    Yes, congrats HC. Save your raise money for the NYC trip. Maybe we can go look at the Jimmy Choos, they don't charge you to look, do they? ;)

    I'd love a trip to NY, that would be wonderful!

    Yeah... think on that one for a minute...

    Chick vacation? :( I thought I was invited, lol

    I'll all for broadway and shopping... shoes are kind of boring though. I like buying cool pants. With lots of pockets.

    HistorianChick
    LOL! Sadly, no. I got "How much" a LOT in China... after a while I got used to it...

    I guess they thought I looked Russian... and most of the foreign prostitutes in Dalian were Russian...

    Hence the "how much"...

    One time, they actually wouldn't even let me on campus! Had to show them that I was a teacher there... and that was in jeans and Adidas tennies!

    Of course you can come, right girls, and Sneezy and M, that way you won't be lonely when we girls start our Chick speak!
  • May 6, 2008, 08:37 AM

    I agree... I could handle a weekend with Sneezy, Retsy, and M... that would be quite fun!

    We'd do up NYC right! ;)

    HC, when I was 16 I went to a bar downtown (bad Alty, fake ID, kids, don't try this!) my friend went to get the car while I waited on the corner. I'm standing there minding my own business when a car pulls up with two guys in their 20's. They yell "How much!" I said "It's midnight!", they yell "how much" again, I yell, "for what?" at which time it dawned on me what they meant. I was in jeans and a t-shirt for goodness sake!

    After I explained to them how very wrong they were I realized that all the people standing around me on that corner were prostitutes. Oy, this is why they don't allow underage people in to bars! :)

    I don't know... I might turn into a pimp if I go to NY, lol.

    There's a picture of me at prom with a bunch of girls, and I'm wearing a feather boa one of them put around my neck. We're all posed, and I'm in the middle.

    Good times...

    He sure is HC. :)

    Sorry guys, I had an important phone call to take, it took longer then I thought.

    Anyone still here, or did you all leave?
  • May 6, 2008, 09:41 AM
    HistorianChick
    Hey you - I'm still here...

    My boss told me that the President personally requested me to write a new article for the Aug/Sept lead article... on Reading Comprehension and its importance to the development of a child...

    Researching...

    :)
  • May 6, 2008, 09:48 AM
    Alty
    I could help you with that research, sort of.

    My son is 9 years old, he repeated Kindergarten because he just wasn't ready to move on to grade 1. He has been in speech therapy since he was five and is now in a special class for English and Math. He is finally up to a grade 2 reading level, he's in grade 3.

    If you want to ask some questions about him and my daughter I'll answer if I can. I don't know exactly what you want to know for your article, but if you want to do some research on my kids (no needles ;)) I'm game.

    Let me know.

    Eeeek, look at the time. I've got to run guys, time to pick up princess Sydney.

    I'll be back later.

    BE GOOD! ;)

    Ooo... OK! Thanks! I'm not sure which direction I'm going to go yet... have to let it sink in for a bit and mull it over...

    But thanks! I may be pm'ing you! :)
  • May 6, 2008, 10:19 AM
    retsoksirhc
    Lol alty, I'll see if I can find it. I know I got it in an email a while back.

    SO guess who got a sexy new phone? :)

    I got the sprint Katana II. I get a new phone every 2 years... they let you upgrade for free... thats how they catch you. A new 2 year contract.

    Fortunately, I've had my contract for about 6 years... It's the bestest plan ever. 750 anytime minutes, free long distance, free nights and weekends starting at 8pm for $40/month. More like I caught THEM :)

    And they gave me a free phone to stick with that... I paid $30 for a car charger and phone clip. Good ol sprint...

    Anyway... I'm off to do some work at the amtrack station. Kiosk upgrades!
  • May 6, 2008, 01:07 PM
    retsoksirhc
    I see you all missed me dearly while I was gone, lol.

    Good news, the amtrak kiosk now has upgraded capability! They can reboot it from wherever they sit in the office and monitor from... I think it's Colorado.

    That made me laugh and brought back memories Guy. There is a town near me called RedCliff, and at my divorce party (lol) they played that song and everyone at the party sang "All my ex's live in RedCliff"... so now every time I hear that song I can't even think "Texas" anymore! LOL!

    Is this the real life,
    Is this just fantasy?
    Caught in a landslide
    No escape from reality
    Open your eyes
    Look up to the skies and see
    I'm just a poor boy
    I need no sympathy
    Because I'm easy come, easy go,
    Little high, little low
    Any way the wind blows
    Doesn't really matter
    To me, to me

    Mama, just killed a man
    Put a gun against his head
    Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
    Mama, life has just begun
    But now I've gone and thrown it all away
    Mama, oooo
    Didn't mean to make you cry
    If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
    Carry on, carry on
    As if nothing really matters

    Too late, my time has come
    Sends shivers down my spine
    Body's aching all the time
    Goodbye, everybody
    I've got to go
    Got to leave you all behind and face the truth
    Mama, oooo
    I don't want to die
    I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all-(Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters)

    I see a little silhouetto of a man
    Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
    THUNDER BOLT AND LIGHTNING, VERY VERY FRIGHTNING ME!
    Galileo
    Galileo
    Galileo
    Galileo
    Galileo, Figaro - magnifico
    I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
    HE'S JUST A POOR BOY, FROM A POOR FAMILY
    SPARE HIM HIS LIFE FROM THIS MONSTROSOTY
    Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
    Bismillah! NO! WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO!
    LET HIM GO
    Bismillah! WE WILL NOT LET YOU GO!
    LET HIM GO!
    Bismillah! We WILL NOT LET YOU GO!
    LET HIM GO!
    Will not let you go
    Let me go
    Will not let you go
    Let me go
    (never, never)
    OHOHOHOH
    NO, NO, NO, NO, NO
    Oh, mama mia, mama mia
    MAMA MIA LET ME GO
    Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me!
    FOR ME!
    For me...

    So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye!
    So you think you can love me and leave me to die
    Ooh, baby
    Can't do this to me baby
    Just got to get out
    Just got to get right out of here

    Oh yeah, oh yeah
    Nothing really matters
    Anyone can see
    Nothing really matters
    Nothing really matters
    To me

    (Anyway the wind blows)
