This a very young woman who obviously needs some help, so I offered.
How did I know she's a young woman?
She didn't know how to pronounce Abba (she called them a.b.b.a. like it was some form of meter measurement and she she'd obviously never hear of the Bee Gees, A.K.A. the Brothers Gibb.)
I told you, way back when, getting the first one was the toughest.
Now I have two and it didn't take another three years and several thousands more dollars of spending on my part.

There is one called "At the Back" by Karolina Wojdak [ http://www.artoshirt.net/servlet/the-370/MS/Detail ] which is beautiful in a deeply intriguing way. I am always fascinated by the way artists perceive the world.
They see the same thing we mere mortals do but they seem to take away a very different mental image from the same landscape my ultra- or magic-realist eyes merely sees.
I would try to out texture a fractal. That's why I'm glad to be involved in audio. (Although back when Wendy was Walter, I played with the shapes of sound waves and how that affected our auditory perception.)
I hope you folks out there are buying these because I'm not going to be outside much to look at them once the heat hits.

I received the CADDi in the mail, and, after trying it out, I feel that I can honestly recommend the CADDi by BARBCO. [ http://barbco.biz ]
The picture of the CADDi in use sort of says it all.
BarbCo is very generously giving a dollar of off every order they process to a bunch of causes and YOU select the cause.
The theme this episode is "Stay Focused" because that's so important for MSers.
And so exhausting too.
You have to stay focused on "everything".
If you're anywhere where you'd really like to let your hair down and really enjoy yourself, you cant really let your hair down and enjoy yourself because you're concerned with things like spasticity or even falling over.
Its hard to gracefully get a little tipsy on vino when you are either favoring one hand, and single handedness is a symptom of MS, or sloshing a glass of red all over yourself and your nice white shirt.
Stay Focused sounds like one of my darling wife's mantras.
But frankly its gets tiring never letting go, cutting loose and actually having the rest of that beer.
"In Vino Veritas", "Truth from wine", used to be the old Roman way of proving who your friends were.
You'd lounge around the "vomitarium" attending to the orgy, getting pie eyed, and quaffing to your heart's content. (Quaffing it like drinking except you spill more.)
The following morning all that could even be remembered was forgiven. but the truth was known.
(Yes "vomitarium" sounds disgusting, and it was, but they were Romans and they totally owned the world, sort of like the "soit-disant" nuptual parties of the days of prohibition or the Bacchanals of Bernie Madoff and the like, [The libertine attitude of the Paris Hiltons of this world came from somewhere, you know?])
Lord I sound like a drunk but its been so long since I've had a pint or three at a pub with a friend while we bullshit and chew the rag.
That's one reason I miss Eugene since he returned to the "spawning grounds" to help take care of his old, cantankerous father, way the heck out on Long Island.
And Long Island makes me think of "Long Island Ice Tea".
Damn. I think I need a drink.
Heck, Its the week-end, i've got nobody who just dying to see me, so I think I will go out on this grey afternoon, do my slow dance between the rain drops and pop on down to the booze sore and buy a bottle of red for the pork chop we're having for supper.
Oh, the "Centralia" "Highway 61 Revisited Johnny Winter YouTube video at the front of this episode is because I know somebody, originally from round there as it turned out.
The story of the underground fire there is a cautionary tale for us all.
Unchecked passions burn deep and lay waste to the surface.
