X- Welcome back! I had Chinese this evening, so far so good. Nice looking leg.

OTG-Have I welcomed you to TD? If not, I apologize and welcome to the wonderful world of TD.

Lise- I am so happy for you!!! J sounds lovely, his family delightful and I love the name he chose for his dog.

I need to go to bed. Too little sleep makes the symptoms more pronounced. I do not know why. I would call Dr. KIJ's nurse, but she is not friendly. I can wait. Anyoo, you ladies have a wonderful evening and I will catch you in the morning.

I can't go to sleep. Well, I was asleep for four hours, but now I am awake. BF left unexpectedly for three days. I had dinner made and a movie (Thank You For Smoking) to watch, and a bottle of wine. I wouldn't even say goodbye, and now I feel badly.

[Lise]

((((Nanci)))). I saw your name on TD and thought, "What are you doing up?" Go to bed, girl. It will all be more bearable with some sleep. See? Jennifer's asleep! Me too. Going to bed now. 'night, TD.

You new girls to TD realize there is a quiz at the end, right?

I bought a PDA today - a Palm TX. I found one that had been used at a trade show, technically used, but still with all accessories and box - for $100 off the regular price. Now maybe I'll stop missing my appointments - providing I figure out how to work the thing, and make it talk to my Outlook calendar at work.

We had a emergency drill at work today. The scenario was a terrorist bombing at Moffett Field, with radiation cloud fun thrown in. We'd get little email updates with THIS IS A DRILL plastered across the top.

I would die without my Palm. I read the New York Times on it on the way in to work every morning. (avantgo.com, snap) My debit card records are in it- like a checkbook register. My Wine Enthusiast software, and my cellar records. My diet software, Calorie King Diet Diary, which I was religious about for over a year before I- I don't know what happened, but you can clearly see the results of not caring. I use HanDBase for all kinds of databases- triathlon/cycling events, vet records, continuing education,blood donation...I use a program called BugMe! to write notes. SplashID has EVERY number- insurance, credit cards, bank accounts, passwords, DL numbers. I like mileage calculator- it has almost every city I ever look for. And of course the built-in Palm simple functions like notepad, calendar and address book.

Hey, CC, I probably won't be up when you post, but I wanted you to know I always appreciate your posting and like reading what you have to say in the morning when I get up.

Take care!

Obsessively watching election returns on news websites...Checking the numbers over and over and over again...

I opened the door tonight after biking home from work and on the counter are/were a dozen roses from my dearie for my birfday.

I wanted to hug him but he's not home tonight.

Oh how I love my dearie.

c- you're lucky.

My DSL went out last night at 2:00 AM, so then I finished this really good book of short stories, Reasons To Live, and then I had nightmares about people breaking into my house to kill me and then going swimming with people I was afraid of and realizing at 2:30 PM that I had missed the UPS guy that had Inez.

Inez didn't leave Colorado till 9:30 last night! She got to Kentucky at 2AM and spent two and a half hours there, (maybe she got to check out the new IM KY site) and then left for Jacksonville, FL, (90 minutes NE of here), arriving at 6:23 and leaving quickly at 6:48, on her way to Gainesville. I imagine she should check in and out of Gainesville around 9 AM- then who knows how long it will take her to get a ride here- 15 minutes from the UPS hub.

I hate being home alone at night. Maybe I will bring my pepper spray in from the truck.

Inrz is turning into quite the "world" traveller

My DH is out of town til Friday. I hate being home alone as well. Luckily we have a small arsenal at my disposal..... (Don't judge me cuz I'm not a democrat )

[Nanci]

I used to have the use of a shotgun and I felt very safe at that time. Maybe I need a replacement.

Someone tried to break into our house about a year ago. They didn't get in, though they tried both doors. My back door edge was bent to sh*t, but the deadbolt held long enough for the person to give up. Oh- I don't live in a "real" house, I'm in a trailer- so you can imagine the security issues...(But my house payment is super cheap, and I live on gorgeous land, five acres, which has quadrupled in value since I bought it) But anyway, I think the neighbor's barking dogs scared off the person, and it happened after we left for work, while it was still dark out. I was scared sh*tless for months. I put wooden bars on the windows so they couldn't be opened without breaking, put motion detectors outside that go off if there is anyone walking around anywhere, put motion detectors in the house that absolutely SCREAM if anyone comes in- you couldn't even stand to be in the house- bought a lock for the front gate, put up Beware Of Dog signs. Put the outside lights on phototimers, bought timers for inside lights. I think it helps always having either the squad car or the pickup here- at a minimum. Then BF and I worked out this whole defense plan of what to do if I heard someone out there and he wasn't home, involving the shotgun- where to go, etc. Florida has a newish law that no longer requires a homeowner to retreat before shooting- you only have to be in fear for your life (and this applies to personal vehicles, too) which, trust me, if someone came in my house, I would be in fear for my life. The only thing that worried me was that Maizey's viv (and now the torts') is in the spread pattern, so, what, "Wait a minute before I shoot you, I have to move my snake..." Anyway- I'm less fearful than right after it happened, but still can't sleep and have nightmares if I do fall asleep.

Chyk,

What centuries are you planning for next year? You're sort of in the same area for the big cool ones as I am. Like Three State Three Mountain is for sure. That's in Chatanooga. And Six Gap- northern Georgia.
