enders_shadow - 2007-11-30 10:22 AM Hello. My name is Kristen. I have a very short attention span.

Let me guess...grading more papers today?

That obvious, huh? I wish some of these kids would have asked for an extension...what was due was a "substantially complete" draft of a 30 page paper...right now I'm reading a 14 page screed written in half-outline form, half-code (I assume it's probably the same language she uses to IM her friends? I'm so old) that has inappropriate cartoons inserted as filler. I'm losing my mind. I may not be able to wait until after dinner for my wine.

Heh.  Kind of brings back memories...both of my attitude in high school, and from the other side of the fence...as a graduate teaching assistant, I used to have to grade papers as well.  Sometimes I'd get these one sentence responses to essay questions and think 'WHAT???'  I think sometimes the students put ANYTHING down thinking they might get partial credit.  The thing that would kill me is after they got their papers back, they'd come find me and complain that they should've at least gotten partial credit on their answer...uh, no.  Not when they didn't have any IDEA what they were talking about...

Have fun!

D001 - 2007-11-30 9:42 AM Morning! Drive-by posting only. But, um, the morning conversation is no where near as, um, "exciting" as the evening conversation. LOL C'mon guys - you need to take it to another level! OK, back to work. I expect to see several pages of double-entendres by the time I get back.

I tend to run and hide when the conversation gets to 'another level.' But then the 'nibbins' start planning stuff in my behalf when that happens...

Oh, you noticed that, huh? Hm. OK. We'll need to come up with another plan....

LIKE YOU POSTING THE 'ELUSIVE' PIC? How do you get away with it and I not?



Hm. Do I know you?

I get away with much.

You just have to know how to do it. Which reminds me --> Are you going to give us a "going away" pic? I mean, it IS the last day of November. As of midnight, twisnibbins shall cease to exist. After 30 days with us, we'd like something to remember you by.

barqhead - 2007-11-30 8:31 AM I used to live in northern Indiana so imagine my disbelief when they sent kids home from school because of a quarter of an inch snow accumulation!

I lived in Indianapolis 96-99 and IF a storm was expected to drop more than 3" of snow, the day before they would cancel school.

I grew up in the Northern NY snowbelt region, I loved winter as a kid and young adult. But when I had to shovel snow off of the roof of the house I bought with a shallow pitch, I was ready to leave!

8 years of FL bliss (no snow) and loving it. Dee you missed out, should have moved here before '02 when the big boom started. I would move if I had to just so I could take my winning now!



Snow = yuk.

I wish I'd moved to FL before '02, too.

Oh well. Maybe NC will have a boom too.

OK training comments here

Did my core workout last night and did one (pilates DVD) this morning. I have one to go tonight and I'll actually pull this thing off, phew!

My core needs a break...



I biked last night. Afterwards, I realized that I really needed to hit the treadmill instead.

So what happened? Um, well, I got online and then it was 11 PM. And so....

On tap for tonight --> Treadmill run.

But I think I can hit all my goals. Provided I head straight to the gym after work and do NOT play on BT until I'm done. LOL

Twisnibbins never die. Some of us will become Twizzles; some of us will become Nibs. Some of us will become Bins and recycle into other groups. But like starfish sliced by cats (), we will grow back--we will grow strong--WE WILL GROW ....

Could that have been spurred by the rebuilding of Andrew's rath?

Been through many a hurricanes, don't know that I ever want to live in the sub-tropics again for that reason.

BTW GOOD MORNIN' NIBBS.... Well, I'm off to the mtn. for my non-skiing ski meeting.

At least I got coffee

Nope, FL lagged behind the national real estate values when I got here, then it what BANG and went past it.  A lot of it is due to places like the NE where they had they boom earlier, people moved here with lots of $ and drove the prices up while building was lagging, simple supply and demand.   BTW, FL is now in the top 3 in foreclosures and values have dropped at least 10% in the past year.

I love the weather here but dislike the state itself.  It created a Tax class of have and have not's when the morons instituted a 'homestead act' in the early 90's, 3% cap change per year unless you buy a house then its established at current market values.  The taxes on my house were $1500 until my pool was assessed and now its $200.  My neighbors (same house style & square ft) is paying $3200, they bought at the peak of the boom 2 years ago, they just put in a pool, sucks to be them!

I hate getting older...

Thick eyebrows and nose hair are developing, and to top it off ear hair, ugh!  Not to mention I now have to shave everyday and the body fluff is here! 

I couldn't image having this when I was post 18-30 like most of my friends though, I lucked out on the gene front...
