jayackroyd, if I was to buy a lime in your neighborhood, what would it set me back? 15829. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:10:10 PM Mac, any fishing in store for you this weed end? 15830. Macnas - 7/15/2005 4:24:36 PM Nope, no water, no sea trout. 15831. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:29:30 PM You have a drought, there like in France?
Flexy saw this morning how important it is to be able to make a dog heel when the situation demands it. He had two encounters with three leashed dogs that went berserk when he went by them with our Butch who was extremely angry straining to get away from him. When he came back, he warned me to be careful when I walk pass these houses. I told him that I have this type of situation completely under control. He was unbelieving, so we went out with me leading the dog, and, naturally, the three dogs barked crazily at Butch while he last totally ignored them. Men can be so certain that only they can do the right thing--it really boggles the mind sometimes.
Does your wife have this kind of problems, Mac? 15832. thoughtful - 7/15/2005 4:34:33 PM Mags that's very cool to know that it works. 15833. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:42:51 PM thoughtful, I learned that by reading the link you provided--thanks to you I was able to show off to Flexy. 15834. Macnas - 7/15/2005 4:47:03 PM My wife brooks no disobedience from dogs. Once the dog knows who is who, it took commands from both of us. We just make sure we use the same command and tone, so the dog knows what's being asked of it.
As for a drought, we are at the start of one to be sure. But it would not take a drought for the level of water in the river to be too low for sea trout to move up stream, which is the case at the moment. 15835. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:55:16 PM ...same command and tone, so the dog knows what's being asked of it.
Another good advice from you, Mac--we're going to work on that now.
Have a nice weekend! 15836. Max Macks - 7/15/2005 5:53:45 PM Hi Mago. and Mrs. No.
temps up here in the Bay Area climbed to almost 75 F yesterday !! but then cooled to about 60 F so
as uusual one sleeps under down comforters and or blankets.
I have lived where the humdity can be a high as the temp.
not at all comfortable.
wabbit , I'm back in the Mote to follow your
coverage of the bicycle race.
Amazing that Armstrong could maybe win again. 15837. Ms. No - 7/15/2005 7:19:30 PM Max,
I envy you the Bay Area weather but not the rents...although I suppose they're not that much higher than Los Angeles and if one lives in the City proper then transportation is much easier than here. 15838. The Summer Woman - 7/15/2005 9:17:01 PM Mago - Sorry I haven't been around much of late. The novelty of Demonizing Religions has finally worn off so there are far fewer posts to read (and whole new subjects to learn!) so I will try to make it over here more often. 15839. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 10:18:46 PM I am very pleased that you are thinking of us, Summer. Thank you for taking the time to visit the Café.
15840. alistairConnor - 7/15/2005 10:29:51 PM I got to see some fireworks over the last couple of nights. Not on purpose...
Municipalities do their fireworks either on the 13th or the 14th. On the 13th I was at the Roman theatre in Vienne, at the last concert in the jazz festival (Brazil -- fabulous) We were sitting higher up than usual, having got there a bit late, and we had a splendid view of the town and also quite a long way up the Rhone valley towards Lyon. As the sun set (long concert : started at 8.30, hadn't finished when we left at 3.30 am) the fireworks started, at various sites in the middle distance.
Yesterday we (me and the daughters) did an overnight pony trek. I drove the van to a suitable site, came back by bicycle, and we set out in late afternoon (very hot!) and arrived around sunset. The chosen site is near some radio/TV masts, and dominates the whole Saint Etienne urban region. We heard lots of rumblings and bangs, spooked the ponies a bit -- thought it was a storm coming, but no, lots more fireworks.
Very pretty. 15841. Ulgine Barrows - 7/16/2005 7:06:23 AM Saint Etienne is an urban region? I thought they were a band, I have their 1991 recording, "Foxbase Alpha". Favorite tracks are
stoned to say the least
Etienne gonna die
only love can break your heart 15842. Ulgine Barrows - 7/16/2005 7:21:51 AM I got fired from selling cars.
Maybe I'll do better in real estate? 15843. Magoseph - 7/16/2005 10:10:15 AM I did well in real estate for about three years—I got on the start of an exodus to exurbs and got off just in time to focus on something more remunerative. I had the luck of the innocent, not to mention help from some well-placed friends, thanks to Flexy who was watching on the sideline of my life. The only smart thing I did then without any prodding was to invest the money I made and leave it untouched for my very old age, if I get to it, of course. 15844. alistairConnor - 7/16/2005 11:26:57 AM oh. my. god.
Get thee back to software, wench!
Or to a nunnery, go. 15845. alistairConnor - 7/16/2005 11:27:37 AM Yes I think the band are named after the football team. They were a big deal in the 70s (the team) 15846. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 7/16/2005 4:25:43 PM Speaking of old age . . .
Jacob, age 92, and Rebecca, age 89, living in Florida, are all excited about their decision to get married. They go for a stroll to discuss the wedding, and on the way they pass a drugstore. Jacob suggests they go in.
Jacob addresses the man behind the counter: "Are you the owner?"
The pharmacist answers, "Yes."
Jacob: "We're about to get married. Do you sell heart medication?"
Pharmacist: "Of course we do."
Jacob: "How about medicine for circulation?"
Pharmacist: "All kinds."
Jacob: "Medicine for rheumatism and scoliosis?"
Pharmacist: "Definitely."
Jacob: "How about Viagra?"
Pharmacist: "Of course."
Jacob: "Medicine for memory problems, arthritis, jaundice?"
Pharmacist: "Yes, a large variety. The works."
Jacob: "What about vitamins, sleeping pills, Geritol, antidotes
for Parkinson's disease?"
Pharmacist: "Absolutely."
Jacob: "You sell wheelchairs and walkers?"
Pharmacist: "All speeds and sizes."
Jacob: "We'd like to use this store as our Bridal Registry." 15847. judithathome - 7/16/2005 6:37:50 PM Arky, are you having cooler temps this week? We are...I wish this freakishly cooled down weather had waited for the end of the month. ;-)
