I just sometimes you say things here knowing full well the reaction from many
members and then a year from now when it's getting brought up again (heck,
make it 5 years from now), you'll ask why.
That being said - I'm glad you didn't have to shoot - or get shot.

Of course, it could be the people who complain about things bru says that have
the problem...

I'm rather happy that I don't work somewhere that involves people with guns.

Okay, so some of our clients are people with guns, but they just call-
they rarely come here. :)

I'd rather not give the name, but I work for a company that provides
computer services- desktop technical support, equipment, engineering
support and networking. Generally clients call in with problems and I
get them in touch with an engineer.

The problems begin when people bring guns to the workplace where there
shouldn't be any...

I work in computers for a mid-sized bank. Seven years going, and I've
never been at a branch while it was being robbed. Came close a few
times though.

She could crochet an afghan in return... if she has time and wants to.
But that is up the Anne.

resp:454 well I'll certainly do something. Not sure about cross-stitch
though, I tend to do large projects that are a year in the creation...

The neighbor for whom we do laundry and bike repair has been bringing over
boxes of chocolate peanut butter pretzels and getting Jim sick (he eats it
all within a few hours) after he ran out of apples. (He gets things by
volunteering at a church where they give out food from local stores). Today
he came to ask if I had a dryer because he has a new job as a cook at a
nursing home and his jacket is heavy cotton (I said to plan ahead three days
in this damp weather). If we are awake after 7 (we have a couple of other
neighbos who keep unusual hours) he will bring us the leftover vegetables from
supper. I expect once will be enough to fill the freezer. What are we going
to do with all the local produce we froze last fall?
Would Food Gatherers want to pick up from a nursing home?

I don't think our shelters have kitchens. Homeless people eat at several
local churches, which are supplied by Food Gatherers' with food from local
restaurants, and leftovers from the Farmer's Market, etc.

My hard drive at work died earlier this week. I've been limping along
using a laptop instead.
Today I got my replacement hard drive. Right now I am busily copying
files. At some point in the not too distant future, I will be back up
and running normally, which will be cause for great joy. So right now
I am pretty happy.

IVHB my favorite tv show returns on Sunday after a nearly two year
absence, The Sopranos.
They had to wait a year for James Gandolfini to become available again,
and then started shooting new episodes more than a year ago. Creator
David Chase is known to spend more than a month on each episode,
meticulously laying out scenes.
The Sopranos is the darkest show on tv, a shakespearean tragedy about a
king who slowly loses his soul, and as a result everyone around him is
doomed.
This is the first half of the last season.
Let the bloodshed begin.

re #462
Uh..I thought David Chase likes to write stories about families. You're being
a little too romantic about it.

resp:457 Well, it's on our bed right now and they sleep there. I can't
see why cats would attack homemade quilts anymore than regular store
bought ones...
So far they seem to like sleeping on it. Once they got over their 'WTF
IS THAT>?!?!' thing that cats do.

IHB they just opened a Trader Joe's near where I work. We haven't had one
in Manhattan before. Think I'll go there later and get some Trader Joe's
Gourmet Chocolate Fudge or some Trader Joe's Gourmet Graham Crackers or
something. I like Trader Joe's. The cashiers wear hawaiian shirts :)

I LOVE Trader Joe's. I shop there regularly. I like that they have
frozen pizza's that dont have too much cheese and have whole wheat
crusts and no ingredients that I dont like (like high fructose corn
syrup).

IHB spring is here, for at least the weekend! The high is in the 70s today
with a chance of hitting 80 this weekend, though with a chance of rain
tomorrow. I'm not going to want to pack! Fortunately, I have some friends
coming over to help out. Hopefully, we'll get a lot of this knocked out.
