If you've been waiting on the edge of your seat...

to know what happened with Sprint, the wait is over! Sprint will credit our account for the correct amount of the alleged rebate. Sprint remains on our list of folks we like to do business with, but we reccomend being the first person in the LIttle Rock store when it opens at 9am. I guess most people are their most fresh first thing in the morning.

In the sad news, poor Silas is ill. First he got an ear infection. Then he had digestive problems. Now we add to that Croup. All you naturalists would be appalled at the number of prescription meds he's taking. All you medical enthusiasts who care about geeky stuff like that, email me and I'll tell you the list.

Oh, let's end on a happy note. Mom, Dad and I worked at Nana's long and hard (well, they worked long and hard, I was just there, mostly. You know- for morale. Nothing like a sick baby to boost morale.) and the house is nearly empty. Goodwill got 3 huge loads of stuff and Arkansas Hospice will be getting some nice furniture soon.

But the lucky winner of the most stuff is the City of Little Rock Solid Waste Division. Stay tuned for a summary of the trash and treasures.

I recommend epistolary venting to uncooperative companies and congressmen. I wrote my first letters to our representatives and senators back during that business between Israel and Lebanon, and last week dispatched my first really nasty letter--to a dentist's office that I thought had bungled my insurance claim, and was charging me $180 on top of the $85 I had been told was a co-pay.

In neither case did things wind up going the way I would have liked them to, but my, didn't I feel better for having said my piece!

Sorry baby Silas is ailing!
Dr. Brandy says, "Joel's the pediatrician." Mr. Ben, perhaps more helpfully, recommends a liberal libation of Thanksgiving gravy.

Mega-dittos to Alice for having been the 'moral supporter' at what must have been a sad and difficult task. I do hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful.

you'll be happy to know, dr. utter, that silas received my first called in prescription (usually, the nice nurses in the clinic take care of that for me). he got some tasty pink amoxicillin. and now his ear is all better.

do you know who else i wouldn't do business with if i were you, dear readers? Whoever it is that is currently the boss of my consolidated student loans. i can apparently only talk with a real human being wednesday through friday.
