After moving into our new place 2 months ago, I finally hooked up my entertainment system properly; as opposed to the way it has been up to now which was such that each thing sort of worked, if you did certain other things...
It's about time!

Hmmmmm. Just may be worth the ride down from Whistler!

This was just sent out to Don Ross' email listserv. If I were in Montreal, I'd be there:
Hello fellow travelers,
I'm in Montreal tonight as special guest of the fabulous PEI singer/songwriter Brooke Miller:
You can listen to some complete mp3's of Brooke's work at her site, including some new recordings that we've demo'd at my own studio.
I'll be doing some solo stuff and playing some tunes along with Brooke.
Come down and bring your friends. Show starts at 8 pm.
The Yellow Door
3625 Aylmer
Montreal, QC, Canada
(514) 398-6243

See you there!
Peace,
Don Ross

Update:
I went all yesterday without antihistamines, as a result of comments by some of you including RayRay. I was in pretty good shape until around midnight when I broke down and took one. I plan not to take anything for as long as I can go, again.
I'm determined to keep this puppy!

sometimes I think I'm allergic to myself......
I know whatcha mean. Personally, I'm allergic to Velvet; but I think that's just his overpowering odour...

The fact is that Noam Chomsky has been trying to get a similar message out for 4 or 5 decades. He's written an untold number of books, recorded tapes/CDs and produced films.
The average Americans that he needs to reach are simply not intelligent enough to read/listen to/watch Chomsky; or at least that is my presumption. Otherwise, if I am wrong in that presumption, it must be that they are simply disinclined.
Without someone like Michael Moore to "dumb down" the message, it will never get out. Of course I would prefer that everyone read Chomsky, however, I am willing to take Michael Moore as the most viable option in light of the prevailing sub-standard intelligence that seems to predominate.

Awesome news Dave-O! Based on your recommendation, I plan to speak to the friendly people at Gaia Gardens in Vancouver about Adrisin. (Those people know everything about homeopathic meds.)
You guys are all making me really optimistic!
J-Roc: I already know what to do if my dog eats weed. I just throw on some Bob Marley, turn on my lava lamp, and the dog and I bake out.

Idiots. Gee, who woulda thought a tiger would attack if you drove into his den with an open window?

Thanks for your comments Bokonon. When you said you "had the opposite happen" I was afraid you were going to say that your allergies developed after living with a dog. Your story, though, is really the corollary to the others and still gives me optimism!
In case anyone is interested, here's a link to the profile for the puppy that is living with me right now: "China" (aka "Franti" around our house)

I have never gotten over the fact that an old roommate of mine once saw Peter Tosh open for the Police in Toronto at the "Police Picnic". I think it was like 1984. (When did Tosh die?)
I know I was living in Toronto at the time. I'm sure I was old enough to get on a subway; with or without parental permission. Where the hell was I when that show was going on?!?

I honestly had no idea that most people couldn't name Jewish holidays other than Chanuka. (Relatively speaking, compared to many others Chanuka's not even a really important holiday in the Jewish calendar, but I guess it's sort of "high profile".)
Sorry about that. No offense intended.

That was unbelievable!
It missed my first word after one try, but got it on the second. It guessed both of the next two words I thought of on the first try, and I honestly did not see how it possibly had enough information to do that based on the questions and answers.
I am truly amazed. ::
-
Right on! Thanks guys. I'm going to try toughing it out, and will look into shots. (I hate needles!)
RayRay: Welcome to the board! I dig the new name. Too bad the "Sunshyne" thing didn't work out. ::
Thanks for the positive words, guys.

I'm "fostering" a puppy and am pleased.
But each day she has been here I've sneezed!
To adopt her I hope
But must take allergy-dope
And even so periodically I've wheezed.
I'm optimistic my allergies will go 'way.
Or calm down allowing me a normal day.
I will persevere.
Trying to keep her here.
So that permanently with me she'll stay.

How could we forget Purim?!?!?!?!?!?!
that was funny!
I think I missed the joke. Have people not heard of Purim?!? ::
-
Hey, thanks FenderMender! That provides some hope! She'll be here for rehab for a few weeks anyway, so I do have some time to see how it goes, but I do appreciate stories from people who have had (at least, limited) success as you did!
-
When I was young I was given allergy shots, but they don't seem to have really worked. I am currently taking antihistamines every day, but my girlfriend has made it clear that I am not going to be allowed to do that every day for the life of this dog. (Or my life, whichever ends first.) I will definitely talk to an allergist about that, but I suspect they will say, "What are you stupid? Get rid of the puppy and get a hypo-allergenic dog."

My girlfriend and I have been fostering a 7-month-old puppy from our local animal shelter.
We have her because she was found in Mt. Currie, BC with a broken leg from being hit by a car and was brought in to Whistler's animal shelter. My girlfriend is a physiotherapist, so we have her to do some rehab work on her leg. She has never lived in a home before, having been born "in the wild", but is adjusting well to being a pet. She had an eye-infection when she was found, mange, and was nearly starved. Now she looks great.
I have grown pretty attached to her, and want to adopt her, but, I have a problem. It took me most of a week to admit it, but I'm allergic to this puppy. I can't get a good night's sleep with her here, and my eyes periodically puff up and I get other flu-like symptoms.
I used to also be allergic to cats, but after living with a number of cats (one of whom inspired a smash-hit-song by The Tummies) my allergies went away. I am hoping this might also happen with this puppy.
Has anyone else ever had allergies to dogs that went away after living with a dog for some time? If anyone has tried this without success, I would appreciate hearing from them as well.
I really want to keep this dog, but the current situation is really unbearable, and I might have to return her to the animal shelter when her leg is back in shape.

I think they recently played here in Whistler. If it's the band I'm thinking of, the show had great reviews.

Some take the bible
For what it's worth
When it says that the meek
Shall inherit the Earth
Well, I heard that some sheik
Has bought New Jersey last week
'N you suckers ain't gettin' nothin'
Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around
With a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
An' your hair is all gone . . .
(The geek shall inherit nothin')
You say yer life's a bum deal
'N yer up against the wall . . .
Well, people, you ain't even got no kinda
Deal at all
'Cause what they do
In Washington
They just takes care of NUMBER ONE
An' NUMBER ONE ain't YOU
You ain't even NUMBER TWO
Those Jesus Freaks
Well, they're friendly but
The sh!t they believe
Has got their minds all shut
An' they don't even care
When the church takes a cut
Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'
(So whaddya do? Hey!)
Eat that pork
Eat that ham
Laugh till ya choke
On Billy Graham
Moses, Aaron 'n Abraham . . .
They're all a waste of time
'N it's your ass that's on the line
(IT'S YOUR ASS THAT'S ON THE LINE)
Do what you wanna
Do what you will
Just don't mess up
Your neighbour's thrill
'N when you pay the bill
Kindly leave a little tip
And help the next poor sucker
On his one way trip . . .
SOME TAKE THE BIBLE . . .
(Aw gimme a half a dozen for the hotel room!)

J-Roc, I don't think it counts if you're in your van with your eyes closed. Those aren't Northern Lights you're seeing...

hahahahahaha!
secondtube makes a good point there! (It was certainly many worlds away from the Sid Barrett days; that's for sure.)

It's already been ten years since the last time Floyd was here? I'm getting old! (I still remember where I was sitting for their show in 1988 for crying out loud. :

That guy was nuts. I remember when he got into a car chase with the cops; pulled over and jumped out and started shooting at them. Later on, he claimed that the police were shooting at him first and he had no idea who was doing it so he had to fire back. I think he even threatened to sue the police over it. I'm amazed he made it to 35.
