cool photo, pappa, i went to UWGB in the 70's
12:26 pm
smooth_pappa
are you from montana origianlly? if so, what took you from there to UWGB? Actually, if you aren't from wisconsin at all, what was the draw to UWGB?
12:27 pm
harpjane
I'm from Montana, wanted to see something out of state. I was in an exchange program and UWGB looked interesting, as a sort of alternative education
12:28 pm
harpjane
I did a Social Work internship in Manitowoc
12:28 pm
smooth_pappa
cool! I did a similar sort of program in Washington DC... But I never went to a UW school. I also went out of state. But I do love living in Madison
12:29 pm
harpjane
It was an odd time to be in Wisconsin, just a year or two after the math building in Madison was bombed.
12:30 pm
smooth_pappa
Oh yeah... It's still talked about now and then, but that was before my time, so I don't remember that in person
12:30 pm
harpjane
The whole university system had rules prohibiting large gatherings of students so the only student union building on campus was a long walk from the main campus
12:30 pm
smooth_pappa
wow! what a strange time that must have been!

Everything else was connected by underground tunnels because it's so cold in GBay

It was the all-time worse season the Packers ever had, I think. Dan Devine was the coach. Lombardi had just left.
12:32 pm
harpjane
And there were no Sunday church services when the Packers had a home game.
12:33 pm
smooth_pappa
for all the wonderful history and tradition that the packers can claim, they sure have had some rough patches. lol

12:34 pm

you know... I always looked at wisconsin as a place to ecape from, until I moved out of state... man! after 4 years of college, I couldn't wait to get back here! lol
12:35 pm
harpjane
the U.P. and upstate Wisconsin--probably the only place I could stand to live other than western Montana
12:35 pm
smooth_pappa
do you live in a city in montana, or rural area?
12:36 pm
harpjane
well, my "rule for self" is to have breakfast before noon, so I'd better go. There aren't really cities in Montana but I live south of what we call a city (Missoula) in a small town called Hamilton.

7:03 pm
Ankhorite
Thank you, got Spanish hour, Bonkler.
Fran, OR plus cross plus something else???
7:04 pm
Angb
Smooth - Guy Fawkes day is still celebrated here too. But the government is threatening a bnan on fireworks so it may be the last.
7:04 pm
FranMag
yes ankh, ends with plural letter
7:04 pm
bonkler
or cross plural
7:04 pm
Angb
Maybe they think we will blow them up - now there's a thought!
7:04 pm
Ankhorite
Frank, thank you thank you, Bonkler too, NEVER heard of that.
7:04 pm
smooth_pappa
a ban on fireworks??? WHAT??? fire hazard or something?
7:04 pm

7:05 pm
FranMag
it shows up a lot ankh, you'll see it again! :-)
7:05 pm
Ankhorite
^^ sigh ^^ I'm sure I will, Fran.
7:05 pm
FranMag
peri, one th5/12 is possessive pronoun
7:06 pm
FranMag
the other just change the last letter, old word for landowner.
7:06 pm
periwinkle
Fran I have that as the 3rd th5/12
7:06 pm
Angb
We must protect the children - 1 or 2 get hurt each year - hmmm - it seems that there are many irresponsible people. Don't get me started - we stop things here because a small minority of parents can't supervise their kids.
7:07 pm
FranMag
the third th5/12 is skinny with a vowel at the end
7:07 pm
periwinkle
that is the one I have Fran
7:07 pm
helenkeller
ang - there is a ban on firworks in chicago & one july 4th i watched from the top of a friend's highrise - the comment was made that it looked just like beirut

7:07 pm

can't figure out the possessive pronoun th5
7:08 pm
Ankhorite
I used to love as well as fear fireworks. But my GOSH, now they scare me... so many parents get drunk and THEN start lighting them... a parent kittycorner from us had his kids firing bottle rockets at MY roof, not on purpose, just stupid and/or high.
7:08 pm
smooth_pappa
study king james peri
7:08 pm
bonkler
peri it was all th*** fault
7:08 pm
FranMag
the second th5/12 is how you say something belongs to those people...that is th*** stuff
7:08 pm
Ankhorite
We have sparklers at 4th of July and that's it. Area too dense for anything else except municipal fireworks.
7:08 pm
helenkeller
one the other (or maybe the same) hand - we take up a collection on our block & the kid next door goes to indiana & buys between $2500 - $3000 worth of illegal fireworks - cops will stop at the end of our block just to watch the display :)
7:08 pm
Ankhorite
Good clue, Pappa.
7:09 pm
periwinkle
ok thanks Fran and bonkler, got the 2nd th5/12 still looking for the first one
7:09 pm
FranMag
peri, just change the last letter to another consonant
7:09 pm
Ankhorite
Helen, out in Franklin Park, the new population there fires actual GUNS for July 4 and New Year's, straight up... they forget, the bullets come down, and some years, they kill someone.
7:09 pm
smooth_pappa
good lord! we have massive fireworks celebrations for independence day. it's illegal except for the sanctioned events... butr like that stops anyone. lol
7:10 pm
Ankhorite
Peri, what are thy goods? They are th***.
7:10 pm

yeah ankh - those are the real idiots - i was trained to shoot by someone who was in the army & he had me learn to disassemble, clean & reassemble a gun before we ever went to the range - that's what i think they should do - if you're caught with a gun & can't do those things, off to jail you go

7:24 pm

lol no... I had that movie on my computer for nearly a week... just got around to watching it, and it revolves around guy fawkes. lol
7:24 pm

peri, lower part of your leg.
7:32 pm

fran - i'm sure jacula will have a definite opinion :)
7:32 pm
Ankhorite
Yeah, let's ask Jac, she'll know. Well, Pappa, I'm just not able to figure it out but it sounds like what Fran said at first, burning him in effigy doesn't sound like they were on his side! :)
7:33 pm

thanks Fran, it was right in front of my face

Peri, lower front part. If THAT is in front of your face, how on EA*** are you typing/

7:37 pm

the point of it was so people didn't forget what happens if you try to commit treason, as far as I know, kids are taught about how terrible he was but noone really talks about why it's a holiday

also guy fawkes was just the guy who got caught, there was a whole conspiracy behind it, so I don't know why everyone only remembers him
7:41 pm
FranMag
so, at this point it's probably celebrated because everyone just likes fireworks! :-)
7:41 pm
smooth_pappa
it looks like a lot of his support started to fall away the last day or two.
7:41 pm
Dorrit
hey fran - i know what clinton played and what's on the bathroom floor but theres still another letter ...
7:41 pm
kthdsn
definitely, and toffee apples
7:41 pm
Ankhorite
That King -- James 1 -- headed up some Catholic persecutions, so... hmm. Well, every culture likes to have some kind of fire fests at this time of year, and at solstice.
7:41 pm
Ankhorite
Dorrit, use 4 letters for Clinton instrument.
7:42 pm

7:45 pm

I can go along with "Bonfire Night" just fine. Although the Catholics traditionally had theirs on Midsummer Eve, calling it St. John's Eve. A fire to light all night, the shortest night of the year. And jumping over it was supposed to give luck for a year.
7:45 pm

jumping into it not so much

when he was little, he had the hugest snout, i swear it's never grown, just his body caught up, also his nose was pink (no longer), one eye went one way, one went the other (since resolved), one ear up & one ear down (that still happens) he also had a very pronounced black widow's peak (since faded), but he was the weirdest looking thing ever -he's grown up quite cute though & is a great, happy, obedient doggie :)

Well done autumn
8:12 pm
helenkeller
fran - wow, you remembered! impressive!!! yep, she's all pretty much back to normal, her coat is taking a while to grow in where they shaved her & she also no longer sleeps in my bed with me (the sceme of the crime) but rather in her bed - it's weird, she'll lay next me until it's almost time to turn off the light & the off she goes to her own bed
8:12 pm

it only took me 6 hours!!! (well, between walking the dog, going out for a smoke, and eating)
8:12 pm

Helen, we just fostered a dog for two weeks, that should hold me for a while -- she went to her PERFECT family, we're very happy about that. She's in the woods now -- her new family has 275 acres for weekends! WEEKENDS!

8:13 pm
helenkeller
ankh - that sounds awfully similar to 'the dog went to the farm' LOL - but i'm glad for the pup - how do you foster dogs?
8:14 pm
FranMag
kitrine, it's a raspy breathing noise.
8:14 pm
Ankhorite
Two ways: you know from the start you will be a foster; or you think you're adopting a dog forever, and find out you can't. She was the latter; the pound did not know she could scale a 5' fence as if 'twere nuthin'.
8:14 pm
FranMag
that was st7
8:15 pm
Kitrine
I don't quite get that one fran.
8:15 pm
FranMag
st7 sounds like one who st6/21s, but different vowel at the end.
8:15 pm
helenkeller
we also take in strays & sometimes lenny will use a serious biter for his guard dog business - once we had 2 dogs who had litters & altogether there were 17 dogs in the house, lol - yep, an experience you only want to go through once

German Shorthaired Pointer (my breed) and only 5 years old with a strong, strong, strong prey drive. She jumped over the 4' fences without even touching; the 5' were almost as fast.
