What significant things have I done today?

That's why this gets ever more popular.

In the UK they force people who are out of work to work free for various organisations and companies and retailers. If they refuse or fail to keep up attendance etc, they lose their unemployment benefit. There is so much wrong with this I cannot even begin to describe it.

[Opsa]

They have discussed doing similar in the USA.

Significant Thing: I made appointments for several overdue medical screenings.

[Bruder Cuzzen]

I've been discussing buying a vacation property on the island . Ye all welcome to sail on over when and if I get the deal done

[Opsa]

Nifty, BC! Ahem, I mean- Y'arrrggghhh!

You gonna build there, or what?

As long it isn't a time share...

[pieces o nine]

Toadfish sharing time is better than real estate timeshares.    

That sounds like a fine endeavor, BC!

Nifty, BC! Ahem, I mean- Y'arrrggghhh!

You gonna build there, or what?

It hasn't been decided yet , I have to get a passport and discuss the details with the people who will steward the place , once I decide on a place .

[Opsa]

Sounds very exciting!

[Bruder Cuzzen]

I'm having second thoughts about Cuba though . What do you guys think about buying something in Cuba ?

Apart from rum, you mean?

I know they're trying to open the country to business but you should figure out what the taxes would be (they may be high) and what other specifics are relevant there.

Again, if we're talking about a timeshare, avoid like the plague, regardless of the location in the world.

Failed to find a new hanndbag.

[Opsa]

I know how you feel. I haven't found one that's quite right for quite some time.

Our children's theater previewed its improvisational show yesterday. We survived! (But my back is killin' me today!)

[pieces o nine]

Yay, Ops!


[edit] Yays!  Griffin has coached me into the 21st century world of Skype. I still have some work to figure out why the factory-installed camera I've always kept a Chinese fortune cookie tag over *can* see me but my new little one can't...

Thanks![/edit]

My sister set up Skype for me a few months ago, but I haven't used it yet.

Mr. Ops and I have been painting our re-done front two rooms of our house. Everything is covered in plastic right now. Can't wait to get the plastic off, the light fixtures up, and the furniture back in (somehow!).
