Gnome de Plume commented on the blog post Crowd Source Request: Occupy Sandy Relief Needs Help Fighting Mold
Mold is tough to get rid of completely. If at all possible, the tainted material should be removed and disposed of properly. I am speaking mainly about buildings, houses – the sheet rock will most likely be ruined from exposure to water, so it needs to come off, as does the insulation if it is anything but new-fangled foam. Wood and brick or stone is recoverable. They need the cleaning that those chemicals can provide. Ventilation is very important, both for the health effect of breathing, as well as drying purposes. Use lots of fans, and heaters if the space is enclosed. Don’t even try to save carpeting.

Gnome de Plume commented on the diary post An MMT Fiscal Responsibility Narrative: Some Truths After Crowd Sourcing Revision by letsgetitdone.
Thanks Joe for this article. If you don’t mind, I am going to save it to be used as a quick explanation of MMT for my arguments. What started my earlier round of discussions with my friends on the right that short piece by Gobry in Forbes in late October. I got a lot of [...]

The other side does not perceive what it is doing as lie, nor do those on our side that buy into its BS believe some of the myths. I live in the midst of Romney loving zombies. I have had discussions with several successful business men about MMT. They cannot let go of their myths. [...]

Gnome de Plume commented on the diary post Sunday Food: Semi-Homemade Corn Chowdah by dakine01.
I met dakine years at that gathering of Pups at my watery place that you missed because you got lost. That must have been what, five or six years ago?! It took me a minute to figure out what oan-yaon was. I thought perhaps it was another Hawaiian word. I have had pleasure of tasting [...]

Gnome de Plume commented on the blog post Everybody Is Not A Winner Day: The Breitb-Arting
I was clicking through some Hollywood fashion site last night where an actress’s face was poorly photoshopped onto runway models’ poses. Whoever did that could have used a lesson from any of the entries here. These entries were seamless, perfect. The Hollywood “serious” try was bleeech. They couldn’t even get head/body proportions correct. Yay for

Gnome de Plume commented on the diary post The Religious Right’s Assault on Palliative Care by BarbaraCoombsLee.
These people believe suffering is part of God’s plan. Women are “punished” for original sin by having to suffer through painful birth. I would hate to live with their god who is one who hates and punishes instead of loves and relieves suffering. One of the upshots of enacting this kind of legislation on a [...]

ET, marvelous piece. Thanks. I live in a Texas world not dis-similar to Wassilla and Alaska; only we’re a little smoother, but not by much.

Gnome de Plume commented on the blog post Late Late Night FDL: Crazy Game of Poker
I got EPU’d downstairs. My little town is a bit to the northwest of Nahant, but still in the Boston area – Bedford. I’m going to take a few days by myself afterward at my parents’ condo in Falmouth on the Cape for a little R&R.

An eleven minute video? No wonder no one is commenting yet? I am fighting off the world’s clingy-est cat. Every night at this time Gus come in for what he thinks is affection, whereby I am turned into a human pin cushion.

I’m heading up to New England next week for a high school reunion. I am really looking forward to the break in weather, scenery, culture, etc.

Pretty good. Sure could use some of that rain that the rest of you keep hogging. It is so hot and dry that I think I only ventured outside twice today!

Hi gang. I haven’t been here for awhile. My brain hurt too much to think about all the Washington idiocies, and I couldn’t stay up late enough to play with the late nighters. But now Mr. gnome’s granddaughter is up watching TV and Mr. Gnome has gone to bed, so I have to monitor the Tween world.

Gnome de Plume commented on the blog post Thursday Night Basset Blogging
Not only do they know fairness, they definitely can count. At least my standard poodle, Arthur, can. They each get four treats at bedtime. After the fourth is delivered, Arthur turns and goes back to whatever he was doing before Mr. Gnome announced treat time.
I am so glad to hear that Fenway is better.

Ummm, Do they have any “privates” that can be saved? I think that may be the problem. Nancy has the only set of them.

The sad thing is that The All Stars Project is a great program. I’ve donated to it before, back when I’ve had money, because one of my best friends is very active in tutoring for them.
$110,000 is not that much money by Manhattan charity standards. They are missing a zed. It is a tough economic time.
