12:47 am

jillibus

BTW, I don't seem to be able to delete what I wrote about my icon, or add anything to it!

12:47 am

jan

Off to bed, I will try to log on in the morning to get the last 61. But so far, this grid is much gentler than the last couple.

12:47 am

flosey

well done jan, sweet sleep

12:47 am

rururocks

what you wrote is a classic jilli.. maybe Dr g doesn't want it to change

12:48 am

sammysmom

ah my sweet daughter... she just called me before going to bed... she is exhausted... she worked at her church's food bank all day and she has a broken ankle .. in a cast and still did her thing

12:49 am

rururocks

that's going to be some swelling now

12:49 am

jillibus

smom, your daughter has my total admiration!

12:50 am

sammysmom

yep.. she said she laid on the floor with it elevated for 3 hours before she could function again

12:50 am

rururocks

she's one determined kid

12:51 am

sammysmom

mine too. she is 55 and had her grand daughter ( 5 months old ) to care for as her daughter was at work

12:52 am

sammysmom

jillibus

good grief, what a gal!

12:52 am

grannyrose

12:53 am

12:58 am

grannyrose

hey neil, jilli, flosey, smom, arb

12:59 am

sammysmom

as long as it didn t get wet rose, probably

12:59 am

jillibus

how does a wireless mouse get into a bag of groceries anyway? I couldundeerstand a real live mouse doing so, but...?

1:00 am

sammysmom

i do not question it.... have fould many strang and wonderful things in the oddest places

1:00 am

rbud

well, we were unloading a bunch of stuff from the truck after a major trip to the laundromat, and then straight to Goodwill with most of it... she was throwing it all in together, I guess

1:00 am

rbud

lucky it didn't go to Goodwill with the rest!

1:03 am

rbud

I'm too nice, I washed all the stuff before I took it, cost a small fortune - glad I don't have to go to the laundry very often. it was mostly stuff left by people who stored stuff in our back shed.

1:03 am

negativeneil

Hey grannyrose. See the email I sent you?

1:03 am

sammysmom

i wondered about a stick that i found under my pillow a few weeks ago.... until yesterday when sam ( 4 year old great grandson) asked me.... hey g'nan did you like the present i put under your pillow?? i allowed as how i did indeed like it and it in on my bookshelf in a placed of honor

1:04 am

grannyrose

not yet, neil. will look later,ok? or would you like to me look now? ...

1:04 am

negativeneil

I'm wondering if I'll find my ATM card in a wonderful or odd place... if I find it at all. Been searching all day. :( A friend of mine who is usually pretty psychic for some reason tole me where it is though: "in the last place you'll look". :P Great. So helpful!

1:04 am

negativeneil

"told", even

1:04 am

rururocks

that's really funny neil

1:05 am

negativeneil

Up to you, grannyrose.

1:05 am

negativeneil

But I think you'll really like it.

1:05 am

negativeneil

Hey ru!

1:05 am

negativeneil

Yep. She's a card... too bad she can't tell me where mine is though.

1:06 am

mari

lo

1:06 am

rururocks

what you should do is get your visa card in your hand and spin and spin and throw it.. and it will land on the Atm

1:06 am

rururocks

hi mari

1:06 am

negativeneil

Then I'll lose that too. :P Knowing my luck.

1:06 am

rururocks

or should I say ....

1:06 am

rururocks

HI

1:08 am

mari

hi all - Jilli compleated the jigsaw of the stag in your drive what a super picture

1:08 am

rururocks

why do I keep seeing lasagne in the grid

1:08 am

negativeneil

I have several jigsaw puzzles on that site too, mari.

1:09 am

rururocks

oh jilli?

1:09 am

mari

under the same name neil?

1:10 am

negativeneil

http://tinyurl.com/6pjwfkh

1:10 am

negativeneil

Yes.

1:10 am

negativeneil

It's the only online ID/moniker I use, for everything I do on the web.

1:16 am

rururocks

wonders if there's a positive Peter out there

1:17 am

jillibus

Thanks, mari -- it was a surprise to see the guy there, just relaxing!

1:19 am

jillibus

sorry -- I was changing some light bulbs

1:19 am

rururocks

Watt?

1:21 am

Trifioso

hello dear friends - can't sleep again, so might as well babble!

1:22 am

jillibus

maybe we can bore you to sleep, trif?

1:22 am

Trifioso

I very much doubt it! ruru just had me giggling like a doof

1:23 am

gapeach

Good morning, Trifioso.

1:23 am

Trifioso

morning ga!

1:23 am

torgone

Sleep is overrated ..

1:23 am

Trifioso

did torgone make this grid? ti4s everywhere you look...

1:23 am

Trifioso

oh, SNAP son!

1:24 am

torgone

Yowza!

1:24 am

Trifioso

lol

1:24 am

jillibus

Hi torg!

1:25 am

Trifioso

phantom: tarantula

1:26 am

jillibus

good one!

1:28 am

negativeneil

Positive Peter, ru? No. But there is an Affirmative ____, you know. Seriously. When I came up with this moniker a few years ago, he promptly thought of that one and he uses it for a few of his accounts.

1:28 am

Trifioso

gosh, the oldest car in the known world seems to be having negotiating the hill in town center, and I can hear it from here on this clear night....poor old thing!

1:28 am

negativeneil

Just because we're polar opposites.

1:29 am

Trifioso

andy? arthur? allen?

1:29 am

rururocks

you would have liked tonight's dinner jilli

1:30 am

negativeneil

Anything you like. :P

1:30 am

jillibus

what was it, ru (drooling in advance)

1:30 am

rururocks

the grid just got harder

1:31 am

rururocks

I made seared scallops with a saffron cream sauce.. forbidden rice and steamed snap peas

1:31 am

rururocks

mrs ru ate too much again

1:31 am

jillibus

oh yum! -- but what's forbidden rice?

1:31 am

rururocks

it's a small grained black asian rice.. nice texture

1:32 am

jillibus

must look for some!

1:32 am

rururocks

easy to cook with some peppercorns

1:32 am

Trifioso

that sounds delicious, ruru! and thanks for asking, jili, I didn't know what that was either

1:32 am

jillibus

mmmm

1:33 am

rururocks

the sauce took a while

1:33 am

flosey

sounds wonderful ru

1:33 am

jillibus

I made Jambalaya out of a box, but with chorizo sausage, chicken pices, and prawns.

1:34 am

rururocks

that sounds good too

1:34 am

jillibus

*pieces

1:35 am

rururocks

I love cajun food

1:35 am

jillibus

what went into the sauce you made besides saffron? Recipe, please!

1:36 am

rururocks

white wine, butter, half and half..teaspoon of lemon, saffron, salt, fish stock, and a touch of white pepper

1:37 am

jillibus

oh wow! Calori free, I see.

1:37 am

negativeneil

Oh man. You're making me hungry.

1:37 am

grandy

hello everyone... after that ruru I am about to lick my lap top to get a taste....

1:37 am

Trifioso

do you make your own fish stock, ruru?

1:37 am

rururocks

LOL.. yes lo cal...lol

1:37 am

jillibus

Calorie too

1:37 am

gapeach

Molly, are you here?

1:37 am

jillibus

hi grandy

1:37 am

rururocks

just a little sauce on each plate jilli.. not a lot

1:37 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, that's only if it's online jilli... in r/l there's probably a million calories in that. :P

1:38 am

grandy

calories... did you not know that once you stir... all the calories... go up in steam....

1:38 am

negativeneil

How come only Mrs. Ru eats too much, ruru? You never do I guess huh? lol

1:38 am

negativeneil

Haha, grandy.

1:39 am

Trifioso

would that that were true, grandy!

1:39 am

negativeneil

Yep. If only.

1:39 am

jillibus

So good to know, grandy -- and broken cookies don't count, either.

1:39 am

grandy

it is where the calories come from not the amount..

1:40 am

jillibus

(well over halfway, btw)

1:40 am

negativeneil

I thought calories are calories.

1:40 am

Trifioso

I firmly (or perhaps "firmly" is not the right word to use,..) that food you eat at church has no calories

1:40 am

rururocks

yeah jilli

1:40 am

negativeneil

I mean 1,000 calories is still 1,000 calories, whatever the source.

1:41 am

rururocks

is food at the church pastorized trif?

1:41 am

negativeneil

Oh man. That's bad, jilli. So bad.

1:41 am

Trifioso

that is technically true, Neil, but there are calories that do more than others. Some foods burn more calories to consume than others.....

1:41 am

negativeneil

Sorry, ruru!

1:41 am

jillibus

oh gawd

1:41 am

Trifioso

LOL ruru!

1:41 am

negativeneil

Ugh. Why did I think I saw jilli saying that?

1:41 am

negativeneil

That's such a ruruism if ever there was one.

1:41 am

grandy

I keep seeing words that are not there... silly grid...ruru that is funny...

1:41 am

negativeneil

Or is that ruism?

1:41 am

jillibus

too tru, neil!

1:42 am

Trifioso

and 1000 calories of a lean turkey sandwich on multi grain bread with tomatoes and dark lettuce will get you MUCH farther in life than 1000 calories of say, pork rinds

1:42 am

negativeneil

Haha. :P

1:42 am

negativeneil

Well yeah Trif... probably.

1:43 am

rururocks

I think I read somewhere that pork rinds are the worst possible thing you can consume

1:43 am

Trifioso

feh. anything in moderation, right?

1:43 am

jillibus

but gooood!

1:43 am

negativeneil

Especially since I don't eat pork. âœ¡

1:43 am

Trifioso

well, I mean...not arsenic....

1:44 am

grandy

really it is about healthy choices... and eat NOthing you can not pronounce in the ingredient list... and balance your blood sugar... I find it really helps.

1:44 am

negativeneil

Gee. That's too small to be seen!

1:44 am

negativeneil

Yep grandy. Those preservatives will not presrve you forever.

1:44 am

negativeneil

preserve, even.

1:44 am

negativeneil

I should give up on typing for tonight.

1:45 am

jillibus

It made the point, neil

1:45 am

rururocks

or pont

1:45 am

negativeneil

That could've been pint. I like that better.

1:46 am

negativeneil

Especially if we're talking beer.

1:46 am

rururocks

ugh

1:46 am

Trifioso

that is more true than perhaps you realize, neil....my neighbor is an undertaker, and we were chatting one day, and he was just back from a conference where they were presented with findings that show that we are now taking a MARKEDLY longer period to decompose after death, due to the fact that most of us, when we die, are so full of preservatives that we are ourselves preserved. ugh.

1:46 am

negativeneil

Whoa. Seriously?

1:47 am

rururocks

yeah.. ever seen Joan Rivers up close

1:47 am

Trifioso

yes, seriously. its the dirty little secret of his field at the moment

1:47 am

negativeneil

Gotta wonder what that shit's doing to your body.

1:47 am

negativeneil

Haha, ru!

1:47 am

negativeneil

I can't say that's someone well preserved though.

1:48 am

rururocks

maybe it's just people who are decoffinated

1:48 am

grandy

It really is all that oil of olay...

1:48 am

Trifioso

rim shot for rurur

1:48 am

negativeneil

*whacks ruru*

1:48 am

negativeneil

Haha! Who owes who a beer?

1:48 am

grandy

or maybe sunscreen.... LOL I could use some anti wrinkle cream by the barrel.

1:48 am

rururocks

:D

1:49 am

negativeneil

Oh nm... rim shot, yeah. Not a shot to the head... which he probably deserves a little more. ;)

1:49 am

negativeneil

With a pillow of course.

1:49 am

Trifioso

grandy, did you ever see the full monty? the film, I mean

Hi Neil. I'll write to you a little later...

might try that then

10:05 am

negativeneil

I'm sorry about that. I was having fits yesterday because I lost my ATM card and needed it... so even up until I went to sleep last night, I was still searching for it. And like my kind of smartassed "psychic" friend told me, sure enough, I found it in the last place I looked. :P

10:05 am

negativeneil

So I got sidetracked looking for that and guess I forgot to send that forward... but done now.

10:15 am

crosshair

niel,soon debit cards will be a thing of the past.just before i closed my last station,i was given a sneak peek of a prototype cred/debit/fleet card reader that uses your fingerprint only.you fill out some information with your bank,give both thumb prints,then do the same wish fuel station/s that are in the program.now you are ready.next time you need gas, you place your thumb on the sensor,fill up and drive away when done

ah, so safe from this one! good. they are saying (out here) that it's likely just to feel like a series of thunderstorms over several days... but I remember big rains when we lived in Puerto Rico and Virginia, so very glad to be well away from it!

12:52 pm

stidmama

NBT!

12:52 pm

Aloyisius

well, we were having an awful drought, so Fla. def needs rain!

12:52 pm

why is hubby going back? un-battening the hatches?

12:52 pm

stidmama

yes, florida, texas, everywhere in between it seems is too dry.

12:53 pm

Aloyisius

he has to maintain the grove.. during the rainy season, the grasses/weeds grow like crazy.. can't let it get out of hand.. vines would grow over the trees, etc..

12:54 pm

stidmama

oh, yes that makes sense -- do you have kudzu infestation?

12:54 pm

Aloyisius

no, thank goodness.. but lots of potato vines and other species

12:55 pm

stidmama

that's good -- kudzu is scary! I keep thinking we should be eating it, then it will stop growing...

12:55 pm

5:34 pm

jesdraggon

hi stid :) how're lucky and the budgiebirds?

5:40 pm

stidmama

they are doing okay, a little peeved because I am spending a lot of time today working inside on an online course (free) that I really want to get through. The last two online multi-day courses I signed up for I didn't actually stick with. The class is on designing courses that use technology, something that I am hoping to grasp before I have my own classroom. This is my chance to make the most of this sort of excellent professional development until the next school year.

5:41 pm

jesdraggon

lucky won't lay with you while you watch the internets?

5:41 pm

stidmama

he paces and whines

5:42 pm

jesdraggon

hmm. what a booger.

5:42 pm

stidmama

LOL and the birds screech at just the right moment to bust my concentration. *sigh*

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

stopped in to enjoy some babble chat between laundry loads

5:43 pm

stidmama

And Tom mowed down a rose that was only just now getting back to health after being defoliated by the deer over the winter. I dug it up and put it in a pot with rich dirt hoping it can regenerate one more time. *heavy sigh* it wasn't on purpose, but it makes me sad.

5:43 pm

stidmama

hy jilly

5:43 pm

stidmama

or hey jilly

5:44 pm

jesdraggon

they're just commenting on the show :)

5:44 pm

Jillyjill

hi stid and jes

5:44 pm

stidmama

LOL -- well there is a lot of built-in redundancy, to be sure, but I need the repetition to help me internalize the concepts and terminology.

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, I know all about that stid, my hubby once helped weed the garden and pulled up ALL my cilantro...thought it was a weed

5:46 pm

jesdraggon

sa8,45 clue?

5:46 pm

stidmama

ack. yep. And I am pretty sure the "ragged robin" plant that my mother in law gave me years ago was weeded out too, but that could have been me, forgetting where it had been placed.

5:46 pm

stidmama

there's an SA 8? oh dear...

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

assume you mean the one after the hunger word

5:47 pm

periwinkle

there are two sa8

5:47 pm

periwinkle

jes, the sa8 you want is something that is absorbent

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

sa8/45= noun for something that soaks in

5:47 pm

stidmama

thanks for the hunger word jilly and hey peri

5:47 pm

periwinkle

or something that absorbs

5:47 pm

periwinkle

hey stid

5:48 pm

stidmama

oooh, GREAT clue peri!

5:48 pm

periwinkle

stiddy I made an untuna spread with garbanzo beans. did I ever give you the recipe. it is really good

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

Hi again peri

5:48 pm

stidmama

I don't know if you did, peri, but I can check. hold on

5:48 pm

periwinkle

hi jily

5:49 pm

periwinkle

or jilly

5:49 pm

stidmama

yes, you did! I still have the recipe, and glad you mentioned it because I am getting nervous about all the tuna we eat! LOL

5:50 pm

periwinkle

oh good. it is easy to make and delish, imho

5:50 pm

stidmama

I have a lot of Coba beans to use tonight, not sure what I am going to make with them, but they should be a nice change of pace from pinto beans. I might spice them up and then make tamales tomorrow.

5:51 pm

jesdraggon

untuna?

5:51 pm

periwinkle

never heard of Coba beans

5:51 pm

Jillyjill

I am planning tamale pie made with antelope

5:51 pm

stidmama

basically use the garbanzos in place of a can of tuna fish. it's yummy!

5:51 pm

periwinkle

antelope meat?

5:51 pm

jesdraggon

thanks for the sa clue (belatedly- distracted by phone)

5:51 pm

stidmama

hm. that would be different, jilly -- home-grown? were they eating your roses?

5:51 pm

periwinkle

you have made it, stiddy?

5:52 pm

stidmama

yes, when you reminded me and I looked, I remembered when I made it. but it was a while ago, almost four years!

5:52 pm

robwhy

anglo is not a word?

5:52 pm

periwinkle

oh my, that long ago?

5:53 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, nope. Gift from a friend.

5:53 pm

Jillyjill

robwhy..I had that same sentiment

5:53 pm

stidmama

yep. can you imagine we have been online friends for so long and still haven't met? someday, I hope..

5:53 pm

stidmama

hey rob. it would be a proper noun

5:53 pm

periwinkle

I hope so too, stid

5:53 pm

robwhy

aha

5:54 pm

Jillyjill

with game meat it's good to use a strong sauce like mexican or italian...takes the gaminess down a bit...

5:54 pm

periwinkle

wish I could do some traveling like sue this summer but there is no one to look after my cat even tho there are several other people living here at the moment :(

5:54 pm

stidmama

I can't eat anything like that any more, but I had elk meat once about 25 years ago, is it like that?

5:54 pm

Jillyjill

Speaking of that, had better scoot and get dinner started...bbl...nice chatting *poof*

5:55 pm

6:10 pm

hi - was reading about un-tuna and found an alternative to the garbanzo beans, if you're interested - frozen and thawed tofu - different texture, maybe a little more like tuna

6:10 pm

stidmama

okay, sent it off, will come from me at gmail

6:10 pm

6:14 pm

6:14 pm

Uneaixoise

oh man, we could sure use some rain -- dry as a bone and 95 today

6:15 pm

welki

and here, there was snow to the west of us - it's in the high 40s, low 50s now

6:15 pm

welki

(hard frost last night)

6:16 pm

Uneaixoise

watered and watered and watered today -- plants AND to cool down the thirsty birds! LOL

6:16 pm

stidmama

maybe Beryl will bring you some rain soon, Une, i hear she's a big storm.

6:16 pm

Uneaixoise

welki, that's amazing

6:16 pm

stidmama

oh welki, that's not a lot of fun... but probably better a little warm than freezing. I planted (optimistically) our hubbard squash today. Hoping that 110 days from now we will be baking seeds and eating pies!

6:16 pm

welki

yep - and that's following what seems like weeks of rain. wish i could bottle up the surplus weather and send it down to you

6:18 pm

stidgmere

Hi. Just getting the fireplace to blaze again. Damp and cool today.

6:18 pm

welki

i don't know how the farmers up here cope with our insane weather - i am so appreciative of them, they really must love what they do because boyhowdy, it's hard, hard work

6:18 pm

Uneaixoise

stid, doesn't look like Beryl's gonna influence our weather . . . sigh

6:19 pm

Uneaixoise

BUT thanks to all the spring rains, my hydrangeas have been LUSH!

6:20 pm

hello Mother

6:21 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, stidgmere :-)

6:21 pm

stidgmere

Hi mama.

6:21 pm

stidmama

I like hydrangeas, one of these days I'll get a couple for the wooded area in the back. They'd do well there.

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

once they're established, they require no care at all except an occasional drink in dry weather

6:23 pm

Uneaixoise

I've had enough blooms this year to be able to share bouquets with a number of folks :-)

6:23 pm

stidmama

yes, it's the type of shrub I really try to plant -- low maintenance. I am trying to get the only beds that need attention to be the veggies and a few flower beds up by the front entry. Everything else I try to plan so it's a once-a-year touch up.

6:23 pm

stidmama

I have lovely snowball bush blooms this year.

6:24 pm

welki

i had some back east - miss them, forsythia, peonies, azaleas, pussy willows - sigh

6:24 pm

Uneaixoise

cool!!

6:24 pm

Uneaixoise

welki, my peonies were very happy this year too -- one of my favorites

6:24 pm

stidmama

I like forsythia, but Mother is allergic -- I have lilacs and roses in the yard, so am avoiding planting forsythia. (although down by the road a bush might work...)

6:25 pm

Uneaixoise

sounds beautiful, stiddy

6:26 pm

welki

ok - if i start now and swing south to pick une up, we can be there by - thursday, if we drive straight through, stid :)

6:26 pm

stidmama

it's nice, but somewhat wild after all those years unable to keep things up. By next year the yard will be functional again I think.

6:26 pm

stidmama

:-) I'll put the kettle on for tea, and we can visit Mother, too -- she has a "garden room" that is just delightful.

6:26 pm

Uneaixoise

6:29 pm

stidgmere

We sat in the pergola yesterday but today we're fireside. I made a red velvet cake which is supposed to be made with oil but I made it with butter. Everything is better with butter. I should have put bacon in it too for corssy.

6:29 pm

speedfreak

thanks you stid with your help got it!!

6:29 pm

stidmama

bacon would be gilding the lily, Mother

6:29 pm

I have a yellow and white iris blooming. It also needs no gilding.

6:30 pm

stidmama

oh, I am envious! my iris aren't even thinking about blooming yet

6:30 pm

Uneaixoise

my iris came and went a couple of months ago :-)

6:31 pm

stidgmere

Everyone's yard has its own timetable for blooms.

6:32 pm

stidgmere

We should have a Babble Iris tour. Sort of guess when you should arrive at any particular spot.

6:32 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

6:33 pm

stidmama

we could post our current blooms as profile pics...

6:33 pm

It will be fall before I figure it out again--how to change the portrait picture.

6:38 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, onyx :-)

6:38 pm

stidmama

they are crazy, don't hydrangeas usually pick one color, based on acidity of the land?

6:38 pm

stidmama

hey onyx

6:39 pm

thimbleberries . . . charming flower and charming name!

6:39 pm

Trifioso

7:20 pm

mcurlschool

Hi Min; doing well.....I think we went through this same exchange yesterday! LOL

7:21 pm

Jillyjill

Sure gave me a jolly moment...especially when the next thing I thought of was the old Star Trek episode where they time travel to the 1930's....

7:21 pm

mcurlschool

good episode

7:21 pm

Jillyjill

See you later cyber..

7:22 pm

Trifioso

7:23 pm

Minveryork

7:23 pm

I am hot and thirsty. Limeade sounds yummy.

7:48 pm

MollyL

No scurvy in Trif's house.

8:02 pm

stidmama

8:02 pm

Minveryork

Made a trip to the walk-in clinic because my allergies had me up until 4:30 a.m. Now I'm on all kinds of drugs

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

how odd this storm seems to have come out of the blue

8:02 pm

jmcnrick

oh poor min!

8:03 pm

stidmama

oh gee min -- that's taking it to an extreme!

8:04 pm

mcurlschool

STID!

8:04 pm

Jillyjill

Back from dinner....stuffed...warning, may doze off during conversation

8:04 pm

torgone

That's where most of them come from ..

8:04 pm

stidmama

MCURL!!! :-) I planted hubbard squash today (we prefer it to "pumpkin")

8:05 pm

stidmama

mmm. antelope-stuffed jilly.

8:05 pm

mcurlschool

Good for you! I skipped oly before carmon started on the birthday cake project again today!

8:05 pm

Jillyjill

mcurl...gaining quite the reputation eh?

8:06 pm

stidmama

good for you! where did you head out to? the beach?

8:06 pm

mcurlschool

home sweet home!

8:06 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, it was really good...not gamey...very lean..perfect for the tamale pie! And have enough left for a second meal!!

8:06 pm

stidmama

hmph. home. you sound fuddy-duddy like me! LOL

8:06 pm

mcurlschool

I don't mind helping with the projects but sometimes they get a bit intense

8:06 pm

stidmama

so glad it turned out well jilly

8:06 pm

Jillyjill

home is where you babble?

8:07 pm

mcurlschool

absolutely! Although I can babble on my nook away from home

8:07 pm

stidmama

anywhere I hang my grid is home... *singing off key*

8:07 pm

mcurlschool

didn't sound off key to me1

8:08 pm

Jillyjill

My home's in Montana, I wear a bandana, my spurs are silver; my pony is gray...

8:09 pm

Jillyjill

My luck never changes
With foot in the stirrup I'll gallop away
Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-yeh!
Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-oh!

8:09 pm

stidmama

wow jilly! that's some great lasso work there.

8:10 pm

Jillyjill

When valleys are dusty
My pony is trusty
He lopes through the blizzard
The snow in his ears
The cattle may scatter
But what does it matter
My rope is a halter for pig-headed steers

8:10 pm

stidmama

*quietly closes door to corral after jilly*

8:10 pm

Jillyjill

Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-yeh!
Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-oh!
I whistle a merry old song of the trail
My home's in Montana
I wear a bandana
My spurs are silver
My pony is gray
When riding the ranges
My luck never changes
With foot in the stirrup I'll gallop away

8:11 pm

Jillyjill

Okay, I'm done...just couldn't resist with the topic of home....

8:12 pm

rururocks

*checks jilly's temperature*

8:13 pm

stidmama

it's a fine song, jilly -- I can smell the beans and the campfire, and burnt boiled coffee

8:13 pm

stidmama

hey ruru

8:13 pm

rururocks

hmmm.. thought those spurs were for later jilly

8:13 pm

Jillyjill

I'll blame it on ra7/28 combo....

8:13 pm

rururocks

ROFL

8:14 pm

Jillyjill

Oh ruru...how ever did you know *wicked wink*

8:14 pm

rururocks

just a wild guess

8:14 pm

mcurlschool

8:14 pm

MollyL

Good Lord. Jilly has been into the Montana Moonshine.

8:14 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

8:36 pm

welki

jm? will you have 'off' from your studies during the summer?

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

yes. . . friday was my last day for that so now i will be focused on my organization and maybe making some money

8:37 pm

jmcnrick

although i do have 2 papers left 15 pages and 20 pages

8:37 pm

Jillyjill

What are you doing now jmc?

8:37 pm

welki

so almost done :)

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

see my profile jilly

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

i was suppose to have another class but it got canceled . . .

8:38 pm

wht

Hey, jmc. We finally got our solar panels turned on this week.

8:38 pm

jmcnrick

wd wht

8:38 pm

wht

Of course, until today, it has been mostly cloudy.

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

mine have decided to die

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

i have sent an email and who knows when they will get back to me. . .

8:39 pm

wht

I thought they were supposed to live forever, or at least 20 years. What happened?

8:40 pm

Jillyjill

Good for you jmc...our state constitution dealt with the corporation/politic issue nearly 100 years ago...

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

i have no clue. . .it may be the monitor rather than the panels. . .

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

we will see how that turns out . . . your state constitution is before the supremes shortly

8:41 pm

wht

Does your electric meter still run backwards?

8:41 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, *fingers crossed*

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

i haven't looked. . . it is outside

8:41 pm

gwenski

popping out. Thanks for the clues. Bye

8:41 pm

jmcnrick

bye gwen

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

i think it looks pretty good for montana but that doesn't solve the federal issue

8:42 pm

MollyL

Ah, yay. A little rain here too. Forced all the loud, drunk, barbecuing neighbors indoors. : D

8:42 pm

Jillyjill

Our oldest (History major) is home visiting and we have had many a conversation on it..

8:42 pm

Jillyjill

bye gwen...catch you later!

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

yay rain!

8:43 pm

Jillyjill

Sometimes rain has more benefits than moisture!

8:44 pm

wht

jmc, do you think there is a chance that the supremes will admit to having made a mistake?

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

well it is possible. . . that is why they took the montana case. . . but there is more to it than that

8:45 pm

rururocks

your neighbors are the Donner Party Molly?

8:45 pm

Jillyjill

I tell you, the history behind our MT aritcles should give them pause for cause....the War of the Copper Kings was a really black eye in the history of Montana..

8:46 pm

wht

jmc, I actually think that the real problem was not corporate personhood as much as equating political contributions to speech.

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

are there any books or articles about that jilly? I am interested in as much information as possible

8:48 pm

MollyL

Yes, Ru, the Donner party. Much louder though.

8:48 pm

Jillyjill

I think it's a snapshot of what's evil in our political system, heck, our nation in general...the WRONG people have all the influence

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

wht it is a collision of two problems. . . corporate personhood is a problem and campaign finance is a problem. . . this case is the crossroad.

8:48 pm

rururocks

yikes

8:48 pm

rururocks

I'd hate that

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

I agree jilly which is why i want to spend the rest of my career dealing with these issues. . . and then redistricting. . .

8:49 pm

welki

this is the best kind of learning

8:50 pm

Jillyjill

jmc: The War of The Copper Kings by Glassock

8:50 pm

welki

(The War of The Copper Kings, C.B. Glasscock and The Battle for Butte, Michael P. Malone - gosh, I love Google!)

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

ty both. . . i will read them

8:50 pm

Jillyjill

http://www.amazon.com/War-Copper-Kings
-Carl-Glasscock/dp/1931832218

8:51 pm

rururocks

what a last name on that writer

8:51 pm

welki

fragile even

8:51 pm

Jillyjill

MIchael Malone was the President of my alma mater

8:52 pm

welki

i should have paid better attention in school

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

why welki? its not like they tell you about this stuff in most schools

8:54 pm

welki

maybe not, but perhaps if a spark had been lit, i'd be better informed. it wasn't until college that i learned how to 'learn' history - the only way i could retain any of it was to associate art and music with a particular era

8:54 pm

Jillyjill

another interesting one is Collapse by Michael Diamond...on the societal implications in general

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

already had that one in my sights jilly but ty

8:55 pm

uusue2

good evening, all, we are in Elmira NY, on our way back home tomorrow!

8:55 pm

welki

so - the punchline is that i'm grateful that you folks open my eyes on a daily basis :)

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

hi uu

8:55 pm

welki

hi sue

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

True for all of us welki!

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

hahahahaha great punch line

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

hi uusue!

8:56 pm

uusue2

hi welki and jmc!

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

*innocent look*

8:56 pm

welki

*not so innocent look*

8:56 pm

uusue2

and Jilly!

8:56 pm

Jillyjill

:)

8:56 pm

wht

Jilly, Collapse is pretty scary when you realize that it applies to us, now.

8:57 pm

uusue2

I too am glad that my eyes open on a daily basis :-)

8:57 pm

Jillyjill

Sure does...

8:57 pm

welki

me too, sue - yep, when they open, i think, 'it's a good day'

8:57 pm

wht

Welki, so if you need music to learn history, start listening to the likes of Woody Guthrie.

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

yes three years ago i went to a baptist peace fellowship called "when the empire fails"

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

and pete seeger

8:58 pm

uusue2

glad I was not in Illinois today, high temp at home was 97F!

8:58 pm

welki

wht - exactly what i mean. if you listen to the lyrics of, for instance, Deportee, you really learn more than a song

8:59 pm

welki

pete seeger :)

8:59 pm

welki

<-- has a stack of Sing Out! magazines

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

so uu am i to understand i won't be able to see the transit of venus anyway? there is a baseball game that night and i am torn

9:00 pm

Jillyjill

Peter Paul and Mary too...

9:00 pm

welki

yep - and the weavers

9:00 pm

wht

That would be make a great history course. History from Sing Out Magazine.

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

ooo i would take that course!

9:01 pm

uusue2

you need a telescope with a solar filter, Jmc

9:01 pm

Jillyjill

Me too!

9:01 pm

uusue2

or there may be places that will live stream it (which is how I saw the eclipse)

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

so i should just go to that game

9:01 pm

welki

you can listen to alan lomax's archives online

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

no telescope or filter

9:02 pm

uusue2

I think so, jmc

<<-- would travel to take that course

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

maybe we could make it a babble meet up

9:04 pm

welki

so instead, i'll eat a piece of cake - g'night good people (and don't forget tom paxton)

9:04 pm

welki

(and phil ochs)

Babble Meet Up with Alan Lomax and Peet Seeger?

9:05 pm

jmcnrick

bye all i need to hit the hay

9:05 pm
