LCM won't go near onions.

I am 61 years old and I have never watched a football, baseball or basketball game on TV. Never have, never will.

I was doing a search for "CULTS" and TWI. Waydale came up and I was surprised that such a site existed. It was the first month it was on line. Through Waydale I found GSC. I donated money to Waydale for the law suite against TWI. The money was returned to me after they settled out of court.

I am planning a trip to Arizona and will be flying into Phoenix. I need a hotel near the airport that is reasonably priced and easy access north to the Grand Canyon and back again. After reading many reviews on expedia and travelocity I just don't know what to choose. I would appreciate any help. ROCKY - Are you still out there???

On May 1 of this year I had a heart attack and was rushed 50 miles in an ambulance to the hospital and had a stint put in one of 5 blockages in my heart. Did very little thinking about death during the trip was relaxed and very ready to accept my fate. Did no praying for forgiveness or begging for life. I only thought about my wife, daughter and a grandson not yet born. I am still here breathing, 50 pounds lighter and waiting for the day I can see my grandson that I haven't seen yet(he is in Japan).

On the first day God said "Let there be a big BANG", and the cosmos was born from it. I have read all of Carl Sagans books, my favorite author.

Because it was available.

Looks like I am doomed Double doomed

Thanks for the negative mark. My popularity was getting to my head. lol

I never noticed the + or -. It's nice to know I have an excellent rating, for what ever that means. I also noticed that a few who disagree with my comments have a very negative rating.lol Thanks to all that agree with me. It's been a long time since I have been active here at GS. The last two years I have laid back and found other boards that are more to my way of thinking but I always come back here. I have been around since WayDale.

On the profile page for each GS member there is a REPUTATION block. What does that mean and how is it given and who gives it?

This is one of the most relevant songs today and Dylan sang it 30 years ago. http://www.bobdylan.com/#/songs/union-sundown

It's probably not an emerald. It's a synthetic sapphire. The stone has no value. I am a jeweler.

Hope you had a happy birthday Rocky.

Just got back from 3 days in Kyoto. Had a great time . My feet hurts.

Heading out for the hot springs of Beppu. My daughters computer is not working so I can't post pics. Still useing I-pod.

We are in japan. 30 hours of travel

George Thanks for all your help. Heading out 24 hours from now.

Wacky Long time no see. Hopefully I will be able to post pictures on my "myspace" site. I haven't been to the CG Fair for a couple of years, maybe we can meet there next year.Be careful with the wood stacking, I got a very serious injury during my WOW year doing that and had to have surgery when I returned home. www.myspace.com/rmdaigle

Where in Kyoto is GONKOlocated? My daughter is very interested in going there. How much does it run per person in price? We are not on a strict budget, we just don't want to be too surprised. We already have reservations somewhere in the city but I have no idea where. Also, we will be taking the high speed train there. Once I get to Japan I will use her computer to update. Thanks for the help Bob - The Onion Eater

TWINKY I sent for some of the "Jet Ease" tablets, thanks. GEORGE Thanks for the tips. My daughter has been in Japan for 8 years now but she has only been to Kyoto once and just for a day. She speaks Japanese very well and is married to a Japanese so there won't be any problems getting around. I am sure it will be a culture shock being from a small town in the woods of Maine. I am told that my wife and I have to go to the nude hot spring baths in Beppu with her husbands family. That should be a highlight of the trip. Gee, I just can't wait for that one. Last time I went skinny dipping was with a TWIG party back in 1976.

Anyone have any cures or ideas to help with JET LAG? I am heading to Japan on Nov.1 till the 21st. Have been taken pine bark extract and will take melatonin when I arrive. Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Leaving from Portland ME to Chicago then non-stop to Tokyo, connecting to Fukuoka in Southern Japan and then on to Oita where my daughter lives. Will be doing a lot of touring around the Island of Kyushu and spending 3 days in Kyoto.
