IF I WERE TO EMAIL CAROL ...
2009-05-06 - wed
Carol,
HAPPY SWINE FLU DAY
2 things I heard, and would like to remember ( I heard them in
interviews that Amy Goodman had on democracynow.org ) ... I
will try and paraphrase -
Ahem ...
Pete Seeger imagines masses vs controllers as boxes of sand on
a see saw.
The c side is full & heavy & sittin' down on the ground.
The m's side is up in the air & leaks & the ms keep putting in
sand, but with teaspoons. And their sand leaks out almost
as fast as it is put in. If they stop spoonin' sand, nothin' will
get better, 'cause all the sand will leak out then. So they
keep spoonin' sand, though it's still gonna take forever.
"Augusto Boal, the legendary Brazilian political playwright and popular
educator.... He was the founder of the Theater of the Oppressed, a
popular international movement for a participatory form of theater
as a means of promoting knowledge, democratic forms of interaction,
and transformation. "
After a performance in which the actors/peasants said they had to
give their blood for land, some peasants asked him to do just that.
He declined - he was an artist.
That's when he figured out something important.
It's raining. Do you believe it ?! Our weather is wetter
than yours.
It's been so gray & soggy of late that even my happy light
doesn't help ( I see that someplace is selling Happy Lights
now ). Anyway, mine does not help the computer at all.
And nothing is worse than a depressed 'puter.
I've even started taping pictures of the sun on the walls
and ceilings. No help.
Next week I'll sign up for the Sun Seminars that the
state gov't is giving for 9.95. ( they do that so people will
stay up here. )
If that doesn't help, I'll take a course at the local college.
Or maybe I'll invent a solar panel the stores up energy and
makes artificial sunlight to be used on cloudy days.
I can be really tan. ( I just hope nobody thinks of it first. )
Connie is reading Gillian Roberts mysteries ( her books
have punny titles. )
I finished one of the books I started last summer and I'm
more then half-way through the other ( Christopher Moore's
COYOTE BLUE ) ... soon ... soon.

HAPPY SWINE FLU DAY !!!
Stay away from pigs !!! They're either rabid or flu-ish.
And only eat bacon from happy pigs - like I do.
( I always ask the wait-person if the meat came from happy
cows or pigs or chickens, eggs, too, or bison or corn or dogs.
I won't touch it otherwise. Who wants to eat unhappy stuff ??
Especially, unhappy corndogs !! )

Pig guerillas were given 701 billion U.S. dollars on Thursday as
a gift to encourage them to stop sending Swine Flu spores
in envelopes marked 'SEXXXY' to US lawmakers.
"No more Swine Flu spores will be mailed from this postmark
to US lawmakers after today.," said the spokesperson for
the guerillas, Juanita.
"Well, that's good news," replied the US lawmakers' spokes-
person, Bill.
Next in the worldwide pandemic crisis is to give 700 billion
U.S. dollars to Tom up there and then 600 billion US dollars
to the American taxpayer, Jim. "Then we just have to sit back
and watch," President BO is quoted as saying in an information
distributing release last Friday.
We got to see Nathan last night ( Leah brought him over ).
He's up from NM to visit friends around Seattle and etc.
We visited 'til Thess finished her shift at the co-op then they
( Leah & James and Thess and Nathan ) headed out to eat and
do Friday night stuff.
It's supposed to rain for a few days - until the middle of next
week. Then the weather will be cooler with only partly rain
( 'rain' that comes down in half drops ).
SAME DAY - 8:14 PM
We got to see everybody today ... Thess, Leah, Seth, Sue,
Nathan, James, Gabby, Becky, Jack and Luke.
2009-05-03 - sun
TO FINISH...
They all played "work up" type baseball in the backyard,
with Jack's and Luke's real mitts and baseball and a stick
they found out there, then L&J, T and N went downtown to
eat and Sue took Becky back out to the house she is house-
sitting in and we got Seth & Gabby and Jack and Luke to
sit through a lot of the first movie in the LOTR trilogy
before they had to go.
and it rained like Olympia.
But today is partly sunny - er was - er is - er ...
And today is 'ready-the-pills-for-next-week' day, but I got
mixed up on the coumadin doses ( it's a generic, called
"warfarin" ) and they have me take 7.5 mg some days and
10 mg others ( and, once some were round and pink - now,
the same some are oblong and yellow ) and these pills are the
ones that are adjusted frequently to keep my blood
thinnatousness just right. Anyway, as I 'progressively'
digress, I require more help with stuff that I once could
figure out for myself. The physical stuff is easy to feel when
it goes whacky, but the mental stuff does not show up easily.
It, that mental stuff - forgetting, not knowing how to start,
arranging things wrong, etc. - requires more and more help.
Connie had to help me figure how to set up pills for next week.
