Not much happening here. Harvest festival time, so we're seeing lots of

the group was created!
I did try to get a discussion going last time I was around. People moaned
that I was posting the same thing over and over again, but they didn't do
anything to take the discussion off in a different direction. Is there any
point in bothering?

Well, obviously a few people still subscribe, but mostly nobody
bothers to post. Presumably, they are placing there new content
somewhere more lively, and just keeping a weather eye on ssm in
case something happens.
I'm still reading some other usenet groups, but not much traffic
there. I had to unsubscribe from alt.home.repair, mainly because
every thread turned into Obama-bashing and the amount of spam.
With people who would *reply* "F--- Off, Spammer!" top-posting
while *quoting* the entire spam, sometimes a months-old one.
I have joined some web-based forums, mainly to discuss work poo
and chinchilla poo, topics which might not garner much interest
on ssm. I don't like the web-based stuff as well as usenet, but
the moderation and lack of spam/velveeta is welcome.
I did learn recently that hitting the <esc> key in Firefox will
stop all the gibbering, blinking animated smilies. What a relief!
OK, I have to get ready for poo, I mean work. Girl spilled
water-a *lot* of water in her black Macbook yesterday. It wasn't
on at the time, so she promptly turned it on "to see if it was
OK". Bad Idea Jeans. There's water leaking out of the case, and
applying power seems like the thing to do? *sigh*

I've never been a new content generator. I just follow up to others.
C'mon, someone post something stupid, already!

I'm sure that's a first.

OMG! Thank you! (*falls over laughing*)
I *adore* Glee. Enough that I've come to terms with NBC for yanking
it away from us this summer to shift it to their fall schedule when
they realized exactly how much we all loved it. (I was PISSED!!)

I've never seen a hibiscus bonsai, I bet it's beautiful! Any chance of

I'm beginning to question that. Isabelle is presenting...challenges.
I'm not sure if it's her, or if I'm spoiled from years of training
herding dogs or herding dog mixes.

I've never cooked with acorns, have you? I have plenty, the squirrels
have been too busy eating the pecans to even look at the acorns.
Hm, I wonder if different varieties of oak trees produce different
tasting acorns. I have 2 kinds of oak trees.

I have not! Have read many recipes, though. Boink?!

Mmm! I can see their point.

*envy* We just have a stupid linden tree. ("Stupid" because the major
storm we had last month broke its biggest, lowest branch, and now my
tomatoes are dying because they're shaded. Grrr. They were doing so
well! Best tomatoes ever!)

I wish! Isabelle is still not ready for prime time, and I'm afraid
boarding her would set us back.
Say, maybe we could make it another fine BoN activity!

It's been entertaining to watch my neighbor try and "squirrel proof"
his pecan tree. A polite neighbor would not laugh so loud, but he did
guffaw at my efforts to keep the cats inside an invisible fence.

Wow, I think you're the first person from New York, well, from
practically the whole Northeast who had a good tomato year. Yay for
you! Nothing beats a home grown tomato.
I have become solidly addicted to Cherokee Purple tomatoes this year.
How could I have missed them for so long?

Cats are masters of invisible obedience.

Never even met her. Hint: take a look at my picasa page and
