  1. rf, i was calling her old number. just got off the phone. ha she was like i was going to call you at 3pm today, i totally beat her too it! she said she had a cold in her kidney since new years but that she’s on antibiotics. why do old people call everything a cold of something?

  2. Re Challenger, I met a nice man who lived in DC and came to NY periodically and we went out a few times. He worked in an administrative capacity in the Air Force. When I asked him about the Challenger experience (he had worked on this), it was 3 or 4 years after it happened, he burst out crying. In a restaurant.

    It was very disconcerting. But I guess he was traumatized by it and never got over it. It freaked me out though.
    Men who cry that way kind of unnerve me. But I remember going home questioning my own views of male crying and also thinking this must have been really terrible for him.

  3. RF;

    You are right. An individual case with various ethical considerations versus a deliberate whitewash of an organization’s history in promoting government-enforced eugenics.

    Compelling logic.

    Next.

  4. Donatella, once a week I go to Fairway and then stop at Pathmark in Gowanus on the way back. Both with big parking lots. Sometimes I take a look at Key Food on Fifth Ave. (another parking lot) on the way home. I make lists!

    Of course I have to use the back of the van as a pantry!

  5. Benson, I mentioned it because you mentioned Planned Parenthood (pre-WWII? That’s 60 years ago) vs the church on eugenics. This is NOW. It’s a pretty factual issue, no twisting words there.

  6. ugh. i havent talked to my grandmother since new years and im crap it’s been like almost a month and i just tried calling (twice) and i keep getting a message that says, you have a reached a number that is no longer in service.
