http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/flag17.gif ** Good Morning! *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif 

Happy Saturday! It's not too late to do your Mother's Day shopping for tomorrow. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The mother of a large family was explaining why she dresses her children alike, right down to the youngest baby.

"When we had just four children, I dressed them alike so we wouldn't lose any of them. *Now," she added, looking around at her brood of nine, "I dress them alike so we won't pick up any that don't belong to us." * http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tearhair.gif

A few things from the news:

Attorney General John Ashcroft announced a new student visa tracking program that would allow the INS to keep tabs on hundreds of thousands of foreign students/

Israeli tanks wait at the Gaza border. There seems to be some indecision.

The accused mailbox bomber has been returned to Iowa to stand trial.

The Arab boycott of U.S. goods is gaining momentum.

Spend some time with us today discussing political issues and the events of the last week. The coffee's always on. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Words of Wisdom: "We oppose the skin trade, and of course we oppose Third World parents selling their children into slavery. So where is the outrage when the Saudis and Saddam reward Palestinian families whose children commit homicidal suicide? Is it more acceptable to sell one's daughter into suicide than into slavery?" ~~ R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. *~~ *

Here it is late at night and I sit in front of my screen, listening to Chopin's Nocturne ... ahhh I wind down from a long day ... beautiful piano music softly playing ... all is good.

Good night everyone, have a nice day tomorrow. I'll be asleep when you are rushing around on your Saturday pursuits.

HI Terri and Aknauta...Happy Saturday!

Here's the latest news I've heard....it falls under the "CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?".....

Eleven ILlegals died trying to cross over the Arizona desert into the US. *Now their families are suing the US because we didn't have "watering" stations for them which contributed to their deaths! * I KID YOU NOT!!!!!! *The attorney was on O'Reilly last night and O'Reilly said that if he had anything to do with it...he'd put up the watering stations because no one should have to live (or die) like that! *http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/teeth2.gif http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif *It was at this point that I said "I just may not EVER listen to O'Reilly again". *I've heard alot of people complaining about how he's gotten so pompous and full of himself. *I'd now have to agree that he's certainly lost touch with reality. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif

ABERFOYLE....I wondered about that Weight Watchers ONLINE too, so I went hunting and found it here: *http://www.weightwatchers.c om/adgate/default.asp *I've never done WW because I don't care for their "weigh ins" and "counseling", so maybe this is a good alternative to that. *I'm on Seattle Sutton's diet and have lost 10 pounds. *IMO, it's a MUCH easier and pleasant diet. *All the food is fresh and really, it's VERY VERY good. *I would highly recommend it if it's in your area. *I am going to check this WW Online though....it sounds interesting.

I'll check back in later. *I'm hoping to get outside and finish up some weeding before it rains again. *Yesterday was beautiful here and I spent almost the whole afternoon in the "weeder's crouch". *I'm paying BIG TIME for it today. *My back is screaming "ENOUGH ALREADY"! *LOL

OH ABERFOYLE...one more thing.....

I watched the Senators v. Maple Leafs game last night. *I was so outraged at that non-call with two minutes left when that idiot back slammed the guy into the wall. *Toronto has EVERY RIGHT, in fact IMO a responsibility, to be screaming about the HORRIBLE refereeing in this series. *That Alfredsson goal was directly attributable to the referees being completely blind, deaf and dumb. *I hope the "powers that be" review that whole play and nail the referees by the seat of their pants to the Jumbotron in the stadium. *No excuse, whatsoever.......

Morning guys. Saber, I saw that article, too, about the illegals suing over not having water left in the desert. What a lot of idiocy!

WW online is actually pretty cool. I'd done weight watchers before, years ago, but hated the meetings (I don't need a lot of feel good stuff or nutrition education). About 7 years ago I lost 20 pounds using a software program that kept track of what I was eating, the calories, and the proportions of carbs to fat to protien. It was great for me because I was really keeping track, but I didn't have to do a lot of calculation. I haven't been able to get the program to work again, so I checked out WW Online. It's &#3614/month, and you don't have to attend the meetings. It uses a journal program so you can keep track of what you're eating. I find that it's easiest for me if I log in frequently to enter what I've eaten. There are other sites that offer similar programs without the cost, but I didn't find that they worked as well. Fitday.com is one.

Good Morning http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sunflower.gif Terri, Aknauta & http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/gopusa.gif

Terri ~ I decided on the MVC-2000 for two reasons, "money & money". http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif *It only has 6x zoom but was a lot cheaper than the next model up. *And for what I do (play around and take "fuzzy" pictures) http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I figured it would do me. *The mini disk is great. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/twothumbsup.gif

Aknauta ~ Chopin is my "all time fav" classical guy. *My childhood dream was to be able to play Polonaise in A flat major. *Har! Har! *I did finally master the "Minute Waltz". http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif *Seriously, I must have every record, tape, and CD of Chopin music. *Mozart is great too. *Then there is Strauss ~ his music has such a calming effect. *Sometimes I pop a CD into the computer and listen while I'm posting ~ I'm listening to "The Blue Danube" right now. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nopityA.gif

I'll be a little scarce today ~ lots of "domestic engineering" :turquoiserolleyes: to catch up on and have to help Mr. Rim install a new AC unit in the bedroom. *I'm what the construction workers refer to as "the dead man". http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif *I've been doin' it for many years.

Have a great day all!

Did you fish yesterday?

Saber, I guess I've come to the point where I can believe anything. Why don't we just send a fleet of limousines to the border to pick them up? :turquoiserolleyes: I've been listening less to O'Reilley lately. I'm tired of his agendas. So far, I've heard 2 minutes of his radio show. It's on here at 9pm and by then I'm ready for soothing music.

Sue Elise, I'm going to check out the online Weight Watchers too. I didn't realize they had it. We will be a bunch of sleek chicks if we all join up, or is that sleek conservababes? :o *

Aberfoyle, I'm not sure what's with the NHL refs these days. There have been some horrendous calls in the Avalanche games too and not all of them went against us. We are 2/2 now with the Sharks and play at home this afternoon. I know the game moves fast but if it's directly in front of them you have to wonder if their eyes are open! http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smash.gif

RIM, the camera you bought is an excellent camera. I'm always moaning about zooms because I like to take photos of wildlife which seldom turn out. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif I know about the "dead man". I've been playing that role all my life, first with my father and since with hubby. Get this, fetch that, hold this, etc. etc. etc. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif *Guess it's all right though, we accomplished a lot of things.

Classical is really nice. I like my CDs that also incorporate sounds of nature with classical. Music is essential.

Speaking of which, all the country music lovers should check out the thread Angelus started in Rants. Hope this one goes on and on. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I haven't turned on "the box" yet this morning. Honestly, they have their guns back and are staying in a luxury hotel? I did hear they were at someplace called the "Flamingo".....b ut they are FREE.....WITH guns? Who's to blame for this decision? I cannot believe it would be Sharon....unless of course he was "pressured"..... ..

Terri

05-11-2002, 09:25 AM

That's what Fox said. Some of them are in Cyprus and some were elsewhere but they are all free men for all practical purposes. I suppose they won't be allowed to return to Palestine or Israel if they can prevent it. I couldn't find it on the Fox site.

Terri

05-11-2002, 10:10 AM

Forsberg should be playing. He's the one making the difference for us although some of the younger guys are coming on well in the playoffs too. Roy has had some bad games and some awesome games. There is no better goalie when he's on.

I found part of the Fox story on Debka and posted it in War on Terror.

Aberfoyle

05-11-2002, 10:11 AM

Well, it's only 10 a.m. and already we're on page two of the Precinct! NEATO!!! I'm about to jump into the shower and then run to the store for a few things before I'm picked up to be taken to my daughter's house for Mother's Day. She's about an hour and 15 minutes away. She used to live in Thunder Bay which was 20 hours drive if you didn't stop for the night and so this is such a treat to have her closer now.

Sue Elise, that is so neat to have Weight Watcher's online. I have the point counter already from my last stint with WW when I did very well but I just can't stand the meetings.

Yes, Saber, that was a nail biter game. I was talking to Terri at the time on IM and I was doing my running job here back and forth to the TV and the Computer and what a disappointment when that call wasn't called that should have been. Then I have to tell myself, "Settle down, this is just hockey!"

RIM, don't work too hard today.

Aknauta, I like Chopin too. One of my favorites is Chopin although I love Grieg as well. Seems my husband was in some way related to Grieg and so we have a lot of his works here.

Must go get some w--k done around here.

Primrose, I enjoyed my Chopin, it was a break from my favorites, the Three Immortals, Bach, Beethovan and Mozart. Beethovan is my favorite but a little energetic for sleepy times. Vivaldi is wonderful too.
Dead man, what an appellation, I prefer "partner" :smile:

Hi Terri, no fishing up here yet. The rivers just broke up and there are still ice flows coming downstream plus the rivers are all bank-to-bank high and muddy, bad time for fishing. Real fishing won't start till June up here and then doesn't get real good until Aug-Sept.

Saber, what is this Metallica thingy? Is this some sort of golf club? http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif You know that those terrorists who are in those hotels will be back in Palestine in less than 24 hours.

That ambulance thing is scary. Why do I feel like saying to thhoe responsible "Here's Your Sign"? Anyway . .
Has anyone heard the song "Crucify My Love" by a group called X Japan? They're a Japanese group, but the song is in English. I like it, it's a good ballad.
If anyone even knows what I'm talking about, let me know (but I doubt it). Of course, you can find it on Audio Galaxy or some other download site.

Terri

05-11-2002, 01:56 PM

Angelus, I never heard of it before but I have it playing right now. I found the download and the lyrics on this site (http://xirculo.com/ram.html)
It's beautiful.

You'd be afraid to get in the second ambulance that came to rescue you from the first. :shocked: *Yes, I think they do need their Stupid sign. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mdr11.gif

Aknauta, that would normally be the case here on the rivers but they are very low. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif *In the winter here the guys tend to fish the big lakes that don't freeze up. They sure are glad in normal years when the water goes down and they can get back on the gold medal waters.

I just found an interesting BBC article about Christian Zionists. I guess that's us, folks. At least according to the BBC. I'll post it in the War on Terror. :o

About what I will be doing on Mother's Day:f_rose: first I will call my mom--Sundays are very busy for us with my husband being pastor and he doesn't like to go out to eat on Sundays because it takes away from study time in the afternoon before our evening service--PLUS every single restaurant in our town will be PACKED CITY!(I talk without taking a breath also--tee hee) *I don't enjoy crowded restaurants at all. *I'll throw some chicken in the crock (that's not really work) and we may go out after church Sunday p.m. *I'm just happy, happy to have all my children home and safe and healthy. *That's the best Mother's Day present I could ever get. *It makes me very empathetic for those who have sick children or children in the hospital like Mona Cheron. *Hope he is improving.

Sounds like RIM and I have the same two middle names.:mdr11:

Angelus--sorry, if it's not classical music---I don't know it.:confused: *Although, I will admit to listening to some soundtracks from movies and pretty much they are classical also. Right now I am listening to "Somewhere in Time." *My sons like the old barbershop quartet music.

I'm glad your daughter lives closer to you now, Aberfoyle. *My mom and dad are 20 hours away. *That makes it hard to be so far away especially on holidays.

05-11-2002, 07:24 PM

lpara, I have a suggestion for you to try. IT is contemporary symphonic works. One is "The Divine Comedy" by Robert W. Smith (4 movements to is), and other is "Into the Storm" by the same composer. Also, check out "Invictus" and "Summer Dances" by Brian Balmages. These songs are really good if you want some power symphonic works. They don't fit the classical genre simply because of the fact the composers are living (and some of the chord structures are more Romantic period influenced, too).

lpara

05-11-2002, 08:17 PM

Thanks Angelus,:smile::smil e: I printed your suggestions and will look them up the next time I go to circuit city or b & n. *I bet my sons would really like them. *They like John Williams, etc. and I like Carl Jenkins (diamond music) and he's kind of contemporary, sorta-kinda.:smile: *
P.S.--I read your latest post in Education outloud to my husband. *We both appreciated it very much.:biggrinking:

angelus

05-11-2002, 09:00 PM

Glad you liked it. I'm not sure how well you'll be able to find Brian Balmages. He is new (he's about 23 years old or so) and only has a few songs composed. But, we played some last year at Morehead, so that's how I know him. I do know that you can find him on Audiogalaxy (there appear to be no copyright restrictions by him or anything, so long as you don't call it your own composition).

angelus

05-11-2002, 09:55 PM

I just want to say to everyone, in case I'm not on tomorrow, happy Mother's day! I'll be taking my mom out to eat, and give her a nice glass angel sculpture (about 10 inches high). And no, she won't find out on here, she does well to turn on a computer, so I doubt she'll find her way into this site. But if she does ever figure it out (I have taught her 20 times how to use the Internet, and it's slowly sinking in), I'll be sure to have her sign up.

lpara

05-11-2002, 10:43 PM

Angelus--I'll be the first to say thanks for the MD wishes--I found Brian Balmages on a website--www.fjhmusic.com (I just typed in Brian Balmages in Google) and this website has all his albums and a way to hear them. *He looks like a nice clean-cut guy.:biggrin:

Aberfoyle, good to hear that you had a nice day with your daughter. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
