I don’t know about where you live, but in these parts, it’s supposed to be a warm, sunny weekend. Last week, six or eight inches of snow. This week, over 70 and sunny. It’ll be too goddamn hot before you know it.
Update: Well, Granny is now an official granny, as little Violet Marie was born at about 3:30 AM Central time this morning, at 6 pounds 7 ounces. She was a bit anxious to arrive, coming into the world three or so weeks early, so she will be staying in the hospital for 12 – 48 hours, but mom and daughter are apparently otherwise doing well.
3:33am pdst 🙄 …
Roxie was truly OMEGA/ALPHA :growl: :fist: ARREST ❗ IMPEACH ❗ then V ❗

Morning / Evening :yinyang:
King Kong, Cheers BTW never seen anything else. :tinfoil: :fustrate:
Yeah, get out and go parading, before its too late! Put down that bloomin’ booook.
Just don’t trip over Gonzo as he gets kicked to the curb.If the Repugs keep him, giving the Dems a pretext to continue to tunnel directly into the bowels of the Rovian form of gvernment, they’re bigger morons than we think. And then all things are possible. :sammy:
This demonstrates how much better bloggers are at asking questions and understanding the issues than Senators are:http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml
Its frightening how wretched our elected representatives are. Bush and Cheney are leaving turds lying around all over, and these guys can barely sniff one or two. :sammy:
Good Morning :joe: Here is some footage from the NovaM birthday bash. It’s all the stuff I missed because I just had to be fashionably late. :smack:
Cho theory, again:
:tinfoil: Cho was a disturbed kid, but he was disturbed by BushWorld and his existence in it.
:tinfoil: In his Multimedia Manifesto, he was talking to Cheney and the neocons. Short of unleashing his madness on them, he unleashed it on group of “Little Eichmanns” [perhaps in his mind, and Ward Churchill’s].
:tinfoil: He was not a mind-controlled “Manchurian Candidate” sent to perform a black-op. Yet his sister did have connections to money (vodka? cognac? Blackwater?) used in Iraq.
:tinfoil: He was probably raised in the Church. Steeped in its imagery, he may have seen the hypocrisy of the Rapture Right, while adopting a Jesus complex himself, wanting to be a catalyst for revolution against the Bush crime family’s empire of cristofascist neocon zombie brigades.
:tinfoil: There may be many like him, who come back from Iraq,”copycats” with PTSD…
:tinfoil: This and similar incidents could build the case for a total, global police state…against “state-side terrorists”…T.I.A.
:tinfoil: With enough loyal Bushie US lawyers under AG Gonzales, the Unitary Executive could easily execute a plan of declaring any perceived political enemy to be an unlawful enemy combatant.
Cheers All
americanowviewer, Cheers. and of course :nod: regarding 7 and also: :tinfoil: With enough loyal Bushie US lawyers under AG Gonzales, the Unitary Executive could easily execute a plan of declaring any perceived political enemy to be an unlawful enemy combatant.

Congratulations Granny and PJ!! Given the joy of the occasion, I think I’ll post this Westboro Baptist “Church” music video tomorrow. It’s just beyond dispicable.
pj and RG,
Congrats.
Lil ones are fun, esp. if someone else gets up in the night. I had some friends in town the other day with their 2-1/2 year old daughter and a recently minted girl. They kinda freaked me out by asking me to be her godfather. I guess Vern was the closest thing to Vito they could come up with.
also congratulations and my personal thanks to all of you on the east coast and northeast for “taking one” for the seals.

jim:
bring back a report on the bees. what do they think is causing hive death?
native bees are taking over the pollenation work of the declining #’s of honeybees, but not enuff for commercial fruit growers.

Blue Orchard Mason bees!
http://www.masonbeehomes.com/the_buzz_about_bees.php
jim:
did you make that beehouse? you’re far more dedicated than i. i’m buying a couple of high-tech, easy cleaning, prefabs. i just found out it’s too late to order any bees…duh!
i know i have some around, so at least they will have a huge choice vacant apartments.
—
btw, i have seen other, bigger bees around that love bamboo wind chimes to nest in.
——
druid — happy to hear about jack. i know you were worried about him.
Sunshine Jim , Wonderful. Magic. I am no longer in coastal mountains, which would have been perfect.
But I am a “wickedly good” woman. :rofl2: I have some “gremlins” (as me Grandfather would say) around and I have, I think, enough land to put near my fence-line over open county land where a few teen gremlins like tormenting Danu (not too badly, since most are afraid of her :rofl2: ) 😉
Holy CRAP! It’s Mom’s day tomorrow?? :omg: I totally forgot, my mom is gonna be pissed! 😡
Yeh, that is more like what I am use to seeing :rofl2: http://pets.groups…rganicbeekeepers/
It’s not Mothers’ Day tomorrow, it’s May 13th. You scared the crap out of me Roxie! :hot:
RoxieSeattle, BTW I was going to start 30 , but forgot 😳 , with Whoaaaaaaaa MaMa, …
sorry kpea:
maybe you’re kidding…but, if not —–
it’s earth day tomorrow. that’s the mother i was referring to.
eya roxieseattle!
those are made by a local mason bee keeper.
they have paper tube inserts that allow you to get to the cocoons
and give them a gentle wash to de-mite them. seems to have worked fine here,
Kristapea, Awwww :rofl2: … I also had to run through my “dancer” List. 😉 No Worries. LBH, I think.
Congratulations, PJ and Granny, and welcome to Violet Marie.

hahahahaa! beauty day for a B’day!

thanx, jim for the bee links.

PJ, re 48 WOW …
hey everyone….
PJ and Granny congrats….lets see some pictures!
Did anyone see Maher talk about bees last night?
No Melina, is it worth looking up on youtube?
Did anyone see Maher talk about bees last night?”
no! bummer bet it was a goodun! had a great time with them today!
so Bgurls out at the Bee house and they’re flying in and out of their nesting tubes and one of the ladies has taken a liking to my gill net floats and is working away at filling them.
one of the tubes is filled allready and we have at least five females working away. think the average on blossoms visited is around 1875!
“It takes about 75 flower visits to gather a full load, and an average of 25 loads for an average pollen wad. The female Orchard bee completes about one cell a day, so that means she visits about 1875 blossoms a day! ”
Star vox came up with some great bee bits:
“”The whole fabric of honey bee society depends on communication –on an innate ability to send and receive messages, to encode and decode information.”
From “The Honey Bee”
—————
“Honeybees depend not only on physical contact with the colony, but also require its social companionship and support.”
“How did bees ever become equated with sex? They do not live a riotous sex life themselves. A hive suggests cloister more than bordello.”
From “The Queen Must Die: And Other Affairs of Bees and Men”
—————
“Make the world better. Take the meanness out of people’s hearts.”
From “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd
(sweet Southern storytellin’ about kindness and beekeepin’)”
we need a bee ‘smiley’!
That is the sole reason I could not commit to the Yearly Killing of the Queen to bring Peace to the land of bountiful Honey … so I just let “the wild fly” . I have tons of Bumblebees and I just plant flowers for them. Across the GRAVES there was/is a Huge Nest. However, I long for the magic of the honey so I buy Organic Local Honey. But Bumblebees make me Smile and gently Laugh.

maybe it’s harder to assure food safety when most of your food is coming from overseas 🙄 :smack:
