Yep. Famous in my own mind.
Sorry you lost your work, Beans.

yay, glo!! *twinkly eyes*
do you have a thumb drive, beans? save to that and even if the computer melts down your work is safe.
oh, and hit save every so often so you don’t lose everything

Morning y’all…
Rose…”thiugh” was a repeat of the misspelling of “Though” from a few threads back when I meant to have a name of “Though She Was Born a Long, Long Time Ago”.
‘Twas just a piece-ful way of saying “I’m back” while keeping with the meme of devouring the late Mormon, Andy.
Maybe I should have asked if he had a running buddy named Amos, but that might have been seen as being ‘insensitive for referencing old racist TV + radio shows’ even though it would have been meant to highlight the only-decades-recent relaxing of the Mormon honor code to include African Americans (or non-Caucasians or whatever the actual revelation or prophesy was back then).
Hopefully if I ever offer you a virtual piece o’ fish you’ll not be unsure and accept it unambiguously…hook, line, and sinker…as ’twere…
Gotta let Mrs. T on to this borrowed rig to check her email…
Cheers y’all!

yeah fairer skin craze in India is not new. Fair = beautiful. That’s how it works.
but if you think about it, it’s damn funny. Indians are racist against themselves! why let other give any chances.
but seriously the root lies under 200 years of British rule, which is really pathetic.

Put some tounge-twisters in your presentation to slow down your talking, Beans!
Here are your pancakes, Wo. I didn’t know whether you’d want plain, blueberry, chocolate chip or apple-cinnamon, so I made you some of all.
Good night sweet rose, good morning sweet Wade.

Grrr.
Instead of copying, I pasted.
Rewrite.
WotV, I have a friend who could probably write those, but she’s studying law, so, no time.
Beans – just make sure you put some slides in upside down, back to front, reverse it the wrong way and so on… should slow you down some, but also affect the mark, I guess. Art slides! I bet it will be great.
Okay, I’m off to bed. It’s past midnight.
Good days to all, my luverlies.

My, I disappear and you all come in to play! The whole school didn’t dress up, but yes, the Japanese often don’t do things by half-measures. Except for homework when I set it.
Glad you’ve got a half day, Fri, CB, and that you liked the song out there. Beans, yaaay for powers of observation

did you dress up glo and CB?
in the end i went as minnie mouse – although i use the word “went” loosely, as i just watched scary movies with my friend and drank copious amounts of wine and fell asleep early.

Comment #138354
Good morning, beans. That just means you don’t rely on the praise of others to make you happy, unlike me.
Good morning anyway, CB. Friday will be here before you know it. Although I am saddened that you have to play dumb.

Good morning, Wo! I bet you didn’t expect me to be sitting right next to my phone, eh?
Looks like a lot of people really got into the whole costume thing, eh rose? I guess Japan does kinda have that reputation….

Rats, woke up again today.
I would sy good morning, bt I so don’t want to go to work today.
Oh well…I have a half day on Friday, so I’ll press on through the next few days taking “days off at work”…I’m not planning to work too hard.

Hi, Ty. No, it was on an older thread. I can’t remember which one, maybe the Mormon one. You said you left a piece of thiugh for me, or something? Might be thigh as in thigh – but Wade and I had been riffing on the ghoti spelling = fish on another thread, and I thought that maybe it was in reference to that.
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:36 am
Comment #138346
Hi Rose,
Piece o’ fish?
Just checked the current thread + I don’t see it…
Tell me whatcha referring to and I’ll explain what I meant, promise…
If it was Soba-ville…I thought/think soba is a noodle, but I haven’t been there since a little over 5 decades ago so maybe it’s slang for fish now
Have fun with the dynasties riff
Best,

Re DLS, as opposed to SLC… (no connection – LDS, that’s what I meant!), my state, for years, has voted against it. The last three years the government had a three year trial. The businesses were happy, and a lot of people, too. I don’t like it, but lots of people think we’re totally backward for not having it. I like sunlight in the morning. Not that I always get up at that time. I like long evenings, but they can finish at 8 or 7.30, no problem.
oi, in China they do not differentiate between times. I cannot believe that. It is such a huge country. Imagine the difference between 5am on the east and the west of the country.
Too long, sorry.

Total drive-by. Had a nice enough weekend, nothing particularly exciting. Brewed 9 gal of beer today. It was supposed to be 11, I’m fine-tuning my process since I upsized my boil kettle. So it’ll be 9 gal of more powerful stuff than I had planned (well, 6% instead of like 4.8%, no biggie).
I think she’ll probably be OK, but it is definitely worrying.
Tomorrow I’m heading off to Kodiak Island, AK again to do some work for the Coast Guard water treatment plant there. I’ll be there tomorrow through Friday. So I’m not gonna be in here for a little bit longer, but I’m doing fine, don’t worry about me.
My mom is having an exploratory heart procedure done on Friday, I’m not totally clear on exactly what it is, but a stent may be placed when they do it. That is on Friday morning. It seems that she failed her “stress test” a week or so ago.
Anyway, hope y’all are doing well. I will check in again probably once I get back from Kodiak.

Why was it forcibly, ‘glo? I thought I had backread?… Have to google your acronym again. Ty, did you offer me a piece of fish on the main? You’re too clever for my own good.
I was avoiding that thread, pretty much, but I think I’m up to comment 8 now.
‘glo, I like my Li Young Lee, and I think if I had learnt a lot of those poems younger they definitely would have stuck with me. My mother quotes them all the time. I’m not that well read on poetry, though, and have some trouble with the older poems. Not to say they aren’t good.
Wordsworth is another one who lived forever.

Well, repeated leafing through my Norton’s has given me a pretty good timeline for who wrote what when, although the longer-lived poets like Yeats and Whitman can cause confusion.
Oh, and though I googled in order to cut and paste, I can recite it by heart. I learned it long ago and never forgot it. It’s got a good rhythm; you have to keep going.

Though I only know the first line.
You beat me by a minute, so what’reya drinking? I’m sure your spelling is spot on, too. I didn’t google.
Hmm… Blake was divinely affected, though, I think Shakespeare, while divine, was working for a crust… maybe they shared the same vision, albeit some time apart.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
You think Blake was ripping Shakespeare off?
