Here's a good explanation of Thanksgiving:

We also call it "Turkey Day"!!

Morning all Crossing fingers I can get a project under my belt today.

Sipping my morning cup of coffee and trying to get started for the day.

Hoping everyone has a good day today.

I'm up early today. Guess I'll need a nap by early afternoon.....I can already feel it!

I've done as much as I can for my garage sale for now. Once I get the tables I can start placing things but I can't get them until the day before the sale. I'm so hoping that most of this stuff sells. I really just want to get rid of it.

DS26 is off work for the next few days. Seems a man who didn't want to go to jail took out his frustration on DS and he hurt his left hand. He was alone.....waiting for backup to arrive.....but the "perp" took advantage of the situation and tried to run. DS won in the end but not before badly injuring his hand. Just let me have a moment with the guy (alone).....I guarantee he'll never do that again! I'm beginning to sound like the lady in 'Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot"!

Well, one good thing.....my neighbor's lawn is covered with leaves again!! The one who blew all his leaves into my yard the other day! Things have a way of evening themselves out! I'm really a nice person.........really.......

I am back at school today. I came in early at 7:30 to get some things done. So I am ready for my 10:00 class and only have four exams left to grade. Each one takes me about 15 minutes.

There are more articles in the paper today about possible furloughs. I hate to sound so self interested, but I am worried that this is really going to cause alot of problems for me regarding retirement in 2012. But then I feel selfish, what effect will this have on people who are making 11.00 an hour?(secretaries, custodians, etc). How can they survive with a six week cut in pay?

Morning, all...cloudy, but no meatballs
Barb, I hope this issue gets resolved...it's really scary...
Kelly, glad the leaves are back where they belong! Hope your son's hand heals quickly...

All of you out there...hope you're doing well. I'm not nearly as sore as I was yesterday...trying to rest more, since I overdid it yesterday.

Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!

Morning all! We're having coffee and then I have to get up and go see the ENT. I am scheduled for a hearing test and exam on my ears. I've been having some issues with background noises. I can't hear a darn thing in a crowd or with any noise in the background. I'll let you know how that goes. I then made an appointment with my regular doctor to have some bumps on my nose checked. I think they are clogged pores but they have been here awhile. Since I am fair skinned I've been told I need to have them looked at.

Mom is coming around. No one has called to let us know anything yet. I'll give them a call later on when I get home or tomorrow. I was told to talk to the therapy leader.

Have a good day everyone.

Barb - Saying some prayers they get things worked out and SOON!

Kelly - How scary!!!! I hope your DS's hand heals soon. AND, I am so glad all those leaves ended up where they belong; in your neighbors yard. LOL Karma!

Fin - Pace yourself. (Like I'm one to talk. LOL) The project will get done in due time.

Wiz - Not way to go on the hair cut! LOL I don't like it much. DBF really likes it so I guess there is a benefit to it. DD19 and I figured it out yesterday. I had 5 inches cut off! As for the Excel test, that is not right to have a basic test with advanced questions. Praying that next time you do better.

Supermoo - Hope you get the computer stuff fixed. It is so frustrating when that happens.

Hi everyone else. Hope you all are having a good day!

I am downloading work right now and will start that soon. It's a good thing both financially and to slow me down. I was feeling pretty good this morning and am at DBF's so I washed the kitchen floor, dusted the walls in the living (it gets so dusty in the desert), and am getting ready to vacuum the couch and floor. Good thing I have some work to do so I "rest" a bit. LOL

Sandy - Good luck on the test and the "nose" check. Us fair skinned people have to be careful. I wear sunscreen all the time as we pretty much have sun blaring all year long. Let us know how it goes.
