ELLIOTT!!!!!

23322. arkymalarky - 1/2/2008 4:06:24 AM

David, I'm not sure, but I don't think it's the same Elliott you're thinking of--as in the old TP days?

23323. David Ehrenstein - 1/2/2008 4:58:55 AM

Hmmm. Think you're right.

He's vanished into the ozone.

Sure, they wouldn't be as soft as Beaver, but what is?
Message # 23297
Unanswerable question, and a great out-of-context quote!
(though a possible answer is, the inside of a possum's pouch? But that might open up a long list of places where I would rather not go. Personally.)

Greetings to all, and to and Sundry too.

Especially to you drive-by or fly-over perpetrators : Elliott, Ohio, Wombat, Kreedon, Ronski, Pelle... all the more missed for your very occasional presence. And as for you lurkers... well fuck you too (but in the nicest possible way!) Whether you lack the courage to post or have forgotten your password, please make the effort... you will be surprised how well, and how warmly, you are remembered.

Special thinks for iii, thoughtful, ulgine who had a tough 2007... probably others too who do not wish to burden us with their troubles, but who ought to give it a try... truly, we can take it, collectively.

For my part, I wish you all as much joy in 2008 as I got in 2007. If any of you actually achieve that, you will be truly blessed.

What a nice and thoughtful greeting! Thanks!

And a happy new year to everyone!

23327. thoughtful - 1/2/2008 8:02:39 PM

Happy new year to all the moties. (Special nod to AC.)

We're 2 days into the new year and so far so good. If we can extrapolate the future from the recent past, we should be all set!!!

As kelog albran said, "I have seen the future and it is very much like the present, only longer."

23328. ElliottRW - 1/2/2008 10:30:24 PM

Thanks for keeping the light on folks. I've been busy, and will remain busy for a few more years, God willing, but I'm very glad to see this place going strong.

I'll see you before election night, I'm sure.

23329. macnas - 1/4/2008 3:52:36 PM

Hope ye all had a good time over Christmas and have the best of new years.

23330. arkymalarky - 1/4/2008 5:44:57 PM

Hey Mac! You too!

23331. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 6:35:19 PM

Alistair,

Ha! Maybe I'll end up on one of Letterman's lists.

I didn't find the inside of the possum pouch particularly soft. Mostly it was warm and nipply. Not gross at all unless you dwell on it.

23332. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 6:35:30 PM

oh...

23333. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 6:35:41 PM

this is a cool post number

23334. judithathome - 1/4/2008 6:45:55 PM

Thank god the water main on our street broke today and not earlier in the week...however, I'd just as soon have water and no break at all.

Keoni went back to work today and I awoke to find not only no water but that I have a developing chest cold.

Thus far, 2008 has sucked. Big time.

23335. Ms. No - 1/4/2008 7:11:40 PM

The wind here has been blowing steadily at 25-30mph all through last night and this morning and gusting up to 60mph. The power has flickered a couple of times, but we haven't lost it yet.

23336. thoughtful - 1/4/2008 9:12:30 PM

j@h, i sympathize with your illness. Hubby and i had colds all holiday long and even gave it to my mother. He's better now. I was better for one day, returned to work and have picked up either a new one or a recurrence of the old one all over again. How frustrating.

Weather-wise, it warmed up this am to 12...yesterday it was only 10. Jimnu!

23337. arkymalarky - 1/5/2008 1:39:02 AM

I'm sorry, Judith!

So far, mine's pretty good. I'm excited about politics for the first time in a very long time, Mose and the rest of my family are doing well, I'm having a very good school year with a nice workload, I'm slowly but surely getting my house and health back under control, I'm losing weight and feeling better, and I found out the bridge in the bottoms is on the historical register, so they can't tear it down. They're building a new one beside it. Best of both worlds!!

I did discover today that I have tendonitis. Unfortunately it was after I made a bad pain much worse by putting together a cheap piece of furniture to put a tv on. That's painful stuff. I still hurt badly, but hopefully the meds, ice, etc, will help.

23338. judithathome - 1/5/2008 6:22:47 PM

Ouch! But such great news about the bridge!

Keoni and I are venturing OUT this afternoon...first time in over 2 weeks for me. AND I bought a new winter coat today...online...and got 50% off on it.

Life is good.

23339. arkymalarky - 1/5/2008 8:40:56 PM

Yep. Will you need the coat? It's going to be in the 60s here today.

I guess I should post this in TV and Movies, but Dish has a good new channel if you're into natural stuff--Veria, on channel 9575. They've got an hour long yoga program and an hour long pilates program, plus cooking, aromatherapy, organic and health info, etc.

23340. judithathome - 1/5/2008 11:20:18 PM

I think you have to pay more for it, though. I think I wouldn't use it that much...don't do either of those exercise programs. But I'll check it out because I'm definitely into the aromatherapy stuff.

That may change (no exercise programs) when the gym opens, though...they have classes and I can go to them 7 days a week if I choose to. I had planned on doing my own thing in the pool...my workout...but I may do a water aerobics class, too.
