I remeber during a choir concert while in junior high

In Reply to: Really? I graduated in 85 too & never heard it until recent years! (sm) - NCMT
our director (she was one of the coolest teachers) forgot to turn on a microphone and when she came on stage to turn it on she said. The kids went wild. It is funny though, it seems like I stopped hearing it for a while (guess when my kids were younger) but now I hear it all the time.

Some women never move on from junior high.
I cannot deal with drama queens, so I have only about three close female friends. I have lots of male friends, though, and I love it. Much less maintenance.
Need $3-$5 gift ideas for junior high age kids
I know it's not much to spend, but I didn't make the rules about this gift exchange. Need something that would work for boys and girls. I was hoping to be a little more creative than Mickey D's certificates. Thanks for the ideas. It's greatly appreciated. :>)
Middle school/junior high was the WORST 3 years

I remeber hearing it in 1982. Started way before then. nm

You're preachin' to the choir!
TOTALLY AGREE! HA!
A child's prayer request from our kid's choir last night....sm
Matthew, age 6, during our children's choir prayer time last night asked for us to pray for his dad, who was just arrested. When I told him that hopefully his dad would get out of jail soon as I'm sure he missed him, his response was "I don't think so. My dad goes to jail a lot." He wasn't sad when he said this - just said it matter-of-factly. All I could do was tell him that he's not the only child who has a parent in jail and that we'd pray for both of them and his mom.
I cannot shut up *LOL* - JUNIOR's restaurant..sm
which is ON Flatbush Avenue when you first get into BKLYN.....it's on the right going towards Prospect Park - it's been there for 50+ years and has some of the best food in NY......Junior's......(remembering all kinds of cheesecake....*lol*).....
I have heard of a junior pastor
coming in and stealing all the cash offerings and it went on for years, so anything is possible.
A pastor is a servant. Does this behavior sound servant-like?
Junior clothing size conversion..
How do you determine what size a junior 15 would be in misses? How do you convert that? Just trying to get an idea.
Thanks!
Paul in concert
I saw Paul in 2005 too in Philly; I agree it was spectacular! I went with my husband, but called the kids at home from my cell so they could sing along! I have 4 girls ranging in age from 17 to 5 and they know the Beatles songs. That is so cool your daughter loved it. I wished I had brought mine too.
Concert tickets!
Just got my DH and his sister (share the same bday)tickets to a blues festival. They were thrilled.
Going to STRAIT concert
For our anniversary, daughter just gave us confirmation, she will "limo" us there and back. March 29 Our anniversay March 10.....I think it is out 45th, I don't know I was off last year by a year or so....
Love Daughtry - I'm going to see him in concert on 12/11 - NM

I went to HS w/Valerie Bertinelli. I was at the Van Halen concert
He was a stinkin drunk then, but his brother, Alex was way, way worse. We were probably 19, 20 years old and a group of us girls got together to go to the concert at Hirsch Coliseum and then a few of us got to go backstage, ONLY because of Valerie of course, but it was fun. David Lee Roth was an off the charts type A kind of guy and he actually hit on Valerie, but she an Ed ended up together. I wish Ed could have gotten control of his drinking habit, also his chain smoking. Later in life, he ended up with cancer of the tongue and had a chunk of it removed. After they got divorced, Ed's drinking got worse and there are pics of him looking like a street urchin. The last I heard, Van Halen was going on tour and Wolfgang (Wolfie), Ed and Valerie's son was replacing Michael Anthony as bass player. I have to honestly say, I'm worried about their son getting into drinking and drugs.
oops, supposed to be concert tickets nm :)

What is a STRAIT concert? And how do you not know how long you've been married? nm

Anybody pop their knuckles? Is it really harmful? I pop my knuckles like a concert pianist... SM
several times a day while at my keyboard. I've been told it will make my knuckles big and give me arthritis. I've been doing it for years and my knuckles aren't any bigger. I do notice my hands seem to get stiffer as I gotten older and require me popping them more often.
I was just wondering if anyone else does this too? I also pop my neck which is probably not good. And my right ankle that I use for my pedal gets stiff and it will pop on its own from time to time. I'm just a walking mess of popping joints, I guess. 
Wow! That's a high
deductible for such a high premium. If she doesn't go to the dentist very often, I would drop that because that would be a waste of money. I have insurance through State Farm and is around $200 a month with a $2,000 deductible. I rarely go to the doctor and have used my insurance once in the past 4 years but it still goes up every 6 months. If I had my way, I wouldn't even have health insurance but hubby insists I have it. If I were you, I would be checking around. Don't know who your insurance company is but I have State Farm and my hubby has American Family. His is pretty comparable rate wise with mine but I don't think he has a deductible. I get a healthy discount with mine since I don't have health problems. Good luck!
High cholesterol
Join the club. I, too, have high cholesterol. I was over 500 last year. I started Weight Watchers in Jan. of 06 and lost 40# pretty quick. I am now down to 20# within goal weight and my cholesterol is 160. I also do oatmeal for breakfast every day, take fish oil pills, garlique, and Cholesterol medication from Dr. I also have been walking (1-4 miles) at least 4 times a week since starting all of this. I feel much better. Last week, though, I had a checkup and I am back up to 358.  I guess you cannot always choose your parents!! lol More meds and more exercise.  
60 does some too high.. I pay 60 for shampoo,

Correction......seem too high
xx
That's kind of on the high end where I am at. Do
you live in an area with a higher cost of living?
That's awesome you've found someone you are happy with though. I'm still searching! :)
Are you guys high?!
So I've got this thingy set up to "alert" me whenever my "handle" comes up or the name of the company I work for--and it shows this wacked thread!
I'd love to see a woman in the White House as well, but definitely not the one currently running. There's something about her that just rubs me. Oh yeah, the fact that she's still married to that dickhead for starters.
I'd vote for Ellen DeGeneres...female, gay (really frost the republicans behinds!)...and most important....A FRIGGIN RIOT! I'd love to believe that the world's problems could be solved with humor. It'd be fun to see her give it a shot though. Jon Stewart would make a great vice president.
If I were president, the White House would have a petting zoo, the rose garden would also have petunias in it, macaroni and cheese would occupy at least 1/4 of the food pyramid. Camp David would be open to the general public. All UFO information would be declassified. Political correctness would be outlawed and greenbud would be legal. Lastly, public schools would have classes on manners, school uniforms, and corporal punishment...but I guess that goes back to my pervy private fantasies again....
High Fever
Have you tried cool compresses along with the Tylenol? Maybe that'll help. I hope she feels better soon. I have a four year old and it's awful when she's sick. Also, does she have any other symptoms. When my older daughter was young she spiked high fevers a lot and they were always viral infections and you just had to wait it out and give Tylenol or Motrin every six hours to break the fever.
high school
You're in the Catskills!.....We raised our boys in the valley, Ravena...next to Coxsackie on the Hudson River...I worked at Albany Med in vasc surg....It's a small world after all.....
High school - sm
We were both in JROTC and I ended up being his information officer one year. That was in 1979. Been together ever since! 
Lower it - 21 is too high
1. Three years is not a huge difference.
2. Most kids are drinking earlier than 21 anyway and nobody is enforcing the law when they get caught drinking under age.
3. It was 18 when I was 18 and there was not a high incidence of drunk driving or whatever reason they have for a drinking age.
4. Germany there is no drinking age and they do not have a high rate of drunk drivers (they have one of the lowest rates of any country).
5. If they are not going to lower the drinking age they should then raise the age of joining the military. Someone tell me that it makes sense that they can't drink til their 21, but at 18 years old in the military they are given guns and can use them.
Some kids will be responsible and some kids won't. I know a lot of people who are in their 20s and 30s and older who are very irresponsible when it comes to drinking - btw, I am 48 years old, not 18, 19, or 20 (and just want the age lowered) :-)
The only sure thing about having a High IQ
is that you can score high on an IQ test. My mother had an IQ of 150 and she was a data entry clerk all of her life.
None of my high schools because sm
I don't have a clue where any of them are, haven't gone to a reunion, although this year is 30 years and I STILL won't go!
My life took a very different track from many of them. I was and am the Earth Mother, vegetarian, animal lover, big family gal and they were money-oriented yuppie types. NOTHING in common.
I recently connected with a friend from elementary school. We were not really friends then, but we are now. The other 2 friends I had from elementary school also went on different paths. One married and had a career, and her real full time job was managing the doofus she married AND the kids they had. The other never married, never had children and has been a bartender for 25 years at a couple of bars her brothers own. Again, nothing in common.
My most enduring and treasured friendship is an MT friend I met online in 2001. We have talked nearly daily since, but have never met in person. We will be spending a week together in June, the plans for which dropped into our laps unexpectedly. We had decided we might never meet face to face and that was okay. She is no less dear. We have used a webcam in recent months and connected that way, which was a gas.
High school...
but we didn't ever date until years later, except the prom. I wasn't interested, but he was persistent and I am sure glad now. He sort of just kept showing up in my life every once in awhile until I realized that he was the sweetest man I would ever meet. (He also got better looking with age, which doesn't hurt.)
I am thinking of doing away with my TV and of course the high
cable bill. Has anyone tried it? There is nothing interesting on TV anymore anyway.
When I was in high school............... sm
pregnant girls were not allowed to even come to school. I think they must have had some kind of home school program or something, but most of the unwed pregnancies in our school happened on the Senior Trip, so they were out of school before they knew.
I agree.....school is a very scary place these days. I have 2 kids in school right now and a very good friend who is a teacher at the same school. Oh, the horror stories she can tell....names omitted, of course.
I'm high-strung myself, but your husband needs SM
to let go of his anger. The more people your children have in their lives who love them, the better.
Old hurts must be let go of. He really needs to be the bigger person about this.
I wish you joy in this holiday season.
high of 25, low of 1 tonight, nebraska!

Our state isn't high on collecting anything....sm
Do you mind telling me what state you live in? I'd like to check and see through their attorney general's office what they actually do to get their money and the money due to the guardian.
My son competed in his high school
state forensics competition this past weekend. I competed in the "impromptu" area. He walks into a room with 2 judges (and other spectators) and is given a paper with 3 catagories and he has to choose 1. He is given 7 minutes from start to finish. He usually takes about 2 minutes to write down some thoughts then he has to give his speech. He does this 3 different times. On the third speech his topics were "Rudy Guliani, Sanjaya ?last name?, and Tubby Smith. My son does not watch AI and is not a big basketball fan. He had to choose RG becuase he had no idea who the other two were. Just thought I would tell this story since I often see posts on this page about AI. BTW, there were about 8 of us in the room and only one person knew who Sanjaya was, and not a single person knew who Tubby was.
high school boyfriend . . .
Emailed me through classmates.com. We talked on the phone a few times. He sent me pictures of reunions that I never went to. Turns out our lives took very similar paths. A few other classmates Emailed as well.
our high school in a suburb of
Pittsburgh received a bomb threat today. Fortunately, it was uneventful. With so much publicity, kids get ideas.
Ratings are at an all-time high since
Rosie joined the show. I don't think she is being pushed out.
That is still a high $ pole - even at the bottom! nm

4-year-old with a very high fever and I
just can't remember what to do to break the fever. The fever is 102.3 now and I have given her a Tylenol chewable tablet this morning and another chewable at 2:00 p.m. Any suggestions...???
My high school boyfriend went on to become a
comic. While he is not famous yet, he has done pretty well and he was on CMT a few weeks ago with a couple of other comedians. So funny you ask this today, my parents are at Grocery Food convention about 7 hours from here and he was actucally the entertainment last night. He goes by Kelly Terranova.
Was that Granada High School in
?
Once to my high school sweetheart and then actually twice
to my husband before we finally got married (broke up one time). Then the story gets a little crazier. My husband and I got married, divorced after almost 2 years of marriage, remarried about 2 months later, stayed married for 7 more years, divorced again, remarried 6 months later, still married. Together almost 30 years now.

To try lamb without the high price,
you might buy the blade chops. The cuts of lamb I've had have been very rich and high in fat, and I highly recommend putting at least rosemary on it. It will smell like something a chef would make.
I went to 2 different high schools and when it came to driving....sm
the 1st high school a lot of the parents gave their kids brand new cars for their 16th birthday and paid for everything. A lot of those kids would wreck their cars and didn't care because they had no true repercussions.
The 2nd high school I went to after we moved was in a more economically depressed area. The kids that did have cars, generally had older used cars, had to work part-time to pay for the expenses of it and rarely got into accidents.
I drove a family car and while I was a senior in high school I took a full load of high school classes, 12 hours of college classes, worked 15 hours a week to pay for gas, insurance, upkeep, and was in marching/concert band, and made straight A's because I was determined to do all of this.
You are a bit high with the "hundreds of thousands."

The reason is high gas prices.
All that stuff is transported by truck... they run on gas...
Did you check out the profits the oil companies made last quarter?
