No coffee here, but some potential get-the-blood-flowing music - we just put up my brother's latest song from his current project

It may be coincidence that it's called FIRE IN THE BELLY, similar to the phrase that's been being bandied about in politics lately - but the work is totally non-partisan as far as I can tell

FIRE IN THE BELLY - song written by my dear brother - definite aerobic workout potential
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAZ-DmzXR9Q

(maybe a little Eagles influence in the accompaniment??)

That's great, Fred...and the other video, as well!

My mom has discovered that she can watch the Casey Anthony trial streaming on her computer in the living room.

One of Casey's lawyers is a friend of mine

Well, in today's disaster news....nothing like the Army Corps of Engineers releasing massive amounts of water upstream to get your mind off of a tornado somewhere else. It's an interesting thing, the area that will be hit the hardest is an area that used to be sand dunes along the river. It was developed into a wealthy planned "town" but is basically part of SC. Anyway, a lot of people have no sympathy as the people who built mansions on sand dunes right next to the river rush to move all their belongings out of their homes before the water comes. Of course they are working on building a dike around the area, but if that doesn't work the homes will be flooded for at least 2 months.

I tried to volunteer helping today. I took off work early and went to the area where they told volunteers to go. I was told that they just hadn't organized that yet. So I went to the area where they were sand bagging, but they didn't seem to need volunteers. So then I got a hold of a friend who needed help at her house, but when I tried to get there, the state troopers wouldn't let me in because I didn't live there. So, I didn't get to go help her. What a cluster

Cillaliz, have you ever defended anyone who was eligible for the death penalty?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #132 on:** May 31, 2011, 06:09:51 PM »

So then I went and took a long walk along the Missouri in Sioux City. I took a lot of photos but haven't putn them in the computer yet. It's kind of scary because we're a long way from the crest in what they are planning to release over the next two weeks and it's already flooded.

Here is my brother Dan's ex-fiance's daughter Erica showing off her braces, and with her is my grand-newphew (Dan's grandson) Danny, who is THE sweetest, most adorable kid ever!

Danny is going to be a heartbreaker in a few years.

And lastly, because I have always liked the art deco look of this building, is the Harry and David's plant. If you ever buy Harry and David products, this is where they are made.

I thought they sold fruit. Do they make the fruit in that building?

I have been in the basement, not hiding from bad weather, but going through boxes for stuff to donate to the AAUW garage sale. I knew there were things still wrapped in 1988 newspapers from when we moved into this house, but also found a few items wrapped in January 1981 newspapers. That was when I packed up my apartment preparing to move into Richard's house after we were married that month. Amazing.

Laura · « **Reply #137 on:** May 31, 2011, 06:19:22 PM »

I guess those are the things that can go, Ginny. Do you remember any of it?

I agree & he usually does. He was only on his porch while someone was home & dogs running up to it seems so unlikely. What i don't know yet is if the door to the enclosed porch was open or if he was on the big porch, either way he was close to the house & likely safe from wildlife.

Cilla, i'm confused. you don't have floods from rain, however, the engineer corps released water & have flooded homes. Why?

Wow, just got an email from the Chamber of Commerce saying that the levels are based on average rainfall and could change very quickly. It says "you must take proactive action to protect your individual personal and professional interests." My office is on the 4th floor of the building and my house is high on a hill, so I should be ok
