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

12:31 pm
harpjane

Everything else was connected by underground tunnels because it's so cold in GBay
12:32 pm

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

And I never followed the Badgers at all. Madison has a pretty good harp school in the music department.
12:34 pm

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.
12:36 pm

7:32 pm

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

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

Dorrit, use 4 letters for Clinton instrument.
7:42 pm

7:45 pm
Ankhorite

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
bonkler

jumping into it not so much

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

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!

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

8:17 pm
Ankhorite

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.
