Even more of what I ate today

~terry Thu, Dec 30, 1999 (09:31) #101

Hope y'all don't miss each other. Toast, two pieces and coffee. I'm trying to line up a rig today to go pick up some lumber, I've lined up enough free lumber to build three decks out in Cedar Creek. Yahoo! I'll probably eat a big lunch.

~autumn Thu, Dec 30, 1999 (17:06) #102

pizza truffles banana chocolate-covered coffee beans salad cappucino Good luck with the home improvement project, Terry! That's great that you have the weather to tackle those projects in winter. Marcia, where is John...?

~MarciaH Thu, Dec 30, 1999 (20:29) #103

He is on his winter break which means he is working twice as hard as before and has very little spare time (and Spring gobbles up time like a ravenous dog!). He is subbing for the guy who does the morning wake-up showw and taping a 6 hours FM show for the next morning each day. He is actually on against himself. This evening he will be broadcasting the Vulcan Basketball game, as well. He shows up at 5am and writes his own news stories...he is a very hard worker and has not much down time. Hisd 6th issue of Hawaii Island Journal is out, too. And he is doing all of the write-ups for the Hall of Fame plaques and newspaper articles. In between we exchange email. He does want to come back to Spring asap, so I am hoping it will be soon! I miss him here and I know you do, as well!

~stacey Tue, Jan 4, 2000 (10:18) #107

Happy new year everyone... I've eaten and drinkin in gluttonous fashion...\ munching on Chex mix as I type!

From John Burnett Please tell everybody hello. But Ray still has to talk to me and tell me it's okay from his own mouth. That may or may not happen (I won't hold my breath), but I don't feel like another threatening round of e-mails, whether he means to make good on the threats or not. Sorry I did not get his permission to post private email, but I thought you should know that this rather ordinary and truly peace-loving lady is still the cause of the absence from Spring of the best minds out there. I feel very sad and angry about that. It almost came to blows the other day...

toast and coffee w/ half and half this morning. It's about 20 degrees cooler in Austin this morning. I wanted to thank Evelyn, Karen and the many others who have sent condolence cards about my mothers passing, I really appreciate these kind sentiments. And special thanks to Ann for the generous contribution as well.

~MarciaH Thu, Jan 20, 2000 (13:44) #120

Terry, you should have at least one more hand-written card and another donation check...not the size of Ann's but it is what can be managed. coffee rice and sausages water sunflower seeds potato chips (hungry!) water

~MarciaH Thu, Jan 20, 2000 (14:05) #121

Autumn, it is another case of IO imagining things which are not there. In this case John and I engaging in something less than honorable but he is not sure what and he thinks we do it on The Spring which IO has never visited and never wants to. I can talk, plead and try to convince him otherwise, but it is like talking to a wall. One of these days one of the accused gentlemen will stand up to him and tell him he is a crazy old man who is way too ancient to be bullying other adults to stay away from an nnocent woman. I am heartily sick of it! If he has any place to go, I'd kick him out!

~terry Fri, Jan 21, 2000 (09:05) #122

Thanks Marci! Just coffee so far.

~autumn Sun, Jan 23, 2000 (14:07) #123

How bizarre! You can email him and such, you just can't talk here at the spring? Does he think this is an illicit cybersex lair? Poor Marcia! I hope your friendship with John hasn't suffered as a result. banana decaf cappucino large bowl of gazpacho

~MarciaH Sun, Jan 23, 2000 (20:22) #124

Actually and happily it has made me closer to John. He is very dear and I treasure his uniqueness as he appreciates mine. Yup, IO thinks at least that is what I do here... Eventhough he knows my ex, the conservative academic has logged in here at the Spring and my son has been reading and suggesting things for Geo (and sent me the eclipse photos to post there.) John's exile is self-imposed...but he answers all posts I send to him. I just wish he could come back. I think I'm gonna have to do something myself - perhaps tomorrow evening at the baseball game which John will be broadcasting and we will be sitting near to the press box in our usual places. Coffee eggs, toast, bacon popcorn tangerines (2) sunflower seeds springrolls and rice water and more water

hi-hi! Sorry I've been quiet. Went to Africa, and the studies make things hectic around here. Sprin 5 ... Stacey, is that YOU?? Are the Russians after you, woman??

~MarciaH Thu, Mar 9, 2000 (10:39) #135

Hi Sweetie! Sprin5 is the one account for email from the New Server so it can be only Terry or one of the other guys with access to be sysadm - as in the one who set up Geo...! Welcome home! *hugs*

[Stacey is busy at the moment, I gather from a reply I received. She'll be back soon.]

~stacey Fri, Mar 17, 2000 (19:50) #137

HOW--DEE! Hiya Reehead, glad to see some words from you! I started a new job everyone... MSHOW.com... (engineering base in Austin guys!) as an instructional designer... lovin it. Tonight was our first big meeting (that I've been around for) and, to stay on topic, they provided all sorts of yummy goodies after the fact... sushi, veggie eggrolls, stuffed mushrooms, shrimp and scallops, spinach in Phyllo dough, crostini... OOOh, I'm fullup!

~MarciaH Sat, Mar 18, 2000 (13:38) #138

Congrats, Stace! Sounds like a really neat job! And you get to eat, too?! Theymust have some cafeteria *grin* How did your second marathon go?

~sociolingo Sat, Mar 18, 2000 (14:49) #139

Mmm sounds like a cushy job - got any vacancies??? I saw this programme once about japan where they had these geisha girls who act as plates - they lie down and the food is arranged on them and the guys (has to be guys doesn't it) eat off them!!!! Imagine lying still for hours while these guys poke around food on you. Yuk!!!

~MarciaH Sat, Mar 18, 2000 (16:17) #140

Curious! Firth-worshippers know of feasts like that from watching one of his early movies, "Hour of the Pig" released in the US as "The Advocate" about medieval France. A pre-Easter feast featured one such banquet. Yuck! Unless I get to choose the partakers...!

~sociolingo Sat, Mar 18, 2000 (16:20) #141

I suppose it could be fun in the right company!!! You should see some of the things (food sort) they have in the student union shop, even H was surprised!!!!!

Wow! Fascinating (trying to picture this...*grin*)...Did not know pasta came in those shapes! Make's mother's admonishion that I not suck my spaghetti into my mouth take on a whole new dimention. Thanks for the education...I can just imagine the names they gave the pasta *smirk*

~sociolingo Sun, Mar 19, 2000 (04:24) #146

This is not funny mother daughter talk!!! I was embarassed! She was amazed my Uni authorities let them sell it.

~MarciaH Sun, Mar 19, 2000 (13:12) #147

I can well believe it was not funny...however had you and I been there together, that just might have been more humorous...What does the Uni gain by selling this stuff other than skyrocketing sales?

~MarciaH Sun, Mar 19, 2000 (14:16) #149

Um...the lamb sounds wonderful and I'll bet it is fresh lamb - something quite rare in Hawaii...*sigh* (as is ostrich, bison, chukkar, venison and other exotic sources of protein.) I am hungry now for something I cannot have. (What else is new?!) Think I'll go make a braunsweiger sandwich...!

~sociolingo Sun, Mar 19, 2000 (20:46) #150

Rooibosch tea strawberry fromage fraise (2.30 am) No, the lamb was frozen. Fresh is expensive! Forgot the mint sauce.

No mint sauce?! Blasphemy! Especially the lovely English kind with minced leaves in a vinegar bath - none of that incipid jelly for them!

~autumn Sun, Mar 26, 2000 (21:53) #167

Thanks, ladies, for all your well wishes. I think I've finally turned the corner. I didn't have to sleep sitting up last night! Yeah! Hope all of you are staying healthy...fevers are out of control here. (Maggie--qu'est-ce que vous avez mange' aujourd'hui?)

~MarciaH Sun, Mar 26, 2000 (22:17) #168

Poor Autumn...It is good to hear you are on the upswing again. Be prepared to have it hang around for a while, though. Btw, I posted another pic of David (a much younger David) in Geo http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/Geo/2.161 What is a mother doing letting her kid camp at the base of an active vent?! I never saw this picture till he sent it to me today...!

~sprin5 Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (00:07) #169

I had popcorn and ice cream during the academy awards. And a little Fetzer wine.

~sociolingo Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (04:33) #170

What's Fetzer wine?

~sprin5 Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (06:46) #171

It's a brand name. They sell it in HEB. It's a medium priced white Chadonnay, though I also got the Merlot this week, and it's my "table wine" around here.

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (13:48) #172

I really would have missed the entire show if I had had wine with my popcorn. This cork-sniffer had good old from-God-to-my-glass Hilo water with mine!

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (13:49) #173

(don't know what HEB is, either...)

~sociolingo Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (15:00) #174

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only ignorant one!!!! We have a box of British wine open just now. It's very nice, light and fruity.

~sociolingo Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (15:09) #175

(Bonsoir Autumn, cette matin, avant je suis all�e au gymnase, pour le petit d�jeuner j'ai mang� deux tranches du pain et j'ai bu une tasse de caf�.) Marcia please note translation!!! Good evening Autumn, this morning before i went to the gym I ate two slices of bread and I drank a cup of coffee. (pour le d�jeuner j'ai mang� le potage des carottes et des herbes, des ailes des poules chinoise et des l�gumes frites, et un petit fromage frais.) for lunch I ate carrot and coriander soup, chinese chicken wings and stir fry vegetables, and a small fromage frais (that doesn't translate sorry!)

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (16:16) #176

Got the untranslatable fresh cheese...thanks for the others. I knew you weren't talking about me...*grin* Autumn will be delighted to find another Francophone on the Spring! Coffee Bagel with cream cheese leftovers of some sort (have not decided yet...)

~sociolingo Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (16:32) #177

(I don't really count as a francophone - I'm a learner!) Just having supper - coffee made with milk. what are your bagels like? I only had them once - cinnamon ones and well, I wasn't too keen. Maybe they're not the same here. I like cream cheese though.

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (16:36) #178

You can get ones which are actually chewable now. I hate the tough ones...they take a lot of liquid to get them to a swallowable state and you have a tired jaw when you are finished your meal. The ones we get now have all sorts of flavorings(onion, poppyseed, raisin and cinnamon, plain) and are tender enough to bite and chew properly. Bagles have come a long way since they were boiled the old fashioned way.

~sociolingo Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (16:40) #179

I guess I must have had the other kind, they were really tough. I love cinnamon on anything. G'night.

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (17:01) #180

I like cinnamon on just about everything....Hmmm...just thought of something on which I have not tried it *grin* (NOT gonna tell ya!)

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (17:03) #181

Now, stop reading this, fill out your census form and mail that sucker back to the government. I did mine 2 weeks ago - the day it arrived!

~sprin5 Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (21:07) #182

Bout to eat some mushroom thing.

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (21:17) #183

Made by you? What else is in it and how did it taste? Left over stir-fry over rice.

~sprin5 Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (22:16) #184

It was Wolfgang Puck frozen mushroom ravioli and some leftover Conaan's pizza from the other night. Conaan's is down on 29th and the Drag next to Vulvan video (furrin' flick place), and Oat Willies.

~MarciaH Mon, Mar 27, 2000 (23:07) #185

....um...sure. Gotcha and on my Austin map I cannot even find the Drag (I gather that is not named thusly because the people there dress that way?) I'll just understand that you cooked none of it and .... you did some serious carbo intake. Nuthin' to wash it down?

~sprin5 Tue, Mar 28, 2000 (08:49) #186

The Drag is Guadalupe Street, it runs north and south through the University of Texas at one point. The people who beg for change are sometimes called dragworms. I waved the mushroom ravioli. I got some Onward Through the Fog bumper stickers at Oat Willies.

~MarciaH Tue, Mar 28, 2000 (12:20) #187

I noted that you have an uncommon amount of fog considering that it is just now spring. All those lakes and cool air? What sort of things does Oat Willie purvey? I'm guessing it is a bar or a cookie stand (oatmeal cookies are really good!) Gotcha on Guadalupe Street...found it! (Love "dragworms")

~sprin5 Wed, Mar 29, 2000 (02:58) #188

Oat Willies is a "head shop"; they sell India print bedspreads, comic books, roach clips, incense burners, Primo Incense, etc.

~MarciaH Wed, Mar 29, 2000 (11:31) #189

Gotcha...perilously few of them in Hilo...we do have a branch of India Imports which I suppose sells much the same things, even the occasional roach clip as an art object. But, what an odd name for the store. Sounds kinds rough around the edged and not somewhere one would go to furnish their home with interesting stuff. Thanks for furthering my education *smile*

~sprin5 Wed, Mar 29, 2000 (14:42) #190

Oat Willies has been around Austin at least 20 years. They're a reminder of the past.

~MarciaH Wed, Mar 29, 2000 (14:55) #191

Not when Austin was a frontier town, surely...past as in the 60's? (Sheesh - that would have been 40 years ago - before you were born?!
