No kidding...except that I look like crap! 
Shiny new will only see someone he cares about in need.
And hooking up is good for colds/your immune system!

I was thinking that the stress of dealing with a silly boy was tearing it down...
Skunky, can you write me a prescription for hooking up?
I feel like a real dumba$$. Are "shiny new" and "remote control" euphemisms for a hand-held, battery operated "boyfriend"?

Darlene is my middle name, not my nickname
I am overserved, but Mermy is worse.
Did she keep her clothes on? ;-)
Feel better soon NH!
I'm a literal kind of girl. The boyfriend is still new, in the breaking in period, no dings or scratches yet...
The remote control is the thing that changes the channel on my television...literally!

Thanks!
Today I spent most of the day cleaning out the drama closet. The only thing worse than cleaning out a closet is cleaning out a closet you didn't mess up.
Highlights:
Highlights:
- There were about 5,392,332 shoes. (Most of them were women's shoes...I don't get that.) I was looking for a spare set of cubbies to store them. (We have cubbies in the classroom for the boys' bookbags) but then the IT guy told me that he had 300 wooden boxes that used to be used for computer consoles. We stacked a couple dozen of them up and made shoe cubbies. Worked like a charm.
- I had 6 or more HUGE boxes of clothes, fabric, hats, etc. that were just piled on the floor. The head of maintenance was the one bugging me to clean out the closet--I told him I needed a rack for the clothes. He came through. Today I made up for all the times my parents fussed at me for not hanging up my clothes. I hung up togas from "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." I hung up navy uniforms from "South Pacific." I hung up baseball uniforms from "Damn Yankees." I hung up tiny little bedazzled costumes that made no sense at all. I think I hung up a Peter Pan costume, but I'm not sure. I folded a couple dozen pairs of khaki shorts, and ended up hanging up one pair of gym shorts that was big enough to hold sowalgayboi in one leg and destin scuba in the other.
- I found a box of about a dozen styrofoam "straw" hats. I carefully packed them so they wouldn't get broken and went on to the next box. It held about 2 dozen REAL straw hats. Gorgeous lined hats with beautiful hatbands. Must have cost a fortune.
- I also had a box of really nice men's fedoras. Of course, one had ear holes cut in it because they did "Harvey" last year.
- I also had a couple of dozen sailor hats. I found those silly things in just about every box. I only found 3 of our Washington Senators hats from Damn Yankees. The boys must have ganked those.
- I think I told y'all about the huge box of pantyhose. There were probably 200 pairs of leggs pantyhose and tights. They came from an overstock catalog. I get to keep those, but I left them at school. My lingerie drawer simply isn't big enough for 200 pairs of pantyhose and tights.
- I've never had a pair of jazz shoes. I do now. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in my class who wears a ladies 9M.
- If 200 pairs of pantyhose at an all-boys military school isn't silly enough, then let's talk about the box of ladies hats. They were mostly the little pillbox type. I can't imagine why we had those or the cute little purses that went with them. I guess they're for all the girls who will wear the shoes and pantyhose.
- I have 5 fog machines. 4 of them work. I also have a confetti cannon. :roll:
- Also in the eye-rolling category: 3 pairs of ice hockey skates. I asked the maintenance guy why the hail I had ice hockey skates. Before he could stop himself, he said it must have been for some play. I pointed out that you can't really walk across a wooden stage in ice skates.
- I probably should have thrown away the 4 electric exit signs, the kite, and the pair of really strange looking birds on fishing wire, but who knows when you may need those things?

It's tax time - so I am going through ALL my paperwork - and found this steaming pile of hooey!
I have always been against the use of credit scores in determining auto insurance rates, but this is the last straw!!!
Apparently my credit report was used to calculate my auto insurance premium and I did NOT receive the lowest possible premium for these reasons (even though my info was "very good" in their words) because:
1) I applied for credit at least once in the last 2 years
2) I had no reported auto loans or leases opened in the last 10 years
3) I had a payment past due in the last 7 years
So because I got pre-approved for a loan (but didn't get one), didn't finance my only car ever, and was late on a payment sometime since I was 22, I have to pay more - even though I have never made a claim, gotten in an accident, or gotten a ticket!!!
Pucking insurance companies!!! :angry:

I agree that the whole system sucks.
