14099. thoughtful - 3/11/2005 10:46:56 PM Pelle, have you been feeling alright? Is everything ok? It used to be that you posted interesting things, engaged in conversations, demonstrated a sense of humor, and seemed to be enjoying life a lot. Lately your posts are generally short, stiff, critical, cantankerous and curmudgeonly. Like there's something really wrong.
You've got me worried about you. You remind me of my ex sec'y who was swedish, and while she was always very stoic about not feeling well, I could always tell because it would show up in her behavior.
I hope everything is fine. 14100. The Summer Woman - 3/11/2005 11:58:52 PM Mago! Happy Birthday! How come you aren't around more? You don't spend enough time online!!! 14101. The Summer Woman - 3/12/2005 12:01:35 AM Gate Keeper - For some reason I can't get into the Mote from my new computer, and I can't remember my password. Could you send it to me at Sukey@ worldcrossing.com? 14102. Ms. No - 3/12/2005 12:14:37 AM Sure thing 14103. Ms. No - 3/12/2005 12:21:46 AM okey doke, email sent 14104. The Summer Woman - 3/12/2005 12:35:41 AM Thanks, Ms. No.
Boy, did I take a wrong turn. I thought I clicked on the Religion thread, but the first thing I saw was "Vibrator FAQS". 14105. Magoseph - 3/12/2005 12:35:44 AM Thanks, Summer--I thought that I spent all my life online lately, but I'll be there to see you. 14106. Magoseph - 3/12/2005 12:40:09 AM ... "Vibrator FAQS"? That's rather amazing. 14107. Ms. No - 3/12/2005 12:59:50 AM Ah, must've been in the Sex and Gender thread. We aims to please! 14108. Magoseph - 3/12/2005 1:02:19 AM I must have missed it--how could I, for heaven's sakes? 14109. Magoseph - 3/12/2005 1:12:59 AM I had a wonderful day watching my birthday's greetings pile up, eating white grapes, and reading my new book "Atonement" by Ian McEwan. I never made it to my son’s place this afternoon—it was too snowy and I certainly did not want him to take me out to dinner on a workday--we will celebrate Saturday instead. His birthday was yesterday, so we will exchange gifts then. 14110. Ms. No - 3/12/2005 1:24:41 AM Sounds like an excellent day.
I'm thrilled to find that a book I've been waiting months for has finally been released and is in stock at the local B&N and also that my local library branch has two of this same author's out of print titles that I've been hoping to find.
It's a gorgeous warm, sunny day here and likely to be repeated all weekend.
Now I'm just anxiously awaiting news of a first date that a friend is on right this minute. We'll be getting together tomorrow for lunch and a movie.
All very low-key stuff but I'm quite pleased with it all the same. Tomorrow night will be singing and hanging out and Sunday a trip north to see my brother and his family. I'm more in love with my newphews every time I see them. 14111. arkymalarky - 3/12/2005 2:52:46 AM Happy Birthday Mags! Hope you had a great day! 14112. Snowowl - 3/12/2005 8:17:25 AM and reading my new book "Atonement" by Ian McEwan
Let me know what you think of it. It came with excellent reviews but I was very disppointed in it. 14113. Magoseph - 3/12/2005 4:59:25 PM Thank you, Arky--I had a great day.
Snow, in the last issue of Vanity Fair, there’s a laudatory review of McEwan’s last book—it is rather long but here is a small excerpt of it: “His new book, Saturday, unfolds on the day of an anti-war protest in London. In an exclusive interview, the eminent novelist (Amsterdam, Atonement) reveals that he has been re-assessing the relationship of fiction to reality—and the weight of recent history."
The book depicts the time after 9/11. I really wanted to read “Amsterdam” which I understand is a better book, but my local library didn’t have it. I just wanted to have an idea about his writing, before I read “Saturday”. I’ll let you know, though, what I think of it. 14114. judithathome - 3/12/2005 8:35:36 PM Arky, are you going to be off on Friday? We are leaving rather early and will probably get there mid afternoon...is that okay? 14115. judithathome - 3/12/2005 8:36:17 PM If you're not there, we can always drop in on Jim. ;-) 14116. PelleNilsson - 3/12/2005 8:41:11 PM thoughtful
My health is fine. My problem is that for the last few months I have bitten off more that I can chew work- and studywise.
I have considered my postings of late and you are right. Improvement is needed.
Thank you for your thoughtful candour. I owe you. 14117. judithathome - 3/12/2005 8:47:13 PM Pelle, I am proud of you. Lately a lot of people on-line have become slightly "testy"...unlike you, they don't recognize that fact and blame the messenger.
I look on you as a distant uncle who knows me but isn't impressed when I act out and doesn't hesitate to let me know. Also, it's good when this uncle can see that his attitude might be influenced by the fact I once stole his favorite pipe and smoked pot in it. 14118. arkymalarky - 3/12/2005 9:50:56 PM If you're not there, we can always drop in on Jim. ;-)
Then it'd best be early in the day. Heh.
I may be at work, but I'll email you about getting in. If we're not home, it's no problem. I get home before four, especially on Fridays.
Pelle, you're too stoic. I whined about it all the time the whole time I was busy trying to keep our schools from closing. Hope things lighten up for you soon.
