Re: [MOL] Kathy

Hi Kathy,
You sound like me. I used to do that too. This year all I have done is take a trip to COSTCO to stock up on staples. I hadn't been there for a couple of months as I didn't want to deal with the pre Christmas crowds. They really don't have the after Christmas crowds because they don't have sales. I do a lot of my shopping for clothes from Penny's catalog. I like the Worthington Collection. The quality is good and they deliver it to my home. I am getting worse and worse about wanting to avoid crowds.

Glad to hear your weight is back to normal. I need to lose some weight but I won't use any of the crash diets. They aren't healthy. I bought the Doctor's Clinic 30 Program. I have been reading it and plan to work out menus with the proper exchanges for a nutritionally sound approach. My intentions are good. Let's see if I can follow through.
Love, Liz

Hi, Liz: I hate to shop, too. That's why I do it so seldom. I wait until after Christmas, and then I hit the store and buy everything on sale in about an hour. I did that tonight. I didn't try anything on and I hope it fits. I really didn't particularly want anything, but I did need a few new clothes -- people at work are beginning to feel sorry for me, I'm afraid. Guess what? I'm back to my normal weight judging from the way things fit when I got home. It's time to put on the brakes now. It was fun while it lasted though -- a six month pig out! LOL I did get a really nice chenille top, though. It's a lovely shade of blue and comes almost to my knees. I'm quite short and stubby. I like it, though. Feel great tonight. I'm going to go watch TV pretty soon now with my children -- Norman, Guido, and Button. Love, Kathy

Well, I hope you found some good stuff on sale. I hate to shop so bad I really don't go very often.

Liz: Then you are surrounded!! LOL Your Harvard brother is probably a lot like Steve, whom I happen to adore, in spite of his stuffiness. I worked at a law firm in Lake Oswego for many years with three young attorneys just out of the DA's office in Clackamas County. They were all graduates of the University of Oregon. They spoiled me. I had begun to think that all attorneys were as down to earth and unaffected as they were. They were my best friends. Then I came back to Idaho and was in for a shock. Enter Steve Thomas, fresh from Manhattan, the little brat! In his defense, though, he is brilliant and if you care to take the time, there is a personality and a sense of humor hidden beneath all the forced dignity. He's approaching 45 now (I can't believe it), and his hair is snow white. Makes me kind of sad.
Well, I have a little extra money -- not much, but some -- and I'm going to hike down to a sale during my lunch hour. I don't even know where to start, I need so many things. Self-control is needed here. Love, Kathy

Not at all. One of my best friends is a legal assistant. You remind me
of her. I also have two brothers who are attorneys. One of them,
particularly, takes himself pretty seriously and choses the more
obscure language when a choice is available. I might add, he is the one
who attended Harvard. My other attorney brother attended the University
of Oregon. He works in negotiations and he is lots more down to earth.

certainly don't!! It's just the weird world I work in. It does things

</smaller><<fontfamily><<param>Arial<</param><<color><<param>0000,0000,FFFF<</param><<smaller>HI

Kathy,


Although I feel correct punctuation is important because it can make

written language clear, if I had to chose between a doctor who really

understood the medical aspect clearly and one who could punctuate his

report of it clearly, I would chose the doctor who really understood

his field. As for attornys, even with correct punctuation, much of
what

they write is incomprehensible (legalese). On the other hand, I have

had many students with beautiful penmanship who wrote well punctuated,

grammatically correct papers which said nothing of consequence, were

illogically organized and were full of fallacies. Good writing
involves

writing something worth being said.


Liz


Sorry, I am on my soapbox.



<<excerpt>Liz: Good for you. Content really is the most important

thing, isn't it? However, I have been unfortunate enough in my career

to have worked for no less than four Harvard graduates (English

majors), and one Rhodes Scholar. These attorneys were sticklers on

punctuation! They taught me well, even though I was contemplating

homicide a good deal of the time. As I understand it, Lillian, the

punctuation goes outside the parentheses, just as the punctuation goes

inside quotes, i.e., "He is a jerk," or "I've attached his mustache

hereto as Exhibit 'A'." Does this add to your confusion? It does to

mine; in fact, I don't even want to THINK about it!! LOL Love, Kathy

<</smaller>I guess I am one of those teachers who is more concerned
with

content than


with punctuation. And I alway critized those folks. There are some


punctuation areas that are really hard to figure.
