Ah, delphiniums! I had a few of those once. They were one of the high points of my gardening experience. (Why do I always favor plants that have to be staked?)

Me too! It's a sickness.

Mayb ...

It has rained here basically since this last message. About 10 minutes ago the sun finally came out. We were terrified, not sure what that big yellow orb was....

Sadly, this is still considered "news". Lo, all these years later.

Sigh.

Surprisingly, my delphiniums seem to have survived the cold snap - although I need to check on them tonight as we had frost on the windshield this morning. Sigh. I hope they're okay, I had quite a bi ...

I know! How have you been? Is it springtime yet where you are?

Well, I am consumed with jealousy. It was actually warm for a bit, then >WHAM<. We've had this cold front for days and days now.

May 9??? Yikes. Funny, I don't remember snow that spring! ...

1. What is your favorite type of music?
Depends on my mood. Jazzy blues? Mozart? Rock?
2. Do you prefer living in a house or an apartment?
House

Hi everyone! Yes, I am still alive and kickin'. I spent most of the month of March in Washington, and before that my husband's stepfather had heart surgery, and he developed complications afterward. ...

Amen. And I'm tired of whining...it's been 6 years already! Oh gawd, I want it to end...put on your big boy pants and admit you're wrong!

Hi Wendy! Good to see you here. Agate always has LOTS of new medical information posted in her forum.

Welcome!

Hi Matt! Welcome back. I haven't been around too much myself. I've been in a flare, busy at work, and generally just not very sociable. It's the time of year. I hate winter.

Good luck on your ...

He's not bright enough to do something like that. He probably was all choked up. But, like a small toddler, once he leaves the room all memories of what just happened in that room, and the connectio ...

Personally, it made me sick. Yes, he was a horrible despot. But WE made him. The whole thing just boggles my mind. but what an image for the middle of this holiday season, a hanged man on the front ...

May i ask Agate, was this hotbed of paranoia the one where I originally "met" you?

I didn't know there were so many boards...are any of the others any good? The only other one I frequent is the ol ...

I have been crushingly busy. I was away for 3 weeks total in November-December, and it put me behind in everything. Plus I got very tired after my last trip.

I celebrate the solstice in my own wa ...

Oh, LoLo and I are both just as cute as buttons!

I am going to be laughing at that for weeks!!!!!!

Thank you. After the day I had, I needed to laugh. Ugh.

Yay! Matt is famous!

Thank you, oh Mistress of the Board!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Because that would be a war on christmas!!!

Anyway, it's just a pagan relic hijacked by the christians so the "peasants" could have their tree and be holy, too. Personally, I think there is someth ...

This is one of those stories that simply takes ones breath away.
Is there no such thing as common sense anymore?

No, that's fine!!! Don't change a thing. I'm just seeing imagery where I shouldn't. We were really pummelled.

Agate, that icon looks like a touchdown.

Sadly, I saw none of those for the Pats today. I am officially in mourning for the season.

Load it on, Agate. Make it available for people to read. The fact that this stuff about the Bush dynasty is NOT commonly known is simply...deplorable. It boggles the mind. TV and radio will spend e ...

Though this is profoundly depressing, it is NOT surprising.

To me, anyway.

"It's a hopeless mess."

There. I've said it.

The whoe cabal should face criminal prosecution.

Hi gang. Sorry I haven't been around much, I've been traveling and horribly busy at work. Now I'm traveling again, won't be back til the middle of December. I hope everyone is doing well, and SOMED ...

Hi, gang! I'm sorry to hear that things aren't the best right now.

Ewizabeth, I will be napping after reading your post - 30 people!!!??? Lord Gawd woman, what possessed you? Do you dress in a ...

No, I haven't. I tried to get in one for a CRAB way back when i was single and first dx'd, but I was too late. Now, i don't have the time - I work full time, and though it is in Boston, I live a ga ...

You think that's bad - my maiden name was Shepherd - my brother was called "David, the Shepherd boy"...

Happy belated birthday, Dave!

My brother's name is David.

EEKS. Thanks!

Boy, for a godless heathen, I didn't do too well. Only 5 out of 10.

Copaxone Tip

If you are on C, do not take large doses of fish oil, unless checking with your doctor. I take one gram per day, but upped it to two grams while on vacation. I am still getting big bru ...

The gas problem would outweigh the food problem for me - these things are never anywhere near me, it seems. I mean, my gawd, I work in Boston, the medical hub of the galaxy, you can't take a step wit ...

I got cat poop and fig crunch (a big, giant EWWWWWWWW to that) wrong....

I don't know. But the one that I did attend had 2 neuros. I think they tend to show up.

I'm sure there's money involved.

...Tonight, by Keith Olberman, probably about 8:45 EST, on MSNBC.

The video should be available shortly thereafter on YouTube.com, and by later tonight on Crooks and Liars.com.

His essays are us ...

Mets not looking so good. But they play at home tonight....

Hmmnn...no, but boy, you've made me think.

I went to ONE seminar - the day after my very first Avonex shot, and I wanted to die. It was interesting, but one always remembers that this is not phila ...

Agate, watch Keith Olberman (8PM, EST, MSNBC). For a sample of some of his recent essays, google him or look him up on You Tube, they're all there. There have been about 4 so far. Absolutely worth ...

He's either glued to the TV or his stadium seat....

You guys got nailed, didn't you?

What a kooky fall this has been, weather-wise.

I totally can't immagine why someone would need a semi-automatic weapon.

Commute in to the city some day. geek

I agree. I'm not against handgun ownership or hunting weapons for those that in ...

I'm buried under mounds of work. Just checking in, I'll be off for a few more days probably.

Hopefully I'll have more free time next week. Hope everyone's good!

OMG Agate, lets not open THAT can of worms!!

(snicker)

I'm with LoLo on the eyesight...I'm down to one eye now. Anytime I have to focus on anything (like drive) I close the left.

I'm getting to that point, and it terrifies me. My eyes, but especia ...

...and of course, people with MS!

Because, you know - we look so good.

I'm actually not feeling all THAT great. Not terrible, but I felt really good all summer, lots of energy, so it's a bit depressing. My left eye has started acting up again. part of it may be tiredn ...

Welcome, welcome!

Wow, I'm tired just reading your post!

Welcome, Barb.

Thank you, Agate.

Agate, FACTS do not bother the Bushies!

You silly dreamer, you.

Any time Agate, i'm sorry, but I'm just so tired of the hostility.

It's been a long and tiring week. I have no hide to shrug things off today.

Since I am NOT gay, I will take myself out of this ...

I give up Dave. You are so hostile lately. I've defended you and defended you. I'm sorry, but I feel this kind of rhetoric is exactly what i hate about the right. So, I won't be a hypocrite, and i ...

Sigh.

Yes actually, I have noticed. Don't forget the Martin Sheen president with MS on "The West Wing".

And yes, people do die of MS...but it is kind of like AIDS - people don't necessarily die ...

Jesus H Christ people. Holy crap, I'm gone for a couple of weeks and I come back to the same old arguments. Sigh.

Dave. You and I have discussed things before. yes, we'r sympatico on the Bush s ...

Agate, for me, that IS good news. I want summer. I need it. If it rains, i will be beside myself!

Not as good as the summer, but overall I can't really complain. The weather here has been horrible, cold and overcast, with a day or two of rain thrown in for good measure. It makes me feel tired an ...

DH was NOT happy to receive a $500 one-eyed alley cat for his birthday. His coworkers teased him mercilessly for weeks! And Willie is a little shit now. DH was laying on the couch watching TV, and Wil ...

I have the old metal collanders...I have no idea where they came from - I think maybe my parents. They're very old, and I love them. I bet you could find some at a flea market.

I love the rack ho ...

Not Red -

Liltex is just as snarky as Dave in many of her posts. She may not rant as much but the venom is certainly potent enough to get through. She's had a chip since she got here, she makes i ...

Actually LILTEX, I don't believe Agate mentioned DAVE at all.

I find that standing over the hot stove - especially the electric, I don't know why - makes me almost go into a trance. My eyes get REALLY funky, and my head starts to hurt. But yet heat in general ...

NO!!!

I've never been much for cooking, and since I moved into this house with an electric stove, even less so (I used to cook a lot of Asian food). We use the grill all summer though - lots of fresh veggi ...

Hi Laz!!!! Where ya been?

I haven't, but if it slides across my radar, I will. It sounds interesting.

Dave, that was wrong. That was really nasty.

Good point, Zenna. I think sometimes people come to boards and allow themselves to vent emotions that they keep hidden IRL.

I just read that.

I agree about the parents - the method by which she was killed shows a real level of hatred, it was very cruel and personal. I think it was someone who knew her, and was jealous. ...

Personally, I'm not sure this guy is for real. I don't know why, something just seems off.

But I hope it was him, so this can finally end.

And maybe we can get back to some REAL news? Tghis do ...

Human nature, I guess.

Just my opinion...

The police department was feeding the media all those "links". They implied to all and sundry that the parents were guilty. I place the blame equally between the two...perhaps even more with the pol ...

Zenna,

I , for one, am TIRED of this. You seem to be in the "clique", too.

There's a clique here?

Who's she in it with? I know I've never met her.

Thank you. This administration is SICKENING.

Well, they're not doing too badly handing the Red Sox their own butts. We're getting creamed!

No, no, no BB, that was right the first time...the PATS and...????? Eye Rolling

The wealthier states tend to vote for the working man, and the poorer states vote for the rich.

Bite me, Dave. (I need the little eye rolling emoticon here)

Well, looks like your Tigers beat the stuffing out of the Sox!

It was like an ink blot test!

Okay - how about the Pats and....???

Hmmnnn...okay. Since I have nothing to offer re: College football...

Who do you think will make the World Series this year?

THANK you, Sweetie. Meet me in sports. Lets talk football.

But up until 2 years ago, only my grandmother was alive when the Red Sox had won a World Series - so there's always hope.

Much more so in the NFL, actually. Mark my words - in a couple of years, t ...

Will the two of you please stop?! PLEASE?

Honestly, it's like kids in a sandbox. Go to your corners for a time out!

hi Susan! Welcome to the board. Always nice to see new "faces"!

I wish everyone would stay. I don't know most of the people and there appears to be lot of history I'm also clueless about, but it would be nice if we could try to start fresh. When we get along, we ...

Yes, the columbine is amazing, it looks almost like fuschia.

An interesting thing about that map..if one were to color the states by how much tax revenue they generate, as opposed to how much they receive - it would look very similar.

Dave - ever hear the sa ...

WOW!!!!

Those pictures were all beautiful! I love the blue chips, the lilies, the colombine, the begonias.

And that SKEETER!? Swoon. I will NEVER complain about our paltry little buggers agai ...

Oh Matt, I'm so sorry for you both. My dad had cancer many years ago, and he pulled through. It is an awful journey, though. You both are in my thoughts.

Believe it or not, I actually paused for a moment!

I was torn between the two Bushes and Reagan. I had flashbacks to the Iran-Contra Affair and a big red neon sign started pulsing in my mind Treas ...

Clinton Lied? And George hasn't? Where have YOU been for the last 6 years?

The righties ran him out of town on a rail for having sex, but no one seems to care that THIS administration has lied, l ...

I drank everything I picked up. Sorry. Next time I'll get some extra vodka.

HEY!!! That's just a tease!

Honestly, Dave.

Propaganda is alive and well in the USA. Or MISinformation. or DISinformation.

Or LIES. However one wants to cut it.
