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.
20628. Magoseph - 11/29/2006 7:51:12 PM Glad that Harlette is coming along Judith. 20629. wonkers2 - 11/29/2006 7:55:38 PM The wiz and the guy from St. Louis who had the GOP party line memorized. His name escapes me. He and my wife and I had a nice dinner several years ago when he came to Detroit on business. Darn, what was his name?! He was a part-time musician as I recall. He dropped out from the Mote a couple of years ago. 20630. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/29/2006 9:38:22 PM Bob Dylan? 20631. wonkers2 - 11/29/2006 9:42:09 PM Eureka! It was JJ Biener, no less. Wonder what happened to good ole JJ. When he was around we had a fair number of Republicans. Now we're down to a couple plus a libertarian. 20632. Ms. No - 12/1/2006 9:54:22 AM Howdy folks!
Gah, major computer woes and two research papers, the holiday and the never-ending double-feature saga of Why You Shouldn't Do Business With Family and Why You Shouldn't Own Property 3000 Miles From Where You Actually Live --- have all conspired to keep me away from my fellow Moties.
Bleh!
Hope you are all well and had a good holiday -- mine was great although I really didn't get to cook. I played Sous Chef for my step-dad's mom, but that's not nearly as satisfying as determining the menu and cooking one's self. The company was excellent, though and it was lovely in the Bay Area.
For now, I'm off to bed!
20633. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 12/1/2006 10:48:37 AM Hey Ms. No, here's wishing you a lovelier Yule Tide with better business results in your Christmas stocking, 20634. Magoseph - 12/1/2006 2:01:03 PM Hello, everyone--Ms. No, it's wonderful to hear from you.
Went to the doctor yesterday and had back x-rays--turns out that my left leg has gotten shorter and I must wear some contraption in my shoe.
Wonk, you mentioned some time ago something about this condition, didn't you? My regular shoe store owner is a Board Certified Pedorthist/Shoe Modification Technician. He would be the right person to help me, wouldn't he? 20635. Magoseph - 12/1/2006 4:46:43 PM Six inches now--going strong! Looks as we'll get the 13 inches predicted.
Took Butch out--he was a riot, jumping up and down and once he did his business, heading fast for the house.
