Hey guys, just wanted to give my apologies to EVERYONE regarding my extended absence in posting on the Pod. I'm back now and ready to get moving, it has been a crazy month or so in Special Education land. The county here is INSANE and thinks it is a good idea to have teachers rewrite ALL the education plans for students going from PreKindergarten to Kindergarten within the last month of the school year. And these things ARE LOOOOOONG! I've had one to two meetings every week since the first of May.BUT THEY ARE OFFICIALLY FINISHED. I'm sorry I've been remiss in posting so long, and hopefully I will be making up that time gap now. I've already put in two posts, and there is at least one other character I want to get going again that I should be writing for this afternoon (or early evening). I'm logged onto AIM if you want to send me an IM and scream at me for not being around too, I understand! Hope everyone can forgive me for the time out, and I look forward to getting back to the business of writing in the RPG! -------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Just a heads up guys- I am leaving this afternoon to go to the Biltmore to see the gardens. I am highly doubting I will have internet access for a few days because we're staying up in the mountains; if I do I'll try to pop on. At any rate, we're going home on Saturday, so I should be back posting no later than Monday. I'll try to get back on Sunday since all my lesson plans for the year are now finished.Just wanted to let you know. Looking forward to getting back into things ASAP! -------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Back! If anyone is interested I have some awesome pictures of the mountains and falls on Facebook. Gray, you'd LOVE the hiking opportunities in the Blue Ridge Mountains!Trip Pictures You have to log into Facebook to access the link, unfortunately. I am doing some research to figure out how to do this without logging in, there is supposed to be a way.

Allright, as if having my laptop under repair for a damaged LCD screen in Austin, TX wasn't enough, now my desktop is currently down. Whatever the heck a "unmountable boot volume" error is, I've got it. I've also got a potential way to fix the problem, but I'm short the installation disk that I need for repairs til I can get a hold of my brother and get it from him.So in short I will be AWOL for a bit. Hopefully only a day or so if I can get the desktop running again. Computers. When they work, you love them. When they don't, it's a pain in the butt!!! -------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Just an update:My motherboard on my desktop is fried. I still have no laptop. My brother is supposedly bringing me a backup desktop of his to use in the meantime but I've yet to see it. So Grrr. Sorry about the delay. I have my school laptop to check email but I cannot use it for posting purposes or the like. -------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

My motherboard was ancient as sin. It was shot and most likely caused the damage to the hard drive too. In fact, most of the computer I now am I is BRAND NEW. SHEESH, nothing like almost 300 dollars worth of parts to fix the problem!!! I'm installing updates and getting this thing going right now, should be back in action tomorrow, thankfully.Thanks for hanging in there with me! I'm going to try to install Instant Messenger soon! -------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

OK, now it's MY turn to apologize for being absent for so long! I'm in the middle of getting my house ready to have new flooring put in the front entryway, living room, hallway and various and sundry closets, which has meant a general rearrangement of my entire house. (Cleaning closets and ridding myself of old stuff, washing everything, sanding, priming, painting, ripping out carpet and nasty ancient underlayment, moving furniture all over the place, yadda yadda yadda the list goes on...)ANYWAY. I'm coming around the final curve from the back stretch now; most of the doors are painted as are two of my living room walls. Two more doors to go (one has to be primed, oh goody) and then it's paint the rest of the walls and the hallway, YAY. Then I have to buy new baseboards, and paint them too so they can be installed when the floor comes. Rah again. (Thank you PG for ALL THE MUSCLE and work you've provided me!  ) But-- that's where I've been. The laminate gets delivered NEXT Monday, and installed on the following Thursday-Friday. I should have everything painted and finished by then (let's say I'D BETTER, lol!). Hopefully I'll be back soon. I am SO loving having my living room stuff spread around into the kitchen, the bedrooms, and yes even the bathroom... Oh yeah, Mara: I hope you got your computers up and running! -------------------- I ride the Stormcloud and the Night!

My desktop is up, but I think they must have ordered the parts for my laptop from Tahiti, because I'm still waiting on that. To top it off I will be moving in less than 2 weeks, and the repair place has the apartment addy to send the laptop back. So this should be loads of fun if I don't get the laptop back before I move. Grrr.-------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Just a heads up I think I am moving most of my stuff into the house this weekend. I am going to try to get my cable transferred over there so I don't have any interruption of service, but I don't know if that'll be my luck. I"ll try to keep you all posted if I see that I might be without it a couple of days.-------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Internet status update: I am moving the computer tomorrow, but will be transferring services on Monday between 10 and 12. So I should be without internet less than 48 hours, and back in action (although unpacking and doing some final cleaning in my apartment) by no later than Monday at noon. Sheesh, they would have come out tomorrow, but the TV and PC haven't even been moved yet!-------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

YAY, and hurrah!!On my end, EVERYTHING is painted... FINALLY. Baseboards done and ready to go. Later today they are delivering the flooring, which will then be installed Thursday-Friday, so WHOO-HOO to that too! On the down side, I got whammied really hard this weekend with a superbug from hell. I am still on the shakey side; I'll try to get to the Pod and write if I am up anywhere, but my head and stomach still aren't quite up to par. So my apologies to everyone; sheesh, maybe Mara will have everything back together on her end by the time I am feeling better, and maybe things will slow down a bit for PG at work and Cel too, LOL, and we can all finally get our acts together and do a little writing! Wouldn't that be refreshing! Anyway, PG will be here this week Thurs-weekend, so maybe we can share my computer and get some writing done. I need muscle to move the couch and a chair around (Ok, so I could probably do the chair, hehe) while they're putting in the floor. There is just no place to put them otherwise, so they're still sitting in the living room. Most of my smaller items are crammed into my kitchen, where my computer center has found a permanent home (in order to make room for another couch). I'm sitting here typing this with my entertainment center and a corner table literally at my back, and my wittle min-pins kennel crunched at my side, LOL!!! I'll be SOOOOO glad to get my house back! -------------------- I ride the Stormcloud and the Night!

Ok, no internet until Tuesday between 8-10 am. Apparently there is no cable connection in the room where my PC is so they have to drop a wire down for me, which means another day's wait. Grrr. I am unpacking, packing, unpacking and trying to get the apartment looking all pretty so I don't get whammied with any lame charges from the complex. Other than that I should be around (although possibly still unpacking stuff) tomorrow. Cross your fingers that this sell goes throw, I NEVER WANT TO MOVE AGAIN, AT LEAST NOT FOR A LONG TIME!!!! Good luck on the flooring and so forth Gray. Hope you get to feeling better too. No fun to be sick over summertime! Hope to see you all in cyberspace starting tomorrow! -------------------- Small minds think in small terms!

Sorry I've been a bit slow in responding to posts this week. I'm not ignoring anyone; it's planning week and I'm trying to get my classroom presentable for parents on Friday for orientation. Our school is being retrofit for wireless so everything is a mess! On top of that I've got to convert my lesson plan to a new online system as well as work my gradebook in this new fancy-schmancy thing. Things should settle down more in a week. In the meantime, I will get here as often as possible. I'm also getting used to gettng up early again!!! Don't write me off!!!-------------------- Small minds think in small terms!
