Buffy ,'Lessons'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Dude. Aaron Spelling didn't break your remote control finger.Funny you mention him, because that may be the only episode of that show I ever caught. In fact, I'm not sure I learned about Spelling on LSotR&F. But I remember, I think when I was in college, that he was buying a home of a celebrity for something like $45 million TO TEAR IT DOWN AND BUILD A GAJILLION DOLLAR "HOME". IT WAS TO PUKE. I may have been taking a lot of poverty related courses (both soc. and econ) at the time.
Ooh, Netflix has this new thing. Or maybe it isn't just new but I only just noticed it where you can add something to your queue and then move it right to the top!

Speaking of new things, the elevator told me that TiVoToGo was being launched. You'll be able to easily transport it to your laptop, or ultimatley, your hand held. I immediately imagined Scola doing this.
Should we worry about these conversations with the elevator, Hec?
That said, if you wanted to give, there are a ton of organizations other than the Red Cross, and many with really good track records of getting what's needed to those in need.
Amen. Once I balance my checkbook and figure out what I can budget to give, I'm thinking of donating to UNICEF. Even if my particular $ doesn't go immediately to disaster relief, I approve of the uses the organization puts it to in general in the affected area. (And so far as I know, they aren't run by people who superstitiously think I'm unclean and possessed of blood that can magically bypass screening tests to spread God's righteous wrathillness among the faithful.)

I feel the same way about Doctors Without Borders.

It just tells me stuff. I don't talk back. That'd be crazy.
the elevator told me
I worked in a building that had those little TV screens in the elevators. Amazing how everyone immediately went from staring at the number display to the TV screen once it was installed.
I talked back to mine all the time, though.
Arthur C. Clarke [link] suggests some charities.
I came into work one morning, and they suddenly had TV screens installed in all the elevators.
Thankfully, now I can now have news stories delivered to me to fill up that interminable wait that it takes for the elevator to go from the lobby to the third floor.
