12795. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 5:14:17 AM You're in the majority here! 12796. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 5:14:50 AM About the same as in Berkeley. 12797. robertjayb - 12/19/2004 7:52:11 AM Max Macks,
There was someone ( name forgotten) who lives
or did then in Java(?) who was quite a linguist
and answered my questions about some words.
That would have been Irving Snodgrass. The last mention I recall placed him in Canada. 12798. PsychProf - 12/19/2004 4:04:03 PM Max...that was Irv Snodgrass, and I beleive it was Jakarta. He is fine, working for his PHD in Linguistics. 12799. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 5:38:26 PM BTW, Irv's mother taught two of my kids in grade school. (Quite a good teacher.) Small world. 12800. PelleNilsson - 12/19/2004 6:26:48 PM Irv lived in Denpasar, Bali. 12801. judithathome - 12/19/2004 6:58:53 PM He moved there from Jakarta, though, right? I seem to recall him telling a wonderful, scary story about that move. 12802. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:02:15 PM Where is he now? 12803. judithathome - 12/19/2004 7:02:53 PM In Canada. 12804. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:12:26 PM With his Indonesian wife? Or did they split? 12805. Magoseph - 12/19/2004 7:19:48 PM I think that they split, Won. 12806. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:23:55 PM Too bad. Or, hopefully, for the best. 12807. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 7:27:05 PM I have a lot yet to do for the holidays. Three children coming home starting Wednesday. Need to get tree, wrap presents, do Christmas cards, have surgery on my face and ear on Tuesday (removal of two small skin cancers.)and here I am procrastinating on the Mote. Just like cleaning my room during exam week in college! 12808. Magoseph - 12/19/2004 7:43:02 PM Yesterday, I went to Best Buy and Sam's and bought things for a few hundred-dollar bills. Granted, I need everything I bought, but tell me how come is it that money goes so fast?
When I am rested from trempling two large stores, I'll hook up stuff on this computer--I guess that will be a consolation. 12809. PelleNilsson - 12/19/2004 7:47:47 PM Trempling indeed tires one out. 12810. Magoseph - 12/19/2004 7:49:15 PM Won, first things first-- take care the surgery on your face and ear first, please. 12811. judithathome - 12/19/2004 7:50:42 PM Yes, good luck with that, Wonkers! 12812. wonkers2 - 12/19/2004 8:22:11 PM Actually, Cap'n Dirty's having the surgery. Too much sun aboard the Tomater Sloop! 12813. judithathome - 12/19/2004 9:18:44 PM I figured that much...I had one removed from my chin and it was a direct result of too much sun while lolling on the beaches of Okinawa. Couldn't understand why I never got any where my bikini wasn't. ;-) 12814. SnowOwl - 12/19/2004 10:09:48 PM Best wishes to the Cap'n. I hope the surgery goes smoothly.
I'm in a state of total disarray. We have the Swedish contingent and the Aussies all arriving down here in the New Year and at present we have no living room, because it's being renovated; the front garden has vanished beneath great piles of timber because we're having a deck built and I've done no Christmas shopping because I've been too busy with the renovations to even think about what to get anyone.
