Haha I LOVE when people snort! It's so funny!!
And then you laugh more and snort MORE. It's highly entertaining.
So for some strange reason it is incredibly warm here so my mom and I went to the beach for sunset tonight. Shortly after the sunset though we noticed that the moon was sinking, which I don't think I have ever noticed before...I'm pretty sure this has to do with the equinox . I don't know exactly why though and it is really annoying...can anyone explain?

That's kinda funny Annashu, because here its been much colder than usual. It's about 45 degrees outside right now. I think I'll go see if we have any hot chocolate in the break room...
September is often our best month, which is even better because all the tourists are gone
It has been AGES since I've been on GoodReads and this group and I must say, I've missed you guys! :/ I'm in Grad school for journalism and it has been kicking my ass!
Tonight is the first time I've been able to get on and go through threads and it's comforting.
Even though I haven't been able to comment as often as I'd like, I need to get back into the habit so that I can try to maintain some sort of outside "social" life and not crack under pressure!
Anyway, just wanted to put that out there and say I haven't forgotten about you ladies and thanks for keeping things running so that I had something to come back and look at when the time came :)
I will try to be more active now that I've finished reading past threads... maybe starting with the monthly read???
:o)
I just had a random story. My school I am student teaching at was on the news today. We have had a huge outbreak of H1N1 flu and regular flu. We had 200 students out of school on Monday out of the 600 total. It's been crazy!! Just thought I would throw that wierd story out there!! Haha.Anastasia- I agree with you and hopefully I can get back into the monthly reads! Haha. Things just get so busy with school but that is great you're in grad school. I hope you're enjoying it! :)
Wow Janet, thats a lot of swine flu! Hows the H1N1 doing everywhere else?
Hahaha, I heard that employers are losing more money from employees who are calling in sick pretending to have swine flu than from people with actual swine flu itself!

A woman died in my county from it recently, it was on the news and my mom was like, oh my gosh who is that?? The woman was her age but I think she had some other health issues too.

At the moment I'm on a cruise with my family, we're on the Norwegian Pearl, and there are hand sanitizers everywhere. They are at the entrance to every restaurant and every time we leave the ship, or some back on we have to sanitize our hands. Its almost a little insulting to be told by one of the crew members to sanitize. lol. But its nice to know they are taking it so seriously. There are people on here from all over the world, just imagine if they got sick and then went home and spread it.
Just don't use it instead of washing your hands... my brother just told us at dinner (gross) that it only kills them, it doesn't clean them off. So there are, according to him, a bunch of dead germs on your hands afterward.

cruise how can i forget, the last time i went on a lovely cruise was in 1996, i think thats the date, yes it was a vacation to Athens greece, and a cruise to turkey. We stayed in a hotel in athens greece and took a bus tour all over greece and then a cruise to turkey, i dont know about you guys but i never got sea sick, or car sick or air sick, nothing sick, anyway the food on the cruise was amazing, but after a week of fun the adventure did not end, my dad had to fly back to the states to go to work and me and my mom flew from Greece to israel to visit my grandparents and relatives who still live there to this very day. i am hoping that after i graduate to revisit the place that i once called home
Hey Gene, did you ever go to the doctor about your headaches?
the answer is no, and i will tell you why, the reason is because first of all the headache stopped, its been ok for several months now, the number 2 is after my car accident, i walked away from it and i should have checked myself into a hospital to make sure i really was ok, but i did not, and then a few weeks later some of the pain began but i didnt say anything to anyone and then i have them once every few months and i dont think i should go because it was like 2 years ago or more and i dont think that the doctor will do anything so i dont see the point in going... that is why i didnt answer the support group thread because i didnt go to the doctor.
i am sure its only a migraine, its only new to me due to the fact that i never had them, that is why i was concerned, but they do not seem to pose a threat, so at this point i will not pursue this matter end of story
What is a good gift for a bridal shower? One of my good friends from High School is getting married and her bridal shower is this coming weekend. I haven't seen much of her since High School, but we've kept in touch. But I don't really know her as well I as used to, so much ideas for a gift would be much appreciated!
It sounds weird, but if they will be getting a house, something that many couples forget about is a nice garden hose with a thing to hold it in.
Kat- I'm pretty sure there is, but I think a few of my friends and I are going to pitch in to buy a gift for them both from that. I'm trying to think of a gift for her.Jessi- Interesting idea, something that I would never have thought of. They're both still in school so they'll be living in an apartment near campus, or the Married dorms. But I'm going to keep that in mind for the next friend who moves into a house!

Another good idea, especially if one of them likes to cook, is a nice set of knives. I would recommend Cutco, but they are very expensive. Well worth the money though, maybe you could go in on something like that with a few people.

just face the facts, its too late for me whatever happens, happens i will accept it
Okay man, I just hope you're okay. We're here if you need it.
yeah its no problem, i have not had the pain for a while now so.
Good to know Gene, I'm glad you're feeling better.But you'd better go to the doctor if something happens! Or else there will be some serious virtual-butt-kicking coming your way from this group!
butt-kicking as a good thing or bad?
Uh, bad. Usually being kicked is a bad thing. Meaning you're going to be in trouble with us if you don't get help if you need it.
its not like i would need any help, but in trouble how exactly?
Ok, lets see if I can make this clear.You get sick (the headache returns) and you don't get help (going to a doctor) you are going to be in serious trouble with us (meaning we lecture the devil out of you, also known as virtual-butt-kicking).
the butt-kicking does not sound that bad, but i will make a trip if the pain returns or gets worse
So... it's back to class for me. I'm going to Simmons College for library science in January!

That was cool!!! I was almost cheering for him! And his schoolmates were so supportive...awwww... *tear*
I pierced my ears last night. And I'm going to do it twice more, I want 4 holes in each ear. It bloody hurts though! Anyone got any tips on how to pierce one's ears evenly and how not to get an infection?

But if you really don't feel like doing that, I'd recommend using rubbing alcohol and/or fire, like a lighter, to sterilize your needle, rubbing alcohol to sterilize your ear, and then clean it with rubbing alcohol or peroxide very often to keep it from getting infected.

Anyways...Alanis morissette is singing the National Anthem. I just want her to bust out singing "You Oughta Know" or "Ironic" or something lol
For some reason I can't accept followers on my Twitter account (Jamie for example!) and it's making me angry. It says I have no new follower requests and I know it's NOT TRUE TWITTER.
Mod
Jamie, Honey, Friend in Normal Times...The Yankees only have to win one of two at home and we almost came back and won last night after being in the hole 5-1. The only reason we lost last night is because I said I wish they could win in New York and that I was just depressed about baseball season ending and there being no more sports until April. I jinxed them; it was my fault; my dad hollered at my for it and life is going on.
Tahleen, You have a Twitter? I'm CoffeeGirl217. Add me.
Mod
Haha this I know to be true ( the Yankees only having to win one of two home games). However, I have high hopes that the Phillies will win! :)
We will resume being friends after Game 7 :)
No. We'll resume being friends after Game 6 because there's not going to be a Game 7.
