I can't believe people are giving me shit for saying that if I had the freedom to choose, I wouldn't work with Orson Scott Card either. Am I a meanie? Hypersensitive? Too quick to judge?

And yes, I will fucking bring up Nazis. If you say there's no one you would ever not work with, it takes me two seconds to find someone to make a liar of you. You need to say what you actually mean and then we can move on from there.

There are tons of people I wouldn't work with, and I don't even need to swing by Germany for it. Stalin, Pol Pot, Leopold II of Belgium, and Michelle Bachman come to mind.

Hell I don't even recommend people buy his old, good, books any more. (Yes, read Ender's Game, but find it in a used bookstore or a library. Don't be giving that asshole any more money.)

People are ridiculous, obviously.

Random question--did anyone ever own a Nokia 8110 (the Matrix phone)?

that was one Nokia phone I did not own. why?

I am trying to find a user manual for it.

I just had a good conversation with my dad (nice surprise). Found out that he just got hearing aids (I had no idea he was having hearing issues). Anyway, he said his are completely high tech and he was talking to me through the bluetooth in the hearing aids and his phone was on the table across the room. Totally fancy.

Lee,

Nokia phones have similar features. if you can track down a manual for a similar phone, that should work out ok.

I am very glad Raq and Mal aren't there anymore. I hope it doesnt' get too crazy for her DH.

That was all I could think of when I heard the news today!
