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. 14119. PelleNilsson - 3/12/2005 10:16:03 PM So that's what you did with it, Judith? No wonder I felt so dizzy afterwards. You naughty, naugthy girl! 14120. judithathome - 3/13/2005 12:54:18 AM ;-)
