So, it’s Monday again. Isn’t that special. Seems we’re headed back into winter again here, with a lot of wind and kinda cold. Oh, well, at least it’s March now. Just three or four months, and it’ll be spring again.

I’m not sure.
😀
morning everyone….
I just got a reply to my query on the Candide message board which I posted in ’02…glad I didnt wait for the reply to write the paper….
“is candide characteristic of the enlightenmnt?”
I believe I got an A on that one anyway….
ah, how innocent it all was back then….would we go to war with Iraq? Would be catch Bin Laden…
It seems almost quaint….
Waiting for the enlightenment…
History professors are so full of themselves….as if anyone pays attention to history anymore
good morning :joe:
Hey Krista…are you packing yet?…God I hate moving but if I was gonna have such a nice house and a pool….Well, Im jealous!…
When I finally get to build a house here Im thinking of putting an indoor pool. Im not sure if you can run that on solar year round, but it would be nice…and then maybe a bird room off the side…next to the dog room…
Ah, pipe dreams….
Max Blumenthal from the Nation at CPAC 2007 here. This is quite good.
Good Morning Melina, Krista, Kevin and Wanwenxia!
You know Melina, I was gonna start packing but then I realized I would have no where to put the boxes. 🙄 Most everything is in it’s place and that’s all the space there is. I won’t be able to pack until I get the keys to the house. Oh well, it won’t take very long
Okay, I finally have a webpage up with some work. Boy, that sure was easy.
Ah, indoor pools. Some pretty serious air handling (fresh air intake and minimum number of air changes per hour and stuff), due to the fact that the chlorine evaporates out of the water. Especially if there are low ceilings.
This message brought to you by the Ministry of Useless Information.
Nice stuff, KP. I like the Klingon Fruit Bowl. I’m sure every Klingon fruit would want one. Ever do any Raku firing?
Thanks! I have done my share of Raku, yes. Probably will do more when I get some classes to teach.
I’ve done that a couple of times, and it’s fun. I think I just like making a big fire.
Hey, here’s what you like to see in a weather forecast:
Good thing I took my oregano this morning.
Wood Firing is pretty cool too. It’s more of a marathon though and you take shifts and everyone brings lots of food and drink. It’s fairly leisurely until the end when you are trying to make melting temp and hold it long enough to melt everything.
Hey, KP, Maron’s coming your way!
I like the pottery Krista. I’m guessing it’s a Klingon bowl ’cause of the ridges?
Woo HOO! I AM NOT GONNA MISS HIM THIS TIME!
Yeah Andy, I like ridges! :hubba:
Inmates Will Replace Migrants in Colorado Fields
🙁 if maron was there on the 19th i could have gone with you krista
OH Baby!!
PJ quick question i am getting an mtu error when i try to sign into my xbox live account it says it requires a minimum mtu of 1364 any remedy you might have would be appreciated!
Sean, use this to change the MTU Dr. TCP
Hey Sean, are you using your computer as a gateway to the internet via your sprint card, or are you using a router?
Bah HumBug. :yippee: ……. More Tea :joe: Infused Now. :pirate:
Mwah [ or Bwah 😉 ] HaHa
This Is What I Forgot. 😳 “Morning All” :yippee:
Now Mwah …whatever 😉
A.I.V.
Good morning, bloggerini. I see where our nasty weather from last week is turning nasty again for the east coast. We just love to share, you know… Okay, I’m kidding, I’m kidding!
Krista, I especially love the photo at the bottom right. Nothing to identify it, though.
Nothing new with me. Still walking with the #$%$%!#@% cane. And desperately in need of coffee. Catch ya later, bloggren.
Mrs. Art is going to be in Chicago this week and Marc’s going to be there……………………………..in :yippee: SCHAUMBERG 😮
Does anyone know how to take the CTA from downdown to SCHAUMBERG? ❗
im trying to hook my xbox through my laptop that is connected to a wifi hotspot since my sprint card isnt broadband here the wifi is super fast!
Hmm. Well, the MTU for 802.11 is generally like 2304 bytes, plus whatever overhead the encryption adds. Ethernet it 1500 bytes. So, you can use the app that Andy linked to to check the size of the MTU on your wireless adapter, but if the MTU on the WiFi router at Rogue CC is set below what you need for XBox Live for some reason, there isn’t much you can do about it.
Afternoon, All.
Does anyone know what has happened to Farmerkat? Is she alright?
Krista, having struggled to center that GD clay, many times, I am particularly appreciative of your terrific pottery.
We are turning the clocks ahead, this Sunday, a month earlier than usual in order to save fuel. This is the best the Rethug congress could come up with.
Farmerkat is OK. She’s just been busy and not around the computer much.
:rant1: damn bastards!
Gosh, I should have checked back sooner, and this too is just a drive-by. Gypsy. Cheers. How is Sir F:pup: … 😉 …back in a bit 😮 :barf: :fist: a.i.v. awww better
I’ve been doing drive-bys for a while now. I have to keep up with livejournal and I do sometimes have to update my blogspot site (anyone interested in Jonathan Larsen’s blogspot site? He’s gotten active on it again.) And I do drive-bys here. Other than that I’m not online nearly as much as I used to be.
My friend who is stationed in Kabul just had a burn out. He only has 3 years to go until he can retire on full Army pension. He’s thinking he’ll retire sooner and just not worry about the money. He says the way no one in power actually supports the troops is wearing him down. It’s wearing down a lot of the soldiers he’s serving with. We REALLY need the Dems to grab the reins and take control!!!!!
End of rant.
hey everyone….from the car.
I’m stationary at the moment Vern….
There has been so much testimony today about the kinds of injuries that the soldiers have…and there was a story on Today about a commander with severe PTSD…and Bob Woodruff on The View.
I sure hope the country is hearing this…
Mom left a voice mail that Pelosi is kicking ass today in some hearings.
Why are we not impeaching?
hey everyone….from the car.

Now THAT’S a drive-by!
:rofl2:
Okay, Kevin, you cracked me up, too. :banana:
I need something more for lunch. What should I get? My choices are a bag of little cookies or a bag of potato chips.
gypsy,
great to see you and yet sad to see our culinary goddess reduced to the choice of bag of little cookies or potato chips.
Meanwhile I have an urge to make spoon bread for 24. I don’t know why.
Hands on the wheel, people. I am waiting for Tucker to weigh in on Coulter faggot comments. My friend thinks she is throwing down in the Maher mode.
:pup: i pretty much am always coming from a vehicle……
This VA – Walter Reed thing has some serious traction. There are some serious CYAs happening. Even ghoul Cheney is weighing in. Some serious BS could be exposed in a way that registers with the deluded.
As for Ann Coulter, a Who song comes to mind.
:penguin: :parrot: :pup: :cat: :sheep: :billcat:
got the audiobook of animal farm yesterday wow what a story……
:sheep: 4 legs good 2 legs baaatter
Wills friend got animal farm and will got 1984…Will isn’t finished with his yet…school got in the way.
I didn’t read that stuff till high school.
:bow: will is a friggin genius! so when are you gonna get will an xbox 360 so i can play games with him online……
Didn’t Tucker Carlson used to date Coultergeist? Proving to me (at least) that he’s an effeminate, effete, snot.
BTW, I bowed to my conscience and got a big glass of ice water instead of eating junk. I have a lovely stew waiting for me at home and about a gallon of homemade minestrone, too.
Does anyone watch BBC-America? The new “Robin Hood?” I’ve read some comments about how it’s Robin Hood for the post-Tony Blair Britain. I don’t see it and wondered if anyone else got that out of it.
:yippee: im in oregon gypsy!
😥 too bad im in medford……
I just got a mail with an article from the washington post saying that conditions for vets are as bad or worse as walter reed across the country.
I hope to god that this reverberates to the American idiot people out there that the leadership is rotten from the top down…..it makes me heartsick to hear all of these stories…and this is just the iceberg’s tip.
he has an xbox seanie….he just doesn’t bother with it much. he is really big on the Wii right now….
I even had to help Ben get one for his b’day
Hah. If Walter Reed or the VA Hospitals are implicated in the death of Anna Nicole Smith, then the people will care.
Seanie, take a side trip to Ashland. I hear it’s a really beautiful place. And visit Harry and David’s for expensive snacks. And apparently you’re in wine country there so get good wine. And there’s undoubtedly a good local micro-brew. This is, after all, in Oregon.
The weather is SO PRETTY today. Cheer up, easterners, because it’s coming your way next. I don’t wanna be at work. I wanna be outside soaking up some sun while I can. Before it starts to rain again tomorrow.
1. PJ, don’t take this the wrong way, but if I hear anything more about Anna Nicole Smith this month I might just :tommygun:
2. Sean, I just remembered, I have friends in Medford. Not that it does you much good, but if you’re gonna be there again let me know earlier and I’ll try to set something up. Maybe find out about the beer or something…
Hey, this might be good news!
Cheney treated at hospital for blood clot
(Please note that I cleverly also copied over the “material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed” notice…)
WASHINGTON – Doctors discovered a blood clot in Vice President Dick Cheney’s left leg Monday, a condition that could be fatal if left untreated.
The 66-year-old Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, will be treated with blood-thinning medication for several months, said spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride.
She said Cheney visited his doctor’s office in Washington after feeling minor discomfort in his calf. An ultrasound showed the blood clot — called a deep venous thrombosis — in his left lower leg.
Blood clots that form deep in the legs can become killers if they break off and float into the lungs. This is called a pulmonary embolism. Deep vein thrombosis strikes an estimated 2 million Americans each year, killing 60,000.
Serious problem if untreated
Many people suffer DVT after spending long periods without moving, such as passengers on long-haul airline flights. Cheney spent about 65 hours on a plane on a nine-day, round-the-world trip that ended last week.
“When you’re just sitting there with your legs hanging down for long periods of time, that’s what predisposes you to the problem,” said Sean O’Donnell, chief of vascular surgery of Washington Hospital Center.
“Treated properly, it poses a small threat,” O’Donnell said. “Untreated and unrecognized, it’s a very serious problem.”
NBC correspondent David Bloom died in 2003 of a pulmonary embolism after spending days in a cramped military vehicle while covering the invasion of Iraq.
To fight DVT, airlines often encourage passengers to walk the aisles and wiggle their feet. But flying’s not the only risk of DVT; it extends to anyone older than 60 or who has heart failure. Recent surgery, fractures, childbirth and taking birth control pills also can raise the risk.
Clots that form in the thigh are more likely to break off and migrate to the lungs than those that form elsewhere in the legs.
Vice president’s troubled health history
Cheney returned to the White House after the medical exam and continued his work day.
“He’ll maintain his regular schedule,” McBride said. “He feels fine.”
Cheney’s health has long been an issue.
In 2005, he underwent six hours of surgery on his legs to repair a kind of aneurysm, a ballooning weak spot in an artery that can burst if left untreated.
He has had four heart attacks, quadruple bypass surgery, two artery-clearing angioplasties and an operation to implant a special pacemaker in his chest.
Doctors initially treat DVT patients with an anticoagulant medicine called heparin. Heparin was long given intravenously but can sometimes now be injected in shot form. That can eliminate or shorten a hospital stay. DVT patients are then given the blood-thinning drug warfarin, which sometimes must be taken for months.

I’m outta here, bloggren. Time to hit the road or something like that.
Oh, lest I forget later…the odds are I’ll be in Seattle next Saturday for a day of shopping with my hippie friend Amy. SBlue, think you and Roxie and the gang might want to meet us for lunch? (It’ll probably be at Ikea but maybe not…)
Bob Hattoy
:pup: theres a democrat headquarters across the street from the theater im at today just got done talking with a lady from there i feel better now……
:yuck: then again the lady did brag about having the only hillary sign in the county…… then again she did say she is voting obama in the primary……
:penguin: all i am saying is that jeffy would kick napoleans swine ass all over manor farm……
Wow. Here’s some really good news. After I lose my house can I rent a room from you Melina?
Our weather is coming from Canada. Nice cold air blowing across Lake Ontario, and dumping lots-o-snow on us. Pretty fierce wind, too. Supposed to get down to about zero tonight, with a high of 8 tomorrow. I’d mention the wind chill, but that’s for wimps. Supposed to get a foot out of this one, and then Wednesday or so, we’re supposed to get an Alberta Clipper (which means more cold and snow).
:yippee: maybe we can talk bush into invading canada!
huh no maron in tempe 😐 sorry for you krista
then again he is playing atlanta instead time for a farmerkat cnick meetup i hope nick hears the good news!

Those pieces aren’t thrown on the wheel, they are handbuilt and they are not round if you see the side view when I get them up there. Building with slabs is much like sewing.
My friend in Chicago says it’s almost impossible to get from downtown to Schaumberg on the CTA She suggests the Metra
She says she’s not going because it’s in Schaumberg and she says Schaumberg is “icky” :omg:
Hey Gypsy! That bottle is just called what it is, “Lady Slipper”. I can’t believe I’ve been led down the garden path in thinking I was gonna get to see Marc in my own city! 🙁
