THE KID CORALS AND CHOIRS WERE SINGING AT THE ALL DAY HOMELESS SHELTER ANNUAL FUNDRAISER.
Nothing like kids voices in harmony.
Lots of nice people gathered to give. My gift blanket (Hudson Bay) auctioned for $350.00 wow Just think if I wouod have signed it. Usually they collect $40K of the $600K yearly budget. Only 49 beds plus the bunks at the overflow places. Used to be armories open in California no more. The mentally ill make up 75% of that population and are self medicated with the wrong stuff. Good evening and Merry Christmas to all.
he had to give me shots in front and *shrudder* behind and up high behind *double shrudder*
when the local wore off yesterday afternoon my mouth was very stingie — i do not like sting. it was like i was stinging in each of the injection sites.
it is good to be prepared… just in case. i seriously think that i will be much better by the time i go see dr a monday afternoon. i’ve healed up pretty fast from other other extractions.
Cleveland today was sunny and not cold at all — just 30′s and sunny. Just lovely. MrCE and I shopped, did errands like the watch repair and grocer, then went to see “Fantastic Mr. Fox” which we laughed our asses off with the music and voices.
Suze, yep, i closed on my house yesterday. My oldest daughter & grandson will be living with me … we’re gonna scrub & paint B4 we move in. Or rather, everyone else is gonna scrub, paint & tote boxes. Sigh. No exertion with all the eye stuff going on …
I’ve used this song before – “All I want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” – to demonstrate how the dominant of the dominant of the tonic is important when the melodic line descends from the 5th degree of the scale toward the fourth and ends up resting upon the third. It is a good example to use, because the kids all know the song, and the illustration is so transparent.
ok, details. Bad news is that things kinda went downhill rapidly when my SIL returned from Iraq, constant drinking and smoking dope, really irresponsible with money, not coming home for days at a time, all very stressful to my daughter and grandson. So daughter is getting divorce & asked if we could form multi-generation household. *Happy Dance!*
It is a ’57 three-bedroom ranch in suburbia because alas, i was priced outta the market in minneapolis. Classic paneled rec room in basement, huge lot that’s begging for lots of gardens. My sis has a gorgeous ’50′s split level a mile from our new place so family will be close by. Easy to get to work for both of us.
We were able to get it at a good price because sellers started out way too high (it’s an estate deal involving 5 sibs) and didn’t put any work into it … really needs painting and other cosmetic stuff. All easy to do but other buyers couldn’t see past it. Some truly ugly Bushes in front which daughter and grandson are going to topiary into T-rexes.
yeah, daughter and grandson brought up the idea last week when i said i was gonna rip out the overgrown shrubs, i said sure, they’re toast anyhow so turn ‘em into trexes! I said that next xmas one will be done up in red lights, one in green lights, and both trexes will wear santa hats.
The company that published Going Rouge and the fdl-affiliated group that published Marcy’s book on the Plame affair are so different from companies like Harper-Collins that didn’t even bother to hire a single fact checker for the CW’s book.
alrighty. The last of today’s eye drops have been dropped, so i think i will toddle off to bed. It’s been great fun to be able to hang out at LLN. MWAH! Lurv you Pups.
The letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was signed by Senators Maria Cantwell of Washington, Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Tim Johnson of South Dakota, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Tom Udall of New Mexico, Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken of Minnesota.
i couldn’t find my fav version — his guitar is purple and he snaps his fingers in time with the bass line… i thought it was at rockpalast which is why i originally picked that one
CT I appreciate the news not that it is anything that wasn’t predestined. “Rope a dope with hope” then nock out the knocks with the good ol boys club he cane from. If we has a Pres from the House we had a better chance at moving the the Corporation of of our backs. Barack won’t mess with the man.
laughing — my meds have definately kicked in — that is the version i like but the audio isn’t as good on that copy of the video — i remember the one i liked had a 6 figure view count.
Congrats on the beautifull new chompers. Got mine 6 yrs ago. For me it was 25 teeth out in 1 sitting and new teeth went in and stayed in for 7 days. Lived on vics and scotch for about a month but it was worth it.
You work at Apple..Steve Jobs and the crew.. what a great story read his book Odyssey..John Sculley took over and reformed the company. Sounds like a lot of very interesting work.
Hi Loo Hoo
The couple I took in are planning to come to SD for a drug program. So they can get off of meth/opiates and stay out of jail and get their kids back. Are there good programs available?
Hahaha! Suz!
ZED
it is the perfect toon for tonight
hey how ya doing tonight newton?
hey bb — how’s the bay tonight?
Hey Suzanne – congrats on the new teeth.
Honestly – better now that I see you having a sense of humor after yesterday.
And raining cats and raccoons here!
above freezing here — barely at 33 but it is the first night in more than a week that i have not dipped below freezing shortly after sunset
cats and raccoons eh? the dogs must be busy keeping everyone warm from the cold weather
You tried to zed on the wrong thread…! ;-)
LOL, very appropriate ‘toon, Suze!
thanks eg — i hope to be wearing them soon
hey ndfg — of course in my case i only had the fronts (and a couple molars) it is kinda backwards appropriate
by the way… heads up notice — i have taken my evening pain pill
The Moment of Tooth.

MrCE got his new front teeth two summers ago — it took months and months. Also, (SP speak), many whitening sessions in the plastic box/bathroom.
hahaha (ouch) hahahaha
what a wonderful event bb
What the hell? They wished Season’s Greetings. Has Bill O’Reilly heard about this heresy?
Hah! Perfect choice, Sister Suz! Glad you’re finally done with the heavy lifting.
Raging wind gust rain moving sideways time to time reminds me of Oregon Coast.
hey ce — i gotta tell ya — the removal of the fronts are the absolute worst.
the sting…
Glorious, crazy rain here too!
hey loohoo — it raining down there too?
Nice!
…i have taken my evening pain pill…
No worries, M’dear…! We can tend to the store…! ;-)
Ya trust us, right…? ;-)
emerson! dood lay some distracting tunes on me — once i get past the next few days i should be doing great.
go ask Alice
Rained all day here. Storms lining up to give us what we need.
i love living here. the storms are magnificent!
You clever, eg!!
hey mary mcc — hows sac tonight?
I’m next — I need gum surgery that I’m DREADING.
no :)
i trust lurk (waving box of dark chocolates with pecans)
Wow! Good for you, brother.
drugs. lots of drugs during and after is the ticket. and follow the instructions to the letter.
*shudders* getting novocaine for cavities in front teeth is bad enough *shudders again*
Hand’em over…
Aww… We’ll behave… Promise…! ;-)
A Punaise
i tried to gum one of them but… sigh might as well hand em over to ya lurk
It’s a deal. Saw your boy Emmanuel on PBS tonite.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYzajpeAWuA
At least I have lots and lots of sick time banked — like enough time for a broken hip and surgery. Gosh darn it, I’ve worked too hard for too long.
he had to give me shots in front and *shrudder* behind and up high behind *double shrudder*
when the local wore off yesterday afternoon my mouth was very stingie — i do not like sting. it was like i was stinging in each of the injection sites.
More for me!
saw-weeet emerson.. not heard or scene this one before
but i’m not telling ya which ones i tried
Wondering how many inches so far in the last two days.
it is good to be prepared… just in case. i seriously think that i will be much better by the time i go see dr a monday afternoon. i’ve healed up pretty fast from other other extractions.
When do you get to retire?
Ooh, that’s evil…! ;-)
give weather underground a try. find a personal weather station near you and check their history and stats.
That is grand. Boy, who ever thought that teeth would be so dramatic.
*innocent look*
Heh, the meds are hitting ya pretty fast…! ;-)
Owtchee! Not fun …
i gotta tell ya i seriously underestimated just how important teeth are.
dood i read it 3 times — did i miss a typo?
Forkin’ wet. Cuddling with the ex and the puppy cats and kitty dogs.
Best guess — less than ten years? I’m 57 years old. MrCE says, “you are old, I’m going to bed…”
and…
8-P
every time i see that ad for the new movie where meryl strep is having an affair with her ex husband i think of you.
looks like it could be a very funny movie.
Now that the medication is kicking in, how about just one smile?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0dWAmxX_gg
fork
a really big one while laughing
I want to see that and take Ron. give him some ideas! We could start meeting secretly. hahahahahaha.
Bookmarked, thanks. Too complicated a site to learn tonight.
That Tommy Emmanuel is amazing, sounds like there are 2 or 3 people playing. But it’s just him.
the ad cracks me up — only diff is all your friends know and approve whereas they were trying to keep it secret
emerson finds some great utubes
We’re the same age, Christine! And we’re NOT old! Dang!!!
ndfg — so i hear escrow closed? or am i misremembering and confusing you with someone else
As I asked some time ago, can I come sit by you?
Case closed…? ;-)
I think I shall leave you beautiful people to your own devices…! I bid ya’ll a fond adieu…! Aloha Oe…! *g*
yeah, Suz turned us onto him about a month ago. Totally blew me away, too. egregious! He had a two hour PBS special tonite on the Sac station.
christmas blues
Cleveland today was sunny and not cold at all — just 30′s and sunny. Just lovely. MrCE and I shopped, did errands like the watch repair and grocer, then went to see “Fantastic Mr. Fox” which we laughed our asses off with the music and voices.
aloha ct — glad to see you are around more now :)
Yikes!

folsom christmas blues

Nice. I recognize the lead – he is an actor…
Jared Lehto?
Absolutely! I’ll serve gingerbread cake with whipped cream. ;~)
Suze, yep, i closed on my house yesterday. My oldest daughter & grandson will be living with me … we’re gonna scrub & paint B4 we move in. Or rather, everyone else is gonna scrub, paint & tote boxes. Sigh. No exertion with all the eye stuff going on …
Aloha Oe! (I’m learning Hawaiian, one comment at a time.)
woohoo
details — dish girlfriend. how big? one story or two? farmhouse or suburbia?
how cool that you will be living with family.
Congratulations on the house! FAMILY!!
Wow the instrumentation on that is great. Loved the snares and the bass.
Way to go!
I think so. They have a ton of great videos and are very socially conscious.
Great news, ndfg. Congratulations!
moore always makes me think of bromberg
ooooooo
have no idea why i associate those two but i do…
and it usually works out well

What a riot!
hahahaha — can’t wait
Ok but what are those giant boxes people keep bashing around, dont try to tell me those are computers
David Bromberg! I am sure he has played with my friend, Pete Grant.
It was awesome to have AKM hosting the book salon! Due to family stuff, i didn’t get to my ‘puter until later, but i read thru the whole thing.
I’m a big fan of Alaska Bloggers *g*
Bromberg and Jorma

Can you believe it? I think all of those were shot in the UK. They have cameras EVERYWHERE!
dood!
figured that out already.
The company that published Going Rouge and the fdl-affiliated group that published Marcy’s book on the Plame affair are so different from companies like Harper-Collins that didn’t even bother to hire a single fact checker for the CW’s book.
Where is Bromberg from?
wiki says he was born in philly
alrighty. The last of today’s eye drops have been dropped, so i think i will toddle off to bed. It’s been great fun to be able to hang out at LLN. MWAH! Lurv you Pups.
g’nite and congrats ndfg
Lurv you too, ndfg….
nite ndfg
yep. Played in NYC all the time when I was growing up. Loved the college circuit too.

Hey stranger, where you been?

YARRRRRRR, I’m drinking rum and enjoying it! The South Bay is wet but not cold, low 50s.
Our friends have a beautiful kitten I want to steal.

You posted your teeth – and lovely teeth they are.
Sorry, I couldn’t pass up the news…! Apparently, there’s still hope for Texans…
Houston Is Largest City to Elect Openly Gay Mayor
that’s what i said the picture was — thank you. they look very nature
Great — it’s that great band from the 1970-80′s — Rain, Wind & Latkes
welcome back dood
Agree. Nice top shelf, Suz!
I’ve been here — just not much late at night
Mod I want my old password Hint woof what do I need to do?
thanks — i am certain that once the swelling goes down my top shelf will be where it belongs instead of in its watery container
Very nice.
bb you can change your password by going to your profile. is an easy fix.
He’s got people from Arlo Guthrie’s band that is so cool. I do remember those glossy photographs from Alice’s Restaurant. Great fun.
But until them, just keep it away from Token.
Of course, no Suz celebration would be complete without an appearance by Warren

swaying and holding up lit lighter
Hmmm… Not the usual suspects…!
Those Senators…

Still listening to Oh Sharon on the laptop and it does not crash when I play u tubes
Where is my profile? Post Office
my fav mule
your profile in the box on the right hand side — the toolbox is below the act blue stuff
Suz, I still have a lingering cough, but it’s slowly improving.
Long tall mama pretty nice Emerson Thank you ever so.
good to hear that dood — was worried since ya hadn’t been around since saying you had been ill
double crap — that was the wrong slackjaw video.. i meant this one
You are correct, madam. Kickazz!
try the version i just put up — forking awesome bass line in that tune
Hey BB, check out those other vids from the Chicago show. Lots of good stuff.
Heh… That didn’t take long…
I lurves Jane and FDL…! ;-)
Been busy. New role at apple, I’m beat like a government mule when I get home. That couch of ours has been nap central. ;)
Oh yeah. Much better sound quality and still Kickazz!
*sigh* I tells ya, I live in the wrong time zone…! ;-)
ThatGuy, you work at Apple? My nephew is a designer there.
this administration is one that has to be forced to do the right thing, no matter how much they kick and scream about it
Slack jaw Jzebel reminds me of Blomberg I think noce fingering wow Govt Mule
It is nice to listen on one and blog on the other
busy is good dood.
glad you are able to groove along with us bb
why?
Yeah, I’m there. What kind of design does your nephew do?
Sadly they are kicking and screaming much of the time…! ;-)
i couldn’t find my fav version — his guitar is purple and he snaps his fingers in time with the bass line… i thought it was at rockpalast which is why i originally picked that one
I’m curious about the incomes of the doctors refusing medicare patients vs. those who accept them. I have no idea, but I’ve never seen an explanation.
fine by me. i learned how to tune out that when my first was about 2 and in the throes of the terrible twos.
Best wishes, ThatGuy.
All the blockbusting news hits the wires as ya’ll are snoozing…! I end up talking to myself about ‘em…!
He works on ITunes. Plays a mean guitar too, but isn’t ready to play out (only in his opinion.)
true — but it is a small price to pay for all that paradise around ya — guess you are like me and don’t catch the PUAC threads live
PUAC…?
I think it IS that one Suz. But, the sound dropped out since the first time you played it. Not positive, though.
Of course, that doesn’t account for the lost finger snaps, so I withdraw this entire line of questioning, your honor…
pull up a chair
CT I appreciate the news not that it is anything that wasn’t predestined. “Rope a dope with hope” then nock out the knocks with the good ol boys club he cane from. If we has a Pres from the House we had a better chance at moving the the Corporation of of our backs. Barack won’t mess with the man.
laughing — my meds have definately kicked in — that is the version i like but the audio isn’t as good on that copy of the video — i remember the one i liked had a 6 figure view count.
Heh… Christy always did it so early in the morn…! I did chat with her on a couple… As I was finishing up top…! ;-)
since i am confusing myself with the videos i think it is time for me to head out for the night.
g’nite all and thanks for the great conversations and music tonight
Congrats on the beautifull new chompers. Got mine 6 yrs ago. For me it was 25 teeth out in 1 sitting and new teeth went in and stayed in for 7 days. Lived on vics and scotch for about a month but it was worth it.
G’nite and hope it is an easy transition for ya.
Sweet Dreams, Suz…! *g*
nite suz. glad you are ok.
You work at Apple..Steve Jobs and the crew.. what a great story read his book Odyssey..John Sculley took over and reformed the company. Sounds like a lot of very interesting work.
When the music is over turn out the lights.
Nite all
Party music

Hello!
What? You’re just getting here?
(very sweet dreams, Suz.)
G’nite Suz!
Yeah. Late. I know.
Are any of you familiar with Matthew Spieler at The Fast Times?
Not I.
g’nite Suzanne!
Hi Loo Hoo
The couple I took in are planning to come to SD for a drug program. So they can get off of meth/opiates and stay out of jail and get their kids back. Are there good programs available?
He made an odd attempt to rip into Jane the other day. I wrote about it here. Trying to decide if it’s something I should cross post at the Seminal.
The guy sounds like an ass and very petty for whatever reason. Yes, I think people here would like to know who’s taking potshots at Ms. Hamsher,
Time for me to turn in. G’nite firedogs and nice hanging with you.
I really have no answers for you.
I’ll put it up. Then I’m turning in.
G’nite all!
Night all.
