I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If I wanted to find a list of Caribbean HIV-related NGOs, is there some sort of directory/resource I could use?

Sorry--I was too swamped at work today to come to b.org.

Anyway, I don't know of a directory for Caribbean HIV-related NGOs, but there's The AIDS Alliance. (My NGO has a very small subcontract with them.) Their focus is mostly in the Eastern Caribbean.

There's a WHO-related organization called CAREC, or the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre. It's for all communicable diseases, but it has an HIV/AIDS section.

Over at idealist.org they have a search by location area, but it lumps Latin America and Caribbean together, so you have to separate jobs in Panama from those in Trinidad.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, I can't believe I got good 401k news today... like mine rebounded about 1/3 of the ground it previously lost in this latest quarter. Did we have a big stock market recovery and no news outlets covered it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ooh, thanks, Calli! That idealist especially dovetails into the second half of the searches she's having me do.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Has anyone ever had their speedometer stop working?

Happened to my '94 Saturn about four years ago. If the problem is at the sender end the fix can be fairly quick and easy and cheap. If the problem is at the display end, like mine was, they generally have to replace the whole instrument cluster. It's not hard to do, probably no more than a couple hours' labor, the difficulty is finding the parts.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ours regained a third, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Huh. We're showing gains for the year. That's new.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The markets went up a little today, but nothing crazy, as far as I know.

ION, aw -- remember that show Buffy?? [link]

In about 25 hours, my plane will be taking off for Kathmandu. Pray I don't kill my parents during 2 weeks together. I've been slowly mellowing, but 2 weeks.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It's going to be amazing, sarameg. Just remember to go off on your own once in a while.
