Had a whole post written and with a slip of the mouse, lost it!
My mission at the moment is to sort all my baseball cards, including a 790 boxed set of cards. I did the work in sorting the box set by teams yesterday. But from the work I spent today and last night, I only have Anaheim through Colorado completely sorted. Not going to devote my whole life to sorting the cards.
Why don't people check my profile before messaging me on Yahoo? One of the most common questions I get on it, the dreaded A/S/L, can be answered if people checked my profile first. It's even on my page, if they took the time to look for it.
I thought I would try Monday Memories, even if it's late. Today's question is Do you have a particular memory of going on a plane? If you've never been on one, do you have any memories about wanting to, or even not wanting to?
Well, I took my only round plane trip in 1999. I was leaving from Atlanta directly to New York for a weekend of Richard Marx concerts. It was the same weekend JFK, Jr. happened to crash. I was scared the whole time about going. I had a window seat the way up to Ney York City. My mother gave me some Catholic medalions to hold if I felt scared. I clutched those things most of the first plane trip. However, I will say the view from the plane was breath taking. I saw a lot of water that I could only guess was the Chesapeake Bay.
I can remember clearly the night of the JFK crash. The sky above me was filled with dense clouds that to us on the ground would be called fog. But it was clear as a bell on the ground.
The next day on the vacation is when I found out about the crash, but it was after I saw a piece of wood floating in Long Island Sound while on a ferry. All I could think of, I hate to say it, but better them going down than me. I was really upset he died and such, but it was a relief to me and my mother.
The third day of the trip was devoted to coming back to Atlanta and then going back home to Savannah. One of the ladies I took the trip with sat next to me on the way home and I was relaxed a bit more. Besides, the JFK crash did calm me, somewhat. Yet, it was creepy to be in LaGuardia with every TV tuned to CNN about the crash, full well knowing you'd be getting on a plane soon.
But I am thankful that on both days I traveled, the sky was sunny and clear. I would have had to be restrained if it was raining since I was already nervous as it.
Okay, got that out of the way. May actually try it on Monday next time!
I'm excited about going to college. It will give me something else to do besides work. Speaking of work, we went to lunch at Chili's yesterday. That was fun.
Okay, I need to do a few other things today.

I totally understand how you feel aboutt he Yahoo! Profile thing, sis. Last night, I was online late because I was bored, and some guy messages me saying he was just looking for someone to talk to. When I casually brought up I was waiting for my husband to go to work, he apologized for wasting my time! If he would have read my profile he'd know I was married and had a kid on the way! D'oh! And on top of that, I read his profile and it said "Single- Not Looking." If you're not looking, then why are you harassing women at 2 in the morning? *sigh*
Organizing the cards, eh? I'm not a big collector... all of the cards I do have are in protective sleeves in a box somewhere. I live my life disorganized 
Good luck with the cards though.
Now and Forever,

You are so patient to allow people to IM you! I gave that up, mostly (I use AOL IM (not the service, just the IM) and pretty much dole out the username to very few people.) I got so frustrated with all the hormonally challenged men who wanted to "whip it out" at three a.m. because they had nothing better to do. It's interesting because if I had met these men in real life, they would have never said half the things they said to me.
But, no, Shawn, even if they look at your profile, they wouldn't actually read it. See, that would take EFFORT. Plus it would kill that whole predatory thing that men would rather do on the 'net.
Heh- I guess I have a bad opinion of this! It was worse when I had ICQ. People used to try to send me links of them in compromising positions with animals!!!! And, of course, all of the men from other countries think that American women are easy because of our television programming. It's all just too frustrating!
But enough of my blathering!
Posted by: Eve at April 28, 2002 3:21 AMI was on late last night and didn't turn on my messengers. I hate having to hide from my friends because some days I can't handle strangers.
When my computer crashed in December, I didn't re-install ICQ. I can't stand to get on it anymore. I used to get messaged all the time from guys from Pakistan and India all the time. I used to think, why couldn't I get a nice American boy to message me?You know, for two countries that war all the time, they sure are the same when it comes to sex drives!
And everyone - blathering is welcomed. Blather all you want!
