Well, I am thankful. I can never die. If I should try, there will be a collection officer there, with either a shovel to beat life back into a failing heart, or an officially donated emergency defibrillator.. Yes, I will be teaching this fall.. there could be worse things.. sowie.. I need another half a bottle of cheap merlot.. Sorry I'm so bad tonight. Just ignore me..

I really wish Hayes would read this kind of commentary.. what kind of society do we really want here.. I'm one of the Few Chosen Salmon that made it all the way up the stream, to find $400 a month here.. well.. I should be thankful. the Student Loan people will expect payment according to what I can pay. That will officially end up being about 399.00 a month.. sowy. Hope I didn't ruin the theme here. I was betting heavily, that our country would choose to rebuild..

as bad as I hate the Big Corporation.. some of them here, like Dow Corning, have stood up at the plate.. if they want the Best of the Best on their staff.. well, they seem to have agreed to the cost.. da way on the other hand, whimpered and ran away with its tail between it's legs into the night..

Sponsorship is a big deal nowadays.. One has to have enough financial assets to provide for medical treatment for the one applying, in the case of extreme medical emergency.. Enough proven annual income.. the organization would have to assume a lot of liability.. today for sure. 1979? Probably about 3/4 of the same.

I can understand the reasonable questions.. a defrocked *minister* offering foreign "students" some kind of sanctuary here.. under the guise of some kind of *work* study visa or something.. there were probably some real concerns about things like sponsorship, from the Big(?) Organization.. that entails a lot of liability..

Hmmm. My dad had access to one of the original Xerox copiers as early as 1967.. I remember the thing. It was about the size of a medium sized closet.. but just wonder where that was heading.. government pencil heads? Wanting information about foreign "students" going into the corps? what were they looking for? Evidence of international slave labor or something?

Sooo. What happened to the crisis here? Has it been quietly (as possible) resoundedly struck over the head with a shovel, and buried? any official pronouncements? and more importantly.. are hard working people STILL sending a significant portion of their income to this outfit? I looked at the first post.. it has been almost.. FOUR YEARS. Any questions answered yet? Maybe they are still working on it.. so much for transparency..

are you a devil possessed Squirrel? Sure they'll take you. I will even give you the appropriate documentation..

I wonder if they will accept devil possessed Squirrels with master's degrees in mathematics..

I've offered to "award" a few of these, but only one user here was brave enough to give me his home address to send it to..

Yes. An attractive young lady.. almost hissed when I called him wierwille. "that's DOCTOR wienerville.." pathetic.

The mamas and the papas.. I read a few things here.. the Mamas ended up being the mamas.. the rest of the group .. well, we must be the Papas..what else could they be..

Hey, Java Jane.. how are you doing?

Just Curious.. did you ever encounter a "father".. "priest".. etc.. worth their salt? I almost encountered one, once..

The problem here.. there are still among us who believe the victoid was even washed, to begin with.. Bleach does not always work.. don't blame it on Jesus..

actually, he actually earned a Master's degree in some kind of theology.. I'll give him that much, no more.. He had delusions of grandeur.. I don't have the stamina to acquire a doctorate in mathematics. well, maybe I do. But it would take about ten years or so.. What if.. I were to incorporate the first church of the Math Squirrel.. all of those old math books taught me what. I studied for decades.. "well kids. all those old books did was to teach me what OTHERS said about mathematics. Just steered me around da truth.." "I took all of those math books, starting from Euclid, and deposited them in the local town Gehenna, where da fire never ceases.." sure. Now I know math like it hasn't been known since da first century..

but to stay on topic. He was a dirty doctor, wasn't he? And it is a very interesting reaction one gets.. "dr. said." "no, he wasn't a doctor.." "that's not fair. He was cleansed by the blood of Jesus. " His "credentials" were not holy, or honorable. "what's that have to do with anything?"

If the victoid was "cleansed".. how come he stayed so dirty? The "finished work of Jesus Christ" seems to have "failed" or has no relevance to herr vicster.. I mean, if he's a Poster Child for what Jesus can do for someone- on a practical, if not just spiritual level.. if I were Jesus, I'd sue for defamation of character..

well.. I'm being kind here. No idea why.. I really don't have a reason to be.

who is the waterboy, and who is the quarterback? I'm just trying to figure out your argument here.. what is technically wrong with being a water boy? the "quarterback" once said something about giving a nice refreshing cold drink of water to someone, once.. what reward is there.. so far.. all I have been offered here is a glass of vinegar. That is OK.. I mean. If that is the best you have to offer..

Christ. This character was voted in because he claimed to do the job, and deny the salary. Free Beer. I mean.. if it is free.. does that mean it is supposed to be good? Free Beer.. don't complain.. just don't look for the little tab where one can enter one's assessment of da beer..

Interesting.. Sounds like.. a brief encounter I had with some uneducated character who thought I wanted the governor of Michigan impeached. No.. the technical term is "recalled". That is, the people who casted their vote, have drastically been betrayed, or legitimately change their mind..

from the job opportunities in Michigan.. that is not far from the truth. I got in at a local community college.. with *almost* the degree. So it is slim pickings.. until January. Will, or can a Squirrel survive the freezing cold, and only teaching four credits worth of classes until January? That is the BIG question here..

.Are we really sure of that? I mean not THE doctor, but wienerville. I still am of the opinion.. he could swing either way. But with the culture of the fifties.. he outdid himself to prove his masculinity(?).. his *ministry* of masculinity(?) was reincarnated in rosie.. again, just a thought. Take it or leave it..

What a PHD would cost me would be about five years of labor. Very hard labor.. even with a fellowship, or teaching assistantship. It's practically slave labor.. How old was the victoid when he got his "phd"? OH. Just wonder.. the victoid was not even an ordained clergyman either was he? Wasn't he defrocked?
