And I cannot be convinced that the lowering of gas prices that occured just as we were voting last time was a coincidence...cause they went right back up aftewards.

Not that I am a conspiracy theorist or anything...but really, now.

Gasoline prices are always higher in the summer months - the demand is at a yearly peak and the government regulations dictate a more expensive gasoline formulation.

Come fall, the demand drops, cheaper formualtions are marketed, and retail costs go down - all without benefit of conspiracy.

For the 2006 election, the worldwide price of crude did a large slide from July to October thanks to OPEC (them fereners). After the market bottomed out, the Arabs decided to help pull the price back up and cut back on production - crude went up and gas prices rose - without any help from a US conspiracy.

And it should be noted that gasoline prices do not follow a national conspiracy pattern. Retail gasoline prices here in DE are LOWER today than they were a year ago! You guys in WA and CA are paying about 50 cents a gallon more at the pump than do I in Delaware or my daughter in MD.

We still have not reached the annual inflation adjusted prices set in 1980 ( but we will if prices stay where they are).

Opinion... How would you view this...

Today at work they brought some foodstuff over from a retreat the librarians had and the staff was invited to partake. I slipped to the back and made a sandwich and a bowl of fruit for my lunch.

I started to put some fruit in a bowl and one woman threatened to stab me with a fork if i touched the fruit. She thought she was being cute but I was not amused. I reported this to her super and to mine.. My super was not too concerned but it truly bothered me. She could have suggested it in another way than threatening me with a fork. How would you read this?

Lots of Tony predictions in the LA Times:

And the Tony Award nominees will be …

Contender: "Grey Gardens" opened to glowing notices for star Christine Ebersole.
(Newsday

One to beat: "The Coast of Utopia," about revolutionary and romantic politics in 19th century Russia starring Ethan Hawke, is a likely Tony nominee.
(Newsday)

Frontrunner: Vanessa Redgrave, who portrays Joan Didion in "The Year of Magical Thinking," looks like a lock for a Tony nomination.

Grey GArdens and Coast of Utopia look good...

Well, I guess since she only threatened and didn't hurt you, no one else thinks it is a big deal. Believe me, I understand.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #341 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:07:10 PM »

I think you did the right thing reporting the threat, by the way.

What message do you think she was attempting to send?

Your "being cute" suggests the women was simply having a bit of fun.

Tomorrow my friend and I are going to see the plastic bodies at the science museum.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #345 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:10:29 PM »

I was bothered by it and I debated for several hours after it happened to say anything. If she was 'trying to be cute by pulling that stunt' it did nto work. In this day and age with all the violence in work places, it is not the thing to do.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #346 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:11:45 PM »

I let things slide quite often becuase sometimes it is best but it gets to a point where 'curt' remarks and putdowns and veiled threats need to end.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #347 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:12:26 PM »

Was she trying to claim the fruit for herself?

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #348 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:16:52 PM »

Stupid question here...

Are Jean Stapleton and Maureen Stapleton related? or do they just have the coincidence of the same last name?

That is what I am wondering but it did not have her name on it. She is one of several in the library who feel since I work at night, I should not have teh privilege of having stuff like this. The Interim director invited me to have some.

Here are the ABC cancellations, straight out of the VARIETY story:

Gone are "According to Jim," "George Lopez," "Knights of Prosperity," "Big Day," "Daybreak," "The Nine," "Help Me Help You," "In Case of Emergency," "Six Degrees" and "What About Brian."

A few of I have never seen... I was not a fan of According to Jim or George Lopez...

Knights of Prosperity I thought had a promising premise but quickly fizzled as did Six Degrees.

I mean, really, would you go to a museum to see plastic birds

Hi all.

If I ever needed those famous HHW vibes, it is now.

I got here from work and was told that Mom may not make it though the night. If she does, she won't last but a day or two. All the signs they tell you about are there so I don't doubt it this time.

Forgive me but I won't be posting for a few days.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. You are such a wonderful group of people. No one could ask for a better group of friends.

Much love,
Danise

((hugs))
