So happy to hear of your return, Marianne! I like it: Marianne the Mobster, stirring up real-time chaos wherever she writes.

Welcome back… we missed you!

Miss M&M,
My wife’s beach store has a t-shirt that I need to send to you:

“Watch Out – I’m not as sweet as I used to be”

Marianne,

Glad to see you’re back!
My wife had a problem with our shared DSL network ages ago. The DSL modem would happily connect me to the internet but not her. I run a PC and she runs a Mac. The only way to get it to work after I connected and disconnected was to physically unplug the rotten little DSL modem, unplug the router, unplug my computer from the router, wait for a minute, plug back in the worthless DSL modem and wait until all the lights went green, plug back in the router and have her connect to the internet. Worked every time!
I remember explaining the process to her (she was very angry at the time) as I was walking from Terminal A to Terminal D at O’Hare airport. I was half a mile underground and my cell phone handled every furious word which I thought was remarkable and couldn’t help myself from remarking on it time and again as I waited for the modem to reconfigure.
It boiled down to a basic incompatibility between the PC network connection and Mac network connections. I never had any problem logging on after or while she was logged onto the network but it just buggered the Mac no end when it went the other way.
There was no cure for the DSL modem. We terminated that with extreme prejudice (well, she did) and went to a CABLE modem and after that all our problems went away. Welcome back to the information snooper highway.

Hi Peter … I just got a call from one of the Maggiesfarmers this afternoon — bless him. My verdommpt internet provider has not been providing Maggies for a month now, and I’ve made the Big Decision to stop networking with my husband’s computer and get my own modem and a direct connection to the internet, so I can access Maggies and Lex any time I want, like lightning. The linemen are coming to connect me to the cable box on Monday the 17th. And this better work, or I’m going to have to hire some muscle, grab my Gadsden flag and march on comcast headquarters. My husband says, when I get stirred up, I’m ‘terrible in my wrath,’ so they better watch out.

Running a health care system, determining who gets what care when and for how much, is not the domain of federal government. Does the term “Health Choices Commissioner” send chills down your spine? One who would be in charge of a new bureaucracy regulating basically all health insurance in America. The only medical choices I’m interested in are the ones I make in consultation with my doctor and family. Not a government commissioner who, with tight budgets, could be Dr. Death.

Hi Marianne,

Glad to see you’re back; the people over at Maggie’s Farm were concerned about you… me too.

I like your first sentence as a name: Rebellious Citizens of (today’s) America (under) Obama. RCA-O. Of course we could always fall back on AARP (Armed and Really Pissed), but that’s taken.

Having been in sales all of my life as well, I agree with Mike Myers: “They’re not selling, they’re TELLING.” Freedom is what it’s all about, isn’t it! It’s all about our Constitutional rights so how about “Constitutional Freedoms Coalition”?
