I called SBC for the 13th or 14th time to report that I was still getting 'Let
repeat dialing.....'. The guy I got said he was a supervisor and he would
put some big guns on the project. The last person had the theory that people
had cancelled repeat dialing but not the announcement, so she cancelled the
announcement. This time they will look into programming errors, which was
the problem with the commercial after 8 rings. While working on this task
he tried to sell me a cell phone.

After calling for help take an aspirin. If you
are alone move to somewhere where you can be seen
or at the very least unlock your front door.
Then lay still and wait for help.
That would be my advice.

The cough thing has been pretty vigorously debunked -- it apparently can work,
but only for certain types of heart attacks, and is actively bad for others.
Listen to Mary.

Excerpt:
If you were a doctor and knew exactly what you were doing, it might help save
your life. If, however, you are not a physician and you misjudge the kind of
cardiac event you're experiencing, cough CPR could kill. This "helpful" e-mail
could help you right into a grave.

Peruvian food is garlicky (sp?) ;) and sometimes very hot. It reminds me of
of carribean and spanish food put together. The last time I was there I got
a seafood Paella, also called Paella Valenciana. It was soooo goood! Hey if
you know anyone from the bay area.. let them know we are getting together!

paella valenciana was Spanish, last time I remembered. Peruvian food
sounds interesting. Wonder if they do anything interesting with
potatoes (the potato is native to Peru and grows in over a 100
varieties there)

IWLTA that I saw something I thought was cool at the Sandy Beach "park" at
Baw Beese Lake outside of Hillsdale: They had an inflatable raft - which I
later learned was called the Iceberg - white, which judging by the height of
the kids I saw on it, rose ~12 feet at its top, pyramid shaped. It had grab
handles as you would see for rock climbing. The kids swam out to it from
shore (~100 yards), wearing life preservers, and were free to climb it, jump
off it, fall off it, into water which I assume was sufficiently deep, while
a life guard watched from a nearby row boat. I guess you paid your $2 for
maybe a half hour session.

Highlights of RISKS digest volume 22 issue 82:
-- Diebold voting machines have flaws which would allow
practically anyone (from voting officials to teenagers)
to undetectably alter votes or vote as many times as
they liked.
-- Inadequate security at a South African bank allowed a
thief to steal account/PIN combinations and transfer
other people's money to himself.
-- A thief in NYC used keyloggers on computers at Kinko's
to steal credit card numbers.
And more (the last item is hilarious). /a/r/u/russ/risks/risks-22.82
