tartarione

right back at you on the weekend.

I was going to shorten your name but some how using just the first four letters seem a little inappropriate.

OOOPs! snuck an in there.

Hello tartaronne

Basically the most recent part of the three years of hell has been trying to pay for the utilities. I am behind on Gas, Electricity, and water. The day before the Electric Company planned on shutting down our power I had breakfast with an old school chum. I told him what was going to happen on Monday. He suggested he could loan me the money and I would write him a check. I told him I was sure it was too late. He said well you can try anyway and if you don't have the money when it comes time to cash the check call him and he would hold it. I agreed to try. As it was the Electric Company agreed to to accept the money and not turn off the power. Shortly after this our sewer drain backed up. The plumber I called charged twice as much as the last plumber. I accidently called the wrong plumber. I had already paid out the balance of my last paycheck and now I had to cover the plumber's bill. So I asked my oldest son to float me a loan until the 22nd. He did. So at the moment everything is almost stable. If I can avoid and major disasters for a month or two it sure would be nice. Then maybe I can get caught up on my bills.

It is almost 2400 so I am off to dream land. I may even sleep in late tomorrow. Have a swell weekend. Good night -- Mo

It has been a day of procratination

I slept for twelve hours and have only done this and that as the desire took me.

A bit of cleaning, shuffling some papers on my desk, browsing and reading the h2g2, reading a book, knitting and so on.

My youngest (son 15) came home from the nearby city where he an his schoolmates have partied for two days and brought home with him two friends who'll stay the night. One kg. pasta and the same amount of sugo milanese disappeared like dew in sunshine.

I'm not in the mood to discuss serious matters and my husband just returned from a billard tournament at the local bodega so I think I'll round the day off with a film on tv.

Have a nice day.

Hi

I see, you are on-line

Still I have a lot to do workwise and I want to have time and an undivided mind when I response to all you've written.

All Friday and the weekend I'm going to a union meeting and workshops for three days.

As predicted you fit right into the salon.

See you.

Hi tartaronne



Mo

Congradulations on your being selected. As a journalist do you travel alot doing research?

I see you!

Is something happening? I keep popping out and back in to hootoo?

Popping to and fro - so do I. Very annoying


No, I don't travel at all, abroad that is. But I go lots of places to research and make reports and/or interviews.

The story I'm writing now - and cannot get flowing (I've been at it since 06 this morning) - has all been researched and interviewed from home via a written analysis, phone and the internet for the last three days.

I'm really tired now but the deadline is tomorrow morning - and I leave for the seminar at 5.30 tomorrow morning - so I'll sit here till I'm done. With a break of two hours when I go to my choir practise . That might even provide some new energy.

It is today , isn't it.

Congratulation.

Thank You. Just got home. Took Bonnie on a long ride. Past through New London where I see J Patrick's has Margarita Madness on Wednesday. Just wondering if your friend from there was a partaker of Wednesday's madness. Drove past Cleveland which is 100 miles and turned around because it was getting a lot of snow east of here.

Good luck on the article. Some day I would like to create my own Web site. Then maybe you could send one of your articles and I can see what a real journalist does. That is a direct slam on many of our American "journalist" who have forgotten that jounalism is about reporting on things not slanting stories to feed their own agenda.

Mo

I just rememembered your not the one who was talking to Pandora. Sorry!! I get mixed up in my old age. I bet that was a bit confusing.

Mo

I figured as much as you were confusing me with someone else. But sometimes it *is* difficult to remember what you said to who in which thread.

Three hours for the last article. I must be able to do it.

Then I will attend a seminar and let myself be entertained and educated.

Hi tartonne!

Hi Mo

Glad you haven't given up on me.

I have spent all day editing our school's magazine. In the afternoon I have interviewed a pupil of 9 who gets special reading classes - and her mother this evening.

8 hours a week and homework for 3/4 of a year - and now she is a confident reader. And she doesn't want to leave the special course called a reading-lift.

I'll write it in the morning and then I'll start looking at my bonus son's homepage on adults with ADHD. Never a dull moment

But this week I'll take my time to give you a proper response.

See you

*waves*

Hi tartaronne

I think I will google and see what is out there on ADHD & ADD. Maybe a clue on how to get my doctor to try me on something.

Glad to hear about the reader. Reading still beats the movies unless it is a Jackie Chan or Jet Li movie.

I'll catch you later.

Mo

I had a chance to try out an american webpage with a library, HighBeam research, for free - an anniversary kind of thing - and found a lot of articles on ADHD - ADD and adults.

If you have an e-mail adress you will disclose here I could send you some of them.

Now back to w*rk-

See you

Hi tartaronne,

Here is one That I don't use but check periodically. If it does not work let me know.

[email protected]

Thank you for the help.


Mo

Friendly sheep you've got there .

Only one article to go - I'm fed up with writing journalistic stuff . I want to have fun and correspond with my friends *sulks*

I'll get back to you with the ADD-articles. Next time you write an e-mail adress here you should write it like this (see later) so search machines cannot pick it up whizzing by (- is what I have learned on this site):

My e-mail: luckyplet at yahoo dot dk

Here's a companion for your

Hi tartaronne,

I am just checking the messages. I am sick. Think it is a chest cold. So I may take tomorrow off. I went in and my supervisor Andi told me she appreciates my coming in but I do have have plenty of sick time. I've maxed the amount I can save. Plus I have to use up better than 80 hours of vacation time before July 1st.

Goodnight and thank you for the companion to my .

Mo
