by combining earth most valuable --- water---- and least valuable-- plastic bottles--- with a hot paperclip -- we might solve a problem... i have some expirimenting to do- concept being ---heat the stem of the paperclip so it will burn a "defined" hole in some plastic bottles-- then submerge them in water in a 5 gallon pail-- then as you walk past a bunch of new plants just put one right next to the plant and let it dribble into the area most beneficial to the plant-- all i know so far is a small slit with a razor dribbles too slowly-- and if you use your thumb to seal teh top when transporting from bucket to plant... it does not start teh dribble til you remove your thumb. seems to me it would put the water where most needed and eliminate the evaporation- as for teh effort involved-- it would replace teh repetative exercises done in the gym. OR THE ULTIMATE DISTRIBUTION COULD BE DONE BY A TEENAGER INSTEAD OF SITTING TEXTING.
i need to expiraiment with different sizes of holes--this might appeal to "dr bob" who is a product of KENYON COLLEGE-- I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS A DOCTOR OF, BUT I KNOW NOTHING IS SO ABSURD AS TO NOT SPARK DR.BOB'S SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO THE MOST RIDICULOUS OF IDEAS. -- AND I THINK HIS WIFE READS THIS--
the hot paperclip idea??? came from my husband-- working in the emergency room....- who used to treat the throbbing hammered thumbnail by heating a paperclip- to red hot.. and with a quick touch, burn a hole in the nail, releasing teh pressure of teh blood under teh nail.. i don't know how many times he did it wrong before he developed teh technique but the relief was instantaneous.

OUR FRIENDLY IRS ESTABLISHMENT.. IN ANDOVER--- HAS A CHILD CARE ATTACHMENT--- TO WHICH JUDY AND I WENT YESTERDAY -- SO THE KIDS COULD SEE BENT AND SIZZ... WE DID NOT rEALLY KNOW WHERE WE WERE GOING -- AND WERE AMAZED TO HAVE AN AUDIENCE OF 78 KIDS FROM 2 TO 5 YEARS OLD....
THE PLACE WAS WELL RUN--- SOMEBODY THERE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING---- THE KIDS CAME IN AND SAT DOWN-- AND ASKED QUESTIONS FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES TIL WE BROKE IT UP...
MOST NOTABLY--- THEY ASKED DOG QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL-- WANTING TO TELL US SOMETHING... LIKE "I HAVE A DOG TOO" OR IN REALLY BAD CASES " I HAVE AN AUNT LOUISE WHO LIVES IN OMAHA" A KID WOULD ASK A LOGICAL QUESTION AND TEH REST OF THE 77 KIDS WOULD LISTEN AS JUDY CAME UP WITH SOME CREATIVE ANSWERS,= , AND THERE WAS ONE KID......
HOW OLD IS SIZZLE?
SHE IS 3 YEARS OLD-- AND SHE IS PREGNANT-
HOW CAN SHE BE PREGNANT IF SHE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD?
BACK TO MY CENTRAL THEME... THEYRE WAS NO-- AS IN NONE--- OF TEH WILD HAND RAISING FOR ATTENTION"OH CHOOSE ME CHOOSE ME" KIND OF THING...CONSEQUENTLY THERE WAS NONE OF THE "NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION LET ME SEE HOW FAR I CAN DRAG OUT MY STORY TO KEEP YOUR ATTENTION"--- SOMEBODY IS SPOON FEEDING THESE "PEOPLE PUPPIES" -- AND DOIN G IT WELL.
OTHER FACTS-- 78 CHILDREN AND THE KIDS HAD NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY HANDICAPPED-- I TALKED WITH A MANAGER-- AND SHE HAD TO THINK THE LAST HANDICAPPED WAS MD YEARS AGO.
THEY HAD A HUGE AMT OF EQUIPMENT- AND SOME ATTEMPT WAS MADE At arithmetic with huge cut outs of coins.
i was impressed.... but also recognized--- they were very well funded.
they oughta be---

my fly project -- is doing very well-- but you have to allow for lower results because of the rain... i don't think flys do rain...-- and you must make allowances for teh fact that the contraption will collect a few raindrops-- but all told-- ther are alot of dead flys accumulating in my watr jugs.
i want to try a smaller version--- since we abound in 1 cup size water bottles.. would these 8 oz-- with fresh chicken liver( not yet smelly) - on a table next to the bbq chicken attract more flys than teh potatoe salad??-- can yo all find out what is the most attractive smell for flys.. we could have a good thing going...
