Ms. No,

I have sent my address to the moderator address. While I'm uncertain that the topic has much traction here, I'm willing to give it a go.

If it doesn't, maybe you could expand it to discuss Latinos in the US and Latin America in general. Evidently Latinos had quite an impact on the election.

For those of you who enjoyed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, I suggest
The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon.

Usually I just tear into a book; I had to stop at page 3 for this one.

I hope the ending is as good as it's auspicious beginning.

Oh, and my neighborhood grocery is going out of business, thanks WalMart. I suppose I will be sucked into those never-ending aisles after all. Wallheads, assimilate.

Hi, everyone!
...It took me seven times to figure out my password, but it came back to me on what was to be my last attempt.

That image in post 11911 conjures up some fond memories of dusting. Yes, dusting. :)

Yep, I finally got around to plucking down the money for a new G-5 Imac, so I'll try to stop by more often, although probably not as often as I'd like. I just stopped by at Random a second ago to give Ozzie a belated, but much deserved congratulations on his Bosox taking the World Championship.

Arky -- I still owe you a phone call just to touch base. I haven't forgotten. I'm just a laggard. How's life ? And, yes, I'm attributing that tiny speck of blue on that Arkansas red map as the Arkymalarky domicile.

Judith -- Is there such a thing as a "plain French armoire" ? How are you and Keoni ?

Hey,Christine! Are you still residing in that cool retro 1950s neighborhood ?

Hello to anyone else I missed! )

Hello. Hello. I'm at a place called vertiGO ... Got to GO for now in other words. See y'all later.

11931. arkymalarky - 11/5/2004 10:00:48 AM

Hey Frank! I'm so glad you're communicado here again. Please make as much time for us as you can, and after January/February I should be able to be here more.

I really look forward to hearing from you. Call any time.

Up with a migraine right now. And for some reason there's been a lot of traffic by our house for it to be 2:00am on an empty country road.

I'm proud that my part of the state (southwest) went for Kerry.

11932. Frankster - 11/5/2004 10:18:38 AM

Arky !

ARKY !!!

(Rhetorical) What are you doing up, woman ?! I was just about to sign off for the evening and there you were. :)

I'm so sorry about your migraine. I've been having headaches of late and my doctor attributed it to the lack of glasses. I got glasses, and poof, headaches gone. I didn't realize my left eye was doing all the work.

Yes, this new Imac is nice, but I really have to learn System 10.3 in order to get my money's worth. After spending $1800.00, I found out that I still need more ram. Can you believe that ? Ouch!

Yikes, I hope there isn't anything nefarious going on there with all that late night traffic.

I hope you feel better. Take care,

Frank

Hey! I was checking out Guerilla News Network

Interesting stuff there.

I'll probably be able to get back to sleep in a bit. I'm going on a field trip tomorrow anyway, so I won't have to try to teach, at least. And it will be Friday, thankfully. It's been a rough week for Liberal Democrats.

11934. Frankster - 11/5/2004 10:28:03 AM

You just won't let go to sleep, will you, woman ? I'll check out your link before I hit the sack.

It's been a rough four years for Liberal Democrats.

Where ya going on this trip ?

11935. arkymalarky - 11/5/2004 10:30:26 AM

I'll try to fall asleep with a heating pad on high under my pillowcase. That's how I do it when they won't go away.

We're taking a group to a historical Civil War presentation for the day. It should be fun, if this headache is gone by then.

11936. Frankster - 11/5/2004 10:31:06 AM

By the way, I'll pass along my homepage since you provided me with a link.

http://www.commondreams.org/

It's not extreme, but I have those sites bookmarked too.

11937. Frankster - 11/5/2004 10:33:47 AM


You're too nice to get headaches, Arky. I hope yours goes away soon.

Yes, it sounds like fun.

Oh, shoot. I missed my favorite sitcom, "Just Shoot Me".

11938. arkymalarky - 11/5/2004 10:34:39 AM

Hey, that's a good one! I'll bookmark it.

When you do get a chance to call I'll give you my website url for the stuff we've been doing here. Not much going on at the moment, but it's about to kick back up.

Well, I guess I'd better try that heating pad or I'm going to be a zombie tomorrow.

It's so WONDERFUL to finally "see" you!

11939. Frankster - 11/5/2004 10:39:16 AM


It's always neat to hang with y'all. You guys keep me grounded. Hee-hee! I have so many fond memories of my four or five active years in the Fray and The Mote.

Take care, Arky. I hope you do get over that headache. I think I'll go across the street and get something to eat before hitting the sack.

'night !!!

11940. alistairconnor - 11/5/2004 10:47:46 AM

Welcome baxter, Frank.

11941. Frankster - 11/5/2004 11:04:21 AM

Hello, Alistair!

(I've got the U2 Ipod commercial on my mind, so bear with me for a sec)
...
Hello, Hello
Hola! [Spanish for Hello]
I'm at a place called vertigo (¿Dónde está?) [Where is it?]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel
Feeeeeeeeeeeel...

I hate being a funny-duddy, Alistair, but I am fighting to keep my eyelids open at the moment while trying to tie up all my lose ends before I sign off. ... I think I'm going to skip the little romp to the store. I'm not only tired, but I'm also cold. I hope you're not too cold across the pond there currently ?

Okay, I better get. Take care, Alistair! Good night, morning, whatever it is where you are at ? :)

11942. alistairconnor - 11/5/2004 11:13:19 AM

Morning! sleep well.
Not cold, but awfully wet.
(not actually here in the office, but the rivers are bursting their banks and stuff)

11943. Magoseph - 11/5/2004 2:06:57 PM

Hello, Ali, Mac and everyone, we are getting ready to go to Chicago this morning in order to sign the final papers on a couple of lots we just sold. Slowly but surely, we are finally divesting ourselves of property. I have to drive there and Flexy won’t be able to object to my driving this time because if he does, I will stop and say “you drive” and these days he is not about to drive in Chicago’s traffic. Thanks, Mac for your answer in Tech. Ali, put your input in there too, please.

11944. Ms. No - 11/5/2004 6:41:02 PM

Ah! I missed Frank! Good to see you, friend but take that nasty 'e' off the end of my name would ya? ;->

No, I am not living in the same neighborhood. I'm now in Burbank in a far better place all on my own with awesome neighbors and a sane and reasonable landlord. In fact, I'm planning a holiday party for the first part of December and I'd love to see you if you're in town. I'll let you know when I've got a definite date.


11945. Macnas - 11/5/2004 6:43:52 PM

Ms.No, we are forever saying our hellos and goodbyes through the revolving door.

See youse all next week.
