Fri, 16 May 2008 07:52:10 GMT 30 http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/loop.html Sorry I haven't been around. I'm a little overwhelmed right now with everything that is going on between school, not being sure about summer school employment, etc. ,etc. It's a mess down here in the school system right now. they cut back our summer school money by 75% and there is little left. I'm trying to hold it together and do the refi so I can get a month off of paying my mortgage -- which would be at the best time of the year...July! Anyway, I'm sort of exhausted today because my on ...

Look at this face! Size is not an issue in this friendship! Bears are also the best. The Duckettes We're your dream ducks...... Best buddies, feathers and fur. And last but not least... (judah of course) Tue, 13 May 2008 22:50:00 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/dentist_day.html Now I am not one to actually enjoy going to the dentist. My palms will begin to involuntarily sweat the moment I think of this white clothed hard faced person even though the guy I have now is great. It goes back in my memory to a time when dentists were probably the most hated profession of all. At least after all this time, they have cleaned up their acts to a great extent. Let's go back a few thousand years (well not quite that many) to my childhood. I must have had a million lollipops ... Tue, 13 May 2008 20:45:21 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/acctual_police_comments.html These Police Comments were taken off actual police car videos around the country: 1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through." 2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They stretch after awhile." 3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document." 4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired." 5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be ... Tue, 13 May 2008 16:44:23 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/continuing_story_needle.html I'm going to put a picture in this so you can see it. I took it at the time that it happened, as per my cousin who is a lawyer recommended. I also reported this to the food and drug administration. They took all the information as you would think that they would. My cousin told me to contact a PI lawyer which I did, someone we used to know many years ago. He's calling me back today. Meanwhile, I will be scheduling a doctor's appointment to make sure I didn't swallow the other 1/2 of the ne ... Tue, 13 May 2008 14:58:03 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/computer.html Haven't been able to be on much because we had a power outage at home on Sunday and haven't been able to get my computer back online. Sorry. I'll try to stop by today, but I'm really busy. Talk to you. Tue, 13 May 2008 11:05:37 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/need_lawyer.html Something really strange happened yesterday morning, I was having my slice of Pepperidge Farm Light Oatmeal bread toasted and as I was chewing, I found something hard inside of it. It was 1/2 of a sewing needle -- something you find rarely in my house because I don't sew unless I absolutely have to. Never cared for it. It was the top end of the needle and it was in the middle of my piece of toast. Freaked out totally, I immediately washed my mouth out with peroxide and water and put the ne ...

Happy Mother's Day Graphics provided by MySpaceAnimations.com Sun, 11 May 2008 15:05:18 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/busy_busy_saturday.html I only have 5 minutes and then off I go. This is a great Saturday! Now don't get me wrong, the challenges that almost did me in the other day are still looming on the horizon, but all in all this is going to be an excellent day. I got up, cleaned and vacuumed, walked a couple of miles (not enough time for my usual 3.5)and now it's off to get my nails done. Then I have to buy a couple of things at STeinmart for tonight. Get dressed for prom in my slinky black gown. Then my best bud will pic ... Sat, 10 May 2008 14:38:38 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/york_york.html Why did I move to NYC????? I was in my 20's free, acting for a living (which is rare) in the Backstage Kenley Players in Dayton Ohio. I was having the time of my life. My roommate wanted to move to NYC to pursue her dream and I said "What the heck! I'll go." And we sold our cars and extra baggage, went up for a brief visit to find an apartment which we did on 72nd and Central Park West -- a great neighborhood by the way. Across the street from the likes of John Lennon and Yoko Ono -- and w ... Fri, 9 May 2008 22:19:49 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/help.html I followed the directions to paste a video, but my insert is not working, is there something else I need to do?

I well remember going through so many horrible times. The time I found out that the twins I was carrying for the previous 33 1/2 weeks had no heartbeats and we hoped upon hope that somehow a miracle would give them back to us. We never knew why they died, or why I went into toxemia and through days of inducing labor before finally giving birth. Even at the moment while I hemorraged in the delivery room, almo ... Fri, 9 May 2008 13:27:43 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/doing_great.html This has not been a good day, to say the least. I'm not going to give details, but many things that could go wrong, simply have. I'm not at liberty to say, but sometimes when it rains -- it simply becomes a hurricane. I'm having a hurricane day. God bless, talk to you later. Thu, 8 May 2008 22:03:08 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/race_write_this_good.html THE RACE AT SUNRISE Every Morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion, or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle, or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up, you had better be running. Thu, 8 May 2008 14:55:51 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/thursday_day_friday.html So, I went shopping last night, but to no avail. Walked into Jacques Pen-nay (JDPenny) and was looking at gowns that were on sale. Found a red one in what I thought was my size and took it in to try it on. It wouldn't zip. I thought, but everything I've bought lately is my new size, what's the deal? I looked at the tag. It was a junior size! Please, junior? I haven't been a junior since high school. I laughed, took it back and found the misses section. There was NOTHING and when I say NOTH ... Thu, 8 May 2008 13:14:17 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/tacky_funny_stupid_way_.html Yodeling Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began? Many years ago a man was traveling through the mountains of Switzerland Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He went up to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night. The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn. As the story goes, the farmer's daughter asked her father, "Who is that man going into the barn?" "That fellow traveling through," said the farmer. "needs a place to st ... Thu, 8 May 2008 11:40:28 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/talk_depressing.html The results for The Biggest Loser Competition came in and I lost. I came in second by one ounce. They did it by percentage of body weight lost, and I barely lost. I'm so depressed! Yeah, I lost weight, but I worked so hard for it. I'm so amazed that I lost! Anyway...I did get $2 last night on lotto and played a scratch off today and got $5! At least I won something. Thu, 8 May 2008 00:27:23 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/wednesday_payday.html Yeah, it's half way through the week. The yearbook got here today and it's absolutely beautiful. A couple of minor mistakes, but pretty much a great job. The pictures are excellent and I'm proud of the kids. Of course tomorrow starts the melee. Tomorrow they start getting them. It's amazing. We produce a 350 page all color book that is so very nice, but the kids will get criticized for the occasional typo or the small omission. This is a student production and I applaud the students for wo ... Wed, 7 May 2008 20:45:40 GMT
