Keith's genealogy research has taken him to an interesting yet somber discovery.  He has found a listing of 60 family members who perished in the Holocaust.

Today he found the listing for my grand uncle (my father's father's brother).

Quote
Berko Wainer was born in Subrawsky in 1889. During the war he was in France. Deported with transport 52 from Drancy to Sobibor on 23/03/1943. Berko perished in the Shoah. This information is based on a List of deportation from France found in the Le Memorial de la deportation des juifs de france, Beate et Serge Klarsfeld, Paris 1978.

We are fairly certain he was not born in Subrawsky, wherever that is.

We've had a butterfly mishap. A wing didn't straighten after it emerged.

At the risk of sounding super insensitive, I have to ask if it survived.

I'm sorry.  Will the butterfly survive?

It has survived. The Butterfly Scientist (a HHW recurring character) says he may still be ok.

I asked without thinking I might be insensitive.  I'm sure you are only concerned, and curious, as am I.

Whether it can live in the wild is another question. I may have a pet.

Was the Raposo Raggedy Ann an adaptation of the animated film he wrote the score for?  I love several of those songs, especially Blue, What Did I See, and Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers.  I'll discuss Wonderful Life in the notes tonight.

Today was supposed to be a relaxing day but was anything but.  The helper and I had some shipping to do, and then we continue to try and make our new postal system online work the way we want it to.  We're trying to get all the addresses we have (in an Excel spreadsheet) onto the postal site - this is not so easy, unfortunately - apparently it's a breeze with PCs but not Macs - but we have Macs not PCs so we're struggling - it's doable, though.  We had to get some supplies and I had to pay some bills.  Then I finally got out of here and had some lunch at Hugo's - the Caesar salad was great, as always, but the pasta papa was AWFUL - I ate it, like a dope (I was hungry and too ornery to send it back), but it just tasted nothing like it usually does.  I think I'm now through with that dish, as the preparation of it is just too erratic depending on the chef.  I then picked up a couple of packages and yet more bills and now I am damn well going to sit on my couch like so much fish.

Cilla, do you recommend any background check sites?  The one I used for my current tenants charged me an arm and a leg and ended up not providing me with much info.  I want to know if they've ever been convicted of a crime and/or declared bankruptcy.

What state are they from?   Here's  the court records in Oregon http://courts.oregon.gov/OJD/OnlineServices/index.page? 

Most states have free criminal record searches if you know where they've been.   I usually use FBI fingerprint checks for my immigration clients.  We can do it for $18, but you can't do that for a potential renter....

I've never really checked for bankruptcy, you'd want to check the federal district court website for your district, or wherever they lived.

He'll just fly in circles....I'm so sorry, but as soon as I saw he may be ok, I just had to say it

Circles is how I thought I would swim one armed. ;D

I would never tell you that you are wasting your time.  I'd love to know the results of the tagging and tracking.  I think it's fascinating.  (not so sure what that says about me, lol)

I am so glad I didn't take Little Ricky to the vet tonight.   He's had plenty to eat, which is good because all food and water have to be taken away in 15 minutes.  He's on his roost right now, but I'll take him upstairs to my room abotu 8:00PM.   I don't think he'll be happy being shut in there, but it's WAY better than being in a cage at the vet, so I'm not going to feel very sorry for him

Tomorrow morning I'll take him to the vet at 8:00 AM.   I have a very busy day, then will pick him up at 5:00 PM and bring him home.  I think I'll keep him in my room instead of the guest room. Callie loves to sleep in the guest room and Ricky usually sleeps on my bed for part of the night, so I think he'll be more comfortable there

I'm baaaaaaack! I spoke to my landlord: the Oaf is leaving but there was no eviction so I can get over my anxiety that I caused his departure.

Would you actually feel bad if you caused him to get evicted?  He has made your life miserable and shown no remorse.

I told the super that I had learned I wasn't responsible for any eviction. His response: "why should you care? Good riddance!"

I love him.

I concur with your super.

My sister got my niece's (the baby with roseola) school pictures today.  The people taking the pictures give a website with background options.

IMO these people are insane. I don't know who they take pictures for, but i'll assume they do little kids pictures and school pictures.

There were 100 choices. And none of them were plain backgrounds.  Everyone that was sort of nice had some weird object in the corner that was ugly. Most of them were either outdoor scenes (fields...) and a bunch were things like the eiffel tower (?).

But a lot of them were outdoor scenes with things like farm animals (cows) in the pictures. Now who on earth wants a school portrait where there kid is standing beside a fence with a cow. Another one had geese chasing the kid.

It was hilarious but ridiculous. My niece is wearing pink. There is one pink background that actually looks sort of schoolish. It has letters in the air. Another pink one makes it look like she is outdoor standing beside a cherry blossom true (nice but is this how one wants the kids school picture?).

Oy.

I think the musical came first, although I could be wrong. It was such a mess: doctors trying to kill the little girl who owned Raggedy Ann and Andy, a werewolf in cahoots with the doctors, a bunch of evil and sexy bats who tried to seduce and strip Raggedy Andy for a map to locate whatever object will save the girl from death. At the beginning of Act Two, the werewolf came down to the apron and howled. This litle kid in the balcony panicked, started shrieking and screaming "Get me out of here!" I thought, kid, you're speaking for all of us.

Maybe if no one buys the photos because the backgrounds are hideous they will put in a plain option.

I've felt that way at more than one show, Elmore.
