Welcome Tommy Strangernomore. What about Frank (the Man) Manesseri? whosoever has joined us seems familiar with the ways of the cyberunderworldcorpse.... and Exxie, who gonna lead the kareoki, or the solemn hymns (or hers)?

--> Better get that kitty some prozac! Paranoia is a double edged sword...

niKa, I might read it when it gets to the library. I see no need to fund her $8M fee.

Oh, niKa, really. How DO you feel about it? (just kidding). Actually, comparatively speaking, the hit and run was probably mostly carelessness (just guessing, not trying to justify or minimize). I'm mainly glad I don't have to listen to His Arrogance (double entendre, intended) on the news anymore. They say the new sheriff in town, er, bishop, has a no tolerance policy for the sexual misconduct and cleaned things up (NOT the way Tom O'Brien did) in Santa Fe, firing about 20 priests and NOT placing them in work elsewhere. Of course, there is still the question of whether those bozos should have been prosecuted...

Yes, I will bring my camera, and since Karm is hostess, it would be most ungracious of me to not honor that request.

2 in my party. (me and a 13 year old offspring) and I already have a class 1 fingerprint clearance card (same thing teachers have to get to show they had a criminal records check). Now, what's this about an agenda? How about we meet, greet and sit down to eat?

great idea niKa, I'm going to have trial run on the reunion thing with first union of sorts with some in Tucson next month... simon has also sounded like he would be there.... weekend of July 20, I think. And simon, you think the POPE is private interpretation, don't even talk about the head guy in Phoenix...

Many thanks to SZ for help us to maintain (or regain) perspective in this quasi spirchal quest.

Well Sir... I live in Chandler (West Chandler, near Rural and Chandler Blvd). Where's the art gallery? And YES, it is an open invite. Of the people who have expressed interest, I met 1 last year (Zshot), first met another one more than 22 years ago (Simonzelotes) and another one about 15-18 years ago (Jen O).

Saturday please.

niKa, I knew a pharmacist once upon a time (really) that was probably about our age and played (plays) hockey (in the desert?!) from time to time. He used to tell about taking the 800mg motrin like it was candy. And of course we missed you. With ex-kabible, I will promise to aim better next time, however.

One has to admire rancid verbosity? Well, mebbe.

weren't we talking about a mid-week date? if weekend, then at this point, July 20 is better than July 12 for me.

where were YOU? recovering from NJDebilry?

Wow, niKa that's some hot, or at least steamy, prose... for a cool day (when the kids are away, and your honey is near). And simon, to edit: if you are properly logged in (accepting cookies), click on the icon with the pencil eraser on the folder (lower right, next to the posted time and date). That image represents a request to edit.

Simon, Do you need cookies and socks? Or should we say,"put a sock in it?" (jus kiddin) Been pretty hot out lately, eh?

tnks niKa. my real mom gives essentially the same encouragement, with emphasis. :)-->

btw, the judge ruled, affirming custody with me, pending a review in Sept. More or less a thoughtful ruling with the possibility that he will find less reason to hedge after the summer.

Or as close as possible thereto anyway! :)-->

Why IGO, I bet they are falling in the isles, or aisles after having the OhShanta Shakes! But, do the OhShanta sNakes (on the other side of the menu)taste like Cheekin?

tnks niKa... mooch grassias Holy Shanta batman! I Got Clout is at it again

tnks ex, I can relate to THAT word....!

Simon, thanks, one nephew, one niece. Doing reasonably well. Professor, no big bucks, no attorney (got a couple of hours of advice back in March, but no funds for more), BUT... all is well with the world today. Judge still has not ruled, because both the other parent and I gave him more food for thought, in writing, today. HOWEVER... the judge was 180 degrees turned around today. Anyway, I am thankful and it's going to work out. Thanks Ex, niKa and simon for the support. (and my Mom came to court to support me... maybe the most important).

ditto, or... what ExCath said. What a beautiful family.

Thanks niKa. His name was Michael. He was younger than me. His kids (now 19 and 25) had a rough time because he died in 1992. Anyway, I'm a relatively calm basket case today, as court is tomorrow. I know I'm doing the right thing. The ex gave clues last night that she is far from done fighting me. The judge still favors mothers, but I have a strategy I hope will work (completely legal and ethical, derived from Dale Carnegie...). Anyway, I just ask for your prayers. thanks
