My Mom has the recipe for the most amazing Poppy Seed Cake.
I may have it.
*drool*
This is a song about Alice.
That's Arlo Guthrie's line, after spending twenty minutes describing the aftermath of a Thanksgiving Day dinner.
This is a poem about Sarah (Palin).
"The rest of us identify with testing wings, and then to fly,
Out to a wider world we see where challenges are meant to be,
Welcomed with the open arms and smiles we see among her charms."
I'm not sure I could diagram that sentence. Anybody want to try?
This is wonderful, NnB. Thank you for pinging me.
Oh how I wish he were our President today.
How silly.
Like they are all on opium.
Life must go on, Amy. I forget just why. (As if to coin a phrase).
“The rest of us identify with testing wings, and then to fly,
Out to a wider world we see where challenges are meant to be,
Welcomed with the open arms and smiles we see among her charms.”
Sorry Bob. :-(
You’d be surprised how many people are on drugs in this town. At any given time, about 75% of the people driving vehicles are under the influence of some kind of drug. That’s 24 hours a day.
People get off work at 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning and the first thing they do is go have a drink then have breakfast or “supper” before they go home.
Scary.
I don’t do diagrams, though I could if I tried. I thought they were interesting but a total waste of time.
;o]
My computer complains that my sentences are too long. "Someone" might get confused, it says.
Usually, the someone is the computer.
That sentence is really quite simple. It's not even in passive voice, which I favor, and another thing the computer complains about.
Here's a shorter version.
"The rest of us identify with wings and smiles."
How true is that?
I’m going to close up shop early today, because of the Bowl game. Hard to believe I watched the first one, way back when.
Difficult to judge, but it has a lot of "Truthiness" flavor.
Nice poem, thanks! I had a nap with Jake.
A friend going back almost 30 years ago showed up today -- I've only met him in person once, about 13 - 14 years ago when he was trying to get a job up here (didn't work out). We met online in the early/mid-80s as techies working on very similar projects (sending / receiving email from now-antiquated CP/M computers -- I got there first, but he had the better solution). MUCH later we learned we're members of the same Anglican province. He's now started in a job up here; I am SO delighted!
And we will see the Super Bowl! We picked up a cable amplifier at Radio Shack, and it boosted the signal enough that we get Fox. LoM has run to the store (5 mi away) for beer.
Finally, here are Ealabhan and Gorm Mor. I clearly shot from the wrong angles because the difference in sizes feels huge -- as is the driving. Gorm Mor asks for a light foot on the pedal (I prefer to "baby" my vehicles) and cruises well, but is difficult to park, at least until I get used to his size. Ealabhan is very light & agile and zips around; she's fun to drive, but less suited to long-distance high-speed travel.
Our first stop after lunch was at Fred Meyer to pick up a folding stepstool so LoM can get in and out of Gorm Mor without hanging on the door or other assistance.
It's a happy day!!! *\:^) *\:^) *\:^)
Radio Shack doesn’t sell vary many radios any more. If I wanted to get a tube checked, I would need to drive to the next city over.
That would explain some of the driving I observed there.
I let go of all vacuum tube equipment the year Gorm Mor was made — 1986. Yah, I still have the Heathkit vacuum-tube voltmeter (kit) my mother gave my father before I was born, but it’s not been fired up in decades and would need work to be restored to functionality, IF I could even buy the tube(s) it needs.
Game over. Ads were stoopid.
OK. Now I’m jealous. It will be a long time before I can afford a vehicle, even an old one. *sigh* I’m SO pedestrian.
Yes, it does. It pays to be a defensive driver here, for sure.
I didn’t last to the end of the first half. I think I made it through the VW commercial where the mini-Vader made the car start *har-har* and then went to bed. I knew the Packers would win so the score was anticlimactic.
