    Neilsen sent me a notice a while ago that I had been chosen to participate in their survey. I don't want to. But I know that telling them that will do no good. Some years ago, they contacted me, and I told them I didn't want to do it, and they sent the little booklet to write down all the TV I...

    We got about 4 more inches of snow last night on top of what we already have on the ground. The landlord is coming this morning to measure some stuff in the bathroom. He hired a guy to redo the bathroom soon, and I'll go out of town for the duration, though Bill will stay home. The guy can work...

    Time to say good night. There's a local artist who makes these weird birds from old tools. I think they're sort of neat, and I see lots of his sculptures in yards around town.

    No, Q led me to it. Then I Googled it and saw a leaf that looked like the photo you posted.

    Terry, here's lily of the valley as I've always seen it. Notice that the leaves don't have those stripes.

    I think you found it, Q! I really thought the leaves had more striping than I ever saw on lily of the valley. Look at the leaf here, Terry. Puttyroot Orchid

    I don't think it's lily of the valley. The ones I've seen don't have such definite stripes on the leaves. The leaf looks the right shape, though. I guess you'll just have to watch and wait and see if when it grows more, you can ID it.

    I think the goats will get used to each other soon. I don't know if the ears matter as much as that the other goats are strangers. Not having ears seems strange. Is there a reason they bred for that? I'm glad the new hay is better. I guess that's where you'll get your hay from now on, rather...

    Awsum, that's exactly the point I was trying to make. I'm not saying people shouldn't get enthustic about a sport, nor am I saying they shouldn't have a certain team they root for, but if their team loses, they might be disappointed, not furious. I love horses, and I often watch competitions. I...

    So you are saying that arguing with your friends about which team should have won makes you happy. That doesn't compute.

    Jerry, not being a sports fan, I absolutely can't understand how people can get so worked up over a game. I remember when I traveled to England, I read in the paper about riots over soccer games, and I shook my head in wonder. I wonder that people can't remember the definition of the word...

    Jerry, we were wondering, some pages back, if you got another big snowstorm. Here, it snowed a lot yesterday, but today is bright & sunny & cold.

    That's why I thought you might want to break open a single bale, figuring (though maybe it's not all that accurate -- I don't know) that it would give you some idea what the whole load would be like. I'm sorry to hear about the hay problems. It seems weird that moldy hay is prevalent in such a...

    Lizzie, when you go buy hay, can you look at it and tell whether it's moldy before you buy it? Maybe break open a bale, even if you have to pay for one bale. I have never had to buy hay, so I only have a vague idea how to do it, but I think I've heard of people doing that. Most of the places...

    That was my next thought. Does sleeping too much cause problems, or is it the symptom?

    Awsum, when you said, "If too much sleep shortens life, my sister must have passed about twenty years ago and we never noticed, LOL." I had to chuckle. I pictured her dead, and here, all along, you just thought she was asleep.
