Certainly you don't have to agree with what Clark said, and certainly you have the right to have your religious beliefs, but the implication that you made about homosexuals is both offensive and telling. This is exactly what I fear from a Presidency from Bush.

And please people, don't call PETA and lecture me, because I seriously got this info. from a book written by a vet! ANYHOOOO, my cat is tiny... and I mean TINY... the vet always asks "It's an adult??" and she's gray.... so she's waifish looking. Anyway, when she about a year old, I was still on this kick of bathing her, because, like the anal pet owner I am, I was thinking that it would keep her dander free, and stop her from shedding, and blah blah blah.... Well, everyone in both my family and my wife's family seems to have some sort of cat allergy, and this book said something like "When you bathe your cat, put in a capful of Downy in the bath water when you rinse the cat, and it will control shedding and dander." Well, I'm thinking, "Right on, we can invite Mom over and she won't sneeze, and the cat will be April fresh" which is a good thing since she sleeps on me, so I bathe the cat, and then run downstairs and grab the jug of Downy, and then realize that I drained the water after washing her, and I was just rinsing her with a jug and the tap running, since she gets freaked out with water standing in the tub. Sooo, what do I do... LOL, I am NOT making this up, I swear.... I....OMG, this is so mortifying... I just take a capful of Downy and put it in the jug of water, pour it over her slowly, and then take her out and dry her off.... Well... cat is soaking wet, and it was winter, so I got out the blow dryer like I do when it's cold, and dry her... and she doesn't seem to EVER look dry. She was so frigging greasy, and her hair is standing up in tufts everywhere, and my wife comes into the bathroom and bellows "OMG, she looks like she's a victim of some oil spill!" And this is what she looked like EXACTLY! I mean, the poor thing looked like something you see on a Sally Struther's infomercial about how oil spills are killing the animals or whatever. Oh man... I gave her another bath, apologized to her the best I could, and have given up bathing her! If you didn't think I was nuts before, I'm sure you do now.... Man, the stuff we tell each other...LOL TGIF you wonderful listas you!

I can't believe I've completely > skipped this wonderful album because of the second track, but I think it's > what happened. > > I understand what you mean -- I totally dismissed HOSL when I first heard it. I think I bought it in 88 or 89, and this was after my Blue, C&S, LOTC, DED, and CMIARS obsessions. I just didn't get it at the time, and it was probably due to "The Jungle Line." Well, actually, it was more than that -- I didn't like Edith, Shades of Scarlett Conquering, etc. I was basically stuck on "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow" and "The Boho Dance" and dismissed the rest. I kept thinking "what the hell is this?" However, one day, sure enough, I popped it back in and WHAMMO, I was suddenly in love with "The Jungle Line." I know a bunch of people here don't care for it, but it's an integral part of the album for me. Now, or for the past year or so, HOSL has been my fave of all of Joni's work (DJRD keeps edging up there.....and I NEVER thought I'd rate anything better than Blue and C&S.... but when I grab some Joni to listen to, it's usually these two -- and HOSL is, *gasp* far better TO ME than Hejira -- ok, go ahead, stone me! Ok, I promise, I'll stop posting -- sorry, a friend brought me over an extra large Tim Horton's coffee tonight, and I am on some freaky caffeine rush!

Treacy" Subject: Fat City in Joni's Bedroom! Just a thought in reference to the going Shawn thread - "Fat City" was recorded at Joni's home in the old bedroom which was converted into a home studio (I believe they call/called it 'the kiva' or some such...). I always thought Larry was banging Shawn on the side - I honestly don't know why. Wally used to try and put me at ease about this; I'm big into conspiracy theories. -Chris. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2001 #19 **************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
