"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What a relief. Ulcer over a heart attack any day.

To quote Woody Allen from Love & Death (which was on cable today):

Russian Noble (actually played by Rhoda's dad): The duel is to the death!
Woody: I'm not allowed to do anything to the death. Doctor's orders. I have an ulcer condition and death is one of the worst things for that.

Grant & Green, Columbus Cafe, possibly Crow Bar

Actually, none of these. I know we started and ended at Amante. And Ace's was in there somewhere.

Belated birthday wishes, Suzi love! Sounds like you had an awesome time!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Aimee, I'm glad things are looking less serious regarding your mom. Fwiw, when I had my first acid reflux attack, I totally though it was a heart thing.

Of course I've forgotten Amante and Ace's. There's always a haze.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Fay, so much ~ma for those little ones without their dad.

Aims, I'm so glad that your mom's heart is doing ok.

Askye, bless you for taking in two adult cats, even though it is a challenge. They will adjust, and they will learn to trust and love you. Please have faith in that.

I'm going to have to take out a student loan for next year. Never had a student loan before, and the information that I'm finding online is confusing. Anyone who's done this before know the basics of what I'm supposed to do?

Hil, I wish I could help, but it's been over 12 years since I've applied, and Al Gore invented the Internets, and they blossomed, and I suspect everything is different. I'd advise talking to your financial aid department. There will be lots of forms. They will require tax forms from the past few years. I think going through the Government is better than through a bank, but that's just me. good luck!

Yeah, I'm planning to go talk to the financial aid people tomorrow. My teaching assistantship runs out after this semester, and my parents said they could help me some, but it's not going to be enough for all my expenses and stuff. What I really need to talk to the financial aid people about is whether I qualify as a "full- or part-time student," since the university just has us register for a one-credit class while we're doing dissertation research.
