20608. judithathome - 11/24/2006 10:25:43 PM That's okay, Wonk...we've been making Michael Jackson joke all day! 20609. Magoseph - 11/27/2006 3:59:46 PM Hello, everyone--did you have a nice weekend? Have you gone shopping last Friday? 20610. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/27/2006 4:28:57 PM Hi Mags! Great weather, ,went on hikes and avoided crowds & shopping totally. 20611. Magoseph - 11/27/2006 4:53:49 PM We too advantage of the nice weather too, Wiz, and certainly stayed away from the crowds. Eldest son wanted to take us to the Loop, window shopping--he had the trip by train (no way that we could persuade Flexy to go by car) all worked out along with a nice dinner and a stay overnight in a nice hotel. I had to say that it was impossible for us, at least for Flexy at this time.
Tell me, Wiz, did you notice that Mac has not been around for a while? Is it my imagination or did I detect in one of his last posts, some impatience with the way we were behaving? I miss him.
20612. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/27/2006 5:44:39 PM I understand and know eggzackly how you feel.
Wrt Mac, "we" being you and me, specifically, or everyone. I am so bad at discerning tone and meaning through words that you should ask anyone else around here, rather than me. I hope I haven't tread on anyone's toes! 20613. alistairconnor - 11/27/2006 6:50:47 PM Mac is certainly big enough and ugly enough to speak for himself... I can attest to this...
Maybe it's my fault? Perhaps he never quite recovered from meeting a "real live" Motist this summer? 20614. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/27/2006 8:18:48 PM Yeah, I can relate–I got a queazy feeling after meeting tful & wonkers!
[giggle] 20615. Magoseph - 11/27/2006 8:23:43 PM tful & wonkers? did you fall in love with them, Wiz?
As for Mac, all I can say, Ali, is that it's just too bad that he and I are both married and that he’s much too young for me--otherwise, I would ask you to direct me to where I can find him so that I can ask him directly why he's abandoning us. 20616. Magoseph - 11/27/2006 8:28:12 PM By the way, Wiz, talking about … discerning tone and meaning through words… I know that I always mean what I say, but unlike you I don't always say what I mean. 20617. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/27/2006 9:28:35 PM No, the queasiness was meant as a joke and see, I'll always be the king of misdirected meanings! 20618. judithathome - 11/28/2006 12:22:29 AM Back from my swim and it was spooky...I went into to the pool room and the surface of the pool was absolutely glass-like because no one was there and obviously hadn't been for hours.
It was great, though, having the entire pool and dry sauna to myself! 20619. wonkers2 - 11/28/2006 1:45:15 AM I've met three Moties in person, all male. I leave the women to The Cap'n. Some day we should have a motie convention in an exotic place. 20620. arkymalarky - 11/28/2006 2:57:43 AM I've loved visiting irl with all the Mote Folks I've met.
I got most of my reading done over the weekend and one paper written, so I was pretty happy with the holiday. I have to edit and format it and do the citations and write up the other one this week. Then the four during Christmas and I'll be on the home stretch and finishing up with one summer class. I can't wait.
I never shop until the week of Christmas because I like school to be out, and rushing around shopping stresses me out while I'm trying to wrap up the semester. 20621. wonkers2 - 11/28/2006 3:26:43 AM Me too! I neglected to say so. 20622. thoughtful - 11/28/2006 4:31:02 PM Well, I think I shocked wiz with my introduction: Hello, I'm thoughtful. 20623. judithathome - 11/28/2006 8:09:46 PM Update on kitty after returning from the vet's today:
Harley's nose fell off due to some sort of fungal infection. Got cream for that and the vet is growing a culture to find out exactly what type the fungal thing is.
She woke up sneezing and now we have a liquid for that. She's not eating today so I will get her baby food meat for that and feed her via a hypo tube. She got a B12 shot and another shot and she is conked out on the rug, lying in the sun.
Two vet vists in 2 weeks: $200
Having Harley: priceless
20624. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/28/2006 8:14:12 PM My nose fell off when I met Tful . . . and that's a big part of my face!
Good luck, Judith.
20625. Magoseph - 11/28/2006 8:26:34 PM Did the fungus make her sick, Judith?
Wiz, why did your nose fall off when you saw Tful?
Wonk, beside Jex, who else did you meet?
Just curious, you two men don’t have to answer me, of course.
20626. judithathome - 11/28/2006 8:32:11 PM No, the nose thing happened last week. She already had the upper respiratory thing and the cold just happened yesterday.
This cat sound like a heap of illnesses but the vet told me she is one of the lucky feral kittens because most die of feline leukemia and she doesn't have that OR feline AIDS. 20627. Magoseph - 11/29/2006 7:50:37 PM Hello, folks,
Standing in the aisle, I realize that I need help to put the large bag of dried dog food and the two cases of canned beef in my cart. I can’t do it, because my back still hurts. I see turning the corner into my aisle a large tall figure. I think, well, here is a man until I realize it isn’t-- it is a woman.
She stops and asks, “What do you want in your cart?” Then she hoists my items as I would my pillows. I ask her, “How did you know I needed help? She smiles and says, “I’m a psychiatrist”. Then, she disappears before I can answer.
At the checkout, I request someone to help me in the parking lot. Here comes this little old woman. By now, I know better than to ask any questions--silently, we go outside where, seemingly without effort, she carefully arranges grocery and dog food in the trunk. Then in my state of confusion, I give her a five instead of the one I usually give for such service.
Women today can't be typecast, I guess--I need a nap.
