Bye Mommybrain - good travels!
Thanks for the new thread, Teddy. Sounds like quite a brunch.
Thanks Suzanne. Will do.
I’ll also find out if FDL is banned in the PRC.
Mommybrain @ 6

powwow500 @ 12
Someone here said it earlier:
It’s “Take out the trash” week *g*
Mommybrain @ 5
Have a safe trip, we will be waiting for your tales of the trip. First time??
Mommybrain @ 5
Happy Trails MB - the current New Yorker has a Great Wall of China piece you’d appreciate.
Mommybrain @ 15
Bon Voyage, Ma’am!!! That ought to be interesting!!!
I predict the Friday News Dump will be Thursday Nite News Dump this week because of the Memorial Day weekend - lots of folks get an early start on the holiday weekend.
lolo, yes, it’s my first. Have you been?
Well I think I should get some sleep. See ya tomorrow. Thanks for the company and the great discussion.
Suzanne @ 21
Gonzo Gone, screams the Fri. morn headlines, ah, to dream…
CTuttle @ 10
1 out of 2 tries. How many did you get today CT?
My week contains my first ever surgery. That has me nervous, despite it being a daignostic(possibly operational) laparoscopy.
I’ll be hanging out more often in the time off i’ll have. Too bad it’s on wednsday, i’ll watch the fallout from Goodling’s talk with the HJC a day or two later. If not that evening, knowning me. I’m too stubborn to stay down for too long, even with the good drugs for painkillers. Which makes me a downright lousy patient when it comes to long term healing, being so active mentally.
g’nite TB - pain free sleep wishes
newspaperbrat @ 19
Hi NPB. didn’t see you come in. chat tomorrow.
TexBetsy @ 23
Evening, TB!!! *g*
Sweet Dreams Betsy!

Zero of Zero, IIRC, I have 3 in all, a mere good days ‘work’ for Ya!!!
sweet dreams TB
alias, good luck, we’ll be thinking of ya.
feel free to look for us at late nite : )
I am interested if FDL is banned in the PRC.
I’ve never been banned before. Except of course, during my teenage years.

Mommybrain @ 22
No I have never been. Have a good time and check in and let us know how your little one does on the flight.
Suzanne @ 32
Amen, Alias, my Fingers and Toes are crossed for you!!!
Thanks TB!
I’m aware it’s a routine procedure, but it still doesn’t abate the nerves i have for it being my first ever surgery.
TribeScribe, i’m one of the more recent regulars to turn up here. *grins* I’ll want to be around for the snark to laugh at and with. It’s what makes the lake so much fun for me. Snark and a great sense of community with all of us.
Mommybrain @ 6
China? I’m envious. Have fun.
Nighty night Betsy.

China? What is it?
It’s a type of porcelain used for table service, but that’s not important right now.
Ba-dump!
We’re here all week, try the chicken. And don;t forget to tip your server!.
TexBetsy @ 38
Illegal war, illegal surveillance, trashing the Justice Department, all that’s OK. But threaten to make more Mexicans legal citizens? That’s worthy of impeachment in Freeperland!
Evening Mr. Audio.
Hey, Suz.
lolo @ 18
Wow! Have a great trip.
Here’s the youtube I tried and failed to put on the frontpage. Long-ago goodness: Jane on Countdown!

The Lake has been a salve.
People keep it real here (and real clever) and it is appreciated.
I had a friend who used to say that Lakes have healing properties…
now I’ve come to find that holds true even for the virtual kind *g*
How’s the southland tonight, SteveA?
TeddySanFran @ 51
OMG thank you, Teddy. someone was just asking about this the other day (or was it night).
TeddySanFran @ 51
Very cool!!
Suz:
Nice day, not too hot yet, went out with Mrs. A and bought flowers for the garden and front yard.
And saw Georgia Ruls.
Teddy, you could just do it as a link in your post since the utube is being cranky about being posted.
Turd Blossom is such a Pox on Americana!!! Any other four words could have blurted out!!! What a mere figment of a man!!! Despicable!!!
Hey, Teddy, Suzanne, there’s a great program called TubeSock, used to be Mac only, now also for PC, lets you download and SAVE any YouTube or DailyMotion flash video file.
Steve, will it make my dialup download faster?
Suzanne @ 59
Um, no, not really.
I’m downloading the video even as we speak.
Hi, Teddy!
brb, folks
Alias, best wishes on Wednesday. You’re a tough one, but be sure to rest well. Even for a minor procedure. If you don’t let it heal properly, it will take twice as long. No moving furniture!
dayam, thanks steve. was a good try :)
Cujo359 @ 47
Doesn’t it just ooze with crass hypocrisy!!! Seriously distorted priorities!!!
CT, from your question downthread - Honolulu only - December, 1976.
Kirk, and from our downthread conversation, I was among the more presentable “pigs” :)
Monday and Tuesday aren’t going to be good days for “the Man”. My gut feeling is that there will be a no confidence vote in the [tech] market as well as in the Senate. I’ll be suprised if the Naz doesn’t shed 2% by Wednesday. Not that there won’t be a delicious rally later in June. It won’t help BusChen though. September starts out poorly and doesn’t get better till after the election. The Man is going down.
TeddySanFran @ 51
Right on, Teddy! Thanks for that gem!!!
I don’t think this is going to be a good week for anyone. The market is wonky. DOJ is tottering. Since it is a short work week before the holiday, everyone is gonna wanna dump their bad news this week. Memorial Day is the traditional start of the summer season so when everyone comes back next week, they hope for it being old news.
I’m gonna buckle up my seatbelt and grab some popcorn.
Hiya, pups!
Most gorgeous weekend in a year finishing up. 10:30 with the sun down here but still shining on the mountains to the north and east. Worked outside all day, except when a seal broke on our washing machine, causing a small flood in the laundry room, which crept into my studio.
Then back to garden work - tilling, transplanting rhubarb, onion sets, harvesting bok choi. Escaping from the Turd Reich for a day!
Why this Justice Department Scandals matters:

Suzanne @ 70
Don’t forget, Monica Goodling on Wednesday!
Wednesday is also the no confidence vote iirc.
LooHoo’s link has the NYTimes saying Karl Rove has his fingers all over the shredding of DOJ’s integrity.
(waving to ET) how was your concert last night?
Suzanne @ 74
What would KKKarl Rove know about justice, anyway?
Just how to pervert it.
Pretty quiet on the Late Late Nite front.
I’m going to bed. ‘Nite, all.

Will the Speaker let the House vote on no-con-Gonzo before the recess for the Memorial Day work period?
nite, neuro!
Loo Hoo. @ 72
thanks for the linky!
Suzanne @ 66
Thanks, The state has about a 1.4 Mil. population, with 1 Mil. living on Oahu alone!!! In land size, Oahu is third, in other words, a lot of *ssholes piled atop one another in a finite amount of land!!! You wouldn’t believe the sheer amount of growth since ‘76, all those canefields are now subdivisions and gated communities interspersed with large Malls!!!
Suzanne @ 67
Never doubted it!
I came along at the end of the 80’s protests over Central America (in Santa Barbara). Very civil on all sides.
The “pig” rhetoric really bothered me when I first heard it years later - still does.
Of course, I don’t believe in going limp when I’m arrested for CD. Why should I hurt someone else’s back ’cause I want to make a political statement? And if I’m going out for arrest-level civil disobedience, why should I be rude to someone because they obliged my decision to be arrested?
I’ve never been much for ideology, I guess.
I agree, Kirk. I always treated folks the way they treated me. As my oldest girl can attest, I was fond of saying, “we can do things the easy way or we can do ‘em the hard way - choice is yours.”
Ed*ard Teller @ 71
Ooh, Rhubarb sauce and Pie!!! Yum-Yum!!! Evening, ET!!!
Goodnight, neurophius. Happy dreams!
Nite all — my muse beckons : )
I was hoping somebody would comment about the term Turd Reich. I may have just made it up, ’cause I’ve never seen it before, but somebody probably has said it somewhere.
It is a good one, ET. I’m dog-tired tonight - should have noticed it because it is good - sorry.
I love rhubarb pie.
My daughter’s having a party outside and a kid just back from Iraq is here. His theory is that all would be well if the Iraqis drank alchohol.
Help us.

I believe they moved it up for Monday, I had read it somewhere, Reid wants action now!!! IIRC, TPM mentioned it!!!
Holy crap, there are some unhinged wingnuts over the immigration legislation. Lying us into war is okay, hundreds of thousands dead is okay, over three thousand Americans dead is okay. Brown people are NOT okay. Bizarro world…
Ed*ard Teller @ 86
Kudos kid! I noted it immediately with glee.
CT, you may well be right. I was offline all day and only skimmed through the lake’s front page before heading backstage tonight.
Striking while the iron is hot? While Comey’s testimony is still fresh in everyone’s mind? On the other hand, before Monica?

We’ve been growing rhubarb forever, but last year is the first one when we seriously harvested all of it - pies, cobblers, chutney, ice cream (with raspberries). This year, if the jalapenas don’t get trashed by aphids, we’ll try rhubarb salsa.
The rhubarb I transplanted is a different kind from our main stash, much sweeter, but smaller stalks. The place it was growing didn’t work, so now it gets sun and heat next to some big granite rocks.
ET, do you mind an Alaska question?
Oh, for some real rhubarb. SoCal rhubarb just doesn’t have the flavor. It must need a good freeze.
I’m sorry TRex, I do believe in “aliens.” I was abducted for three days and went to Venus…

From something I have wondered ever since I heard of “The Land of the Midnight Sun” - since the short days of sunlight can cause some to suffer from seasonal affective disorder - does the midnight sun also cause problems, say disrupting the sleep cycle?
Suzanne @ 93
Hey you! Help yourself to some late night Double Rainbow French Vanilla ice cream.
There are certain rhetorical tricks that I’ve come to associate with wingnuts:
* exaggerated indignation over trivia.
* attributing repugnant motivations and feelings to those who disagree with them.
* attempting to associate evil with everyday words, e.g., “taxation is robbery” and “abortion is murder.”
If I understood the previous post correctly, Laura Flanders indulged in all three of those tactics relative to Lou Dobbs.
CTuttle @ 98
FOFLMAO !
npb, thanks - the perfect accompaniment to my Nilla Wafers.
ET@95, Ooh, rhubarb salsa, a veritable panolopy of taste sensations; Tartness, sweetness, and Heat!!! Sounds delish!!!
Wigwam @ 107
She pushed his buttons for sure - very effectively. Lou does not like it when it is dished out his way instead of him dishing it out his way.
John Amato @ 98
In 1968 I met a guy - Don Hamrick - who claimed to have been abducted by Saturnians. Before the abduction he was a Methodist minister in Portland, OR. Afterward, he filed patents on the pivot pin for swing-wing supersonic aircraft, the key to the process for manufacture of boron process rotary wing aircraft propellers, and for a thermocouple which responded to temperature differences of a tenth of a degree F. Changed his life. How about yours?
Suzanne @ 105
On top of that, you have the ‘NoonDay Moon’ in the dead of winter!!!

Alias, I’ll be thinking of you that day. Have been wondering about the date of your surgery. Even though it’s not a big scary surgery, it’s ON YOU so of course it’s scary.
The being active mentally is great distraction from pain. Look forward to hearing how it all went. ;)
John Amato @ 98
Ooh, C&L’er taking a midnight dip in the Lake!!! Awesome!!! Aloha!!!

Depends on what the recommended changes are because I sure as hell don’t trust this administration to do the right thing for any of the right reasons.

Suzanne @ 105
Well, it won’t be dark here again until the first week of August. I respond to SAD more every winter, but your question makes me wonder if I respond more to summer in some ways every year.
Probably not, because you have to be a bit younger to fully take advantage of Summer up here. My first four summers in Alaska I fished commercially from May through September. Most work days were between ten and 20 or more hours long, was extremely exhausting, and we loved it. So we didn’t think about the sleep cycle.
My wife has always insisted on thick curtains or blinds on our bedroom for summer, because she needs darkness to sleep soundly. Friends and relatives who have come up in the summer are sometimes bothered when it comes time to go to sleep, but we usually pack their days with so much stuff, they’
