Another Leaf RoofSubmitted by cookshow on 26 July, 2006 - 04:46.
.jpg "Another Leaf Roof") Like Alan said, these roofs are very popular on the Atlantic Coast. I have heard about them being harvested during full moons, what is the reasoning? This is Corn Island International Airport. ( categories: )

Reasoning - Written by Bobby.
They cut that and the bamboo during a full moon. If you cut it any other time it doesn't hold up as long. I never tested the theory and can't for the life of me figure out why it would make any differance.
Sorry Steve........
Tacoma is staying here at my house in Granada and he was online last night and evidently signed into NL. I turned on the computer this morning and just now realized NL was still signed on under his handle. The above post is actually mine.
Pura Nica, Bobby
you are correct
they cut lumber during phases of the moon so it does not rot quickly either. some of those things passed down from the older people who paid attention to those things.
I made a fool of myself NOT beliving it, but it is so about what they say.

Leak Roofs!
Cut during the moon phase for the same reason that ...
Coconut trees must be planted facing East (I think), Women can not bathe for 10 days after giving birth, Touching ice, then something hot will make you sick as will walking barefoot, wearing a wet shirt and bathing after eating... and on and on. I should be dead by now.
I am personally convinced that it is propoganda perpetuated by the local witch doctors to keep in business.
The leaf thing was explained to me several times and I couldn't make any sense of it. I thought it had something to do with full moon or new moon and the tides. The palms are in marshy/wetland areas so it might be that the trees are easier to access with greater low tides.
maybe it's because . . .
maybe it's because . . . you could see what you're doing without torches. When we get a cloud free sky with a full moon you can practically read by the light of it.
The truth has a liberal bias - Stephen Colbert
what a terrible tag line.....
the truth is the truth. you put a spin on depending upon your perspective. your tag line reminds me of hitler, tell the lie often enough and people believe it. caesar ended every speech with, "carthage delendum est." i had 5 years of latin, translates carthage must be destroyed. kinda like that iranian president who keeps saying israel must be wiped off the face of the earth. the truth is the truth. you can't change it.
Carthage
Actually, Cato the Elder said it trying incite Second Punic War which did lead to the complete destruction of Carthage.
i won't argue that point.
from my memory of latin, caesar said everything.
I agree with you on one point . . .
" tell the lie often enough and people believe it. Caesar ended every speech with, "carthage delendum est." I had to kill cable to get rid of CNN and FOX for that very reason.
I Thought
Ceasar said "Et tu Brute" at the end of every speech
or maybe that was Hamlet.
Aw - Its been too long - fuggetabudit.

The truth
Hey JR,
It's a saying from a comedian on the Comedy Central channel. He's got a show called the Colbert Report that makes fun of political s**t. It's actually pretty funny. Check it out.
funny if you're a liberal, Adam . . .
you won't get many guffaws from the other side of the room.
PS with a handle like Ant were you a fan of the burundi drummin', first nation/pirate dressin' music sensation by the name of Adam Ant
I'm neither,
I laugh at everybody, including myself.
Adam Ant- don't tread on an ant, he's done nothing to you there might come a day, he comes looking for you don't tread on an ant, he's done nothing to you cut off his head, legs come looking for you!
Ant music for sex people, sex music for ant people.
I saw the Ant man in Toronto
I saw the Ant man in Toronto, excellent drumming . . . saw Bow Wow Wow as well. Same drumming style. Great african rhythms . . .
Album
My favorite is Kings of the Wild Frontier. Great, rough sound.
Dirk Wears White Sox . . .
Car Trouble Oh yeah . . .
And...
We are the vaseline gang.
Brings back memories for sure.
just lyrics folks . . . ; )

MA, rest your neck on this one, pleease.
WOO! I'm feeling GOOD! LOL
well thanks, man that got....
my blood boiling. i don't have cable. didn't have a clue what it means. still don't. but i hope young skulls of mush don't buy it. ok, i'll get off my soap box.
Just a suggestion
The Native Indians smoked the peace pipe to keep them mellow. Find something that calms you, like Mozart or Vivaldi or, just do as the Indians did.
hope your BPs alright . . . I'd feel terrible
the mush skulls are buying it, and we just can't keep it in stock . . . funny, we're the same age. Crazy eh ; ) different life experiences, who knows . . . trade places , who knows what happpens . . .
who knows what makes a lib and a conservative
as my dear liberal momma would say, "it's not right or wrong, just different." now she was a college professor, so she of course drank the cool aid. i on the other hand believed her message of social justice and became a prosecutor and a soldier. hehehehehehe.
their trouble is
they are gonna have to wipe off all the rednecks too!
the sleeping giant has not been awakened as yet.
Lyin' Farmer John Wayne
you are exactly right.....
i am hoping... the giant can be awakened again.

Women can not iron and open and reach-in the refrigerator or freezer.
"Oh Lordy - Can't iron today cuz I ritched in de frig fer yo beer."
Walking barefoot on wooden floors is fine.
Walking barefoot on cement floors is bad.

what the heck.....
does this mean?
Jim - Answer
A very insighful blog type post was posted by Rosa on this Corn Island leaf roof topic.
Her comment was very good and should have been posted as a blog for her writing to get the proper attention that she deserved and not hidden in an unrelated topic and I created the blog for her at the above link that you questioned.
If that is not clear as mud - ask me again.
Miskito Alan ®
got it....
hope she posts it.
No Got It
She is not going to post it - I posted it.
I put the link about 3 comments above this post where you asked "What the Heck".
We will try this again.
