RAVE: STEVE SPURRIER SIGNED A LETTER OF INTENT TO COACH SOUTH CAROLINA!!!!

Rave: Steve Spurrier signed a letter of intent to coast South Carolina!!!

Rant: We're losing Lou Holtz. He's stepping down because his wife's health is so poor.

Rant: Statia, so sorry about your husband being ill.

Statia Nov 19th, 2004 05:43 AM

Thanks for your thoughts, GoTravel. It's my mom's husband who is ill, though. My own husband is just hunky dorey these days. So much so, in fact, his bouncing off the walls energy can drive me batty at times. :D

cd, congrats on your 44th anniversery.
I have to ask a question and even if this sounds stupid, what is a house bitch?

jor Nov 19th, 2004 06:43 AM

and can you catch it?

cd Nov 19th, 2004 06:46 AM

jor
Not stupid at all :-) It's a joke. He was downsized a year ago and has been looking for employment, but as I was working and he was not, he took care of all the household work. I mean everything! Two months ago we moved into a new house and I've never cooked a meal or scrubbed a floor. Now that he's employed again, YEA! he told me with a smile, "now, you've lost your house bitch'

GoTravel Nov 19th, 2004 06:47 AM

jor: The answer to your first question is the recently retired
Mr. GoTravel.


:-D


:-D

Rant: Jersey said...[As the Principal of our kids high school says..."have a great day, or not. Its your choice"].

My kids middle school principal said that too, EVERY morning over the PA system, I think his mantra was "Make it a great day or not, it's your choice" I'm so glad my kids are out of middle school and they can stop making fun of this comment daily! Is this what administrative staff learn during their in-service days? Is there a script?

They also have words of the month, like "responsibility" and "compassion" as if saying words many times per month will actually change a child's behaviour.

Ani Nov 19th, 2004 07:05 AM

RAVE: The anniversaries, b-days, weight loss and great trips of my fellow fodorites! I've not been on much, miss you guys!

RAVE: Almost all x-mas shopping is done! Can't wait for the holidays!

RAVE: 10 pounds under my pre pg weight and a size 1/2 or 3/4...yay!

Alisa Nov 19th, 2004 07:07 AM

Rave: I got engaged last night! Yea!

Rave: We get to go to San Diego in a few weeks to celebrate!

cd, at least you can say you had one ;) Happy Anniversary! :-)

Rave: The colorful, warm, beautiful south Texas autumn sunrises and sunsets ((#))

Rave: Competition program is just 3 minutes...57 minutes less than the freezing cold dress rehearsal of yesterday (:| Two weeks and counting!

Rave: the traveling recipe thread!

Rant/Rave: My husband made it home three house late Sunday night but at least he made it home; others were not so fortunate. A chartered plane carrying two fathers and their sons crashed into a building that night. One of the wives heard about the crash on t.v. My heart breaks for the families.

Take good care everyone! :)>-
