It's amazing, isn't it? Eleven full years and going into our twelfth. I really miss some of the people who've passed on. And I miss one or two of the dear readers we've lost for one reason or another. And I miss page six.

Ah, there it is now.

I love Danny Kaye, twee (eewt, spelled backwards) or not.

It just occurred to me that straw spelled backwards is warts. Yes, I love this site, straw and all.

I am completely tuckered out after a long day of judging forensics and debate. It was fun and rewarding day as I greatly enjoy watching young people present their speeches. I judged Informative, Prose, After Dinner Speeches and Dramatic Duo.

I was impressed that a person used Guy Haines. I was very surprised they were aware of him. It was a fun speech to listen to as the person incorporated one of his pieces with cuttings from humourous stories. I was impressed.

It was fun and rewarding day. I am tuckered out... I will be judging again tomorrow.

Now all I need is the Nook HD to put inside the cover.

I Hope Your Need Is Fulfilled

It was nice to see our very own DR ArnoldMBrockman as one of the original HHW pioneers

Happiest of Anniversaries, BK and all the Haines-Kimlets! I celebrate with cheese chunks and ham hunks and dancing the wa-wa-watusi!

I wish Pogue would come to LA for a visit - and now that I think that, I think I may have to go to Bird's tomorrow.

GOOD EVENING AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!!!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #161 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:14:06 PM »

I was going to write a catchy Anniversary poem, but I kept starting out with
Happy Anniversary to Us...we live in a bus.... a tad too twee for me so i stopped

Cillaliz · « **Reply #162 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:17:33 PM »

It's going to be 74 degrees tomorrow, then thunderstorms, then snow and Sunday highs in the mid 30s. Guess I better try to get the rest of my outdoor work done tomorrow

Cillaliz · « **Reply #163 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:17:45 PM »

Had another busy day, but am really glad it's Friday

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #164 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:18:38 PM »

I'll send chili! Re: this issue and the email. My advice: don't send it. As Churchill sez: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty but the pig likes it." Or words to that effect. You keep mentioning matters that may require a lawyer. If so, let the lawyers handle it...and don't bother interacting with these people (whoever they mihgt be) directly.

Tonight I practiced my flutes for awhile. I have 2 concerts for concert band with different music on Dec 8 and 9 and two concert/ events for flute choir - more different music, and today i got the music to play my flute with the church choir in my home town at the midnight service Christmas even (it ends at midnight). I'm loving it.

I have a sign that says "never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig"

Cillaliz · « **Reply #167 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:21:17 PM »

I'm glad you decided not to send the email. Last week I wrote a very strongly worded letter to someone and then deleted it. I do that from time to time

Cillaliz · « **Reply #168 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:25:51 PM »

Today I found out that the 5 kids I've spent the last year and a half trying to get to the US to be with their father (their mother died and they've been with an uncle in Kenya) will be arriving here on Tuesday. We are very happy about that. Their dad has had a 5 bedroom house rented since July waiting for them. They had to go through DNA testing and 4 or 5 consular interviews. It was just stupid. And there were months of waiting between interviews. the kids are from 14 years old down to 6 or 7 and their dad is a citizen now. I think it's sad it takes so darn long to reunite families

Cillaliz · « **Reply #169 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:26:18 PM »

BUT they are going to be reunited. Thanks to phones and skype they have been in contact with their dad the whole time. I can't wait to meet them

I need to return to my cleaning-goofed off too much and today is my only day to do it. I don't have much light left so I had better hurry.

Uh-oh, are the candles burning down?

Out of blubber?

Since it's our anniversary, I have to say that this is the most amazing site on the internet and I"m not kidding. We are different from each other in many ways and we don't all agree on some things, but it's clear to me, at least, that everyone here truly cares about everyone else. I'm sorry that some have been offended or whatever and decided to leave. I still think of them and hope they decide to come back. Sort of like the extended family you never see anymore. Any way, this is a bit of a ramble, but thanks everyone for being my friends and family and thanks BK for creating a wonderful space where we all can be together

Cillaliz · « **Reply #172 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:33:09 PM »

And thanks TCB for making me laugh every single day

Cillaliz · « **Reply #173 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:34:22 PM »

I'm really tired.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #174 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:34:41 PM »

But there are left over chicken wings in the kitchen that are calling to me.......

Cillaliz · « **Reply #175 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:35:25 PM »

Ok, before I go...onward to page 7

Cillaliz · « **Reply #176 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:35:39 PM »

Just a few more to go

We're playing Russian Christmas Music for our concert. I really like it

We're also playing some twee Christmas songs. Twee shall be my new favorite word
