You sure you want to do that? The classroom is a public place, though sparsely attended. I sure hope I already have tenure, 'cuz if it depends on student attendance, I'll shortly be greeting folks at WalMart.

It's kind of drafty, though. Aren't you cold?

If it turns out to be CheezWhiz and Two Buck Chuck, then I shall be leaving a bit earlier than anticipated.

I do not consider processed "cheese" products the color of a cheap basketball edible. At least by me.

I only eat Cheez Whiz when camping. It's handy and doesn't need to be kept in a cooler.

Had a roommate once who introduced me to the concept of american cheese and grape jelly on a saltine. I used to call them "trailer park blintzes" which really pissed him off.

But they were actually kinda good. I hated to admit it.

Dogs love Cheez Whiz. It's food AND a toy.

I'm rather confident that you have tenure at this point.

And yes it is quite chilly. What was your first clue?

oh. those. yeah.

No, they're always like that.

Where'd Ms. Crewe go? I thought that Axe Body Spray, liberally applied, was supposed to attract women, not sent them running off.

I get that wrong?

No no. We love how you smell.

She and I are both off for a bit; I have a Thing I must go Do, and I bet she's doing something fabulously domestic now. With mostaccioli or something.

Or else my latest PM gave her a heart attack. Not sure which.

Be that as it may, I must sadly take my leave for the nonce. (non-iambic line).

I was really wishing there was going to be a quiz. With extra credit.

till later,

Most of the on-line info about them is going to be newage claptrap airyfairy bunny bullshit. *damn, that was my outside voice, wasn't it.*

LMAO
Yes, my daughter and I were rather amused by the newage claptrap airyfairy bunny bullshit.

If you want to know about them, see if you can arrange to meet one. Go to a natural environment and meditate on the four elements. Maybe even make a fire and watch it for a while. I can pretty much guarantee you'll learn three times as much as you will on line.

Even from me, heh heh.

bj

Have you ever met one?
Ghost Hunters International had caught some on tape. I think they were in Ireland at the time.

Here's another question, for anyone or for when you have time, bj.
Can a spirit be nasty to another spirit?

I watched some special on the travel channel. It was a Most Haunted Live special of Gettysburg. When they were supposedly talking to the ghost of the man who shot Jenny Wade, I just started bawlng. It was so sad! This poor guy feels responsible for her death even though it was an accident. In fact, Jenny Wade's sister's house, where Jenny was shot, was hit with 150 bullets. The ghost seemed afraid to move on for fear of judgment for his tragic mistake.
Then, the ghost of one of the men who killed the guy who shot Jenny took over the contact. And let me tell you, he was an asshole. I don't make a habit of speaking ill of the dead, but there is really no other way to explain it. He had absolutely no remorse. And, even though I sensed some hurt or fear from him... in fact, it seemed to me that he was hurt very badly (emotionally), it seemed that the only reason he hung around was to torture the guy who accidentally killed Jenny Wade.
Unfortunately, the people on the show did not seek specific clarification on that.

Anyway, I had never thought of ghosts terrorizing other ghosts after death as they did in life. I'm not sure if this is a real possibility-- just a thought based on feeling.

My daughter and I decided that I should become a ghost therapist after I finish my degree.

First I must say, WTF?! That is just ten kinds of wrong. (No small feat, considering there are only three ingredients) It pains me to say, snorting aspirin for a speedy headache fix almost makes more sense.
And "trailer park blintzes"......classic.

Evening, all.

I'll have you know that CheezWhiz is considered a delicacy in the Midwest. It ranks right up there with Thinly Sliced Spam and Ritz Crackers as the best ingredients for the finest Midwestern canapés in all of the better homes (in the lesser homes you may possibly be served a real can of pee).

Now, now. Our BJ lives in That Great Flat Place in the Center of the Country.

I like saltines, by the way, but up here we crumple them into clam chowder.

I get to say that! I was born and raised near Peoria, Ill.

(I was raised there. I wasn't "reared" until we moved to Cali )

Then perhaps you can explain why Northwestern University is in a Chicago suburb. Hardly what we in the PNW consider to be northwest, but then we go west to the Far East.


The wine was passable. I saw no cheese, Whiz or otherwise, to huff. Shook my daily quota's worth of hands.

I'm going to wander down into the casino and see if I can find a restaurant that doesn't too badly blow my per diem.

 

[Homburg]

Hommie, you've got a lot of dexterity for having such sizable hands. Pretty neato, that combination.

bj

It is a bit odd. Part of it is because one of my big hobbies is painting minitures for wargaming. Toy soldiers, in essence. The most common size that I do is around 1.25" tall. This minstrel is a little taller than a quarter stood up on its' edge when he's off his horse. Takes a steady hand, and fine amnipulation skills.

Just more stuff to keep the brain alive.

Just grab Hom and blindfold him.


And then run.


Fast.

There is not enough "fast" in the world.

I'm only sammy 'cause I am safe in another country. With borders comes bravery.

Did they change things so's I'd need a passport to get into Canada? Used to be I could just show my driver's license.

 

[Homburg]

i took some pictures and sent them to Master for editing. once he is done editing them to his liking he said he would post them. keep in mind, its not complete yet. i want to add a silver "R" bead to the end of the strand to stand for his initial.

Currently, as a United States citizen entering Canada, you need either a passport or both proof of citizenship (e.g., birth certificate) and a (presumably government issued) photo ID (reference here). Canadian Border Services Agency does not seem to distinguish between entry via air and entry via other means (car, boat).

However, to re-enter the United States, if travelling by air you need a valid passport (or a specialized document that functions similarly). If re-entering the country by land or sea prior to June 1, 2009 the traditional proof of citizenship and government photo ID is sufficient (i.e., birth certificate and drivers license). After that date, I think the plan is to require a passport (for everyone, including children). You should probably read the rather confusing regulations yourself.

Personally, I wouldn't leave the country without a passport at this point. The problem is not so much getting into Canada as getting back into the USA.

 

[LadynStFreknBed]

MIS, I really like your chain. The shape of the links is really cool. What kind of wire is that?

Yes. It was freaky as shit. They are very much not like us.

Here's another question, for anyone or for when you have time, bj.
Can a spirit be nasty to another spirit?

-The Ghost Whisperer

If we're talking about actual dead humans who have chosen, on one level or another, not to properly move on (those are extremely rare, btw) then yes, because part of the reason they stay/are trapped is because they can't let go of some emotional agenda or another, and one strong agenda seems to be anger and revenge.

I'll have you know that CheezWhiz is considered a delicacy in the Midwest. It ranks right up there with Thinly Sliced Spam and Ritz Crackers as the best ingredients for the finest Midwestern canapés in all of the better homes (in the lesser homes you may possibly be served a real can of pee).

Oh it is NOT. The real delicacy here is smoked oysters in the can, on some a' them classy Townhouse crackers. Not that I know what a townhouse is.

Now, now. Our BJ lives in That Great Flat Place in the Center of the Country.

Yer supposed to put oyster crackers in chowdah.

I lived in Boston for a while. I know these things.

thanks. its copper. i've been making copper jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, chains) since i was in high school. Master wants me to redo that one in silver so i plan on it

That because you don't live in the REAL Midwest. You live in the kinda western Midwest, sorta like (maybe, kinda, sorta).

Well I don't know about that. Born in Detroit, raised on the south side of Chicago, a year in Iowa that seemed like a century at least, and ten years in Missouri before I hit Kansas. So is any of that the Midwest?

Course, I'll acknowledge that the year in Boston didn't help, but it was only a year.

Damn! You're a Home Girl? Okay then. You can have your oysters. You sure they aren't the rocky mountain kind?

South side, represent! Spent my 16th birthday at Augustano's pizza in Chicago Heights.

And I talk to other drivers on the road, to this day: "Oh, you think you're going to merge right there? I don't think so. You gotta nice car, there, and I'm not afraid to dent it, bitch, so c'mon and try." That sort of thing. That's a true sign of a Chicagoan.

Yes, there is.

You just did.

And yes, as Tz says, you need a passport now to go back and forth between the Us and Canada. I must point out that that was your country's idea not ours.

my oh my oh my, i need a cookie, maybe of the oatmeal variety...

Consequences would be dire. Course the funny made might be worth it. *shrug*
