Damn I missed that last night: it all depends on whether you having nothing more than "love" to give sense to your life.

What?
Ok, you all can get the idea... and I can always refer you to my sig-disclaimer :mrgreen:
 
I learnt that the generator I need to keep from losing power for days at a time will cost us in the 5 figure range...ouch

If you survived the Sandy Beetch without it, couldn't you just wait for another century and a half until you finally are able or simply decide to buy one...

Seems that when the power goes out its out for days on end. I don't want to experience that again..also, I'm old and don't have a century so I have to,act now.

If you are so afraid of it, you might have wanted to act before... don't tell me that you needed to reach old age to experience a blackout... and how bad it can get when you are in a small town, out from the lines providing heavily populated areas. Living in a town or, worse, in the middle of nowhere with the comfort developoed through (when not actually in) a big city, is far more expensive than the average cost of a modest living, and comparable to that of an upper scale location there.
That's what gets me double and triple and more stressed about the future: where and how to live so as not to be so fundamentally vulnerable... beyond the fact being human and not being able to actually control your own destiny, that is.
In any case, I wonder how expensive the same product was a few months ago.
 
I learned what a standard soldier for the Roman Empire carried, wore, and trained for at various points in history. Not very applicable to me, but it was interesting.

What book/whatever was it that you got it from :mrgreen:
 
I was reading 20th century history of Ireland on wikipedia, (because why not?) when I came across this nastiness. Effective at getting attention to the protest, but still nasty.
 
Don't recall which book it was, and don't feel compelled to go look. I think it's just called "The Roman Empire". Picked it up cheap used at a local bookstore. Some good information, but something about the writing style annoys me. The intro was "the Romans were really cool - yeah, they had slaves and were brutal in war, but they were really cool" for several pages.

I learnt that my bathroom fan needs fixing...makes an awful sound and sometimes doesn't even run.
 
I just learned my favorite singer Greta Salpeter/Morgan started a new band called Gold Motel. Been listening to her stuff all day. Sounds like The Pipettes, much lighter than her very dark Hush Sound stuff. Good that she is in a better place. The shocking part is she is younger than me.

That kind of behaviour just confirms the stereotype that so many Irishmen are infantilised and insane peasants
 
Jethro Bodine

Jethro (though he addresses Jed as his uncle) is the son of Jed's cousin, Pearl Bodine. He drove the Clampett family to their new home in California and stayed on with them to further his education. The whole family boasts of Jethro's "sixth-grade education" but nevertheless feels he is a bit of an idiot. Jethro is simply naive in the first season of the show but becomes incredibly ignorant and pompous as the series progresses. He often shows off his cyphering abilities with multiplication and "go-zin-ta's," as in "five gozinta five one times, five gozinta ten two times," etc. The tallest student in his class in the town of Oxford (so named because "that's where the oxen used to ford the creek") because of his age, he is often impressing others that he graduated "top of his class at Oxford." In Beverly Hills, he decides to go to college. He manages to enroll late in the semester at a local secretarial school due to his financial backing and earns his diploma by the end of the day because he did not understand what was going on in class and was too disruptive. This was an ironic in-joke - in real life, Max Baer, Jr, has a bachelor's degree in business administration from Santa Clara University (he also minored in philosophy).

Many stories in the series involve Jethro's endless career search, which include such diverse vocations as a millwright, a brain surgeon, street car conductor, double-naught spy, Hollywood producer (a studio flunky remarks Jethro has the right qualifications for being a producer - a sixth-grade education and his uncle owns the studio. The in-joke gag of Jethro as a movie producer was replayed in the 1981 movie), soda jerk, short order cook, and once as a bookkeeper for Milburn Drysdale's bank. More often than not, his overall goal in these endeavors is to obtain as many pretty girls as humanly possible. Of all the Clampett clan, he is the one who makes the most change from 'country bumpkin' to 'city boy.' Another running gag is that Jethro is known as the "six-foot stomach" for his ability to eat: in one episode, he eats a jetliner's entire supply of steaks; in another, Jethro tries to set himself up as a Hollywood agent for cousin "Bessie" - with a fee of 10,000 bananas for Bessie and 1,000 bananas for Jethro. At one time Jed mentions Jethro was the only baby he knew born with a full set of teeth "just like a beaver". Jethro appears in 272 episodes; he is not in the third- or second-to-last episodes, but Baer of course remains billed in the title credits. Baer claimed he only auditioned for the role of Jethro for fun and never expected to get the part. Supposedly, he clinched the part largely because of his grin.
 
I learned that Ode to Billy Joe was filmed at Sidon, Mississippi and Google Earth tells me that Sidon has an amazing billabong (which a geography teacher told me a long time ago is a sure sign of a river in its senescence)
