As an aside to the birthday wishes: Mia Farrow is beginning a hunger strike, water only, next week in response to the crisis in Darfur and the world's ingoring of it.
Yes Emily, you'll have to create your own celebration with Scott out of town.
Phelan's appendix story was the most dramatic of all. Except for the woman in MN who yesterday received a call from her doctor, saying he'd accidently removed a piece of fat, and so she'd have to come back in.
Happy Birthday, Emily! Take the boys out for some ice cream and have something you wouldn't ordinarily order because it has 15,000 calories. It's spring!
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I love having my birthday on earth day. Cathy, I like your idea about ordering whatever I want, but to be honest, I have been letting myself eat whatever I want this entire pregnancy. I have shown no restraint whatsoever. Dollar menu sudaes sveral times a week!
Mom and Dad left here about an hour ago. They were probably itching to get out. The house is pretty crazy in the morning. Jude was attitudey and threw a ball which caused coffee to spill all over Mom. Of course I got furious. It was not a pretty scene. Now Jude is at school and Sam is hopefully napping and I can take a shower. I have a dr. appointment this afternoon which I have to drag the kids to. I hate that. Scott comes back tomorrow and I plan on sleeping A LOT.
Happy birthday Em! you're looking great in that photo. We have the greatest weather for Earth Day. Too bad I'll be in the library all day. Maybe I'll take a break and go to Elmwood park- they have a big celebration every year. This makes me wish Seamus was still alive so I could take him with me. See Emily, you SHOULD name the baby Seamus. Then I could put him on a leash and take him for a walk around the block. Just kidding.
I just had lunch with Mom and Dad at Sarah's, and then they picked up Curly Girl...the dog was very happy to see them... Seamus is a great name, I think Jim and Erin considered it at one time.
Maybe instead of a limerick contest, the next time we do this maybe we should have an iambic pentameter contest - Shakespeare style. (That was good, Ed.)
By the way - I didn t do any earth day things, despite my intentions. I even tried to buy trowels at the Hy Vee garden center but they wouldn't take checks!

PROTECTING E MAIL ADDRESSES How to protect your e-mail address book from the conficker worm and other viruses. As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads straight for your email address book, and sends itself to everyone in there, thus infecting all your friends and associates. This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will stop it from using your address book to spread further, and it will alert you to the fact that the worm has gotten into your system. Here's what you do: First, open your address book and click on 'new contact,' just as you would do if you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses. In the window where you would type your friend's first name, type in ' A'. For the screen name or email address, type AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA Now, here's what you've done and why it works: The 'name 'A' will be placed at the top of your address book as entry #1. This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends. When it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA, it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered. If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address), the worm goes no further and none of your friends will be infected. Here's the second great advantage of this method: If an email cannot be delivered, you will be notified ofthis in your In Box almost immediately. Hence, if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed toAAAAAAA@AAA.AAA could not be delivered, you know right away that you have the worm virus in yoursystem. You can then take steps to get rid of it.
If everybody you know does this, then you need not ever worry about opening mail from friends. DO IT NOW and pass this on to all your friends.
Word on the street is that when you go to the swanky new, big cityish Perky Parrot and you order just a water you won't get a glass of water. Instead they will try to sell you a bottled water. I'm unsure what happens if you insist on a glass of water. Do they refuse or not? Anyone else hear anything?
I was there--the Perky Parrot--a couple of days ago, and lo and behold there was a pitcher of ice water and stack of tiny Dixie cups on the condiment stand.
So, there is now free water to drink, although it seems to be somewhat rationed due to the size of the cups offered. The manager is still the only staff member who smiles. Impulse power woman seems to be mastering the register. The espresso machine is still mind boggling for them all.
Well, I see where Governor Sibelius of Kansas has vetoed a bill passed by the Kansas legislature that would have required physicians who perform late term abortions to provide certain information to the state. The governor said the bill would tend to intimidate physicians. Naturally, the head of Planned parenthood in Kansas applauded the governor. President Obama, who also is involved in the killing of babies in the womb (plus those who somehow survive a botched abortion) has nominated Sibelius to be the Director of Health and Human Services, a cabinet position. What a pair!! They really complement each other. Dad
Yes...Mike told Renee about the water the other night...the first week you couldn't even get ice and tap water for a fee...you had to buy the bottled water! So, alot of people complained I'm sure...Kelli's correct, the counterpeople there are aliens (maybe) except for the Lolita who also works at Sarah's (you know who I mean!) Beverage prices really can cause a ruckus...I like nothing better than a $3 glass of wine!!! BTW..I thought people would flock to the Parrot from Gallery Brew...that hasn't happened.
Oh yes...they're playing during rodeo weekend in Leon...shall we go? Black thunbnail, use it for a pick. So stiff and black it could pluck a tick lalalalala
That Lolita quit Sarah's because it is so unfair that I make her best friend (the bartender) show up in a clean, pressed shirt.
Someday I will have a job where machines do all the work - zero employees. I'll come in, in the morning, and see that they are all working and then grab the paper and a cup of coffee.
Actually in the future you can have your turkey, mashed potatoes and green beans and eat them too. Then maybe you can take a pill that will nullify their caloric content. Otherwise I ain't goin'. No pill dinners for me.
It's summer out there! Everyone get off your computers right now and step outside! Play Friday hookey! Happy hour on the patio!
Take a look at single hole faucets. Are there any that are small enough to be in proportion to the sink? I don't remember ever seeing any but I wasn't looking for them specifically, I just like to wander through the plumbing sections of big-box stores sometimes. It seems like a 4" would be more in keeping with the period of your house but that might not matter. Ellen has a monster massive new kitchen faucet in the smallish kitchen of her older home and it looks great. I want it.
I just watched Iron Chef America. The secret ingredient was...butter. The two chefs were women. The food was incredibutter. Everything from brown butter fried corn-crusted scallops to butternut squash tarts in puff pastry to a dessert plate featuring very grownup rice crispie cake topped with brown butter and vinegar ice cream with killer caramel. The judges wept buttery tears of joy. Now that's TV. It was a tie. Butter - food of the gods.
On Iron Chef the secret ingredient is no secret. They are made aware the day prior to the contest and have that much time to formulate recipes and presentation.
Can you believe something on tv isn't what it seems?
So on Friday I decided that after 8 years I would give sushi another try. I got some spicy tuna rolls at a well known area sushi place and they tasted ok, but about three hours later when I was home I got violently ill and spent the rest of the night trowing up. My body rejected the sushi and I am going to listen to it.
I felt fine the next morning and had a cranberry muffing first thing.
Frank, you should get the topsy turvy tomato planter. I"m gonna get it so the bunnies don't eat my veggies.
I guess I should not be surprised that the chefs know the secret ingredient because a minute into the battle the iron chefs and sous chefs are all toiling away without any apparent discussion as to what they are planning to make. I've always wondered about that. I still like the chairman though. What is Chopped all about?
Why do the kids get sick every time Scott leaves town? Up all last night with fevery and coughing Sam.
I think the iron chefs only have to have one plate of each dish made by the hour mark, too. (Does that make sense? Weird sentence) Then they have tome to finish plating the rest of dishes for the judges. Although it looks like most of them have all the plates ready.
Nance, I'm surprised that that many parents wrote BGHS and that that many parents are paying for dinner! I think helping out is nice, and of course buying dress or paying for tux, but once kids start dating they should pay. I mean, most of them will be juniors and seniors and should have a job.
I did the topsy turvy tomatoes last year, it works. but only grows small tomatoes and not very many at one time. I guess because the root system is confined or something. It's really heavy too, once it's filled with soil and water, so you have to have somewhere to hang it that is sturdy. We ended up using the swingset and it looked kinda ghetto.
Although it's a rainy week, we are doing a lot of work on the house. Andy and his dad, Greg, both took the week off. They are replacing some boards on the siding, and we might have a day or two of no rain to paint. Otherwise, I'll at least be able to get the porch painted. They installed a new water heater yesterday, and I have been working on planting things. I think we've made good progress for being here 3 weeks, but we still need to hang art work and unpack a closet full of random stuff. Question- do any of you get pest & termite inspections done every year? There is no history of termites in this house, but the previous owners had inspections. There are termite spikes all over the yard, one in just about every place we want to plant some kind of food. We don't know if these give off chemicals or if veggies would be safe near them- anyone have a clue?
Thanks for the well wishes. It seems that this guy is the final word on the Dockers campaign and we won't be presenting to Schwarzenegger, H. Clinton or B. Obama. The work is sold and we are moving forward into production for a fall launch. They also got a little more serious yesterday in terms of an offer. Meaning: they gave us one. This could get interesting. Accepting would mean working part time over the summer and moving out here in the early fall for full time work. Fun, really. I'll have to see what the lady has to say about this.
Congratulations Des! How exciting. It would be fun to live out there.
Peter had a great first communion. Mom and Dad, Lisa and Randy drove all the way here and back on Sunday. Thank you all of you. Peter appreciated it. I'm sure you were all tired on Monday. I was.
We bought two topsy turvies. I was told they dry out fast so I'll need to water them at least two or three times a day.
Monica - did it get windy there after we left? We got caught in some extremely heavy rain and had to pull over. Everyone had to pull over. When a semi pulls in behind you, you hope he stops in time...
Peter's first communion was very nice and we had a fun and yummy time at Monica & Joe's. She made chili and split pea soup! In addition to sandwiches, salads and cake. Mary and Emma bounced on the trampoline and Mary sometimes still fake limps from "when my knee bent backwards, remember!"
Specter has been a democrat for a long time. Kind of a pain in the ass. He's just doing this to save his seat.
Des - I had been buying Levi 501 Button Fly jeans. They wear well. Except about half way thru the winter I went thru 3 pair in rapid succession. They all split in the crotch within a month. I was buying them from a big box farm supply kind of place.
I thought maybe they got their hands on a truckload of pirated 501s because this had never happened. So, I went to the small store front retailer uptown and bought a pair. This pair has lasted well. Curiously, the stitching looks a little different on these. More heavy duty.
I think you better call the Levi fraud division and also make arrangements to refund to me the $105 dollars I spent on the defective pants with your label.
And Congratulations. That's a part of the country that has always intrigued me. I wish I would have visited there when I lived in Southern Cal. I did make it up the coast a ways but never that far. I'm sure it's beautiful and exciting.

And go buy some garden plants. It's earth day!

Ok-
Uncle Don took Caroline to the hospital and now she has no appendix. We need to know the rest of the story.

Mia Farrow better fatten up this week or she'll dead in a couple of days. She's already pretty delicate looking.
Monica
I meant, he removed the piece of fat instead of the appendix.
Happy Birthday, Emily! Take the boys out for some ice cream and have something you wouldn't ordinarily order because it has 15,000 calories. It's spring!

Go and buy a new pair of shoes...and have them measure your carbon footprint!

Seamus is a great name, I think Jim and Erin considered it at one time.
I'm sorry, but I simply don't care if Mia Farrow goes on a hunger strike...
For some reason (and I have no idea why) Mayor Dailey has declared this "Talk like Shakespere Day" in Chicago, so....
Good morrow my friends, my foe, and those betwixed;
I bid you sit down and break fast with some Trix,
Also - some birthday wishes for Em:
Today be the day your eyes did first see the sun
so with mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come
Be not afraid of wrinkles: some are born wrinkly, some achieve wrinkliness, and some have wrinkles thrust upon them.
The previous post was for Emily and in honor of her Birthday and 3 boys under 4...ha!
Maybe instead of a limerick contest, the next time we do this maybe we should have an iambic pentameter contest - Shakespeare style. (That was good, Ed.)
By the way - I didn t do any earth day things, despite my intentions. I even tried to buy trowels at the Hy Vee garden center but they wouldn't take checks!

For Earth Day...I discussed our ongoing "Earth" problem with a pompous & chauvinisitc "Earth guy." Does that count?

'tis folly I say.
I'm gonna do it... but, do you think this is a trick?
Oh and can you give that information again...Shakesperean style?
Verily, Pat, you needs must write all thy wise counsel in the manner of the Bard. Get on't.
Word on the street is that when you go to the swanky new, big cityish Perky Parrot and you order just a water you won't get a glass of water. Instead they will try to sell you a bottled water. I'm unsure what happens if you insist on a glass of water. Do they refuse or not? Anyone else hear anything?
Tom
Some places around here do that. You have to ask for a glass and some charge .10 or a quarter.
What kills me is when a bottle of water cost more than a can of pop about the same size.
monica
what kills me is poison. or bullets.
I was there--the Perky Parrot--a couple of days ago, and lo and behold there was a pitcher of ice water and stack of tiny Dixie cups on the condiment stand.
So, there is now free water to drink, although it seems to be somewhat rationed due to the size of the cups offered. The manager is still the only staff member who smiles. Impulse power woman seems to be mastering the register. The espresso machine is still mind boggling for them all.

I took the splint off of my thumb last night. Seems weird not to have it on there.
Can't bend the thumb knuckle yet.
My new favorite song is "Black Thumbnail" by Kings of Leon.
Oh yes...they're playing during rodeo weekend in Leon...shall we go?
Black thunbnail, use it for a pick.
So stiff and black it could pluck a tick

Tom
And after work you can fly home in your rocket car and have turkey, mashed potatoes and green beans for supper in pill form.
You'll have to read your newspaper online also.
That Lolita will be bored at the Parrot...
I think about her once in a while....oh,
in the future the martini will still be in a cool glass...and not at the Parrot.
Actually in the future you can have your turkey, mashed potatoes and green beans and eat them too. Then maybe you can take a pill that will nullify their caloric content. Otherwise I ain't goin'. No pill dinners for me.

On a tiny pedastal sink, would a 4" faucet drilling or a single hole faucet drilling look better?
Take a look at single hole faucets. Are there any that are small enough to be in proportion to the sink?

gotta love those muffings.
i watched the butter battle on Iron Chef. i am crushed to learn they know the secret ingredient ahead of time. my whole world has gone topsy turvy.
Way to go Tom, ruining this for your little brother. Did you tell him about the Easter Bunny too?
What!? They know!? I guess I shouldn't be that surprised. They're way too calm on that show.
That why I like "Chopped." They only have a half hour, and they have to use all the ingredients they get. Now that's drama.
About a dozen parents prepaid for their kids prom-dinners at Sarah's. Unfortunately, they wrote the checks out to BGHS! Hello?
Wasn't Topsy a character in Peter Rabbit? We have a theme going here.
p
Presenting to the CEO of Levi's today. Apparently the last guy was just the President of Levi's North America.
When do these presentations end. I wonder if we'll have to show Obama the Dockers campaign before we can go make it.
GeeWiz.
Maybe there's a Lord of Levi's Milky Way Galaxy too.

Good luck Des.
Frank, you should get the topsy turvy tomato planter. I"m gonna get it so the bunnies don't eat my veggies.

Why do the kids get sick every time Scott leaves town? Up all last night with fevery and coughing Sam.
Des, Sorry to say you won't get Obama's approval of the Dockers campaign unless you owe back taxes.
Good luck today!! Grandpa
I think the iron chefs only have to have one plate of each dish made by the hour mark, too. (Does that make sense? Weird sentence) Then they have tome to finish plating the rest of dishes for the judges. Although it looks like most of them have all the plates ready.
Nance, I'm surprised that that many parents wrote BGHS and that that many parents are paying for dinner! I think helping out is nice, and of course buying dress or paying for tux, but once kids start dating they should pay. I mean, most of them will be juniors and seniors and should have a job.
I did the topsy turvy tomatoes last year, it works. but only grows small tomatoes and not very many at one time. I guess because the root system is confined or something. It's really heavy too, once it's filled with soil and water, so you have to have somewhere to hang it that is sturdy. We ended up using the swingset and it looked kinda ghetto.
**Should have job or some kind of savings...
Although it's a rainy week, we are doing a lot of work on the house. Andy and his dad, Greg, both took the week off. They are replacing some boards on the siding, and we might have a day or two of no rain to paint. Otherwise, I'll at least be able to get the porch painted. They installed a new water heater yesterday, and I have been working on planting things. I think we've made good progress for being here 3 weeks, but we still need to hang art work and unpack a closet full of random stuff.
Question- do any of you get pest & termite inspections done every year? There is no history of termites in this house, but the previous owners had inspections. There are termite spikes all over the yard, one in just about every place we want to plant some kind of food. We don't know if these give off chemicals or if veggies would be safe near them- anyone have a clue?
Thanks for the well wishes. It seems that this guy is the final word on the Dockers campaign and we won't be presenting to Schwarzenegger, H. Clinton or B. Obama.
