I dunno. All this talk about disobedience and all.. just what I've observed.. people do what they happen to be.. for the most part.. "crunch time" is coming.. if it isn't already here.. what will you do?

it would be nice to have something I could not contain. Besides an environmental disaster or something..

they didn't even ask me where I stood.. with administration policies or any such nonsense, before giving me some consideration here.. scary, isn't it? :)

The last physics professor I had.. he described some people being lost somewhere, on the Amperian loop.. Its out there, somewhere..

very interesting.. so it's been (too many to count) years since I left. And not one Representative of da way, have I heard from. Perhaps I should be thankful.. last year, I failed to claim a tax credit. The GOVERNMENT actually took the time, the computer wherewithal, and a genuine first class postage stamp, to search ME out.. what is wrong here? I thought the government was Evil. Didn't give a damn about the "ordinary" folk.. I don't want this to end up in politics and such. but when a nameless, faceless government has more regard for an individual, than da way of holiness.. where do we go, from here..?

wow.. has it really been close to five years since the next to next to the next to last post here? Seems like yesterday..

"we have your best interests at heart.." and I don't hear from the numbnuts who ran the "work" here.. for how long? Lost track of the years.. that is a debt, isn't it? then the government unleashes the bloodhounds from Hell to find me to give me a tax refund.. comparing the two, da way, and the Federal government.. who proved themselves to "have my best interests at heart.."? when a most secular organization can out-do gawd's "best".. its kind of pathetic, no? Time for a new thread I think..

ha! Well, sometimes that's how end up some the best destinations.. maybe that's what got on ha's nerves.. the very thought that da ministry's fifteen percent was languishing in a government vault somewhere.. what a frigging moron.. and what was *best* for MY family at the time, was to have a rather large check arrive in the middle of February.. I was stupid enough to give over ten percent on the gross.. they didn't get a cut on the refund..

let me offer a scary alternative. No, the "old nature" is just a what is the word.. its just an illusion. how does light shine, within the darkness.. light does what it is..

I'll be polite here. F.U. *mr(?)* allen.. Mr.(?) linder, or pudgy replacement, please relate said message to said party..

Very interesting how these older thread still get a vote..

maybe, just maybe.. to stay on topic here.. who needs a stinking 1.20 to toss in the horn of plenty, when one can purchase the secrets of the universe.. in broad daylight..

Here is a link to a device, with only one active component.. does the same thing. Just needs commercial power to operate, i.e. 120 volts.. or whatever the British equivalent required.. I have one of these as well.. from the estate of a dear, dear friend.. http://www.heathkit.nu/heathkit_nu_GD-1B.html vacuum tubes always work, I guess.. real radios glow in the dark..

what I find interesting.. we have a device, with two "active" components. One "regular" transistor, and one field effect transistor, in the metering circuit.. two itty bitty stinking diodes.. and it can do so much.. I could use this thing to find the length to a fault in an undisclosed length of coaxial cable.. other words, I could measure the length of cable, or the length of cable, to the spot somebody has hacked into it to get information.. and we have microprocessors, with billions of active devices on board, that need "guidance" to figure it out.. very, very interesting..

here is a link to the Dip Meter.. http://www.heathkit.nu/heathkit_nu_HD-1250.html If I listened to Uncle Howie.. I would not have had one of these.. most likely anyway. the Tunnel Dipper was a piece of junk.. the HD-1250's predecessor.. not because of the tunnel diode oscillator. That was brilliant.. it was the damned leaky germanium transistors in the amplifier and metering circuit.. the novelty was that they would run off of a single 1.5 volt battery.. just have to keep replacing the power transistors, year after year.. I have a few tunnel diodes around here, somewhere.. supposedly they are rad hard. In other words.. if we are ever nuked, they might still work..

I dunno. Of course uncle(?) howies advice made a little sense.. but if one chose to have the minimum deduction from their meager pay.. figure, what. One has about $12.00 more a month. Now at 2 percent interest, if one is "lucky".. well, unless you play it at the Casino or debilish stock market.. how much "benefit" does the ordinary, out living (almost) in da street believer realize from said advise? but for some people, the plan actually WORKED. Generally, I took the refund, stocked up on food and such for the family, and *maybe* got some electronic something to build or implement.. I still have my Heathkit HD-1250 solid state Dip Meter.. pretty nifty little device. Still use it over twenty years after building it.. the government tends to be rather "diligent" nowadays.. they actually chased ME down last year to give me a refund that I didn't realize I had coming.. whoda thought.. with that kind of diligence.. I'd rather they owed me.. better record than from some others who still owe me, over twenty years later..

I agree with Excie..

Welcome So Crates.. consider yourself lucky when I pass from this world.. they will figure out some way to infiltrate the after-life to collect from me as well.. might be a running joke with me.. but I think they've figured it out. Find an absolute Devil of a student loan collector, and an absolute Saint. Give them both strict orders to collect from me, before shooting both of them in the head.. Anyway.. welcome to the Cafe.. I hope the service here is pleasant.. *waiter, waiter.. forget the coffee. a glass of Merlot for my friend..*..

sorry.. I was one of the impossibles..

Please don't call it impossible.. anything is possible.. :D

what does it mean, indeed.. what it means to me is for those to LET me forgive them.. I would love to have the "opportunity".. to allow others to forgive me.. scary thoughts.. :)

or to be even more bold.. a grand tradition, passed from one lifetime to the next.. Ha! Do you REALLY want more? maybe its karma.. you get da answers, one painful (but SOMETIMES) meaningful post at a time..

sorry.. it isn't the x.. at the end up of x, at the end of x.. where do we want to begin from here, from the biginning of here..

scary question I know.. but where do angels abide.. If you want to abide where I am at.. wonderful. If not.. what do we do now..
