16413. alistairConnor - 9/1/2005 9:34:44 PM Yes, my Mam has just done a three-week tour through the Baltic states, then Petrograd to Moscow on a boat. I ordered her to spend a week with us before going back to NZ.
Oddly enough, Mago, I did bring the girlfriend... she's the climbing instructor.
I introduced her to the girls as "a friend" (je crois que l'ainée a senti qu'il y avait anguille sous roche). I confessed all to my mother of course. 16414. Ms. No - 9/1/2005 9:45:17 PM AC,
Know anything or have any opinions about WireHog? 16415. SnowOwl - 9/1/2005 9:48:07 PM You'd better come back too, Alistair. I think we're going to need your vote.
If Brash wins I may have to emigrate. 16416. alistairConnor - 9/1/2005 10:15:53 PM Never fear Snow, I'm going to download a ballot paper off the internet, and fax it back or whatever. Yes I will vote.
I still think a Labour/Green government is the most likely outcome, even as a minority government.
Have you seen the Frogblog? 16417. alistairConnor - 9/1/2005 10:18:30 PM Wirehog, No :
I never heard of it before... looked it up, it looks cool...
that is not a qualified opinion or anything 16418. Snowowl - 9/1/2005 10:41:43 PM Nice blog, Alistair.
I've been politically apathetic for years. In fact, I've been breaking the law by not even being on the roll. However, this year I'm motivated enough to enrol and actually vote. 16419. Ms. No - 9/1/2005 10:46:27 PM My reading group was thinking about using it since it's easier than emailing the whole list every time we pass around a file. My only concern was how vulnerable it might be to viruses, but it appears that unless you've got a friend who's going to send you one you're not going to have any problems. Only people on your list can contact or even see you. 16420. Magoseph - 9/2/2005 11:17:29 AM Oddly enough, Mago, I did bring the girlfriend... she's the climbing instructor.
Oh, that's so great, Ali, and what a lucky man you are to have four of the same gender with you and loving you.
Hi, Mac! 16421. Macnas - 9/2/2005 11:22:49 AM Hello Mago. 16422. Magoseph - 9/2/2005 2:36:42 PM Have a nice weekend, Mac! 16423. Macnas - 9/2/2005 4:30:03 PM You too Mago, say hello to Flexi (and Butch) for me.
See you Monday. 16424. PelleNilsson - 9/2/2005 6:59:37 PM We are off to the countryside tomorrow to enjoy the last days of summer and close the place down. See you next weekend. 16425. Jenerator - 9/2/2005 7:18:15 PM I wish we were in the final days of summer. At 10:00 am it was already 92 F. 16426. Magoseph - 9/2/2005 7:25:11 PM It's seventy degrees here for a change, no clouds, but the mosquitoes are murderous because of the humidity. They're everywhere and I can't go out. At least, though, the windows are all open, no air-conditioned and the birdies are entertaining us. 16427. Magoseph - 9/2/2005 7:26:19 PM How is your mom doing, Jen? Have you gotten after the staff and made her more comfortable? 16428. Jenerator - 9/2/2005 7:40:31 PM Thanks for asking, Mags. I am so frustrated. My mom was released today and no one knew what to do at the hospital.
I can't even get her surgeon to return a call.
My mom is doing alright. I am presonally concerned about her medications and lack of strength (she needs therapy, IMO), but no one listens to what I have to say. 16429. Magoseph - 9/2/2005 8:41:20 PM Call her insurance purveyor and find out if, for an operation like your mother had, physical therapy is covered and if it is, go after the doctor. 16430. judithathome - 9/2/2005 9:25:50 PM Get a patient advocate, Jen. 16431. Ulgine Barrows - 9/3/2005 4:33:18 AM Take time off from work and care for your mom, Jenerator. 16432. Magoseph - 9/3/2005 11:00:38 AM Jen is working only part-time, Ulgine, and she's taking care of her mother. She's having her baby in a couple of weeks.
