Ham

I dunno. The city I'm in seemed to be getting rather drab.. aging population.. while they didn't openly admit this, they did change quite a few things and implemented more than a few projects to attract youth, while a lot of the old guard still holds the purse strings. Maybe der vey could implement some of these kinds of programs and changes.. 1. Have an open bar in the auditorium. Ten or fifteen drink limit. 2. No ushers. The people sit where they wish. 3. They have the real estate to do it.. build a first class ball park on the property. Form a ball team, call them the Galloping Geezers or something.. might bring in a bigger crowd than an anniversary SNS.. 4. The use of skateboards, etc. by youth on grounds will be ENCOURAGED. Why not build one of the modern skateboard parks? 5. Broadband open WIRELESS internet service will be available in all locations on grounds.. 6. They could have a nice coffe house in the OSC.. only the finest indonesian coffee, and NO FOLGERS. Or decaff. Well.. it's a dream. "If you build it, they will come.."

He reminds me a lot of Ch*lar..

Like I said, "I'm a baaad squirrel." I was pretty nice though. You may notice I didn't flood them with a stream of insulting posts.. the girl who posted is ex-way.. why not give them the "opportunity" to dialog with some of the rest of the ex-way community? Why not give somebody an opportunity to think? That is my real age under the icon there- 51. If I was involved in an organization where one of the "elders of the church" were fiercely dedicated for twenty some years, and their advice is to run like hell from the organization, I'd step back and think a little bit. I dunno.. I've seen people try to persuade with logic.. maybe humor will get through where logic fails to..

Ironically, at the moment, there is an ad at the bottom of the page for "natural colon cleansing.".. Maybe it's a message from gawd to the ces upper ups..

hmm.. you look normal enough now.. maybe it was just astigmatism or something..

It almost scared me out of my fur here.. What did you do exie, take it to one of those places that does beauty treatments in reverse?

Larry, you might call it "testing the waters".. I only gave them an itty bitty tiny bit.. If they don't like the Squirrel's sense of humor.. like my friend says here, "petunias to them.."

Still no reply.. maybe I forgot to use deodorant this morning.. maybe I should try Scope, or Listerine..

another two days, and still no response.. I wasn't entirely expecting one, to begin with.. I'm just suprised the posts are even still there..

Hmm. The only poster here that would have a legitimate fear of microwaves would probably be Potato..

did he actually name names?

maybe some people are hopelessy addicted to fringe science, fringe history.. I don't know what the attraction is.. maybe the same kind of attraction some people have to the Jerry Springer show.. or saturday night wrestling.. I'm not saying there isn't entertainment value in it for some.. but really.. pound a guy in the face fifteen times, and produce no blood or bruises.. for MOST people, that little fact sets off a few light bulbs..

One of you there is even "wealy wealy happy"..

Nothing definitive yet, but the data would suggest that the further people get from twi physically, and the longer they are gone, the more peaceful they become.. Nero, sorry you have to deal with their crap in the present circumstance. Hope your father gets well..

I dunno.. does anybody remember those root beer barrel thingies? People who gave those out back when I was a young ham were subject to "consequences"

But.. one could pop popcorn in the light of a fission "device" as well as a campfire, could one not? I don't know if anybody here ever saw the original Dr. Who.. they went back and gave fire to the cave men.. the old woman didn't like the idea.. "in the end, fire will destroy us all".. or something like that..

no.. I think it's "only Han's hairdresser knows"..

Well, since this isn't a scientific study, as a colleague, I won't bother you with useless questions like: 1. What kind of chemicals were you consuming when you came to this conclusion? 2. What's the deal with the proclivities with green cheese..

I kinda like Sir Guesses contributions here.. it makes sense in a way.. the way I have started to look at it.. we're all so complex, so many parts of "us".. sometimes, maybe some of "us" go on a holiday or something and run amock.. I don't know how.. but I've seen somebody's core personality.. and it is light. But there are a lot of dark shadows.. "I'm too this. I'm too that. I don't have enough of this.. I don't have enough of that.." and they are all illusions..

I could launch a study, that proves the moon is actually constructed from green cheese.. darn documentation though.. gets in the way. Useless questions from my "colleagues" like: 1. what kind of chemicals were you consuming when you came to this conclusion.. 2. what's the deal with your proclivities with green cheese.. 3. ....

Not that I'm aware of. But my kids used to microwave marshmallow peeps. They'd expand to about ten times their normal size within thirty seconds or so..

That would be a new take to the parable of the prodigal son, wouldn't it? "Pa" would send out moles and stooges to fully document the unfaithful acts and deeds of the dear son..

Another thread got me on this.. thank you Rhino. But actually.. some posters think others here are always seething with rage, out to "get" "them" at all costs, etc. etc.. I thought I'd try a poll.. how do you REALLY feel?

Really, that's not a bad idea. A lot of other boards have a little "how I'm feeling today" could cover a wide range of emotions. 1. Vewy vewy peaceful, I'm having a Prozac (or equivalent) moment.. 2. Just plain peaceful. 3. slightly annoyed 4. greatly disappointed 5. I'm ready to rip loy's *&(#$@'s off..

Hmmm. Procedure, procedure.. it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.. who else in the world demands that you write a letter, take a number.. fill out an inordinate amount of paperwork or make a number of commitments.. just to stand in line, and wait. To get punched in the mouth, again.. yeah, they've "changed".. they don't use brass knuckles anymore. Now they use silver or gold plated brass knuckles..
