Never mind adoption... How does a Nibble Party work?!? (and where do I buy tickets?) (Bear licks Burner's ear...) whew!... it got HOT in here all of a sudden! I'm afraid to talk about selling tickets. They just shut down the solicitation section of Craigslist. Bear ________________

My hubby says that I don't have the self control to simply nibble on a cookie. Not when I can open wide and eat the whole thing!!!

By the way... the NEW PICTURE at the foot of the first page of our BluePride site: WHO is the handsome, tall HUNK? Is that our own Big Jim?
Either Jim is posing in front of an antique police car or the pic was taken when Jim started on the force... when he was, uh, maybe six? ;D

No, that's not Big Jim! Although Jim is hunky in his own way. And he would never wear white socks in uniform! Any uniform!

No problem, Jim. Thanks for calling into the show. And, for Pete's sake, take care of that leg and recover already!!

Ok, ok, ok guys. I really hate to admit this but I can't stand using computers. athough I love blue pride, I hate sitting here typing away and looking at this stupid screen. If I never saw another computer again, it would be too soon for me. That's why I never learned how to post pictures, cross reference letters or anything else. In fact, because I hate using this thing, I have not extended myself to learn all the things I need to know in order to use it properly. Actually, my computer ignorance is astounding. If it were not for the ongoing help I get from my hubby and Tommy, I would be quite lost. So I promise that from now on, I'll pay attention and learn more about how to use this contraption. I had better do it quickly. My hubby is running out of patience.

I TOTALLY AGREE and understand of what you speak. Back when you and I started college, we used stone tablets. It was a technology I could understand. And, they never crashed. Uh, unless ya dropped one, which was a bit of a bummer. And there was no need for a calculator, once ya got the hang of an abacus. It was also a time for real, hearty BEER. It was a MAN'S drink (lots of grunting and growling bear noises.) None of this pinky-in-the-air LITE business. So just relax, come sit here with ol' Bear in the shade on this delightful summer day... and have a frosty glass of pink lemonade and one of these delightful sugar cookies I just made!

Bear. Would you believe that when I was in undergraduate school, there were no computers in the library. I went to Lehman College in New York and we used something called the "Dewey Desimal System" to find our books. They were little white cards kept in a filing cabinet with the titles typed on them. When I completed graduate school, I actually typed my Masters Thesis on an electric typewriter. I remember when my partner got his first computer, it cost thousands and in order to use it, you had to attach your telephone to it. The receiver actually sat in come kind of rubber cradle and it made screeching sounds, loud enough to wake the dead. Not having a computer never prevented me from learning anything, going anywhere, or living a full and rich life. I didn't need it then and sometimes I think that I don't need it now. If we're not careful, one day we will not be running computers, they will be running us.

Sounds like it's time for a big group chorus of "We shall overcome"! For me though, if I am given the instructions, I can usually make the computer do what I want it to. But if it has been a long time since doing it (like posting pictures 6 months ago) I need to find the instructions again. I can remember case numbers from years ago, but some of this computer stuff continues to prove I really have C.R.S.

computers are already taking over..."kids" nowadays couldn't subtract 5 from 10 without a calculator doing it...and it's really frustrating watching them trying to give change back if you give them the few odd cents so you don't get a bunch of pennies back after they have already used the cash register to figure it out for them....sigh....guess I'll just go ponder things with Bear's abacus and stone tablets.

WOW... your college was MODERN! Geez... we used Roman numerals ..... and you had an ELECTRIC typewriter? PLOP! (Bear faints...) mine was an old Smith Corona manual UPRIGHT with a couple bent keys. After undergrad school, it was thirty two YEARS later before I had a computer when I returned to psychiatric nursing school. I think my computer was WIND-UP (or maybe it was a kick-start.) ... and it was hell trying to feed parchment into the hand-press printer! ... and then ANOTHER ten years before I finished grad school and had a LASER printer!

So last night, about 3am, my hubby and I are in bed fast asleep. We have a large Owl out back who lives in a dead tree. He decided to start saying Who !!!!! Who !!!! Who!!! He was Whoing at the top of his lungs. Then, all of a sudden, the ducks, who live in the water with Tick Tock, started screaming Quack !!! Quack !!! Quack !!!!. Then our cat started going meow !!! meow !!! meow !!! Then, some neighbors dog started barking. Woff !!! Woff !!! Woff !!! Then some unkown aniamals got into a fight and began screeching. Then something hit the window with a loud thud, almost breaking the glass, then it ran off into the woods. Stephen was pissed. He got up and turned on the flood lights, that we have in the back of the house, opened the kitchen door and yelled, "Shut the F**k up !!!!! Then there was total and complete silence. You could hear a pin drop. I'm sure they realize that next time, Stephen brings out the 9mm. !!!
