Apparently the Justice Department gave Bush Jr. full authority to use torture in its "hunt for terror" and is now recanting the 20 page manual it gave outlining torture practices.

I called Jack in the Box today to compliment them on their good service at the location I've been going to pretty regularly, their new salads (the Greek salad is SLAMMIN'!) and to suggest a new kind of pannido sammie... the three they offer don't have any veggies (unless you specially request, like, lettuce) so I said it would be nice if they had a roasted veggies and cheese pannido -
It would have roasted peppers, onions, maybe some mushrooms, a little fresh basil, and be covered with melted provolone - the sauce on the bread would be basil mayonnaise.
mmmmmmmmmmmm..... I'll be the first one to buy it! :D

[Spicy Jack]

i'd eat it.

[Klynne]

I had my eyebrows waxed and now I have hives WTF?

[Spicy Jack]

Yep, raised welts right along where she had the wax. I have always had problems with hives...Purty!

[Spicy Jack]

[Klynne]

You should see when I get them on my eye lids. Ohhh, la, la:)

[Coffee]

aiieeee...post piccies of the lids in the Bump this thread.

[Gatsby]

The wax she used was probably too hot. That happens to me sometimes.

On another note, I'm looking for a post, can't remember who by, maybe NYC or Zenbabe (????) about "Bush's Erratic Behavior" from a couple of weeks ago.

I copied it and sent it out to some friends and it got rave reviews, and they're requesting more....

I have... but I've done catering and worked in restaurants enough to know that a) I wouldn't do it without buckets and buckets of money and b) I wouldn't want to run it myself ;) Too risky and stressful...

However - I did have an idea for a restaurant a few years ago... Who knows ;)

[Hermione]

daverbee.. I was just thinking that


Yale Law School is an extraordinary community in which to study law. Our unmatched faculty-to-student ratio allows us to offer a vast array of courses, with an average class size of under 20 students. Easy student-faculty interaction is a hallmark of the school; students enjoy countless opportunities for research and writing with professors. Law students have access to scholars in all of Yale's departments, to the University's nine-million-volume library system, and to its cultural, social, intellectual, and athletic activities. At the same time, Yale Law School has ties to the city of New Haven, a small, lively urban center with several first-rate museums and the best pizza in America.

yes.. that's why I want to go Yale Law.. for the pizza

This is the stinky dog that is living with me for the next 12 days, not that I'm counting.

[Gatsby]

The other day I was listening to the radio and I started singing along to this new song that I really hate.

I started thinking, "At what point did I memorize this song? And what point did I start to know it? Because I can sing it the whole way through, and that is information I would rather not have taking up space in my brain."

So I talked to my sister, who's got a degree in early childhood education and knows all about how our brains learn things.

She said you only have to listen to something 14 times before you know it, whether you realize it or not.

Huh.

And that got me started thinking, for some reason, about how sometimes when you're sitting somewhere with the TV on for background noise, but you're not paying attention to what's on because you're reading a book or typing on the internet. And then someone on TV says your name, or your city, or some other word that catches your attention and you stop to pay attention and you realize that you could repeat back the 3 or 4 sentences BEFORE they said the word that got your attention - even though you weren't listening, you know what's going on. Your brain, somewhere in back, was paying attention all along.

Funny how the human brain works.

[Avalon]

That never happened to me....BUT if I'm painting, and the tv is on, I can look at the painting later, and at each part i painted, I can remember what was goin on on the television that i was watching (listening to) at that time, for about 2 weeks.

"Trust me ... it's paradise.
This is where the hungry come to feed.
For mine is a generation that circles the globe in search of something we haven't tried before.
So never refuse an invitation.
Never fail to be polite.
And never outstay your welcome.
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.
And if it hurts, so what? It's probably worth it.
You hope and you dream, but you never believe that something is going to happen to you.
Not like it does in the movies.
And when it actually does?
You expect something different....
More visceral....
More real....

I was waiting for it to hit me....

i haven't had a migraine in 17 years. i used to have them nearly weekly. once i had one that lasted a month. and for those who know, yep, i got divorced 17 years ago. well, today, out of nowhere, i have one again. it's a sign from god. like the lady that gave birth to a toad.

[daverbee]

I've read that one of the best cures for a migraine is to drink as much peppermint tea as you can and lie down in a dark room for an hour. Works on my regular headaches but I have no idea how well it'd work on a migraine.

This (http://www.zefrank.com/bulletin/showthread.php?postid=173295#post173295) made me think I need to balance out karma a bit. It's also a way to say thank you all for your kindness.

I will do five (at the risk of increasing my flake factor, it is exhausting doing them, three typically is my max, but if you are patient and can wait a week or two, I will do the five). You can PM me if you are interested. Or you can post here and I will reply here, but I know this kind of thing tends to be personal.

All I need are three things: your (real) age, your hair color and your eye color. You don't have to tell me the question, it will come out anyhow. In fact I prefer that you don't because I don't want you thinking I'm precreating an answer. If you have an image online, please send me the link to it.

Spart and Av automatically get one if they want one because of personal things they're dealing with. If you're not interested ladies, it's fine, just let me know.

So first five to PM or post here, I'll do. Be warned though, I used to do this online for complete strangers and I'm very very accurate. I had one woman send me a cryptic email asking "What can you tell me about George." Turns out George was married and was never going to leave his wife. That's what the cards told me. I replied, and she flipped out. I got him down to his physical traits and personality.

If you send me a question because you want to know something specific specific, please be sure to indicate a time period in your question (because you could ask the question and it could happen 6 months from now or 6 years from now) and phrase it so it doesn't have a yes or no answer. For example, if you ask "Will I be rich?" -- instead change it to "Tell me about my life and wealth."

Also you want to ask the question that's closest to your heart. If you ask a false question and not the one that needs to be answered, it will come out anyhow.

If you want to post my reading to you at any time after you get it, feel free.

Ok, I guess that's it. Sorry, but I can't do more than five (7 including Av and Spart) ... because I write volumes in response to what I see.

HA! Just checked voicemail at work and got a message from a guy who's organizing a press conference on monday with four former Fox news reporters and producers who will go on the record saying that they were forced to change coverage to a Republican slant. Interesting, interesting.

I'm so excited! I just stopped in to pick up a very fattening, yummy breakfast at a cafe/gift shop near where I work, and the woman who owns it was there, and she's agreed to feature some of my jewelry there to see if it sells!

WOO! :D

[Klynne]

Going to Van Halen tonight. I was a little down and thought, hmmm, I will just walk over to the arena and see if they have any tix left. I got two tenth row tickets! I just need a little music is all....

Awww! Too bad DLR is no longer the front man...
My mom's bank had their account in the eighties & we went to some of their concerts - *great* shows! and I had my introduction to the world of backless cowboy pants... ;)

Sort of... they were these red leather dealies... covered up the front and had a clear back...
In those days (and I daresay now) DLR's tooshie was something you didn't mind peeking through something like that ;)

I used to think he was rather hot.
This poster hung on the wall in the first apartment I had with a roommate.
http://curvy.hotusa.org/curvygalleries/curvy/images/davidlr1.jpg

We took some liberties with it and added some features to that poster. It had detailing that wasn't straight from the printer.

Oh and that is really fantastic about your jewelry! Good for you!

[lapietra]

Thanky!

Yeah... he's hot stuff.
He was a guest DJ for a week on the local classic rock station a year or so ago... the first day I woke up to him, I was turned on all day... damn. (The rest of the week it got a little old... he only had so much material, you know? What a tough job...)

It'll be really interesting to see if it gets more than, "Oh, by the way..." coverage elsewhere in the news media!

Prince tickets are going on sale tomorrow. But, I will probably still be sleeping at 8:00 a.m. I am going to Phil Collins in September. We really do get some good acts coming through.

[Aphrodite]

I have Sarah McLachlan in August and Cirque du soleil in September.

[daverbee]

We're getting better with the new arena that just opened up last year.
Prince was here at the beginning of the year, Clapton played the week before last (I couldn't afford to go and when Vickie had enough money for tickets they were sold out!), VH is playing soon but I won't go simply because they ain't VH without DLR, and I think BB King is coming soon.
Tickets are so expensive, though, that it's still difficult to justify going.

Some lame as-wipe ripped off my hose, hose reel (a pretty nice quality one), and my very nice fiberglass handled garden shovel last night ( I finally buy a tool that will last a lifetime, and someone else gets the benefit of it).
I can't help but suspect that it was the dudes that the landlords hired to clean up around the property...who the fark else would have noticed the stuff, or even wanted it, esp. since nothing else around the property was touched??? On the other hand with out proof...what the fark can I do about it. I'm thinking I'll call the LL just to let him know what happened without pointing fingers at the gardeners....but I am pissed. I use that stuff all the time and can't afford to go replacing it. FARK!!!

[nycwriters]

His family has stopped emailing and phoning (but I'm really going to miss his sister, I adored her). He finally changed his passcode to his voicemail (which I really needed him to do because apparently I have no self control, and it was hurting me to check but I couldn't seem to stop myself -- he wouldn't change it because he kept leaving me messages) ... it's bittersweet, ya know? I know I need these things to get over it, it feels like a huge weight has finally been taken off my shoulders ... but it still leaves me melancholy.

At least I managed to understand why this breakup is hitting me harder than others ... I was pissed at myself that I was taking it so hard over some stupid guy who really didn't deserve my dedication and love ... but then I had an epiphany and realized the reason for the extreme emotion, and it all made sense.

Now to work through it.

Thank God I had you all here. Thank God. You may think I'm exagerating, but I'm not.

[daverbee]

Glad to know you're doing better, NYC!

thinking you can keep up the same pace on a recumbent bike after not working out for a week is unrealistic.

On my walk home today I discovered I live two blocks from a methadone clinic. Whee!

[Frieda]

do you think it's normal if a friend asks you to reinstall windows and she doesn't have an installation cd, and you tell her that you need that, and then you say that you don't have time tonight because sometimes this stuff can take over 3 hours and then she starts yelling at you?

and would it be a good excuse for this kind of behavior if you know that she keeps breaking up with her boyfriend 3 times a week?

[nycwriters]

eventually she'll break up with him for good. be patient.

I know. I made my friends sad for a long time. Eventually she'll get smart and figure things out ... if you love her, grit your teeth and understand it has nothing to do with you, she's just feeling a little hurt and confused.

[Frieda]

yeah i know.. i try and be a good friend but sometimes it just makes me so angry.. i hope she's going to figure it all out soon..

I have a rather strange sunburn.

On my shoulder, right next to my neck. In a strip. I had on a sports bra under a t-shirt. Just the one side, since that was the side exposed to the sun. Ow.

That is the only place I am burned.

[nycwriters]

Oh freakin' great. I have new neighbors. They're ... ugh ... actors.

Right now they're drunk and yelling ...

whee.

what a day of discovery in my neighborhood. First the methadone clinic, now this.

And I have such affection for actors at this moment.

I'm sure that will pass.

[ally]

i have a new party trick, i can stick a pin through my tongue! cooool.

[lapietra]

Ow.
Why do you want to hurt yourself?

Ow.

[ally]

it doesn't hurt, i used to have my tongue pierced but took it out about two years ago & just out of curiousity i wantded to see if there was still a hole (you can't see any traces so i assumed it had grown over), icouldn't get the bar through, but a pin goes through like a hot kinfe through butter...

[lapietra]

heh. :)

No way could you get me to pierce my tongue... it's just an ingrained, singer thing... no touching the teeth, the nose, or the tongue... hence, no piercings and no braces (not too happy about the latter, since it would be great to get work done on my uppers... oh well... )

[ally]

i have a nose stud but it''s tiiiiny!

It's 12:48 pm, and I still haven't eaten anything. Going to the shop now.

I've never heard of that Mags.

Best piano accordian player I ever heard is a guy from Scotland named Phil Cunningham. He had a band with his brother John (Fiddle player) called Silly Wizard (http://www.harbourtownrecords.com/silly_wizard.html). He wrote some of the music used in the film Last of the Mohicans.
Best button accordion would be Jackie Daly. He plays with a band called Patrick Street (http://www.greenlinnet.com/artists/patstbio.htm). He's a legend in his own time!
