Changed the layout and color scheme of my journal a little bit while Fatima cleaned house for me. Looks like Rosemary's branching out, and Fatima will be the new cleaner-upper.

Shot for some earth tones and greens, but I don' t know if I'll stick with 'em yet.



Looks like some serious rain today... minimal walkies, then.



Moment of Lyric - mp3

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I’m going to get along,
Without you, when you’re gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he’s down
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat

The Weezle knew the answer to my tree question... the purple flowering plant is a Bauhinia (otherwise known as a Poor Man's Orchid) Has been an emblem of Hong Kong since 1965. Local people call the leaf chungmingyip (聰明葉, lit. "cleverleaf"), and regard it as a symbol of cleverness. Some people use the leaves to make bookmarks in the hope that it will assist them to study well.

Weez gets a gold star!

But at times, you insist on getting your way - when it matters most to you.

Chiropractor claims to travel through time

Ohio investigates provider who offers to reach into past to heal patients

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A chiropractor who claims he can treat anyone by reaching back in time to when an injury occurred has attracted the attention of state regulators.

The Ohio State Chiropractic Board, in a notice of hearing, has accused James Burda of Athens of being "unable to practice chiropractic according to acceptable and prevailing standards of care due to mental illness, specifically, Delusional Disorder, Grandiose Type."

Burda denied that he is mentally ill. He said he possesses a skill he discovered by accident while driving six years ago.

"My foot hurt and, knowing anatomy, I went ahead and I told it to realign and my pain went away," Burda said Thursday.

Burda calls his treatment "Bahlaqeem."

"It is a made-up word and, to my knowledge, has no known meaning except for this intended purpose. It does, however, have a soothing vibrational influence and contains the very special number of nine letters," Burda's Web site says.

The board alleges in three counts against Burda that the treatment is unacceptable and constitutes "willful and gross malpractice." Burda has until May 1 to request a hearing. The board can levy penalties ranging from a reprimand to revoking his license to practice, said Kelly Caudill, the board's executive director.

Caudill said she could not discuss the board's allegations while the investigation continues and could not comment on whether any of Burda's patients had complained. She said the board began the investigation when it learned of Burda's Web site. Burda said he likely will seek a hearing.

Burda said he charges nothing for his first "visit," usually by phone or Internet, and subsequent treatments are $60.

"All treatments are satisfaction-guaranteed. Treatment is always done before payment is made," Burda said, adding that one patient "just wasn't satisfied, and I tore up her check.

The Web site describes the treatment as "a long-distance healing service (not a product) to help increase the quality of your life that can be performed in the privacy of your home or other personal space. There is no need to come to my office."

The treatment is not telepathic because the patient does not have to believe in what he's doing, Burda said. He has treated hundreds of patients and reports nine out of 10 patients are satisfied, he said.

While he knows of no other people who have his particular skill, he said lawmakers and regulators should allow alternative forms of treatment for the patients who seek them.

"People who are in need cannot go to these people because they are not allowed to practice. This is terrible," Burda said.

very pretty colors.
By the way last night I dreamt you were my room-mate--you hogged the bathroom by taking looong baths and you dressed like Shaft. I think I like the real you better.

And I just remembered that I'm fairly certain I had a dream about you last night. Unfortunately, the details are fuzzy. :/

thanks! Spring has Sprung!

Nah, I'm a gentleman. If I know someone needs or wants the bathroom, I shuffle out as quick as I can.

That said, I did take a nice 20 minute soak last night.. but I didn't dress like shaft. (I dress more like Henry McCoy of the comics on the weekends - Hawaiian Shirt, Long Shorts, Ball cap)

Hahaha everyone's dreaming of Scotto---hmm wonder what's up with the collective consciousness?

You did look pretty pimpin' in my dream---you had a long leather coat that was buttoned agog and I kept trying to tell you to fix it but you were rushing out the door to go somewhere. I swear I'm never eating dark chocolate before bed again.

Newt's been tooling in the lab on his psychotronic somnambulation device. Maybe a side effec tis that I get to pass through dreams that have more concentric circles inside them.

I'm not a big one for leather, but a Long duster could be fun!

oh, you'll have dark chocolate before bed again. It's required!

I think maybe my dream was also a product of this http://inkygypsy.livejournal.com/68231.html

Dark chocolate + red wine headache + talking about livejournal people at gypsy's = dreams where scotto scares the bejeezus outta me.

After feeling ugh from Gypsy's wine (and other assorted beverages) I bought some freaky foreign chocolate (Lindt) at the local candy shop yesterday--it has the percent of cocoa on it---I bought the 85% (highest) and I could hear the owner sucking through his teeth as I picked it up. Next time maybe I'll do the low octane dark instead of super dark.

I'll have dark chocolate before bed again if you promise to be a bit nicer next time (and at least let a girl in when she has to go!) :D

These colors so suit you!

And look at the Newtster, so very patient. Don't you just love the paws of a cat?

And "Old School" music. Yah!

Thank you! I'm really a rust/brown/orange sort, but greens are my favorite "cool" colors.

Newt can be qutie patient... He's a pretty smart cookie, and seems to have worked out when to wait and when to complain.

Glad you like the tunes!

too much tannic acid?

I cannot speak for my dream self, but I will speak to him, and insist that he be a bit more polite.

I lost all my music when the buttheads got hold of my computer so now I must resort once again to free stuff. Of course I come here to get it.

If you can get a cat to respond like the Newtster does than you must be very, very good with kids. I'm up for adoption, btw. :)

I'm pretty good with the kidlets, but prone to spoiling. Not sure how well I am at discipline, unless it's something very important to safety.

I have some music squirreled away at -

http://audio.scottobear.com (for a little while anyway) if you'd like to get some more!

I might not be able to adopt, but I'll happily feed you and let newt play with you!

Food and catlett, I'm in.

And I will take advantage of that URL. Mucho thanks.

my pleasure! let me know if it vanishes.. I may have to move it, if a lot of people start grabbing all my tunes at the same time.

YAY!!! I haven't had a gold star in ever! The new layout is great, and I stared and stared at Newtie's big green eyes and kitty mouth. Like a quirky smile. I have something tiny and orange for him from Mickey World...Did I already tell you that?

Thank you so much! I don't think you mentioned Newt's prezzie! :D

You certainly deserve a gold tar! that'd have driven me up a wall!
