Crashed again

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 18:16:08 +0000

If anyone sent messages to the list today please send them again. I am
having a terrible time with my computer. It has wiped out my folders
again. I do not understand why it is doing this. I would appreciate if
you wrote that you would resend them again. i am sorry for the
inconvience but this machince I would like to toss at this moment. I
really am angry after the week I have put in to have this happen when I
get home.

M’s off - where’s Christine?

We have discussed this before that Marius will not be back *on* until our
Monday afternoon. His weekend. He calls it 3 days, but we *know* it’s four.
Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun. He left in the wee hours of this morning, therefore,
until Monday afternoon is actually 4.5 days.
Things will be rather quiet while he’s off unless Christine starts giving us
details.

diet drinks

Two responses:
A drip from a straw turns the stick or tape a color to determine glucose in
a drink. Some people don’t think *usually* is sufficient.
On the 2300+ list I’m on they just went through a major thread over drinks
in restaurants. 25% of the canisters were hooked incorrectly. Just because
it says *diet* doesn’t assure one that it IS hooked up to diet. New York
just had a recall on a certain Diet Coke lot number that had Regular Coke
incorrectly bottled in 2-litres. Labels and handles do not mean we’re
getting what they say. That’s why many test the actual drink.

A Mother¹s Love Is A Haven In The Storm Of Life
A mother¹s love is like an island
In life¹s ocean vast and wide,
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the restless, rising tide.
A mother¹s love is like a fortress
And we seek protection there
When the waves of tribulation
Seem to drown us in despair.
A mother¹s love is a sanctuary
Where our souls can find sweet rest
From the struggle and the tension
Of life¹s fast and futile quest.
A mother¹s love is like a tower
Rising far above the crowd,

*They* say that 75% of what we worry about never happens. Therefore, only
worry about the 25% that will and save the stress.

TOP TEN REASONS TO ASK YOUR BOSS FOR A RAISE:
10. You take your paycheck to the bank and the teller bursts
out in hysterical laughter.
9. The Red Cross calls and offers you emergency assistance.
8. Your only charge cards are for the Salvation Army, ARC,
and DAV thrift stores.
7. You work full time and you still qualify for food stamps.
6. You empty out your piggy bank and then cook the bank and
serve it for your Easter ham.
5. All you can think about morning, noon and night is
clipping grocery coupons.
4. You file your income taxes and the IRS returns them
stamped, “Charity Case — Return To Sender.”
3. You set the world record for mailing $1.00 rebate requests
to Young America, Minnesota.

BBQs

Do you hosts know you have special requirements? When accepting the
invitation, mention that you have some diet restrictions and will bring
something with you that will fit your needs. They may ask you what you need.
That is your opportunity to ask them what they will be serving. Then you can
mention that you would appreciate it if they withhold your portion before
adding sugar, etc. to it. That is acceptable here. I did it lots. I know a
Russian (Ukrainian) lady who was always amazed at our carry-in dinners. They
don’t do that there - never thought of it. But when she’d go back she never
told them about it to start a new tradition. The people just don’t eat
together because it’s too expensive to feed a lot of people.
w.O.w.
