How much warmer are we talking. 70s? 80s? I'm trying to figure out what to pack.
That sounds most excellent. I have made absolutely no plans and am entirely reliant on the social instincts of others.

Layers are always good for SF, because of the fog.
Juliana has social instincts! Let's move this to email and see what her plans are.

D'uh! I don't mean tomorrow, I mean Tuesday.
I bet you could go hang out in one of Juliana's bars tomorrow though.

Dana, I'm told an icepack around the top helps with irritation.
Because I am a big public radio and tv dork, I'm watching this weekend's PHC on PBS. A) Meryl Streep is fairly good at this. And she looks lovely and has a lovely voice and makes you want to hug her and b) I'm familiar with and terribly fond of the song Calling All Angels from the soundtrack to some Wim Wenders film, done by Jane Siberry. Wailin' Jennys nailed it. I cried when I heard it on the radio yesterday, and again on tv tonight. I almost wonder if one of the Jennys is Jane. They got all the notes and inflections that make it so poignant.

Dana, I'm told an icepack around the top helps with irritation.Just don't make my mistake and read that as "icepick" at first. Because I don't think that would help at all.

Y'know, I've never seen that movie. I probably should. I just have the soundtrack (which I love) from a college friend. I think I only recall the director from the other films (Far Away, So Close? The one with the Gorby speech in the middle. And then there was the Meg Ryan remake of the predecessor to that one.) Oh and I have the Jane Siberry When I was a boy cd.

I actually got the soundtrack when it came out, and then saw the movie several years later. I don't remember too much about it now. I think I enjoyed it, but not so much that I wanted to see it again anytime soon.

Well, tomorrow will be mostly taken up with flying. Will check my email now, but after that will be going to bed, so feel free to plan without me and let me know what you come up with.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Dr. Horrigan said there was anecdotal evidence that some members of a community use e-mail and the Internet "to keep up with people very close by."
Well sure. This is generally how I make plans to go out to dinner with people....who I met on the web.
They're all counted equally, which I think is as it should be.
That's not how I read this:The Internet can help expand social networks, although the ties it creates are not as strong as those the Duke researchers are concerned with. Yet they can be useful.
What reads to me as "LD relationships aren't the same as those with people you see regularly" seems to read to you as "nobody can form real relationships online" and... I don't understand how you're getting there.
I'm not sure how to answer that, because I'm getting there by reading that. By separating online relationships from offline they're saying they are not equal, and in what I quoted above says they are not as strong.
I'd say that my relationship with you is much stronger than my neighbor who occassionally offers leftovers and came to stare at my sagging bathroom ceiling last night. Meeting you didn't strengthen our relationship, and you can't race here to comfort me when I'm sobbing into my hands about some loser boy. In fact, an email from you would likely mean more than a F2F contact with someone else. Sorry for the anecdotal, but I'm not quite sure how else to explain, since we seem to be reading the same thing and walking away with vastly different understandings of the text.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Thanks, 'Suela.
I parsed it a few times and came up with ... get with your lawyer. Deny that you own an email address. Make somebody prove you own a computer or that you can type. Show up in court blind. Request a translator from Hestapholian.
While the court is trying to figure out what language Hestapholian might be, grab a cab.
