Supper time here. My daughter Dyan just made us her famous baked Haddock with added rice pilaf and seasoned asparagus... Mmmmmmm... I made brownies for Devin today too.
Will try to connect later if I can stay awake. It's been a loooong day.
Thank ghod there is good food, otherwise I would be depressed at this point. ;) It really is a rallying call and an anti-depressant.
Computer probs all day...arrrrrrrrrrghhh!
Raining here. Need it badly.
:-)
Yeah, has been kind of.
I got an e-mail from my ex-boss in Colorado today; my ex co-worker's in the hospital with kidney failure; he said no one know's why this happened. I can tell he's very upset, and that was about all he wrote. He's known her for probably 15 years I'm guessing.
Be good and you had better have fun!

These are called gifs!
Have a nice dinner. Perhaps we'll see you later, then.
Glad you check in Gran and hear from you!:)
You sure know how to make one hungry enjoy!
See ya!
Coffee, tea, and me?

Stupid is as Stupid does....
N.J. Eatery Writes 'Jew Couple' on Check
LOCH ARBOUR, N.J. — The bill was a shocker, and not because of the amount.
After eating at a Jersey shore restaurant, Elliott Stein and his girlfriend were handed a bill that said "Jew Couple" near the bottom, as a table identifier used by the waitstaff. The slur also turned up on Stein's credit card statement weeks later.
"My grandfather went through all that in old-school Europe," Stein, a New Yorker and a regular at the restaurant, told the New York Post. "But that happened more than 50 years ago. You don't expect it to happen in 2005."
The New Jersey Attorney General's Office said Wednesday it is investigating the July incident at Parkhill's Waterfront Grill through its Division on Civil Rights.
Stein, 23, could not be reached for comment Wednesday. He did not return two telephone messages left at his office.
The server, identified on the check only as Karina, is no longer working at the restaurant, general manager Malia Wells said Wednesday. Wells wouldn't say if it was because of the incident.
"We don't run our establishment like that," Wells said. "It was definitely poor judgment on her part."
Stephen Reid, a spokesman for the restaurant, said it had been the waitstaff's practice to use descriptions of diners to identify them on checks, instead of using the number of their table, as many establishments do.
He said racial slurs were never used to describe diners.
