Could it be that I am repeating myself self? Surely not! :-) There is a prototype of this incredible idea in the Science Museum in London. Beautiful object. And Catherine, remember SMOE is beautiful!

Group Maintainance Post with NJC Hey it is the 21st century and our forefathers started this thing last century. Surely out of the less than 100 people who actually post and read here we can make it the new improved dish washing liquid. I love Facebook but rarely get on to just read (mostly because I am struggling to keep food on the table and making ends meet so I feel guilty when I do), but I do post pics and comments from time to time cause it is an amazing place for everyone who has the time or gives a shit can keep up with me. On the other hand I look forward to seeing the familiar email addresses in my JMDL in box and read in between emails and calls on the phone and bands on stage and children interrupting me and wives and and and..

I think Facebook may be responsible for some of the slow times around here, but they are two very different media and each has its own uses. Even though there's a jmdl group on Facebook as well as a jonimitchell.com one (AND a Joni Mitchell fans one that someone started), I don't find that really the best place for a real in-depth discussion. I'm not sure if the "What Joni songs to play at funerals" thread would have worked quite so well there. At present, I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. It is a good way to share things with friends, relations and acquaintances but it can be intrusive and it's such a time-waster! There are many times I've liked something that people have posted here and I would gladly respond to all of the song suggestions for Joni-funeral-songs, except that would annoy the crap out of a lot of people (me too, I guess.) Here a "like" button would do the trick. And too, I appreciate Bob's covers project - better him than me, I say, as I do not have the tenacity, the will or the attention span to stick with anything for very long. But, because he also posts the links for these on Facebook, I can "like" it there, which comes in handy. Here in Toronto and glad to be retired and not having to commute, because today's snow has wreaked the usual havoc on roads, commuter trains and common sense. But it looks pretty from here on the 16th floor. > ________________________________ > From: Anita > To: Cassy > Cc: jonipeople LIST > Sent: Wednesday, February 5, 2014 5:04:30 PM > Subject: Re: How do we cope on JMDL if we feel ignored?
