Suzanne! Can this be zed?

tejan! indeed! how ya doing?

hi suz, tejan. delurking to say hi and g’nite

hey spurious – always a pleasure — and g’nite

me too, wish i could stay awake! zzzzz

anyway i think everyone’s still on LN

I will watch Beyonce in a minute, but I have to say that I loved the Justin Timberlake special at Madison Square Garden some years ago. Heh, before dick in a box.

Hey Suz! Nice to see you spurious. Come back!!

Nice vid!

8:00 AM technical screen interview. Supposed to have some code emailed to me to discuss, seems a little strange. I asked about collaboration software to do live mark up, but no, just talking on phone.

hey ce — i loved both box in a box and dick in a box. they were too funny. how’s ohio tonight?

hey loohoo — how’s socal?

hey, am I here yet? or am i still on the fringes?

Wow, I’ve never been first! And I can’t really stay, drat. Gotta pack to catch a flight to MD to help out my mother tomorrow.

So far behind on chores it’s ridiculous. Still gotta write a note to my cat sitter and tidy up.

The only negative about having a cat sitter is you know somebody will see your place while you’re gone, so you don’t wanna leave it a mess. *g*

How’re you Suze? Spurious, hzven’t seen your nom in a long time. How are you?

hey senator — sizzlin! you still in n/o or back in sac?

The choreography is pretty cool on this one.

hey wmd — tis a positive step tho — an interview is an interview… fingers and toes, as always dood. how ya been?

i am back, just sleepy and not very articulate! still thinking about those gypsies/rom from the last thread

hey mac — how’s noo yawk city?

Ohio is in mourning for Harvey Pekar. And I have a story!

evening, Suz, firegods

i’m doing well tejan — will ya have tubes at mom’s or are ya gonna be computerless?

Came home today.

Went to Grand Isle. Talked to a bunch of people. Meet more folks on the plane home who have been working the spill. I hope to have a diary up about it in the next few days.

thanks tejan, doing ok but involved in (somebody else’s) bone marrow transplant. things are going to be scary for a while…

one of my all time favs.. love fatboy

gonna take a while to process it — lots of info there

When I had my wisdom teeth out, back in the dark ages, it was done in a hospital. I was 18, I think. My hospital roommate was a gypsy/Rom girl just a little younger. I was freaked out to learn she couldn’t read at all…think she had never been to school.
She was never alone, though; family around to keep her company all the time. She wasn’t exactly friendly toward me, nor unfriendly.

yikes — hope it all works out well for everyone spur

Aloha, Suz and LLN Pups…! ;-)

aloha tut — how’s paradise?

No sound yet on video what to download to hear it? Hi Evening Lake. Mary is back Hi Suz

thanks suz; he’s pretty strong so here’s hoping

I just “took delivery” of a “broadband 2 go” gadget from VirginMobile; decided to buy it at the last minute and it got here tonight (well, I had to go get it since I was out when attempted delivery.)
Looks like a thumb drive, as which it also doubles. Supposed to just plug it in to USB and log on. It’s 3g, like a phone.
I should have tried it out by now, but so much driving around today I just pooped out.
Anyway, I hope to have internet even in my mom’s house, for the first time.

Hi CT, CE

Peggy.

But who was the original??

Hi Suz, everyone.

it starts off real low with no music at first bb — make sure the sound isn’t muted in the utube bar below the video. how’s your bay?

hey ppd — how’s the south south bay tonight?

sweet!

Wow. Sounds scary. Take care of yourself.

Best luck.

g’nite all

hey margot — how ya doing?

Margot,
Harvey Pekar died yesterday. Do you remember him?

I’m really interested in reading it.

thx

g’nite spur

hi, Margot!

Still wonderful here, Suz. Sundress and flip flops, but still no airco!

Hope so! So, since I won’t be cut off as usual, why aren’t I signing off and taking out the garbage, etc., etc.?
Guess I’d better. May check in later. Talk amongst yourselves. I know I’ll miss some good tunes.

g’nite tejan — they will still be here for ya to check out after ya get settled in at mom’s

good, thanks — had my hands full with the folks

A balmy 76 as the Sun sets behind the mtn…!

Not quite the same, but amusing.

I’m pretty sure the original wasn’t this one.

per this it was little willie john but peggy made the cover hers

how are they doing?

hahahaha oh lardy i love that man — cracks me up every time

Farewell Harvey Pekar, we loved you in Cleveland. American Splendor was a great comic, and movie.

about as well as can be expected … dad’s been in the hospital twice over the past three weeks

That just woke up a part of my brain I thought was dead. Thanks!

That was so cool!!!

i remember you saying you had just gotten him home iirc… twas sat nite?

Interesting to hear DD and Lisa’s info, huh?

hey talking stick — love your name btw — how ya doing tonight?

hey plove — how ya doing tonight?

last friday night … back to three different doctor appts this week

you being there to make sure all those appointments happen as smoothly as possible must be such a blessing for your folks.

I still want to hear about that creamware jug you have … near Winterthur (am I right?).

It’s worked out so far, by design. I’m the one who’s within the five minute zone.

Do you live with or near your folks?

Fully sunny day so stayed in the moment and still got stuff going getting some momentum but fragile. Helping people in a dowb econ should be a good business plan.

Hi CE

my sister is within the 5 min zone for our mom and stepdad — they moved to arizona to be closer to family… just in case. they were living in palm springs and my brother and i were in the sf bay area at the time. they like the hot so they chose arizona and my sister.

Hi Suzanne. Doing good as long as the air conditioning keeps working.

We play the five minute defense.

helping folks is aways good :)

Hey PPDCUS,
Heat is tough, but we are coping.

HA! Could have been for all I know. I keep thinking Count Basie, Ella, something! Youtube isn’t helping out.

been a lotta that lately — and some a/c units have lost the battle — hope yours keeps on keeping it cool. what region do ya call home?

I just realized it’s turned into the 14th here in the east. Wish me happy birthday.

ella fitgerald did it iirc… i was looking for something else and stumbled upon the beyonce video and didn’t look around much after that.

I am in North Georgia. At least up a bit in the mountains so it is cooler at night. But all my flowers are burned to a crisp, even the roses.

hippo birdies two ewes

I have no idea what elderly folks do without someone to watch out and advocate for them with doctors, etc.

yikes. high heat and high humidity?

((( Suz.)))

That’s the best one I will have.

We had some heat here today, CE — nearly 80 F, but it’s 55 F tonight, as usual.

we need cake and ice cream to celebrate

where’s loohoo — she has the best cakes!

Hey Suzanne!

nah, only peggy lee. no histrionics, no posing, just a voice and one hell of a rendition. can’t be bettered.

what movie ya watching tonight ce?

Happy Birthday, Talking stick!!!

Nothing special. I am at the age where I only celebrate the ones with zeros.

hey viejolez1 — how ya doing tonight?

cake?

oh well LooHoo DOES have the best cakes.

I’ll leave this one for the help.

On Sunday in NO it was 91 but the heat index was 105. Humid beings.

ohmystars that looks yummy mac

Howdy lovely.

Just passing through.

Attending to prayers.

That’s the most gorgeous confection I have ever seen. And I will enjoy it and its calories virtually. Thanks!

Happy Birthday…Native Americans run their meetings with a talking stick who has it speaks the rest listen, nice handle.

Suz is playing it close. 100 went to birthday pup!

bacon ice cream

happy 100 talkingstick!

Near Rome?

Here’s Peggy again.

whew — missed it — forgot to watch again dag=rabbit

Hey Suz,
I find it very strange that no one mentions that Harvey Pekar died. I’ve left a few mentions in this thread, but nada. Am I too old? Harvey called the museum and we chatted just two weeks age. Sorry.

neat trick, that get me to look.

I’m dumb enough to believe in bacon ice cream.

100, TS — you don’t look a day over …

Jug getting all kinds of TLC at Winterthur.

OMG! Gorgeous #2. Those calories have I fear jumped the virtual zone. Wonderful!

some folks don’t recognize the name — they know the work but not the name.

YUM!

I doubt that many knew of his work.

the cyberzone is calorie free

I don’t see the birthday kid as 100. Whadup?

Lots of mentions on the progressive blogs, CE

Thanks. Yes I chose the name because of the tradition and because I am such a blabber mouth. The village where Kofi Anan grew up in African also had the tradition and I got the idea from an article he wrote about the healing of conflicts through palaver..

Really! I can hardly believe that.

Closer than I care to believe.

talking stick — in case you were unaware of a lln tradition, the commenter who lands on the lucky 100, 200, etc., gets a hearty congratulations.

unless, of course, i land on it in which case i tend to swear.

Congrats to the 100th! (Personally, I think it’s PLovering.)

oh shit.. how did that happen…. musta been a hiccup

the 100 DID go to plove

my bad

happy 100 plove!
(head hanging in shame for the mixup)

I thought that American Splendor might have spread the word, but not much it seems.

I think there was probably a comment waiting on the Lurking Mod’s approval. he was 100 for a moment.

Thank God FDL doesn’t have cameras.

Chris, I’m sorry to say I don’t. I looked him up yesterday, looked up American Splendor, but I didn’t recognize anything about it. I do remember R. Crumb, though.

Another quarter.

Exactly, Suz. Sorry CE, I’m ignorant.

that cake reminds me of that candy that was a bunch of colored sugar dots on a strip of white paper.

hush

Not too close to Rome. I am in Dawson County on Lake Lanier which is more NE. Rome is a nice town. We are mostly NASCAR around here.

Happy birthday to you!

We don’t need no stinkin’ cam’ras … at da lake

hiya margot

I’m for bed. Up early, getting caffeine before 7:00.

nice

mockingbird

those dots on paper remind me of acid

Hi, Suzanne. I have to post Giant, it’s just so good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slzlm3OPeNg

: )

AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Suzanne and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Hola companeros…jest pokin’ my head in ta say “goodnight”…keep the red flags flyin’ and how ’bout those Spanish shit kickers???!!!

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THERE ARE STILL WARS TO STOP!!

I thought you were guessing it was my 100 birthday!

Yes happy good things to you Plove.

Hi Suz, it was rainy today, my backyard is a jungle. Heat, haze and humidity tomorrow.
How’s your beautiful bay?

Hey, did you lose me?

g’nite wmd… hope ya get good news to share tomorrow nite

Thanks Margot.

white bird

hey norske — woke ya up huh (laughing)

how’s the fishing dood?

beautifully cloudy and in the high 60′s during the day.

those 95′s last week forking wore my ass out – too forking hot to think!

White Bird is one of my favorites.

hey tp — how ya doing? that one’s new to me – thanks

mine too — a grand summer song

Citizen Suzanne:

Givin’ God and the fish a break for awhile…not goin out again ’til later this week…goin’ up in search of the monsters of the frshwater deep: muskies and big Northern Pike. But the Norske war canoe has fuel pump problems so I might hafta hold off ’til next week.

Still eatin’ on the Walleye from Lake of the Woods though.

I’m good! I hope you’re well too!

: )

oh crap — is it due to methanol in the marine fuel — that’s a big problem up here.

ya did bring home a bounty of fish last time dood.

i am, thank you. what else ya got up your musical sleeve?

I think we can all rise above who got the official 100. There are (apparently) more important issues in the world! Like wtf happened with bp tonight? Really, why the delay in good info?

OK, I admit it – I have been looking for this one.

Hey Suz!

You all have a great evening and day tomorrow. I am off for the beauty sleep.

And Thanks and Hugs for the Birthday greetinngs/

hey newton — how’s the west bay?

g’nite and happy birthday talkingstick

This is what I sent out to the Facebook group BP we Demand Respirators for All Clean up Workers
Hi Folks:

Does anyone here know someone who is a firefighter or EMT in the Gulf Coast? Officials in the Firefighters Union or Association? I would especially like to talk to someone in Venice, LA or Grand Isle, folks who have had experience with safety equipment and might have training in hazmat situations.

Although NIOSH now recommends respirators for some workers, OSHA is still not requiring it for all. BP is waiting for OSHA to require it so they will be forced to provide them.

Until OSHA requires respirators I thought about convincing a respirator manufacturer to provide masks for people on burn boats and other workers close to the spill. The manufacturer would want someone they trust to distribute and fit the masks. Suzanne at FDL suggested firefighters and their Union or association. I think it is a great idea.

If a local firefighter group is willing to distribute and train people then I’ll go to the two big mask manufacturers. It would be a good act of PR for the respirator manufacturer. I would coordinate the donation, promote the act to the community and the media and describe why it is currently necessary.

That’s my tentative plan, any connections would be helpful. I think that using social networking stuff to help people is a good thing.

Thanks
LLAP,
Spocko

hey spocko –how ya doing? hear any good feedback?

…unless, of course, i land on it in which case i tend to swear.

…tend to…? ;-)

Was hoping we could count on that muskie to take on barracuda barbie the quitter.

*sigh*

ok, i swear. lots. and loudly.

*sigh*

that started off really nice, loved the Volkswagen dung beetle.

Yum! Walleye. Can’t find that at Costco…

Excellent, now that it’s cooled off.
You burning up?

the repetitiveness of the actions is what got me…

i’m fine — and enjoying the clouds. it was warmer today and i didn’t start the evening fire until a little after 10 tonight…

Right now I’m trying to downgrade my ipod touch to 3.1.1 from 4.0. and it’s not working.

It’s a fairly complex process but I’m sticking through it because 4.0 keeps crashing. Very annoying. It’s almost like Windows! Maybe this is their way of driving business to the Microsoft Zune.

Drag.

very mellow. beautiful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHUVL21IN4w

Total respect, spocko.

Being naughty again, Mac…?

Yes. I got two responses with suggestions. One guy is a firefighter and author who I met at a conference. Another one is from someone who knows someone.

I asked the firefighter to help me think through the process of approaching them. I want to think about what THEY need to make this work and also if it actually already fits into one of their training/public safety programs.
Since I know that they are also usually in the need of equipment what I might see about is if the manufacturer will offer some gear for the them in exchange for being the distribution point and the for the photo op.

yikes — i heard consumer reports said it was a do not buy until the antenna software problem was fixed

good — yanno, some of the bigger departments are not on the gulf coast — places like fdny and chicago and la county have a lotta pull among other firefighters — hope ya can pull some of them on board. the added pressure of fdny saying they are on board carries a lotta weight.

I am soooo lucky – I still have my first gen, which doesn’t qualify.

My clients are in an ungodly uproar, and I am making a fortune off of it.

laughing — well there is that newton. good to hear someone is getting work :)

night all – be well

g’nite ppd

hah!!

the other day, I got e-mailed this

with a note to turn myself in the the authorities.

and it was the youngster that sent it!

me for sure, but I wouldn’t have guessed you would know of such illegality, except from training films, of course.

; )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EgB__YratE

well, that and experiences that led to the obtaining of that juvenile record that i was able to get sealed as an adult…

sweet… try somma this

What do you mean? And good for you!!!

You’d best turn yourself in…

The Post had ya on the front page…! ;-)

Hot!

Oh yeah.

My Fav Hush

And Busted thinks I don’t like banging my head a little . . . ;-)

hey larue — how’s sac tonight?

Parasite that I am…
The new firmware for the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod Touch has seriously spit the bit, and my clients are furious. I am getting a ton of work back-grading their hardware, and soothing their nerves.

Meanwhile, I have a model of my own that has lasted so long that it doesn’t qualify for the upgrade that started the whole mess.

How are you my dear?

lol.

I didn’t have to turn myself in at all, the really big authority around here came and got me the next day.

he knows what evil lurks in my soul.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4xm5w_6nww

Seems to me Apple started it’s descent right after the last G4 iBook. Everything’s all tinfoily these days..

Hilarious song!

Rock on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK6jgzV32bg

It’s a good thing. Huge tech influence grinds to a halt while result of hubris rains down in buckets.

What he is about to inflict on his people about complacency and arrogance, they will not soon forget, and his legacy of being the prick from Cupertino will be rightfully restored, and worth every moment.

What I would give to be at Infinite Loop next week…

200?

Oh, newt, I’m doing fine. So you bought the best ipod years ago and now you’re helping others! Good plan. Get rich quick!

happy 200 newton!

don’t give me no lines

Newt got it!! All HAIL NEWTONUSR!

The seven letter word used to describe him? Assh—
I’ve heard lots of people say that. I helped Apple spit out some Apple ///’s
Using the SOS. I kid you not.
Sophisticated Operating System.

Holding in the low to mid 90′s and delta breezes so far.

Sadly, forecast says we hit the 100′s in a few days, and they last for a few days.

WTF, they been wrong before . . . ‘maters are not flowering and fruiting as much, some have stopped for a week or more now.

Sigh. Life happens.

KAKE-A -SAURUS !!!!!!!!!

Trumpets blare! Lions roar! Vivzulas vivzula!

7 letter word

keep ‘em well watered and they should rebound dood.. gotta have ‘maters

No argument. Mellowed after the transplant, time to get back on his pale horse.

That said, that assh— drives tech like one one else, when he is right.

Thank you Loo Hoo…
Should we eat that thing, or climb it?

Always liked that tune. Reminds me of this for some reason, song starts a minute in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DmY87ajqm0&feature=related

And what the hell here’s Meantime. An acquired taste but rocks so damn hard!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgGyX7WPxuQ

can never go wrong with jimi ’round here

Can’t over water, roots rot . . . it’s a balance when it’s too hot.

Until the heat passes, they just won’t flower and fruit, no matter what we water . .

Frustrating, it is . . . we were doing SO well in this coolest spring/summer ever.

And meanwhile, the East Coast is lit up like a Santa Ana Wind Driven from the mountains to the seashore.

Science sez this is the hottest 6 months of a year (Jan-June) ever.

Sadly, deniers run amok, still . . . whatcha gonna do . . .

hoping ya get a bountiful crop when they settle down

clearing out.
nite loo hoo

nite you guys

I was very happy with the iPod touch until now. Battery life could be better but it worked. Now not so much.

g’nite newton

here’s what ya do…..

make ‘em drink dirty water

It truly doesn’t look edible, does it?

a forking classic dood — i featured this one a couple years ago

Good night all. I’m sleepy, and I just hit a wall of cover versions and I can’t find the version “Visions of Johanna” that I’m looking for…

Sleep well.

: )

Down By The River Charles, ya Bostonian!

Nice hit . . . great oldie.

Frustrated women,
Got to be in by 12 oclock.

*G*

g’nite tp

it looks like you go near it with a knife and something bad is gonna happen.

One hit wonders with Radar Love . . . I never heard any of their other material. Oh, other than Twilight Zone . .

Was it any good?

they also had this one. what i liked about the radar is the fact there are 1,000 drummers sitting in playing with the band

I got a little cheap Toshiba laptop and the battery is incredible. Far surpasses my mac laptop.

Good night, newt.

And Suz, I’m sorry, Twilight Zone I thought was great!!!! Sorry I came across a bit negative . .

not a problem… they were a two hit wonder iirc — and i’ve always loved a good drum line

Yeah! Great song.

I had NO idea they were from The Netherlands!

None whatsoever!

Always assumed they were American. No DJ I know of, ever mentioned they were Dutch!

Wow, the shit I missed!!!

lol

still playing too

that Larue is just an old plucker through and through, and don’t got no time for beating.

Wow! Go figger!

Here Come The Hunnerts

Sigh.

yuk

that’s just insane and I’m glad that the sound on that barely worked ….else I’da gotten a thumping from thew sane people asleep.

well, its getting to be about that time again. thank you for letting me spend a wee bit of your evening with ya and for creating tonight’s soundtrack to go along with all the conversations.

g’nite and *le poof*

yeah, i better run too

OK, one more time. If you want the best of the Dutch, see this.

I’ll never give up on promoting this girl.

Lovely, but just not my cup of tea in music . . . .

You DO have tastes that are beyond me . . . I respect that.

You are SO much more refined . . . ;-)

Thanks Loo, wishin you and all yers well.

Yer killin me.

Ya take a GREAT 60′s Band, and ya showcase the worst shit they’ve ever done.

Yer evil, ya know . .

;-)

God what a crap song . . . for such a FINE band.

WTF are ya DOING up, at 3:50 AM anyhoots!

GO HOME!!!!! (Tracy Ulman Voice)
