I finally got so tired of annoying emails from a Univ of Calif campus asking me to call the Governor to ask him to raise my taxes again so the UC budget wont be "devastated" that I finally took the time to disenroll from the email list.

I had to do fingerprints and a stool sample (not at the same time thankfully) to disenroll and then they send me an email advising me that someone was trying to disenroll from the email list. [8|]

Being a UC grad, I have received the same letters, postcards and emails.....in Minnesota. So, I'm supposed to call up Governor Moonbeam in another state and tell him how his party's unified control of both houses of legislature and the Governor's office should cooperate better together?

And they wonder why California has been losing people for the last decade?

Cap, there is likely a waterboarding verification team on its way to your location right now. Don't answer the door, mate.

My congratulations to her!

In addition to physiology and anatomy they can teach her how to spell "pediatrics" the right way. [;)]

Good news:

Apparently just balsa wood Nells and Helens at Rangoon so far.

Bad news:

There are Tojos, probably on escort duty.

What is the escort range for the Ki-44?

I looked it up.

Next you'll be telling me I can't spell aluminium.

Don't you just love that the fighter sweep with the P-38's FROM THE SAME BASE goes in AFTER the bomber raid?

At least they deigned to participate this time.

Well, at least the pronucitation of "aluminium" makes sense phonetically. [:)]

I think JJ is a bit miffed.

I am still interested in your insights about this. I have trouble with this kind of thing because of my borderline Asperger's syndrome. [:)]

Certainly at a dinner party Asparagus syndrome can be annoying, but it really shouldn't bother you through email.

Actually, my main problem at dinner parties is staring too long at breastesses....or if someone says something bad about Ronald Reagan.


My take on JJ right now is the high command may be a bit demoralized. I also have a notion that Admirar Rord Nerson has the Pacific and New Guinea so he is missing out on all the fun. [:)]

Alterantively, he really was captured and treated badly by the Comanache.

The nice thing about breastesses (alright, the other nice thing) is that there will be another pair along soon.
