16506. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:24:39 PM Well, Mac, It looks as the family will have a nice time and maybe, so will you. 16507. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:26:10 PM Actually, I should rephrase this comment, Mac--you will have a nice time yourself because you will be with the family. There, better? 16508. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:27:24 PM I think that I'm getting far too feisty--I'm going to take a nap now before tackling Butch. 16509. Ms. No - 9/8/2005 3:56:41 PM Nah, we like you feisty! 16510. alistairconnor - 9/8/2005 4:15:57 PM Looks like you're holding the whip hand now, Mago.
Harness up the coach and six! Off to Chicago. Fouettes, cocher! 16511. Ms. No - 9/8/2005 4:31:48 PM How did the weekend go, Connor? Did you give us details and I missed them? 16512. alistairconnor - 9/8/2005 4:52:39 PM Um um weekend. Nothing much. Got my mother back onto the plane on Saturday, back to NZ via Frankfurt and Singapore. She freaked me out by not having her tickets when we went to check in, I thought for a minute they were at home an hour's drive away, but they were in the car. She says this was her last trip, she's said it before but I believe her this time. Fading short-term memory is troublesome in three-hour layovers in big international airports, stuff like that.
So it'll be our turn to visit her next. 16513. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 4:54:30 PM Nah, we like you feisty!
Ah, that's good, Ms. No--like our New Yorker friend always says: you gotta work at respect, you gotta earn it, you gotta demand it!. 16514. judithathome - 9/8/2005 7:49:46 PM Magos, the afternoon and evening with our friends is Saturday...Keoni's birthday: Gallery Night, a play, and dinner, all with 12 of our friends. I just delivered the wine to the restaurant.
I did this after the meeting of the committee that is chosing candidates for village council and I was not chosen. They picked someone whose job is with Homeland Security at D/FW airport...no, not Jenerator, but a man who lives here in the village. I must say, I was relieved because I wasn't looking forward to the smear campaigns this place is known for. Now I can work to get this guy elected and not worry about having some jerk attack me. The guy seems very capable and I am sure he has more skills than I when it comes to admistration...of course, his campaign posters won't look as good as the ones I was planning but you can't have everything. ;-) 16515. Macnas - 9/9/2005 8:18:00 AM Rained all night, still raining now.
Hmm, the river beckons me with its soft insistant murmured song... 16516. alistairconnor - 9/9/2005 9:03:35 AM umm is the river lapping at your feet yet?
Get your gumboots on and call in the helicopters? 16517. Ulgine Barrows - 9/9/2005 9:28:02 AM two drops of happy,
one drop of sad 16518. alistairconnor - 9/9/2005 9:32:14 AM mixing your drinks?
Bitters? Sours? 16519. Ulgine Barrows - 9/9/2005 9:38:57 AM Why don't you guess, allknowing Assumption.
I am trying to stop smoking.
How is your new woman, and the child arrangements? 16520. Ulgine Barrows - 9/9/2005 9:48:24 AM Alistair ia a petty-wonk,
new lady doesn't like
his children
it's not the same
kissing them gooodnight
with that bitch
standing by
Pfffft.
I hope she has her own new lover. 16521. Ulgine Barrows - 9/9/2005 9:55:24 AM two drops of happy
one pinch of pain
Lee Hazlewood 16522. Ulgine Barrows - 9/9/2005 10:04:04 AM two drops of happy
one pinch of pain
Lee Hazlewood 16523. alistairconnor - 9/9/2005 11:24:13 AM I feel your pain
New woman recently gave up smoking -- not tobacco. She says it was like leaving a lover after 20 years.
That lover didn't deserve her.
New woman is good! And happy. But she is not family. Not yet, anyway. I have no intention of imposing her on the children, nor vice versa.
16524. Macnas - 9/9/2005 11:34:23 AM Just so long as she sees everything thats on the menu alistair.
How often do you have the kids? 16525. alistairconnor - 9/9/2005 11:43:38 AM Ah yes we are the total transparency team.
We are on 50/50 timeshare. mum gets the week, I get the weekends. To make it come out theoretically even, I have responsibility from start of school Friday to end of school Monday, i.e. I pick them up from school in a couple of hours and take them to school on Monday morning.
That's what the ex suggested, and it works remarkably well for me, except for the lack of a private life on weekends. But even that is only a minor inconvenience, mostly.
Except that I've got a wee crisis coming up next weekend. The New Woman suggested a mountaneering trip, I cleared the date with the Ex (i.e. she agreed to keep the kids for the weekend), then she found out about the NW and went back on the arrangement... NW has made special arrangements to have the weekend free - she usually works weekends. Either we take the kids with us (feasible, but a bit early for my taste) or I need to find other arrangements for them.
