Senility? oh, no...I'm still so young and, excuse the bragging, still so, so...well...active, you know...

16873. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 10:59:47 PM

Oh, wait a sec...you mean deaf? That's okay, I can handle that.

16874. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 11:01:57 PM

So cute, so darling, you were such a doll, I swear.

16875. thoughtful - 10/4/2005 11:10:15 PM

Do you think? A lot of people told me I was a stuffed shirt...

16876. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 11:13:26 PM

Nah, a doll, I say--the big blue eyes, the high aristocratic forehead, the long elegant fingers, just a doll you were.

And is the sickly Flexy .. active .. too?

Mago... tu ne croies pas si bien dire!

About a week ago, there was an e-mail circulated at work, to gravely inform us that one of our colleagues had a potentially serious respiratory complaint, and to summon us to a meeting about it.

I was betting on bird flu... expecting to see the building quarantined... but no, only tuberculosis.

There it is. In six months I'll be romantically coughing blood.

Speaking of aging, my mother is quite something. She told me that she was carded in the store and was just delighted. They didn't believe she was 65 and eligible for the senior discount. Young gal at the counter said my mother looked much younger than her grandmother who was 65. When mom told her she's 80, the girl couldn't believe it and even mentioned it to some of the other gals there.

She walked out of the store on air.

Her uncle is in his 90s and could easily pass for 70. Amazing.

AC...you tu/toi mags? Is there something we should know about???

16881. Magoseph - 10/4/2005 11:49:56 PM

And is the sickly Flexy .. active .. too?

The sickly Flexy is no more-the surgeon told him to come back in a year, his carotid being just fine and in the meantime, to do whatever he’s been doing—which, of course gave him complete license to be more … active…than ever...

Is there something we should know about???

Obviously not, thoughtfull--read the above post. My heart belongs to Daddy here. Besides, I'm much too young for Ali.

Judith Miller is going to be on Lou Dobbs soon.

Arky, you must be busy lately--how's school going?

Hi Mags. I have been somewhat busy because my schedule is very hectic this year and I'm starting graduate school in the spring, but I've been here less because of my slow isp and having only one phone line. School itself is going very well.

Unfortunately I'm about to get extremely busy starting next week, since there is likely to be a special legislative session in January and it is likely to come down very hard on rural and poor schools.

16885. arkymalarky - 10/5/2005 12:19:51 AM

I can't see the Thoughtful picture! :-(

16886. arkymalarky - 10/5/2005 2:02:43 AM

Hoo! I can see it now.

16887. Magoseph - 10/5/2005 6:49:43 AM

I thing I'am aging rapidly.

What do you thing about that?


I wrote the above, earlier today—it’s hard to believe I did this, now that I look at these sentences. Why would I use G instead of K and use an apostrophe when not needed? The two letters are not close to each other, for heaven’s sakes. Thoughtful, I’m going to need some serious help. Ask your mom if she has some anti-aging tips for me, please?

I can’t sleep—maybe Ulgine will come along and keep company with me. Mac is probably at work and I suppose too busy to chat.

We're going to miss you, Arky. One consolation for us: we'll know that you're feeling better than you did last year.

Hello, Mac!

16888. Magoseph - 10/5/2005 6:55:14 AM

Guess from which song comes that line, Mac?

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

16889. PelleNilsson - 10/5/2005 7:33:58 AM

Mac is perhaps not even up yet. It's 6.30 am in Ireland.

16890. Macnas - 10/5/2005 9:52:11 AM

And it's 8.53 right about now.

16891. Macnas - 10/5/2005 9:54:00 AM

Mago, I have yet to have coffee, food or cigarettes. Therefore I am not firing on all four, and have no hope of guessing that tune...

Well that's my excuse.
