It's cool that you're in such a good mood, Mema. I hope you and Chris have a great time together.
I'm really knotted up inside this morning. On the relief side, I'm glad that my suspicions and concerns about something were not out of line and I wasn't overreacting. On the stress side, my suspicions and concerns turned out to be true. I think I was hoping it would turn out to be the overreaction part.

I'm sorry.

At least your phone made it to the truck. I was almost all the way to work when I realized it wasn't in my pocket. Silly me. I know exactly what I did. I charged the phone last night. My hands were full when I walked past it and said, "Oh, I'll come back for that." And then I didn't. Duh. It's okay. Most likely no one will need to reach me that way today. If they do, they will just have to wait.

Yeah... I did remember to go retrieve my phone and the cable for my camera. Forgot to bring the software for the camera... which I thought was already loaded on my work computer too. Uh... no. Thought I could get it from the Polaroid website...

Hi all!! It's been warm and muggy here since Friday, but I'm not complaining since I've been waiting months for summer to arrive. I'll take this kind of weather any time instead of temps near zero and snow piled up all over the place.
Last night my dad stopped by on his way home from his cabin and told me a mama black bear and her two little cubs have taken up residence on his property. He'd been up to his place since Thursday and saw them every day. He said while it's nice to see them, he's a little concerned because of the potential danger. Today he's going to the sporting goods store to buy some "flash bang" shells for one of his shotguns.....I guess these shells just make a loud bang to scare a bear away without injuring it. I think I'd keep a rifle loaded with actual ammo just in case Mama bear gets ornery and ignores the flash-bangs.
Mema, so glad your son will be home for a few days. Enjoy!!!
Web, sorry something is causing you stress. Hope the situation gets better.

Mema, maybe Picasa (which is free) will work to upload your pictures to your computer.
Hello all. Late getting home, even later getting to bed. :(
MZ, your avatar makes me think I'm reading something from Sparky. It happens every day
I'm a little bummed today. I was in line for a job that would pay substantially more money at the school and would have definately given me enough to turn FFR back on (we're talking about a 40% pay raise), but I think it's falling through.

I want sleep.
Have a good day all.
He's talkin' 'bout money... I think Ben Franklin made the point that, eventually, pennies add up to dollars. What was wrong with "owners"?

Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting.
Money and lack of listeners were the issue. I've said before on the forum, if we were broadcasting to 25 - 50 people I'd foot the bill with a big old smile on my face. We were broadcasting to 6 or 7 people the last few months we were on the air.
So I've got a two pronged attack at returning. Either A, I get an iPhone APP built that brings in listeners to a number where running the station makes sense, or B, I start making better money so that I can afford a hobby like FFR regardless of audience size. There are plenty of opportunities at Marquette for advancement, so I'm keeping my eyes open.
Listener-owned worked GREAT the first two years, but by the end of the second year so many people had let their memberships lapse that it wasn't even covering 1/4th of the broadcast fees. I'm just not one to walk around with hat in hand asking people to re-up. I understand money is tight everywhere and $40 a year is a lot of money.
Besides that, if people aren't tuning in WHY should they donate? That would just be silly. There's SO many other options out there, I don't blame people one bit for finding something that they enjoy more and spending less time on FFR. It's just the way it is.
But trust me, I'm working hard on this APP as well as trying to improve my work situation, so hopefully we'll be back on air at some point in the near future.
I can't wait to see him. 
Still a good day for me. 
. I hope you are able to find peace with whatever has you stressed.
