carpet garden?
Message #1372
An "old ugly shag," eh? I'm glad to hear they had success with it. I can think of plenty of things I'd rather do than weed… Dianne who is now wondering what *color* would match her house's decor…>
What an interesting story, Dave. His CIS account number is in the beginning of the book, so I Emailed him a standing ovation as soon as I finished it. I imagine he hasn't changed much since he spoke to your group–he seems to be eternally tied to the counterculture, which…
Hi Annie! Playing with your new computer, I see…! Glad to see you here. Dianne
#Great Book!

I just finished a fantastic book and wanted to pass the info along. It's called The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stoll, and it's the true story about how a Berkeley astrophysicist stalked and found the Hannover Hacker who was breaking into military computers all over the world. It's hardback, but…
OK…Now I have a better idea of what you're doing, and yes, I'd agree that shots of the nls would drive the costs up and increase the workload as well. I like the idea of the graphic code for categories, and think you could find something to assign to even…
The piercing scream was enough to jolt me into action. I followed the harrowing cry outside and arrived just in time to see the firefighter jump into the back of the ambulance with a newsletter, still dripping blood-red ink. He picked up the mic and began describing the patient in…
Susan, What kind of directory do you have in mind? A small booklet? A book? If my assessment of travel agents is correct (after writing for them for 2-1/2 years now), whatever you design will have to be easy to SCAN, with mucho graphics instead of mucho words. TAs always…
Jim, I thought it was fascinating, and am extremely relieved to have my questions answered. Since you volunteered, I did think of a question I *wished* I had asked… Many of our clients are corporate, and as such, are used to buying all rights to articles and artwork they pay…
Maybe it'll have a "What do they know that I don't?" effect… Dianne
I suspect you're right, Mark, and intend to find out for certain at tonight's conference with the lawyers. Dianne
Welmoed– Have you considered moving your office into the house temporarily? My "office" has been in three separate places, in attempts to find an arrangement that would work with a toddler. I took a cue from a neighbor and finally put my office in one end of a large downstairs…
That's a *great* story, Judi–and I feel MUCH better knowing *other* people skids make some days ordeals, too! (misery loves company?) As for the local press–I think sending copies of magazine articles is a good idea. Probably much better than press releases, and anything's worth a shot. What angles have…
Through a haze of pain, I heard the wailing of sirens. A man in a uniform pushed through the crowd of chanting women, saying, "Let me through. I know CPR and I know DTP." As he leaned over to place the oxygen mask over my face, he whispered to me,…
#Famous DTPWoman!

Judith, All that's missing from the picture is a chain link fence to keep them out of your office! (that's a *joke*) For you lurkers, Judi was quoted extensively in an article on home offices in this month's Home Office Computing magazine, and was also pictured diligently working in her…
My husband pays the bills, so I bought him Quicken. Being the compulsive sort that he is, he absolutely *relishes* having all that information right at his fingertips! (Quicken is a simple financial planning/bill paying program). He also uses the computer to access his computer at work (he's a pilot…
Hello from BWA in London
Message #5839
Very interesting, Joyce. We had a very pleasant vacation in London this summer–stayed with some good friends in Northwood. Have you taken the tour up theclock tower yet? (arranged through the American embassy). It was one of the highlights of the trip! (except for Les Mis, of course!) Glad to…
Jeez, you just reminded me that we've left the motorcycles out of our on-line B novel! How remiss! Is the next author-to-be listening???? Dianne
hahahahaha…. That was very therapeutic! Dianne grinning and chanting "Are We Not Women…">
"Hey girl! You can build your own laserprinter in your one-woman shop." The click, click, clicking stopped. I ran to the mailing room, where I had last heard her steps. It was empty, but I heard soft, feminine voices drifting in from the entryway. Brushing the last fry off my…
