Default Spring iz sprung, the Grass is riz, I wonder where the Cowzies iz?

Apparently I'm bored, so I'm starting a new thread. I guess I'll go back and leave a "We've Moved" message on the last one. Wouldn't want to lose anyone.

My dog has, ahem, diarrhea. Eww. Thank you, vet boarding kennel.

Speaking of diarrhea, I called in sick today. They made me call back when a manager was scheduled to be there. The manager they meant wasn't there on time so they made to talk to a manager of another department. Three times he said: Do you think you'll be able to come in later? I had to insist that I needed to stay near a bathroom.

I need teacher help. Bagz is a teacher, for example. I need classroom procedures. The teacher I have has none. I'm sure she started the year with them but at this point, 19 days til the end, things are flowing just fine and they've been tossed. But I have to make some up for school.

Question of the day: Ponce de Leon was the first Spanish conquistador to come to Florida. Who was the second? (I missed this on my test yesterday. Narrowed it to Cortex and Cordova and picked the wrong one.)

Hope you are feeling better, Peachie. All I know about Spanish conquistadors is that Cortex is a part of the brain, so it must be Cordova. Or it that a brand of car?

I'll bet you could find all kinds of classroom procedures on the web. Search, woman.

Who would be interested in being interviewed by my DD for her paper on Contraception History and Attitudes?

Talking

Get well soon, Peachy and Puppy!

I did not lose nor have I ever lost 9 lbs. It keeps going up, not down. How'd you do that Kiweenie?

Cortex or Cordova? I thought it was Montezuma, as in Montezuma's Revenge. Peachy, I cannot believe that manager type wanted you to come in ever after you told him you were sick. Sick is sick.

Classroom procedures? When I was in high school had this teacher, Mrs. P, from West Virginia. She taught English Lit. And we girls had to stand up every time a teacher entered the room. So she'd come into the classroom, we'd stand up and she'd say, "Good morning, girls" and we'd say, "Good morning, Mrs. P!" and then she'd say "Y'all take your seats!" And we'd laugh our heads off because she always said "y'all". Does that count as classroom procedure?

I had the worst sleep last night. You know when you swear you didn't sleep a wink but you must have just a little because you can remember weird dreams but you wake up in the morning feeling bulldozed (bulldozered?) anyway? That's me today. As I said, I am having some little guesties over fer lunch on Wed and the house is a pit. One is the one from Atlanta that I've met before and the other is from Tennessee, I think, but she married a German guy about 8 yrs ago. I guess we'll be saying "y'all" a lot.

Must go drink more coffee and clean the tip.

Hey cowsies. We're back from our relaxing weekend at the beach. It was --- relaxing. and fattening. We ate non stop. Dinner out friday and saturday nites, breakfast at our favorite place. They serve stuffed french toast, which is nice eggy french toast w/ citrus cream cheese and bananas in the middle, and berry compote over the top. It should be illegal. I'm back on the wagon this morning.

Isn't it Cortez? a cortex is definitely a part of the brain. I learned that on Dr. G, Medical Examiner. Hee.

Everyone's schedules are so busy I get tired just reading about it. Bagzie, I'm working on getting my deck pots planted this week. What are you planting in your greenhouse??

Guess I'd better get to work here - month end stuff to get done. Bleeh.

I need to loose some weight too, Bagzie. How are we gonna do it?

DeSoto???? Isn't that a car? I'm so confused. Loosing some weight would probably help the ol' brain cells. Mine, not Wabbies.

GAWD! I'm sooo glad I chimed in after the geography/explorer Q/A... reminds me of a story from Schatzi's past.... a coworker got a beautiful lab... and I said What's his name?

Balboa, said she


Like Rocky ? In the Movie! Said I


Nooooo :Said she ..... Like the explorer....

how sad is that...

ohhh that sounds toooo funnie yall spreken de deutch? I love it !

Good lawd, Contraception History and Attitudes...lets see..... I assume DD means in the US of A?? no god fearin woman would have sex before marriage, any chile after was a gift ... no god fearin woman would admit to sex before marriage and if they was wit chile, it was herbs, hangers or bein sent away... then there was the pill, no gawd fearin woman would admit to takin.... then there was legalized abortion for which women would go to **** for... then there was the day after pill , for which since the woman might possibly be preggo, would go to **** for... hmmm then there is early withdrawl for which see one of the above, or man was condemned for spilling the seed, and then condoms for which again man spills the seed unused...And then there is acceptance or open discussion of sexual exploration before marriage that was spoken in a mature context openly in the 90s..perhaps as a by product of open discussion of STDs,and AIDS and protection against that and unwanted pregnancy--and now, I think contraceptives being a part of any discussion about sex in general. But still, it being a primarily female responsibility. Interrrrrestiing topic for DD.

Schatzi edits to say that last "90s" and beyond part is what she sees/perceives in the not so religious homesteads... just sayin...is all...

Well, she doesn't need pregnancy support, she needs to interview human beings about their experiences and attitudes about birth control. But, hey, thanks for the suggestion.

I didn't lose 9 lbs. That's the same place that thing's been since I hit that weight a long time ago. I am still going back and forth trying to hit it again. It was probably a fluke and will never be seen again. But I'm not changing it back because I am ever hopeful. Or just stubborn.

Holy carp, Wabbit, my mouth is watering reading about your weekend.

DeSoto? I remember him. Vaguely. Why do they bother asking you questions like this anyway? Don't they know this stuff will be right there in writing in the books you will be teaching from? As my Statistics professor used to say "Life is Open Book".

Hey, don't feel bad, Schatzi, sounds like a perfectly reasonable mistake. Who names their pets after explorers anyway?

Gross. Jet is still um sick. Not that she acts sick. But this is so gross to clean up every time. On her, I mean, not where she does it. Fortunately she is very reliable about going outside and I can hose it down out there. But she stinks.

I have done nothing today. Apart from wiping the dog's butt and calling the vet trying to find out what the heck happened to her while she was boarding there. I got no answer to that, but they did give me some suggestions to deal with it: kaopectate and a bland chicken and rice diet. I hate to change a pet's diet; it is so hard to change it back to actual pet food. Oh well, can't let it go on like this. Poor thing. What I can't believe is that in spite of this she is able to wait in her crate as long as I need her to and not mess in there. She's a good puppy.

Hey Sugar, Y'all have a good time cleaning, y'hear?

Dog Day? That sounds like fun! Will there be rides and cotton candy?

Sadly I had to take my digital camera to the store to be sent away for repair. It just refused to extend it lens or take any pictures. It will not be back in time for me to take it to NYC. How ******ed.
