Haines His Way

I've used my cell for my Palm TX.

Thanks, DR Dan (the Man)!

By the way, I may have missed a post, but did a little surprise package arrive at Casa Winkworth yet?

Not yet, but...

Expectans, Expectavi!  

Just got a message that the upload folder is full

I hate it when that happens!

Oh and they like niger thistle seed.  If you feed them they will stay in your back yard

THey like sunflowers, too.  My sister has been growing sunflowers in her yard and often spots gold finches flitting about them.

Not yet, but...

Expectans, Expectavi!  

??hmmmmm.... kind of odd?  But I use what is called a "Media Mail" rate for small packages, and sometimes it is fairly swift, and at other times not so swift.

I wonder if dear Esteemed BK ever uses the "Media Mail" rate, and what his experience has been?

I used to have a co-worker who insisted, whenever we had an office cake, that only virgins could get the pieces with the icing flowers...

I'll bet that cake got stale fast.

Another spell to get the doctor to make a housecall:

Calling Dr. Bombay!
Calling Dr. Bombay!
Emergency!
Come Right Away!

I was somewhat disappointed A THOUSAND SPENDID SUNS was not as beautifully, poetically written as THE KITE RUNNER, but then to me few books are.  Nor was the story as heart wrenching, which some might consider a good thing.  Both books capture the plight of the Afghanistan people, told with completely different stories.

It isn’t fair to expect brilliance every time. So, on its own merits I found the book riveting, obviously since I didn’t put it down until six this morning.

Ginny, it would make a good discussion book.

Btw, i really enjoyed hearing about Patti in Gypsy yesterday. Thanks DRs Jason and Jose.

David, does your question have anything to do with this question posed by a reader to the columnist in the New York Times today?

Technology from the NY Times

Ding! Ding! Ding!   We have a winner!  

I noted during my recent trip that there were times when I did not have access to a wireless network for my laptop.  And, since my phone has an unlimited data plan, I looked it up, and yes - the specs say my phone can be used as a modem.  And then, today's Times confirmed that it can be done.     It sounds from DR Dan (the Man) like it may not work as smoothly as they might want you to think.

Or is that ***TWAVEW WIBES*** ?  

In light of our discussion earlier, I thought this entry from wikipedia was interesting:

In Ancient Rome, the Vestal Virgins (sacerdos Vestalis), were the virgin holy priestesses of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth. Their primary task was to maintain the sacred fire of Vesta. The Vestal duty brought great honor and afforded greater privileges to women who served in that role. They were the only female priests within the Roman religious system.

Does the recently errant and truant Miss Karen know about shares?

If she's helping to enable Cason to do the show, that could be an investment...

I think I'm absolutely going to love this work.

And your clients will be lucky that you've chosen this field!

...the big problem is I am a-scared to get on the roof! I hate heights.
