there once was a girl from the west
who dressed in an old leather vest
she had not a care
and no underwear
but developed a rash on her breast

i'm mindlessly surfing the net tonight, both boards i post to are deader then door nails, and i don't have the mental ware with all to look for anything new...just not up to the effort to look for anything interesting...i guess it's time for bed.......

(rant) i keep getting one popup that tells me that the time on my conputer is probably wrong, and wants me to download some program to fix it( and god knows what else that got bundled with it)....my only comment is who gives a fast crap if its wrong or right...not me ....i'm not at work...i've got a perfectly good clock over my computer desk which i religiously ignore...because i'm home...i'm relaxing...i don't give a hoot what time it is...at work i have a job that is totally dictated by the clock...i'm sure as heck not going to live my down time that way.....(/rant)

got everything done i could today but will have to work most of tomorrow morning....drat......went out to dinner and will most likely spend the rest of the night surfing........was on the prowl for a news item to link to and comment but all i can find is either too depressing or too mudane...

this has got to be some kind of a record, lost most of my archives and had to republish for the first time in 3 days....now that's news...

day has calmed right down and everything is running smoothly, so all hell has got to break loose anytime now, not only is it a friday but it's an end of month friday, it cannot be a calm, smooth, easy day. that would defy the laws of nature......

DNA Discoverer: Use Genetics To Improve IQ if i may qoute in part from the article ""If you really are stupid, I would call that a disease," James Watson, 75, the American biologist who in 1953 co-discovered the structure of the molecule for life with Britain's Francis Crick, was quoted by The Times of London as saying.The lower 10 percent who really have difficulty, even in elementary school, what's the cause of it? A lot of people would like to say, 'Well, poverty, things like that.' It probably isn't. So I'd like to get rid of that, to help the lower 10 percent."" i guess that orwell and huxley weren't that far off the mark, i don't know about you but that kind of perspective scares the hell out of me, i just don't think we know enough about it to go manipulating our genetic code, either by engineering or cloning....besides in science, particularly medical science, today's breakthrough all to often becomes tomorrow's nightmare.....

this may prove to be a long day, i've got several things that need to be done TODAY!!....and this day is starting out to be one of those hurry up and wait days...everything is happening in slow motion...and if i don't get it all done there is no "well i'll do it monday" because this is month end, i'll either have to finish it tonight or work a bunch of hours tomorrow, i rerally hate working on the weekends, i got nothing else planned , it's just the principal

have added some new pictures to the attic, tried to do it earlier but had difficulty accessing the site, busy time probably.......watched survivor...what a riot so far the women's tribe is basically kicking the men's collective butts...i never thought that the men would win easy i figured it would be close which it might still prove to be but i never firgured this would happen...you go girls.......

well i got a call that the transfer wasn't done, so i went back to work to shuttle a few critical supplies just in time to see the transfer driver exchanging trailers...well that's one wasted trip.......

sitting before my pc, diet dr pepper in hand, waiting for other shoe to drop...got a possible problem at work...will know what's shaking by 6 pm ...may have to return for an hour or so to deal with it..just checking my boards and email and reading some sites..have my fingers crossed....

Bush: Ending Saddam's regime will bring stability to Mideast, i'm sorry but IMHO this is just wishful thinking, i just don't wash.....it will only underline in the arab's mind that the US is solidly pro-isreal and not to be trusted...removing saddam will if anything destabilize the region... it fails to take in account that no body in that region wants to co-exist, the jews and the arabs will never see each other as equals, and i doubt that peace is possible.....

U.S. terror threat level drops to yellow finally maybe now i can get delivery on the plastic sheeting i've ordered. we use this in the plant in our palletizing operation. i haven't been able to get any because of the run on it. maybe now the supply will go back to normal. i know petty and selfish....but dang i'm a troll,,,those are some of my good points...

It�s been a strange day so far, although we�re just a day away from month end, today does not appear to be a bad one. But things are just not falling in a reasonable order, I go to do the next job and get interrupted by something else. Took me 3 attempts to run a spreadsheet but finally got that done. I�ve tried to sit down, take my brake and write this to post and have been interrupted 3 times already trying to do this. I�m about to pull my hair out, but it�s getting a little thin and I really have no desire to look like Kojac (sic?).

Dang�interrupted again�I�m beginning to think that this post is a lost cause. Although several people on know with free taggies now have smilies again, I still do not. I one hand I really don�t give a crap whether I�ve got them or not. However on the other I think there is a principal involved here. No a major one for sure, but a principal none the less. I hear by resolve to keep my big fat mouth shut. Nah�. To much fun to complain.

i've got an early in tomorrow and i sit here with the dregs of a cup of tea, have had very little internet time tonight, had to go out for a while and have been kind of zonked, 6 hours today on forklift in a whse at about 10*F will do that to you........but i really am not tired mentally...so may cruise for a while, 2fan's smilies are working again but mine aren't, i guess i should have kept my big trap shut.....Big Taggie is watching.....actually i hated 1984....much perfered brave new world....but there you go.....

it evening and as i type this i'm trying to balance a cat on my lap, she is behaving better than her one "sister" who loves to lay accross my mouse hand, and is into butt typing....i'd like to blame all my typo's on the cats but that would be unfair....actually i have a freudian keyboard, my fingers keep slipping on it.......(rimshot).......

this is one of those days that the winter weather has really screwd up about 6 hours getting done what normally would take maybe 3....and have more or less frozen my arse off.....i really feel like that old song "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" might be the only way i'm goning to feel warm......anyhow been busy all day...but have not really accomplished much.......

it'd below zero again this morning and i have a heavy day at the whse. on tap....dang.....late feb. and it's still very cold...as i have mentioned in the past it's times like this that i have no respect for the theory of global warming.....from where i sit i would rather believe in the coming of a new ice age.....

i just realized that except for changing some headers i haven't added anything to the blog in weeks...true i've set up the poetry corner and the attic... but except to post have done little here....of course there is very little room left....i may do a little house keeping and remove some stuff to make room for something new but really haven't given it seriuos thought

went to change my imood tonight and was very upset that one of the option sfor mood was not "lower then whale sh*t"...i think i'll email the staff there an suggest it.........

anonymous 4....le bele marie...a collection of 13th century french songs and tea......i'm tried tonight and not really thinking very clearly..........now anyone who reads this from time to time would probably say that that is a fairly normal condition for me but this is even worst the usual.....this winter has really beat me up both physically and mentally as well...was looking for news to link to and comment on but everything i could find was way to depressing and i'm down enough tonight........

this article is what could have happened in a debate between Bush and Suddam, i like it,read it here

here an article about some one who took his job way to seriously,Chef 'suicide' after critics' attack

(rant)back into the pit of my despair ( altough i'm sure my boss would object to that discription of the place)....but as i've said before if you can't take a joke........had a rather rude tag on a team blog i'm on (mayhem and mischief...link is over there on the right somewhere)...i get a charge out of them...first i really don't give a crap what people think of my ideas.... but this is the net....it's really simple...if it offends you.....if you find it silly or a waste of time....don't read it....don't go to the site......it's not like it's a popup...no body forced you to go to the site.....and nobody is forcing you to stay........and oh by the way...don't let the virtual door hit you in your virtual arse on the way out.....and altough the means is there on the taggie they never leave an email addie or a url so i can see their positive contribution to the net......so what does that tell you (/rant)

haydn's Lord Nelson Mass and a diet cherry coke....although red wine and crackers would probably be more appropiate ( was that a papal excommunication i just heard) oh well if you can't take a joke.......i original bought the cd as a pratice copy......i had the chance to sing the work with the local choral society about 2 years ago.....had not sung that style of music for nye on to 30 years at the time and to go back to the style with that piece was a stretch...and i needed all the extra pratice i could get....the ist tenor part is a real bear....but now it's one of my favorite masses....and i don't generally care for haydn.........tough piece but really a nice sound............

when my page has been loading laterly i keep getting an error, could not figure out what in the world was causing it, not that i'm a wizz when it comes to code but i haven't done anything lately.........finally dawned on me that one of the feed was missing.......removed the code and i'm error free, well anyway my code is now error free, heck if you removed the errors and flaws from my personality i won't have one......

also it's not you when smilies don't work on the tag board...they (that is tag board) have disabled them on free boards as they put it "until a later date"......reminds me of the cartoon that has the "he said/she heard" gags.....

taggie says:"until further notice"
trollie heard:"until hell freezes over"...........(hehe)

now i wonder why they did that........(trollie hears in the backgroud money clinking)

look like they've disabled smilies on the free tag board......but what the hey....i guess i could up grade and pay for it...nah.....i'm cheap......but well i guess they have to make a living too, but not off of me.....

quiet day at work but the rest of the week is shaping up as being a real monster....so i guess i'll just have to keep my nose to the grind stone as it were...

Soggy shoes head for Alaska, not an important story but i get a kick out of it, seems that 3 containers of nike shoes went over the side of a ship and 1000's of them are in the ocean floating towards alaska, just one of those whimsical things that i find very funny......

The US against France; a defining moment for world politics or a wasted opportunity very interesting article on arabic news.com, talk about taking a hardline.....don't know if i agree or not but it is an interesting point of view.

it's another monday, another start of the work week, another descent into the pit, i'm getting very tried of this cycle....winter came back with a vengence over the weekend.....come on spring......

i realized that i posted 5 times this am and not since, been home but working on the attic, and also got posting to bitchfest, while trying to watch the golf on the tube....and somehow forgot about the blog........i've been a bad boy........

just came in from cleaning off the car, it's now snowing just a little, and better half suggested that it would be a good idea to get the ice off before it got covered up......so i went out to start the car so i could run the defroster and rear window heater so the ice would come off easier, that is somewhere between 1/4-3/8 of an inch of ice, but first you must open the door, after about 5 minutes of chipping ice i managed that normally easy process.......got it all cleaned off but even with the heaters running involved a lot of effort.......

i thought it might be interesting to take some photos of the mess outside with the digi...this is nothing compared with a couple of icestorms we've had in the past but still got a couple of good pics...you can view them here

faure is in the machine and will listen to it again.....not just the lazy man's response...but i truly love his music, his requiem speaks to me on multiple levels......in fact the fact that it is in latin doesn't bother me at all....i've sung enough masses at this point that i pretty much understand what is being sung without translation.....apparently the weather man missed the forcast a little ( so what's new) we have a nice 1/2" coating of ice on everything this morning, quite beautiful really, as long as it is observed from inside..lost power breifly...but it's back on now and still have cable........but church is cancelled, and i have no intention of going out, i will drive thru a lot of snow, one must when living in watertown...but ice i will not mess with..........

haven't watched any tube tonight, so was messin' round the blog and noticed we're under a severe weather alert, possibility of freezing rain until 11 pm and then 3 to 6 inches of snow in the early am with 20-30 mph winds, lovely........this has been probably the worst winter we've had in a few years and frankly i've had just about enough, check that, i've had way more then enough of this crap...........spring is just around the corner and while it may be true that in spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love, and old trolls fancy turns to thoughts of golf ( there rick i do think about something other then sex)...........

i must remember to play some handel tomorrow in honor of his birth, he'll be a younger 318 tomorrow, maybe i'll send him an email birthday card........

it's been a quiet day, have spent sometime adding somethings to the attic (link on the right), doing a little surfing and just kicking back, i've been extremely lazy, never bothered to get dressed this morning,,,,has felt good......but need to go out for a while , just a few things to do, would rather stay in but ........also made a few minor changes to the blog, different headers over on the links section, a bit larger then i had intended but i think i like the effect even if it was achieved accidentally.......i find that sometimes things that work out the best are not really the result of prior planning or brilliant aforethought but simply a fortunate accident....

i have spent sometime this morning putting down on paper my personal response to terrorism, well not on paper but in the form of 0's and 1's. i will not post it here because of lenght and because it really is not in keeping with the general tenor of this site. from time to time i may do this and if you'd like to read it you can find it here. i am many sided, and as friend rick is fond of reminding me not all the sides seem to go together, i sometimes see myself as being made up of pieces of several differnt puzzles, which to me fit together but to others seem to be a just a jumble of unrelated parts....i just love to keep people guessing

have added some pictures from museum at blue mountain lake to the attic, you can veiw them here

neat site found by evil edna on bitchfest googlefight check it out really a gas

the billygoat was fresh and quite good..........am in for the night........faure and tea.......has been quite warm the last few days ...high 30's low 40's F and although not really warm by comparision to what's it been it feels very warmer, but will turn colder again next week if the weather man is correct........that must be a great job, they get paid for being right about 25% of the time.......

day is done, just getting ready to shut down and head out for the weekend, a little dinner and then just kick around for the entire weekend, i'm tired and i need the rest......i do hope the billygoat is fresh at my local bistro......

"An explosion rocked an oil storage facility at the edge of Staten Island, sending black smoke and flames hundreds of feet into the air. Authorities said there was no indication of terrorism"....we have had explosions and fires in plants, refineries...etc...for years, but it is interesting how profoundly 9/11 has changed us, before if the possibility of terrorism was even mentioned, it would be mentioned last or as an aside, now it seems that it's the first thought that anyone has at a time like this......

i'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, it's been basically a very smooth running, quiet day......which is exactly what i need, which is exactly why i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.......fridays are never smooth and quiet around here.....

i'm feeling the affects of prolonged fork lift driving yesterday.....my back is very tender this morning and i perfer to remain standing, on the face of it this should be a realitively easy day but fridays can get strange very quickly

have spent what internet time i had tonight working in the attic. but wasn't happy with the first template.........but its time for survivor........don't say it.......because i'm hooked and it won't do you any good

i spend sometime hanging out at two different boards, both inhabited by bloggers......links to both over on the right.....(blogboard and bitchfest).......the bulk of the members ( or at least those who post) on blogboard are guys and on bitchfest are girls, it kind of reminds me of the third grade, boys sit on the right and girls sit on the left, yes Mrs Stern, no i didn't throw a spit ball on the girls side of the room......( a response usually followed by a loud "wack"), i think the funniest thing is that the basically guys board is very serious for the most part, and very little bad language, but the gals board, basically they let it all hang out......but then it was a lesson i learned at about 19 years of age when while working as a bouncer in a public library (that's a different story i'll tell one day) i also had to clean the restrooms, now i was used to the level of vulgarity that graced the stall walls in the boys room, but having grow up thinking that girls were somehow different, and would not do something like write vulgar things on john stalls it was an eye opener.....it made the guys stuff look like it came out of the weekly reader........but the day i almost lost it ( that is my supper) was the day i found something used stuck to the wall....i'll leave the actually item involved to your imagination.

what a wild day today was, i loaded/unloaded 5 loads today, thankfully it was mid 30's F so i didn't freeze my butt off, but speaking of butt i am suffering from a bad case of forklit butt/back......try driving one of those springless sob's for 8 hours someday, makes the old rocky road to Dublin ride at the fair feel smooth........plus i got nothing else done...........

have added more photo's to the attic, i'll give you three guess where i went for vacation last year, (hehe)...the first two don't count........will probably be a wild ride tomorrow...have 4 outbounds and 1 inbound that i know about, and this time of year things can crop up out of the woodwork......

have added an attic, well haven't really spent the day building an attic on the house, first of all i already had one, second of all my talent with hammer and nail would probably best be discribed as i'm a "wood butcher"......and that would be giving me the benefit of the doubt, actually if you look at the right there you'll find a link to my attic, really more a virtual shoebox for storing old photos, not much there yet, and no photo of me, i don't want to be accused of uploading a weapon of mass destruction to the web......(rim shot)

was not able to connect to blogger all day from work, got home and got right on........hmmmmm....just good timing or is there a problem with the system at work........no idea.....

tom (qc54) tagged about the crows, apparently they were roosted over in his neighborhood last night, and we ain't talking 4 or 5. we're talking 100's, they love the big old trees, and let's face it, their singing voices aren't the most melodic....they used to hang over here but in the last ten years or so we've had 2 major ice stoems and a micro burst and most of the old growth trees are gone, really a shame except we don't get those dang crows anymore. it's kind of a running gag between tom and i about sending down a curse of crows on the other........

okay so i didn't throw myself in the river, and as IS pointed out it's frozen anyway, and the best i could hope for was to bounce off,....elgar and tchaik, combination of their were in the machine and i didn't fihish listening to them the other night, and a cup of hot tea........warmed up considerably today may even hit the 40's F by weeks end, however after living here for 36+ years i'm not decieved by the warming trend, we probably have at least 4 to 6 weeks more of winter, before we can hope for any truly nice weather

this day has been nothing short of an absolute nughtmare. i think the clown car pulled in behind me, and i spent the entire day trtying to stuff them back in only to find they snuck out the other side, i was going to wait to post til i got home but i have to cross the river on the way home and i thought of throwing myself in, but not to worry the way this day is going if i tred to throw myself to the ground i'd probably miss........

a bit warmer here this morning and they say that it will be in the 30's F and rain toward weeks end.........with the snow pack we have i hope that it doesn't melt off too fast or the old black river which sits about 50 yds from where i sit will be over the banks again, and that's never fun......i live well out of the danger area from flooding but work right next to the river, ah the joys of spring.......

after 3 days of trying i finally got a network card to work, and got plugged into the router first time so i'm now flying round the internet saying "beep! beep!", the fact that i don't have to deal with the aggravation of att dial up anymore is worth the extra money...

here we go again, about an hour ago i got a call that the truck was 10 minutes away....well it's an hour + later and it hasn't got here yet, if i ever have just 10 minutes to live, i know who i want keeping time.........sheeeshhhhh!!!!!!!

the momma's and the poppa's (sic?)really had it right, monday, monday can't trust that day......i had hoped to maybe sneak out thus afternoon early and try to resolve the problem getting a network card to work on my pc, but nooooooo!!!!!...they threw a late truck at me...and with the east coast storm only old man winter knows when it will get here....

elgar and tchaik is the afternoon musical fare....it's been a while since i've actually sat down and listened to much music.....or really spend any amount of surfing time......i really should be watching the 500 because it will be the hot topic at work for the next week but frankly it bores me....i guess i'll just read the cliff notes.....(hehe).......besides i can piskup enough from one to con the others into thinking i watched it........

i feel like daeth warmed over this morning, have had serveral both physically demanding and mentally frustrating days in a row, and it's finally come home to roost.......need to get out this morning but think i'll cut it short......still very cold up here.....

got road runner today, decided (wisely if accidently to hook to my better 2/3's machine, got the router installed, and went to put the network card on my pc so i could hook to the router, 3 hours later and untold attempts, i have surrended, and i'm posting over att, which i'm probably going to keep..........will see if renee the IT guy at work can tell me what i've done wrong......

a boy went out on a bender
tried to lay a girl on his fender
but try as he would
she fell off the hood
it seems he couldn't suspend her

still cold, had hoped tp popin and popout of work this AM just long enough to get the daily numbers pounded into the system, yah right, 3 1/2 hours later, 2 of which were spend in the oft mentioned warehouse i got out of there....seeeeshhhhh!!!!!!!.....

it's about 10*F right now but this morning i think it was "oh my god i've frozen my ying-jang"-25*F, and i've probably spent 6 hours today in a barely heated warehouse, i think i need to call a heating expert because i'm sure my pilot light has gone out, and i do mean mine, not the warehouses......3 loads, and 2 of the 3 were complicated......why can't they scedule that i nice days.....

Goodbye Dolly, interesting article on what i guess could be termed as the premature death of dolly the cloned sheep.....

well he 's not going to make it, resceduled for 8:30 AM tomorrow........that gives me 3 loads....2 time consuming ones....probably 5-6 hours in a barely heated warehouse, in watertown, in the winter time, lovely....

i'm sitting here waiting for a truck to arrive that i need to load for the piers.....it was due at 10 AM which makes it about 3 hours late, but then it's snowing like the dickens south of us and 81 was partial closed, but i hope he gets here soon, need about 2-21/2 hours for the load, and i'm not feeling 100% today.....really not in the mood to work any OT.......
the next series of survivor starts tonight so my location on thursday's at 8 pm will be sure for the next several weeks....i really have no idea why i've gotten hooked on that show, i find most of the "reality" tv to be siily and a waste of good, surfin', bloggin' or golfin' time....

i've lost my archives so many times today i've lost count..........sheessshhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

been blogging like crazy tonight, spent sometime trying to help bob, i think i solved his problem, check that i think i solved the problem with his blog, nobody could solve his underlying problems.......have spent sometime digging thru my archives and have extracted all the poetry, it can now be found in one place. most is just wit and fun but there are a few serious nuggets in there, will probably not update that site a lot, and most will probably appear here first, and then i'll just move them over there for storage

Winter surrounds me
The wind
The snow
The cold
Chill the soul
More then the body

I�m like a bear
Hibernating

Like a frozen pizza
Longing for the oven

Spring seems to be an eternity away

I reach for it
It seems so close
I stretch but
I cannot reach

It fades away
And then reappears
Each time just
Out of reach

But soon
When I least expect
It will sneak up
It will touch me

And like the phoenix
I will rise
But not from ashes
But from ice

For a brief moment
All is well

But
Winter�s
Comin�

if you glance at the taggie "g" is my crazy clerk.......trying to pull my leg and get me going....now what dirty.stinking,rotten job can i find for him to do this afternoon

i only posted once yesterday which is some kind of a record, actually tried to post twice last night, once blogger ate it and the other time att kicked me off mid post.......well that's my story and i sticking to it.....i think i've mentioned it before but i've come to understand that att stands for "always tick'n'off trolls.......but an end to my misery is in site.....the cable connection will be installed saterday....Road runner the trollies after you, road runner if he catches you he's thru... to the internet at speed here to only dreamed
of.....
HIV infection rates appear to be rising in USA
yah i know, downer of an article but one cannot be too carefull.........

i have had a very hectic day so far, one of those days when i just barely get one job started and then am interupted by 3 or 4 other things all more important then the first, i think i've finally got a handle on it but have one nagging little problem that i just can't make go away.....partially my fault.....i took somebodies word for something and ran out of time to double check it and went with it........it seems that everytime i conquer my paranoia and don't triple check something it always jumps up and bites me in the butt.....this one isn't serious, just annoying

have not written much this evening, although i do tend to be a bit of a binge blogger, but have an excuse tonight and tomorrow, USA network is carring the westminister dog show live, although not currently a dog owner, cats make better pets in town imho, i love the dog show......and have been watching that tonight rather then surfing.......

i have discovered a truly crazy bunch of bloggers over at bitchfest, pop over and take a look, while worth the trip.....i haven't had so much fun since, well....i don't remember........

Alcohol Overflows, Runs Into City Sewer System
, i'm really wondering about myself today, i read this article and all i can see is a mental image of people with straws stuck down sewer drains...........

was talking to another one of the guys and work and he's started a blog also, it's kinda funny really. i'm really not a pro at this blog deal, still really a newbie myself having only started in Oct '02, but it's been where do find this how do you do that, but i guess that sometimes helping others learn is the best way to learn yourself......will post bobs link later...got to go

what i surpise, had looked out side about 7:30 and just a little snow on the car, went out about 8:45 and we had abour 4-5 inches of fresh snow, by the time i got home 12:00 noon we had got maybe another 4 or 5" man it was coming down already in drifts, but hasn't snowed for maybe 5 hours now....plows have gone thru so must, once more to the drive.......

have much to do today, should be getting ready as i need to leave the house in less then a half an hour, but i sit here surfing, and writting to my blog, still in my nightie ( ok not really a nightie, sweat pants and tee but they are my sleep clothes)....this is a day that everything i do will probably be done out of duty, by rote, and because i said i would, but will have very little to do with what i really at this minute want to do......

oh where oh where have my archives gone
oh where of where can the be
i've republished so much and sung my song
oh where oh where can they be.......

if anyone would like to join my grass roots campaign for the total destruction of popups and those who use them (we may even tilt with a few windmills on the way), leave me a message............your $500 entry fee is optional (hehe)

i think that i would like to added to the axis of evil, the guy who invented popups, and anyone who uses them, yah i know probably not a weapon of mass destruction( although i think the jury is still out) but certianly a weapon of mass irritation, and it's not nice to irritate mother troll........i guess the two that i hate the most are 1- the dang search page which after i "X" it out has the balls to throw up one that asks me if i want to make it my home page, dang i won't make it my worst enemies home page ( but i might do it to mischief just to piss him off) 2- but the worst IMHO has got to be the popup that's trying to sell me software to block popups.........i just can't fathom the level that one must sink to, to place that kind of an ad, "YO haven't you ever heard of a banner, stupid".........

light snow this AM, in and of itself nothing to fret about, but it's also quite windy so visibility is poor, need to get daily production numbers plugged into the system, have a few other jobs i could do but nothing that can wait until monday.....over on the team blog (links over on the right mayhem and mischief)...the evil mischief refered to me the other day as elderly.....probably because he knew it would get my goat....and you know how fond we trolls are of our goats...anyway i went off on him pretty good, but today, this AM anyways i feel elderly.....so maybe as well as being a pain in the butt, mischief is also a prophet........nah....

it's late, i should be tucked in to bed, but i'm still doing a little surfing, in many ways a slow night, haven't really found anything odd or trivial to link to and comment on....it's not that i'm uninterested in major issues...it's just that most of them frustrate me so much, that i feel like i can accomplish nothing by reciting my position, one little puff of smoke in a wind storm,.....but never fear i will eventually find a cause to trump about, it will probably be meaningless and trivial, but it will be my cause, and on that basis i will get my 15 nano-seconds of fame......i'll be so ashamed too, i'll probably have on dirty undies....a friend of mine's mother when i was growing up would always tell him " put clean underwear on, you never know when you might get in an accident, and be taken to the hospital"...little did she know that he always wore clean underwear on the chance he might "get luck"....this kid would have had a better chance of getting hit by a UFO.....

have added a message board, use it if you like

anonymous 4 and a diet sierra mist.........this afternoon went to hell in a hand basket, looked like i would actually get everything done and only have to go in tomorrow just long enough to pound the daily numbers into the system........"oh did we forget to tell you about the truckload for the west coast" ...GGRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!.....so rather then stay late tonight will tack on an hour or so tomorrow to get finished for the week......have not reached any conclusion on the direction of the blofg other than i'll probably keep loading crap onto until it sinks out of sight from it's on weight.........

sandra stopped in overnight(see taggie), been a while.....but her tag started me thinking...i have somethings bouncing around in the old brain pad about direction and where to go from here on the blog...but haven't taken the time to sit down and come up with a plan...part of the problem is that i've been helping rick get his blog started (link for MacElf over on the right) and also he and i have started a team blog (mayhem and mischief,link over there some where as well) so far everything i've done here has been spur of the moment, hey i like that, slap it on the blog, really no rhyme or reason to it, no order, just general chaos....on one hand it has become a fair virtual representation of my mind....but it is also very hap-hazard......probably difficult to follow.....what to do.....well probably will hang with this for a while but then might change it tomorrow.......

i have forgiven myself for my mistake, but one more time and i'm taking myself to the woodshed i can see me now:
Trollie(the submissive) oh please punish me, beat me,beat me
Trollie(the dominant)...Noooooooooooooo....

i guess that won't work

i feel lower then whale shit this morning, in fact i think i'm the bed rock that the sand lays on that the whale shit lays on......i pride myself in double checking, triple checking, ad infinitum checking even ad nuasea checking my work, but apparently something got by me, not a big mistake..... but a mistake none the less......one that is really driving me niuts,,,as in you idiot......i find that i have a greater amount of tolerance, and compassion for mistakes in others then i do for those that i make......

just got back from choir rehersal....one of the nights when i went out of duty and habit, no out of desire....my get up and go has got up an went....have been doing a little board and blog hopping tonight...this has started to become a time consuming addiction... but i'm trying to get my shots in now because once spring comes my main addiction golf will chew up most of my time....

have found a new message board for bloggers, bitchfest, link is hiding over there on the right somewhere, under old billygoat bones, smaller then blogboard, but with an attitude that i like, check it out

Study Reverses Scoliosis Myths, interesting article the reverses previusly held opinions about scoliosis and health risks of the probem.....maybe not a biggie for most....but as i sit here with my right shoulder 4" beloiw my left and can tell you i breath easier.....

weird i was in the middle of posting...something about trying to post for the last 3 hours but getting interupted....when i don't know what i did but everything just went blank and i lost the post.....no really i mean the screen went blank. my mind never goes blank...blank is it's normal condition....oh well.......weather has taken a nasty turn, a little snow and a whole lot of wind...visibility is about nil and i live in town.....won't want to have to go outside of town tonight..........

i made a smartass remark a week or so ago about an article about a nuclear-powered rocket project....but in light of the columbia crash apparently others are questioning the project in a more serious light, Nuclear-powered spacecraft plan feared
Opponents see 'Chernobyl in sky' should vehicle fail i think that maybe they see a worst case scenario, that may even be beyond the realm of possibility, but it must a least be considered and the fears put to rest, on the other hand with some people you can't put their fears to rest, the enjoy them far too much.......

New Warning On Ephedra article should give pause to anyone who is taking any herb supplement containg epherda.

apparently a civic group in korea is thinking of sueing MS over the worm, neat article. editorial really about it here, but the best thing is the closing shot taken by the writer and i qoute "Lay off Microsoft. It's only a massive and non-carniverous rodent. "....ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

it is a wet,damp,rainy day in watertown right now, and although just in the mid 30'sF it feels warm....but it is suppose to turn colder and the rain turn to sleet and then snow, i can only hope that the transition period with the sleet is a short one, man i hate ice...unless of couse it's crushed and i find it in a mixed drink.....

the truth about my weekend shopping spree can now be told........walking though walmart i heard this voice saying " there's our father...he's abandoned us" i'm in the golf aisle at the time i look around and see nothing...i start to leave but again the voice, now tearful...."daddy take us home".......i look and realize that it's a set of dunlop irons tears staining their stainless steel (yah i know it doesn't make sense but you had to be there)...... hush i say to them....your mistaken.....then i hear " Call 911"....well what was i to do.......but i'll tell you one think for sure if those lovely little sticks don't behave on the golf couse they'll spend the rest of their lives in the garage.....i thought my troubles were over...but i guess word gets around.... while in klien's sporting goods i was accosted by a lob wedge, a 14* 3wood and 3 dozen golf balls which basically told me that if i didn't take them home they were going to brake my legs......dang what was i to do.......

i think that we have finally worked out the problems we were having setting up the team blog...actually rick worked it out...but i won't tell him he did a good job because he'll get a swelled head...anyhow it could prove interesting...

anonymous 4 and tea....i have crashed right out this evening...felt a little off all day but have gotten home, ate dinner and have just crashed, it's barely after 7 and i'm ready for bed....this winter has been hard on me....one of these years i'm going to have enough and either move south or go "postal"....

DEA Arrests Sacramento Man for Selling Opium Poppies on eBay, apparently they were listed as "being for decorative purposes. well i guess that goes to show you can really get anything you want on Ebay....

seems to have worked(see below)......

i seem to be having trouble with my archives again, so what's new.....i've republished 3 times with no change.....i'm posting this to test a theory.....

what a hassle this morning has been, watertown is divided nearly in half by the black river, and there are a limited number of bridges over it, i live on the southside but work on the northside, as i drove my normal 2 mile commute to work this AM, i discovered to my chagrin that there was a detour just before the bridge i normally use, dang, after some back tracking i was forced to use a bridge that while not really way out of the way requires making a left on to route 3 from a stop sigh at 7:45 in the morning, i think i must of sat there for 5 minutes before i got a hole big enough to stick my car in.....glad i left eartly thus morning...

i feel old, tired and unwell is morning, add to that i have one bad case of ohim....thought about calling in sick,,,,and i am sick....sick of working...sick of getting up early....sick of....well a whole bunch of things.......

have started a team blog with macelf....mayham and mischief links over on the right....not much there yet but i could get interesting

very busy day, what ever happened to sunday being the day of rest.....just have not really had anytime today to post or to do any surfing to speak of so there will be a lack of a link tonight....picked up some sticks this pm and 3 doz, of golf balls so am ready to play, now if the weather would just change .....oh well spring is coming.....

still faure in the player and coffee, not really the case of too lazy to get up and change it, more a case of i'm still in the same basic mood...besides the requiem is just about my favorite piece of classical music....which is kind of funny...i in general prefer music from the baroque period.....but lately have been listening to more modern music and many of my favs are now from the 20th century...i guess you can teach an old troll new tricks........

Shuttle debris illegal to sell, article deals with ebay which has pulled auctions from their site which claim to have debris of columbia for sale......i have never understood the human trait that makes an act, that is profit from a tragic event or for that matter the "i got a piece of that",possible....it's just sick..

faure and diet pepsi, some how the faure requiem seems appropiate tonight......spend the morning scouting out golf equipment, but didn't go to the 'cuse, wasn't in the mood to take the hour+ drive, have decided to buy a new set of irons, maybe a strong 3 wood, and a 60* loft wedge....probably will stock up on balls as some i like are on sale..........on one hand it will at least get me out of the cold weather funk......on the otherhand they will probably start to seduce me...teasing me...but i'll be denied fulfilment until probably april...........oh well...........

some how nothing is funny, or witty this PM and i don't feel sarcastic.....
my prayers and sympathy to the family and friends of the crew of columbia.....

edna stopped by as witnessed by the taggie, actually as i know her from blogboard edna is her surname(or maybe hername...sorry pun alert system still isn't fixed) and her given name is evil....now on to the question,was there a question...her link is over there under the header..trolls and billgoats.... i'm not sure that trolls have sex.....oops personal remark...i mean i'm not sure whether there are male/female trolls....and in any case we have a much kinder view of nannygoats.......but i was to lazy to type that in too....pop over to blogboard (gif is hiding over on the right somewhere) and read the posts of E.E. ........if not a troll yet,then surely there is that potenial....

a warm morning here, temps were in the high 30's yesterday and some of the ground snow has melted....have not put any music in yet but have my morning cup with me...
