'War Stories'
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.

If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
The best is the enemy of the good.
Per the quote index at Bartleby [link] Voltaire quotes fall between here [link] and here [link] Some are only in English. Some are in both French and English.
It's definitely that first one! Thanks! That'll make the French much easier to find.
Array.
OK, just kidding. I like to feel part of the group.
I have achieved the Damn DVR!! Hint for people who are afraid they'll do too much shopping: Get a really extra heavy cable box at the start of your trip, and make sure there's plenty of walking to be done. It works!
I have no idea what you people are talking about.

Now I know what you're talking about but I'm still confused. Is this like that expression/statement thing on yahoo?
All but three animals at the New Orleans Zoo survived. (Perhaps the Zoo oficials should be put in charge of disaster planning?)
FYI, people in my local Target didn't know anything about the Red Cross benefit emergency kit thing, so if you want one, get it online. [link]
So my mother had some sort of weird reaction to medications on Friday, went kind of delusional, had a seizure, went to the hospital, had an MRI, all her tests are good but they're re-calibrating her medications. She seems to be fine now, but. As a result of this (and sundry other medical issues), my parents are finally giving up the summer house in New Hampshire.
I seem to have volunteered to fly out in October and help empty it for sale. We've had this place since 1974, and the memories lay thick on the ground. It's going to be hard, but I can't imagine not seeing it one last time before they sell. Wish I could buy it...
I'm glad your mother's pulled through the seizures and so on. It sounds like a scary situtation. I'm glad you'll have a chance to see the summer house one more time, Consuela.
It seems that NC will be taking on some of the Gulf coast refugees. Charlotte, Raleigh, and Greensboro have all offered to take folks.
I went by Target yesterday and they had no idea what sort of disaster preparation kit thingy I was talking about. But they also said that some things were only at individual stores and that word might filter down after Labor Day if there was a nation wide push.
My day has been keeled dead by the site going down, and then discovering that I couldn't eat for an hour after my typhoid pill, and then sitting down in front of the tennis. With a stomachache.
I still need to go erranding, damn it! But I think the gym has fallen out of the picture.
That is hard, Consuela.
I just realized that I have every single move channel right now, as far as I can tell. I'm guessing it's a weekend special, so I'm trying to record everything in the world. It will still be in the DVR even after I don't get the channel anymore, right?
