my family

[willoweyes]

I must tell you, that in my family, "nice" is about the worst insult you can give. Like for example, when Doublecross's dad was mad at him, he said, "When you die, they'll put on your tombstone, "he was a NICE guy."'

and the word "nice" in that sentence was spoken in the most greasy and silabant extended "c" pronounciation imaginable--just in case he didn't realize it was not a complement.

maybe that has something to do with my outlook.

I got suspicious about this post when I saw the word: "silabant." Apparently it's "sibilant" -- anyway new word for me. thanks.

I still disown grammar no matter what people say. It's stupid:

[willoweyes]

Oh, Drew, thanks! This was hilarious!

spelling was never my forte--but one should avoid using big words if one does not know how to spell. It's just plain taky if one doesn't.

Or as someone once said, "People will gawk." (another one of my favorite words).

[drew hempel]

Yeah people gawk at me all the time because my Adam's Apple pulsates when they are soaking up my electromagnetic energy. Here's my latest "on the ground" report:

Patrick -- I appreciate you sharing again and so I'll try to clarify what I'm saying. For example I just biked from work across town. Parked my bike and then sat in full-lotus at an unused bus-stop at a busy intersection. Not sure how long -- maybe an hour -- but I do know it was about 4 internal climaxes with the last one being a "full" climax. That's how internal climaxes work -- the first two or three are build-ups and the final one is like the typical male external climax.

So that exorcised the stress from work -- or from posting this stuff online, etc. Back to the normal euphoric self. It's just like -- I'll take the machine out for a spin -- kind of thing.

Now then as for "sound" -- again the issue is resonating sound into ultrasound, as I already mentioned. This doesn't happen when you are using western tuning because it doesn't rely on the natural overtones which violate the commutative property -- they're INHERENTLY asymmetric whereas even quantum mechanics (the wave-particle duality you mentioned) is converted to classical symmetry via the Poisson Bracket.

this is more about my family. so my wacky 63-year-old-5'1" napolean complexed firstborn son in a jewish family labelled genius suspected of being the promised One--brother in law has gone to a survival school in New Jersey. Yeah, that's right. and in stead of teaching some skills that might pay off in the hear-and-now, they get their big-money-paying johns i mean customers to smear themselves with mud, dablle on a few leaves for added verisilmilitude, and scurry about in the undergrowth, supposedly learning how to conceal themselves from predatory Horrrormungers.

boy do i wish i could be a fly on the wall there.

like i told him, there's plenty of mud right here in Texas.

[Isaiah Mpski]

Plenty of people and toxins too.
It is no wonder I got sick in Galveston with all the petrochemicals coming down river from Texas City.

[sidecross]

willoweyes if your son is 63 years old, I tip my cap to you; you must be even older than me! ;)

[Isaiah Mpski]

She's probably talking about her brother in law SC.

I hope before you decide to recycle yourself you take the wife down and you and her get a Carl's Burger and some onion rings and shake.

You deserve them.

:p:D:razz::)

very skillful icon work suebee

look on the bright side, sidecross, the next world may not be any better, so might as well settle for Carl's and the shake and rings. The other bit of good news I'm happy to report is this: In only two months the NFL cranks up again.:D

I am a big baseball fan and we have through cable a ‘Baseball Package’ that lets us see many game choices each day. I am very happy even though the N.Y. Mets are going thru a rough patch.

justplaincross is not a vegan eater and enjoys chicken and dairy products. I do not miss the items you and Isaiah listed. In fact if I ate them now they would probably just make me ill. ;)

[suebee]

you can bet your bippie theyd make you sick sidey. dont do it. i was laughing at isaiah's "recycle yourself" comment. and those are emoticons c-man! im trying to practice my buddha nature.
i came back to this thread after emailing back and forth (all day on this f. computer, jeeze how do people spend all day on these things?????) with my brother about the state of the nation and i am wondering how i ever got into this family. how did people i know and love turn to the dark side? how did i escape is the real question.
hey i have a week to use up on a timeshare good anywhere in the world by this august - anyone have any ideas? sidey you and the missus want to go with me to okla in the hybrid? 25 hours from san jose straight across but do you think there are any timeshares in oklahoma? damn those enhanced fujita 5 tornados are a kind of repellent though. maybe end of august? big bug season. what do you guys think? my girlfriend wants to go to alaska but you need to take a train or bus through denali now and you cant see the inside passage except by boat so a cruise/land tour is really the only way to do alaska. how about mexico? calgary and banff and the columbia icefields parkway - heaven on earth? how about pashupati valley in india/katmandu? hey c-man there is supposed to be real magic there - ascetes (sp?) or adepts or whatever they are called levitating. right in front of you.
yeah i love football but jerrry's gone and he was poetry in motion. i kind of like college football now. they just bounce off the ground.
sorry guys too much wine. ;)

[Isaiah Mpski]

Hey love.If you could get a timeshare in Greece,I would pay the airfare.
On second thought anywhere from Manzanillo northward to Mazatlan would be fine with us.

No I think SC is stuck there in front of that air conditioner dependant too much on the electrical grid to miss a good ball game.Gott love him and his Kentucky Fried Chicken loving woman.

[sidecross]

No Isaiah I am not a heavy user on the grid. We have no A/C and use little power. Most of my listening to books or music is on a MP3 player run on a single rechargeable AAA battery. Most of our power is consumed by a refrigerator.

We even recycle water; all water used to rinse is saved and reused in the garden that justplaincross takes care of. My vehicle has less than 13,000 miles on it for the past 8 ½ years.

We have not eaten in a restaurant of any kind in over four years.

[Isaiah Mpski]

Gee Whiz Sidecross,I don't know whether to try and send you a medal or what.
Maybe a coupon for discounted dinner at Long John Silver's or Joe's Crab ShacK?

Yes,you utilize and organize things like more people wish they could.You and JPC are to be commended and god save you when the BIG ONE comes..

[willoweyes]

It's pretty ironic, that when i grew up in the fifties, that phrase labelled a person who would take back what they had given.

sounds like my uncle's Law of 180 degrees might apply hear; ie the truth is far different than it seems. ultimately different. to the limits of understanding different.

isaiah that website is good! san blas has changed some since i was there with a bunch of surfers in college. all i remember is jungle roads jungle everywhere except the beach and federales on the beach shooting at sharks in the water around the surfers. then turning on us when they found a roach in the ashtray of our plywood camper chevy truck. v. scary. i started to absent mindedly walk towards the water (we were parked right on the beach ten feet from the water) and one fed pointed his big machine gun at me and told me to stay away from the water. they were taking everything out of the truck and camper. i kept telling them we had the pot in san diego and i personally put the roach in the ashtray and forgot about it, and that we werent stupid enough to bring drugs to mexico, we knew it would be very stupid to do that. si, es la verdad, es la verdad. (i dont know how to do the emphasis thingie over the i of si.) luckily we didnt have any more pot in the truck and when we got back to the "hotel" (a lovely tile building in the middle of the nowhere jungle) we flushed everything away. jeeze im getting anxiety just remembering this. another thing about san blas - mosquitos as big as butterflys. also invisible jellyfish in mazatlan stinging my surfer friends. crazy trip. only place i ever surfed, mazatlan and san blas. lets not go there.

[Isaiah Mpski]

Yeah SB,I've looked into the situation and the Mexican law reads no foreigner can hold title to land within 30 KM of the coast.I haven't read the law close enough to see of lakefront counts as coast.

Obviously Lake Aquamilpa is the place to be.
As many acres as we can get,along with a hot spring.
Sixteen ft alligators and all.:hmm:

Any serious investors out there?I have some oil and gas wells fer sale Willow in Carter County.
Nine wells drilled in the section.Three of them got oil.The well is in the city of Ardmore.Bout played out though and hopefully re-drilled soon.Will sale both cheap.
