Penni,

What timing! Look what I managed to snag last night: www3.techstocks.com

I did it in exactly the ladylike manner you would have expected of me. No unseemly pushiness or gloating.

Of course, I must admit that most Intel thread regulars don't care about the "finer" things in life, like 00 numbers, and no one saw fit to throw me a party.

Diane

Dear Ms Penni; Belated report about Valentines day, this was not a
big one this year.
I swipe a Hallmark ditty, but made a card on my computer wif my
new color printer and have not told her yet that i swiped the verse.
I'm beginning to feel a little guilty about taht, not about swiping it, but about not telling her i did.
I had spotted a card with Bears on it and copied it down as we sort of
refer to ourselves as being happier than the average Bears,
It went..

To my better Half ,
Half of us is nicer than the other half , it's true.
And half of us is sweeter, and that half, of course , is you..
But though you are the better half, As everyone can see,
There isn't any doubt at all..the lucky half is me !

I got up early and served her breakfast in bed and humbly
gave her my home made card.
She was real sweet and acted so thrilled, that ( censored ) :-)
------------------
Latter She was wanting to loaf around that day so we didn't go
any where.
She gave me of all things a set of car seat covers, now how she
knew I wanted a set I don't know because I never mentioned them.
Then latter still I slipped out to her most favorite eating place called Ryans, and brought home a take out meal.
--------------------
She likes thin mints ( so do I ) so I bought several packs and
put them in the frig. and as we watched our nightly TV show
I fed her some mints.
---------------------------
Now there is still one mint left sitting in the frig, right where
she can see it every time she opens the door ( she resists
eating the last one and won't buy herself any )..any way I'm keeping
my eye on it , and still waiting for her to have a moment of weakness,
and eat it. As I have a hidden stash and I'm just dyeing to
replace that single mint to see what will transpire , taht is if she will ever eat it before I eat up all the stash...
---------------
She gave me a card too, a sort of generic one but her hand written
note inside almost made me cry so I ain't going to talk about
taht.
I'm sorry the report is late, I just had some silly things to
do and kept putting it off. I use to be the best procrastinator in
the whole wide world, it was such a habit taht I just
sometimes slip right back into it. I hope you can find room
in your heart to forgive me, and I'll try to do
better in the future.
Jim
