I am not a poster. I am a crispy critter.

I am an internet java script sent to infiltrate your site and transform you from political neanderthals into a modern 21st Century progressive mode.

This is your first warning.

Do not try and resist.

It is useless.

Accept your fate.

You will be assimilated.

[Alice au Wonderland]

Yes, I am related to Prout. There is photographic evidence.

I meant no disrespect to the amber nectar. I was just curious as to the method you used to glean from it the dental benefits that you told to your dentist.

I have only one problem with beer. No matter what you do to it or with it, it still tastes like....well....beer!

[Tax-chick]

Pat's almost 4, James is almost 2. Pat is making a Statement, I think ... plus there's always somebody else in the bathroom when he says he has to go!

[Alice au Wonderland]

Hmmmm.....Sounds like it's time for tandem potty training. (Pat will have to choose a different statement to make.) Do they have an older brother to emulate or is this going to be a "Daddy job"?

Is there an "out of the public eye" space in which to put a training potty?

[Tax-chick]

They have two older brothers, so you'd think this would be no problem. Pat has a potty seat on the toilet, but we need to get a seat for James, too.

"No matter what you do to it or with it, it still tastes like....well....beer!"

Not necessarily a bad thing. It's hard to mess up the flavor. However, I understand. It is an acquired taste.

It may help to toss the beer to the back of the throat and "taste" it there. There are fewer, and less discriminating taste buds there.

You have heard it said that beer is liquid bread. It is true. During the height of power of Pharoahnic Egypt, the port city of Alexandria had over sixty breweries shipping beer all over the Meaditerranean. You cannot do that with bread. Bread has to be consumed in the city of its origin.

Beer is a way of preserving the nutritional quality of the grain. Without doubt, the pyramids could not have been built without it.

On the other hand, the walls they were building could have ended up vertical instead.

Can it be overdone? Of course, as anything can. But it is not as harmful as some would believe if it is consumed in moderation along with healthful exercise, like lifting twenty-ton blocks of stone.

This is an excerpt from my poem, "Before There Was Dirt," on my home page.

My plan for building Stonehenge was to make it as a star, 
With North and South along a line that went so far, 
And lines to mark the point to which the sun would make its way, 
In Winter’s slow migration up until the shortest day.
 
Too bad the guy in charge did not see things my way, 
Or folks would not be looking on, and scratching heads today. 
But he insisted circular, and folks began the work, 
My stellar plans were set aside. He was a circle jerk.
 
I left that merry England, and others left there too, 
It wasn’t all so merry then, too many folks were blue. 
The pyramids were much more fun, the competition brisk, 
We raced those stones on up the ramps and didn’t mind the risk.
 
I laugh to think about the thoughts that we used “rays.” 
Life was so much simpler then, it’s how we filled our days, 
With building competitions, instead of fighting wars, 
Why else would we pile up stones, without a trace of doors?
 
We’d clap an arc of wood upon each face of cubic block, 
And then we’d get it up to go, by pushing up the rock. 
Then toss a rope around it, and take it for a stroll, 
Let me tell you, we knew then, just how to rock and roll.

Umm, Meaditerranean was a typo.

Funny though, in context.

[Alice au Wonderland]

Just a quickie: I took pix of Prout firing the soon-to-be-restored Yumi. Eventually they will be posted for all's ooh's and aaaah's.

I have to shut down the computer now. T'storm moving through. T'storms are to be respected down here. They are awesome and awe-inspiring.

[Not A Snowbird]

Mmm, yummy! Novicaine and Drills!

I don't mind the drill, really. It's all those other implements of torture I can't stand.

[Alice au Wonderland]

A break in Mother Nature. I've returned.

How're the teeth? NnB subscribes to the beer-genics method of dental health.

[Alice au Wonderland]

Umm, Meaditerranean was a typo.

Freudian slip, perhaps?

MY good graces?... Don't worry about being "gone so long." It happens to a lot of us. And I just have my own ping list, and that for the Undead Thread. But I'll be more than happy to put you on mine. Sionnsar is the Keeper of the UT ping list.

What's this all about?		Some guidelines for posting on this thread. Some highlights of this thread.

Hi, All! Made it through Sunday and back to the work week. Looking at the possibility of snow tonight, and it's in the forecast for the rest of the week.

Which means it isn't going to snow.

[Alice au Wonderland]

Hi Sion!

How are you this fine morning? (Technically, it's afternoon for me, but I'm flexible.)

[Tax-chick]

Which is worse, beer or dentistry ...

Pregnancy is worse than both, I think. I'm going to lie down!

[Alice au Wonderland]

I'm going to lie down,.....With a beer or with a dentist? ;)

[Tax-chick]

With a stuffed animal!

[Alice au Wonderland]

Go take your nap. I'll pick on you when we get back from Kennedy Space Center. :D

[Monkey Face]

Heh-heh!

We had 27 degs last night, and a high of 63 expected today, with wind, and a freeze warning for tonight. Yesterday, the windchill was 27.

The skies are clear blue, and I still haven't turned on the furnace. :o]

[Not A Snowbird]

I'm trying to avoid taking a Vicodin, since I'm at work and it would interfere with my analytical skills. So would beer, I'm afraid.

A little achy right now, but not too bad. Annoying, though.

[Not A Snowbird]

Drat! I was looking forward to watching people try to navigate the hills of downtown in the snow.

It was a hoot watching it a couple of years ago. They finally got a clue and closed off most of the hills, since too many cars were sliding sideways down the hills toward the bay. :-)
