Just so I don't forget, I was gone last week at a Boy Scout summer camp with my troop. This Thursday I'll be leaving for the Junior Leader Training course I'm on staff for. I teach younger Scouts how to be leaders. I'll be gone until August 11. I may have internet access there, but I don't know.
I'll be heading for parts Northern on Wed., the first, but will check in here first! Back either late Mon. the 6th. or Tuesday the 7th. I'm not sure yet. I expect to have very little internet access, but if I get any, I will come here and check for messages. I can't be sure of accessing my e-mail, I found out.
As of Thursday, Aug 2, I will be off-line for prolly about a week. That's the day the movers come, and the bad men will snatch Mr Mac from my loving arms. I trust Faldage will keep me apprised of the goings-on here.
I have failed to answer some PMs, and I apologize for that. The dern thang takes too long to load, and I am now in a frenzied packing mode.
I will miss you all. Behave yourselves during my absence
... Happy trails, Avy and Jackie; boa viagem, Marianna -- and JazzO, congrats on your status as "Linguaphile of the Month."
Be careful, Faldage! The cat might be away, but she left a camera to record all the mice at play. Cards and cigars now, but runnin' for our lives next week, it is!
What's the word for movers who call up at the time they're due to announce they are postponing pick-up to the next day, after you've practically arranged your entire life around them?
~~~ ...and yes, Sparteye. Spies will be at work during my absence.
>What's the word for movers who call up at the time they're due to announce they are postponing pick-up to the next day, after you've practically arranged your entire life around them?
well, if they *did call at the time they were due to announce they were postponing, just what is your complaint; he asked duplicitously.
Yeah, tsuwm. When I re-read that I didn't understand it mah own self. But if we work vewwy vewwy hard, we can parse it out somehow to arrive at the intended meaning. Double entendre, schmouble entendre. [no emoticon here]
A spell can be cast ... the waters of Lethe used to subdue the memories of those who would seek to rat us out! Respectfully suggested by your High Priestess, wow
In case anyone was worried because they hadn't heard from me, my poor handicapped computer has gone to the big LAN in the sky. I am waiting for a friend to remember to give me one he has in his basement. He swears he will remember. Otherwise, next Monday I'm at Best Buy. I'll be back.
your timing couldn't have been better for this post, J! just yesterday Sparteye and i were lamenting the lack of a nickname for you (we'd been pondering how we'd address each other IRL ~ with our board names or our real names, or whether we'd vacillate wildly).
and whom, pray tell, did you have in mind for Grumpy®; hmmm?? Well, if you're volunteering, Sweetheart...
just yesterday Sparteye and i were lamenting the lack of a nickname for you Oh, I don't like that! It unnerves me to think that people were talking about me; I can never imagine that anyone ever gives me a thought unless I am with them...eek. [shrinking violet e]
Rhonda, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of these little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.
