A few things I learned this week:
- There are still people in the world who use dial-up for their internet access. Of those people, there’s at least one dude out there who doesn’t realize he can’t dial in to AOL while he’s on the phone with someone.
- Smiley face stickers can only elicit good behavior from a four year-old for a maximum of two days.
- The worst punishment my daughter can dream up for me at the moment is jail time. And even though she has admitted she would miss me if I did go to jail, she still can’t help but wish for me to go there when she’s really angry with me.
- My father-in-law wants to get his Christmas shopping done before his wife has surgery in December. I asked Nathan to just tell him I want an Amazon gift certificate, but we’re both thinking the man will have as much difficulty fulfilling that request as he would had I said I wanted a Fabergé egg.
- The Twilight books are just a teensy bit overrated. Of course that didn’t stop me from devouring Breaking Dawn in four days.
- I am the type of person who believes stories that involve vampires should not have happy endings.
- It is all too easy to misdiagnose a physical disability as a really crappy phone connection.
- After eight years, I’m actually starting to like my job. Of course that’s not stopping me from counting down the months until I can get the hell out of there.
- This flu epidemic (pandemic?) just keeps getting scarier and scarier. Several of my co-workers have been home with sick kids, one of whom has been diagnosed with H1N1.
- I am way more excited about the holidays this year than I have been in years past. And the reasons have absolutely nothing to do with Christmas or the New Year but rather with what we’ll be doing with the time in between.

I liked Twilight too, but yeah, overrated. And also, there are so many people sick in our area right now! Have you seen all the school closings and stuff? It’s crazy right now.

Every day this week we’ve been short at least one person who’s been sick herself or home with a sick kid. Thankfully there’s only been one case of the flu so far at Autumn’s school (not H1N1). We keep washing our hands like crazy, but I’m just waiting for something to hit our house.
I started with dial-up back in 1997 when I had my first desktop. Fortunately for me, I was in the trial for cable soon after that. But when I was in the Philippines a few years back, I was using dial-up because the office was not hooked up with cable or ADSL. Come to think of that, I was just grateful to be able to go online then.
About the H1N1, it can be pretty worrying especially now it has gone into the community phase over my place here where it exists just like a common flu. And it is a type of flu except that current medication may not work so well. The best thing we can do is to keep our immune system high up with proper rest, personal hygiene, lots of water, fruits and vegetables.

I haven’t been getting your updates in my feed reader! Eeek! Now I’m starting to remember why I quit using a feed reader…
The Twilight books were overrated, but I enjoyed them. The last one (Breaking Dawn?) drove me nuts. I had it all figured out way early and I was tired of waiting for it to happen.
Finally….SQUEEEEE! You know why.
