Reminder:  I did not name the files that are under discussion here.
Anne and Rita did.  But what's a Unix file name?  If I've given other
files "Unix file names," I wasn't aware of it.  I give files names that
seem to do a reasonable job of indicating what's in them.  I've never
really thought much about whether they are "Unix file names" since I'm
not sure what that means.

My friend Joy gave birth a few months ago to a beautiful daughter.
Joy is 20, and was engaged to be married to the father of the baby
until she found out he was cheating on her.  She dumped him faster
than a hot potato. (And for all you technoids out there, she used
Drew's phone system to conference call her fiance and his very
significant other together to confront them both about it.)  Anyway,
I don't know what the point is.  Joy is raising her daughter herself,
plans to complete her senior year at Drew normally, and I believe she
then wants to go on to law school.  Luckily, she has a very big
support net of family to help her take care of her daughter.

What's the point?  I have no idea.  Some young women *can* raise
their children, and don't need to resort to either abortion or
adoption.  Joy is one of _the_ most strong-willed persons I know.
She will raise <Arlene Mercedes Jennifer> well.

I set up DV a little over two years ago (when I first got my 386), it
behaved beautifully, and I left it alone.  In other words, no -- I haven't
changed any parameters in two years.  It worked great with whatever version
of PCPLUS I was using then and with my 2400-baud modem, it continued to
work great with upgrade of PCPLUS later, and then it continued to work
great with VDM at 19,200 baud -- until the past couple of weeks.

Now I remember why I didn't know the author: I didn't read the
story, it was read to my (I think) fifth grade class by our
teacher, who would read to us every afternoon for about 20
minutes. I can't now remember any of the other stories she
read to us.

My parents read to me a lot, when I was very small, but stopped
when I learned to read. Being read to slows the story down a
lot. That may be what is good about it, after all.

Ha! -- very observant, Rita L.  :-)  But the reason I was asking
about the turkey, which has reposed in our freezer since last
November, is that I was realizing that I'll probably never get
around to cooking in these next few months and I wanted to
know if it was safe to donate it to a local soup kitchen,
figuring they could get some good mileage out of it.  (not to
mention some good soup)

I'd hoped to roast the turkey (one of those bargain ones
you get with a supermarket coupon around Thanksgiving) last
winter, but in my first trimester I developed the most
godawful food aversions & nausea, and couldn't bear the
idea of smelling a roasting turkey all day, not to mention
having to eat it (or watching my family do so).  It's really
only in the last few months I've felt able to think about
that rich roasting smell again without gagging, and now it
ain't exactly the time of year for keeping the oven going
for 7 or so hours...
      (Hmmmm.... maybe a Words-L turkey roast?)  ;-)

eligible at age 18 should a draft be reinstated, and should we

a foreign involvement as a way to bolster his own popularity or

It doesn't take an economist's knowledge of mathematics to realize
that even though the Iraqi army may not have been dominated by 14
year olds, the number of 14 year olds buried alive in their trenches,
incinerated, concussed, shot, and blown to bits in various other ways,
is not insignificant.  The army does seem to have been dominated by
17 and 18 year olds, many of whom look 14 or so.  How many really
were 14 we'll never know.  But using various estimates of 100,000
to 200,000 soldiers killed (say, about the entire population of
Providence, RI) it seems reasonable to assume that 10,000 to 20,000
14 year olds were among them.

Funny thing...when I was of the appropriate age to be courted by the Girl
Scouts, they took me to a little covered-dish supper held in the basement of the
Methodist Church here, and they made all of us *wait* until the last girl had
been served to begin eating, and then not until after the leader had prayed over
us. I went home and told my mother that I couldn't belong to such a silly group.

Carol,
  That might have been an unused item; then Goodwill usually charges a
price somewhere between retail and wholesale for it.
  As for the clerks being supercilious, some stores, not just Goodwill,
tend to have clerks like that, whereas other stores in the same chain
are very nice and helpful (such as my Mom).
