OPEN FORUM

- Another 2 months & all the campaigns will be over. We'll either have a young black guy & an old dude in the White House or an old dude & a young white woman. Either way, history's in the making. Isn't history always in the making?

- Hurricane season's in full swing. There's a reason I live in a mountainous, land-locked area. Unlike a couple of my brothers ...

- School's back in session with only faculty senate days as holidays until November.

- It's almost time for the Apple Festival! Otherwise known as Old Home Week around here.

- What's going on in *your* world?

Why are the old men "dudes" and the young man a "guy"? >: D

ROSE said...

The same reason some women are "women" & some are "chicks" - it's code for how cool you are. If you don't get the code ... >:D

That is so wrong. I am mega-cool!

Anonymous said...

does your observation of those specific worms indicate what kind of winter we'll be having?

Good morning!

Did you see McCain's speech last night?

Ya know, when I was ... 20 something, I couldn't have cared less about who was running my country. My 30s were all about the kids, kids, kids. I voted for the person I hated the least. Now, at 40(+), I've actually paid attention to the candidates as opposed to the hype.

It's amazing how different the information sounds when you get it "first hand" & form your own opinion instead of just reprocessing what everybody else thinks.

WILLIE NELSON FOR PRESIDENT!!

i like McCain better and better. like everyone else he has faults, but!!!!!!!

ROSE said...

Do you think Sarah Palin was a stroke of genius or political suicide?

Anonymous said...

genuis!

Anonymous said...

Palin appears to be an excellent choice for VP. But we must wait til the media gets through disecting her for our final decision.

Anonymous said...

But it's important to remember, just because she'd be a good VP doesn't make McCain any better a choice as a president.

ROSE said...

McCain's not as young as he once was - a good VP has to be a good president, too.

I'm betting no matter who wins the election, Hillary's going to end up with an appointed position. Reckon she'll be the new Secretary of State?

my turtlehead is a disappointment. was hoping for a colorful flower, instead it's a cluster of flowers. each flower is about 3/8 to 1/2 inch long of ivory white. the lips and tongue of the flower are i/8 inch long and are rouge colored. 16 flowers in the main cluster. still blooming.

looks like the taxpayers are gonna save the fat cats again. thanks to our reps in washington we are going to the rescue of fannie mae and freaky mac. gotta give them CEOs thir million dollar bonuses otherwise they won't make their kickbacks to our senators and representatives. it has been said we have the best politicians that money can buy.

Im so ashamed. Andy growled at me Fran talked down to me. according to them everythings going finev and open and above board in the showwalter ptroposal. But I just can't help remembering that the origional offer for the Ivydale school was 150,000 dollars but suddenly 50.000 of the offer disappeared and it was reduced to 100,000 which we are still not sure where it is. I remember some years back I WAS IN A LITTLE RUCKUS WITH A DRUG RING WHICH WAS BEING PROTECTED BY THE STATE POLICE, i received an anonymous letter, obviously from a state police which told me Iwas an old man but if I didn't shut up I would wind up in the ditch with my head blowed off. I'm still here the state police and that drug ring is gone. the remnants are still here though.

update/turtlehead
at present, main cluster, 7 open flowers, 28 buds, must be adding buds at the tip.
16 additional clusters started.
going to be more attractive than I first thought.

Anonymous said...

LS, are there more than one of those rare turtlehead flowers that you are keeping track of? Can you start one from seeds?

Anonymous said...

yes each flower produces a seed. last year the plant got broken somehow. the seeds didn't mature. never seen the plant maturebefore. there are three plants close together. don't know if they are from the same root. if nothing happens should have some seed for next year.

Here's a coupla things I'm wondering about ...

1) You know how all the TV stations are going digital in February & you have to get that new box if you want reception? They give a website for that & say that your antenna will no longer work. Do people who still use antennas really have computers??

2) Ford brough back the Mustang, Dodge brought back the Charger. If McCain wins the election, how long do you think it'll take Ford to bring back the Maverick?

Anonymous said...

don't know rose, i thought McCain was the maverick. maybe he'll bring back Ford.

our country works in odd ways at times. Iguess we all get what's coming to us in the end. Now take me as an example was around the fringes of three wars helping to keep the freedom of this country. And now as my reward the goatsuckers are giving me hell.

see in the Gazette where bar owners are up in arms about a no smoking regulation.
just think people can't smoke in Clay co. businesses or public places but racing autos, and motorcycles, and coal mine blasting, huge log trucks and semis all spewing pollution are just fine. It all helps Frans wrecker business, it helps David Pearson make money with his timber business, it lets the coal barrons strip the county of our coal, it lets the noisy autos and motorcycles roar around the county spewing pollution, no one bothers the good old boys club or the mules when they fart. all this is detrimental to my health. gasp gasp I CAN'T BREATHE MUST KEEP MY HEAD UNDER WATER.

I understand that the way freemasons can tell one of their own is to put them in a room with a goat. the freemason knows to have sex with the goat and doesn't mind because he knows that his lodge brothers have also had sex with a goat at their initiation into the 3rd degree. but the non freemason won't go near the goat thinking its a trap, which it is. I understand some of the freemason and their hatchet men prefer mules.

what IS the difference between 9/11 and the 50,000 killed in Vietnam?

ROSE said...

Here are a few differences between 9/11 & Vietnam -

Vietnam vets are still trying to get their benefits on their own - current vets have thousands of advocates fighting for them;

When Vietnam vets came home, they were shunned & spat on & shoved under the rug - today's vets get saluted & thanked & parades in their honor;

Vietnam was protested by people hopped up on dope who truly believed in what they were fighting for - today's war is protested by whacked out Hollywood types & fluffed up publicity hounds;

Vietnam took place far away, where it was easy to ignore & forget. Today's war started on our home turf, right at the feet of the 24/7 cable news.

Vietnam was made public in black & white, edited to "protect the sensibilities of the American public" - today's war is made public in gruesome, living color, edited for full in-your-face impact.

There's a world of difference between Vietnam & 9/11. It's the different long-term responses to the similarities that should be causing your panties to bunch.

Conversely, if ignorant opinions are sought & educated opinions are offered, it's important to be able to tell the difference.

found a different worm this morn. brown, segmented, the others weren't segmented. Looked like it had fur on it instead of hair.
1. 1 pale yellow
2. 2 pale white looked dirty
3. 1 black
4. 1 brown wearing fur coat
wonder if that means anything.

seen yesterday that theVA was refusing to pay quite a few of veterans medical bills. typical. bet they didn't quibble one bit when the congress was voting to give themselves a lifetime pension after one term in congress and they have the best of health care at the taxpayers expense.

read alittle item in a sasquatch story. this woman said she decided to take a walk inthe woods. she lived at the fly over zone for an airport. so needing to relieve herself she took a good look around and seeing no one, proceeded. being at a party of important people a couple days later this fellow came up to her laughing and said she almost peed on his foot. he being a protector for the VP was securing the fly over landing zone and so was lying there in a ghillie suit. she didn't see him. big brother can be anywhere.
