20220. Ms. No - 9/19/2006 5:58:06 PM Judith,
The moment you said brisket my first thought was Ronnie!
Arky --- how's his shoulder doing? 20221. Ms. No - 9/19/2006 5:59:26 PM Mago,
You can't just tease us like that.....well, I suppose you can. ;-> I quite like the dream you had, sounds like a lot of fun. Do I get to wield heavy artillery or just the Shoes of Death? 20222. Magoseph - 9/19/2006 9:14:17 PM Shoes like this one might do--the stilettos for the men and the pink points for the the women, that is, onky if they have perfectly rounded derrières. I wouldn't want you to get hurt on bony ones.
20223. Ms. No - 9/19/2006 10:27:16 PM hahaha! Perfect! 20224. wonkers2 - 9/20/2006 12:00:02 AM Cap'n Dirty sez, "How about a sip o' champagne outa them shoes?" 20225. arkymalarky - 9/20/2006 12:19:42 AM Hey No!
We called him after the surgery and he was doing well and staying pain-free. ;-)
Then school started and since then we haven't talked to anyone but teachers and students, it seems. I imagine he's still doing well, but probably won't hear until next summer. He's one of our "same time next year" people. 20226. arkymalarky - 9/20/2006 12:21:41 AM Hey No!

I don't go anywhere any more but here and my email, and sometimes the news. This web accelerator makes things a lot faster, but not consistently enough, and I can't make the time for jack this school year. 20229. alistairconnor - 9/20/2006 10:36:29 AM Mac : Message # 2029
If the Irish economy suddenly collapses (as it may), then I can give you some recipes for cooking those things.
They are not called "cabbage trees" for nothing. 20230. Magoseph - 9/20/2006 11:23:28 AM 
This cabbage tree you cook, Ali?
20231. alistairconnor - 9/20/2006 11:40:42 AM Yes, I've never eaten it myself, but it was a staple for Maori and early European settlers in NZ. The centre of the ball of spiky leaves is a bit like cabbage only starchier. 20232. Magoseph - 9/20/2006 11:59:47 AM Un genre d'artichaut énorme, peut-être. 20233. bubbaette - 9/20/2006 8:53:13 PM So The Perfect World is still a going concern? 20234. Magoseph - 9/20/2006 9:06:13 PM Yes, it's going well--Cal makes tons of money with advertizing in it. 20235. alistairConnor - 9/20/2006 9:37:39 PM Gawwd!
We had some real fights over that.
Everyone's happy now. 20236. arkymalarky - 9/20/2006 11:05:38 PM I am. Just wish I had more time to spend here. 20237. Magoseph - 9/21/2006 12:13:41 AM I'm kind of not so happy today because I had to send this email to a high school principal who went through two Foreign Languages teachers since school started. At first, I thought I could get the job since Flexy is getting better and the salary is excellent, but after discussing the matter with him, I send the following, albeit reluctantly because I hate, REALLY hate not taking a well-paying job.
Dear Mrs. XXXXXXXX,
My husband has made the drive with me to your institute and today he has taken the position that commuting this distance under the conditions existing is neither practical nor safe.
In addition, his present condition, which has deteriorated in the last year, is such that he feels that I should be home on a daily basis.
Therefore, I must regretfully decline your offer of a position.
Best regards,
20238. Magoseph - 9/21/2006 12:17:27 AM Did you see, people--maybe thoughtful is back for good. She posted in American Politics. That just would be terrific! 20239. arkymalarky - 9/21/2006 1:07:09 AM It's too bad you can't teach part time. I can maintain this year's pace knowing it's temporary, but if I need to or choose to I will go to part time within the next five years.
I personally would be very leery about taking a job in a school that has lost two teachers in the same position before the end of September. There's something very wrong with that picture.
