Enjoyed the dog chase, too. Always nice to have a good chase scene - in case it becomes a movie! If you're in the mood for a more tame activity, I came across this: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Cat-Bed-from-an-Old-Sweater. Actually, it's more for Amy, but wouldn't she be impressed to come home and find Zuzu had a new, had made bed! Sutton, I liked the post, you really are near wilderness. Enjoyed the dog chase, too.

]]> Comment on New Notebook: Give Me Fever by Sassenach http://www.marginnotes.net/2008/04/12/new-notebook-give-me-fever/#comment-1127 Sassenach Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:55:45 +0000 http://www.marginnotes.net/?p=287#comment-1127 I used to love the taste of Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup-- which, now that I think of it, kind of tasted like thick Dr. Pepper. That was back when they actually made the stuff palatable. Now it all tastes like lighter fluid. So the children are all safe, I guess, except that they've moved on to huffing the furniture polish.

]]> Comment on Past Tension by Diane http://www.marginnotes.net/2008/03/13/past-tension/#comment-1100 Diane Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:56:38 +0000 http://www.marginnotes.net/2008/03/13/past-tension/#comment-1100 As frustrating as those mishaps are at the moment, they're nothing that can't be fixed...tho they'll cost extra! I can easily see myself making either of those mistakes, if that's any consolation. Glad to hear all's going well for Amy in the jungle. As far as the monkey goes, be careful what you wish for!! Amy once smuggled her cat into her on-campus apt. where pets were strictly forbidden. She got away with it for a few months until an RA saw the cat sitting in the window. I'm sure there's no need to worry, tho, as our airport security would NEVER let a foreign monkey board a plane bound for the US!

]]> Comment on The View from Power Plant Live(!) by Jack http://www.marginnotes.net/2008/01/13/the-view-from-power-plant-live/#comment-1091 Jack Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:57:08 +0000 http://www.marginnotes.net/2008/01/13/the-view-from-power-plant-live/#comment-1091 I've been to the power plant. It pretty much is just as described. A place for tons of women but that is a double edged sword. The women that go there are in groups, almost impossible to meet any of them as it seems this is their excuse to band together under the influence of alcohol to be seen, lusted after to stroke their egos, even the heavier ones, and to be downright unfriendly and nasty as they want to be to men thanks to the alcohol and safety in numbers mentality. The women there are rude, unfriendly and only want to tease. They are not there to meet anyone nice. Only to look at guys, to cock block any male that doesn't meet their personal set standards in looks that is trying to remotely get close to their friend to meet, and possibly get a number and date, which leads to marriage sometimes I might ad. God forbid you are male and find a female attractive there. You're better off going to a strip bar and seeing something for all the foul mouthed attitude. At least there, you see some skin for the mouthy broad in front of you, and a friendly attitude if you got lots of ones in your pocket. The power plant live is one drunken free for all place that is more or less Baltimore's Bourbon Street. It's a cess pool of young arrogant women and girl starved young men hoping to meet a nice girl. Seems like the way it is in most clubs along the four state east coast "new york corridor." Don't waste your time. Try a Karioke bar or a country western music club. At least there you'll meet a good quality person and a better chance of getting at least some conversation back, rather than the typical girl friend grabbing the girl of your interest's arm saying, "She's got a boy friend," or "She's not interested in you," as she's dragged away from her non approving friend. Funny, the girl is always talking to you showing interest when that happens... It's Juevenille and highschoolish childishness mentality at best, and a waste of time the power plant live is.

Ambivalence is what I always felt about hunting - the need to feed a family - the abundance of wild animals juxtaposed with the feeling of sadness, regret, guilt around killing a living creature.
