Displaying 16,501 To 16,530 Of 18,974 Comments Why The Revolution Won’t Be Televised My now 87 year old father loves sport, watches everything from football to cricket but just loves the snookers championships, stays up all night to watch, naughty boy. » Posted By Kalima On January 12, 2010 @ 12:04 am He can watch it upstairs anytime but insists on watching it downstairs on Sundays after I’ve spent hours slogging over our Sunday lunch. Yes it is the most boring sport but he plays once a month with his friends, even got a few holes-in-one. Here in Japan, a hole-in-one means that you have to pay for everyone at dinner after the game. No prizes here I’m afraid. Ah well, it’s his only vice. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 11:49 pm 😆 I’ve done that with my husband when his golf program drove me nuts. Birdies and bogeys all day long and those half asleep voices of the announcers was more than I could bear. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 11:34 pm I have visited people where we have been talking about something I thought of as important, and caught them watching tv over my shoulder. I would fake a terrible migraine and excuse myself. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 11:29 pm Or the people who don’t have the manners to turn the darned thing off during your visit. How rude can you get? » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 10:53 pm I forgive you. I bought my first pair of “Snuggies” last year. I’m not really sure if my hubby will ever wear his but the furry ones will have a great time in it and on it. A friend of mine in NC is like you, he even needs the tv on to fall asleep, which is way beyond my realm of understanding I’m afraid. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 9:23 pm Wonderful wts, both the article, illustration and of course the theme. As someone who decided last year after your GE, that I didn’t need to hear another spoken word from CNN, I had heard enough babbled nonsense to last me a lifetime, my life has proceeded so far without the interruption of tv during my day. I choose the news Podcasts I want to watch from my ITunes list and can watch them in peace whenever I feel like watching, even fast forwarding AH when she rears her head on KO. No commercials, no screaming or throwing slippers at the screen, heaven. Can’t really understand people who watch their tv’s for hours on end believing every word, unless it is an elderly person living alone who needs the noise for company. Here in Tokyo, where the daily noises from the narrow street running in front of my house is more than enough noise for one day, my tv stays off until 6 pm, unless “Boston Legal” is on. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 9:04 pm Absolutely fabulous! Can I bring the McVities Chocolate Digestives for dunking? » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 6:07 pm Ok, be my guest. One step forward, two steps back. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 12:41 am 😆 Anything for a friend but you will have to fix the clutch, it keeps jerking about and I don’t arrive anywhere that I haven’t been to before. Sad really. » Posted By Kalima On January 10, 2010 @ 11:50 pm Only a month ago? I will really have to tune up my time machine more regularly, I seem to end up in the wrong dimension too many times these days. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On January 10, 2010 @ 11:32 pm Gosh that was quick, congratulations! “We’ve come a long way baby!” It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating our 300th. Have I been spinning out of orbit for long?? » Posted By Kalima On January 10, 2010 @ 10:56 pm They have “never” been wrong, they have never tried to cover up anything in the past, they have a spotless record? » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 8:28 pm (Standing to attention) I’m on it kesmarn, as soon as you-know-who is sleeping, I’ll sprinkle a little delete “Fairy Dust.” A piece of cake! Sleep well and be safe. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 8:21 pm 😳 Thank you Cher, it was in verse when I C&P it, then WordPress came along with a broomstick to sweep it into a corner. Good night and sweet dreams. Take care and be safe. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 8:17 pm Off to bed with you now, I’ll fly by later to make sure that you are tucked in snug and warm. I know it was mainly in jest boomer. Hugs back! » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 8:01 pm There has never been a banning here and there won’t be unless after several warnings and moderation of extended time limits, it wasn’t enough to cool off the poster in question. We are not HP. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 7:11 pm Why thank you boomer, that’s cheered me up no end. Pink feathers by the way, put it away, so many sad little faces here. 🙁 » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 6:01 pm K, I’m so very happy to see you here, my smile is from ear to ear. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 5:00 pm Good evening boomer. Yes, me and my feather duster for all those places I can’t reach because I can’t stand on steps or chairs due to my “dizzy” business. I’ll take a picture one of these days but mostly it becomes a cat toy when I use it, hours of fun for the furry ones. Gosh, I’m so O/T, I’m going to be sent to the back of the class for sure. 😳 » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 4:36 pm Evening javaz, forgot that you can’t hear it, sorry. Yes it is “Ebony and Ivory.” *wavesbackwithherfeatherduster* » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 4:12 pm I saw a few kitty videos down below, so I know that you won’t mind. I remember singing this song around the house at the top of my lungs years ago. Scared the cats and the neighbours, but it made me feel good.
» Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 3:55 pm Thanks wts, I’ve just made a note of it and will check it out. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 5:14 am I’m not familiar with Thom Hartmann but have always enjoyed reading articles by Naomi Klein, that was rather surprising to me too. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 4:56 am I remember that comment and also remember that the poster was very angry, I would be too if this ongoing stream of hatred was accosting my ears every day. I think that the poster had reached their limit and maybe said things in haste but I understand how this can happen, we are only human after all. The negativity against this President is at times overwhelming, enough to sicken the toughest and I hardly ever turn on my tv anymore for this very reason, I’m so exhausted by it all. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 1:54 am Yes unfortunately and quite sad for some to spend their lives surrounded by such ignorance. Quite true that “ignorance breeds contempt,” we have so many shining examples on parade. Makes me extremely grateful to my parents and my grandparent for teaching me that we are all the equal, regardless of race or religious beliefs, quite something in the day from a devout Catholic couple who knew no hate. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 1:19 am I agree that it is racism and just wonder if he is aware of it or not. That is the line in the sand for Harry. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 12:49 am Quite frankly wts, “Doesn » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 12:47 am I’ve been thinking about what Harry said. Knowing the climate surrounding President Obama since the primaries and the gradual build up of blatant in-your-face racism that has grown like mold out of your human sewers on the radio, tv and the internet, I think that as a member of the leading party, he stuck his foot so far into his mouth, it will need a crane to pull it out. When everyone around the President, even those in his own party can’t show the support or the respect to the man they wanted for this job, it’s time to bring in new and younger blood who can. Whatever his upbringing, it is no excuse. This is 2010 and the fact that so many American politicians are locked in the past, is not a good example to show to the world at large if building up the lost respect during the Bush years is the end goal. Maybe in Harry’s case it isn’t exactly racism, it sounds a lot like it. No with Harry I see it as being disrespectful and fueling the fires of the “real” racists all over America. He “messed” up, apology or not, he should have kept them as private thoughts. He’s old enough to know, that words once spoken out loud can never be taken back. A lesson for all of us I think. » Posted By Kalima On January 11, 2010 @ 12:12 am Emails From PlanetPOV Are Now Twice Daily Well done AdLib! » Posted By Kalima On January 9, 2010 @ 8:52 pmComments Posted By Kalima
