Autumn Moore

Wow, our own Autumn! How did this idea come to you Mike?

Her posting in the "Claire Danes" topic - go visit it :-)

So do you have a centerfold of Autumn?

Not yet :)

ROTFLMAO!!!!! You guys are too much! If I had a scanner I could put an end to this topic right now, but since I don't, you'll just have to use your imaginations! Turn-ons: world peace, recycling, convenience food eaten by candlelight and air conditioning Turn-offs: despotic rulers, bad grammar, crackheads, caffeine and panty hose

Autumn, you forgot to mention men covered in chocolate!

panty hose Does that mean your into stockings, then? *leeer* :) If you want, you could send a photo to a friend with a scanner, and we would really really love you to. Oh yes.

LOL! (look out Autumn... here comes trouble!)

So, statuesque is she?

Ha Ha! Oui, oui, men in chocolate--a definite turn-on; men in "riverdance"--a definite turn-off. And yes, Mike, there are (cough) various reasons why stockings are preferable to panty hose...

and the thigh highs are alot less work.

Not least that they make guys faint. And swoon. And other stuff. Oo-er

and you can pull em up all slinky-like. and then down again, all slinky-like. oh dear, i think i'm going to have to go and lie in a dark room now.

*laugh* (uhoh! he's swooning again!)

user mikeg has been added as all powerful host of this conference.

*watch out!* I'm coming down! Actually, I do have a certain tendency to faint sometimes, which can be highly embarrassing. I was in church a month or so ago, and right at the end I just smashed to the floor. I was totally confused for about two hours afterwards...twasn't much fun :/

oh goodness me....now i can go around abusing you all, pretending i'm in some other conf on the Spring

Like mine?

You actually faint, mike?? I thought that was an 18th century thing that went out of style! What is the cause/remedy?

cause: hitting the floor remedy: unhitting it

lol (very nice, mike)

and damn embarrassing.

had a grandmother that was an accomplished swooner (and she was never embarrassed... though the sincerity of her spells has always rather been questionable, to me... how can one ALWAYS manage to land in a comfortable place?)... anyway, your attitude about it seems quite healthy... is the fainting caused by any particular thing?

nekkid pics of certain females, as we know

noooooooooooooooo...that ain't true :) It tends to happen when I'm very hungry, and/or very tired. The Church thing happened after I'd been up without sleep for about 30 hours, with little food

sounds like prayer was the last thing you needed. more like a quick stop at Denny's for a Rooty Tooty Fresh N' Fruity!

:-)

Sounds like hypoglycemia to me... LOVE the new graphics, Mike!

glad you approve, autumn :-) How about some graphics of yourself in return?? :-)

I AM NOT ABLE TOCONNECT TO NET2PHONE WEBSITE AND DOWNLOAD, SO PLEASE ADVICE WHAT TO DO.

first of all, find your capslock key and press it till the light on your keyboard goes out :-)

second, go to the apps conference at http://www.spring.com/yapp-bin/restricted/apps/all and there should be a topic for ya!

LOL! Too much Mike, the sarcastic banter has incited an unstoppable (at the moment) series of belly laughs! (you two were MOST helpful)

there's a topic for everything in apps. shakesperean interpretation of Netscape Communicator 4? Of course.

Anyway, can we get back on Autumn, now?

Literally? ha ha Guess what my brother unveiled on Easter? A new scanner....

woo hoo!

Why, whatever could that mean?

well...... (btw, got a scanner too *impish grin*)

brill o brill. this is quite the kinkiest conf on the Spring, in my opinion. devoted to those female members of our clan. and with pictures. and, dare i say it, candle wax? ;))

dare, dare!

LOL

Have you noticed that we seem to follow the same line of conversation no matter what conference we're in??

Really? Wow, I never even noticed. You sure? This revelation has caught me totally off-guard. It's gotta be either a coincidence, or misinterpretation of available data... (next thing is, what, you don't think we're being topical either, right?)

lol

I heard 'candle wax'... and rushed right over!

Unfortunately, you rushed over to wrong place...

But while you're here, do you need any ear candling done? I have lots of satisfied customers....

I saw ear candling at the Whole Life Expo. What exactly does this procedure accomplish?

pain.

what the hell is ear candling? (*lol* stacey)

No, no, no! It is very soothing. It wicks away all the gunk that builds up in the ear canal without using an invasive procedure or chemicals. It's always fun to unwrap the candle when you're done and make little wax bunnies out of the resin--kidding! Honestly, you would be surprised at the pollen and other environmental powders that wind up in your ears. An interesting site is: http://www.arden.net/earcandle/

am gonna check that out, cuz i just don't get it. what about an ear wash, with water or saline solution? do they do nose candling too?

trepanation, anyone?

gross!!

Maybe I'll get an ear candle job at the Whole Life Expo coming up. Now, are you sure there's nothing to fear about this procedure? There's no potential downside?

Well, if you try to do it while watching TV your hair might catch on fire. That's why someone always has to do it to you (although I know some idiots who do it to themselves). Nothing to fear and with low lighting and your favorite music, it's relaxing (not as relaxing as say, a massage, but nice nonetheless). Wolf, LOL about the nose candling! About the ears, though, there are plenty of people for whom peroxide on a cotton ball just doesn't cut it. Sorry Mike, trepanning is a little too invasive for my taste! :-)

Autumn: and what to do about that bald spot!! Oh, and the candling sucks stuff out of the ear? I mean, what is the concept here? they stick this candle in your ear, light it, and the vacuum it creates sucks all the crud from inside the ear canal? hey, it could work for sinus problems. just have to figure out how to get the customer to lay upside down comfortably!

and how to clear it with your insurance company.

ha-ha!! Yeah, finally made it here, Mike! Could not find the damn conference - must have been sitting in my blind spot the whole time. Just now I turned my head slightly to the left, and what do you know: BABES! Just popped up out of the blue. Seeing as I'm not really into Sandra Bullocks and Claudia Schiffer, and seeing as I was curious as to what your making fun would look like on screen, II thought I'd come to Autumn. If she's really a 5'9 - wow! - then I'll at least feel safe and protected here with my short arse. Impressed, Mike, really impressed . . .

We'll have to get you your own page so you can tell us all about your short arse!

but....but....but it's not short it's rather voluptuous if i do not say so myself

well, don't say so myself...

oops...sorry...got my wires crossed there not that they're not crossed all the time anyway this time i think they double-crossed me see, i thought i was in another conversation (and thought that Autumn thought I'd said my arse was short --even though NOW I quite distinctly remember Riette saying that about herself in her earlier post) and thought i didn't have to check any earlier responses to see what was really goin' on in the conversation (when I first brought up Autumn's #61) then, after all that, i thought, hmmm, i could let that stand anyway & it'd be funny then i thought, no, i wanna live

and yet another excellent point, Jim...

Ha-ha! You scared, Texas? Now why would that be?

i'm not in the closet....please don't look there....

I'll look under the bed then. And pretend you're dead . . . that's how necrophilliacs like it . . .

ok, just don't look in the closet....i'm not in the closet....

Who said I was looking for you? I'm not looking for a fight, you see, and so I won't look in the closet . . . too scared you'll fight with me until we both end up sulking again. . . But if you promise not to fight with me, I might just go looking for my . . . fur coat . . . in the closet over there. Are you amongst the fur, Texas?

Well, uh, Riette?....turn the light off in the room. I've got the light off in here. Okay, good. I'm opening the door real slow. That's you? Ok, i got yer hand. Groovy, yer in now. Our own closet. See, isn't this fun? Isn't it different? You feel so close....you feel like a guided dream....

Hmm, that's romantic. But I'm not sure it'll work . . . I only go for older men, you know. And you're so young and innocent, I would not want to misguide you, and turn you decadent and wild. But since I can't see you and you can't see me, let's get under the fur and see what happens. Can you feel me? You still think I'm voluptuous? Careful now . . .

is that cheese on your breath? what kinda cheese is that? chumbawumba? no, no, everything's okay. um, pardon me, but could i have your inner thigh? oh wait, can you hang on a sec? there's alotta people out there. a buncha big-breasted nympho cheerleaders just came into the room. yes, i'll close the door. yes, i'll lock it. no, i don't care about them at all. did you know i became a mom this year? ok, i WILL be a mom this year. alright, early next year. my mum's left eyeball always haunted me. oh, sorry....I'll keep that to myself. yes, you ARE right, i shoulda known better....i'm so naive. hey, there's a countertop in here. yeah, there is....no, there really is. let me knock the rest of the shoes off. do you want up? here, i'll help you. ready? upsy-daisy... fun just follows you around, doesn't it.... the sudden closeness of your voluptuous kiss..... mmm-mmm-mmm, i want another....WHAT? that wasn't YOU???!!

oh, just take yourself a damn cheerleader, will you? Wouldn't want you to miss out on their tall, willowy, pom-pommy, chumbawumby, big breasted, silicon implanty, make-uppy voluptuousness, would we? Knew I shouldn't have gone for a youth! Only older guys can appreciate a women with voluptuousless uncurves anyway.

I'm to assume you're being playful, that you're not being antagonistic, right? Am I learning how to learn about you? Does it look like, now, that I'm making progress there with that?

OH, I'm so glad you're here. Just finished a painting (Lovers embracing . . . ), and am so full of adrenaline that my arm is hurting and I can't sleep at all! Of course I'm being playful, silly! Got nothing against cheerleaders, except that they have big . . . pom-poms. You want to learn about me? Now how am I supposed to believe that?

um, he keeps responding to your posts...

in strange and intriguing ways . . . and it was meant as a joke. Gee, American guys are so touchy!! I take it your working day is over then.

maybe just this american guy. i really am touchy....and dense as can be..... i'm a cancer....aren't they supposedly too sensitive or something.... i dunno. um, no, my working day begins when i begin to work on my understanding of your ways. you are helping alot, y'know....i find some solace in that.

Well, I didn't say I didn't like touchy. Touchy is good - it's interesting and provocative (and easily provoked!), and unpredictable, adventurous, sensitive, sweet and infuriating. Just how I like it. Nothing cancerous about that. If there were cancer would have been a good thing instead of a killer. Anyway, glad you're still hanging in there - trying to understand me. I am beginning to think it's better NOT to understand you though. I like the mystery, but I know exactly what you look like in my head. It's the personality that still puzzles, baffles, bewilders, and makes me laugh. Don't want to find all the answers though. But I am beginning to understand you a bit better too. You know we've been in this closet for almost three days now, with a third person who turned out to be Wer, and we still haven't fought. That's got to be a record! Let's celebrate. Damn, we don't have any champaigne. Love you.

Please refrain from using the word "cancer" in my topic! (bad karma, you know)

Jawohl, mein F�hrer!

Danke schoen!

Sehr gut! Wir k�nnten damit vielleicht sogar ein paar Deutscher f�r diese Konferenz gewinnen! Gott, nein!!! Let's speak English again!!

Ich spreche Anglische sehr gut! Nicht Deutsch! Ha ha

Velly goot! By the way, I knew you were a teacher!

did you know her daughters were, too? they taught Autumn everything she knows.... they taught me how to unlearn everything i know... they taught me how to use a defibrillator (they call it a thingamajig or a doohickey) i use mine on my brain...that's how i jumpstart my day every morning, y'see....

And when that jump happens you probably forget to even blink!

i suppose we all have to defib our brains in the a.m. but I prefer coffee, or sex, or... well those are my two favorite ways but sometimes a good run/skate/bike ride works too. Hey Autumn... has anyone told you you're a babe lately?!!? They haven't? Well, you know that's why we're all here! cheers!

yep, need some eye candy for the conversation!

Ha, ha! Working on it!! Stacey, that's a good one for the "sex or..." topic--Sex or Coffee?? I'd have to think about that one!! You're beautiful, baby!

what about coffee flavored massage oil?

oooooh, I like the sound of that! Actually, I always wondered why they don't make coffee-scented air fresheners. The scents they sell at the store always smell like cheap perfume.

they make candles with coffee beans in them...

Yes, you're right, I've seen those!! Have you ever smelled one while it's burning?

yep...yummy-yummy...

I must say, coffee doesn't 'do' it for me like that. My favourite smell in the world is diesel fumes. As a kid I used to stand by the ventilation holes of the generating room on my granddad's farm, and inhale those fumes with all my might. Now I'm more discreet - just have to turn my head towards the road to get that smell.

oh Riette...

oh benzene...

Hope that sort of thing doesn't get classified under 'fettish' . . .

oh, probably... especially since you mentioned it...

oh boy, are we gonna have a fettish topic now? is there one already? you know being stuck in the desert has not helped at all...someone fill me in! and i like the smell of freshly sawn wood, do they make that in candle form?

More Autumn! Can't get enought of Autumn!

all in good time

hi terry! (btw, which do you prefer to be called, Paul or Terry?) (not leaving you out wer, so hi *grin*)

We could call him P.T. But then people might think his name is Peety. Or they might thing the P.T. stands for something . . . like Physical Torture!

Despite what that might sound like, it was a compliment, Paul Terry!!

No need to explain things to Paul... he used to have to work with ME everyday!

Paul to acquaintances. Terry to close friends and family.

Even though we're third cousins, seven times removed from that crazy great-great aunt that used to put sex-crazed cockroaches in her peach jelly... I like to call you Paul because... that's what you look like and that was the name I first knew you by. AND, since I got to know you when you were Paul, and that's the name I thought suited you best, it's hard to stop midstream (as you men well know) and pick up and go in a different direction all together. Soooo... not intending to take myself out of the friend/family realm... how 'bout I call you Cousin Paul???

And the rest of us?? We'll just call him Nice-not-third-cousin-person Terry Paul?!

Sure Stace' . . . Paul is fine! When I worked at Haystack Labs, there was a Paul and a Terry in my department, so everyone called me Paul Terry, a Billy Bob kinda name.

well, not quite. can't you just see his mom, now you listen here, paul terry walhus! is it just terry or is it short for terance or terrell or something? since we're all friends and family and third cousins removed, i don't consider too personal of a question *grin*

And if you don't tell us, we'll call you Walhussy!

It's not short for anything. Not Terence, not anything, just Terry. And Walhus means 'stone house' or 'rock house' in Norwegian.

interesting stuff :-)

I like that. Rock, stone - those are words I like. Suggests strength, stability.

terry's not a babe. at least, not in my book. but maybe we should open a topic for him here?

Not here, this is for 'babes'; now if they opened a topic in drool, that would be another story. But I don't think that's about to happen.

hehehe the sysadmin, the guy who has root login, can't enter Drool without feeling intimidated. they're controlling you, Terry. You need to get them reined in a bit :-)

lol

but at least they don't go around and tell everyone else how to run their conferences...*wink*

wer, you gotta minute? (wow, look at the green!)

smacks you in the face and says, Pay Attention!, doesn't it? I like...

I like too.

yes, wer, i'm obviously guilty of that. if it's ok with you, i'll .killfile riette so that i can't help her get a header in Art. is that ok? can i change my underwear?

That's not where I was going, and you know that. About the underwear: what an odd question! the only way I know to answer that is, not sure, I can't smell them in Texas yet...

You'll killfile me? How? With a gun? Actually I prefer the sambok, if that's okay with you - my topic doesn't really belong here anyway. As long as you two help me get that header!

working on it, "babe" with her own topic...

HA-HA!!! I AM NO BABE!!!!!

au contrare (sp.?), mon ami

�blushing like a silly teenager!�

can i post it, riette? can i? can i? lemmeeeeee...lemmeeee show em what a boodiful lady you is!!

and btw, if you've got pics, autumn, then please post em:) pleeeeeease :) puhleeeeeeeeeese ;))))))

Sure, but I warn you, the others will be totally dissapointed - think I have the most boring face on this planet. Can't even say that it bothers me. Very interested to see what Autumn and Stacey look like, though, and I really hope they post themselves so that you guys can have some proper girls to look at.

and, Wolf, too, of course...

oh, but of course :)

The only problem is that every picture of myself has at least one of my daughters in it, and I feel very uneasy putting my kids' pictures out in cyberspace for some reason. I'll have to finish off my vacation roll of film wwith some pics of just me, and then my brother can scan them.

GREAT!! Come on, Wolfie, send that picture, make the guys HOWL!

if you send the scanned picture to me, then i can remove them from the picture in photoshop. i'm more than happy to do that.

Sounds good! Now I guess I've got to wash my hair...

Nah, just make a bun!

there you go! the school marm fetish!

Something for everyone! So, are you going to wear your fancy white hat on your picture, Wer? You don't have to wear anything else . ..

don't need to...the body hair is thick enough, thank you very much...

Ooh! Catman!

i like being here it feels good it's where i go to recoup my losses it's like being way up north and seeing the sun rising over the snow and the warmth comes in for like one last look at the sunset the fallen bridge returns to its original span across reinforced strength i like to walk in the Autumn rhythm and look out on our world where rain gives drink to the woods and green fields any feeling, pure and simple, wants to be with me here and life comes knocking at the door i open it to say hello and there you are i like being here....it feels good....you're a song that reaches in and gives sound to color to move on and open out and grow and live and it's so Autumn....so you....

hello, Jim! You are always a breath of fresh air.

especially in the midst of an industrialized world...

question: why is Autumn the only resident babe with her own topic who doesn't host a conference?

Because she sleeps until 9:30 every day?

no, that's not it...

Then what could it be?

that's my question!!!!!

It's quite a conundrum...

much like this topic's namesake, no?

Hey, it's not easy being a mystery wrapped in an enigma!

or being the most tortured soul...

I think we're carrying it off well though, don't you?

I believe so, yes...

It really isn't that difficult ... and I see through it, even if he does not. But, your secret is safe with me.

Oh! You seeee through it! Wow. Wer, be careful. Might just be she does, too! Alexander Resident Bigot, The Spring P.S.: Marcia, don't worry! Your secret is save with me, too. Won't tell a soul no word I won't. Well, you get it...

Alexander is back!!! and he and Marcia have a secret! (well, not by Stacey's definition, but...)

...and he is about to join Mike in the low-blood sugar fainting club, especially with the latest revelations from the Spring Gallery in his mind. MIKE, WAKE UP! Our prayers have been heard! There is a, a, there's a good... a good... There's Autumn!

�loudly blowing the sax�

*musically* Aloha Alexander! *smiling smugly* (I think I killed the secret by posting the Golden Goose...Rats!)

Ha-ha!!

Autumn is a babe! She looks like Mariel Hemingway!

Oh, Terry...you have been far too busy lately. I posted her pictures for her in Spring Gallery some months ago!

I saw it there, but if Stacey were here, I'd ask her if I could say "Woo-Hoo!"

It's been 15 months since Mike begged for a picture of Autumn the statuesque beauty and yesterday I stumbled across it in Marcia's directory. There's another picture there, a close up.

It's not that I've been busy, I've been in telnet where there are no pictures!

Well, have you ever seen my picture? It is there, as well

Lest you become disappointed, I do not consider myself a babe...ever! However, it is possible to tell when graphics are posted by the command string...and my comment "Here's Autumn" (or something like that)...

I'm just getting caught up on these pictures. It's so neat to see what folks here look like. I saw the picture of you at the booth and I think I commented on it or asked something about it, it was when I first realized you were in Hawaii.

Ah yes, and you guessed - naturally - that UH was for University of Houston...then corrected it quickly to Hawaii...! Yes! It is neat to see how incredibly great looking our mentor and master is, too. I was most impressed!

Where is our Autumn these days, that summer wanes and fall is near?

Especially since her 'babes' topic is heaing up so much! This is her season.

Indeed!

When I watched Howdy Doody as a kid, it was always the season for Princess Summerfallwinterspring.

is she okay after all the rains??? she's on the east coast right?? oh Autumn... our beautimous Autumn... where are ya? (and are you okay?)

She's in Baltimore, Maryland, is she not? They got a whole lot of rain. Autumn, surface and let us know if your are growing gills yet!

Go, Autumn, Go! or rather Come, Autumn, Come!!!

And rather sooner 'n later!

This may not be too promising.

Unless she was asleep at the time...

where is our Autumn Babe? Please check in!!!

All points babe bulletin for Autumn! Someone, email or call her please.

Terry I will try email again...

It just went out...If I do not get it back as undeliverable, we should hear from her. I begged and pleaded...!

Autumn's back! yay!

Wow, you beat me to it!! Here she is, ladies and gentlemen! ha-ha! Thank you all for your thoughtfulness and concern during the hurricane. We have emerged unscathed and with a new appreciation for those who must endure natural disasters on a regular basis. Being without power for a while doesn't seem like much when some people are losing homes. It's pretty funny that you're running that picture again--that's me at my high school reunion last year, and I wore that dress again last night to my husband's reunion. Did I mention I got in at 3:30 a.m.?! Woo-Hoo!!!

Hey ho, ho hey! Glad to see you're well and happy, girl! (It's a great dress, by the way.)

What material is that dress?

It's a shimmery lycra deal. And it is hot!

(From Pointcast's CMP.net channel:) Enjoying Autumn's Pleasures Online (09/13/99) It may be getting a little colder, but the air's crispness and the intensity of autumn's colors make summer just a hazy memory. I, for one, look forward to fall, and I have a few cool suggestions for going online to celebrate it. Continued...

You personally, or the Pointcast people?

I gotta tell you, I was holding my breath when I saw that by-line. For a moment there I was afraid someone had installed a webcam in my bedroom!

Oh my! Nasty surprise, no?!

*You personally, or the Pointcast people? The Pointcast people, Marcia, the Pointcast people... though perhaps not exclusively... Autumn, sorry to say that wasn't what *I* was thinking, but it can be read that way, yeah. I just loved the title line... Pardon me if this scared you, 't was not my intention.

Ah, Alexander!~ It is so good to see you on the day we all go turkey diving, with the exception of the lady whose name is this topic. She is haveing tofurky. Have no idea - gonna have to asjk her about it.

..also gonna have to stop posting in CRT until I learn unix editing...sorry!

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving (and Alexander and Riette, I hope you two enjoyed Nov. 25 as well!) All my neighbors have their Xmas trees up and houses decorated. It's nauseating. Everyone here knows I bitch about this every year.

I know what you mean. I saw the funniest-saddest thing in Sears two days before Halloween. A little kid had just happened on Sears' Christmas goodies display with her mother - a wail emerged from the little kid: "We missed Halloween!!! Look! It's already Christmas!!!" The poor kid was all ready to go Trick-or-Treating and here she though it was over already. Too sad!

I picked up some Christmas tree lights at Walmart (Riettes family store), but that's about as far as I've made it. Oh, I got a present for my dad. I usually wait till the last second. I'm getting a tiny Christmas tree for the Cedar Creek house from one of my roommates and I bought a $7.99 set of lights that plays 50 Christmas tunes from the drugstore on Airport Blvd. So I won't have to harvest a Cedar or Pine tree out in the woods this year, I suppose. The plastic ones are getting realer looking.

I am such a fan of trees that I cannot bear to have one cut for me to die in my living room. Thus, I have small synthetic ones in just about every room. I think you will learn to hate that one which plays the incessant tunes all computer generated on a tinny-sounding chip and without inflection...I disabled mine about the second time through the "tunes." The plastic ones are indeed getting realer-looking. I just catch the sweepeings from the real-tree sellers and put them around for the scent. Works just fine!

Nov 25th - musta been one of the days lost in production haze...

Happy to see you posting again, Alexander! I was becoming worried about your well-being and about to fire off an email to you...Happy post-production!

Thanks! And hiya, Autumn, too!

Wie gehts, Alexander? Umm...Gut Yul? (or is that Norwegian?) Are you ready for Y2K--I'm assuming there's a similar "panic" associated with New Year's in Europe as well. We're hunkering down in our bunker with our Sterno and a case of canned yams!

We're having our y2k crisis early. digihost told Network solutions to move our nameservers and it's really messing up things. If you're reading this, it's a miracle.

A miracle ideed! It only took 12 hours and plaintive wailing on IM and email to get in...finally! Mahalo!

Happy New Millenium, it started about 5 am this morning out in the Pacific, I guess Hawaii will be the grand finale.

Hauoli Makahiki Hou, Autumn! Yup! We get the next century after it has been crash-tested by the rest of the world. I am watching closely and was hoping to be on Spring in something other than black and white...*sigh*

Happy 2000! Some of the new year footage was just breathtaking--especially the Eiffel Tower and the Wash. monument.

Eiffel Tower was great, but for me London outdid them all. All of that fantastic history and the most spectacular fireworks at the same time! I'm just wondering what kind of haze is circling the earth this morning due to smoke from all of this.

There was a big controversy surrounding the Washington Monument display. It's been undergoing restoration for years (I know I've seen scaffolding around it for at least the past two years), and the restorationists were really angered that now it's nice and clean the fireworks/sparkler displays were going to stain it. Our tax dollars at work!

I thought we had the worst display and that angered the house critic. Until you have cleaned off black powder residue you do not know what a mess it leaves behind. I am sure that scaffolding is not only stained but also not nearly as strong as it was before the flash powder got to it. But our politicians are nothing if not self-applauding, and we have a real "good" one of those in the white house spending our tax dollars...!

My favorite was Sydney Harbor, maybe just because it was the first big display, Paris and London were awesome.

You're right, Autumn, Sydney harbor was great but it happened before we stumbled out of bed at 5am so all we saw was the retrospect. I am really sorry I did not get to see that as it happened!

...and Terry...Shoulda stayed up all night...*sigh* Next year when the actual new Millennium begins.... Gee, graphics in here!!! Yippee!!!

Los Angeles was the most pathetic. Did you see that? They went to Home Depot and bought a dozen folored floodlights and lit up the Hollywood sign.

Tacky and pathetic. I missed it, Terry...but, not much! That was it?!

That was it, they lit up the Hollywood sign with some colored lights. Low budget!

Low budget and even lower class. What's the matter with those supposedly creative folks out there?!

They, uh, don't earn 'coz nobody's buyin' into creativity and originality these days, since as-good-as-mockery of either can be had for free or cheaper, courtesy of some multinational corporation... How'd y'all spend that night? I was with friends, having a small affair, about eight people. Very peaceful and nice evening, made unforgettable by a regional tv station's rerun of appearances from music shows of the 70ies... Complete with Abba, Boney M, DeeDee Jackson, Chic, and the whole Disco scene... Incredible disco and dance/soul stuff... Fancy space-style stage-wear... Right until 4 a.m., when I went home. (Oh, and also a nice buffet, if that's what you call it en ingles.)

Tis indeed called a buffet if you serve yourself and wander around to eat it rather than sitting at the table bearing the food. We consumed lots of hot tea, chicken soup and cough medicine then went to bed early. At least I did. Happy you had a splendid time and did enough celebrating for both of us! Happy New Year, Alexander!

We are supposed to get snow tonight/tomorrow--yeah!

Make snow-angels for me, please! I love snow and it is 30 miles away - straight up most of the way... It is cold here, too. We drove up to Kilauea's summit yesterday and it was 50� at 6pm. Betcha it got a lot colder over night...and water freezes as 55� in Hawaii!!!

How interesting! At what temperature does it boil?

Autumn: "Gut Yul?" That's norwegian, I guess. Ask the resident Norwegian, Terry. We say "Fr�hliche Weihnachten!", which is Joyous Holy-Nights if you'd insist on translating literally. Merry Christmas. To The Moores, too, and I hope your year started as joyful, too. (So I was late. What'l yall do? Fire me?)

Whoa, that's a mouthful! At least I've got a whole year to practice it! Do you celebrate Valentine's Day?

Nope, but it's taking hold here... Another US export, like Mother's Day (which the Nazis supposedly imported, BTW), and Halloween, which is starting to get attention around here.

I'm sure water boiling temp was a rhetorical question, but on top of our mountains it boils without getting very hot. Depends on where you are. Sea level it is the same as everywhere else. It just feels different! Alexander, considering that Halloween is a good old Keltic holiday, and your neck of the woods being fraught with things Keltic, it is only proper that it be celebrated there!

It's been 5 years since Autumn Moore posted here!

really? hey autumn, come look at your topic!!

she was still a little kid when she last posted. Barely made the age limit, wasn't it? Next thing we'll be having is grandchildren of springeurs. How appalling... or not...

Yeah, I know how dangerous that can be.

Put me down as one of those who misses Autumn, too.
