I do the daily Cryptoquote in the local paper, and today's quote does my heart good. Here it is, solved:
ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING DISORDERLY IS THAT ONE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING EXCITING DISCOVERIES. --A.A. MILNE
How great is that???
***************
Went to Leisure League luncheon yesterday and enjoyed the company of four friends, three of whom I see mostly at LL luncheons. The entertainment was The Musicats, a local group who do all the oldies but goodies. One song they did always gets me right where I live. It's A Wonderful World. I always associate Louis Armstrong with that song, even though I know others have recorded it. But it seems to me to be Louie's song.
Afterward went shopping at Wal-Mart for yarn. Have a "project" going, and still haven't settled on the colors I want to use. Still in the experimental project stage.
For some reason I was sleepy all day, and when I got home it was time for chat time with Sis. So no nap. However, my eyes were drooping at half-mast so we logged off a little early. I fell asleep in my oh-so-comfortable recliner, and woke up with a start 75 minutes later. It was time to go to class, and I was already late! It turned out OK, though; I actually wasn't late, as the reading and discussion hadn't yet started.
I have a reservation to see a local company present Raisin in the Sun on Sunday, 30 October. It was announced at the luncheon that discounted tickets were available for anyone interested. I saw the original with Sidney Poitier. Looking forward to seeing what a local company can do with it. Gee...that's a month away. Oh, well, I can wait.
Here's a card I'd like to have printed up and placed appropriately:
Stupidity (in your case) may be a handicap,
but it doesn't qualify you to park here.
Go find another spot.
I get so irritated at people who park in Handicap slots and don't show a placard, or who park over the line, thus effectively using two spaces. And I wonder sometimes at people who use the handicap placards. I know some handicaps (like asthma) don't show, but I saw a young man with a small child, looking very hale and hearty pull into a spot I was waiting for. He was walking very energetically while carrying a child probably 4 years old. Grrrrr!!! Probably using his grandmother's placard. And grandma wasn't in the car.
Yeah, I'm a grump, but I need that space. Also, I can't understand why so many handicap spaces are placed wa-a-a-a-y over there instead of as close to the doors as possible. Especially aggravating at the medical center where my doctor is.
Oh, crum. There I go complaining again. So I guess I'll close this off and maybe come back later in a better mood.

But even like this, I wouldn't dare use my grandma's sticker without her in the car...

Good Shabbos!

And I think your complaint is valid and good. Who knows? Maybe someone will actually hear it and mend his/her evil ways. Or at least Think about it.

I used to have a ticket that was really funny.. I can't find it now.. I will run across it one of these days.. It looks like a ticket but says . basically.. may you reap what you have sewed by parking here.. stupid..!!

Sorry I have been too busy for much correspondence of late

Love the Milne quote!
Wow, cool that you saw the original Raisin in the Sun with Poitier! I love going to shows, have not done in far too long.
What's your project? Secret? . . . just curious. :-)

How wonderful to see you are having such a full week! I am not sure about the Cryptoquote -- it doesn't seem like Words of Wisdom to me if it comes from a guy who created The Bear of Little Brain. Why couldn't he have made a Bear of Formidable Brain instead?
I love Oldies. I have been a fan of Oldies from childhood. Sinatra, Doris Day, Louis Armstrong, Neil Sedaka.... when I was a child, I used to record all my favorites from the Golden Oldies station onto audio cassettes. Satchmo Armstrong has always been one of my favorites.
I have the book, 'Raisin in the Sun'. I am a big fan of plays and collect all the plays I can. I do not foresee it ever being performed in Malaysia, though, because too few people would have context for it.
Have a great week, dear friend!
Love,

Maybe your city should look into doing the same.
After having done considerable driving with wheelchair using passengers in the last 15 years I never hesitate to call the police and report someone who has illegally parked in a handicapped space (or in the access lanes) anymore. I used to go out of my way to go inside a business and have them find the responsible person, but I have been verbally abused by the illegal parkers for saving them the $500 fine and the towing charges. Sometimes people are just JERKS!

P.S. I hope you get your computer up and running again very soon!
