The little girl that talked about wanting to see her father and friends is a Yemeni refugee. She was in my class last year. She came to me after having been in a refugee camp in SA for two years. Spoke not a lick of English, had never been to school. Her father is still in SA. She's amazing.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Anyone have a rec for an external hard drive? Doesn't need to be tons of storage - just reliable back up for my work computer.

My Book is the most recent kind I've been using, and it works well. Don't know if they make a Windows version, though.

I've had a couple of Western Digital external drives and they both still work fine even though one is decade old. For backing up I'd think you want to sticking with spinning hard drives and really anything from Western Digital or Seagate will be a safe and reliable pick.

I have two - one is a Toshiba, and one is Seagate, and I've had no issues with either. I don't think you can really go wrong with the major brands (Toshiba, Western Digital, Seagate). I'd just check to see if you can get a good deal on a 1 or 2 TB somewhere and go with the cheapest!

I would like a snack. But I saw someone delivering lunch (including cake!) earlier, and imagine something's going to end up in the kitchen at some point. So now I'm trying to time out when I swing by there so as not to miss it. Will report back.
