Yup too, I wish I could magic up a high speed connection for you.Maggiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-43810174834003819252009-02-27T13:22:00.000-08:002009-02-27T13:22:00.000-08:00Of course! I should have recognized that particular quote as I always used it to justify eating half my wild berry picking. Which didn't impress Mom at all. (smile) But who knew the Bible sounded so Pythonesque? There is a profound message in there somewhere.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-21654298267564855352009-02-27T11:23:00.000-08:002009-02-27T11:23:00.000-08:00I got my Monty Python bone itching now, Dee... :-) But, no, I was playing hamsters against oxen in the great game of quotes: <BR/><BR/>Deuteronomy 25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.John Baileyhttp://oldgreypoet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-79906232173298729422009-02-27T08:16:00.000-08:002009-02-27T08:16:00.000-08:00John, is that a Monty Python quote? I can't seem to track down anything but "Your mother was a hamster...".<BR/><BR/>I never thought of the sugar kick, Kate. Good idea!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Bonnie, the library has Internet -- but we all have dial-up. There simply is NO high-speed connection in this little pocket of dull edge technology. Even the cable company can't help us. Which is okay because they're too spendy anyway.Deehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00640058997702227911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-49689338990668371282009-02-26T05:53:00.000-08:002009-02-26T05:53:00.000-08:00Even with road runner there are times of the day everything seems slow to me. I keep wondering if it is my computer, the new wireless mouse, or my need to empty cache more often.<BR/><BR/>Does your library have internet? Maybe it is faster.bbhttp://mizbee.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-25568319326636215342009-02-26T03:11:00.000-08:002009-02-26T03:11:00.000-08:00Ah - I remember dial up. It was so exciting (and we didn't know any better) when we first acquired a computer. <BR/><BR/>I don't envy ya, Dee. I'd be cursing mine too, if we still had it. <BR/><BR/>Give Elliot another cookie - maybe the sugar will kick in! lolkate et jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-86573739271510170692009-02-25T23:38:00.000-08:002009-02-25T23:38:00.000-08:00Heh...
