The Detroit Zoo is not as magnificent as I remembered it being. It
is, like the Nashville Zoo which I visited last year, underpopulated
with animals, and underfunded. I thought it compared unfavorably even
with Potter Park Zoo in Lansing (an outdated, small but still
reasonably nice zoo). I took my son to the Detroit Zoo today, and
wished we'd gone to Toledo instead.

Re 295> For my grandmother and her sister, age seems only to have made
them more "jaded" if you will. It seems, at the age of 80 something,
very little serves to shock them. This was evidenced when they were
taken to a topless cabaret in Paris, and neither batter an eyelid.
This coming from little old ladies from India, where even a little
bare skin send people into a tizzy.
Especially my grandmother's sister. You could say anything to her, and
she'd continue like everything's normal. I guess age brings
experiences, and nothing surprises them anymore

My grandparents are pretty laid back as well. But then, we have some
interesting distant realations as well.

I still can't get teaching stuff straightened away, nor do I have my
contract signed yet, because the power is still out at the school.
Stupid storm.
IBB people don't seem to understand that when traffic lights aren't
working (and half of them still aren't due to trees crashing down
everywhere), you treat it as a four way stop. I've nearly been run over
several times a day due to people who think no light = excuse to book it
through an intersection.
There's been at least 100 robberies per night since the storm hit.

General malaise makes it difficult to concentrate or accomplish much of
anything--despite boss breathing down my neck.

IBB my winning bid on ebay fell through. After winning and paying, the seller
informs me that he can't get the item from his "Vendor" for 4-6 weeks, so
he is returning my payment by money order. I think he discovered his "Vendor"
wanted more for the item than my winning bid. I filed negative feedback
and have contacted the ebay fraud site. I think sellers should only offer
items they have, or will accept the consequences of having to pay too much
to get them if they are dealing with "Vendors".

It sounds like how I'd handle that situation, Rane. I'm sorry you
aren't going to get the item.
Would it be meaningful for us if you were to explain what it is? I'm
curious!

My son tells me his mother and her boyfriend may be flying to Las
Vegas to get married this weekend.
While this is slightly good in the short term -- John won't be living
with his mother's live-in any more -- it's got a lot of bad to it as
well.
The bum will be his stepdad until the next divorce, unless the bum
really is dying. Either way, I see it as an unstable, temporary
thing, not much different than the live-in situation they've been in.
It's going to be a bit more difficult for me to be effective when I
object to my son spending time alone with this person.
I'm not really looking for commentary on this situation. I don't want
to argue viewpoints about it. I understand that some will disagree
with me (and that some will agree with me) about how I view the whole
situation. When it comes down to it in the end, I'm the one who has
to deal with it, and that's just how it is.

Most of today didn't go the way I wanted. Got pulled over for
speeding and couldn't find a current insurance identification card.
Yeah, bet that made your day, piggie.

Re #311 - you're mad at the cop because you were speeding and didn't have a
copy of your current insurance where you could easily locate it?

#308-- rcurl, you should have sent the money he returned to you right
back to the seller. Insist he honor the deal. Ebay should also insist
he honor the deal or suspend his seller's privileges

Re#316: that's true, but they should have the merchandize to sell, not
short-sell. I have to swear up and down (electronically) that I will honor
the outcome of the *auction* and pay for what I win. I think the sellers
have the same obligation.
I thought that sending back his money order (which is how he said he was
refunding my payment) would complicate matters. I am hoping ebay will
insist that he honor the deal, whatever it costs him.

re resp:314: Thanks, Todd.
The guy is going to be John's stepdad; that's the title he's going to
get when he marries John's mother. I can't do anything about it.

resp:313 no, I'm torqued because I knew I had a recent copy but all I
was finding was outdated crap. It's history now.

IBB the Wolverine Gaming Club was less than I expected from a gaming
club.
IBB I had learned of Tango instruction at the Michigan Union, and there
was no lesson the night I went.
IBB I have forgotten the combination to my padlock, right when I was
getting ready to get back into an exercise program.
