A friend said that's the best way to keep them through the winter. 17364. judithathome - 11/5/2005 1:25:02 AM Our neighbor does that, too, but you'd think the ginger and plumeria would die off because he does nothing to them. It's great to do down there during summer evenings and smell the scents of Hawaii here in the wild west! 17365. arkymalarky - 11/5/2005 1:25:59 AM Jen, for me rural is what works. I wouldn't still be teaching if I were in a large district, even an excellent one. But it could just be that I feel at home. Bob is in a larger (but still rural) district, and he's very content. Administration has a whole lot to do with how a school feels too, no matter what its size or condition. 17366. judithathome - 11/5/2005 1:33:44 AM Dodtor just called and it's not my gallbladder, it's my colon. So I have to have antibiotics and a if that doesn't help, another colonoscopy....bummer. 17367. arkymalarky - 11/5/2005 1:37:22 AM Oh man. 17368. judithathome - 11/5/2005 3:10:34 AM One good thing, though, is I don't have to have that arrogant asshole of a doctor who did my last one. My doctor assured me he would refer me to a nicer guy. (My current doc wasn't the one who sent me to that guy.) 17369. ScottLoar - 11/5/2005 5:22:40 AM Yesterday our daughter called in tears to say she found our cat dead. Long aging, most recently enfeebled with no appetite, the cat was found laying on the sofa in its usual place, nothing untoward save... our cat just passed away in its sleep.
A foolish thought: I wonder if it dreamed of us? We three, me, my wife and daughter, who took in a stray from the streets and raised it with us for fifteen years. Sure the cat had a name, but in the last few years it was always "kitty".
Kitty. We liked that. He liked that, too. 17370. Ulgine Barrows - 11/5/2005 6:03:19 AM Aw, I'm sorry kitty died.
15+ years is a long time for a cat to live, did you know.
Your family's love must have prolonged kitty's life. 17371. Ulgine Barrows - 11/5/2005 6:06:56 AM wabbit, those archives are funny. Thanks for the time you spent.
I remember how belligerent alistairconnor was, when he had to say he lived in Alabama to order from museumtour on the holiday hypermart thread.
And that guy in Target acting like I was trying to steal electronic stuff because I had groceries and stuff ~ he didn't have a scale to ring up vegetables on his register.
I'm too lazy to rip my albums to digital format, and I found that my local lending library has CDs of Rubber Soul, Revolver, and the like. Since I've paid for them once, is it stealing to rip them digitally from the library's copies? 17372. Ulgine Barrows - 11/5/2005 6:38:58 AM Anyway...I got museumtour catalog in today's mail and it reminded me of the hoopla.
I am not a crook, and Richard Nixon's SS# is 567-68-0515. 17373. alistairConnor - 11/5/2005 4:38:50 PM No, that's not theft, you've already paid for your copy.
Just last weekend, a young neighbour's American girlfriend dropped by so that I could de-virus her computer... I noticed she had a directory called "Natty Dread".... badumbubumbump WHOOOOO! thirty years ago, I invented reggae with that record... I confiscated it on the spot. I still own a copy, after all. 17375. Magoseph - 11/5/2005 6:28:22 PM The Mote Cafe

I think you lost a post again, wonk? 17376. Magoseph - 11/5/2005 6:30:41 PM Unless you asked one of the moderators to take it off, that's possible. Anyway, I just want to make certain that no one thinks that I was the one who deleted it. 17377. PelleNilsson - 11/5/2005 6:46:57 PM Mago, if you hit "Post" by mistake the result is an invisible post. It happens to me all the time. 17378. PelleNilsson - 11/5/2005 6:48:50 PM To have an arrogant asshole perform a colonoscopy on you is certainly not an attractive prospect. 17379. wonkers2 - 11/5/2005 6:57:02 PM Cap'n Dirty sez, "I kin think of one er two other things Juliette could perform on me thet'd be attractive prospects!" 17380. Magoseph - 11/5/2005 7:00:16 PM Juliette , who is Juliette? 17381. wonkers2 - 11/5/2005 7:03:10 PM I have "fond" memories of the days of sigmoidoscopy. Some of us victims of the annual company physical used to call the sigmoidoscope the "silver stallion." 17382. Magoseph - 11/5/2005 8:02:53 PM Was Juliette the one in charge of the "silver stallion"? 17383. alistairConnor - 11/5/2005 8:53:21 PM Anal and annual? That seems a bit obsessive on the part of the company, Wonk.
