February 2.

Halfway between the winter solstice and the
spring
equinox.

Celebrated for thousands of years by most
advanced
religious
traditions.

Has been westernized as St. Brigid's Day: St
Brigid
was
supposedly
the
daughter or employee of the inkeeper in
Bethlehem.
When Mary and Joseph arrived, the hotel was
full
and
the
well
had
gone
dry. The innkeeper left Brigid in charge,
with
strict
instructions
not
to sell any portion of the meager food and
water
reserves
to
anybody.
According to legend, Brigid obeyed the
innkeeper
and
did
not
sell
them
any food or drink-- but she gave freely of
her
own
personal
loaf
of
bread and flask of drinking water. The
legend
says
that
after
the
holy
family left to go to the stable, Brigid
noticed
that
her
loaf
of
bread,
which had been almost entirely consumed by
Mary
and
Joseph
was
fully
restored, and her water flask was brimming
with
cool,
clear
water.
Charming tale.

Also previously known as Candlemass, marking
the
end
of
Mary's
ritual
purification period following the birth of
Jesus.

Also previously known as a heck of an excuse
to
party,
while
recognizing any number of polytheistic
dieties.
:-)

Now popularly known as "Groundhog Day." Any
of
the
old
stories
are
more
interesting than some tradition about a
burrowing
animal
and a
shadow.

Ought to be a boating holiday. It's halfway
between
solstice
and
equinox, boating weather and longer daylight
hours
are
returning
to
the
northern latitudes.

Today would be a beautiful day to be on the
Chesapeake
Bay.
There
isn't a cloud in the sky, the winds are calm,
and
the
temperature
is
a
brisk 30 F.

But, Punxsutawney Bill, our local groundhog,
says,
"Six
more
weeks!"

Hehe...would you mean PHIL???

Could be Phil. Hearing loss makes the
distinguishing
of
'ph'
and
'b'
sounds difficult sometimes.

John H

He's been around for years and years, you've never
READ
about
him?

No. I've never really gotten interested in reading
a
whole
lot
about
a
ground hog. I did shoot one once. We had it for
dinner.
Roasted
it.

I suppose there are a lot of people who do a lot of
reading
about
ground hogs. It's unfortunate that I've never been
interested
in
them.

I did collect stamps though. Have you ever done
that.
There
are
a
lot
of stamps with ships on them. I guess that'd be
boating
related,
huh?

You *are* a wealth of information.

You have never, ever read anything in the newspaper
concerning
Phil? Do
you READ the newspaper? Hell, I've heard of him and
have
never
lived
even remotely close to Punxatauny. He's even
mentioned
in
the
newspapers in FL every year.


Obsessed with groundhogs Bassy?

Why? Because I can, and do read the newspaper?????


Congratulations. How long did it take you to learn how
to
do
it?

Jeez, I don't exactly know that, Jim. I think I began
reading
short
words, from the Dick and Jane books..

And that was when? Last year perhaps?

Congratulations on the step up to newspapers. Are you past
the
funny
pages
yet?

Pretty stupid of you, really Jim. Stop, think for a second.
You
CAN
think can't you? How the hell do you suppose I'm reading your
drivel??
DOH......


I would have guessed your Mom is reading it to you....or that
Harry
is
re-writing it in real short words and sending it back to you to
read.
You
did, after all, just admit that you just completed learning
the
short words
in the Dick and Jane books.

Short words....a

also.....

Life must be a bitch for you.

It certainly must be for YOU, with reading comprehension like
yours!!!
Please, Jim show where I ever said that I "just completed
learning
the
short words in the Dick and Jane books." Man oh Man! I'm not
sure
you
can read ANYTHING and actually grasp the content.


It is sure fun trolling for Bassy.........then catching him,
playing
with
him on the line for a bit before reeling him in and releasing him.

And the fun part is he keeps going for the same bait. This boy
will
never
learn.

Releasing you now Bassy.....but my baited hook will be in the
water
again in
a minute or so.....are you ready?

Hehe! I love it! EVERY time that you finally figure out that you
can't
get it right, and realize you were dead wrong, you then try to say,
oh,
I knew I was wrong, I was just trolling......


LOL. Where I have I ever said that before? And those folks reading
this
very stupid thread will know I was not wrong.


Really? Then please, show where I said that I "just completed learning
the short words in the Dick and Jane books" as YOU stated.

Very stupid thread, indeed. Only because YOU made it so.

Yep....I had to bring it down to your level. Get it?



You are the only one who does
not get it. In fact, I can never remember a time where you did get
it.

I got it now. I had it throughout this thread.

Got it?



Quite the contrary, Jim. You are the one who "doesn't get it". Your
reading comprehension above would tell one such.

"Your reading comprehension above..."????? Yikes!

Nope, you don't get it and you still don't have a clue.



Speaking of that.....it looks like you never found the "clue" you
lost.
You also did not pay a visit to the Wizard like I told you to do.
Both were
homework assignments from over a week ago.

You don't "tell" me anything. Who to **** do you think you are?


Your boss....your Commander. Now do as I say.



Get back with me when your homework is finished. You will need to
show me
your "clue" and the brain the Wizard gave you in order to get a
passing
grade.

Kiss my ass. Do this, Jim. Make me do anything I don't feel like doing.
Try it.


Your choice Bassy......keep being "clueless" and without a brain. I was
only trying to help you and your buddy Krause.

How can you help me? You don't have reading comprehension skills. I'm
still waiting, by the way. You said you weren't wrong above. So....show
me where I ever said that I "just completed learning the short words in
the Dick and Jane books" as YOU stated.

Yes. I rarely am.

OK. What time will you be over tonight?

Hmm, I think YOU need a clue. Again, show me where I ever said I "just
completed learning the short words inthe Dick and Jane books" as YOU
stated. Can you? Be specific.
