One of my college friends wrote to me this morning. Firsts are always strange. Just last night I threw out the form to fill out to be in the Alumni Directory. How 'bout that?

Dr GB:
By the way: what's a five and dime store? Five what?
(Thu Mar 9, 2000 - 10:09:50 am)

Myk Murphy:
good morning! 5 cents and 10 cents: prices people used to pay for things. it's a small, quaint type of shop that sells various household items, candy for kids, etc. the predecessor to the modern convenience store, i think.

Myk Murphy:
i think it's cute that GB has never heard of a five and dime store. it's equally cute that a british hardware store is called a DIY store. i wonder if Home Depot has taken over the UK's DIY business like they did in the US.

Chewing Wax:
They must have Woolworths in England. Or used to have. I'm not sure we have them anymore.
(Thu Mar 9, 2000 - 11:19:16 am)

Myk Murphy:
yup, i bet they're all gone. the ol' five 'n dime is a relic of an earlier age.

Do you have Dollar Stores? they seem to have picked up where 15 cent stores left off. If you ever need rubber doilies, or tiny plastic ballerinas from Indonesia, thats the place to go..Our dollar appears to be worth 15 cents.
(Thu Mar 9, 2000 - 12:06:38 pm)

Myk Murphy:
on the contrary, i think it's all funny. now, if you'll excuse, i have to go do a teleconference with sleepy's favorite city, seattle. i'll ask about the pop-up tour guides. i've already harrassed boston today, so now it's time to annoy the west coast.

Eat hearty.
(Thu Mar 9, 2000 - 12:08:55 pm)

Myk Murphy:
yup, mooch, we love our dollar stores. some items are quite a deal, some aren't: it's like the game show "the price is right".... you have to guess whether something is worth the fixed price, or not!

Myk Murphy:
bye for now!

What a story I have to tell. And I HAVE to get it off my chest. A couple days ago, Ken received an email from his former mother-in-law, whom he hasn’t spoken to in like ten years. It was a pleasant message, in which she stated that she’d just gotten a computer and was surfing around, looking for familiar names. She remarked on the band’s webpage and said she was glad to see him pursuing his dreams. He was shocked as hell to get the message, but politely replied, asking about her and her husband, etc. Then he asked “How is Sue?” Sue is, of course, the X. Her mother replied again, stating that Sue was married, living in Ohio or somewhere, blah blah. Ken has not spoken to Sue in seven years. Then yesterday, Sue called our house. Ken was again polite, and let her ramble on SLOBBERINGLY drunk for an hour. She told him about her husband’s coke addiction, the number of times she’s OD’ed, and, worst of all, how she’d found Jesus. She kept telling him that he is going to hell. She said, “You’re raising your daughter to go to hell.” And other little gems that infuriated us both. But still he remained polite, knowing her well enough to know that getting an angry reaction out of him was what she wanted. She finally got frustrated and hung up. Four drunken, harrassing phone calls later, one in which she told our friend Carrie who is staying with us that she’s a stupid bitch and she should stop living off Sue’s “old man”, we decided to put a block on her and her mother’s number and take out a restraining order if she ever contacts us again. The whole thing was rattling, especially since Ken is so high above her and that whole lifestyle that they had together. His house is now filled with love and support, art and high-plane creativity. Her house is filled with addiction, violence and jesus. Fuck it. If nothing else, it makes me look a lot better by comparison. I said that to Ken and he said, ‘Honey, you looked better from day one!” I just needed to get that off my chest. Feel better now.
