Thanks, to everyone who offered their sympathies. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Salem \* > \*\*So where’s there a Bugaboo Creek? I’ve never heard of the place! I’ve been to the Rainforest Cafe at the Burlington Mall though which sounds like the same thing, only jungle style. The kids love it, but it can get on your nerves after awhile. Excuse me, Mr. Elephant, can ya shut up while I’m oredering my coffee please? \*\* Yeah, that’s kind of the same experience. We went to the one in Natick, which is, as **Robot Arm** said, across the street from Tennessee’s BBQ (which _is_ great BBQ, but Sherri was wearing a white shirt), and behind the Walmart (which used to be a Caldor). The movie theater was the AMC 15, which is in what used to be a swamp, between the Natick Mall and Shopper’s World. The old Sack Cinema is now a Lowe’s, I believe. Welcome back, **Lorene**! And, congrats on the job, **Robot Arm**! > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Maureen \* > \*\*…the four thirteenish girls sitting behind my friend and I, as well as the woman sitting next to us who (obviously) believed that she is a living billboard for her perfume, as well as her cell phone company. I hate people. When did everyone at the theater start believing no one else exists but them??? \*\* This is why I rarely go to the theater, any more. Luckily, it was almost deserted, when we went, and the people who _were_ there weren’t obnoxious. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Salem \* > \*\*I wore boots with 4" heels for hours upon hours today. Someone even suggested I keep them on. Just the boots. His name, however, wasn’t Antonio. \*\* Hmmm…sounds like _someone’s_ love life is heating up. Those tongue exercises must be paying off. And I, for one, would like to hear those stories about the pond by Wellesley College. Wouldn’t you guys? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dctaz \* > \*\*Can I come too??? Always wanted to go to Italy(still do), but the ex didn’t want to go there. always said it was smelly and rude. My step Grandpa was 100% off the boat Italian, so even though I don’t have realy Italian blood, I felt like it growing up. and I am named after him 😉 \*\* OBVIOUSLY she never went there…what a fucking goombah she was…glad you dumped HER! Mrs. dctaz is much better suited for you! It is neither smelly nor rude. (Of course how many US cities could you describe the same way…hmmmm). (IMHO) Italians are some of most friendly people in all of Europe. ---

Ah, **Maureen** that reminds me of the one time I was in the cinema with a good friend of mine (actually it was the Canadian woman I mentioned several pages ago). Some guys were talking loudly in the back and I guess I should have said something, but instead I tried my best to sink into my chair. That´s when my friend jumped up, turned around and shouted “Would you guys shut the f\*\*\* up!?!” (of course not censored out). That was one of the coolest things ever, it´s a pity I was such a coward back then ☹ Still, a good memory nonetheless. **Dave** , sorry to hear about Sherri´s grandfather. The Canadian doctor answered in the meantime, apparently he never received my first e-mail, so I am going to resend the CV this week. It looks more definite now, but until next april a lot of things can go wrong, so I won´t start being all hyped up until I am actually there. ---

Hi all… I skimmed but there is a lot to read and I’m quite stoned right now. Percocet make me very loopy. I came home today. Baby will be home soon we hope. He’s doing really well but is a little jaundiced and doesn’t have the stamina to take a full feeding yet. I miss him already. I’m off to pump so I will be mooing quietly in the other room. Have fun. Glad to see dave’s back! I did email him but in the 400+ spams I accumulated since I’ve been away any reply may have been lost. ---
