I slept on & off all day yesterday & then went to bed stupid early compared to the night before but still had no trouble getting to sleep. Let's hope I have more energy & make it through today better than I did yesterday. I did manage to get a full multicolor panel made on the new afghan I started yesterday. Picking the next project & yarn is as fun as knitting it! Kyle is in McKinney today & left bright & early, Pete has headed off to work, I'm awake early (for me) & I have the house all to myself now. I haven't heard from Eve in days. Today should be a very productive day & I'll be in & out running errands today. City council meeting tonight.
Always be the kind of person you want your children to be.

Lido:
A fashionable beach resort.
Sharon bought a new bathing suit in anticipation of her upcoming vacation at a luxurious lido.
The original Lido is a beach resort near Venice, Italy. The town's name comes from the Italian word lido, which means "shore" or "bank." (The Italian root derives from litus, the Latin word for "shore.") By the mid-19th century, Lido's reputation as a chic vacation destination for the well-to-do was the envy of seaside resorts everywhere. English-speaking social climbers generalized the town's name & started using it for any fashionably Lido-esque beach.

Setting her sights on handsome real-estate agent Peter Donahue after a
brief nightclub encounter, party girl Christina Walters -- with her two
best friends in tow -- embarks on a wild road trip to track him down in
this ribald farce.
On this day in 2005, a Russian Priz AS-28 mini-submarine,
with seven crew members on board, is rescued from deep in the Pacific
Ocean. On August 4, the vessel had been taking part in training
exercises in Beryozovaya Bay, off the coast of Russia's far-eastern
Kamchatka peninsula, when its propellers became entangled in cables that
were part of Russia's coastal monitoring system. Unable to surface,
the sub's crew was stranded in the dark, freezing submarine for more
than three days.
At 1 p.m. on August 4, the Priz, trapped at 190 meters below the
ocean surface, issued a mayday call. The Russian navy soon began to
organize a rescue mission, asking for help from the United Kingdom, United States
and Japan. In the ensuing days, while the three countries mobilized
rescue crews for the trip to eastern Russia, the Russian navy attempted
to first lift the sub from the water and later to drag it to shallower
water where it could be reached by divers. Both approaches were
complicated by the 60-ton anchor attached to the cables that had
ensnared the sub. Finally, with fears mounting that the trapped crew's
oxygen supply would soon run out, the six-man crew of a
British-owned-and-operated Scorpio-45 rescue sub arrived and was able to
cut the sub loose. All seven on board, which included six Russian navy
seamen and one representative of the company that made the sub,
survived the ordeal.
The Priz incident occurred just five years after the Kursk, a
Russian nuclear submarine, sank, killing all 118 people on board. In
that disaster, the Russian government had delayed asking for outside
help for some 30 hours and was widely blamed for the sailors deaths.
As the disaster unfolded, Russian President Vladimir Putin stunned the
public by failing to address the nation and even refused to cut short
his vacation in light of the tragedy.
Although Russians everywhere were relieved and happy that the Priz
was successfully rescued, others could not believe that the Russian navy
had not acquired its own rescue equipment in the five years since the Kursk tragedy. For many, the Priz incident highlighted the effect of a decade of decay on the once-mighty Russian military.
Wait a second! What do you mean you don't have any other source of income to live on while you're in school? Didn't anyone ever teach you about a little thing called work? Some worked 50 hours a week all through college, & still graduated in 4 years. Nowadays, many people would call that child abuse. It's absurd!
What was the name of the heroine of Gone with the Wind before author Margaret Mitchell changed it to Scarlett at her editor’s behest?
Pansy.
Thank GOD the name was changed! I was named after that character (my middle name is Scarlett). I love that name & I think if my middle name was Pansy I would have never EVER told anyone what my middle name was & would have eradicated it from my existence.
