Watch out for the girls, Marje.

They're ADORABLE, Marj!

23670. marjoribanks - 2/21/2008 5:26:50 AM

Thanks, ladies.

Also taken on Jan 6, the Feast of the Epiphany.

What gorgeous children, Marj! I can't get over how grown up your oldest two are looking. It seems like just a year ago the first was only barely toddling around.

23673. Ms. No - 2/26/2008 6:48:42 AM

Belated birthday wishes, David!!

Hey Nonny, give us an update. What's been up with you?

23675. arkymalarky - 2/27/2008 10:30:11 PM

It's absolutely all I can do to keep from typing like I talk when I'm mad. If anyone has any helpful advice, besides confirming that I'm an idiot, I welcome it.

I went to a workshop in Hot Springs today that I couldn't get out of. Fine. It was over at noon and I went to La Hacienda, read The Mote, enjoyed a quiet lunch, left to head home, and dropped my Blackberry. Fine. I couldn't find it after looking all around for several minutes, then saw it sitting in a cup of coke I had in the cup-holder. It's taken apart as far as I could without removing screws and is sitting under the fan now. The phone guy said the sugar in the coke was the problem and all I could do was dry it out for several hours and pray.

23676. alistairConnor - 2/27/2008 10:32:43 PM

Divine punishment for drinking too much Coke!

23677. arkymalarky - 2/27/2008 10:41:18 PM

Dammit, I told you I didn't want the idiot confirmation!

Help me, you....tech person!

23678. arkymalarky - 2/27/2008 10:43:16 PM

And besides, I never drink coke at home. They had them at the workshop and I treat myself to them when they're free or I'm having a burger or something. I thought I'd continue to sip on it in the car, which was stupid, because it was flat and the ice was melted. I hadn't taken a sip off it in the car.

23679. judithathome - 2/27/2008 11:38:09 PM

Ooooh, I'm sorry you had that happen. Maybe the melted ice had thinned it enough that it won't do as much damamge.

See? I tried to get you to drink diet!

23680. arkymalarky - 2/27/2008 11:40:05 PM

Hahaha! Y'all are unmerciful!

When Bob gets home he's going to open it up and see what it looks like. I don't have a screwdriver small enough.

23681. arkymalarky - 2/28/2008 5:11:09 AM

Well, I'm posting this on my Blackberry. Thank goodness.

23682. judithathome - 2/28/2008 7:00:06 PM

Yay!! So I guess Coke won't rot your intestines as so many claim it will. ;-)

23683. alistairconnor - 2/28/2008 7:10:21 PM

No, it's just that your Blackberry is stronger than your intestines.

I just went and bought a suit. I'm ashamed to say I haven't had a presentable one for a couple of years. Since I just talked my way into a nominal promotion, on the grounds that I'm doing a lot of consulting-type work these days, I thought I'd better walk the walk.

The brand name is Julio Faggi. How's that for metrosexual chic?

23684. alistairconnor - 2/28/2008 7:11:28 PM

... how do you like my Faggi suit?

23685. Magoseph - 2/28/2008 7:53:52 PM

This one?

23686. alistairConnor - 2/29/2008 12:17:11 AM

Same brand, similar cut, a uniform grey. Pure wool, excellent quality and value. Thought I'd better start conservative, I'll go back for a slightly flashier number later if I get the job that I won't talk about yet because that would bring bad luck.

23687. arkymalarky - 2/29/2008 12:44:49 AM

Well good luck on the job you don't want to bring bad luck to by talking about it.
