I'm sorry for your loss too, dear friend. How a group can define what the "proper" way of dying is kinda nuts. I think it boils down to: if you were "faithful" for years upon years.. gave rather generously.. kissed enough wrinkled rear ends, often and profusely, didn't confront evil or be responsible for "controversy", one could then have a "good" death. Even then, that varied from one case to the next. Other than that, people were slandered after death, that their unfaithfulness, sin, or something else caused it..

Should I post that over on myspace? whadya think?

Hmm. That's one MORE good reason to not be in der vey.. especially at fifty something. Maybe the youngster just needs a little training. Before you bury the "old geezer".. 1. Check to see if the body is still warm.. 2. If the old guy passes condition number one (above)- Check for a pulse, or other normally self apparent bodily functions as breathing,etc.. 3. If you just can't tell, give him a fair chance to respond. "If you feel anything when I hit you soundly in the head with a shovel, tell me.." 4. After exhausting all possibilities, then you may bury him.

Well.. since you asked.. actually though.. the youngster does make an interesting observation.. der vey is turning into a "retirement" community. He might be rude, arrogant, nasty, self absorbed and *slightly* sarcastic, but other than that he seems to be a nice guy..

Hmmm. Well, I hope at least some of you got a laugh..

I did..

more of the same reply.. "Jackpot fellowsip of Geezers"? Yeah.. maybe there's "something" "available" if you are willing to travel outside your zone.. maybe three states away. There's always the few, the elite "younger" crowd in the 150 mile zone, patiently waiting for the "geezers" to die off, so they can do something.. sheesh.. I wonder if the guy really knows the eyes of us strange, eerie internet things are upon him..

I just have a feeling.. by the time he gets there, he's gonna look not a whole heck of a lot different than what he set out to replace..

I think the ONLY reason they have ANY young, fresh upcoming talent hanging around.. is that they are sitting a tidy pile of cash.. holding it ransom for love and "affection".. young, if you call well over thirty something young, mundanehands hanging around, vying for some kind of coup.. the ONLY way he's gonna get it.. continue to kiss more than a few rather plump, wrinkled, geriatric rears.. much, and often.. until they're old enough sign off on something they don't have the mental acuity to know what they're signing.. old enough to dump somewhere, and forget where they came from..

Did you see one of the replies? Interesting.. I wonder if the kid is an innie.. sounds like it anyway.. I imagine that his opinion would be pretty typical. The "old geezers" are really "confronting the world" with da word.. between naps that is.. What a has been of an organization..

Well, I thought it did a fair job of tying up loose ends and giving some continuity to the old and newer series. It did fill in a few gaps.. the Doctor's origin, how he managed to "steal" a time machine, plus the motivating factors.. who Susan was.. why the insides of the Tardis looked so different in the movie with dr. number eight.. of course it contradicted the master's claim that he observed the eye structure of the doc proved that he was half human.. As far as "canon" is concerned here, I don't think one can find something resembling "god beathed" accuracy or anything.. If one doesn't agree, one can get in one's Tardis, go back, and "persuade" the author to change it before he's written it, can't one..

Now I know what I'll probably receive for Christmas.. well, unless someone here sends me a barely belated birthday present..

That's why I can't trust any organization on it's face value.. "oh, just get to know your leaders.." I don't know if you really can.. loy, vic et al managed to hide behind an elaborate facade.. too easy for "those kind" to hide in an organization, when it is sufficiently large, or the "members" sufficiently trusting. Maybe that's what enables them.. to this day, some posters here still insist on giving these lowlife some kind of benefit of the doubt.. I don't blame the people who were in it to do some good. Those who were aware of some of the abuse spoke up. I think the real coverup was a lot closer to the top. "Men" with conscience seared with a hot iron. gonna run a scam, I guess you need to find, or make a few goons..

Hmm. DJ might be fun.. but for me, I'd have to come back before the advent of rap. Long before..

one of them was "in between lives". I vividly remember standing before some kind of "committee".. said something to the effect of "you'd BETTER get it right this time.. moron.." probably after I dropped the egg.. Are people enjoying this, or am I telling just a tad more than they may wish to know?

likely because the vast majority, something like 99.9% of the events can be documented.

I think they just haven't sufficiently angered the "right" person, YET. With waning followers.. maybe they are finding less and less people to confront with their insanity.. gotta take it on the road..

Despite their millions.. they are a piddly second-rate organization.. a little fish in a big sea. Maybe they should keep it up.. they'll get the attention of some big bruiser of an organization to beat the snot out of them just for the principle of the thing..

She's a beautiful kitty.. is she solid black?

I dunno.. ma warned me a number of times about staying up and watching "The Outer Limits" These were probably the five most vivid dreams I had when I was a kid.. actually two others came pretty close..

Those of you who have any real expertise or training in psychology or psychiatry or anything related.. I'd LOVE to hear your interpretation..

Weird as it may sound.. I've only "incarnated" into this life five times.. that I am aware of. 1. The Jellyfish. Don't ask me why.. 2. I was one of the Penguins who dropped the egg.. the "lady" swore some kind of eternal vengeance.. 3. I remember dying in some stupid war.. probably about 1912 or so.. the "glories' of war? Bullsheet.. 4. Last one must have been short lived. I remember repairing old radios and stuff.. some kind of shyster.. 5. Now.. all I know.. this is the last time.. OK.. It's my birthday.. somebody needs to humor me..

I think I was a lot of things before I regenerated into a squirrel.. I remember a few things.. I don't know how much of it the crowd here could take of it though.. some people think I'm nuts enough as it is, already.. I remember being a jellyfish.. a very very old one, and very large. I have impressions of being eaten and devoured as I travelled.. Probably quite a few regenerations before one that resembled a human.. I think that was a more recent development.. Who knows.. like everybody else, maybe I crawled up out of the primordial slime.. maybe they just can't remember..
