ZED!!

hey nahant – how many late late nite zeds is that in a row now?

Can you do the fandango?

haha, love this song!

I always thought this song was Fred’s unconscious writing about his sexuality, and what it would lead to for him. Very beautiful in that way….

“To meeeeeeeeeee….”

DIGG is Open Pups! You Know What to DO!! DIGG IT!

One of my all Time Favorites Suz!!
How are things up on the Northern Coast??

I lost Track Suz… I have been Lucky!! I just got here after a late late Nite dinner with my Sweetie!!!
Got the Digg with it!!

i gotta give credit for the inspiration for this song tonight – thers used ‘thunderbolts and lightening very very frightening’ in his post last nite

hey dosodi

and welcome to late late nite eternal vigilance – i don’t recognize your name as being here before – if my memory is faulty (won’t be the first time), please excuse me

Edit IS my Friend!!

thanks for opening the digg nahant

has been stormy up here all day – wind blowing the rain sideways (gusts into the 30’s) until just before sunset.

tis ok nahant – i am fluent in typo

We had a nice day… hit 70 and was sunny all day… great for my newly planted veggies!!

I know but still…

nahant, i guess my prediction that your transplant would be today was wrong.

Still have a bit over an hour Suz!!! Ya just never know… It is just a heartbeat away..

I never thought of it like that but I can see it now.
Love the song, Suz, thanks!

seems wrong to be hoping for something bad to happen to someone else so that something good can happen – i can’t imagine how horrible the waiting must be – i am not a very patient person

hey margot

Now when I hear Stanford’s Life Flight Helicopter I wonder!! The night I was backup it came and went twice and there were two transplants that night..

I know what you mean Suz!! It is a strange feeling, but by know I just want to get it done so I can start the healing process. Then I will feel like I have my freedom back, now I have to be within two – three hours of Stanford and always keep my cell phone with me…

i didn’t know you were in their flightpath

i used to hear lifeflight and calstar helos when i was living at the cabin – was in the flightpath from santa cruz county to stanford

Dugg too!

thanks teddy

Oh yeah I see it often. If I go up on my roof I can see the Hoover tower plain as day. Besides their helicopter has a very unique sound and is hard to mistake it for any other helicopter even if you miss seeing it you sure do hear it!

teddy, are ya foggy again tonight?

Hi, hope you all had a Happy Easter. I ate way too much and fell asleep way too early.

Who doesn’t love this song, Suz, it’s a work of art.

I take it a partial transplant won’t work for you nahant. fingers crossed.

hey ellie – one of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time imho

Happy Easter Egg everyone, and welcome to Eternal Vigilance. Did you guys see this wonderful video cut in Belgium?

Tea Parties Forever
Paul Krugman’s Monday Column

Today’s G.O.P. is, after all, very much a minority party. It retains some limited ability to obstruct the Democrats, but has no ability to make or even significantly shape policy.

Beyond that, Republicans have become embarrassing to watch. And it doesn’t feel right to make fun of crazy people. Better, perhaps, to focus on the real policy debates, which are all among Democrats.

But here’s the thing: the G.O.P. looked as crazy 10 or 15 years ago as it does now.

hey loohoo – isn’t that forking wonderful!

No as I had cancer and a gene deficiency so only a complete Liver will be effective, but I am told this IS a cure and cancer should never come back!!
Thanks for your support Elliott!!
We also had a great Easter, Julie’s solo went fantastic! She sounded great!

These days I’m fluent in noun-verb disagreement and palin-speak. Also. Scary.

a gene deficiency? is that related to your cancer or are ya just double unlucky?

Oh Loo Hoo that was great fun, have a soft spot for that movie.

I was “six going on seven” and would stand up on hearth of the big old fieldstone fireplace in the LR singing along. It was like a stage, about a foot off the ground.

We’ll miss you while you’re in the hospital, nahant. (Or do they have wifi at Stanford Hospital for when you are recovering?)

i used the lace curtains to do that long train from the wedding scene.

best song in it was my favorite things followed closely by (how do you solve a problem like) maria

That’s unreal. My gf and I used to stand on the hearth at her place and sing “Take Another Little Piece of My Heart”.

Julie’s solo went fantastic! She sounded great!

What did she sing?

The cancer is related to the gene deficiency which is called Alpha 1 Antitrypsin and is inherited, I was the unlucky one in my family, my siblings were tested and don’t have it.

raindrops on roses and you know I love whiskers on kittens *s*

Not sure but I should be home in about a week or so as I live so close they will let me go home. I will have to go four times a week for labs and checkups at first and all goes well they will cut down my visits down as I heal.

Is that where it was? I loved it!

bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

It retains some limited ability to obstruct the Democrats, but has no ability to make or even significantly shape policy.

Would that the Dems understood that. Buncha wimps.

I get all the helos coming out of the mountains (two major hospitals here).
Murmer a lot of little prayers.

You’re on my mind..

Antwerp

She sung : Nothen- gonna hinder my Jesus” The choir did the background part and supported her soprano part.

Thanks Sunny(:>))

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

wow, can affect either the lungs or the liver

my brother has hemochromatosis, also inherited. my sister has been tested for the genetic defect but i haven’t.

hey sunny

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad

sounds beautiful!

OMG. Time to boycott Amazon.

The update looks okay, but I’m suspicious.

lisa has a post up about it at lafiga

And more Suz. I have always had allergy and asthma issues and because of an episode I had in the early 90’s the VA decided to start looking at my Liver. But it was my Pulmonary Dr who had me tested for the gene thing and then the liver Drs started looking even more… one thing led to the other.. but if I wasn’t tested they may not have seen what was in my liver in time to get me into the transplant program. I feel I am very lucky as many times by the time they find cancer in the liver it has already spread.

Two of my cousins have that.

I learned that 1 out of every 8 people have a gene for it, but it’s recessive so you have to get the gene from both your parents to get it.

It blew up cousin Barbie’s pituitary when she was in her twenties, lucky for her she had two kids all ready. She was always the prettiest. What a beautiful smile. :)
Her Dad ran off Nick Nolte when they were in high school. LOLOL
He was wearing jeans (God forbid!)

Thanks for the welcome Suzanne.

While I’m usually checking in at FDL quite a lot, I only say something when I feel it’s something that would otherwise not be said. Like Mr. Ed.

(That and the linear threading of the comments at FDL drives me crazy.)

Thanks again for noticing and being friendly!

here on the dark side of the lake, off topic is the topic. i like the linear threading – the kos style of comments totally confuse me – i guess i’m a linear kinda gal.

it has been my experience that once one has delurked, it is hard to go back to being silent again.

i’m looking foward reading your comments.

ain’t no one friendlier

aw shucks ellie. i just want everyone here to feel welcome and comfy. when i worked up the nerve to type my first comment at the lake, i was so warmly welcomed by mrs k8 that i vowed to play that forward.

i like the linear threading

It is just like we experience Time!!
Was just watching a program on the science channel on TIME! Very interesting.

*sob* my free cable is basic only and does not include the science channel – i sure loved to watch their shows. now i’m forced to watch the food network when nothing is on.

And you have Suz both here and in person… You have earned a special place in all of our hearts Suz…

sheesh, i gotta couple ex husbands that would disagree with ya nahant

They don’t count Suz… couples always Find reasons to fight, but it is what your rules for it that count. I also had a few X’s, but the third time is a charm…

hey suz!

re: Evanovich – she does great caper.
Re-issuing her 20/yo romance novels – dumb.

ha – i refuse to be a three striker, a three time loser, or whatever term one uses.

i have learned that i live very well alone. even as a kid, i was happiest when alone – whether it was up in a tree reading or taking long walks.

i am so looking forward to 14 – iirc, it comes out in june.

she’s gotten better with time. i do like her between the numbers stuff – i think that helps her not get into a stephanie rut.

Well if Julie hadn’t sat down beside me at the bar who knows?? We have been together ever since going on 18 years this October on Loma Prieta day and the big fire in the Oakland Hills!!

i remember the oakland hills fire start day very well – ex #2 was a motor officer at my department and he got the call, loaded up the bike and was gone for a couple days. watched that fire on tv and drove through the caldecot tunnel a couple weeks later – the devastation was horrible and i could hardly recognize it.

eternal v – what area of the planet do ya inhabit?

Used to wonder how Pay Pal escaped banking regs. No longer wondering.

We watched on TV and watched as the ashes were floating over head here in Redwood City. Sure made for quite the first weekend, of course the kids were with us. That was when I found out what a great sports fan she is, we watch sports often together especially the Sharks!!

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night.

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

g’nite ellie

Agree about between the numbers. Found another at a used pb place here and a copy of 12. So I’m catching up..

They’ve got a ton of her old stuff. Gonna refrain :-)

Don’t leave, we haven’t done Edelweiss yet!

Nite Ellie(:>))

Night, Elliot. I’m out too.

to say goodbye . . .

g’nite loohoo

Nite Loo Hoo..

nite elliott and loo hoo

Just arriving. Hiya, pups! anyone still barking…?

arf arf et – how’s alaska tonight? redoubt giving ya ash trouble?

Food network on basic — tres cool.
Do you get c-span 1 & 2?

Ruff!

I mean, the ash is rough. Only ash I’ve seen is on the melting snow from an ashfall we got in Wasilla two weeks ago.

hoping to see some ash-holes fall soon, though.

My gf and I used to stand on the hearth at her place and sing “Take Another Little Piece of My Heart”.

are we still discussing partial transplants?

:~)

Hi et!

well, be careful – don’t make an ash of yourself.

lol

hey pun

just basic cspan – no two or three

twould be a good thang et – those ash-holes need to fall – hard. in public for everyone to see.

yo, Suz!

when I erupt, it just flows uncontrollably. I love a blow up from time to time, to let off steam, but I wish there was a way to control my fault lines.

Bailed-out banks face probe over fee hikes
Fuckers! These banks need to be put into receivership for all the different ways they have been screwing over the taxpayers who’s money bailed them out!

yo yo ma

We’re at WAR here in AK, until we defeat the “general,” or until he surrenders.

cello out?

forkers (spitting). as stirling said in his post today – we are not consumers to them – we are the product.

More like Marks Suz!! More like Marks! They want to suck out all of our money so they can be fat and rich again after fucking things up for themselves and everyone else!

ya put cha cello in, cha cello out, cha cello in and then ya shake it all about

wow, what a scumbag…

i doubt they have thought beyond taking all our money. after that, where do they go? do they raid another country to get more suckers to bamboozle?

the problem with being greedy is they always want more – time to impose some hard limits on the forkers

Limbaugh’s Dirty Little Secret of Radio “Success”
digg Share this on Facebook Huffpost –

It’s because — ready for this? — Rush’s show was, and presumably still is, given away for free to many local radio stations.

Fuckers!! Where the fuck is equal time gone?? We need it back now.

I hope you mean WAR.

And I’ve only had time to read or scan about 15% of his 70s, 80s and 90s articles. April’s the second busiest mont of the year for me at work, too. But we’ll give WAR his Cannae.

LOL. I was going to specify, but thought it was obvious enough…

It’s always another skirmish in the siege of Palingrad here in Wasilla.

time for me to head off pups. thank you for letting me spend some time with ya tonight.

g’nite all

Y’all grow em mighty big in Alaska.
Betcha Texas is jealous.

Great diary.

nite suz. Thanks.

Niter Suz… I am outa here also… nite Pups!!

eternal v – what area of the planet do ya inhabit?

Umm…the outside part? ;-)

To be more specific, the Bay Area and D.C. (more the latter than the former these days).

I moved back here before the 2006 mid-terms, because it was important to me to provide some kind of obstacle to the final two years of the Bush insanity, and to further demonstrate in 2008 that there’s no meaningful difference between Republicans and Democrats. I always said “Americans choosing between Republicans and Democrats is like chickens choosing between Tyson and Perdue.”

Now that people are beginning to see that, the next work is assisting the death of the religion of Capitalism (Judeo-Christianity-Capitalism is best understood as a religion, the end stage of the elevation of man to the position of God. But that’s just a stage in our development, like the growth spurt in adolescence – it’s essential, but deadly if it were to continue forever) and the conscious development of our next religion (a religion just being the unifying energy of a large group of people, the personality of a body where the cells are the size of humans).

I’ll probably be in D.C. for a while longer, through our collective denial-anger-bargaining-depression-acceptance grieving process (the ending of Capitalism is a mid-life crisis at the national level, the death of the power and drives of our national youth, and we need to grieve before we can move on).

It seems appropriate to be talking about this at Easter, since this is the story underneath the Crucifixion, the ending of the first part of a life driven by power and need and the transition to the second part, one where man is reunited with God. But in Judeo-Christianity-Capitalism this transition requires the absolute death of the body – Christ may be reunited with God, but at the cost of his humanity (that’s the unbearable tension of hanging on the cross, the tension between being human and divine that would tear a person in two). And since Christ didn’t live the second half of human life, there’s also no map in that tradition for what to do next (which is why at the personal level the mid-life crisis is so hard, because there’s no larger mythic map of how to get through that transformation without dying). That’s why our next calling is the conscious discovery of a new religion (actually, it’s already here), one that instead of having to die to our humanity to live into our divinity shows us how to sacrifice only the parts of us that need to die, and how to then be resurrected both personally and collectively into the illuminated wholeness of the second half of a life, to live out our days as both divine and human.

As we move more into the conscious discovery part, where I’ll live I don’t really know. Everywhere, I suspect.

but the third time is a charm…
