Just a quick note to say au revoir to all (see you soon, Timeout). We'll try to hit the internet cafes occasionally to check on email, etc., so if I get a chance and don't run out of Euros, I'll check in from the continent (well, la-di-da).

Now, I need to commence searching for my license, credit cards and MAC card, which I seem to have misplaced and can't very well do without. Arghh.

Uh oh, what's a MAC card? Are they going to let me in Europe without one?

Whew! Found it! MAC is what they call ATM cards around here. Instead of taking a wad of traveler's checks this time, we're going to get our cash at cash machines. It's supposed to be simpler.

We're so ready (except that Mr. M still has to get his 5-mile run in before we go) that I have time to check out the latest news. Cindy Adams vents:

GENEVA- The Global Peace Initiative of Women Religious and Spiritual Leaders is convening this week at the U.N.'s Palais des Nations here in Geneva. Switzerland, famous for its neutrality, is rife with contrasts. An outdoor prayer vigil, with delegates from the 70 participating countries, was denied permission by the government.

Public prayer - verboten! A fine of 25,000 Swiss francs -roughly $18,000. However, one day before, a permit was granted for a pro-Arab, pro-Iraq, anti-U.S., anti-Bush, protest on the main drag. Maybe 1,000 demonstrators. So, it's lawful to burn down a McDonald's "Road to America" sign, throw paint bombs at American icon photos like the Statue of Liberty and parade signage reading: "Sponsors of the U.S. Army are Shell and Exxon." That's OK here, but God they're against.

I mean, what else could anyone expect of the Swiss. Even their cheese has holes.

I have to admit, Geneve was my least favorite of places to visit in Switzerland. Too much U.N. presence, or something, although I tried to counterbalance it by visiting the Wall of the Reformers, like the good Calvinist I am.

Prince William following Chelsea's example:

PRINCE William has moved out of his college dorm and into his own flat, which he's sharing with a sexy lingerie model. Wills, who's in his second year at St. Andrews University in Fife, Scotland, is reportedly sharing the apartment with beautiful co-ed Kate Middleton. Last year, he shelled out $500 for a VIP ticket to a fashion show where Middleton modeled a see-through lace dress. William apparently got the move OK'd because his school chum Fergus Boyd will also be living at the flat. British taxpayers will have to shell out an extra $1.4 million in security since the prince's off-campus digs must be guarded round the clock. Page Six.

Soon to be the plot of an episode of "Law and Order":

The NYPD investigation into threatening letters sent to Acting Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Marylin Diamond is closed - weeks after the Daily News reported a criminal profiler believes she is writing them herself. The threat assessment unit of the NYPD's Intelligence Division has handed the case over to the state Office of Court Administration, law enforcement sources said yesterday.

NYPD detectives from the elite unit will not protect Diamond, 61, or further investigate the origin of the 50 bizarre missives that arrived at her upper East Side home and downtown courthouse chambers over three years, the sources said. NY Daily News.

I wish I were doing a 5-mile run. I've been so busy this week I've only been to the pool once. Must get some excercise in to get my metablism up before I hit all those french restaurants.

I'm only taking my cash card, too. I have 400 euros which I'll keep in my waist-wallet. It's my emergency money, not to be spent until the last few days. I have a $200-a-day cash w/d limit on my card and may need that backup cash.

See you on the 20th!

Thank you so much. I need all the prayers I can get today. MiniT came to be with me last week to be with me since my mother had died. Her creepy Ex thought she had kidnapped the baby, so he drew up some bogus custody order and had the police remove the Baby from our home. We sent MiniT back to NC to retrieve the baby. She had some "so called friends" say they would help her with a place to stay until she could see her lawyer and get the baby back. Well......they weren't there for her. The woman who picked her up at the train station took off with her suit case. MiniT has been wearing shorts and t-shirt since Sunday in the cold weather. She spent the night in a homeless shelter last night. Oh Dear God, we need some prayers!

Mr. T and I sent the creep a registered letter, and I just now picked it back up as a "return to sender" no one lives here, on it. He's not answering the phone, he may have skipped the state with the baby and took he baby again.

At this point, it is all that I could bare. Mr T and I are not eating or sleeping, and I give up.

Good grief - I guess I do not understand how the goof can get all these orders when he has no address for crying out loud. Don't the judges care enough to make a phone call and try to verify what goofy is alledging?

Please don't give up now - we'all been through too much with you for that to happen. Continuing thoughts and prayers upward for you and all your family. JL

Lodwick, they didn't even bother to call us. We were home the whole time. Mr. T and are so angry at this latest "Knidnapping." This man is evil and I am praying the Lord will stop him. My poor daughter has suffered so much.

Good Morning, Guilders. The nurse is setting up Coffee IV's for all in need. I get to be first, since it was my idea, and I'm probably in the most despirate need.

Good Morning!

Sorry I haven't been around, been busy battling dimlibs on the Orlando Slantinel message boards. Wow those bastards lie like a big ole Perisan rug! I just couldn't let them get away with it. I gave them all sorts of goodies to chew on. :-)

I'll start a new thread in a bit, then I'm off to do some housework I've been neglecting as well. But I'll be back!

New thread coming soon!
