i LOVE dr. who.
thanks, now my computer can be bogged down with several gigs of dr. who

5 in the 2006 one, the doc in that one is cuter :) and 4 in the 2005 one

Well… as your Mom, you KNOW how *I* vote! lol…

But seriously… you jumped right into college from a fairly “leisurely” home school environment and you thrived.

I know that you now know what is involved in a pressing schedule, so there would be more experience involved in this “break” and re-entry.

But I truly believe that you have international potential and this time of living abroad would be your first foray into that realm.

Plus, with all the martial law being enforced against lawful elections in various departments of Bolivia and with a constitutional re-write in Bolivia’s near future, you would have first-hand experience in a field that has grabbed your imagination and passion… constitutional law.

And it would just be good to have you here, to share in the discovery and re-interpretation of life for us here in Bolivia.

I vote “YES” for the “interlude”!

Love you,
 Mom

I stay off-line for three days and this is what I miss! And shouldn’t that course be titled “Happily Ever Laughter”?

Thanks for the link to makeupalley, there were 2 reviews and both said it was not at all worth the cost.

(I’m working at changing my internet presence over to “sanbreakity” from “onyxblue.” I’m just tired of “onyxblue.”)

I still cannot imagine having a cat actually trained to use the toilet. I know the Mongrel Horde would never go for it.

Oh, honey. I’m crying for you.

I’m sure the Christmas music (Mahalia Jackson singing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!” and now Willie Nelson doing “Away in a Manger”) isn’t helping (I’m such a bad pagan), but it’s more your story.

I’m so sorry you can’t spend the holidays with your family. I’d suggest you come up here and spend them with us, but we’re spending them with our families, and I wouldn’t subject you to that. And you have your friends there.

Yeah, well, we’d still do something to cheer you up if we could.

Of course, this means if we can get it organized and convince you not to run away screaming, we can still venture down to visit you before you leave.:-)

Kooks and gutless,corrupt politicians run USA and hollywood and the press back them (what representation). Might have to move to find a sensible leader.

Lorien,

I find your comments and your logic of impeccable quality, and of the highest intelligence. I find it unusual that someone educated as you have been in the universities of our current socialist nation still maintains the integrity of our forbears and founding fathers. Thank you so much for standing up for the right and freedoms as others have done in past. Your stance will prevent us from having to live what those founding fathers had to endure when standing in words failed and force became the only alternative.

I wish you luck in your studies and pray for you safety in a world drenched in the denial of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sincerely,
Barry F. Lochridge

I don’t know when or if you’ll see this message — I am leaving this Thursday, June 28, for a two-week mission trip in a rural area near Cochabamba. We are flying American from Nashville to Miami to La Paz but then Aerosur from La Paz to Cochabamba. I have gotten conflicting reports about how much luggage we’re allowed to take on Aerosur. A fragment of the under-construction Aerosur web site seems to say 20kg (44 pounds) of checked baggage, total, per passenger, but the travel agent who booked our trips told my travel companion that as long as we had only two bags we would be fine. Can you shed any light on this?

please could you send me the elements of state and also i have another questionand the question is is positive and negative liberty complimentry to each other?

Well, you don’t seem like the standard bit of spam as no advertising is included… so let’s give this a go.

1) What IS your country?

2) What exactly offended you?

I commend President Nietzel on his policy and beliefs regarding Missouri State’s campus security. As a former employee who worked early and late hours I was well aware of the need for good campus security. When I locked building doors when I was at work before dawn, I got exasperated sighs and rolling of supervisor’s eyes.

I took pride in my work and deserved a modicum of security. There is an ignorance and insensitivity about these issues among some employees. There is also indifference and disregard for others’ personal experience.

When I am met with those who disregard my needs. It disturbs me.

I also would implore those working within the hiring process to seriously examine background checks and also conduct a an evaluation of all supervisors.

I enjoyed my stay at MSU and I wish the students and staff success in their endeavors.

Good luck in future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Kitty Roberts

Oh, my God, that was gross. That you were nonchalant about it is a troubling thought.

I was just wondering if you are single?

When she says “we” she isn’t using the plural to be polite and pretend I care too. Be careful. I wish there was something I could do.

Wow.

Please excuse the drool.

Hmm … copper sheet, brass bolts, willow probably because oak’s a bastard to work, and that Royal I think is beyond my ability to repair . . .

I’m feeling casemoddy now!

Lorien:
Thanks for your comments on my site. Credit for the video is due to Otto at Inca Kola News, though, who was mailed it from sources unknown. I saw, though, that it is now being aired on Bolivian TV.
I have got some quibbles with you, but I will try to be civil. I think that you need to source your accusations. A) Where have you heard about this $10,000 bounty on the heads of the DEA? Who is offering it? Documentation please.
B) Same with your differing accounts of the massacre in Pando. Sources please. (I am not accusing you of lying, far from it, but I need corroboration. And I certainly have not read all the news that comes out, so I please correct me if I am wrong.)
Again, thanks for the comments and you are always welcome to visit my blog, comment, correct me, etc.
Best,
D.S.
The above email I entered is my spam account, as my real one is my full name and even I am a little too paranoid to put that online — did you see the black helicopters last night kidding, kidding…

Excellent. I will check those accounts out. Which means I have t go get my hard drive, put it on there, and lock myself in my room with a Spanish dictionary, as my Spanish is crap. Thanks!

We haven’t seen anything from you in a week! Say something so we don’t have to worry.

Persisting. Moving forward one day at a time.

hey lorien, i would be interested in reading this ‘cept it just went to your splash page when i clicked read more…

hb’s last blog post..We need more parties in the USA.

its rediculous of the spending the us has started doing, its a soft tyranny

According to the Mr. Coffee website, they released the first automatic drip coffee maker in 1972.

We have many food processors. We call them knives, potato mashers, box graters, wire whisks… . With just a little bit of regular practice, we can work quite quickly with them, and they’re very energy efficient. They run on beer. I don’t think twice about not having some fancy electric food processor, and I can’t imagine finding somewhere to store a useless electric scale. Mona uses a wooden spoon to mix cookie dough because she’s too much of a snob to use the electric beaters.

Heck, our oven is a 110th anniversary model from a company started in 1874, making it … (wait, higher math happening) … twenty-five years old. I wonder if she (article chick, not Mona) could work with that?!?

I kind of envy you your cooking situation. I want to build a wood-burning brick oven and grill in the back yard, but I’m not sure if local building/zoning regulations would allow it, and I would like to grow and can my own vegetables (sure, work at the end of the season, but just open a jar later), so your technological setbacks sound, to me, like challenges!

I agree with you that Frazzled Idiot-Cook must be just lousy at it. (I’ll follow the link in a few minutes.)

I also agree with Mona that you should post more often.

Mona and Henry! Really, please, get on Facebook already. I’m so horrible about checking LiveJournal blogs now.

Meanwhile, even I know that electricity from the wall provides more efficient and less expensive energy than beer. When I become a *real* grownup with my own kitchen, I intend to have the Kitchenaid mixer and a food processor. But I don’t have kids to feed. So.

Victory gardens, ahoy. At least you needn’t worry about building permits for them - yet. I’d quite like to have an apple orchard and cidery, but that would require people manage the thing.

Still. Apple cider on demand. Dream.

Hey Lorien !

I was reading some of your posts, and wanted to ask, if not too much problem, about places / things to do that you enjoyed while being in Cochabamba as part of your regular day to day.

I’ve been living my whole life in Cochabamba, and when friends from abroad come I not sure about what to show or places to go (I feel like Cochabamba does not have that much to offer compared to La Paz for example).

Much appreciated!

Tomi

Hugs. I’ll be praying for you Lorien. Just remember God always works things out for His will. :)

Waiting to read #4 and praying you are totally OK.
