Thanks

I didn't know that they had maple syrup up in Alaska.

I think any maple syrup in Alaska is imported.
The Fairbanks Museum referenced is a real nice museum of natural history in St Johnsbury, VT, which was donated to the Town of St. Johnsbury by the family of Thaddeus Fairbanks. (The inventor of the platform scale)

Good luck - sounds like fun

It was.

My day consisted of seven 25 minute classes, I had one 3rd grade class and the rest were 4th and 5th grade classes. I've done this for several years and I think this was the best group of students that I have ever had. I was amazed with the 3rd graders, maybe I should say with the teacher of the third grade class. I've known her for years (My younger son had her for his 3rd grade teacher many years ago) and we have remained in touch through the years. We visited for a moment before the class started and this one kid started picking up my props. One warning from the teacher not to touch, he promptly picked up something else and was immediately sent to the bus. Believe me the rest of the kids were very attentive.
This is always an enjoyable event, tomorrow I get to go back and interact with the public and the best part is I get to sell product.

Shot will be heartbroken.

Are you going to still try and make the trip? I was really looking forward to the games. I do love the extension of the softball season though. She pitched a scrimmage game against a sister team that was 2 divisions higher than her team and lost only 9-8.

I doubt that I will make the trip. If things work out the way I expect, I will have surgery in mid to late October, with about 6 weeks recuperation time. I see another doctor for a second opinion next Wednesday and will decide what to do after that. I feel a little tired but mostly fine.

No, just doing this in honor of the 2 year anniversary of reaching max rep, considering that I haven't handed out much rep in the last 2 years either, I needed to get back on Ralph's list.

You're still on the list, as is everyone else.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Hi kids. I'm not getting all caught up here but the interview went very well today and it turns out I may be a wanted man at Sirius because if I don't get the particular job I interviewed for they want to get me in there with a show somehow.

Well how 'bout that, eh?

Great news.

I've wanted to tell people to take their *** to Wal Mart on a daily basis...(no offense)

Dude, I work at Walmart. I don't think I'm offendable anymore :/

And SO many people complain about how the store is too big. Get over it, we're not going to make it smaller or build a new store.

I swear, I'm done ranting about work until at least tomorrow evening. I'm so burned out right now I can't stand it. Between work and school, I get one day to myself every week. And that one day isn't even every seven - closer to 10. Ugh. I need to get out of this place.

Keep us posted. My thoughts are with you. You could recuperate in Cedar City at the end of October when the Sioux play Southern Utah in football.

Thats a bummer dude.

Ya, gonna be a tough while around here, he was a real likable guy from the N'orleans area, so he was usually around campus all the time. Can't even imagine how his family is right now. College is definitely too early in life to have to say goodbye.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Tonight I went to see a play that my brother's friend was in. I know this guy. The play was in this local playhouse that seated maybe 75. There were only about 30 people in the audience. It was a comedy but wow, was it bad. My brother's friend was definitely the best part of the whole show. It was just...bad. We stayed after the show to say hi and he was like "So, what did you think?" Um, you were great!! He was way too serious about his acting. It was a little awkward.

A college hockey show?

Whats up kids, been real busy with work lately after a very slow spring and summer. Thats a good thing I guess, should be busy thru Christmas anyway.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

took the two younger boys to see cloudy with a chance of meatball tonight. not bad.




les, you ignorant slut.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! silly saturday.

Off to Enfield Ct. no this sounds exciting. L'il has parity tournament this WE. Even tho it is 2 hrs away Mr insists we should commute. This way he gets to miss the team dynamic and all the parent interaction. I think we should have stayed- kids get to hang together when they are stuck places but...Mr says he has enough of traveling and living with smelly hockey equipment all year.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Just put a huge pot of tomatos thru the food mill, now it sits on the burner evaporating till I get it thick enough for pizza sauce and then into ball jars. Made a dry rub for some pork ribs which I will be smoking later today. Now off to hang ceiling panels in my shop. Need to get the garage door installed badly before mice take over the place, need the ceiling to get said door installed

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Wingahhhhhh!!!

My pants are now off, in your honor.

Horray!!! Pants should always be off.

Funny story. So I am walking into the hockey rink for the first game of my tourney this weekend and I am in a skirt. Another woman commented " I love how you show up to hockey in a skirt" (For the record I show up to hockey in lots of things, business suits, dresses, sweatpants, etc). And the response in my head was "cause i friggen hate pants", but really I just laughed out loud.

Hi winger!
And as of today, one month until the Grand Rapids marathon. Got a 16 mile run tomorrow, and a 20 miler next week.

HI!!!

Ahhh to run again, but it will happen soon. And no more sinus infections. This has been the worst year for running for me. Even playing hockey this weekend I am just a hollow person because these sinus infections take so much out of me.
Sadness really

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 83: Hot Toddies and Cool Weather

Just put a tray of tomatoes in the oven with olive oil, a little balsamic vinegar and salt to roast.

Really installing printer this time. Half way thru and so far so good.
