[nagdu] hotels

[Julie J]

Lisa,

She said she wanted me to be comfortable.  She was trying to do the right 
thing, I hope, but in her efforts she got carried away and went way 
overboard.  I will call her next week when I'm back at work.  Arbor Day is a 
state holiday in Nebraska!  Yea for long weekends.

Julie

>> AARGH! just AARGH!

>> There's nothing to be done about it really.  I did try to explain to the

>> I hope the next few days are not one long saga like this.
