Back from out-of-contact-ness.
Mar. 1st, 2006 01:27 amThat was a fun trip - rode the El, saw the Shedd, played Scrabble (even managed a word that used all seven tiles in the second game - too bad they were all one and two-point letters. But it was a double-word score. So ANNELIDS managed to net me 68 points.) and quite a few other things. All very fun. And, during the first game, I had the following letters in my rack (although not as the only letters in my rack):

uncle_pervy, I forgot the Wu Xia. Gomenasai. But I did remember the music. So it's not a total loss.
Wakko, break out the movies. Don Knotts died. I'm sure the Warner tower has been paying tribute with nonstop showings.
Cocoa can be good for you. Whether or not the fats and sugar counter the antioxidants, they don't know. But the occasional bit of cocoa product could help your health.
A resignation letter worth reading. Once again, be nice to your sysadmins - they know far more about you than you think. Don't push them to send letters like this one. Even better, make sure that you don't give the sysadmin ammunition to use against you, if at all possible. Problem is, the managers like the one being given the letter probably doesn't know how to cover his tracks anyway. Not a good situation all around.
And in the "staring at the abyss and hoping somebody blinks" department, South Dakota is rather near to banning abortions that don't directly threaten the life of the mother. No exceptions for rapes or incest. Although I'd say that "danger of the mother" provision could be stretched to include the lare number of girls who will be driven to suicide because they can't get rid of an unwanted rape baby, and who might have to sue the court to make sure their rapist isn't made a permanent part of their life by having custody. One might make a staement about it by leaving the baby or some representative likeness thereof of all the unwanted babies on the steps of the state capitol building. If this passes in South Dakota, how long before a similar bill comes before the federal legislature. Am inclined to say this will run afoul of the apellate courts nd possibly the Supreme Court, and it may be played up as a case that could reverse Roe v. Wade. The world gets scarier, one bit at a time, every single day.
