Well I survived the blowing of Katrina.

I think people made it bigger than it was supposed to be. Just a lot of rain and wind.

Thanks to all people yesterday who inquired.

Evening everyone!

Glad to learn that you survived the storm DR Michael.  I didn't think you in the path.  

We've barely even gotten any showers from it.

I had my mid term eval today.  It went fine like always.  I'm always very nervous before one.  I don't know why.  I never get a bad review but it's like getting a report card.

I think the Never Ending Book story is a horrable tale.  I would do my best to get my money back with interest for your time and disapointment in not getting what you were promised, BK.

I also have a BK question.  I don't know what put it in my mind but on the bus ride home I was thinking, What will happen to the Haines His Way board?  I mean down the road.  Will it be saved to a disk/cd some place?  Will a book be made about the posts?

We spend so much time here and share so much of our lives that it's like a diary of sorts.  We've been here for each other when things were good and when things were bad.  

Someday, when we're old and gray it might be nice to look back at our posts and reread what was going on in our lives at the time.  Is that possible?

Weird thought, huh?

I was very productive today and pulled out tons of stuff from our cabinets.  Then I got tired and left half the stuff sitting at.  Needless to say Keith is frustrated.  I took a very short, 5 minute, nap and have eaten.  I think my energy is returning so I can finish what I started.

Danise going with your thought I attempted, once again, to search the notes archives-still not working.  I can pull up the last 500 posts for anyone but can’t get the next level which is “all” posts.

I can however archive the early posts beginning on November 9. 2001.  I found some interesting people, Elan for one. :)  Also amongst the first posters was William E. Lurie.  I sure miss him.  I continued to read through to the 5th day when I made my appearance.

I ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut at 7:30. They told me it'd be 40 minutes, which we could live with. At 8:40, the guy calls and says he's on his way. At 9:05 the pizza was still not here, so I called to complain and the girl on the phone said, "the driver's out for delivery now." I said, "he's BEEN out on delivery for 35 minutes - I don't want a cold pizza!" She said it was on its way and I said I wanted to cancel the order. She hung up on me.

So I called back a few minutes later 'cause I was pissed off and asked to speak to the manager, who sounded like he was a 14-year old from the South Bronx. I explained what happened and all he offered was to have the guy go ahead and deliver the order and only charge me HALF - OR I could give him my address, which they'd "put on the wall" and next time I called I could get my order for half off.

What's this "half off" crap? After an hour and a half the pizza still hadn't arrived and he wants me to PAY for the damn thing? I don't think so! It's a $15 pizza - give it to me free. ESPECIALLY if it's gonna be cold when it gets here!

I told them that I would prefer NOT to put my name and address "up on their wall" and that I was uncertain as to whether I would continue business with their establishment at all.

Now it's 9:20 and no one has eaten. I'm thawing a pound of ground beef at nearly 9:30, which means no one eats for at least another hour.

Half price my ass...

Thanks, Tom.  Sadly when you change your name, it goes back and changes your name on all of your posts, so it is impossible to honor both gentlemen.

Jason call the 800 number for Piza Hut.  I bet they will send you a coupon for a free pizza.  It won't do you much good today but it is better than nothing.

Our, it was really for Keith, beautiful flower arrangement lasted a full two weeks and I still have a small bouquet of yellow daisies.  Two of the deep red roses dried out and I have them in a white bud vase sitting on our new powder room sink.  Keith agrees they look lovely.

Jason, this is DEFINITELY not your week!

But think of the anecdotes you're accumulating for your autobiography.... once you're famous! :D

The pizza's cold but the rant is bloody hot!!

Oh, and by the way, I should be mad at DR Jane (and her DH, Keith) because she posted about Google Earth.  Oy vey!  Talk about an addictive program!  This is more addicting than Bookworm ever was or ever will be!  I've spent too many mornings google-earthing the addresses in my address book, not to mention too many evenings and too many midnights. . . .

On the other hand, THANK YOU DR Jane for pointing out such a fascinating program!

Well, good for them!

I'm all dried out and I don't look lovely!
Maybe I should seat in vase!
