Our first potential wedding, excellent!
::)
Soon I shall be the only one here. I did open the Powerbook box and even took out the machine, but I couldn't even figure out how to open it. I pushed what I thought was the button to unlatch it, but nothing happened and I didn't want to force it. So, I put it back. All cords and gizmos seem to be in place.
I feel a song coming on.
I think I may hold the HHW record for the shortest marriage. I was young and foolish...about 5 years old. We had been boyfriend and girlfriend for quite awhile. Our parents were best friends and we got married in her bathroom at a party with my sister presiding. The marriage lasted about 5 minutes before I realized what a mistake I had made. I had my sister draw up the divorce papers right there. When she gave them to my soon to be ex-wife, she ripped them up and ran from the room crying. We sort of drifted apart after that day, but we insisted that we would not let it affect our parents friendship and I am glad to say they are still friends today. ;)
DRJOEY - I think the Yahoo Search engine will start listing a site once it has reached a certain number of hits...because it and Google, I think, list sites by popularity as determined by "hits" so your site must have been looked at MANY times.
Yes. Sorry I had forgotten to get back to you about that. We are doing it at my church and it has turned out to be much much better than I ever expected! We are having performances the second weekend of February.
I do want to say again what I great time Anthony and I had with Mr. Moore on Saturday. A gentleman and a scholar is he.
Oooh, oooh, I came in this morning and read through various and sundried memos and e-mails only to find that I, Ben McLaughlin, Grants Indexing Specialist, have received an Incentive Compensation Award (the newfangled term for a year-end bonus) "For Exceptional Overall Performance During the Year"
The problem is, the lady I love on site is already marrried, but maybe for several million, a nice trip, lots of luxury gift items, and a speedy Nevada divorce, it could happen. I don't think a carton of Diet Coke would be nearly enough.
...I hope that this doesn't offend anyone
On that note (F#) I will leave you for the time being.
I tell you, I am now officially over this relentless rain. It has not stopped raining since yesterday afternoon. Not even for one second.

-Oh, and did anyone else you "AmiPro" for their word processing early on? I became quite adept at it, and had configured tons of my own macros for the program. I think my old-old-old computer still has some files on it in that format that I'd like to convert to Word - if that's even possible any more at this point.
WordPort, our top-of-the-line word processing file convertor, directly converts your Ami Pro documents with text and formatting intact -- including complex formatting, page layout and other features! Using this software, you can convert thousands of your Ami Pro document files with a few simple mouse clicks. WordPort costs only $149, and may be downloaded and activated instantly. Click for more information, or to download the software on a trial basis at no charge.
If you have only a few Ami Pro files to convert, you'll find our instant online conversion service very convenient and inexpensive. For example, conversion of several Ami Pro files typically costs only $9. This service is fully automated and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Other Parents Want Gay Couple's Kids Out of School
Monday, January 03, 2005
COSTA MESA, Calif. — Some parents and parishioners have accused the Roman Catholic diocese in Orange County of violating church doctrine by allowing a gay couple to enroll their children in a church school.
The group demanded that St. John the Baptist School in Costa Mesa accept only families that pledge to abide by Catholic teachings, the Los Angeles Times reported in Sunday's editions. Church doctrine opposes gay relationships and adoption by same-sex couples.
"The teachings of the church seem to have been abandoned," John R. Nixon told the Times. "We send our children to a Catholic school because we expect and demand that the teachings of our church will be adhered to."
School officials rejected the demand, and issued a new policy stating that a family's background "does not constitute an absolute obstacle to enrollment in the school."
The parents' demand would presumably prevent two adopted boys whose parents are both men from attending the school's kindergarten.
The Rev. Gerald M. Horan, superintendent of diocese schools, said that if Catholic beliefs were strictly adhered to, then children whose parents divorced, used birth control or married outside the church would also have to be banned.
"This is the quagmire that the parents' position represents," he said. "It's a slippery slope to go down."
The boys' parents, who enrolled their children at the beginning of the school year, declined to comment to the Times.
Some parents have promised to ask the Vatican to intervene and some have threatened to pull their children from the school. Others are worried the boys' attendance will set a precedent, saying their presence is part of a larger effort by the gay community to change the church.
"The boys are being used as pawns by these men to further their agenda," said Monica Sii, who has four children at the school.
Joey had a computer in kindergarten! Boy, that makes me feel old!
At first, DR Elmore, I thought you were referring to Moi,but then I realized you probably meant Jane ;)
I don't drink soda of any kind, but never, ever diet anything. ;D
Jane, I agree, better to have just a little of "real" anything, instead of a lot of "diet."
There have been rumors about A Princess of Mars and your attachment, is there anything to that?
"Yeah, we're moving full steam ahead on that. We don't have a script yet, it's early on obviously, but it's starting.
Ann-LOL & too cute.
Michael next time I’m in Portland you will have to meet Bryan’s Sugar Gliders.
DERBRCER where did you live that you didn’t have kindergarten? I almost purchased a Dick and Jane 2005 calendar.
and this is Petrie. I had to crop this pic quite a bit to keep it G-rated...Petrie likes to sleep in my bra... :D
What a pair of cuties!
der Brucer, my Princess of Mars script, despite its cult status among Burroughs aficianados, is a dead issue. It was the very first one written for Disney years ago, many have followed in its wake, to get that script out of Disney would cost a lot, for Disney would try to apply so much of its development costs against it.
Remember Sally getting folded up in the umbrella?
I remember in first grade that the teacher collected all of our Dick and Jane readers and redistributed new copies. It was the same exact book, except a few of Dick and Jane's friends were suddenly black. It was a culture shock for the less sophisticated kids in the class.
I've been thinking about chat, since I just got the bill to renew our handy-dandy chat room. It has been quite a while since we've done one (I think everyone got chatted out and that a break was necessary). So, if we do a chat this week, let's figure out a day and time when it would be optimal for most people on the site. You know, maybe something like five o'clock my time, so that the New Yorkers would be chatting at eight.
DR Jennifer, to do Telnet:
Open a command prompt, type "telnet" and hit enter.
I'm ignorant about telnet commands but if you type "/?" and hit enter, you should get a list of commands.
At first, DR Elmore, I thought you were referring to Moi,but then I realized you probably meant Jane ;)Speculation is endless, DR Ginny.
Michael next time I’m in Portland you will have to meet Bryan’s Sugar Gliders.
I know how to use telnet. But where do i get it? Do I have to download something?
The computer I was using had it on the front page under "internet". The computer I am now using does not. And I'm not sure what to do!
Does this make more sense?
I thought that "Masquerade" was a mess. First, the voguing. Then the camera-work. I wasn't even crazy about the black/white costuming, especially with other characters in colors other than black and white. And I missed the cow

The guy who played the Phantom was worse then I could have imagined. Horrible. Just horrible. It was very apparent that English is not his first language—

Not usually my style to give an opinion and comment that will possible offend DRs.
Sugar Gliders should not be pets. It would be illegal in this country. The exotic "Pets" are cute philosposphy is the reason why there is an international illegal trade in wildlife. Gliders are born to be free. They are not domesticated. I don't approve of caged birds either. Thousands of birds and small marsupials and reptiles die each year because they smuggled internationally in the hope that a few will survive and bring in $$$$$$$. Whether the pets are bred in captivity in another country is not relevant. The original breeding stock would have been illegal.

Jane - yes, I did get the pic! They are such darlings...how old are they? I'll bet your son misses them...I miss mine whenever I have to leave them. What are their names?
Juliana may make herself available to be a haineshisway.com bride. She's very interested in the concept.

Isn't it funny - I mention eleven GUESTS and three GUESTS immediately hit the road.
And I 2nd DR JRands, Yikes!, DtM What exactly did it say?
First computer I ever used with a Commadore PET Computer in 6th grade. I remember buying a Commadore VIC 20 from a friend of mine for use at home, you hooked it up to the TV, it was fun. I remember copying programs out of magazines in my spare time and saving them on CASSETTES!!! I eventually acquired an Atari 800 XL and eventually a PC. I still use PC's and I have an iBook for portable stuff.
WARNING - SPOILER AHEAD!(Kate gets something to replace her tank-top!)
I just returned from a trip to the future and brought back this pic from an up-coming episode of "Lost":

DR Dan, thanks for trying to help re: the telnet thing. I did what you said, and it sort of brought something up. But it was on a black screen (and I cannot work that way). I couldn't get it to load though.
It's just so frustrating, because the other computer I was using had telnet right on the front page when you logged in. I know there are sites that I can probably download telnet from. I just don't know anything about such things!
Back from a lovely lunch with the ever-lovely Juliana A. Hansen. I never run into people I know, but I saw my pal Gordon Hunt, and I saw my cousin Alan. Go know. Juliana looked ravishing, and I have a phograph to prove it which, of course, I will be posting from my new Powerbook. I do have the feeling that the photos I'm taking with the Canon will be too many pixels, so someone may have to talk me through converting them to less pixels.
All guys here now. We should make a sweat lodge and bond.
All guys here now. We should make a sweat lodge and bond.
That's okay, DR Danise. Women are welcome in the lodge. In fact, two women I know regularly lead sweat lodges.
DR RLP, your sweat is sticky? Mine is more on the slippery side.
FYI. Ladies don't sweat, we perspire. ;)
The sky is really ominous - quite black in certain sections.
My goodness, I took us to page eight, no mean feat. How about mean feet? Have you ever been confronted with mean feet?
I don't think I've ever been is sweat lodge either. I don't know if I would pass out or not.
Maybe the check will be made of chocolate. The Chocolate Check--sounds like an Anne Tyler book title.
I'm going to go watch one of my newly arrived Dean Martin Show DVDs.
FYI. Ladies don't sweat, we perspire. ;)
I've had bubble gum checks but never a chocolate check.
Meant to mention that I, too, saw film adaptation of THE PHANTOM OF THE HOO-HA yesterday afternoon.
I thought that Schumacher's allowing so many different accents was deplorable. And I forget who mentioned Patrick Wilson's American take on the word "to" last week, but when the moment arrived, it seemed so out of place......
The check has arrived. Shortly, I'm going out to drink copious amounts of hot chocolate with obscene portions of whipped cream. The only question is - should I have chocolate syrup on the whipped cream or would that be overkill?
Not usually my style to give an opinion and comment that will possible offend DRs.Which raises a question: if the Gliders were to get free in the US of A, would they breed like...well, like rabbits in Austrailia?

Page 9 on a Monday night???? WOW!
Chocolate whipped cream doesn’t appeal to me. I also prefer marshmallows in my hot chocolate. Neither are really needed if the hot chocolate is made with sweetened steamed milk. Today I had hot cocoa Bryan gave me for Christmas along with the home made (from the candy store) marshmallow. I didn’t take the time to steam the milk but it was yummy anyway.
I've made my massive mug of marvelously mellow hot chocolate with a monstrous mound of marshmallows at its brim. :D
Interestingly, with the thunder and lightening came no rain.
How curious. Our thunderstorm brought with it yet another deluge of precipitation. I feel like I've been dropped into a Noah story.
DRJay, I have always had a special place in my heart for alliteration.
Well, I enjoyed MEDIUM. It was just creepy enough. Did anyone get into the HHW marriage reality show? What are the prizes to be, Dear Friend BK?
And so, to bed.
The haineshisway.com marriage will be the finest reality show ever done. The networks will seethe with anger because they don't have it. They will seethe, and we shall laugh and laugh, most especially the bride and groom, whomever they may be. I think dear reader Ann is a fine candidate - unfortunately, dear readers Jane and Hisaka are betrothed. Frankly, I'd marry either one of them - in fact, maybe I'll just marry everyone on the site. Wait - I think we're on to something. But is something on to us? I must ponder the imponderables whilst eating a bit of egg and ham.
I thought BK said he would be interested in marrying you DRAnn. :o
And, get this, I have a date with a choral music teacher to go get ice cream on Friday. Who knows where THAT may lead?Just remember, sometimes really hot fudge is just really hot fudge.
Of course, with all this travelling back and forth (all by foot, all in my hood) - I visited a few stores and made some purchases...
I'm glad everyone enj...well had SOME sort of reaction to the picture. ;D
Today I read a lovely book about polygamy, insanity, and murder. Can't go wrong with that.
...Today I read a lovely book about polygamy, insanity, and murder. Can't go wrong with that.Amazing what you can read between the lines in Dick and Jane, isn't it! :D
No hot chocolate for me, and no wooden chicken either. But on the weekend I bought myself - impulsively - a twig deer (reduced by 40 percent to about $25) in Lucknow, Ontario.
I don't know about everyone else, but my hot chocolate has turned out to be particularly delish. True, there is no whipped cream or almond biscotti, but the unadorned cup of cocoa I have here is hitting the spot.
