There's a Heidi voice I hear when I read your posts, and it is not a little girl voice, even through the :cry: . :rofl:
I never really thought of that, but I think I hear a distinctive voice for most DUers, or the ones I read the most. I wonder if anyone sounds like I imagine them... I wonder if I should drink fewer caffeinated drinks, and if I would be closer to sane if I did. I wonder why my cat Amber is at this moment staring over the top of my laptop screen at my typing fingers as though they were small rodents she wanted to consume. I'm afraid to type any more. I concede, while I still can!

24. "Eeyore walked all round Tigger one way, and then turned |
|
and walked all round him the other way. 'What did you say it was?' he asked. 'Tigger' 'Ah!' said Eeyore. 'He's just come,' explained Piglet. 'Ah!' said Eeyore again. He thought for a long time and then said: 'When is he going?'
Pooh explained to Eeyore that Tigger was a great friend of Christopher Robin's, who had come to stay in the Forest, and Piglet explained to Tigger that he mustn't mind what Eeyore said because he was ALWAYS gloomy; and Eeyore explaied to Piglet that, on the contrary, he was feeling particularly cheerful this morning; and Tigger explained to anybody who was listening that he hadn't had any breakfast yet."
I can just tell I am going to get bounced :bounce: or bumped or something. Also, why the heck did I not think of Eeyore for a user-name? Or something clever like anemicEOR?
Oh, and some breakfast for zone :donut:

Some folks no matter what the circle seem to be preoccupied with outsmarting and outdoing each other rather than approaching some sort of common understanding. Not that being a smartass doesn't have its place (I for one cannot control myself); it's the pretention and smugness that get in the way.

Gee, I don't know what to say (but that won't last long). Thanks Heidi, Wesley and everybody. Coincidentally, Wes, one of my alter egos is "Dan-o" and I may have gone with that user name had I thought of it ("zone" harkens back to my Colorado days when Heidi and I were ink-stained wretches there).
This all reminds me that my buddy Dave recently told me about a guy who fixes guitars named Dan-o Dave and I was like "thanks for telling me about "Dan-o Dave, Dave. Peace, Dan-o." And Heid probably remembers that reporeter in Colorado we used to know named "Dave-o...
Another one of my nicknames is "Tangent Dan." Eventually it all runs together anyway, you know?
Sorry I am late, Heidi. Took me awhile to sign in, and Demon Baby beat me out of bed.
By the way, Dan-O Dave made my guitar sing.

Yes, I just have to get use to the mechanics of this thing. I stepped out for a moment to download chords to David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" for my daughter Sage. She promises to sing if we learn it together.

Thanks, RL! What state is that silloutted, Georgia? Or is that a country?
I seem to have this down except the only way I can figure out how to refresh posts is to go back the DU Lounge and click this thread.
Okay, my 15-year-old daughter has a homework assignment to write a haiku and a limerick and has asked for my help. Anyone want to take a crack at either? I thought it would be fun to incorporate current events or pop culture in a way that the average American teen would recognize, learn from, relate to. And of course, they should have a PG rating...okay, PG-13.

Madison, no doubt. I assume you mean the president (lol)?
Actually, I downloaded the guitar chords to David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" for my daughter this morning and the title made me think of the Naked Emporer in the White House.

73. Only when I am very bad... |

Okay, that was a tasteless out-of-context reference to an earlier thread about Heidi's Southern roots. I am taking my girls up skiing and will be back in a few hours. Thanks for the entree Mel; seems like a fun bunch of folks.

I survived...barely. I've got a sulking 15-year-old, a fearless and immodest 7 year old and a terrible soon-to-be 2 year old. I was actually paged off the mountain twice. First, the ski instructor for my 7-year-old's group lesson lost her, then the 19-month-old went totally apeshit in daycare because every time someone came in to drop off a kid, she thought it was mommy (should have nursed her before weh hit the slopes, I guess). I heard the second page while I was trying to rouse the 15-year-old, who despite having given it a successful go two times before, had decided all of a sudden that she was terrified of falling on her snowboard and had been warming the same spot at the top of the bunny hill for an hour and a half (she finally got over it and is up there on the mountain now, sulking because I'm making her come home 45 minutes before the ski hill closes). Ah, the joys of fatherhood! No wonder beer tastes so good...

My daughter woke me up - jumping up and down on the bed and screaming "Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!" It might have been workable but then her mother joined her and the bed collapsed.
These are the memories that will keep you warm in your old age. Enjoy.

I suck, considering how long I have been doing it, but I enjoy it immensely. Same with the guitar, actually.

It's been a sporadic entry...and a long time since I have participated in a chat room. First I stumbled upon the Head Case forum, then there was The Park (I posted as "zone" in both places). That was all back in Colorado, and I left there in 1999.
Nice smile!

I keep coming and going. Yesterday was a busy day. Heard some good blues last night. Morning has broken a little to fast and the kids are all up. They seem to be entertaining each other this morning, though.

...and I gotta git off afore I git yelled at. Gotta put up a shelf and take Sage home. Then we are having dinner with my old editor (the guy who wrote the dog book) and his family. He sold the movie rights last week for a reported high six or low seven figures...I shit you not. I will be back early since it's a school night.

It is taking me freakin' FOREVER to refresh the page when I post, etc. Didn't start out that way. I have a fairly new Dell and DSL service. Any advice. (I hope this commie website didn't give me a virus.)

112. Hey, thanks Seattle Girl |
|
I saw that some Left Coast DUers had a get-together is your neck of the woods recently. I grew up in Bellevue before it was yuppie town and returned to the Northwest after my stint at a Colorado paper (where I met Heidi) to be editor of a little weekly on the Oregon coast.

So what town on the Oregon coast? I lived in Oregon (Eugene/Springfield) for many, many years, and my family still lives there. The Oregon coast is one of my favorite places to go!

The town stuck in the '50s just up the coast from bohemian Cannon Beach. It reminded me of Pleasantville.

Before I worked there I had only bicycled through 15 years earlier en route from Seattle to San Fran with a hop around the Olympic Penninsula.

I love to tell Heidi's story. She was a miserable ink-stained wretch like me and up and moved to Europe a few years back and discovered her talent for painting. I don't think she had held a brush before that since she was a little kid.

She posts her paintings here sometimes and I've loved every one of them! So do you still live here in the states or are you in Europe also?

I got back on DU last night about 10 minutes into Shrub's speech and was on until at least midnight. I am pretty sure I even used the "my posts" feature to keep track of various conversations. Now when I click on "my posts" I see nothing archived between 9:07 last night and my first post tonight. Any ideas?
