R.I.P.: Marvin Miller
“Maybe,” Spence says, “the most important non-player in baseball history.”
“Got the players off the plantation,” Admin says.

Good morning! Hurray for Marvin Miller.
Rio and Bee, is it bigger than a bread box? Is it? Is it?
9:46 am on November 28th, 2012
2 MORE DAYS!!!
Oh, and Good Morning too (a different kind of two)
9:46 am on November 28th, 2012
Does Admin and Spencer get a pie today?
Hmm, the union is not working so well with the hockey players . .
Good morning OleyHowlers and all.
(whispering) YSAS says he can’t afford to take the time to go see his fan. sigh. Guess we’ll have to work on Sam.
9:48 am on November 28th, 2012
Well. Lookey here. A reference to our favorite game.
B. Stover will be sooo pleased.
9:52 am on November 28th, 2012
So the average salary in the 1960s was $16,000 and in the 1980s it was $240,000. What is it today? Don’t answer that. (Should we compare the average salary of the college professor….)
Howlers: My lips are sealed.
Good morning all.
9:53 am on November 28th, 2012
Good morning everyone!
I wonder what kind of pie B will be whipping up today?
Is it Friday yet?????????
10:05 am on November 28th, 2012
Rose: Southern pecan.
10:11 am on November 28th, 2012
Baseball, baseball, baseball . .
I would like my slice of Southern pecan warm with vanilla ice cream, please.
10:29 am on November 28th, 2012
Good morning all. Have to admit we haven’t heard of Marvin. May he RIP anyway.
Countertop guy was here and gone. New top will be installed 12/10. Yea!
Kelly is coming tomorrow to paint (hopefully), so Barb is cutting in edges today. Very time consuming, but then Kelly will do the roller work tomorrow.
10:34 am on November 28th, 2012
Morning all.
We don’t care about baseball. Can we still have pie?
Today is last minute errands before we leave.
First – off to the post office to ship the last long overdue package to a very patiant person. And to ship boutique items.
Then its off to the grocery with Gramp to find things that he can prepare by himself. Gramp is not exactly a world class cook on his best days – with poor eyesight, this is going to realy be a challenge. And he doesn’t like PBJ. sigh.
Of course when he knew we were going to the grocery, he started making his list of other places he would like to go. double sigh. Please, oh please let his new glasses come in and be RIGHT!
10:45 am on November 28th, 2012
So…it’s Marvin’s fault there is no hockey right now?
I have a dentist appointment, otherwise I would still be sleeping.
10:51 am on November 28th, 2012
B: Yum!
B&M, please send pictures of all the interior decorating.
T&G, Wishing your mum and da much success at the show. Of course, you know if I was there, my shopping bag would be quite full.
10:58 am on November 28th, 2012
There was an interesting interview about Marvin Miller yesterday on NPR.
We are bummed about the hockey because the Minnesota Wild got the two best players ever to both be on their team this year and now there are no games. I think everyone else is scared of Minnesota. sniff, ‘just sayin’.
10:59 am on November 28th, 2012
Oh yeah, Linda the Lurker, your package is on the way.
11:03 am on November 28th, 2012
Staff, was that interview on Fresh Air? Every time someone dies, no matter how obscure to most of us, Terry Gross has interviewed him/her. She is amazing.
11:05 am on November 28th, 2012
Tupper&Gilly: To your folks…
a Very Successful Shew.
May their set-up be Easy
and the pack-up be Light.
After customers have bought
most everything in sight!!!
And…may Gramp get his glasses very soon.
Barb&Magpie: We are looking forward to seeing those photos when the kitchen is finished.
B: Baseball! (warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top, please)
11:23 am on November 28th, 2012
We wish us a Merry Christmas.
We wish us a Merry Christmas.
We wish us a Merry Christmas,.
And 4 CUPS of Good Cheer.
11:24 am on November 28th, 2012
Howlers: Hear, Hear!
Mom’s car radio is set to NPR at all times. She enjoys Jazzset, Car Talk (reruns) and Fresh Air to name but a few.
(right now she is listening online)
Dawson & Staff: What’s the deal with the hockey?
11:24 am on November 28th, 2012
Good luck at the shew. BSD said it so well.
Rose, We are going to wait and do a couple of pics when the countertop is in, painting is done and the do-dads placed on top of the cabinets.
Trying to stay motivated to do holiday stuff. Most of the shopping is done, but cards need to be addressed and gifts wrapped. Too lazy to get started!
Tried to figure out how to get our new address on to dishlickers, couldn’t quite get there. Rebecca said something about fish and mice, but that made no sense to Barb. Could probably email the address to dishlickers, but then at a loss as how to put it in the folder.
11:30 am on November 28th, 2012
Olay Howlers, I couldn’t remember if it was Terry Gross, but I was listening to her yesterday.
Barb, You mail it to dishlickers and I will put it in the correct file. Let me know once you did your part.
Got poked this a.m. so that is behind me. Now I am looking forward to Friday. The turtleman is giving me the whole dern tootin day off. I warned him I wasn’t coming back until the supper was over. Snicker. It is amazing how little it takes to make you feel free. I think I will look online to see if there are any estate sales with sewing machines in them….heh.
Oh yeah, and A Catty Librarian is coming on Sunday to see Maggie and me me me too. Elliot will be staying home.
11:34 am on November 28th, 2012
OOOOO Look at this ad…

Zowie! Maybe I will take my friend Annie…
11:52 am on November 28th, 2012
Masquers,
The hockey team owners have locked the players out in an attempt to break the union. So far all that has happened is they have cancelled a whole bunch of games. I did hear the other day that the Wild team owners are putting their office staff on reduced hours but so far no one is being let go.
Here is why I was finally looking forward to a hockey season here in Minnesota…
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=637188
11:52 am on November 28th, 2012
Staff: What fortuitous planning!
11:54 am on November 28th, 2012
B&M: Fish and mice! All I have to say is damn ipaw! I went back and reread what I sent you. No wonder you were confused. Yes, just email Dish your new address for your personal email and it can then be moved to the appropriate folder in Dishlickers.
Rio: If you’re out there, please check your SDD.
11:55 am on November 28th, 2012
Staff: The garage sale, not the hockey games!
(we posted at the same time)
11:58 am on November 28th, 2012
Howlers – tee hee.
12:02 pm on November 28th, 2012
Staff and Rebecca, Thanks for the help. I just emailed the new address to dishlickers. Rebecca, I am glad to know about the fishies and mousies!
Staff, Hve fun garage saleing (verb form) on Friday.
12:05 pm on November 28th, 2012
Staff: I received the puzzles. They were so beautifully wrapped that I didn’t want to unwrap them…but I did.
Southern pecan pie is being served, with whipped cream and ice cream on the side.
12:08 pm on November 28th, 2012
Belle Starr, Please ask your two-leggeds to be on the watch for many special envelopes coming their way.
Bear, you are a master poet!
12:12 pm on November 28th, 2012
Wose: My Two-legged mama is traveling for the rest of the week? Where? I forget. Will she be warm? Ha! Not a chance. Because they don’t let me have the key to my post office box, the responsiblity rest squarely on AJ. I sure hope he is up to the task.
12:14 pm on November 28th, 2012
Testing!…baseball – pie!…testing!…still top secret!…heh!..is this dern thing working?
12:15 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rebecca!…I checked and I tried to respond…snort!
12:21 pm on November 28th, 2012
We always appreciate it when Spence mentions baseball…next best thing to Chet and Barnie. R.I.P. Mr. Miller. He lived a long life.
Best of Luck at the show, Amelia and Leonard. May people be buying your art with the Christmas Spirit in their hearts and you won’t have too many crazies.
12:40 pm on November 28th, 2012
Package, on the porch. From Colorado! whoo Heee. Going to go open it NOW.
12:43 pm on November 28th, 2012
Belle Starr, how could your two-legged mama be warm without you next to her in bed. How will AJ be able to go to the post office, if he is strapped to the Most Top Secret Auction Gift? Maybe he will leave the briefcase to go to the post office, and you can tell me what is in there…..
12:47 pm on November 28th, 2012
BearSpiritDog – your prayer poem WORKED!!! Gramp’s glasses have come in. We are on the way to go get them. Woooo hooooo!!!!!
Thanks to all of you for good wishes for the show. We are going in loaded for bear ( sorry BSD). We are keeping all paws crossed for a good sales day on Friday so we can bid a lot at the auction.
12:48 pm on November 28th, 2012
Wose: It was a swing and a miss. I even tried pointing in the other direction and say, “Look moose!” He didn’t look. You think when I’m trying to be sneaky, he would have the courtesy to cooperate and have the wool pulled over his eyes.
12:57 pm on November 28th, 2012
Ohhhhhhhhh.
They are so beautiful. Sniff. Thank you Rio.
I bought the forget me not flowers. Those are the first flowers I learned. When we lived on the thumb in Michigan there was a little wild area near our house and it had Forget me Not growing there. I think it was Bruce that I asked what they were. He was always a smarty pants. We moved there when I was four and moved away when I was nine so sometime in that time I learned about the Forget me Not flower. I did not know they were the Alaska state flower till now.
There is also a tiny frame with beautiful roses around an oval porcelain thingy. It says Friendship, a special kind of love.
Thank you again, Rio.
12:58 pm on November 28th, 2012
Tupper&Gilly: Paws crossed they are the right prescription!
12:59 pm on November 28th, 2012
Belle Starr, I know you tried your best. Hey, maybe Lefty can get that briefcase loose. Belle Starr, check your two-legged mama’s SDD.
1:19 pm on November 28th, 2012
CHobbit, please check your SDD when able. :^)
1:33 pm on November 28th, 2012
We just saw a very disturbing post on facebookie about 2 of our kind going over the Bridge after eating poisonous mushroom growing in their backyard.
YEEP! Be careful everyone.
1:47 pm on November 28th, 2012
Staff!…You are the first to get your Boutique Items! …Wooooo!…Did all the pieces and parts stay put together on the projects??…snort!snort!
1:56 pm on November 28th, 2012
Staff, my concern is how to keep from opening the can. Those candies looked good. I am awaiting . .
T&G, good luck. AND both Staff, and T&G I do know how it feels to be free! It can be such a little thing that makes you feel that way.
Back from down the hills the other way from the Royals. We now have more food and THREE WREATHS! Very pretty.
On the other paw, both Zoe and I are zonked so the wreaths are not going up today!
2:02 pm on November 28th, 2012
Oh, before I rest. I do not understand the attraction of s*h*o*e*s. I know there are some people who love those things, but to me? Those things are put on your lowest limbs to be comfortable, to make your back stop hurting and so you can run if you need to . . fast.
Zoe is aware of my philosophy on this subject. We were standing in line and she said, “Melanie, I’m getting those (things) for you for a gift”.
A woman was standing in the grocery line in a pair of ratty jeans and a sweatshirt wearing spiked heels! ARGGGG.
2:12 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rio, Everything came through perfectly. I think they were packed so well that nothing could move or shake off. I am amazed at the roses. They stick out so far but they are not even wrinkled or crushed.
Melanie. I am with you on the shows. I can’t understand it myself. I would not be able to walk a step in those other types of (things). Now about socks. heh heh heh. I guess that is where my foot fetish shows up. Today I am wearing grey and black wool socks with snowflakes knit into them. 🙂 Well it is cold outside and I did have to go out. snicker. Anyway they make me happy.
2:28 pm on November 28th, 2012
Staff!…Don’t you love that little box?…heh!…My friend hated to part with it…grunt!
2:30 pm on November 28th, 2012
Delivery!…No one else has received anything yet?…grunt!
2:30 pm on November 28th, 2012
Heh, heh. The way Rio’s friend packed the first quilling I ordered, I didn’t have to buy packing materials for a year! Oh hay! Are there any quillings left at the store? Heh, heh.
2:34 pm on November 28th, 2012
T&G, we think this shew will be a really good one, as it is timed perfectly for holiday shopping.
Melanie and Staff, our mom feels exactly the same about those items. She hates them, and is completely clueless on why so many women have a fetish for the most painful kind. She only wears completely flat ones, and those are either sneakers or clogs or flip flops or riding boots. She actually wears riding boots to her office almost every day in winter.
Staff, she can never get enough sox. She loves those. Her current favs are the “Smart wool” ones that she buys at the health store.
2:40 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rio, I know better than to expect my package today.
2:49 pm on November 28th, 2012
SiberH!…The Tracking Device says you can expect delivery Today…heh!…I hope your mailman knows this…grunt!
2:50 pm on November 28th, 2012
Wookie!…Something you need has landed in your SDD…snort!…Quick like a bunny – go get it!…snort!
2:56 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rio: The Who Gives a Hoot quilling project did not come with today’s mail delivery.
3:02 pm on November 28th, 2012
Bee Stover,
Heh, heh, heh
Signed,
The Maurauding Goats
3:03 pm on November 28th, 2012
Heh, Rio. I did save the box. It is upstairs on my new sewing machine already. I don’t know what I need it for yet, but I know I need it. snicker.
3:16 pm on November 28th, 2012
I would like someone to go after those blasted goats.
3:18 pm on November 28th, 2012
Barb is the same way about foot thingy. Kelly and Jessica both wear those spikes that make them about 4-5″ taller (and Kelly is already 5’10”)! We love socks too. Just bought sister-in-law some really nice ones at NorthFace. They are designed to wear out in cold weather all day.
Got about a doz cards addressed with notes, then we quit.
3:25 pm on November 28th, 2012
Hmm, I do like my different colored socks.
Bella, check your SDD.
Friday my sister is coming for dinner. I will be cooking crustless crab quiche. Yum
3:33 pm on November 28th, 2012
Melanie, We here love crab. Fresh Market had a special yesterday for half price on crab legs, so Barb splurged and bought some. They were good, but not great, due to being previously frozen.
They also had some crab spread which was yummers!
3:49 pm on November 28th, 2012
Crab spread, eh? Hmmm
STAFF! Thank you! It is here.
3:53 pm on November 28th, 2012
Its a MIRACLE!!!! Gramp can SEE!!!
Woo Hooo Happy Happy Corgi Dance!!!!
Yippeeeeee!!!!
4:07 pm on November 28th, 2012
Happy Newfie Dance for Gramp!
Whoops, the floor is going up and down and up . .
Okay, totally inappropriate conversation. Zoe was handing out chewies for the Pack’s before our dinner treat. She mentioned she should just talk to the Farmer up the road who does his own butchering about getting the hide of one of his cattle. Then she said, “Of course, I don’t know how I would get it cooked for the dogs.”
Then I had an image, then a song hit. OHD
Rawhide? What the heck? Is THAT what the song is about? They are talking about cattle being RAW HIDE???
Zoe said there was no way. That isn’t the word they use in the song.
Guess what? I’m a little grossed out.

4:09 pm on November 28th, 2012
Okay, I’m being moderated. I have no idea why. Hope it comes up soon. Check back at 4:07 later.
4:17 pm on November 28th, 2012
Royals: Wooo Hooo!!!
5:10 pm on November 28th, 2012
We are so happy for Gramps, plus your trip will be more worry free now.
Melanie, Forget the crab spread. It is “all natural” but it is not gluten free.
6:01 pm on November 28th, 2012
T&G : Yipeee! Hurray for grandpa!!!
6:04 pm on November 28th, 2012
Wha!?….No one else has received their special boutique projects? I swear everything was Out for Delivery when I last checked…..grump!snort! – GOATS!….dammmit!
6:04 pm on November 28th, 2012
Woo Hooo!!!! Gramp can see! We don’t know if we are more excited for him, or for the Royals’ Mum.
Gus and Boo Bear, we received the Holiday guest towels. They are perfect. We put them in our guest bathroom, and we also put the Noel ornament there. It is hanging from the big ole antique medicine chest. Very nice.
6:06 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rio!!!!! As the Prof and I were leaving to do some errands earlier, a package was right outside our door. I opened the package when we returned ( B&N run, gas for the car, pick up dinner, and buy Powerball tickets).
I LOVE the penquins!!!! They will be going to work with me tomorrow, and the Owl in Fall Leaves is just beautiful . I am in awe of her wonderful work! We have to find a way your friend can do this as her regular job and make big bucks doing it!
6:09 pm on November 28th, 2012
Okay, going to try this moderated post again. Just have to figure out what to take out.
Happy Newfie Dance for Gramp!

Melanie!….Maybe the Moderator added another word to the “Bad List”…grunt!..I hope its not C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s….wheeze!
6:20 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rio!!!!! I just got home to find the blue duck of happiness. I love it, and the frog. The colors are even richer than in the picture and the sun’s eyes sparkle. It’s on an easel on the computer desk so every time I’m reading Chet’s blog, you’ll be with me. Your friend is very talented and I second Wose’s motion that quilling should be her regular job.
Yay for Gramp’s glasses and best wishes for the show this weekend.
Barb – we here really like Fresh Market crab dip. Have you checked out their deli and/or dessert case? Yum.
6:26 pm on November 28th, 2012
Blu-Kat!….Is the frogs tongue intact?…snort!…I’m only asking you because my friend worried about it on its journey cross country…sniff!…Is it still rolled up and that big ole fly still in there?..heh!
6:58 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rio! Your friend’s busy place sounds like a bunch of amateurs are running it.
I really understand you friend’s frustration.
7:01 pm on November 28th, 2012
Goodness I wonder what Melanie was trying to say. It is 7:00 blog time and her posts still have not appeared.
She must have been gamboling in her shows. heh heh heh.
7:29 pm on November 28th, 2012
Riö! Your friend’s busy place bug is catching. Our computer has been wheezing and struggling all afternoon.
Closing down for the night. See youse in the am. (I hope)
7:40 pm on November 28th, 2012
Computers!…bah!…If it takes that damned busy-place to fold because of crap software, so be it. She will finally get the Turkey-Guts to open an Etsy Shop and see what happens…grunt!…She said she has never been let go early because of networking or software issues in all the busy-places she’s been before…sniff!…Although, she has been predicting a Huge Meltdown ever since the software conversion…grunt!
7:42 pm on November 28th, 2012
Maskers!…Hasn’t your computer been wonky for quite some time now?…snort!…I sure hope it doesn’t blow-up right around Auction time…wheeze!
7:45 pm on November 28th, 2012
Melanie we checked the US Geological Service and they show seismic activity in your area. Perhaps the Newfs should take turns dancing.
Baseballs hit way in the sky,
We just want some Stover pie. (do we get two pieces since we also rhymed?)
Staff, you must have a magic wish, getting a sale with just what you wanted!
Yea Gramps, now just don’t get into any mischief while the cats are away. Oh, wait, the cats are not going anywhere.
7:50 pm on November 28th, 2012
RIP Zig Zigler. Another of those folks that we did not know we’re still living until they weren’t. Positive thoughts.
8:04 pm on November 28th, 2012
Rio, Got the package! The quilling is beautiful. We are very happy with it. The photograph doesn’t do it justice.
The package arrived in perfect condition. Your friend knows how to outsmart the post office.
8:09 pm on November 28th, 2012
SiberH!….Someone here is glad the box made it in one piece and the project too of course!…heh!…It was the box she had that the project fit into, but it was pretty beat up…heh!
Michigan!…That is the only state that has not delivered on time as it promised…grump!
8:11 pm on November 28th, 2012
Siber-H – Rio’s friend knows how to outsmart the Marauding Goats, too.
Yes, Rio. The pink tongue is all rolled up and the fly is still there. Poor fly.
8:12 pm on November 28th, 2012
Blu-Kat!…heh!…That wasn’t always a fly…snort!
8:14 pm on November 28th, 2012
We just talked to Melanie. She has been trying to post something about the song “R a w h i d e” and didn’t understand why it was being moderated. We gently explained to her that there is a famous naughty web site with that same name. Oh, she said. Then she snorted and laughed
8:18 pm on November 28th, 2012
(yelling with an echo) HOLD ON . . HOLD on . . HOLd on . . HOld on . . Hold on . .
(crashing and banging sounds) Snigglefritz, Carpola, hold still Franklin . . No, don’t help . . NOW ALL OF YOU PULL.
Whew. I didn’t notice that the Newfs had created a hole in the floor with their dancing. I’ve been stuck in the basement for hours.
8:21 pm on November 28th, 2012
Everyone is getting their boutique items! Hurrah!
Macy, I have no doubt that the dancing showed seismic activity up here. They have finally stopped. I’m not sure who caused the hole, but Mac and Mattie are looking sheepish. (dogish?)
It is time . . Zoë and I had a good day, she’s already to sleep, and I’m headed that way.

Hey wait, you Royals’ you! I KNOW that I’m not the only one who has does something of the sort on the internet!
All in innocence. I swear.

Rio – wasn’t it YOU that told us about that web site?
tee hee

Heh,
I didn’t know about any raw sites either. Amazing what is out there that you don’t want to know about. snicker. I am glad Melanie is out of the basement.
By the way I sent Melanie’s package parcel post and it got there today, all the way to MA. However according to Stover, who is much nearer in MI the box I sent to her PRIORITY MAIL, was not delivered today. HUMPH! However it says it was delivered on the USPS website. BStover have you looked????

Whew! I am glad that BStover got her package. Now I come to think of it she did say that she loved the inner wrapping. Heh. Yup I remember it now. I used my favorite star holographic silver paper. Yummy stuff.
I have a card here that the Turtleman brought for me to give to Dawson. heh. It is funny. (Background, the Turtleman buys and restores old letterpresses and other printing equipment, see http://www.drewpress.blogspot.com/) He was visiting a friend with an old letterpress (Think 1890’s treadle machines) and got this great card. On wonderful heavy stock paper it shows a Canadian Mounty framed in front of an orange maple leaf and under it it says. CANADA, protecting the U.S. from Alaska tee hee.
Then you can write anything you want on the inside.

If you click on the card info you will get a better picture of the card. I am sure he doesn’t want to put up a really good photo as it will be ripped off.

Staff, does everyone in your family have a pet obsolete machine? Heh-heh
Barb, have you placed your order for Schwetty Balls? Oops mom said I can’t ask that but what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her (much). I sure hope Bee doesn’t ask for an explanation.
Royals, mom has some buttons that seem very familiar. Are they related to a bear?
