A big city lawyer went duck hunting in rural Tennessee. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked what he was doing. The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell into this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it." The old farmer responded, "This is my property and you're not coming over here." The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the United States, and if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you for everything you own." The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently you don't know how we settle things in Tennessee." We settle small disagreements like this with the "three kick rule." The lawyer asked, "What is the three kick rule?" The farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on back and forth until someone gives up." The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to bide by the local custom. The farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel-toed work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth. The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to the rear end sent him face-first into a fresh cow pile. The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet. Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "OK, now it's my turn." The old farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."
Most of my Life. Feeling out of step with the Universe. Feeling lonely in a Crowd. Having to hug yourself,because you are the only one you can get close to.
But to Isolate my self also was not the answer. I had to get out,find people with similar Interests and Issues. I was very fortunate,blessed I'd say,to find a Twelve Step Fellowship that literally saved my life. Since I don't know exactly what the problems are that troubling you,your best bet is to search the Web for Twelve Step Fellowships and chose what suits you best. I wish you all the Best for a Recovery Conrad
Not sure if that has much to do with Law-Enforcement.If he weren't a Cop he could have still gotten hold of a Gun,a Knife,an Axe or whatever Implement he could have fancied to do the killings with.
when I see young people trying to make it,my first hope is,that they are not going to piss it against the Wall like I did for too long. The last thing they need from me is impediments of any kind. I'd would have to be stupid and insecure up to my Eyeballs to think that someone a Generation and a Half younger than me could be a serious "Danger" to me.
I don't rate Guys on priciple.But something is going on. If my Ratings keep dropping the way they've been doing,CS better institute a Subzero Rating System. So,in the words of the Bartster:"I didn't do that" Sorry though that someone is trying to steal your Thunder.
isn't it kind of too late to throw the Book at them After they have killed someone with their Criminal Behaviour? The penalties foe Racing ought to be high enough for them to think twice before they engage in that Stupidity again.
Yes,points well taken,Laughter eases many situations and it would indeed be a dull world without it. Can't say I quite agree with point 1). Might be that I am getting tired having Fun poked at me;whether by myself or others matters little nowadays. Doesn't mean I won't laugh if someone makes an especially witty observation of me.But it's not the Rule any longer,but rather the exception. But I like to laugh,but I am afraid that sometimes it's just at the wrong time.Then I get these sideways glances saying:Wonder why that one is so goofy,or worse,being asked about my strange sense of humor.
Ever tried the Human Horseshoe? Try touch your Toes with your Finfertips without bending your Knees.If you succeed and are able to unbend,OK,if not,you've just become the Human Horseshoe.
Be afraid,Be very afraid! No,I ain't going to try it.Think I am mad
similar thing happened to me in........yeah,well,the place where I was going to spend the rest of my days. Was from the wrong Country with the wrong ethnical background.
Looking at Humanity,there must have been a whole Bunch of Creators,and they were definitely not of like Mind,how else would one explain the diversity of Humans on this Earth. The curious thing is though,something I have read a while back,that the Hebrew "RUACH" Breath,Spirit,Wind is the Female aspect of God,and if there were many Lesser,Squabbling Gods,"RUACH" might be the Principle holding this Universe together. Maybe not too bad an arrangement after all.
RE: BRUSH OFF TO THE EXTREME
to parphrase William Shakespeare:"An A..hole by Any Other Name,Is Still An A..hole."Give yourself some more time.
The Pox ought to get "Insensitve Horses Patoots" like him.
