15008. arkymalarky - 5/18/2005 12:00:54 AM Uz, I don't think so. 15009. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 1:02:23 PM I should have known that, Arky--after all, I'm a fan of "Six Feet Under". I still have a hard time with many expressions such as this one. After I read your answer, I asked Flexy what it meant and of course he knew.
Hello, everyone!
15010. alistairconnor - 5/18/2005 1:34:27 PM Top scientists explain : Today, May 18th, is the ideal day to make a new year's resolution.
M x O + Bh (H+R) x S, where M is for motivation, O for opportunity, Bh for proximity to a bank holiday, H for the increasing hours of daylight, R for reflection time and S, naturally, for success. It all adds up to May 18, according to psychologist Cliff Arnall.
It's true that I'm feeling good this week. 15011. thoughtful - 5/18/2005 2:03:09 PM Lots of wildlife this a.m....lots of turkeys who were dancing around, 3 horses, a canada goose, squirrels of course, and a fox who's hanging around our neighborhood...looks fat and happy given all the turkeys around.
Maybe that's why cas has been hanging so close to home... 15012. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 2:48:26 PM  15013. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 3:07:53 PM

15015. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 3:52:25 PM It's foggy, but he lillies of the valley are finally in bloom.
 15016. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 3:53:33 PM Can you see the pictures, Arky? 15017. arkymalarky - 5/18/2005 4:06:53 PM Yes, as far as they've loaded. They're faster than usual today. A lot of days I just can't wait for the pictures to load (I dropped my separate computer phone line, so I only have one phone line now). They're very nice, Mags 15018. alistairconnor - 5/18/2005 4:20:48 PM Le lys dans la vallée. Very Balzacien, Mago.
Ah les femmes de trente ans... 15019. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 5:23:09 PM I'm more a Nana’s sympathizer, Ali--as a kid, I heard so much about one my ancestors and his obsession with Zola and the Dreyfus affair. My father had all the books then—wonder what happened to them now. He was a contremaître in a silk factory and quite a drunk on Sundays. As soon as he retired, he went from one of his children to another and everyone gave him wine. Since he had ten kids, he died happy within a couple of years--no one had the courage to keep him sober. After his funeral, the neighbors were scandalized because they heard his children and his friends laughing aloud--they were relating to each other anecdotes about him. It’s strange the things that come to mind sometimes. 15020. thoughtful - 5/18/2005 6:08:43 PM those don't look like the lily of the valley that i know...they look too tall and the leaves in the pic are feathery.
Here's what I call lily of the valley...muget des bois?
 15021. thoughtful - 5/18/2005 6:09:58 PM actually in the pic that looks to me like white bleeding hearts.
 15022. judithathome - 5/18/2005 6:18:15 PM The lilies of the valley I had in Germany looked like thoughtful's first picture...such lovely and sweet smelling little beauties; hard to believe they are poisonous. 15023. thoughtful - 5/18/2005 6:23:02 PM they also make a terrific ground cover for shady areas...if you don't mind them taking over everything. my roadside rock garden is just loaded with them...and i guess its shady enough for them to survive the summer though the maple tree that used to be in the middle of the garden is long since gone. They do die down at end of season though so lend no color throughout the winter
15024. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 6:41:07 PM We had those plants last year:
They were so ugly, i couldn't stand them, so I took them out--now the lillies of the Valley took over their place and we like that much better. 15025. thoughtful - 5/18/2005 7:06:36 PM ferns? 15026. Magoseph - 5/18/2005 7:51:27 PM Yes, they were ferns, but these were really ugly. 15027. jexster - 5/18/2005 9:27:18 PM ACT-UP! FIGHT BACK!
I just learned that the New York Times has announced that beginning in September, they will charge 50 bucks a year for access. A few in England do this and if the practice spreads, it will shut down vital news media access for concerned, civicly engaged, citizens throughout this country, especially lower income individuals.
ACT UP today..contact the NyT Ombudsman
