Maybe it wasn’t so hypothetical

Wednesday, April 30th, 2003

The message board situation exists, I was one of the donors. The only acknowledgement has been a throwaway one-sentence line (like “I’m not being evicted now, thanks to some people here) in the midst of a longer post about other things.
I’m not asking anyone to bow down and lick my toes, but [...]

Hypothetical situation

Wednesday, April 30th, 2003

Here’s a situation. You’re in dire financial straits. You’re a regular on a message board. Others on the board learn of your problems and send you a bunch of money ($100 per person, in some cases). Do you:
a) Thank each contributor personally
b) Thank each contributor publically
c) Make a blanket thanks publically [...]

Diddling

Monday, April 28th, 2003

Well, maybe I won’t redesign totally, but I’m cleaning up the sidebar and adding in some coolio tags I found on The Girlie Matters.

Pant, pant

We’re closing on the old house tomorrow, so we’ve been busy cleaning out the accumulated junk from the garage over there. There was stuff from storage, stuff from my grandmother’s house from when she died, stuff we threw in boxes and raced out there when the septic tank flooded the house, stuff we didn’t [...]

Breastfeeding activism

Friday, April 25th, 2003

This boils my blood.
One woman was considered a terrorist for breastfeeding her 4 month son on an airplane.
This woman was brought up on charges of child pornography and had her kids taken away from her after she dropped a roll of film off at an Eckerd’s for processing. One of the photos was of [...]

I’m dangerous

Thursday, April 24th, 2003

A couple of weeks ago I got really mad and threw my mouse which careened off my LCD monitor and now I’ve got a bright spot in the middle of it.
Earlier today I ran to get the phone and my 12″ aluminum Powerbook fell off the table onto a corner and bent the case.
What shall [...]

Fiesta week

I really miss Fiesta Week. Makes me sad. I’d post more but I’d get sadder.
