Your ornaments for Cousin Charlotte arrived today.
To the rest of you who said you're playing, I'm leaving town on Thursday
and I expect to have DH flooded with boxes and envelopes in my 6-day
absence.  You have until November 15 to get the goods to me.  Step on

before you, I would have skimmed and maybe even hit catch up with over
1000 posts to get through but you seem to have responded to every one!

to class. "When a teacher asked what is that about I told her we are allowed to

as i've mentioned i have an old house. my old house has
disgustingly dirty windows... unfortunately, the dirty part is
outside of the window, but inside the combo storm windows. the
top halves of the widows do not open.

Box arrived today.  Inventive packaging.  "-)

Today we would have had television coverage of the US elections all day
long... *would* have had. I arrived home from the hobby fair around 1pm
and switched on my TV shortly after to check the news. I have yet to see
anything about the presidential elections. This morning Theo van ...

Sorry if I missed it elsewhere, but did you speak with the Vermont
employer today?  And?

 The weekend before the Sep-11 attacks, my flight back from Europe was full
of Arabs. On Sep-11, Israelis filmed the attacks. Before Sep-11, German and
