To me, "deep South" means southern Ohio and Indiana, where people in the gas
stations start talking with a funny southern accent.

The South starts when you see the watertower that says "Florence,
Y'All". This is just a bit south of the IHOP/Waffle House line.

Yep, "Florence Y'All" is the start of the South to me too.

Deep south is when you leave any major city in Georgia, Alabama or
Mississippi, and you hope your car doesn't break down or you get lost.
Let me add South Carolina to that... I went to Beech Island and it was
scarey.

resp:32 if you're serious, (which I doubt) you'd be in for culture
shock if you were to come down I-82 to the Columbia Basin, much less
across the Oregon border over to Umatilla.

Through a mistake of mine, I had an overdue bill for my son's
dentist. I stopped by last month to pay it, and upon discussing the
matter with the dentist's staff, they discovered my error, contacted
the insurance company, and corrected my mistake. I didn't have to pay
the bill. I'd written the check but tore it up, since they were
satisfied the insurance company would pay.
Now, a month later, I got a letter from the dentist's office,
containing a check sent to the dentist from my insurance company.
They signed the check and forwarded it to me, apparently having
recorded that I'd paid.
What a pleasure to know I'm dealing with such honest people! A lot of
businesses would just cash such a check, assuming it to be theirs
without doing any further investigation. It's a mistake on their
part, but most such mistakes are against the customer, not in favor of
them.
I guess it's time for a trip to the video store, where I'll apply my
proceeds to a month or two worth of movies. Thanks, Doc!

(I'm kidding, of course. I'm sending the check back to them along
with a nice letter.)

Does dental insurance pay for fillings? I thought it only paid for cleanings
and checkups.
I am happy because I have an excuse to stay in bed feeling sorry for myself
instead of going out and digging in the garden. This is because my pulled
muscles in my back are much worse after taking care of the flooded basement
yesterday. First I mopped the kitchen (a great way to make pulled muscles
worse), then Rotorooter refused to use the outside basement steps (half of
them were missing, I understood) so I got to remove everything from the
doorway (my main entrance) and clear a path through the kitchen and then
remove a lot of heavy food containers lining the stairs and basement floor,
and then mop the basement and bathroom (in basement) and steps and kitchen
(again) and put everything back. So now I get the day off in bed. I am also
happy that I caught it this time before the basement was under 2 " of water
and it was only a wet bathroom and laundry room. And I am even happier that
Rotorooter (who did the job when Jim refused - he did it the last ten times)
left two minutes before our dinner guest arrived. Good luck comes in threes
(but I am losing count on this one). I also get to wash the bathmats again
(after just changing them the day before) so they will be extra clean. Raw
sewage is such fun! The Rotorooter guy had fun breaking out the plug to a
side section of sewer and snaking out two sections instead of one. He says
he has to break out lots of plugs - this is Ann Arbor.
Jim is happy that he has a chance to cut down (with an interesting contraption
of saw on pole) the large branch next door before it takes out his power line.
Back to bed. (Not intended as a pun).

I am ecstatically happy because I finally got my Linux computer onto
the Internet. The network card I was using didn't work. Now that
I've done it, it was so easy I can't take that much pride in it. What
happened to understanding routing and all that? (Heh. I'll take it.)
Also, I untangled the huge mess of cables, cords and wires behind my
computers. Well, at least I got the mess behind the computers instead
of most of it being in front of them!

My dental insurance pays for fillings - 80% of them anyways. I think
so...I havent needed a filling in years. I did need a crown a while
back and it paid 50% of that bill.

This flood really was just a small one compared to the last ten or so.
I notice the flood when I walk downstairs in my socks.
Jim is happy because he got a chance to explain to his sister the various
details in his 'relationship' with his daughter. She phoned last night for
about three hours (his sister). She had been assigned the task of informing
Jim that he should renew his passport so that he could walk his daughter down
the aisle at her wedding (in N. Ireland). His daughter did something similar
last time she got married - not having talked to Jim for 10 years she told
his sister to inform him to wear a blue blazer to her wedding (to which she
had not of course invited him). Jim explained that he had written her a long
email explaining why he was not coming to this wedding either, to which he
never got an answer of any sort. He never gets answers. His sister is
starting to understand the situation. Jim is happy because someone took the
time to listen to his side of the situation.
I am happy because Jim answered most of my email so I did not have to sit up.
The email was to people who know he cannot spell. He invented a really novel
way to spell Joseph (my nephew who turned three three days ago). The letters
were all there and it started with J.
Congratulations on getting Linux online!
