Thank you for the information. I was beginning to think my husband made it up to tease me! [/quote}

Hey Swiss,
Hope you are not off line long and don't miss any PR.
Good luck with your move and be safe.
I have visited the Chicago area many times for work and like it.

Not just public office, but everywhere. My entire career as a copyeditor has been built on making Ph.D.s look as if they know how to write! I've been told I'll never be unemployed!

Lets just say me in the kitchen go together like argyle and polka dots. I'm a horrible cook if my husband was here he would second that. We always eat out for the safety of both of us. I also have this phobia of being burned.

I am hoping that I won't be off for any length of time. But who knows. I am going to hook up the computer and tv's immediately and with the telephone come the internet access. So if all the utilities work with me and do their jobs and I find the router for the internet immediately I will not be off too long. I am going to just fall apart if I don't get my PR weekly fix. Would not be healthy for my mental state. Frustration would set in, I might even become comatose. Or I could just call motels and hotels and find out if they have Bravo and move into one of them for an hour or so.

Hee! Especially the president. Okay, I'll stop now. LOL
I am so tired of people making fun of Bush. Just because he is from the South people act like he is stupid. Sweeties, I bet most of us on this list didn't go to Harvard. He is a very charming, down home person that is faithful to his wife...unlike some of our other (I presume you think) great presidents.
Now back to public schools they are under funded but you are not giving enough credit to the great teachers that go above and beyond even with little pay and LESS RESPECT.
BTW.....wonder what Parsons pays?
Blessings
Just an fyi, Bush didn't go to Harvard either. I'm from the South so no assumptions that I think he's not one of our brighter presidents just because he's southern.
Back to PR and sorry for the political interlude.

We're doing a daily sketch comedy video podcast, and making this video was especially fun because I got to watch a whole lot of Runway.

I will carry this even further, by the time I finish everything that needs to go into a paper, I am tired. I have raced to finish all the testing by a certain date, crammed all the notes and information together into what is supposed to be an organized form and then I sit down to write two days before the publisher's deadline. I write and write and the more I reread the more I do not see. Finally I fax or mail overnight the paper hoping I do not look as stupid as I feel when it comes to composition. I then get the proofs back and have to reread it again. As far as I am concerned I wish someone could just tap my brain and organize it for me, so I could go on and do what I enjoy the most, being in the lab blowing up things, thinking of new ways to do things, thinking up new ideas. As far as I am concerned you will always have a job. From what I hear different parts of the brain do different things, that part of my brain is pea sized, while the scientific part is well developed or more active. I find the best of the scientific writers are the foreign born, the ones who have a different mother tongue than English. They learn the kings English and write well. Me I speak and write American most of the time, and only put on the apron of the professional writer when I have to. See "to" at the end of a sentence. Midwesterner at heart thru and thru. How would you do in a lab?

Actually, our UPS driver gets more time off than most teachers I know!! Seriously! He's worked for them for years and years and gets 12 weeks off a year --- without having to get a second job or enroll in any continuing education courses!!! (which I have teacher friends that do)

OK fashionista/o's, of the world I have a fall fashion question. Nina Garcia in ELLE has told me that cowboy boots are out...now what I want to know is are they? is it just cowboy boots? or is it all boots that have a western feel? I just want to know because I have some pretty expensive (for me) boots that I love and don't want to give up wearing but I don't want to look stupid like some of the people who haven't given up there chunky soled shoes (and when I say chunky I don't mean platform like all the mags have right now)...you all know what I mean...you've seen them...(not offense to anyone who loves their chunky soled shoes---that's pathetic that I felt like I had to write that:v))

Well, I suppose everyone has a supreme lack of judgement from time to time. From reading the boards, I think that most people are shocked and dismayed with Alison's departure. I was very disappointed. This is the first time I have ever posted to the boards, but I thought one more voice could provide the solution: Bring Alison Back For Project Runway 4. I think it would be a good solution, and a fair one.
Alison: Maybe the judges were having a bad day? The internet backlash should pep up any lowly spirits. I believe you are a great designer.

I, for one, love my cowboy boots. I don't care if they are "in" or "out." To me, they are timeless, comfortable, and funky, all at the same time. I plan on wearing them whenever the mood strikes me. (Just not with a mini-skirt--I'm way beyond those years!)
So my advice to you, humble though it may be, is wear 'em with pride. If you like them, if you paid a lot for them, if they suit your style, then go for it!

WHY did PR boot off Alison? She was one of the best designers on the show. In fact, I considered her one of the front runners to win. Every week she has a great design. Even the design that got her kicked off was not that bad. It was certainly better than anything Vincent has done. Why is he given another chance week after week? I suspect it's because he makes for more interesting TV than Alison, since he is a loon! If that's true, than shame on the producers. In any case, I am certain that Alison will do very well in the world of fashion. I love PR and have been a faithful viewer since the first season, but you almost lost me with this last show. Please, let the truly good designers prevail.

GREAT letter. Be sure to read some of the comments afterward. My favorite:
"Oh! I'm inspired: The Shoplifting Challenge! You have to design an outfit constructed entirely out of items you successfully lifted from Macy's. Including cosmetics -- no L'Oreal suite this week. Call the producers! Let's make this happen!"
Now THAT would be a challenge to see! ROFL!!!

Okay. This is random. I went to an open-air movie last night and they were showing Beach Blanket Bingo . It was terrible, but it made me realize something. Michael Kors reminds me of Paul Lynde, that 60's actor who was in just about everything.
I agree! However, Paul Lynde had much better one liners!
If you don't recognize the name, you would know him from Bewitched , I Dream of Jeannie , and the voice of Templeton the Rat in Charlotte's Web , Gidget , etc. Like I said, he's been in absolutely every popular tv show and movie from the 60's.
