The 76th Rain Forest site - "Everything is Connected"

Thank you for your birthday greetings.
Danke schön.

Danon, fabolous!

Morning Merry and all,

I have the same problem most of the time, Merry. Maybe the hamsters aren't getting enough to eat...........

Hi ul, I saw your post earlier, but, could not edit my post to say anything until now. I am getting "Critical Error" most of the time.......

ehBeth, have you heard from Craven about a fix??

I'm not in contact with Craven - just follow the threads where he's talked about what's going on

http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2508578#2508578



follow the thread from the point I've linked for a sense of the progress

One try, one log-in, and progress!!

Now there's a very cute hat, eBeth! And an even cuter face!

Thanks for the non-connecting to a2k info. The poor hamsters seem to have a flu virus!

Steady rain for the past few days, clean air, happy pines, and the plants are beginning to cheer. Tahoe resorts buzzin' with skiiers, and alls right with the world for Northern California. Hurray!

Thanks ehBeth for the link to the troubled hamsters.

I listened to a recital of Glass music today and learned that Benjamin Franklin improved the instrument. The Franklin's "Armonica".
Quote:



"Being charmed by the sweetness of its tones, and the music he produced from it, I wished only to see the glasses disposed in a more convenient form, and brought together in a narrower compass, so as to admit a greater number of tones, and all within reach of hand to a person sitting before the instrument (...)"

Franklin chose 24 glass bowls, had them tuned by grinding, and mounted them concentrically on a horizontal rod. Driven by a treadle (very much like an old-fashioned sewing machine), the glasses spun around, and the player had only to touch the glasses with wet fingers.

Franklin called the instrument the "armonica", "in honor of your (i.e. the Italian) musical language".

Morning all,

Yes, thanks for the link, ehBeth....

ul, Franklin was indeed an unusually inventive man.

thinking of connections/interconnectivity - has everyone followed the adventures of Rocky the Squirrel? Our very own ul acted as hostess for one stage of his voyages - and posted the marvellous travelogue and photos.

Who can forget Rocket J.! Silly adventures

Great links everyone, thanks!

A new term has started today.
Carneval time - preparing a school party.
Rocky- too old to dress up like a flying squirrel.

Hibernating bear is more my line.

Clicked.

Morning all....... Clikced

ul, I have heard the bears and other hibernating animals aren't sleeping this year. At least in certain places.

I am thinking of planting banana and palm trees around my home.

I wonder? If every human being on earth faced east and simultaneously blew their breath as hard as possible - would the earth's rotation slow???

It would probably just stir up more tornados and hurricanes.

Ahhh, hibernation sounds so cozy!

Dan, if every human on the planet managed gathering in one place...stomped danced in unison...then yep

tip



Poor polar bears are not building snow dens on the ice and the cub population is drastically decreasing. Alaska has a plan though. Soon as the ice melts and Polar Bears no longer exist, new oil barge shipping lines will be availabe for the ten barrel oil reserves of ANWR.

Marn'n awl,

II III I II III - (my improv of 'clicked' in oghameze............)

Must be very cold in Texas

all creeeked

Well, seems like people are lining up at the A2k door- patience is a virtue-
open door- my turn-
clicked.

Next, please!

The hamsters must be smiling!

Actually was able to post here and at another forum today with only one log/in request.

Patiently progressive....

Yep, I had to Login also today. But, Stradee, that has become a ritual lately. As you and everyone knows I'm sure.

Here's hoping the hamsters get well.

Also, the temps have been very mild here in TX - tomorrow a cold wave will pass and we may have a slight freeze. Nothing as severe as in the N. E. and at ehBeth's house...........and then, it will be gone.
