Tomorrow is pay day and I will have money again. What a miserable invention is money. Having to count your needs by a dollar value and having to work so many hours to make so few dollars. What sadist came up with this scheme and why do we all make ourselves continue to follow it.

I've already put aside two pairs of pants and one new nightie that I will buy tomorrow before I start work. The pants are both marked down to $10 from being $25 when they came in stock around Christmas. So those are a good deal. I just don't want to think about how many hours I had to work to make $20. The nightie I need because most of mine are silky things left over from the marriage that never grew. It's time I got myself something new and not completely practical. OK, the computer games aren't exactly practical and maybe the nightie is more practical than any of those but... I'm the one making the rules here.

I think the scariest war news lately has been the finding of chemical/ biological weapons. Especially with the SARS and West Nile virus so much in the news here. It's on everyone's mind I would think. Hospitals are closed down under quarantine. How safe does that feel? How easy are we to target with some new disease that we couldn't even hope to fight.

How damn stupid are the Americans/ US to make a war in this day and age? It's also ironic that so many deaths have come about due to their own people having accidents and killing each other.

Once upon a washroom stall...

Take the toys away from the boys.

It still applies.

I don't know who originally came up with this and I doubt I have it exactly right, but here is a quote from "An American in Canada" a TV show on CBC TV.

The rich person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

I really like that.

I found an email list for other Tempo owners. I posted a question about my possibly leaking gas tank. Hope someone has something constructive or informative to say about it. Now that Spring is getting closer I would like to get taking more road trips. Its nice to start out with a full tank of gas rather than half full and wondering if I should stay close to towns for the next refill or dare I wander at will. I'd rather wander at will. Getting lost, getting sidetracked and having no worries.

Snood is a great game. Lots of fun to play when you should be writing or whatever else you are procrastinating on. But, last time I tried it you were forced to install Gator too. Well, I do not want Gator so I decided not to keep the game either. Tonight I ran across a link to the site so I'm trying it again.
