I have never known anybody on the hooter to be in control and there is no way the government would let us control ourselves.

Crap I am hungry - I best go cook some breakie (hmmm bacon talk has made me want some) and watch my taped episode of The Guardian (hmmm hunky aussie Simon Baker Razz )

Damn Super Bowl – it pre-empted 60 Minutes. Based on some comments, I DID fast forward to see if Janet Jackson was in that hour. I don’t see what the big (no pun) deal was. Talk about quickies. I wonder how much of an issue that was in say Australia. Again, maybe it has something to do with the colonization (notice the first 5 letters in that word) of the U.S.

I just looked up “colon”. Beside the obvious, it’s also the basic monetary unit of Costa Rica and El Salvador (you’ll thank me if that ever comes-up at a dinner party). Yuck! Imagine placing a snipe at a 100 colones (oops, always use odd amounts – make that 107.72 colones). Anyone know the monetary symbol for the colon? Anyone have the guts to post it? Anyone have the guts to even look for one? Anyone want some guts?

I've always thought Americans were a bit silly when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Here's something I haven't figured out - Why does X-rated start with "X"?    "Parental-Guidance" isn't L-E (do those letters look familiar?     I'm trying to remember who has a name that starts with an "L" and ends with an "e"? L***e? and has an "X").

I'm a bit late here, but....

I think the reason that people are quiet around golf courses is that it apparently takes a lot of concentration to hold that metal stick in just the right way and tap the ball just enough. Big Grin

The same is true of bowls and curling, although you can cheer once the bowl or curling stone has been thrown because there isn't anyone else about who is just sizing up that crucial throw.

I heard on the radio a couple of days ago that there was a (polite) bust up between two famous golf players recently because one of them moved across the other's peripheral vision just as they were about to putt. We Scots take hitting white balls so seriously..... Roll Eyes

Personally I prefer Shinty - now that's a game you can yell at!

When I was in basic training before going to Korea I went to Yucca Valley for a few days as the guest of a friend. I thought someday I might
move or go there as had been few other places.
My friend was did not return as did 89 percent of my company. For years while working In the Frozen Arctic I thought about Yucca Valley. Then
in 1957 I heard that a paper was started called the "Hi=Desert Star". I now trudge out to my mailbox in deep snow and get the STAR (5 days late)+ when I return I knock the snow off my chair and read until I get a chill. I still read how the 99 fire has left Joshua Tree National Park bare--- and other vegetation yuccas, blackbrush etc. have seen little regeneration. The fires were made possible by the proliferation of non-native plants. It may seem strange but I consider Joshua Tree "My Park" as much as Yellowstone, Glacier or Mt. McKinley. I am saddened that the Park cannot even afford a Fire Management Occicer or Plan.

The proposed Eagle Mountain Landfill endangers the Park. It will bring 20 thousand tons of garbage a day for 117 years to the area....And another group wants to build 12 golf Courses
and 7,000 homes.. Well thats the end of the tiny water supply that's clean.
So I participate in the debate as though I live in Yucca or the Morongo Basin - read the obituaries and write the editor.
At one time you would think this totaly strange and yet daily WE are corresponding all over the globe. Today I watched the Moscow subway bombing minutes after it happened like "Live from Bagdad "-as Disney said "its a small small world" For 5 years I had a Greenhouse= and love cactus but that's another story... mory

Forgot to say thanks for posting -the incredible pictures - That has to be another thing on my list - learning how to post pictures -
But forget learning how to spell - have been making the same "misteaks" forever....

Took a break and drove in the blizzard to a Chinese Buffet Restaurant - I had a spoon of 60 different items it = was really wonderful...
Only 3 people there because of the weather..I tried to help them out by eating everything.

Mory, I'll always welcome another cactus lover -- I started collecting them when I lived in Texas because I love plants but hate watering them, especially during the summer when you can water every day and STILL watch them shrivel from heat and thirst... Actually I'm more into succulents than cacti, because I love the varieties. SO many varieties!!! But you can't collect succulents without finding an awful lot of beautiful spiny ones out there. And now that I'm so far from home, my green friends grow under lights during the cold months and remind me that I WILL get back home, one of these days!

So I've found that it IS possible to grow equatorial plants in Michigan, as long as you're willing to spring for LOTS of lights and deal with somewhat leggy growth during winter...

And posting pictures is easy, now that someone showed me how.

First you have to find the URL of the picture by pointing to the picture and right-clicking, then selecting "properties" and copying the URL from the properties window. Just make sure you get the WHOLE URL, even if the whole thing isn't displayed. Triple-click on it and you should get it all, or drag from the beginning of the URL down and it should scroll.

Then go to the space where you want the picture to be placed (like in a "reply" message) and click the "image" button at the bottom of the screen. Paste the URL of the image in the script prompt window, and click OK.

And you're there!
