  My first time sking ever, was at Squaw Valley. We went up to the second level, very dumb for me. I got lost and all I could think about was wolves having me for dinner. But a Knight on shiny skies rescued me. (ie sky patrol) ;-)

  I went to the last day of Carnivale in Venice IT during a backpacking trip. It was very heady. Most people had masks on, or painted faces . THen there were couples with the extravagent costumes that just stood very still. It was another world. Very sensual. ( I dont mean sexual) The unusual part was the next morning the town was empty and it had snowed! This completly changed this city with out streets. Turning it into a magical winter wonderland.

  I took a massage class at Esalen, in Big Sur.

  Talking cats

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  researchers have found that margay cats in south america mimic the sounds of their prey, in this case, baby monkeys, to attract monkeys.

  this indicates intelligence and learning ability.

  its far more advanced that how the wt portrays animals; ruled by divinely endowed animal instincts.

  My rescue cat meows like a baby in the mouring if I sleep in. I swear if I was nursing, my milk would come in.

  But I wake up to this evil looking black cat staring at me, wanting her mini can of food NOW. It's like waking up to Satanus' avatar , but 2 inches away from your face. Kitty breath and all. Smile.

  After she eats, she is happy, purring, talking up a very normal kitty storm and her eyes are green again. She also gets a different meow when I'm on the phone , like a terrible two year old. LOL!

  Little Devil , gotta love her!

  Dear Amelia,

  After reading Nuggets post, I see there is more to the story than 3 kids hating you. Alot more.

  Stay close to your good , stable friend. She knows you . Take her up on that visit, even if you want to be by yourself.

  Take care of yourself first.

  my wife got me started watching this show last year.

  we've downloaded the previous seasons on netflix and have found it to be really well done.

  the story line, scenery,costumes,old cars and compelling characters have us hooked.

  spoiler alert too.....................

  I had heard the actor that played Mathew was not coming back next season, being lured to Hollywood. So I expected something. During the hunting scene I thought he migh get accidiently shot. Or raising home to see Mary , he might get into an accident. Acutually during the whole last hour , that's all I was thinking about. I'm really going to miss Mathew's charater too. I'll miss Mary and Mathew togeter, as he sees the best in her.

  Waiting 'till January will be hard.

  A little bump.

  Well , I'm off to my son's place for dinner and fun. Hopefully not to much fun...

  I made a nice frittata. Everyone is so gluten worried,( whats up with that) so no pasta. Have some frisee, made a simple salad dressing of olive oil, red wine vinger, crazy salt, and minced shallot. Some blue cheese to top it off with. I'm bringing a loaf a ciabatta , casue I love bread and I made a nice tapenade of black olives , smashed anchovy and diced tomatoe for a topping.

  Getting an Amarone and a Barbera on the way there. We are not white wine drinkers.

  That thermador sounds nice, CoCo. I had one a will back. You pushed a button and the vent came up from the back. It was like magic. Nothing like cooking in a well thought out kitchen. Hope you have some fun.

  Aussie Oz, Sorry you have a hard time relaxing. Sometimes I wish we could toss out all the communcatin methods we have, cell, computers, everything. Maybe after a few days we would learn to chill out. Take care and go pound on the metal.

  Hopscotch, hope have a chill Sunday after noon.....

  Hey there CoCo,

  Maybe everyone's working now. Tomorow bump it, as most will be on their day off.

  For me, when I have a day to myself . I like to cook something special. Usually involving pasta. Something sumputiously fattening. Blast the music and sip on a good Cab. Some for me and some for the sause. I like having my kids over for dinner as they think I can cook no wrong. I send all leftovers home with them. LOL

  Or watch some classic movies with my cat sleeping on my feet, while makeing jewelry or painting simple sumi-e cards to send to family. My Aunt is turning 80 soon. Tomororw out with the paints.

  Come summer I like working in the garden.

  Not to exciting , but relaxing.

  What do you like to do?

  Thank You clarity,

  Looking at the bar of soap, on line, in it's package, I do remember it very well. I lived way out in the boonies and the dogs and bambinos would always bring in poison oak. We were always sharing the blisters. I used it alot and I love the smell of it. It brings back many a memorie of having to miss meetings due to having poison oak. Oh, darn.

  I think this will be my grand-bambinos and I next project when they visit. Make it all pretty in nice big maison jars to share , like someone suggested.

  Sorry imallcool,

  I dont make bread, I make bricks.

  For the longest time I tried to be a good little wife and make bread. I always ended up with a two ton brick. I gave up.

  Watching a cooking show, later in life, I realized I kept my whole wheat flour in the freezer [worried about it going rancid] and I wasnt letting it get to a nice room temp. It was killing the yeast. I am not a baker. It's to technical. I love to cook. I can screw it up and fix it usually. I dont need a recipe or to measure anything.

  Just as well as I am like Rippie , I would eat the whole damn thing.

  They should make a ladies perfume of warm bread and strawberry jam. Who needs Channel No. whatever

  It seems that gentle souls feel all ranges of emotion rather intensly. This can be good , but it can also leave you feeling raw and naked to the world.

  Stay with your true , safe, stable freinds. Wrap them around you like a warm blanket against a sometimes cold world.

  Much love to you too,

  Eva
