I learned a couple of things about marriage when I was still dating. One is that, unless there's an unusual strain, the wife's family is part of the package. Another is that showing disrespect to a woman's "daddy" can be a fatal flaw in a relationship.

Fortunately, I didn't run afoul of those two things before learning about them.

Unbelievable...incredible...superlicious...confoundabulous...but how come no one has posted since last month?

I am on the cutting (insane) edge of Internet technology (phone modem 10 bucks a month employee deal). The Internet is available in my home again but it wasn't accomplished without a little blood, sweat, and near-tears. The knowledge that all that has to happen right now is a phone call or text message coming in on dh's phone to ruin it is acceptable at $10 per month, maybe?

I've missed yas, missed yas, missed yas, and missed yas...I kid you not. Is everyone alive, well, and still kickin'?

Hugs, hugs, hugs! Now, I will have opportunity to tell yas how bizarre my neck-a-da-woods is these days.

Montana's on da map this election year (how ludicrous!) and my sign is on the gate warning political clipboard-carrying people trying to count votes before they have been cast to stay out or I will simply call the police and ask them to come and order the trespassers to get out for me ('course I wrote it short and to the point on my altered "No Trespassing" sign that has an unaltered "No Trespassing" sign that "nasties" like to ignore!).

You know how hard it is to post in here when some troll has stolen your keyboard?!?!?!?!?





Me either, but I thought I'd ask anyway.


Speaking of election, who'd a thought the last time you posted that on candidate for prez would be an Illinois shyster & empty-suited freshman senator and the other would be a maverick barely within his own party but called a Bush clone? Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Hiya Karen! I, for one, wasn't posting in order to not overload you with posts to read through when you finally had a moment to spare for us.

yes, but trying to behave

Hey, on the subject of Jimbo's avatar and Karen, have you heard that Mr. Patrick Stewart will be guesting as a time lord on the upcoming season of Dr. Who? Talk about causing a rift in the space-time continuum...

KARENB!!!
You are ALIVE! You are ALIVE!
I had given up and here you are!


Ok that's enough dancing, now let's get down to brass tacks.
Can we count on you being in here daily or maybe weekly?
You are such a tease.

You asked why no one has posted in here.
I don't have a good answer other than
my trollishness has turned into mush.

I don't know who is going to be the Prez.
It ain't gonna be purty either way but I'm voting
for McCain anyway.

If it goes the other way...
I may take a four year nap.

I suppose one has to be able to view BBC to see this? I can tune in three PBS stations but we don't foot the bill for BBC.

Some things never change. You still know how to break my heart so easily.

I want a three page report, dialogue included, after you view this program.

Um...I guess this means it isn't necessary to resort to anagrams to talk about politics...at least not yet.

My forums are scary looking. What a mess to throw out! I am not the same person that posted in some of those strings I see before me and I most definitely am over the little "mid-life crisis" period of insanity that I would call it, in retrospect. My husband and I have our wigs securely back on again.

That mid-life thingy can be quite a ride. When a husband and wife make it through that with no scars or murder, they both deserve a medal - and have lots of material to discuss for years to come:






That's not to say that I have any firsthand knowledge about that.

We don't talk about it. We probably see it exactly the same. Our heads had gone somewhat goofy and I guess we both wanted to think that age is irrelevant somehow. I can't explain it. I can say that, thank God, we came to our senses and accepted our age and the natural and really quite good differences that our age places between us and the youngins.

Dr. Who runs on SciFi now, but we don't get the new seasons until after they've run on BBC. So seeing as they haven't even filmed this episode yet, it may be awhile before I get ya that report.

I'm not gonna answer, cause I'm just so very tired of it all, but I do wish there was more to it. Like what if we did issue-based voting- instead of voting for people with their prepackaged notions we would vote for what we want them to do. Brilliant, no? Let's go change the system!

Huh?

Well, first off, it would encourage everyone to run around proclaiming,

I have issues!

even more than they already do.

Second, issues can't take any action on their own behalf 'cause they aren't living things. Maybe we could solve that by incorporating robots into this scenario?

Okay- Problem... Robots are computer-based lifeforms correct?

computers are only as good as their input correct?

the input is only as good as the PERSON inputting it correct?

so you see- we are invariably back to a PERSON or a group of persons deciding on the robots makeup and all. We all know people do stupid stuff.

...so whatever decisions and details we decide on by democratic vote have to be put into the robots. We simply hang the programmer upside-down by the seat of his pants and persuade him to do so under threat of mob rule!

...which reminds me...I missed International Talk Like A Pirate Day and I don't even care!

The donkey crew has been accusing the elephant team of being Bush clones. Now that, under the Bush administration leadership, market confidence has been restored and is beginning to recover, the elephant team has taken a drop in polls because people trust the donkey crew more with the economy.

I'm of the opinion that the American people generally get the kind of leadership they deserve.




Doodleheads.

I am not a doodlehead- I am a curlytop. Just ask my Daddy, he will tell ya that.

Joy- that is the issue... SOMEONE (that bill gates or that apple guy paid) TOLD IT TO DO THOSE THINGS.

Good morning!

...the elephant team has taken a drop in polls because people trust the donkey crew more with the economy.


...but does that view not come from fellow donkeys in the media?

I came across a word that I can't get out of my head in a Sherlock Holmes story -

reconnoitring

It looks mispelled, doesn't it? Unless it is a typo, it is correct. It means something like surveying, as on a military mission or "reconnaisance" (probably mispelled). It seems to infer a prior knowledge that there is something in a certain spot that one already knows they want. Reconnoitring is trying to find and get that something.

For example, " Wasn't that your dog that I saw reconnoitring around my front gate this morning? "

Goggle informs me that "reconnoitring" is the UK & Canadian spelling of "reconnoitering" (which Microsoft Word prefers).

I was always too lazy to look it before and just assumed it was some kind of stomach, bowel, or foot disease that soldiers get while out scouting an area for information.




Unrelated, since we haven't seen either in a long, long while, do you suppose that JoToP and Euty were the same scoundrel that just logged on with different handles while reconnoitering the forums?

Yes, the famous Brit, Dr. Watson, used the first spelling when he wrote about a particular mulato reconnoitring through a window in The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge.

No way! Two entirely different trolls!

I have it on good faith that JoToP works himself to the bone!

As to Euty...I miss those guys!



Just think of all the work they must be getting done though!


Hey, how come connoiter/ connoitr is not a word! Stuff like that really bothers me!
