TF -- are those in the Way mags/rags, and if so which ones?? I have a buncha them here, but am too lazy to do the digging -- without some guidance!

Nineteen and seventy-six -- 8 months after I took the *class*. K*is S*edgell and R*ck P*nyard were in charge of our area, in Bloomington, In. I heard a lot about the Illuminti, council on foreign relations, etc, -- but you hear that all the time in southern Indiana. Twigs then were geared up to do the *patriotic thing*, which If I recollect correct now meant witness, and sign up folks for pfal. Conspiricy talk was always (and still is) a popular subject in southern Indiana, so it was no great feat to get the *flock* to utilize that in witnessing, although the main emphasis had to be on the Word, and it's delivering qualities via pfal. We got a lot of folks into the class via the religion/politics aspect (hey -- this was Indiana University, where there were a lot of inquiring minds wanting to know), and though some stayed, and stuck around -- most walked away after taking pfal. P*nyard was a good teacher, but for the life of me --- I could never understand his wish for a drink of drambuie at the end of the day (He referenced that more than a few times in his *teachings*), until years later when I heard of docvic's love of the stuff, and put two and two together. I first got a computer in 2002, and one of the first things I looked up on the *net* was twi. Guess who I found, on NO WAY OUT?? R*ck P*nyard -- found guilty of embezzling in Colorado. So much for what he and others were teaching, back in 1976 about patriotic stuff, and the Word. Kinda went out the window (don't ya know).

Sounds like fun! You'd definitely like to have Larry there with ya -- he knows his stuff! He has over 100 or so of these suckers . Once he came out of his bedroom with a double handful of pieces and put them on the dining room table. He went back to his room, and then came out with another double handful to put on the dining room table, but he kept it separate from the first. He came back with a third double handlful, and made a third pile on the dining room table. I don't know how many pieces were there, but there were a lot, and an hour or so later --- every last piece that he brought out of his room fit together in 3 distinct parts of the puzzle, and even though those 3 parts did not fit together directly, there was not one piece left over -- every last piece he brought out, fit with all the others! We slid those 3 parts (of the bigger puzzle) onto a flat surface individually, carried them into his room for him, and slid them into the borders that he already had done. All 3 sections he had done separately at the dining room table, fit perfectly into what he had already completed in his room. Am I bragging on him?? Yup! Am I impressed? Yup! He reminds me a lot of that autistic guy in THE RAIN MAN (Dustin Hoffman - I think) who had trouble with most things in life, but could remember numbers like nobody's business. But maybe you might not like having Larry around when you and family do the jigsaw afternoons. It would be like inviting Bobby Fischer to a family chess match! :D

Dang Hap, I hadn't heard that. :( Here's the story:

Whatta goofy game!! :lol: Tried it a coupla times, and 5630 was my high score. :( (I'm leery of giving piggies food, since they usually use it for a food fight!!)

Saw that on the cable news tonight. Age 65, and died from a heart attack. I agree with what they said of him --- "He really pushed the envelope, and got away with it."

The pic I posted of the 3,000 piece puzzle is not electronic. It is *hard copy* -- one big piece of cardboard with a picture painted on it, cut into 3,000 inter-locking pieces. Larry isn't as fond of electronic puzzles as he is the kind you actually put together on the kitchen table. He has one puzzle that is around 750 pieces total, and it is a solid black square. No picture, just solid black. He did that one in 2 days. Likeaeagle -- in case you didn't know it, Larry is one of the residents at the group home I work at. Like I said he has mild mental retardation, is in his late 30's, and has the (overall) mentality of a young child (around 8 years old or so). But like I also say -- in some areas he is absolutely brilliant. He's a pretty cool guy! :)

Here's the newest hired *hand* at Heidi's. Meat on his bones, and obviously fulfilling some woman's fantasy! :P

Here's a *fer instance* --- This a 3,000 piece puzzle, and Larry can have it done (from box to completion) in 2 to 3 days. He may suffer from mild MR, but he is brilliant in other areas. :)

I pulled this up on the puter at work for one of *my guys* to do, and he finished it in less than a minute! He's used to 1,000+ piece jigsaw puzzles, and completes those in one to two days. Took me about 5 or so minutes (hint -- look for the edges), and a 1,000 piece puzzle gives me a headache to even think about it! :blink:

Why edit?? It was great! :D Joe Diffey has always been a favorite of mine.

Uh-huh, I think so. Sounds like the *cone of Greasespot* is about to hit Nevada. I might be able to call up some friends, and do a series of *Not for Prophet* concerts to help out. We could maybe travel around the region and call it the: No Strings Attached Tour Question is -- should we send the relief money to the guys, or the gals?!?!

:biglaugh: I knew that the minute I saw the title of this thread! Nothing like putting the stick in, and stirring things up. Doojable -- Mike (the originator of the thread you mentioned) has said exactly what WordWolf stated: Mike cannot be talked to about God's Word, if you don't include the pfal series. He doesn't listen to opposing points of view. I've offered to talk to him, pray for him, etc. ad in finitum, and that does not work either. *Mastering pfal* is what he promotes, and all of us were once into that up to our necks, and are now sick of it. Sure -- some found some good out of it (I did), but the overall consensus is that he is blowing smoke from a non-existant pipe. Most of his posts are addressed to OLG's, following TVT, and refusing to come to his *Table of Challenge*. If you don't know what that means, then go back, and read the 19,000 pages of the original thread (I'm being facetious here), and you will get an idea. Hey Socks -- I'm ready to get yuckalacious too!!! :dance: (don't look for me at Heidi's though -- I wouldn't want to be confused with one of the *staff* there!! :D :D :D

Damn. Here I am on the beach again. Just like my last job with Enron.

I don't like it when anyone gets murdered. Life snuffed out. It's senseless, useless, heartbreaking. :( I didn't care for John's *politics*, but I did love his music. Best *fiddle tune* the Beatles ever wrote, was GET BACK. It's easy to jam for hours on that one! :) 25 years ago, and no I don't remember what I was doing when I *heard the news*. Probably was at twig that night. :unsure:

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on it's face. The egg, looking a bit pi$$ed off grabs the sheet, rolls over and says ... "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question now didn't we."

Amen! He's the wind beneath our wings. B) Thank you for your dedication and hard work, Paw. :) David

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! Sounds eerily like the last teaching I heard at the BRC!! (Was sasquatch *in rez* back in the late '70's???)

On this anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, I'd like to say thanks to your son for continuing the defense of our country. (And mom's with gray hair are no less a patriot!) :) My prayers go with him. David

Hap's right about the *first edition* books. Those are the one's that have real value. I used to have several 1st editions of fiction (published by Hartcourt, Brace, Javonovich --NY) and each one of them had a double paper cover protecting the book itself. The paper covers were duplicates of what the actual book cover looked like. And like Hap said, their condition must be pristine (looks like it's never been read) for it to be worth mega bucks. But perhaps you have some *good stuff* there. Hope so!!

Digi -- Raf shows up here time and again, but not his *evil twin* Rif. :lol: I've learned a lot here in the *basement* from others who hold viewpoints very different to mine, yet they made sense so were worth checking out, and learning from. Civility is common here, as disagreement is also, but discussions of one's personal beliefs are not to be taken lightly, therefore courtesy is usually extended by all to other posters. (IMO) It's a treat to hear other ideas, and consider them with discussion, rather than arguement. Hope you do hang out now and again. Always nice to hear a new viewpoint. :) David

Belle -- where did you get these statistics from?? (something seems skewed here). David

Jack-in-the-Pulpit --- This plant even looks like a *guilty projection* about to happen! ok --- back to topic.

(short derail ---- ) When working at Morgan-Monroe State Forest (Indiana -- 1975-78) a coupla my co-workers were into herbs, and dug up jack-in-the-pulpit roots, ginseng roots and other stuff as well any time they found a plant. One was curious, and bit into the jack-in-the-pulpit root raw, and yes -- his mouth was on fire for the rest of the afternoon! Watered Garden was surely right about that!! Indian turnip is Jack-in-the-Pulpit (one of my favourite plants, next to the Columbine).

Ishtar was the *goddess* easter celebrates.
