Well I slept late, it's pouring w/ some thunder occasionally, & we still don't have water or a plumber. Needless to say I missed the Creative By Nature Seed Starting event. Off to a stellar start here. LOL! Yesterday started off pretty good, I even had an Eggo for breakfast. Angela called & we chatted for a couple hours at least, then it was house cleaning time. I fed the pets, watered the dining room plant, dusted off the living room audio system, put my boom box up in my office where it's going to always be now & went through the freezer & decided to use some of the frozen peas w/ the next dinner. Then Greg called & we talked about day labor for working on our little water pipe "project" & he said he'd gladly come along & help w/ that (picking up the day labor), then I went to work on eBay, Kyle made us macaroni & cheese for lunch, I checked the love quote of the week, & got some machine knitting done before Pete got home. He brought some rolls home so I had a nice sandwich for dinner, we watched Fringe & headed to bed. Today I recorded a password in AnyTime's Password storage feature. I've never stored personal passwords anywhere before. I was always afraid one of the kids would find the list & render ALL passwords useless, but I'm at a point where I can start storing them safely in a list. Plus I'm getting old & remembering all these passwords is getting annoying. :)
As clearly & objectively as we think we see things, we begin to realize others see them differently from their own apparently equally clear & objective point of view.
Check the store policy:
Doing your research right away boosts your odds of making a successful return. As soon as you receive that unfortunate sweater from your well-meaning aunt, check the retailer's return policy on its website to learn how long you have to take your gift back, whether you need a receipt & if you can expect a refund or store credit. It's worth bringing along a printout of the policy. Retailers often take on a large seasonal staff during the holidays, & temporary workers might not be fully aware of the rules.

If you don't think your work is appreciated, just do as Oscar Wilde once suggested: "The best way to appreciate your job is to imaging yourself without one."
Instead of saying "Good morning," sing "Good morning, America, how are you ..." & as much of the rest of the song "The City of New Orleans" as you can remember.
It's no joke! Circus officials in Liverpool, England, banned clown shoes because they breach health & safety rules.
On this day in 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake devastates the Caribbean
island nation of Haiti. The quake, which was the strongest to strike
the region in more than 200 years, left over 200,000 people dead and
some 895,000 Haitians homeless.
The earthquake hit southern Haiti at 4:53 p.m. local time. The nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince, a densely populated city located about 15 miles from the quake’s epicenter, suffered widespread devastation. Countless dwellings were reduced to rubble, while hospitals, churches and schools collapsed and roads were blocked with debris. Numerous government structures were heavily damaged or destroyed, including the presidential palace, parliament building and main prison. (At the time of the quake, Haiti lacked a national building code, and many structures were shoddily constructed.) In the aftermath of the quake, amidst fears that victims’ decomposing corpses could spread disease, trucks picked up thousands of bodies and dumped them into mass graves.
Even before the earthquake, Haiti, which occupies the western third of the island of Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic occupies the other two-thirds), was the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with 80 percent of its 9 million residents existing in poverty. Political corruption and violence, disease, malnutrition and limited access to education were a way of life for many in Haiti, which gained its independence from France in an 1804 slave revolt.
A large-scale, international relief operation was launched soon after the quake hit, with the United States taking charge and sending thousands of military troops to Haiti to deliver supplies, assist with search-and-rescue efforts and help maintain order. Relief efforts initially were hampered by earthquake damage to roads, communication systems and the Port-au-Prince airport and main port.
Governments and individuals around the world made donations and pledges of aid to Haiti totaling billions of dollars. However, on the first-year anniversary of the disaster, reconstruction efforts were still in their infancy. Thousands of people left homeless by the quake were living in tents, and only a small portion of the heavy debris resulting from the disaster had been cleared.

May your daughter's 1st affair be with the United States Marine Corps.
Unplug electronics chargers when they're not charging items. For instance, a mobile-phone charger plugged into an outlet still draws energy even when no phone is charging.
