Monkey Musing Daily Open Discussion #3 8/24 - 8/29/2007

You know, we should submit our findings to science. I thought you had to be in close physical proximity for that kind of "unity". Dorm rooms always have that effect. If this phenomena transcends the internet, we could make medical history!

Over the years when we have posted our pictures... yes we do look alike in many ways.

Well.............I brought lamps into my office and shot out the flourescent overheads 

When I get to candlelight, it's time to retire! 

Good for you... you will get more Vitamin D without the "f"  light bulbs F bulbs, I read, drain out the V-D  Dr. Phil says we are a nation lacking in V-D.. maybe because we aren't outside as much now... no hanging out the wash, gardens, fields

Think it was last night you asked me a question or to post something... I did but you were already offline and I can't remember now what it was.

and who on earth decides what lights go and paint go in the ladies' room??? I look half way decent prior to getting to work, but in that restroom... LOOK OUT!

Men, Bless them.

IBE - this was the storm as it was heading towards out house today.  Loudest thunder I've ever heard!



P.S.  For those who live in states that get actual weather, please ignore my picture.

About the hole in the fence, I believe.

Great picture.. am glad you are OK.. I bet all the Monkeys are laughing at us, too. Earthquakes and rain are big things here. We need more rain and less earthquakes!

Near the end of the Newport-Inglewood fault line or about 200 feet from it and liquid soil.. thought the place had its wheels, doesn't. Safer with wheel, I think.

You take great pictures... any teaching coming up??? other than teaching us thanks

Haven't done the posting of the hole.. feel asleep at the computer this aft. Sorry. Thanks for the reminder.

Nope, no teaching at the school.  I'm doing only contract work now for the hosptials.  They are keeping me plenty busy though so I'm not complaining.

Radiological something punctured by a fork lift at Luthansa (sp) airlines last night at LAX wasn't terrorism.

IBE - thanks, I wondered about that.  Couldn't find anything on it.

You're fixed for Halloween, but I'd definitely recommend switching toilet bowl cleaners!

Should be a new type of cleaner... only have to use it once a year otherwise your toiled disappears!

    Got to have one...doubt they make self-cleaning, though..

Right up my alley...or down my tubes, or whatever...

After reading through this thread, I’ve come to the conclusion that the format change has little to do with how people are feeling right now.  Every person that frequents SM and gets off-topic has their own personal interests.  Yet, some have seized the opportunity to single out others and publicly belittle them over things they have said in the old LCD over the past two years.

Some off-topic discussion, i.e. flatulence, dead grass and makeup is pre-approved whereas quips about dental hygiene and stuffed toys is regarded as some type of political statement that should be squashed.  It would appear that the musing thread has become a glass house and it is not a very cozy house, considering this recent trend.

EASY - not true at all in this thread.  My point was that it didn't belong in the old LCD nor does it belong in any missing persons thread.

I will ask you the same thing.  Do you think it's appropriate to discuss the subjects highlighted in red above in a missing persons thread?

Morning Klaas! Morning Monkeys!

Have a cup of coffee with me and let's get through this Monday with monkey hugs! 

Klass, Dugga? I promised auntiem an avi, but her pic won't open for me. Any suggestions?

My point is that all topics were discussed in the old LCD and not many topics were missed.  It was sort of a bullpen at times when there was no news.  Since making the separation, some have chosen to list various off-topic discussions and single individuals out, while all along the majority were guilty.  It hurts feelings and does not serve your purpose.  It alienates long-time supporters of this site.

Diplomacy and tact should be key during any transitional period. imo
