bad, ugly, and nice

[percival]

something bad:
The German web site "Der Spiegel" reports that the Allies are suffering heavy losses. Basra is holding out longer than expected, and the march on Baghdad is slow. My thoughts are with the guys who are slaughtered in this nonsense and with their families. Let's hope this doesn't turn into our generation's Vietnam.

something ugly: the night before last, I remained logged in at Yahoo!Messenger. The next morning, two open windows greeted me. One enquired tactfully whether I had a web cam. I shall shortly
a) acquire another yahoo account
b) keep shtum about my age and sex there
c) only run Y!M and newsgroups from that account.

Oh yes, and I blocked those two bonzos.

something nice:
- I got an appointment for my fertility check: April 8!
- it's piperx' birthday. Happy birthday to you. It was so sweet to talk to you the other day. Very much looking forward to meeting you.

I got an appointment for my fertility check: April 8!

Hurrah!! And I just got an appointment for the 11th... which is a little... spooky.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. :)

there are more on the Quill.

Btw, can I officially adopt you as my twin? The appointment thing is indeed spooky.

Perhaps we were twins in a past life?

1. "heavy losses" amounting to a dozen seems a bit overblown - what are they going to call it when/if it reaches 3 digits - "massive casualties?" Keep in mind that there have been over 500 casualties for Iraq. You might want to stay away from the war coverage - I don't think it is helping your moods - which are probably pretty important right now!

2. typical - on AIM I get the penis enlarging spam all the time. You think with a nick like "swampfaye" they might figure out I'm a woman...

3. HORAY! Saying prayers for you my dear and sending good vibes!
