The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

[LorraineRN]

My son's 32 gig I-POD was stolen at school the other day. He just got it for Christmas. Evidently he had it in his pants pocket while dressed out for PE and he along with everyone else had their clothes laying around the locker room and someone went in there and went through everyone's pockets. (They don't have lockers since Katrina took that part of the locker room). The other kids had cell phones and money stolen. My son is devastated; he had "thousands of songs on there". The school says there is nothing they can do. I had no idea he was bringing it to school. Any ideas on what I can do if anything?

Well, I have had things in the locker room stolen!
Ok, first make sure your kid isn't distressed. Secondly, partly the school can't do anything because it was one of their students. Now, what the school can do is find the perpetrator.

Good Luck!

My son is good. I don't think the school is doing anything in order to find the perpetrator. I will go talk to them again about it; thanks!

That being in a major ice storm sucked, but far worse was being without electric for almost 6 days.

I think I want to sell my house. It's too big, and I hate cleaning and heating it. I think downsizing is in order.....

JTIS...

I'm into seven schools. Although they are all backup options, I'm satisfied anyway. One school (Sweet Briar College in Virginia) gave me a half scholarship for riding (horses).... I would never go there because its not that academically stimulating and its all girls, but it IS the best riding school in the country....

And now for today's "Thought of the Day" -

There's two types of people: Those who are doing laundry tonight and have nothing to do; and those who are doing laundry tonight and have nothing to do but also have some guy or girl thinking they're really busy and on-the-move tonight because they just MUST be because they're oh-so-hot and therefore dateworthy... Both are wondering why they don't have a date tonight and why everybody hates them and nobody loves them.

Just thought I'd share some wisdom acquired through the yea- .....yeah okay I probably read it in a book somewhere.

I just deep cleaned my music room. It took approx. 7 hours. I took a few breaks to log onto The Ledge, eat dinner and make a few phone calls. I burned 24 CD's this week with 16 songs on each of them and I have been listening to them as I cleaned.

I washed the walls and the baseboards and cleaned every piece of furniture and knick knack in that room. It now has a fabulous aroma and it sparkles.

Juan R. called while I was deep cleaning asking me to go out on a date tonight. I politely declined so I could stay home and clean.

I can't stand my filthy roommate, which is why I am very excited that I am apartment and catsitting for the week for a friend who's on vacation. However, I can't find the remote, which means that I can't get the tv to work. It's not a big apartment....it has to be here somewhere, right?
