He has achieved success who has lived well,

shows as well as I am fond of visiting new places and travelling.
In addition to this I like extreme sport: I adore skiing and rafting.
Surely I visit the gym regularly as find sport is the essence of my life.
I enjoy spending time at the seaside so I go to the Black Sea every summer
and enjoy walking, swimming and visiting the best places in the Crimea.
I am eager to find kind, decent man with a good sense of humor that is
generous, enjoys life, sport and travelling who is ready to share the
whole life with me and appreciate my love, care and attention. Why not drop me a line? http://greatadorelove.com/lovemedia/

Thanks for the very informative lesson on unloading shopping carts.

We just replaced the heat exchangers on both places and are still trying to reprogram the thermostats.
They are almost as bad as computers.

Betty just finished 2 days of craft sales with her jewelry along with a zillion other Leisure Worlders that make stuff.

We are caught up on our dental work until next year---I'm not sure why I even bother trying to save the 7 teeth I have left, but the dentist is a good salesman and he does take care of the hardware.

We both go to the Doctor on a regular basis and we each have minor problems that always seem to require another pill.

At the moment we have no trips planned, but we have received free room deals in Rancho Mirage, Laughlin and Las Vegas and we are thinking! It's difficult to find days that are available to take advantage, but we need to go and give them some of what we have left before the market eats it all.

The Casinos must be hurting!

The garden finished the last cucumber and radishes---The carrots are up. the Swiss Chard is producing and more radishes and lettuce are planted---6 iceberg heads will be ready soon!

Love,
Betty and Old Dad

i've found the dress i want at house of frazer! so we know its a proper (posh!) shop and its £45 not £50 with free delivery :o)

now i could go and try it on I suppose, but all the dresses are 1 size so it's gona fit, I think i'd rather not try it on cos it'll be more of a suprise to not see it in the flesh, or do you think would be wise idea to go and try it?

£45 is good for a main prezzy isn't it? cos you ilife is £55 (not that i've bought it yet) but Im still managing to buy lots of little things as well so there's still money left for the little stocking fillers lol

The original dates you had settle out are the dates I can come if not then I guess THIS LIKE EVERYTHING OTHER SINCE HE WAS 14 AND WITH YOU WILL HAVE TO GO OFF WITHOUT ME = only thing that I played any important in was his birth and raising him until you felt you could and boy howdy talk about fucked up!

The weather here has gone from warm and sunny to wet and chilled. It may change back by the time you all arrive as it often does here in Virginia. The beautiful orange and bright red leaves have all blown off the trees in the last few days because of the high winds we have had here. Hopefully there will be a few left by Thursday for Chiara to see. I have come up with an alternate list of things to do with Chiara, providing her mother agrees. We could walk down to the river to see if we can spot some deer and squirrels. We could ride the mule and or the tractor. We could fire the rife, provided she is at a safe distance and wearing hearing protection. We could make a real big camp fire, climb some trees, forge the creek, shoot the bow and arrow....wow, wait a minute, calm down Uncle Dale, calm down..

I hope that you had a good Halloween yesterday.

I ended up going to the Tivoli to see Death of a President. For a fictional documentary it was very good. Yahoo users gave it a lot of horrible reviews, but there were some good reviews with the bad. The bad reviews really did not say anything about the movie. The reviewers mostly rambled on about the subject of the movie and how dare someone make a movie about the fictional assignation of Bush. After reading about 4 or 5 of these F reviews in a row I was wondering if they even seen the movie. It seemed like they were probably all members of the same Republican group or strong Bush supporters. I am glad that I went to see it. I will have to head over to yahoo and post my review and help balance out all those Fs.

After the show I walked down to Starbucks for my over priced Mocha Latte then browsed around in Good Works furniture. They have some cool furniture that is not priced to bad. I never have spent much time on the Loop. I think it would be fun to hang out there sometime. Preferably with someone else.

After all that I decided to go to Clem’s. At first I was bored and was ready to leave. I generally don’t like to go out on Halloween it’s to hard to tell who is in costume and who isn’t. Lol

Some older man started talking to me. He was nice, but definitely not my type or in my age range. He gave me his card and asked that I give him a call. I should have just told him I had a bf and not took his card. I won’t call him. I think he was drunk, maybe he won’t remember. I should pass the card along to Ed. Hehe. I was bored after that, but there was a guy there that I keep seeing out and have been wanting to meet since the start of last summer. I was trying to work up enough nerve to go talk to him. While I was waiting and trying to find some courage some really short guy came over and started talking to me. I swear that he was not much taller than a yardstick and seemed about as intelligent as a rock. Again –not my type! This guy started showing and explaining his tattoos to me which most represented pain and death. Luckily Steve called and saved me. I had to walk outside to hear on the phone. Thank God for cell phones and friends!

After I went back inside it was now or never to go talk to the guy. I took the chance. He was really nice. I guess we clicked as we talked for almost three hours. It was getting late and we both had to work today. He actually walked me to my car. That was a first. He asked for my number so I gave him my card. Now it’s a waiting game to see if he calls. I hope he does. I really hate setting myself up like this.

Even though I am tired today, I am glad that I got out of the house. I probably should do it more often. I really hope that I don’t sound like E with a blow by blow description.

I need to go eat some lunch and get ready for work.

Have a good day.

Date: September 25, 2006 12:30:13 PM PDT

My first name,

It's been so long since we spoke, but I've been thinking bout you guys a
lot. Just went to the site to check out the current diary and it was great
to hear the latest (didn't know you were an altar boy, too!! I still
remember some of the Latin prayers). Anyway, I'm glad to hear things are
going well there in SA. I must admit I just viewed the video you and Sharon
made before the Lovefest and it was really moving (nice underscore, too!).
So sorry I missed the event and never made a contribution, either. Where can
I do that? What is the name and address of the organization?? Recently I've
become so disturbed at how we as Americans have become such insufferable
consumers. It's really an addiction. And living here it's almost impossible
to NOT be one. It seems like every time I turn around there's a dozen
sources asking me to spend money on something that, if you really look at
it, is a non-essential. We've tried to teach our kids the art of being happy
with what you have and know the meaning of abundance. Recently, Christiane
Amanpour on CNN did a spot on Kenya and the poverty and AIDS there. I
thought of you and your family and it was just terribly sad to think that
what we spend on a business lunch could feed and house a family half a world
away. Crazy really.

I hope the music and work is still flowing to you there in Africa and that
you're busy. I guess we have one here next week for ABTB/John K (if it's
approved!) If you have a minute to send me the MIDI file I'll nailed the
tempo changes and stuff. This summer has been kinda slow for me, but it's
given me time to spend on the gear and a chance to really turn the studio
into a compositional tool. That's been the objective all along, but it's
finally beginning to be a transparent process: sit down and write! With the
least amount of technical junk to worry about. ProTools HD is great, the
MIDI implementation is cool and with the Gigas & Plug-ins samplers, it all
sounds great. The family is doing well, Michael turns 16 today and will be
driving soon. My oldest son (29) is out on the road with his band for 6-mo
and the second one (27) and his wife are expecting a baby in April. Man, the
world keeps on turning...and fast!

So drop a line when you get a minute (I haven't been on iChat since we last
spoke...I should do that again, it was cool) and give my best to your
family. See ya!


God bless,
Joe

You have had a few ups and downs recently and needed someone to be there for you, and I'm glad I was able to be the one. It felt strange that you were not here last night. I missed having someone to talk with. It was funny this morning DJ sat outside the door to your room waiting for you. I guess he misses you too.

I've changed my name since we last met, but we played in a quartet together coached by a gruff cellist whose name I forget but it started with "B." Martha Dxxxxx was the violist & David Rxxxxx was cello.

Since then I got my degree from Rice in English & music, decided not to do music professionally (practice-room burnout, plus other interests) but accidentally ended up playing in the Axxxxx Symphony, plus lots of chamber music around town. Oops.
In the meantime, I got a Master of Social Work I'm currently planning to go back for a PhD in cognitive psychology, so taking a couple research & cognition courses in addition to teaching & playing full-time.
Suzy Pxxxxxxx had mentioned that you were playing in New York some years ago, but I never looked you up. Not sure what possessed me to look you up now, but thought I would drop a line!

Hope all is well!

Hi "my first name",

I hear you guys had a real nice time. Dad says you were really nice to him. I am glad he had a good time. Hope you did too. At first I was bummed I could not go, but when he said there was an hour wait, I thought well, it was not so bad not going.

OK, here is the favor. I was with grams on Sunday. After the visit from Mike and Dave came too, she and I talked over lunch. She has been looking over her life. She was talking about, yes your brother, he comes up once in a while with she and I. In part of the conversation, she mentioned she would have like to get to know Dan's kids. I offered for her to see them through a variety of ways. She has declined to see him because of he and me not seeing each other. I offered for you to take her to a resturant, or me take her and the children could be there. If I took her you could perhaps be there with the children and she could 'see' them. She has declined on all accounts.

I finally asked if she would like some current pictures if I was able to arrange that. She finally said that would be nice. I think she wants to 'share' the pictures of her great grandchildren withg her friends. I think she is reexamining her life as well. What was, what could have been....

My brother came by today on his way home and they will be stopping by grandma's on their way home, and we had a detailed discussion about her. In looking back over the past months, or year or so, she is in a decline. This is it, she will not be better than today ever again. I have pretty much been oblivious to it and now need to address it in a way that is full of the love I feel for her and not the frustration I am sure will come.

So, here is the favor, finally. Could you perhaps get current pictures of Nic and Emma? A picture of the two of them together would be good, or pictures of them individually would be alright too. I am not sure what your relationship is with Dan at the moment, so if it requires you to do ANYTHING you would be uncomfortablel with, please do not do it. Beckett willl be a big part now and as he becomes more active she will have him to show off as it were. Please do not do this out of any kind of guilt.

Thanks "my first name", love mom

Blonde Time Again
Did you hear about the two blondes who froze to death in a drive-in movie?
They went to see "Closed for the Winter."

Why did the blonde resolve to have only 3 children?
She heard that one out of every four children born in the world was Chinese


Did you hear about the near-tragedy at the mall?
There was a power outage, and twelve blondes were stuck on the escalators for over four hours.

A blonde was driving home after a game and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. Her car was covered with dents, so the next day she took it to a repair shop. The shop owner saw that she was a blonde, so he decided to have some fun. He told her just to go home and blow into the tail pipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out. So, the blonde went home, got down on her hands and knees and started blowing into her tailpipe. Nothing happened. So she blew a little harder, and still nothing happened. Her roommate, another blonde, came home and said, "What are you doing?" The first blonde told her how the repairman had instructed her to blow into the tail pipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. The roommate rolled her eyes and said, "Uh, like hello! You need to roll up the windows first."

A blonde went to an eye doctor to have her eyes checked for glasses. The doctor directed her to read various letters with the left eye while covering the right eye. The blonde was so mixed up on which eye was which that the eye doctor, in disgust, took a paper lunch bag with a hole to see through, covered up the appropriate eye and asked her to read the letters. As he did so, he noticed the blonde had tears streaming down her face. "Look," said the doctor, "there's no need to get emotional about getting glasses." "I know," agreed the blonde, "But I kind of had my heart set on wire frames.

A blonde was shopping at a Target Store and came across a silver thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and brought it over to the clerk to ask what it was. The clerk said, "That's a thermos . . it keeps some things hot and some things cold" "Wow, said the blonde, "that's amazing. I'm going to buy it!" So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day. Her boss saw it on her desk. "What do you have there?" he asked. "Why, that's a thermos . . it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold," she replied. Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it? " The blond replied, "Two Popsicles, and some coffee".

A man entered the bus with both of his front pockets full of golf balls, and sat down next to a beautiful (you guessed it) blonde. The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after many such glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls". Nevertheless, the blonde continued to look at him thoughtfully and finally, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, asked, "Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?"


And, finally, this gem which just appeared in my INBOX. This has to be one of the best blonde jokes I've heard..... This will make all you technologically challenged people feel GOOD.
A young man wanted to get his beautiful blonde wife, Susie, something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decided to buy her a cell phone. He showed her the phone and explained to her all of its features. Susie was excited to receive the gift and simply adored her new phone. The next day Susie went shopping. Her phone rang and, to her astonishment, it was her husband on the other end. "Hi Susie," he said, "how do you like your new phone?" Susie replied, "I just love it! It's so small and your voice is clear as a bell, but there's one thing I don't understand though..." "What's that, sweetie?" asked her husband. "How did you know I was at Wal-Mart?"

1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1= 11.
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. >2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. he wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
scary
huh?? YES!!!!

Did you bother reporting this to the 9/11 commission?

Wow

You know that guy who hits you up in the grocery store parking lot for a few bucks so he can get a bus ticket and he's just in town because of the promise of work, but someone stole his tools and now his truck won't run and....

Subject: Hello!!!
Date: June 2, 2006 10:36:15 AM PDT
Hi!!!

How are you? My name is Natalia. I am 26 years old. I live in Russia, city Yelabuga. I am cheerful woman, and like to do many things as sport, camping, go to the cinema, theatre etc. In a word I like to do all what like all people. I work in marketing structure on sale of cosmetics. My dream this travel abroad. I know the english language well enough.
I began to study english language approximately one year ago. I wish tell to you history which have pushed me write to you. 8 months ago I have got acquainted with the man from other country by name Dominique. During this time we had good relations. We have understood
that our relations become serious and we have decided to meet in his country. I wrote the application for reception the visa. I waited reception of the visa approximately half of year. All time I kept in touch with Dominique through the internet and often called to each other. I
and Dominique waited reception of the visa to our meeting. I have received the invitation from the ambassador for reception of the visa. My director has given me long-term holiday from work and I have gone to Moscow to receive the visa. I informed good news to Dominique, but he has answered, that does not want our meeting. He played with me. He has informed that has the wife with two children and at all has no plans to meet me. I was not ready to such turn of events. I could not think what even after 8 months of acquaintance he can so unscrupulously act with me. Now I am in Moscow trip to Moscow and reception of visa. I do not want that all was gone for nothing and will be glad if my visa will be useful to our meeting. I could arrive already through 4-5 days, but a problem in that that now I have no man which would like my arrival. Probable it will silly sound but if you will be interested in a meeting with the good woman I shall like to meet you sometime soon! As Dominique was dishonest with me I have decided to find the man which is interested to meet the woman from Russia. I do not know your ideas about my letter, but it would be fine if we could meet and have some weeks or months together. On my trip I want to receive rest from my work and a life in Russia. Also the basic purpose for the future it is search good men for serious attitudes which go to a marriage. I have no children, but I want to have children in the future.
I am the mature woman and ready to creation of family with good man. I do not know what you really search in the future but if we could meet I shall be happy to discuss with you more about our meeting. What are you going to do this time? It would be fine if we could meet, do
friendship or more than simply friendship. I shall be happy if you also have a free time and we could meet soon. I do not know your interests, but anyhow write to me back and I shall tell to you more about myself.

Write to me all that you want. Maybe we have similar plans and it will be interesting to us together. You can write all that you want. Ask any questions which interest you.
Write to me back and I shall tell more about myself and send more my photos.

Have a good day,

Natalia

Metaphorically speaking

A joke forward, from someone I don't know.

Subject: metaphorically speaking


Every year, English teachers from across the country can submit their
collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school
essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of
teachers across the country. Here are last year's winners.....

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides
gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like
underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a
guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of
those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country
speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse
without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was
room-temperature Canadian beef.

5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes
just before it throws up.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated
because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge
at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a
bowling ball wouldn't.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag
filled with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie,
surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and
Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you
fry them in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across
the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having
left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka
at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences
that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had
also never met.

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the
East River.

18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only
one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.

19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil,
this plan just might work.

21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not
eating for a while.

22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either,
but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land
mine or something.

23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg
behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with
power tools.

25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as
if she were a garbage truck backing up

Cats and Dogs

People think they are so witty... And I'm not a big pet person, so..

-->

Subject: Fwd: special Message
Date: October 20, 2008 4:28:40 PM PDT
(The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and
contain your food.
The other dishes are mine and contain my food.
Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not
stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that
aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing
me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry
about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.
It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out
on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom!
If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut,
it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get
your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the
same door I entered.
Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -
canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other
dog or cat's butt.
I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following
message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR
PETS:
(1) They live here. You don't. (2) If you don't want their hair on
your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it
'fur'-niture. (3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they (1) eat less, (2) don't ask for money all the time, (3) are easier to train, (4) normally come when called, (5) never ask to drive the car, (6) don't hang out with drug-using people; (7) don't smoke or drink, (8) don't want to wear your clothes, (9) don't have to buy the latest fashions, (10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and (11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Subject: homeless
Date: July 26, 2005 3:45:04 PM PDT
Hi XXXX,

Wow, you're homeless. I'm sorry you went down again so rapidly.

When we last talked last you said you'd call me back about the furniture I had for you and possibly helping you out in other ways. When I didn't get a call back I knew something bad was happening.

In any case, I'm in much the same situation. They hired an African-american woman with less experience over me at work and reduced my hours. I can see why they did, even though she doesn't have as much experience. There's no female African-american women anchoring on XXXX. In doing so, they reduced hours for freelancers! I'm toast.

One of the questions I have is how I would get you some money. I don't have a phone number for you and I don't have an address, other than the P.O. box in Honeydew. When I do get a few dollars I can send you, how about I deposit it directly into your bank account. I would think this would be faster and easier than sending you small amounts to Honeydew through the mail. What's your account number and mailing address you use at your bank? They'll want to know that when I make a deposit.

Again, sorry to hear about your continued bad luck,

Henry

Getting the band back together....

Man, too bad I'm just not this cool. But alas, you guessed it - I don't know any of these guys.

Hello my brothers from other mothers,

I love you! I miss you so much....

Well, I'm kinda back in town again....

and I think for all the right reasons....

And I want to get the band backtogether...

We're all getting closer to 50 and I want to rock until I'm 80...

no kidding.

I've been listening to our GSD stuff and it was good.

Not great, but good.

Sometimes actually not good at all (which was all me to be honest)

However........

I'm a much better guitarist.... (even lead guitar!)

I'm a much better writer .......

And I can sing.

And some of the GSD stuff was great. Playing Rusty Cage with Bryan

was a hightlight. When the bottom drops out.....damn.

So here's my thoughts my brothers:

-I come to Seattle once a month

-I fly in Wednesday night I stay until Sunday pm.

- We could practice Wed and Thursday nights and play on Friday....

Here's even more realistic and adult thoughts.

I think this will be the hardest on Tim, because it is 3 consecutive nights a month.

I've also exhibited some flaky behavior in the past and I know that it's up to me to make this happen.

Pat, I know you want to play period. ME TOO.

And I get my best friends back.

To make this work we'll need to probably practice at Tim's house. Pat we'll need you to book the venues.

I'm sorry I can't help, but it's only one gig a month. And you know EVERYONE...

Coffee shop is fine. I just know that once Tim launches into "I Never Cry" by Alice....I'll be in Heaven....

No kidding guys, this will be real fun. It will require time so let's be flexible and respectful. But let's give it a shot.

I have some great ideas about what to perform. Tim's solo stuff is the centerpeice, but we'll rock the fucking joint.

~Michael

PS, as far as a guitarist is concerned, Phil good! Bryan better!

I can hold down the fort better than the past, so we can be choosy!!!

Booty Call!

Probably the kind of message you want to get to the right person.

Hey Christie,

I decided that I don't need to have my stuff stored. It's really not that much stuff, and I can live with it. That was totally sweet of Daizo, but TOTALLY unnecessary. Would be more than happy to help you move your stuff though. Are you doing it Wednesday? If so, I'm free. :-)

Nope- I don't know Christie, Daizo or B - and from their email address, I think they live in the UK.

Good News Atlanta Bread is still in business....

Too bad I live in Seattle.

Subject: Atlanta BreadI can't remember who I heard it from. The good news is that I only remember hearing it from one person, so I don't think the rumor is rampant. And, at least within Legal, the lunch and learn tomorrow will serve to dispel any rumors that are out there. :)

Jessica,

Good news -- Atlanta Bread is very much open for business, and I ordered lunch from them for your Lunch N Learn on Tuesday!

I mentioned to them when I called that you had heard they were going out of business. I spoke to Caroline and she is concerned about this rumor. Do you remember who you heard it from that they were closing. Understandably so, Caroline would like to nip this rumor in the bud! "
