my friend sue sent this to me:
An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger said,"I'm Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball player, the Lakers need me, I can't afford to die... So he took the first pack and left the plane.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, said,"I am the wife of the former president of the United States, I am also the most ambitious woman in the world and I am a New York Senator." She just took the second parachute and jumped out of the plane.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, said, "I'm President of the United States of America, I have a great responsibility being the leader of a superpower nation. And above all I'm the smartest President in American history, so America's people won't let me die." So he took the pack next to him and jumped out of the plane.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a 10 year-old school boy, "I am old and frail and I don't have many years left, as a Catholic I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute." The boy said, "It's OK. There's a parachute left for you. America's smartest President has taken my school bag."

a show i have been addicted to lately is called the manor house. it's about those living in the upstairs and downstairs quarters of a very grand 109 room house during the edwardian times...except that it is regular folks from today in roles of that time. these folks also had rules that they had to live by during the 3 month project, rules specific to their role, be it a scullery maid, or the owner of the house. rules such as, while the owner can actually do anything they want with with you, (sexual abuse, etc.,), you cannot mix with other employees, if you are one of the employees.
other rules include "Never let your voice be heard by the ladies and gentlemen of the house, except when necessary, and then as little as possible." and "Always "give room" if you meet one of your employers or betters on the stairs." which also means that you should make yourself invisible in essence when the 'betters" walk by...go to a corner and stand facing the wall so they won't be forced to see you. yikes. i love this show. if you are a history or a social studies fan, you would love it too.

a note i wrote to neza:
i am feeling ok physically, for the most part. just different. i keep putting my hand on my stomach though, then i remember that there is no baby there anymore...and feel silly...
i keep saying to robin, 'should we try having another baby now', knowing full well that we are not ready yet.
