This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh Flea, and Sue. I hope you all feel better, and get to have lunch.

hip deep in pie

the dentist proposed a treatment plan for Casper involving two crowns and $2147?

What??

Msbelle, I hope your tests go smoothly.

I am staying put. Part of me wonders if these tummy troubles are not partially due to stress about the dentist. I am worried I may have to get a root canal. Very worried. I just want to go and get it done. I figure my body can't revolt much more since there's nothing left to reject. All I've had is a little bit of water and pepto bismol.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh!!

Sue, root canals can be a very good thing. I loved mine!

Trying to set up paperwork etc to telecommute tomorrow.

Blogs Just Aren't Cool Any More, Teens Say

The strangest thing about this poll.

September data, meanwhile, shows that most teens don't tweet: only 8 percent of teens use Twitter, as opposed to 19 percent of adults. MySpace remains the most popular social networking site for teens, while Facebook serves the same role for adults.

MySpace? That's soooo 2007! C'mon teens you can't let the adults out-Internet you.

Please, I'm glad to know the kids are somewhere else.

I wish I could figure out where the college students are. They ignore email; some are not even on Facebook! I think they just text-message each other individually. It makes marketing boring stuff like the library to them really hard.

Now tagless for your comfort.

flea, I feel your pain about the dentist. We had to have both Owen and Olivia's molars crowned because of decay, in addition to the other fillings. Who'd have thought to budget $5K for kids' dental work? Not me.

You deserve a do over. Any way you can get a lunch delivered and find a few minutes to yourself?

Why, in my day, we got paper flyers in our dorm mailboxes. Paper flyers!

At my university, the college students seem to be of the "individual text" variety as well. They have facebook and pay no attendtion to it. Possibly because it is a bunch of grownups connecting with people from high school and playing silly games!
