The Longest Thread Ever!

[BadNick]

MOAB,
I think if we took a poll here...maybe we should make this democratic and actually have a vote...I believe that most people would vote that your insensitive, dictatorial posts in this thread are much more of a turnoff to participation than any poem or haiku or other personal preference of other posters. There could be a fine line between free expression and unnecessarily hurtful comments and IMO you crossed the line. I think I understand your feeling of investment in getting this thread to be longest ever, but your bullying is getting me pissed off and has almost put a damper on my own attraction to this thread; but I've endured because of other people here who I like....including you when you're not a bully. It's never too late to change and be more open to others.

I love poetry no matter how you define it.

I love pictures, silliness and Chicken Little.

I love randomness. If randomness is important, why would one miss haiku comments?

Romance feels good and is joyous, even to a voyeur.

Negativism is not inviting. Makes the family not want to visit often.

Life is too short to bitch.

Sometimes time doesn't move until one takes their eyes off the clock.

Some people are blindsided by unhappiness with themselves and feel better blaming it on others.

Some people just wanna dance and sing and kiss their screens.



And some of us want to thank GoodNick
This is NONSENSE, man! Let's get back to FUN!

We need more sunshine in this thread today.

I cannot question,
having been so dumbfounded
as to wonder, but...

[MexicanOnABike]

I like eggs

[ring]

I adore eggs,
especially the dark yellow yolky goodness of a happy chicken egg.

I heard this Crosby Stills and Nash song three times in three days,
so I felt the need to share the lyrics.





Teach Your Children
by Graham Nash

You, who are on the road
Must have a code
That you can live by.
And so, become yourself
Because the past
Is just a goodbye.

Teach your children well
Their father's hell
Did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would die
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.

And you (Can you hear and)
Of tender years (Do you care and)
Can't know the fears (Can you see we)
That your elders grew by (Must be free to)
And so please help (Teach your children)
Them with your youth (You believe and)
They seek the truth (Make a world that)
Before they can die (We can live in)

Teach your parents well
Their children’s hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you’ll know by.

Don’t you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.

I know you have been pleased that your cactus are doing well,
do you have room in your house to add anymore?

I remember the pictures you posted of your cactus,
and how did that futon you ordered ever work out?
If I remember correctly, you were not to pleased with it at first.

It's such a beautiful Sunday.

[genuinegirly]

sleep is a welcome escape from headaches.

Let me try... howsabout one of my first journal entries way-back-when...

Credits   click to show 

Philip Glass
Violin Concerto, 1st movement
Adele Anthony, violin
Ulster Orchestra
Naxos CD 8.554568

In tribute to Ron Fricke who filmed Koyaanisqatsi ( one of my favourite films) This film charts the progress of the day and night, the changing light, weather and progress of the moon and stars . Enjoy ( do enjoy as it took two years to make!)
Technical assistance was by Alistair Meldrum who provided the specs for the pans and other things well beyond me, drove me places and had to give up a lot of his own time-lapse due to me getting there first.
Music ( shamefully I forgot to add this to the final version credits) Phillip Glass from his violin concerto.
Video editing - greatly helped by Rene Orielly who pointed the way to good editing and who was not at all shy by giving rough comments ( and i like that)
Video testers- David Watt, Dougie Nicol, Janet McSherry, Ian Wishart, Ian Hartley ( if its crap, they have no problem telling me so).

jewels and Jetee,
due to the nature of those youtube vids, I wonder if either of you ever listen to a regular radio show called Echoes? Around here it's on every night on WXPN Penn radio Echoes: Ambient Music on Public Radio ...I think you might enjoy it if you can get it on your local radio...or if you sign up at their site you can listen online.

Echoes was created in 1989, but the two people who created it started at Univ. of Penn when I was in college back in the early 70's. So back then it was unique on the radio and very "spaced out" so needless to say, I had to listen and trip on the sounds Echoes (radio program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Cool as polar paws... I am always receptive to public radio nods, as well as broadening musical horizons.

You know you're not used to caffeine when the miniscule traces of it in green tea makes you wired.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

All these new computer and forum changes have left me confused.
I never was too savvy with this techno world to begin with.

I'm off to press colorful leaves in some books.
I hope everyone is having a good day.

Probably not the longest, but this is a pretty long trail...pic I took at the Wheels & Warbirds show at NJMP in Millville NJ this weekend:



This was one of the longest wheels there:




Crazy racing Volvo:

That caramel colored car looks tasty.

I want to eat it.

[MexicanOnABike]

BadNick: very cool pics!

[jewels]

Mmmm why'd you have to say that, ring.

Caramel cake.

Thanks. It was a cool show, both the cars and the planes. The airplanes included a P-51 Mustang and this cool group of P-47's, these were the highlighted aircraft:

P-47 Thunderbolts (4)

B-25 Mitchell (3)

TBM-3 Avenger

FG-1D Corsair — Marine’s Dream

P-51D Mustang — Bald Eagle

P-40M Warhawk — The Jacky C II

SNJ-6 Texan

PBY-5A Catalina

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX

U.S. Coast Guard Grumman J4F Widgeon Amphibian

I didn't get any great pics of the airplanes...my timing and settings were not right for aerial photos...I need more practice.

Among others, I took these two pics:



These two are from the show organizers:



These are some pics I took of the cars and ground display:































I like motorized toys.

A random quote from a book.

Irish people have a highly developed appetite for magic.
Much of their lore concerns fairies- good and bad, large and small.

When you are in Ireland, it's wise to keep an open mind about fairies.
As one Irishman put it, "I dont' believe in fairies, but they're there."

A random quote from Francois de la Rochefoucauld:

When we are unable to find tranquility within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.

[MexicanOnABike]

a random quote from me: RANDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[genuinegirly]

"Small wonder artisnal jams are all the rage these days. The decorative jars contain preserves made with little batches of perfectly ripe fruit, meaning they have a naturally sweet taste you can't get from mass-produced spreads. So why not make them in your own kitchen? Early autumn, when temperatures are cooler, fall fruits are at their best, and holiday season is fast approaching (homemade preserves make lovely gifts), is an ideal time to try your hand." - Vegetarian Times October 2008

The Guatemalan writer, Augusto Monterroso, winner of Spain's Prince of Asturias literary prize, is credited with writing one of the world's shortest stories.

El Dinosaurio (The Dinosaur) reads in its entirety: "Upon waking, the dinosaur was still there."

[BadNick]

...poor little dinosaur...bad old asteroids
