RE: Theory

Thanks a million for this sage post. I was just talking to a friend the other day about this topic. Being questioning and possessing an analytical mind is not confrontational, it’s academic. Huge difference..

RE: Follow the Leader

Boo— hows it goin’, Mr.?

RE: Big Money

Much wisdom in this.. we can’t eat paper, right? Money isn’t worth anything unless it’s spent. Remember, Manhattan was purchased for about $26.00 in shells and beads..

RE: If a uneducated man or woman here in CS .

Peace, my friend...roses for YOU

RE: A folk song

Hugs to the moon, U. R. Such a way cool friend..

RE: A folk song

fragments:

In The Big Rock Candy Mountain
You never change your socks
And there’s little streams of alcohol
A-tricklin’ down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There’s a lake of stew
One of whiskey, too
( you can paddle all around in a big canoe)
In The Big Rock Candy Mountain
I’m goin’ to stay
Where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk
Who invented work
In The Big Rock Candy Mountain

RE: Dublin moving forward with self driving vehicles

I am 100% AGAINST driverless vehicles. Totally.

RE: Big Money

I hear you...but gee, I’d like the opportunity to test it out, anyway. I believe that happy wealthy people were probably happy, anyway— before the wealth. I think how you “get there”, matters, too. Born into it doesn’t give you something to bounce it against...being poor and then working your way up and out gives a different perspective. I started out ( in life) just above poverty, had many lean ‘salad’ days, worked my way through college, and probably settled somewhere between lower- middle to just above, middle class. I’LL TAKE IT!

“Enough is a banquet”

RE: If a uneducated man or woman here in CS .

Credit where credit is due— this was coined by George Bernard Shaw— he said “ adapt” instead of “ conform”, which could slightly alter..but the gist of it is the same...

RE: If a uneducated man or woman here in CS .

Not meaning to generalize— people frequently have a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” outlook. Consider this: a goose quill and berry juice “work” for writing; kerosene lamps “work” for lighting, etc...

“The reasonable man conforms to his environment. The unreasonable man attempts to have his environment conform to him. Therefore, all progress depends upon the unreasonable man”.

RE: Human rights violation

It depends. There are actually men’s nursing uniforms of short pants and short sleeves. Many Australian businessmen wear very good looking “ short suits” to work, especially during the hottest season. You don’t see it much in U.S., or at least not in the PNW...

RE: If a uneducated man or woman here in CS .

A perfect point , actually. It goes to show that a country’s culture is not always indicative of the political climate.

RE: Words

of course, it’s always best to take the high road:

You say, “May the best luck follow you all of your life”
Under your breath: (but never catch up with you..)

You say, “May the rain fall softly on your fields”
Under your breath: (to ease the hell fire you’re headed for..)

RE: Words

It can seem like a “catch 22”— if you stop to think a moment, the other person thinks they’ve one- upped you, frequently saying “what’s the matter, cat got your tongue..” or the like. Can’t win.. lately in Life, I think before I speak. Better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it...

Favorite “Little House On The Prairie” episode

You cool, lovie...

Favorite “Little House On The Prairie” episode

S’alright, love...those 70’s shows kind of melted into each other—-“The Brady Bunch” and “The Partridge Family” for instance. Hey, I want to ask you a question about two very similar movies—“The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”, and “To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar”—- a bartender friend once told me that “To Wong Foo...” stole the idea from “Priscilla” (Australian made) but didn’t say whether there was a copyright or brand infringement, etc...do you happen to know?

Favorite “Little House On The Prairie” episode

The Waltons.

Although I watched it, and found it interesting, I have a confession: I cannot STAND Richard Thomas. Either in or out of character. Just something about him rubs the wrong way. I saw him on a talk show after the series ended— he came across as arrogant/condescending. The way he talks even grinds on my nerves. I’d sooner hear a witch drag her fingernails across a blackboard. Dang I can’t stand John-Boy. What a p.o.s. Ok, I’m done

Favorite “Little House On The Prairie” episode

Been there— saw the gunfight, drank beer out of a tin cup, bought a white porcelain bolo tie ( steer skull) wrapped in rattlesnake skin. It was a great vacation. Also went up to Virginia City. One really great time for about a week..

RE: Giant

So, I would try that another way— like, for example, “I wish that every time I play the lottery I win the grand jackpot”. That way, I’m not exactly wishing for more wishes—-

RE: What about...Strangers sending strange messages?

I think the strangest ones I get, and it happens frequently enough, are from men who, when I read their profiles, say they’re looking for a woman. Now, I suppose it’s nice to be approached for friendship, but my own profile is very clear of who I am and what I’m looking for...

RE: Do you understand the world and the people in it.........overall...........?

People have cashed in their liberty for comfort and convenience. It’s that simple.

RE: HON MAYO!!!!!!

And here I thought you were calling me, chara maithe..!

Favorite “Little House On The Prairie” episode

Still watching in syndication...Michael Landon was one of my very favorite people...the episode I liked the very most was the one where Albert feigned blindness so his real father would not want him, and he could be adopted by the Ingalls... a way feel good one!

RE: Law of Attraction

Even though The Law Of Attraction is not a proven, ie, still a theory or pseudo-science, I believe there’s something to it. Jmo

RE: Do you understand the world and the people in it.........overall...........?

Some of us ‘read’ other people better ...I believe I do a fair to above average job...my red flags and intuitions are usually spot-on. I knew when a person close to me was marrying a crumb...sure enough, they’re in the middle of a complex, heated divorce. My intuitions are durable...but I understand that many are tricked/fooled, and it HAS happened to me...but rarely. I don’t know the recipe...just be very, very alert. People who yammer on a lot about themselves are generally not good partners...there is no one deciding factor.

RE: Who Is This Person?

Elsa lanchester, or Manchester, can’t remember...

RE: 9/11 Is the truth out there?

Thats my favorite Irish song— you’re so awesome..

RE: 9/11 Is the truth out there?

after the county, I believe it’s a way of saying “ the center of my heart...”

RE: 9/11 Is the truth out there?

Hello my good buddy— yes, the world gets harder to live in every day. But always remember that the loveliest flowers break through concrete.

RE: 9/11 Is the truth out there?

Eisenhower coined the phrase, “Military Industrial Complex”. About 70 years ago. Seen “The Pentagon Papers”? Etc... wars and conflicts generate cash flow—- its a hell of a deal...literally...
