It’s nice to have the day off, but I’m looking forward to next year, when it’s on a Friday (leap year and all). Watch out for the drunk drivers on the road, and try not to blow any vital body parts off with fireworks. I think I’ll just sit around and wish I didn’t have to go to work tomorrow.

Good Morning :joe:
morning gang!
so, up at 5 here,
dogs barkin their brains out,
this cat on the front walk sitting and staring at them.
it’s a young cat, just past kitten stage, a nearly black tortoise shell. a beauty too!
looking for a home is my guess, i’ve seen it lurking around the hood for the last few weeks.
must be insane and a little desperate if it’s considering hanging out here with a pair of jack russells.
a significant 4th of july to everyone! heres hoping more folks get the message this year.
:joe: :joe: :joe:
ah! that first cup of coffee!
life is good!
So, my mom sends me this story about someone who bought Walmart gift cards for her grandkids and when they went to spend it, the balance on the card was almost gone. Supposedly, someone went round the store and used a scanner to scan the bar code and spent it. There is none of the who, what where, how’s and why’s in the story. No links, nothin’. Someone could have pulled this story out of their ass and my mom and her friends are passing this crap around. Maybe it really did happen, it’s plausible. But with no other info I’m not gonna pass it around. I guess this is how rumors get started.People really do just believe everything they read.
Tea Cheers Kristapea, just listened to the
THE WAR ON BRAINS …Mort M. hahahahahaha …A!I!V!
Is it a brown tabby, Jim? They are the friendliest of the breeds. I had a brown tabby named Paco, purred as loud as a hog. All the brown tabby’s I’ve met are super affectionate and not afraid of dogs at all. I found Paco attached to my screen door meowing with the dogs going nuts. I was adopted. :cat: He used to sit on the top of the couch which was close to the door, and try to open the door with his paws. :cat:
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya Dru :billcat:
:joe: TEA :joe: TEA :joe: Cheers Sunshine Jim
MERRY 4th Kristapea & SunShine Jim :pirate: :yippee:
So, my friend found a dog who didn[‘t have tags, etc. She tried to find the owners but no luck. So she started to find a home for him and put an ad up on Craigslist. She’s found a good home for him but she says she’s gotten a few strange emails from people very interested in the dog from Alabama 😕 That they are just in love with the dog(without ever having met him) and they will pay to have him shipped. The person says he is a Veterinarian and my friend seemed to think he was foreign. The dog has a home already but my friend thought it was pretty strange. I told her it sounded pretty fishy. I wonder what use someone would have for a dog who would pay to have him shipped across country? Is selling animals for experiments that profitable??
mornin Kristapea!
it looks black at first, with a lil bit of rust red, like a dark tortoise shell. a cute little cat.
would love having a cat here but i’ve been warned about Jackers and cats.
LMAO Lawton and sedition radio! thanks for putting the player up here PJ!
Tabbys are the friendliest (I found) and the most loyal. The Orange is next :cat: … but I like the “aloofness” of the Blacks Mwah HaHa … But I :love: All the Meows even
One-Eye-Jack :pirate: The Gray 😉 and RATS (ex-dead rats walking)
eya D6!
morning! and best 4th of July vibes!
The dog pound here really puts you through the ringer to adopt a pet. When I got Nellie I had to fill out this huge questionnaire about my living situation etc. I was a little annoyed until I figured out why they do that.
hard to tell Kristapea.
did you post a pic of the pup?
I think my friend did post a pic. The dog is not small, he’s a pitbull/golden retriever mix. He would not be cheap to ship. I also wondered why a vet couldn’t find a dog to fall in love with in Alabama? Definitely fishy. :no:
I wonder if they wanted to fight him?
i had a beauty black cat once, her name was Mona.
what an amazing hunter! we were living in an old mansion in Oakland with a huge overgrown garden. she stopped eating cat food in the summers and lived off that gardens small game.
Mona was my first cat.
fight em?
maybe… the weird stuff people do to pets is beyond belief.
i’m surrounded by people that love their pets and i’m delighted i don’t have to deal with pet cruelty in the hood.
I just wish to state this. MY COMPUTER SAYS N O !
I tried 1/2 the night trying to get back on MSists site then the rest of the night just to try and get back on sam’s site :smack: to back to and now the morning and ALL I WANTED TO SAY is that I liked Godzilla and It is not that I am not there on=this=site except for my name :smack: :smack: :smack: Bloody L ….. A!I!V!
sheesh D6!
your computer is possessed!
we can always excorsize it sometime…
I hope Olbermann has somebody watching his back. If he doesn’t watch out, he’s gonna be sharing a kennel in Gitmo with Michael Moore.
I didn’t get to work my letters and other writings and physical work work done just me and my computer :slap:
Yes, I am surrounded by animal ❓ folks … cats have been pets that are “thrown away” which I halted and found homes for two and kept one or more and now i have too many AND I am always watching. :cat: :pup: :nuts: (For RATS) and whatever 😉
PJ re 22 DITTO! … A!I!V!
i like having a healthy environment for all the critters in the hood.
best move was making the koi pond in the back yard, everything that needs a drink stops by.
the blue herons stop by for lunch occasionally.
olberman is amazingly gutsy.
personally “W” and company scare the crap out of me.
i’ve seen assholes in action without anyone being able to resist them and it’s ugly.
Brian from Washington just called the Stephanie subs (Elayne Booslet and Merrill Markoe) and asked if it was OK to drink in the morning today. The young man has been consuming some Rainier Ale. :40:
Elayne just gave Maureen Dowd a verbal 🙄 .
Have a happy 4th, everybody. :cake: :cake:
I used to like Maureen Dowd, and she still occasionally comes up with something good, but I think she spent too much time hanging out with William Safire, David Brooks, and Tom Friedman.
Nice, when in mountains I had a large pond with frogs singing and the good newts around … ahhhhhhh but the wild is also not that nice to the food chain … but still to have their “calls” = :knit: weavers of :pent: :dancers:
And so, FedEx tracking shows my replacement package loaded onto the truck, just waiting to be delivered tomorrow. But where, exactly, will they deliver it? I was thinking of calling them and having them hold it there, and then calling UPS and arranging for them to pick it up from FedEx and deliver it to me. It would be worth the $10 or whatever, just to embarrass FedEx (especially if I called in the lo-cal news team, and had them video tape the whole thing, and reason behind it).
Oooo!
good idea PJ!
have to order and ship
parts and supplies in all the time.
i’m usually on a first name basis with the phone peeps.
watching the neighborhood change is stressful, the old trees coming down, huge gobs of concrete going in.
i plant stuff to counter it, clean up the hood when walking the dogs.
think we’re gonna move in the next few years.
maybe get a little more space.
Ditto Vernon, have a Merry 4th of July :alc: :cake: :peace:
If you are still there did you see … 😳 how i did not have my favorite song of youth with the correct name until from a post’r, now day before yesterday , :smack: … you being a Music Man (MM) aught to be laughing especially since I am not over “speedway” whatever … one might see why I am still :fustrate: :doh: but kinda remembers :doh: 🙄
I wish I could afford to build my earth-sheltered home. I’m hoping to be able to hold myself to a goal of breaking ground in five years. Not sure if it’ll work out, but we’ll have to see.
AND FRED, :pirate: :yippee: :cake: Merry 4th of July :yippee:
:alc: whatever Cheers even :joe: 😉 … … A!I!V!
(my computer says no tooo much and everytime you post I try to respond BUT … The Computer Says No :no: … I think the computer is coping it’s owners “arrogant attitude”) 🙄
ya, my friend builds domes and berms them over.
amazing places, cool in the summer and warm in the winter, just about stormproof too.
I am sorry PJ re 30 but,
:rofl2: :rofl2: :nod: :rofl2: :rofl2:
Kristapea, jumped off the roof into any pools lately. Sounds soooo 8)
I used to own a dome house here in Phx. Concrete, built in 1950. Great place except a bank wouldn’t finance it.
I was feeding my no=longer=strays and I heard the Brian or whomever on The Women but I missed PETA Guy, having come in as he was leaving. Anything new I wouldn’t know of.?.. I did hear even no kill locations still kill :omg: :growl: :pup: :pirate:

druid:
isn’t your computer relatively new? do you have “protection” teehee?
are you sure that there’s nothing inside the cover that’s not making a good connection? remember when it was making ghostly noises, i said i’d had a problem once with a board / card / drive… whatever that wasn’t fully shoved into place to make a good, solid, lasting connection.
Yeah, I really like the earth sheltered domes.
“I used to own a dome house here in Phx. ”
what was it like?
roxieseattle ROXIE :yippee:
yeh, taking the “hood” off :rofl2: sorry :rofl2:
…it is hard to get pass that … :rofl2: … i will write in a sec if the computer lets me …
okay, (giggle) better … :rofl2:
I did not take “the cover off” but checked and rechecked connections … I forgot (DENIAL) to take off top But tested connections and dusted = the logic part ,,, = Boo … 😮 😯 …alright I will look at but it seems to be working … and that is when I am afraid to move … but thx Roxie :love: it is working-ish, cuz I still can’t get into Sederville … so still can’t sign off but was able to post on Thom’s AAR site … 🙄 whatever … and now here, i think, cuz I wasn’t able to 🙄 but it is (kinda) working :yippee:
PJ and SJ , cool re earth dome home. We thought of something like that, but we ended up making from recycled wood, one room room and beautiful, mostly window home, which i designed. Not energy-wise cuz door always open for wolves to come in and out. And winter I/we had heavy curtains which were always open since THE VIEW, LOOKED BEAUTIFUL and happily FROZE when moon passed by. Awww …A!I!V! :pirate: C-Ya *Poof)
PJ you will do :nod: , Everything you seem to say, you do. When you drink your beer, that only PROVES IT! 😉
did a set of 6 ft. bronze faced hobbit hole doors once for one.
what a cool house that was, built in to a small hill and open on two sides. beauty porches!
It was a 1000 sq ft concrete dome, hand made. I loved living in a curved space. It was comforting, especially with the cloud murals all around. The inside had been conventionalized with square rooms and a ceiling but we kicked out the wall between the kitchen and living room and had intended to kick out part of the ceiling so we could get some more of the curve. But it has recently been sold to an architect who was very hot to acquire it. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with it.

Happy 4th everyone. My server was down most of the day, and it just wiped out a nice long entry I was trying to post, so I’m going to cross my fingers and hope that this can be posted.
I need to go home and watch the News Hour anyway, to see if Chimpy freed any more treasonists today.

Inconvenient bust? Al Gore’s son arrested for drug possession
The son of former Vice President Al Gore has been arrested in California in possession of marijuana and other controlled substances, according to breaking news reports. Al Gore III was sentenced to a substance abuse program in 2004 after a previous marijuana-related arrest.

=======================
I can only imagine what the Reich’s media will do with this 😮 :rant1:
The day before Senate Watergate Committee minority counsel Fred Thompson made the inquiry that launched him into the national spotlight — asking an aide to President Nixon whether there was a White House taping system — he telephoned Nixon’s lawyer.
Thompson tipped off the White House that the committee knew about the taping system and would be making the information public. In his all-but-forgotten Watergate memoir, “At That Point in Time,” Thompson said he acted with “no authority” in divulging the committee’s knowledge of the tapes, which provided the evidence that led to Nixon’s resignation. It was one of many Thompson leaks to the Nixon team, according to a former investigator for Democrats on the committee, Scott Armstrong , who remains upset at Thompson’s actions.

Happy 4th, everyone. It’s started to pour on Long Island meaning my dogs will have one of those wonderful 4th’s without the fireworks. Emily the Lionhearted will not have to find a closet to crawl into.
hey everyone…
BBQ got moved to my house and everyone just cleared out…because our fireworksd were rained out.
So tired…
for once you guys get all the rain!
high eighties here, prolly ninety in the sun.
not many fireworks yet but 3 hrs til sundown/dark.
i’ll be guarding my roof & the dogs tonight.
and :forty: of course.
😳 i meant :40:
Well, unfortunately, we do not have enough rain to cancel the goddam fireworks and Siggy is still flipping out :billcat:
It seems like all the goddam boom-booms have been going on for hours between the fireworks and firecrackers. People are just fucking nuts :slap:
What is it about people that makes them take pleasure in making loud noise and blowing shit up? I have truly come to despise the 4th of July, especially in the last 6 years.
I do not feel there is anything to celebrate about this country any more.
I wish Siggy would stop panting so hard. He’s just shaking the whole bed so hard that I can barely read the screen of my laptop. I’ll have to move to another room. Have I said yet how much I HATE people blowing shit up??? :fustrate: :rant1: :reaper:
I think PJ took some melatonin with his home brew, so he’s out like a light and I’m stuck with a very nervous, very big, very smelly dog who just won’t calm down. :billcat:
No rest for the weary. Doesn’t look like Siggy is going to calm down soon. It’s going to be a long night. 🙄
Oh, well, hope y’all had a nice 4th. :boobs:
Hey, partyin hardy keepin kool and havin frozen drinks! :bong: :alc:
kristapea:
no more roof diving for you tonight… :no: :no: :no:

:dancers: :spank: :dancers:
Wow! I got a great view of fireworks from the roof. Pool, fireworks, frozen blue drinks! I’m set! :yippee:
kristapea #63 please…
though i must admit you’re not slurring your posts.
lots of fireworks around here too. neighborhood kids. i have no desire to see a major show???
I’d have to be pretty drunk to dive of the roof. it’s at the shallow end.
damn! i’m with whomever was posting earlier about why people really like to blow things up.
i actually don’t mind the booms and cracks so much as the whistles. they set off one of those series of really loud whistlers that go up and squiggle while they climb. i don’t think i should have to wear earplugs in my own yard to avaoid permanent hearing damage. but that’s just me, apparently.
they have to stop at midnight i think or the squadcars start cruising around. i guess me and the dogs will survive til then.
these people have way too much disposable income.
I’ve been lucky, my dogs have never been freightened of fireworks or thunder.
Don’t know if anyone is still there … but nice firecrackers
I liked until animals didn’t … but still like seeing … A!I!V!
Someone say sumphin about whistles?
I just drove over the Bay Bridge (three bridges in one day) during the big official fireworks display but I was most amazed by how many illegal fireworks I could see going off in all directions. Now that I am home, I can still here lots of the from my window. Now a freaking hillside is on fire.
Great day though. Very hot day in Marin and I was standing out in the sun most of the time selling merch for my friends playing there. Then we packed up and drove over to the East Bay for another friends 76th birthday party. He’s a big part of the roots music scene so lots of musicians and lefties and KPFA types and live music from trad jazz to Cajun to bluegrass to conjunto and more. Even mandos! :omg: Jim would have loved it and would have been truly impressed.
A proud day for the US of A!
JOEY CHESTNUT of San Jose! 66 big ones!
:banana: :yippee: :yuck: :barf:
Even mandos!
hee! what’s this world coming to?
lovely hot sunny day today! was superb.
love ya all!
I don’t know which is “weirder” (or whatever) :omg: :billcat: tea please…
But Sunshine J and V and fiddlin’ and “stuff” 😮 weird cool 8) (kinda)
vernon:

oh dear,
everyone’s all played out. it’s finally cooled down here, so i’m getting my second wind.
later, gators.
roxie, I will try to track down that Air Americans but I think it is Premium. I was talking to a musician this afternoon about how AAR was much more cultural at its inception and it was ironic that it started to change after a record ‘mogul’ :barf: took the helm.
The party was Chris’s who has this label, 47 years old in November.
I thought I was alone…sniff…but I like the mid-night …maybe someone is on other one or maybe I should go to work :omg:
:doh: A!I!V! … pink and black 😉
Anyone? Anyone? Roxie whatcha doing?
