FBV, my painters are almost done replacing our siding with Hardiplank (the entire home) trim (replaced with all composite) and painting.

A "coffee with cream" color, and cranberry for the doors, and shutters. Lots of white trim as well. It's almost over, and I'm very happy with the results.

Been a long 5 or so weeks but it's almost over now.

Sounds pretty. Having the house painted is rapidly approaching the top of the list here too. We are not replacing siding this year though, so it should be much less stressful.

I did get a big chunk off the list over the last few days. The bushes that had overgrown half the patio are no more, the front steps have been replaced with a deck, a clothesline is up, the woods that run up the hill have been thinned by more than half so we'll actually get a little light in the backyard, plowing has been done to make room for the currants and gooseberries. And I bought a little red garden wagon (actually it is pretty big) and the kiddo and I assembled that yesterday.

I figure we will be "done" sometime next year.

I love maps - the kind you can spread out and fold up. Those talking things would drive me mad in a heart beat.

Spring planting is finally done - at least the veggies part of it for this week. In another week or 10 days I'll put in another batch of Swiss chard, some more mesclun, baby pak choi and a couple other things. And I have to run get sponges so I can innoculate the mushroom spore. My nephew put a fence up across the top of the garden while he was here. The stuff we ended up using is cheap enough that I can fence the whole thing if I must.

Now I have to start on the lower gardens - dig holes for 6 red currant bushes and 10 gooseberries, plant some bulbs a wonderful lizard sent me, dig up the iris and thin them out (probably hasn't been done in 20+ years). And cover the pool area with black plastic to kill all the weeds. We're having our April showers this morning though, so it will wait a little bit.

Oxford is quite lovely, I am sure you enjoyed your round of golf. I trained for Needles and Syringes in your area, went to about 7 hospitals when I first started my job. I think I stayed in Cary but traveled the area.

We are looking forward to seeing the campus but not getting beat. I know it will happen, husband will get mad and we will leave and go find a bar after traveling all that way. That's okay with me though.

Tomatoes are fine. They are still living in their pots. Some will be moving to bigger pots in the next couple of days. Here in northern New England you don't put tomatoes out before Memorial Day (the real one, not the new and improved 3 day weekend one) though I did push the envelope by a week last year and might do so again this if the weather stays warm. Might even go for May 15 if I have some ready by then

The colors sound pretty BulgarWheat. So pretty we just might borrow them from you.

As far as the college thing goes, I don't believe in parents signing away the family farm to pay for college. Help yes. Pay for it all - not on your life. But then I had four and the last one is still in college - part time while she works.

Kids who are footing much of the bill themselves and know they are going to walk out of college with debt to pay are overwhelmingly far more dedicated to learning something than those who are getting a free ride from Mom and Dad.

Oh don't wait till then BulgarWheat. If she'll be ready for college in four years, then you need to start pushing the summer job scenario and the money in the savings account to pay for college line, looking at schools, considering careers. (Do NOT let her major in psychology - McDonald's pays more with only a Bachelors!) This is not one day too early to start. And just the right time for a summer job too. Also make sure that you investigate potential scholarships NOW so that she knows what the various criteria are and can plan.

Yep, but now they make them so they don't seperate from the pump(not my first rodeo unfortunately) so I backed over the handle and gas was spewing everywhere. All I could do was laugh, could not believe the scene, boss was freaking out trying to find the emergency pump shut off, the fat african-american lady who was the attendant came out just shaking her head saying MMMM MMM MMM, hands on her hips. She was pissed. I was rendered useless from laughter, I was just freaked out.

This is the first year I remember the primaries being so heated. So, I've been a little clueless about the identity of super delegates from each state. Now that I have learned that current Democrat members of Congress representing their states are super delegates, it sheds new light on this subject.

Here in NC, the Democrats candidates running in the primary to represent the party for governor have both endorsed Obama. Why? It's simple. They want the black vote. Could the super delegates also be voting for Obama for the same reason in states with a large black population?

Yes, as much as the two of them scream about racism and prejudice against the black community and Jim Crow, just exactly who is it who applies that old Jim Crow "one drop" rule to either Obama or Wright?

I got stuck 3 days in Chicago by United. That was over a year ago. Haven't flown with them since.

bastages!

I got stuck in Denver for nearly a week coming back from my daughters wedding - 5 years or so ago. Haven't flown since and next time I'll take the train. I've noticed since though that every time there is a storm, United flies all of their planes into Denver and just abandons everyone there.

There are no hotels near the airport (it is 30 miles out of town), by the time we landed the snow emergency had been going on for nearly 24 hours so all of the rental cars were gone. The hotels wanted $50 each for a pick up in the courtesy van. And they had almost no cots. The only person they did anything at all about was an elderly gentleman who was returning home from open heart surgery - and that only after a bunch of us pitched a bloody fit about that sick old man sleeping on the airport floor.

It is not quite as inexpensive as it used to be but still lots of fun. And most of the longer trains have special cars set up for kids. We use it now and then to run down to NYC from here. The train from DC to Florida has really good food - called the Orange Bowl Express I think. The Southwest Chief that runs from LA across TX and then up to Chicago has super food too. Here in New England we get crappy box lunches :(

I've heard of that one. We pay about the same to get to NYC I think. And it isn't even a matter of the driving in the city. Have you seen the price of a parking space?

At least several times a year we go down to Boston for something or other. Use mass transit there too, though we ride the bus rather than the train - we would have to go to NYC to get a train to Boston, hahaha. Costs just under $50 per adult round trip (go and come as you please) with movie & snacks, kids ride free until they are 13.

Never mind Sunlight I got it

The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

I would write to the person who sent it to me and ask for the citation for it.

I paid about $60.00 for a fill-up the other day, around $3.50 or so for a gallon. Traffic is the same as it ever was.

The one thing I have noticed - and did last year too - is that the number of RVs cruising the highways and byways of Vermont and New Hampshire is seriously lower than it was even just 3 or 4 years ago.

re: #250 BabbaZee

Never mind Sunlight I got it

The actual quote from the book is from page 261 and is as follows: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

It didn't seem to reduce tourism a lot, just not so many RVs camping out in WalMart's parking lot and the like. If you want a bed during leaf-peeper season you either need to book now (if there are reservations left to be had) or know somebody in Vermont who might let you camp on the couch.

Strategic tips on NE leaf-peeping. It rains in the fall. Colors are still nice in the rain but nice isn't absolutely glorious like they are in the sun, especially early morning and late afternoon. Instead of booking in "leaf country" try checking when the color will be best in the greater Boston area and take day trips. The American Revolution historic site out in Lincoln/Concord is worth a visit and the color there at peak is as good as anything you'll see in Vermont.

The adjusters come tomorrow and he will learn if insurance will cover the mortgage he owed on it. He has nothing to start over again. It's sad but he didn't have any other insurance on it because he basically has little to get by on from week to week. He has always worked hard and never accepted the any help from the government.

Ah..Bach. That was the first piece of music played in my college History of Music course. Picture this..A very enthusiastic assistant professor surveying an auditorium full of bored students who thought they could sleep their way through the course playing that piece at full blast. I've never seen so many kids sit up straight at one time. I still laugh when i think about it.

re: #358 committed

Thanks, goddess for remembering everyone who is suffering. I've had a pretty lousy week, but it pales in comparison to most of these. My brother lost his mobile home to fire this past week. The adjusters come tomorrow and he will learn if insurance will cover the mortgage he owed on it. He has nothing to start over again. It's sad but he didn't have any other insurance on it because he basically has little to get by on from week to week. He has always worked hard and never accepted the any help from the government. He is proud that way.

I'm sorry to hear that!

As for assistance from the government, HE IS THE GOVERNMENT. He's paid his taxes in all kinds of forms so, maybe he could look at it as paying himself back.

Well, the locale and the meal were great. I looked "amazing" (with all due modesty), but although there was a jazz quintet, NO ONE DANCED! Getting there was frustrating because of closed roads, but we were in time for dinner. Had I known there wasn't going to be dancing (the program said there was), I wouldn't have bothered. Oh, well.

How could it violate Hippa if people consent to it being published? You actually may have a point about the relatives not consenting, but again their last names are not published as well as the requestee's name. I get to deal with Hippa everyday. It's rarely followed like it should be in hospitals, nurses and doctors tell everything when on elevators all the time.

Fairly cheap push mower -- my yard's not all that big.

Best mower I ever had was an ancient Lawn-Boy two cycle. I think my brother in law has it now. Always started, had points and condensers so you could tune it up yourself, a real carburetor that you could clean and adjust and torque out the wazzoo. And a cast aluminum deck and engine so it light as a feather.

Do you ever get the urge to give them the wrong directions when they ask you how to get somewhere?

No, I'm much too nice to deliberately send someone the wrong way. Though I have run into a few.

Some years back I was up in Maine at Acadia, then followed the coast home stopping here and there at lighthouses and such. I was just getting out of the car when this huge RV - big as a Greyhound bus - pulls in. A middle aged couple and a boy & girl of college age all get out, the woman slings a big camera around her neck, throws a huge video camera on her shoulder and literally pushes me and everyone else off the path down to the lighthouse. Two passes with the video cam, 4 clicks of the shutter and she is racing back up the path, pushing people off again. I got back to the top just in time to see them driving away. Florida plates. Ran into them a couple more times before I got home - always the same. I've always wondered about the things they said about their wonderful vacation while showing off those pictures.

Not exactly - but I won't tell you where the best views are in Vermont and you couldn't get there in an RV anyway :)

First rule of leaf-peeping (after not trying to do it in the rain) is never try to "view the foliage" from a highway. You have to get into the back roads where the sun comes through some huge maple and turns the air gold. Vermont is gorgeous. I'm just thinking in terms of trip-planning strategy.

One of the prettiest things I have ever seen is an easy hour out several dirt roads (over half our roads here are not paved) up to the top of a mountain. If you're there at the right time looking north, everything you can see is scarlet for miles and miles.
