No -- took lessons as a kid, loved it -- always on the move, no piano. Goofed off when in residence at McGill, playing piano when nobody else was in the common room to hear my stumbling efforts.

ooh, missed your question earlier, kimm...
"monkeying" (or in my case "automated typewriter") is to type in a series of letters at random and hope it is an actual word (or in my case drop the keyboard repeatedly and hope it lands on the keys to make a word)
2:00 am

as for "who is" questions, I'm not in the best position to answer those ;o)

well, you could whistle. "whenever i feel afraid... i hold my head erect... and whistle a happy tune... so no one will suspect... i'm afraid"

or I could stop analysing the conditions that produce thunder and accept this as a normal thunderstorm ;o)

and I could also stop worrying about the walk/bus ride to work tomorrow >.<

if you can do these things, then yes, that would probably work well. :)

I work at a 24 hour facility that has to maintain coverage. Our employees are always torn when the weather turns. If the state calls an inclement weather day, that excludes us. We take our belongings to work with us if it appears bad weather might set in. Luckily, we're in the south so bad weather days are few.

I find it very dispiriting to see the low level of so-called "news" stories - medical "discoveries," bedbug alerts, highway accidents, etc. when so much more is being left out
3:41 pm

I enjoy television, for ball games and some shows, but. lately I have been offing it more and more.

3:43 pm

there's a lot of real news that's not coming across to most people, dfm, I agree - I read Harper's and the Atlantic for in-depth analysis and investigative reports

9:03 pm
herinfernallady

I would like to ask you guys does anyone know the stuff that is like gravel but not and like clay that you put down in your garden to prevent weeds?
9:03 pm
herinfernallady

HI Pini
9:03 pm
Nef

hi herin. Nice entry! ;-)
9:03 pm
herinfernallady

Hi Nef. and DIane and DC
9:03 pm
Pinikula

the red stuff, herin? kinda like lava gravel?
9:03 pm
dcseain

i think it's what we here call pigeon gravel, perhaps, herin?
9:04 pm
Nef

or pea gravel, or marble dust?
9:04 pm
Nef

or mulch?
9:04 pm
herinfernallady

No it isn't red. That stuff is a nightmare. It was on Martha Stewart and they went ot a garden that had it as a layer on the floor. It was organic stuff
9:05 pm
Pinikula

hmmm ... thinking
9:05 pm
dcseain

cocoa mulch?
9:06 pm
herinfernallady

Seain that is toxic to dogs
9:06 pm
herinfernallady

The worse thing is I can see the stuff but can't think of it
9:07 pm
dcseain

hay? or salt hay?
9:07 pm
dcseain

can you describe colour and texture?
9:08 pm
herinfernallady

It was fawn and like clay but not sticky and like gravel put not lumpy
9:09 pm
dcseain

from her site: Martha's favorite mulch is a local product called ''Sweet Peat''; it's made of composted stable bedding.

This stuff is more for walking on than digging in
9:12 pm
dcseain

many mulches are used as pavers here, esp in gardens
9:12 pm
jillibus

bark mulch?
9:12 pm
dcseain

evening, jilli
9:13 pm
jillibus

It's used here quite a bit, for paths and such, also to keep down weeds in flowerbeds, but it's not sticky -- more like prickly.
9:13 pm
jillibus

Hi dc -- long time!
9:13 pm
dcseain

indeed. i've been playing a bit less of late, as i've been busy socially.
9:14 pm
dcseain

hope things are well with you.
9:14 pm
herinfernallady

Nope not bark mulch. I guess I am going to have to wander to the garden centre. She had a Garden cafe on her show and be damned if I can think what it was
9:14 pm
jillibus

I have a mere 102 left -- another no-hoper -- still have to get supper. So busy with Chritsmas stuff.

9:20 pm
dcseain

9:20 pm

9:20 pm

9:23 pm
dcseain

9:23 pm
Pinikula

9:23 pm
jillibus

9:24 pm
Pinikula

oh, I guess it is (running thru the numbers...was blending 2 with 1)
9:24 pm
jillibus

9:24 pm

and congrats une!
11:54 pm

11:55 pm
dfmchfhf

yeah, the CBoR barely exists.
11:55 pm
jmcnrick

too bad. although the bush supreme court has pretty much gutted our 4th and 5th amendments
11:56 pm
dfmchfhf

I think we love our CCRF though :o)
11:57 pm
jillibus

I felt the US Bill of Rights is too contentious just now, so here's Christmas Shopping. I'm having a sabbatical from contentious subjects.
11:57 pm
dfmchfhf

although... I don't think a lot of people would have loved it enough to read through the official abridged version at age 13 and the full document at 17 for leisure :o/
11:58 pm
jmcnrick

contentious? *baffled*
11:58 pm
