Very cute kids Fiona!

Thanks! We think so.

At least at their main site it is available for OS X, but only in compile it for yourself form. Have no idea how easy or hard that is for OS X.

I got it from a SUSE package repository so I didn't have to deal with all that.

I aspire to learning how to do that, but realistically I won't have the time or energy for at least another year. C'est La Vie Spidra.

I used to love Les Brandt on Another World...

Skeevy.

WHY do people get perms? A woman in my building has a new one and it's the classic bad-perm look. Are perms now being done by anyone in a way that's attractive?

Bah.

I might be out $2,740.00 for three to four weeks.

Sue! Sue!

I mean, they do owe you interest on that money. It's making someone some interest, and that someone is not you.

Um, you might want to call your friendly neighborhood regulator and see if that is legal. Because while it took my brother a bit to straighten out the tangles of the over-half-a-million overdraft, they'd reversed the initial screw up in a couple days.

I could not be out that much money, tommyrot-- that is ridiculous.

WRT perms, I think it is part of becoming attached to what was fashionable when you were a certain age, and not letting go. Although sometimes I wonder what people are thinking when they look in the mirror. When I was in high school, one of my very favorite teachers, who was part Native American, got blonde "frost and tip" highlights on her black hair. As you can imagine this looked horrible. I sort of said nothing, because I assumed she was aware of the badness (not that I could have told her it was bad, but I didn't say it looked nice either). And then she did the same the next year, for summer. Oh-- it was bad.

Well, Comcast says that they have to wait for the dispute of the charge to come from Visa, and that this normally takes 3 to 4 weeks. They're gonna try to put a rush on it, so it might only take 10-14 days.
