25674. arkymalarky - 9/13/2009 4:47:42 PM Maybe it'll kick in in the next few weeks. I know they take a while.
I've got to get on Facebook on a computer. I can't do anything on my phone except get things that go to my account. I could upload pics, but it's a hassle. 25675. iiibbb - 9/15/2009 12:42:17 AM I have a new netbook. It is pretty cool. It's a Lenovo S12... sort of bridges the gap between a netbook and a laptop... I wanted a bigger screen and a keyboard you could actually touch type on. Not huge performance, basically a lateral move from my 5-yr-old laptop, but these things are quite inexpensive and weigh less than 3 lbs.
I can't imagine ever going with less than a 12" screen. 25676. judithathome - 9/21/2009 6:16:41 PM After 8 days of no phone service and only sporadic DSL connection, my phone and DSL line are working properly. The technician even gave me his private cell number to call if it happens again.
I suspect it is because we gave him biscuits and jam when he arrived early yesterday. ;-) 25677. Ms. No - 9/22/2009 5:12:10 AM Keoni's biscuits? The man will be camping out in your yard! 25678. judithathome - 9/22/2009 4:45:18 PM Yep...they certainly worked on ME! 25679. iiibbb - 9/22/2009 5:36:19 PM not having a good day. 25680. arkymalarky - 9/22/2009 7:45:11 PM Hmm. Why not? 25681. magoseph - 9/27/2009 4:03:22 PM This is just a test. 25682. judithathome - 9/27/2009 5:32:28 PM It worked! 25683. magoseph - 9/27/2009 6:15:28 PM Yes, thanks much! 25684. magoseph - 9/27/2009 6:21:51 PM The Mote Cafe

Look at the time, something is wrong--I can't figure out what it is--too stressed out, I guess. 25685. arkymalarky - 9/27/2009 7:13:46 PM Hey Mags!
You will probably have to reset your time in the mote options. 25686. magoseph - 9/27/2009 7:15:07 PM Hey, Judith, if I had a botttle of dark red wine right now, I would call a helper and go to sleep. 25687. Ms. No - 9/28/2009 2:27:24 AM Oooh, I want a helper and to go to sleep!
Can we get a Constitutional Amendment for that?
Good to see you Mago! 25688. robertjayb - 9/28/2009 6:28:22 PM Lucy in the sky with diamonds dies
It's not about drugs...
LONDON (AP) -- Lucy Vodden, who provided the inspiration for the Beatles' classic song ''Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,'' has died after a long battle with lupus. She was 46.
25689. alistairconnor - 9/29/2009 6:22:51 PM I've got an offer on my house. It's almost my asking price.
The relief is enormous, but mostly I just want to cry.
These last few days we've been visiting houses to buy, we were all excited about one place and re-visited it with a friend who's an interior architect, but it could be a real dog... needs a lot of work.
And I got punched by my stepson again. He's having trouble taking his medication. He really needs it, but it makes him feel stupid. 25690. iiibbb - 9/29/2009 6:52:02 PM congrats Alistair...
Our fingers are crossed. The people that are renting our house work for a construction firm. If they company lands a certain project in the area they plan on being there for 5 or mor years, which would mean they want to buy a house. Right now they are hedging by renting.
Our realtor tells us that the odds of the project going down are about 90% in her estimation.
So we might wind up with an offer from our current tenants, who apparently love the house, and are putting a lot of energy into the landscaping. I see this as a hopeful sign for us. 25691. Dubai Vol - 9/29/2009 7:17:16 PM Well, I've just had the worst day of my life, by far.
This morning I signed away all rights to two years' salary from my former employer. Not a big deal, relatively speaking, because tonight I went to marriage counseling with my wife and the counselor told me "she sounds really determined to end your marriage, let's talk about a divorce ritual." It was the result I expected, but still not a good day. And I still think my wife is making a big mistake, for herself, but hey, I made every effort.
So next time you think you are having a bad day, I got you trumped.
25692. iiibbb - 9/29/2009 7:34:09 PM Sorry Dubai.
I thought mine almost go there... but what I had to do to make the save has been a big drain.
As far as my crappy day last week... which was pretty crappy, things later in the week helped recover it.
But I won't claim worse than yours... 25693. alistairConnor - 9/29/2009 11:15:07 PM Well I've been there too Dube. Five years I've been divorced, it was pretty bad for a while, but it got better, and it still gets better every day.
(I thought at the time that that my wife made a big mistake for herself. I no longer think so, but I suspect that she does. Too bad.)
Today is a momentous day for me, gut wrenching. Having the certainty that I'm actually going to sell my house is a lot different from merely deciding to sell it. I've had it for twenty years, near enough, and it's a large chunk of my identity. This is it (just in case one of you folks wants to buy it...)
