RE: Travelling alone...

I did the same for about 4 years too and I just love ride solo

RE: Great Old Forgotten Music

Woody Guthrie

RE: Scenario...

That ain't gonna happen...I think the answer is "mine had six but the wheels fell off". (by the way if you keep slappin' yerself in the head you won't be able to get you hat on )

RE: Scenario...

Not enough information...what do I have at my disposal (weapons etc)?
Reality rears it's ugly head, if they were hungry they would probably be fighting amongst themselves and a pride of lions is usually only a mature male and several females and offspring so there would be a lot of fighting for prestige and position among the mature males for the females. Maybe enough to plan an escape via the treetops

RE: Which song is your favorite?

Song for you by Leon Russell ...great lyrics

RE: Travelling alone...

I prefer to travel alone most of the time as I'm not responsible for anyone but me. When I travel by motorcycle it works out better as I'm usually the one everyone looks to as ride leader and that can wear a little thin some times so by myself is more of a pleasant experience. You just have to make sure you have done your due diligence on your equipment so that you are less vulnerable to break down.

RE: int.....2.....birthday girl.

Happy Birthday my fellow canuck, I hope you have a wonderful day

RE: IQ

I don't remember the exact number but I'm in the top 5%. I think that an IQ is like money...it doesn't matter how much you have, it's what you do with it that matters

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYBEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Kaybee, hope it's a terrific day.

RE: Break-up Song

Put another log on the fire...Willie Nelson, Waylong Jennings

RE: who is the boss your computer or you

I did that very thing last night with one of the computers at work
it seemed to work though it made funny noises for a while

RE: Alcohol The Killer Of The World

But when a mosquito bites an alcoholic the mosquito dies

RE: Alcohol The Killer Of The World

Congratulations on 5 years of continuous sobriety...one day at a time

RE: Alcohol The Killer Of The World

You still don't understand Jac but then again you aren't an alcoholic. It's NOT the respect and compassion of professionals and others that means anything to a recovering alcoholic it's the respect and compassion of his fellow recovering alcoholic that matters and the only thing I know of that works 100% if the recovering alcoholic WANTS it to. The program of recovery that I experienced started in it's early days in a treatment centre (28 day program) but the "professionals" involved were all recovered alcoholics. I respect your intelligence and you seem to be one who has a good wealth of training and understanding of the human condition but this is a horse of another colour and I for one don't trust this NEW approach to treating alcoholics.

RE: Alcohol The Killer Of The World

I think bungallow55 sees it in the right context now, however this is a medically recognized disease where sensibility has no role. It's a case of people being sick rather than people being bad. When an aloholic takes a drink something happens to them that doesn't happen to you. It sets up an allergic reaction where the alcoholic is mentally obsessed and physically compelled to drink. Total abstinence is the only answer that has been found to work. I don't mean to belabor the point, it's just something that I am somewhat of an expert about.

RE: Alcohol The Killer Of The World

I'm glad to hear it bung...it's a very touchy subject but you didn't hurt my feelings, just my sensitivity. Apology accepted my friend.

RE: Alcohol The Killer Of The World

Why thank you my dear...I don't say it to impress anyone...but it sure impresses the hell outa me

RE: Alcohol The Killer Of The World

I find your "joke" to be in extemely poor taste. This is a disease that ruins more peoples lives than everything else on this planet. Your ignorance and insensitivity is astounding...sign me 28 years clean and sober

RE: Plenty of Fish

Not if the factory ship fishing continues there isn't. They vacuum up everything and throw out what they don't want (which is extremely wasteful) and the volumes involved are obscene

RE: Very Advanced Weaponry By Military..Like The Reaper

So fill me in here chief...what exactly are you saying? You wish the good old USofA didn't have such sophisticated weaponry or you think they will turn them on the citizens of America. What should we be caring about...that we will overcome the enemy with modern weapons or that the US is being so secretive with their military? You seem like chicken little running around going "the sky is falling, the sky is falling".

RE: lastnight i had a dream i was sittin next to davy jones !

Hope it wasn't in Davey Jones locker (under the sea).

RE: most dangerous group in world is

agreed...anything "radical"

RE: most dangerous group in world is

Censors...just love people telling me what to think

RE: Trust!!

There are really only two ways to love

Conditionally...the other person must "earn" your love (if you loved me you would...) and is fraught with jealousy and pain

Unconditionally...you love someone for who they are and forgive them (I know who you are, I know what you've done and I love you anyway) and is by far a better way to love.

That doesn't mean they can continually test the relationship by bad behavior as you must love yourself enough to know when to cut them free to keep growing on their own. You still love them (as I have found that kind of love never dies) but from a safe distance.

It's you call and I wish you luck

RE: Yourself please

Here in Toronto it's more like a cult

I think our guys like to hit the golf course early, they do it every year

RE: Yourself please

It's simple enough...look it up on the web, there is everything there to explain it to you. Not a religion that asks you to believe anything without showing you how to experience it for yourself first hand. Good luck Ali..

RE: Were the old cartoons as 'dangerous' as the psychologists claim?

I was more attracted to Ginger LOL but Mary Ann was kinda cute too

RE: Yourself please

The last "religion" that I was involved with was Eckankar (the study of dreams and soul travel)
My new lady, however, is a Protestant minister so there may be hope for this old heathen yet. As stated previously I'm spiritual not religious

RE: Were the old cartoons as 'dangerous' as the psychologists claim?

"Ah say, ah say there son, listen up..." Foghorn Leghorn was a riot
Another favorite was the young buzzard "I'm bringin' home a baby bumble bee...nope nope nope not gonna do it"

As an old animater I loved those cartoons, but as they were drawn by adults the messages weren't really for the kids. There is a single cell (a cell is a drawing painted on a plastic sheet) in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs where Dopey runs under Snow White's dress but as the action is too small in the sequence of cells creating the motion it can't be seen by the naked eye. Just a little animater humour. It would take about 1000 drawings per minute to create the old cartoons. The old cartoons are way better than the new computer generated stuff imho
