May the 4’s be with you
Dang it! I was going to say hi to kansas, but it looks like I’ve missed her.
(stewing) And I’m on a working computer and everything!
I’m here, I’m here! I was shocked to come back and find the other cafe so crowded. Sheesh, you leave ’em alone for an hour and they tear up the place! Looks like they had a good time, though.
I see Ductape has a great new diary crossposted at your place.
I’m here too!! I can’t wait till I get my life back. I want my computer back!
katiebird, I’ve been meaning to mention that the picture on your new website is very cool. I think it’s interesting that while red is usually a color that isn’t usually soothing for some reason the red and the red leaves are very peaceful and soothing to me while really popping out and you…a perfect combination. Did you spend a lot of time deciding what to use for your picture layout?
I think kb has gone walkabout again so I’ll answer for here. The picture came with what they call a “theme” which is a set of files that give the blog a particular set of features. kb was going to substitute another picture but she liked the one that came with the theme so much that she decided to keep it.
Did you try my link tutorial yet?
I just moved desktop clutter into my My Documents folder because we’re going to destroy my C drive.
It turns out I have 2 gigabytes in that folder and it swamped the PC while I was moving it. I couldn’t do a thing.
(stewing some more) Now, I’ve got to go through those files to see what the heck is taking that much space!
Now where’s kansas?
The walkabout is because you keep showing up for a message or so and then disappearing.
Here! I keep checking in, then out to do other stuff.
Hi!! Did you see my dKos diary — it’s got some nice comments.
I hope you didn’t put the sidebar file in place because if you did it didn’t work.
I was wondered something — can I edit the files on eat4today directly or do I not have write permission?
No, there’s a weird security thing. The permissions have to be changed to (something, I don’t remember) then you can edit, then your supposed to change them back (or the software trashes the files). That all sounded too dangerous to me, so I do the FTP thing.
Did you send me the sidebar file? I didn’t see it.
I sent it to you yesterday. I just sent it again.
email
yes I did and wohoo, did a link there as practice and thanked you very much for making the gibberish clear to me. Which I will now demonstrate my slowly inching toward computer literacy here by linking again to the daily click for free books for poor kids and communities in this country.
Literacy Site
You’ve got a typo in the link.
htpp://www.theliteracysite.com
should be
http://www.theliteracysite.com
ha…that’s what I get for trying to show off my new found skills..
Hey, it was just a little typo and everything else was perfect. If you don’t try again, I’ll be very disappointed.
This looks like a great site. When I have more time, I am going to check it out more closely.
Thanks chocolate ink — I see that Andi answered. It’s nice and very tempting to keep. But, I do want something unique to us sometime. So, I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s actually been worrying me.
All I did was ask to see Andi’s dogs and the next thing I knew, I came back and there were cats and birds and who knows what else. They were all cute though — except the chicken things.
you can always imagine how nice they’d look fried with a side of mashed potatotes.
Don’t let CabinGirl hear you. Although if she’s raising them for food (even just eggs) and not as pets I will cease worrying about her.
Yeah, and when I tell you about how my new-ish chickens are the kind that lay blue-green eggs…that’ll really set your mind at ease. 🙂
Really? Ready-dyed easter eggs?
:::sniff:::
I hope these chickens don’t have the flu.
OK — I was going to post this at the other cafe as a thank you for all the puppies. But we were kicked out so suddenly. Here it is:
Sorry I don’t have a book of poetry about Kitties, I’m not really a cat person. (It’s why I don’t visit Atrios except for quickies). And I definitely have no chicken poetry.
For kitties, there’s always TS Eliot 🙂
As for chickens, I distinctly remember the Gary Snyder poem ‘Song of the Taste’, in which he pays homage to chickens:
How could I forget Old Possum?
(No wonder he likes me better.)
Chicken Poetry
It’s easy to write about a chicken
cause everything rhymes, like finger-licken.
Rhyming chick
is also quick.
You could also rhyme with “fowl,”
if you want a poem about a towel.
And don’t forget the rooster’s comb,
which rhymes, more or less,
with poem.
Hey! I managed to write an entire poem about chicken and never once resorted to rhyming with “cluck.” Prize, please.
Excellent!
But the finger-lickin’ part might upset CabinGirl.
Brava, kansas! Excellent. Your prize: please take a 4 & multiply by the number of chickens currently serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I’ve spent a little time with chickens myself. They may not be cute in the usual way (at least not the adults), but they’re definitely fascinating. And what would our national diet be without ’em?
WHOOT the guy I picked in the hocky pool SCORED!!! Nils Ekman makes the Sharks at Senators (Olivia’s neck o da woods) 2 to nothing.
Off to a dinner meeting…about who knows what…I’m just taking a notebook and money.
At least we are going to a good Indian restaurant…
Friends going with me…
Just in case this meeting irritates me like I think it will…I’m taking my friends above with me mentally. See you all in the morning….
Have some naan and palak paneer for me.
or so….after things get settled.
In the meantime…give the boss some love – We are a Small Axe
He slid a diary in rather than front paging it….
We do read the list Booman – sometimes we can’t comment on all of them!
Evening all, still grading exams. I am looking forward to the weekend when all this grading will slow down.
Good thing you came to the clean cafe — there would have been no place for you to spread out at the other one.
I purposely stayed away when I saw the line snaking its way through a velevt rope.
being “Teacher Toni” grading papers and all but don’t you think it’s time to be “Doting Mother Toni” and post a new Andrew picture?
I second that motion —
Although I’m not sure what we’re starting in THIS cafe.
I wondered off to check some papers. I do do requests, so
Ooooooh — you won’t mind if I pick him up? I won’t wake him, I promise. Just for a few minutes?
Go ahead, though careful, he likes to flop his head backwards. And, if he wakes up, he might try to look down your shirt.
That’s a really sweet picture. He looks so peaceful and happy.
Thanks for posting it.
Your welcome
He is committing Intentional Cuteness. When Teacher Toni is not looking, and sometimes when she is, he practices.
This grandma needs a baby holding fix….aaaahhh…Saturday for my friend’s baby….
He is so sweet and precious!
Did it look like the line for The David Letterman Show on the night he does Stupid Pet Tricks?
I believe she may be the bride of a Menendez brother.
I should have watched the Natlee Holloway show with your hostess Rita Crosby.
I’m not a detail-oriented guy, DTF, but I noticed the emergency from the start of the show tonight. I couldn’t bear to watch either channel. Thankfully Newshour is on the local PBS channel during this time slot.
More details for those of us who don’t have cable?
was placed underneath the hair at the crown, and then remotely detonated.
I am surprised the TerraLert level has not been raised to Orange, and the Hallmarks of Al Qaeda mantra intoned.

hahahha!
It should also be mentioned that several strands of her hair have suctioned themselves to her eyelashes and are currently bouncing up and down with each blink.
to check for a second explosive in the eyelash area.
Is there a reason she’s on — other than her hair?
may lurk in hair of brides of Menendez brothers.
It is necessary to make sacrifices and have Resolve and whenever possible, avoid marrying Menendez brothers.
No one has mentioned the unintentionally funny blurb under the screen that says this is the first ever ‘joint’ interview with her with Larry and Menendez of course from jail…either that or it’s only funny too me cause I’m watching the rerun of it at midnight here and I’m really tired…and it’s now Friday the 13th.
I’m kind of amazed also that her very skinny neck can hold up all that hair
yeah I broke my promise to never make any New Years Resolutions and vowed never to marry a Menendez…I figured that was one I would have no trouble keeping therefore making me feel good about myself for keeping my resolutions. Sort of a win/win situation all around.
Feels pretty good so far and I just might start making resolutions like this every year.
those things she has on in place of real eyelashes seem to be making her blink constantly like they are too fucken heavy..that blinking is driving me nuts.
gotta pootie or a pooch, DTF?
my personal anatomy with anyone other than Madame Fatwa.
guess I better not ask, “short-haired or long-haired, eh?? 🙂
Madame Fatwa! I have a mother?
How is the computer move coming?
Really? Madame Fatwa is 135 years old? I must say, I am impressed!
when we learn which one of the Fatwas robbed the cradle 🙂
Alas, time for all strapping wenches to find their beds for the night.
Thanks to everyone for the smiles. See you soon ..
Goodnight!
somehow I missed the word “find” in that post????
Thank you ;o)
I’m turning into a pumpkin early tonight. See you all in the morning.
Me included…but if anyone’s still awake, I’d like an answer to this question:
After the Sharks hockey game tonight, the spouse and I were listening to the Sharks home station, which plays classic rock. On the radio came “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos. Now, most people know that “Derek” was actually Eric Clapton on guitar and lead vocals, and that Duane Allman (of the Allman brothers) did slide guitar. Now, at the end of the song is this fantastic instrumental bit, with guitars, piano, and drums. Now, here’s the question — who did the piano playing? The spouse and I were both stumped, and I’m not sure where to start searching. Any unreconstructed rockers out there who might know???
Okay, off to bed with me…
on abduction of journalist Jill Carroll, see riverbend
tears
While I used to await riverbends posts, more and more I await the next one with with increasing dread at what I might read. This one is just so incredibly fucken sad. Not only for the life of her friend that was taken but for his family, what happened to his shop and the whole stinkin, rotten mess that bush has unleashed in Iraq…I hope that circle of hell bush is heading for makes him relive every families agony over there and here tenfold.
.
Is it just by chance the taxi driver escaped alive, and Alan the interpreter was killed?
“All I knew was that a journalist had been abducted and that her Iraqi interpreter had been killed. He was shot in cold blood in Al Adil district earlier this month, when they took Jill Carroll… Theysay he didn’t die immediately. It is said he lived long enough to talk to police and then he died.
He was a Christian from Basrah and he had a lovely wife who adored him- F. We would tease him about how once he was married and had a family, he’d lose interest in music. It didn’t happen. Conversations with Alan continued to revolve around Pink Floyd, Jimmy Hendrix, but they began to include F. his wife, M. his daughter and his little boy. My heart aches for his family- his wife and children… “
See my diary, there are many open questions about the ambush and abduction ::

Here’s your morning cuppa.
Why don’t you bring that coffee over here?

That froggybottom was up awfully early today… 🙂
