Right now, my parents' neighbors have a bunch of those birds. They run right out in front of your car!

RN, I'm waiting for a phone call about some real estate I'm interested in. The price was outrageously low and I'm afraid it's a typo. I need everyone who sees this to cross all of your fingers, toes, legs, eyes, and whatever else you can cross.

RN I just dl'd IE7 and it's AMAZING! Quite pleased with myself. DH has it on his 'puter and I finally felt familiar enough with it, cuz of poking around on his system a bit, to dl for myself. I got mad at my old one yesterday and decided it was time to upgrade and I'm so glad I did. (It was either very brave or very stoopid, cuz my 'puter guru Bob is in the hospital rn, so if I screwed up and needed help, I'd be SOL!)

Rn, I want to pass on the kindness of a lady in line at the post office today. I was in line for a stamp for my mother-in-law's card, because there were NO stamps in the machine in the lobby. As I'm waiting with my change in hand and card, a lady in front of me asked me if I was waiting for a stamp. I answered her that I was there because the machines were empty out front. She smiled and reached in her purse for a stamp. I started to hand her the money for it and she said no. She said it was quite alright. She told me that at Christmas she'd been in a long line for a stamp and understood. I thanked her for her kindness. On my way out of the post office, I stopped my car and let two different waiting people pass me to go into the building. It's a busy place and they may have had to wait otherwise. I hope that passed her kind act forward!

RN I'm wondering if I can uncross everything yet as it's quite hard to do some things when everything is crossed.

RN Huk'd you have me curious...was the real estate as low priced as it said? RN my sis just called and asked if she bought all the stuff if I could "throw together" an album for a baby shower she has to go to Saturday. Dummy me said sure, no problem. Oy.

RN, I don't blame you, Twinkie! I can't believe someone would go through all that and risk the consequences of robbery just for a lousy inspection sticker! Then again, I'm happy they broke into your car instead of your house. Hopefully things will turn around for you soon and you'll find that dream house in a nice neighborhood.

RN Have a police report. It happened to 5 cars on my street. Apparently, the crackheads can get $50 for a good inspection sticker for people that can't afford to get their cars fixed enough to pass inspection. I hope they catch the <55>. We only have liability on my car so the new window is coming out of pocket. $230. The glass company is coming out sometime today so I have to watch for them all day. Of course I have to keep an eye on my open car, anyway. RN I hope it doesn't rain. Its very cloudy.

RN: Go to the place where you got your inspection sticker, and they can get you another one.

RN Cinnamon, my dear friend Bob is in a hospital having an angiogram... he's been in hospital for a few days now. So I can relate to your concern about your mom's test.

Right now, yeah, we have them in Virginia annually, too. In fact, I am driving around with a "rejection" sticker at the moment because my car didn't pass and the necessary parts were not immediately available. I'm dropping it off in the morning to take care of that, thank heavens. Right now, positive thoughts to Cinnamon's mom and Mamie's friend.

RN I couldn't make up anything this stupid. <55> The glass guy was vacuuming out my car and guess what he found on the floorboard....an inspection sticker! Now, I don't know for sure that its mine since several cars were hit so I call the police and tell them about it and suggest that the thief had it in his hand so there may be fingerprints. The cop on the phone said to me....wait for it.....its good...."Ma'am this isn't CSI, ya know." !! I guess solving crime isn't high on their list of priorities. I wonder what my taxes are paying for, then. So, I put the sticker back in my windshield. If they don't care, I don't either.

RN: Twinkie, when my vehicle got broken into (right after I washed it inside and out, washed the windows etc.) I told the cops they should get the fingerprints off of the glass, mind you this was before the CSI days, and he just said that it would take to long to dust the whole truck. I told him that I had 1000 worth of stereo equipment, and to please dust it, and he still said no. I then explained to him that I had just washed the truck and any prints that weren't mine or his were probably that of the theif....he just shook his head and said that they don't fingerprint for items stolen are worth less than 5000. On the plus side, after that I got to go on a ride along with him to see if the person they'd caught with a bunch of stolen CD's and stereo equipment had my stuff with him. He didn't, but that was fun, we cruised all over town that day. Good times.
