guaar-ron-teed to get your feet moving

g’evening pups

Suzanne!

Get your shovels out and start digging…. I will be inspecting LQQKing at them thar holes you are digging to maker sure they meet SPec!!

hey newton, ya dancing yet?

thanks nahant

Yeah, but it’s pretty hot here.
Don’t ask how I’m keeping cool…

Dam Suz your WERE just broiling today!!! Still 82 here… Hope we can get some sleep

As always my pleasure:>)

Kewl, you’re here! I hate that annoying *ding-dong* of messenger…! 8-P

Hail Muse Suz! Hey all! Man was it hot in Oakland today. After a couple hours of 98+ degree heat, the pine tree next door started making all these little little tiny creaking, popping sounds all over. We think the pine cones were opening up from the heat, like during a forest fire.

Speaking of here: Hail California Supreme Court! I guess we really have to get the frickin’ vote out in November now to avoid the homophobe State Constitution amendment, but that seems like an OK tradeoff…

Suz
will the fog hit you in the evening or are you stuck for the next four days? We don’t get fog but our nite is getting cooler. I hate to think what August is going to be like.

Aloha, stranger! Long time no see…! ;-)

i’m stuck.. i’m above the fogline. i hit 106 on my deck this afternoon. too forking hot to clean and work on the bride’s gift

and there’s that forking open house sunday and it will be obvious there is no a/c

We went to get burgers at Taxi’s … Fund raiser for scholarships for Julies school:>)

I tried, Suz, but nahant beat me to it

So I Dugg his Digg

For some reason, my computer seems to slow down trememdously when I am on FDL right about midnight CDT (10 p.m. FDL time)

Right about the time I am trying to get the first comment and/or the first Digg…

I’m serious. It doesn’t usually do that, just at the moment that LLN is posted…

good night. i hope i feel better in the morning

pain free sleep wishes for ya tex

Oh yeah turn the volume down or shut off the notification dinger:>)

Sleep well, Betsy! *g*

Must be Karma!!

karma trying to tell ya something?

i have no idea why that happens, neuro. my posts are just like all the other posts here at the lake – in fact, my posts are among the shortest of the lake’s post.

nite betsy
me, too

guess you saw the season finale of my name is earl tonight?

i need non depression and non hate wishes. having a hard night

Short and sweet, Suz! ;-)

Good night Betsy sleep the dreams of pain free children with no cares in the world:>)

Aloha, CT! I’m very sorry to have been away for so long this time… yes, it’s the pesky day job again… but I hope the Lady Pele has ben treating you & yours well recently! Looked like the trades reversed for a while there, hope it didn’t get too smoky as result.

ya got em tex. prayers too.

That will be one Root Beer Suz:>)

Sweet dreams, TexB… Glad to hear the procedure went OK!

Thats why we call her Shorty:>)

Night gang.

-G

here ya go dood

g’nite g

You can never go wrong with Ray!!

Who is the English dude at the beginning of the vid?

Well, is there anything techwise that goes on at FDL around 10 p.m. FDLT, like, I don’t know, the servers changing shifts or something?

I really have noticed this happening quite often

By the way I have Dell PC Windows 2000 Pro and am usually on IE because Firefox doesn’t like Digg

ron wood – guitarist for the stones?

I thought so.

nope. do you have your sytem set to perform spyware or virus scans around this time?

That video is HOT. Looks like they were having fun with each other.

i think that is carl perkins at the end – who appears to be the host of whatever this was…

Not that I know of, actually I don’t know what I have my system set to do when.

hey eg – welcome to spring in ca

could be you have a program running in the background, perhaps doing an update check around this time.

Yeah this weather dont scare me none. Why back in Virginia we had 101 degrees and 101 percent humidity every summer.

OMG, I’m just now watching the latest Olberman Special Comment. OMG.

The Reethungs really are (…dare I jinx it by saying it?…) toast.

Win 2000 pro?? How much Ram? But it is time you started to think about a new PC…. They sure are getting Cheaper and cheaper.
Firefox should run fine on your PC b ut if it is not very fast or not much Ram and a full disk … All will slow you down… Try Opera or Safari… You never know

i am so thankful for the low humidities here on the west coast. every family vacation back to the midwest and south would reinforce the family’s delight to live in ca.

Not too shabby here in Hilo, not as bad as it’s been before… She’s been a busy beaver tho…!

g’evening pups!

{{{ Betsy }}} if you’re still up, sending you pain-free and sparkly-clear happy thoughts *ndfg puts hand on monitor*

ndfg – have you set a date yet?

CT XP running OK for you?? And did you install sp3??

I do like Safari…! ;-)

I didn’t dare after the horror story Suz told last nite…!

She’s a little sleepier tonight. No glow.

Taking the bus home from the job tonight and there were huge crowds out in the “Lavender Heights” district of Sacto celebrating…and across the street were some fundy’s holding up a long shiny “Sodomites” banner. The Republicans will definitely try and make this an issue in the Fall elections, EVERYWHERE. Hopefully Obama’s appeal to young people and the ones who see this as a distraction and diversion to the real problems in the country will be out in greater numbers.

i looks like there is a conflict with my AMD processor and sp3 – am still researching it

my tech-savvy kids have added RAM to my PC but I don’t know how much it has, or how to find out. (I hate to keep asking them questions, they make me feel like a doofus. Which FDLers don’t do, and I appreciate that).

I do know only about 1/4 of my hard drive is used.

You are right I need a new PC like America needs a new President

But I swear this problem happens most often at 10 p.m. FDLT

Suzanne may be right I may have something going on then that I don’t know about

I like using them all, but FireFox is still my fav what with all the extras!

they already have a marriage is one man/one woman initiative set for the fall ballot is what i heard

I bet the fundies were those Russian Born Agains. They are always making trouble. Their homophobia knows no bounds. Wish they had immigrated to West VA.

It would have to be a Constitutional change, since the Supremes have spoken…!

Look in accessories/system tools and then system info… gives you all the specs of the system.

on phone with baby girl

she passed her practical and skills test… the written is 5/23 in salt lake city

Or they could be a group of Topekans straying too far from home

Funny. Ron and I are going to get a divorce so that we are indemnified against one other’s medical bills. So much for family values. geeeeeeezz.

Baby Girl!
Cool, Suz!

Thats what they are trying to get on the ballot

nursing?

Yes. I hope the people of hope and good will will turn out in large numbers to choose Obama over WAFFLES! and chase the bigoted fundies off our damn Constitution while they’re at it. This may be the year to spend vacation time on get-out-the-vote volunteering.

BTW, my messenger is all in spanish, I must’ve hit the wrong button awhile ago, any suggestions on how to change it…?

oh mary (((mary and ron)))

WooHo Suz! Pass on the kudos for a job well done:>)

EMT
she plans on eventually being a paramedic

It’s generally expected to qualify for the ballot.

its ok. I like living in sin. I have a very distorted sense of adventure.

Dam I don’t use messenger but there should be a setting in the tools area… Spanish? How the hell did you do dat?

Imagine the community we could build with all of our talented offspring.

Excellent! Tell her ‘Great Job’…!

That’s a terrible, terrible thing. I’m so sorry.

Maybe we should invade the US and install a regime more attentive to its citizens’ needs… oh wait.

That’s what I’d like to know…! ;-)

They need 650K Vailid Signatures IIRC so I guess now we wait to see if the people who signed were real people or some one just signing a lot of signatures of some one else!

we’re seriously considering an in-costume wedding at a Sci-Fi convention so are gonna have to check convention schedules *g* (mebbe next year)

she got email notification… because she gave them her email address on her application. the letters were mailed out today with the pass/fail results

oh that’s gonna be memorable, ndfg

Ok I guess I will just have to install it and see what the F you did:>) BRB

You could go as the two folks in the Gothic American painting with little Star Trek patches on your chests.

BTW, NDFG, Betsy says ‘Hi’ … 8-)

*happy dance* its finally 69 outside

my oldest kid is amused, my youngest is appalled, especially as she asked if she could be flower girl before she found out what we were planning ….

how old are they?

Makes me want to run outside necked.
Then I remember the big fat rattler that Ron killed last week and the one that bit a dog on Sunday. Scary fuckers. Up in Placerville someone found a nine foot long rattler that weighed one hundred pounds. Makes me long for the days of water moccasins and coral snakes. I am creeping myself out.

That is MSN messenger right??

Uh-oh, what were you planning…? ;-)

FORK
i gotta worry about skunks – haven’t seen a snake since i moved up here :)

Yeppers…!

see her 85 ct…

You prolly have ‘em but not like the central and eastern parts of Cali.

Thanks nahant I really do appreciate it but where do I find accessories? I am truly clueless.

Oops, I missed it, what character, NDFG?

on your start button… all programs.. accessories.. system tools

oldest is 25 (her hubby loves sci-fi conventions), the youngest aka The Pop Princess is 21

Suz! Sorry all I haven’t had time to read the comments. But, I just got the okay to say that Martin Heinrich will be back at FDL for another BA chat.

The local New Mexico blogs are being supportive of the FDL session:

~~Dem NM-01 candidate Martin Heinrich will be live blogging at the prominent national blog Firedoglake this Saturday, May 17, at Noon MDT. He’ll be highlighting the fact that George Bush himself will be visiting the District on May 27th to raise big chunks of money for Martin’s likely Repub opponent, Darren White, and the New Mexico GOP.~~

http://www.democracyfornewmexi…..ric-1.html
http://nmfbihop.com/showDiary……aryId=1033

Being the YouTube addict that I am, I just had to see if there were any youtubes of this NM Darren White guy.

And, OMFG! Suz, you just gotta gotta watch this Po-Lice performance. Put on your sunglasses! Very uh, well, use your own words. ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcxDPJ5a5oQ

Welp, I’m off to fuel up the hybrid for The Sweetie’s road trip in the morning, and get some refrigerated treats due to aforementioned frickin’ heat. Sweet dreams, all!

Aloha, Hmmm…!

hahahaha i was much cuter in my uniform that he is in that video vg

g’nite hmmm

From the main start button on the bottom left and then you will find it among all your folders of the programs that have been installed on the pc

well, da spook and i are both major fans of Bujold’s Vorkosigan series, so we’re considering that, but i’m also tempted by Star Wars altho da Spook isn’t thrilled by me wanting to wear a Chewie costume instead of Princess Leia’s dancing girl costume.

He’ll be highlighting the fact that George Bush himself will be visiting the District on May 27th to raise big chunks of money for Martin’s likely Repub opponent, Darren White, and the New Mexico GOP.

Chimpy is radioactive – what could these folks be thinking? Not that I mind…
Thanks VG!

Chewie with a tiara.

Makes me glad to live where the worst we get is skeeters and blizzards (not at the same time, natch)

CT try this but I am still LQQKing for more on the messenger window:>)

Neuro thats basically says that you have 512 MB of memory. What does it say about the processor… Clock speed and type?

YARRRRRR, I’m drinking the last of the rum and it’s waaaaaay too fucking hot in here with the AC on the blink. Window units go in Saturday. Suze, and Newtonusr, y’all keepin’ cool?

…y’all keepin’ cool?

That would be a “no.”

i hear ya.. i hit 106 on the deck this afternoon

11 fucking o’clock and it’s 90 in here…I sure hope my boss doesn’t expect much tomorrow.

down to 68 here that guy – night before last, i was in the low to mid 40’s this time of night

88 here. It’ll take another week or so until I have my heat wings.

Wings you got Wings?…. that’s just not fair… is that how you get around to all your MAC customers???

I’m watching KO late rerun

John McCain says he wants a substantial increase in veterans benefits

Let’s see, isn’t he opposed to or at least not supporting Sen. Webb’s New GI Bill?

he is opposed to it and supports the bill that cuts their benefits is how i remember it neuro.

Yeah, but I have to beware jets.
In ‘85, I moved from the Peninsula to Davis. In May.
It was a shock – I had never lived where it gets well past 100.

McBush is really earning his nickname, after Bush accuses Obama of wanting to appease terrists/Nazis, McBush refuses to disavow those remarks

Yes but what do you expect of straight Talk McPain… He has his money from the Military but our new Vets don’t deserve benefits as good as he gets…. Asswipe.. Just who the fuck does he think he is… OH yeah a Rethuglian money for them and nada for everyone else!

I am sure why thats why you are Baaccckkk …. can’t beat the Bay Area’s weather…. especially Redwood City “Voted Best by government Test…. I just love it… 72 here now and going down… sleeping should just go great:>)

For Suz and newt and all of the other heat wave folks:

Martha!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE2fnYpwrng

thanks vg

Your analysis is correct, also I would note that “He has his money from the Military”…yes…but he really has his money from his Mrs., who pays most of his bills, and who he thanks by publically calling her a…well, never mind.

There may yet be some justice.
The Senator from Arizona has no choice to run for Chimpy’s 3rd term, now that he’s so far up his butt.
If electoral prospects are any indication, McThusula will be as fucked now from cozying up to Chimpy as he was from opposing him in 2000.

Message of the day: see Bush, run like Hell. The House Goopers are late to this conclusion, but they finally got it.

try some of this vg

yeah but this is what the heat brings out eye candy

Yep. Grew up a bit north of here, where there’s some fog and it averages about 68.

i’m hopeful that many of them are too forking stupid to get it and they continue to call upon boosh and cheeney to show up and help this year

It is way too late for most. Imagine being Adam Putnam, or Jeb Hensarling – young up-and-comers in the Gooper caucus, also well up Chimpy’s ass – fucked for life now.

if they are stupid enough to hitch themselves to that liar’s coat tails without seeing him for what he really is, they are too stupid to be in charge of anything in our government.

Hiya, pups! Democrats are getting ready to kick a whole lot of elephant butt in Alaska this year!!!

Suz, I don’t think that newt’s language is appropriate for this thread.

yeah, he’s really not foul mouthed enough yanno

Fuck me, VG – you’re right!

Hey ET!

hey et – any news on the indictment front?

Now thats the kind of news I like to hear…. just music to my ears:>)

hiya, foulmouthed newt! & Vg and Suzanne. No news on the indictment front, but I’m picking another fight with Kos…

your link didn’t work.. this it?

…but I’m picking another fight with Kos…

Un, yeah.
Is Kos misreading the sample, or is it that he doesn’t know his sample?

1,844 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Edward Tellar and the early mornin’ Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Yo Brother ET, where ya been and I can’t use yer link…waz the tussle at Kos all about?

I been readin the front page over there with some frequency and frankly I like the election coverage a lot better’n MYDD or some a the other DLC consultant blogs.

KEEP THE FAITH AND REMEMBER WE’RE ALL GUNNA END UP IN THE SAME SPOT SOMEDAY!!

ET’s link has been repaired. Hard-refresh and give it a try.

…AND REMEMBER WE’RE ALL GUNNA END UP IN THE SAME SPOT SOMEDAY!!

I like this phrase very much.

thanks lurk

Hey ET! Kos is such a wanker.

no. his pollster is fine.

The point is that Kos has created an environment through his distorted characterizations of Berkowitz’s position – ie, by continually making it seem Berkowitz has no Democratic Party challenger that is credible – that is getting low information blogging lefties to doante against Young, by contributing to the image of Berkowitz he’s falsely created on the web. He didn’t appear to feel it worthy to note his contributions to Berkowitz in his diary today. He’s yet to mention Berkowitz’s current opponent in any of his Berkowitz promos.

He should have.

Yikes – did I put a bad link up there? I hate reading that right after I take the laptop back from my son’s rock bang.

1,844 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen newtonusr:

But remember we’re all gunna be comin’ from different places, I hope…

KEEP THE FAITH, THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM!!

p.s. btw that was not a random comment on my part, in the the interest of upping the ante on foul mouthiness. I got pissed off with him a long time ago. He has an agenda, and perhaps always had. Agenda: big player, big important guy. Never mind the details.

Gahd help me – I’m watching Hardball, and Tweety is skewering this McCain flack! Somebody has to have this on vid! Beautiful!

hey norske

time for me to erase all traces of my presence at the little cottage by the creek and then work on the bride’s gift again

thanks for hanging with me tonight pups. g’nite all.

Yep. Right here.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL!

nite suz

1,844 dayz and the killin’ goez on and on and…

Citizen EdwardTeller:

After readin yer post and analysis, it rings true with me considerin’ the occasional “unusual” political bias that shows up in his personal election contest postings. I know that Kos is brilliant and is also a carnivorous political animal and a very gifted “Andre Manure” of the new communications universe.

I hope ya get some face time over there ta duke it out in the open…I still like the front page postings over there, I don’t ever comment though, it ain’t worth it, the level a discourse is higher over here and if I’m gunna fight with someone I want it ta be with someone with more’n a few functionin’ brain cellz.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, WE’LL TEACH ‘EM TA SHOOT AFTER WE GET ‘EM ELECTED!~!

et – you going to write that up as a diary at dkos?

yeah, but he’s never been secretive about that. and couldn’t the same thing be said about many in the blogosphere – especially those who’s background is in political consulting?

Norske,

Glad you like PA. I’m glad to be writing about this crazy scene up here. I learn something about people every day.

selise,

I’m hoping celtic diva will do the diary on this. I’m really busy, beyond belief, even for me…

1,844 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Valley Girl:

I’ve heard those feelings about Kos before and, comin from you and ET, they ring pretty true…I still think the blog is an important one and is my startin’ point for national election politics. I use Talking Pointz Memo for my daily reporting and this spot for puttin it all tagether. I don’t think there is a more intelligent community on any other political blog…this place is like a community organizer’s workshop.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, KEEP YER PANTS DRY AND YER SHIT DETECTOR ON!!

i’ll watch for it… hoping to give it a rec.

p.s. to ET and others who may be interested. amy goodman is scheduled to have a big interview with benny morris this morning on democracy now!

i am back. emotions running to all the corners of the earth in the past few hrs. very odd.

Norske- yep, can’t disagree with you as to the importance of dKos.

And, hey Selise!

What turned the tide for me, and this was before he was a political consultant (or maybe he was, and I hadn’t figured it out) was when the results were coming in for the Paul Hackett Mean Jean election. The results from Cayuga county were uh, about as credible as… hmmm.. shit on a pizza. And, mean Jean campaigners had clearly violated election polling rules.

And, Kos and his great kick ass buddy (sorry, I don’t remember his name) told everyone who was raising these issues to shut the fuck up- yanno, NO conspiracies HERE, and please contribute to the tip jar on your way out.

And, hey the fact that Hackett lost, well nonetheless, hey, this is a victory for the Dems.

I didn’t like the commentary, I didn’t like the concept, and I didn’t like the attitude.

Hey Ray…how do you feel tonight, so Ray rips on some fast high note like the trill of a bird setting of the set. Oh yah Ray and Fats. And Fats comes on with Jumbalaya… gonna have me some fun on the Bayou. Joyful music for a joyful day. Jerry Lee Lewis coulda shouda been a concert pianist..lotsa of talent there. Very very nice utube.

I remember feelin’ the same way after the Paul Hackett thing…I mean I had a BIG “WTF” moment…there have been a bunch of those moments but lately Kos is much better about disclosure of where he’s got or is gettin’ his money. Butcher right, I’ve been blindsided a few times too…I still like this place for discussion,dialogue and community action…like I said, this place is like a community organizer’s workshop.

Boogie with Stu

Hey Jeff, what are you doing up?

Hey Norske! Really, I was telling you why I wrote off dKos. But, those were just my personal reasons. I’ve been back of course to check it out, but just for what “works for me” Generally, I find the site overwhelming, and the comment structure hard to follow. I’m more partial to places that have a more personal touch, too. In addition to FDL I read DWT/ Howie. Howie speaks my “class of ‘69″ language! ;)

Hey J, woke myself up out of a dream that obviously was going no where so just trying to center myself a little before going back to sleep.

How ya been?

Hey MM! Hey Jacqrat! I about to crash, but had to say hello to you both on my way out. And, it’s been a really foul-mouthed thread, so PLEASE DON”T use the “M” word. !!! ;) Think on that a bit, and you’ll get it!

ah
m word is to c word as flies are to Sh*t?

Hi! Im ok. just surviving. hope you can center and breathe

Hi VG, I’m going back to sleep also. No M word here just things that are what they are nothing more.

J, going back to the deep sleep now. Whatever my subconcious is trying to tell me, it should e-mail me, maybe I’ll get it then.

J- okay, I am going to get horizontal and breathe! Nite!

Think I’m supposed to say new thread
