Could it be that Clinton (economically) was more conservative than Eisenhour?

This is a short article written by a man who, bc of cancer treatment was experiencing the same symptoms women in menopause experience. Kind of fun and interesting.

So you should all watch my boss on CSPAN tomorrow at around 10:30. His name is Mark Lenczowski and hopefully it won't be similar to events at the Tianamen Square.

Happy Birthday Gillian,
You look like a million
bucks.
Did you get any bucks?
Save them and soon you'll
have a trillion.

Have all your friends over and watch Uncle Ed's boss on CSpan!

That's no fun. You're bad parents.

There's a turkey at our bird feeder this morning.

Dad hosted a birthday dinner for Mom last night...it was delicious! Steaks on the grill with the grilled veggies...lettuce salad and bread...Tom and Nance brought potato salad and cucumbers, and then for dessert Dad made a german chocolate cake...Mom was very pleased...it was a beautiful night on the deck and the cousins played ball, it was great!

David Carradine hung himself in his fancy hotel room in Bangkok...(Kung Fu and Kill Bill fame).

hanged.

molly said...

Me, my parents and the kids are going to Des Moines for the weekend, Brian is riding his bike to Missouri and back.

After the parish carnival we start a week - long Milbrath family vacation at the Wisconsin Dells!

Hope the lake doesn't disappear!

We better connect soon, Catherine and Cathy as regards watering plants and feeding animals! Didn't know you were leaving town!

Mom's birthday sounds perfect.

Cheers,
lisa

Hey anonymous...hung vs. hanged...you must be a bit unsure cause you didn't reveal your name...
Hanged is for executions,
hung is less glamorous, like suicide, he left himself dangling.
I'm sticking with hung.

my e-mail is out. i may loose my mind. i am going through withdrawal....

I hope this incredibly confusing explanation clears things up:

Originally these words were pretty much interchangeable, but “hanged” eventually came to be used pretty exclusively to mean “executed by hanging.” Does nervousness about the existence of an indelicate adjectival form of the word prompt people to avoid the correct word in such sentences as “Lady Wrothley saw to it that her ancestors’ portraits were properly hung”? Nevertheless, “hung” is correct except when capital punishment is being imposed or someone commits suicide.

What if you get hung/hanged out of a window in Rome so violently your guts fall out by Hannibal Lecter?

Wow, it sounds like the entire Straub derivative in the CB area is leaving town. Is something bad happening there? What about Caitlin? Is Omaha safe?

Well, Stevo and I are going to an ordination Friday night and Molly and the kids are going for fun and we're all going to the Farmers Market Saturday AM because it's so cool - one of the best in the country. That's how we roll.

Tom and Peter both have soccer tournaments. So I'm going to 6 soccer games. Joe gets to work.

Whe-hoo six soccer games. What fun!

Lisa

At least they'll sleep well.

m.e. said...

Pat, your explanation sort of leaves me hanging...But, let's not get hung up by all this grammar...I'll be hanged if I'm gonna spend one more minute thinking about this.
BUT...think about this: Kung and Hung rhyme...so Fu to you!

ellen said...

Andy and I are looking forward to seeing the Richardsons and my parents this weekend, as well as the Farmer's Market on Saturday! I want to take the girls to the historic carousel at the park by our house, too. It might be a little better than six soccer games, but probably not as exciting as roller derby.

Hey, Pat, (rereading the blog) there's a priest in Harlan - big, hearty manly guy - who was being treated for prostate cancer and informed his parishioners at mass of all the side effects so they wouldn't think something was seriously wrong when he had hot flashes. I'm sorry I missed that one.

c said...

I'm willing to bet that no Straub men read that article.

m.e. said...

Hey Ed...How did your boss do on CSPAN??? I couldn't watch today, maybe they'll re-play it tonight...did you watch it all together at work?

'Cuz Carradine was found naked in his closet...I wonder if he was involved in the practice of autoerotic asphyxiation and it was accidental?

Anonymous said...

Yeah they were talking about that on the news this morning.

I hadn't heard that...maybe, it's true then? If so...what a way to go?

Yikes. Not Caine (Kane?) Kung Fu was required TV when I was in college - prehistoric times when the only TVs were in the student lounges. Everyone was in there nodding wisely or snickering at Caine's pearls of wisdom and cheering when the non-violent hero was forced (every week) to kick some ass.
