Right now, Weinermr, don't feel bad. I don't think anyone's every taken me seriously.

Right earlier when I was driving the kids home from school and listening to the radio I heard something I thought was kind of cool and that all the Bon Jovi fans here might enjoy. Seems they're taking their video budget and giving it to Habitat for Humanity to build 4 (I think they said 4) new houses. Then they'll film their new singles video at the site where the houses are built. Thought that was a creative way to give something back!

Right now I have no idea what was happening with the cable.. NO reply from the email but it seems fine today. Last night it continued to cylcle through crashing and booting and was completely unusable. And it didn't record anything on the schedule (lucky for them there wasn't much on last night, I watched One Tree Hill upstairs..) But my recorded stuff was still here so I watched the remaining two Starting Over episodes this morning. I appreciate offers of tapes but I've only got one vcr that sort of works anymore.. life moves on. Weinermr.. it seems to have been around for awhile and may be of British origin.. LINKforGoneMissing Q. In the last three or four years, I’ve noticed news media using the phrase “went missing” to describe a disappearance, as in, “A child went missing today” rather than “A child is missing today.” I have always assumed “went missing” to be informal slang or a colloquial expression, not a part of the more formal grammar generally used by the media. Have I missed a shift in “correct” grammar? -- Elaine Truver, Chicago A. This is the most common question sent in by e-mail. A search of the LexisNexis news database suggests the use of “went missing” and “gone missing” has increased slightly but steadily over the last 10 years. But the phrase is well over a century old. In a column on “gone missing” last year, the New York Times’ William Safire quoted the BBC News Styleguide as saying, “`Go missing’ is inelegant and unpopular with many people, but its use is widespread. There are no easy synonyms.” At least not in news reporting, where the phrase is used specifically to describe a sudden and suspicious disappearance. “Is missing” doesn’t do the job. Incidentally, what about the BBC Styleguide’s seemingly redundant phrase “unpopular with many people”? So much for language fussiness! ... Arnold Zwicky advises: my impression that this was originally british—i recall being struck by it on my first visits to the u.k., back in the 70s—seems to be supported by others’ observations, for example the discussion in http://www.businessballs.com/clichesorigins.htm (alphabetized under “missing") mildly entertaining discussion on the Vocabula Review website: http://www.vocabula.com/forum/showmessage.asp?forumID=2&messageID=1218 Merriam-Webster Online identifies it as “chiefly British”. as does Safire, as quoted by Mark Liberman in a lengthy LLog posting of 6/30/04: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001142.html

Right now, I just got hubby off to work. I was so glad he was home last night when my best friend, Chris, came over. They used to work together and I worked in the same building and would go see hubby on my breaks and would talk alot to Chris and we'd go out on smoke breaks. So he and I got to be friends and then he and hubby became friends. So it was good that we could all catch up on each other. We actually figured out that we hadn't seen him since July. I'm so glad he's back for a while at least but he may go on another out-of-town job in Dec. My spirits are so lifted having my bud back. When hubby and I told him about my recent health problems he went straight to the kitchen to make sure we didn't have any "bad" foods in the house. LOL I TOLD him i was being good! Sheesh!

Right now I am having a hard time taking seriously Weinermr's claim that he is delighted with Seamonkey's find.

Right now Juju, I'm very happy with Sea's find. I'm glad I'm not the only crazy person that's driven up the wall by some of this stuff. Next we have to work on the countless appearances of the word "actually"......

Right now I'm happily surprised that someone, namely Sea, could find an answer to Weiner's serious question and have so much detail on what I thought would be an obscure find.
