13079. judithathome - 1/6/2005 8:20:23 PM Yes, I recall those arguments. Good times, good times. ha! 13080. The Summer Woman - 1/6/2005 8:36:45 PM There were some pretty bitter arguments about that case at the old International Forum at WC, too. 13081. Max Macks - 1/6/2005 8:48:01 PM So that Imus guy is on the radio in the East
I mean is his show carried in other parts of the USA? 13082. judithathome - 1/6/2005 8:49:17 PM Yes, Max, all over the USA and on TV, they show him doing his radio show, on MSNBC, I think. 13083. wonkers2 - 1/6/2005 8:50:09 PM Let me guess which side of the argument "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" (CG) was on? 13084. Linnea - 1/6/2005 8:51:04 PM The forum I frequented at the time was mainly populated by mothers of small children. It got pretty ugly when the Yates case came up.
Me, I thought she was clearly mentally ill, and that treatment should take priority over punishment. Becoming non-delusional and realizing what she'd done would be punishment enough, IMHO.
What worried me about the case was that her religious community seemingly hindered her attempt to deal with her problems - she was told that she was possessed and needed to pray, not that she was ill and needed medication. 13085. Magoseph - 1/6/2005 8:52:22 PM I wonder if the Yates are divorced now. I know that he filed last year sometime... 13086. Linnea - 1/6/2005 8:54:19 PM (Aah, Summer Woman . . . I suspected your identity before, but now my suspicions are confirmed.) 13087. Magoseph - 1/6/2005 8:56:34 PM Linnea, what exactly confirmed your suspicions, just curious? 13088. Max Macks - 1/6/2005 9:08:05 PM Judith well I dont have Cable.
Do you listen to this Imus?
How did he get that name? Is that his real name? 13089. Linnea - 1/6/2005 9:15:07 PM Back to the subject of weather . . .
We got our first measurable snowfall of the year: 8-10 inches! Yes!
I work on a university campus, and must pay a yearly fee for the privelege of parking my car here. This fall, I decided not to buy a parking pass, because I'd been biking to work all summer. I kept up the biking until mid-November; when it got cold and rainy, I resorted to parking on the nearest free-parking side street and taking a 15 minute walk to the office.
Today I stuck my skis in the car, resolved to ski the 15 minutes instead of walking it, there being only one street to cross along the way.
Things were going fine until I got to a part of the route that necessitated skiing atop a four-foot ridge of snow piled up by snowplows along a fourlane street. It was slow, crunchy going, and I decided I'd be better off taking off my skis and walking on the road instead. Whoops. I released the bindings on one ski, stepped off it and . . . sunk up to my thigh in the snowbank.
I tried to put the ski back on, but the binding was all iced over and I couldn't get it to close again. So, I made my way over to the street, sliding one ski and sinking the other leg in two or three more times, then removed the other ski (which promptly slid into the street; fortunately no cars were passing at that moment), slid myself down the side of the bank, and walked the rest of the way, carrying my skis. I made it to work with about 30 seconds to spare; enough time to pant to the co-worker I was relieving that I was too out-of-breath to do the top-of-the-hour ID (I work at a radio station), so he'd better stay one minute past his allotted shift and do it for me. He obliged. 13090. Linnea - 1/6/2005 9:15:58 PM Magoseph, I was reading earlier posts where she mentions her son Strudel. 13091. judithathome - 1/6/2005 10:00:22 PM Max, I don't listen to him because he comes on too early. His real name is Don Imus and he runs some sort of ranch for young kids with cancer. He's not a bad guy. 13092. Ms. No - 1/6/2005 10:06:19 PM Linnea,
You work for a radio college radio station? Cool! 13093. thoughtful - 1/6/2005 10:14:02 PM Max, scroll to the bottom to see a list of affiliated radio stations if you're interested in imus in the morning. 13094. thoughtful - 1/6/2005 10:19:06 PM Actually, I think the imus ranch is a rip. Not that he isn't running this ranch and really bringing in ill children, but he was making a big deal about having reached 500 kids who have been to the ranch. Sounds great except when you factor in the literally millions of dollars that have been spent by donors to keep this unprofitable ranch going year round so a handful of kids can spend a week there in the summer. Not a good return on investment in my book. 13095. Linnea - 1/6/2005 10:29:36 PM Ms. No, it's an NPR station, staffed by actual adults (like myself), but it is housed on a college campus. 13096. Ms. No - 1/6/2005 10:38:20 PM Yeah, they run NPR out of Santa Monica College here. It's great because we get a lot of really good music programming. Just in the last week I saw a couple of rented movies and noticed the names of the music supervisors on them and recognized them as local DJs who have shows on KCRW which is our NPR station - Liza Richardson and Chris Douridas. It felt kind of homey. ;-> 13097. Linnea - 1/6/2005 10:52:25 PM Doesn't Harry Shearer's "Le Show" come from KCRW? My old station used to carry it. 13098. Max Macks - 1/6/2005 11:24:24 PM For some reason I don't listen to the radio.
In part because unlike so many people if I am
reading or doing something else I prefer silence
to noise.
On the classical music station which I do listen sometimes
I want to just listen to the music
and not listen to music as background noise
to doing something else.
and now I wonder about "on the classical station"
should it be "with the classical" ?
--probably neither _LOL
