Sorry to hear you're housebound, Manda. Bummer of a time to get the chickenpox. How on earth did you avoid them when you were a kid? Anyway, we're pretty slow today, so all the Basement Rats say they hope you're feeling better soon. Even Mulder. (Of course, he said that after we reminded him who you were. . . "Oh. THAT Fischer." :: rolling my eyes :: Typical Mulder.)
Get well soon. . .

Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather, Manda. Reese told me you're itching like crazy. Have you tried an oatmeal bath? It's a Mom's old remedy.

Tried the oatmeal bath. . . my mother suggested that, too, and I put in enough to make a giant-sized breakfast! It worked. . . for a little bit. Just wanted to let you know that the files you wanted are under "Y" for Fountain of Youth, not under D for "DeLeon." Have fun in Florida! :)

The answering machine DJ routine was a laugh and a half, West, really. . . the first time. I'd almost forgotten that stupid song.
But I swear I'm going to turn off my answering machine if you keep doing that!!!! Five days in a row is a tad bit excessive, don't you think????
BTW - you might want to get it on CD, if you like it so much. . . your record's sounding kinda scratchy. . . ;-)

DON'T even tell them that much!!! PLEASE!!! You don't understand. . . I've had to put up with that for YEARS! And considering that my parents' next favorite musician is Neil Diamond, it made for one hell of a childhood. . . I know ALL the words to "Copacabana," "I Write the Songs," "Longfellow Serandade," and "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show. . ." I can recite them in my SLEEP!
Have mercy on a poor, sick fellow agent. . . Protect me, Drami!!!!

RE: All Wet. . . NOT!

That was most unkind, Manda. . . throwing buckets of water is a proper response to caterwauling alleycats, not to your friendly neighborhood serenade. . . we were just trying to cheer you up. ;-) Of course, I don't think I'll ever forgive myself for not bringing a camera. The look on Tex's face was PRICELESS. And as for you, young lady. . .

Thanks so much for the recipes, Manda. That three-bean Polish sausage dish sounds scrumptious. . . and that pound cake!! How DID you know Drami and I have been angling for that one since you brought a sample in??? Life is fairly normal here. . . as normal as it ever gets, anyway. We all heard about the boys. . . you've got the patience of a saint. Abbe told them that she would have thrown something a bit more solid. . . . ;-D See you 'round!

If you fellows hadn't been so off-key, I'd have let you in for hot cocoa. Better luck next time. . . if there HAS to be a next time. . . ::sigh:: But be prepared. . . I've got a fridge full of water balloons, and I'm not afraid to use them! You HAVE been warned. . . :-)

Okay. . . I dug around, and here's the paper my friend did on the real-life basis for Leroux's "Phantom of the Opera." I can get you an annotated bibliography if you want it. Let me know!

If there had been a moon, it would have been easier to get a picture. The rain slickers and umbrellas were a nice touch. . . ROFL!!!
Sorry about Mrs. McCarthy, though. . . hope O'Leary wasn't TOO miffed having to come bail you out, or mad at me for waking him. I think it's a sign that the illness has progressed to my brain: I'm MISSING you people!!! :(
Yes, even the boys. . . ::sigh::

Florida is a nice change from D.C., though I'm sure you'll be hearing about the particulars LONG before we get back. Just wanted you to know that the bio notes were helpful, thanks. My partner won't let me have a moment's peace while I'm on my computer. . . so. . .

Manda, the cookies were delicious - and the cupcakes - and just because I told you about the pound cake didn't mean you had to BAKE one!! Girl, you are *sick* - you belong in bed, not on your feet in an overheated kitchen!
Now, get yourself off the computer and under those covers or. . . or. . . or we'll send West and the boys to be sure that you do!!! (Abbe's right here, and says if I don't, she will - and that's a promise, not a threat!)

RE: Group Thank-You

Thanks for the flowers, folks - cyber and otherwise! Loki ate the daisies, but the others are still with me, and the card and care package were PERFECT. . . a touch of newness to these same four walls. I don't know what's worse - the fever and chills, the itching, the loneliness, or the boredom.
A few personal thank-you's- Tex, thanks for the crossword puzzles; Jon, if you get me hooked on this MYST game, I'm going to have to hurt you. . . but thanks for the books - I've been wanting to read "Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier" for ages, and "The Metaphysics of Virtual Reality" sounds like a great "tub book"! Drami, the chocolate and the cupcakes were VERY much appreciated! West - I do appreciate the offer, but no, I'm not ready to commit hari-kari yet. . . ;)
Abbe, thanks for the videos, and my furry boys say hello to Ripley and thanks for the catnip (spaced-out felines. . . they're better than television); Kennedy, O'Leary - you two are dolls for doing my grocery shopping for me. Thanks SO much. . . I'm going to owe you BIG TIME when I get back, and don't I know it!!!

PS- I wish I'd been more "with it" when you all dropped by. . . sorry for dozing off. . . and (silly question) you all HAVE had chickenpox already, right?

See you soon! - AB
