So each post for the day will start out with a quote or saying. I thought with Thanksgiving upon us, a quote from the wonderful Erma Bombeck would be appropriate.
"What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving?" - Erma Bombeck

Good morning! :)
Nice quote. :-)
May I gratuitously "tee-hee!" for a moment? Lucky is love and as such was on yesterday and is on today...
Guess who wasn't and isn't?
So how long before he carries his lunch? Any takers?
*grins*
Oh, I just figured that James Franco couldn't handle his Marlon Brando-ness, or Hugh Jackman-ness, or whatever, and refused to work with him.
*whistling*
One more day after today. Last class of the day coming up. Tomorrow we are going to take it easy. I have a math jeopardy game planned for all my classes using it as a refresher. Kids loved it last year.
I am baking pumpkin squares, pumpkin brownies, and pumpkin cheescake squares tonight for school tomorrow. Some for teachers lounge and the rest for the kids.
Tomorrow pumpkin pie making.
And thanks for the thoughts yesteday Lori. As I am sure you all know, losing a loved one especially around the holidays is difficult. It's interesting that in years past, losing my grandparents, my oldest brother many years ago, my dad's loss has really left the biggest gap and it wasn't that I wasn't close to the others either. I think it's had the same effect on all of us.
My mom talking about selling the house finally and selling it may actually close that chapter for all of us.
Anyone have an iphone. My husband is trying to talk me into getting one.
iPhone=best thing ever.
I kid you not. I've had mine for 1.5 years or so now and I don't know what I would do without it.
You can never go wrong with an Apple product.
Sandra,
We have had an apple computer and Tim just purchased a new MacBook. It's again wonderful. And it's pretty much my computer. He has a Sony Windows based laptop he uses for work along with his blackberry.
I still have my old Lenovo thinkpad - well 3 years old and it works fine. But I had it primarily when I was doing more consulting work. I am probably going to give it to my nephew who needs one.
So I was checking out the iphone seeing if we could somehow get rid of our DSL service and use tethering but sadly it's only available on the Blackberry which I do not want
So I think I am sold on the iphone. The 16mg models are now running 99 dollars and the service plans seem pretty standard. 60/month for 900 minutes with rollover capability and 30/month for data. 5/month for 200 text messages. I don't text much of course that could change.
So we'll see. I'm not sure I need an Iphone but my hubby thinks I have to have one. So who am I to argue.(notice my eyes rolling off the back of my head).
Men and their electronic toys, eh? I think if I actually had a man in my life, I might be a lot more tech savvy than I am now.
Well I will say Tim is not as bad as most. we have no big screen TV or no big stereo system and I used to be fixated with tech gadgets back when I was doing consulting work. I had a palm pilot for a long time and have had my DSL service for ages.
But with his business and him running his own business now, that has required him to expend cash on some additional technology. I tend to stay out of his home office. We share the DSL service but that's about it. Since he's gotten his Sarbanes-Oxley certification, his business has really bumped up. But his equipment is his and I don't generally touch it. But since he spent time researching this equipment of course he's now the expert so I listen like a good obedient american wife. It's why I am doing my own research on the iphone. Do I really need it?
*raises hand* we have the big ass obnoxious plasma TV courtesy of my husband.
I told my teenage son the other day that he should thank his father, because if it was just me raising the boys, we'd be in some little bungalow with no technology at all. I halfway mean it. I like TV at times, but really there is something lost when we're all so plugged in all the time. I refuse to get cable, which seems weird considering the TV we have, but it's such a plethora of shit that I can't justify the expense - and I don't want my kids watching most of it. I'm sure we'll succumb eventually, but I would love to live a while sans any of these "great" technological advances we have. It seems like so much noise just distracting us from thinking and interacting with one another in a real way. And now we can take it with us in the form of our phones and kids are texting all the time and emailing and blogging or else they're on thier GameBoys and DSI's - but where is the real tangible relationships and necessary social skills that make life rich and worthwhile?
