Hey, Tani, are you sure this girl's real? Maybe she's like - I can't remember the name, something-bot - one of the artificial intelligence thingies. You know, you say something, it says something back, a pseudo conversation where it just picks up on key words in your postings. Maybe because he shut down out of sheer boredom, she was stuck in a state of limbo just waiting for input?

It was. Especially since I had to walk past him to get to my room. When she's tired, he sings her lullabies over skype. Can I please come live with you? Alaskan, I have so seen snow! We got two whole feet at one point this winter!

The local media called it a "blizzard" because this snow fell with high winds.

See, you were never *IN* the blizzard, you only heard about it from the media. Alaskan's snow is very big and scary, it is taller than a moose, it is taller than a house, Alaskan's smoke stack just barely makes it over the snow berms. Alaskan's snow is so big and bad and scary. that it is STILL HERE! And it is still COLD Alaskan is freezing...need more hot coffee, but the ptarmigans were slow today. Bunny, I am with you, that girl is some cyborg thing.

I don't like Skype. I guess it's because I'm old, but that whole thing creeps me out.

Speaking of horses...Gus is getting a bath today. Y'all be good while I'm gone.

Anybody wanta guess how many shades dirtier Gus looks after his bath? Every horse I have ever known goes out and rolls in the dirt right after you bathe them. You feel like, "what was the point?"

Syd and Blondie wind up looking just like Besty (who is the same shade of peaty brown as our soil). Love that Cowboy Magic, though - the dirt just brushes off after it dries!

Em I was told by my elders that some of their elders dressed up to watch TV because they thought if they could see the people on TV then the people on TV could see them, I wonder if they saw Skype how bad would it blow their minds????

It is not because you are old, it is because you are very very wise.

Skype is a hybrid between big brother, solient green, and terminator.

My son pulled one of those maneuvers that is high on the creep-meter a few days ago. He doesn't have a cell phone, but he does have an Ipod. He got sick at school, and wanted me to come get him. For some reason, the school system felt that my cell phone number wasn't within its free calling range, and wouldn't let him call me, nor could he get his Skype signal to get through the school's wifi network (he thinks they're blocking Skype somehow). Finally, using another group communication system, he contacted our home computer (which Critter had left running) and typed a message on it. When I walked in, there was this message asking me to come get him. I sent him a message via Skype, which he instantly got. Go figure!

She is a real human. She and I are buddies (oddly enough, we share the same rare disease!) and she comes over a lot to babysit and bake things. She's just creepy when it comes to my big brother. But, I suppose, if you think my big brother is attractive, you have to be a little touched in the head.
