Sounds like a wonderful dinner. It is exactly what I would have ordered. Except for the gin and tonic.

Are you still drinking straight clorox?

Enjoyed your book-promotion clip, John G. I would have liked to have heard more from you and Bonnie, but it's still good plug for the book.

From DR Bway:

Just finished my fourth week at the new job. Still pinching myself. It's been ages since I've had a kind employer. The company is owned by a husband and wife -- she was a high school classmate. They are thrilled to have me as a part of their team

You are very, very lucky

From what I can tell the major employer in Weed, the town that lost 150 building over the border from us, is a wood mill. They are sending a good number of their employees to work in Oregon. They will be paid whichever job was at the highest level, be it their job in California or Oregon. Others will remain in Weed to repair the mill. Those who won't have work will receive unemployment. Best of all, all those who lost their homes will be found temporary housing by the mill.

Thanks, I'm lucky indeed!

My heart goes out to the folks of Weed. I couldn't imagine such devastation. Thank goodness there are kind neighbors in Oregon.

Well, I was never blessed with romance or a thriving career, since that seems virtually dead at the moment, but fortune has surrounded me with the best group of friends on- and off-line that anyone could wish for. I've been quite blessed in that dept. and I am very grateful for it.

Awww, and your dessert sounds scrumptious.

All the way to Sacramento. They are overflowing with donations they don't need at the moment. They will in time though.

Enjoyed DR John G's interview and now I want some Smoke Shack Mac!

I could use a whole barrel of that mac.

The shirt was partially for work. We wear red on Fridays to remember all the men and women who are serving to defend the country.

very nice and I think you voice is very nice! I, on the other hand, have a voice only ChasSmith could love

Jane, it sounds as if that Lumber co is run by the right sort of people-- putting the welfare of their employees over profits

Well the AT & T saga has come to an end

vixmom · « **Reply #170 on:** September 19, 2014, 07:26:50 PM »

In past episodes we learned that Vixmom and Vixdad , on the day they returned from Canada, visited the local At & T store where they reactivated Vixdad's phone which had NOT been lost and/or stolen at the security checkpoint at LaGuardia airport but rather had spent the vacation alone and forlorn at home where Vixdad had forgotten it

vixmom · « **Reply #171 on:** September 19, 2014, 07:29:50 PM »

Upon arriving at the At & T the young man, (we'll called him Sean as that indeed was the name on his name tag) advised the Vixfolks that they were able to "upgrade" their phones

Since the phones were about 5+ years old they were quite pleased with this information

They were less than pleased to learn that each "free" phone would require a $40 upgrade charge. Vixmom expressed her displeasure but Vixdad wanted the new phones

Vixdad also decided to add a mobile hotspot to the plan so he could use his laptop on the train... we were told that the hotspot device would cost an additional $20 a month and of course there would be another $40 upgrade fee

vixmom · « **Reply #177 on:** September 19, 2014, 07:39:35 PM »

so while Vixmom was expecting an additional $140 to be added to our usual bill she was shocked when the ebill was delivered it was for over $508

vixmom · « **Reply #178 on:** September 19, 2014, 07:41:52 PM »

It turns out that the phone plan did not cover use in Canada - it only covered calls TO Canada from the US which means that about $100 in roaming and out of area calls were also charged to the bill

vixmom · « **Reply #179 on:** September 19, 2014, 07:43:22 PM »

well Wed Vixmom & Vixdad spent about 2 hours on the phone with "Marlon" who promised to look into it and see if there was anything that could be done to reduce the bill
