This is my first time growing potatoes and i am a total noob when it comes to gardening. A few days ago my potato plant had a bit of a whitefly infestation so i looked up remedies online and found that whiteflies could be deterred by using a solution of 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water with a bit of dish washing liquid. i tried to get as much of the whitefly eggs off by using a rag, maybe i shouldn't have done that as i bruised some leaves? So i sprayed the plant with the solution and the following morning i saw that the leaves had dark spots underneath and some of the leaves had already turned a real dark brown and have curled up. What did i do wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
What you sprayed probably was too harsh for the plants, that is not a good plant spray. Time of day the spray was applied is also a factor. An Insecticidal Soap spray, applied either early in the morning or at dusk, is somewhat effective as would a Neem Oil spray. The linked article below may be of some use. |

What did i do wrong? ==>>>> you over-reacted .... and used some voodoo remedy in high concentration ... and expected an immediate .. perfect result ... all to do now.. is give it time.. and see how new.. fresh.. unaffected shoots develop if they remain free of the problem.. then problem solved if not... we will act then ... i suspect.. that all the browning is where the bug assaulted the leaf surface.. and your remedy.. then burned the already affected area ... or your stuff just burned it gratuitously .... now.. as a noob... how did you define whitefly as the issue .. and are you 100 % sure they werent something else???? the first rule of noob-dom.. is dont over react ... the plant would not have died.. had you waited a few days .. confirmed the Id.. and asked us for some suggestions ... 50% of anything tells me.. its too harsh .. unless its 100% water ... all that said ... this will end up a rather large plant.. a few discolored leaves wont mean much of anything in the long run .... #2 rule for noob.. dont love it to death ... lol good luck ken ps: in 40 years of gardening.. i have NEVER used rubbing alcohol on a plant .... never occurred to me to hose down a plant with alcohol ... myself ... maybe.. lol ... but not the rubbing stuff |
Thanks for the help guys. I think you guys are right. I think that the solution was way too harsh and that these are something like chemical burns. The plant is doing okay. the new shoots dont have any of those burns. For the future though, are these really whiteflies? And don't worry next time i'll try to restrain myself from doing anything drastic and not love them to death, haha |
A number of methods of control of Whitefly are listed in the link I supplied above, starting with Yellow Sticky Traps and sprays of water to Insecticidal Soaps to Neem Oil sprays. Due care in the use of broad spectrum poisons is necessary since they not only will kill off any predators but will also kill off the beneficials and pollinators. |
Adult white flies............uhm.......fly when they're disturbed. Do you have flying white insects on your plant? If you have white fly, you will get eggs 'glued' on to primarily the undersides of the leaves. Your picture may be misleading, because there is no size reference to the tiny white specks, but it doesn't even look like white fly. |

lspangler Posts: 102I used to own a Chevy pick up that i removed the huge metal CHEVROLET from across the entire tailgate, I also removed all of the black molding down the side of the truck and I removed the SILVERADO badges from the B-pillar. All this was done with a heat gun. Afterwards, I used some paint prep to remove the wax lines and then I put a good coat of wax over the newly exposed surfaces. The paint prep is a clenaer meant to remove all contaminents from the body so it can be painted. It will remove all wax, tar and adhesive.
gitarzan Posts: 66I just removed the dealer's ugly plastic logo badge this afternoon.
1. I took some dental floss and it flossed right off. I was suprised how quickly it went right through it. I used J&J Reach Cinnamon Waxed Floss, if that makes any difference!
2. I took the wifey's hair drier and put a little heat on the remaining foam tape. I then rolled the tape off with my fingers. I was able to roll off about an inch at time. It took about 3-4 mintues to get it all off.
3. I then wiped it down with Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover and that removed any residual gum.
It looks Mah-Velous. So much better. I hate advertising for free. I also removed the license plate covers with the ads on it. -

desaljs Posts: 24In order to remove stickers use a product called GOO GONE. This is available in all sorts of stores like Wal-Mart etc. This is a citrus based product and works great. Remove what you can of the sticker, then apply it to the glue residue and wait a minute or two. Revove slowly and continue to re-apply until the glue is dissolved. I have used this on loads of things (including CD cases) and it never damaged anything. I now have no fear about putting stickers on anything since I know this product will remove them. I have treated stains on clothing and even removed gum from carpet with this stuff. I usually use a paper towel to apply and remove the product.
dwasson Posts: 4I just used the Hair Dryer & Dental Floss dealer sticker removal method and it worked wonderfully. No Goo-Gone was necessary only a little water and a sponge. I used Oral-B mint dental floss and it left my car with a clean minty taste. To the person who posted this method thank you.
odie6l Hershey, PaPosts: 1,082If you want to get the Pine tar off easier try using Rain-X. After I wash my car I sometimes (3x a yr) I will take a piece of imitation wool (strictly for this purpose) add put a coat of Rain-X on my car.
There are 2 real good reasons for this.
1. Water runs off alot faster than wax, but clears off really fast after it's been waxed and rain-xed. Plus, you can just spray your car with the garden hose to clean it off quickly.
2. Pollen, Goose-poo, Bird-poo, Any-poo, and Pine tar don't stick as much

gonzo0903 Posts: 7You should go to an auto body supply store and get some Dupont Prep-sol or similar automotive solvent. Detailers and auto body shops use it to remove old waxes, road tar and other contaminants as part of the detailing process. Apply it to a soft terry cloth and rub gently Depending on the how thick or hard the sap is, you may have to go over an area a few times to totally remove the sap. You didn't say what kind of sap it was. Pine tree sap is highly acidic and can etch into the paint finish. Tree sap should be removed as soon as possible to eliminate the problem!
bretfraz Posts: 2,021They make a couple of great products.
One is a general purpose adhesive cleaner. That stuff takes off anything.
Another is a specific product for tree sap and road goo. Comes in a pump spray.
3M stuff is easy to find - try your local NAPA auto parts. Or you can order online from 3M's Online store.
good luck!! -

Husband's estate left to son, not Smith
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court will discuss whether Anna Nicole Smith's estate should get part of the fortune left behind by her elderly Texas billionaire husband. That's according to the Associated Press.
Lawyers for Smith, who is deceased, plan to provide evidence today that her estate deserves around $1.6 billion from her late J. Howard Marshall's estate. Marshall's will left nearly all his money to his son, E. Pierce Marshall, and nothing to Smith. Before Smith died, she testified that Marshall promised to leave her more than $300 million.
However, a federal appeals court sided with a Houston jury that said Marshall was mentally fit when he left his estate to his son and nothing to Smith.
Marshall died in 1995, his son died in 2006 and Smith died in 2007.

Current Tape Reviews
Artist Name: Travis T. Warren |
Title: Hotel Song 1 |
Date Posted: July 2009 |
Genre: Rock and Pop |
Macbook Pro with Digi 002 Rack running Pro Tools 7.4 and Propellerhead Reason (underneath beat), Line 6 Gearbox and Waves plug-ins. Focusrite ISA-One preamp, Universal Audio M610 preamp, PreSonus DigiMax. BLUE microphones: Kiwi, Blueberry, Woodpecker for vocals and overheads on drums, Shure SM57 on snare and toms, Shure Beta 52A and Yamaha Subkick on kick drum. Gibson acoustic guitar, Fender Jazz Bass.
Hotel Song #1 is a male vocal rock song. Travis did it all in his home studio.
Over the years we have been privileged to follow not only the march of technology in our industry, but also the continued raising of the bar in terms of both the performing and recording skill sets of our readers. Trust us when we tell you that you folks are making huge strides out there.
That said, we have yet to come across an instance where any of you have begun your journey as a recordist first, musician second. Not saying it hasnt happened, but if it has, we are unaware of it. So why is this important? Well, its simply that the musician side of the equation has in most cases had a fairly large head start in terms of attention and time spent in practice. When we stop to realize that, to a large extent, the recording process resembles the playing of an instrument, time spent in practice becomes a critical factor. With this in mind, then, lets see how Travis did with his submission.
The track certainly starts out on a good note. The acoustic guitars are nicely panned and have a slightly edgy rock feel to them. Unfortunately this same expansive feel doesnt apply when the rest of the sound sources enter. Instead we are met with a fairly clogged center, and coupled with the fact that Travis voice, the guitars, the snare and cymbals all exist in rather sympathetic frequency ranges, we begin to experience some unflattering high-mid frequency buildup. We also found that the snare volume was overwhelming at times, and the short reverb applied to it felt somewhat out of character with the rock ballad vibe.
Suggestions: Panning and frequencies are but two of a whole host of ways that a recordist can play a mix. Understanding their impact is as important as understanding chord changes and amp settings, and of course the more you practice, the better you get. In the case of Hotel Song #1 we suggest that Travis try adopting our recordist/musician theory and begin to examine the relationship between all of the elements that comprise his mix.
Travis is obviously well past the novice level with his recording skills and his musicianship. Just as a guitarist has the freedom to choose string gauges, pickups, speakers, etc., a recordist has similar options regarding panning, eq, reverb, and other ingredients. We suggest he experiment and practice his chops starting with opening up the center of his mix, and really take notice of the symbiotic relationship between all the various elements. Each one affects the other in ways that may surprise you.
Summary: Play away!

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
So I'm considering on getting starhawk for christmas and I was wondering if the community here is still fairly active. I want to get this game because I'm a big fan of large scale battles that can go on for quite some time, that and I really enjoyed it back in the beta. Overall, is the game still going strong or is it a ghost town?
Well I never played warhawk but I like I said I played starhawk back when it was in closed beta so I got the basics and what have you.

My husband and I are planning an addition to our house. The rest of the house does NOT have grids in the windows. I wish they did. And unfortunately replacing them would be for appearance only. :( However with the addition, there will be a sunroom, visible from the front of the house. I think it would be ok to put in windows with grids, he thinks it would look stupid. Opinions? |

So keep the continuity? The windows will still be different than the rest of the house because they'll be larger. The rest of the house has a "normal" window that pushes up and down. So no grids. :( |

Understand this – Tips To Help You With Cosmetic Surgery
You may have health issues that you should work on before considering cosmetic surgery. A lot of unhealthy habits could be responsible for your appearance; surgery will not change anything for the long term if you are not ready to make changes to your lifestyle. This is especially important for people suffering from depression or with an unhealthy relationship with food.
Speak with several different cosmetic surgeons before committing to a practice. There are serious procedures, so it is important to make an informed decision. Don't be afraid to ask questions about everything, from details about the operation to the length of recovery. Find out how long the entire healing process takes. Don't be afraid to ask any question that comes to mind. Ask to see the credentials of your doctor before even speaking about your procedure. Ask what school he went to, when he graduated, as well as how many procedures has he done. You need to also ask for pictures of other patients who he has performed the procedure on.
Do some research prior to your surgery as to what you can expect after it occurs. This is crucial because it will allow you to plan ahead in case you need others to assist you. Always research any place where you are considering going to get surgery done. Facilities should be licensed and accredited. Even physician surgeons need to be inspected and registered as well. Make sure the facility in which you schedule your surgery meets the state's requirements. Make certain that the center you choose has a good reputation. Before deciding to turn to plastic surgery, see if you can fix whatever you are unhappy with. It is normally harmless, but all surgery carries some risk. If you're simply overweight, that can easily be fixed without surgery.
Discuss the recovery time at length. It is important to give yourself ample time to recover before any events you have planned. You don't want to have to bail out of a wedding party or miss your grandson's birthday because you are still recovering from surgery.
Be sure to find out whether you need to take antibiotics in advance of the procedure. Try and find out which specific medications you will be taking. Antibiotics require dietary restrictions that you may want to consider. For any antibiotics that may be prescribed for you, be aware of any possible side effects or allergy risks. Cosmetic surgery costs a good amount of money and you will have to miss some days at work. You should have some money put aside to cover unexpected expenses linked to your recovery. That way, you'll be set up to take care of yourself and recover from your surgery.
Set realistic expectations for your cosmetic surgery. While cosmetic surgery sometimes produces miraculous results, these are not always to be expected. Particularly if you have self-esteem issues, you may be disappointed with the results. Simply altering your physical appearance might not prove sufficient to alleviate such concerns. You should find a specialist who understands your situation.
Always plan to have someone bring you home, even for outpatient clinics. Find a friend or relative to help you get back home. If no one can pick you up, save some money to pay for a taxi. Make sure that you are never pressured into performing cosmetic surgery. Many cosmetic procedures are fairly simple and fast. Unfortunately, this could lead to surgeons urging you to do it and therefore go through the procedure unprepared. Make sure to stay in control of your decisions. If you feel rushed, step back and reevaluate.
Although many cosmetic surgeries are handled at outpatient clinics, you probably will not be able to drive home without help. Consider asking a relative or a friend for a ride after your surgery. If no one can pick you up, save some money to pay for a taxi.

Old Stone Oven
Old Stone Oven is one of the oldest manufacturers of pizza and baking stones, and that experience is evident in the quality of its products. Made with ceramic firebrick and other proven material, Old Stone Oven baking stones deliver crispy crusts every time you bake a pizza. Available in a variety of sizes to support your culinary needs, the stones are also great for baking biscuits, cookies and specialty pastries. Purchase a large stone to create delicious meals for the entire family, or opt for a small stone designed to fit most toaster ovens. When cooking with quality pizza stones, you don't need to add oils or grease to the baking surface, increasing your ability to make healthy meals. Create your own pizzas and experiment with meats, vegetables, cheese and sauce. With your own pizza stone, you don't have to stay true to traditional pizza configurations, so feel free to top your dough with anything that sounds tasty to you. Most pizza stones should be added to a cool oven before the preheat process. Add food items once the stone is brought to temperature using a pizza paddle. Use tongs or turners to add smaller items. Baking on the top or middle rack changes the performance of the stone, so follow product guidelines for best results.

citric acid
citric acid
Colourless, crystalline organic compound (CHO), one of the carboxylic acids. It is present in almost all plants (especially citrus fruits) and in many animal tissues and fluids. It is one of a series of compounds involved in the physiological oxidation (see oxidation-reduction) of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates to carbon dioxide and water (see tricarboxylic acid cycle). It has a characteristic sharply sour taste and is used in many foods, confections, and soft drinks. It is added to certain foods to improve their stability in metal containers. Industrially, it is used as a water conditioner, cleaning and polishing agent, and chemical intermediate.

Is there a word to refer to "changing TV channels"?
I always liked surfing for the choosing of channels. I.E. "She surfed over to the news." Very visual word. Alternatively, avoid the rather passive activity altogether and simply imply the action has occurred. "I don't now how it happened or why but the next thing I knew the remote was in her hand and we were watching the news." Of course that's more Writers than EL&U, but I digress. |

The history and use of the term "moth hour"
Another thing to keep in mind on using an Ngram is that it will only tell you if the phrase was written down and Google OCR'd it. If the rural Irish were telling time according to flying insects, they probably weren't writing a whole lot of books. But that is more conjecture than fact, so I digress. |

The history and use of the term "moth hour"
@JLG The moth hour is at dawn and dusk, or daybreak and twilight, which is a bit more poetic. Americans never used this term, unless they were Irish immigrants who really liked Yeats. Also Yeats did not coin the term. While looking into the Google N-Gram I discovered that the earliest codified usage, according to Google, is an 1839 translation of [Flavius Josephus][1] which refers to the moth hour of the night.

Palm oil, used in everything from candy to biofuels, may tumble 9 percent to the lowest level in 20 months as a slowdown in China and Europe curbs demand, according to Dorab Mistry, director at Godrej International Ltd.
Futures may slump to as low as 2,700 ringgit ($848) a metric ton from 2,968 ringgit in the absence of fresh stimulus by the U.S. to revive growth, said Mistry, abandoning his forecast for prices to reach 4,000 ringgit. The most-active contract last traded below 2,700 ringgit in October 2010. Futures may rebound to 3,300 ringgit as the decline may stimulate demand, he said at a conference in Mumbai yesterday.
Prices have slumped 18 percent since climbing to a 13-month high in April as growth slowed in China, the biggest cooking-oil user, and the debt crisis worsened in Europe. A decline in prices may cut costs for companies such as Nestle SA (NESN), the world's largest food company, while reducing profits at producers including Sime Darby Bhd (SIME) and Wilmar International Ltd. (WIL)
"The scenario on commodities has darkened considerably in the world at large," said Mistry, who's traded palm oil for more than three decades. "The main catalyst as far as palm oil prices are concerned has been the fall in crude oil prices. The logic has been that biodiesel demand is the swing factor and as crude oil falls, biodiesel becomes uncompetitive."
Opening Gates
Biodiesel demand this year may see "very little growth" as the drop in oil prices reduces consumption for non-mandatory use, he said. Palm oil's use in biofuels may expand by only 1 million tons this year, while its demand for food will expand by 2 million tons, he said. Brent crude oil prices have declined 8.1 percent this year, weakening demand for the tropical oil.
A further decline in crude prices in the absence of stimulus measures from the U.S. "will see the opening up of the gates for prices to fall further," said Nagaraj Meda, managing director of TransGraph Consulting Pvt., who has forecast prices for 13 years.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said yesterday the Fed will need to assess conditions before deciding if more measures are required to stoke an economy threatened by Europe's debt crisis and budget cuts.
Palm oil for delivery in August fell as much as 1.8 percent to 2,922 ringgit before ending the morning session at 2,968 ringgit on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange.
Disappointing Demand
"On the whole, demand growth has been disappointing," said Mistry. "The Chinese consumer of vegetable oils has tightened his belt and we have not seen the strong year-on-year rise in consumption as in the past."
China's economy will expand 7.9 percent this quarter from a year earlier, the least in three years, based on the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey. That compares with average growth of 10 percent in the last five years. The People's Bank of China cut interest rates yesterday for the first time since 2008, stepping up efforts to combat a deepening economic slowdown. The one-year deposit rate will drop to 3.25 percent from 3.5 percent effective today, it said.
India, Asia's third-largest economy, grew 5.3 percent last quarter, the least since 2003, government data showed last week. Vegetable-oil imports by India, the biggest palm buyer, will gain 9 percent to 9.48 million tons in 2012-2013, Mistry said. "India's imports of palm so far are well ahead of the previous year. The period of out-performance has come to an end" as a decline in rupee against the dollar increases costs, he said.
Rupee Decline
The rupee, the worst performing currency in Asia this quarter, fell to a record low of 56.515 a dollar on May 31. India imports nearly 55 percent of its annual vegetable oil needs of almost 16 million tons.
Crude soybean oil will rebound to about $1,200 a ton free- on-board by the end of this year after falling to $1,000 a ton, Mistry said. Rapeseed oil may trade at a premium to soybean oil even with an expansion in canola output, he said.
Palm-oil output in Malaysia may decline as much as 900,000 tons from January to July from a year earlier, Mistry said. A rebound is unlikely before August at the earliest, he said.
"The decline in seasonal growth is truly staggering and something we have not seen in years," he said. "Within the first five months of 2012, we have a cumulative deficit of almost 500,000 tons."
Production may rebound in the second half, bridging the shortfall, said Choo Yuen May, director-general of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board. Output will reach 19 million tons this year as harvesting peaks in the coming months, she said in an interview yesterday. The country produced a record 18.9 million tons in 2011, according to the board.
El Nino Threat
"There is a strong chance of an El Nino phenomenon arising later this year from August onwards," Mistry said. "The initial effect of this hot and dry weather will be to accelerate the ripening of fresh fruit bunches and give us higher production in the first few months."
El Nino weather conditions, which can parch Asia and bring cooler weather to the U.S., are likely to develop in the coming months as the Pacific Ocean continues to warm, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology said on June 5. The oil-palm bears fruit all year, with more output in the second half. Drought, such as the one caused by El Nino in 2010, can hurt yields.
"There are now definite signals of an emerging El Nino and if those signals give us an El Nino, prices will recover faster than most people expect," Mistry said.

I bought this plant in early April, in flower and it has been lovely ever since. I'm sure it must be 3 plants in the same small pot but I sure can't see where the division is. I want to know what it is so that I can put it outside for the summer and know if it will overwinter. It looks like a type of primula. |

Watch out, some people get a rash on their skin from it. I had two friends who were florists that did when I was a florist. They aren't hardy outside during winter here but they are long blooming annuals if you deadhead. |

Thanks for the ID, it really helps. It certainly has been a pretty plant to have in the house for these past few months, and is still blooming. Maybe the poison part is why primroses aren't eaten by deer. |

Library Journal
In the near future of New York Times best-selling author Ringo's latest novel, written in the style of a blog and from the perspective of a U.S. Army officer, a society must simultaneously deal with a pandemic, an inept government, and a mini-ice age. The descriptions of ambushes and battles, clearly and skillfully narrated by actor/musician Dan John Miller, are especially exciting and realistic. Librarians should be aware, though, that the language can be crude and vulgar and the right-leaning political and moral commentary won't sit well with every listener.

It was buried in a carton of not-quite-ready to be discarded items – in a box full of once important souvenirs, knick-knacks, key chains, and tired, old refrigerator magnets. A tiny notebook of hurriedly scribbled thoughts, both profound and profane, lay atop a collection of what can only be described as junk. Not the kind of junk that gets consigned to the garbage, but the kind that gets shoved into a box for an indeterminate amount of time – "just in case."
As I rifled through the box, bits of memories floated through my mind – a wry smile here, a grimace there. Some things finally found their way to the waiting trash bin, others got tossed back in the box – no, not yet; might need this; not sure; oh, look at this… sigh. A tiny cassette caught my eye. Puzzlement turned to recognition as I picked it up and realized it was a mini cassette from an old voicemail machine. Why in the world did I keep this?
As fate would have it, the grab-bag box of treasures also contained an ancient voice memo recorder. Curiosity won out, so I grabbed the tiny cassette and the voice recorder and went in search of the right size batteries. The "junk drawer" in the kitchen - a more current version of the "junk box" – held the batteries I needed. That was lucky, I thought as I loaded the batteries, stabbed the cassette in, and pushed play.
I still don't remember making a decision to save that mini cassette; don't remember even knowing what was on it. I don't remember ever listening to it before, but I must have. How else would the tape be wound to the precise spot where my father's voice would leap out at me when I hit play?
"Hey, Kim, it's your dad." That voice – the one I hadn't heard in years, the voice that was at once so foreign and so familiar, wrapped itself around my heart, pushed all the breath out of my lungs and dropped me to my knees. I don't know how long I sat there on the floor, heart pounding out of my chest, awash in tears, pushing rewind and then play, over and over again. I fumbled to find the volume button as a strange keening filled my ears, drowning out my dad's recorded voice.
Eventually, I removed the cassette from the machine and held it gingerly in my hand, examining it as if a treasure had fallen from above. And indeed it had. Carefully, I placed the treasured cassette back in the box it came from, covered it up and closed the lid. The contents of the entire box had miraculously increased in value, simply because of their proximity to the tape for all those years.
I replaced the box in the top of the closet where it had been stored for years. I couldn't risk moving the tape to a "safe place." How could it ever be in a place safer than that box – the box and its contents forever seared in my memory?
Today, the box sits in a new closet, in a new house, still untouched, still bearing all its treasures. I haven't listened to the tape again. Not yet. But I know it's there. I know he's there. "Hey, Kim, it's your dad."
If I ever need him. He's there.
I completely understand your sentiments here. Thanks for sharing what is our real world.
We all have those boxes, of course ( note the plural), but rarely do they contain such precious gems.
Thanks for this UB, so good to see an old friend here today.
AHP - your comments, your thoughts are always jewels to me - I was thrilled to find you'd read my piece when I checked comments this morning. Thank you, dear friend.
jlsathre - yes! I have a small notebook of my dad's that he wrote times and dates and other meaningless trivia in - oh, but it's not meaningless to me. Thank you for your lovely comment and for sharing your own treasures.
Matt, dear Matt - thank you, thank you. I love this... because of some below-the-radar sense there must be something in the pile that will some day become a precious time capsule of priceless memory Exactly!
rita - isn't it funny how that phrasing - "this is your dad" - somehow seems so much more intimate than "this is Dad". I've often thought about that and wondered what makes that so. After I wrote this last night, I considered fetching that tape and playing it... I didn't, but I know I can. That's what matters. So glad you have that precious treasure of your dad. I'd love to read about it when you do listen to those tapes.
Terri - I wish you had that, too, dear one. Just know that you will hear her voice, his laugh again someday. ((HUGS))
I use to have a farmer partner who loved to collect yard sale junk. Each years She's have a huge yard sale. One box had gold teeth, wigs, old Civil War spectacles, and one year I got a gift from her.
One pair of red long-johns. One pair of Cvil War white long underwear. Michele was lured by a poet with a hippo ponytail. He drinks gin. This is powerful to read and reflect back on Life. Life is:
I recall:
Some toss out a Life.
If cup breaks Ya Toss.
Your Breakable. Pearl
I Love Your Blog Title.
The ancillary issue of the junk box, sigh. Who among us doesn't have such a box...or boxes...lying about with contents yet to be rediscovered.
needless to say, i got careless with alot of it.
i threw all the family photos from 50 yrs of dad
snapping pictures at any opportunity
into one huge cardboard box.
then came time to move to another smaller storage bin.
i sat on the cold cement floor sifting through pictures.
i found a tape too. with dad's voice.
he was about 7 months away from death,
and i was egging him on. asking him many (inappropriate) questions.
his demented but oh so familiar germanic massachusetts
voice flew straight to my heart
and grabbed it hard.
oh and then i found the video tape he made once.
talking about his 40 yrs in the high school system.
made when he had his wits.
my treasures.
i know they are there,as you say, if i need them......
You piece so well conveys that feeling, and applause to you for sharing it so well here.
I'm lucky: I know exactly where to go if I want to listen to my father's voice again (he died in February). I persuaded him five or six years ago to recount his wartime experiences on a cassette player I bought specifically for that purpose.
The tapes -- and the CD-ROMs I made of them -- are sitting four feet to my left as I write this. I'll take them out again soon.
I'm glad you love my blog title. I, in turn, love your always delightful comments.
Smithery - It was such a powerful moment - like a blow to the solar plexis, tears immediately exploding from my eyes. I don't know that I've ever had such a visceral reaction to anything before or since. So unexpected. I was caught completely off-guard. And I'm so grateful for it.
sophie - thank you for your always sincere and elegant remarks.
James - that is what it feels like, I agree. Like a hand gripping your heart, reaching all the way down into your soul. Such a vivid picture - you, sitting on the cold cement floor sifting through pictures. Ah, life. She does twist us around, yes? I'm glad you have your treasures, too.
cheshyre - a time capsule - yes, exactly like that
JD - I believe the same way - you know I do. :)
Duane - so nice to see you! and thank you...

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Drawing inspiration from old Hollywood glamour, Underwood's makeup artist Melissa Shleicher complemented the singer's cascading waves with a shimmery smoky eye, and a glossy lip. "I love anything that shines and makes her eyes pop," says Shleicher, who used a combination of the Almay i-Color Smoky-i Kit in the hazel hue, and blended the Shadow Softies product in Hot Fudge to define the star's crease ($8 and $5; drugstore.com). She then mixed the Blooming Balm and Cantaloupe Cream colors from Almay's Liquid Lip Balm range ($6 each; drugstore.com) to tie the entire look together.Read MoreLess
