What a great time seeing Don Yeo and Valerie. Jim hosted a reunion dinner at his house and the next day we all went out to eat Italian. They visited our Farmer's Market and the harbor and shared stories and gifts of home-made jalapeno and other jams. We are all such characters. We are all like "family". There were a lot of hugs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEODORE PILGER, BETTER KNOWN AS TED PILGER--
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY--WE LOVE YOU--





From:     Mij     3/2/2010     4:14 P.M.

Hello fellow strangers in a strange land! I've been away from here for
awhile and now it's time to be graced with my....whatever it is i'm
gracing you with!

We just got "high-speed internet" earlier today and i'm completely
amazed and almost overwhelmed! For instance, before it took about
ten minutes just to log on to this wonderful site..serious! It's one of
the reasons i've been giving everyone a break from my rapier-type wit
and all around awesome vocabulistic rantings!..that, and ever since MB
has exited the building i've been in a post-presidential writing coma due to
the major drop-off of comedic fodder which his absence has left the world
in...no offense against Obama, he's just to intelligent and well spoken for
sarcastically sadistic minds such as myself....oh well, i'll have plenty of
awesome fodder when Sarah Palin becomes president!

So, that earthquake was something huh? i was just looking at a few of the
facts relating to the power of it, and it's amazing to say the least! One
of the things i read was that this quake was 500 times stronger than the
Haitian quake! And, it was so powerful it actually moved the earth off
it's axis a few hundreths of a degree and has shortened the days by a
second or two! Also, it turns out that there were localized tsunami's of
immense proportions, up to 50 ft high! Small towns were literally almost
washed away from the mammoth waves...
Now the "experts" are saying that the next one of this magnitude would
more than likely occur off the Oregon coast in the "Cascadia subduction",
a large fault that is long overdue to have a major slip. Of course, it could
be tomorrow, or it could be in 500 yrs!...

Well, i'm off to eat dinner, i hope everyone is doing well and i'll try to
check back more often for your reading un-enjoyment!..

Until then,

Adieu.

Peace.










From:     Ted     3/3/2010     10:10 A.M.

Hey...fantastic, mij. You and Rita finally got high speed! Happy surfing!




From:     Mij     3/4/2010     4:02 P.M.

Oh my god, two messages in less than a week!....has the world gone
completely mad?!!...

Well, yes it has actually, but my two messages are not exactly the most
glaring example as to tangible proof of a world gone sananab!...oops,
i mean bananas!..
There's nothing really new or having just happened to make me point
out the state of the world, i was just browsing around on our new
"high speed" connection and thought i'd point out the obvious on my way
through!...


Your welcome.


So, this is weird having shit download faster than MB can butcher the
English language! Well, it's not quite that fast! But wow, it's definately
faster than that oh so annoying and headache inducing dial-up we've been
putting up with for what seems like the past 20 yrs! What's weird, is when
we first got dial-up we thought it was the best thing since the flush toilet
was invented back in the late 70's!

Speaking of turds! I saw Sarah Plain on the news this morning!...


That's it, saw her on the news and she made me think of a turd.


Moving not along....it's been a rather strange winter in these parts...much
warmer than normal and much dryer than normal. ( i know, me talking
about anything normal is like....not normal! )
Anyway, it's looking like it could be a long, hot dry summer...but on the
other side of the coin it looks like you've been getting a good winter down
around your neck of the woods Ted...which is good because your in the
same boat we are, probably even worse. The weather "pundits" are saying
you guys are actually above normal this winter which should help
immensly with your drought situation..although they also said it will
take a few of these kinds of winters to make up the deficit..but take what
you can while you can get it....

So much for the useless weather facts portion of our program.

Well, i see i've taken up enough valuable space! I'll say adieu for now and
hope everyone has a nice weekend..

Until next time..

Mij.

Peace.

Ps. Did you notice i still managed to get in a stab against MB?.....i still
got it!

Later.









From:     Rita     3/5/2010     3:49 P.M.

Hi Everyone--Yes Ted, high speed sure is great--I click
on something, lay back to wait for posting, but its been
posted for two minutes--
I don't have a camera anymore--I was using Sue's, but she
took it back and won't let me reborrow it--I sure miss my digital--
So if you say its okay, I will send my puppy pictures to you Ted--
They are developed--so maybe you will post a few on the chatline--
I repeat, she is such a sweetheart--

Peace, love





From:     Ted     webmaster@sunnyridge.net     3/14/2010     6:01 P.M.

Hi Everyone
Well, Ellen Sue and I have to leave Santa Barbara. Just can't afford it. Looks like we will be neighbors with our son, Jamal, in Colorado.

Our budget is extremely tight.

JUST LETTING EVERYONE KNOW THAT I MAY HAVE TO CANCEL SUNNYRIDGE.NET AND PUT AS MUCH STUFF AS I CAN ON FACEBOOK.

What a long strange trip it's been...






From:     stan     3/15/2010     9:29 A.M.

Big changes... so do you still have winter coats? How about golashes?
I was forced out of the states in 2001 because I was too weird to get a job, but couldn't possibly afford to live there now as a low-pension geezer anyway.
No Sunnyridge.net? How will I show my Cambo friends the big-bearded picture of me with my special herbs? They can hardly believe it.
Life goes on and often external pressure for change takes us to good places we'd never go if not forced by circumstances.
Anyway good luck Bro.





From:     Mij     3/15/2010     6:56 A.M.

Wow....it's like losing a family member Ted. I know i haven't been
as prolific as i use to be writing my weird and annoying messages
on here..it's strange, you always think you'll have time tomorrow, you
know? Well i just want to say that this site was, and is, an awesome outlet
for what is probably seen as a rather strange and warped mind by many,
and i was just looking through some of the archives and was amazed at
all the many hours of enjoyment i had writing what was hopefully at the
very least entertaining, but sometimes a bit verbose, rantings and diatribes.
i'll miss this site very much Ted, and i wish you and Sue Ellen nothing
but the very best in all your endevours...

Is there a way to save all the messages, pics, and other cool things that
have been such a big part of our lives these past...wow, 12 years! You
have mentioned Facebook, of which i am not a participant, but what about
maybe putting everything on a CD or Disc? i'm saddened to think i'll never
be able to go back and look at all the zany, fun, serious, sometimes
sad, but always entertaing pages of what has been an almost
encyclepedic memoir of all of our past lives and how we were and what
we've become. I consider this to be a true retrospective of what we were,
what we became, and what we are now.....i'm just going to miss this awesome site Ted...sigh....

Stan's right of course, change can be as beneficial as it is painful
sometimes. I'm saddened at the fact that this is an end to an era really...
we've been able to use this unique site as a sort of tangible proof of
who we were, and the amazing lifestyle that was chosen by an entire
generation of young people who opted for something totally different from
what at the time was considered the norm for social protocal. Many factors
attributed to this mass migration of change, music of course being one of
the most powerful sources, but also it stemmed i think from the fact that
life is a circle of events and we change and adapt to the current
phase of this wonderous cycle of life. Which brings us once again full
circle to another page, another story, another chapter...

My mom of course will also miss this site dearly...it's been a great source of
keeping up on each other's lives and she's already talking about getting on
"facebook"...have to see how it goes, she'd probably have a great time on
there. i myself will just remember all the great avenues of discussion we
had on here! Just a guess, but i'm thinking MB won't be missing it all that
much! ( Hey! i got one last MB dig in! ) of course, you have to be able to
actually read first, which leaves him out!...it was pretty amazing really
when you look back at that time period and all the input and discussion
which was expressed by all the many fellow ex-hippie compatriots...and
although there were major differences sometimes in how each of us looked
at things, it was always done with tact and a pension for courtesy...
( Ok! not always, but most of the time! )

Overall, you constructed one hell of a cool site Ted, and i'll miss it very
much....a heartfelt thanks to you.

I hope you and Sue Ellen find that next phase, and we all wish you both
nothing but the very best in everything you do....

Thanks again,

Mij


Peace.

financial statement and pay with PayPal
Thanks mij and Stan

Here's a bit of the predicament. Like I said, our budget is extremely tight but the future does looks bright. (gotta wear shades)

In April the hosting.com quarterly billing is $44.85.

If we get some donations that will cover that, I have no problem letting it bill as usual. If not, we are just getting further in the hole...really.

You can see the financial schedule and donate using PayPal by clicking the link above.
Or you can send a check to our address (it will get forwarded if we have moved already)

Later!





From:     Mij     3/16/2010     4:14 P.M.

Ted, we'll gladly pay the $44.85, it should be taken care of later this
evening, and thanks for still keeping keeping on.....( sounds like
lyrics to a song! )

Spring has sprung around here! After a relatively mild uneventful winter
with below average rainfall alot of things like the Forsythia etc are saying
Yeah!...Thursday and Friday highs around here in the 70's! But it was just
on Friday that we were getting pounded with snow! ( got a few inches here
and almost a foot over Oregon Mountain ) that crazy spring weather!..

The El Nino, which is responsible for our below average rainfall and
California's above average rainfall, is suppose to last awhile still, which
means we could have a warm dry spring here...it's also the reason why
the Eastern half of the country has been getting a winter for the record
books! Some places have had 8 times their normal snowfall and of course
now torrential rains are causing bad flooding. Now, is this just a part of
a timeless cycle that has nothing to do with man's presence upon this
earth, or is it just a sign of things to come as our climate and world
go through a long predicted catacalysmic cycle of violent unpredictable
weather and massive earthen upheaval? Or, the even bigger question,
does anyone care!
Anyway, i personally have long been a weather geek and have read and
studied weather patterns, etc., and it's really hard not to be convinced
that things are changing very rapidly and it all coincides with the
industrialization of our planet....


or not.


i wonder whether it's the weather, or whether the weather would be
weather whether or not we weatherman would wonder why weather
is changing....

Huh?

Later!


Peace.
