Church is canceled due to the weather
Elisabeth in IL replied to Jean in Wisc's topic in General Education Discussion Board
It is raining quite hard this Sunday morning. I heard that it will turn to ice a bit later then snow. This has been the longest winter that we have had in quite some time and I'm ready for it to be OVER. :eek: My Aunt lives in Southern Illinois, almost Kentucky, and she said that the Ohio river was already quite high and they are talking about closing the flood gates and it is only February. My guess is that the rain we are getting is not going to help. -
That's it, I'm opening my own library...
Elisabeth in IL replied to Tutor's topic in General Education Discussion Board
That is awfully short. Our library holds books for a week. They definately need to inform their employees of the policies. Yikes! -
I have 4 good friends. All of them have been friends of mine for over 10 years. I think good friends are friends that you can tell anything to, you know that the information will not be shared, and you know that you are accepted and loved no matter what. One of those good friends I only see once maybe twice a year if I'm lucky but we fall into step with each other the moment we see or talk to the other. Those are my good friends and I also have friends which I call aquaintence friends. I am more guarded with them but yet we have fun and can talk about our lives just not the deep stuff.

Who are you people talking to?
Elisabeth in IL replied to Amy loves Bud's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I'm actually somewhere between the cell phone being for emergencies and my friend. I use it but not loads and I'm not hands free. -
I did not see the 20/20 segment but I did see a Body Works II exhibit when it came to the Museum of Science and Industry. It was fascinating! They had places for you to donate your body and I thought that they mentioned that all the bodies had been donated. Hmmmm It would be interesting to know for sure. On one hand it is disturbing that they didn't know where the bodies came from so you don't know if the families are left hanging - not knowing what happened to their loved ones. This of course is a worse case senario. Actually this thought is very disturbing. If it isn't the worse case senerio, my thought is that once you are dead you don't need the body any longer so if it helps someone else.... I sure do hope that the bodies weren't donated against their wishes.

Tell your daughter thank you for thinking to donate her hair. My niece, while she didn't use a wig, had leukemia when she was 3 and lost all her hair. I know that had she been older she would have loved to have a wig. I'm sure that the loss of hair was quite a shock for your poor dh. Please do the before and after picures. I'm sure that she looks adorable!!! :)

Just have to share!
Elisabeth in IL replied to sdWTMer's topic in General Education Discussion Board
How wonderful! Congratulation! It's so fulfilling to be recognized for doing a great job and rewarded for it!!! :) -
I like the fact that they had those pop-ups on last weeks episode. I missed last week's show and didn't watch it on the computer, thus the pop-ups gave me a lot more insight. Whoever mentioned the CS Lewis connection last week seems to be right on the money then the time difference.... Well we must be in a different "world". Who else is one of the six???? :confused:

My brother is/was freaking out as he just graduated from there this past summer. He has friends that still attend and is worried about them. I know that at least one if not 2 or three people from our church who attend NIU. Praying for that community.

Bonkers with Winter Doldrums
Elisabeth in IL replied to Valerie in Chicago's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Did you see that we have more snow on the way and perhaps a big one depending on how the front comes through? I was surprised when I heard on the news that we, Northern Illinois - near the WI boarder, have had over 5 feet of snow this season. It has been crazy this year! -
My mother just has them in pots in her kitchenette area so they are like any other potted plant that you would have in your house. They along with most of her house plants go outside in the summer. She doesn't seem to do anything special with them other then give them a bit of fertalizer ever so often.

CD copying - what if?
Elisabeth in IL replied to Sarah CB's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I don't think that your situation is the same as the OPs. You didn't loose them and your not asking your friend to make copies for you. I think the OP should call Focus on the Family. I wouldn't be surprised if they said that she could do it just because she asked. Of course they might not say yes then the moral dilema is solved but it may not be what the OP's hoping to hear. -
Absolutely strangest thing...
Elisabeth in IL replied to Kate CA's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My boys thought these were so funny. I'm glad that they are fakes, at the same though, part of me says how cool.....
