I had a poem to post last night for this thread, but decided it was too personal, then the 'Cat went down, so it's probably just as well. So, here's the thought, let's all tell what we did while the 'Cat was down!
I posted to the help forum
The ole brain creaked into motion
Still a cord of whiz-bang binding So...what did you do?

Got slightly paranoid that it might just be me that had been "barred" from the 'Cat because of something I'd said.... I tried every which way and finally after nothing for the whole day ragtime let me in!!!! Withdrawal symptoms were worse than I could ever have imagined! best wishes, Yvonne |

08 Oct 00 - 09:00 PM (#314488) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - October 8, 2000 From: WyoWoman I mostly learned Kate Rusby's "I Am Stretched on Your Grave." I re-wrote the outline to a novel I've been working on. I had intestinal flu. This could have been withdrawal symptoms, I realize now. I played guitar until my fingertips hurt. This is what I'm trying to do every day. Masochistic, yes, but it seems to be being effective ... And THAT's what I did in school today, dear little ones of mine ... ww |

Rog had the flu all day, too, so I got to play nursemaid; yippee!! I am repelling the flu. And, ummmm, when you get down to the bone, um, I think it's okay to stop practising.**BG** Yvonne, I KNOW! I don't suffer as much as I used to when it goes down, but it still leaves a hole about the size of Texas...I miss everyone! kat |

09 Oct 00 - 04:20 AM (#314516) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - October 8, 2000 From: BlueJay Spent about three hours on a really nice Tacoma acoustic bass, jamming with my daughter on flute and my son in law on guitar and mandola. OK, I exagerate: part of my time wasspent on guitar and mandolin. But the bass is fairly new to me, and this is the first time I'd really played an acoustic one. What a treat. The Tacoma is set up well, and very responsive. A real pleasure for me to play, almost like a guitar except you have to lower your ears a bit and grow your fingers about an inch. It's amazing the amount of black that can be put on our fingertips playing bass. Plus, my fingers are forming calluses where they'd never dreamed! Oh, well, it sure was fun. Thanks, BlueJay |

With a name like WW I imagine you riding on a horse bareback through the Teton Range keeping law and order amongst the tourist & locals. I bought a TV & VCR. I gave that kind of thing up about 2 years ago but decided it was time to come back to the planet. I rented The Green Mile with Tom Hanks, great movie. I went shopping for a stand to put the TV & VCR on, but everything I liked was a gazillion dollars. So I came home and while parking I saw beside the dumpster that someone had thrown out a lovely oak chest. It was very old and in excellent condition except for one leg that had fallen off. But the leg was there and it was no big deal to put it back on. The thing was gorgeous and very valuable. Well there it was, a gift from the Universe, my new entertainment unit. Felt mighty fortunate yesterday, and I feel mighty fortunate today because the Mudcat is back up and running. Little Neo |

Into the valley of decorating
Whilst Mudcat had deserted me
The furniture from the sitting -room
Oh, that Mudcat had never left

10 Oct 00 - 04:35 AM (#315335) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - October 8, 2000 From: GUEST,Seth in China I'm teaching 5th, 6th and 7th graders in China. I'm from Washington state. Every morning we wake up to an instumental version of " Sexual Healing" played over the school p.a. syste, to every dormitory and apartment. I use a lot of music for my teaching. My students liked " How -Di Do " by Woody Guthrie, but not as much as Songs by James Brown and the Temptations. On another note, I'd like to know what things people did with their record collections when CD's took over. Somehow I can't part with my 5000 lps, and so I am paying to store them while I'm in China. Best to all from under the "A" in "China" |
