ION, I'm having way too much fun with this. (Yes, I named it as if it belonged to Clovis. It seemed only appropriate for a virtual pink bat created by "Bunny Hero Labs.")

But you can click on it and make it eat bugs and flap around!

Good lord, Teppy, that's ridiculous.

Did y'all know there's a musical called "Saving Aimee"? Mention of it on dcist.com made me giggle.

He wants Teppy to react, so he can prove how "unreasonable" she is.

I'd give him as few words as possible -- something like, "I have no unresolved issues. Thanks."

Ugh, Teppy. I think you might need to resend your previous correspondance where you did clearly tell him your position. Clearly he didn't read it.

I skipped hundreds of messages. Was sick yesterday with intestinal distress. Then last night I was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep at all. My upper right side (gall bladder area) was very painful all the way through. Just sore and ouchy everywhere. So I went to one of my docs this morning. No kidney infection. Did an ultrasound, gall bladder and liver look good. He says he doesn't know. He took bunches of blood to check that everything is functioning right. Could just be sore from a pulled muscle or achy from whatever caused the original distress. Maybe ate something icky. Short version, blah. I don't ever go to see my docs for help. He did offer me pain killers since I am in pain, but I turned it down. He really didn't want me taking anything in case it got worse anyway.

It is subsiding some. I'm just a big baby.

Yeah, you resolved it for you by quitting, I think. Of course the scars remain. Although...most places, that's just an expression.

Oh, poor Laura.

After checking the thread on the Treo, where I could not see the Matilda toe eating pics, I have now seen them. Even the legions of posts saying how adorable it was did not prepare me for the KYOOOOOTE!!!!! made me smile, and I have saved it for when I am having a crappy day and need a pick me up.

yep, I'm seeing it sunday.

tep, may I suggest:

Any issue that I may have had in the past has been resolved with my resignation from the board. I find that I am more productive as a member of the group than of the board, but I thank you for the invitation to "work things through". Best of luck in future endeavors.

Ooh, Vortex is good.

Save me from what???

Down to the wire and I've started packing "Misc" boxes, which I was determined NOT to do.

I've lost all human capacity for rational packing.

"Misc" boxes

I suggest "misc from (the desk/the kitchen/the big closet)" if you can't list what's in there. At least then you'll know generally if one of those boxes might have what you need when you're looking for it.
