		<description>mosquito does his part, as usual, to suck the funny and the lightness of every post here once again.

Seriously, mosquito, do you have ANY sense of humor?  Is EVERYTHING serious and political for you?  Are you that bitter at life?

Ugh. You are sad.

		<description>Mmmmmm...strawberries. I have three kinds of raspberries and when I&#039;m feeling very adventurous I brave the poison ivy to pick the blackberries that grow wild on the edge of the woods. 
I also once had  a chicken, but it met with an untimely death. One minute it was watching the men repair the chopper the next... well...there was nothing but feathers floating through the air.</description>

		<description>Whackette - Try a homemade insecticide soap, natural of course; made out of nicotine and dish soap.

Both of you - When I was a kid, we grew strawberries, which we are adding to the garden this year. Next year, asparagus. Since I am supposedly retired (like I noticed) I have time to fill the gaps in the garden. Of course, I work the kids like rented mules in the summertime :)

OT - Vivian, do you know how to get hold of MB? I tried sending him an email earlier and it said it was all full. Appreciate it.</description>

		<description>I knew you grew milk :) but even so, I figured you had a garden. Heck, I grew up in the city and we had a garden every year: tomatoes, green beans, corn, collards, yellow squash. One year, we had watermelon! And when I was small, we had chickens and turkeys.</description>

		<description>We grow milk :)

I only grow enough so I don&#039;t have to buy them in the summer. I don&#039;t put any up. The problem with large gardens is finding time to take care of them so you harvest more than just weeds. I&#039;m usually pretty busy and Republitarian does NOT garden though the girls are becoming more helpful and they love being able to pick a snack anytime they want. The sugar snap peas that escaped the bugs were a big hit last year.</description>

		<description>Mark - you&#039;ve got a pretty impressive setup there ;) Similar to mine. 

As for the salsa and most of those veggies - I think I&#039;ll pass. But send me some sweet potatoes! 

Whackette - stroll thru the grocery store? Don&#039;t you grow veggies on your farm?</description>

		<description>I suddenly feel like strolling through the produce section of the grocery store, but I would likely be disappointed.</description>

		<description>Last year, we had well over 100 tomato plants, plus a lot more.

Corn, Black eyed peas, snaps, blueberries, peppers (3 kinds), rhubarb, sweet potatoes, yukon gold, reds, canteloupe, watermelon, gourds, onions, cucumbers for pickles, cabbage, broccoli, etc

God I love living in the country!</description>

		<description>Whackette, I also forgot to mention we make our own salsa and other tomato products (V8), and we will probably have some crab dip as well.

We gave some away to a campaign last year, and the volunteers couldn&#039;t get enough!</description>

		<description>Whackette,

We always have something, even if it is just family.

You are welcome to come over when ever you want. ;)

Jim - It&#039;s not like they told us they were giving us a TV, we can just avoid paying interest for a few years, hopefully long enough to pay it off. 

Vivian - I forgot to mention the new Yamaha A/V receiver, and Klipsch surround speakers; it&#039;s the nicest gear I have ever had! :)
Oops! That includes a 12&quot; subwoofer, also Klipsch</description>

		<description>Not really, Mark. I&#039;m just surprised that it&#039;s here already. Kinda late for grabbing a sitter and I can&#039;t just take them with me &#039;cause one is grounded.

I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever been invited to a super bowl party before.

Maybe next year?</description>

		<description>Like the NFL doesn&#039;t have enough money, they need to carp about licensing fees....

We just got a 65&quot; Mitsubishi HDTV last weekend. I am still hooking it all up. We had wanted to get one anyway, but when they said no interest for two or three years, we said, &quot;ok&quot;.

So, if anyone wants to come out to BFE Virginia (Cumberland County) and watch, we always have good snackies.

Megan?

		<description>I wonder if similar rules will affect my Water Polo Championship viewing soiree this year?

In all seriousness, though, I do think it&#039;s kind of sad that the NFL would be so heavy-handed in a situation like this.</description>

		<description>The copyright law (as lobbied for and &quot;changed&quot; for corporate interests) should show everyone WHY corporations need to be regulated (IF you didn&#039;t know that already....)

We need a NEW copyright law that us consumer friendly....instead of corporate friendly and one that will let us once again view great documentaries like Eyes on the Prize that used to be legal (like big tv screens and are no longer legal...)

So let&#039;s bring back the right to see (and make) documentaries like Eyes on the Prize AND get our right to have as big a tv we want in our home without corporations feeling they have the right to enter our homes and start making rules....BUZZ  BUZZ</description>

		<description>No, those restrictions apply to all public performances, unless otherwise agreed to by license.  Those big sports bars, with giant screens?  Have themselves a license.

Confusing?  By design. We lawyers find a way to make ourselves necessary . . .</description>

		<description>Well, I&#039;m saying that the law is on the side of the NFL in this case.  On the question of should, in a moral sense, I really don&#039;t know.  Or care.  It&#039;s just football.  I had Redskins tickets to every home game for three years, and maybe went to three.

		<description>Just to be clear - this isn&#039;t a restriction on in-home viewing.  The rules cited (which come from Fairness in Music Licensing Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 110(5)(B)(i)(II))) apply to public showings (generally thought of as showings in a sports bar or something).  The idea was that sports bars shouldn&#039;t be making money (by charging for admission) off of what the NFL was providing for free (by broadcasting it over the air).  That the church in the article wasn&#039;t actually charging doesn&#039;t seem to make a difference, under the text of the statute. 

Don&#039;t like it?  Tell Congress to actually listen to someone besides Disney, the NFL, or the RIAA when writing our IP laws.  Our own Rick Boucher will almost certainly listen.

(The above isn&#039;t legal advice, etc., etc.)</description>

		<description>How is the NFL supposed to enforce such a stupid rule?  Are there going to be cops ready at the door to arrest anyone who breaks it?

Of course this could also affect my plans for viewing the Super Bowl.  Is the NFL trying to lose fans or is it just incidental?</description>
