If all goes well, we'll be closing on our new house two weeks from today. It won't be soone enough. Yesterday's project was awful, in part because I couldn't find a damn thing. All my tools are either upstairs where I was working, in the basement or still at Cyn's house. Except for some which may be in the sunporch. And all the ones which I can't locate at all.
That's the way everything is going, lately. Our small home is piled with crap because there's no place to go with it. Not to mention that combining households was tough because there's no place to put everything ,so there's a little of everything everywhere. It's going to be a long two weeks, I think.
A week ago, I said that it was going to be a long three weeks, but this week went by fairly quickly because I kept busy upstairs. I hope this week goes quickly for a better reason.

Olympic e-mail forward
Sep. 3rd, 2004 02:41 pmHere are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."
2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."
4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."
5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."
6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."
8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."
9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them...Oh my God, what have I just said

What hit the Pentagon?
Sep. 3rd, 2004 09:41 pmThere is certain controversy about the airliner that was shupposed to have hit the Pentagon on September 11th. I saw a website about this, back in late '01 or early '02. Earlier this week, I was wondering what ever happened to that controversy, then the ghost of Zuul posted this film. Still going on. I think it was under the radar because it sounds (on the surface) like a classic "conspiracy theory."
But nothing there really sounds crackpot to me. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone can provide any information to debunk this account.
(two sites, same film)

When that other account was first posted by a friend, one of her friends posted a how dare you! hundreds of people were killed there, and my husband was there and he saw the plane! sort of reply. Still doesn't answer the question of how a giant Boeing 757 could hit a building and leave no hole. The previous account I mentioned asked why a jet with a wingspan of hundreds of feet could have left a collapsed wall behind that was no more than 70 feet wide. In this one, they show pictures of before the fire caused that wall to collapse.
For those of you without the bandwidth to view the film, it shows photos of the aftermath, with no sign of a jet airliner - no giant hole, crater in the lawn or aircraft debris of any kind (at the site or being removed). Also includes eyewitness accounts who describe a small airplane, and a secondary explosion, as well as one person who recognized the smell of explosives, and not jet fuel.
So what do you think?
