Keep those fingers crossed for me tormorrow - I have another job interview. It's getting a little weird at the current place, since we've decided who's replacing me & her replacement started today. I'm dealing, but I'll be happier once I know where I'm going to land.
Tom, I'd envy you your cruise, but we're going to Kauai from the 21st thru the 28th so I guess I can't complain too much.
... just booked another cruise to go on for this October - in approximately 4 weeks in fact. I can't complain - my Dad is picking up the tab. If you though I was cheap - my Dad is an even BIGER skin flint = the cruise is just a 4 niter out of LA. The last cruise I picked up for HIM was an Alaskan one where I paid for everyhing. Sigh... I guess I should not complain. It's so funny though. I told him i saw his cruise and it was the cheapest one I had seen in a long time - and he said "lets go... I'll even pay for you to go"... to which I said I might not be able to go - too many things going on - and he replied "if you don't go I won't go"... and he's picking up the tab for some relatives on my step Mothers' side who he's hosting.
At any rate - it's a little Monday to friday one.
Woo Hooo!!!
Hi Everyone!
Have been busy lately.
I'm studying for my recertification exam next month. I forgot how hard it is to sit and study for a few hours a day. Especially with children in the house.
My exam is on November 3rd. I have to review all of EM in a month.
On a happier note! My Barbossa sword came yesterday. It's really cool. Now I have to convert it to a six inch sword like Todd's.
I think I will need help Todd.
I also received my final frock coat fabric yesterday. It's a real good match to the one in the movie. I need to dye it to the right color though. We need a new washing machine anyway.
Hope to get to chat this week. Have been missing much due to work.
Have a great day![]()
I wasn't going to post this because of the public nature of the boards, but in light of the recent discussions, here goes:
Had to drop out of chat suddenly on Friday. DS began telling me all the ways he had thought about harming himself that day. He didn't want to get in trouble anymore and decided if he killed himself, he wouldn't get in trouble. Spent that evening in the ER where the head of child psychology determined he was fit to go home. The thoughts (no actions so far, just expressing his thoughts) of hurting himself kept up all weekend, and intensified when we were meeting with his psychiatrist yesteray. They admitted him to the ER right away and finally found a spot at a crisis facility late that evening.
For now he's in for a minimum of 3 days. The doctors will determine if he needs to be in longer. They are already telling me that 3 days is usually not enough time to do a good evaluation.
While I'm devastated that my son was so distraught to think of hurting himself, I am so relieved that he never acted on those thoughts. And I am encouraged that maybe we can finally get all the agression, disobedience, and apparently depression under control.

p.s.......if you was to ask, what's the best secret for living a longer
life? [esp. those with diabetes..or heart problems].....washing hands...
& finding somthing "happy"..in every day....even eating a favorite candy
bar....[or half of one].
I also received my final frock coat fabric yesterday. It's a real good match to the one in the movie. I need to dye it to the right color though. We need a new washing machine anyway.
Well in our case, DH owns a tux & even though it may be a pain to pack...it's not any worse than pirate costumes, cocktail dresses, shoes & more shoes! I have a feeling he'll be wearing it for the semi-formal & formal nights so he's all set. DS grew out of his, so I'll have to go out & buy him a new one!
....he just booked the same cruise for January with his new girlfriend.
Wow Esteri, I actually learned a lot of info from you.
To add cable hook-up to our computer is about $46 a month more and we already use Comcast company for our TV. DSL is about $25 a month but I have to change phone companies. My phone company is Comcast too so Comcast does not offer DSL. It is such a mess.I just hate to pay $46 a month for me to just play on the internet.

DH has a at T1 hook-up at work which I know what that means thanks to you. Now I know why he gets so frustrated with our computer at home. Dial-up is slow compared to his work computer.![]()
Anyone here a Princeton Alum? Anyone have a family member had attend Princeton?
If he's accepted, tuition won't be an issue.They have grants in place to ensure that all eligible students will be meet the tuition obligations.
If anyone has any tips/words of wisdom about Princeton, please share them.
Not about Princeton, per say, since I graduated from Mills College.

Hi guys.
Anyone here a Princeton Alum? Anyone have a family member had attend Princeton?
Tyreak and I attended a Princeton info meeting Sunday afternoon. I checked out their site before hand. I almost passed out when I saw the price of tuition.![]()
![]()
Tyreak wasn't really interested, (has ignored everything he's received from them) but decided he wanted to attend the meeting. He looked bored out of his mind the whole time.
However, when the meeting ended he looked at me as "I think I want to go there." We spoke with a few grads that were there and Tyreak is now hooked.

Thanks.
Oh, he doesn't graduate until 2009 so we still have time to figure things out.
Wow, that's really great if he is interested and has the smarts to go there.
I didn't go to an Ivy League school -- I went to a Kudzu League school.
