I dropped my phone in a toilet and now it's broken. This is the second time
I've broken a phone by dropping it in a toilet. Shut up. All of you. SHUT
UP!
Oh, my.
Dear dear sweet Erin. <dramatic sigh> I wish so much I was with you so
that I could be having a drink with you. (even though we drink different
things,
surely we could comfort each other. Okay, maybe for different things...)
But, *I* would have dropped MY cell phone in the toilet had *I* had a
premonition (as you apparently, even inadvertently, did...dang, but you have
this
electrical impulses thing down!) like you did.
I mean...you heard him. All of us did. But, *I* at least did not know that
Canada was a third world country and had horribly unsafe drugs.
No wonder you THINK you didn't do what you thought you should do on your
exam (me...well, being who *I* am, an oblivious American who didn't think that
Canada was a third world nation, thinks that you are being awfully hard on
yourself and that things are not quite as bad as they seem...not just in your
exam life, but in ANY part of your life. I mean...WE know you are bright and
incredibly astute. And, there really are few few few Others in this entire
world [third or first <g> forget the second <wry look with an apology to any>]
who could ever doubt it.)
Besides. I hope you have some sort of cell phone insurance. Do you? If
not...in the interest of staying in touch with Erin's life, I suggest that the
rest of us (who are STILL WAITING for that Lit-Ideas Grand Party which was
promised ONCE UPON A TIME...can you tell I like parties and to talk...<g>)
take
up a collection--but ONLY if she promises to get a cell phone with the whole
video picture component so she can email us the grand photos of her Life.
And, no wonder I didn't go to Toronto when ALA was there, after all. (I had
planned on it two years ago but ended up not going.) I am, though, thinking
of going to another conference there the middle of November. (But was
thinking more in lines of heading to Niagara Falls--IS it really as close as
it
looks?? esp if I take Ben out of school, I want it to be really awesome for
him...[like not hanging in a hotel going to the pool and messing around
wouldn't
be so for a 12 year old...<g>]. And, what IS there to do/see around
Toronto, anyway??)
Still. We ARE now talking Canada. Home of the newest third world country
that I have known existed. (Okay, so I was MISTAKEN. I really did NOT think
it was a country that did not have the facillities to take care of its
people--I admit it freely. I really thought it DID. <sigh>)
Just done with the debates. Ben is camping--I told him 'no politics' while
he was there--he is to tell the other Kerry boys. (All the leaders are weird
[I know their lives and it just does NOT compute...] and are going to vote
for Bush and I do NOT want these boys left in the middle of nowhere because of
it...[dang. Do my trust issues come out or do they come out?<sigh>] Well,
NONE of you were at Monday's meeting...<sigh>]
Wondering if I can manage to make it up and out and the sacrifice of time to
help those in my suburb as they assist with the Kerry-Edwards goal of
contacting a million voters...(hey. It's Saturday. I have NO CHILD with me and
I'm
supposed to get up and where I need to be for this by 9 am??? Dang. I might
be up but will I be moving? Nevermind. You don't need to know that I recoup
my sleep on the weekends...)
Oh, and Andy. No, I'm not lost. Or gone. I have just been dealing with
this huge 10 mile hiking per day business. With other camping equipment
shopping issues. <sigh> (I was told by two of the "expert" camping hiking
leaders
that they have FOUR sets of gear for the four types of camping and hiking
stuff that you do when you are a scout and/or really like to hike.)
Ben and I have decided, though, that we will go camping this summer--but in
some sort of RV or, at the least, a pop-up camper (I did that when I was a kid
and I do remember it being fun...)
