*crickets* Yep, still.

It seems there is respect for beliefs, but when they get militant/in your face/try to convert you, things get dicey. There seems to be a trend that if the belief set is diametrically opposed, (one goes one way, one goes the other,) then that tends to cause tension. I tend to respect beliefs of others, and tend to avoid the militant types as many have stated. Unfortunately, I tend to attract them in droves. (Come on, do I really look like I need soul salvation?!)

Waiting for the call, and waiting for the time to make the call.

Necessity break, then eat some snow peas.

Much ado about nothing this week.

Strangely Zen.

Would you care for albumin powder, dry milk, or chocolate sprinkles on your latte foam?

I will give them until 10am, then give them a call. If nothing, home and clean. If meeting today, go to it.

I would concur with both Gimp and Eternal. While not the worst the worst thing that has been directed at the President by Congress, and both sides are guilty of doing the similar, (even when being booed by Congress/Democrats in 2005, in the segment I watched (just watched a video at an attempt of completion,) Bush was not *blatantly* interrupted, he pressed on. To have to be loud enough to give pause and force the President to focus on him for that instant I found disrespectful. I have found some disagreement on one topic or another between what I believe and what every person that has held the office of President believes. I have since I have been old enough to vote for or against them. But I respect the office and give the person in that office a modicum of respect.

Very nice.

The whole thing, refusing a reward if offered. Being around enough elderly people would lead me to believe that the contents are the remains of her entire life's savings. If you had to live forever, what would be your preferred method of immortality? (vampire, antiagapics, cloning/mind-transfer, etc.) And why?

Happy Birthday, Riku

I will go on the "old leather jacket" sensation. When all you experience is one thing (pain, hatred, love, etc.) for too long, when we are put in situations that we aren't exposed to that one thing, it makes us uneasy and we feel out of our element. We don't know how to act. That one thing, no matter how detrimental to our well-being, gives us comfort, like the old leather jacket. It may be worn, it may not protect you against the elements, the spikes (if you like those type of jackets,) may dig into you to the point of bleeding, but after breaking it in and having it for so long, it just feels emotionally comfortable. The problem is to abandon the old jacket, and try that new one, or make the best effort to put some distance between you and said old jacket.

+1 And let's not forget, he is also a dialysis patient, so his body is probably very frail now. I was still in the DC area when the Pentagon was hit. We were non-essential personnel being in school, so we were ordered to evacuate the NCA (National Capitol Area.) I was about 20 miles out at home, so I went home for the rest of the day. Before we left, we watched in horror at the towers being hit as close to live on TV as possible. A friend of mine was a medical officer *at* the Pentagon. He was one of the organizers of the rescue/evacuation efforts. Everyone was staged in the center garden, and then evacuated from there. He had generals/admirals letting him issue orders to them for medical evacuation. The flight pattern into Regan National has become obnoxious from what I understand, to avoid these buildings. I got lucky 2 years prior and got this picture: That is from my month with the 1st Helicopter Squadron out of Andrews AAFB. And no civilian craft has been let this near the building since 9/11, if memory serves. Now I don't know for sure what side this is, but I believe that the side closest to the chopper *is* the side that got hit.

I don't know which is more horrific...the new movie or the hairdos in the old trailer. *raises eyebrow* You got something against old people there, youngin'?

Fresh spinach I love. Canned spinach has to be made unhealthy with lots of butter and salt to be edible to me. Why do we have a critter called the fly, and not one called the walk?

Has a desire to duel with ostrich tail feathers.

The evening meal.

OK, *now* what?

Show where things are in the lab...got to give them time to settle in first.
