jumpingjacks

Aaaaack, the Huskers are falling apart at the seams!!! We won but only because of a shift in the ball as it went toward the goal posts. Sigh...I love me some Huskers but these games are hard on my nerves.

Was I too subtle?

Rant coming, scroll at will... I hate my job. I hate my superintendent who is making my job a living hell. I hate that I spent all of today on the road looking at an alternative school program that is nothing more than a glorified resource room. I hate that I have to present all the info. and the plans to the school board when I don't even have any kids who either qualify for the program OR are exhibiting behaviors to qualify them. I hate that the superintendent knows JACK SHIT about Special Education and is expecting us to have ALL the plans in place with CHILDREN by Jan. 22. I hate that my superinedent is such a prick that the idea of sitting down and explaining that there are NO children for the program makes me sick to my stomach and my hands sweat. /rant [whine] I want to hear something from Clay. I listened to his song on the Crooner CD about a 100 times already. Funny, I could have done that without buying it. Oh, and Johnny Mathis sounds like he's hyped up on helium. [/whine] Happy birthday and anniversary to all celebrating. Sorry...just had to get that off my chest.

Does anyone else think it looks like he's kind of squishing the boys in an attempt to maybe scratch an itch? Just me?

I like the tall boy on Top Chef...especially at the beginning when he has to bend down to be seen in the "credits". CMSU every single time.

You know what I really love about him coaching this football team? I think he lost his passion for coaching when he was in the NFL. I think he took this job to see if he could get it back and that is what I saw those first couple of seasons. Now I watch him and I can see that he loves it again and he loves those young men and they love and respect him. I dunno, I know it's weird to say but I'd rather see that than the winning every game 75-3. Completely agree. The games were fun to watch when we were a powerhouse but there was never any nail biting or come from behind excitement. We went, we beat the shit out of people and we left. I knew our chances were iffy with USC...I just hope we can step up to the challenge of the Big 12 and have a good showing. Honestly, I really don't want to play Texas or Oklahoma this year!!!

I'll be in Omaha, I think, if I can find a way to leave work early...*coughhackcoughhack*. I am in row CC seat 104.

Ya know...that "fumble" whateverthefuckitwas was the turning point in the game. I've never seen a team go from being on top of the world to dead LAST in that short period of time. I could understand it if it were our team members who were hurt but...shit...it was freaking embarrassing. I love Callahan...I think he's got the right idea...the kids just don't seem to know how to step up in the big games. I don't think they believe they can win.

Alice, it was waaaaaay before the Nashville JNT, too! :F_05BL17blowkiss: IT and NAT...yeppers.

Osmosis works. Perhaps my view is a bit jaded because of two "meetings" where I wanted to kill both people before the weekend was over. Not.good. I believe the words I would use would be co-dependent and mothering. Neither of those work well for me. Been on my own WAY too long to want someone try to coddle me. *shudder* This, by the way, was way before the Cary concert this summer.

I don't consider anyone who goes to more than one show OTT. OTT, to me, are the people at any board who can not see anything except they are right and the rest of us are wrong. OTT have a way of smashing your face into the fact that THEY are in the inner circle of Clay's friends even when WE know that is a complete and utter fabrication. OTT fans are those who create freaking drama just to draw attention to themselves. OTT is the person who was spreading vicious rumors about Clay behind the scenes and wanted ME to support her bullshit. When I said no, she told everyone I was the one who started the rumors!! WTF is that? Of course, she blames it on other things now, but the fact of the matter is, she would have willingly hung me out to dry if it had saved her place in the fandom. No one here is OTT in my book. It appears we are level-headed, smart women who may be just a bit wary of the Clay Nation at this point. I could do a double back flip hand stand but then I'd have to be in the hospital for the rest of my life...choices, choices!!!

Ah yes....bread glorious bread...that would be my "chocolate", too. *lickingpeanutbutterandjellyoffherwhitebreadtoast* Please, please let this post get me off the "dog walker" status!!!

Milk chocolate is the only way to go. That dark stuff is not even palatable to me. I am a newbie...big time newbie...I came from Clayversity but I can guarantee you, very few people from there know much about me. I have a bit of a connection with a couple of ladies because they are from Nebraska, not because we are posting buddies from CV. I've never met either of them in real life and our board conversations consist of a few yeah that posts and some PM's. I come to this fandom from a really different point of view, I think. I have not developed deep abiding friendships with other posters. The one time I allowed that to happen, I was kicked and spit on. I decided after that that my fandom would take a different route. I keep up on all things Clay but I remove myself from a lot of the tension and angst because, to me, it is all stupid. I did enter into the fray at OFC because, as dumb as I can be sometimes, I thought logic would prevail! Bwahaha...what a huge jump for me to make! Silly rabbit. I don't plan road trips or concert trips with other fans...most times I go by myself, which is fine. I did meet some "board friends" at Cary this year...I'm not sure we will meet again...it was fun but they live clear across the country. It isn't really conducive to BFF territory, ya know? I dunno...I guess part of it is I think the OTT stuff embarrasses me and I don't want to be connected with it in any way. I can't, for the life of me, afford to spend the kind of money some of the OTT people spend...it has to be a shitload!!! If I get to go to one concert, I'm happy...but...that's just me. Those who can afford to go to more and want to go...more power to them. I am pretty much a loner by choice, I think. I'm not a squeeing, double back hand flip kind of girl. I love Clay to death but I don't have every picture or every piece of clack. I don't care if he decides to tour with Kim, Ruben or Pink....I'd go. I don't care if he decides to do a country cd or a Christian cd...I'd buy both and love them. If I can get to a concert, great, if I can't, I'll have to live vicariously through those who can. I kind of envy those of you who are so close but, yet, I am so very happy to be just me.

My two cents...neither of these episodes affected me so that I think Clay is a jerk or Kim is to blame....it was a screw up and, had the fans kept their damned noses out of it, it probably would have disappeared as quickly as it appeared. It seems immature to me but, they are both at least 20 years younger than I am...yeah, they probably are a little immature. I think they both reacted out of maybe shock...a bit of anger...and, truthfully, I thought Clay's second blog was directed toward the fans. That's what I thought he was pissy about.

Ok, every time I try to get tickets to the Omaha concert, it says they aren't on sale yet...are you guys getting tickets through a symphony season ticket thing or am I getting screwed up info?

My head hurts. This stuff is giving me a headache. I'm sick of it, I tell you...sick!

here's one for ya...lime jello, mixed with cottage cheese!!! My mother made it every freaking holiday...it just sat there on the plate and kind of shimmied back and forth. Nuh-uh, no.

Where did she post that? Gee, 2 months, it couldn't be because he had said NO could it...or perhaps because he'd been on the road that whole time. I like Kim, always have, but this...just no. She sounds like a petulant child. OOOOOH.....Top of the page....ooooh, ahhhh, ooooh, ahhhh....

Oooh, the EW blurb...I remember getting smacked around pretty darned good because one of the "chosen" had an inside source (Roger) who said it was true and I questioned her...not because it mattered but because of the "I can't tell you who but I have it on good authority" crap... That crap drives me NUTS. Put up or SHUT UP...I don't want to hear about your "inside sources who can not be named"...what a load of hooey. I did hear she is sleeping with Clay now so, hey, that's all good.

Dammit...did I miss Top Chef tonight? I love that show! XXX, good to see you here...I always thought we would get on well but never felt like I could break in over there. I saw that your post was edited for tone...at least they left some of it...most of mine completely disappear! playbiller, I am like you when it comes to my fandom...sometimes I think I'm too logical to post on the boards. I always end up in trouble when I comment about something not making sense... Oh well...

I'm not German but the sugar sandwich thing was YOOOGE at my house. I am Irish/Norwegian.

I'm originally from South Dakota...I thought we were the only ones who put salt on fruit...grapefruit is another one that I use salt on...along with apples and watermelon.

Johnny cake and syrup? Oh yeah...that is some kind of yummy. Oh, it's actually cornbread...I grew up knowing it as Johnny cake, though. Ok, here's another one...creamed style corn soup...dip buttered bread in it. *shudder* What can I say, we were a large Catholic family and it went a long ways. Blech.

A very north northerner here...chitlins...NO...grits...anything that tastes the same as it's name is not gonna find it's way to my mouth...now...cinnamon toast I can get behind..or the ever bread-stretching sandwich...sugar and butter.....lived on those as a kid. I suppose the idea of tuna/noodle hotdish (I believe they are called casseroles in other parts of the country) is wretch worthy?
