Good night, AC!
Pleasant dreams.
Hope you see you tomorrow.
We've had a very nice Friday. We got a new puppy today.
I will try to post his picture tomorrow. :)
Hi, Jen.
I'm going back to check on pings I didn't get answered. Sorry this isn't timely.
We can't get DSL; we are too far out in the boondocks. :)
We also have a satellite dish for our TV; We cannot get cable. I've had the satellite connection for about a year.
I think DSL is probably faster because they have the cables already there. Some day, maybe they will get cables out this far.
Mornin', everybody ! Happy Saturday !
Have a cup while you Freep !
Happy Saturday, Meekie.
Do you have anything exciting planned for this weekend?
Thank you for today's Welcome Graphic and poem.
We appreciate you!!

Kerry's Indian Name - Running Eagle
During a campaign tour of the Apache Nation a week ago Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said he had a plan to increase every Native American's income by $40,000 a year. Senator Kerry refused repeated requests for details of his plan, however. He also told the Apaches that during his Senate career, he has voted "YES" 9,637 times for every Indian issue ever introduced.
Before his departure, the Apache Tribe presented the Presidential candidate a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, Running Eagle.
After Kerry left, tribal officials explained that Running Eagle is a bird so full of crap it can't fly.
Solitude
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of it's own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
-- Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)
This is not the time for pessimism and rage.
It was nice meeting you too, Jen.
Awww a new puppy. I'm sure he's cute!
That is a faulty translation. Correct is "eagle with the runs."
P.S. First message from a new computer out in the middle of a field, with a wonderful, wonderful dial-up connection. I'm told cable is available even in this remote field, so will have same installed as soon as possible.
Do you have anything exciting planned for this weekend?hehe ! My weekend already got started off to a 'weird' start early this morning.
I got up, early as usual. But I couldn't find my glasses. I always lay them on the nightstand by the bed, but couldn't find them there or anywhere. Sometimes I fall asleep watching TV and maybe they fall off or I take them off during the night. But they were nowhere to be found. NOWHERE !
So I got up and fixed the coffee pot, figuring I'd find them momentarily - on the bed or on the floor by the bed or somewhere.
I came back into the bedroom and looked again. Imagine a(n almost) blind man looking for his glasses. That was me early this morning. By now, my computer is on and booted up. Well, I figured I'd open my I.E. to FR and my Word software while trying to figure out where my glasses had mysteriously disappeared to. I can barely make out enough detail to get everything opened up.
In the meantime, I recall that I have some OLD glasses put away in my bedroom - somewhere. Now Meekie is squint-eyed going through dresser drawers. FINALLY, I find my old DARK DARK sunglasses. Great ! Here it is 3:30 in the morning and I'm walking around the house doing my Ray Charles impersonation. So I turn on another light in my bedroom to help against the dark sunglasses. These were at LEAST two prescriptions back, so they aren't really right for my eyes today, but at least I can SEE well enough to make out some detail.
I look around the room again. No glasses. I get my flashlight out and look under the bed and under the nightstand. No glasses.
Dang ! What happened to my glasses ? Back to the computer, with my dark sunglasses on still. Get my I.E. set up and bring up my FR pinger, etc. Coffee's ready by now. Pour a cup.
Well, I'm Freeping away with my sunglasses on for a while and finally a light goes off in my head. Next to my nightstand is a small wastebasket. A few envelopes and papers in it, so I shuffle the papers around and there they were ! My glasses !! YAY !! They must have fallen in when I took my glasses off last night. OR .... I keep a glass of water on the nightstand and I knocked them off accidentally during the night.
Whoops ! Sorry for the long story here, lol !
LOL ! :^D
