On the other hand, in NY there were many Egyptian taxi drivers and I would guess they rank among nothing but the highest skilled drivers, K's experience notwithstanding.

It must be a real shock to them to come to NYC and actually have to stop at a red light. I do remember having 3 cars abreast in a 2 lane road and the intersections were like playing chicken. It was just NOTHING like I had ever seen before either.

We got to 224, 135 as of 8:39 AM EST 1/18/2019.

Really liked the 224 in the picture in The Villages Daily Sun on the front page of the 1/18/2019 Sports section about the VHS girl's basketball team and their loss 46-37. Would have been better if they had won against Umatilla. And not for NOTHING.

Talked to a female friend who is from Philadelphia about the "big mahoff" and she said that her father and his friends would use this expression a lot. She thought it came from the German community and not for NOTHING.

Would have been even better if you remembered your NOTHING

I had wanted to see the pyramids but now maybe not so much and not for NOTHING. I have a married female friend whom I met in 2006 who is a world traveler and she did not seem the least impressed with Egypt.

One of professors at the U of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management was from Egypt. Taught cataloging where you have to play very close attention to every little detail of a book or some other item you are cataloging.

It is fixed. My Egyptian U of Denver cataloging professor would be rather peeved at me for forgetting all these little details. NOTHING but an obsessive compulsive disorder.

Here is a catalog record of Gone with the Wind's Margaret Mitchell and photos of Memorials to her from the Library of Congress--
Gone with the wind (Margaret Mitchell)

One of my fellow U of Denver GSLIM grads works there the last I looked. She was taught by the Egyptian. NOTHING but cool.

The Philippines were bad but I don't think they were Egypt bad. They had NOTHING but one lane in each direction with a "Suicide" lane in the middle. If you wanted to pass you just hit your horn and hopped into the middle lane and played chicken with the people passing in the opposite direction.. lol

You're NOTHING but cutting it close. I was just going to ask if you had called in sick..

And what is today's mission?

You sound like NOTHING but the boss even when you're not in the office. Oh, that's right, you're the boss here too - lol

So today's mission - I'm reclaiming my office space. It's a long story but let's just say someone may end up not too happy when he gets home from work today.

I should add the "he" is not my husband. Someone else is dragging his feet moving out of here.........I won't mention any names or affiliations - lol
