I stuck Hits on the stereo, cranked it up and as Chelsea Morning... most certainly my most "its almost Spring" Joni song came on I felt an unfamiliar urge to get things a bit more sparkly around the place... I always love the Larson cartoon where the bug eyed man in the vest stands with the paint pot, surveying that he has painted THE DOG, THE DOOR, THE CAT, THE TREE, THE HOUSE... on the various articles and says "That should sort a few things out round here" it was one of those moments........Also.........There had been sunshine, there had been some hail, and some strong winds blowing but for the main part the feeling was "yup, Chelsea morning is playing, the sun is out and it is almost spring..ye gods I have some energy, lets start cleaning"...those of you who have stayed here know that I am not worried too much about "Spotless" or "tidy" or cobwebs..But.... I looked at my oven doors and thought ...in a "Roy Lichtenstein-back of the hand to the forehead-comic book-woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown-drama queen-ish sort of way".."OH NO! the inside of the oven doors are awfully greasy looking and not just that but its INSIDE THE INSIDE OF THE DOORS.....(.they are sort of double glazed???) .. forget the 4 foot long cobweb, labrador hair bunnies under the piano and windows that are less than shiny..but NO the over doors got my attention.... i have come to regret the ingress on my time, of this whole episode... Read on if you can be arsed..... Have you ever taken over doors apart? I have had these beauties OFF the oven before (easy job) but when you take them apart its a whole new ball game... Insulationy things and springy bits came away ............until I realised it was actually only a matter of undoing two screws... so then had to worry about putting the other bits back on (which I did prior to cleaning)... ANYWAY..... Recently in my supermarket there was a woman demonstrating this super duper de-greasant product with the most stupid name..... CILLIT BANG.... The C is pronounced like an S... It was going cheaply with money off voucher and the demo was pulling in crowds...(Gosport does not have a cinema at present) so I bought some. During the war we brits learned (so my mum told me) that if you see a queue you join it.... That is why we are so good at queuing....I DIGRESS AGAIN>>>>It looked like it would do the job (whatever that job might be when it came) so I took a bottle and added it to my shopping.... and it has been in my cupboard until this morning..... So I am at the counter in my kitcen with the bigger of the two doors in pieces, Cillit Bang sprayed on the glass interiors and the phone rang... natter natter natter natter...... 20 minutes later return to find that the parts of the paint finish on bits of the glass seems to have become "pickled" (there is a sort of black edging to the viewing panel)....and the Cillit Bang has dried on to the glass, is now almost impossble to remove.. I try scraping it but it was smearing, try to rub at tit with a cloth...worse .... so I dump the entire door into the sink and souse the lot in hot hot water...Incredible how the whole lot ran away..I wanted to do it again..so easy...... lovely clean glass... a delight... . Fantastic clean door....wonderful,,, Paint seems ok??? query optical illusion?? ANYWAY... I dried everything and put the door back together and put it back on the oven, and repeated the procedure wit the smaller top oven door.... I stood back to admire in a sort of "I love Lucy" pose only to see that hidden water from somwhere in the top door, had dripped down into the INSIDE of the lower one. Took the whole lot apart again and re-dried the doors... put them all back up again......... cloth marks and finger smudges........took them all apart again put them back together and now the doors look fantastic....... I am never going to cook again!!!! So that took my bloody ages and as a reward I have sat here with a cup of coffee, a slice of my left over birthday cake and written this tale to you. I have also been listening to CSN Greatest Hits that the kids gave me for my Birthday... "Long Time Gone" now playing loudly ....Life is OK Frank and I are going out for a motor bike ride this afternoon.. I have not ridden for a few weeks and the road is calling my name. He needs no excuse and the ZX6R has been sulking as the Triumph has been getting all the fun... Love to you all Lucy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2005 09:04:37 -0500 (EST) From: "Gerald A. Notaro" Subject: Ani Ani is on CBS this mornings Second Cup of Coffee Cafi.

I love the changes you went through. Glad the Cillit Bang was so effective in the long run, though scary at first. Hope you all have a WONDERFUL ride. Am hoping to swing a leg over Fidel myself today, but must get 2 dogs vaccinated first. :) vroooooooom!! Em - --- Lucy Hone wrote: > I have had a bit of a mad clean out...

I've spent a lot of time in the San Juan Islands, which isn't all that far from Half Moon Bay, and I've seen the crud that washes up in a high tide. np-Light House, Sunny Days [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type application/ms-tnef which had a name of winmail.dat] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2005 14:17:35 -0500 From: Justalittlebreen@aol.com Subject: Whoops, to put it mildly (prob already been reported) and other ramblings Hi gang -- Unless I got a very unusual copy -- I may know later today, when I check my mailbox -- the blurb for Miles Davis on the Joni artists' pick album is very intriguing indeed: "With their innovative fusion of country and gospel, the Louvin Brothers rose to become perhaps the most influential duo in the history of country music. Ira's high tenor and Charly's low baritone thrilled audiences and inspired legions of musicans. Patterning their harmonies after their idols, the Delmore Brothers and Blue Sky Boys, the Louvins brought salvation-minded passion and rock 'n' roll energy to every song they sang." This is either an intriguing attempt at dada by Starbucks, or someone should be looking for work at their nearby Moonbucks Tea Monopoly Emporium, no? Other odds and ends: I was "watching" Comcasts' "Music Choice" (their "adult alternative" is pretty good, but they don't play enough of a certain flaxen-haired Canadian's work, if you catch my drift) when Elvis C's "Watching the Detectives" came on, and in the "random facts about the artists" box came the following: "Elvis Costello's influences have included Miles Davis and Debussey." Does this ring a bell with anyone? The guy who wrote the EC/JM Torch Tradition book (sorry, can't locate it at the moment) would be pleased. Anyone else a fan of the Cartoon Channel's Night Swim? Robert's totally addicted, and I watch some of their better entries. Certainly gives very disturbed individuals (some of whom may recently have lost jobs at Earthbuck's Total World Cornering of the Marker in Water) a place to express themselves. Take "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", which could best be described as Hip-Hop Dada. A meatball (the naif), a shake (a morally bankrupt character), and a fries (the moral center, who tries to control events spinning out of control) live nextdoor to an overweight man with hairy shoulders in a deteriorating urban neighborhood. Hilarity ensues. Anyway, during the commercial breaks, they air random thoughts of the programmers and techs at CN, including this one, which is probably a leftover from The World War I Best Intellectual Jokebook, but it amused Robert and me: "What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Speaking of twisted tooners, Parker and Stone of South Park still have the ability to shock -- the opening salvo of the ninth season started with what certainly looked like real footage of a certain kind of surgery. That's all I'm going to say, since some of you may haven't seen the episode yet. Those with weak stomachs should abstain, as should anyone under the age of 40. Anybody know anything about Jack Johnson, the musical guest on SNL tonight? (And what's his *real* name? Something like Oddmund Kaarevik, I bet -- Hi, Oddmund!) I don't care if he can sing, I'd buy his CDs just to look at the covers -- yowsa!!! -- but better still if he's like, say, Duncan Sheik, a dreamboat with musical talent. I've got to get used to the fact that I have a Mac that doesn't pee itself when I ask it to do something, and (swoon) D...S...L, and get used to googling people, places and things before I bother you good people, but I still appreciate your input. Hugs all around, and a cup of Universebuck's We're the Only Brand of Oxygen's "Morning Gasp, hold the nitrogen" to everyone!

She had a real purdy mouth! Now I just stopped to watch her perform "Little Green" (in 1967?) and she looks so heartbroken in parts, that I can't believe so many fans -- me included -- were clueless about the fact that "LG" was about Joni having given up a baby girl for adoption. God, now Johnny Cash is introducing the sweet young thing. Sigh. So many things I would have done, indeed ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
