10204. PelleNilsson - 7/6/2004 1:31:57 AM Old measures are indeed intersting. Look for a somewhat weird story in the Slow thread tomorrow. 10205. Macnas - 7/6/2004 1:46:38 AM If I can I will, but it might have to wait until the weekend.
I'm offsite for the next three days, and I very much doubt I will be able to get online. So see you all in a few days time. 10206. Ulgine Barrows - 7/6/2004 1:17:49 PM I genuflect before my dad's old slide measure.
Tools are pleasurable.
(er, I re-read this before posting, that was not a nasty comment....the correct tool for the job, is how I honor my mom & dad...they taught me how to use my hands)
We were at my sister-in-law's house, she has a grand-daughter, yet is much younger than I.
The twists life takes.
We went tubing, and this boat has a serious passenger drench problem.
I got about a gallon of lake water in my purse, and it killed me cell phone. I am now lighting cigarettes off of matches that are mysteriously fused together in clumps of three, from the same incident. 10207. Ulgine Barrows - 7/6/2004 1:19:16 PM O, give up.
Nothing I say in real life comes out right, either.
10208. Ulgine Barrows - 7/6/2004 1:24:12 PM I mean to say, I am full of hope, and it's my wish that you are, as well. 10209. Ulgine Barrows - 7/6/2004 2:00:46 PM I'm not giving in an inch to fear
I knew those matches would dry
And they did. 10210. alistairConnor - 7/6/2004 5:38:07 PM What is tubing, and what sort of boat would that be?
Did the cell phone dry too? 10211. PelleNilsson - 7/6/2004 8:03:49 PM The weathermen tell us that so far this is the coldest summer we have had since 1928. 10212. wabbit - 7/6/2004 8:31:51 PM 
Tubing on the Delaware River.
10213. neato - 7/6/2004 8:42:50 PM That looks so nice! But not really suitable for handbag and cell phone ... 10214. alistairConnor - 7/6/2004 9:30:29 PM Well that's what I thought, but it can't be that... 10215. Magoseph - 7/7/2004 1:26:41 AM Pelle, we saw an unusual sight this morning. In the past five years or so, the Harrier hawks have almost totally replaced the red-tailed hawks which favor this habitat. They have a habit of gathering in groups of twenty or so and circling around and around for some time with the circles gradually moving away. This has always occurred in August and September and it is presumed to be for the Southern migration.
Today, we saw about two groups with about twenty each, going through this performance over our house and heading south. 10216. PelleNilsson - 7/7/2004 1:36:23 AM Ominous. 10217. Magoseph - 7/7/2004 2:14:55 AM I have a message for you in International, Pelle. 10219. Magoseph - 7/7/2004 5:45:48 AM Post 10218 was moved to Conflits in the Middle East. 10220. SnowOwl - 7/7/2004 6:52:09 AM Interesting discussion of measures. While the move to metrics has simplified things in many ways for me it's taken a lot of pleasure out of language. 10221. alistairConnor - 7/7/2004 6:21:39 PM Give a woman a centimetre, eh.
(and she'll take a megaparsec) 10222. Magoseph - 7/7/2004 9:32:55 PM In the same vein, just give her an inch, she'll take a foot. 10223. Magoseph - 7/7/2004 9:53:44 PM Not literally, of course. 10224. Magoseph - 7/8/2004 7:09:54 PM Hello, Ali, say hello to me. I'm lonely in here. I can't get anyone to post anymore.
Let me ask you something--this weekend, during a conversation with my brother, I used the term "escagacer". He started laughing about that, I'm certain he still is. Tell me, have you ever heard that term? Is it that laughable?
