Comments: Read the obits today and noticed that Edna Chadwell, 84, of Arizona passed away. While that name may not ring any bells, I'm sure the "Chicken Ranch" does. Ms. Edna was the owner of the famed brothel in LaGrange. She started working there in 1952, became manager a couple of years later, and bought the place in 1963. It was shut down in 1973 and she moved to Arizona. Her nephew said that she wanted to ghostwrite a book to set the record straight, but she couldn't until everyone had died. What a pity. I bet she had some stories to tell.
Comments: Just watched video of Prison work that Ben is involved. What a great service! He will be a great teacher and motivator.
Comments: So that's why yesterday was so strange! And I thought it was just because I forgot to take my drugs yesterday morning. I had a doctor's appt and needed to "fast". In doing so, not only did I not eat, but I forgot to take my "calming" meds. Luckily I didn't experience road rage on the way home. Today is much better. I haven't seen anything about Mary McCord Bach recently. How is she doing?
Comments: I can no longer leap. I just walked through and survived the day. Long Day..Glad when it was over.. G..
Comments: You can hop???
Comments: Bill, I move we change it to Hop Year.
Comments: I'm not sure I can still leap!
Comments: HAVE A GREAT LEAP DAY!
Comments: Happy Leap Day!! Great question, Charlotte. BTW, Publisher's Clearing House failed to show up at our house today, so I'd like to apologize to all my old friends for threatening to trade them for new ones. 
Comments: Do we have any leap year birthday babies our class? If so, what date do you usually celebrate your birthday?
Comments: Well, I should turn in early tonight so when Publisher's Clearing House rings my doorbell Feb. 29 with that big check I'll be all bright-eyed. Oh, and I'll probably be looking for all new friends. 
Comments: Let me clarify .....Ben is not actually in the video....it is a video of the program that he volunteers his time for...sorry if I miss led you.
Comments: Thought y'all might like to know what Ben (Skipper)Morris is doing these days in retirement. He is mentoring and making a difference in this world. Watch this 3 minute video and be proud of a fellow classmate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcuFknerurk&feature=youtu.be EEK....Hope they don't keep him in there!!
Comments: The Awards went off without a 'glitch'. They've had a lot of 'boo-boo's' in the past. The "Artist" took more than it should have, I thought or they need to bring back a 'silent film' category. I like Billy Crystal. He's always funny. Where was Woody Allen..? Meryl's always good.. I stayed awake for the whole thing.
Comments: I was so disappointed in the Academy Awards tonight. I wanted Geroge Clooney to win Best Actor. I love Merril Streep, but I was pulling for the girl who played Marilyn Monroe.
Comments: Jammies..that's what I'm wearing.. I made 21 Tamales...today. First Time and they're good. I only have 8 left right now, but I gave 7 away..so I didn't eat all those..  I might go to sleep..It lasts so..long.
Comments: How nice to hear that Charlotte's husband is in the finals. You go, Cowboy! So who's everyone wearing to the Academy Awards tonight? I'm wearing Target.
Comments: Clorox wipes don't smell like bleach. They smell good. I use them too. Now they make so much anti bacterial stuff you can use a myriad of things. However, the antibacterial wipes do not clean, they sterilize...there is a difference so I've read. Yes, Terry is in the Finals tomorrow at the Houston Rodeo Cutting Competition. Hooray! I hope he can cowboy up and do well. This class is novice horses and non pro riders. T is riding his young gelding.
Comments: Charlotte doesn't like to brag ..but her hubby Terry made the finals of non-pro cutting horse finals!I rhink it';s cool!
Comments: Ginger, I think you did the smart thing by keeping that handy in your classroom. I know someone who's a frequent traveler, and he carries Clorox Wipes to wipe down every surface around him on a plane. I'll bet he smells up the place, but not as badly as some fliers do!
Comments: bleach kills anything.... Could carry a small container of spray..Lysol. I knew a school secretary that left a bottle of alcohol by the toilet.. I haven't explored whether alcohol kills everything or not.. I'd go in after something 'expensive' too.. Hands can be washed, you know. Teach kindergarten for several years. Live in a classroom with 15-30 kids with snotty noses and 'everything else'... Kept diluted Lysol Spray and a bottle of bleach in my classroom at all times. One time, we had an outbreak of Hepatitis, in our school. They gave everybody a bottle of disinfectant..in the school..except me. I asked them 'why'. They said you keep that in your classroom all the time.. That was when I had 500 + kids going through my classroom every 3 days.. You bet I kept that stuff in my classroom..! 
Comments: Hey, JS, I followed the five-second rule. Guess this means you don't want to borrow my sunglasses either.
Comments: Note to Self: don't be shakin' hands with Lynell.
Comments: You all have reminded me of the time I dropped a new pair of expensive prescription sunglasses into the toilet at Mama's Daughters Diner on Irving Blvd. No gloves, nothing but a bare hand. Yes, I went in after them! And I washed both my glasses and my hands at the sink for a good 20 minutes!  
Comments: John, that is just too great! At least it was in a fold and not in the poop! haaaa! I just saw that there is a show called "Basketball Wives" and it is going into it's 4th season.puleeeeez..I've never heard of that show...but what is next? Oh yeah..I forgot about the Dallas Show about rich and rabbid Texas women...sigh! No wonder I never watch regular channels...just news channel, sports and cable movies for me.
Comments: There is a Houston-based organization that helps folks find their lost jewelry by hooking them up with volunteer metal detectorists. Today I got a report from them on a unique "find" where a lost diamond ring turned up in a baby's diaper! Here is a link to the messy story which unfolded this week in Crosby, Texas: http://www.lostmystuff.net/success_stories.php
Comments: Our bank has never e-mailed us, but AT&T emails daily to ask for our password. A couple of times, our fave banker has e-mailed to send photos of her dogs. The Internet continues to be a scary place.
Comments: I receive offers from my bank for special activities etc via emails from time to time. But these stoopid ones imploring me to click the link and refile my info are ridiculous...I wonder how many people fall victim? I always report them.
Comments: I have received several of these over the past few months and have forwarded them to my bank's fraud unit (I'm guessing that every bank has one these days). I did get a response that they had tracked the sender of one of them down and the police had arrested them.
Comments: Charlotte, I have received emails from my bank many times. When I contacted the bank, I was told that customers are never notified by email. The emails had the bank's emblem stamped on them and they looked official, but they aren't |
