Hooray! It seems the EarthLink servers are up and running, again. I was getting worried after two days of “This Page Cannot Be Displayed” error messages. I will say, I have been with EarthLink since I launched my first Web site back in the 90s, and the reliability has been outstanding—with only the occasional hiccup. Today, I have another Sunday A&J from 1994. This is a mild example of the insecurity that characterized Janis in the early years. Janis since has mellowed and enjoys life and marriage much more these days. In reality, the waiter or waitress who hovers constantly around me and pesters me with ceaseless questions and attention is not ingratiating himself. But reality is what insecurity is all about, is?

Mindy from Indy, congratulations on your newly acquired lockpicking ability! I have always wanted to learn how to do it—just to see if I could.
Loon, thank you for reminding me. Alone, we can do anything; together, we can do everything.
Some of us just won’t stop trying! WE HAVE AND WILL.
Look at today’s “Daddy’s Home” on Gocomics.com. The carton isn’t exceptional, but there is one comment that’s a real hoot! I will leave it to you cat-lovers to figure out which one.
OF due 1233-1253 CDT. emb

From a WBBH-TV (Ft. Myers) report about the EC: “Organizers said many people, who paid nearly $400 each, continued on their own and because of that there would be no refunds.
I had suspected the former would happen. (The people Jackie has described to us as EC entrants didn’t strike me as the type who would let a little thing like the USCG pulling the plug on the event stop them from going on individually.) I wonder though if the latter might not make some of the less hard-corps ones unhappy with the organizers.
First eruption that treated me to a bit of rainbow! Peace, emb
I run a total not for profit with annual losses as a party with permits I can only speak for my own self Most of us who are in this are not outlaws and respect and adhere to laws. We try hard to instill this in others

David, hope you are doing well. Jerry, hang in there. Charlotte, keep the leg elevated while you sip tea and munch on chocolates!!
Prayers, Jerry!
Jerry, best wishes that your mother will be okay. David in Austin, hope you are feeling better every day.
Curmudgeon, Thanks for the good wishes. As much as possible, I’m keeping the foot up. Can’t do it sitting at the computer, just won’t work. Some people would lie down and put a laptop on their stomach, but I don’t have a laptop and can’t shop for one or ask my “guru” to get me one just now, he is busy working. (I could easily afford one but had no need of one before the broken bone happened.)
Dear C X-P, Thank you for telling us of that great cartoon on “Daddy’s Home” in today’s GoComics. I never read that strip and would have missed it entirely without you. It’s in the Comments, for any Villagers who missed this. I loved it and Emailed it to all my children who are cat-lovers. My son Bill replied, “Because we keep our house so cool, I spend my days moving the cats over every 20 minutes to keep them basking.”
Today’s (March 9th) “Argyle Sweater” is also worth it; a cartoon bit I’ve never before seen – and it’s very funny!
Good morning Villagers….
Checking in…..forgot to change my bedside clock, so when I saw it was 3, I thought, well, I’ll just lay here a while……4:15 came, got up, got my coffee.(it’s on a timer) plopped my butt down here….logged on and….well you know the rest of the story.
Worked yesterday….did you know that working 7 straight days makes one weak 🙂
So I’ve not had much time to play here….
Ya’ll have a blessed day
Prayers for everyone……Jerry, stay safe.
…as usual, GR 😉
Old Bear….I will get back to your questions…..
Hope you have a good day, Debbe. Me? I haven’t been asleep! One of “those” nights…
No OF prediction yet, but much action west. emb

35F now, maybe didn’t freeze last night, predict high 45, low tonight 32, high T 48. Still more than 90% snow cover, mostly under a foot.
Peace, emb
More lab results tomorrow. It’s been 9 days since I last did dialysis. That Is definitely a plus. I’m beginning to be hopeful that the kidney is recovering from the trauma of 22 hours transport.
We are pulling for you, David!
