New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Out of curiosity, how did you clean it?

[Ramius]

You mean Jen doesn't know who Yakov Smirnoff is? ;~D

[russian accent] "So when I first come to America, I get off plane and there is big sign just for me to saying 'America Loves Smirnoff'... what a friendly country!"

Nice lookin' stalls...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

There was a movie that used Yakov Smirnoff as a carpenter who spoke very little English... had Jack Nicholson... What was it?

Heartburn

To clean it... locate a running process 'mswctl32.exe' and kill it. It might not die with the task manager. Might need to use the "kill.exe" program that comes with the NT/2000 resource kit to kill it as a service.

Then need to locate and destroy references to it in the registry:

--hkeylocalmachine/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run [& runservice]
--hkeycurrentuser/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run
-- Delete mswctl32.exe in windows/system32 directory.

Patch machine up to date.

Did you hear Rush the other day talking about how demographics alone may dictate America moving steadily leftwards, no matter the efforts of us conservatives?
The long slow defeat.

Very Tolkienesque, though I doubt he knows it.
Just as in the long slow defeat in Middle Earth.

OSB=oriented strand board

(I had to look that up ;~D)

[Ramius]

dangnabit. I thought I only did that once.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Windows needs a kill -9.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heartburn! That's it!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

That's good to hear! ;)

[HairOfTheDog]

I think it is not a line graph but a pendulum swing.... when it swings too far it'll come back... but will perpetually be a little farther center than either side would like. It's self moderating.

[RMDupree]

Evenin' everyone!

Have I missed anything?

[RosieCotton]

Cool - thanks very much!

[Alkhin]

Hello bittygirl!!

Hi msdrby! hello all!

[HairOfTheDog]

Hi Ruthy! we just came in ourselves, and I am not sure I am caught up on the mini dramas either.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Throughout human history, every civilization ever formed has eventually declined and fallen. It will happen to the U.S.A., too, one day. It's inevitable.

[RMDupree]

(((Hair)))

I'll have to catch up some other time. By the time I actually read all of those posts, I would have been too tired to say "hello". ;-D

[RosieCotton]

Demographically speaking, though (and I know I've said this too many times before and I'm probably boring people with it...), many liberals that I know are not having any children, or at most one or MAYBE two. On the other hand, big families tend to be conservative.

Now...immigration and low income single mother types who have five or six kids by different fathers can skew that data somewhat, but I still think that will lead to a future generation with more conservative tendencies than this one. It will be slow and certainly not sure, but I think eventually the scale will tip the other way, for a time at least.
