NB>>> might make some headway if Life doesn't get too busy on me... ;) BM>> I haven't either for the past several years. Goal-setting is a good BM>> thing, just seems better to do on a daily basis. NB>> The only resolve I have (renewed regularly) is to do the best I can NB>> with what I have to do... ;) I see I still am running about a week NB>> behind... but I'm not going to stress over it... :) BM> Sounds like a good resolution to me! Things will 'get in the way' of BM> our plans. And LISB4, "running behind" on e-mail isn't a big deal. BM> Well, for work and family might be a good idea to keep current! Yup... fortunately don't have much email for work or family... the occasional counseling email that needs attending to fairly quickly, but generally things can ride.... :) And, I still am running about a week behind on echo mail.... probably will be for a while, yet... Hoping not to slip too much from that, though.... ;) NB>>>> True... Makes things much simpler to just use highlighters to NB>>>> highlight, as that's what they're designed to do... :) BM>>> Right, which is probably why I didn't use the markers for much more BM>>> than a star in the margin or title/'tag' at the top. LIS Autumn likes BM>>> them so fine with me. NB>>> Yup. :) BM>> Went to use one the other day to make a reminder sign: Autumn had BM>> smooched the tip a bit so no longer pointed but blunted. Good enough BM>> for what I needed. She'll eventually learn to not apply as much BM>> pressure. NB>> Yup... it takes practice to learn the fine points... ;) BM> Which is why I didn't let her colour with a certain set! Good thinking... ;) BM>>> Essentially the same as what you suggested, and the same reasons as BM>>> why used to (maybe still currently) one needed to talk outside or could BM>>> connect on one sode of the house but not the other. NB>>> Quite probably... :) My sister has issues with phone signal in her NB>>> house still... has to go outside to use the cell phone... :) BM>> If she has a dog wonder if he gets confused? Your sister: "I'm going BM>> to go outside to make a call." Dog, perking up at 'outside': BM>> wag-wag-wag-wag!! NB>> No dog... just as well... ;) BM> When the weather outside is nasty especially so! Indeed....!! ttyl neb .... I feel like a fugutive from the law of averages. Bill Mauldin --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
