  • as usual i am out of the loop. what is all this "icon_lock" stuff? #
  • @GreenMonsterCF – depends on whether you are actually doing anything. does studying fishing make you a better fisher without time on water? in reply to GreenMonsterCF #
  • Fly fishing for pike. #
  • @GreenMonsterCF – time on the water is kind of my point – studying is great when actually applied. when not, then it doesn't do much good. in reply to GreenMonsterCF #
  • @bachriea – don't be – my first time fly fishing for pike (not fly fishing in general) all i did was miss fish on the fly rod. still fun. in reply to bachriea #
  • Is it monsters & aliens or aliens & monsters? Either way I'm watching it with the boys at the cheap cinema showing #

  • Google maps and my GPS overestimated the time of my travel by AN HOUR! It's nice to be early but that was an hour I could have slept. #

  • @zmikko – the same is true on the edges 🙂 in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko -not sure i completely agree with that statement but since limbaugh is a jackass, & leading, there is probably some truth to it. 🙂 in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – that's cool – i wasn't trying to defend air america in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – sorry about apparently offending you with limbuahg – i thought we were using humor in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – though it does seem odd that you attack that considering you call our president labamba 🙂 in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – you do realize this is twitter? how do i provide facts for limbaugh being a blow hard? maybe his hypocrisy on drugs and marriage? in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – oh okay – "jackass" is my pet name for limbaugh then 🙂 in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – i've looked. you do provide some facts but the crap like the birth certificate is a red herring and you know it. in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – no mention of policy where? in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – that's because he doesn't set policy – at least i don't think he's ever had that much control of the rnc – who knows though. in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – because it gives you guys such fun being mad 🙂 and of course, the far wing would just find some other conspiracy in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – please refer back to the aforementioned hypocrisy on drugs & marriage – that was my mention – also it's a pet name so that's good? in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – 400,000/304,059,724 (us pop as of 7/2008) = 0.1% – not very significant – look a fact, you've taught me well 🙂 in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – if it's agreed that he's not an illegal then what cover up do you hope to expose by hoping to find a "fraudulent" birth cert? in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – i'm guessing you won't take snopes.com as facts but i'm not sure who else you would want to view the cert. http://bit.ly/OfIbu in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – ronic from the guy he dismissed the un"INFORMED" earlier in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – actually i believe the '08 dem platform is more consistently prolife than the rnc's in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko glad you think so BUT the rnc platform was simply to reverse roe which doesn't get rid of abortion – just sends it back to states in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko & since repubs have nominated 7 of 9 supreme's they obviously don't want to reverse it and get rid of the issue in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – dnc platform wanted to continue but reduce abortion – i can at least work with that- it was also anti-death penalty a prolife iss in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – as for people seeing the actual birth cert -dir of health & dir of vital stats from his home state have – their people 🙂 in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – that's a state's rights argument and isn't prolife or not – it's trying to coopt prolife for its own agenda in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – btw, about to have to start supper so i'll be quiting soon in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – thats hard to believe when a 7 of 9 majority can't overturn one case – smacks of not wanting to overturn it but use it as an issue in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – then why should i trust them & vote for them? why should any prolifer? in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – don't assume so much – i don't hold dem or repub, conservative or progressive ideals. trying to hold biblical ones. in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – sometimes this means one side, sometimes both, and many times neither. in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – sorry that description could fit either one – which one were you talking about? again, read my last tweet – i'm not FOR either one in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – which election? which race? not always the same party. in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – come to think of it i've never voted for a party – party votes seems kind of stupid to me. i do however votes for individuals. in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – i'm assuming presidential elections here. '08 obama, '04 bush, '00 bush, '96 dole, '92 bush, '88 bush. fit your pattern? in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – agreed with more of his platform, not a big fan of continuing some of bush's policies, no longer believe the rnc on abortion, etc. in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – some of the etc. includes not believing rnc is family friendly beyond slogans, in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – don't depend upon a political part to bring about CHRISTian ethics. CHRISTians do that. my vote was because i believe in reduction in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – a platform of "get rid of roe" doesn't do anything about abortion – it just pretends to so that people will vote for the party in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – which part? in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – the platform on abortion involved reduction – remember "safe, legal, and rare" – more truthful than "we'll overturn roe" in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko – i agreed & i'm opposed to abortion BUT IMHO doing something is better than nothing which is what's happened since nixon in reply to zmikko #
  • @zmikko -but saying "we'll overturn roe" has been a great way to keep the religious right voting republican who cares that it won't happen? in reply to zmikko #
  • noah's baseball season is officially over now. they made it to the second round of the playoffs & then lost. #

  • In pre-op. Should begin surgery within the next 20 to 30 min. #
  • met with the anaesthesiologist (a good idea to hit a physician before surgery because he is treating your ph.d wife like an idiot?) #
  • the neurosurgeon has checked in – we really like him – but it is odd having a surgeon with a tattoo sleeve on his arm. #
  • The surgery has begun #
  • Augustine referred to the church as a "hospital for sinners". I know what he meant but I'm not sure a modern hospital is an inviting analogy #
  • @NativeVermonter – can't agree with a graveyard. there is too much life in the local example of the body that i am in http://sptapestry.org in reply to NativeVermonter #
  • the surgery is finished and the doctor said it went well though he had to remove most of the disk. Pam will be in recovery for the next hour #
  • Pam is in her room now – her semiprivate room with a deaf, loud senior adult with bladder control issues. I bet it's better for Pam on drugs #
  • I'm driving to Marshfield to pick Pam up from the hospital. #
  • sleeping in noah's spare bed so i won't accidentally hit pam's painful incision while we sleep – he talks in his sleep & snores loudly! #
