My Ringtone - What's yours?

-

My phone rings thus

This is my ring tone. Not sure what it reveals about me. This song touches my soul as deeply as the sound of the pipes.
What is your ring tone and why did you choose it?

Your ring tone reveals that you like old rock music, especially guitars. Possibly you were into psychedelics, maybe you smoked... maybe you didn't. haha! Possibly.. very possibly, you are into Woodstock. Maybe you drove a '69 VW Beetle. You're a liberal.

How close am I?

My ring tone is a generic free ringtone that came with my phone. I only rarely use it, as it's a prepaid cell phone. $15 every three months is all it takes to keep the service. Virgin Mobile.

I don't own a cell phone, so I don't have a ring tone. My land line simply rings. ; )

Kathy!!!! LOFL!!! I love it.
Sophia - There are no boxes that can hold me!!! Ha-ha. I think that (oh-oh opinion here) anyone that is stuck in one genre of music is,..I won't say it. Music is alive. Ever evolving. I am partial to many kinds of music. Folk - rock - progressive alternative, BLUES!!!, some Jazz, Celtic (pipes & fiddles-Oh my!)
I did some psychedelics, smoked a wide variety of pot,(I no longer do) and I still drive a 73 VW - The "Little Hottie". I am a social liberal, a fiscal conservative, and I have a deep sense of anarchist, libertarian and constitutionalist.
Rambling one, my youngest pays for my phone as an add on to hers. It keeps us one call away from each other. I like that. I also have a land line that we never answer. We have a generic answering machine that we call "Jeeves." He screens all calls.

Voodoo Child is great!

I like making tones for each of my contacts...I use myxer.com. When my husband calls it's Bob Dylan singing "I Want You" and my artist friend gets "She belongs to me" --(She's an artist, she don't look back...); my mechanic, who calls me more than I call him, gets Rolling Stones' "Start Me Up." My son, who lives in Portalnd, Ore., is linked to John Fahey's "Portland Cement Factory." I'm thinking of making "Maggie's Farm" my incoming office ringtone!

Yes...keep a landline! With a real old fashioned dial phone that doesn't need to charge. Don't want any single point communication failures.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as...

We're all Gods witha capital "G", eh?

The multiplicity of available forums such as blogger, wordpress, my space and etc...allow us the ability to share something of our experience. And I like that:>) On some subjects we will agree while on others we may see things differently. And that's okay. So, here I go again... I recently read a brilliant and well written post on a Buddhist blog that mapped out the reasons why it is that Buddhists do not believe in a supreme being and that the concept of a creator God is antithetical to Buddhist thought. The post also cites that the Buddha listed belief in a supreme creator as one of the wrong views in the Brahmajala Sutta, Digha 1. This neatly packaged "Buddhist belief" feels like too big a piece of gristle in my mouth. Chewing it creates a rather fatty taste in my mouth and to spit it out feels rude. I have come to a place where I am sensitive or aware of beliefs, labels and such. At several points in my life I could say that I am a Christian, a Taoist, a Buddhist, ...

Loneliness is such a....drag

"Spiritual friendship, association with wise and noble friends, and wise and noble deeds are the whole of the holy life." the Buddha I, ve been watching some of the recurrent thoughts that arise to chastise me and one of the little buggers is the thought and the subsequent feelings of loneliness. When I was studying and reaching for a life as a Christian pastor, I felt a like-mind with several brothers and sisters that I had met along the way. Sometimes it seemed easy to extend grace toward one another. It was a time of embracing. There was value in " not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together." This friendship has not been duplicated since. I bear some responsibility for this. The level of fundamentalist Christian teaching that I withstood, questioned, and then left behind, left me lacking in trust of an organized anything: (see previous post) I have since relied on some of the friendships that developed through blogger to replace that which was not pres...
