Oh, “union”, right. Thank goodness the word “union” in American English doesn’t imply anything relating to “unity”. It couldn’t possibly, or else GW’s speech last night would have had to have been called the State of the Conglomeration of Much Divided and Confused Folks speech. That even has a nice ring to it.

Dad and I are going to run out of food soon (him way before me, because he’s a lazy bum that won’t cook) and Dad can’t do his own laundry either. But the fact that she doesn’t know when she’s getting…

Now that I have converted the CommentWorks to use CDOSYS and have tweaked my site stats app to disregard my IP address (which is pretty much static anyway, as I’m on a small network), I am ready to start my homework. *grin* If anyone is interested in the code for CommentWorks, visit the BlogWorks site (see the link on the right). If anyone is interested in the CDOSYS code that replaces the JMail code, visit http://www.marksite.tk/.
