The Verona Area International School will be located within Stoner Prairie Elementary School in Fitchburg for at least two years.

It was really bleeding and pretty painful, so I asked Ms. Jackie to escort me to Urgent Care. The whole visit was like a scene out of Saturday night live. And it ended with the nurse gauzing my wound until it looked like a nice little penis on my finger.

A lot of American states have official state flowers, state songs, state animals, and so on… but Wisconsin looks set to break new ground by naming an official state microbe. A bill currently progressing through the state assembly would make Lactococcus lactis - the bacterium that helps turn milk into cheese - one of its official insignias.

Digital market intelligence company ComScore released its December 2009 results yesterday and some of the numbers on Facebook are incredible. For me the one that stands out is that Facebook now accounts for 7 percent of all time spent online in the U.S. No wonder we can’t get any work done!
The scarier statistic would be how much of that is spent on FarmVille.

You’re still that kid, and you’ve waited a decade for another legitimate shot. (The main difference being that that kid is now of legal drinking age, and will be watching the game at a bar instead of on a friend’s basement floor.)

Feels the move “would be unfair to Jimmy.” Expresses “personal disappointment” at the thought of losing the show.
Calls the move to 12:05 the Tonight Show’s “destruction.”

The morning news anchorman just used the terms “snail mail” and “electronic mail”.

Seriously! This morning on one of our local radio stations they gave away tickets to an Uncle Kracker concert. I too thought maybe time had gone in reverse. I mean, I know Wisco can be a bit behind the times but wow….

Remember when we thought we would fund our college educations by selling off our Beanie Baby collections?
Still trying to figure out why that particular investment didn’t mature as anticipated.

Thanks to my loving husband, I now have several followers, and the pressure is on to to keep this up. Which, in a way is very sad…..I hate to let down others, but without that I have no problem letting myself down, LAME.
