I have a sis in law like that too, Jiffer. Sucks, but it's manageable. I
just dodge her phone calls most of the time, because they're usually
last-minute babysitting calls.
re 136 or so... I am looking for a job in either teaching (English) or
communications. At this point I would do a secretarial type job in the
meantime. Although, it looks like I'll have a sweet tutoring gig lined
up and that will help tremendously.

I told her that I couldn't do the murals or the pillows till after things get
manageable... (wonderful excuse to be attending school, and having 2 study
guides to use as visuals)

More annoying than a bummer, but...
Most of the way through a long file transfer, a temporary glitch
cancelled it. For some reason I can't get compression to work
over the link nor can I boost the speed, so for assurance's sake
I have to do the whole thing over again the same slow, tedious way.

Drama on the front with the roomie. The strict 'no overnight guest" policy
in our dorm is creating quite the ruckus.

IBB one of the bicyclists on the AABTS One Helluva Ride had a stroke or
seizure and was pronounced dead at the scene by one of our (The Arrow) Ham
Operators (who is a doctor and drives one of the Sag wagons).

Yeah, Elvisfest in Ypsilanti. The A2 News had a big article about one of my
dojo brothers doing Elvis - Chris Solano. Does a great young Elvis.

Plenty of other folks saw him, however. We had to double the number of
lines to get into Elvisfest (take money, apply wristband, offer program)
and even then it was almost continuous work-as-fast-as-you-can from 2 to
6, with substantial lines backing up a few times.

Child overexposure - good thing all of my niece's friends are starting to come
back from vacation. I'm out of energy for playing with her.

I woke up this morning to the sound of about 120 books jumping off the
bookshelf in the other room to the floor at 7am.
(On the top shelf of the bookcase, books are stacked. 40 high, six stacks
across, two deep. Approx the top halves of all the front stacks were on the
floor. . .)
Ah well. This'll give me a nice chance to exercise the obsessive-compulsive
in me & nicely reorder the books. . . .

IBB I got the following report from the Discovery office today:
ALL THE POWERPRESENTER LAPTOPS IN THE PREMIUMS CLOSET WERE
STOLEN OVER THE WEEKEND, ALONG WITH MOST OF OUR OTHER COMPUTER HARDWARE
This is especially boggling to me because the office requires a keycard
for access, and the thief would have to have known both that the closet
had the laptops in it and where to look for the key to that closet.
In a strange twist, since I am in possession of a keycard which I grabbed
on my way out on Thursday evening, figuring I would use it to return
tomorrow to finish my work -- a keycard not officially issued to me -- I
may be considered a suspect in any investigation of the theft.

resp:185 Young Elvis-- that's cool. I always thought the Vegas Elvis
was a bit overdone.

sorry , dewshine - the first and the most recent always hurt a lot.
the hurt receeds slowly - many of us - many of us - have lost friends
by the same sudden device. life is not fair, but keep onliving anyway.

I am NOT Bummed Because Rabih Hadad (spelling?) has been removed from the
country.
Why would you be bummed because a man who broke the law was sent home?

IBB because I am in desperate need of a part-time job, and Abilene is in
a bit of an employment slump right now *sigh*.....

I am bummed because I dont believe that Rabih Hadad was treated fairly
and I believe that reflects badly on our country.

But if he was here illegally (which he was), then he should have been
deported. Apparently he entered on a tourist visa and overstayed it by five
years, so he was eligible for deportation.
