Who left the dimensional door open?

Ishi was sent to San Francisco to live in the Museum of National History as a living exhibit of primitive man.

Incidentally, he claimed to be the only one who could speak his tongue, which had only maybe 100 to 400 words, but it was about 30% Hebrew, including of course the term Ishi itself, which he said just meant "a man" as opposed to "a woman," a fish, a bird, etc.

This too is Hebrew.

Hi Judy
I always wanted to be a hillbilly
you are sweet to make me an honorary hillbilly
During my kid days in Manhattan I took books out of the library where girls had that life
and I would live it vicariously
even tho my hubby met me in lower Manhattan and lived with me there till we moved to Tucson
he said from the first minute he was with me he recognized I was a hillbilly
lol I have a perceptive hubby
Love, Palo

hi crystalk
your post takes my beath away
is it true Ishi's language is partially Hebrew
that was not mentioned in the book
you are blowing my mind
Love, Palo

[palo verde]

Love, Palo

Yes, we go barefoot, pick blackberries in the rain (and eat half of them) put honeysuckle blossoms in our hair, and ride big slow horses bareback in chilly weather...we cuddle under old quilts and tell scary stories by kerosene lantern...we look at the stars and when they do odd things like move at sharp angles, we write it down in locked diaries and hide them under our beds...

[Judith Anne]

I have several--do you mean the navy Chanel that I wore with mother's pearl strand and my lovely three-carat solitaire?

P.S. I still do hillbilly stuff! Haha! I'm letting my hair grow, five more inches and it will hit my waist...I got a spiral perm for it...you should see me now! Please tell me you look the same as I imagine you...are you still wearing those wonderful 4" heels?

Hi Judy

his mom had to go to the Indian camp to get him back
his brother claimed they swiped him
but really it was cause he wanted to be an Indian

That is interesting that Ishis native tongue, was comprised of some Jewish....I do know that often the names we assign to Native American tribes, are not usually the names they themselves use to refer to themselves....usually its the name that the tribe itself uses to mean 'people'...often the words we use to denote a 'particular name' of a person within a tribe or the tribe itself, is really more of a generic term that the people themselves use....its all about context, and perception of how different peoples use different words...very interesting...

A flying football with an attitude!?!

The NFL should try to capture it and then replace a normal football with it on the grid iron! I'd pay TWICE what I do now to attend a football game played with a bulldog headed football that can fly and talk!

I mean, who would WANT to pick it up if it were fumbled? Or heck! Would they even be able to catch it!?

Think of the new twists and turns the game of Football would take? Too bad the XFL didn't get to it first! ;-)

Good afternoon Palo...how are you doing? Did you read the article I pinged you to last night, concerning Harold Russell? It was interesting and thought you might like it..

Hi there GrannyK...I am the former 'andysmom' from the old days at Lucianne...glad to see you here..

Hi Judy
lol I forgot you had 3 designer suits
yes I remember your Chanel suit
you are the most elegantly dressed woman I know
yes I am the same
I wear sun dresses, go barefoot
and still have my pretty high heel black patent leather dancing shoes
I bought them when you and I joined Lcom together
to kick up my heels in celebration when we got the big creep out of power
(lol I guess they worked like a charm)
Love, Palo

Hiya, Andy's Mom...I knew you from your name...I put two and two together....yes...SO good to be here with everyone of us from those days...are things well with you? FR is like a different dimension, without the gray monster....

[Judith Anne]

Ah, yes, the sun dresses...I have a couple myself...My favorite suit right now is by Evan-Picone, it is GORGEOUS! BTW you can get them at huge discounts at Dillard's if you can stand to wait several weeks...

I was so happy to see the big creep fall into irrelevancy...look at his legacy now...you are so correct to dance in celebration every day...the very sun is brighter.

hi crys and lynn
I did read some of the Book of Mormon
they claim one at least of the Lost Tribes of Israel came over to North America
they were located where upstate NY is now
and I believe it
I have no idea how Ishi's tribe's language got to be 30% Hebrew
Altho when I read Geronomo's autobiography -- I remember feeling a ''Jewish connection''
I loved Geronomo and identified with much of what he said
my favorite part was about dialing up God and talking to him on the telephone (metaphorically)
Love, Palo

you have the elegant figure to wear the elegant suit
I am a lil zaftig
plus it makes me feel carefree to dress as a kid
pinafores were my fav as a lil girl
now I like pretty sundresses
yes ''Tammy and the Bachelor'' was my favorite movie when I was 11
you prolly liked ''Pillowtalk'' and deamed of wearing a yellow bathrobe in a highrise in Manhattan lol
Love, Palo

hi lynn
thanks for pinging me to that article
I did read in ''A Course in Miracles'' if I picture everyone as completely whole healthy young perfect
it helps to heal them
so I try to always keep those images in my mind for everyone
Love, Palo

What was the Rock Hudson-Doris Day movie when she was an interior designer, and Tony was the rich client, and he pretended to be a Texan so he could date her, and he was really a rascally song writer, and he got stuck in her little car? That was my favorite...I'm having a senior moment, I think (far too soon, of course...;-D)

Sounds like the old bag that fell over up in Rochester

[andysandmikesmom]

That is a grand way to picture people...if we could past our own prejudices when we meet people, and see them for who they are inside, much grief could be avoided...I think that trying to picture the elderly as being young, is especially nice...having worked for so long in nursing homes, and seeking how so often the elderly are judged only on their outward appearance of being old, grey, wrinkled, and then to be overlooked by others because of that, well, it would be nice for us all to remember, that inside that old body, exists someone who was once young, strong, pretty or handsome, and they would wish for us to remember and see that...
