RE: Thread creativity.

I've started a number of what I think are interesting threads and I get a few responses and then they get pushed off page 1 by some newbie posting 15 assinine polls. Why is it that new members feel compelled to swamp the forum?

RE: Oldies for us .....older people

Most people have never heard this one and you may hate it at first but please give it a listen, you just may want to get up and dance



The flip side is a very strange rendition of "In The Mood" which I can't find on youtube.

RE: Oldies for us .....older people

Hey folk, a nice young lady asked me to dance...........with BIG JOHN. She said she could use a laugh.

Come here loverboy!

RE: Oldies for us .....older people

It's my understanding that this group was assembled just to make this record, it became a big hit and they disbanded and never made another record.



Do I talk to much?

RE: Oldies for us .....older people

Reminds me of Coney Island Judy. This one reminds me of the streets of NYC in the summertime.

RE: Oldies for us .....older people

It always struck me as odd the "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James was banned but "I Think We're Alone Now" never was.

Words of love. One of my all time favs by the mommas and the poppas Momma Cass had such a great voice.

RE: I NEED SOME HELP HERE

I had a well run dry about 9 years ago and the pump was running so long it got so hot you would burn your hand if you touched it. I let it cool naturally for about 4 hours before I primed it and got it back in service. I'm still using the same pump to this day. Like I say, save it, it may be still ok. When you fill the system from the top of the pump, does it stay full?

RE: I NEED SOME HELP HERE

deroderidder, I'm sure she meant 52 feet to the bottom of the well. We both know this is a meaningless number.

RE: I NEED SOME HELP HERE

OK you have a shallow well. The valve you're messing with is called a footvalve. I honestly doubt this is your problem but there's no harm in checking it out. It sounds to me like you have 2 problems. The first problem is your tank needs to be recharged with air. This was probably why the pump started the moment you opened the tap and why the pump shut off right away. The air acts like a spring allowing the pump to build up pressure slowly and fill the tank, well half fill the tank because the tank should be half full of air. There was no need to replace the pump. IMO you threw your money away. But keep the old pump as a spare because if I'm right, there is nothing wrong with it.

Get a tire gage and a source of compressed air and recharge the tank. READ THIS:



After you've done that and you put the pick up pipe back into the well you have to fill the system with water like they guy with the beautiful red Ferrari said. This is called priming the pump. Getting a shallow well pump primed and pumping again is very tricky if you don't know how to finesse' it. It may be a good idea to call a neighbor who knows the trick to getting a jetpump going again. If that's not possible the basic idea is to choke off the outlet from the pump to the tank by nearly closing the valve this is where the finesse' comes in. The pump doesn't like to not have any back pressure because what happens is the instant you turn it on, it pumps whatever water is in the pump out and it creates a vacuum. Jetpumps don't like a vacuums.
Good luck, you'll be up all night!

RE: I NEED SOME HELP HERE

ok I'll try. First, is it a shallow well or a deep well? Where is the pump, in the well or above ground? do you have a tank with an air fitting on the side like you put air in a tire? does the pump go on & off rapidly? Answer these questions and we'll go from there.

RE: Pls say something romantic like this:

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
What is your future, now we have to part?
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.

Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose.
Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes.
In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret,
"Please make way for Rose," you can hear them say.

All my life I shall remember,
Oriental music and you in my arms.
Perfumed flowers in your tresses,
Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.

Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes.
Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies.
I must cross the seas again and never see you more.
Way back to my home on a distant shore.

(All my life I shall remember,)
(Oriental music and you in my arms.)
(Perfumed flowers in your tresses,)
(Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.)

Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay.
Kiss me farewell now, there's nothin' to say.
East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart.
I must leave you now but I leave my heart.

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
What is your future, now we have to part?
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.

(Rose, Rose I love you, I cannot stay.)

Hey ACE, I use to work & live in Florence KY. Cobblewood Court, ever hear of it?

RE: Memory Loss

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't remember names. I find it helps to write it down also try to associate the name with something.

The Origin of Religion

Excellent point It makes sense that the first guy who took a bite of a magic mushroom went on a hellova trip and became the witch doctor of the tribe.
You see, there is a simple logical answer to the most complex questions that plague mankind.

The Origin of Religion

No I'm not saying that at all but you bring up another interesting point. I'm sure early man also wondered about why the moon sometimes appeared to be half missing or just a crescent. It is curious that there aren't as many moon worshipers as cultures that worshiped the Sun.

The Origin of Religion

Thanks dru, funny I thought a lot about you when I was typing this thread. I had a feeling this would be right up your ally.

I often try to put myself in the mind of a paleolithic man (not a woman lol) and try to make sense out of the world he was living in with big wild animals that could tear him to shreds and wondering why water falls from the sky at times. Think about this, almost every weird unexplainable thing comes from or resides in the sky, lightening, rain, the sun moon & stars, tornados, hail stones, clouds, comets. Doesn't it make sense that early man would have thought that there is something or someone up there sending all these things down to earth? Could this be the reason there are so many references in religious texts to something almighty up in the sky?

The Origin of Religion

Ever wonder where & when human beings began to formulate religion? It was certainly long before the quasi modern notion of God, heaven, hell, Jesus Christ, Allah, Adam & Eve, Noah, Genesis etc etc. All of that was invented in the last few 1000 years. It had to be earlier than the paintings in the Laxcaux cave and the earliest pyrimids and Stone Henge. 500,000-to 1,000,000 years ago people were being buried with spear points arranged in unmistakable patterns and painted with red ocher instead of just leaving them on the ground wherever they died. This signifies a belief in a life after death.

Early man must have been terrified of things that he could never have known what they were like lightening, The stars, Sun and moon. Even death must have baffled him. Why when a person looks perfectly ok doesn't he just get up and go about his business? Why when that thumping in his chest stops does he simply go to sleep never to wake up again? Could this be why the Aztecs use to cut peoples still beating heart out of their chest? Were they trying to find the origin of life itself?

Some night when the moon is full, try to put yourself in the mind of a prehistoric person and look at the moon. It looks like a face which is always looking back at you. Wouldn't it make sense that one might assume it is some huge person keeping an eye on things? We know today that the "Face" is nothing more than craters and "Mare" (The ancients thought they were seas). I've often wondered if the moons features didn't look so much like a face if religion would ever have been invented.

Hi april4now, welcome to the club. I lived in Ozone pk. and RH, 123st off 101st ave.

RE: Songs for your mood right now (part3)

Carly Simon, That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be



This song has been playing in my head all day. It is so melancholy.

RE: How old do I look?

Normally I don't like polls but this would have been a good one. Too bad you put your age in the thread. BTW my first guess was 18, then I revised it to 19 before I read what you wrote.

RE: Would you date me?

All of the above! You asked for it!

RE: my day started off badly

It sounds like a possum but they don't usually come out in daylight.
