He's a keeper!  But you might already know that.

Howdy MelB.  Don't be such a stranger.

[Chseeads]

Shew.  Lord.  That's about all I know.  Troubles and trials and what all.

Shew.  Lord.  That's about all I know.  Troubles and trials and what all.

Indeed.
Fortunately, today is "hump day" for me. If I can get by this day and two more, I'll be back to a well deserved weekend..

Back at work. It's raining.

Back at work. It's raining.

Just got off work.  It's supposed to be raining, but it's not.  I don't think they really have any clue what they're doing over at the weather prediction place.

Everybody's working for the weekend

[Roscoe]

Well. Today was interesting. Had a big storm come through Little Rock- lotsa rain and some wind. I get radioed that a limb has fallen off of a tree on 7th Street, so I run through the "tunnel" at work and have the officer working the door to bring me a raincoat since I'd left mine at home...
I arrive to find that a car had been struck by said "limb". Limb was actually the east half of a 150 year old oak tree and was bigger around than I am, by quite a bit. The car was driving by when the tree fell on it. Tree landed precisely on the driver's roof, and DESTROYED the car. I have no idea how the driver kept from being killed- but he limped away with only what appeared to be superficial damage.
Needless to say we had every TV station in Little Rock there to film it, since it happened a block from two of the networks' stations. Therefore, I KNOW I am on television tonight, as well as in the paper tomorrow, I suspect....

Isaac do you know how to rip songs from YouTube??

Isaac do you know how to rip songs from YouTube??

And if you do, PLEASE post here instead of p.m.......because I've been trying to figure out how to for the last month. So much "free" music I want, but can't capture...

[Chseeads]

Shew.  Lord.

Help.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

[Lynx]

Bobby:  Wow, now I know a celebrity! 

Jenn:  keepvid.com works.  Select mp3 instead of a video format.  It won't be audiophile quality (because people don't upload audiophile quality to a youtube video) but it will be good enough for most people.

[Lynx]

...Of course there are legal, moral and ethical implications if one does a bunch of song ripping.  It's probably just as well that I'm an audiophile and can't stand the audio quality, or I'd probably at least seriously compromise my ethics, being the music nut that I am.  But grabbing a song for the choir to hear so they can learn to sing it is probably okay.

I just found this artist who has like 4 or 5 songs in an acoustic version, and everything he's got on iTunes is his CD version, not the acoustic...and the acoustic is 10x better. lol

He did have 2 of the acoustic versions on iTunes. I bought those.

[MelodyB]

I dont type/text much anywhere anymore cause of my broke wrist and the difficulty of using my right hand with this cast on. But I read here daily. and keep up with FB. Its eaiser to post on FB cause my vouce to text thing on my phone works well there. Here...not so much. it doesnt like GP apparently.

I would have went crazy without that feture though. Its been a real help. Along with Siri.

Cast comse off in 5 more days...pray thet I dont have to have another one. Im SICK of this cast. UGHHHHHHH

[MelodyB]

So many errors...oh well. That was cause of my inability to type properly wuth a cast on./

[Roscoe]

We're just glad to know someone else is lurking , at least.

Where'd everyone go?!? Morning, all. It is raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock, as my grandfather used to say. And now, today will be "girl's state"- which means we'll have 500 or so teen girls running through the capitol. "OMG! Can you believe it?!? *Squeal*" Bah.

[Lynx]

Better thee than me brother.  Have fun, wear earplugs and bring a gas mask to filter out all the perfume and hairspray fumes.

Sure.  Blame the cast.

In what way do you love spaghetti squash prepared so much?

Girl's State is a deal that the schools do here....they take girls from schools all over the state, ( ages 14 or so through 17) have some instruction time, have mock elections, electing them to all of Arkansas' Constitutional offices, plus House and Senate seats, and just generally teach them about the legislative process. They also have all the colleges from around the state set up booths of information for the kids. It's a yearly thing, and tomorrow will be "Boy's State" which is the male version.
The girls are usually calmer, with some slight drama. The boys have been known to be, er, a bit more rowdy, from stealing from the blind ladies snack stand to drawing depictions of body parts on the sidewalks...
Thankfully, I'm off tomorrow and won't have to put up with the boys. Today was MORE than enough with the girls...
