    • Karen in Hawaii : It is quieter here than I remember being the norm. I hope every, single one of you Whipples are fine, and just busy.
    • MF : Merry Christmas Whipples!
    • Art : ditto :D
    • Sandra : to everybody in whippleworld, have a blessed holiday season! I want you to know how much our family has enjoyed your blog this past year!!
    • Jimmie : Thanks, Malcolm!
    • Cara : Happy Turkey Day! :D
    • Malcolm : Happy Thanksgiving, Whippleworld! :D
    • Karen in Hawaii : of course I thought of y'all, so told her to ask around about you two, in case y'all are there. I'm not, but it would trip my trigger in the best of ways if y'all met. Hope you're having a fine weekend, oh, and it's Saturday that I'm posting this. Aloha huggz, TEXAS style.
    • Karen in Hawaii : Hey there, Jimmie and John! I just got off of the phone with my sister that lives in Seguin, Diana. She's on her way this evening to some place in New Braunfels with a very, dear friend of hers, John. He's singing with some group there, tonight. Well....
    • John : white rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits. These months are flying by.
    • John : From Pam: "A man said to the universe: 'Sir, I exist!' 'However,' replied the universe, 'That fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.'" – Stephen Crane
    • Keiko : here in Japan this is a whipple «link»
    • Keiko : here in Japan this is whipple
    • John : yes, we will most likely be going to Terlingua in two weeks. And that image isn't ours but I'm sure it's free to use. We really appreciate you guys coming to the blog. Can't tell by comments because people slowed way down on commenting years ago but... actual traffic has been up almost double this month.
    • John : white rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits. Happy first day of the month.
    • Nicole : John, are you coming to Big Bend? I'm in Uvalde! Honk on your way through.
    • Sandra : I'll see you Whipples in Terlingua :cool:
    • Sandra : Thank God for this rain in the Texas Hill Country! :lol:
    • Adam : just visiting from FaceBook, cool blog. Can I use the psyco-kinesis image?
    • Jimmie : thankee, gavee! :-)
    • gavee : Nice blog
    • John : .... and it was 65 degrees when we woke up this morning. We were waking up to 90 last month. I think the heat has waved out. What a crazy hot summer, glad it's almost over.
    • John : we got some really great rain here, everything is greening up. :mrgreen:
    • Tina : It's already brown so fall won't have that work to do. Just bring us some rain.
    • John : it was 100 yesterday but something in the air feels like summer is starting to fade into fall. I think it'll be a beautiful fall.
    • John : you'll have to use something along the lines of whatever you've been using for Pearl Harbor Day. 8-O
    • Steve : certainly can't say "Happy 9/11". What do we say? Have a reflective 9/11 :?:
    • Steve : good one
    • Sylvia : I don't think you have read enough Marilyn Monroe quotes lately. «link» Stuff like "Hollywood pays $1,000 for a kiss but only 50 cents for your soul". I don't she was as blonde as she looked.
    • Tina : it's contained now
    • John : 1,400 homes burned down in Bastrop. What a tragedy. And the fire is still out of control. :-(
    • John : we're back from another nice trip to the Kerrville Music Festival. You guys should come up one year. Not so much to see the concert but to experience the campground song circles that go all night. It's like day after day after day of The Woodzie. Just incredible.
    • Jimmie : Thanks Karen, I miss her.
    • Guest_2205 : Oh sorry, Karen in Hawaii, dingbat with a computer.
    • Guest_2205 : Jimmie, I really enjoyed reading about your sister, Dallas, that you just said goodbye to. God bless each of you and sincere hugs.
    • John : I would love to know the answer to that. I think maybe it's both that they start off kinda brown instead of true black and off white instead of white paper and then they fade from there.
    • Jackie : yes, very cool
    • Rachel : i love the old 1800's sepia photos. Were those black and white and they just age to yellow? Our family doesn't have any photos that old but we should still do this. Thanks for being a good example!! :lol:
    • John : for the life of me I can't figure out how it is we know so many people who have connections to Hawaii. Half my friends have lived there, all I get to see are the pictures. :-(
    • Justin Conners : like your friend Karen, I look in from Hawaii sometimes. Never been but I love Texas.
    • Jackie : Doesn't look like a slow 8 years :D
    • Aaron : a girl here in the office found your site from a link on Facebook and we're all looking at it. It's Sat. and slow. You must have a pretty big family. Unusual site. Has this family really been doing this everyday since 2003?
    • John : it's like an oven outside :oops:
    • John : I dunno. I think I need a new booking agent.
    • Steve : John, when are you guys playing next?
    • John : hey... we resemble that remark :oops:
    • Art : you obviously know the Whipples :razz:
    • Karen : i thought you guys would like this.... "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. " -Marilyn Monroe
    • John : but getting back to the subject... anybody need a hotel reservation in Peking?
    • John : I always try to share info on what happens to keep the blog running so you'll know when you run your own. We all benefit from a great WordPress spam filter that works in the background. Deirdre and several others will go in there and delete what sneaks through. In the years we've had the blog, over two million spam attempts have been made. It's caught almost all of them, it's like how almost 100% of meteorites burn up before they hit us. 8-O
    • John : after getting back from our camping trip I found several calls and emails about this Chinese comment. Mike's right, it's just like getting a postcard from a travel agency. Junk mail. It's not surprising there's so much of it because it used to at least cost them a stamp to send an ad. In the digital world it's free. For them. For us, we have to take some time everyday to delete them. :evil:
    • Tina : was this the last American spaceship? 360 degree photo of the cockpit of Discovery as it is going through the process of being decommissioned. :-( «link»
    • MF : case, it's chinease.. sad face....it is only spam...no secret meaning to life..it translates to:Wow, great network of 114 reservations, hotel reservations, hotel reservation, hotel reservation, hotel reservations, hotel booking network, Hotel Reservation, Hotel Reservation, will be hotels, online booking, Hotel Reservation, booking, hotel check , hotel prices, hotel prices, hotel, accommodation, hotel address, hotel phone, hotel, 114 hotel Reservation, Beijing hotels, Shanghai hotels, Hangzhou
    • Casey : :cool: Quick someone translate -- Beau? this could contain the meaning of life or just be an ad for a call girl. :?:

    • John : They got 1,100 people. That's a bunch. I've heard they're doing it with some of the bigger Americana artists, too.
    • Steve : K-Mart Kruizes
    • Terri : I see they're selling the reservations $100 down and a $100 a month. It's LAYAWAY! They know how to sell to us old school Hispanics! :D
    • John : It would be doable. These guys are doing it with bands like my buddies The Despoz and they're selling out. «link» I'd like to go but I don't think I'd want to be in charge of one. :roll:
    • Art : it's trickled down to Tejano even. I say if the future of Rock music is cruise ships gigs then... it could be worse. John you should organize an annual cruise with the Tejano artists thing. Where do we sign up? «link» :razz:
    • John : Things are surprisingly good on old Whippleworld. We're fighting the spam off as best we can. We went through six months there where it was particularly relentless. But it's gone in waves like that for seven or eight years now. Waves are just getting bigger when they come. 8-O
    • John : some people are hip to it and some aren't but you can email posts and photographs onto Whippleworld. You have to register so that it knows your email is legit. Let me know if you need help figuring it out.
    • John : I don't know. We're going to our niece's house warming tonight. Glenn has stopped doing the Sunday night deal at Riley's. That was a long run. There's the thing at The Phoenix downtown on Sunday afternoons. Next weekend there's good music; we're going to The Frio Music Festival. «link»
    • Jackie : What music is happening this weekend :?:
    • Joe : came from Facebook, your site looks great!!
    • Jimmie : Excellent article. and so easy to read on my iPad! :-)
    • John : I read that, very cool. My favorite comment was "I find it difficult to fully engage any text unless I have the option of throwing it across the room".
    • Tish : here's two topics it sounds like WhippleWorlds is into, digital vs old school media and.... iPads. "Books In The Age Of The iPad" «link»
    • John : Evan... hurry up, we want to see a post of pictures from your trip!
    • John : Yeah, Ted... I'll call GoDaddy and have them put us on one of their new Alvin 3000 Chipmunk boxes. ;)
    • John : What a crazy heat wave. I can't wait until we have some rain. :oops:
    • Ted : I understand. It's really hard to get fast hamsters these days. Try Chipmunks fed with Mountain Dew and Twinkies. They run at a steady 3 gigahertz. :idea:
    • John : The random header thing broke in 2009. Now we have a hamster inside our old server who changes them by hand. Very slow. :oops:
    • Terri : I like the birds 8-O
    • Ted : Are the beautiful headers changing but in really, really, really, really slow motion? :lol:
    • John : Evan's been checking in every day or so from The Big Easy. Sounds like he's having a dandy time. He took my fancy camera to share some photos on the blog here so... we're waitin'.
    • John : as Uncle Raymond liked to say on July mornings like this... "don't need your coat today!". :roll:
    • Steve : I'm going to walk down W. Commerce and climb to the top of a Raspa. «link» :cool:
    • Art : it's too hot. I think I'll go to Zanzibar and climb up here «link»
    • John : we played and got a lot of compliments and that's nice. It felt good to play, we hadn't in quite a while.
    • John : My cousin Charlie and his wife Susan came, it was fun. It actually wasn't that hot believe it or not because of the breeze. It got up to being windy for while. But all in all it was just right. Beautiful place.
    • Sylvia : we saw you mention it, we thought about going but it's just too hot. did you have a good time?
    • John : OK... pretty soon here Jimmie and I will be heading up to Fischer Store for our musical play date with our friends Pam and Rusty: «link» We'll be camping overnight and back tomorrow. :cool:
    • Jackie : you whipples will like this Jeep «link»
    • Sylvia : two ends of the political and lifestyle spectrum - Stevie Nicks and Betty Ford. «link»
    • John : Thank you Karen. Hope you and your family are enjoying Hawaii. We'll trade houses with you for vacations. Seriously.. HEY... who wants to come camp in Fischer this weekend? «link»
    • Karen in Hawaii : And...drumroll.. .MOST of all...you LIVE in TEXAS!! Count your blessings and hug each other a lot. Homesick, native Texan, over and out, lol.
    • Karen in Hawaii : Someone's getting married, someone in your family's moving to CC, pups I didn't know you had are looking grown, and you're building a studio!!
    • Karen in Hawaii : Wow, y'all are living large! I should not just peek but stop and really read this place even more than I do...such great news!
    • Casey : I was kidding. Man though they say San Antonio is lame - Corpus is like San Antonio compared to Austin - even lamer! but they will have eachother :oops: I just don't want Even to leave. No one is allowed to move further than a 60 mile radius.
    • John : I just hope Evan spends two years in Corpus and learns to fish. Erica will be studying to be a marine biologist and she's going to love the water and the wildlife down there.
    • John : I didn't want to make it sound like we've got $80,000 to send Evan anywhere. Right now he's planning for community college. Probably in Corpus to be near Erica (who made perfect grades in HS and gets to go right into A&M). Like you advised with Taylor, we saved a ton of money compared to your first two years with him going to SAC. And he loved it, it was just what he needed.
    • John : We're going have you a very nice wedding, baby. :)
    • Casey : and to be fair buy Taylor some magic cards :cool:
    • Casey : If Evan is getting an $80k college education for something like film then I want a 20k wedding. :lol:
    • John : Looks like we're not going to be able to drive to see Renee and then onto California this summer after all. It's the boys; Evan's going to New Orleans with Matt and Taylor's job hunting and trying to get organized to start Texas State. Well, there's always next summer for that. This summer we're going to pick a little closer vacation for maybe four days. We can get on each others nerves and easily make it feel like two weeks.
    • John : An audio engineer who worked for me went to Full Sail and it was wonderful for him. I think he may have recouped his tuition from that first job so I guess I've paid for one already. «link»
    • Guest_4120 : Knowing Evan, he has it planned out! He's a visionary person. $80,000 is hard for me to vision when $8.00 is hard to have sometimes. But I have read and heard that some colleges, depending on the education cost $200.000 now! Unbelievable. Good luck Evan!
    • John : Evan says "Dad, one thing I might do is go to Full Sail in Miami and study film making, it's $80,000... but that's not bad for what you get". Really? :-?
    • Jimmie : But free. Our third child will start college in about a year, and John and I, who've managed just fine without all that nonsense, get to pay for it. Our kids are "first generation" graduates. Cracks me up.
    • John : I found some lectures I really enjoyed in your list. Most of those don't show up on the TED Talks page so I don't know how you got that many. Watch one a day and it's like going to college. 8-O
    • Sal : Thanks for posting the TED video. I had put up a list of direct links to TED talks last year, here's a much improved and updated one: «link»
    • John : no, I thought about it and we'd rather not. Thanks anyway.
    • GirlinBra : Hack again?!
    • John : No thanks!
    • GirlinBra : Hack again?!
    • John : Leaving for the last week of the folk festival. Back on Monday.
    • Guest_4120 : Your cousin Terry sells RV's near Dallas
    • John : Jimmie wants an RV with a massive air conditioner for next year. If anybody sees a good deal on one let us know. 8-O
    • Melissa : maybe we'll see you out there this weekend. it'll be hot as the :evil:
    • John : Thanks! Just got back from the Folk Festival yesterday, trying to get back to normal. But.... we're leaving tomorrow to go back so what's the use? It will all be over Sunday and THEN we can rejoin the real world. ;)
    • Joe : Enjoyed hearing The Whipples @ Kerrville. You guys are great. Watch out, you're Kerrverts now. :lol:
    • John : OK, heading out to Kerrville for another four or five days of guitar playing. This last time our cell phones DID work out there. It's spotty though so I may have to get your message and call you back. Drive out there and spend a day if you can, you'd love it!
    • John : it's the 1st. As Edna Webb would say, white rabbits white rabbits white rabbits... good luck.
    • John : We spent four days camping on the Ranch where they hold the Folk Festival. Had to soak in the tub forever last night to start feeling semi-clean again. Every week out there is some kind of weather issue, you just have to accept it. This past weekend it was a relentless dusty wind. We brought a pound or more of Kerrville home with us. Mostly in my nose and ears. Some between my toes. :cool:
    • John : we're getting a much later start than planned but we're headed to Kerrville right now to see the very, very beginning of the Kerrville Folk Festival. It's a week before the actual start but tonight is the "land rush" tailgate party. I don't think our cell phones work at Pleasant Valley Ranch but we'll be back by Monday. See ya!
    • Sylvia : Anybody know what time the world ends today?
    • John : Mom, we're playing the Bharmancy again on May 31st at 7:00. See if you can't get some friends to come.
    • John : hey, it ain't mine. It's community property. I'm just always stuck with all the dishwashing. :roll:
    • Patrick : John, I love your website!! Very cool. :razz:
    • Guest_4120 : I had such a great time at the Bharmacy last night. It was good to see such nice people enjoying themselves so much. Great music! Thank you for taking me!
    • Steve : I'll take two sandwiches, hold the Fleetwood Mac
    • John : The end of the world is May 21st, somebody says. Better enjoy your sandwich today just in case.
    • Katherine : thought you Whipples would enjoy proof the Aztecs were right on. «link»
    • Guest_4120 : Won't be the first or last and it only hurts feelings!!! HONKK :lol:
    • John : Damn, I got caught here not reading your whole story. It's the chains to your hanging baskets. :roll:
    • John : Mother, I take it that the chains are necklaces?
    • Guest_4120 : I was loading up my arms with everything I need to be gone for the afternoon. I had my purse, my book, water, some chains to hang plants with (hoping Willie would be home to cut them as I had already put a big blood blister on my thumb, had to poke it to let the blood out, put alcohol,taped it up, put the bag of trash on the other arm to dump, bag of hanging chains --are you ready? Got in the car and looked for my chains--I had thrown them in with the trash! Looked in the trash and couldn't see
    • Guest_4120 : I had a wonderful Mother's Day at Casey's! Today I hung my Hoya plant that Leslie gave me.
    • John : So.... the answer finally came today from Weldon Whipple. We aren't related at all to the William Whipple who signed the Declaration of Independence. That was more than 200 years of misinformation. :roll: Both lines of Whipples were some of America's very earliest settlers coming here in the 1600's around the time of the Mayflower and both sides later played very important roles in the American Revolution. Our guy Abraham fired the first shot of the war, their guy signed the Delaration.
    • John : we had a very nice Mother's Day family lunch at Casey's this afternoon. Thanks Casey!
    • DAP : Jonah is annoyed to be wearing pants. Of course, Jonah would rather not wear clothes at all . . .
    • John : when we have a warm week in fall we call it an Indian Summer. Is this gorgeous, low humidity, cool week we're having an Indian Winter? We better soak it up because it won't last. :oops:
    • John : I got a Casey princess and a Jimmie princess. They're wonderful. But I'm warning you guys, a princess will set you back a couple of shekels.
    • Nancy : lol
    • Abe : I think it helps if you're jewish
    • Nancy : i wanna be a princess
    • Art : i don't understand the fascination with the royal wedding but... the world does have a knock down gorgeous new princess now. That can't be bad. «link»
    • Art : well... so much for this season. Championship hunting season is over for the Spurts!
    • John : Lose. That's what you did. Oh well. :cry:
    • John : ok, it's the beginning of the 4th quarter. What are you going to do Spurs? :?:
    • John : Ok, it's the second half Spurs... what are you going to do?
    • John : Thank you, baby.
    • Jimmie : You can finish during the Spurs game, honey. :-)
    • John : I'm irritable right now because I'm only half way through removing over 10,000 fake comments. It's taking all day. :evil:
    • Steve : ....some are pretty funny. How many people shop for stuff in the comments of somebody's blog? Those ridiculous Ukranians. :roll:
    • Monica : Whippleworld is back. YIPEEE! Those comments were pretty wild there for a while! 8-O
    • Steve : Facebook is chatter like texting or chatting (neither of which I care for). A good blog is like a good magazine. I've been coming for many years, too, and I always find content I like. Play them, use Facebook to funnel people over here but don't worry about Whippleworld, it's awesome!!! :!:
    • John : I appreciate you saying that. It's always been for every thousand Whippleworld readers maybe one will actually stop and make a comment. Now the competition from Facebook has brought that percentage down even further. And you're right, readership has actually gone up from linking posts here to Facebook. But everything is chasing FB's tail now.
    • Nancy : I've been looking at Whippleworld on and off for years. There are lots of family blogs trying to stay relevant under pressure from FB and Twitter. I say lots of family blogs but I've never seen one as active as this one. Have you? I don't see that FB is slowing you down that much. As a matter of fact I often come here from your Facebook posts so maybe it helps some already. :roll:
    • John : This blog's 8 years old with over 30,000 entries, each post with it's own URL - that's a blog so old and so big that it kinda has a life of it's own. We're bookmarked by tens of thousands of people, about half outside the U.S. We've always had tons of readers, just never tons of contributors. I guess we should learn ways to use it and Facebook together.
    • Joe : i wouldn't let FB "whip" ya :mrgreen:
    • Sylvia : I don't do much on Facebook so I'm glad to keep up with you guys on Whipple's World.
    • John : Whippleworld is how we communicated before Facebook. Almost all of the daily communication we did on here for years is done there now.
    • Malcolm : More power to you and Jimmie! Woodzie was definitely a winner this year! :D Where has everyone been on here?
    • John : We got re-hooked on going to The Kerrville Folk Festival last year. We've scaled back our plans to go out and stay all month but we'll go at least two weekends. Anybody making plans to go? Judy Collins is playing that first Saturday. :cool:
    • John : Jimmie and I are headed out to this little festival «link» We're getting to the point where we just want to play all the time. This should be interesting in that we don't know any of these people.
    • John : another Woodzie has come and gone. I think this one was just right. ;)
    • kelli : And what I was going to say before I was so rudely corrected, was THANK YOU FOR MAKING the posts scroll down! It makes reading Whipworld mo betta fun!
    • kelli : I do believe I've been insulted by captcha! Why, the nerve!!! Of course I can count and I hate Spam!
    • Jimmie : And that sucker is under OUR HOUSE
    • Jimmie : Thhis chart freaks me out because it shows the Edwards Aquifer water moving one foot during the quake. «link»
    • Steve : this just came in from Japan, they need you to look at these charts and tell them what to do about the reactors. «link» They say they're depending on you.
    • John : yes, we're doing the Tejas Party this Friday night at The Cadillac Bar. If you or any of your friends want to go just say whippleworld to Sylvia at the door. Jimmie and I will be there, it's never too hard to find us.
    • Sylvia : you can tell da countess was absolutely beautiful
    • John : Start at the front of Maggie's blog here in 2004 and browse forward «link»
    • Monica : this is better... Drunken Poet's Dream «link»
    • Monica : Bon Jovi vs. Steve Jobs? «link»
    • Steve : Whatz up? are you doing the Tejas Party next week?
    • Monica : here's the Boston Globe's Big Pictures from Japan today «link»
    • John : that's confusing - I typed as I was rushing out of the house. Look at the «link» There's some setup and tear down days but it boils down to 18 days of actual festival. For $575 a person can buy a couples pass which is 36 daily wristbadges; 2 for each day, one for each person in the couple. BUT.. if 2 couples or 4 people split the 18 days into 9 days, a more manageable time to be gone, it's $575 divided by 4 = $143.75. What's that, $15 a day? Brings it into the realm of possibilty.
    • John : Anybody want to go in on two complete festival passes to Kerrville this year? It's $550 for two. What you get is a wristband for every day and the word is you can divy them up to get the least expensive per day tickets. Math isn't a hippie strong suit. We don't want to be there the whole month but I'm thinking maybe there might be another couple who'd like to split up the weeks and end up paying $275 for two people to be there up to 10 days.
    • John : Very cool, Malcolm. I'll email you the template to make the corners round and you can add text.
    • Malcolm : Wouldja look at that! I am now a header contributor to Whippleworld! If you want your own customized barcode, go here: «link» I made one for my guitar case. :cool:
    • Malcolm : Apparently, Tiger Blood is not a limited nor rare commodity. It would seem that it is consumed via shaved or crushed ice. Raspa, anyone? «link» :lol:
    • John : Are you making fun of me?
    • Art : I'm with John, I think he got a transfusion and really has tiger's blood in his veins. Think about it, why in the world would Charlie Sheen say it if it wasn't true? You know what I mean? Tiger blood can't be that hard to get. :razz:
    • John : making two million bucks a week he could have easily afforded a Keith Richards' style blood transfusion in India. Just sayin' give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
    • Jimmie : I think Tiger Blood is a side effect of cocaine use.
    • John : Literally? Does he know how it got there?
    • Patrick : He said that he has it in his body.
    • John : what exactly did he say about tiger blood?
    • Steve : "Charlie Sheen may or may not be “winning,” in life, but he has won a rare honor: the “Fastest Time to Reach 1 Million Twitter Followers” Guinness World Record." «link» .... must be the tiger blood.
    • John : We had a good night. We'll be there every Wednesday.
    • John : Jimmie and I will be crowing at the Red Rooster in New Braunfels tonight. «link» ;)
    • Jimmie : Sure, it's fine to come camp on Friday. Some people even like to set up that day and come back on Saturday. Whatever works best for you. There will be other early campers and music making is encouraged. :D
    • Frank : My girlfriend and her daughter and I would like to come camp at The Woodzie this year. Can we come set-up and camp Friday evening?
    • Art : 13 Most Wanted Features Users Want To See In Apple iPad 2 «link» 8-O
    • John : thanks. Hey... Central Texas Whippleworlders, it feels like we have winter pretty much behind us now. I've got the itch to put in a garden this year. :razz:
    • Terri : hey, really nice website!
    • John : 5 Reasons Why Apple's iPad Is a Great Gift for Grandma «link»
    • John : well, Evan's racking up driving experience. We let him drive wherever we go. He's doing really good.
    • DAP : I meant - Grass pollen or mold. NOT tree pollen. Yep, it's either mold or, like Daddy used to say, they're experimenting on us.
    • John : Hey, we're hosting the open mic at The Bharmancy tomorrow night (Tuesday the 15th). Starting at 7:00 there's going to be a presentation by the Texas Music Coalition for musicians on how to get gigs. Then Jimmie and I will play for a while starting at 8:00 and then Rolie and Kari and who ever else shows up. Come over there - it's at Hildebrand and Olmos. No cover. Good sandwiches.
    • John : I think it's mold
    • DAP : It feels like mold or tree pollen -those are the two that usually give me this type of headache.
    • John : What is the allergen in the air right now? It's driving me crazy.
    • John : ah... whippleworlders can find the photo they're talking about by using the search field above the list of recent comments. The link to the owner of that image is in the post. Good luck!!
    • John : If it's an image we created I'm sure that would be fine... but I'm not sure what the "Goat Tower" pic is. Kinda sounds like a photo somebody found somewhere and put in a post.
    • Guest_3963 : 2 enterprizing moms want to start a children's (kids) line of clothing and would love to use your goat tower pic on our web logo...we'd love to have permission to do so..it is perfect for kid clothes for kids who actually act like kids! I would love your permission
    • Malcolm : Woodzie ;)
    • Malcolm : Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...
    • John : yesterday was short sleeve shirt weather again, you'd hardly believe there had been snow on the ground the morning before.
    • John : snow
    • Allison : now that it already has and is laying on the ground I'll say... yes. What do I win?
    • John : anybody think it's gonna snow? :cool:
    • John : you know you guys are welcome to email in "art for the day" posts. Try it, you'll like it. :idea:
    • Carson : loved the Boston Globe photos. hope they sort that out over there. you may like these National Geographic photos «link» :razz:
    • Monica : I'm excited that The Woodzie is only two months away!!! :lol:
    • Art : i love these Big Picture photo collections that the Boston Globe does specially for the Internet. Here's the newest one on the week in Egypt: «link»
    • Ann/Mom : Thanks son!
    • John : Several Whippleworlders are looking at this slow carb diet. Jimmie and I have been on it for almost a month and it's a great way to eat. No sugar, or bread or any of the things you know make you fat. You eat meat, vegetables and beans. «link» We all know processed foods are part of the problem, this is like rolling the clock back to before processed foods and eating that way again.
    • John : welcome aboard Glenn
    • Glenn Allan : Breakfast: Three organic scrambled eggs, organic refried beans, mixed veggies, tomatilla sauce. :mrgreen:
    • John : No, Brad knows the band and we're helping him help them out. I hope the weather holds.
    • Malcolm : They've got quite a lineup for that day «link» Do you know the McCumber family?
    • Malcolm : I'd love to, John, but it depends on if I can kidnap the family after church. Looks like this «link» is the place.
    • John : Malcolm - come up to The Happy Cow and play harmonica with us from 12:30 to 2:00 on Sunday. Everybody is invited. Not to play harmonica, that would be too many, but come have a BBQ plate and some beers. VERY kid friendly place. Here's the clincher... belt sander drag races.
    • Tyler : Awesome! Thanks Malcolm!
    • Malcolm : Tyler, I ran into the same name issue thing until I realized I had to log in. As for artists, I am acquainted with a few: Brother Cletus Behlmann, Clay McGaughy, Gordon West, Julie Verschoyle, Karl Lubbering, Stacy Berlfein. One of them might be willing to loan some pieces. ;)
    • Future Mrs. Moran : It wouldn't let me post as Tyler Archer or Tyler :(
    • Future Mrs. Moran : Anyone know any fabulous San Antonian Artists looking for a great place to display their art? Working in a new art gallery at UTSA and looking for future artists :)
    • John : that occupies the spot on the spectrum of healthy foods at the far end from a big bowl of Captain Crunch.
    • Jimmie : For breakfast I had 3 diced hard-boiled eggs, mixed with 1/2 cup lentils, some crumbled bacon and topped with a bit of Vidalia onion salad dressing. All on a giant bed of spinach. (Okay I actually eat the first part with a spoon and shove the copious amounts of baby spinach leaves into my mouth by hand, but you get the picture). And that's what I eat first thing every morning, now. ;)
    • John : Jimmie and I are doing good on our "slow carb" diet. We're eating super healthy. Except on Saturday, on Saturday we can eat cookies and ice cream. One day off and six days on... it gets the weight loss job done without the mentail anguish of having to give up treats that you like. Having Saturday as our cheat day makes it feel like food Christmas. The rest of the week we eat a lot of chicken, beef, eggs, lentils and spinach. All very slow burning food.
    • John : .... he could register "TheWoodzieWon 'tLetMeBlow.com " :D
    • Monica : the only guy might be that saxophone player from last year. :mrgreen:
    • John : Yeah, Malcolm... this is the time to start talking about The Woodzie. I know Jimmie is ready to start making plans. I did the first step, I updated the website: «link» When I bought that domain name it didn't even occur to me to also get "TheWoodzieBlow s.Com". It just didn't seem like we'd need it. Because we don't have that safety net, we'll have to go old school and just make sure it doesn't. :roll:
    • John : That's hilarious!! It should be a joke but I guess it's not. I guess now that the new generation is running the world what you do to assure quality is grab up all the "sucks" and "blows" related domain names. Then you're safe to be as awful as you want! 8-O
    • Steve : You guys will like this. Is this what the world has come to? «link»
    • Malcolm : Soooooo...too early to talk about Woodzie? You know, Woodzie coming up in April? If it's too soon to bring up Woodzie now, then we'll just have to talk about Woodzie later. :-)
    • John : oh, they're fluent in the Tex/Mex dialect called Spanglish. :) Having an almost instant voice translator would be great on a vacation in Mexico. I guess instant translation isn't too far away. Evan might be wasting his time in his High School French class.
    • Sylvia : John, your Tejano artists could really use it. Maybe get part of their Spanish right. :oops:
    • Sylvia : I bet there will be an English/Spanish translator for ipad soon. they have it for android: «link»
    • John : Maybe I'm the only one enjoying the break but it's nice not to have to hustle up a group of people every week. But for two years it's been a social opportunity for so many that everybody's wanting to get back to it. So I think as soon as the weather warms up we'll get going again. I just have to want to do the steps, I can't want to when it's cold. :mrgreen:
    • Monica : John, when is Thursday Night Music Club going off break?? :?: ?
    • steve : I don't have an iPad yet so I just look at the apps. Here's 40 of the best free ones: «link» Until I get an iPad kindly let me know how awesome they are. :cry:
    • Malcolm : Another big announcement, go here «link» and sign up for the next Pickin' for the Record event coming up in March! This is going to be a big one!
    • Malcolm : Hard to believe, but yes it has been a year. Go figure! 8-O
    • John : Taylor and Evan are your big cookie consumers... I'll pass the word around. Has a year already passed?
    • Malcolm : Katie is in the middle of Girl Scout cookie sales. If anyone's interested, let me know or you can go to «link» to see what cookies are available. :D
    • Jimmie : Go see True Grit right now. JIMMIE SAYS SO!
    • John : Yes Malcolm I agree that AVG is the best choice. I'd switched to AVAST for a while but it just spends too much effort trying to strong arm you to upgrade to the paid version. They say the brand new one from Microsoft may be the best now. Although that's hard to believe I guess stranger things have happened. I recently installed it on my laptop, I'll see how it goes. «link»
    • John : yep, Rick that's the future of the music biz.... and it's hard to tell but the future may be now.
    • Steve : Thanks for links, they both look good!
    • Malcolm : I also like «link» for malware protection. :D
    • Malcolm : For the antivirus question, I've been using «link» lately. It seems to do a fairly decent job. :-?
    • Rick : so that's what it's coming to???? :-(
    • John : Yeah, I'd seen BandCamp - looks good to me. I like that it pushes entire CDs. If you sell the single (or whatever the best song on your record is) for 99 cents it very well may be you would make more money offering the entire record for $2.00. With one or two caveats like if you have covers on there you have to pay royalties on. But $2.00 minimum on a pay what you can afford deal might be a great thing.
    • Art : Put your stuff on all of those sites, what can it hurt? But don't spend the money yet, nobody I know is making more than a few dollars here and there.
    • Steve : what's the best free anti-virus service :?:
    • Steve : John, do you know about the Bandcamp online store thing? It's 15% instead of iTunes 40% and you make a suggested price for your whole CD and ask people to pay as much as they think they can justify. «link»
    • DAP : It will be frio indeed! But it sounds like fun. Have a great time!
    • John : we're getting ready to head over to The Lavens for our annual New Year's party. We're going to do something different this year, we're going to leave the Lavens there in midtown San Antonio about midnight and drive up to Garner State Park to camp with Claude Morgan then spend New Year Day playing guitars on the Frio. And it will be frio, I'm sure. :mrgreen: Have a great night tonight everybody!
    • John : I took John Sr. to get a cataract surgery this morning. He's doing fine. Then went to Renee and Randy's 20th Anniversary dinner. Happy Anniversary kids! I need a nap. ;)
    • John : Renee and Randy will be on display at Riley's Tavern tonight from 8:00 till late. Come take a look. 8-O
    • Jimmie : We're all up here at Nona's in Austin watching the Cowboys and trying to digest
    • John : Thanks Karen. Hope you and your family have a beautiful Hawaiian Holidays!! :cool:
    • Karen in Hawaii : MERRY CHRISTMAS to each of you. God bless all of you to have the best, New Year ever.
    • Karen in Hawaii : I had fun clicking on the headers so I could enjoy all of the new ones, or that were new to me, anyway. I like 'em!
    • Guest_4589 : Taylor honey, that is so beautiful! I love it! Oh yes, I love you too!
    • Guest_4589 : What a beautiful header! My children are always so full of talent, makes me proud! :-)
    • Ann/Mom : I really am proud of the CD cover Evan! I know your music must be good and I would love to hear it! :lol:
    • Jimmie : I really appreciate the high quality of the email submissions we've been receiving. They add so much to the blog. Thanks!
    • John : I sent this link to Taylor, he's the kind of guy who could pull this off: «link»
    • Jimmie : We're at the Bharmancy in San Antonio visiting with Pam. A nice night!
    • John : hey.... wives aren't supposed to do "that's what she said" jokes!!! 8-O
    • Jimmie : "that's what she said..."
    • John : no, it's endemic.
    • Jimmie : I noticed, but thought it might be iPad related.
    • John : yeah, but every couple of times it'll still come up with a blank. When that happens, click anywhere in the header area and it'll load another one.
    • Jimmie : Yay, the headers are working again!
    • John : Oh yeah. Big record release party.
    • Sal : John, are you going to be at The Cadillac Bar Thurs. nite :?:
    • Karen : the perfect xmas present for iPhone users «link»
    • John : after 40 years of "Don't Squeeze The Charmin" our skin is too tough to be bothered by that. But that's certainly odd. Glad you guys like our old blog.
    • Michael : I enjoy the site, too. Although I might get booted off for this «link» :roll:
    • Rick : Hope all you Whipples and Whippleworld readers had a great turkey day! This daily weblog has been a real source of enjoyment for the wife and I this past year!! :razz:
    • John : one thing special I'm doing for the Holidays this year is converting all our old VHS tapes of family Christmases to DVD. I know I could get a convertor to do it into the computer but I found this Toshiba stand alone DVD recorder online for around $100 and it works perfectly. Plus it's a really high quality DVD player and we needed one. I don't want to edit anything, I just want an exact copy of the tape and this thing does it with the push one button ease of a cassette recorder. I love it. «link»
    • John : Jimmie says The Green Cards are playing on Roots And Branches right now and they're sounding really good. «link»
    • Jimmie : Watching it now, thanks.
    • Monica : i'll try. John Lennon movies on American Masters on PBS Monday night «link»
    • Steve : Is Rupert Murdoch’s iPad-Only Newspaper the Future of Journalism? «link» i love the easy link thing. i'd start my own blog but first, nobody would come and second it's easiest to do on yours ;)
    • John : Here's 10 things we all do. If you think you don't do all of these things to some degree then you're saying you're not human. I dare you to tell me I'm wrong. Ok, I typed that now I hit "control v" and paste the link I had copied.... «link» and there it is.
    • John : A percentage of readers here realize that this sidebar chat is the easiest way in the solar system to share a link. If you ever want to try it just cut and paste any website address in the message box at the bottom, hit send and bingo, it automatically turns that URL into a nice little blue active link. 8-O
    • Stephen : i think you artistic whippleworld types would like this wallpaper «link»
    • John : going to the doctor today to see if they're going to take a needle biopsy on what's left of my thyroid. It's huge, it seems to be growing everyday. Making me feel really funky. :-(
    • John : part of that was the mini-woodzie we just had. But also I setup a Facebook group and a ReverbNation page and I think those sent out a bunch of invites. Yeah, this is the earliest we've ever picked a date. Let's hope it works out.
    • Sal : suddenly I'm seeing the woodzie all over the place, this is an early start. :mrgreen:
    • John : this is kinda cool. This company made an map/sitseeing app for the iPhone and they used some of my pictures from a trip Jimmie and I took to Vegas in it. They saw them on flikr and asked permission. «link»
    • Monica : great link. looks VERY complicated to make 20 billion dollars. are we sure they're not just using a rolodex for the search and a printing press for the money?? :roll:
    • Jimmie : interesting «link»
    • John : Luby's is starting to serve breakfast for $5 «link» :razz:
    • John : you would hope they'd go back here to film The Hobbit, it's so perfect. The sheep could be extras. «link»
    • John : HEY! A "mini" Woodzie this Sat., Nov. 13th staring in the evening and overnight. We encourage you to setup a tent and stay overnight but you don't have to. Lots of food and a big campfire song circle - bring a side dish and/or some meat for the bar-b-que pit. FM 1102 and Hoffmann Lane in New Braunfels is the intersection to use to Google up a map. Message me if you have any questions. Love to have you and your family.

    • John : I just got back from the doctor and looks like this Hashimoto's thing was a much bigger problem than I first thought. BUT... I'll get the rest of my thyroid out and it should be all over. I'd love to get back to normal. ;)
    • Sylvia : or don't but then don't dare make a peep for the next 4 years about the government not being how you like it :cry:
    • John : remember to go vote! :razz:
    • Ann/Mom : I got up at 7:30 a.m. and went to Zumba exercise class. This is for senior citizens but I think the instuctor forgot that part. It was a lot of fun, and fast moving with good moves. Hope to be feeling better and better as I start breaking it up with different exercises 4 days a week.
    • John : Hey Evan.... a movie storyboarding app for the iPad «link»
    • John : I think tonight is going to be the coldest night so far.
    • Sylvia : Somebody must have left their air conditioner on with their windows down last night, it's COLD out this morning! :roll:
    • John : oh, I knew that's what you meant. I was trying to wax and shine it up into a positive light. :roll:
    • Art : i was thinking more like now, with my musical career being deceased and all. :evil:
    • John : that could be the ultimate optimism... you're going to be so famous that even after you die you'll need people to handle you. All I'll need is an undertaker. :D
    • Sal : me, too :idea:
    • Art : Michael Jackson: The Corpse King Of Pop. «link» ...Did you know there are agents who only represent dead people? Maybe I need one.
    • John : I came up with a temporary solution, putting them below a "more" button. Seems to work.
    • Slyvia : Whippleworld is always part of my morning surf. I think it's more interesting without the YouTubes. Embedded YouTubes are just filler, they're so... yesterday. :cool:
    • John : Deirdre and I pull it out every morning but they're usually just harmless generic responses like "nice post" or "great writing"... it's cheerful stuff a blog owner might leave on their blog but what it does is create a backlink to their site for better search engine ranking and for the possible click through from people who don't know it's spam. If we left it up you'd recognize it pretty quickly. Very cool arbor in your link there. Wow!
    • Steve : How can you tell what's spam? I came to put up this link I thought you gardeners would like. Don't click it unless you love Wisteria. «link» :razz:
    • John : Now it's a barrage of spam comments. Having a blog is so much fun.
    • John : it cut me off :roll: I was saying, other videos from other sites will probably work. I know everybody loves the YouTubes but give me some time to work it out.
    • John : We're having problems with the blog, you may have noticed it crashing this morning. They must have made some changes at YouTube because something in posts with YouTube code in them is conflicting with our old Wordpress Theme. the rest of the world is upgrading and changing and we're not. But those guys stay on top of it because it's paying job. SO... we won't be able to access YouTube videos until I can upgrade to WP 3.2 and then upgrade our theme. Videos from other video sites might embed j
    • John : We're back from the desert. Jimmie and I found out that a long weekend in Terlingua is about all the bone dry, flat, treeless terrain we can take. We started getting lizardlike scales and flicking our tongues out to catch bugs. We tore out right after the festival ended and spent all day Monday on the river. By the end of a day in Concan soaking in the Frio we were normal again. :cool:
    • John : well... alright! I guess I just need to ask more often. :razz: So glad you're coming, we're really looking forward to it.
    • Malcolm : Au contraire, mon frère ~ we are leaving for the Big Bend Bash in the morrow and returning on Sunday. So, I guess your wish has been granted! :mrgreen:
    • John : I wish you were going to Terlingua with us Malcolm. Yeah, that tuner is a cool idea. 9 volt batteries are $3 now. That thing could pay for itself in a year. It takes very little juice to run a tuner it's leaving it on by accident that makes you loose your $3 battery most of the time.
    • Malcolm : Oops, I meant to attach this: «link» :oops:
    • Malcolm : I know *I* hadn't seen these before. All I can say is it's about time!
    • John : True that. Nothing else is up... we're just here.
    • Sal : Miss Jimmie's looking good... that's up
    • Jay : What's up Whippleworld?

    • John : if this New Mexico feeling weather isn't enough to make you feel great I don't know what possibly could. What an incredible two week stretch of heavenly weather we've had! I think this is the last day of it, supposed to start getting muggy again.

    • John : if you want to watch a stage of the ACL festival, you can right here «link» it's going on right now and goes pretty much all weekend. It's really good.
    • John : I had a great time at The Thursday Night Music Club last night. I just love Parke Hedges, what a good guy.
    • John : Alex, WP 3 requires a newer version of the database software. Whippleworld is over seven years old and showing some signs of wear and tear. I have to migrate the whole site over to a fresh database before upgrading to 3. I just haven't had the day to devote to doing that. I'll take any help I can get. Thanks for thinking of us.
    • Monica : DON'T GO TO WORK TODAY. PLAY YOUR "IT'S TOO PRETTY OUTSIDE TO BE IN A CUBICLE" CARD. :razz: have a great day mr. whipple! I don't imagine you get cubed very often.
    • Alex : John, I see you're still using the older version - you know you guys are missing out on the features of Wordpress 3.0. Unlike many of the others this is a very worthwhile upgrade. Sure like the community blog your family has going here. Very impressive.
    • John : I do
    • Monica : don't you love this weather?!
    • Sal : i don't know how to make a post but I know you guys like Volkswagen art «link»

    • Guest_1047 : take an instant vacation to Utah. «link» anyone know how in the world they make panaoramas? how do they get below your feet and above your head? :?:
    • John : Our friend Brad Svoboda is back from Hawaii and will be at Riley's tonight to tell the tale. Brad set a goal for himself to ride a motorcycle in all 50 states before turning 40. Over the years he's been taking long trips and the states added up. Why Hawaii this week? Because he had 49 after he did Alaska in July of last year and Oct. 2nd, next week, is his birthday. His 40th. Well done Brad.
    • Jimmie : The feets hurtses!
    • John : We had two gigs today - the afternoon at Oma's and the evening at Green Onion. We played almost 7 hours. 8-O

Lindsey F9870 looks like she is rehabilitating really nicely. «link» Go on, how long has it been since you had a penpal? :evil:

    • John : Jimmie took me fishing for my birthday. We have a little wifi connection here for a couple of minutes. Having a good time, be home late this afternoon.
    • John : the rotating headers are on vacation for a couple of weeks. Something went wacky in the gears of the machine and me or somebody has to get in there and oil it. But I don't know where yet.
    • Monica : John, I know you have a lot of friends on Facebook so you may not remember me but I found your blog through FB - what has happened to the header art that used to change every day :?:

    • Tyler : Who's been doing all the email posts? They've been great the last few days! :D
    • John : thanks for all the calls checking on us but we're fine. New Braunfels has such a bad reputation for flooding - part of our land is creek bed and it floods but where our house sits is up high enough that water doesn't stand. Our dried up old brown weeds are turning green again after two days of rain. :mrgreen:
    • John : for us it's only an hour and maybe half a Whippleworld away. :razz:
    • Steve : Austin is both 3 hours and a whole world away.....
    • John : we're hanging out in Winona's house. Playing with her big, fat cat and watching her big screen TV. Living large. We were going non-stop yesterday but we're relaxing this morning. Going to the art museum this afternoon. We're treating this like a tourist trip to some distant destination.

    • Guest_1012 : Thank you. I needed calming words... good luck, may you be blessed.
    • John : I feel for ya. I've had my kids get sudden wild rashes from head to toe and weird infections and delirious fevers; it's the scariest thing there is. BUT they ended up being fine every time. I bet that's what will happen with your daughter. A week from now it'll be in the rear view mirror.

    • Guest_1012 : she developed large boils, pink eye, sores on her mouth... taking anti-biotics now
    • John : what did they say?
    • Guest_1012 : thanks for the feedback, she went to the doctor today
    • John : No, I wasn't at Krause Spings. If your kid has an infected area get her to a doctor right away. They can tell pretty quick. It's probably not what you fear but any infection can get serious really fast.
    • Guest_1012 : were you there? At Krouse Springs ?
    • Guest_1012 : sorry, I just landed on this website by doing a search on Krouse Springs and MRSA... took my daughters camping two weeks ago and now my littlest one is showing signs... I'm kind of scared
    • Guest_1012 : John, do you know how you got MRSA?
