I couldn't ask for a higher compliment, David. Thank you!

You are kind to say so. Most of my flying is, to borrow heavily from Douglas Adams, merely missing the ground.

Once again, Kevbo, you manage to be insightful and witty at once. What are you, a Facebook-lover? ;)

Surprisingly so, to me, because I was writing from the gut, from the heart, not from any well-informed opinion on world politics.

I am similarly bummed, Wirehead.

I looked in the wrong dictionary, offline. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this. I respect entrepreneurs a great deal, and particularly in this economic climate. You must be quite a tenacious person! Good luck with your business.

Maybe they have mattresses stuffed with cash!

I don't get it. Are you saying that I'm whinging? If so, I think that word does not mean what you think it means.

Cocoa Pebbles stimulate *something*, but I'm not sure it's the economy ...

Agreed. And which laptop?

I'm so glad to hear your situation was temporary. You're right; I'm very lucky to be dealing with this now instead of then, and in the Bay Area, no less.

I would play "Arthur's Theme" by Christopher Cross on it.

What a charming comment, you lovable rogue.

Oo, that is a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it with me!

Aha, so that's why they were familiar! You must have told me about them, and I just wasn't ready!

Great suggestions, everyone. I have a little more perspective now, and a lot more humility.

Thanks, Gary. I admit that I didn't even write it as a prose poem, just a recollection of my experience earlier that day, but I am flattered that it came out well enough to seem intentional.

You are hardcore! I didn't start until this morning. I'm trying to make at least 3k today so I have a good, solid start.

Re: no on prop 8

Hannah, I have done my own research. Before you start commenting your own opinion in my journal, you might want to do yours.

Domestic partnership is not the same as marriage. A domestic partnership does not grant the same federal rights as a marriage, because of the DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), and may not be legally recognized outside its state of origin.

Prop 8 is a case of discrimination because certain people -- same-sex couples, in this case -- are being discriminated against. The comparison has been made to the Jim Crow laws of segregation, the concept of "separate but equal", which was also discrimination.

Hi, Jonathan. Sorry this happened to you (and, by extension, to Stikipad users). Any idea when Stikipad will be back up, even temporarily, so we can access and export our data?

Hmm, comments. Do you really want us to be able to talk back?

Re: hear you

cygnoir — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 23:51:13 -0000

Thanks for your comment and your compliment, Kathleen! I am looking forward to meeting you and to working with you as well. See you very soon!

Thank you. I've been enjoying your entries about your trip to Scotland! FunkyPlaid and I will be heading that way this October.
