Patty's Ponderings |
10/31/2001
 The little girl next door is learning trick or treat. Say hello to Sierra. She is waiting to play with my grandbaby when he comes for Christmas, and has already adopted Princess. I'm waiting for a picture of grandson in his dinosaur costume. We found out that Zen REALLY likes books, and expects them to be read to him. Seems he enjoyed story time at the bookstore this morning, but didn't understand about the lady who was reading a perfectly good book and her lips weren't even moving. From what I hear, he decided to take it to somebody who knew how to read. Bet she was surprised!! 10/30/2001
Junie and Kevin wanted pics to show their friends, so I helped them out a bit. You can click on their links to see how wonderful they turned out. My big sister is a grandma too, so when Mom sent me pics, I made her a page. They aren't anything but a collection of pictures, but at least a person can send a link instead of all the pics by email. Then you can look at them when you are ready instead of having your email box clogged up. (Hint, Hint, Phil, who just sent 2.6 mg file to somebody who only gets a boonie-style 26,400 connect--Boo!) 10/29/2001
Bruno! heh! I heard from Bruno! He's the guy what turned me on so in high school but I wasn't allowed to like him because he was (you're not gonna believe this one, folks...) Italian! 10/28/2001
Ty didn't even see Bambi, and what's more he got sick and couldn't come to church today. Judith shared some interesting news from "CHICAGO - The war on terrorism took a strange and sad turn Friday when airline officials at O'Hare International Airport refused to let a 73-year-old grandmother board her plane as she had in her possession two six-inch knitting needles. Apparently authorities were worried that she might knit an Afghan." Thanks, Judith. Just what is this world coming to? I heard on TV that cocaine use is on the decline because the white powder has been targeted for anthrax. Don't know if Donna and Joan will find this spot, but I've been thinking about Joan's momma who died this week, recalling the fun times we had with her in BUNCO and on the Panther Express. Yes, I have moved away and hadn't seen them for quite a while, but I will always keep Lois alive in my heart. Peace and rest, Momma! Welcome home. Mike preached today from Micah, Crux verse 6:8--"He has told you, O man, what is proper, and what the LORD really wants from you: He wants you to promote justice, to be faithful, and to live obediently before your God." This was in reference to 1:1 "This is the prophetic message that the LORD gave to Micah of Moresheth. He delivered this message during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The prophecies pertain to Samaria and Jerusalem." The people wanted to save their country from outside terror by "appeasing God" and wanted to know what gifts to bring Him, how much it would cost to get God to favor them again. The prophet's answer is as for us today, to live a life responsive to His will for you (I add, rather than fighting against Him or imposing your own will). My response: Sometimes it seems easier to give up things than to allow the creator/sustainer to indwell you. It can be more comfortable to give money than to give of yourself. It is quicker to turn away from disturbing situations than to proactively work to bring about justice, peace, and harmony. Max and Judy--prayers for you both. Max, for your peace, and Judy for you to hear the call of your heavenly father in accordance with your mother's prayers. God be with you both. Love you. 10/27/2001
I don't know, boonies is good. We are getting ready for the annual Halloween arson. Seems some heartless cops came by and confiscated the tires that were being carefully gathered for the celebration, so June and Regenia are trying to get them to take their old ones. Can't get rid of stuff you want to, though. Seriously, though, people are getting ready. Like the house a couple doors from me that is vacant: the people that own it actually put wheels on the car that's been on blocks for a couple years and drove it away just in case. They also had a practice arson that was just a tire or two just past my house on the side of the road. I mean, a guy has to be ready for Halloween so he can do it up right. Saw Ty this morning at the Cafe. He said he was going hunting later today to shoot Bambi. Can't wait till tomorrow to see if he did or not. Said he didn't get any squirrels, but rabbit season is coming in and he likes rabbit better anyway. If you don't know Ty, he's maybe 5 years old. Cute, cute! 10/26/2001
I remember a discussion not too very long ago about why we chose the partner-for-life we did. Today I'm thinking, why did our partner-for-life choose us? I mean, I know Hubby was impressed with my math skills, but, geez, like, why did Tommy's wife, for instance, choose him? 10/25/2001
Help me out... I got this question in email and don't have a clue what to answer:
The situation: Let's say that you are a photographer, snapping pictures for a news service. You are traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes in the Middle East and there is a huge flood in progress. Many lives have been lost, water supplies compromised and structures destroyed. As you make your way across the water-drenched land, you observe a person who is being swept away by the flood waters; it is none other than that heinous coward, Osama bin Laden. At this point, he is barely clinging to life from a tree limb and is about to go under. You can either: put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb. So, here's the question (think carefully before you answer): Which lens would you use? (Thanks, Judith) 10/24/2001
 (caption) Perdue chickens, mostly dead from falling off a company semitruck, are strung along side of Kentucky Highway 69 North near the entrance of Ohio County Park on Monday. About 6,000 live chickens were on the truck but no numbers were given on how many were lost in the accident. (Body of Story)A Perdue semitruck carrying 6,000 chickens lost its load Monday around 11 a.m. on Kentucky Highway 69 North.According to Larry Morris, Ohio County Emergency Management Agency deputy, the truck driven by Charles "Woody" Everley was heading south when it rounded a sharp curve and caused the truck's load to shift. 10/23/2001
Thought I'd take just a minute to say I don't even have a minute. Seems a gal gets backed up when she's off visiting grandbaby. Be back soon. Oh, I was gonna say, though, about working for yourself and all: I suppose I always knew it, but just got it into words--you don't get sick so much maybe because if you have to pass gas you just do it, and it doesn't tighten up your innards. Things like that. And taking naps between phone calls with nobody thinking you are costing them money, and that's if you get enough time. Well, that should be enough for you to think about until I get things caught up a bit. 10/21/2001
 Okay. For those of you without broadband (like me): I am home now, and have my tools handy. The grandson picture has been shrunk to a manageable size. Please try it again. Yes, I have more, and if you click on the one to the left you can see a larger version of Zen playing with his paternal grandmother; I'll be making a page and linking from here when it is done. We did get home in good time and safely, and were welcomed quite warmly by Snickers and Princess. Refreshed and invigorated, we are ready to head into a new week.Tried to get a pic of the billboard that makes me laugh, but it is too far and we drive to fast to catch it. Anyway, it is Tattoo Charlie's--Tattoos while you wait. Get it? lol 10/20/2001
Headed home in the morning. Seems like we've been gone forever, but also seems like we just got here. For those who are asking about Snickers and Princess, not to worry. Sierra is seeing to their need for loving. We're sad to be missing church tomorrow, but we just have to from time to time if we are to get any time at all with the family. It's not like some people who are lucky enough to live near most of their people. Ours all live away, witness the LD bill. It'll make next week that much more special. Somebody got a dinosaur outfit to wear for trick-or-treat and story time. Hope he likes it! No prob, though, his momma does, and that is where he takes most of his clues. Backatcha tomorrow from home. 10/19/2001
 Got a pic in here of wonderful Grandson Zen so click on the pic to see him. He's beautiful. No doubt but that he got the best of each of his parents and grandparents!! 10/18/2001
Here I am at sonshine's house. Grandbaby is already in bed asleep, but that's okay. That means so much earlier in the morning we'll get to see him! We had a nice trip (thanks for asking Judith) with a sunny day all the way, trees beautiful as they change color against the sky and the evergreens. The mountains in particular are gorgeous. Not foiled, though, just gorgeous. (inside joke, I think) Plus I hope to get a picture of the sign near Louisville that always makes me laugh. Nobody will believe me if I just say its advertisement, so I'll wait till I can get a pic and post it. I've been looking at two "churches" we pass on the way here. Since seeing the Muslim information, I now recognize one as a Muslim Mosque. The other I'm still not sure of. It has a dome on top and the crosses on it kinda open on each cross end to remind me of Easter lilies. I put that here to help me remember to look it up when I get home. I always watch as we go through Zanesville OH since we have ancestors that lived there. I can almost feel them walking among the old buildings. One of them burnt since the last time we came through. It's kinda sad, in a way, when the old stuff goes. Oh, another thing I like on the way is Wheeling WV. For instance, the pager and digital cellular ad posted on a building that looks to be from the 18th century. It's kind of amusing, and almost breaks the mood of the old part of town. Here is something I like about Pittsburgh... the same thing as I like about Chicago... well, two things I noticed today: in the dark, when there is lots of traffic where there are no streetlights and you see two rows of cars with headlights coming toward you, two of red taillights ahead of you, and they streak like ribbons through the hills as you drive. The other is the accents of the people. I love to hear the different languages and accents. Thinking they might have enjoyed mine, too, as they were smiling the whole time I was talking, and we were in line for quite a while. Not that I have one. Well, hello for today, and seeya next time. Send me an email or leave a comment if you can tell from my sketchy description what kind of church has the dome and those kinds of crosses on top. 10/17/2001
Okay, Dude. When I get a minute sometime I'll link Anna Maria up here. Guess she'll have to let me know where her site is. She took it down some time ago for fear of copyright infringement, and because she didn't want anybody to think she was, well, sexy or something. That was the story she gave me and so far she's sticking with it. Good to seeya anyway. (Speaking of pix, checkem out when I get back from visiting the grandbaby!) Judith, dear, YOU are supposed to sing Sunday, did you forget? And no, I didn't forget to post. geez. I'm sleeping all the way to Pittsburgh tomorrow, so have to stay up tonight. Trying to get some of these machines together. I'm not as quick as Bobby C. He's the best, and I'm just a country girl. Plus I might take a bath tonight too. Even if it isn't Saturday. I'll probably not get one Saturday night on account of not going to church Sunday. Okay, in case you didn't notice yesterday I said we went to OBO and shopped and ate (at MoonLite). I didn't mention, though, that I stopped in to see Tommy, Mr ntn himself. He is so lucky! I've been really annoyed this week. Somebody said something about bin Laden knocking out all the sports satellites. Well, he didn't, and the baseball games are playing on my Judge Judy channel. How am I supposed to learn anything? I did see a little of Judge Joe Brown today, though. He kinda lost his temper at the boy who said he shot a girl without aiming his gun at her, so it wasn't his fault. Speaking of bin Laden, I wonder when Germans hear his name which meaning of "laden" they would take it to mean? Yes, thank you, I do have very deep thoughts. Just this morning I was thinking about being a teacher and would I like to teach 4th grade. Don't know. I'd probably get the wild kids. Funny thing, though, and Colleen can already vouch for this, ALL kids turn wild when I get around them. Wonder why? but they also get tired pretty quickly. I can get them to sleep quite easily. Which reminds me again that I get to see my grandbaby tomorrow. Mr "He'll love Winnie the Pooh until he can SAY he doesn't" is going to get some Pokemon stuff. Don't y'all worry none... I ain't a'drivin'. He is. Rosey-Posey, seeya on the downside of next week. 10/16/2001
This link, Atheist Professor vs Christian Student, is to sort of a long anecdote that Phil sent me in May, 1999. I don't think he wrote it, but he may have. If not, I'd appreciate anybody letting me know who the author is so that I can give appropriate credit. I'd like to have put it here, but it is too long. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts. Hubby's birthday today, and we took the day off and went all the way to Owensboro to shop and eat and shop. He just loved it, don't you know. Well, something else new! I believe I've done it! I've installed the "BlogBack" feature after only umpteen hundred tries!!!! Click on (Add comment) at the end of any section, and you can post your agreement to all my fine observations, and also say how witty you find my writing. Come on! Make my day!! 10/15/2001
Judith--I don't want to hear anything about your access speed on cable. Just hush.
Fall is setting in ever so nicely: leaves turning, gentle breezes and some not so gentle, a little rain here and there. Soon it will be time to turn the clocks back and I'll only be one hour ahead of AZ. heh. Then I'll be able to catch Judith on the puter. Somebody's birthday is tomorrow and I have to take him to the famous MoonLite for lunch. mmmmmmm....... if you haven't been there, you can't even imagine what you're missing! Anyway, time to hit 50 again. Wonder if you hit it hard enough it'll go away... but then I suppose when it goes away it becomes 60 instead of 40, so oh well.... 50 again is fine. I guess if I had to be serious, the question I'd have is about what a person can feel (temptation or whatever). Like if you decide to diet then suddenly there is all that chocolate. But I don't feel like getting into serious stuff, so oh well. And, BC, you are right about people too much into material things, and the importance of getting it right with God first and foremost. I don't know how you know that, and sometimes I wonder about the past years and if you changed or if it is a head thing, or if the tuff stuff was the playing, and and and.... but none of that matters. What matters is today and now. Oh, somebody told an Arab joke and was immediately jumped on for being unkind (politically incorrect) and fostering hate. I saw it as a thought provoking anecdote, but I can see where it could be inappropriate. I'd take some feedback on it though. Meanwhile, I'm about out of here for the night. God bless, take care. 10/13/2001
So now you have to sign in wherever you go in case there is an evacuation. This is to make sure everybody inside made it out. Also it gives a record of who was in and out in case somebody did something they weren't supposed to do. Well, okay. So I was thinking.... Who can tell me what it will be like to be part of a war here at home? Will we have rations? lose our homes? go without food? Should this be something to think about? or shall we go on with life, and consider the Terrorist war to be similar to fighting drug wars.... They both affect people around us, but somebody else is doing the fighting? And will people quit buying computers? Hoping they continue to want access to the internet for free exchange of ideas, etc. MNID folks wonder if there is a god, or God, not necessarily tied to the terrorism thing, but just because. JJ, I don't understand how you can NOT hear Him, see Him, feel Him, particularly with the witness your mother gives in her life, and particularly now in her dying. Belief in God is not a crutch or security blanket, not something somebody does so they don't have to face evil, death, etc. in fear. Ernie said,
No, it doesn't cost extra to live as though there is an "after life", and it isn't so very hard. Unfortunately, playing nice doesn't buy your way to an after life with the Creator/Sustainer. Neither does growing a long beard or covering your face and arms and legs; nor going to church whenever the doors are open; nor giving all you have to the poor. Acts of kindness are a result of the relationship with Him, an overflowing and sharing of the blessings he bestows; resurrection and life everlasting are his gift to those who love Him. The question arises from time to time, "Who wants to live a gazillion years singing and bowing to somebody?" I question back, "Who said that is what it's all about?" Please pray for William and his family, JJ and Max, by name. Thanks. 10/12/2001
Anthrax in Evansville, Anthrax in Owensboro, or at least some really sick people playing some really sick jokes. AND a terrorist group right in Evansville. Go figure. What I don't like is the news media all out for a story. Question posing by WKU interviewer, "How serious is the threat? Everybody is scared to death about this stuff and we just don't know enough." Like, I don't think everybody is scared to death. I'm not scared to death. I still let God be in control of my time. It isn't a scare, a fear, it is an awareness. So, if we're all gonna die, we may as well do the credit thing huh? enjoy what little time we have left? Thing is, he and I can't enjoy being in debt, so we'll continue on our meager fixed income and what little I charge in the shop. Jeff lost his doggie. (see links from cartoons on computer pages for a sample of his work) anom shared this with mnid, and I pass it on to all of you who know the feeling:
The dogs are happy and content, except for one thing--they each miss someone very special to them who they had to leave behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. He sees you! When you meet, you cling together in joyous reunion never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once again into the trusting eyes of your dog, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together... 10/11/2001
Sprinkle, sprinkle, little tink... rain all day, but only sprinkle so's you don't know whether to get wet or stay in. Guess my shopping is done, and Jim brought me some parts to be working on. Well, no laptops on the way, though. My monitor people didn't call me back and let me order, so I guess they got upset when I didn't like the ones they sent not working. Oh well. But I found some anyway. AND the computer show will be coming up before I need more, so ...... It was good to listen to Will and Bobby talking about win2000. I learned some things. I always learn some things. And no, I didn't get to go to see my boy, girl and grandbaby. Not this time. Next week for real. If you get to any of the school auctions and see computers up for bids, bid high! help them out! you know I always take them back in trade. You'll get your money's worth that way if no other. Pres gave his practiced speech quite nicely. Glad I'm not the pres. Bet he's glad he isn't me, too, but oh well. Not everybody can appreciate the good things in the laid back simple life. Not everybody is suited to the boonies. I miss Bill. They wouldn't have DARED to mess with the USA when Bill was in charge. Say your prayers, and please include me. I'm praying for you. 10/10/2001
It's so hard to shop online! You have to think of things. Like, which company didn't you check yet, and who had what price for which item with which add-ons. Man, it gets a girl tired for sure. I'm still hanging with mostly the ComputerGeeks and their sister Evertek, but I guess Maventech will have to get a call for the monitors. I suppose it would be a lot easier to shop if a gal could get her stuff in the day she ordered it and get it set up so she knows what she still needs. She has a lot of trouble keeping things straight. Oh, so THAT is why I put my inventory on access. hmmmmmm...... Maybe I better get it updated a bit, huh? Kevin, if you are out there, I have another job for you. Wish you'd get your stuff together so I could call you when a job comes in. To the fella who asked me to put up nekkid pics of myself, and says he promises not to give out the links or to show them to very many of his friends: heh. No duh! As sonshine said many years ago, it would gross them out!! Funny how guys can be. We've been asked to remember William and his family in prayer. They are covered up with reasons to wonder if God cares anymore. Please pray for them. Hey, go figure! I tried to put this up and the blogger dudes said I have to wait 4 minutes. If I were a slow typist, time would be up by now, but no, I have to be a durned fast typist and think of something else to put on here. Oh! I got into a drive that had been eaten by a virus... nearly everything except the temporary internet files were gone! That is actually the first time I've accessed an eaten up drive. vehhhhrrrrryyy interesting! 10/7/2001
I'm so thankful the news reports of today's happenings didn't start until 11:00 or after our time. I wouldn't have missed church this morning for the world. Brother has grown so, and his blessings have increased and multiplied. Healing abounds. Thank you Heavenly Father, I have my brother back. Sisters, be prepared. If you haven't spent time with brother lately, you are in for a definite blessing. What a feeling to have the opportunity to share with mother just a bit of what she gave us as children... faith, love, support. Thanks Mom. Love you. And Dad. Where do you fit in? Your prayers are being answered. Thanks for praying for all of us. So, Pete is having a birthday Tuesday. Celebrate! Dance to the music! Many more wonderful years! God bless you, Pete. Today instead of just kinda liking you and enjoying you and admiring your musicianship, I also began to love you. It's funny how when you open your heart to love somebody, you are the one who receives the joy. Thank you, Pete, for being there today and every time I visit. Yes, I talk about these things today rather than the military strikes overseas. What happened in this little church today is evidence of the spirit that is moving across the country, the world, and is far more powerful than bombs. So, too, is our witness to the people as we drop supplies to them to help them survive the hard times they must endure until they are free from the current reign of terror. It has been a good day, and returning home to a puppy wagging and licking and jumping all over me brings it to a perfect, peaceful, joyful close. 10/6/2001
I don't know about wealth/poverty/means-testing and all that--I'm just glad we don't have kids at home anymore... The Federal Poverty Guidelines. Actually, I'm not really glad they aren't here (We think of son and wife and grandbaby every single day) just glad we don't have to support them on our "fixed income". Remembering a song somebody sang a few years back. Something like this, "Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not so easy, sometimes I feel like I can't go on. Then I remember what really makes it easy, being with you and singing my song." More to it, of course. (I get tickled when I look at what I write... somebody, sometimes, something.... not so creative, huh?) Anyway, I'm not exactly thinking of Hubby and how being wrapped in his arms still makes me feel safe and warm, but more of the ups and downs in my moods, or my days, and how I used to feel during the "not so easy" days that it would always be that way. It's a lot easier now, being able to think on good times, good days, easy days, when things get a bit tuff. (Yes, I know it's supposed to be spelled t-o-u-g-h, but there's a story behind that one too.) Besides, things ARE easier when you live in the boonies and take just TAKE it easier! heh! go figure. Mom said this is who Dad is reading (in response to who son is reading posted yesterday): I think I have a secret that I guess I'm not supposed to tell. So I won't. It has to do with where I'm going to church tomorrow and why. Clue: Jon will be at Dad's. 10/5/2001
I've been talking to son. The following links are from that exchange of ideas: Albert Ellis SMART Recovery in Jacksonville Florida - Information about Recovery from alcohol , drug and substance abuse, alcohol, drug and substance addiction, compulsive behavior Medieval Sourcebook: Mansur al-Hallaj: Sayings INDOlink Kidz-Korner - Twam Tat Asi On Monday I asked about Mikey and his story. I got email with the link to it. I think it is important that everybody should read this story. I mean, I have, as have many of us, several times. Mike's Story Yesterday was such a busy day I got tired and didn't even post. I had to get up very early (It was before 8 am, I'm sure), and take Princess for her spay. Poor darling. She came home so woozy, and just didn't understand why she couldn't chase any kitties or toads. She's much better today, thank you, and doesn't seem to be very sore at all.
Angie needs to have her name mentioned here, too, since she keeps me beautiful. What part of yourself do you see most often? Think.... yes, it's your hands. Especially if you spend much time at a computer, which, if you're reading this, you must spend SOME time at one, and some of that being rather bored, so......anyway, if your hands aren't beautiful, you can't possibly feel like you are at your best. So, Angie, once again, thank you. You're great! Here, I'll show y'all what I'm talking about.... To see a bigger pic (yeah, right) Click here. Here are links to two fairly close computer shows. They are more for my benefit than yours, because I keep forgetting about them. I need to go to one of them very soon. Nashville Computer Shows | Louisville Computer Show 10/3/2001
heh. It figures. I finally start a weblog and the people say their host filed for bankruptcy. Might be a little disturbance here before long as they switch servers or co-location hosts or whatever. So. Oh well. Guess I can hand whop the thing if I have to. Nobody is reading this thing, which is probably a good thing, because the thing wasn't meant to be a thing of beauty, and isn't that something to say about the thing? lol Anyway, nobody is emailing me, and there is a link at the bottom of the page to tell me what you think. Except, well, Judith, who really had something in her head on that one day. oops! I'm mad at her anyway because she is getting cable modem and I'm still stuck at 26,400. pffffhhhhhhttttt or however she spells it. Okay, so here is a link, too, to my feedback form in case you want to email me and forgot my address. I mean, like, how could you? So anyway I had to do some shopping today. I have too many half systems to put together, and I had to get the mb's for the at's and the cases for the atx's; the mb's for the socket 7's and the cpu's for the slot 1's. So then, I found the ones (cases) with the translucent blue to match, sorta, the mouse and keyboard sets I got in a couple weeks or so ago. That'll be cute. Still have that nice Compaq system everybody wants, but nobody seems to buy. Too much system, I think. I mean, it's REAL, and it's a great buy for somebody. But no CD burner. Waah! Check it out here: A picture of the same type item and a 17" monitor and printer come with it. You can send me email if you want it or know somebody who does. Hoping to sell it before the warranty expires so somebody can purchase the extension. I thought of something important to worry about today, but I forget what it was. Sorry. You'll have to worry about your own stuff. 10/2/2001
THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT: 1. Worry about your biggest worry being whether it was okay to retire early. 2. Worry that you can't remember what to worry about so you can add it to your list. Well, that was my list for the day. No, wait! I have another list: Oh, that list would be far too long to complete. I just don't have time. You might say that some of us are dealing with new puppies that aren't exactly fully trained yet. Mine has learned the meaning of "stay". It means to sit on your haunches while Mommy goes for the mail, and kinda scooch along and see how close to the road you can get before Mommy notices you didn't "stay" in the same place she left you. If Daddy forgets to say "stay" it must mean it's okay to run into the road this time, so why did Mommy put me in my place without petting? I did some very important serious thinking today, too, but I forget what it was. 10/1/2001
p.s. Judy and Max, I'm thinking of you. God bless you both, and Max, yes; my prayers include your hopes for Judy.
Hiya, Tommy! I know you're looking. Remember your promise to let me know when the dude and the wizard decide to hit the bar-b-q pit. Wouldn't miss that for anything. Well almost anything. If it's the same time as a trip to see my grandbaby, well, you know where my priorities lie! It's a long trip up there, and when Hubby is ready to go, I'm going too! You gotta know that since I gave up a chance to see Mikish, huh? and hurry up and get to work. I'm eager to be a walking billboard. Been reading all the threads about taxes kinda halfways, and just thought I'd say I'm doing my share in collecting them and turning them in. Yes, the end of the third quarter already. Any day now Buirrell can stop reminding me that's where all my money goes. BTW, did anybody ever hear about Mikey's trials and tribulations? I heard something about it but don't really remember. I wonder if he put up a web page about it anywhere? If you find it, you can email me and let me know. OH!! and did you know that people who live in Kennesaw are required to own guns? I never heard if they had to keep bullets, too, though. Let's see. Anything happen today? Did I learn anything? Did you? LOL Mom sent a touching WTC memorial email. I'm looking also at the satellite picture of the island after the attack. Takes a while to download on my 26400 connect, but I'm glad I waited. I have it as wallpaper and it makes me think. (Thanks Wally.) Lynn said, "As bad as it looks on TV you really can't grasp the hugeness of it until you look at this." I was thinking more the opposite; thinking the rubble is just a small part of the picture, which is a small part of the island, which is a small part of NYC, which is a small part of NY, which is a small part of the US. No matter how great the tragedy, we will survive. Heck, we'll THRIVE! |
