the girl in the movie takes psych meds for various reasons. Anyway, she takes her pill bottle out of the medicine cabinet and there is a close-up of her pill bottle and it says "Klonapin." I felt like I was work QA'ing a report! I said "hey, they spelled that wrong." My son just rolled his eyes and said "mom, it's a movie..."
Just thought I would share how I can never seem to get away from work!

How did they find out he was going to her prom
in the first place?? I would've went & just not told them... I'm sure he can fight it and get his diploma if he's completed his academics though.
Any suggestion for after-prom b'fast menu?
My youngest son is a h.s. senior. He has been dating a girl in his class for a year. My older son has also dating a girl in this senior class for 2 years, so I've gotten to know this group of kids and their friends pretty well since they tend to hang at our house.
The kids are talking about coming back to our house with their friends after the prom. We have a big screen t.v./theater setup. They want to watch a movie, and I promised to make them breakfast in the middle of the night. I'm very happy to do this, since around here, the kids like to drive to the NJ shore after the prom, and that is not something I encourage.
So, I'm just sort of thinking about this breakfast, which is months away. I'm looking for interesting ideas to make their after prom gathering special, even if it is a simple back-at-the-house thing. I can do the usual things, but I'm looking for something that might really make the kids smile.
regarding the prom for little kids in the previous post: Yup, they have one. It's called a (sm)
semi-formal. Eighth grade. Some girls are spending upwards of a couple/three hundred dollars on a dress (not counting shoes, jewelry, makeup, hair accessories), parents renting them limos, etc. You wanna talk excess???? This is just ridiculous!!!
Ohio Christian school tells student to skip prom
FINDLAY, Ohio – A student at a fundamentalist Baptist school that forbids dancing, rock music, hand-holding and kissing will be suspended if he takes his girlfriend to her public high school prom, his principal said.
Despite the warning, 17-year-old Tyler Frost, who has never been to a dance before, said he plans to attend Findlay High School's prom Saturday.
Frost, a senior at Heritage Christian School in northwest Ohio, agreed to the school's rules when he signed a statement of cooperation at the beginning of the year, principal Tim England said.
The teen, who is scheduled to receive his diploma May 24, would be suspended from classes and receive an "incomplete" on remaining assignments, England said. Frost also would not be permitted to attend graduation but would get a diploma once he completes final exams. If Frost is involved with alcohol or sex at the prom, he will be expelled, England said.
Frost's stepfather Stephan Johnson said the school's rules should not apply outside the classroom.
"He deserves to wear that cap and gown," Johnson said.
Frost said he thought he had handled the situation properly. Findlay requires students from other schools attending the prom to get a signature from their principal, which Frost did.
"I expected a short lecture about making the right decisions and not doing something stupid," Frost said. "I thought I would get his signature and that would be the end."
England acknowledged signing the form but warned Frost there would be consequences if he attended the dance. England then took the issue to a school committee made up of church members, who decided to threaten Frost with suspension.
"In life, we constantly make decisions whether we are going to please self or please God. (Frost) chose one path, and the school committee chose the other," England said.
The handbook for the 84-student Christian school says rock music "is part of the counterculture which seeks to implant seeds of rebellion in young people's hearts and minds."
England said Frost's family should not be surprised by the school's position.
"For the parents to claim any injustice regarding this issue is at best forgetful and at worst disingenuous," he said. "It is our hope that the student and his parents will abide by the policies they have already agreed to."
The principal at Findlay High School, whose graduates include Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, said he respects, but does not agree with, Heritage Christian School's view of prom.
"I don't see (dancing and rock music) as immoral acts," Craig Kupferberg said.
When you have friends - it's good. But when you don't have friends it's
REALLY GOOD!!!
I swear, I have this one friend who just gets mad at me stupid stuff. I told her a few weeks ago that I could probably go out this sat. but now I can't make it (just dinner). So, I emailed her and told her I can't go. She's upset. Thinks I should not have made plans in the first place. Well, things come up.
Why are people (women) so catty? Immature?
Are there any women out there who can: Forgive, understand, not get offended because I am not perfect? If so, I'd like to meet you. I highly doubt she exists though.
And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
It is next weekend...nm

weekend
Decorate graves Saturday, daughter's wedding reception Sunday, take it easy day Monday.
Weekend
Luckily I'm off weekends. We went to an early dinner with friends yesterday, and I spent the rest of the day reading for once in I don't know how many years. Also went to the mall. Today we went to church came home and one of the teenage boys in the neighorhood had an Easter egg hunt for the little kids in the neighborhood. Tonight a friend came over the we watched the latest James Bond movie. Now it's off to bed for a busy 4 days of work next week. I'm off Good Friday. I hope everyone has a good week.
What I did this weekend
I worked Sat a.m., then had hair cut - mine was looking like something could have been living in it. Then it was grocery shopping and came home, cleaned and discussed about whether or not we'd move and where to and watched a movie. Sunday got up piddled around, DH got up and we again talked about where and if we were going to move (the talks usually last about 2 - 3 hours), then we boxed up some stuff, made dinner, talked more about moving, watched a movie, talked more about moving and I went to bed exhausted as it was another weekend (this has been going on for about a year now) of not coming to decisions. It isn't really that great when the town you live in more and more people are leaving (where they went I don't know but it's local cos every once inwhile they drive by), but more and more houses are being foreclosed, we hear of families moving in with other family members, schools laying off, all libraries have shut down, crime is rising, no employment here and none anywhere else. We've done so many long distance moves and they never worked out (at least for the first couple of months). Then we listened to the bully kid next door blasting his music. DH is going through mid-life crisis I think. It was just an exhausting weekend.
Misha's weekend
I don't have much new to report about Misha, except that we did get out and go to PetsMart and she enjoyed more attention than usual from two-footed admirers of all sizes. My new prednisone dosing technique seemed to work - no crashing. She wouldn't eat out of a dog bowl, but she would suck canned food- Blue Buffalo lamb recipe - off my fingers, which was quite endearing. Sasha watched me hand-feed Misha and wouldn't touch her bowl until I had hand-fed HER 3 bites too. So I'm creating two monsters, but it felt pretty good at the time. I also got her to eat some Jumbone-type treats also, so at least she's not going to starve. :o}
Plans for the weekend?
Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend? We have no big plans...may do some clothes shopping for the kids if I feel like it.
Weekend Plans
It's my husband's birthday Saturday so we're going out to dinner with friends. It's supposed to be a hot weekend so we'll spend much of the time in the pool with our daughters. We also usually have bonfires on the weekends with the neighbors/friends and/or a cookout since the weather is so beautiful.
My weekend plan:
It's pretty self-explanatory. Buy a nice seedless watermelon, insert funnel and pour in oodles of liquor of choice...vodka, schnapps, rum, etc. (You'd be amazed at how much booze these things can drink!) Let sit overnight in your fridge if you can stand to wait that long, cut up and serve or drill holes into melon and give your best bud a straw and watch the magic happen. See you in rehab.
Attending our first this weekend sm
since I was a little girl. We live in VA but are just across the state line from WV which is where I grew up. My DD is in her first horse show there this weekend. It is about 1 1/2 away. I am a nervous wreck for her already.
Around here Labor Day weekend
xx
Weekend coming. What is everyone doing?

Weekend Plans
Saturday we're going to the Zoo. One of the elephants is having a 40th birthday party celebration there. And Sunday the family's driving about an hour away to go visit my parents.
Just got in from Las Vegas so the weekend
should be a little less active.
Weekend plans
We're going to finish school shopping and then on Sunday we're going back to the NYS Fair to see the American Idol concert and Monday probably a cookout with our friends.
The weekend after Thanksgiving
We go out and get the tree and decorate the inside of the house.
Saw some like those at the Bass Pro this weekend nm

So, what's everybody got planned for the weekend?
I'll be working Saturday and Sunday, but I might have a few extra minutes to go to the fabric store. I'm going to try to finish a few UFOs (unfinished objects - sewing). And, I'll be stopping in here, of course. So, what's everybody else doing? 
Memorial Day weekend
So what fun things do you guys have planned for the long weekend?  
I have to work.  
So, so sad. Especially Father's Day weekend.
He will be so terribly missed, especially during the election coverage. I will remember him with the white board and writing all over it. I always enjoyed watching him. He sure knew his stuff. Way too young.
Girls weekend? I'm in....
Those are the best. A new place each time. What fun that would be!
Yep, my weekend to work...
Put in 10 hours yesterday and 8 today. Not as tired as I thought I'd be, but getting there.
What about a weekend in the mountains?
You can usually rent cabins pretty cheap and you could give them a gift card for a nearby restaurant. Usually if you let the cabin rental place know it's their anniversary they'll throw in some extras. That way they could go hiking and what not since you said they were active.
Thank you - we will be out shopping this weekend - nm

I give up. weekend yet? NM

techno weekend
Totally techno day today. Got MP3 for Vday - not fancy or anything and never really something I knew I wanted, but spent the morning downloading and LOVE IT Will mostly use when walking the dogs. Anyone have any ideas on best way to buy music? I got a Rhapsody CD with a free month. Do I need it? I actually like offbeat stuff, movie soundtracks or old stuff like Jackson Browne. Running on Empty was my first download and Christian Automobile by the Dixie Hummingbirds my second, so very eclectic taste.
Secondly, anyone attempt to use the new TV converter boxes? I apparently bought the exact opposite of what I needed (dig to analog instead of other way round) and used the $40 coupons, so that will be a fun return/refund. We have never not had cable/DISH, but my husband had a fight with a phone cust rep in another country shall we say and got mad and discontinued service. This was a month ago and after a short withdrawal period we find we love not having so many choices. Who knew?
I had the same thing the night before...last night though (sm)
made teriyaki chicken and macaroni and cheese from a box. Tonight is chicken and rice. Tomorrow night is leftover teriyaki chicken :-)
I will not work on Thanksgiving day, but over that weekend -sm
when I choose to work. I will have 90 minutes of work to get done by Monday; so will probably just do 30 minutes each morning and still the day free for the most part. As for Christmas, I am probably have to work on Christmas day but only because I will not have had time to do my work before then. I will only take 60 minutes for that weekend but won't have much time to do it until Christmas night, so that will be interesting. I am going to try to do it Friday night/early Saturday morning of the weekend so I will not have to work Christmas night. It will make me more tired but I'd rather be tired than have to work the night I get back after driving 200 miles. But I don't have to work on the holiday. We are off when the hospital is off, which follows state mandates, so we get all the major holidays.
There is a funeral in our area this weekend for ...
a soldier killed in Iraq and just found out those wonderful people from Kansas are planning to attend. 
Maybe a day at a spa just for her and her friend, or maybe a weekend getaway for
s
My dream would be a weekend of him helping (sm)
When he and I and the kids all work on getting everything back in order. But he would be angry the whole time, as if he shouldn't have to be doing it. I may end up hiring someone. I have thought about it all day. It would be worth it!
First time in 9 years that I have a 4-day weekend...
And I plan on doing NOTHING! Happy Labor Day!
My kids homecoming is this weekend
just depends on the football schedule. They play 10 games each season and this is the next to last home game. Next one isn't until the end of October. Our first game was in August.
This past weekend my neice was
leaving school (this is her freshman year) to come home for the weekend. Her car wouldn't start. She certainly could have called her RA for suggestions or even called campus securtiy but due to no experience with something like this she caught a ride with a friend that lives in our area. Her mother and a friend took her back to school yesterday with jumper cables (turns out the battery was dead cause she had left a light on) and a few lessons about her car. They showed her how to use the cables, check air pressure in tires, check oil, washer fluid, etc. Both my kids are still home so these are things I had never thought of and obviously my SIL hadn't either. A lot of these things I still don't know. I lived with my parents until the day I married so I have always had someone to take care of these things for me. I just wanted to pass along this tip for anyone else like me that just never thought about it before. I guess we all live and learn.
I was going to post the same thing last weekend!
It's really the perfect time too because, in my neck of the country anyhow, the weather is cool to cold and everything stays chilled (including the fridge) when spread all over the countertops.
I had an entire trashbag full of stuff... and I'm pretty diligent about throwing things away timely (small fridge).
I had to do all my prep/cooking for the most part some things before today becaues I work through Saturday, including TK, so an empty fridge was a necessity.
The next day, my daughter remarked on how *bright* the refriger was... umm.. yeah, there's nothing blocking the light now!
Well, it's pretty packed now and because of a stuffing blunder (spilled in too much sage --- forgot the shaker top was off), I have THREE pans of stuffing (had to add more corn bread to even things out) which have maxed out the capacity completely.
...hope I can squeeze in a few Bud lights ;-)
Gym membership? A massage? Weekend away for
s
OMG! - we rented this last weekend and rolled
off the couch laughing - even my husband was snort laughing!! too funny!
I plan on going there this coming weekend!
I LOVE Yankee candle! I have candles from there all over my house! I haven't had a chance to check out the newer scents yet, but my all time favorite summer scents are Storm Watch, Cottage Breeze, Sand and Sun, and Midnight Cove. I'm sure there are a lot more that I love, but I just can't remember all of the names right now! I have Chocolate Chip Cookie burning in my office right now and Macintosh Apple in my living room.
Just got back from a 4-day weekend in Gatlinburg.
Chalet was great. Close enough to Pigeon Forge to go shopping or just drive through the park. Cades Cove was beautiful.
Was thinking the same thing this weekend..
It would just kinda push everything around and gunk it up, etc - and that was with sweeping beforehand! I also wondered if I was using too much solution.
Also working all weekend and today, but...
just got back from a wonderful service at our town's war memorial garden where we dedicated a new monument to the town's fall veterans. It was very special! Now...back to work!
I'm a deer widow this weekend SO
I'm cleaning out the closets and going through my husband's drawers. I swear he has underwear that I don't know what in the world they could cover since they are so tattered!
I'd like to clean my desk and under my bed as well but that may have to wait until he's gone again next weekend.
saw Milk this weekend and everyone was bawling.
everyone in the theater was crying.
That is funny, I just bought a set this weekend - sm
the 10 piece of the Chef's Classic Stainless. It is really nice. $149 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Had a 20% off coupon so got it for $120 (and no tax in DE) as I was up visiting with my dad. Some of our T-Fal sauce pans have the teflon flaking off, cannot boil water (turns grey) or cook with them, so had to do something, a pot alone was at least $30 so I just got the set. DH loves it (he is the main cook) and used one of them last night (still in box on kitchen table). But seem to be good quality, heavy SS. Compared them to the more expensive brands and they seemed to be equal, same quality SS too, and just as thick and heavy. Lots of sales out there, I looked at B, B, and B, Target, Macy's, JC Penneys before I bought these. I also like some from Paula Dean as well. I did not want to spend over $150 for a set so I was a bit limited, but think I got a good deal and set of pots for the money.
I am on my way to Phoenix AZ for the weekend, cant wait for sun and heat
Was it a good movie? I hope to go this weekend. nm
