• 02:59 @LHopeD Len has always been 1 more thing you & i had in common but now i feel that much more keenly #
• 13:00 so last night i stopped on the walk home at my truck-driver neighbor Greg's house. a friend of his w/her 4 daughters is there visiting too #
• 13:03 with his wife there too, he says to me "what's this i hear about u not having any food at home?" #
• 13:09 i demurred. i have remarked to a neighbor or two about this week being tight financially but i dont think i put it in dire terms #
• 13:11 Greg & Terri think i'm being macho or proud or some! thing & offer me food from their house i'm always welcome to #
• 13:14 i tell them that all i have to spend at #FestivalOfTheBells is the $10 my mother tucked into my birthday card. #
• 13:16 @tsum if i have, i havent seen it yet. i havent yet checked my email today #
• 13:18 so suddenly Greg hands me a check for $50 as a birthday present! i'm not too proud to accept it but i say of course it's not really that bad #
• 13:26 @tsum no i have not rec'd it. i just emailed you my gmail addy #
• 13:! 36 we're the only country that gives foreign students ph.d.s and then won't give them visas to stay here, we send them home to compete w/us #
• 13:40 @LHopeD i've seen a book like that, called "'Scuze Me While I Kiss This Guy" #
• 13:44 so anyway Greg & I get into our usual debate about politics, but his def of "liberals" is weird. he says most libs are anti-abortion #
• 13:45 Greg says it's liberals who are telling him how to live his life. he says Obama told him truck-driving is unskilled & he makes too much $$$ #
• 13:47 Greg ended up calling me an intelligent idiot cuz i think US problems will be solved by compromise rather than armed revolt ! #
• 13:48 he says when i come to his house for sanctuary, all i have to do is admit i was wrong #
• 14:27 @DarlaV lol! #
• 14:28 @octoberthehotti the US will buy their hospitals the equipment! #
• 14:34 tonite's free concert at #FestivalOfTheBells is #EastonCorbin. his band is doing soundchecks now #
• 14:36 i walked to the bank but missed their lobby hours by 15min. my ATM card rejected my PIN, so i couldnt cash the check #
• 14:38 a booth at #FestivalOfTheBells is offering #deep-fried #peanutbutter & #jelly! i may have to try that #
• 14:53 #shutup #chexmix! who walks around a party eating from the bag & doesnt want to share? no party i've ever been to. #
• 14:54 idk why the atm rejected my PIN. that was the very 1st password i ever had to come up with #
• 14:57 @octoberthehotti mexico & china dont care if u go home & die from the op but the US kinda wants u to survive, no? #
• 16:53 i got laid off after 30yrs at the company. that's generated self-doubt. maybe they thot i was deadwood. maybe they thot i was coasting. #
• 16:54 maybe i wasnt doing the job very well any more & they took the opportunity to unload me :( #
• 16:59 @octoberthehotti "medical tourism" is for risky procedures the US hasnt decided is safe or effective yet #
• 17:00 @octoberthehotti my original statemt was about foreign students who get educated here but arent allowed to stay, not just medical #
• 17:01 @octoberthehotti engineers too. the rest of the world wants them badly, they go to work to compete against US companies--we need them here #

• 17:04 @DarlaV thanx for the encouraging words #
• 17:06 @DarlaV i once saw a sign that said "i work for money. you want loyalty, get a dog." lol #
• 17:09 @DarlaV just wondering why me and not others, that does eat at me at times #
• 17:14 @DarlaV hepatitis of the soul ← lol #
• 17:19 @DarlaV the funny thing is that i cant really answer that question even at my age! #
• 17:40 @DarlaV once someone told me a bulldozer operator makes 3x what i make. my 1st thot was i'd have to get that much to do that job #
• 17:41 @DarlaV then my 2nd thot was why dont i get that much to do a job i like and am good at? but that's what i want regardless of pay level #
• 17:42 @DarlaV yep lol, a trash collector i knew took a european vacay every year w/his whole family #
