Nice. Very nice. :)

Welcome to GreaseSpot, Rick. May I say, it will never happen (a surge of youth that is). Those at the top, will be loathe to relinquish power to those who might actually bring *truth* to what is now nothing more than a 3rd rate religion that they decry on their SNS tapes. Twi has descended to that depth, and make no mistake about it, they will not be resurrected anytime soon, because they have beeen in the *arm-chair of the Lord* for so long, they see no reason to change. Twi has become all that they have ever preached against, plain and simple. They are now nothing more than another denomination, with declining numbers, and spewing hatred against all who choose to think differently. I got in back in 1975, and now 30 years later -- I can see they weren't interested in truth, even back then (although I do agree with some of the teachings of pfal -- if not all of them). It's a closed co-orperation. They don't want your input, mine, or the youth of today. They want the same old same old,. And if something new is offered (like the truth), it will be ignored. :( David

Oak -- I never got that impression about them being *college educated*. I figured they were all kids, with a starry-eyed future (twi) in front of them. :( David

http://www.thecapecod.net Wacky --- put that http:// thing in front of your www.thecapecod addy, and it should work. :) and yes -- the color on those skeins are really nice. There's something about soft colored yarn. It blends in and meshes with anything you might want to knit it, or weave it with. Back when I was married (my ex is a weaver, spinner, croche-er(sp?), tatter of lace, and embroidery lady extroida -naire, she had me collecting berries (I worked for the forest service in Indiana roaming the hills and hollers there), so she could make dyes out of them, dye the yarn she spun, and then weave fabric out of it. I just pick fiddle. I felt so inadequate!! :D Your work looks really nice. :) Paw may have a business forum here soon. Please post on it if he gets it up and running. David

Roy -- I had to laugh along with fled2ak, and Windchaser when (on your NOTE FROM GOD thread), whatthef*ck commented that he too was in Kentucky, and you replied: :) :) :)

(Isn't that a line from Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers??) :huh: It would be nice to have a forum like that for those that could benefit from it. "If you build it, they will come (and post)." :)

You do that! :D I'll make popcorn, and sell front row tickets. ;) (Ps --- I like number 3 a little better than your number one pick, but like I say -- they are all good.)

:D :D Good answer, Roy!! Sudo -- don't worry about Roy over on JWO. He's holding his own quite well. ;) David

They are all good. Hard to pick a favorite! ;) Thanks Sudo, and Bluzeman. :) David

And conversely, it is the parents duty to accept such.

Docvic did say something about all this at AC 79, but durned if I remember what he said now. I do seem to remember that it was touted as one more reason to believe in him as the MOG. But that's just my *imo* about it all now, these many years later.

LONG FORMULA The instructor in chemical warfare asked soldiers in his class: "Anyone knows the formula for water?" "Sure. That's easy," said one man. "What is it?" "H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O." "What, what?" asked the instructor. "H to O".

MILITARY FOOD CHAIN A young Second Lieutenant approaches the crusty old CSM and asked about the origin of the commissioned officer insignias. The CSM replied, "It's history and tradition ... First we give you a gold bar representing that you are very valuable and also malleable. The silver bar also represents significant value, but is less malleable. When you make Captain, your value doubles, hence the two silver bars. As a Colonel you soar over military masses, hence the eagle. As a General, you are, obviously, a star. Does that answer your question?" "Yes," said the Second Lieutenant, "but what about Majors and Lieutenant Colonels?" "That goes waaaay back in history ... to the Garden of Eden even. You see we've always covered our pricks with leaves."

Galen should have some interesting comments about this one! :P

99 cans of beer on the head, 99 cans of beer. You lay down, I'll shoot a round. 98 cans of beer on the head.

Three statisticians go out hunting together. After a while they spot a solitary rabbit. The first statistician takes aim and overshoots. The second aims and undershoots. The third shouts out "We got him!"

Mermaid mathematicians wear algaebras.

Jetc -- glad your son likes it. :) He sounds like a smart young dude (smarter than I am for sure)!! :( It took me close to an hour to get the *easy* one solved. And Hap --- what's a cryptoquip??? Is that the daily quote from Prez Bush??? :D :D :D

If I remember coy-rectly, Belle has one of these.

Surrrrrre ----- blame me!!!!! :D I was there last night, and nobody was around. :( (of course it was around midnight my time). Best time for chat is 8 or 9 PM (central) time.

Cape Cod (hope this works!)

A friend of mine has two yellow Labs that do anything he says. He's a guitar picker, and occassionally when he comes to jam sessions (in the summertime), he brings the dogs along rather than leave them at home. He has an open box pickup and the dogs are in the back. I don't know how he trained them, but those dogs will stay right there in the back of the truck (while we are playing music 20 feet away), and not even attempt to jump out if he didn't say so. Next time I see him, I'll ask him what his secret is. He is a computer programmer and would never put up wih the *hands* thing, even though he loves his pets.

Docvic tried that too, at the live class in 1977. Coupla days into the thing, we were told that it was no longer a *remake* of the class (as it was touted to be), but for: "US ONLY, IN ATTENDENCE". Cripes -- I remember docvic trying his best to improve on his earlier work in that class, and he couldn't pull it off. He stumbled and fumbled from the first session on, trying to make it a *new* class, and it wasn't working for him. Next thing ya know -- in our twigs (oh yeah -- we were assigned to twigs) our twig leader basically read from a printed piece of paper dictating to all of us that we were *special*, since this was for us only, and consider yerselves blessed to be here at this place and time. Well -- I see now what a crock that was, but I will say that docvic's teaching was a mite more spirited once the *directive* got out to all of us in attendaence. I guess he figured out that we would believe any, and all things shoved down our throats, and as a result -- he did a more *perky* job of teaching, thereafter. Once the *word* (no doubt from the MOG), was handed down to the *faithful*, it was accepted by the higher ups that the directive was accepted by us (the lower class who paid big bucks to attend), once we all heard it in twig, there at the campus. :( I forget who said it, but it is certainly appropriate (given the current context): Ya Can't Polish A Turd!

Happy birthday!!! Change the oil every 3,000 miles, do regular *maintenence*, and you're both good for another half a century! :) David
