Just a comment to say that I have had a good day, and all the past week has been quite good, including well chosen gifts. So it is not all bad.

I hope everyone's luck gets an upswing.

Dec 24- my sister falls and breaks other kneecap
Dec 31 - Ms. Shake flu
Jan 3 - sewer clog
Jan 4 - leaking furnace chimney
Jan 4 - My mom's apt building burns
Jan 5 - sewer clog again
sometime in the last week, the other 1st grade teacher's husband falls off second story roof onto face. Breaks pelvis and requires facial reconstruction

Now it seems to be spilling into the WGB
And y'all bitch about my influence on the board. This dude's liable to cause your bits and pieces to fall off.

I loved the Vienna houses-- and this post, JRE -- no complaints is a boon -- and shake, things will improve

Ha! I considered contacting you, but our layover was approximately 5 minutes long! Next time...

Gotta type fast here: In the middle of the ocean, no land in sight. Actually a bit like floating in space, no reference points. Incredibly, there is internet, though it's at a premium (hence my brevity).

Ship is swank. Incredible food. Lots of Italians and Germans. More soon...

Holy carp! If anyone needs me I'll be hiding under my desk sucking my thumb. What? Did someone here replace Cthulu's beak gloss with super glue or something?!?

Best mojo and wishes to all them that's needing it today. Which, um, appears to be just about everyone! Eek

Whew. Wish things get better for so many conflicted wigbers.

Back into reality from year's end vacation. It's going to be a strenuous start of the year here, too, country-wide. But there's always something to make one pull through...

Wow. This puts my day in the proper perspective. Good luck to shake, Mrs.K, Alli, and everyone else who could use it.

I thought you'd cut that out.

Last night I managed to lock myself out. The kid who lives below me came up and helped me break into my place. This involved me swinging off my second floor landing onto an adjacent roof. The climbing in through an open window. Then the kid let me know he had helped the previous resident do the same. He also kept eyeing my tv and pointed out where somebody had tried to get in my door with a screwdriver before I moved in and damaged the door. All in all the residents of my building are like, in my girlfriend's words, the cast of Melrose Place. Only poor and with cheap cars.
Welcome back to apartment life. How many months was the damage deposit?


Seeing this happen to you breaks my heart.

That depends on what you want to do. When you
think of yourself in the future, what do you see
yourself doing and where do you see yourself doing
it?

No prob, next time.

Careful with that incredible food, the Italians are ok but the Germans tend to be a bit fatty.

Yeah but it was years ago I went on a cruise like that. The last cruise was after I stopped drinking and all I did was wander about and drink coffee from their little coffee bar. It was good coffee but I found that unless you have a lot of stops that are fun cruises suck sober.

Less than a months rent, now I have to rig up some sort of alarm. I am thinking a motion sensor attached to a timer and an airhorn.

Well, you could try some consultancy in BR. Here, the less you show your knowledge the higher you go in corporate life... Otherwise you could try BR politics: in this case, if you swear you cannot read or write, you can be elected as governor, mayor or any kind of representative... Your life would be fixed at once and forever... with some 100M$ in the Caymans, mansions at the beach...

Well, the phrase "drink like a sailor" wasn't coined in a vacuum...

Less than a month? Can't be that bad a neighborhood then. As for an alarm, I hear Claymores are guaranteed to wake you up if someone breaks into your pad, and the pellets probably won't go too far through the neighbor's wall.
