Martha(whad her litter in December) is in season. Obviously, she will not be mated this time. Sooooo....Brad and Clark are kept in one room and she in another. they are walked separately, let out in the garden separately. Simple, no? NO! Brad and Clark spend their day whining and barking. Martha thinks that is the way to spend her day too. Brad has drawn blood on his willy from being hard all day and night. Clark being young and virgin, just gets in tiz and wets himself. Martha gets mean with her puppies from last year. And poor Phoebe, the Yankee, is just confused. Virgin(and will remain so-one yankee is enough) and no season, she does not know what is going on. She thinks they want to play so she bounces on Martha or Brad and Clark. They of course tell her to '**** off' so she gets all upset and sits in the corner. - -- bw colin colin@tantra.fsbusiness.co.uk http://www.geocities.com/tantra_apso/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 09:39:27 +0100 From: catman Subject: I am pissed offNJC Okay, while he isn't looking, I thought I'd tell you what he is really like!

It isn't Lama, you just misunderstood. There is nothing wrong with giddy. It was the word bimbo I took issue with because when used to describe a woman, it is disparaging & offensive (even my dictionary tells me so). However I have now learned it also means something different if you are Italian. ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics www.polysonics.com Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 08:01:14 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: RE: dazed and confused NJC colin!!!!! this is so funny!!! martha is my favorite so far!!!! wallyK - -----Mensaje original----- De: owner-joni@jmdl.com [mailto:owner-joni@jmdl.com]En nombre de catman Enviado el: Martes, 27 de Marzo de 2001 05:51 a.m. Para: joni Asunto: dazed and confused NJC This is a mad house.

It bimbo baby] (1919) slang 1 : man, woman  usu. used disparagingly and esp. of an attractive but empty-headed person 2 : tramp 1c (C)1997, 1996 Zane Publishing, Inc.

It's not as disparaging as its american counterpart seems to be, and is equally applicable to (gay and satraight) men and women. In its past here, it does seem to have been applied to women more than men, but that seems to be changing, and as such, it seems to have largely lost its sexist status. I don't think *any* of the women I know take the slightest offence to the term.

After the past few days of posts it was really needed! I've only been on the list for a few months and up until the past couple of days it has been a real uplifting place for a mother of a 9month old to retreat to. Im sooo sorry for everyone's feelings being hurt. i know a newbie cant understand the intensity of these relationships, but i do know the reason we were all brought here. i had a friend this past week who lost everything in a fire. she and i were talking about how we all should have to go back to the basics sometime to appreciate what we have. this point seems true here, too. another point that i must make comes from something i learned in college in a social work class...when your driving in your car, for instance, and a driver cuts you off and keeps going. you, of course, get pissed off. you curse, maybe? you give the finger, raise your blood pressure etc. but, the other driver doesn't see all this and goes on with his day, feeling fine. you on the other hand have let that person, who doesn't even know, affect you in a negative way. and whose to say how long it will stay with you? as a lister this is the approach i have chosen to take. the person writing the post does not know how it is always taken, therefore, am i wrong in saying that its how we respond or if we even respond at all. there are many times i haven't responded to things that have raised an eyebrow or two. and many times I've laughed and cried, but haven't written a post about it either. i really have enjoyed yalls post and all the knowledge, friendships, and compassion is truly amazing. Im anxious for it to return. mother of a 9mon old who wont sleep through the night, Kammy Ohh, and what started this post, Colin a few weeks ago you posted something like these today and I was sooooo confused. Thanks for clarifying today. Now after reading them twice I understand. Hope mine and your households settle down!

Can anyone > imagine using it affectionately to address a woman or describe her when she's > actually present? I can't. I can. It has a lot to do with the usage of the word in this country, and perhaps in my generation also. I can think of three or four women I could call a bimbo affectionately and not cause any offense at all. Similarly terms like "tart", "floosie", "hussy", "whore, "slag", "slut" and so on. Does this make me a bad person? These are all people I have a very strong friendship with. However, all of these terms get thrown about between gay people who don't know each other well, with no offence at all, and a great deal of good humour. At least in the world I inhabit. I don't *think* that my world is insular or unusual. I do suspect strongly that geographic region affects the "perciveed" meaning of these terms, as do the ages of the participants in the conversation, as does the culture in which they're used. We are a multicultural, multi-age list. Sure, causing offense by being nasty cannot be condoned, but nor should people be hounded for using a term that, to them, does not appear to be offensive, and where they don't realise it will cause others offense. I also am sceptical of a dictionary's ability to keep up with the context in which words are used, and the meaning they have. How can a dictionary possibly hope to encompass all the contexts in which words are used in this fast changing and multi-cultural world? The words may be english, but the meaning...?

Mere days before i signed off jmdl Kakki mentioned the effect FTR had had on her ( i believe it was in relation to the extra songs Joni performed on the BSN tour). on the strength of her words i decided to give the album another chance to let me love it, so i put it in my bag. Joni's 1972 masterpiece sat in my bag for six weeks. one sunny morning i really really wanted to hear CBS&SF, so i broke out the old album. it just so happened that this was the day i was due to have my photograph taken by a local newspaper that had previoiusly interviewed me (ultimately my picture wasn't used in the article, but it was great fun to be in my house posing with a Toni Morrison book as an ever so slightly eccentric photographer climbed on the backs of chairs to get the right angle, and me worrying that his dog would do a little *too* much snooping). See You Sometime was just starting (for the fifth time) when the photographer said something to the effect of "forgive my ignorance, but is this Joni Mitchell?". well, you can imgaine my raised eyebrows!! he asked if it was the new album, so i explained my love for Joni and my wish to love this album. while explaining this to the gentleman i realised that it was the words of Kakki i was almost echoing. later i was surprised to note that the album played in my head all the time. my grandfather died that august; i never returned to Ireland for the funeral. it was a difficult time for me, and i know that i made it hard for those around me. and all the time the album played in my head. i don't need to attempt an explanation i guess, but the album really did give me comfort. from mid august until whenever KidA was released Eva Cassidys Time After Time album and For the Roses were virtually exclusive sounds coming from my cd player. at the moment, Judgement of the moon and stars is my "favourite" Joni track. thank you for that Kakki. Kakki must know that she has had an effect on a lot of poeple on this list. my small example is just one of many that could be told, and even that is something that her mere *everyday conversation* influenced, let alone her more thought out, reasonable, and eloquent discussions. Kakki will be sorely missed by 'most everyone, even those she may never have realised that she affected. it has been expressed in better words than i could spin, so i'll just add a big fat "me too" to the wish that your departure will be temporary Kakki, or that maybe you'll be waiting in the wings, waiting... because everyone hates to have less than what they had before.

This week my songs and an interview with me will be broadcast on the program THIS WAY OUT which is featured on 125 public radio programs, so thanks for helping me get some recognition! Last night I had a new dream: I was dating this fading, alcoholic rock star who looked incredibly like Kris Kristofferson. He was scheduled to perform at the White Party in Palm Springs after Deborah Cox had to cancel. He knew it was the wrong venue for him, but went on stage with his band anyway. The crowd, drugged on X and restless to dance, had no idea what he was doing there and started to boo as he played "Watch Closely Now." I felt sad for him as I looked on from the wings. Suddenly, my boyfriend stopped playing. As the crowd chanted for Deborah, "Kris" took me by the arm and dragged me out to the microphone. I didn't want to go on stage -- I wasn't wearing white, felt about ten pounds overweight, and recently I had gotten a new hairdo from a guy named Jon Peters in Beverly Hills that I didn't like (it was kind of an afro/perm which made me look like Harpo Marx). Regardless, I strapped on my guitar, tried not to cry, and started singing "Boys on the Sand". The crowd quieted and my singing grew more confident. I turned around to see my background singers, The Three Tenors, were sidling in behind me. Soon, I was rocking, and so was the house. I went into another song, SHINE, with a dance beat, and Joni Mitchell joined me for a duet. Afterwards, I was swept off stage to a press conference. Immediately afterward, I was given an 8 record deal and signed with Tommy Mottola to manage me. Well, the above dream seems less likely to happen, but you can help me get back on top just one more time by voting for SALT WATER as the number one CD and BOYS ON THE SAND as the number one track at www.outvoice.com.
