This weekend, we put a rain barrel in the front of the house (already had one out back) for Granny’s latest garden project. Had to dig out a level spot and then build a platform out of concrete blocks and pavers to get it off the ground. Doesn’t quite fit in, in our ticky-tacky suburban neighborhood, but then, neither do we. Fuck ’em.
Managed to mess up my arm pretty good trying to get a 1 5/8″ hunk of nylon reinforced tubing onto a barbed plastic fitting. Between pushing and twisting, something bad happened. Hurts like hell, especially when I type. Good thing I don’t type for a living.
Have a good Monday.
Monday Morning antidote for Cokie on NPR.
Warning-Probably kinda 60s old hip and useless and maybe a bit :40: . Time will tell.
Hurts like hell, especially when I type. Good thing I don’t type for a living.
That’s pretty much what I do, isn’t it? Shit.
😡
This is pretty good but just listen to the Pointers if you hate BHO
Oops, Accidentally heard Cokie/Hackie on the replay.
But I still like Nina and she had a good wrap on SCOTUS this session.
Yes You Can by Pointer Sisters was a fav NOW I CAN’T STAND IT ANY LONGER…
Thus it is:
THE VIDEO DID NOT SHOW AN OLD PERSON UNTIL at 2:42: 1 black 1 white persons
Then TuTu timed at 3:03 then TIMED at 3:53 with older multi-colored
women…
AT 14 I KNEW TO SEEK A FAIRNESS towards the ELDERLY THAN THIS RETHUG MEDIA BABY-WHORE, Obama and that belief THUNDERS throughout his campaign.
SCI FI has been writing about this type of scenario for MANY DECADES (before the 60’s)…
THE VIDEO shows how shallow he and his supporters are… selfish & self-involved…
(Leo fire — a certain male selfish, self-involved soul…just his way or no way — with nuclear and coal lobbyists — compared to a Water Scorpio. Whatever)
NOTHING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND ECOLOGY …
HE IS NOT LOOKING AT FUTURE!
(not yelling just emphasizing)
You HAD TO PUSH it, Vernon – I DID NOT SEE ONE POSITIVE THING IN THAT VIDEO, but you are right — although Sam’s Place I mostly avoid — due to work and wasting my time — now here too. 108 is just too old 😉 Have Fun drinking the Kool-Aide with an I.V. in a “slow drip”.
Druid_666 left when I was 66 posts away from Fred’s …thus waiting for Fred’s return.
Maybe you’re just racist, Druid. :smack: And by the way, all caps is perceived as yelling online so if you don’t want to yell then don’t use all caps.
Name calling? :no: KP
Let kindness prevail please…
Morning gang!
pj, the easy way to work a hunk of tubing over a barbed ferrule is to heat the tubing with a hair dryer or heat gun first.
pulled muscles are a bitch.
i miss roxieseattle and Susan Joy.
Sorry Blue, I just get tired of Druid’s name calling and vitriol.
Whether or not it was a prO’Bama video someone not associated with the campaign did on their own, it is a great song that I would like to see the campaign pick up on. I had hopes of talking to the writer about it yesterday but he had the nerve of having to beat a swift retreat to a recording session for some probably useless Amnesty International project related to some probably worthless ‘action’ by a friend. Oh well, I have a few back channels working.
So the way it works now is that any posts here with anything positive about BHO are likely to be met with a diatribe? You’d be correct that your time could be better spent.
:terrorist fist pump:
We don’t have that emoticon?
Yeah, SJ, on #10. #1 was a lot for rs. She liked that stuff as do you. Not too many places to work the “older” demographic anymore.
I went to a 4th party Friday in Bezerkeley you would have loved and likely would have known a person or two.
JBrill, let me out of the :pup: house
B@B hits Reuters
eya Vernon!
backatcha bud!
give my love to Bezerkley.
i taught the first class in womens
auto maintenance there by request form the ladies.
I have been nice to you … :rofl2: :growl: Kristapea, by calling me, one of multi-colours, a racist shows in truth you are.
Yes, Roxie would like #1 (if wasn’t for the fight :slap: :nana: I was going to say :santacool: 8) too re #1 — but then …) plus she (Roxie) liked so much more…especially regarding her and her sister’s beliefs and so much more…
That Video is an immediate assult onto me reminding me about the decades I now will watch Obama and his “camp” fail… You Obama folk have won…
we could have had 16 yrs … but selfish _____ wished and killed further the Polar Bear, Wolves, and ….
Yes as I wrote before ::: for YEARS HERE:
I like you, but do you like me?
I do not think it is funny that NO IMMEDIATE HELP for the environment is forth coming. Now I have to hear about this horrid pro-human, anti environment (pro coal mining and nuclear waste) LIAR.
I just thought one could be a tad FAIR…
Bloody Hell …….. I admitted defeat…Obama’s your man …I no longer went to Sam’s Place (I also call Sederville)
…what more is needed to be said?
I am working on certain projects for future History/Herstory …
just dropped by to talk and play and gentle debate …. but always up for a Grand Debate/Fight …but I quite often since Obama’s “media win, heard such negative things re Hillary — do remember who called Hillary a WHORE FIRST.. RR & YOUR SIDE.
So to me saying WHORE RE OBAMA IS FAIR GAME SINCE HE IS WORSE THAN Hillary.
Again, I do not, any longer have humour — save for Marc — re ENTROPY, the starving poor, my DEMS going again to the RETHUGS…and …and …
I TOLD ALL THAT about me…..
…since MANY (not all) have taken the poison obama pill, it was I leaving…but the negative challenges just were constant.
…with more obama drool i asked for balance, but for naught …have fun ……
And I have never heard such “people -dropping” in my life……I thought of playing but then thought of more important things…ENTROPY!
Yes that is my form of humour. … …A!I!V! *Poof*
Thanks, SJ, but I managed to kill my arm even AFTER I heated up the tubing with a hair dryer. Just had to carry around a bunch of computers and stuff, too, so now it really, really hurts.
Druid, is it actually your intention to display rage? Or am I just misreading you? Hard to tell from printed words what the intent is.
Yay for B@B!
Still catching up on Marc’s last pods. It’s so good to hear his voice.
Funny, I do post some not so flattering O”Bama stuff as well. We need to get this guy in the WH and then beat the snot out of him to do the right things. I am ready to have a POTUS who has half of a brain still working and not a wingnut or a brain damaged tool.
Though accused, I am no OHB zealot but I am with him. He will make me grind my teeth :growl: I am sure but I have not felt so good about a candidate since McGovern. Hopefully there will be enough people like me that are so stoopid and gullible and ignunt or ‘old’ that get fooled as well.
Druid, you should check out Sederville again. Lots of O”Bama hating and nitpicking ‘goin’ round’ over there. Someone or two are even considering Bob Barr, the ex-elephant as their anti-O”Bama there.
Congratulations to Jill!!and hello all.
Stand back…
Team Obama’s convention game plan calls for stadium rally
Gridiron fans, move over. The Obama campaign hopes to turn the last evening of the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Aug. 28 into a giant rally of voters in a football stadium.
Brilliant! How does MkKain counter?
Oops! Near a collapsed bridge?
I haven’t seen anything about Maron v. Seder this week yet.
Seder is subbing for Malloy Tuesday – Friday. On NovaM or later on Green 960.
Obama is too far to the right for me to get overly excited about. I preferred the populist message of Edwards. Alas, he was out of it before the NYS primary, so I was forced to try and choose between the evil of two lessors. A tough call, that. I could have flipped a coin and felt just as good about my vote.
Obama is your basic, average Democrat these days on the environment, Israel, Iraq (I have my doubts that he’ll get us out; we’ll see) and pretty much everything else. Certainly no different than what I had to choose between. Not pro labor enough for me, not left enough. I don’t trust him any more or less than I trusted the other one, or most politicians.
Funny to hear him described as a ‘baby’ when he’s only 9 months younger than I am.
Still, there’s no ignoring the vitriol he seems to bring about in some people. I don’t get it, since it doesn’t seem based in anything rational. It never seems to be articulated in a cogent manner. Not much sense in even trying to talk about it.
I wish Gore was just finishing his second term, or that Kerry (or better yet, Howard Dean) was running for his second. Wasn’t to be, I guess.
You got Obama, you got McCain. Pretty clear cut. I really don’t think it gets any more simple than that.
Odds are the next prez is one and done anyway, with the world of shit he’ll inherit.
pj, I think you know what I was saying was we need to win this one. I even have some delusional hope about BHO I keep in an old sensible Rockport shoe box over there in the corner of the closet in case there is an outbreak of greatness next year.
Deal is just winning the POTUS or a better Congressional majority is just the hope for a new beginning and there will always be work for all of us. Lots of damage to deal with a pebble at a time for all at every level, be it the street or the treetop.
I hope that Obama exceeds my expectations. I am positive that McCain will only exceed my darkest fears.
I’m still afraid that a combination of Republican thievery, bigotry, ideologically ‘pure’ liberals, and disgruntled OWWs will bring us President McCain, war without end, and nine Scalias on the Supreme Court.
On Jeff’s show today.
The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power.
Sounds like my kind of author.
Had a quick computer job this morning, pretty much knew the solution before I arrived and i was right. A small non-profit in an office in the building where the after school program is was trying to leech an internet connection off of our AP, but the signal was too weak and only one laptop could connect at a time. I told them there wasn’t really anything I could do and besides that it isn’t a secure connection. (they deal with criminal background checks etc) Told this person it would be a one hour charge ($35) and I get bitched at about the price! Sheesh! Everybody else around here would want $150 upfront. What is it with people that work in the public sector?
You gotta write those up as $50, and then give them a 30% “non-profit” discount. Makes ’em feel like they’re getting a deal.
:pirate: :knit: :dancers: A!I!V!
