You probably wouldn’t love this part of the world, either We might hit 51 today, although for us that’s an unusually warm December.

The late Igor used to say, “A change is as good as a rest.” The longer I live, the more I see the wisdom in that statement.

I tried to access the genealogical data that I had stored on several CD-ROMs and after the first one, containing the info for my son’s birth father, I’m in tears. The disc is blank.

I have 10 more discs with genealogical data and I’m afraid to even start looking. Add that to an earlier event today and the tears are hard to hold back.

It will take me three months, at least, to reconstruct, and I promise I will print out hard copies.

I am so tired of my lack of foresight... One would think, after I had to start over four times after computer crashes, that I would have printed out the data of every morsel of info I found.

I changed my underwear this morning and I don’t feel rested.

No, don’t ask me about yesterday.

Check your driver.

Did you get any CDs with the compooper? If you did, try them.

You may not have lost your data. You may have a problem with the CD-ROM driver or its firmware. I’m reading a post on Google where someone with at Dell had the same problem. If you want to look it’s ccm.net/forum/affich-706515-dvd-writer-shows-all-disks-blank-or-insert-disk.

Don’t you agree that the orphaned baby of that terrorist couple should be given to a nice Jewish couple to raise?

I think I’m like, maybe three or four generations away from when I “thought” I put this stuff on CD. Still, I installed the original program and it automatically got updates, so I’m still not happy. Would it do any good to take the offending CD’s to Kinko’s to let them check?

This is so overwhelming for me.

I took a shower and changed my underwear, yesterday and that’s how the world works.

So yesterday sucked just as bad as today.

That baby deserves a good home, and a Jewish one would be perfect!

I’m particularly thinking of the couple watching from Hell and yelling “Nooooooooooooooooooooo” all the time. :)

Reformed Jewish couple. That way she can know what a cheeseburger is and what joy bacon brings to food.

Let her know how marvelous pork chops are. And I hope she has a dog as well.

"You probably wouldn't love this part of the world, either"

I like the part of the world that I'm in because it is centered on the happiest people there.

I think I would like that part of the world, since I’ve read so much of your stuff...

I’m not sure that I expressed the concept properly. What I meant was that wherever I am, I’m happy to be there.

That said, it is a weird place. Sometimes I think my eyes must look like “Mad-Eye” Moody’s eyes; I spend more time looking inside my head than I do looking out the other way.

Evening, epople. We went to yoga class. It forces you to turn off your internal dialogue, because you have to concentrate on what your limbs are doing, or you’ll go splat. At the end of an hour, I feel completely relaxed.

No wonder I haven't gravitated to yoga. I never turn off my internal dialogue.

I wouldn't my inner me to think I was mad at it.
