A new "what you are thinking" thread. The old one is large enough to cause problems to the db.

It will definitely return. I want a better one than what we had, though, and I want to make sure that the board is running as well as I can make it run before I add mods. Give it a few more days.

Not sure if I should go to physio. I feel really ill and weak today, I keep almost fainting and I'm sure I'll faint on the way to the ward, never mind during the session. Then again I really need to work on my therapy or else scar tissue will make things really hard for me and I already missed one session last week. I'm already falling behind, and I need to be sort of walking in 6 weeks so I can get my suspected patellofemoral arthritus looked at in my other knee. Hope it doesn't happen in my freshly operated knee too.

Ah, ok. 'Tack' for explaining a bit.

And I'm thinking about which 'package' of TV channels to take going from analogue to digital soon. I like to have BBC 3 and 4 and my German and French channels back. Some extra nature and science channels would be nice too.

Wow, when I thought I destroyed all copies of it, I still found a CD containing them. Photos of my Ex, a copy of Duke Nukem 3D (which doesn't work on Win 7 FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU) and various chat logs that remind me of how perverted and immature I was 7 years ago. I mean seriously, did I really say the shit I say back then? I mean damn, I would have fitted the creepy stalker pervert profile easily. All I can feel now is shame, but I think I did learn harshly from those experiences. The biggest irony was that while I said perverted, there was no trace of actual porn on that CD, so WTF 7 year ago version of myself?  I was cybering, phone sex and discussing desires of being female, fetishes, etc and yet I didn't store an archive of porn on the same CD of stuff I've long lost due to hardware failure or accidental deletion?

Yep, a nice but brutal trip down memory lane that was lol. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly emotionally stable back then and only suffered a severe nervous breakdown a couple of years before all that, so yeah, fucked up I was. I can't remember if I was on anti-depressant at the time, but who knows.

So many goals to choose from, how to prioritize, how...................

Edit:  After I made this post I checked my email.  There was a newsletter on making choices.  I have to shake my head and laugh that I was so lost.  I am religious and G_d gave me an answer to a question I hadn't even had time to ask him. 

Here's the meat of the newsletter (Zen Habits) in case anyone else needs some helping deciding things.

How do you make a choice when you’re stuck at a fork in the road?

How can you decide when two or more possibilities seem equally good?

I’ve been learning (but haven’t mastered) the principles of Effortless Decision-Making. It’s a way of making decisions where you can flow through the constant stream of decisions we must make every day of our lives, without getting stuck, without being paralyzed by fear. We choose, and flow, and we let go of worry.

What follows is a very brief guide to making effortless decisions.

Let go of perfection. We’ll never make perfect decisions, and wanting to make the perfect choice keeps us paralyzed.

Get more information. Don’t let this hold you up, but if you’re stuck it’s often because you don’t have the necessary info. What info do you need? Can you easily get it? Get it now if you can, but don’t be held up by the lack of info.

Try and err. If you don’t have enough info — and that’s usually the case — just choose. It doesn’t really matter what you choose, just make a choice and let go of the idea of making the right choice. Now live with that choice for a bit, and see what happens. This is called trial and error, and it’s often the best way to get information. We try something, and see how it works out — and then we have more information to make better decisions in the future. When you look at it this way, decisions are just a series of trial and error experiments, and it doesn’t matter what the outcomes are, because any outcome is good information.

Try intuition. If you’re stuck and don’t have enough info, let go of worry and just make a choice. How do you make a choice? You could flip a coin, but you could also just go with your gut reaction. What does your intuition say? Start listening to it — often it’s an unconscious decision based on lots of factors that we can’t consciously process, so a part of our unconscious brain processes it and comes up with a split-second decision. Intuition can be wrong, but that’s still OK: we’re going to learn from the results no matter what. So just learn to hear your intuition, and go with it.

Let go of worry. If you learn the above principles, it’s easy to see that there’s nothing to worry about. You don’t need to be perfect, and a decision is very rarely the end of the world (at least, no decision has led to the end of the world yet). Sure, history is littered with the corpses of those who made bad decisions, but there are a million times more decisions that were made without any really bad consequences. You won’t die, you’ll just learn. So don’t worry — just choose.

Practice, and flow. You’ll get better at this with practice, as you learn to let go of perfection and worry and see decisions as experiments. You’ll learn to do it better, faster, with more intuition. Soon you’ll flow through your daily decisions with ease. Do it consciously at first, keeping in mind all of the above principles, but it gets easier as you go.

Making decisions is something we do all day long, and it doesn’t have to be difficult. We build certain decisions up in our minds because we think they’re incredibly important, but in truth they’re rarely that big a deal. This isn’t the Cuban Missile Crisis — we’re not deciding the fate of a nation. See choice as an opportunity to learn, and you’ll be happy for every single effortless decision that comes your way.

I'm thinking about the girl behind the counter in a café yesterday. She bizarrely looked like a younger Ellen but was way more modest. Shy-ish. Well, I'm not the biggest hero in making eye contact myself but she avoided it almost altogether completely. I had to help her with the sum to pay, adding €1.75 for the coffee and €2.50 for the toasted ham and cheese sandwich, also. Surely not cos she couldn't do it but simply cos she felt a bit shy. I kinda recognized a 'trait' I have myself sometimes. Think next time I visit the (cool) city of Breda I'm going to visit that place again also.

There was a young very playful dog in that café too. He greeted me when I entered the place and followed me around after that. (um, dogs and I = instant recognition mostly). Well, I went to the toilet first to wash my hands and the little fella playfully followed me there. We played; 'me big ma'an/I'm going to catch ya, doggy' and he clearly loved it, wagging his tail like mad and running off for a while and cautiously returning with his joyful eyes kinda saying 'do it again'. Mentioned young lady saw this and gave me a kind/warm smile in return.

Blahiah..

Pro fucking tip 1: if you want to date me be straighforward, don't complain about being lonely to see if I take pity on you.

Pro fucking tip 2: don't go for married women. Period. It doesn't matter how desperate and lonely you are.

Pro fucking tip 3: don't actually let the girl know that you're desperate for a date. No woman out there wants know that you only want to date her because you're desperate.

I am wondering how parts can regularly work in an attic. I about passed out and had to desperately climb my way over to the exit as panic set in as my body, without warning, started to overheat. I feel sick at the moment. I was trying to clear out the wet insulation (blown) so it can dry and I can fix the water damage.

As any good mother will tell her child, "Bored?  I've got something for you to do."

You should have seen what she made me do (to her) last night! :-[

Threesomes are awkward when you don't have "the fetish talk" beforehand, huh?

Thought from yesterday morning (when I check webcomics and facebook):  I have an ex who communicates wth me largely by posting quotes from the most current questionablecontent on my FB wall.  This was yesterday's QC:

*snip*

The thought was to wonder if he had the same moment of "..." *snicker*

So, thanks for that.  I have spent the last few days reading QC like a crazy person.  Read the last 400 then started at the beginning and around 530 I finally figured out your avatar.  I have to say I like her current haircut and eye color better, but nice choice.  :zoinks:  :thumbup:

Thanks for turning me onto something great.  :plus:

Well ladies and gentlemen, I think we're witnessing the rumblings of the second great depression. In fact, the financial crisis of 2008 was merely a warning sign of a imminent depression occurring within a few years. I knew all their measures would eventually fail, it was unrealistic what they were trying to achieve. Hate to say it but the system needs to collapse in order to stop that bubble growing in something more fearsome (as impossible as that sounds).

But if history is a good measurement of what to expect... A World War will follow.

Thinking that I want a penpal (snail mail) but I'm probably too weird for normal penpal sites. Hm. :dunno:

You're welcome. Rarely comment on other's personal photos but couldn't pass that up. When all the cute colored hair became trendy, was too old to pull it off. Myself sport an asian looking cut and color, which suits well, though it would be so pink if younger. Someone might really like a pink haired penpal, never know about these things.

To be honest the photo is a new find, but it was of me about a year ago. I still think the hair is cute but I gotta get a job so it had to go. Maybe you're not too old, it could be a matter of finding the right colour. There's this old lady in my town who's rocking an orange perm!
I don't worry about my hair, it's more incase I say something inappropriate in a letter. I'm nice and friendly with the typical "I'm a 20 year old female who likes walking her dog on the beach and playing video games" but then I always manage to slip in an inappropriate joke. I don't hold extreme views really but I have a thing for un-pc humour.  :laugh:

Toilet of Ear they call it.

Basically they're going to scrap skin out of my ear canal, clean it all up and treat it with anti-fugal cream. It actually requires being knocked out for it, as from what I hear, it's way too uncomfortable to be awake for it. But if it works, I shouldn't redevelop any fugal infection again.

Cool Professor! I've had my ears cleaned with a scraper and vacuum while awake. It was a fascinating experience and my hearing was much crisper afterwards. I wanted it done again, but my ENT had closed up shop and gone elsewhere and their building remains vacant. I didn't have fungus though. I bet that's a great opening line on a date!

Good luck! Sounds simple so you should be just fine! :thumbup:

I was banging some chick in the hallway of this apt building. And I was like, really really not into it. She kept trying o kiss me and it was like her breath stunk or something. But I kept toching her boobs. But it wasnt a sexy dream. I really didnt want to do those things with her but was doing them anyway. And she was hot and everything.

Just made dinner for the two soon-to-be-older youngest minions. Made 'em hot dogs and I always put the condiments on the bun then put the hot dog in and spin it. This is far less messy for little minions to eat such that the ketchup, etc. don't slide off, squirt out, or get all over their face, or worse, clothes. Well...my about-to-be 5-year old threw a tantrum. "That's not how mommy does it!" she screamed. That is also why mommy throws fits and screams and yells over little minion getting stuff on her expensive designer clothes that she intends to resell once she outgrows them. In this case, daddy knows best!!!

In about 2 hours I start fasting, than about 10 hours later is the surgery. I really hope they don't jab a needle into my hand this time. My last experience of requiring to be knocked out involved a long needle being jammed into my left forehand. It still makes me cringe thinking about it.

Good luck, mate.

Thanks. :)

Now it's less than two hours and I'm killing time here; and may I say, fasting is a bitch, even when you try to sleep through most of the time as you feel nervous too.

Yeah, I know how that feels. I've never been as hungy as when waiting for surgery.

With me it's more thirst that's driving me nuts. I don't feel all that hungry strangely enough. :-\

I'll probably drink an entire litre of bottled water when I first get the chance.

Do I have a Borderline Personality Disorder?

I've never thought about it but after reading what I just read , it sounds a LOT like me.

Then again this was on Wikipedia so I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is.  :P

You don't sound like you do. It isn't just about cutting. It's really more a personality problem.

You seem so easy-going and consistently rational to me.

I'm more rational and easy going on here , because I don't want the verbal shit beaten out of me  :lol:

It's just something I've noticed, I can explode over the stupidest little things and when I do it feels like i'm some other personality.
Could just be me being frustrated with how my life is at the moment though.  :P

it's weird coz when I was doing it, I didn't even think about my own OCD. I mean it wasn't a toilet related thing so it wasn't really a proper OCD thing for me, but if I'd been doing it myself I'd have got a BIT ocd about it, whereas when you're focusing on helping someone else, it doesn't bother you if you have to touch the stuff or whatever

it's strange

altho having said that, when I am in a really bad mood I think I would feel differently haha

If you mean "stroke like episode" you need to get yourself to the emergency room right now.   Please don't wait for it to pass.  Time lost can be brain lost; however, if you are treated within three hours they can reverse the effects.  I got this email from my sister-in-law a few days ago:

Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue


STROKE: Remember  the 1st  Three Letters.... S.T.R. 

STROKE   IDENTIFICATION:

During  a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured   everyone that she was fine (they offered to call  paramedics) .she  said she had just tripped over  a brick because of her new  shoes.

They   got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of  food. While she  appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest  of the  evening.

Jane's  husband called later  telling everyone that his wife had been taken  to  the hospital - (at 6:00   pm  Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the  BBQ. Had they known how to identify the  signs of a stroke,  perhaps Jane would be with  us today. Some don't die. They end  up in a  helpless, hopeless condition  instead.

It   only takes a minute to read this...

A   neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke  victim within 3  hours he can totally reverse the  effects of a  stroke...totally. He said  the trick was getting a stroke  recognized,  diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING  A STROKE

Thank  God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR  . Read and  Learn!

Sometimes  symptoms of a  stroke are difficult to identify.  Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The   stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage  when people nearby fail to recognize the  symptoms of a stroke.

Now  doctors say a  bystander can recognize a stroke by asking  three  simple questions:

S   *Ask  the individual  to SMILE.

T   *Ask  the person to  TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE  (Coherently)

(i.e. It is sunny  out  today.)

R   *Ask  him or her to  RAISE BOTH  ARMS.

If  he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these  tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms  to the dispatcher.


New Sign of a Stroke  -------- Stick out Your Tongue


NOTE:  Another 'sign' of a  stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue... If the tongue  is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

Thanks Callaway. 

I've had 3 TIAs, unexplained origin.  I figured that at least 2 of them followed eating a banana a day for about a week.  Evidently I have naturally high potassium levels and the potassium introduced by eating too many bananas, kicks it up too high (potassium controls heart beats).  I told PA to keep an eye on me.  I'm feeling much better now; not dizzy, no weakness, etc.  I guess I need to remember my mantra, "The only good banana is in a banana split."  Which I only have about every two years.

I don't know about most homes, but mine just has an evaporative cooler on the roof.  Evaporative coolers normally work well in dry climates, but it has been unusually hot here lately.

Strokes are devastating and it's a small window to treat properly.  Depending upon the type of stroke.  Hemorrhage or clot induced.   And how severe the damage is.

Dad had a stroke, Mom had a stroke (both minor without lasting effects).  I've had 3 TIAs.  The Princess Royal had one before she was born and has mild/moderate cerebral palsy from it.  Her mild/moderate mental retardation has an unknown origin and her epilepsy started with an immature brain.  She also has ADHD - Inattentive and High Functioning Autism or Aspergers depending on the doctor.  Just a normal day in the Palace.

Here's what I found on the American Airlines website:

Quote
Overweight/Oversize Baggage Charges

Additional charges apply to this type of baggage and are collected at the airport ticket counter.

Itinerary Overweight Baggage Charges

Flights within the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Canada

 Checked baggage weighing over 50 lbs/23 kgs but not more than 70 lbs/32 kgs will be charged at the rate of $100 per piece.

Checked baggage weighing over 70lbs/32 kgs but not more than 100 lbs/45 kgs will be charged at the rate of $200 per piece.

Baggage weighing more than 100 lbs/45 kgs will not be accepted as checked baggage.

Oversize Baggage Charges

Checked baggage which is larger than 62 in/157 cm will be charged at the rate of $200 per piece.

Baggage measuring more than 126 in/320 cm will not be accepted as checked baggage.


So as long as your big suitcase is less than or equal to 30 inches tall, 21 inches wide and 11 inches deep, or some other combination to be less than 62 inches in length plus width plus depth, you should be fine. 

If you don't have a bathroom scale but you can pick up and carry your packed suitcase yourself easily with no problems, I think that it probably weighs less than 50 pounds.  If you get to the ticket counter and find that it is a little too heavy, you can take a jacket or coat or other outerwear out of your suitcase and wear or carry it and it won't count in your carry-on bag and personal item allowance.

The posts about what is allowed on airplanes reminds me of my Grandma Teenie.  When she would visit us in Houston she would ride the train.  When she got off the train she always had a paper grocery bag with her clothes and essentials.  In her luggage was New Orleans coffee, pralines and french bread.  She had her priorities straight.

 this is nothing like a bag of potatoes so I figure it will be within the limit!

I met someone at a genealogy conference once who had an ancestor who died in his 70's.  He had something like 6 wives and about 40 offspring.

And there's been a police van parked around the corner every night. I am NOT having a paranoid delusion!

It looked like the police were following me home earlier! Two cars were at the kerb and pulled out behind me one by one. One turned off elsewhere but the other car followed behind me all the way home.   

And there's been a police van parked around the corner every night. I am NOT having a paranoid delusion!

:twitch: :tinfoil:

 It might have nothing to do with you.  Maybe the  :police:  are trying to catch a criminal known to frequent your neighborhood.

My girlfriend is a cop, so she kept me from getting too paranoid about it.  She told me as much as she could.  For awhile, driving at night or in the rain was fun since the cops couldn't see my plates clearly, they would follow me until I pulled into my driveway.

I hope he gets a long sentence. That could still do a great deal of harm.

Not bad at all.  About $150 per class.  I had undergrad classes that ran $300-$400 per.

I remember when that psycho scum poisoined Tylenol capsules with cyanide in the 1980s. What a POS.

:agreed:

At first I thought that they had solved the case and it was a woman trying to poison her husband and hide that she had done it by also poisoning random strangers too, but then I checked and she was just a copycat.  I see now that they put a guy in prison for extortion for sending a letter demanding $1 million to make the poisonings stop, but they now think that he was the poisoner and have asked both him and Ted Kaczynski for DNA samples.

Thinking about Peter's weird video posts.

Me too and how the people are scary :hide:

Scary? I only find them weird.

That's the difference in seeing people of my daughter and me.

She thinks they are scary, I think they are weird and intriguing.

A spider made my hanging lamp his home for.. over a week now/probably longer than that.. but I'm a bit worried about s/he getting enough food. The little 8 legged creature just seem to 'sunbathe', enjoying the light's warmth, but I haven't seen 'him' catching any insects in 'his' web, that's totally in the lamp, in that stretch of time..

The lamp isn't that doof a choice, I think.. for flying insects tend to be attracted to light.. and being cold-blooded/nice and warmth.. but?

Dunno.. should I feed the 'dude', giving him the insects I sometimes find? Replace him.. to another spot? Let nature take its course?

CBC - you could always try to read Mont-St.-Michel and Chartres by Henry Adams.  It's in paperback and on Project Gutenberg.  I say try to read it because I've been dipping into it for literally years.  It has the Chanson de Roland in Old French, which I love to attempt to read aloud because Old French sounds fantastic, and never seem to get past that section. 

Who said I wasn't autistic?

The way I read it it does.  A little less than the difference between modern and Old English.  It's funny to think of other languages having their Old versions to them.

A member with no posts can see more than you or I can see when we are logged out, but there's a lot more to be seen after they make their tenth post.

What's the story behind your, lutra?
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: lutra on October 09, 2011, 02:30:44 PM
It comes from a Belgium cartoonist named A. Franquin and the character on the left is called Gaston (or Guust Flater in Dutch). I really really loved reading that comic book series as a teenager and still can lol reading some of it nowadays.

Gaston is a bit of a clumsy dreamer that invents silly stuff all the time. Some in an office setting of the actual publisher of the comic series (= Dupuis) where he works. Well, he does a lot of things there but seem to never actually work.

Franquin was just a brilliant cartoonist with a beautiful sense of humour (IMO).

Well, blahiah.. (um, little intro there)

Also in the series of 18, I thought, books.. he and the copper are clashing quite regularly. Coppa goes strictly by the book and Gaston in all his innocence has little a clue what he did wrong most of the time.

Well, to make fun of policemen is perhaps a global phenomenon but in Belgium (and also in southern parts of the Netherlands) it was and still is something folks do a lot. The unreasonable stubbornness, the arrogance that sometimes goes with the outfit and in particular the stupidity shown at times is target for ridicule on a quite regular basis.

For me the copper stands for authority in general and how they arrogantly dare to break laws themselves in the city I live in now. It's very on-Dutch-like 'Italian' here. No kid ya but basically this city is stuck in medieval ignorant catholic moral and is ruled by a very corrupt alderman (and his army of cowardly followers).. and tjah, I, a made into persona non grata here, writing a lot of stuff down on paper.

(um, an attempt there.. )

Sexting is kinda fun sometimes. I dont really do it, but there is this one kid I fooled around with a few times that likes to text me at 3 am like every single night.  So I sometimes end up asking him all these crazy dirty questions; that is if I feel like answering the nightly "hey" I get on my phone. One night I asked him all about how he plays with himself and how long etc etc etc. I got him all worked up, and he asked if he could come over for a blowjob. Driving an hour and a half for just a blowjob is brave :D So I said... naaaa, and turned the phone off :D I still get a "hey" in my inbox like every night tho.

A gömböc (pronounced [ˈɡømbøts] in Hungarian, sometimes spelled gomboc and pronounced GOM-bock in English) is a convex three-dimensional homogeneous body which, when resting on a flat surface, has just one stable and one unstable point of equilibrium. Its existence was conjectured by Russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold in 1995 and proven in 2006 by Hungarian scientists Gábor Domokos and Péter Várkonyi.

Where have you been the last 2 years?

Went through a layoff of my old postal plant in York Pennsylvania, went fucking depressed for the month of November, was employed at the West York postal annex from December 2009 to June 2010, was pissed off with myself not finding work, got kicked out of the house, stayed at friends places for a few weeks before moving to someones house from August 2010 to March 2011.  Discovered Four Loko, Right Winged Christians who worship AnnRaynd, women with drug problems, Amazon.com is a nightmare for a working class individual, and people who are contempt with their shitty existence.  At least I got my old job back (sorting mail in machines) after a Christmas stint in the Lancaster processing plant.  Sadly, it was in Harrisburg.  I moved in with one smoker who had a criminal past (I did not even wanted to know what he did) which invited another dude with a criminal past to move in and smoked self rolled Menthol cigarets.  All I wanted is to be mega close to work.  Eventually on May 2011, I moved out again to Walnut St Harrisburg in a bording house.  I had  all of the cable internet I wanted but I did not have an access to a kitchen outside of a microwave and had to share 3 bathrooms.  The owner of the house also ran a strip club joint but at least the landlord was cool with me.

This journey cost my life savings but going back it is worth it showing that I can live on my own with minimal supervision.

Eventually I  took the postal exam, got the union job, paid off my credit card debt (due to someone wrecking my car and it being totaled), drive a 2012 Elantra, and staying in Middletown PA until I find another place by December (current landlord putting the house for sale in December).

At least I protested in Washington DC on November 2010 against Autism Speaks.  Now that was a life changing event!

Makes me wonder how the fart did I manage to be an assistant floor manager in quite a large hardware store for a couple of years. I know I was knackered after work those days but I managed okay/okay-ish.. don't think I could handle doing what I did back then nowadays.

(oh, working there (Praxis) was 10~7 years ago and I didn't knew much about the spectrum back then)

Think folks know shit about me and yet.. they think they know me.  :facepalm2: Um, I tend to push folks away that abusively think they know me.. but don't really.. and faux pas-ish forget to explain as of why..  :facepalm2: or tend to forget to correct their perception a little.

I'm wondering where I exactly stand with the Europe/€-crisis/Greece debate that's been going on for months now. It's difficult shite.

Well, I tend to disagree with those who think that it's best to let Greece fall altogether.. but maybe a bankruptcy isn't that bad a solution. There seems so much going wrong there that maybe a 'fresh' start/'new' build up, remaining an EU member....

Um, is that option? Some sort of 'Marshall-plan' for the countries that are in trouble?

Dunno.. (probably know too little about economic stuff like that)

I do think the group dynamics have changed and become tighter-knit. Whether that's a lovefest though, or working the way it's supposed to, is more of a judgement call though, yeah? I suspect it's the inevitable result of airing conflict openly. People either leave because they can't take it, or work out whatever was bothering them, and the ones who are left form a stronger bond. Most of them.

Gotta go with no. People on WP or wherever hear of our reputation, that we eat babies for breakfast and cut our teeth on 4chan and drive away the weak with pitchforks and torches. Then they show up and find a bunch of ordinary people joking around like a pub.

Ok, I'm off to make a poll about it.

But was it really part of the original idea, to have people think that I2 members ate babies for breakfast? I don't think it was. Wasn't it more to the point that here we'd have a voice and learn how to use that voice outside of here?

Pubs will do part of that for "ordinary" people. Couldn't I2 do that for teh spazzes?

That image of us, isn't it rather like what we'd all like to be and how we'd like to present ourself? Me, I don't think we were ever like that, not really.

I kinda like being part of a site that's seen as badass. It's like you said. Even if they don't usually do it, people here have the potential to eat babies or whatever, because of the lack of moderation. It's the internet equivalent of the right to bear arms, and forbidding people from threatening the site is the internet equivalent of sheathing your sword when you walk into the tavern. IMO, having a reputation is part of having a voice, whether that's politically correct or not. Too many people judge by appearances and attitudes, and use them as a guide for how to interact with you, for it to not matter. So if people can get used to presenting themselves that way here, then yeah, I think that would carry over to having a stronger voice offline.

His/her name is actually SolidSnakesarescum (Solid Snakes are scum) , I'm guessing it's a reference to the Metal Gear SOlid videogame series who's main protagonist is called Solid Snake.  :P [/vidya gaem nerd mode]

Well, I suppose being socially retarded helped both of us.  We originally met when I was 19 and he was 26 at college (1968).  Didn't meet again for about 13 years (1982), took about 6 months (1983) for a first date, 9 months for a second date (1984).  Got married I was 34 and he was 41 (1985).  If we'd married sooner there's no doubt we would have divorced.

You're the lucky ones. Ive had like 10 boyfriends this year alone. before that I was married for many years,though.

I equally love and hate boys.
as for the being too young, sometimes I wonder if my very first serious boyfriend and I wold have made it if we werent both so young. I had some of the best times of my life with him, but at the time he was an 18-20 year old boy and , you know...

The first night i ever did ecstasy a transformer blew up outside of my house. We nearly pissed ourselves, and my boyfriend when outside to see what was up. Big mistake as there were cops there. Cops knew there wasnt anything suspicious but asked him a ton of questions about the sound and the blast and everything. When he came back inside he was shaking :D

explosions + going outside + cops + E do not mix.

:lol:

I had a transformer blow up in front of my house a few weeks ago. The whole thing smashed to the ground and the pole was on fire. Looked like one big ass cigarette. But it turned out being a huge deal because I had a hospital in my 'hood and it took down the power to a big portion of my city and the hospital was on generators.

Exactly!! I happened to be standing by my bedroom window when it blew and the explosion was not only loud, but really bright. Lit up my whole room and then power to the city went out and it was eerily quiet. First thing I did was run next door to my neighbours house and ask what her husband did. I thought he screwed something up (he does crazy stuff like that) :laugh:

I worked in an FCCU unit (cat cracker) in 2000 where an 800 pound transformer had blown up and landed on a roof about 80' off the ground where it had been.  :o One of the Operators described the incident to me, I was not there at the time.

A large shade umbrella for my courtyard would be nice, but it might make the courtyard look a bit cluttered (it's only 6m x 3m). Something for the garden perhaps. I haven't even touched it yet :P

There's no trick at all. If the chemistry is right and you are equally important to each other, it will happen naturally. the best (and usually healthiest) relationships are the ones where you don't force things to happen or fall into place. They just do on their own. If one person starts doing all the work or is starting to feel like things aren't being reciprocated then it's time for a sit down and if that still doesn't fix things, you move on. :hug:

Yeah it's addictive. You were warned. :laugh:

So far I've built a bridging network over marshland and mountains, gravel roads, fencing for mining areas, a large sugar cane and wheat farm, a animal pen (with chicken coup and food storage barn, once I've finished it), and to think I've only explored less than 1% of the world. I found that building infrastructure is very important to ensure you don't get lost as the world is so large, it takes ~820 hours in real life to reach the world map edge from the centre srsly.

Post by: Peter on October 22, 2011, 02:13:16 PM
I found this while reading about a place where I lived for part of my childhood:

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewarton
The Battle Of Bowes Rigg

In 1997, tensions ran high between the bourgeois residents of Bowes Rigg and the so-called "scum" of the lower reaches of Stewarton. Together with the mysterious dark lords of Draffen Mount, the Bowesriggians controlled most of Stewarton from their lofty position; their influence extending as far as Sainsbury's and Lothian Road. However, all was not well among the lower classes. Angry at the new EU quotas on "Mars bars in batter," and harsh Bowesriggian rationing saw a large divide growing between the lower classes and their betters. The final straw arrived when local "Ned" William Nightingale, draped in his Burberry Battle Robes, poached a prize elephant from the leafy depths of The Cunny. Seeing this as a hostile attack on their heartland, the Bowesriggians retaliated by decorating most of Lainshaw in clashing crepe paper patterns. This was to have tragic effects, when a stray crackpipe ignited the paper, causing widespread devastation, and almost totally wiping out the Stewarton Space Programme- which is still struggling to recover. In an unprecedented show of strength, Robertland and Lainshaw became allies, and attempted to storm Bowes Rigg, before deciding they "couldnae be arsed".

Tensions reached fever pitch when Robertland-allied Cuba announced its plans to build a nuclear weapons base in the Millhouse. The then-Mayor of Bowes Rigg, Martin O'Brien, warned that any attempt to place nuclear weapons in the Millhouse would lead to an immediate strike on The Smuggs and The Arms; both crucial suppliers to both Robertland and Lainshaw. Cuba eventually backed down.

The simmering pot of anger finally boiled over on the morning of May 15th 1997. A stone through the window of a lower Bowes Rigg house resulted in a 4-month sword fight, the gutters running red with blood. The effects of this could, until recently, still be seen on 'The Red Ash Path;' a path beside the Annick which was so stained with blood that, despite industrial quantities of Vanish and some house-wife knowhow, had to be covered in Tarmacaddam. Peace was brokered on Christmas Eve 1997, when the respective leaders of both sides- having drawn each other as a "Secret Santa"- bought each other really thoughtful gifts. Not expensive, but meaningful y'know?

In total, over 13 million people were killed in the Battle Of Bowes Rigg. A small plaque at the summit (accessible only by giant hawk) is the only reminder of this black period in Stewarton's history. While tensions still exist today, the ceding of The Cunny to young tribes of "Neds" has to some extent alleviated the problem.

Interesting perspective, Eris.

I worked my ass off, started saving for college at 16, and got merit scholarships to go to a state university as well.  I lived in a tiny apartment and didn't have a car at all although I did have a credit card which I used very carefully and paid off in full every month whenever it was possible.

I think that the person pooh-poohing the sign holder's state university education was being kind of snotty.

I don't think they were saying there is anything wrong with a state education. Their point is that it's highly unlikely to get into the 1% without an Ivy League education.

Steve Jobs dropped out of Reed College in Portland, Oregon after one semester because of a lack of money, but he still audited classes there and slept on friends' floors for a couple more years.  Bill Gates attended Harvard, but never finished his degree.  Paul Allen dropped out of Washington State University after two years and convinced Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard as well, to start their own business called Microsoft.

What is Ivy League?

Our state university, University Of Western Australia (or UWA as everyone calls it) is about as posh as it gets here. I am going to poor old Murdoch Uni heh.

The Ivy league is a group of old private colleges like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, etc.  So called because of their age (some date back to the late 1600's when founded) and the fact that their older buildings are covered with Ivy vines.

Hoping it will, or will give me leads, yes.   I'm starting to suspect there may be a medical cause behind how screwy my energy levels are, over and above how depressed I am right now, for a few reasons.  The ideal would be a simple vitamin deficiency I could address with a supplement or dietary changes. I'm hoping it's not diabetes.  When I was on Zyprexa, I was monitored carefully for it and always came out OK, but in retrospect none of those were fasting bood sugars, so I don't know how accurate the tests really could have been.

The tricky thing is that I faint easily, which makes it impossible to get fasting blood sugar (or cholesterol, for that matter, albeit that concerns me less).  They may be able to do a skin prick test just to get those levels, though.  Anything that doesn't require fasting I can do, but I've learned to eat something immediately beforehand.

Only through the power of caffeine shall I make it through the day today.  Which means I will spend the day feeling nervous as fuck and looking manic and/or coked-up.  Better than looking like my client's problems bore me to sleepines, but still a lousy option.  Goddamn insomnia.

Wondering how my Aunt's appointment at the cancer clinic will go. Her cancer is back for a third time but this time it's in a new form as she's already had a double mastectomy. They pulled a mass from deep inside her chest cavity and they're also checking her liver again. The liver biopsy was on Friday so we won't have those results for a few weeks. But the MRI's and bone scans should be in by now.  :-\

I faint easily and get dizzy spells in which my heart starts racing and I feel/hear the pulse in my neck, but regular consumption of salt seems to keep it under control.  I don't know if salt would help in your case; I used to put my dizziness and fainting down to something harmless to do with low blood pressure, but I've started to wonder if it's caused by an ion channel mutation or whatever it is that's affecting me more generally.

Yeah it's been a crazy ride. She had breast cancer in 2000 and has a mastectomy and was cancer free for 10 years. Then she had it in the other breast so had that removed in 2010. Was clear for 3 months post treatment. Then we had a scare as they found a small mass, but it tested negative. *phew* So they tested her liver to be sure, also negative. Then a few months later months later they found another mass during a routine followup X-ray and that one tested positive (the one they found in her chest) and they've found a spot on her liver that they think they may have missed but we don't have the results on that one yet. It will be a few weeks. We know the one in her chest is cancerous but we don't know what kind. Hope to find that out today. She just turned 68 on Thursday and she's like a Mum to me. She helped raise me when I was little. I'd be lost without her. Just hoping whatever it is, it's treatable.

Yeah it's been a crazy ride. She had breast cancer in 2000 and has a mastectomy and was cancer free for 10 years. Then she had it in the other breast so had that removed in 2010. Was clear for 3 months post treatment. Then we had a scare as they found a small mass, but it tested negative. *phew* So they tested her liver to be sure, also negative. Then a few months later months later they found another mass during a routine followup X-ray and that one tested positive (the one they found in her chest) and they've found a spot on her liver that they think they may have missed but we don't have the results on that one yet. It will be a few weeks. We know the one in her chest is cancerous but we don't know what kind. Hope to find that out today. She just turned 68 on Thursday and she's like a Mum to me. She helped raise me when I was little. I'd be lost without her. Just hoping whatever it is, it's treatable.
  I bet you are beside yourself with worry.  I do hope she will be ok,  she sounds like an amazing lady.
they've moved the appointment to the 31st since they don't have the liver results in yet.

Wondering how my Aunt's appointment at the cancer clinic will go. Her cancer is back for a third time but this time it's in a new form as she's already had a double mastectomy. They pulled a mass from deep inside her chest cavity and they're also checking her liver again. The liver biopsy was on Friday so we won't have those results for a few weeks. But the MRI's and bone scans should be in by now.  :-\

I'm sad for you and your aunt and I hope that it's going to turn out OK, but the chest wall cancer my aunt got some time after her radiation treatments and chemotherapy for breast cancer was very aggressive.  I hope that your aunt's will be more treatable.

I faint easily and get dizzy spells in which my heart starts racing and I feel/hear the pulse in my neck, but regular consumption of salt seems to keep it under control.  I don't know if salt would help in your case; I used to put my dizziness and fainting down to something harmless to do with low blood pressure, but I've started to wonder if it's caused by an ion channel mutation or whatever it is that's affecting me more generally.
Hypothetically worth a shot.  I know my blood pressure is low (healthy-low, but, low).  I also crave salt/salty foods a lot but I'm not sure that actually means I have a deficiency (unless I also have a chocolate deficiency).

Any suggestions (or links to web sites with guidelines) on 1) how much one should try to add (even to experiment and see if it helps) and 2) how to make this palatable?  Not sure I can just sit and eat spoonfuls of salt.  :P

It's not something I've read about anywhere, so I can't direct you to a site about it.  My diet has very little processed food in it, so there's little or no salt in it unless I add some.  I was getting very frequent dizzy spells a few years ago and I wondered if it could have something to do with the lack of salt in my diet, so I started salting my food and the dizzy spells went away.  I let my body guide me and I just add however much salt tastes good.  I don't go crazy with heaps of salt; if I take too much, I get thirsty and start drinking and pissing a lot, and I can wake up several times in a night with a full bladder and feeling dehydrated until my body excretes the excess sodium.  If I stop adding salt to my food, I begin having dizzy spells again after a week or two.

Also, magnesium supplementation decreases my salt craving, and I haven't had any dizzy spells from my reduced salt intake while taking magnesium.  It has some unusual effects on me; it makes me more alert and energetic, causes insomnia, and makes my masseters tense up, which gives me headaches; pretty much the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do (think epsom salts).  I've no idea if you'd find magnesium helpful or not; it can be bought as pills, but I find it cheaper to use a big bag of magnesium oxide powder that was sold as a feed additive for horses.

Wondering if I should make some solar panels out of these (http://shop.knowyourplanet.com/solar_cells/scrap_solar_cells/1kg_6x6_polycrystalline_triple_busbar_solar_cell_broken_pieces) scrap cells and mount them on the roof of my garage.  Glasgow only gets 1,243 hours of not very intense sunshine a year, but those cells work out at about 17p per watt-peak (obviously more than that to construct a housing and wire them together, and I'd have to match up similar-sized fragments for each series string in a panel to avoid excessive current loss from the cells being different sizes, and grid-tie inverters aren't cheap), and our electricity bill is something like £700 a year.

I'm thinking how silly it is that guys stifle their moaning. They have no idea how hot we find that. I guess they think it is not manly or something. But it's not like your boys are there to judge you ( I hope not anyway)

So , you hear that all you men out there ? You moaning is hot. Do it more.

I like it when they grunt.
That's hot , I remember when my ex used to kiss me on the neck I'd sink my nails into his back and moan.

Ok I'm going to bed now , rambling due to tiredness  :autism: , goodnight I2.

 I really love aspirin.  Lately (just in the past couple of weeks), I've had a limited range of
 motion in my left arm due to shoulder pain.  I need to call my doctor about it.  I know it's
 not good to overdo anything so I take the aspirin sparingly, but it really does help.

I'm not sure that I'm all that odd; perhaps I'm at the quantitative fringes of the male sexual bell curve, but qualitatively normal, with all the usual drives and responses present and functional, but damped down.  I read this article about a month ago, when I checked Google to find out what, if anything, people around the world were saying about the crapness of male orgasms, and I felt that it agreed with my own suspicions that men typically don't enjoy the physical side of sex nearly as much as is commonly believed, and that the emotional aspects of sex are more important to them than they'll generally admit to themselves or to others.

(The original article has disappeared into a pay-walled archive or something, but I found the text of the article in a message where someone had quoted it.)

Quote from: The Times
Is she having all the fun?

Orgasms are just so unfair, says Jonathan Margolis. Compared with a
woman's physical fireworks, a man's big moment is a bit of a damp
squib
 
Considering the dedication with which we men pursue orgasms, it's odd
that we almost never try to describe them. Women, supposedly less
orgasm-obsessed, give long, lyrical descriptions of their whole-body
orgasmic experiences. Yet, for thousands of years, when even
sensitive, articulate male writers have reached the sticky bits of
their sex scenes, they weirdly change their point of view and start
going on about the ecstatic vaginal fireworks show that they imagine
exploding within their lover's loins.
 
What is going on here? By far the most likely explanation for men's
reticence is that, frankly, the male orgasm is rubbish. Nature gave
us the desire to ejaculate with tedious regularity, yet she also
ensured that the experience, though addictive, would be a bit
piffling � a cunning method to get us to have sex and spread our seed
as frequently as possible. But however transitory and unsatisfying
the male orgasm is, we get to see women go through the 5, 10, 30
seconds of face-contorted, white-knuckle yes, yessss ... then bliss.
Sometimes, we feel the aftershocks in their vagina for even longer.
We hear them purr contentedly in the afterglow. And, while we might
feel rather smug for having played our part, real or imagined, we
also somehow sense that we were at a different party.

For those of you who don't know, let me explain what the male orgasm
is like. It starts with an irritable sensation in our testicles and
the end of our penis. WH Auden memorably called this "the intolerable
neural itch". Try to analyse the "itch" and it soon becomes apparent
that it consists of little more than a large body of semen hollering
to get out and go swimming as fast as possible. The mechanism by
which this cargo of gunge will be released is as crudely sensitive as
it is simple. It is so eager to go that, often, especially when we
are young and eager, it will happen before we have even got our
trousers off. But whether our sperm makes its exit in that
undignified manner, or as a result of well done sex, or badly done
sex, or, indeed, in the course of a good solo session, the sensation
is identical. There is a slight, sweet/sour twitch from the prostate
gland; a rather pleasant muscular gurgle from the testicles, followed
within nanoseconds by a reasonably satisfying liquid rush the length
of the old John Thomas; then, a further fraction of a second later, a
moderately agreeable liquid awareness around the tip. And that, other
than a few moments in a lifetime when there may be an extra fusillade
within the same orgasm (typically, when we have avoided ejaculation
for a lengthy period), is it. There follows a brief spell when we
feel content and sleepy, and our prostate (if we are aware of its
existence, which most of us aren't, until it starts to go wrong in
our forties) aches in quite a nice way.

That level of after-sales service tends to last no more than a few
minutes or hours before the urge builds up again. The lasting thing,
the satisfying thing, for men is not so much the scratching of that
neural itch, but the (admittedly vain) feeling of having impressed,
amazed, delighted, whatever, a woman you like and want to please. I
am almost sorry to admit this, but more than 30 years of sex have
convinced me that the male orgasm in itself is not much more
satisfying than a desperately needed wee. It is my strongly held
conviction, having been doing this stuff since the mullet haircut was
unironically fashionable, that, because of the disappointing nature
of their orgasms, it is men who crave the romantic garnish of the
slow build-up, the wistful gazing, the expression of undying love
around their sexual meat and two veg. Women, however, blessed with a
vastly more satisfying orgasmic mechanism, are able to be more
pragmatic about enjoying sex for sex's sake.

If, and admittedly it is a big if, a woman is with a man who knows
what he is doing, she will get enough physical payback from the deal
to keep her happy for days afterwards and won't be bothered by the
lack of romance, let alone love. Heterosexual men are increasingly
less into sex and more into love; women, more into sex and less into
love. This is entirely to do with the vastly better quality of the
female orgasm compared with the male version. I have talked to men
about having sex with prostitutes, which many women mistakenly
believe is the male ideal. Most men find it far less enjoyable than
they believe it will be. Emotionally uninvolved sex is a letdown for
men.

I was discussing these matters with a female friend the other day. I
thought she might be the one to undermine my theory. She is a fairly
traditional, monogamous, moral, quite religious girl, who, while
deeply involved with her career, will admit she is also actively
husband-hunting. I put my view to her that sex without a backdrop of,
at least, deep affection and, at best, love, is a waste of time and
we would all be better off doing it for ourselves. She couldn't have
agreed less. "I'm totally faithful to my boyfriends," she said, "and
I will practise and demand complete loyalty from my husband. In my
experience, though, there's absolutely nothing to beat a night of
good, old-fashioned sex with a guy who's really good and makes me
come lots, but who leaves when he's told � and doesn't start phoning
and e-mailing the next day and becoming a nuisance." Vive, as they
say, la diff�rence.

Jonathan Margolis is the author of O: The Intimate History of the
Orgasm (Century �14.99)

Intimacy is the main point of sex for me, and without it, I'd rather just have a wank whenever my hormones act up.  Some other men might get their emotional kicks out of of bragging to their male friends, marking a tally on a mental scoreboard, an ego-boosting sense of satisfaction at a job well done (that's a secondary factor that I enjoy) or whatever else appeals to them, but I suspect it's only a small minority of men for whom the physical enjoyment of sex is the primary motivation for engaging in it.

Some orgasms are better than others, though. Internal orgasms are more powerful than clitoral ones.

Sometimes they last 45 seconds and fill your whole body... sometimes they are 5 seconds and feel like  you did all that work for nothin >:(

My orgasms are brief and the article posted explained why.  But, hey, thats why I have a brain, a tongue and fingers.  I can go as long as my lover needs me to go.  I'm not a fuck and fall asleep type of guy.  I only ask that my lover lets me know what she needs and where.  I am happy to deliver!   :eyebrows:

I'd rather give than receive. I get the most pleasure pleasing someone else and I cant even get excited if I dont at least think about getting someone off.

When confronted with someone of the same mindset in bed, it becomes quite the competition :D

Ow!

Half of my friends are 'gaming friends' for playing fb games. The rest are family, old friends from school, my old band friends from when I used to promote/manage and act as a videographer, and finally my Sea Shepherd contacts. I wouldn't notice most gaming friends disappearing or at first some old school friends.

On a separate note, I love how I still look good compared to my old school friends who mostly got fat and aged poorly. :2thumbsup:

 It might not be personal.  I've unfollowed people on Twitter simply because THEY were

I doubt it. She apparently doesnt even exist anymore, meaning she blocked me. I'm going to send Zegh to see what's up, he knows her well too. Maybe she felt like I was ignoring her and maybe I was, that's the aspie in me that feels like i dont to talk to people all the time to remain close. Truth is we really havent talked for years but used to be great great friends. She would poke me a few times a week, I would poke her back... I didnt message her but she didnt message me either. IDK, i feel...bad.

I wish my orgasms lasted for 5 seconds.  A good orgasm probably maxes out at about 4 seconds for me, and most are over in 1 or 2 seconds.  I'd never describe any of them as filling my whole body.

Intimacy is the main point of sex for me, and without it, I'd rather just have a wank whenever my hormones act up.  Some other men might get their emotional kicks out of of bragging to their male friends, marking a tally on a mental scoreboard, an ego-boosting sense of satisfaction at a job well done (that's a secondary factor that I enjoy) or whatever else appeals to them, but I suspect it's only a small minority of men for whom the physical enjoyment of sex is the primary motivation for engaging in it.
I think there's also a lot of sex (for men and women) which is fueled by consumption of some substance or other (alcohol, whatever) that makes sex seem like "a good idea at the time."

I have had long lasting orgasms. I have never been able to correlate conditions, partners, positions, or any other data. Granted I am usually otherwise incapacitated to make credible observations in support of some scientific theory, but it would be nice to know. I hate the quicky dud ones that just aren't worth the effort. It's like the only point was to make a gooey mess.

The only correlating factors that I can link to better orgasms, is if it has been a few days they seem to be better. And they are A LOT better if I am edged a few times first.

I definitely did. I never sleep well on the 30th or the days leading up to it. It's the anniversary of the death of someone I was really close to, my best friend's Dad. He committed suicide 6 years ago. He was my Dad's best friend since they were kids and he married the ex and me. It came as a huge shock to everyone. Still hasn't really sunk in even after all these years. So it's shocking that I slept as deeply as I did.

I have.  I haven't told you most of the recent events in my life because I know you have a lot of your own shit on your mind.  I just keep hurting people and if what I'm thinking comes true this week, then that's another person to add to my list.  If only I could purely destroy myself; I'd love that.  But I take other people down first and I despise that about me.

Sorry everybody.  I think I'm having an emo meltdown of sorts.  I should probably log out before I embarrass myself further.

Well my shit has been going on for years and it's not going to end any time soon. My virtual door is always open to you and you know it goes no further. If you need me, I'm happy to be there for you. For now, get some sleep. Sometimes clearer heads prevail in the morning. I go by the saying worry about the things you can control, not the things you can't, and have the wisdom to know the difference. One step at a time. :hug:

I am a twin and we aren't that close. I guess if you grow up really close to someone else, it is ok because that is the way it has always been. From what I have seen and read about twins that are really close, they enjoy the bond that they share.

Prolly ought to add that I'm seeing my doctor next month (annual phsycial) and am going to be going in with a LIST of what's been going on, and say "Give me opinions.  Draw my blood.  Poke and prod to your heart's content.  Then please ffs give me some idea of what's wrong and how to fix it."

(Waiting till then because, well, my insurance covers physicals but not "sick visits," and these are chronically shitty symptoms but not much in the way of acute/I can last until dec 1.)

I woke up feeling like I had a fever again- no other symptoms though except my body temp felt off, I felt exhausted, I felt disoriented and all fucked up mentally.

I get flushing in my face/neck/head that causes a burning sensation when I have my episodes, and also chills and shivering in the rest of my body.  I can feel like I'm running a low fever for weeks at a time, although the thermometer says otherwise, so I think it's to do with peripheral blood flow rather than being a core body temperature issue.  I also get the inability to feel rested from rest thing at times, although I've been okay recently, and disorientation and general mental dysfunction are typical during my episodes.

Been there, done something similar.  Hopefully I won't need to get poked and prodded again, and my next visit to the neurologist will consist of something along the lines of being told "You have x.  Take medication y", but I doubt I'll be that lucky.

It has been quite a while since I cried like that, but I think that rash is pretty normal from the salt of the tears and runny nose.  I used cold cream on mine and it got better pretty quickly.

Is this a cream for colds, or a cold dairy product along the lines of the vaginal yoghurt?

This is what I used, but I think that another brand (other than Noxema) might be OK too:

Noxema's fine as a general cleanser and it washes away clean, unlike some other cold creams, but if you put it on sensitive skin that has been irritated from crying it will burn like fire and it won't soothe the skin.

oooh ok. thanks. I guess it wouldnt be too good for sunburn, either.. I usually use Neutrogena, it has the exfoliation with the cool feeling of Noxema :D

I used to use this non-alcoholic toner by Neutrogena. It was made of different kinds of oils, mostly eucalyptus oil. It was very refreshing and softened my skin, but I imagine it would make most people get acne. They still make it, but the formula is much different and no longer made of oil.

I think that Noxema was originally made to be a sunburn remedy because it would rinse clean and give a cooling sensation, but I learned from experience not to put it on that crying chapped skin rash.

Police in Iowa have arrested on charges of prostitution an 83-year-old man running for city council. Ben Clifford Dawson allegedly volunteered to perform sex acts on a woman in exchange for repayment of a loan. When she turned him down, he then is accused of grabbing her and kissing her neck anyway. He now faces two aggravated misdemeanor charges: prostitution and intent to commit sexual abuse.

If they don't pick up on it when talking to him, they would likely have been someone else's rebound if they weren't his.  Especially if he was retarded enough to post on a dating site profile that he still missed his ex- he won't self-censor well.

All my shirts are getting tighter.  The hell.

Ah yes.  That eternal problem.  I pulled on a Tshirt and ran out the door to take the PR to class.  It was tight and I really wasn't too happy about that.  On the way home the PR accused me of wearing one of her shirts, which are 1 to 2 sizes smaller than I wear.  Turned out she was right.  Whew.

But they aren't getting tighter how you'd expect them to. I actually lost a lot of fat, and my shoulders, arms, and chest grew. I think I'm going to end up like my Dad and his brothers. They are all broad-shouldered.

His face doesn't do anything for me for some reason :laugh:  He's a wicked actor though.  The guy he plays in Blue Valentine, I'd marry him in a heartbeart.  Kinda reminds me of the boy a bit.

Thinking that cops could rape babies live on national news and people would still come out of the woodwork to defend them, saying that the babies were dirty hippies/terrorists, the cops have such stressful, dangerous jobs that it's perfectly ok for them to blow off some steam and that the video footage doesn't show the whole story and unfairly casts the police in a bad light.

Well the real Jeremy who inspired the song (and who did indeed shoot himself in front of class) could have been undiagnosed :idea:

Not solely on my wish for it, I'd say.

And another thing.. I think the moving smileys here are the dominant factor for the board to act slower. Really do. When I type (or copy paste) stuff in the to post box my CPU goes from p/m 6% (normally) to 20% usage. When I open 'more' in the new window it goes even to a higher percentage. Not a buff in IT corner but that's my hunch.

Maybe an idea to not have as many moving smileys above the to post box. Dunno.

Good, everything is up to speed. Had a problem earlier with graphics suttering when testing out a game, turns out a driver update installed the wrong fucking version. Rollback fixed it and now it's perfect. But seriously, ATI sucks when it comes to updating a notebook graphics card driver. I found my experience with Nvidia less complicated AND it always installed the correct and specific version of the driver.

She ate the remainder of her food overnight but still hasn't moved from her fave spot in her hidey hole. She'll be there for a week or more I reckon.

One of mine hid over a month, he would come up to me, when kids were to bed, and it was dark and silent. Otherwise he'd be either hiding in a dark space on the landing, behind a small cupboard, or, under the couch.

He did have health issues though, they only became clear after a week, and treating that did make him less anxious.

The other cat was happy after a few hours already, except for the fact that she had to stay indoors till she was fully settled.

Holy shit.  Made my profile visible to straight people on OkCupid the other day and suddenly my previously dead inbox, is bursting with messages  :zombiefuck:
So I guess it's just girls seeking guys who have the obscenely unfair advantage on that site, then?


Isn't that all dating sites?
Pretty much.

They make lovely hunting grounds.

3 posts in between but hey..

Think 'we' amplify each other a bit sometimes. I know, in an somewhat aggressive setting, e.g. with the Steve 'drama', I had to watch out not being carried away in that sentiment too. Well, in a indirect way I did a little later. (surry)

Also think some here bring too much stuff/drama from other fora to I² at times. Understand a bit as of why but I simply don't care that much to read all that negative shite a/o take someone's side (or not).

I² should be considered a 'standing on its own' forum more, I think at times too. Think it deserves to be.

Yes, her. Searched up PiL shite and it showed a forum with someone who has the same username and posting style. Don't want to join and send a PM, in case it's probably someone else and to not appear creepy. :dunno:

EDIT: I could post up the link for anyone to see, in case anyone has the idea to invite her (if it's her) to i2 or something.

A past friend of mine. She just disappeared one day and I didn't hear of her since. All accounts were deleted so any attempts to search for her were fruitless, so I gave up, moved on and presumed her to be dead. Pea, Kosmo, Flake (and Adam, I think) looked too and found nothing.

Because if it's her, it'll be even more creepy on how a person I used to talk to 3 years ago was found by complete accident.

I think she would be 20, she was 17 when we lost contact. Her birthday is roughly this month too.

Yeah that's the obvious response people use for things like this, but I always try and stop myself saying it because it just doesnt sound enough does it. I always feel pathetic saying that, but never know what else to say either

My mate found out tonight that his friend got hit by a car and is on life support. They're flying over to Oregon to be with his family befofre they turn it off. Fucking messed up. Guy was about our age . Can't imagine what his parents are going thru.

I never know wtf to say when shit like this happens. I was on the phone to him when he found out. His mum was going hysterical. In his early 20s too, ended just like that.

Omg.

I'm so sorry to hear that , thoughts with your friend.  :(

"I'm sorry for your loss" exists as a way of saying "I care, even though I can't make it better."  It's better than saying nothing.  (I learned that the hard way once.)

When my cousins lost their father, I really didn't know what to say. I felt like anything I could say was probably already said by others. I actually cried a lot myself after he died, even though I wasn't that close to him. It was more because I felt for my cousins and what they were going through. I think they liked that they weren't the only ones crying at his memorial service though.

I did e-mail my cousin and explain why I hadn't said anything, and she said it was better than the ones who talk TOO much, and you just want to tell to shut up. :P

^ that's what I worry about. "I'm sorry for your loss" just sounds generic and lacking in feeling

I know it's NOT necessarily lacking in feeling, but because it's the general thing said, automatically, it feels like it isn't worth anything

People always get awkward and feel they have to apologise, whenever I have to say that my dad died last year.  I usually just wave away their apologies, say it's fine and that we weren't close to get them to shut up :P  Not about to discuss my feelings about my dead father to someone who's only an acquaintance.

A few years after we bought the house (1990 bought, built in 1963 or 64) we had to have a pipe replaced under the house.  Turned out the genius builder had put the pipe on top of a piling and poured cement over it for the foundation.  Who puts a pipe on top of a piling?

You would be amazed at the stuff I have seen.  The place today I was worried I was going to bring the ceiling down and the house was less than ten years old.  The trusses where all wrong and many of them cut or not fully connected properly.  I fear this place will one day have a roof collapse if it is ever under great strain.  I was only adding some extra insulation to level off what was there.

I have a friend who owns her own home, and the house is like some kind of twilight zone of repair issues.  Construction, plumbing, electric- you name it, it's fucked.  The house is really old, but it's awful for any age.  It's amazed every competent plumber or carpenter who's been in it.

I'm thinking that people are nonsensical.

Woman gets totally obsessed with man, woman completely ignorant of mans flaws, woman "wins" man at all costs, man deliberately ignores the fact she's a psycho bunny boiler, woman eventually gets bored having no games left to play and tosses him in the trash.

In praise of one thing she did; she grew up and finally made a mature dating choice ;)

For fuck's sake, buying and reading an eBook should not be this complicated. I've had to register for two different accounts, one of which claims I already have an account at that email address, gone through half a dozen different websites, authenticated a computer that ought to already be authenticated, and now I'm watching an progress bar that doesn't seem to have started, to convince some server somewhere that I really have the right to view the words on these pages that I already paid full retail price for.

All I want is a PDF. That is all. Goddamnit I should have just driven to the store and gotten a hard copy.

I shouldn't have shocked the sweet dishwasher at the diner.  She's about 20 or so and seems so sweet and nice.

She and the PR were talking about boys and boyfriends when she said one of her boy friends was a fire breather.  I told her to make sure he doesn't give her oral sex.  At least she recovered and said that if he did she would be a real live fire crotch.

Xenos, Kruidvat, Hema, Blokker, you can find them anywhere.

At the moment I'm most content with the Xenos one. Cost me €2 I think.

Decency , yes something you utterly lack.

Did I turn on you as soon as you posted the callout against butterflies? , did I say you were overreacting? , did I say anything like that, nope.

You however , deleted Adam for a very childish reason - someone who has been probably the greatest friend you'll ever have , not counting TOW , and then as soon as I added this smiley: Pyraxis , decided I had somehow decided Butterflies was a better friend?

I didn't make that decision , however you have proved it.

If anyone needs to learn decency it is you my sweet , I mean as you said just look at your track record with friends , how many of those friendships did you fuck up?

How can I say this nicely; Squid, just because I confided in you a few times, does not mean you know me at all.  Nor does it mean you can judge who has been my "greatest friend evah".  For that you'd need to know me just a bit better.

Yes, dank je, know about the cheaper ones. Think I'll let my eyes be properly checked before I'll go for one though. Might be that one eye is +0.5 and the other +1.0 or something. Never done a test like that, I think, and my sight has always been pretty good thus far but as of late stuff to read go a bit blurry sometimes.

Fuck, yes. That would do me nicely. A few borbons, a sleep in. Time with my kids. That is it. Maybe catch up with some friends and have a dinner together or something but nothing more onerous than that.

Being thinking about whenever or not more corporate philanthropy could be a potential solution to the financial situation. The main difficulty is figuring out how to make such a thing not only benefit society, but on how to make such generously investment have a profitable return for those who decide to invest into such a philosophy.

I guess I believe that a benevolent corporate policy that is highly profitable is possible in theory, but riddled with so many difficulties that it easier to favour the 'squeeze every dollar by being as complacent and cheap as possible'. Not sure if it's even practically possible given human nature. :dunno:

Well I'm thinking on the lines of marketing and how appearing charitable can potential increase customers, if not bolster customer loyalty to those investing. The idea would be seeing profitability in the form of more customers buying their goods and services to support such traits. That's kind of why I wrote it here, it's an incomplete thought on this subject, still pondering on it. :chin:

The problem is how worthy are the charities? The ones that court big businesses are often big businesses of their own, and waste so much of people's donations on overhead that they don't actually do much for people with real need.

Like the breast cancer machine.  :zombiefuck:

Two ideas:  Micro loans and Heifer International.  Both are extremely cheap (as inexpensive as a cell phone or a loom in some cases, chickens and goats, bees, etc.)  They ideally lead to eventual increased standards of living and an eventual larger consumer base. But it takes time.

That scary client at work who's tax still isn't finished rang the office today and said she was coming in an hour to sign her tax. Thankfully the partner had a good long appointment with her but we still didn't get all the info we needed. She still sang my praises for some reason though. I didn't dare go to the toilet or walk past the interview rooms incase she was walking out of one of them :laugh:

Watched tv a tad longer than planned yesterday, because they were to tell about a new innovative way to diagnose autism, in just a few minutes..........

Turns out someone has made a visual for the Anne and Sally story on a computer program.

So, thinking about how I got lured into watching just that little bit longer, till after the commercial breaks.




The wait was worth-while for another reason. Footage of a huge fire, very close to the library I used to study. Wonder if there will be a lot of water damage to the books and all the stuff archived.

Kitty has been getting fed twice as much as she was at the RSPCA (the lady said I was supposed to feed her more as she didn't need as much food there, being couped up in a cage most of the day sleeping and not expending the kilojoules).

And I've been sneaking her some of my food on occasion; I gave her two of my meatballs tonight :laugh:

You are correct except that the full moon sets for a particular place near sunrise and rises near sunset. From my point of view, the total lunar eclipse happened after the moon had set for me.  I set my alarm for the time it would be nearly total and was disappointed not to see it because it had already set behind the mountains when I woke up.

 It's not that odd, for one thing you can actually look directly at the moon without
 hurting your eyes, and she's more mysterious and romantic, being a creature
 of the night!  I remember seeing that rusty color during an eclipse several years ago.  8)

You could not see the full eclipse here, was before moonrise, alas.

He is home, with his ankle encased and elevated.  Still no feeling from the knee down (popeital block) and I've given him a pain pill.  He's watching TV.  Whistling, so at least for the now things are good.

Didn't get the hallway cleared at all, got 90+% of the bedroom cleared out and the beds rearranged to give him better access (will feel funny not sleeping next to him but from across the room) and all of the car cleared out.

The PR is staying the afternoon and early evening with an honorary aunt so she's coping rather well.  I managed to leave PA alone for about an hour while I got his pain Rx filled and had lunch.  And I bought some pain medication for me - Port.

Did they tell him to ice the foot off and on especially for the first 48 hours?

I did that after my ankle surgery and I think it helped with swelling and pain.

No, they didn't.  It's such a thick cast padding and wrap that I don't think cold would penetrate much.  He's to elevate it above his heart (keeping is slightly elevated is the best he can manage while watching TV).  Husbands do tend to be subborn.

When I had my ankle surgery, they put cold water packs inside the cast padding and I hooked them up to a cooler with a pump inside, which would go through a big bag of ice in a day.

Maybe you could get yourself into a study where people fuck/masturbate inside an MRI machine.

Having Sex in MRI-scan - Minimovies: Ig Nobel Prizes (Ep. 4/6) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUFWq_V86Ug#ws)

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16913288 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16913288)

Someone would have to figure out a way to keep the participant's heads stable for an fMRI of brain activity during sex, but it's currently possible to do fMRI for masturbation.

But it is hard enough to get one person inside an MRI machine, let alone two. How would that work? In my experience, an MRI machine was like a really small tunnel.

Maybe MRI machines come in different sizes, and they used a jumbo version.  I'm sure that two people could have fit into the machine that I was scanned with, with enough room to spare to allow for thrusting.

pyraxis - we have the small version here I think, as my friend who is very overweight had an MRI and had to stretch her arm over her head otherwise she wouldn't have fit into the scanner.

Mine.
His feelings as communicated to me are "I'm glad you're my friend and I love you" plus about 10 million apologies every day for what happened last year.
But anyways, I'm not pining for romance or panicking that he'll disappear, so it's all good.
The only time he mentioned romance was to say "I wish I'd been with you back then", and he specified that he was speaking of the past.

He has said to me that he wishes things had gone differently between you two.
I think at the moment he's regretting being with her rather than anyone else.
I don't really want a relationship with him at the moment despite my feelings: I'm still cautious regarding what happened last year, he's still hurting, and anything romantic from him now would, despite the pre-existing friendship, most likely be a rebound thing.

He's up and down. Mostly down.

It wasn't any conscious effort on his part to get me feeling this way, and he's done nothing that I could construe as stringing me along.

That is understandable given that you genuinely do like him.

Yeah, and the friendship is the basis for my feelings.

Well, I bit the bullet and told him; made sure to let him know that I like the way things are now and don't want them to change for a long time.

It's been happening to me for years; it's just frustrating, and kinda debilitating (I've been trying to write in the evenings but it's hard to focus when you can't sit upright in your damn chair without hurting).  I talked to my doctor about it during my last physical but she waved it away as nerves.  (I get the same thing for the chronic tiredness).  I might not have been explicit enough about just how painful it is but I told her it will wake me up at night sometimes.  It could well be nerves but it's a bit frustrating that if it can be explained by my mental stuff, then that's the first explanation they leap to.  Shitty risk management.  I do like my doctor and the office; by and large I feel listened to and taken care of, but if I didn't direct my own treatment I wouldn't get the kind of care I know I need.

On my end, when I have clients coming in with symptoms that *could* be depression or the like, I try as a general rule to encourage them to see their doctors to make sure it's just depression/whatever, and let them know it could be but it's best to be sure.  If that's the response *I* get- and I advocate for myself pretty damn well- I can't imagine the kind of care they might get, especially with government insurance (which is definitely stigmatizing).

Anyway, as is typical, it mostly went away overnight.  Not a medical emergency but god does it suck.  I have literally had to curl up in the fetal position on a friend's floor before with this, or had to curl up on a park bench walking one place to another.  I've been getting worse-than-normal acid reflux the last few weeks, and I'm sure starting doxycycline on Sunday is not helping settle my stomach.  Nor, probably, did taking a vitamin C supplement yesterday (was worried about what germs I might've run into in the doctor's office, but if I take them enough, Vit C supplements invariably fuck me up pretty bad because they are so acidic).  Am going to try cutting out the lemonade mix I usually flavor my water at home with and see if that helps.

Panadol.

It actually started yesterday but today it's gotten worse.

Have you been checked for an ulcer?

I took doxycycline for three weeks for my septic olecranon bursitis and I had to be careful to only take it with food because it was too hard on my stomach to take it on a empty stomach.

On my end, when I have clients coming in with symptoms that *could* be depression or the like, I try as a general rule to encourage them to see their doctors to make sure it's just depression/whatever, and let them know it could be but it's best to be sure.  If that's the response *I* get- and I advocate for myself pretty damn well- I can't imagine the kind of care they might get, especially with government insurance (which is definitely stigmatizing).

Anyway, as is typical, it mostly went away overnight.  Not a medical emergency but god does it suck.  I have literally had to curl up in the fetal position on a friend's floor before with this, or had to curl up on a park bench walking one place to another.  I've been getting worse-than-normal acid reflux the last few weeks, and I'm sure starting doxycycline on Sunday is not helping settle my stomach.  Nor, probably, did taking a vitamin C supplement yesterday (was worried about what germs I might've run into in the doctor's office, but if I take them enough, Vit C supplements invariably fuck me up pretty bad because they are so acidic).  Am going to try cutting out the lemonade mix I usually flavor my water at home with and see if that helps.

Have you been checked for an ulcer?

I took doxycycline for three weeks for my septic olecranon bursitis and I had to be careful to only take it with food because it was too hard on my stomach to take it on a empty stomach.
No, but I am almost certain I've had them (or something super-similar) in the past, based on symptoms.  Not to the point where I was worried or unable to function, but to the point where I thought "Oh jesus, I think I actually must have an ulcer right now.  No more vitamin c for awhile."  I think there's kind only so much you can do for them other than try to stop triggering them.

I'm thinking, "What the hell were they thinking?"  This is gross and sad on so many levels.


A South Carolina man's brother died after police said he was forced to eat cocaine hidden in his brother's backside.

Both brothers were taken into custody on allegations they had drugs in their car. But police told Charleston, S.C., TV station WCIV there were additional drugs hidden in 23-year-old Deangelo Mitchell's backside. Officers said Deangelo Mitchell convinced his brother, 20-year-old Wayne Mitchell, to swallow the ounce of cocaine to hide the evidence. He died soon afterward.

"It's sickening," North Charleston Police Chief Jon Zumalt told WCIV. "I got upset when I saw the thing. I was pretty shocked on it." Deangelo Mitchell already bonded out of jail on the drug charge, but now police are looking for him again on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

I was watching Rick Stein's food program on the BBC. It ended 5 minutes ago. Theme is the Spanish cuisine and he stated, whilst looking around in a BIG indoor fish market somewhere in northern Spain, that it seems that folks who eat a fair amount of seafood tend to be more happy than folks who dislike seafood. It was just a thought expressed by him but I think there is a core of truth in it. (Think folks who eat well feel better/more positive in life than folks who 'fastfood' all the time.)

My former neighbours ate fish almost daily. (They prepared it outside, so, yes, I do know) They were a chagrin loud bunch of people.

The neighbours before that followed almost the same diet (They did burn their fish less) and, were very cheerful and friendly.

Consider investing in a latex mattress; they cost more than sprung mattresses, but they last longer and they're more comfortable, and they don't smell and off-gas VOC's like memory foam mattresses can do.  I got one a couple of years ago, and I love it; there are no more springs and wires digging into my back, and it's firm, so I don't roll down into a depression in the centre of it. 

They don't squeak or creak, so you could cut down on bed-related sex noises if you combined one with the right bed frame.  Mine has a fabric case with some wool padding surrounding the latex core, which can be removed and dry cleaned.

They're really heavy, so getting them into position can take a bit of effort.

Will make things complicated. I will have to pay back, in two months, and my well-fare income is depending on how much I earn, so, they pay enough to get me on minimal living standards income.

I wonder if they will pay me in two months extra, for what I have to pay back to the company on what I got too much in December.

I always get this urge to give horrendously insane advice to people on WP just to freak them out.

Like, "How do I get a girlfriend?"
"Stalk her and then kidnap her and keep her captive until Stockholm Syndrome kicks in, then you're all right. :thumbup:"

"How should I approach a person I'm interested in?"
"NAKED, and yelling out your expressed feelings of love while masturbating furiously."

"Some gave me a strange look and muttered something, what do I do?"
"IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED! Finish them!"

Problem is I wouldn't last long if I did that and probably get in serious shit if some idiot actually takes my "advice" seriously. :(

True, but some of them sound so whiny and obnoxious and when you take hear the cliche responses, the temptation to 'pet it up a bit' with insanity gets rather strong.

"People call me weird"
"Blind them with pepper spray so they can't tell next time!"

"Why do people hate me?"
"WHY DON'T YOU HATE THEM BACK WITH A CHAINSAW?"

"How do I fit in at a party?"
"Push everyone out of the room and guard it with your life, kill anyone who tries to re-enter, it's all yours now."

"I'm caught in a love triangle, what do I do?"
"Divide the body with a hacksaw, slowly, and then fuck the half that belongs to you."

"My sibling is teasing me about a show I like"
"CUFF them to a chair and cut out their eye lids and put headphones on them. Force them to watch and hear your favourite show for days on loop without food, they'll submit or die... eventually."

I'm assuming the people who are buying bunkers will by and large have also bought books and other media on 2012 beforehand.

The entrepreneurs taking advantage of the panicking idiots will prolly also have done a fair bit of research to be convincing.

Well, Ambien didn't work very well.  PA only slept 3 hours before waking up.  And no nocturnal sex.  Damn.
My mother apparently had the infamous side effects with Ambien when she was with her latest ex husband.  (She was kind enough to share this information with me at the time.  :facepalm:)  I think she was smoking a lot of weed at that time, too, though, and god knows how much, or what else, considering that's just what she admits she was doing.

Family Christmas letter? Who writes it? I haven't heard of one of those before.

One aunt uncle and family, and another uncle and aunt send us a long letter every christmas telling us about everythng that happened during the year.

Many a boasting about cars, holidays, boats and investment properties purchased is contained within. At least the aunt and uncle were a little bit more humble this year seeing as the majority of their year involved fixing their flood damaged house in Emerald :hahaha:

Occasionally we might send one back but we often feel too inadequate after reading theirs.

I figured that out by your response; prior, I realized only after I'd posted that I had made sort of a WP-eqsue post in response.

And, ironically, I developed an obsessive interest about having a broader social circle and meeting new people over the last year, so my ability to respond was based more on my aspielike approach to social than on any natural skillz I may have.

Can you really reset a tolerance you have developed for a medicine like that?
Give it a week or two and you'll be back to where to where you were before.
Yeah, I suspected as much.

Edit: Do you know if taking breaks with Ritalin and the like is generally a good idea?
Doesn't do any harm imo. You just go back to what you were like before you started taking it. May have a few withdrawals (feeling hungrier and sleepier than usual) but loads of people go off the stimulants periodically to avoid tolerance levels going up.

Breaks can be a bit disruptive for me, since I sleep for most of the time I'm off the meds and when I go back on them, I have mild to moderate insomnia for a few days, which can cause day-time fatigue until I stabilise again, so I only take breaks when I don't have anything important to do.  I also have more muscle problems when I'm off the meds; even just moving around the house tends to be physically exhausting, although that can also be the case at times when I'm on the meds.

YMMV on how effective it is; sometimes I feel great after a break and the feeling lasts for a couple of weeks, other times I'm right back to where I was before after a few days.  I think it might be partly to do with my muscle disorder issues; the dexamphetamine only helps a bit when I'm feeling shitty from them, so if I'm going through a bad patch with those issues, taking a break from the meds might not seem to make a big difference.

There are really only two ways to maintain the effectiveness of stimulants; you can increase the dose to compensate for your increasing tolerance, or you can take breaks to decrease your tolerance.  The latter is healthier and more sustainable in the long term, and also the only option when you can't arbitrarily raise your prescribed dose.

To add to what Peter said, you could take Ritalin based on your need for it. If you are going to stay home and relax all day, you could try going without it.

The therapist I talked about Ritalin with said he had three types of users. The occasional user, for when attention was really needed and all other strategies did not work. The constant users, and the users who took their occasional breaks, mainly for having a night with alcohol.

Ritalin was the only ADHD med that could be used in those three ways without a problem (only of the meds available here in the Netherlands that is)

So, breaks will probably do you no harm.

Yup. The guys a douch. I thought he was cool at first, but after his performance with Eris, I realised he had serious issues.
He seems to feel the need to get involved in stuff that doesn't affect him, and then wonder why his views aren't welcome.

Annoying, whiney, self-righteous, self-important wanker.

Well, I'm thinking that it's nice to finally settle into my (boring) daily routine again. This after the holidays (in a way almost the whole month of December here) and my oldest sister visiting me the last couple of days. Love them and I'm glad they did.. but ja, I, a total self-centred chap, function best on my own terms without too much fuzz going on.

He's not really whiny, and definitely not demanding.
He's just bored because he hasn't left the house except for a doctor visit and an hour's visit to McDonalds to talk with his group. 
He hates being dependent.
The PR's mental issues are driving us up the wall right now.  We're all on edge right now.  (Yes, we're trying again to get help for her, but finding someone who can deal with a 23 y/o with the mind of a 10 y/o is hard.)

I hated being so dependent when I was recovering from my ankle surgery too and I was frustrated with my slow recovery although my husband could not have been kinder even though he was frustrated with having to do all the work I had been doing, which involved a long drive for him and making food for all of us, including our daughter's lunches every school day and driving me to numerous doctor's and physical therapy appointments along with also doing his own job.  Will the Prince have physical therapy like I did?

I'm not sure about the PT.  I know he has another 3 or so weeks in the cast, then maybe 6 weeks of increasing weight bearing in a walking boot.  I'm thinking he will probably need some PT to learn proper walking technique since the ankle will not be able to bend. 

He goes back to the doctor Friday, which is 1 month after the surgery, for an X-ray.

I hope that the x-ray gives him good news.

My mother badly broke her ankle in her twenties and they had to fix it with pins that allowed only hinge-type movement up and down as opposed to her being to make a circle with her foot so she couldn't easily walk on uneven ground, for example, and her ankle caused her pain for the rest of her life.

I know that the fusion surgery is to avoid the bone on bone pain in your ankle and that there will be no movement at all in that joint after the surgery is successful, but I feel having to walk as if there's a cast boot on your ankle for the rest of your life would cause pain in other joints.  I hope that I'm wrong.

I agree with the extra stress on other joints.  I haven't told PA he'll probably need PT to learn how to walk to minimize the stress on other joints.  But, he'll be 70 next Thursday so who knows how all this will spin out.

I learned something new today:

Quote from: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/cogwheel+rigidity
rigidity:
inflexibility or stiffness.
clasp-knife rigidity
increased tension in the extensor of a joint when it is passively flexed, giving way suddenly on exertion of further pressure; seen especially in upper motor neuron disease.
cogwheel rigidity
tension in a muscle that gives way in little jerks when the muscle is passively stretched.
lead-pipe rigidity
posture adopted when the rigidity of the limb is maintained equally throughout the passive flexion.
rigidity reflex
the state of immobility generated in female animals, especially those in estrus, when they make physical contact with a male.

What are they saying?  I understood only a few phrases, like "Honestly, and you know what; what's the point?" and "Scumbag, scumbag."

Guy - When I slept, when I slept with someone else, I tell her that, right...

Girl - Aye, but it's there, it is there...

Guy - But when she done it she lied.  Are you in love?

Girl - But did I do it there apart from that did I?

Guy - Well...

Girl - You did.  Well, but, now you're to say, see when you finally get the balls to admit it, you're going to say one or two lassies.  It is clear, it is clear...  No I'll fu<bleep> keep it and guess what your daughter will see when she's fu<bleep>.  I dare, honestly, and do you know what?  What's the point, and you're going to, you're going to hit me up over the next couple of days...

Guy - No, I'm not even going to talk to you.

Girl - ...when you're not on the telly, bubbling and greeting (crying), you're going to come bubbling and greeting on your knees...

Guy - How?  It's me who's always finished it.

Girl - ...and going about "it was only one, it was only one".  What did I (censored), what did I say?

Guy  - I don't even want to talk to you.

Girl - Scumbag.  Scumbag. (censored)

Guy - I don't even want to talk to you.

IMO, if the $1 pregnancy test is used correctly before the expiration date, I would believe it especially if it gave a positive result.  Most pregnancy tests work in the same way, but some of them are more sensitive than others.

One is supportive in general, and it's just a timing issue.  The other is the toxic friend I've referenced before, who has swung from completely inaccessible to asking on my damn facebook wall if she can be included in activities I mention doing/planning- and have not invited her to.  (Gee, you think there's a reason?)  You can probably guess at least part of how I feel about that.

I was giving that teenage boy a blowjob and my phone kept ringing. i kept ignoring it. well my ringtone is a loud heavy metal song so the boy wanted to turn the phone off. So the next time it went off he saw the screen and said "it's your dad". i took it off him and turned the phone off.

The mood was like, ugh... I finished blowing him of course, but the whole time kept thinking that my dad wanted to talk to me at the same time i was giving head and it made me want to just die.

That's weird.  It wasn't locked when I posted in it.

I just checked the Mod log and no admin locked it, so the person who started the thread must have locked it maybe by accident.

 I'm thinking how much a good soundtrack improves a movie.  Specifically, I'm listening to
 selections from Elliot Goldenthal's Interview With The Vampire soundtrack, and
 thinking how dull the movie would have been without his work.  I've watched IWTV
 many times, and it sure as hell isn't to see Tom Cruise.  :P

It's a good soundtrack. A little uneven in quality, but it works.

I almost spit out my drink at the "seance" part, lol.

Do men really still spend money like this on their women?  Like, for serious, this is still supposed to be normal?

It's normal to not want to sit next to your partner at a restaurant unless it's valentine's day?  Groping is more difficult when you're not sitting side-by-side.  Not sure that really needs to be romantic to have an upside, let alone happen on vday.

D'you think it'll be easier on you when you start the hormones, or is it unrelated to wanting to avoid having a feminine body shape?

If my estimates are correct, Israel will be attacking Iran as early as late March, but I still think around June-July. The sheer level of rhetoric, propaganda and false-flag terrorist bombings (I mean FFS, the same magnetic bombs and execution method were used on those Israeli diplomats as the assassination of the Iranian scientist) lately shows desperation to excite a war. This feels like deja vu all over again (it's like they recycled the script they used on Iraq, srsly) and worse part is, they'll do it regardless if anyone calls them out on their bullshit. ::)

It's sheer insanity because this will escalate into a world war, maybe not immediately, but it will inevitably, mark my words.

Maybe you could start by setting your alarm for 11:00AM, then gradually change it rather than doing it all at once.  I have been waking up at 6:00AM or 6:30AM for years, but on the weekends I sometimes sleep in.

Definitely. The amount of times I get headaches or migraine that coincide with going out or going away for a few days.

I used to think it was from stress leading up to it back when I had bad social anxiety, but not I think it's partly that I'm worrying I will have one while I'm there, so the worrying about getting a migraine gives me at least a  very painful headache

It's frustrating

Eris would probably like this kid (except he's too high-functioning- has a job and a car); turns out he's too young for me to want to want to date, but might be a cool guy (and might have older friends) and I was primarily hunting him for a friend who thought he was cute (she'll add him too when she wakes up and gets on facebook, I bet).  It turns out one of the primary interests he has on facebook is something I'm starting to get into a little and keep trying to get friends to come do with me (less exciting than it sounds, lol), so it makes sense in my head to say "Hey would you like an invite when I'm trying to get a group together for this?"

He was kinda sorta chatting me up first, which was what made me feel like it was OK to ask what his last name was right before I left (for the obvious purpose of cyberstalking him and maintaining contact).  The friend I was hunting him for said the look on his face was priceless, lol.

It might be creepy to invite a random guy you just met to a 'thing you're doing' if you're planning on 'doing' yourself, although I imagine it would also be a welcomed invitation.

Maybe someday, but not right now.  I haven't yet *completely* given up on getting into a committed, long-term relationship, and for that to work, the guy really needs to have his cerebral cortex fully developed.  This kid's a couple years from that.

Yeah I'm leaning towards that.  Also, I'm really kinda lucky I'm a girl, lol, because if I was a guy I'd either be quirky-charismatic, or still a virgin- coin toss.

If you mean in response, she just stood there giving me the look as I walked on smirking. She's passive-aggressive and will not retaliate with pure aggression.

If you mean what she did in the past that led me to give her the finger, she messed my brother up for a while (as they were in a relationship). And I'm not going to forgive her just because she was being "friendly".

I meant what did she do in the past that motivated you to give her the finger but I was curious about how she took getting the finger as well, so thanks for answering both questions.  How is your brother doing now?  Is he still grieving over what she did to him or is he just thinking good riddance?

My brother's ex-wife cheated on him with his (ex) best friend and it took him years to stop grieving and move on to just thinking good riddance to both of them.  I would never have the fortitude to give her the finger because she is still my nephew's mother no matter what else she did to my brother, but I know the feeling.

I was thinking that Ethiopia basically is sitting on gold but due to probably colonialism-like/sneaky western capitalistic tactics , lack of economic spirit and very cowardly political bullshite there they're not picking the fruits of all their coffee (bean) plantations AT ALL. How sad it is that folks there are so incredibly poor (not sure but think Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries around) and yet they have something the world really really really wants.

Why the fuck they don't have more wealth there is.... well, wrong.. to say the least.

Pick two issues you feel the most compassion for.  Focus yourself on the cunts in those areas.  Let the rest of the world deal with the cunts in the other areas.

He's doing fine now. Still gets short "very slightly provoked" angry bouts every now and then ever since the breakup, but he had good support from us while he was still grieving which made it easier for him. He's basically over her now but might still feel a bit of trauma as he did all the giving emotionally while all she did was sap all his energy out of him and heavily flirting with other guys including me in front of him (and, no, I never reciprocated and I even rejected her flirting for which my brother would be grateful when we had a talk about it).

Feminists argued that it stated something about someone's private life.. unnecessarily so.. and that men never had to officially..

Well, I'm not thinking about it any more now. Kinda moved on.. :P

Banned? That is sad. Some people really need to get over it.

i remember in my french classes that madam and mademoiselle was more about age and not marital status. i mean you live right next door im sure you know more than me, but i always thought it wasnt about being married and you become a madam when you turn about 30

and banning ? psh, nonsense. ill call the bitch a sloppy seabass dykeface. lets see them ban me for that.

If you should ever see Queen Elizabeth's marriage certificate, it lists her as "spinster."  If it was good enough for her, then it was good enough for me to use when I was single.  Funny though, how it made men uncomfortable to hear the word.

Um, I don't care much about that French government decided not to address women in official documents as mademoiselles any more now. Just read it on teletext and thought..

I've made up with one of the girls that bullied me.  Otherwise there's really just plain nothing to miss.  It's not like I stayed in the same school system long enough to develop close ties to anyone, ever.  The school I technically graduated from, I spent maybe a couple of weeks attending, there at the end.  The high school I spent the most time at, I was a year ahead of everyone I was in classes with in terms of credits, so the ten-year reunion there would actually be two years away.

Why, you miss people from your alma matter?

I thought it was only banned in official use? ie the govt stop referring to people as mademmoisel (fuck lol) or madame?

In which case I think it's perfectly acceptable.  But then I think the govt shouldn't be referring to you as anything other than your name, so maybe I'm different

I really doubt they;re actually banning other people saying it

You're right there, Adam.. Fr. government will stop referring women as mademoiselle. Think it makes sense too.

Of course folks in general can use the word still but that was spot on what I was thinking of when I posted that, maybe not too clear, post of mine.

We kinda had the same thing in Holland before (mevrouw/married and (me-)juffrouw/unmarried) but that died out after the 60/70s(?) here. First officially but gradually 'we' stopped using it pretty much so too. Well, some might still use it occasionally but.... officially it's 'mevrouw' in general here. Or some title thing like doctor, etc..

Wondered if that's going to happen in France also.

So proud of the PR today. This is her 3rd week with the handicapped bowlers and she bowled 3 spares and a 101 for her first game today. 

She wore calf length jeans and a long loose Tshirt to bowling (nothing tacky), had her hair in a low ponytail with the hair looped back through the ponytail to make a soft roll.  She looked very much like a young lady and as normal as she could with her handicaps.  Even had her hand on the back of her hip with the hip jutting out while waiting for her turn to bowl.

I don't understand what my first assignment is meant to be about. Or whether it is an essay or a report. I have to define psychometric terms and conduct multiple data analyses. Stats again, blech.
What kinds of tests/what kind of analyses?
It is to do with aspects of psychological assessments. Have to interpret scale data using descriptives, norms, reliability, validity, discrimination and difficulty using PASW (SPSS). I don't know how I am going to make this into a 3000 word assignment. The instructions for it seem really vague.

Ah, SPSS.  Kind of a fun program to play with.  Some of it, I assume, is knowing how to match the type of data and research question to the correct kind of test?  I remember making it spit out descriptives, but as far as the rest, I can see how you'd use it to give you data you could make inferences from, but there isn't, for example, a direct test for validity IIRC (I don't think a computer can do that... if it can, I think it would have to be with a much more complex program than SPSS).  Is "difficulty" being used in a specialized, science-y way, or does it just mean "difficulty?"

Also, are you supposed to have some kind of lit review in there, if it's supposed to be 3,000 words?  The way we were taught to write up interpretations of the data was very specific (pretty much different form responses you'd fill in the blanks of with your data and variable names) and not exactly wordy.

For inferential stats I have used SPSS in the past for calculating ANCOVAs and SPANOVAs in my assignments. For validity we are meant to look at convergence or divergence and criterion (performance) on one scale. I think I am going to have to get out my old SPSS book about this.

For difficulty there is a formula to work it out, it means the proportion of the people who answer a test item correctly. The higher the proportion, the lower the difficulty.

I think I will use as much literature review as I can because that will help my word count. But you are right, this doesn't seem like something that would seem wordy enough to write a long assignment on.

I get the feeling that I'm going to age gracefully.  My mum has very few wrinkles and just a few grey hairs at 64, my dad smoked like a chimney for most of his life, ate crap and never exercised, but has kept his hair and didn't go grey until his mid 50's, and my mum's older brother is balding but still has the colour to his hair.

Waggy woke me up at 3am last night to get me to lift her onto mum's bed and put a blanket over her.  She'll let mum lift her up if I'm not available, but she's much happier when I do it, and she settles better; sometimes she'll jump back off mum's bed after mum has lifted her up just so that she can get me to lift her and tuck her in.

I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16 and I had to be home by 11:00 PM until I went to college, which was when I was still 17.  I thought that was kind of overprotective.

Still, I'm glad that I had two parents that both cared about me.  Now that my daughter is 15, I wonder if they saw me in the same way when I was 15.

As surgical procedures go, I'm sure this is pretty mild, but I'd really rather never have to undergo it.

No, it was completely coincidental.  Someone mentioned blue waffles, so I googled it (http://www.bestgore.com/sexual-disaster/blue-waffle-infection-pictures/) (turned out I'd seen it before), ended up watching reactions to shock videos on Youtube and then saw the transanal surgery video in the sidebar and decided to see what the hell they were doing to that guy's arse.

What I couldn't figure out was why they put that port in his anus.  I wonder if they could operate with a scope through one of the three holes in the port?

Maybe anal probes need a stable platform to hold them securely while they probe anuses.

I guess it doesn't have to be as long as I can convert things to PDF. Work also has MS office and I may need to email things to work to print stuff out. I don't know what version work has though :apondering:

Openoffice can do more or less anything that MS Office can do, and it can save files in multiple MS Office formats.  I just checked, and Openoffice can convert documents to PDF.

It's going to be very interesting if everyone is on ignore?

BTW, how do you know if someone is ignoring you?  I could tell before, but I'm not sure now.

Before, the ignore function was an external mod. Now the function is part of SMF. I have to admit, I don't know how to check who ignores whom.

I really prefer to have the ignore status private.  That way the possibility of hurt feelings is lessened.  Sometimes I want to put someone on ignore for a "silly, personal" reason for just a short while.  If they don't know about it then I don't have to explain it to them.

You're just pretending to ignore me because I'm so much smarter than you that you can't comprehend my brilliant intelligence and communication skills.  Since I can't speak, of course I can't say "anything", much less "something."  You're doing this to tease me.  You're not a nice person and I don't like you.  So there.

 What connection do you see between slow learning and meanness?  :dunno:

It's hard because it's a long story but my whole family are mostly slow learners and they have these characteristics. They've caused me a lot of harm because I'm so different than they are, even as an adult. I have seen it with others as well and finally drew a parallel. I was reading a few nights ago about how whiz kids can be made by scarring the brain stem. They have understood for a long time how the brain compensates when there is damage. I don't know if the information is true but it accounts for my situation. I was also in a cruel environment with idiots who abused and tortured me for my differences and this caused me a lot of challenges and difficulties. I'm a very passive person by nature and have a lot of love. It took a very long time for me to even feel what I feel now and it's very uncomfortable for me to feel that way too. They are the exact opposite in every way. I'm the one who was brain injured and the only left handed person in my family as well and left handedness is also associate with brain injury. I had a photographic memory when I was a child and still far better memory than the average person. I was prevented from going to school by my mother and singled out for abuse by her, the worst kinds of abuse anyone has heard of. It's a very long story but I have reasons for my feelings and they are justified. I have noticed a pattern of bad behavior with slow learners. They can be nice people too but don't get on their wrong side. They hate me just for being who I am. I now, after a long history of very bad abuse, have similar feelings for them but it took a lot to get me to this place and I find it very painful to have the negative feelings too.

From what I read it appears to be well known that the brain can overcompensate when damage occurs and result also with photographic memory. My early infantile autism and classic autism as a child was likely also the result of the brain injury because there's nothing else in my family that would explain it.

I use unscented soap because I have allergies, so, not by the smell of soap, or lack of smell of soap.  My workout clothes still smelled like sweat, though, which is why I suspected I may not have used detergent.  Rewashing made the desired improvement- though, with the workout clothes, they'll prolly never exactly be mountain breeze fresh, considering I'm doing cardio in them on a daily basis.

The lack of smell of sweat was what I meant indeed.

A while ago I did some really dirty washing for someone else, and decided to use 50% more of detergent. It came out smelling way better than I expected. Now I have upped the dosage of detergent for sweaty washing from myself too. Does make a difference.

Why do they depict the British as such retards in movies? Are they just inbred, degenerate lunatics or is it just a coincidence they are characterized that way? Serious question!
Who is 'they'? 

If it is, indeed, a serious question then which movie/s do you mean? and exactly where in the film/s are the inbred, degenerate, British lunatics?

I don't think that all movie makers depict British people like that, but a few might, the same as some movies could depict American people as inbred redneck degenerate lunatics, like Deliverance does, for example.

No, I didn't say all. I was watching old British films all day yesterday on TCM. I wouldn't worry about. Americans are equally retarded as depicted in film and otherwise.

Two things (aren't I smart that I can think of 2 things at once?)

2)  What is the name of the book by Heinlein (or Asimov) that had the lead female character's body painted by her husband?  It was published in the late 60's I believe.

No, they use a variety of methods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decaffeination) to decaffeinate coffee but not chlorine.  They used to use benzene to decaffeinate coffee which is what I think you must have meant.

I just checked for you and the decaffeinated coffee that I drank was NESCAFÉ, which was decaffeinated with a "natural water decaffeinating process."

Quote
Although there are numerous ways to decaffeinate coffee, NESCAFÉ uses a natural water decaffeinating process to retain the smooth taste and aroma that is unique to NESCAFÉ. That means, with NESCAFÉ decaff, you'll get the same full coffee flavour that you'd expect.

Or, maybe be firm, and just give her less.

Probability is a funny thing! In a lottery like ours, the odds of a specific person winning are the 14/15 million odd to 1 against, for each set of numbers. Yet, if 60 odd million such sets are sold, the odds somebody will win are (obviously) about 3 to 1 in favor! Hmmmm.

14/15 million to 1 against, Callaway! (Can't be bothered calculating the exact odds, feel free to do so but it's simple probability theory, GCSE level.) 6! in a scientific calculator (6x5x4x3x2x1)

There are toys where you can hide the dry food in. The cat will play, while eating, and will have to exercise to get her food. Seems to work really well. I don't know anyone having a ball like that for a cat, but, I do know someone who uses it for her dog, and is very pleased with the results.

Yes, some cats are like that. One of mine is too. Not that he eats that much, but, in the night he even may wake me, to get me to escort him to an already filled food-tray.   :facepalm2:

Do you have any NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxyn?

Maybe it could help.

I fell and twisted my knee a few days ago.  I went to the doctor just to make sure I didn't injure it badly and he checked it out and ordered X-rays.  Nothing was broken.  I have been taking two OTC naproxyn 220mg tablets twice a day and using cold packs as advised by the doctor and it's doing much better.

Ibuprofen took the worst away for a while when I finally took it in the evening. I was on a road trip when I wrote the above, though, and didn't bring any with me.

It's cool that you only have to call in to see if they need you rather than you having to show up every day for a week to see if they need you, but do they actually have court cases being heard on the weekends?  That's weird, IMO.
True. and yes on the website it says call weekends and holidays even

What that means is that you should call on Sunday to find if you're needed for Monday duty.  Similarly for a holiday. 

BTW, if you're sent home without being selected blame the lawyers for playing chicken and settling at the last minute rather than go to trial.

I am sleepy and recalling a dream I had about an evil tornado with a consciousness that liked to kill people on purpose. If any survivors were left in its wake, it would go back and throw things around some more till they were dead. I had to pretend to be dead so it would move on to another target.  Last night I had that same dream again, but it was a little different. The tornado in this dream was more easily fooled.  The other one seemed much sharper and scarier. The wind was so cold in that dream. I wanted to hide under a blanket but had to stay still to appear dead.

She loves it.  It's a Sponge Bob Square Pants ball.  However, I found out after I told her about it and she simply HAD TO HAVE IT and ordered it, that she bowls with an 8 pound ball.  So with no holes in the SBSP ball and it being too heavy it's been making very loud noises when dropped on the living room floor.  I'll let her take it tomorrow and see what she can do with it at the bowling alley.  (Yes, I know holes have to be drilled in the ball, which may on may not happen depending on tomorrow's adventure.)

effectiveness > originality

Do you want to talk about what it's like for a 28 year old man to live at home with his parents now?
What it's like to be without a job or any life skills?
What about watching a woman pretend to be raped makes you erect?

I'm still waiting for answers to all these things.  But go ahead and try to keep ignoring it, I'm sure it will eventually go away and won't leave everyone watching with the opinion that you are a loud-mouthed pussy.

Nice try, but none were ad homs as you have no ideas that you are presenting.

I'm sure Mum's already suggested this, but don't you think you'd need to read a book every now and then? It might save you from the semantic trouble you've found yourself in lately.

It is a pain when you realise all those cool words mean something else than you thought they did. I understand. You could use it to your advantage if you were a sports writer, but that would mean leaving home.

Those who have been DX`ed prior can still consider themselves Aspie, although we can also just say Autist, if we choose. To those of us desinated HFA with Aspergers, cant see where it will matter

newbies to a DX, will probably just be defined as HFA

Yes, because members here can change their names when they want to.  Lots of people call him MLA and a few call him Hubert or even German Girl, from Al's guide.

I saw "MLA" and "German Girl" respond in the same thread under separate names.  ???

Probably a function of the quote feature.  Doesn't update name changes.

I could've guessed that already. Again, my memory (photographic though it may be) is sometimes faulty, so take my recollection of said thread with a brick of salt; I saw two separate posts under the usernames MLA and German Girl.

Yes, because members here can change their names when they want to.  Lots of people call him MLA and a few call him Hubert or even German Girl, from Al's guide.

He has just the one account as far as I know, though.

Just to demonstrate, Callousway is still my same account but with a different name.  You might call her my evil twin.

 >:D
Thought about questioning you why, and now I don't have to think about that any more.

I thought that it might be helpful to demonstrate.

Now, there will be a quote of Callaway quoting Hykeaswell quoting Callousway.

Well, your dawn is almost right.  She insists on wearing Daisy Dukes.  Well, she had on a fuschia pair of Daisy Dukes and a pair of my lime green underpanties.  Which showed.  In fact you could see quite a lot of her biscuits.  There were 2 old men at the diner who were almost having conniptions trying not to stare at her since she walks around the place, stands close to the TV on the wall, etc. 

I bought 3 pair of mid-thigh shorts and 1 pair of capris for her.  Now to get them on her and not have them disappear into the black hole called her room, never to be seen again.

The urchin might not reach the pedals necessary to propel the car forward but he'd be more than welcome to see what the V8 can do.

Maybe you could tell her that a lady doesn't let her panties show under her clothes.

My daughter has either leggings or bike shorts to wear under all her dresses as well as some skorts she picked out where the shorts under the skirts are too short (IMO).

In her case, she has no maidenly modesty and would jump on a trampoline with her dress flying over her head, or sit on a chair with her feet also on the chair seat, but she will wear the leggings or bike shorts so her panties won't show.

I'm thinking about Pepsi Crystal. I thought it tasted gross. It wasn't very popular and was discontinued. There are people who are big fans of it and wish Pepsi would redistribute them.
I remember pepsi crystal. it was popular in the 1990s, I think it was discontinued because everyone assoiciated soda with a brown fizzy drink instead of a clear fizzy drink

Quote
    "If it comes down a decision between rare native species, which are perhaps better served by being on an island because of predation issues, and a non indigenous population of creatures which shouldn’t really be there then we’ve got to go with the native species every time.

    "I would hope that people come to Scotland to see native wildlife and habitats rather than a quirk of history.

    "Ultimately, we all have a responsibility to try and promote and protect our native wildlife. To disregard that in order to maintain a tourist oddity is not the right thing to do."[7]

You'd think there would be more islands they could use for the preservation of the capercaillie.
History is full of quirks. That's what makes it interesting. As long as those wallabies don't take over the whole of Scotland, I don't see that much harm.

But, that's me. I don't know nothing about the situation there.

Getting on a new one.  It's not bad, it's just change, which is.... temporary-bad.  Long term I think it will be good... I hope.

Not a delicacy, just what I had in the house.  The PR had some garlic bread, cut to make a pocket, warmed in a frying pan.  Stuffed it with bologna and added mustard, chips on the side.  Just creative cooking to use what's on hand.

BTW, if anyone has a chance to get a smoked turkey carcass, it makes the most delicious chicken soup.  CBC's post about the ham and Christmas reminded me of it.

Man’s lawsuit says circumcision 'robbed' him
Updated: Apr 17, 2012 1:40 PM CDT
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota prison inmate is suing the hospital where he was circumcised as a newborn, saying he only recently became aware that he'd undergone the procedure and that it robbed him of his sexual prowess.       

Dean Cochrun, 28, is asking for $1,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. He also asks in the lawsuit that his foreskin be restored "in the hopes I could feel whole again," though he acknowledged that he didn't expect such a restoration to be anything more than aesthetic.

Cochrun, who is imprisoned in Sioux Falls on a kidnapping conviction, filed the federal lawsuit Friday against Sanford Hospital. Cochrun claims that an "unknown doctor" at the then-named Sioux Valley Hospital misled his mother to believe that the procedure was medically necessary. Cochrun argues that the procedure was unnecessary, unethical and without medical benefit.

"I was recently made aware of the fact that I had been (circumcised) and that ... I was robbed of sensitivity during sexual intercourse as well as the sense of security and well-being I am entitled to in my person," he argued in the lawsuit, adding that neither he nor his partners would "have that sensitivity during sexual intercourse and have a normal sex life."

Cochrun isn't represented by a lawyer in the lawsuit, which includes a letter from Sanford officials responding to a letter requesting that his foreskin be replaced. Patient relations representative DyAnn Smith replied that Sanford would not pay for the procedure.

"There will be no further correspondence about this matter," she wrote.


Two Questions:

He only found out recently he's circumcised and he's 28?
What kind of normal sex life is he going to have in prison?

Good questions.

I'm guessing that he's talking about prison sex.

Third question:  Does he think the hospital saved his foreskin for 28 years in case he wanted it back and does he think that it would fit him now?

That is fucked up. I once misplaced an AG Russel 87H one hand knife for 3 months. Of course that was a $90 at the time. 27 carats is a good size fire agate to misplace. I remember when you posted that @ WP back in 2008 I think.

This is one of the better movies themes ever written.

The end, where Duncan shows that he is more than just the King's lapdog and Alice deprives Magwa of victory, is fucking great. Wes Studi was great as Magwa.

Good movie ppk.  :thumbup:

Yep. I've looked everywhere, The couch (we have a sectional.) So it isnt hard to check there, Took all the cushions off broke up the couch, looked under it. Looked in all my drawrs, bed, under my bed, closet, kitchen cupboards, bathroom. Etc. EVERYWHERE

The little guy is gone. My dad does really weird shit, (hes mentally ill.) Like he will sit in the dark in the living room and "talk" to God. Gods even told him to buy certain things, wich he then ran out and bought. He also Stares at the palm of his hand for like hours. (Wich if you ever see a dude doing that, It is a little freaky to say the least.) So I think god told him to hide it from me, Or take it So I wouldnt go back to arizona

I caught my dad in a lie this morning. So, My lease is up on the 31st of may, and he told me that his social worker said that If I stayed a few days past in june that he would be able to stay in this apartment for atleast another year. Well, that wasnt the truth.
The social worker told me, (I called her.) That she was going to ask if my dad could live in the apartment for another year with ajusted rent or something until they could put him into a one bedroom. but that it wasnt a for certain thing

So basically he lied, I called him on it and he said, "Well that was my understanding. sorry if it seems like i lied"

I'm thinking 'that was a good meal'

Just finished off most of a roast chicken, and a big bowl of spicy king prawns in sweet and sour sauce, and two peach yogurts. Ending it all with a can of tennent's super (UK brand of high-strength lager), I think I might just have some mojito too. And 30mg of oxycodone IR.

Stuck my dressing gown on, and now I'm nice and warm, well stuffed, and contented, sitting back and smoking my pipe. Lol. Like a 25yo old fart. Eyes half closed and wondering weather to nibble on the giant chewy chocolate chip cookies I have, or some sour strawberry jelly candies. Might save the cookies for later though. After munching down most of that roast chicken (my family just take a breast between two when they do a chicken and save me the rest. I've saved a few scraps for breakfast but ate almost all of it, after chowing down the sweet and sour prawns I got from the chinese the other day.

Other than thinking 'mmm I'm stuffed and comfy as can be' I'm thinking that I wish my 4-methoxy-phencyclidine would hurry up and arrive...and I need to buy some more pins and micron filters so I can IM/IV the stuff. Can't wait to try 4-MeO-PCP

I have an interview with an autism researcher coming up, who is doing her dissertation on aspie/auties and their rxns to MDMA and possibly on mushrooms. Shes taken mushrooms herself once, in a healing session to aid in processing previously unprocessed grief. I've taken both, although I have found I dislike entactogens, other than AMT, I've found that the feelings that MDMA, methylone (beta-keto MDMA, its the methcathinone analog of MDMA) produce feel forced, unnatural and fake. I don't need to be made more pro-social, I am not meant to be, and disliking stimulants in general, that means that MDMA just is not for me. Mushrooms on the other hand, they are definitely one  of my allies. I try to get out and go picking every season, collecting liberty caps and wavy caps (Psilocybe semilanceata and P.cyanescens respectively)

I'm all relaxed, and very sleepy. I think I'll not drink much of that mojito, just a slug or two, finish my beer, finish reading the research journal article I'm reading, hunt down a couple more on the same subject, post them where they need to go and then stretch out on my bed. That is, if I don't fall asleep in my computer chair.

And soon I have lab work to do, and an AMPAkine to synthesize, my memory is shite, and the compound I've been reading about looks fantastic as far as potency goes with dose ranges from 0.1mg/kg (rat, oral) to 0.001mg/kg (rat, intravenously..how one finds a vein on a rat, however, I cannot even begin to guess) Toxicity seems minimal. Although chances are I might be the first human ever to try DM-235. Or if not, I am certainly one of the first ever to taste it.

I have everything needed to synthesize my target compound-propionyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, piperazine, 30% hydrochloric acid and solvents. All I need are a new chromatography column to purify my DM-235 via flash chromatography; and some TLC plates, as well as an acid gas filter cartridge for my gas mask. A similar reaction scheme for producing the (crappy, I've tried it, and hated it) stimulant drug n-benzyl piperazine gives yields of BZP up to some high-end 90% range though, giving only some dibenzylpiperazine as a byproduct. The potential dibenzoyl or dipropionylpiperazines are not toxic however, and besides, with doses in the 100s of micrograms any exposure to them would be minimal, so even if they were highly toxic, it would be unlikely to matter. In fact, its possible that some potential byproducts may actually be active AMPAkines themselves, only orders of magnitude weaker, and completely inactive at the doses used for DM-235 so I may well be able to get away with just buying the TLC plates. Silica for packing chromatography columns is bloody expensive, $100 + a kilo, so I would rather put off buying any until I have to. Although I do need a column and the silica and alumina packing to go with it, I'd rather put away say, 25-30 quid every time I get paid until I have enough for a kilo each of silica and alumina. The columns themselves on the other hand are not too expensive, they can be had for a reasonable price on ebay. I've even seen them go for as little as $/£15 plus shipping. I can afford that no problem. Might just look for one as soon as my payment for the 4-methoxy-PCP has cleared the bank. Should be fun, I haven't got my hands dirty in the lab for a little too long. In the meantime I might just try and synthesize some Stryker's reagent, an interesting looking catalyst for highly selective reductions of carbonyl compounds like ketones, aldehydes, esters etc. and able to be regenerated in-situ, using hydrogen gas. Very air sensitive though, and must be stored under nitrogen or argon and used with solvents that have been carefully degassed.

What kind of heating does it have now?

What are the high, low and average winter temperatures where you live?

Do you have ready access to firewood and how much would it cost you?

Is it currently air conditioned?

Erm, none at all.

It can get down below 5 degrees C during some nights in winter. I have no idea what the average temps are.

I have no fireplace.

No. I thought about getting a split system but there's nowhere appropriate to put the box thingy that goes outside (too close to the neighbours and the noise of it would bother them).

Jesus richard! there is NO need to post pictures of what krapkao squirts up his mom's ringpiece when he 'glimpses' her in the shower.

What am I thinking? I am really, really thirsty. I need to go to the shop and stock up on coke, lychee juice, mango juice, beer, coke, and both banana and chocolate milk.

I'd better learn a faster version of  the Serenity Prayer.

Went to the doctor's yesterday for PA's ankle.  He had his ankle fused 12/14.  Seems he broke a screw inside the bone and the ankle isn't healing as fast as it should.  Medicare has turned down the Rx for a bone growth stimulator (need 9 months of no bone growth for one that doesn't involve the spine.)  So, no weight at all on the foot.  Will go back next month and see if there is any improvement.  He may be scheduled for a second surgery to re-fuse the ankle using bone grafts this time.  Then another 6 months of recuperation.  It's going to be a long summer folks.

Hopefully my 5g of 4-methoxy-PCP will arrive soon.

Decided, seeing as how, temporarily, until its found legal, the pigs stole my gram of AMT (or a good part of, some having been used of course) to bioassay 5(2-aminopropyl)indole, a relatively new positional isomer of AMT. I dislike, to hate, most entactogens, but I've found AMT to be quite helpful in doing psychological work, and thus alleviating my PTSD. I've made quite a lot of progress that way.

This one is fairly new, so I ordered a small quantity for evaluation purposes.

That's awful, QV.  PA hasn't been using a bone growth stimulator at all yet?  What about buying a used one on eBay that still works?

Thanks Hyke and Callaway.  I'd looked briefly into bone growth stimulators and the prices seemed high, even for used ones.  Plus, I wouldn't know exactly what to buy.  Better to see what the next month or 2 brings as far as healing.

The first attempt was the single most painful experience in my entire life. The second was largely painless, just a slight pinch and some discomfort while waiting for the doctor to sample the fluid.

My cousin lives with us now. He was homeless. He has a tendency to steal. He can't find a place to live right away because he was in prison. My demon aunt called my mom crying because he had nowhere else to go. My demon aunt never disciplined her kids so they walked all over her. She stayed with us back in 2001 rent free and bitched about everything. It was summer and to save my mom money I would have the air conditioner set high with the fans running. Before she moved it I was jhust fine but her son said "its hot" and she would turn up the air conditioner. It was about $1000 more expensive with everything, food etc. Her sons also got their handprints on my mom's white wall and my demon aunt said they were my handprints. She bought a new SUV when staying with us for some reason. Anyway she's a 2 faced liar and gossip.  She would tell me what to do because her kids wouldn't listen to her. If I asked my mom if I could do something and she said yes my demon aunt woulld say I wasn't allowed. I said my mom said I could and she said " well I said no" she also opened the door to my bedroom when I was trying to sleep to stop me from stimming which was wagging my foot. She would grab my foot and stop it fron moving. I locked the door to my room but she used a nail to unlock it and bug me.

I don't pretend to know what labour pain is like, but just to clarify, my problem was not the local pain caused by the needle but instead all the referred pain when the needle hit nerves on its way.

Don't get me wrong, I like the show.  Legitly like the characters' interactions.  Also find the initial medical rule-outs (which are ridiculously repetitive) and the way the represent treatment absolutely hilarious.  "He's depressed."  "Start him on antidepressants!!!"

Yes i find the same things hilarious.  The show is not very watchable though,  as i hate Hugh Laurie's awful American accent.  Perhaps it is just down to me knowing it is fake?  I know other people find it acceptable or even potentially good or whatever but i just don't like it.   I would have watched it a little more (than 3 or maybe 4 episodes) had his character been written as an English man,  or,  if the character had to be a plank then it would have been better if it had been a plank actor.  Oh i know i will get a few boooo's and hisses,  but don't get me wrong, i do love Hugh Laurie  :pinkbeat: just his accent in this irritated me.  I thought the same about Mel Gibson in Braveheart too.  :P

His accent is very convincing, though. I first saw him in Blackadder, long before House, but the first time I saw him as House I never once thought about his nationality.

He is a talented fellow. An excellent pianist.

I agree he is very talented.  He is a very clever man.  Just could never really get used to him being an American.

His ability to tinkle the ivories on a piano doesn't really interest me.  There is only one thing i can think of to a do on a piano that doesn't make me feel sleepy.

Tom Brier. 

He is a genius ragtime pianist who looks at a piece of music for the first time, runs through it once or twice and then begins to improvise (Brierize).  Amazing talent. Give him a couple of minutes, it builds.

And they do have a younger son so it's a mix of grieving her loss but not getting so swallowed up by it that he gets lost in the mix. I can't even imagine what they're going through right now. and I suppose we knew it was coming? I mean her body literally rejected food. She looks like she's 2 year old even though she just turned 6 this month. When your body rejects any sort of nourishment, even a feeding tube, how can you live? Yet every.single.time. she was at deaths door, she pulled through. So that idea that she finally passed away yesterday seems unthinkable, yet not. She was a beauty. Full of so much love and laughter.

As much as I love my daughter and as devastated as I would be if I lost her, I would not kill myself, primarily because of the effect it would have on my husband.  I have lost people who are very dear to me and I'm still here.

I couldn't do it either. My best friends father killed himself and he was like a Dad to me. I've known him my whole life, he was my fathers best friend. The ripple effect from his death was huge. The impact that it left on his family was indescribable. The grief ebbs and flows for so long and then you start to come out of it and you wish that he could ride out the emotional tidal wave that brought him to the point of taking his own life because then good things start to happen again and there's so much that he has missed. That's what always brings me back when life gets overwhelming. that it doesn't STAY dark and black and unforgivable. Just my two cents worth.

I am sorry to hear about your friend's loss.

If there is a time when your friends seems like she might be open to this, I would suggest recommending her to look into Compassionate Friends.  They're a nation-wide support community/organization for parents who have lost children (and the families of the children lost, as well), and have support meetings across the country.  There are other similar communities, recommending this one because it's the one I am most familiar with.

Losing a child is one of the most profound losses a person can experience.  Unfortunately, it's also one of the most isolating.  Organizations like TCF can help with the isolation, especially.

Losing a child is one of the most profound losses a person can experience.  Unfortunately, it's also one of the most isolating.  Organizations like TCF can help with the isolation, especially.
I just checked the website but unfortunately they don't have chapters in my country. I'm sure there must be something similar. Will have a talk with her after the funeral and everything settles.

I want to be trailer trash. They did not cause any of the problems that our country faces today. They did not get mortgages they couldn't afford. They did not run banks to the ground with greed. They did not use investors for their personal benefit. They don't even belong to the unions that ask too much of their companies.


 

 

I'm tired of paying mortgage bills,

Utility bills, property taxes. 

I want to live more simply, pack up

The cat and move into my  travel-trailer.


I don't mind being called 'trailer trash',

PA has the cutest ways of saying "I love you."  He can't stand on his foot for another 6 weeks, so the backyard hasn't been mowed for about a month.  It desperately needs it.  He knew I was going to have to mow it. 

He crawled out to the carport and raised the mowing height of the mower.  He doesn't want me to hurt my back and I don't want him to break the last pin in his ankle (surgery for sure), so he's made a plan.  He's tied a rope to the mower and I'm going to push it while he sits in a chair and pulls the mower with the rope.  It's a quirky love, but it's our love.

Boy convicted for hitting his little sister

A spat between two siblings in southern Sweden has resulted in an assault conviction for a 15-year-old boy who was duly reported to police by his younger sister after he hit her in the face.

Back in January, the two became entangled in a heated argument while in the home of their parents in Lund in southern Sweden.

In court, the girl admitted that she had hurled a number of verbal insults at her older brother before unleashing a flurry of kicks and shoves, the local Skånska Dagbladet newspaper reported.

According to the boy, his little sister started the fight by making fun of his girlfriend.

Having sustained a number of kicks from the little girl, the boy responded by punching his sister twice in the face before their mother intervened to put a stop to the altercation.

In court, the boy defended his violent response, claiming he was acting in self-defence.

But the district court rejected the 15-year-old's self-defence claims, citing the boy's own admission that the kicks from his little sister didn't hurt that much.

While an assault conviction normally carries a prison sentence, on account of the boy's age and the fact that he hadn't had any previous run-ins with the law, the court opted for a more lenient sentence of a fine.

According to the paper, the siblings explained to the court that they hadn't spoken to one another for a week following the fight.

However, time had since mended the rift and they had once again become friends, they told the court.

Just to take an opposing view: what if the spat had resulted in a more serious injury? How hard would a brother have to hit his sister or vice versa for a court to be justified in taking on the case as presented to them by the police?

I'm not saying that I think the District Court did the right thing by not rejecting the case, but I'd like to know where the limits are.

Sounds like the courts taking over parenting to me.  If someone was killed or maimed then I can see the government getting involved, everything else is internal to the family unless there is a history of abuse taking place where the parents are not interceding.

I would say if the brother hit his sister hard enough that she was actually injured, so if the sister got a black eye or her nose was broken or something like that.  Besides, she's the one who got physical with him first. 

If for example, two kids or two adults got into a fight here, the one who hit first would be considered as having started the physical altercation and any injuries they sustained because of mutual combat that they started would be their own responsibility under ordinary circumstances.

I think it's disturbing when kids learn to manipulate the system young. Like discovering how many adults jump into a frenzy if you claim abuse. It doesn't mention how old the younger sister was. She could have been eight or fourteen. It also doesn't mention whether their mother encouraged her to call the police. If the police thought it was a case of domestic violence, wouldn't the courts have done more than slap the boy with a fine?

If she's 14, she could be larger than the boy, since girls go through their growth spurt earlier than boys.

Age was my first thought.  If she was eight and her 15yo brother punched her, yeah honestly that would be a pretty big deal.  Could have broken her nose, knocked teeth out, etc.  They refer to her as a "little girl" but don't specify what that means to them.  Then again as Peter said she could be 14 or even 15, bigger than him, and those kicks could have been dangerous (could be "assault with a deadly weapon (shod foot)"). 

Another devil's advocate question- how old would would the boy and his sister have to be before those who take issue with the case would think it was appropriate that charged be brought against him for punching his little sister?

For me, their relative ages wouldn't be an issue for pressing charges as much as whether the sister was really injured, however if they had been my kids and she had been much younger (say less than ten) and her brother punched her in the face, I would have punished him more severely than her even if she wasn't injured and even though she kicked him first.  I would never have encouraged my daughter to call the police and give her brother a criminal record, however. 

I wonder what would have happened to the sister if the brother had admitted that her kicks really did hurt "that much"?  Would she have a criminal record now as well?

No, I don't. I think the court should have rejected this one, as soon as the police had made sure that it wasn't child abuse or anything like that. The courts have better things to do than handle parenting.

But I'm nevertheless interested in what can be categorised as parenting and what can't. I do think that there should be safety mechanisms in place beyond the sometimes doubtful justice of parents.

The District Courts in Sweden are amateurs and sometimes take on cases that are then ridiculed by news papers all the way to the higher instances that quickly throw them out. It's nowhere near a perfect system and it's made worse by the authorities' tendency to overprotect the citizens.

Me too, but I think it is the state's responsibility to first prove that the parents aren't handling the situation themselves.  Innocent until proven guilty.  Responsible until proven otherwise.  The first step shouldn't be the state stepping in unless someone is in immediate danger.

But I'm nevertheless interested in what can be categorised as parenting and what can't. I do think that there should be safety mechanisms in place beyond the sometimes doubtful justice of parents.

Social Services (at least in the USA, though I imagine there's a similar pattern in other countries) sometimes have problem cases where the line gets badly blurred. The community often knows there's something odd going on with a particular family, but they haven't yet been able to prove abuse, so police and social workers will get called out to the house repeatedly without ever taking real action. It becomes a game of who can break the pattern first. Sometimes the kids are removed to live with a relative or foster family and then brought back because it's believed the parents' problems have stabilized, only to end up put back into care when the next crisis hits. The system is chronically underfunded, as flawed as the people working in it, and bogged down by paperwork, and sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

So I think taking a boy to court over an isolated incident of punching his sister is intrusive to the family, and a waste of everyone's time. I'm also curious who chose to actually prosecute, the parents or the police.

Every history of everything starts with a first something.  Every drug addict first drank milk, let's ban milk  :autism:

Seriously, do you want the courts deciding appropriate punishments for your kids?  Where does it end?  What if one calls the other a mean name?

No, I don't. I think the court should have rejected this one, as soon as the police had made sure that it wasn't child abuse or anything like that. The courts have better things to do than handle parenting.

But I'm nevertheless interested in what can be categorised as parenting and what can't. I do think that there should be safety mechanisms in place beyond the sometimes doubtful justice of parents.

Social Services (at least in the USA, though I imagine there's a similar pattern in other countries) sometimes have problem cases where the line gets badly blurred. The community often knows there's something odd going on with a particular family, but they haven't yet been able to prove abuse, so police and social workers will get called out to the house repeatedly without ever taking real action. It becomes a game of who can break the pattern first. Sometimes the kids are removed to live with a relative or foster family and then brought back because it's believed the parents' problems have stabilized, only to end up put back into care when the next crisis hits. The system is chronically underfunded, as flawed as the people working in it, and bogged down by paperwork, and sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

So I think taking a boy to court over an isolated incident of punching his sister is intrusive to the family, and a waste of everyone's time. I'm also curious who chose to actually prosecute, the parents or the police.

I read in the comments of the article which Peter linked that after the sister made the initial complaint, then by law, the prosecutors and police were obligated to follow up and nobody would be permitted to drop the charges after it was filed.  What I couldn't find was how old the little sister was or whether she was injured, which I think would be relevant.

Just to take an opposing view: what if the spat had resulted in a more serious injury? How hard would a brother have to hit his sister or vice versa for a court to be justified in taking on the case as presented to them by the police?

I'm not saying that I think the District Court did the right thing by not rejecting the case, but I'd like to know where the limits are.

Sounds like the courts taking over parenting to me.  If someone was killed or maimed then I can see the government getting involved, everything else is internal to the family unless there is a history of abuse taking place where the parents are not interceding.

Every history of abuse starts with a first time. Define "maiming". How hard would the brother have to hit?

Maim:  to deprive of the use of some part of the body by wounding or the like; cripple.

Are you seriously suggesting that anything less than that is up to the parents to handle?

Yes

If someone attacks you on the street, I assume you will settle things without involving an overburdened court system unless you actually lose function of some part of your body in the process?

Me too, but I think it is the state's responsibility to first prove that the parents aren't handling the situation themselves.  Innocent until proven guilty.  Responsible until proven otherwise.  The first step shouldn't be the state stepping in unless someone is in immediate danger.

Of course the need to prove it. I just think children should have the same protection as anyone else.

The fact that the age of the girl isn't disclosed makes it a bit tricky to comment.  Although from reading the report i understood that the kicks didn't really hurt him (by his own admission) and after only a week they were friends again.  I am also, perhaps falsely assuming an adult is usually present?  I wouldn't want to leave the two of them alone if they were my kids.  If all these facts are true then it seems unnecessary to involve a court of law.

However,  i have had little fights growing up with my own brothers,  but i tell you what... never would they punch me in the face!  provoked or not!   It seems a very extreme response to a few kicks 'that didn't hurt' though, doesn't it?   Also,  i think courts or police sometimes act just to put other people off doing same.  As a deterrent if you like.   I can see that as beneficial to some kids,  say if there parents are always out or just don't give a fuck, it might prevent some poor kid somewhere from getting a good hiding from a sibling.

Just looking at the facts presented though,  i would say it was a waste of resources and should have been handled by the parents.  Unless there is something we don't know. ?

Makes me wonder if these things go on a lot more than we like to think, and they get dismissed just because it is so often the case to keep it in the family? hmm.

My own brothers would resort to 'mental cruelty' - much more effective.  When i was a teenager and started dating,  they found it amusing to get the family photo's out to show 'boyfriend' - carefully selecting the one when i was 5years old in the noddy playing in the bath!  or the one where i fell asleep in my sunday dinner!   :hahaha:

My brothers and I physically fought sometimes when we were kids but nobody ever brought the police into it.  They weren't allowed to hit me with their fists, and I wasn't allowed to scratch them with my long fingernails.  One time I did scratch my brother and my dad clipped my fingernails short but nobody called 911.

By the time any of us were dating, we were (mostly) nicer to one another.  I remember my younger brother commented to my boyfriend at the time when I made him some pretty bitter iced tea and my brother tasted it, "Either you really like that tea or else you REALLY like my sister."

My other brother and I teased one another once about each other's boyfriend and girlfriend, but that was just between us.  I sang to him, "I Wish They All Could Be California Girls" because his girlfriend was from California and he pretended to mimic me and said, "Oh ---- I just love to rub your bald head" because my boyfriend was older and beginning to lose his hair.

Whatever is in a senior multivitamin.  I have naturally high potassium levels and have to watch how man bananas I eat.  If I eat too many I have ministrokes (not serious, they resolve in about 24 hours, but they do require hospitalization.)  I limit myself to one banana a week.

The charley horses are definitely from sitting in the wrong position for too long at the keyboard.  I need to stop being so addicted to I2 and the net.

OK, that makes sense, but electrolyte imbalances can also cause them.

I got them when I was pregnant and wound up taking magnesium in addition to the calcium supplement and prenatal vitamin I was already taking.

Wondering where I would be best to start if I wanted to re-learn (slash learn) the high school math stuff I seem to have utterly lost.  I ended up with only about two years' worth of it (Algebra 1 and geometry), then had some college math course I barely passed (due at least as much to extenuating circumstances as actual comprehension), and have had no math other than in-major statistics since.  Did OK on the GREs when I took 'em, though.

Because they are children.  How can you presume to hold children to the same standard as adults in this matter but not all others?  Do you agree with a minimum drinking age?  A minimum driving age?  How about a minimum age for being a surgeon or an airline pilot?

Yeah, the ability to sue anyone for anything over here is fucking retarded, but I don't feel like it's that big a part of the court system.  Or maybe I just don't focus on it as much?  It certainly does end up being a big part of policy making within companies and fields, though.  CYA is extra-special when you know you could be sued for anything, even if you didn't do anything wrong.

I feel kind of like there's a big brother mentality to our "war on drugs," and increasingly there's just a general reduction in freedoms.  Here's a couple of good illustrations of that (a bit of a tangent, I know, but also a recent pet peeve of mine):  http://www.freedomhouse.org/article/freedom-press-2012-breakthroughs-and-pushback-middle-east (http://www.freedomhouse.org/article/freedom-press-2012-breakthroughs-and-pushback-middle-east)  http://en.rsf.org/spip.php?page=classement&id_rubrique=1043 (http://en.rsf.org/spip.php?page=classement&id_rubrique=1043)  Don't know how bad it is for you guys, though.

One huge issue over here IMO is the rampant corruption in (of course) all systems, including all levels of the legal and court system.  There's occasional whistleblowing, but that is, I think, the exception, not the rule.  Probably corruption everywhere though (people suck), and it could certainly be a lot worse.  Still disgusting though.

Now that Hubert is buying a house he won't have time to search for videos.

That video is wrong on every level I can think of.

Did I catch a glimpse of Hyke in the herd?

I think your court system is fucked up in a different way from Sweden's. There's no way Swedes can sue people for the kind of money that seems to be the norm over there, so I'd say the focus is different. Sweden's court system reflects the Swedes in many way, OTOH, so there is a big brother mentality you don't seem to have.
Yeah, the ability to sue anyone for anything over here is fucking retarded, but I don't feel like it's that big a part of the court system.  Or maybe I just don't focus on it as much?  It certainly does end up being a big part of policy making within companies and fields, though.  CYA is extra-special when you know you could be sued for anything, even if you didn't do anything wrong.

I feel kind of like there's a big brother mentality to our "war on drugs," and increasingly there's just a general reduction in freedoms.  Here's a couple of good illustrations of that (a bit of a tangent, I know, but also a recent pet peeve of mine):  http://www.freedomhouse.org/article/freedom-press-2012-breakthroughs-and-pushback-middle-east (http://www.freedomhouse.org/article/freedom-press-2012-breakthroughs-and-pushback-middle-east)  http://en.rsf.org/spip.php?page=classement&id_rubrique=1043 (http://en.rsf.org/spip.php?page=classement&id_rubrique=1043)  Don't know how bad it is for you guys, though.

One huge issue over here IMO is the rampant corruption in (of course) all systems, including all levels of the legal and court system.  There's occasional whistleblowing, but that is, I think, the exception, not the rule.  Probably corruption everywhere though (people suck), and it could certainly be a lot worse.  Still disgusting though.

It's not that our freedoms are being lost in a big brother sense, not yet, but Swedes are generally big on authorities and their insistence on everyone being equal and the same borders on the ridiculous. It's frequently very difficult for someone well above average in some respects to have that fact acknowledged and taken into account.

A lot of the Swedish mentality is clearly evident in this court case, but I think only a knowledgeable observer can see it for what it is.

No, I don't. I think they are ill equipped for most types of justice. But that's not the point. The point is the principle that every person should have the same protection, regardless of age.

We are making the same argument, just choosing different victims.  I agree completely that the accused child deserves protection ... from an interfering state government.

I am playing the devil's advocate, mate. I think the case as presented is ridiculous and should not have ended up in court, but as is often the case, I am interested in how people reason when they present their views.

How strange to see that all my negative ponderings are being confirmed by other people, as very likely, or clearly to be facts.

Somehow that makes life a bit safer.  :laugh:

Doesn't take the strangeness away. Usually I am not the type to think bad things are being done on purpose, to benefit hidden agendas. Here I got the agendas spelled out for me, without even telling my own thoughts about it. Perfect match.

Daughter is relieved too. Her position has become a lot stronger. No solution in sight yet. But, no one, no matter what, can force her now to accept the worst possible option. We had ruled it out the two of us already, but, pressure from outside was strong. All gone now. It really helps to not accept.

Nothing wrong with the gut feeling of these two aspies.

I needn't worry about her.  She's an adult, married, lives far enough away that I can't physically interfere, etc.  But, damn it, I do worry a bit about her.

 About that oven knob: Is it located so that you could have reset it by brushing against
 the oven while walking through the kitchen?  Or might there be a safety feature that turns
 the oven off if something is wrong with it?  So many possibilities come to mind.  :apondering:

I could have indeed bumped the knob while putting the lasagne in the oven :laugh:

It's a funny oven where all the knobs are on the front just above the griller instead of up high behind the hotplates. It's a fairly old oven by the looks of it, so no auto switch off feature. The oven door gets stuck sometimes too, it needs a good lubricant on the hinges.

I like having the knobs on the front.  A) I'm short and I probably couldn't comfortable reach knobs on the back, B) I could just see my tits turning into Baked Alaska if I could reach the knobs.

Thinking about something my mum did.

See, I was pouring my dexamphetamine into my day container (the one I take when I go out places) while I was in the kitchen and some of the pills spilled out and dropped onto the benchtop and onto the floor. I then picked them up. Except one, which I missed. Some time later my mum saw it, and thinking it was one of her fluid tablets that she had dropped, took it. As in swallowed it.

She then told me about it because earlier in the week she had found one of her pills in her bedroom on the floor. I said, Uh oh, what do your pills look like?" She showed me and they are practically the same as dexamphetamine. So that is what she took. She freaked out, asking what it would do and I said probably not much since it was only one. She later said she felt edgy.

I found it hilarious that she would pick up a pill and take it without looking to see what it was.

Just got a call from the bank; someone tried to make a couple of fraudulent purchases with my card.  The security guy thinks they might have cloned my card when I used an ATM recently, and I'm getting a new card sent out.  I actually checked the ATM for anything that looked like a cloner, but I don't use ATMs often, so wasn't really clued up on what it should normally look like.

Not far from here, someone had installed a cloner on a pay thing in a shop. And a camera installed in the ceiling to get the pin-code. Doesn't have to be an ARM machine.

That worked to your advantage, using your card so infrequently because they would notice the change in activity level on your card. That has happened to me before too.

Or perhaps the fact that I apparently had a sudden interest in US goods and services.

  Nonsense.  Everyone  is interested in U.S. goods and services.   :M

It's good that your father is loved and was so wonderful.  Mine just wasn't what I needed, although I guess he did try and we never wanted for much economically or phyiscally.

My cousin lives with us now. He was homeless. He has a tendency to steal. He can't find a place to live right away because he was in prison. My demon aunt called my mom crying because he had nowhere else to go. My demon aunt never disciplined her kids so they walked all over her. She stayed with us back in 2001 rent free and bitched about everything. It was summer and to save my mom money I would have the air conditioner set high with the fans running. Before she moved it I was jhust fine but her son said "its hot" and she would turn up the air conditioner. It was about $1000 more expensive with everything, food etc. Her sons also got their handprints on my mom's white wall and my demon aunt said they were my handprints. She bought a new SUV when staying with us for some reason. Anyway she's a 2 faced liar and gossip.  She would tell me what to do because her kids wouldn't listen to her. If I asked my mom if I could do something and she said yes my demon aunt woulld say I wasn't allowed. I said my mom said I could and she said " well I said no" she also opened the door to my bedroom when I was trying to sleep to stop me from stimming which was wagging my foot. She would grab my foot and stop it fron moving. I locked the door to my room but she used a nail to unlock it and bug me.

Be your fabulous quirky self. Tell her about the look in her eye and ask her if she's even seen X band live. It's a compliment and a lead in question which gives her something specific to respond to and that opens up some communication. Then report back here on how it goes!  :green:

Will report back, I'm pretty sure.

I'll try to keep people from licking my newts.  Maybe I should carry a medical card that says I have an occupational exposure to newt toxins, so that the doctors have a starting point when I'm found lying on the ground and foaming at the mouth.

Here's an example of a poisoning incident from one of the species that I keep:

Quote from: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f1173-advanced-newt-salamander-topics/f30-species-genus-family-discussions/f39-near-middle-eastern-newts-neurergus/81129-kaiseri-poisoning-incident.html
OK folks, bear with me here as I am really, really sick at the moment.

In between trips to empty my bucket, I'll key you in on what is going on.

My senior thesis is on (as some of you know/guessed/etc) Neurergus kaiseri, specifically the nature of the toxins they generate in their skin.


I have been collecting samples of their dermal secretions using a TAS and carefully learning how to prepare and process said samples. (Measure twice, cut once.) As I am new to this sort of thing, I have screwed up the first few samples.

So earlier, just after dinner, I decided to harvest a few more as I can use the lab all day tomorrow thanks to classes being out for the holiday.

Anyway I wear those poly gloves, like restaurants are supposed to use, when handling these guys. Given my personal experiences in the past with these critters, whatever the secrete is nasty stuff. Just a whiff of it can give one a headache for hours.


So, as I reached in to grab a specimen, I snagged my glove on a rock and tore it. No big deal I thought.


In addition to being a biochemist in training, I work with my hands. A lot.

Needless to say my hands are always covered with cuts, nicks, scrapes, and minor burns. Right where the glove tore is where I cut myself making microscope slides this morning.


DO NOT GET NEURERGUS KAISERI TOXIN IN A WOUND!

Right now I have no use of my right hand. The exposed area is swollen up. I am sweating, vomiting, and...umm..."volcanoing" from the other end (if you get my drift...). Pupils are dilated, heart rate is up. I am dizzy as all get out...and I have the mother of all headaches.


My wife noticed me staggering around and called poison control. In between bouts of vomiting, I laughed out loud.


"He got poisoned by a WHAT!?!?"

Now, imagine a journalist trying to explain to a poison control operator that her wannabe science geek husband is sick as a dog because of a rare species no one normal has ever heard of...

"Johnny, what is the poison?"

"Angelita, BWWWAAAAARRRRRRFFFFF, I...don't...know...yet..."

"Well they need to know."

"So do I. How do you think I got into this BWARRRRRRRRRRFFFFF mess?"


Anyway, you can imagine the conversation. It was hysterical, save for the abdominal cramps I am experiencing.

"They say they do'nt know what to do for you."

"No <double expletive deleted>, Angi. This is why I asked you to not bother calling them. I'll get through this and if I don't make sure my notes get to the right people."

"But I thought you were experimenting to find out what that stuff is."

"I am dear BWARRRRRRRRFFFF but I can't very well get results if it kills me first."

"It can KILL you!?!?!?"

"Sure, why not. I do not know of a single case of kaiseri poisoning other than my own. In other words, it will be an interesting result if it does kill me. Make sure they do an extra good tox screen and then include the results when you turn over my notes."

"You really are an <expletive deleted>. Why couldn't you be into something harmless, like rocks or poop?"


This is when I retreated back to my lair and decided to warn you all. They are brightly colored for a reason folks. It means "Don't mess with me or you will pay, dude."

The odds of you being exposed to the kind of dose I have at the moment is slim, but do not risk it...trust me on this one.

I have to go empty my bucket again...

Quote
I'm still alive.

I admit it was a very, very long night and I wished many, many times I was dead.

I suspect part of the problem is that I am a very fair skinned red-head- common lawn fertilizers make me ill. The swelling has gone down, and my hand works again, but the cut is in ugly shape. The swelling made it worse. I had to resort to saline and methanol irrigation. I then irrigated my self with ethanol, in the form of double distilled, charred oak aged solution.


I did finally stop vomiting, but ended up with tunnel vision until a few hours ago. Still a bit shaky now, but this is probably more from lack of sleep than anything else. The dehydration was pretty severe, but that was nothing a few hours in the tub with a gallon of gatorade couldn't fix.
The stomach cramps were the worst part. Ever had fold-you-in-half type cramps? Me either, until last night. Thankfully, I do not have any teeth left to break from keeping my mouth shut instead of screaming.

The effects came and went in waves. I would be feeling better, things settle down and then WHAM ! right back to hell.

The only other time I have been this sick was due to a rattlesnake bite years ago, and this made snakebite fun...


I use the TAS method of collection. This involves a specially purpose built unit called a Transductal Amphibian Simulator. To make it simple it is basically a low power 5 volt contact taser.

It provides a very small short bandwidth electric shock and is pretty much the standard for amphibian toxin collection. Before anyone starts getting out a hammer and nails for my crucifixion, be advised I test it on my self prior to each use. The specimen gets a jolt which results in the desired defensive effect. The resulting secretions are then swabbed up with a small square of Kimwipe. The advantage to this method is that it does not require the old standard- skinning the specimen alive. After a sample is collected, I carefully observe the specimen for an hour just to make sure everything is alright. I only collect a sample once a month at most.

Once swabbed up, the toxins can be extracted with anhydrous methanol. The resulting samples can also either be stored in methanol and/or lypholized. There is also a method for prepping samples for storage/transport/testing in distilled water with acetic acid as a preservative. This is the part I haven't got right yet.


I too expected a low TTX range similar to the Triturus complex, however initial results are showing some very interesting bioactive peptides in addition. I have to get more extensive testing done and currently I am on a waiting list for two different labs (no respect for undergrads...).

I am also culturing bacteria from the skin. This is merely to determine if there is a symbiotic process going on like in Taricha. The possibility may exist as a small tissue sample from a deceased specimen showed that bacteria do live in the tiny nodules of this species dorsal side. However, I admit it was more about an intensive necropsy at the time given the rarity of freshly dead specimens for study.

Currently, I am on a "stop work safety shut down". Feel free to read that as the wife has threatened to prepare my skin for toxin analysis the old fashioned way. Also, There is tail fanning happening so I will not disturb them until after egg season is over...and we all know that is more important than empty threats from my feisty Hispanic chica.

The aftermath:

Quote
Frankly, the wound in question was nothing major, but is now pretty disgusting. I really don't feel it would be appropriate to post a picture of it. The resulting swelling caused it to tear a bit more, and as expected, the reduced circulation killed some off tissue around the edges. I had to debride it and treat it with neosporin as I do not want a nasty infection. In other words, it is really gross!

I have never worked with any Salamndra or any of the others you list, save for tarichas. With my one taricha I have never handled him or anything in his tank with anything other than tongs and nets. Given my difficulties with various chemical exposures, I am a bit paranoid of the little guy.

Quote
Sounds like a peptide/ alkaloid mix eh? Going to start back up with analyisis here in a few days.

Ever heard of a loss of hot/cold detection in the affected region? I have two fingers that can sense neither.

Quote
Also note the nerve damage to my fingers has thus far proven permanent, however the wound in question has long since healed as left absolutely no trace or scarring. Which I find odd as a wound that size on my hand should have scarred up like crazy.

And another couple of incidents:

Quote
I tell people frequently that bright colors rarely lie. I wash my hands before and after handling any of my amphibians, including the A. tigrinum, and that toxin is fairly mild compared to your subject. Years and years ago I handled some A. laterale and carelessly pulled a few pine needles out of my mouth after falling. Within 30 seconds I had numbness that spread from the 'touch points' and ended up feeling like I just came home from the dentist. Numbness, tingling and awkward drooling lasted about a half-hour, even after rinsing my mouth out thoroughly. I had only handled a couple of individuals for this effect to occur. I was glad I didn't swallow anything, since I could have had some respiratory problems from it. It's easy sometimes to forget the beautiful colors that appeal to us are there for a reason, not just for our fancy.

Quote
I TTXed myself one time with a Taricha. I was giving her injections for an abscess, and had some random cuts around my fingernails (like I always do). Didn't think nothing of it until I couldn't move my arm. It was much like the reaction I get to a tetanus shot; arm wouldn't move, but still had feeling. I had the worst case of 'arm went to sleep but now it's waking up' pins and needles in my entire life. I felt like I wanted to cut my arm off. It didn't cause vomiting, but I felt pretty bad overall.

I could kill people with my newt toxins, some of which are unknown to science and might not show up on any test.

  I'm thinking how very nice Peter is and how very much I like him.  :angel:
I'm thinking how Peter should hope nobody close to him dies of newt toxins now because that post would be used against him in court.

I'll try to keep people from licking my newts.  Maybe I should carry a medical card that says I have an occupational exposure to newt toxins, so that the doctors have a starting point when I'm found lying on the ground and foaming at the mouth.

Here's an example of a poisoning incident from one of the species that I keep:

Quote from: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f1173-advanced-newt-salamander-topics/f30-species-genus-family-discussions/f39-near-middle-eastern-newts-neurergus/81129-kaiseri-poisoning-incident.html
OK folks, bear with me here as I am really, really sick at the moment.

In between trips to empty my bucket, I'll key you in on what is going on.

My senior thesis is on (as some of you know/guessed/etc) Neurergus kaiseri, specifically the nature of the toxins they generate in their skin.


I have been collecting samples of their dermal secretions using a TAS and carefully learning how to prepare and process said samples. (Measure twice, cut once.) As I am new to this sort of thing, I have screwed up the first few samples.

So earlier, just after dinner, I decided to harvest a few more as I can use the lab all day tomorrow thanks to classes being out for the holiday.

Anyway I wear those poly gloves, like restaurants are supposed to use, when handling these guys. Given my personal experiences in the past with these critters, whatever the secrete is nasty stuff. Just a whiff of it can give one a headache for hours.


So, as I reached in to grab a specimen, I snagged my glove on a rock and tore it. No big deal I thought.


In addition to being a biochemist in training, I work with my hands. A lot.

Needless to say my hands are always covered with cuts, nicks, scrapes, and minor burns. Right where the glove tore is where I cut myself making microscope slides this morning.


DO NOT GET NEURERGUS KAISERI TOXIN IN A WOUND!

Right now I have no use of my right hand. The exposed area is swollen up. I am sweating, vomiting, and...umm..."volcanoing" from the other end (if you get my drift...). Pupils are dilated, heart rate is up. I am dizzy as all get out...and I have the mother of all headaches.


My wife noticed me staggering around and called poison control. In between bouts of vomiting, I laughed out loud.


"He got poisoned by a WHAT!?!?"

Now, imagine a journalist trying to explain to a poison control operator that her wannabe science geek husband is sick as a dog because of a rare species no one normal has ever heard of...

"Johnny, what is the poison?"

"Angelita, BWWWAAAAARRRRRRFFFFF, I...don't...know...yet..."

"Well they need to know."

"So do I. How do you think I got into this BWARRRRRRRRRRFFFFF mess?"


Anyway, you can imagine the conversation. It was hysterical, save for the abdominal cramps I am experiencing.

"They say they do'nt know what to do for you."

"No <double expletive deleted>, Angi. This is why I asked you to not bother calling them. I'll get through this and if I don't make sure my notes get to the right people."

"But I thought you were experimenting to find out what that stuff is."

"I am dear BWARRRRRRRRFFFF but I can't very well get results if it kills me first."

"It can KILL you!?!?!?"

"Sure, why not. I do not know of a single case of kaiseri poisoning other than my own. In other words, it will be an interesting result if it does kill me. Make sure they do an extra good tox screen and then include the results when you turn over my notes."

"You really are an <expletive deleted>. Why couldn't you be into something harmless, like rocks or poop?"


This is when I retreated back to my lair and decided to warn you all. They are brightly colored for a reason folks. It means "Don't mess with me or you will pay, dude."

The odds of you being exposed to the kind of dose I have at the moment is slim, but do not risk it...trust me on this one.

I have to go empty my bucket again...

Quote
I'm still alive.

I admit it was a very, very long night and I wished many, many times I was dead.

I suspect part of the problem is that I am a very fair skinned red-head- common lawn fertilizers make me ill. The swelling has gone down, and my hand works again, but the cut is in ugly shape. The swelling made it worse. I had to resort to saline and methanol irrigation. I then irrigated my self with ethanol, in the form of double distilled, charred oak aged solution.


I did finally stop vomiting, but ended up with tunnel vision until a few hours ago. Still a bit shaky now, but this is probably more from lack of sleep than anything else. The dehydration was pretty severe, but that was nothing a few hours in the tub with a gallon of gatorade couldn't fix.
The stomach cramps were the worst part. Ever had fold-you-in-half type cramps? Me either, until last night. Thankfully, I do not have any teeth left to break from keeping my mouth shut instead of screaming.

The effects came and went in waves. I would be feeling better, things settle down and then WHAM ! right back to hell.

The only other time I have been this sick was due to a rattlesnake bite years ago, and this made snakebite fun...


I use the TAS method of collection. This involves a specially purpose built unit called a Transductal Amphibian Simulator. To make it simple it is basically a low power 5 volt contact taser.

It provides a very small short bandwidth electric shock and is pretty much the standard for amphibian toxin collection. Before anyone starts getting out a hammer and nails for my crucifixion, be advised I test it on my self prior to each use. The specimen gets a jolt which results in the desired defensive effect. The resulting secretions are then swabbed up with a small square of Kimwipe. The advantage to this method is that it does not require the old standard- skinning the specimen alive. After a sample is collected, I carefully observe the specimen for an hour just to make sure everything is alright. I only collect a sample once a month at most.

Once swabbed up, the toxins can be extracted with anhydrous methanol. The resulting samples can also either be stored in methanol and/or lypholized. There is also a method for prepping samples for storage/transport/testing in distilled water with acetic acid as a preservative. This is the part I haven't got right yet.


I too expected a low TTX range similar to the Triturus complex, however initial results are showing some very interesting bioactive peptides in addition. I have to get more extensive testing done and currently I am on a waiting list for two different labs (no respect for undergrads...).

I am also culturing bacteria from the skin. This is merely to determine if there is a symbiotic process going on like in Taricha. The possibility may exist as a small tissue sample from a deceased specimen showed that bacteria do live in the tiny nodules of this species dorsal side. However, I admit it was more about an intensive necropsy at the time given the rarity of freshly dead specimens for study.

Currently, I am on a "stop work safety shut down". Feel free to read that as the wife has threatened to prepare my skin for toxin analysis the old fashioned way. Also, There is tail fanning happening so I will not disturb them until after egg season is over...and we all know that is more important than empty threats from my feisty Hispanic chica.

The aftermath:

Quote
Frankly, the wound in question was nothing major, but is now pretty disgusting. I really don't feel it would be appropriate to post a picture of it. The resulting swelling caused it to tear a bit more, and as expected, the reduced circulation killed some off tissue around the edges. I had to debride it and treat it with neosporin as I do not want a nasty infection. In other words, it is really gross!

I have never worked with any Salamndra or any of the others you list, save for tarichas. With my one taricha I have never handled him or anything in his tank with anything other than tongs and nets. Given my difficulties with various chemical exposures, I am a bit paranoid of the little guy.

Quote
Sounds like a peptide/ alkaloid mix eh? Going to start back up with analyisis here in a few days.

Ever heard of a loss of hot/cold detection in the affected region? I have two fingers that can sense neither.

Quote
Also note the nerve damage to my fingers has thus far proven permanent, however the wound in question has long since healed as left absolutely no trace or scarring. Which I find odd as a wound that size on my hand should have scarred up like crazy.

And another couple of incidents:

Quote
I tell people frequently that bright colors rarely lie. I wash my hands before and after handling any of my amphibians, including the A. tigrinum, and that toxin is fairly mild compared to your subject. Years and years ago I handled some A. laterale and carelessly pulled a few pine needles out of my mouth after falling. Within 30 seconds I had numbness that spread from the 'touch points' and ended up feeling like I just came home from the dentist. Numbness, tingling and awkward drooling lasted about a half-hour, even after rinsing my mouth out thoroughly. I had only handled a couple of individuals for this effect to occur. I was glad I didn't swallow anything, since I could have had some respiratory problems from it. It's easy sometimes to forget the beautiful colors that appeal to us are there for a reason, not just for our fancy.

Quote
I TTXed myself one time with a Taricha. I was giving her injections for an abscess, and had some random cuts around my fingernails (like I always do). Didn't think nothing of it until I couldn't move my arm. It was much like the reaction I get to a tetanus shot; arm wouldn't move, but still had feeling. I had the worst case of 'arm went to sleep but now it's waking up' pins and needles in my entire life. I felt like I wanted to cut my arm off. It didn't cause vomiting, but I felt pretty bad overall.

I read most of those when I followed your link before and found them interesting.  I wondered if you have ever had any ill effects yourself?

Nope, not had any problems with toxins.  Maybe it's because my animals like me; they only secrete toxins when they feel threatened.  I also don't handle them much.  I have a couple of Taricha granulosa, which are the most poisonous species of newt as far as anyone knows, but I seem to have avoided tetrodotoxin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrodotoxin) poisoning from them so far.

Research (no link/radio discussion I followed a couple of minutes ago) has shown that people in Holland and Belgium (N.W. Europe/Europe) are more and more okay with folks being homosexual. It's just not an issue for a lot of people.. but but.. an opposite direction is also noticeable, quite remarkable, amongst young muslim males (mostly) nowadays. Debaters stayed vague about it but what does this say, I'm wondering now.

I really gained a lot more respect for you Icequeen, knowing that you rescue cats. Not saying I had the opposite for you to begin with, but I am a big animal lover (lol, especially when cute Kanner's females are concerned...although having lost the love of my life, my soulmate (who actually started off as my stalker). The most delightful lady I have ever been lucky enough to have the privilege of knowing, and the most beautiful, foxy lass I have ever laid eyes on, I will never again be in a relationship, nobody can ever compare to her.  Well, there are a couple of women I would bee with, perhaps 3, one autie activist lass, this activist with Rett's, and a Kanner's autie girl who I have been in a relationship many years ago and I have never been able to stop thinking of; she met me at a paintball game, and introduced herself by pinning me up against a tree and eating my face. Got to know her name a bit afterwards :P

I don't date NTs, nothing against them at all, but I just don't find them sexually attractive. Girls on the spectrum, or MR girls only.

As for animals, I have taken in all sorts. A hedgehog named (of course, what else) sonic tha I had for a pet, a raven/rook that I took in after the poor wee mite got blasted out of a tree with a shotgun, another bird, a pigeon, not sure what happened to him/her, a slow worm (a kind of legless lizard, that looks like a small snake; a dog, named sasha, a dobermann/generic caning hybrid, and three homeless cat. I'll take in anything. I just can't bear to see an animal in distress or ill treated. I will go without food myself if I have to if it means a miserable animal has food and/or medical care end I have to go hungry. I even move snails off the middle of the street where they are likely to get squashed, and I refuse to put slug pellets on my gardening space.

What else am I thinking? I enjoyed my first ever driving lesson, although it came just after I got out of hospital, having been thrown into sudden adrenal storm thanks to having none of my adrenal blockers in there after having a myoclonic seizure, causing me to fall down, and my knee collapse; which made me fall down on the floor, smashing my head against a sharp wooden panel serving as a door to a cupboard I store lab glassware in that overflows both the Batcave itself, _ the drawers under my bed.

I sliced my face up, and the side of my head, as well as smashing my head against the wall repeatedly. My eyebrow is drooping over my eye, as well as suffering a bleed inside my nose, missed my eye itself by mere millimeters. I hate hospitals to begin with, massive overload is the certain result of being in one for anything but an X-ray, CT scan  on my knee/hip etc.  (can't have an MRI due to metalwork in my face.  And would they give me any pain relief whatsoever, despite the fact of my being in withdrawal from 120mg of oxycodone a day+ the occasional oral morphine (its OTC here in small doses although quite hard to find these days, many pharmacies no longer stock it :(. and I am quite partial to codeine syrup, and when pods are in season, and I can harvest my crops, opium poppy tea.

They could at the very least given me some IV morphine, never mind the fact that I could barely even walk thanks to my knee collapsing constantly, my hip pain (which makes the pain in my knee look like fun), and the fact that aside from having very little feeling in my leg past the knee other than neuropathic pain, which opioids do very, very little to treat, I was in the withdrawal from hell and a massive fuckoff overload. For fucks sake, I had to more or less fall on my hands and knees and beg like a dog for, over several days, an extra box of cereal, and cup of tea. every as scrap of food all that time is the following: 4 of those tiny little taster pack boxes of weetabix, a box of cornflakes that I stole when they weren't looking and when I was REALLY lucky, two cups of hot chocolate to dip them in and a glass of milk. I My bleeding mother of jesus was I starving hungry when I got out. Oh, and one of those tiny little pots of icecream that only seem to be served up in various institution type places, such as hospitals and prisons, that hold perhaps 2-3 spoonfuls at most, or one if one has a tablespoon.  Aside from managing to get 14x40mg oxycontin for free from them, that my regular GP overlooked and scripted me a further weeks supplly along with switching my adrenal blocker to clonidine from a much shorter acting, somewhat weaker one, which is a massive, massive improvement nothing good came of my hospital stay.

Had my first driving lesson today, having just got out of hospital not last night, but late the day before. First thing I ever did after shooting up a hefty dose of my spare oxys, was munch through a whole roast chicken, soaked in as much tabasco habanero sauce as I could cover it in, a whole watermelon, a pack of cheese slices, then a pack of korma spicy turkey chunks, again covered in the extra-hot tabasco sauce, likewise two pepperamis, covered in more of the same. A pepperoni pizza, another watermelon (no tabasco on that, as tempted as I was for a moment :P).

I'm still hungry. I am fairly certain there is a big tub of chocolate icecream in the freezer, another 2 packs of cheese slices in the fridge, along with a watermelon and a half, and two piel de sapo melons.

Time to go find more food, and have a shot of my last two oxycontin/and some of a deschloro N-ethyl-norketamine/methoxylated PCE hybrid mixed up together in the same syringe.

Yeah which is why it hit him so hard. It makes sense now. I saw him Wednesday morning and he was really sleepy, eyes a bit off....but he had just woken up from a nap and with the heat I didn't think anything of it right? Then Thursday evening one of my volunteers called my cell in a panic because he was completely limp. Ugh. It just went downhill so quickly. Got him to the vet Friday morning and the stupid volunteer driver brought him back to the store (which I didn't authorize her to do) and said "vet said he's fine." how can he be "fine" when I later found out he had a fever of 105 and was on prescription food and on antibiotics? She didn't tell ANYONE what the vet had said. It was a clusterfuck. My friend took him from the store and he went nowhere fast and was put down yesterday morning at 11am. The fluid just kept building in his wee belly.  :(

Actually FIP isn't contagious (thank god!). I think you're confusing it with FIV or FeLeuk. I've lost two of my own cats to FeLeuk over the years. Another awful disease.

Got him to the vet Friday morning and the stupid volunteer driver brought him back to the store (which I didn't authorize her to do) and said "vet said he's fine." how can he be "fine" when I later found out he had a fever of 105 and was on prescription food and on antibiotics? She didn't tell ANYONE what the vet had said. It was a clusterfuck. My friend took him from the store and he went nowhere fast and was put down yesterday morning at 11am. The fluid just kept building in his wee belly.  :(

FIP is awful, and so contagious.  I hope the rest of the little ones are ok.
Actually FIP isn't contagious (thank god!). I think you're confusing it with FIV or FeLeuk. I've lost two of my own cats to FeLeuk over the years. Another awful disease.

It can be under the right circumstances.  Back when I worked at a feline only clinic we had an entire cattery wiped out by it.

Note to self, consider a better backup plan so maybe you won't accidentally delete files and spend hours using recovery software to find them again.  >:(

Got lucky and recovered a older version of the file I was looking for but I guess I'll see if I get lucky and find the newest version.

Nah, shark fin soup is very very cruel. 'Fishermen' cut off the fins and throw the still alive shark back in the sea. Eating that soup is.... Well, should be banned, I say.

I'd rather they talk to me like a person, and not pretend they're interested in "cuddling" and "making me smile."  Going the latter route feels like they're pointing their erection at me and trying to pass it off as a bouquet of flowers.

It works on women who're dumb, desperate, and/or looking for a guy to be a source of income.  Not so much on ball-busters.

I, on the other hand want is a smart, funny, kind and honest adult who has his shit at least as well together as me and whose physical appearance at least doesn't actively repel me, to be close friends with and who's a fantastic lay, (or is trainable, which amounts to the same).  Which I know actually *is* a really tall order to fill.

It'd be hella easier if I was just looking for a drug dealer to keep me supplied with crack.  :/

...how the fuck did THIS happen?  I'm snobby about hating intellectual snobs (certain kinds, anyway), but I've definitely become elitist about not wanting to spend much of my free time with "stupid people."  Then again, I lump intellectual snobs into a subcategory of "stupid people."  I need to filter the prejudice through my logical side of my brain at some point and see what comes back clean, and chuck the rest.

Also, I am too the fuck tired for this level of introspection.  I'm going to wallow in my vices till I have the energy to be better.
Don't over analyze it.  Just enjoy being a cranky bitch.   :laugh:

Likewise. My old man just made the delivery :)

I didn't specify what sort of beer I wanted, just told him to get me 4 random big bottles of beer. Came back with one bottle of 'badger tangle foot', and one each of 'bishop's finger' 'Directors' and 'old speckled hen'

Only tried the old speckled hen before, saving that 'till last, this badger's tangle foot is quite tasty. Needed that, I was bloody roasting, and thirsty as Tantalus.


Right now...I am thinking 'hmm..I am torn between going to go lie down on my bed or staying up for a while to read the big stack of research journal articles on kappa-receptor pharmacology and herkinorin, a derivative of salvinorin-A, the neoclerodane diterpene found in Salvia divinorum, the mexican 'diviner's sage', that has less potency as a kappa opioid receptor agonist (the receptor family responsible for producing the hallucinogenic effects, and pretty uniquely, doesn't recruit beta-arrestin2 to the mu-opioid receptor (target of morphine etc., and produces very, very little tolerance, thanks to not having the beta-arrestin2 present to effect uncoupling of the Mu-OR to its G-protein.

Haven't got to try it yet, although I'm pretty confidant that I could perform a semi-synthesis starting from salvinorin-A extracted from the plant itself. I do want to try it out though. Might be a good way to reduce my tolerance to oxy, switching to herkinorin for a while. At any rate it would bee an interesting project, and fun to do the lab work of course.

And I wouldn't mind a few Salvia divinorum plants to grow indoors:) I've tried Salvia a good few times, although never grown any. Tried chewing dried leaves as a quid, and smoking an extract; both of which were bloody well strange as Hades. Very, very intense when smoked, total loss of bodily awareness, although its very short lived. Chewed dried leaf is a much slower onset, far more gentle, less of the 'What the hell, I just got ripped out of my body, unzipped in several different dimensions and lived a thousand undetermined time periods as a vine growing up some tribal shaman's hut walls.

To be a little more specific, I'm looking for guys withing an hour's driving distance of me who're in their mid to late 20s.

It really is difficult to find someone who's actually intelligent, actually kind, and actually honest- just in general, not even to date.  And finding such a person who isn't developmentally still in his teen or college years seems next to fucking impossible.  Everyone's either still living at home or doesn't have a car or is in an even worse financial situation than I am.  Or drinks a lot.  Or wants kids (usually because of a lack of foresight/understanding about what having kids would actually be like, vs. the idea that they would somehow be immortalized by breeding.)

I've been to turkey myself miskitty, was nice, although boiling hot. LOVED the turkish coffee, bloody potent stuff, brought some back, and a czeve to brew it in, although I've run out and need to get some more online. Nothing like turkish coffee to wake one up in the morning, well..maybe a line of GOOD cocaine, but as far as caffeinated stuff goes, turkish coffee is a potent wakeup call in a tiny little cup.

Now time to find food. Pizza looks tempting. I have a pepperami pizza in the fridge and a big bag of mozzarella. And a jar of pickled olives. Can't be a proper pizza without the pickled olives.

I actually do it very rarely lit. Such a pain getting hold of something decent, and it means associating with people that I would sooner vomit on and toss off a bridge for being..well..vermin.

Then once I HAVE it, it means heading to the batcave, and subjecting it to repeated purification steps with different solvents in order to remove all the cuts. Well...almost all. 100% pure charlie HCl is actually so hygroscopic that it will liquify in the atmosphere. So a small amount of lidocaine/glucose etc is allowable, just to have it remain a powder thats easy to handle, but anything else has to go. And oh boy..see how one's 5g shrinks:(

Just take a syringe without a needle, a measuring syringe is over the counter in any pharmacy, and plug it. Hits almost as hard as shooting it up IV, although a little slower than IV. Hits about as fast as an intramuscular injection.

Only ever been to turkey. Was great. Went scuba diving, managed to get a baby octopus stuck on my face. It was such a cute lil thing, I turned over this big sea shell, and out it came, shot up, and clamped itself on my face, before deciding to come and investigate me. Very playful, intelligent seeming critter.

Mmmmm...this olive and pepperoni pizza is delish.

Just a cheap arsed cheese and pepperoni pizza from tesco, but I put a bag and a half of mozzarella shreds on it, and about a quarter jar of pickled olives. I'm stuffed full to bursting, I guess I  will save the last two and a bit slices for breakfast. Get some chow in me before my driving lesson.

My last lesson was a pain in the arse, I'd just got out of hospital for the second time in days, after two admissions to the ER due to a myoclonic seizure each time, that made me fall and cut my face to pieces. I reckon I got off pretty lightly though, my eyebrow had to be held on with butterfly stitches, major black eye, and the other cuts are all running parallel with the natural crease lines of my face, so if they scar badly it won't be very visible.

Time for a post-face-stuffing rollup methinks.

And yeah, it was hilarious misskitty. Really cute lil devil he/she was. Cephalopods are in general pretty intelligent, and the octopus sure seemed like it was. Very curious, wanted to investigate every last bit of my scuba gear, and me in general. Didn't display any sign of fear, such as trying to get away, or spewing ink.

I'd love one for a pet, if only they lived longer. It seems pretty sad really, that an animal with such a degree of intelligence doesn't get to use it for more than 4-5 years at most.

Lol. Octopi are natures expert escape artists. Real houdinis they are. I don't think I COULD keep one as a pet though, I'd love to, but even the biggest octopi, and the deep-sea species that have slower metabolic rates only live for 5 years or so at most. Its odd I think, that they are so intelligent, given how short their life span is,  One would think it would be the longer lived animals, and pack animals such as cetaceans and elephants for instance, that have the greater need for high intelligence, as they have a far greater time to develop a long life experience and use their minds for longer.  Intuitively that is.

I did to begin with, but now I like you even more misskitty, finding out you work with rescue animals. I find it so sad, and utterly FUCKING disgusting, how people can just toss animals away like they would a used plastic bag with tears and holes in it, and do things like tie kittens in bags and dump them. Pricks like that could at least have the decency to buy a cheap basket, line it with something comfortable, and just leave them on somebody's doorstep, ring the bell/knock on the door and leave.

Thats what I would do, if I really couldn't take care of a pet. Find someone with no dogs, and who doesn't appear to be chavscum or similar vermin on doing some recon, then leave them, ring the bell and get off quickly, if I was truly stuck in a deep hole, so to speak, and they had to find a new home. Rather than abandon them to their fate in a shelter, where they might spend ages in a bare cage before finding a home. Not that I am ever likely to have to do that of course, I'll starve myself before letting pets go without what they need. When I was stuck with the devil-whore former housemate, and times were desperately tough, I just subsisted on whatever scraps I could find around the house, bits of cheese, eggs, etc. IF I had food at all, so my cat could have food and fresh litter. Wasn't fun, but I'm hardly likely to starve to death going a couple of weeks with no food, or next to none.

Happily though, The Bitch is gone, never to dirty my door again (at least, not if she doesn't want to be poisoned that is:P) and I have more money.

Gah...in the two years IT was here, I don't think I actually got to do any lab work at all, I couldn't afford to get ANY new equipment, or buy supplies. Had to leave all my projects on the shelf.

I've been working with rescues for over 20 years (started when I was 16) and it's my passion. Right now I run the adoption centre in a local PetSmart store because they're partnered with my rescue. We're 100% no kill cat rescue and everyone who adopts from us goes through a thorough screening. Anti declaw, indoor only etc and we take all of our cats back if for some reason it doesn't work out to prevent them from being taken to high kill shelters. Even if you adopted from us years ago. We had a woman who adopted a bonded pair 8 years ago and they were adult cats at the time. Her Dad is deathly ill and she had to move from Canada back to Wales and the cats would not have been able to handle the stress of such a long flight so we took them back, put them into foster and we're trying to find them their forever home.

I've worked with the worst case scenarios. I adopted a cat who had been shot in the face with a double barrel shotgun at close range, and he lived. it blew off half his jaw, but every time we tried to fix him he was calm, we tried to put him down, he fought. So a team of vets donated their time a reconstructed his jaw with plastic. He ended up living another 6 years, happy as can be and what took him in the end was diabetes.

My family dog was adopted after someone threw up out of a passenger side window of a truck while it was driving down the highway. She landed in the ditch and passerbys found her. When she came in we couldn't pass her up. She was an amazing job.

My son (also an aspie) is helping to socialize a caracal and 2 servals rescued from a place north of me. He's making incredible progress with them. They don't like most people but they really like him. :)

The caracal and servals aren't mine. They're at my friend's farm. Will PM you a link to her website so you can see pics. But son and I go there all the time. He goes as a camper (she rescues animals, socializes them, rehabilitates them into therapy animals, and runs camps for kids with special needs) and she's become one of my closest friends. We're there all the time. It's one place in the world where I can be completely myself, hang out with camels, wallabies, reptiles, horses.....she has over 700 animals. And they want nothing from you.

No, i will stay platonic with Clare.  She ticks a lot of the boxes,  but the 'cock' one,  is the big one right at the top of the list.  :P

She isn't bossy enough either.   :police:

Spiders,  yeah,  nice enough i am sure.  Prefer to see them in books or on the telly.  It's the legs.  Fucking eight of them.  eeeeewwwwwww.

They  might well think the same about us.

Two legs, long history of squashing them, nasty little brats that think MAKING them have only two legs is funny...that would make me think 'bunch of bastards' alright if I was a spider :P

I quite like them personally. My former near neighbors kids, one of them had a pet tarantula, which was a cute 'lil thing.

I've been meaning to clean out the fish tank left behind by the bitch from hell for ages, so I can get a pet scorpion, just have to find a good time to do it.

I don't feel the same way about tarantulas.  Chunky spiders are cool.  Even touchable.   It's the ones that crawl around my bath,  conveniently just as i want to run one!  or sneak up on me when they know i am alone and defenceless, and then proceed to expose me to their ghastly ritual of rubbing their two skinny horrid legs together... like they are warming up for a fight  :zoinks:

Yeah i know it's irrational.  It's silly.  I know i am much bigger than them.  I can laugh at myself...when i am not suffering the company of one!

Insect or animal amputation is horrific.  They don't die here!  I simply section off that part of the house until help arrives and they can then be safely evicted.

LOL bodie, isn't that a bit...extreme?

Glad you don't kill them though. Animal cruelty is one of those things that will quite certainly cause me to lose any respect I might previously of had for the one responsible, chew them more new arses than a kleptomaniac in a leper convention could acquire in a month of sundays, and if I can get away with it, the guilty sack of shite is very likely to find out what it might be like to be tortured and beaten. Makes me sad that I can't just kill them on sight, at least, those who are torturing or casually tormenting and killing animals.

I don't have a problem with killing for food. I'd starve if I didn't, most likely. At the very least, there would be very, very little for me to eat. And I will kill animals if I have to for my own safety, but even then, not if I can't find another way of dealing with them.  For instance, wasps, I never kill them, weather or not they are in the house, or just stung me, I'll catch them and dump them outside.

About the only time I do kill any sort of animals, is when its for their own good. Like the sewer rat I had to shoot once...that was NOT a pleasant thing to have to do. Found it, obviously poisoned and dying, slowly, in town after getting off a tram. I'm not going to leave it to suffer, and figured a shot to the head from close to point blank is going to be by far the merciful option, compared to leaving it to suffer for days.

Had a pet spider for quite a while, a brown widow. But she was murdered by the pigs when they raided the house, illegally I might add, a while back. She had just laid two egg sacks, and I was caring for her, and at least 100 (at the low end) young, when I got back later that day from the pig shop, they were ALL dead, as was the other egg sack.

Thinking that I've been wanting to shoot some of my oxycontin all day for some reason, but have had no syringes or needles. Did have a micron filter, but a sodding lot of good that will do with nothing either to filter something into, or a needle to shoot up with once its filtered.

Just got a package delivered, don't know what it is, but I didn't order any new lab equipment, or any reagents/solvents....so this SHOULD be my order. I do hope so.


Yay. Exchangesupplies.org do a fine job I think, helping to reduce the harm amongst more typical IV users (by that I mean, users of street drugs, especially those without a good understanding of medicine, physiology, neurology, biochem and pharmacology, etc.), by distributing very low cost, sterile rigs/syringes/needles, sterile water single use amps, single-use medical quality citric acid/vitamin C (for H users, who are getting heroin base rather than HCl, that has to be cooked up with an acid to make it soluble in water), along with distributing harm reduction literature and posters for no cost whatsoever.

I am physically dependent, Peter; yes. Have been for a fair few years, a little shorter of a time period than that of my being on a repeat rx of opioids, not sure what I can do about that though, other than cessation of regular/daily use. I see it as the lesser of the two evils though by a considerable way. The greater one being having to take opioids daily coupled with being in constant pain, weather I do, or not. I CAN walk without, although I use a cane, but I can't run, not sure how much is pain and how much is physical impairment though, certainly, a mixture of both.

I've been an on and off opiate user for quite a long time prior to my knee getting anywhere near as bad as it is now, and for many years before the relatively recent development of my hip problem, and since before the issues with neuropathy (thanks a whore-begat bunch, surgeons, I'm ever so shitting grateful! Could at least have fixed my knee while you were cutting me open and playing whack-a-mole with my sensory nerves.)

Not difficult here in the UK, since codeine, dihydrocodeine, morphine, and tincture of opium cough syrups are all available here with nothing more than the pharmacist asking (usually. Technically they are obligated to, but its not uncommon they don't, who its for, WHAT is it for, sometimes if the purchaser has ever had it before, and the limit, usually but not always, sometimes one gets lucky, a limit to one bottle/box of tablets per customer, and they don't like selling to the same buyer too often either. Lol, they are even good enough to make tincture of opium chewy candies :D

And opium poppies grow wild, and are easy to grow, quite legally, until/unless one prepares it for consumption, lances the pods for opium, or does an extraction, they are a nice treat when they are in-season. The climate could be better its true, but they certainly do produce, when I had less tolerance thanks to not being on a script, and when I hadn't been on them years I've gotten absolutely bloody smashed flat from one jug of tea from decent pods :D

Also legal, although not OTC are O-desmethyltramadol (although I cannot tolerate tramadol, its also an SNRI, and anything elevating noradrenaline levels is pretty much poison in my book), kratom (Mitragyna speciosa, a south-east asian small tree, with a spectrum of Mu-opioid receptor agonists, delta-OR agonists, amongst other things, this one is OTC from head shops, and quite pleasant. Various research chemicals are also unscheduled, and a few other plants. There are others also, various opioids that are rx-only in other countries, are unscheduled here thankfully :)

I don't consider myself an opioid addict. I would bee the first one to admit it if I did/was, I have been addicted to other things in the past, and I have always been open about it (other than, of course, to the filth. To who's piggy snouts and dishonorable natures honesty is rarely the best policy, of course [no bloody shite]), I did when I was addicted to GBL, and to barbital, the first barbiturate, now obsolete for decades worldwide in medical practice.

I'd way sooner have say, a shot of oxy, a jug of pod tea, an ice-cold pint or two and a joint, than get drunk, which I do not enjoy much at all, thats just my personal preference however.

I've done coke, amphetamine, methamphetamine, N-ethylamphetamine, methylphenidate, and I have tried crack (really did not care for it, I've only ever smoked base a few times, not sure exactly how many, but can quite literally count them on the fingers of one hand with a finger left over, first time I only found out about it AFTER taking it), as well as trying heroin (enjoyed the IV opioids, as well as methadone a lot, but never became a regular user, aside from when I got wrongfully remanded after becoming addicted to barbital/veronal, and the filth found my lab, just assumed I was some sort of fucking terrorist type!, I did smoke H fairly often, as well as take buprenorphine, but inside there is literally fuck all to do, other than watch shitty TV, and if I was really lucky, take a few books out a week. At the speed I read, a thick, long book like lord of the rings for instance will literally last me two days.

LOL; it is too bad that dealers on the out do not take a few packs of baccy and/or bags of cookies in payment for a wrap of smack :P), methadone, IV morphine, various PCP, eticyclidine analogs, ketamine, and all sorts of other stuff, from MDMA and its beta-ketone analog methylone, to more unusual stuff like strychnine (it is well known as a poison, but in small doses its also a highly atypical type of stimulant, acting as an antagonist at strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors), DMT, yopo snuff (made from the seeds of certain trees in the genus Anadenanthera, main active is bufotenine, its traditionally used by some tribes of amazonian 'indians', diethyl ether, inhaled and by mouth, alpha-methyltryptamine, 5-methoxy-n,n-diallyltryptamine, amongst plenty of other stuff.

Interestingly (to me at any rate), I am not at all a fan of the entactogen/empathogens like MDMA/beta-C=O-MDMA etc. Other than, of the ones I have tried, alpha-methyltryptamine, a true full blown 5HT2aR agonist psychedelic, I have a theory that its got something to do with auties having less oxytocin in general, the so-called cuddle hormone, than NTs do, I am not built to be a touchy-feely loved up close contact fanatic...ICK:P Nasty!

Although I do recognize the great therapeutic and healing potential to those with PTSD o  those who have been traumatized, or those who are closed off from themselves. I have PTSD myself, and after taking AMT (alpha-methyltryptamine, the only entactogen that really agrees with me, that I actually enjoy, thanks to it being a full blown classic psychedelic. Took it several times whilst on a long solo hike in my favourite woods, searching for wild mushrooms to eat, and for medicine, so I could be alone with my thoughts, pick through and analyze my emotions, and after many hours, starting early, before dawn, at first light, and after taking several carrier bags full of delicious wild fungi for breakfast, found myself a quiet little woodland glade, and curled up at the base of a tree, still tripping nicely ehehe, watching the world pass by, again enjoying being alone with my thoughts, and thankful for the ability to engage with the sources of my traumatic experiences responsible for my PTSD without it triggering my fight/flight response or being painful to recall or deal with, allaying my inherent fears that would otherwise bee, in a word, fucking well truly shit-your-britches terrifying on a gut level; after a good 4-5-6 hours ish of that part of my AMT work (heh, well, I daresay, mixing business with pleasure :)), staying in my little clearing, I just curled around my tree and went to sleep.

Its helped me a ton, having got nowhere when trying to overcome my PTSD-related issues when completely un-influenced by anything other than my regular rx meds over a couple of years at least. I feel its time for another couple of mycological forays, with some AMT, a nice chilled crate of beer in my backpack, my rollups, MP3 player and some good herb :)

It is that. Fucking infested with bacon.  Ignorant rat-bastard sons of whores that they are. But yes, one can walk into most pharmacies and come out with a bottle of morphine cough mixture for example. No RX needed. Just answer a few questions and there you go....lots of opioid goodness :)

Weird. Sweden is less of a police state, but you would never get anything narcotic here without a prescription. The last OTC drug with codeine was withdrawn in 1985. But they are absurdly anti drugs here. When the rest of Europe is legalizing, Sweden still holds on to its zero tolerance. If you have really bad cough a nice doc might prescribe a small bottle of syrup with ethyl morphine.

Well, well, it's legal to have poppies, though, as long as you don't harvest :angel:
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on July 17, 2012, 03:44:08 PM
Never tried ethylmorphine. I don't think its used here in the UK at all.

No need to try a codeine analog, except as a curiosity-driven bioassay. When I can have morphine itself. Just harvesting enough pods and poppy straw at the moment to make it worth an extraction and separation of the morphine, codeine, thebaine and other alkaloids. I want to try a purified version of 'kompot', aka polish heroin. Basically they just acetylate a crude mixture of alkaloids derived from pod tea, evaporated down etc.

Although I will be separating out the purified alkaloids, removing the codeine content for future experimentation, as codeine can easily cause fatal pulmonary oedema if shot up, thanks to it being such a bugger when it comes to releasing histamine.

And rather than the traditional acetic anhydride/acetyl chloride to prepare mono/di-acetylmorphine, aka H; the plan is to hit it with some of my spare acetyl chloride, as far as my AMPAkine project goes, I have tons of the stuff spare, I only need a few mililitres, and I have 100ml or so. The AMPAkine I'm working on, DM-235, otherwise known as sunifiram, is fully active in the 0.001mg/kg range in rats, so presumably less in humans due to far faster murine metabolism; compared with humans. IIRC the human metabolic rate is in the region of one tenth of the murine model; 10mg of given compound XYZ compound in the rat, is not unlikely to equate to around 1mg of XYZ intravenound XYZ in man. Just a rule of thumb however, and certainly not consistent enough to use t as anything more than a tool to work doses out, just using that rule of thumb and banging up whatever it says is likely in people could easily lead to an overdose/fatality.

All the morph/codeine/opium tincture syrups here are basically ancient throwbacks to a past era, but still, its good to be able to just walk round town and pop into every pharmacy and supermarket to get my goodies. My favourites are Gee's linctus, a tincture of opium in a spicy flavoured cough syrup. Very much prehistoric and hard to find these days though :( and codeine linctus which is likewise fucking hard to find. No rx needed, but few pharmacies carry it now, There are three of the latter, one flavoured with sugar free orange. Cunting well rank stuff, it tastes exactly the same as the penicillin liquid I was forced to continue taking despite being allergic to beta-lactam antibiotics. If they did that now,it would kill me..truly horrid stuff. The others are the non-sugar-free one, which is flavoured with, of all the crowbegotten things, chloroform.  I LOVE the scent of chloroform I make a cocktail with it; lol. Equal parts of tesco own brand lime juice, the codeine syrup, and vodka. Tastes great, if I do say so myself:P

The last is terpin and codeine linctus. Fucking well foul stuff, contains white pine oil, its absofuckinglutely awful. contains a wee little bit more codeine than the others, just 1mg/ml though though; irritate my stomach though, I can't take more than a shot glass of it at one time though, to avoid throwing up.

At the same time,  not necking more than half a bottle or so,to avoid G.I discomfort. More than I can tolerate of terpin&codeine at any rate. Mein Gott! that stuff is bloody foul!

I'm looking forward to reaching my target for pod harvesting-minimum=1kg of pods. Preferably at least 1.5kg. So I can extract repeatedly with acidified H2O, filter the plant matter out of it, denature any proteins with methanol, distill off the solvent, then get shot of any solvent remaining in the mixture. Purify by forming the calcium phenolate salts, which are insoluble in H2O, then extract the codeine, for future experimenting or other uses, ,which could well cause anaphylactic shock and death, then simply taking up the alkaloids in methanol (best alcohol to use for me, as I have about 10 liters just sitting there on its arse in one of the cupboards in the lab I keep my reagents and solvents in. Take some propionyl chloride up in thoroughly dried toluene, then add the two, reflux in the 50ml flask I've been dying to try out for ages. Result? a full-spectrum (minus the codeine and its pulmonary oedema-causing tendencies, and the propionyl esfters of any phenolic alkaloids present, such as morphine. Dipropionylmorphine is at least twice and a bit as potent as skag itself, and more lipophilic (fat soluble) so it hits faster and gives a greater rush when IVed.
Needs micron filtering of course before use.

Can't wait to try it out:).

Oh well, here goes

Bodie's Prayer   :angel:
"Our Father who art in heaven,  please can you make it so that a dominant, imposing man, who is demanding and strict taketh charge of
Bodie!  After many hours of instructing the said Bodie into sordid acts of submission could you please get him to bend her over and bang her senseless, possibly issuing a well deserved slap on the bottom at the crucial moment!  Yes M'Laud she needs banging... banging like a shithouse door in the wind :zoinks:

Oh please answer this prayer,  cbc said you might be able to provide this well needed and long overdue 'relief'
Amen''

My cousin stole my lmited edition liilac psp and my limited edition gold ds lite. His eneabler mother will replace them when she gets the money. He's  going to destroy her marriage.  Her husband is fed up with his bullshit. He gets high on synthetic weed his mother buys and makes irritating fart noises all day long and says "driver" and random shit. She refuses to let him live at the homeless shelter. He doesn't care. He just wants someone to hand him money and pay for him to sit on his ass.

Had to stay 2 nights in the hospital because I couldn't stop vomiting the first day every time I ate something. And let me just say, when people tell you that having your tonsil outs as an adult is a horrendous experience, they're not lying or exaggerating at all. I haven't been able to use the computer for the last week because my mind is that out of it from the medication, still is somewhat so I probably won't be returning on-line properly for another week or two.

But still operation went fine, pathology turned up nothing malicious and right now the pain is bearable.

Yes, it is.  It is from a card i made him when he was ill in hospital. The little squares all the way round are Royal Navy Flags.  I scanned it a while ago, but then i gave the card back to my mum, and i couldn't remember where i had stored it for ages...then i had a eureekaa moment!

He was an able seaman on a destroyer called H.M.S. Petard in WWII and since his death i have been an honorary member of that association.  They sent me a piece of cake recently, it was their 70th Anniversary, and it sits on my desk (i don't like fruit cake)  -  i guess i just been thinking about him more than normal.  My Dad was my hero  :viking:

And currently thinking 'fuck am I ever hungry', damn glad I have 3/4 of a roast chicken, cold from the fridge the way I like it. Christ...the smell of the open bottle of habanero sauce is making my mouth water, possibly also my eyeballs bleed a bit round the edges but.....:D

And wondering why my attention span is so prone to wandering today. I SHOULD be reading K.W.Bentley's 'the chemistry of the morphine alkaloids'...but busy reading some computer security stuff online at the same time :P

And its still trying to wander elsewhere..like the bushes at the bottom of the garden covered in very recently ripened blueberries that need eating. They don't get any better than that, fresh off the plant. Its very rare that any actually ever get as far as the kitchen door to go into a bowl, I CBF going to get sugar when it delays filling my face.

Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: lutra on August 09, 2012, 07:01:20 AM
Um, I was interested myself and looked for some info about the laurel. A copy/pasted paragraph from Wikipee:

Symbolism

Bay laurel was used to fashion the laurel wreath of ancient Greece, a symbol of highest status. A wreath of bay laurels was given as the prize at the Pythian Games because the games were in honor of Apollo, and the laurel was one of his symbols.

Ovid tells the story that laurel tree was first formed when the nymph Daphne was changed into a laurel tree because of Apollo's pursuit of her. Daphne is the Greek name for the tree.[10]

The symbolism carried over to Roman culture, which held the laurel as a symbol of victory.[11] It is also the source of the words baccalaureate and poet laureate, as well as the expressions "assume the laurel" and "resting on one's laurels".

In the Bible, the laurel is often an emblem of prosperity and fame. In Christian tradition, it symbolizes the resurrection of Christ.

In Chinese folklore, there is a great laurel tree on the moon, and the Chinese name for the laurel, (Chinese: 月桂), literally translates to "moon-laurel". This is the subject of a story of Wu Gang, a man who aspired to immortality and neglected his work. When the deities discovered this, they sentenced Wu Gang to fell the laurel tree, whereupon he could join the ranks of the deities; however, since the laurel regenerated immediately when cut, it could never be felled. The phrase (Chinese: 吴刚伐木) ("Wu Gang chops the tree") is sometimes used to refer to endless toil, analogous to the legend of Sisyphus in Greek mythology.


Think (not sure) the wreath was made of the Laurus nobilis variant though. My garden hedge is different.. um, even poisonous, I though.

Had a good time.  Pretty sure some of the odd social flaws I've been noticing myself developing over the last several months were really noticeable; I noticed people reacting to them.  But overall it was a good time.  Back to semi-sad today, of course.  At least I have the day off, so I don't have to do anything.  I ought to take time off more often.  When being alone isn't such a big problem for me, that is.

Thinking of pulling out the high grass and weeds on the roof of my garage in a bit. Looks quite messy at the moment. Probs cut off some of the branches of a the big tree while I'm at it as well. Some of the (branch) endings/tips make contact with the roof of the house. In the room under the roof there you can hear the tips scraping the roof tiles when there's wind (and rain).

What about having a variety of finger foods and have a picnic on the floor? My kids used to love doing that. Actually they still do. They have very different tastes in food and it was always an easy way to appease both of them. We would have a picnic on the floor while watching a movie, or in front of the fireplace. Spread out a big blanket etc. It was fun.

This is unbeatable against itches. It's a very simple mix of acetic acid, alcohol, ethyl acetate and water, but it helps.

The PR astounds me.  She has Cerebral Palsy, right hand and arm.  She amassed a large debit card debt and has no extra $ for anything for the next few months.  The slats on her bed have been valling out because one of the support board has broken.  She has been dismantling the bed daily for about 5 or 6 days with only one hand. 

And I'm letting her do it.  I told her the only solution was to clean her room so I could get in there and nail the support board back to the frame or put the mattresses on the floor. Naw, she wants a new bed.  Like that's going to happen.  Lessons are being learned, slowly.

Radio DJ just gave me the news that Mark David Chapman 'juridically' asked for an 'earlier' release from prison but was denied by some court today.

Fart Chapman has now spent almost 32 years in prison and was sentenced 20 years-to-life for killing John Lennon in 1980. What would be my thoughts when his parole perhaps does get granted in the future.

His totally stupid of act basically, thinking about it now, killed a hopeful 'zeitgeist' back then.. and had an almost global impact. Dunno..

The PR. 

I was at the diner having b'fast when she called them and said she had to speak to me, it was an emergency.  I told them to tell her I'd call her back on the cell (which was turned off and why she had to call the diner.)  Turns out some of her Twitter followers have been posting about DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND SEX to her.  What should she do?

Told her I'd figure it out when I got home.  By then she'd unfriended all of them.  We reworded her profile to include that she wasn't into those things and to not tweet them to her.  Anyway, she found the solution.  Now if she'd only not get all excited and bothered, things would be smoother.

Could be,

Also to lazy to google. But, someone like Carol Christ suggest people to reconstruct a deity, when feeling religiously empty after getting rid of old beliefs, because, according to her, that empty place is best filled knowingly, so, it will not take you by unpleasant surprise, when the empty 'space' fills itself.

I think these 3 or so days trapped in a hotel room with PA and the PR are going to be hell.  Especially if the electricity goes off.  He's been teasing her and she's been snapping at him.  I know it's the close quarters and the hurricane, but I'm considering riding out the storm in the car.

Put them in the car. You are not to blame. :P

  Yes, let them fight it out in the car while you sleep in comfort.  :thumbup:

A pigeon, I found it, quite decomposed, beyond smelling, a couple of months ago. Brought it to my garden, hoping it would end up as a good clean skeleton. But...., by the time it was as good as it could get, my cat decided it was perfect to take a nap on. The bones were very brittle already, so, it fell completely apart, I never found the beak back. Picked the best bones and threw the other remains away.

Got some hedgehog bones in the house too. My youngest spent lots of time picking them, at a place I had seen a dead hedgehog half a year before.

The latter was released as some sort of promo IIRC from a special tour.)

And the bitch former housemate's DVD collection. Nothing I'd ever watch.

 This officer is a very capable and efficient navigator, who has participated in attacks on very heavily defended enemy targets such as Bottrop, Saarbrucken, Stuttgart and Essen.  This officer's devotion to duty, even under the heaviest enemy fire, as well as his determination to make every attack successful has, in no small way, contributed much to the successes attained by his crew.  On the ground, this officer has spent many hours training new navigators and the successes derived from his experienced teachings have done much to keep the efficiency of the navigation section of this squadron at its very high standard.

Sweet! the postie delivered my big bag of arylcyclohexylamines a full hour earlier than the 1am deadline :)

Can't wait to finally bioassay 3-hydroxyphencyclidine. Been looking for that for months. I only have 10mg, but it should be interesting. Apparently quite a potent opioid, and near to the potency of PCP itself as far as NMDA antagonism goes. I also have 5g of 4-methoxy-PCP and 500mg of 2-methoxydeschloroketamine to experiment with :)

That I can learn a lot from the incomparable Julie Newmar

GRACE 

Grace is the quality of being whole in the midst of noise or chaos
Grace sees from on top the amazing productive diversity of this world at large
Grace breathes wholeness, knows that nothing is missing when “evidence” says otherwise
Grace is playful, enjoys the child within and without
Grace breathes when others shout
Grace looks right into the whole of the person and sees the potential rather than the weakness
Grace exposes lightly a fear, a failure, a disconnect; leaving an opening, a thread, an arm to the heart of another
Grace imposes no restraint, blockage or belittling on another. . .Grace is fully there with the other
Grace lifts its owner away from futility to a feeling for the light, always sensing the possible
Grace does discriminate however, toward higher value
Grace sits up straight, is not stressed
Grace hears Handel and Mozart and is instantly exhilarated
Grace balances itself with an invisible thread from toe to head to universe
Grace has its own drug store within and relies on the Universal law of nature for self healing
Grace abhors fear as wasted effort, awareness is its by-word
Grace evaluates all that is and sees that it is good, knowing that the universe is working out for each one of us
Grace is appreciative of everyone and everything
Therefore, I am whole, complete and perfect most of the time!   (If not, reread this missive)

How come you aren't sleeping well lately miss K ?

Stress from dealing with that faggot ex?

You could always try some valerian root, miss K. A gentle relaxant, capsules are available in holland&barrett, and probably cheaper online. Smells awful, but its not too heavy duty, like benzos might be (although it might be worth considering asking your doc for a weeks course of a benzo, that much sleep deprivation isn't good for you)

It does work though, at least for a lot of people (I'd likely not notice it myself, being on chlormethiazole)

Hope you feel better soon *squeezes*


I'm thinking that I am REALLY not looking forward to winter. We have had some really harsh ones the last 2-3 years, I think it was the one before last, that was one of the coldest on record for quite a long time.

Last years winter was a disappointment. I love a good blizzard and we didn't get any.  :thumbdn:

Lack of sleep is due to anxiety. It goes in waves so I know it will pass. I've used Melatonin in the past and it's worked well but it's not helping right now.

I very rarely take anything unless I absolutely have to. I don't feel desperate enough to get meds from my doctor just yet. She's offered them to me before but I've always declined. I'll ride it out and see how it goes.

Post by: Lestat on October 06, 2012, 09:28:26 AM
Valerian works in a similar way to rx sedative/antianxiety drugs, although at a different binding site on the GABAa receptor complex, but its no knockout or heavy duty stuff, pretty gentle, and I don't see it being addictive.

Another option is lemon balm tea, chamomile tea again is another (although I don't like chamomile tea myself, I don't like the taste. The balm on the other hand, is delicious,. sweetened with honey. You can probably buy it online dried, although fresh is best of all.

I'd grab some seeds too, it is REALLY easy to grow.One of the mint family, they grow fast, my tiny plants I'd begged from the daughter of somebody who planted a public herb garden took off like a rocket, now several feet tall, big busy things.

It isn't really a sedative, but good for soothing frazzled nerves, and has a relaxing effect. Chamomile tea especially is even ok for kids.

Hope some of this helps you miss K.

The personnel just wants to either tease you, or give you the feeling that you still look young.

And the teens, well, they have a nose for that, you don't smell like a teenage boy any more.

Just your luck.  >:D

Valerian works in a similar way to rx sedative/antianxiety drugs, although at a different binding site on the GABAa receptor complex, but its no knockout or heavy duty stuff, pretty gentle, and I don't see it being addictive.

Another option is lemon balm tea, chamomile tea again is another (although I don't like chamomile tea myself, I don't like the taste. The balm on the other hand, is delicious,. sweetened with honey. You can probably buy it online dried, although fresh is best of all.

I'd grab some seeds too, it is REALLY easy to grow.One of the mint family, they grow fast, my tiny plants I'd begged from the daughter of somebody who planted a public herb garden took off like a rocket, now several feet tall, big busy things.

It isn't really a sedative, but good for soothing frazzled nerves, and has a relaxing effect. Chamomile tea especially is even ok for kids.

Hope some of this helps you miss K.
Yeah I've used chamomile for years. The oldest likes it as well. I'll have to look into growing some.

AFAIK, its pretty easy to grow. Balm, that is REALLY easy. I really should get round to weeding that bit of the garden soon, once I get those steroid shots done and get my new rx on wednesday (assuming the pain clinic don't do something first that is) and bending is easier. Even being generally neglected it bushes out like crazy. Tastes a whole lot nicer than chamomile too IMO, especially with honey to sweeten, its really refreshing.

I don't think you are hate worthy.  I don't know you very well but my impression of you is so very far away from anything hateful.  You always speak with great passion about your kids and from this i conclude you to be a great Dad.  Even if that is all you ever aspire to be (and i am sure there is much more to you than that) then you still have much to be proud of.  You are very likeable so cheer up :)


I am thinking about my bum.  It was felt, quite recently, and a comment was made about me still being young.  After further questioning i discovered that women of a certain age eventually get a saggy one.   :o   So, despite being assured i still have a pert bottom, i am facing impending saggyness.   :(

Not a nice thought.  I have found myself no longer simply sitting down, but instead i 'perch' on the chair typing this in a vain attempt at preserving pertness.  ::)

You should take lots of pictures so you are always reminded what it was like back before the sagging set in.  Just to be safe, you should probably store those photos online where they can't be lost.  A thread in the elder's forum is probably your best bet.

My thought for now:  Why can't you get to sleep before the sun comes up?  Even if  you skip the nightie-night meds, you shouldn't be up the entire night.  And now you're hungry.  Damn.

Somehow I have been using mindfulness techniques since puberty. Works well, when it is about dealing with pain for me. I can discern between pain to act on, and pain to just let be till it passes.
When it comes to stress, I have used the same techniques to endure more than I should have. Finally learning to discern between stress that will pass, and stress that needs action to prevent mental havoc.

When taught properly, not only should the techniques learn you how to deal with stress in a way that it will not bother you that much, but also that it will make you act, when action is needed.
If taught well, your boss should also get critique on things that lead to things structurally leading to unnecessary stress.  :viking:

Coupla benefits I'll name:

1.  Experiencing an emotion non-judgmentally.  That is, the bodily sensations (breathing, tension, temperature, sensations, etc), the feeling itself, the thoughts (not trying to control them or hold on to them, but just noticing them).  This teaches you to a. recognize and b. better tolerate emotions (without acting on them), which not everyone has any real ability to do.  ex.  re-training oneself to be able to know that feeling unhappy doesn't necessarily mean one has to get up and "fix" that feeling immediately.
2.  Focusing oneself away from one's emotions, and also away from the past and the future.  Especially helpful with people with PTSD and/or worriers- to remember what's happening in the present moment, to focus on it, rather than on traumatic memories or on fears about the future.

That said, in general, I have always been better at throwing my mind into something entirely unrelated to reality than at reigning it in on anyone's command.  I also think having way the hell too many therapists tell me to do deep breathing and to count to ten (and all the other cliches) when I was upset (rather than dealing with me at whatever my actual developmental level was at the time, validating what I was bloody feeling, talking to me, and figuring out things like, oh hey, she has horrible things happen to her at home and gets punished for reacting to them, or at best gets told to take a tranquilizer), combined with having asthma and frankly often just plain not feeling right in my own skin (hooray persistent sensory issues that get worse when I'm upset!), have classically conditioned me to feel MORE tense when I do them.

One of the best things a therapist taught me in the direct-coping department were grounding techniques, which are kind of like mindfulness, except without the part where I have a panic attack, lol.

Kanon Preaching 9/14/2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moLp3IthDN0#ws)

Do not know what to say, hardly..

Well, I came across this 'preaching' kiddo.. Kanon Tipton, who, I reckon, is now 5 years old.. watching the National Geographic channel earlier this evening. 'Pint-sized preachers' the program is called and.. gassing flabbers, gut-feeling says, this is very very wrong. This cannot be natural behaviour for a child of five (4?). WTF?

Baby Preacher World's Youngest Preacher No Subtitles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zALqMWimBbM#)

*getting a tadski angrier here*

Do daddio and grandfart let the poor little fella still be portrayed (on film) when he goes seriously schizophrenic later on, I wonder.

Um, most 'serious²' christians (monotheists) live in a very deluded, fairy-tail-like, world, I think.. and their perceptions through 'far far-off' glasses make them go totally lost in illogicality. Logic, empiricism, evolution of species, tunnel- and radicalistic-view avoidance.. 'they' seem not to understand at all.

Thank you :) I'm trying to throw my energy into other things. I suppose to try and keep the depression at bay. Not sure if the unavoidable news has hit me just yet. My Gram helped raise me and she's one of my best friends. Knowing she's still out there somewhere brings some sort of relief and keeps the thoughts of what it will be like when she's not, away from the forefront. Thankfully, I have amazing friends and family all at the ready to jump in if I fall apart. I guess I won't know what I will feel like until after it happens.

Yesterday she rallied yet again. Eyes wide open, chatty, and a nurse offered her a foot massage and she excitedly said "you bet! I'd be a fool to turn that down!" Ugh. This back and forth business is on one hand, so like her to keep us guessing :laugh: But exhausting at the same time. She will never rally enough to have a good quality of life so for her sake I hope she goes soon but I guess she'll go when she's ready. Haven't gotten an update to find out what she's like today. She has these bouts of energy, followed by sessions where we lose her and she can't open her eyes, won't respond, heart rate and breath are erratic. Stressful.

It was stupid of me to tell someone about a decision I had made hoping I'd get support. Instead they told me exactly what I figured they would...."you can't make that decision...what if...." followed up by "well it's your decision to make...but..." I can't keep letting what if's dictate my life. I wish they'd realize it. On the other hand, I need to stop looking for approval.

When I was 9, I was bullied. I beat some of the bullies up. Then the cunts running the school threatened to report me to the authorities, so mum and dad homeschooled me for several months. In just four months I had finished 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th classes without spending more time on it than in school, which shows how much potential the "system" wastes  :thumbdn:

Whats wrong with spiders?

I like spiders, been looking into how I might get somebody to be able to  legally export native ozzy wildlife. I used to have a pet false widow (steatoda spp.), and a brown widow (Latrodectus)

My false widow female had laid eggs, and during a wrongful raid and arrest by the filth, those cunting bastard fucking gobbets of sewage killed the lot.

Anybody here in oz, I will pay a fair pricefor some species of spider. My wanted list:

Redback
The GROUND DWELLING spp. of funnelweb (Atrax, I don't really have the space or experience with arboreal spiders to care for Hadronyche appropriately)

What I really am  after though, is the eastern mouse spider, Missulena occatoria. Would also pay for M.bradleyi though.

Careful with  these guys. Mouse spider venom is similar to funnelweb venom in composition and mode of action, yet the vast majority of bites do not lead to systemic symptoms of envenomation, seems mouse spiders, whilst having potent venom, either deliver relatively little of it, or inflict dry bites.

Today my younger sister had to undergo some tests in the local hospital. She found a little lump in one of her breasts and went to doctor and..   Friday the test results will be given and I just really really hope it's nothing nasty.

Albeit being a terrible 'help' with these things (comforting someone I love who is in worry/pain/distress/etc.. ) I think I should buy her a bunch of flowers tomorrow.. and ja, pay her a visit.

That would be good. Being that it's your sister, she knows you well and understands how uncomfortable you feel. Most times, doing something (anything) is better than doing nothing so it will be well received.

What a long wait. Got a mammapoli not too far away from here, and there you get four tests done in the morning, and the results you will hear after lunch. And, if it turns out bad, you get your follow up plan laid out before you then too.

Hope your sister will be fine, and that the waiting doesn't stress her out too much.

A prime minister, commenting from abroad that he has made it a rule not to answer on anything in the homeland, while he is abroad somehow doesn't make me trust him that much.

He has his own party in havoc, and lots of other people really dreading the plans for the next five years. Nothing has been worked out properly. And, then all he can say is something like "No comment, because I am visiting Turkey". WTF. Will he do similar if a disaster would strike? He lost my respect with that answer. No matter where he is, he should at least express that he is aware and that he cares.

Had a nap and woke up to two scathing emails from a woman I know, aimed at two mutual friends who's two boys are friends with mine. Apparently she feels their two sons belitted her son this week and made him feel excluded. She went as far to say that she hopes that both these two boys are bullied and made fun of so they can hurt too and if they ever cross paths with her, she'll not be so kind. WHO DOES THAT!?!?! Holy shit. If you have an issue, take it up with the parents but have a little class.

What really sucked is that one of the Mom's, her son is an aspie and this woman in a round about way said that since she's such a crap mother, no wonder why her son turned out like he did. It was all sorts of crazy.

I won't press, but I went through a lot of medical stuff with my ex about headaches (his) and treatments for them, so I may have some knowledge; feel free to PM me if you'd like to compare notes.

Old friend hitting me up for cash. Says he needs to take a bus across the country to go do rehab. No dude, you're running away per usual and I can't give you money. I'm a single momma and I have two kids to support, one of which has disabilities. His response? "Well I don't need $80 exactly, any little bit would be great." No dude. I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS. Now to warn our mutual friends out west that he's trying to get there. Last time he bunked with my best friend, overstayed his welcome, and shafted her for hundreds of dollars.  ::)

exactly. Where he lives is junkie central. lots of rehab to choose from. The only reason why he threw rehab into his plea is because the last time we talked he thought if he dated me (because he knew me from church eons ago) that would help him kick his drug habit. I threw some hard truth at home and said you don't need a gf, you need rehab. he said I need to go out west, i had my shit together out there. I said you don't need to go out west, you need rehab. (And he didn't have his shit together, he had the same issues there as he has here) So now he comes to me with "i'm going out west to go to rehab." Oh really now. :laugh:

I had a gypsy woman come up to me in town a few weeks ago, give me a rose and a piece of paper that said how she needed money to feed her kids. Gave her some change, thinking she'd leave. But no. She tried for ages to take me to the fucking ATM to draw money out for her. Fucking hell! Apprently they do that a lot too. Also send kids with obvious disabilities over. When me and my mate were in Burger King last year this little foreign girl who was cross eyed came round begging for money. I always give some as I feel bad, but then you dunno whether you're jus fuelling a drug habit or not (with the older ones I mean). but then I think, if life is that shit that you're prepared to sit out here all day begging for a bit of change in the freezing cold and/or rain, it cant be that great. Edinburgh seems to have SHITLOADS of homeless people. You can't go out at night there without walking about about one on every corner/street

I was driving home one night and a pandhandler was walking in between cars during a red light looking for change. This man was indeed homeless. He had more missing teeth, than teeth itself, stunk to high heaven, clothes had more holes than fabric and his shoes were nearly worn through. So I gave him $2. It wasn't much but he was incredibly grateful. The car in front of me, a Porche, gave him some as well so I said to him "Well if you can get a Porsche to give up a little cash, it isn't such a bad day now is it" and that started a quick rather lively conversation and I have to say this man was not only hilarious, but genuine and it made my day. In a moment like that, I don't care where my $2 goes.

Our eyes met  :eyelash: and by means of saying 'hey you.. wanna get married' I gave her a slight, however sophisticated, little nod. Fascinatingly she had lots of (light) freckles in her pretty little face and ja, I just want to adore her (now).

But but.. thing is, now that it's 'well into' Autumn, I cannot pick new/fresh ones to replace them with.. since the plant in the garden has dying/yellow leaves on it. Shame.

Um, a substitute semper virens?

Het groene boekje noemt het ook een Weigelia, en de dikke van Dale, 'k zou dat gewoon aanhouden, als ik jou was.

Thinking.. I should buy an 'exercise' book for drawing and collect nice, funny, remarkable, beautiful, inspirational, etc. pictures I find in my newspaper, the magazines I read, folders/prospectuses, what have you..

I already have cut out and 'collected' quite a few but never filed them properly.. they're just here and there and I occasionally bump into them ad random. Such a 'book', where I, via sticky tape, put the pictures would be a good idea, I reckon. Maybe make a comment about them here and there too.

Yep yep.. good idea. I have to search for a present for my niece Charlotte anyway tomorrow and think I'm going to buy me such a literally clean sheeted book (A4 or bigger even) as well.

Any ideas what I should/could purchase for my niece, who turns 11 y/o tomorrow, are welcome, btw.

I've always kept scrapbooks like that. I find them relaxing to look through.

for your Niece..what sorts of things does she like? My neighbours daughter is the same age and I got her a craft kit to make her own scrapbook of pictures with her friends and whatnot. It was a big hit. A photo album, colourful paper, stickers, markers etc. Came all as one kit. Scrapbooking is very popular here.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: lutra on November 21, 2012, 07:31:19 AM
^ Yes, scrapbooks can be fun and relaxing. I was also thinking inspirational.. for a drawing or, who knows, a painting even.. or furniture maybe.

Still haven't bought one though and 'idemly' not something for my niece. Loathe that type of shopping, totally. Especially without s/o's wish-list.

Think scrapbooking is quite popular here also.. it is something she likes doing as well.. and ja, she already has loads of that type of creative stuff. Um, that's part of my problem.. she's quite quite spoiled presents-wise and to come up with something original is kinda making it harder to get a present. Blahiah.. but with Sinterklaas (Dec. 5th) and Christmas coming up she probably will get over 50 presents (incluis birthday) in total. Fartin' madness, imo.

Thanks for the tip though (of course).

It's one thing if my cat catches a mouse and kills it. Or if he chases it into a corner and let's me catch it and its completely alive. But it's a whole new deal if he paralyzes it in the back end and the damn thing is half dead.  :GA:

I couldn't figure out why he kept meowing at me so I finally followed him into the other room and saw the poor thing laying there. He kept nudging it with his nose (and it squeaked in pain) as if to say "How come it won't play with me anymore." To which I responded "he can't play with you because you broke him!!" :P

Bloody commercial messages.

The ads at the start of Youtube videos?  I just started getting them a few days ago; before that, adblock seemed to take care of everything.

Those too. They are EVERYWHERE.

I just figured out how to block the Youtube pre-roll ads.  For Firefox with Adblock Plus, Tools > Add-ons > Adblock Plus Options > Filter Preferences > Custom Filters > Add Filter Group > Add Filter > put ||2mdn.net^ in the input field.

Thinking I should learn myself to make a proper Vietnamese Pho soup. That type of soup prolly suits me fine.

Need to buy some products for it though. Sambal oelek, lemongrass, fish sauce and ja, fresh bean sprouts and a piece of sirloin steak (too).

Today?

  Are there noodles in Pho too?  Some tabloid story once claimed that Angelina Jolie makes Pho for her

Yes yes.. there are noodles in it too. Um, root ginger, garlic, mint, basil, coriander, lime juice.. etc..

Albeit being a sceptical person (um, 88%~94%) myself.. it's not that difficult a soup to make and think probably Angelina can do it.

Going to email her now (we're quite close) and going to ask her to send me her recipe. Could invite her (to show me how to make it) but she's quite busy.. and ja, Bradje prolly won't let her.

I should probably post something coherent so it seems less like I got hacked.

I am fine, folks.  Albeit my conviction that the ADHD meds thing was hilarious (at some point I should explain the logic behind it) may have been somewhat due to a low-grade fever, plus stress/anxiety/being kinda fed up about having my life taken over by doctor's appointments for the last couple of months.  And more caffeine than normal.  And either some little lasting bits of propofol from Thursday (which seems unlikely), else little lasting bits of whatever they used to up my heart rate (which, not knowing what they gave me, I can't comment on the likelihood of).

Is contacting police to find someone a thing that is part of Australian normal behaviour?

If not, I would stay clear of him, he looks too desperate for contact.

I have heard of it being done before, just never thought it would be done for me. The police wouldn't give out information because of privacy laws or something.

This person I speak of and I got along very well years ago. I last saw him shortly before I got married and I thought he no longer wanted contact after that and so left him alone. I honestly don't know why he is contacting me now.

I am thinking about the person who contacted me via Facebook recently. He is someone I used to work with and had a crush on. Apparently he even contacted police trying to locate me but they were no help. He hasn't married but has had two kids. He wants to meet up with me sometime but I don't know if I should.
Is contacting police to find someone a thing that is part of Australian normal behaviour?

If not, I would stay clear of him, he looks too desperate for contact.
I have heard of it being done before, just never thought it would be done for me. The police wouldn't give out information because of privacy laws or something.

This person I speak of and I got along very well years ago. I last saw him shortly before I got married and I thought he no longer wanted contact after that and so left him alone. I honestly don't know why he is contacting me now.
Still sounds a mite creepy.  :/

I think it reaches my waist when I'm in the shower, where it's weighed down by the water and I've run my fingers through it to sort out any tangles.  When it's dry, it curls up and only reaches half-way down my back.  I don't think it'll get any longer; I seem to be at a stable equilibrium with hairs shedding once they're a certain length and being replaced by new ones.

Same. And with my weird arsed circadian rhythms, I'm only ever in bed, or waking up at the strangest times.

And bah...I don't feel like being out of the house and at the docs for 10:40am today. But I need to pick up my meds. And I certainly do not want to be out in this crowseaten frigid icy weather either. 'sblood, I was out in it for less than 5 minutes just now, and my hands had started turning blue-grey its that sodding cold.

I wonder if I buy the cheaper off-the-shelf keratin treatment will any salon put the stuff in for me? Or are they only willing to do the treatments using their own overpriced stuff? (GK, Bhave, Coppola, Brazillian Blowout etc). Salons these days won't even let you BYO store bought hair colour, they make you use theirs :-\

for SCIENCE.  See if cutting off a few inches changes your hair's maximum growth length.

for SCIENCE.  See if cutting off a few inches changes your hair's maximum growth length.

I think the science is settled on that one; maximum hair length is determined by the rate of growth and the length of the follicle's growth cycle.

wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle#Hair-follicle_cycling (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle#Hair-follicle_cycling)

For most people, their hair is likely to be as long as it's ever going to be after a few years of not cutting it; each individual hair only gets to grow for a few years before it gets shed.

The professional dye is less aggressive. And, they have to work with it a lot. That's one of the reasons why they don't let  you bring cheaper stuff. Some people dye their hair themselves, but buy the stuff from their hairsalon, for that reason.

Why the fuck can't I handle the cold weather this year as well as I did before. I've felt so cold today. 'Me' inside stove seems not to work as nicely as it always kinda did. Is my passion for some things a/o hatred for other things slowly decreasing or sutin'? (love or hate are like fuel to mentioned stove, imo)

Cannoli are Sicilian pastry desserts. The singular is cannolo (or in the Sicilian language cannolu), meaning "little tube", with the etymology stemming from the Latin "canna", or reed. Cannoli originated in Sicily and are an essential part of Sicilian cuisine. They are also popular in Italian American cuisine and in the United States are known as a general Italian pastry, while they are specifically Sicilian in origin. In Italy they are commonly known as "cannoli siciliani", Sicilian cannoli.
 
Cannoli consist of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling usually containing ricotta. They range in size from "cannulicchi", no bigger than a finger, to the fist-sized proportions typically found in Piana degli Albanesi, south of Palermo, Sicily.

Mum's macular degeneration has partially reversed itself over the past year.  The optician told her to take red fruit (she's been taking frozen forest fruits each day; a mixture of blackcurrants, cherries, brambles and stuff) and a (not very cheap) antioxidant supplement meant for the purpose, and it seems to have worked.  The optician said that they're now discovering that macular degeneration isn't as irreversible as they once thought.  My uncle has it too, and I think he's managed to halt the deterioration, although he wasn't going to the optician for annual checkups, so the macular degeneration wasn't caught until it was more advanced than in my mum's case, and he has some permanent loss of vision in one eye now.

I'm of several minds, always. I know what waking does to me, I know what happens after a week of sleep deprivation, at least for me, and yet there's no stopping me, no natural instinct that says "FFS". Yet it's not natural to me, not something that must be. It's always something in the way of something else.

And why am I replying in the first place? Because I'm there again.

My worst fear is early-onset Alzheimer's. I was reading about it very recently. Just imagine if one is unlucky enough to have the allele for it, nothing he can do in life to prevent it from ever happening. No amount of physical or mental exercise would reduce its likelihood of happening later in life.

I hardly ever eat bacon, but it's nice on the very rare occasions when I do have it.  I've got 2 microwaves so that I can cook things in multiple parts, doing the meat, veg and potatoes separately.  Having just one microwave is like having a cooker with just one hob; it's not very convenient if you do a lot of microwave cooking.

I like to grill my bacon. It helps drive off a lot of the excess fat.

Although I'll fry it sometimes, when I have fried bacon, its almost exclusively to go with whatever I found on one of my mushroom hunting forays.

Too late in the season now...but that made me think that I could absolutely murder a big plate of fried parasol mushrooms (Macrolepiota procera...just about one of the top very few most delectable wild mushrooms to be had of any I have ever tried...and since I've been foraging for mushrooms since I was about 5-6 yo, I've tried a fair few different kinds to say the least. ) and fried bacon

I don't like crispy bacon.  I enjoy chewing the fat.  I'm going to try a new recipe for making pseudo bacon.  Fry Provolone cheese slices (preferably smoked) in a frying pan on a low heat until brown.  Turn over and cook the other side until brown.

I got very aspie about it for a few months and then got too busy with school.  Never reached a point that qualified as "playing".  Hope I can take it up again sometime.  Now I just do what little I can do as stress relief.

But that's cool though. I just recently started playing the piano again. I gave it up completely for 3 years until the house became my own again. I've been playing for 25 years but I didn't realize how much it calms me and how much I missed it, until I went back to it again.

My playing would also qualify as stress relief. For me, that is. For others the correct term is probably closer to "stress-inducing".

I have three equally nice outfits to wear. The snug red dress is kinda smokin' but my bra cups are a tad higher than the neckline. The other is the same white maxi-dress I wore last year but with a floral corset style peasant top over it. The third is a black strapless dress with a cream peticoat.

And I now just remembered that I have a forth dress :zombiefuck:

We don't usually buy them.  They're inherited.   :eyebrows:

But, all the work done, to keep them clean, and at the right spot, without getting lost, is costly enough.
Trustworthy servants expect a decent pay, nowadays.

Looks like I do get affected. It's just subtle and never triggered as much in my life as in others.

I just want to eat a pound or three of chocolate and curl up in a sugar coma next to a nice guy.  And bang him when I don't feel kinda sick any more.

Unrealistic expectations, wouldn't you say?

I mean, that much chocolate?
Oh I could absolutely eat that much chocolate in one sitting.

Or maybe a coupla these:  (http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/frosting/products/rich-creamy/~/media/Images/SectionImages/Product/Frosting/Milk%20Chocolate/frosting_rich_creamy_milk_chocolate.jpg?mw=116)  They're a pound each.  (OK, I do usually max out at one, but there's a looooot of sugar in them.)

I wish everyone would stop criticising Jimmy Savile.  :grrr:

When I was 8, he fixed it for me to milk a cow blindfolded.
 :orly:

Sorry, it's probably too British.  It refers to a popular TV show that Sir Jimmy Savile used to host called 'Jim'l fix it'  whereby he would make kids dreams come true by arranging for them to meet their favourite band, or go in a hot air balloon or whatever they wrote to him about.

It wasn't the cow that was blindfolded

think about being blindfolded and milking a cow?
bearing in mind 300 women have come forward to say he got them, as kids to play with him.

I know about Jimmy's TV show, in spite of not being British. The fact that I know about it is bothering me, though.

And now, with Jimmy's little adventures on the side being exposed everywhere, I wish I didn't.

She said "prove it" so I said I had to wait a while for the element of surprise. Anyway much later when she forgot our conversation I sat next to her on the couch and was staring at her up and down and I said "you're so pretty" and then said "I believe in keeping it in the family"(Next Friday reference) and started stroking her and leaned in to kiss her and she got up real quickly and said "GO AWAY!" and I said: "scared you, didn't I?

I have an older style name because I was named after a nurse at the hospital where I was born.

I am thinking about something I saw on the news earlier. They were talking about how some kids have been cured of their autism with intensive therapy at a very early age. Like 40 hours per week. They said some kids got rid of their diagnosis completely by the time they were teenagers. I wonder where the cutoff point is - like when is a child too old to be "cured".

I find it hilarious that celiac disease is potentially restricting in Catholicism but not in Pastafarianism, considering the FSM himself is technically made of poison.

Gluten free communion wafers are available.

The physiotherapist said that the injury is in my priformis muscle (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Piriformis_muscle) and that it hurts like a bugger at times because the sciatic nerve runs through that area.  She also said that my psychiatrist was way off base with suggesting it was psychosomatic.

This is useful to know.

Quote from: http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2009/10/22/windows-7-games-compatibility-testing/2
It's worth noting at this point that the version of Windows 7 we're testing on is Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, which includes a new XP-emulation mode for legacy applications. The mode is primarily aimed at businesses and is only compatible with certain processors since it requires Intel Virtualisation Technology or AMD Virtualisation support – ruling out many Intel CPUs like quad-core Q8200 and Q8300, as well as dual-cores like the E7300, E8190 and T5550 on laptops. You can check if yours is supported here. In contrast, all AMD CPUs ship with Virtualisation as standard.

More importantly, XP mode isolates the graphics drivers completely and doesn't allow 3D rendering at all. It is, in other words, completely unsuitable to improving games compatibility.

Tics are back. I think my meds have worn off even though I have been taking them as I should.
Are the tics from the med, Ren, or do they exist on their own?  If you're getting EPS, are your docs addressing this?
The tics exist on their own, I take meds for them. I have been to see the psych about them and he raised my ziprasidone. I am hoping this works. For some reason, though, my psych said that after two months I should go back to the lower dose. I have no idea why.

I'm worried about him.  There is an article in today's paper about male otter's genitalia shrinking.  Scientists are worried that it may lead to reproductive difficulties.  (FYI, his avatar is an otter)

Well, now you mention it, that could give us hope.
It's spring, he may be wooing a female otter.
Let's hope he does take care, when crossing roads and other otter perils.

I wonder what happened to Callaway. :-\

Should we ask Adam to look for her?

Or could she have eloped, with Lutra, he seems to be missing too.  :apondering:

  Now I'm getting nervous, where are they?  :tinfoil:

Now Callaway returned. "Hi Callaway"
But, what happened to Lutra?
Doesn't he live in your neighborhood?  ???

He lives about 200 km away from where I live.

He lives in the south, where Carnaval is taken serious and is loud. He hates it, no surprise there. Have not seen him online since.

I'm worried about him.  There is an article in today's paper about male otter's genitalia shrinking.  Scientists are worried that it may lead to reproductive difficulties.  (FYI, his avatar is an otter)

Thank goodness you decided to include the explanation. :laugh:

About still having the elder's forum, MLA...yes, at the moment. But one thing I think important, is that  the PR be given the same consideration as anybody else at such time as she fits the criteria for elder forum user permissions, making sure not to exclude her so QV has somewhere that can be kept back from the PR.

Simply as a matter of respect.

The Elder's Forum will be years into the PR's future.  She's just mainly happy to be a member and based on the number of  posts she has done, one, we will all be underground before she's eligible.

I'm starting to shop behind the thrift store.  There's not much I can wear, but lots of clothes I can repurpose.

I can't figure out how to properly remove the version we have so I can install the newer one. There's no uninstaller--which was a surprise--and the changes done by it aren't documented the way they should. It's annoying.

Well, there's always   :litigious:

Could it be as simple as installing the new one and disabling the old? Does it have to be removed?

Oh my....

That was one mighty fine breakfast I just had. Took a bit more effort than a bowl of cereal, or what I have been doing lately-slicing up a pound or so of  blue stilton cheese, crackers, and eating.

Just fried up a big panful of mixed shiitake mushrooms and hedgehog fungi, served as the accompaniment to 4 big slices of braising steak, marinated in a mixture of 'devils' hot brown sauce, tabasco habanero sauce, soy, worcestershire and soy sauce, along with some fresh ground pepper and sea salt, brushed with a bit of oil, then braised until chewy, but tender.

Served with ice-cold beer

God damn that was delish. Not sure what I'm going to have for tea, but  I have more shiitake, some oysters, and hedgehog fungus, and some cubed lamb stewing braising steak.

Got some chanterelles too, not C.cibarius, but one of the smaller, narrower, more infundibulate-shaped Cantharellus spp. I forget the name of it. Looking forward to frying those up in butter with those lamb steak chunks, the remaining shiitake and hedgehogs.

That first lot were delish. I'm tired after all the beer that went  into washing that fiery steak (just how it should be, seared on the outside and searing spicy hot). I think I might just go grab a pork pie from the fridge. I'm hungry as hell lately .

We got morels around here. They're fucking awesome on a burger, fried, in some soup, etc.

Mmmm, fish and chips is good food. If we brits have a national dish, I bet fish and chips would win any vote for what the candidate should be.

Thinking, my last appointment with my doc went well yesterday. He had been talking of tapering down or off some of my meds, on the pretty shaky logic that I was on several different ones, which he seemed to think a problem itself. But he wasn't worried about anything with abuse potential, like my pain meds (the oxy 80s) or the anticonvulsant, chlormethiazole, rather, the muscle relaxer I'm taking, tizanidine, and clonidine that I take to stop sensory stuff getting too much, and to stop overloading. Neither of which is any use to anyone with non-medical stuff in mind, all they are, in both cases, as they act the same way, is adrenal suppressant agents, no fun to anyone looking for that.

He didn't do anything though, thankfully, and seemed to be interested and overall positive about the journal papers I brought with me for him to have a look at, all on the use of ultra-low dose naltrexone (an opiate antagonist similar to naloxone/narcan), for rapidly reducing tolerance and preventing it forming in the first place, as well as apparently, the combination of an opioid and the ultra-low level dosing of specific antagonists appears to work for dealing with neuropathic pain.

I'm hoping he will agree to help me trial it, as I really don't need much (its usually dispensed in 50mg units, for other more well known indications, but the dosage levels needed in this use, are from nano- to even picograms per kilo of body weight)

Before anyone gets a free post by asking

I overcooked the minced patties.
The gravy was pretty tasteless.
The veggies were bland (green beans and carrots).
Only the rice was good.

Your post did not state why the rice was good and the rest of the meal sucked. How bad was the meal? Was it bad enough that Somalis or dogs would turn it down? How did you manage to cook the rice properly but not the green beans and carrots?  :police:

It was bad enough that I should have left the cooking to Lady Weeble.

why the rice was good - I'm from Louisiana, cooking good rice is an inherited trait.
the rest of the meal sucked - I was lazy
Was it bad enough that Somalis or dogs would turn it down? - No, but I'm debating about seeing War Witch
How did you manage to cook the rice properly - See above
the green beans and carrots? - just mixed them together and put margarine on them.

BTW - she only finished paying for it in January.  I'm not sure it will work after being bumped and dragged.  She has offered to sell it to me.  Maybe I should take her up on it if it works.  IDK

Thinking about what the hell to do with the steps on the one side of the house, do I do away with them all together, build a fucking pondless waterfall in their place, or try and rebuild?

Arggh.

  Water features tend to attract insects, which in turn attract spiders.  Just sayin'.   :hide:

Since StoneCold locked his thread, I'm bringing this post here because it is what I was thinking when I read it there.  Sg1008 posted

The bears who do attack people are usually those who have their territories infringed upon by human activity, and who (through experience with people) learn not to be afraid of people; so when they see people (at a camp site, or somewhere where garbage and food are left around) they may become territorial.

Do you have any tips on how to tell the difference besides you're bleeding to death from the attacking bear?

I normally avoid these things like the plague. :GA:

She really needs the gifts though, friend of my son's, she used to come over to the house when she was 8 until we moved. She's 17 now, staying with her grandfather to help him out since he's on dialysis and since her mother got remarried to an idiot.  :P

Not a real woman, when it comes to that. Though I now can appreciate small amounts of that colour. Took me to be forty before I could do that. Was very lucky with my girls. My oldest never had a pink stage in her life, my youngest only for a very short time.

I did always like the pink of the Prunus serrulata though. We had it in the garden when I was a kid. It was an awesome climbing three.

Newtown Police Find 300 Gallons of Urine in Home

Police are trying to figure out exactly how to handle one man’s truly wasteful collection after 300 gallons of bottled urine were discovered inside a residential home.

According to the News-Times, Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) spokesman Dennis Schain said authorities found “200 to 300 one-gallon plastic jugs filled with human urine" during a search of the man’s home in Watertown, Connecticut.

Police have declined to publicly release the man’s name, as he has not yet been formally charged with a crime.

"An environmental contractor ... was brought into help deal with this under our supervision," Schain told the paper, saying DEEP authorities were called in to assess what he described as a home "in a state of disrepair."

Despite the disturbing and unusual nature of the urine collection, Schain said it’s unlikely authorities will actually charge the man with a crime. He’s not the first person to store his own urine, with these cases often tied to mental illness. For example, Howard Hughes famously stored his own urine after retreating to Las Vegas. The actor James Franco even admitted to bottling his own urine, though that was part of a youthful prank.

In the meantime, the urine is schedule to be taken to a waste treatment plant for proper disposal.

 I am obviously thinking weird news stories

Call it the Treaty of Everest 2013.

It's a two-paragraph agreement, in both English and Nepalese, signed by climbers and Sherpas who on Saturday engaged in a donnybrook at 23,000 feet.

Punches, kicks and even rocks were thrown, according to a statement posted Sunday on the website of one of the climbers, Simone Moro.

The Sherpas, locals who guide expeditions up the world's highest mountain, apparently became angered when the climbers from Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom did not listen to instructions from the Sherpas, moved above them on the peak and dislodged ice that fell in the direction of the Sherpas.

At one point "the climbers ... were told that if they weren't gone in one hour that they would all be killed," the statement said.

But by Tuesday, both sides agreed to climb nice and put it in writing.

"Both parties have realized their errors and apologized to each other in front of those present," says handwritten note obtained by CNN from the Nepal Mountaineering Association. "Both parties agreed to help each other in the future to make successful each others goals."

The agreement bears at least 28 signatures, though some appear to have been repeated. No matter the exact number, their resolve against conflict seems certain.

"All those present agreed and committed that such activities by anyone in the mountaineering and in the tourism sector," it says.

So maybe that will end what one post on Adventure Journal's website described as "an inauspicious start to the spring climbing season on Mt. Everest."

In another post, a guide said mistakes were probably made on both sides.

"Everest is a mountain where people pour an incredible amount of passion and money into their efforts. This is true for professional and recreational climbers, and for Sherpa who earn most or all of their family's annual income in these two months on the mountain," guide Adrian Ballinger wrote.

"The constant pressure to break records, attempt new routes, and be the strongest, whether for personal pride, sponsors, future job offers, or media, can cloud the purity of our climbing here. And these pressures can lead to disagreements, arguments, and hurt feelings. But none of these pressures should be allowed to lead to violence, or to breaking the essential bonds that tie climbers to each other," Ballinger added.

But one of the climbers involved in the incident who signed the agreement told Britain's Telegraph newspaper that money has changed the Everest experience and spawned resentment among Sherpas.

"They're angry at this financial gap on their mountain," Jonathan Griffith said of the Sherpas. "These commercial trips are based on a lot of luxury and getting you up the mountain and a lot of these Western clients don't even know what the names of their Sherpas are."

And that, he says, makes him wonder if he'll try Everest again, the Telegraph reported.

"I didn't think the main danger would be a mob of Sherpas throwing rocks," Griffith is quoted as saying.

 :apondering:

Proper disposal, wouldn't that be emptying the bottles in the toilet, all of them, and then one flush?
Close bottles, they belong with the trash.

Maybe I see it too simple. But, would not know why this can't be.





Having a dozen of people in white hazard suits with gas-masks deal with it is more dramatic and costly, of course.  :chores: :chores: :chores:




Not knowing why the name of the man needs to be released either. If he had a lid on his bottles, it was all safe enough.

Was thinking of putting my tomato plants in the earth (garden) today.. but but.. rule of thumb here (guideline for Holland), is: best to wait till after the Ice Saints (May 11-15) to put plants, vulnerable for frost like tomato plants are, into the soil. Chances they get screwed by said frost are slim that way.

So.. I'll have to wait till after next weekend.. I suppose.

When they published The Joy of Sex they originally used photos to illustrate the book when editing it. They actually intended to use drawings, and thought the photos would make the drawings more acceptable.  I wonder what happened to those photos?

Was thinking of putting my tomato plants in the earth (garden) today.. but but.. rule of thumb here (guideline for Holland), is: best to wait till after the Ice Saints (May 11-15) to put plants, vulnerable for frost like tomato plants are, into the soil. Chances they get screwed by said frost are slim that way.

So.. I'll have to wait till after next weekend.. I suppose.

Um, couldn't wait.. 'earthed' them two hour ago.

Well, looked at a couple of weather forecasts and I'll think they're save.

Some of it can be avoided by putting cotton balls in your ears when shampooing.  The suds don't always rinse out of the ear.

Jewish teachings on humility rock.   :headbang2:



Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks states that in Judaism humility is an appreciation of oneself, one's talents, skills, and virtues. It is not meekness or self deprecating thought, but the effacing of oneself to something higher. Humility is not to think lowly of oneself, but to appreciate the self one has received. In recognition of the mysteries and complexities of life, one becomes humbled to the awesomeness one is and what one can achieve.

Rabbi Pini Dunner discusses that humility is to place others first; it is to appreciate others' worth as important. In recognizing our worth as people, Rabbi Dunner shows that looking into the zillions of stars in the sky, and in the length and history of time, you and I are insignificant, like dust. Rabbi Dunner states that Moses wrote in the Torah, "And Moses was exceedingly humble, more than any man on the face of the earth." How is it possible to be humble and write you are the most humble? The conclusion is that Moses knew he was humble. It is not in denying your talents and gifts but to recognize them and live up to your worth and something greater. It is in the service to others that is the greatest form of humility.

Markdowns are even better.  I picked up some tortilla boxes (tortillas, seasoning and sauce mixes) - 74 cents and some refried beans - 42 cents.  Added some leftover chicken meat and had a super cheap meal and 3 tortillas left over.

I didn't know there was different types of sales. I like a dish called goolosh, its basically everything thrown into a pot and cooked.
Is it healthy? probably not. but it sure does taste great, yum.

  by lightning.  Then the hospital staff started to hear reports of tornado sightings.  People were shocked and disbelieving.
  Then the casualties started coming in.  My mother worked for hours till her nursing supervisor sent her home to rest,
  but she was too upset to sleep, so she went back to the hospital to help out some more.

PA is quite fond of them.  I try to manage our food budget so we can have them about once a week or so.  These were found in the freeze when I was clearing some old stuff out.  We still have 2 pounds of fresh in the refrigerator.  I'm thinking of a salad of some sort, hmmmm.

There's one in Houston.  And cake too, but I only remember pies.

  "Wichita Lineman"  is one of the first songs I remember hearing on the radio as a child.
  It made a huge impression on me, when I hear it I can remember being a preschooler.  So long ago!  :apondering:
You were probably cute then. What happened?  :hahaha:

One of my green Tourmalines is either Chrome (which is misleading, as vanadium is more than likely the color agent) Or Copper bearing. And if so, I just hit the jackpot!

I bet the first year in prison seems like ten.  But the tent year seems like two and the twentieth year seems like just one.

I bet time flies, even when you aren't having fun. Rather, time flies when you are accustomed.
That's actually about what I've heard.

Though, I think it depends on what's going on- upcoming court dates, if awaiting trial.  Parole hearings if past trial.  Anniversaries.  They probably effect it.

Well. regular tourmaline sells for about (if its good) $40-110 dollars for a nice 4-5 cter. If however you have a Tourmaline that is "Chrome" that same stone is a couple thousand dollars leaning heavily 'twords 6k

I'm seriously considering not going to birthday parties at my sister's place any more. I'm starting to hate those parties more and more so. Generally I try not to use my hyperacusis as an excuse but their living room is like total hell for me when it's crowded with people. The amount of noise of folks chit chatting loudly (in order to be heard over the other voices talking) is undoable to take for me. I'm not a very talkative person normally but that room makes go almost completely silent.

On the one hand.. ja, I really want to quit going there when others are invited also.. for ja, read above, I frikkin' hate it there.. but on the other hand.. these are birthdays of young kiddos. Me not showing up at theirs, which I have done before, doesn't feel right. I love them.. and they love me too.. and uncles should go to b.d. parties of the children of their sister (-s/brother(-s)), right?

Mentioned this to my mother this afternoon (at my nephew's party/he turned 10 years old) and she said; 'do it for the kiddos, C.' 'Just do it for them.' Mmmm, this is becoming, more and more so, a dilemma.

I don't want to be the uncle that these (three) kids only quite rarely see and, he who, never visit their birthday parties any more. There's almost no middle ground to tread here, is there? Think I should talk to my sister about this, soon.

^ I hate  rooms full of people too. 

In your shoes i  would make a brief appearance and make sure to  make a B line for the birthday kid.  I would offer to take them to the park the next day or day after  to get some 'quality' time together.  I don't think you should fuss too much about what the adults think, as long as you and the kid are kushdie. 

You sound like a really cool uncle.  :thumbup:

In reply to Bodie, this.... sorry CBC, not ignoring you but doubly replying (in one post) fucks my posts up beyond.. something.

~

Don't mind much what other adults think, no (that could be basically the core bugger of my deviation, I sometimes think).. but my sister's opinion I value and my nephew and nieces (not expressed, btw) also.

Your pro-tip is a good one (short appearance/compensating it with fun time with them/outside of the birthday party scenario) and in a way I'm doing that already. Well, not that often. Should do that more often so, I'm thinking now.

Um, longer Summertime's holiday is about to start here.. could invited birthday boy J. to go fishing with me soon. Or do something else outdoors together. He's afraid of quite a few animals (so unnecessarily so) and that might help (me lacking that almost completely) him a tadski, maybe/like indirectly, too.

Yes, thank you, Bodie.. that's a good way to go.. and I think I can be a cool uncle, indeed.

Three Possum Recipes


Possum and Taters

Ingredients:
1 young, fat possum
8 sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
salt

Directions: First, catch a possum. This in itself is excellent entertainment on a moonlight night. Skin the possum and remove the head and feet. Be sure to wash it thoroughly. Freeze overnight either outside or in a refrigerator. When ready to cook, peel the potatoes and boil them tender in lightly salted water along with the butter and sugar. At the same time, stew the possum tender in a tightly covered pan with a little water. Arrange the taters around the possum, strip with bacon, sprinkle with thyme or marjoram, or pepper, and brown in the oven. Baste often with the drippings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stuffed Possum

1 possum (whole)
1 qt. cold water
1/8 cup salt
5 beef bouillon cubes
2 bay leaves
3 celery stalks (chopped)
2 onions (sliced)
1 bag packaged stuffing

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Soak possum in cold salt water for 10 hours. Rinse meat in cold water and refrigerate 2-4 hours. Prepare stuffing according to package directions. Stuff possum cavity with prepared packaged stuffing. Close cavity tightly. Place stuffed possum in roasting pan, add water, bouillon cubes, bay leaves, celery and onion. After 2 hours turn meat. Reduce heat to 300 degrees. Cook for 1 more hour. Test roast, if not done reduce heat and cook until done.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cajun Possum Chili - NUCLEAR HOT !!!

Ingredients:
Tomatoe Sauce (depends on possum)
1 tsp.-1 cup Chili Powder (Depends on Taste and possum)
1 Large possum or 3 small (If you ran over the possum better make it 4)
1 large pot or two large ones if the first isn't enough.
5-10 chili peppers (depends on taste and possum)
5-10 red peppers (depends on taste and possum)
5-10 jalapenio peppers (depends on taste and possum)
How ever much Cayenne Pepper you like, it depends on your taste and possum.
1 tsp. Black Pepper
a pinch of salt
Chili Beans for extra flavor
And whatever other ingredients that are hot and spicy you would like to add.

Directions:
1. Skin possum(s)
2. Remove internal organs, head, claws, and bones. There is no flavor or use for these. But if you want to add them, Go ahead.
3. Put some tomatoe sauce in the pot(s). Then add the possum.
4. Chop peppers
5. Skip step four if you don't want chopped peppers; it doesn't matter.
6. Put the rest in and let set for a long dang while.
7. Before serving make sure you have enough bread, Milk, and Toliet paper for after dinner.
8. Serve. Enjoy
9. Race for bathroom. Whoever is first will make a large stench. Have enough air freshner.
Serving size of Meal-depends on how much you put in and on the possum.

Warning-You're a redneck if you try this. (Either that or you like really hot chili.) May cause sudden urges to go to the bathroom. May cause burned tongues and mouths. May cause severe indigestion!! ---Anonymous

Dont have a couch

All I do is walk and stand on it

Dont use it for anything else

See now how superior Latin is? In Latin it would be Illae puellae...habent... in the nominative. I don't know what "road signs" is in Latin, but it would be in the accusative.

You can donate them to a homeless shelter.  Socks and shoes are a big deal if you're homeless in the middle of winter, depending on the climate.

Or....sock puppets?

There are bzzzzz's for the neck. My mother bought one. I tried it on several strained muscles. It actually worked a bit. Her massage thingy gives infra red warmth with the bzzzzz too.

Damn, that's good advice.

Dear Mary: I try to save some money out of every paycheck but life happens and I spend whatever is necessary on whatever emergency arises. My problem is that if there is any money left over, I feel compelled to spend it on myself. All of the arguments my husband and I have are over money. Because I make more than he does, he thinks I should pay all of the bills. I’m resentful, which also makes me want to spend money.

Please do not suggest that I talk to my husband because if we start talking about money we will end up in a huge fight, and I give him the silent treatment for days. I am embarrassed about my behavior concerning money but I do not know how to change, especially when I do not have any support from my husband. I am seriously considering a divorce. —Jo, Tennessee



Dear Jo: If I am not allowed to suggest that you talk to your husband, let me just go ahead and suggest that you divorce him now. That’s going to happen anyway, so why drag it out?

There is no help for someone like you who has her mind made up and her heels dug in, insisting that she will not do the very thing she knows that she must.

I'm not sure what sort of advice she expected to receive.  It sounds like she had it worked out already.  Validation, perhaps? A pat on the back and a, "It is OK, you're only human?" 

I find it interesting that people can justify the most heinous behaviors based on the approval of others. 

On second though, "interesting" isn't the right word.  I think "horrifying" is more appropriate.

People are idiots. And there is never enough Darwin to go around either :P

Thinking 'mm...having a pretty good time on the AMT, come up fully, 50mg per os, and a further  20 intranasally a few hours in. Tripping pretty hard, although theres a fair bit of jaw clenching, I really need some gum. Pretty speedy, but not unexpected from AMT, being the indole analog of amphetamine. I've had it before a fair few times, its a firm ally of mine, helped me reach some contemplative states that I could work on, and more or less rid myself of my PTSD in, whilst going on long, solo hikes in the woods to pick wild mushrooms.   A pot of opium poppy pod tea helped smoothe things out though, I think I'll have a cup of lemon balm tea too (a mild, but effective relaxant....and as tasty as pod tea is disgusting.

Seriously.....it makes me gag every time. Only way I can get it down me (inside, as opposed to poured down self on the outside :P) is to hold my nose, supersaturate the tea with sugar whilst hot, and then neck it in one big, stomach-churningly hideous gulp, then chase it down with soda, lots and lots of it, and then fill my mouth with mints after, to chase away that hideous smell and taste.

Theres nothing quite like it, and it really is atrocious tasting, the smell, though is what gets me, thats the worst thing about it. Its like a suckerpunch in the guts.  Had to move the empty pot, as it was making me nauseous just sitting on my computer desk. Going to stick it in the lab with the window open for now.



Ohh...that reminds me...I clean fucking forgot about my iodine monochloride experiment, I feel like getting something interesting and productive done today. Just need to find some thin tubing that isn't ripped a bucketfull of new arseholes by chlorine gas. Its really, really really aggressive stuff to rubber or latex tubing, turns it cloudy and perishes it very quickly. Although I only need it to survive a few transfers from a large capacity syringe into the vial containing the iodine.

Isn't a nation like India nothing less than the 'sperger's hell, I'm thinking now. Almost everything urban looks totally messy, ad random, and noisy as well, there.

That's not a 'place' I would like to visit.

Perhaps it was the humans who were out of sync with you. It is hard for them to understand the ways in which we react to things. 

So while they're going like this:

We might be going like this:

Which makes them go like this:

As we continue to go like this:

And, being in the minority, the burden of integrating into human society is shouldered by us.  If we finally catch on to what they mean by looking like  :aff: when we go  :autism:, we go  :fp: because we've fucked up yet again.

I have huge bags of fresh tomatoes, carrots, sweet peppers, cucumbers and hot peppers just picked from my garden, today.

When my local merchant opens his store,  I am going to take about a third of them to him for his table or his kitchen or to sell from his shelves if he wants.

I am just pleased that a small time individual person can still run a store these days. Instead of offering him a tip or a gratuity, I keep on thanking him for his store by showing him the best appreciation I can.

I just think it is amazing that I can still walk to a local store and buy bread or milk or ketchup or mayo or spices or ...   ...   ...     Just do not tell anyone I know.

I want his store to live forever!

^ Your posts makes me think that I will be without a local bakery within five years. No one will take over that shop, after the man who runs it now will retire. Alas. Shops like his are a need in a small village.

We'll still have some other shops, that is, if people will keep buying things in their own place, instead of all racing off to the bigger and cheaper shops in nearby towns.

His store IS!!

... and thanks.

My garden grows way more than we can eat. I always like to watch when I offer random people fresh bounty for no gain. 

Actually, that is not true ... I gain from the growing of fresh fruits and vegetables and enjoying watching how my tiny patch of productive soil gets better every year and also from the sharing. While I am not all that religious, I DO believe in my own interpretation of some of what a balance of kharma can bring to us.

I have my needs well met and enough left over to make a few others smile.

Your bodies adjust....

Just concentrate on three things:
-protein
-carbohydrates
-dairy

Mix and match.

You can fit antioxidants in by way of sauces, jellies, and cheap fruits.
Canned veggies work wonders.

Don't eat out.

Yesterday I did something that scared the blackbird family away from my garden, I'm afraid. A cat came into the garden and was about to jump and catch the tailless youngster of the T. merula couple and I shoot out of my chair and chased the cat away just in time.

I stamped my feet, given the cat the idea he really was not welcome here, and I yelled something like, 'get the fuck out of here!'. Well, that worked but.. ja, it was also 'experienced' by (at least) the male bird and one of his youngsters.

Um, probably the kiddo is now scared shitless of me and will not return soon. Parent birds will follow their kiddos and 'just' try to raise them elsewhere. There where the kiddo decides to go, really.

Shame. I had quite a good bonding with the little creatures. Pavlovian, in a way.. with me whistling a simple tune and they knowing that there's a bit of finely chopped up food on the ground.

Hmmm, hope I can fix this cos they're not here now. Which ja, is unusual.

Instead of seeing dead people, I see dumb people.  :autism:

That is a very funny meme, using "stupid people"  instead, but I can not seem to find it right now.

"I see stupid people."

... makes a very entertaining post when it is warranted.

Learning how a poor family can eat nutritiously without much work.  This should be interesting.

Your bodies adjust....

Just concentrate on three things:
-protein
-carbohydrates
-dairy

Mix and match.

You can fit antioxidants in by way of sauces, jellies, and cheap fruits.
Canned veggies work wonders.

Don't eat out.

After 28 1/2 years of marriage, I'm about out of "cooking ideas".  We are now on a low salt diet and lower calorie diet (health issues) and I'm just tired of mixing and matching.  It's just a temporary thing since I enjoy making soups, but PA won't eat soups in hot weather.  Come fall I'll be in a more creative mood.

Pumpkin isn't really a New Orleans vegetable.  We do pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and that's about it.  I do have some cans of pumpkin I need to use up.  Probably make a sweet bread with it.

Coming up on some pod tea, and wondering who the fuck wrote a song, by the title 'snow fell'

I've heard two versions of it, one by prussian blue, one by skrewdriver. Prussian blue certainly didn't  write it, they can't have, seeing how the two (former) singers were in their very young teens at the time, and skrewdriver are/were all grizzled old shitheads.

Its just I can't see skrewdriver writing it, as its one of about 3 decent songs they ever recorded, the band blows, their politics suck, and a few of their members/ex members probably swallow for good measure. Its all white power skinhead punk/rock and not very GOOD white power skinhead punk rock at that, for the most part, their vocalist has a singing voice like a bag of half starved cats being given a red hot, acidic weasel enema.

But whoever wrote the track in the first place seems to have some talent for it at least, something I wouldn't expect from skrewdriver's lead, if he were tied to a post and told the alternative would be getting flayed to within a picometer of dying, with a sock full of his own frozen shit.

^ Your posts makes me think that I will be without a local bakery within five years. No one will take over that shop, after the man who runs it now will retire. Alas. Shops like his are a need in a small village.

We'll still have some other shops, that is, if people will keep buying things in their own place, instead of all racing off to the bigger and cheaper shops in nearby towns.

I just hope that your world has not gone totally advertisement crazy.  I love this guy and his family because he is doing this the right way, not just sucking up and selling out to the big name grocers.

I buy as much from him as I can.

If there is one thing this shopkeeper can't do, it is sucking up and selling out to the big guys.
I do get the bulk of the things I need from my own village. I highly value having shops in a community this small. There are quite a few things I just cannot get in this village though. So, I do get groceries from elsewhere too.

I want my morning shot badly. Not going without though, I am fine, got some oxy :)

Just got to cook up and slam it up...yummy.

1,3..,3...ahhhhhhhhh thats much better...all wrapped in cotton wool that gives out kanner's autistic-suitable affectionate cotton wool hugs lol.

And a few cups of tea too. Just made 2 cups each of an absolutely delicious blend by the name of lady grey. I'm not quite so fond of earl grey, but lady grey is lovely, especially sweetened with honey, and with a wee handful of freshly picked young lemon balm shoots, served of course without milk (EW! I absolutely cannot abide coffee or tea with milk; it just ruins the delicate flavors of a fine tea or blend, it really does; IMO might as well serve up a mug of hot, steaming dog piss as a brew contaminated with moo-juice)

The other was a blend with rose extract and rose petals, smells really fragrant, like proper roses do, again, just brewed up two hot, steaming, black brews, and drank all four within the space of about five minutes.


Also thinking, that I really need to give my stalker a call when its time she will be awake and about. Anyone know the time difference between GMT london and montana?

Fuck, I miss her. She is a very, very rare, unique, special and my god, absolutely stunningly beautiful woman. Getting close to 50 now, but she doesn't look it at all. One look from those hazel eyes, and I just melt; go weak at the knees and get butterflies in my stomach. She really is the most GORGEOUS young lady I have ever, ever had the good fortune to be permitted to look upon; and aside from that, she is not just my most trusted, valued confidant and friend, but also family to me. She may be my stalker, and has no genetic relationship with me, but nevertheless I count her amongst my blood family. And...well....she just has that effect on me, that  if I get an email from her, or hear her voice, the rest of the day and next day I'll be walking around with a great big grin on my face, feeling like a million quid :) And on the phone....heh, I find her voice and accent unbefuckinglievably sexy.

Known her for a good few years now, and not one single, tiny thing has changed that way, her voice, her eyes, her pretty smile and her tiger's soul, the way she is driven, courageous to a truly amazing degree and never gives up, never shrinks away in fear,never bacls down and will not slink away and hide in the face of adversity. A  strong, tough woman, with the soul of a bengal tiger in teh body of an exotic and very beautiful tropical bird of paradise.

Yet she is not full of herself. She knows full well she is one fucking smart, tough lil cookie, although doesn't seem to realize that what I told her about her figure, body, face, general looks all over, she won't admit that she could probably take any man or lady for her own (as I belong to her, mind, body, heart, soul if they exist, the motherfucking full works) with a mere glance and the ghost of a quirked up upper lip in a smile. Although I actually did not know what she looked like when we first talked over at AFF, I fell arse over tit for her before I had any idea what she looked like. All I knew was that she, was a 'she', she comes from montana in the middle of nowhere, very aloof and detached, and that she was, at the time, I think, 46 if I remember rightly.

If the phrase 'drop dead gorgeous' were literally accurate, then she would be a highly effective weapon of mass destruction :D

We are just broadcasting  on a very similar wavelength so to speak, she is one of only two people, as long as I have ever lived, with whom I have ever just 'clicked' with, the other being a lass called cazzie, younger than I am rather than nearly twice my age, again, it did not take long at all there.  Met cazz at a paintball game arranged by this local manchester group called aspirations, for speshul people...this kanner's autie goth girl, curvy, kinda tiny, not very tall at all, 5 something I'd guess.; and dead pretty. SHE was not in the slightest inhibited or shy about letting me know she wanted me, and was for that matter; going to TAKE me. I don't think she would actually jave given me a choice in anything that ways, she would just take me, and that, mister, is bloody well that!

MAJOR trekkie, wrote really filthy fan fic; had the hots for deanna troi (TNG), wrote fan fuckfick involving troi banging riker; and she shouldn't even have known about some of that stuff at her age, but she did, and was a pretty good writer too.

When we met, she did indeed just take me. Shoved me up against a tree at paintball gunpoint, pulled my mask away and proceeded to start playing tonsil-tennis. Then after we had spent some time in that delightful embrace, she told me her name, we swapped phone numbers, etc.  then went to arrange a meet up very soon after. Not long after that, we were engaged.

I was with someone at the time, in an awful, shitty relationship I wanted out of, so I left the girl (NT, and not very nice. A whiny clingy, jealous brat, with a face like a pitbull's arse after it just had its bollocks slapped with nettles, and a voice that can only be described as whay you would get if you were to try and play a severely out of tune violin with rusty strings, using a bow strung with a length of rotting cobra hide, and a fork factory-worth's lot of forks, simultaneously drawn down a thousand blackboards)

So I left her, I wanted to anyway, but cazzie reached out to me and rescued me; in a manner of speaking.




As for plants and radiation, etc. Well I am not totally sure, but almost certainly in some cases, although weather its fruit or not I do not know. Some plant species have specific affinities for uptake of certain elements from the soil they grow in, such as for instance, barium, arsenic, cadmium, and others. Indeed some of these hyperaccumulators have been used for bioremediation of contaminated land. Basic premise is that rapidly growing hyperaccumulators are planted in the area in question, and proceed to leach out these elements for which they have the specially great affinities, the plants are allowed to grow, suck up the contaminating elements and then are pulled up, and either burnt, extracted potentially if the material is valuable and the scale suitable to make it worthwhile.

An example of other plants uptaking (not nescessarily radioactive) other contaminating or toxic elements:

Locoweeds, of which there are a great many, in several different genera, mainly Astragalus and some vetches, contain a varying mixtire of really viciously poisonous (some contain swainsonine, an alkaloid which acts to induce an artificial lysosomal storage disease, from which those poisoned, do not recover if the exposure is great. The damage is permanent)

But some of them bioaccumulate selenium to such levels that they can cause selenium poisoningin livestock.
Bacopa monnieri (Brahmi, an indian plant used as an ayurvedic remedy) can hyperaccumulate lead.

Thanks CBC. I know roughly when shes around, evening ish my time to early night (like 1-2am) but I wanted to know what the difference was so I could more accurately figure when to call her delightful, snugglesome self.



Eclair-she is.

Mein gott, am I ever completely fucking batshit crazy about this particular lady..just...wow. Truly amazing woman in every single possible respect. Highly intelligent, funny, always interesting to talk with, classically autistic, aloof in that classic autism type way, which I find incredibly sexy. Shes brutally honest, an admirable trait, I sooner people tell me a truth I do not like, than a lie to sweeten the bitter pill that must be swallowed nevertheless. Heretic returns the great respect  I have for her and will do that for me. She  respects me and cares for me, in her own unique ways; and for that, I truly do feel as though I am the luckiest man alive:)

In some ways, I feel almost rich, because she enriches my life just by deigning to be in it in any way, shape. I could be (and am at the moment...THANKS a septic bollock-boil-pus-slurping, cuntriddled pack of officious penpushing muslim-shagging ratmasturbators for leaving me with less than £100 A MONTH to eat, clothe myself, transport, and to outfit and stock my lab....need a new vacuum pump, and a high end one at that, something like a turbomolecular pump with liquid nitrogen traps,  backed up by twin-linked roughing pumps of the brayton-cycle fridge compressor autopsy results pressganged into serving as roughing pumps for the good ship cyclotron)

But even whilst in penury, whilst I wait for the appeal process to be over the fuck with, I still feel rich in life, because I live in the same world that Heretic does. And a world without heretic, would be a shitty place I would not wish to live in. Just featureless, dull, grey, flat expanse of hollow, joyless emptiness.

I am no stalker. And heretic, well, she is, as I said, brutally honest and completely up front about things so she just came out with that and politely informed me that I was from henceforth, her stalk-ee (I.e the stalkER's 'victim')

Although I certainly do not see myself as a victim at all, Lol. Not in the slightest. And if I am, the more she victimizes me the better. I certainly, just hearing her voice is enough to make my entire, whole week :D

"I was walking through the park last night and one guy threw sodium chloride on me and another covered me in sulphuric acid.

It was terrible. I didn't know how to react."

I saw this, and I had to comment.  I didn't know either, but I found this on wikipedia

Quote
It reacts with sodium chloride, and gives hydrogen chloride gas and sodium bisulfate:

    NaCl + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HCl

So there you go.  I had a thought that it might set up a buffer solution, even though the salt and the acid have different conjugate bases, but I guess not.  I think the conjugates do have to be the same.  Forgive me, titration was not my strong point last semester!

By the way, in the unlikely event that that does happen to you, try not to breathe the HCl.

"I was walking through the park last night and one guy threw sodium chloride on me and another covered me in sulphuric acid.

It was terrible. I didn't know how to react."

I saw this, and I had to comment.  I didn't know either, but I found this on wikipedia

Quote
It reacts with sodium chloride, and gives hydrogen chloride gas and sodium bisulfate:

    NaCl + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HCl

So there you go.  I had a thought that it might set up a buffer solution, even though the salt and the acid have different conjugate bases, but I guess not.  I think the conjugates do have to be the same.  Forgive me, titration was not my strong point last semester!

Sodium bisulfate is useful.

Both NaHSO4 and HCl are acidic in solution.

Bisulfate makes a damn good start point for tear gas too, just heat with glycerine, and distill off the acrolein produced.

Fuck damn, that stuff is pure evil on the eyes and respiratory tract. Made the mistake of pouring a test tube containing a small quantity down the sink and flushing it with hot water once. Oops...it vaporised quite a lot, which came back up the plug hole as fumes and sent me running for the hills :D

I am no stalker. And heretic, well, she is, as I said, brutally honest and completely up front about things so she just came out with that and politely informed me that I was from henceforth, her stalk-ee (I.e the stalkER's 'victim')

Although I certainly do not see myself as a victim at all, Lol. Not in the slightest. And if I am, the more she victimizes me the better. I certainly, just hearing her voice is enough to make my entire, whole week :D

Based on your posts, it would seem that this Stalker is not a person, but the drugs themselves that stalk and consume you.

Last time I chatted with her, she is human, and a sensible one too. I do like her.

I'm thinking about cutting the top off my marijuana plant on the balcony. It's a shame because the top (on the central stem) tends to make the biggest bud on the plant. They can be colossal.

But ja.. the plant is already p/m 20 cms taller than the balcony's 'balustrade' and the top of said plant is in view for neighbours/others to be seen. Don't give two farts (or three) what they might think, seeing the plant standing there, but it might entail some sort of risk.

Dunno exactly, now. Pressing is part of the process, I know.. butz..

Oh, and I don't use hashish myself. I just use the dried bud, or flower, of the plant and take tiny amounts of it and put that in my self rolled spliffert.

Um, here's some dude making the stuff himself. With a 'smart' sieve and a small pressing device. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Male flowers, female flowers, plenty of plants have them.

Some plants only have female flowers or male flowers, with cannabis that often is the case, though there are cannabis plants that have both female and male flowers too. You don't want sex to happen if you grow the plant for its elevating effect. And since the female plant produces better than the male, you kill the male plants.  :bounce:

Pumpkins have male and female flowers too. You do want pumpkinflowers to have sex, if you grow the plant to make you nice pumkins. With pumpkins it is not rare that people help the plant out to have effective sex.

Hamilton, OH: When Edwin Tobergta got out of jail for having sex with a pool raft, he was pumped. So was the pool raft, apparently, because Tobergta was arrested again for having sex with the same pool raft.

Tobergta’s wet and wild trysts first made a splash in 2011 when the then-32-year-old was caught getting freaky with his neighbor’s pink, inflatable raft in an Ohio alleyway. The neighbor called police to report that Tobergta was on top of the floatational device with his pants “down around his ankles.” The suspect fled — with the raft — and was arrested a short time later.

Today, Tobergta was indicted by a Butler County grand jury after a child witnessed him last month stepping out his back door, naked, then having “sexual relations with a rubber pool float,” police told WHIO. The same “rubber pool float” he’d de-felated in 2011.

He’s been arrested at least five times in the past for similar offenses, including a July 2008 conviction for felony public indecency.

Well, at least he's faithful.

It's very good, basically cornmeal with some additions... my mom used to make it with sausage & bacon, used to fry it and eat w/a sprinkle of brown sugar. Think I might have a recipe still, will hunt when I get a chance.

Lol when I mentioned my wanting to build this to my old man, he was like 'what would you do with it/why would you want a particle accelerator'


Seriously....LMAO! who on earth WOULDN'T want their very own particle accelerator. X-ray generation, nuclear transmutation, generating very high energy proton/deuteron/triton/antiproton/electron/positron/neutron beams....perhaps electron beam welding, pumping plasmas (I would just LOVE to try one day, to build a spheromak reactor) for instance.

What would happen if you drilled a hole in someone's skull and poured bleach in the opening?  Would the person feel it?  I've been told the brain has no brain sensors.  I'm also pondering what would happen medically.

I'd like cbc to make me a Boston Cream Pie.

  I've never made one of those, but I do know how to make a nice carrot cake.  :)
Carrot cake is good but what kind of Masshole can't make a Boston Cream Pie?  :zombiefuck: :thumbdn: :hahaha:

I want something to smoke. And I don't mean the bag of rolling baccy I have in my pocket.

Going to go to the headshop in town and get something, as well as some methiopropamine (thienyl analog of meth, where the benzene ring is replaced by a similar ring containing a sulfur atom) and see if they have any n-ethyl-5-APB yet.

Thank you.  Everyone turned out to be healthy as can be expected. 

I received a tearful call from the PR while we were at PA's test.  She'd  taken the parakeet out the cage (as she evidently does when we're not here) and it somehow got out of her hand.  Evidently she thought I'd lose my cool, but I didn't.  She somehow chased it into our room where it is under our dresser.  It must like it there because we haven't heard a chirp out of her.  She'll come out when she's hungry.

You are right Cassanova. I'm actually waiting for SSA to review my case and when they do, I'm going to tell them I'm ready to work at whatever costs. They have a ticket to work program, and I still have the ticket. As far as the drinking goes, yeah. little over two weeks more and it will be a entire year but I don't feel like its an accomplishment. something to remember not to go back to

I know I can be useful to society and a potential partner. friend, whatever. I just wish people would be a bit more understanding and not rush to judge so quickly. Its part of the reason why I seem like such a fucking ass online, really though I'm a sweet gentle soul with hardly a bad bone in my body.

but, perception is 9/10ths of the law so, whatever.

Skills that give you a comeback for only one small part of my post? :hahaha:

Why not admit that PPK has a better knowledge of San Francisco food than you have of Boston food? :P Learn how to make a Boston Cream Pie. :thumbup:

  We don't make Boston cream pie at work, it comes in frozen.  :-[

:(

Frozen from Boston? :dunno:

If not, learn to make some for your future visitors. :thumbup:

  Visitors?  Is that when people come to my apartment and I have to let them in?  :zoinks:

:indeed:

Then they get your couch dirty, eat your food and convince you to try Anchor Steam and gumbo. :thumbup:

So I'm thinking about going over to another author.  I have some Frank Herbert books I haven't read yet, including Whipping Star.

LOL.  I decided a very long time ago that I should read the classics.  But I tend to move on to other stuff pretty quickly, before I've even finished.  So now that I'm between novels, I'm tackling The Stoic Philosophy of Seneca which is a collection of his writings edited by some scholar or other.  I'm almost finished with his theodicy; and before, I thought that Christians had started that shit.  "God is perfect even though life sucks" is now "God is perfect because life sucks."  LOL!

Must be stress. Haven't had these issue since I was young teen.

I'll tell you what- I hate how depression tends to manifest as an "average of all moods" in me. Instead of being one solid mood which I could point to and decide I am depressed, it has to fluctuate so that I am never sure if I am depressed unless retrospectively. I think I am depressed though.

Thanks weeble. I'm sure she will be fine, however last night she fainted several times, and her hands froze in a weird position and turned a little blue. she was pale, and sweating and could hardly walk. It was difficult trying to convince her to go to the hospital but she finally did.

She has had her intestines kink up before so I hope that's all that it is, however this time it seems to be different.

Waiting until the head shop opens for business. I want some smoke to make the ride from my pills nice and smooth, so I can lay down with a bong, some opiates and relax. Plus got to take my sharps bin back to the needle exchange and get an empty one in return.

Also thinking 'I'd quite like to grab the fuming nitric acid thats going on ebay right now' and likewise with the half kilo each of uranium nitrate and thorium nitrate. A whopping great lump of thorium and uranium metal would make a fantastic centerpiece for my element collection. I'm thinking of building a framed periodic table, with compartments for samples of each element, plus their reasonably stable allotropes. Such as red, white, violet, scarlet, and the two forms of black phosphorus, white and metallic arsenic,  red and grey selenium etc.

Yes, I am biologically biased against transsexuals. It is called sexuality and it can't be changed unfortunately.

A great deal of women I have been initially attracted to were transsexuals. But when I got to know them better, I was unable to identify them as female anymore, hence they just 'died' emotionally.


The surrounding considerations are extremely warranted.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: 神 on November 10, 2013, 10:22:03 AM
I mean, I largely understand how the instinctive sex identification works on a physical basis, and it is just too much shit you can't block. But the mental part is still quite mysterious to me. Maybe I can block certain perceptions, which would in combination with MtF women who were androgynous to begin with, prevent myself from making the fatal realizations on the long run. Maybe I can become semi-bisexual. It is still somewhat more probable than finding real women I am interested in.

Pictures make a lot of difference:

(http://i.imgur.com/GgnGM.jpg)

The only really obvious giveaway is the large forehead and the somewhat thick hair (despite the fact that you obviously need a male brain to compete in the top league of Starcraft). But who knows with certainty .. the first good female gamer prodigy maybe?



(http://sc2.gameguyz.com/sites/default/files/teams/Axiom-Acer/big/Scarlett.jpg)

(http://www.gosugamers.net/files/images/StarCraft%202/Players/Scarlett-Kevin%20Florenzano.JPG)

Now with the very clear frontal real-life pictures, it is impossible to not see a guy who went on HRT after puberty ... or somehow has high estrogen levels. It will probably never work. But most transsexuals get HRT after puberty, because of legal reasons.

Also, this woman:

What it Feels Like to Have DBS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztv64i1Q_a0#)

Gender detects as clearly male. But I would believe she has more pressing concerns than to be transsexual. Maybe intersex? Or just the mere chance of genetic randomness? Could be XXY with HRT, but then not really clear. The mysteries of perception.

Men are usually either hetero or homo, but among gays and transsexuals you are not considered bisexual for being into shemales.

Pyraxis also has the large forehead :( . But then maybe she just has an unusually big brain <3 . And the lack of obvious female features could just be natural, by mere chance. Like her:

But she is mostly just talking about stupid female shit :'( .

Then maybe you also know that I am very open towards discussing any topic and respecting someone's opinion and that my considerations about transgendered people are part of my considerations to have intimate relationships with people I like, which actually involves sex and interacting with people, whoever they might be.

Do you want to allege that sex and relationships just happen, without any though or causality, and that you must not speak about it? Or that it happens without real people? Or maybe that you don't have to have your sexuality and you can just love everyone out of the blue, like entirely randomly?

Oh, and let's not forget: What we see and feel is completely voluntary. If you are attracted to people, it is always by choice. And if you see a man instead of a woman, or 3 fingers instead of 4 fingers, that is also entirely your choice. Because we can in fact believe and feel and think whatever we want, because we are the children of god, the incarnation of perfect reason, blah blah.

You already know that your remark made no sense whatsoever, I think.

The surrounding considerations are extremely warranted.

So, your instinct says "attraction" and then your mind takes over?

No, attraction itself is not instinctual, and what is 'mind' supposed to be in context even. I don't even know how you can misinterpret what I wrote so wrong in the first place.

Attraction depends on certain features that are considered desirable, in respect to your sexual orientation. That can be if you have a shared interest or if someone has certain personality features, the way they behave, etc or just very bluntly if they smell good or look pretty (which is not very likely to be important over the internet). I find a large skull size very attractive, unfortunately that is also a rather male feature, like other aspects, for example being interested in programming or being obsessive, rational, aggressive, dominant, etc. There are real women who are like that, but it is so rare that they are likely outnumbered by transsexuals.

When you do not know someone in depth, you have to assume a lot of detailed information about them which you have no solid confirmation of by experience. That is how someone transsexual can initially be rather like a woman (or simply ambiguous, so that you can rationally decide what is true) to your perception, only to be 'corrected' into a male by your sense of reality and emotional perception later, if it is fed with the actual details you couldn't be aware of before.

Really? Let's go through it again. I promise it is not complicated:

1. I am heterosexual, that means I can only be attracted to women without any element of choice
2. I am human and my perception (not understanding) of reality is fixed and cannot be altered by choice or knowledge. Especially if relating to very very instinctive and basic things, that are evolutionary branded in like gravity and dailight. For example: which animals are of my species, which animals of my species are of my sex, is the room dark or is it bright, do I see 4 fingers or 5 fingers, etc. Those are all features of perception you have no control over whatsoever.
3. If I perceive (not understand) MtF transsexuals as males, although I understand them as females, and if I have neither a choice over that perceived reality, nor over my sexuality, then what is the outcome?

And followed by that realization, rather important here: what is the fudge factor? How to deal with the surrounding issues described?

If I were briefly organizing a competition, for example a car race, you can't put that out of context to justify that men are all about cars and not caring about women either. Surprise: cars are absolutely irrelevant to relationships with women. It may sound pretty funny, but makes no sense whatsoever.

I just had the thought: what if my former mistress was transsexual? I can't rule it out either.


If I ever emotionally realized the wrong things, it would mean I have been seriously abused and tortured by a man while being very vulnerable, which would make me equally as much traumatized by it. This is just extremely frightening. I didn't know her that long.

One time it is tiotally fine because you are fucking obsessive and mental, and the other it is like you have been raped in your childhood.

Well I am not sure if that actually happens, but it is what would happen if just the sexual/emotional aspect was gone. I guess it is more like him still being female in memory and being confusingly corrected partially by the brain in that. Not sure what happens with really intense emotions.

She was so reasonable, even more than Pyraxis. I have never seen that in a woman in real life.

But I remember I knew something that confirmed the sex. Don't know what it was though.

My cat is snoring like twenty pounds of fat cat.

Remember I used to say she was a small cat?  Well she is actually a tiny cat, probably nine or ten pounds if she was a hunter. Now she has become obese (have not weighed her, but I am guessing fourteen pounds - half again her normal weight. I would be three hundred pounds if that were so of my weight.   :yikes:).

She is a darling, still, but hell!  I am worried about her health.


Snoring is hilarious, though!

No, you can't. You don't know how to behave around them. You don't know what to say or what to do around them, which is painfully obvious to anyone here.

But what's worse, far worse, is that you are unwilling to learn.

No. Her body had few female markers, some male ones and she was thinking too rationally and organized.

I have been through an election that probably could only be dreamed by a eccentric mind.

Polls opened at 7 a.m.  We were placed in the large hallway, not a problem.  They were using the Dining Hall as the main area for an open house for prospective students. 

After the open house some more people came into the Dining Hall with beer, wine, liquor, items for auction, etc.  It was for a pet rescue organization.  Evidently there is a group of ladies of varying ages who wear atomic or fluorescent colored wigs and corsets, tights of bright colors, ballerina tutus, biscuit beater pants, etc. and seem to dress as some type of Anime feline.  Then the Elvis impersonators came in.  Evidently they were the band.  Everyone walked around the hallway freely, carrying alcohol, eating food and one person even looked in a voting machine!  They set up a photo booth next to our tables.

Quite an experience I can assure you.

Wondering if the Appel reaction can be run in chloroform, or even dichlor, rather than carbon tet, which has been declared anathema by the powers that be as a carcinogen, and is now about as hard to obtain via commercial suppliers as fossilized unicorn shit.

Damn shame too, as its a very useful solvent for certain reactions, as it is very, very, very inert, even to some truly obnoxious, viciously reactive oxidizers, nasty ass fluorinated compounds etc. And is called for as a reagent, rather than solvent for the appel rxn (using CCl4 and triphenylphosphine to transform an alcohol to an alkyl halide. Nice mild rxn conditions..and I happen to have quite a lot of triphenylphosphine handy)

I run across all sorts of old banned chemicals that used to be commonly used at estate sales including carbon tet.  Mostly I leave it alone unless I have a use or I know I can sell it like freon.

If you happen to run into any carbon tet...let me know!
I need some at the moment. Antique fire extinquishers, old dry cleaning fluid, halogenated solvents in general, if you are selling for a reasonable price, PM me, and chances are I'll take it.

Or lab stuff in general, reagents, solvents, old glass..do let me know.

In particular carbon tet though, its such a right royal bugger to buy these days, as next to nobody uses it, what with it being labelled persona non grata. Pretty pointless IMO. Why ban something for toxicity reasons...toxicity just means one needs to take proper precautions during handling and use. And there are FAR worse chemicals used widely. What next? no more HF, dimethyl sulfate, azides? a ban on cyanides?

Total pain in the arse. I've been wanting to run that Appel reaction, and really would rather not have to go about synthesizing the carbon tet from scratch.

No more food porn.

Is that porn involving food, or detailed pictures of food that you salivate over?

Two things:

One being I'm hungry and want something to eat.

The other being I am thinking that I need to get off my arse and start that carbon tet synthesis.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on December 06, 2013, 04:57:55 PM
Second thoughts, just eating will do for now. My bad leg is hurting something fierce, even an IV dose of oxy hasn't really made much of a dent in it tonight. Although roasting my leg in the oven for a while with the door a little ajar has provided a little relief.

The carbon tetrachloride can wait. Seeing as I have to go all the way from the very most basic of basic start points (acetone->haloform reaction w/ hypochlorite bleach to give chloroform, then UV-photocatalytic irradiation of chloroform whilst a current of chlorine gas is passed through it to give carbon tet)  and the lab is FREEZING cold. I can't even go in there right now without my leg starting to scream its protests and starting shivering like crazy. No thanks. Not right now. I'm tired, I'm hurting and the rest of me aches too. I think tonight I'm going to bed early, going to take a couple of very, very strong sleepers, turn up the central heating and curl up in bed.

The triphenylphosphine thats waiting to be reacted with c-tet can wait its turn, and freeze its bollocks off on my lab shelves a little longer, it isn't going anywhere. (Doing an Appel reaction, on pseudoephedrine, to produce a chloroephedrine)

Glad that X-mas is not more stressful than eating with friends or relatives, or just at home. Some people decorate over the top, I will not, just a bit. Will probably be at my mother from December 24 to December 25. So, only will have to think about food for the 26th.

What snow. This is a lousy winter. I want snow, but there is none. OK, my youngest claims she has seen some snowflakes last month, and I have seen hail one day. But that is not winter. To be camouflaged, wearing greens and browns work best at the moment.

What snow. This is a lousy winter. I want snow, but there is none. OK, my youngest claims she has seen some snowflakes last month, and I have seen hail one day. But that is not winter. To be camouflaged, wearing greens and browns work best at the moment.

America has stolen all of your snow, it seems. :ninja:

Well, it is only fair that you keep it.  After all you have a larger surface to spread it out over.   If you sent all your snow over to Hyke's country she would be up to her udders in it.   :hyke:

Change of plans, mending first, because half of what needs mending needs ironing too.

Hurray for procrastination.

Now mending a bright green dress, just in case spring comes early.

I am thinking about one of the boys in the taxi that collects the urchin for school.  I call him 'the smiler'.  He always smiles at me and waves at me when I bring the urchin out to the taxi.

Marion, who is the chaperone to school told me that one of the boys has had a really terrible home life.  She said his parents don't care, are often not around when they drop him off and he has had several beatings.  She said he was likely to be taken into care by social services.  She didn't say who the boy was.  She couldn't.  I had no reason to think it was the smiler until Christmas.  At the school Christmas fayre all the children were there with their parent/s and I noticed the smiler was with a representative of Birmingham City Council.   :(

He wasn't in the taxi this morning and I am hoping he is OK.  He looks very cheeky but absolutely lovable.

I periodically wonder what it says about me that my Ask Away thread never gets asked in.

It will tell you that you are as special as the bulk of the members of I2.  :zoinks:

It tells you that you've been blasting and laughing so long that even Odeon thinks that your mind is gone. :coolyo:

Been spending most your life living in an aspie paradise. :fuckyeahdance:
I think it may simply mean I've been on here long enough the guys have lost interest in sexually harassing me.   :toporly:

I'll violate your ask away thread, if you want me to.  :orly:

Come on, Elle, play with me. I'll even dress up all fancy pants Lord Cuntington, and violate you all posh and dignified and all.  :zoinks:  It'll be fun. This place has been something awful boring.

Perhaps something should be done about that. :trollface:

Not everyone is as interesting as I am. :M

I am not saying women should be smooth all over, but maybe you could consider shaving. That beard is not becoming you.

On the bright side, if life is getting rid of drama, that may leave you with some energy for exiting projects. Making your life your life, instead of surviving and catering people caught in drama.

Would it be different if the village was full of artsy festival workers? If I really, really wanted to?

No.

All would be the same and except for finding yourself in discord with local/social law NO one would ever question you, much.

(Yep I have slept for almost five hours; fucking feel great!)

How is the Fest going?  Honestly, I thought you loved doing what you do, (your real enjoyment, not what forces you to work against your will) but I am sorry about all the incompetent producers, each one vying for an award of some kind. As you work, you are denied you ability to make the best of the night, right?
I QUIT music production because of NOT being able to control a room, but your room is YOURS!! Just do whot you know and stand watch to keep your work safe from daily interlopers.

I used to love running 35mm shows, and 70mm, of course, but all that is mostly gone, replaced by digital images from hard drives. The job is now that of an IT technician's, with some traces of a projectionist's work description. There's still the matter of projecting an image and making sure that it uses the correct aspect ratio, and there's still a Dolby processor and room equalisation and all that.

But mostly it's about inserting hot-swap drives and uploading files to a server, about building shows by dragging and dropping things in a graphical user interface, and about clicking Play using a touchpad.

The job is not what it was. There is no challenge, nothing to hold your interest for any significant period of time.

What is unchanged--or perhaps worse these days, since films are cheaper to make now than they used to be--is the uninterrupted flow of morons passing through my projection booth. The filmmakers, who seldom know anything but think their films are more important than peace in the middle east, the mixers who actually sometimes know something but only too rarely trust that others might know how to do their jobs, too, and, finally, the festival workers who only very rarely know anything but think what they do is important.

If the work was still about 35 mm prints and the art and science of producing beautiful images, perhaps I'd be better able to ignore the morons. As things stand, I am infinitely bored and therefore spend my time being sarcastic.

I should have posted this in the let off some steam thread.

An excellent point. Thank you.

... but two is unique!  It is two.  Exploring its squares, cubes and the reciprocals of each is even more fun. Unless you work in an environment which makes you think in terms of squares or inverse squares or cubes or inverse cubes, constantly.

With such a job, one forgets that two is so unique and even denies it even status, until one thinks a bit, but it  IS the thinking a bit that causes the confusion.

We fixed the auditorium curtain. Took us all night since scaffolding was required to climb the 7 metres straight up.

It's sort of a festival tradition, this. I run about 60 shows in ten days, so the curtain gets a workout and any weaknesses from a lack of use are exposed. It last happened two years ago.

Because its current owners are monumental idiots who do everything in their power to destroy the place. I can't stand watching the destruction. That cinema has been my obsession for almost 30 years.

They don't particularly like me either, but projectionists of the old school--who know how to run 35 and 70 mm shows--are very hard to come by so when there is a 35 mm show, they need me. Clicking Play is easier and any idiot can do it, which they've proven a couple of times lately.

The cinema has, for obvious reasons, been on my mind a lot, lately. I have been thinking about writing a book about my festival years. I have a lot of material to pick from, and I'd probably manage to make a lot of people angry.
:laugh:

If the urge is there, don't resist it. You don't have to publish it. But, if it is good, it would be a pity not to publish.

But could they sue you if you published, like DD's music industry people?

Though even if they could, it would still be a good way of preserving the stories.

This was my 25th consecutive festival at this particular cinema, with ten or eleven days of screening films each. Add to that the several weeks of preparation.

Europe has not been completely americanised yet. So, the suing culture has not been fully ingrained yet.
But, we're getting there. And it is making things less fun.

Same is true for the Netherlands. And the effects of the suing culture are already noticeable. Ten years ago, I would have been able to hire the gym for a kids party, and they would help me set things up, to make it a safe and fun playground for toddlers. Now they are not allowed to help setting things up, because they do not want to have the risk of getting sued, in case a kid trips and breaks something. So, there is no professional help, the situations will be less safe, but, the council hiring the place out will be safe from suing.
Sucks.
More of that is happening now.
Our politicians are looking a lot to big America on how to do things. Wanting to fit in things from the American culture, thinking it will not change the things that make our culture work. It does make things different. And big time too.

What I find hard is how politicians think they can just implement what they like, in a different setting. It is like doing a cross-species transplant. One cannot just take one thing from a culture and implement it in a totally different culture, just like that. And then hope it will not change what works well in that culture.

I'm thinking about getting myself a professional hearing aid. Some sort of plugs that will not help me to hear better, no.. I'd like a pair that mutes noise out. I know there are good ones to be purchased that are specially made to 'comfortably' fit my ears and will tone down certain areas of noise or sound.

See, at the moment my hyperacusis is again really bugging me and even the radio on low volume isn't pleasant to listen to.

Um, in the thread 'name one thing you'd like to change about yourself' I probably would've mentioned something about me wishing not to be so überly sensitive for noise.. or sutin', I think.

@ Lutra

I wonder how comfortable they will be. And I would love to hear more about it. (well, read, not hear) I hated earplugs, because of the pressure it brought, and because of the reinforcing the sounds of my body. A sibling of mine passed out during the fitting process of customised things for his ears. He could not deal with the pressure.

And, of course, the Americanisms, the poorly translated expressions, especially those by sports journalists (who should all be killed to save whatever little there is left of our written language).

RE Hykey:

I had them fitted for me personally p/m 20 years ago and I cannot recall if I had problems with the pressure during the fitting procedure. Wore them a couple of times back then and they did help a bit. The issue I had with them was hygiene related but I'm way less a germ-phobe than I was back then and I'd clean them better nowadays, I think.

Going to look for options and prices soon. There is also a store in this city's center concerning ear/hear buggeries I could inform and get me some advice there.

The US is a fantastic country but it isn't all there is.

What I find hard is how politicians think they can just implement what they like, in a different setting. It is like doing a cross-species transplant. One cannot just take one thing from a culture and implement it in a totally different culture, just like that. And then hope it will not change what works well in that culture.

What I find even harder is how people inject American expressions in their everyday speech. They are killing their language and not even caring.

And, of course, the Americanisms, the poorly translated expressions, especially those by sports journalists (who should all be killed to save whatever little there is left of our written language).

I should start a thread about sports journalism.

What kind of American expressions?

Not going there. Sorry.

America, fuck yeah! :autism:

Not much experience with kinky horses.  You'd have to ask my GGGrand daughter, Anne, about kinky horses.
Come to think of it, she may be a kinky horse.  At least she has horse sense and works like one.  Quite admirable girl.

All of the ones are beautiful, so I rely on your good horse sense Boudiccea, since you grew up with them.

There's an idea. I don't have any blue tack here at the moment, but maybe I can find some kneaded eraser.
Sirius will probably come to bed with me too. So I will have something soft and furry to bury my fingers in. He loves to be kneaded like a lump of dough.

As well as can be expected. There are things he just won't understand so the trick is to be aware of them and avoid them. Such as discussing stress. While I wish I'd have an employer who'd understand that my stress is killing me and act accordingly, I just don't. Whatever help I need I must get elsewhere.

No, this is a new one. He is a much nicer guy and the owner's son to boot, but he's got his own quirks. Also, you can't really talk freely about what you think about the things the company does because it's personal for him.

The 12-yo got sacked, apparently. I don't have direct confirmation but some between-the-lines stuff I keep hearing. :zoinks:

I'd say that our management is probably the number one cause, considering how they are responsible of *how* work is being done. My last two bosses have been disasters, both of them. Not that I wasn't stressed before they came along but nowhere near like this.

I'm not a stressed-out person per se, I think.

I've been having internet connection trouble that's making everything very slow. The cable company seems to have done something to our connection and I can't figure out what to do about it. I know from experience that if I try to call them and ask, they'll deny that there's been any change. They have a speed test here (http://speedtest.bhn.net/) but they'll claim that the number is within the acceptable range.

If you're on a Windows box, fire up a DOS prompt and run "tracert www.google.com (http://www.google.com)". That should give you a basic idea of where the bottlenecks are. If on a Mac, the equivalent is "traceroute".

You should probably also compare browsing speeds between a web address and an IP, say, www.google.com (http://www.google.com) and 173.194.71.103. If there is a significant difference, your ISP is most likely having DNS trouble.

If that is the case, you should be able to use another DNS server such as Google's 8.8.8.8 or Open DNS's 208.67.222.222. Usually, this involves editing a modem/router configuration page but I don't know the details of your setup.

The tracert results for Google came out pretty normal (mostly under 30ms per hop) but another site that I use a lot had a half dozen "request timed out" at the end of the list.

Isquared came out under 30ms for the first seven lines, which seems to get it out of the range of addresses with my ISP name in them, but then immediately dropped to 70ms and stayed around there for the next seven lines and then went to "request timed out".

Thanks for posting this, it's a neat diagnostic.

Thinking that I have too often missed some of the best movies of our time.

Just watched "Lady Sings The Blues."

I have owned the LP soundtrack for many years, well, since the seventies and I never really played it that much.

I just indulged myself in the depths of this awesome movie.  This would be one that I will replace on Blu-ray as soon as it is available. (as far as I can find it is not yet available on Blu-ray)

The standard definition DVD is just OK. The picture is fine, but the sound is just overly compressed and really digi sounding. This is a movie that would totally benefit from a modern re-release using the latest standards and then played using the current digital to analog chips and protocols.

An amazing movie!

You've been thinking on plans for a couple of years now. Maybe it is time to just get started on one of the plans that appeals the most to you, and that can be done in the safest way.

There are not going to be any guarantees. You have to take a risky step into the unknowing.



Maybe your first step could be one dealing with your close environment, tell your neighbours that their trash and smoke annoys you in the hallway.

If they do not change their trashing habbits, you have every reason to go to your landlord, and complain there.

Do you get the same approximate results if you run tracert several times against the same address?

Looks like it. I tried Isquared three times and each time it started out under 30, then jumped up to 70's, then 90's, and finally request timed out.

What results should I be getting?

There's also a strange issue whenever I try to upload a file - three out of four times the file will come out 0k. I've been trying to do website updates and I have to manually upload each file one by one because uploading a group, they'll all fail. Sometimes image files cut off in the middle.

There's no way to tell exactly what results you should be getting with a traceroute, unfortunately. It depends on lots of different things. Basically, you want as few hops as possible, consistency, and responses as short as possible. If you have few hops but one or two that always approach a second, you are in as much trouble as with a long series of hops that use 50 milliseconds each.

But given the upload issue you mention, I wonder if the problem is closer to you than that.

Are you behind a router at home? The upload problem reminds me of a router I used to own that was misbehaving. Basically, the problem was that it tried to take on too large packages up- or downstream and choked about halfway through.

Most routers have a setting for this, hidden somewhere within the config pages. It's called MPU and the default is usually around 1500.

I experimented with lowering the value to around 1200, which helped.

If your router is something like a Netgear or DLink, or the cheaper Linksys models for home use, the problem might also be caused by the router breaking down. Overheating problems can cause this, as can a power supply about to fail.

WolFish found the setting, but it doesn't seem to be editable. What you said here makes me think we're just going to need a new router. This climate (hot and wet) is hell on electronics and my tablet is always a few degrees away from overheating as well. We have a Belkin. Do you have any recommendations of what brand to get for a new one?

Is there any way you can borrow a router from somewhere and test this first? I can't say I'm sure about this--remotely dx'ing network issues is kind of tricky.

Come to think of it--if the Belkin's just a router, meaning that there's a separate modem, connected to the router, just unplug it and test connecting directly via the modem.

The only brand I can actually recommend is Draytek, but they are ridiculously expensive. I've heard good things being said about Asus routers but I don't have any first-hand experience with them. The newer, dual band Netgears are supposedly good, too, as are the more upscale Linksys routers. It's the low-end stuff you want to avoid.

I did buy a cheap TPLink last summer when our interwebz broke down and we had to make do with a 3G modem for a while. Don't know how it would hold up after a few months, but for three weeks, it delivered bytes without any problems.

Have heard the term "girlfriend zone;" feel it has some stupid connotations but sure as hell describes a real thing.

"Oh, you mean I'm not going to be able to put my cock in you?  Lost interest."   ::)

I know not all men are like that, though it really does feel some days like most people don't bother with you unless they think they can get sex, money, or other favors from you.  Interesting test of character, whether they 1. help you when you need it and/or 2. still remember you exist when you're not useful to them.

Meh.  Humans are self-centered by nature anyway.

It would make sense if that were causing the problem with the cut off files, if the router were rapidly switching between one device and another so it could never get a clear connection through.

Not sure if we could find another router to try. That might require actually holding a personal conversation with one of the geeks at work, and I'm a spaz.

Fish...in a taco...that just sounds wrong. Like pineapple on pizza...pineapple is just not meant to be cooked. Yeech. Love them, fresh, tinned, ADORE pineapple juice, but cooked, warm and made all mushy and tangyness-less..

Or white sauce of any kind, on anything, or cheese sauce. Some things one can tell are utterly foul even without having to sample thereof.

I have to say though, for mexi-munch I prefer enchiladas full of steak and wild mushrooms chilli, filled with lots of chickpeas, kidney beans, melted mozzarella (no, that doesn't count as disgusting white sauce or manky cheese sauce, molten actual cheese is different:P)

I prefer the soft, flexible enchilada or quesadilla wraps to crispy taco shells for the bit that holds the fillings together in a convenient to keep hold of wrapper. Especially with mozzarella melted liberally inside the core, for a nice chewy center.  Tacos break and fall to bits too easily and sensory-wise the softer chewier texture is just more appealing.

Bugger...I'm hungry again now.
I think I'll go and grab a bowl of weetabix, or maybe a honey sandwich or two. And of course keep my eyes peeled in case there happen to be any more nice juicy pills to be found near where I found the one I just shot :P

One of the luxuries I allow myself is a can of pineapple juice when I give blood.  That's the only time I let myself have it. 

Pineapple and meat don't mix well on my tongue.  I don't seem to like sweetness with my meat.  Sauerkraut with sausage and kneps (basically dumplings) or on a hot dog, yum.

I don't like soft tortillas.  They taste undercooked to me.  Hard tacos are one of the few crispy foods I like.

Did you know that if you get fired in the USA and take COBRA (temporary program that allows you to keep your health insurance and pay for it yourself instead of your employer paying), even if you take it for only one month, it disqualifies you from Obamacare until the next year?

I didn't either.

(For non-USA people, COBRA is expensive but used to be the only way you could force a health insurer to keep covering you if you had a pre-existing condition, otherwise nobody would sell you coverage. It used to be very important to take it. Now it's very important not to.)

It sounds like Obamacare is a very bad way of fixing a very bad situation.
It's very flawed, yes.  A big part of the problem with the affordable care act is that it sort of assumes medicaid is available, but not all states are choosing to provide medicaid.

One of the positives/one of the hopes I heard about it is that, over time, it will gain cultural acceptance, sort of the way gay marriage has.  If it did hit a tipping point like that, implementing fixes would be more workable.  Right now, the idea that everyone should be able to access affordable and decent health insurance is still apparently broadly unthinkable to a lot of people.

The compromises that have been necessitated do, IMO, a lovely job of highlighting 1. how fucked our political system is (of course) but also 2. how fucked our health insurance system(s) is/are.  The latter was not, I think, properly in the public eye before.

Some of the reforms are good, such as the coverage for preexisting conditions.

Programs of this sort aren't popular in America, possibly because the rich have an inordinate amount of power in our political system. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. At that rate, working 40 hours per week, with no vacation, a worker will make $15,080 per year, which is less than the federal poverty guidelines for a family of two ($15,730). :thumbdn:

In the long run it might actually become affordable but that wont happen as long as the government uses private insurance companies for something that's supposed to be a government program. A truly affordable government healthcare option would put private insurance companies out of business, so the insurance companies are in the politician's pockets. Knew it wasn't going to happen from the beginning.

Another good one is allowing parents to cover their adult children, but they shouldn't have to do that so it's a shame that's a good thing.

It's Thatcher's paradise here.

An affordable public option is the crux of the health care issue. Depending on how it's set up, it could keep costs down, reward doctors who perform and provide health care to the uninsured.

(Also, basically *all* civil rights and protections apply more to the rich, in practice.)

Not "the best thing," but the long-term hope would be that if we accept that people *should* have access to affordable healthcare, we would then be far more motivated as a country to un-fuck the system.

It's corruption that drives up the price (of course) but also the overhead.  There's so many different kinds of insurers and quirks in treating vs. billing that a lot of money is lost just sorting through ridiculous administrative shit.

The part of the American dream that's bullshit isn't that it's unachievable. The bullshit is that people think that's what they should want out of life, that's the secret to contentment in life, the definition of success in life, and unhappiness will ensue if one doesn't achieve it. Younger generations have a lot more options than past generations. Currently have two children who openly admit the family and white picket fence in the burbs isn't what they want out of life. One in particular is currently struggling with this a great deal, mentally dooming themselves to a life of bitterness, loneliness, and unhappiness because of being somehow convinced that what they *should* want, and that's the definition of a fulfilling life. Can't for the foggiest understand why and wish I could help.

We are NOT amused.

I find that my 30mg morphine xr tablets were, without consulting or even informing me, replaced with 60mg ones. I'd be delighted, if it were not for the fact that A, I got half as many, so keeping me on the same dose. But having the total dose condensed into half as many pills, removes my freedom to vary from day to day, as my pain level demands of me, either taking a little less, or a little more and compensating by taking that much less when my pain is at its lowest levels that week.

Just that little flexibility is really useful, so I'm going in tomorrow (and no I will not be giving the 60s back, fucking hell will freeze over before that happens :P )

And B: the brand I got is different, and unlike the ones I got before, the 30s, this company's 60s gel up INSTANTLY on addition of water, and make it necessary to add quite a lot of water, not to mention dangerously, the requirement of pulling the solution through filters under bloody vacuum or high pressure traps air in there that isn't obviously visible.

The others do gel up and need a few filters per handful of pills, but there is sufficient time, given the ground up tablet/water slurry isn't heated up, to fill several rigs up and get out most of the morphine. The rest can be pulled out chemically.

These...ugh. Its like trying to filter soup. Or less appetizingly, a bowl of nasal mucus.

Barely possible to get the stuff into a syringe at all. Not pleased about that at all, although I managed in the end. Fucks sake, they are meant to make it convenient to shoot up :P

No books on aryans, zend avesta, or zarathustra in the library (minus one travel guide)...

The one book I find on aryans was a very well detailed history of the superiority of the white race.  :facepalm2:
Published by the Scottish Free Masons of the USA.

*sigh*

Fcking elitists. They just ruin everything. It would have been a perfectly useful book without all of the rhetoric and inaccurate analogies.

The old man is a bit more disoriented this morning. It looks like he was up and down last night, had an accident and ended up taking all his clothes off. And when he woke up he introduced himself and got straight to telling me he wasn't born here, he was born in northern Ireland.  :laugh: Sometimes he thinks he is in a hospital.

Odeon,  I would really like your input on my new design.
I have been doing this for quite a while, now, but I respect your knowledge of things physical.

Can you imagine two large (dual eighteens) drivers each facing a kind of static pressure field, tempered by teardrop shaped (like used for high frequency drivers to align the outside of the diaphragm with the inner curve of the moving mass) cone supporting complimentary shapes, quite the opposite of what HF diaphragms need. 
Low frequency drivers just need to remain in piston motion; no sideways motion, ever, just pure piston motion.

Low frequency moving masses need to be supported on both sides, right and on all moving surfaces, right?

So I have a really tight back support and a kind of pressure related support on the driving side, just like the compensation afforded HF drivers to keep phase aligned.  But here, we are not worried about phase (wave lengths are more than ten times the cone widths) we are trying to keep the cones performing as true pistons. My old JBL guy told me to give it up.

I have just re-invented the wheel.

WTF!!

A difference in phase would still give you overtones, wouldn't it? But other than that, I seem to recall that Bose did something similar with a sub design for cinemas. Or rather, they tried to. AFAIK, they're not in that business anymore.

I can't say as I have the foggiest.

I don't really know any junkies either so I can't ask or observe.
My tat wasn't done for that purpose though, not that its really in an area one could inject into (shoulder blade area, a black panther/melanistic leopard in a rearing pose, growling and with one paw going to strike, with claws unsheathed)

Where practical though, best practice is to rotate entry sites to give veins time to keep healed, and to use the finest gauge point obtainable/useable with the substance being used. I myself favour a 30 or 31ga needle for most things, other than the MS contins, those are a fucking right bugger to filter and draw up, in the case of those lil fuckers a 28ga is much more effective in prepping it.

The smaller the better basically, although the tiny ones are somewhat harder to use, less pain, far less tendency to leave track marks, but slow to deliver the payload in the rig when the plunger is pushed, due to of course, there being less space for it to flow down. They also twist, and are harder to register (after inserting the needle, you pull back slightly on the plunger, to draw blood back into the barrel, if its in the vein, then this will happen, if you are off target, then it will not do so.  And with the narrower needle its easier than with a wider point for it to slip out and 'un-register', due to less resistance.)

30 and 31-32ga. spikes  need a bit of finesse to use with success really.

The entire plan I have not yet shown.

I know that Bose, JBL, Cerwin Vega, Danly, and Showo have all tried to control a high volume low-frequency driver using pressure on each side of the cone.

What I have come up with is a "way"  where the first order anomalies are mostly eliminated before they begin to propagate.

Yeah, I am making a "GIANT"  subwoofer, possibly capable of "crowd control,"  as you suggested. I am more interested in its value as an extreme output device in the lower two octaves of human hearing.

Something a band owner would want. Something musical.
I will show you my three chambered device when I have a working model.

With three vented chambers powered by two drivers it will be a twelfth order device and as you probably know, bandpass in its response. Not very many of those around, really.

With all the buzz over tapped horn design, most are still trying to make those things work. But, no one has done so like Tom Danley has.
Danley's Tapped Horn IS also a bandpass device.

Same here, and they changed the whole roster per begin this May on top of that. Means that there are two minutes left to buy tickets and get on the train when I go by bus to the station, on Sundays. On other days I have over 10 minutes.
There is a roadblock, making that there is a 7 minute average delay.

Decided not to go to a BD. Did not fancy hanging around on a derelict station in a place where nothing is open, for an hour.

Missed the bus. :/ thought it was at the same time as yesterday, forgot the sunday schedule changes.

WHY does the schedule have to change THREE times. One time for weekdays, one time for saturdays, and one time for sundays :/

Same here, and they changed the whole roster per begin this May on top of that. Means that there are two minutes left to buy tickets and get on the train when I go by bus to the station, on Sundays. On other days I have over 10 minutes.
There is a roadblock, making that there is a 7 minute average delay.

Decided not to go to a BD. Did not fancy hanging around on a derelict station in a place where nothing is open, for an hour.

Its too many routines. One bus is at 9:10, on another day its at 9:20, and on other days its 9:40. I have several different corresponding alarms...it is way too easy to get mixed up :/

On top of everything, if it's a holiday that I am not aware of (I usually am not), then it changes yet again.

I realise it probably makes sense financially...

I know what you mean. Here it was 12 past every hour and 12 past every half hour on weekdays, 12 past every half hour on Saturdays, and 13 past every half hour on Sundays. That was not too hard, just kept the 12 past in my mind, and all would be OK.
And the time to get a transfer on the train almost always was plenty.
Now the times are drifting apart way more, so, keeping the schedule in mind does not work any more. And transfer time at the station is too short on Sundays, the day when trains only go once an hour.

Mèh.

The schedule does change yearly, minimal changes, but still. A few years ago, all of a sudden the bus schedule was nearly identical to the one it was twenty years ago. That was confusing. Somehow I expected everything in the bus to be like it was 20 years ago.

OK, so right now I can not tell the difference between thinking and drinking.  Sorry for starting in the wrong thread, but work with me here, I am showing early signs of vascular dementia, FFS!

I actually had a thought that I would love to share but I am just too embarrassed.  KNOW one (see, I can not even use the write words1) ELSE  CAN EVEN sea how hard this is ...



Well, OK, then, you have to have some context.

I HAVE A DOG


I have not had a dog in about five years. I have really missed having a dog.

We have rescued a small dog that is perfect for city living and he is incredibly intelligent. AND he LOVES my daughter!!

It is kind of like when we got the cat, it was for my daughter, but the cat chose ME, NOT her. My cat will have nothing to do with my daughter, except claws and fangs and cuts and scratches and growls and hisses and spitting.

CAT is awesome for me, but not what I wanted for my daughter, although my daughter has made the best of learning to love being scratched and spit at and maimed by this cat. (there is this thing called sensory integration and needing to feel clawed and bitten by this cat is one way my daughter deals with many things in her life; you just have to accept it from the cat's perspective as well as my daughter's) 

Do not get me wrong, this is the most loving cat I have ever owned and I have had about fifty cats over my life, but this cat has chosen me and NO ONE ELSE, period.


... but this little dog seems to have chosen my daughter as the ONE human to identify most closely   with.  Obviosly I AM THE ALPHA.

But once we get all that shit straight, this awesome little dog has chosen my daughter as a familiar and they are seemingly becoming "Best Friends!"

SO what I am thinking is that I did GOOD by bringing just the right dog into this household. Actually it was my wonderful wife who found him and she was worried that I would not like him for being so small.

But hell, we live in the city. Any but a small dog would be miserable trying to deal with city living. I accepted him from a photo and then we went from there.

My daughter finally has a dog!!

Cats rule, but dogs just drool IMHO :P

Not a dog person at all, not in the slightest, although I am just as kind to a dog, as I would be to a cat, or even slugs, snails and earthworms, which if I see crawling along the pavement, in the road, or plonked somewhere they are in the path of crunching, crushing boots/car tyres I will go out, even in the pissing rain, to rescue and relocate out of the way so they do not get stepped on and suffer. But I did as a kid, take on a dog, sasha (same name as the last but one cat I had by coincidence) that the 'owners' neglected, from the look of her, didn't bother much with feeding and just left to roam loose out in the cold and wet, or baking heat of summer.

I was just little, but I was NOT going to stand for that, and I effectively stole her, unknown breed, but I'm certain there was quite a lot of rottweiler, and probably some dobermann in there, a fairly slim, yet powerfully built black and tan she-dog. She immediately started looking better after being taken in, and fed up, given proper daily exercise, after I confiscated the youngish dog from the former 'owners'

I doubt they were too pleased (if they gave a shitting gods damn at all), when they must have realized (formerly) their dog had been taken from them.

SG-well other people should do it too. But they don't. Doesn't matter if its 'just' an insect (or mollusc, if we are being pedantic), I don't see why they should not have the right to continue to live, and not to be left to die slowly and in pain. Had to pick up a bee the other day that was struggling to get off the ground, and lift it back onto a rhododendron bush in somebody's garden, growing beside the fence. If I'd left her there, then it was very likely she would have met a grisly fate on the sole of someone's shoe.

I like animals, and whilst I will buy meat, and kill animals that are within the capability of my weapons to take down in order to eat them if I cannot afford meat from the shops, I abhor cruelty and modern farming practices. It makes me really, really fucking angry knowing how what I have to eat is treated, if I haven't gone and shot it myself. Likewise dairy cows being kept continually pregnant to provide milk until they are worn out, and discarded to be sent for slaughter, which again I drink, as I do not have an alternative means of acquiring milk; I can't produce it myself.

Don't bother suggesting soy milk etc., its nasty. Tried it, when my lactose intolerant diseased cunt wipe of a former lodger was here, won't be trying it again.

But yes, I will go far out of my way to rescue trapped insects in the house, or elsewhere, and trapped, sick or injured larger animals I take in and rehabilitate whenever, and wherever I find them. I've had to dive into the road before to rescue a small bird that had seemingly flown into a solid object and stunned itself before a car would have hit it.

Had another incident with a little bird that something similar had happened to, flown into a bus shelter and knocked itself senseless, although still alive. As I soon found out, otherwise unharmed, or at least not seriously enough to impair it, once it had recovered from the impact. I'd scooped the little fella up off the pavement and tucked it up the softly-lined sleeve of my leather trenchcoat on my way to my doctor appointment. The bird, a sparrow, woke up mid-way through said appointment and went flying round his surgery like a maniac. Absolutely hilarious. Thankfully my doc saw the funny side of it, and whilst he did tell me not to bring animals with me to my appointments, he did seem to realize that I could not just have walked on by and left it where someone might not see it, or some abhuman piece of trash could even have deliberately stamped on it.

God help the bastard I ever find engaging in deliberate cruelty or neglect of an animal, because I damn well won't. That sort of 'person' sadly does exist. And all too commonly. Luckily for them continuing to be able to walk and eat solid food for the rest of their natural lives, its not something I often come across personally; but if I do, its something that will make immediately and unmistakeably clear that I can have far less regard for a human life than I would for the mistreated creature; as the injuries inflicted in punishment for such an offense are the kind that leaves the recipient crippled permanently.

I've ended up at various times with all sorts of unusual and interesting pets, such as a rook/raven (not sure which) that had been shot out of a tree, various other small to medium sized birds, lizards, even a baby hedgehog I found in a back alley as winter began to bite, poor wee mite was too small and had insufficient fat reserves to survive hibernation, so was taken in and kept awake throughout the winter, and of course had its needs seen to. Lovely little creature, cute as anything.

I can pick up a bee, to put it at a safer place, I'll revive the occasional hoverfly that gets itself trapped and dehydrated in my house (quite cute, how they change, leaving a minute bit of sugar, and a droplet of water within the reach of their tongue). I may pick up a worm that will not survive crossing a big concrete path. But I will not save a mosquito. If it outsmarts me, it will, but if I can preemptively kill it, I will. Same for ticks, (and for wasps, once summer is as good as over.)

Lovely little creature, cute as anything.

Your story about the bird reminds me of something. When I was walking to university one cold morning I found a little red belly snake on the side walk almost frozen. I picked up the poor fella and put him in the pocket of my wool coat. About half way through english class he got active and slithered out of my pocket...I had to excuse myself and take him outside. It was warmer by this time with a little more sun so I found a suitable spot outside and left the snake to slither on his way. He was a sweet, gorgeous little fella.

It makes me angry to know even where my vegetables/fruits/legumes/herbs come from. Sometimes large tracts of habitat are removed along with all the local flora and fauna to make room for crops...then on top of that pesticides are used with kill off many pollinators...something I find both ironic and telling. Food in general -even water- is provided to us via means that are less than ethical or considerate of other life on the planet...including our own lives.

The ignorance and destruction is mind boggling and I have given up trying to comprehend it. All I can say is that people should not complain about genetic defects, environmental pollution, cancers, or poor nutrition without realising we are doing this to ourselves quite willingly. They are natural consequences to our behaviours and lifestyles....so how can we pity ourselves at all?

Good to see you posting, bodie. Where have you been, I haven't seen you post lately. Or have I simply happened to miss the threads at times when you did?

Sg, good on you. And I agree, we as a species are pissing through our own letterboxes, asking how far it went, and then complaining when the carpet is soaked in urine.
We need to ditch the politicians of today, and move away from the politics of self interest and emotion. They are always doing it, appealing to the emotions of voters in order to secure their positions. Makes me want to vomit up a kidney. And towards the use of logic, with political greed slapped down HARD no matter where or in who it arises, nobody should be protected by their power.

And the result should be directed towards acting as the caretakers of our planet as a whole macro-ecosystem. We have for too long been dependent upon too badly polluting industrial practices.

My only conclusion is that we need me to be immediately installed as global supreme overlord of everything. Or if not me, than at least somebody autistic, intelligent and without the usual political anally implanted cranium.

Three?

Wow. What is the occasion?

I'll only have the day off on Thursday, but, since I'm not working on Fridays at the moment (apart from this week and last week) I'll be having a nice couple of days off in a row too.

We're going to London for four days. Flying tomorrow.

And yes, everybody has the day off on Thursday here, too, and the above should say four and not three.

Have fun. Bring an empty suitcase with you, for all the books and goodies you can't resist to buy.

Thanks. :)

I'm really looking forward to the trip. I'll bring my laptop, though, so I'll probably post anyway. ;D

:)

Perhaps you will find company. If I recall correctly, we have a few members in London. :spaz:

I don't know anyone who could afford to live in London  ::)

The elderberry flower syrup I just made is excellent.
The batch of last week, the flowers were still a bit too young to give full flavour.
Now I've got a great amount of perfect cordial. Just enough pollen to give it colour and taste, flowers just mature enough, and elder not in bloom long enough to be completely insect infested.

This is a pleased bovine here.

I'm using a recipe that does not need boiling. Makes it less durable, but the taste is more fresh, IMO.

It's simple, nice amount of elderberry flowers. (10 clusters of flowers at least, I use a lot more) 1 kg of sugar, 1 liter water, and the juice of a lemon, or a table spoon of citric acid.

Leave it to steep in a covered container for 24 hours, with occasional stirring if you like)

Then it is time to sieve and bottle it, maybe after adding a bit more water, if not all the sugar has dissolved.

It's great to drink diluted with water, or bubble water.

There are lots of other recipes to be found. I want to try another one that needs boiling, to get myself some syrup that lasts longer.

I like going for a bread to the bakery in my village. I love shopping for books. I like walking over a market, with lots of fruit and fabric stands, because the colours are nice, and people are easy to ignore in open air. Like that enough to remember the Campo di Fiori in Rome as a favourite place. 
But actual shopping, I hate it.
And, now that I work in a thrift store, I can almost completely do without. I just happen to bump into the things I need.

What if a historian became so incensed they carried out plans to assassinate peoples' graves?

Governments have posthumously executed the dead. :dunno:

Post by: DirtDawg on June 05, 2014, 01:27:59 AM

but, seriously...


I just watched while a three foot in diameter maple tree was dispatched. It fell for "no reason (except that it was very old and had become diseased)" and blocked the road where I  live. We heard it fall and had no idea what that "giant" sound was. 
It fell my way and came about two feet from my garage. There were seven cop cars there, maintaining "order"  waiting while the street department showed up. Funny thing; it took twenty five minutes for the first street department truck to show up.

Meantime, I met my new neighbors and had a conversation while we took pics of the OLD tree blocking the road. They had only lived there for thee months when they have to deal with this. They seem cool, though. Nice to have decent neighbors, really.

... but seriously, if they can laugh this shit off, then they just might be as cool as they seem.

Today, via email, I got the price bid back from the contractor that visited my place last week. He's going to replace the zinc roof gutters and replace the inside of the build-in toilet. The total summa is pretty decent but the price he asks for the toilet is a tadski high.

Should I ask an other contractor to make an estimate (bid) or just go with the older chap I already am a bit familiar with?

("

I had it in my garden, for a few years. Did not know it works well as a fertilizer. How do you have to prepare it for it to work?

Was just thinking I should make myself some brandnetelgier, because of some green lice liking some plants too much.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: lutra on July 14, 2014, 12:20:54 PM
^ The procedure is very simple.. and it's the same for comfrey as for the stingy nettle. Just stuff a bucket full with the plants (stem/stocks&leaves) and push down to make it quite compact. Fill the bucket with water.. most preferably rain water cos that's way better for plants than water out of the tap.. and store the bucket somewhere outside but in the shade. A month is long enough but a little longer is fine also.

Be aware that the comfrey/water mixture will become quite smelly.. quite nasty. Less so the nettle/water mix.

After said month you drain the brown-ish liquid through a sif and throw away the halfway decayed plant material. Collect the liquid in another bucket (or sutin').. and I store the stuff in bottles with a cap.

Oh, mind you.. one has to dilute the liquid! Do not use it undiluted! The ratio is about 20:1.. 20 parts water and 1 part of the ferti-liquid. I don't do the exact measurement myself but just pour a little splash in my full watering can and give that to my potted plants in the morning.

That's about it..

^ The procedure is very simple.. and it's the same for comfrey as for the stingy nettle. Just stuff a bucket full with the plants (stem/stocks&leaves) and push down to make it quite compact. Fill the bucket with water.. most preferably rain water cos that's way better for plants than water out of the tap.. and store the bucket somewhere outside but in the shade. A month is long enough but a little longer is fine also.

Be aware that the comfrey/water mixture will become quite smelly.. quite nasty. Less so the nettle/water mix.

After said month you drain the brown-ish liquid through a sif and throw away the halfway decayed plant material. Collect the liquid in another bucket (or sutin').. and I store the stuff in bottles with a cap.

Oh, mind you.. one has to dilute the liquid! Do not use it undiluted! The ratio is about 20:1.. 20 parts water and 1 part of the ferti-liquid. I don't do the exact measurement myself but just pour a little splash in my full watering can and give that to my potted plants in the morning.

That's about it..

Think I'll have to find another way to treat the lice. My garden is small, three neighbours adjacent at close distance. Smeerwortel- of brandnetel-gier is niet waar ze op zitten te wachten. I already got asked if I was storing wiet, because of a scent in the shed. So the year after that, I asked my neighbour if she was growing wiet in the attic.

The houses in the row I live are well sound insulated, as long as windows are closed, but very bad when it comes to scent insulation.

'T zal wel spiritus en groene zeep worden.

Or boiled nettle brew, it is said to smell less, and be ready way faster.

Hyke, you could douse the plants in a solution prepared from those E-cig nicotine refills, that should effectively exterminate the lice. Assuming the plants are not intended for eating.

Good tip with the comfrey, lutra, your right though, that stuff fucking stinks like ten tons of arse holes. I use the root of the plant sometimes as an add-on to my antiinflammatory NSAID spray, morphine, oxy and steroid shots that I take for my squirrely knee and hip joints/bursitis, although it can only be used externally, due to the presence of hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, sort-of related to the liver-destroying nastiness found in ragwort and the groundsels. Nasty shit, if consumed they can fuck up the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, cause cancer by buggering up DNA and worse besides, although absorbed very slightly through the skin, its only after the N-oxides of the toxic principles undergo toxification within the GI tract that they become toxic, so topical use of comfrey and the like should prove to be nontoxic.

Currently thinking 'jam filled cookies, yum!'

This afternoon, out of the blue, my laptop broke down. The thing is fucked up badly now.. and I'm typing this on an old HP laptop that has been reliable but too slow and noisy for my liking since 7 years.

First the screen went bonkers with the Asus laptop and produced bad contemporary art with lots of horizontal lines and colours. Then the light went out completely.. and dead it is now.

In the dark, not certainly knowing what caused this, I think the machina got overheated today. I was merely shouting in the box here on I² when it happened.

Again I lost my library of nice music.. this sort of shite harms me.

I didn't do anything wrong.

See about an external hard drive enclosure, Lutra; the old drive can be placed inside and files transferred to another computer. Some electronic stores also have tech services for pay, and will transfer data for about the same cost as buying an enclosure. Maybe a good idea to back up files on an external drive to prevent the need for transfer of that type.

Two craftsmen, I hope/trust, are dismantling the roof guttering at the moment. Quite noisy.. and I'm thinking of leaving this place. Mount my bike and head of to Tholen.. a village nearby. There's a good fishmonger there that serve nice dishes also. Take a nice book along and maybe sit in the shade in the harbour there. Me thinking..

I can't wait to try out the methoxphenidine I bought the other day (its a dissociative anaesthetic, potentially, given its structural similarity to lefetamine, with stimulant and/or opioid activity.

Been looking forward to it ever since I bought it.

Although I think I'll finish my drink (fizzy water flavoured with grapefruit and elderflower, lemon and lime, with lots of ice cubes) and finish my shot of morphine/oxycodone first. And methinks I would rather like a bong right now to help me cool off in this scorching heat.

Wish I knew where I'd put my sniff though, not got much left, but I'd made sure to save enough for a speedball when my scripts came due on tuesday.

If I can't find it though I might just go and pick up another gram. I'm rather partial to my speedballs, nothing else like it in terms of rush, especially the way I make 'em, using not just morphine or H, but that and some oxy thrown in the same rig before adding the coke. A nice fat speedball is just lovely when followed up by a bong packed full of top-notch skunk or hash :)

Just lurvely, and a way to pass the time in this heat, when I otherwise do not feel the slightest inclination to move a muscle any more than is needed to tighten a tourniquet on one's arm, register, remove tourniquet and push down on a plunger.

This is lazy fucking weather if ever there was any:P


And currently thinking, after opening the second of my two 8ths for the first time: ''hells fucking bells, this skunk smells absolutely wonderful''

If its half as good as the other half of my quarter (bought as two 8ths, but for the same price as a one-bag quarter) then I can't wait to taste it.

*packs bongs all round*

Made a courgette/pasta dish a couple of days ago. Put what I had left in the freezer.. am now thinking to harvest the next courgette of the plant and to add the vegetable to that dish. Um, how to do so?

Thinking about frying the veg (it's probably a fruit, I'm thinking now/it has seeds in it) in a wok with a shallot, extra glove of garlic, and then mix that with the leftover dish. Put it in the oven with extra cheese on top after that.

Hope the ordered door (the second of three) will be in soon. The weather this week will be good for me to first take a couple of centimetres off the bottom (with hand saw) of said door and then primer it and finish the door with an off-white-ish top layer of paint.

The first door (bathroom) turned out really nice/pretty.

We live in New Orleans and don't need to worry about evacuating with an animal.   (We're not cruel, but Martha did fine for 4 weeks outside for Hurricane Katrina until we could return home.) 

When PA dies, I'm thinking of getting a dog for each of us and not evacuating.

Flavoured cider is ok and I will drink champagne but I am not really an alcohol drinker (having an alcoholic dad kind of put me off).
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on August 16, 2014, 07:40:54 AM
Never tried sake. HATE cider though, its just rank. I do like a nice frosty pint of bitter though, forgot the name of it now but tried a local bitter-type ale on a day out hiking, that was absolutely lovely, had it with a bowl of (rather surprisingly fiery for pub grub) chilli, and before I know it both me and the old man had ordered our second pints.

For getting pissed though I just go with cheap vodka, doesn't cost much, tastes like arse mixed with paint stripper but it gets the job done. Shite downer though in general, too messy compared to most of the sedative/hypnotics other than barbiturates, that I've tried. Booze generally ranks way down there on my list.

Although absinthe was lovely, fucking strong stuff though, IIRC the absinthe I got to try from a friend was something like 80% alcohol, the sweetness and anise/other flavours mask the burn of the booze to a degree though. Tasty definitely, but can't drink too much, as it really packs a hell of a punch.

I don't like the feeling of getting pissed but I like the taste of alcohol, so I'm a one or two drinks at a time kind of person. Sake and cider are the best, though. I was visiting my friend in Seattle once and they have a pub that is totally gluten-free with fifteen or twenty different types of cider and perry on the menu. I had fish and chips (as close to the proper Brit kind as you're going to get on this continent) for the first time in years. It was pretty awesome.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on August 17, 2014, 03:19:20 PM
I've been meaning to try sake, but never seen it on the supermarket shelves, as yet.

I like bitter myself, although don't mind most lagers either. Prefer bitter though, although I am not too much of a fan of guiness. I like newcastle brown ale in particular.

Fish and chips is our national dish IMO, either that or possibly curry, I've heard we actually export more curry to india, than the indians make there or send here haha.

But a proper steaming plate of fish and chips is lovely, plenty salt and sometimes I'll throw on a splash of malt vinegar, usually I'll just have it heavily salted though.

Had roast chicken tonight, with a pot of strawberries and half a tub of triple chocolate choc ripple icecream, covered in dark, milk and white chocolate shavings and chocolate sauce. Was good, but I'm hungry again now.

I usually get it from Asian grocery stores or by going out for sushi and then smuggling the bottle out afterwards. Not sure how easy it is to find Asian groceries in the UK. Here you can find them in some large cities.

Yeah, theres a chinatown in manchester city center, I'm going to the city this morning actually to pick up a load of..err..goodies..for an all day/all nighter until my scripts get due on tuesday :D

Might pop in there see if they have any. Used to get mochi (rice-balls full of sweet bean paste or other fillings) from a chinese shop near where I went to college. Bought some durian fruit there too once, that after one exploratory bite, quickly got used to exact revenge on this BITCH of a tutor, who had humilliated this sweet young lass into breaking down in tears. I, along with many other people there were absolutely furious, as this girl was a sweet, quiet, gentle girl who wouldn't have hurt a fly, and never raised any trouble for anybody there. We weren't taking that, so me and my friend stuffed some durian up in the airvents at the base of the building, in the toilets, and some more in the bin in the classroom itself.

The entire building was evacuated, following a 'gas leak' although it hadn't GOT a gas supply connection to GO wrong, and we got the day off.

I don't know how southeast asian people describe the taste as 'sweet raspberry-pineapple-like custard', durian tastes just as awful as the potent, and far-carrying penetrating stench it gives off, like rotting garlic, onion, and with a heavy overtone of hydrogen sulfide/rotten eggs. Disgusting, I couldn't eat it, no way, its got to be one of the foulest things I have ever had the great misfortune to have tasted.

 :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: I have never eaten durian but I can only imagine.

I really like mochi, though, especially when covered in sesame seeds. I once had really exquisite cherry blossom mochi that contained the dried and sweetened flower and was wrapped in the leaf.

Yeah, mochi are delicious, used to buy them nearly every day for lunch, several packs worth, especially liked the ones full of sweet yellow or red coloured bean paste. Never had sesame covered ones, but I might just look when i go to town to score this morning and see if there are any, reminds me just how tasty those things are, I like the squishy-but-solid texture.

As for durian, trust me, you are best off never having tried it, and do not want to even inhabit the same building as an open package of durian, the stench REALLY carries, and is potent as hell. When the ones in the air-vents of my former 'college' started decaying, oh good GOD. The smell, there are no words to describe how toenail-shrivellingly hideous rotting durian is.

I've never eaten it either, only taken a bite and spat it out in disgust. The stories you hear about it, lies, all lies IMO. Nasty.

I think I'll go to the chinatown after I've picked up my goodies and done a few shots of ethylphenidate/and/or speedballs and see if they have any sake, as well as get some mochi for breakfast.

Do I have to give back the Stone of Scone.  Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.  It made sitting at the Coronation quite uncomfortable.

Thinking about how I finally told the doctor about my shoulder (which has been hurting for 5 months) and he wants me to go for an ultrasound on it. Don't really feel good about this as I have loads of scars from self harming on my shoulder and I will feel self conscious. But well, it has to be done.

Thinking about the weird dreams I had last night.

Did it involve corn?  :zoinks:

No, it involved the cinema.

So then popcorn?  :zoinks:

:P

Actually, I was supposed to work at the festival but could not be arsed and so gave away most of my shows. It's weird because I haven't let anyone else run a festival show there in 25 years.

Whyyyy is it coming out blue? It shouldn't be blue. The color should vary at least a little. It should be visible. I don't understand what I'm missing. I screwed something up somewhere. It can't be the math, I copied it character for character.

It's a good thing I have a sense of humour.

I picked up a prescription this morning.  The pharmacist said I had 2 ready.  No problem since I also pick up for PA and the PR.  I pay the bill and walk off.  I notice that one is for someone I never heard of and they are for the same drug, mine.  I go back and the pharmacist refunds me the $3.75.  I walk off and notice that she should have refunded me the $12.91 prescription.  Back to the counter and finally get it all sorted out.

Thinking about your low turnout rate.

Actually the turn out was respectable.  We had a hotly contested Senate seat which helped.  The rest of the ballot was a state utility board member, school board members, some local judges and constables, about 7 total local offices.  There were 14 amendments.  Without the Senate election we would probably been 30% turn out rather than the 50%.  Early voting (up to 1 week before election day) has cut down somewhat on voters on election day.

Sometimes I think it is all the PR and spin-doctoring that is causing the apathy.

Voters are kept dumb. What if spin-doctoring was stopped, and the political trade of debating, finding common grounds, giving in to gain something else became visible. It would become exiting to watch. And people would understand what was happening more. Voting would matter again, if politics were about the well-being of the country, instead of being about the glamour of the politicians.

A lot of it (for me) is that there is tons of negative politicking.  Just because your opponent lives in Washington (has a domicile here) in a fancy house doesn't mean he/she is out of touch.  Just because he/she voted one way on something might mean the vote was traded for something more important to this district. 

I prefer to hear solid answers that I can hold you accountable for.  Just because you call yourself a "*** doesn't tell me what you'd do to solve an issue.  I want to know how you'd vote to balance the budget (cut funding for libraries? give the army stick guns?, raise taxes?).

In America? Americans don't vote because, in many (if not most) national and statewide races, voting doesn't matter. Look at the Electoral College, and how a few swing states decide both the primaries and the national elections. Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29#Contemporary_conflict) Also, if you're interested, look at the spin doctoring that occurred during the early years of the United States of America, such as the Adams-Jefferson elections of 1796 and 1800 Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1800#Campaign), or Watergate for a more modern example. If anything, the campaigns have gotten less ruthless since the early days of the country.

To me, most of the voter apathy is caused by the entrenchment of political systems that don't serve modern America. Most of the systems for federal elections were developed back when "United States" was plural instead of singular. Individual states functioned more as sovereign nations than they do today, and state politics was correspondingly more important. Then we fought a civil war over states' rights, and the states began to subsume more power to the federal government. The "United States" became singular. Over time, the parties and the system have become so set that the people in power have little motivation to change it. In this system, so much is stacked against the average voter that there's little reason for many to turn out at the polls.

I don't want them to be in Hell. Just gone, for ever and ever, with no option of escape.

And in the back of my mind, I wonder, did they use kids to cause this massacre? Corrupting kids seems to be the new warfare.

No they used men. All this for revenge because Taliban soldiers were killed. Soldiers are supposed to get killed in war- thats why they join any military, to fight or be fought. There is no logic to this attack...you just do not kill children. Any general eager to win a battle knows that if you kill the enemy's children that will only embolden them. People will protect their children's lives before their own...they will fight mercilessly to protect their young. Taliban messed up bad this time. Pakistan already brought back the death penalty just for them. They have no more patience, and even Afghanistan reached out and will team up with them. Good riddance to the Taliban.

All this talk about religion on the board has got me thinking. When I was working I was asked at least four times from different people if I was religious and what religion I was. Why would they do this?

I was baptised Roman Catholic but that is as far as it goes. I try to be a good person and all but I am not religious in the slightest.

I worked with men the majority of the time and their jokes could be very dirty but they never refrained just because I was there. On the contrary, they used to try and shock me.

I only met one woman who was religious and she was very nice. However, she invited me to see a band called Jars of Clay. I went and thought they were good but near the end of their show they were like, "Raise your hands to God." Most everyone did but I didn't. The woman who invited me looked at me and said, "Go on." But my arms remained firmly by my sides. I think she was disappointed but I didn't see it as my problem. After that she still spoke to me at work but I didn't get invited anywhere again. Oh well!

Now I find myself thinking of my dad. In winters he had a radiation heater in the car, with extension cord. About an hour before he had to leave, he'd turn the heating on. He always had a defrosted car.

It is kind of cold here.

Looking at my deck mounted thermometer, it is eight degrees Fahrenheit, but the pisser is that my Escalade is completely frozen over, since I have not driven it in two days.

I am expected at work in three hours and I can not get into my car.

 :hahaha:

Blow dryer?

Maybe, but the latest horror I have to deal with is that I stepped on my glasses and broke the fuck out of them.


I can not work without my glasses.

Actually, by noon, I had new glasses with a new, updated prescription. (I had to spend a bit of extra money to get it done NOW!)

Interestingly, My prescription had not changed much at all, though. Eye doc said it was quite unusual for a guy, fifty nine years old, to have that kind of stability in his eyesight. My old prescription was two and a half years old.
She was able to correct my vision back to twenty:ten which is my normal vision after correcting for my astigmatism. The kicker was that my "up close vision/need for bifocals reading small stuff" had not changed either.

Anyway, I feel like a salty pig in warm muddy shit. Everything is beautiful!

No, this is just so I can graduate and get Bachelor of Psychology. I am not doing 4th Year Placement which is like work experience as I read the requirements for it and socially it is beyond me. Autism ftw hey. So I contacted the academic chair and she suggested that I do an Independent Study Contract. This means that I pick my own topic and write about it under supervision.

Concern about how she might react is probably more sensible than concern about how others at I2 might react. If you already have alternate means of contacting her outside of this site, would assume it's because she's trusted you to have that means. If not, then yes, maybe best left alone.

Should I track down cbc and see if everything is ok?  Would that freak her out and alienate me from the rest of I2?  Seriously.

I'd be fine with it. I'm worried about her.

Being super nosy might put off some members.  It might be thought of as stalking.

Hunt her down.

Everyone knows you'd make a lousy stalker, you're the best one for the job. :hug:

You inspired me to google him in Dutch spelling. Only two papers popping up with the autism story. The rest was about his politics and actions. Merkel, Ukraine, Crimea, possible placing of nuclear weaponry etc.

Funny, one of the two news sources mentioning it is the paper that has the most anxious readers. (They did research about anxiety levels in newspaper readers and their newspaper of choice, a while ago.) The Telegraaf won on anxiety. It is our Dutch mild equivalent of the Daily Mail, I guess. Sensation, gossip and right wing.
Still wondering why this had to be leaked into publicity now. The Pentagon thought it up around 2008.

Every year we get a few. The side roads are not the first priority, and there are a lot of them still heavily used, many of them with all there twists and turns are hard to keep clear even when they did give them priority.

Even here, with very little snowfall, compared to where you live, snow, black ice refreezing surfaces cause lethal accidents. Even more when combined with fog.

We were only dipping our collective big toe in the used car market water today, when my wife and I went car shopping for our son, but we came home with a (used, 2012) kind of awesome, fully loaded Chevrolet Traverse.

It is four wheel drive, SUV, Bluetooth, back-up camera, Bose sound system (600 watts. But, honestly, not bad at all and you can play it as loud as it can go and it will not hurt itself. kids - different story. Thankfully, my son is more into jazz and hates loud music), GPS, rear seat DVD players X two, tandem sunroofs, Notification/proximity sensors, heated and cooled leather seats,  twelve charge ports  about the interior, remote start, etc, etc.

I am thinking it will be weeks before I can understand the stuff this car has available, let alone use it proficiently.

I can see myself quoting from some "geek"  bible, "RTFM, kiddo!"

Yes, I do. Wallander had nice music. British crime series often have too. (Though midsummer murders always makes me think of British gardening programs and aspie unfriendly community fairs...)

Yep, Wallander had good music, and I love the end music for Broadchurch, both series...also Silent Witness, Holby City and Casualty... for me, with the latter two, it is the familiarity, reminder of past times.

Probably, but also I am stuck in a routine. I tend to just get stuck in a rut. I will try for a few days to get to bed earlier... I think maybe I just think there is nothing to bother getting up for. I also have OCD which tends to really steal time from me, making my bedtime even later. I then get really angry at myself for failing again to change the pattern.

7am is not an appropriate time to be going to bed. Must change it. Why is this routine so hard to get out of.

Because the world is a peaceful, beautiful place sometimes when everyone else is sleeping.

This is true. I have always seemed to have more energy from the afternoon onwards as well.

I'm not sure. From space society looks like synapses in the brain and that doesn't bother me. From a plane it looks like circuit boards.

My lack of any expert level knowledge on how either operate is probably fairly equal. A long time ago I had the inescapable notion of residing inside a fractal, so I don't find it coincidental that there are similarities in the appearances of conceptual images of the sub-atomic and atomic, microscopic, macroscopic, up to things too gargantuan for me to see without the aide of Hubble, and I think those perceptions are all relative to size and distance. They're also very natural, so Pyraxis' summation about my unnatural fractal placement within a machine was probably closer to the truth.  :-\

Having bored myself silly, ascertaining there's nothing worth watching on TV , and having berated myself for thinking it might be otherwise on a Suturday night, I put BBC new on , accidentally left it running  a few minutes too long, and got given a totally unexpected choice between watching "Match of the Day" or...wait for it...pressing the red button and watching Mogwai in concert.

Woot! Now I finally know what that red button is for :) It's a good gig too. :)

I tend to watch Casualty and The Voice, so those two keep me occupied, then onto Doctor Who.
I am sure I watch far too much mindless television and should be force feeding myself something more educational.  :lol1:

I know, my aspie ex often says that there is something very wrong about an industry making money out of crime...and he does not understand why so many abhor real life crime, yet happily watch crime drama on television. He himself has enjoyed a few crime series I have exposed him to, such as Broadchurch and the British version of Wallander. I certainly do some thinking about why crime is such a common interest... my mother has read crime novels as long as I have known.

Also have a lifelong interest in true crime and abnormal psychology, so can understand the discomfort that comes along with disclosing that. Sadistic is pleasure in inflicting pain and suffering, so no, not sadistic.

7am is not an appropriate time to be going to bed. Must change it. Why is this routine so hard to get out of.

Because the world is a peaceful, beautiful place sometimes when everyone else is sleeping.

This is true. I have always seemed to have more energy from the afternoon onwards as well.

i agree with all this :)

still, 7.am rise is a damned sight more convenient for many purposes  :LOL:

Did a rise two hours before the rest of the family for a while. Was even nicer than a really late tucking in, because of having had a good night sleep before.

Waking while the world is still hidden in the dark. Maybe I should get myself back to a bit of that routine. But with a daughter waking at 5:30 that is a bit hard.

Took our dog out about ten minutes ago. My deck thermo/baro/hygro unit shows negative seven degrees Fahrenheit.

Did I mention we just got a dog?

That's correct. Once made a thread explaining it a lot more, but later spazzed and deleted it. Have found myself regretting doing that, due to situations like this of having to explain it again.

Okay, this makes more sense now.

Nope, it still says two lefts up there.

Ohhhhh! you mean that boring old homile. Why would I want to quote that?  Besides, three wrongs don't make anything interesting. Although, hang on,  i suppose it  depends on what sort of wrongs they are...  :apondering:

Yup, three wrong turns might make a right .  :green:  (possibly)

And two wrongs don't make a right , obviously . They turn you round at 180 degrees...or, hang on,  maybe 90 degrees if they are small wrongs....n which case, that might , in fact ,  make  a right.  Gah, look how you've gone and complicated it.

Thinking about a weird dream I had last night.

In the dream, I had a heart attack and died. I was then resurrected on a Friday evening (yes, I got that from the dream!) and ended up leaving a party of some description, carrying my new telescope, still in its box. A friend helped me carry it and we ended up outside a mall that was mostly closed down, on a steep hill. I was worried since I had had a heart attack and died, and knew that my arteries were clogged and I could drop dead again any second. I climbed up and down the hill while my friend remained next to a store with the box.

He decided to open the box and assemble the scope, but he kept dropping the parts and had problems understanding the instructions. The tube was too narrow, which made me very upset and even more worried, so I kept climbing around. There was no way the telescope could have the right aperture.

He finally managed to finish building the thing, but the hill was too steep and we found ourselves on a beach instead, finally testing the scope. That was when I noticed that it was only a cardboard tube and the eyepiece was missing.

What the hell is Freud trying to tell me? :P

Climbing in a dream can denote a climb in consciousness. Your death and resurrection could mean many things...being resurrected on a friday is cool, because that is when the weekend begin and your time is for your own leisure. The heart is the place of emotions, fears, desires....So perhaps you are or will experience a shedding of a former life where certain life concerns are threatening to hold you back, and you will come into a more mature state of mind in greater awareness of who you are, and what your true passions are. Telescope...i would guess if it is something you value, you are inquisitive...and things won't make sense right away...and after going through so many complicated patterns of thought you will finally arrive at a more secure state of consciousness and realise how simple and silly things really are. A friend...means a helper...means you will have help thinking things through (this could be real life help, or metaphysical help, like a muse).

Police will be in the street soon, I guess. Heard a row, peeked outside, and grabbed my phone, when I saw the volatile man two houses away attack a man with a broomstick. Then noticed that someone else was already making a phonecall, so decided not to call.
They'll be here soon, I guess. The man and his father have a history of violent outbursts at will.

Regrets can come in small packages and can manifest over time. Fuck that. It is yours, now. Just use it!
Make sure you have a decent tripod, OK eyepiece (get some lens spray, in case it is cold), workable sky map (I recommend downloading a number of star charts onto a laptop that you take with you), choose your viewing evenings well and  just enjoy the damn thing, as my son and I did a few years ago.

Take along a snack and make a night of it.

On the twentieth of this month, I am taking my daughter to see one of her favorite bands, LIVE!!

Skillet performs LIVE in Indianapolis and I have tickets.

I want to see if they are really as good live as ...

Dunno. My daughter wants to see them. I know we will be 'christianized and witnessed to' before we are done, but, honestly, this a hard rockin' alternative band and my beautiful daughter loves them.

I am actually looking forward to it. It has been almost a year since I heard LIVE music. I am "jonesin'" a bit!!

I may be over my head!

No regrets. The scope arrived yesterday and I'm going to assemble it today. Of course, it is now cloudy, with some rain.

I'm really going to enjoy it. I haven't owned a telescope in years and have wanted a decent one for decades.

What did you get?

I bought my son a little six inch catadioptric Celestron, but living here in central Indiana it was frustrating for him. Every time there was some event or great view of a planet he really wanted to observe, it was cloudy. Going out in clear twenty degree F weather to explore the moon became a chore to him more quickly than I had planned.

Anyway, after a couple years, we gave it to a younger nephew. Last fall, after finding an accessory fifty-X eyepiece that I had bought to increase magnification (never used), the cousin/nephew was happy to have it and was still enjoying using the simple telescope.
They live way out in the "sticks" in northern IN and often enjoy cool clear skies with no city lights for miles. I can not imagine a better gift for a child who lives in a place where the skies are black at night.

Heaven help us.  I'm the tech expert in the Palace.  I traced the ding-ding-ding to a cell phone with a dying battery.  But I set the burglar/fire alarm off (we don't have a code to turn it off -- it eventually stopped), tracked the annoying noise to the bag of garbage ready to be thrown out tomorrow morning, sifted through the garbage, found the phone, determined that the screen was frozen in the locked position and took the damn battery out.

I haven't assembled it yet. I'm down with the flu and suspect it's a bad idea to even try while sick. I'll just drop things and regret it later.

I am fine, but I have two kids in the house who have been down with the flu.

I tried to send my son to school on Tuesday, but we got a call from the school nurse, requesting that we pick him up. He has not attended school this past week.

My daughter missed three days.

It is very difficult to leave for work and leave two sick kids in bed.

I have only had the flu three times, the second being the worst. I woke up fine and then felt like I was dying by the end of the day.

Because I have asthma, my doctor insists that I have a flu vaccination every year. The last sickness I had was laryngitis three years ago. Haven't been sick since. Now that I have written this I may get something.

If you're sick enough to post, trust me you don't have the flu.  With the flu I think I would have to die to feel better.  Just lay there and did nothing, literally nothing that involved voluntary muscles.

I kind of like the weird aches flu brings. Sometimes I state that I prefer a flu over a bad cold, because with a flu at least you feel ill all over, and not just drained, snotty and gross.

All those muscles and joints I'm only aware off when having flu, all the hair follicles that ache, I am in awe of all those things in my body able to present themselves undeniably, when I have the flu.

And then go for the necessary groceries, because the rest of the household is more sick, and has an even higher temperature.

Pills help to bring down the fever so you can post. But yeah, all I could do before that was to lie down and shiver but desperately trying not to, since it hurts.

The fever is returning, though.

Probably so.

There might be some substance to the Shaman words that you create your own universe with your thoughts.
I do know that when I pretend to "brag" about being healthy, I am soon struck down.

Coincidence? Not sure whether or not I believe in them, but I certainly believe in a form of synchronicity that seems to fall inline with a the PUREST interpretation of entropy.

I am hoping that my neighbor can find a use for some of the old classic gear I gave him.

... a stereo compressor (for finish mastering of recorded conglomerate tracks or output to a large "house" system - which means a stadium sized sound re-enforcement system if need be or just your own recordings), a single channel a digital delay with stereo outputs (capable of one one hundredth of a second delay all the way the a full second of delay, rollback, soundover and flanging effects, reverb, slapback, panning and chorus effects from even one note to a stereo output), a pair or single channel notch filters (tunable from fifteen hertz to fifteen kilohertz - one sixth of an octave bandwidth at up to twenty four dB down at the tuning frequency) and an old stereo or three-way crossover (settings from ten Hertz to ten thousand hertz) that will help him get a better sound out of his monitor's sub-woofer system ...


Honestly, I have not used this gear in almost twenty years, but he has a fairly cool little MIDI recording studio set up in his basement. He can get way more use from this gear than I ever will again.

... just do not get caught with porn up.


(obvious joke)

A bit ago, I asked one of our middle managers if he knew this movie. "No."  So, we went onto google to start a search (he was logged in and typing), we were on internet movie database  (IMBD) when he clicked on the actress we had not heard of, we instantly got "google images" of Kate Upton (which see).

It was actually funny, watching him try to close out those image sites, while trying to keep his composure, and STILL GET AN EYE FULL!

 :headbang2:


https://www.google.com/search?q=kate+upton&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=775&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Z_wRVfP5F8WkgwTA14HwCA&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ (https://www.google.com/search?q=kate+upton&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=775&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Z_wRVfP5F8WkgwTA14HwCA&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ)

... Obviously, it is NOT porn, but all of his clicks (being in management and all) are "watched" and actually keylogged.

I'm not sure if I'm keylogged or not (probably not, I don't see them wasting the server space/manpower) but our work filter closes out the strange and arbitrary things. Google image searches are left alone but it doesn't like the personal forum that WolFish and I leave messages for each other on, along the lines of "What do you need me to pick up at the grocery store?"

I keep half-expecting to get pulled aside by management about it and given the third degree. Broccoli is not technically a work purpose. Maybe they only really care about porn.

I'm not sure if I'm keylogged or not (probably not, I don't see them wasting the server space/manpower) but our work filter closes out the strange and arbitrary things. Google image searches are left alone but it doesn't like the personal forum that WolFish and I leave messages for each other on, along the lines of "What do you need me to pick up at the grocery store?"

I keep half-expecting to get pulled aside by management about it and given the third degree. Broccoli is not technically a work purpose. Maybe they only really care about porn.

Our owner supposedly reads people's email after they've left the company.

If you write them down, people might.
If you don't, reading your mind is hard for most. The ones that claim they can may ask you money for their trick.

The horror of memory strikes.

Had a neighbour who played Celine Dion all the time, and she sang with it. On top of that she had seven dogs without any control or real understanding for the critters. She'd shout at them all night long, banging with doors. That is if she wasn't banging customers.
Whole neighbourhood complained, then she started nightly harassing phonecalls and such. About 15 years ago, she finally got evicted. Sometimes Celine Dion invades my head though, through musac.

Cool, it would give you a better working environment while you were looking for a permanent position. Or they might decide they like you that much and want to keep you on.

Nope, clearly anyone who wants to commit suicide is so far gone they think nothing of taking 150 people with them.

I don't follow the news anymore, but I'd assume the answer is yes for both cases. Fox News probably blames it on Islam and/or Liberals though.  :headhurts:

No, no mentioning of any kind of autism.
Active social life in his flying club. Denial about healthproblems and ignoring that he was not allowed to fly anymore. Maybe in the need of doing something "big". But no autism related ideas.

I buy a local paper for 0ne dollar and it takes me 5-10 minutes to read max.  Carla likes to keep buying it for the crossword puzzles.  The Sunday Boston Globe is 4 dollars, I would stop buying that, but, it's the only comprehensive paper of the week.  <sigh>

Newspaper article I read today.

Apparently 0,3% of plane crashes are likely suicides. Mainly small planes. But, with pressure getting bigger on pilots, that may change. There are theories that that missing Malaysian airplane also could be a case of suicide.
Compared to that: 2 to 4 % of deadly car accidents are probably suicide driven.

Sometimes ways to create havoc, or damage, in an effective, anxiety inducing, yet anonymous way enter my mind. Not that I want to do it, just the theoretical option is there, and gets thought through.

Sometimes it pops up in conversations, and people are kind of shocked by it that I think things like that, because overall, most of the people have more violent tendencies than I have. But they do not have the macabre thoughts. I find that weird. But they think that about me, so, we're even. Maybe it is good that they do not have the thoughts, because they have the urges. And for me it is the other way around.

(Today the thought on how to infest a whole area with bed-bugs, without getting caught, entered my mind.)

Can't be arsed to scour the news or this forum, but did anyone try to somehow blame asperger's for the germanwings thing, or did they jump right to depression turning people into murderers?

Nope, clearly anyone who wants to commit suicide is so far gone they think nothing of taking 150 people with them.
Yup.  Depression = sociopathy.   :facepalm2:

Newspaper article I read today.

Apparently 0,3% of plane crashes are likely suicides. Mainly small planes. But, with pressure getting bigger on pilots, that may change. There are theories that that missing Malaysian airplane also could be a case of suicide.
Compared to that: 2 to 4 % of deadly car accidents are probably suicide driven.

Look what Turkish airlines  (http://www.ibtimes.co.in/after-germanwings-tragedy-turkish-airline-ceo-advises-single-pilots-get-married-629564)is taking as precautions.

Quote
In light of the Germanwings tragedy, where the co-pilot deliberately crashed the plane into the French Alps, Turkish Airlines CEO has advised all new pilots -- men and women -- to get married, in a desperate attempt to avoid any 'reckless' behaviour in the future.
Turkish Airlines CEO Wants Pilots to Wed
Turkish Airlines CEO Wants Pilots to Wed Reuters File

THY CEO Temel Kotil has recommended to all unmarried pilots, who were part of a group that completed its training, to get married at the earliest. Speaking to some 86 newly trained pilots, Kotil said on Thursday that pilots' lifestyle' was critical in preventing them from falling to destructive behaviour.

Referring to last month's Germanwings crash, Kotil said it 'taught' him some important lessons. "The accident is said to have occurred after the co-pilot who caused the crash broke up with his girlfriend. So, friends, please know that we advise single pilots to get married," Kotil said during the meeting.

"Therefore, I am guiding those who are single towards marriage from this podium," he added with a smile, reported Associated Press.

Andreas Lubitz, the Germanwings co-pilot who killed 150 people on board, was reportedly receiving psychiatric counselling till the day of the crash, following a break-up with his girlfriend, whom he was planning to marry next year.

Meanwhile, the investigators recently found the second black box from the doomed Germanwings Airbus A320. It confirmed that Lubitz repeatedly accelerated the plane's descent into the French Alps.


Wonder if a break-up will become a breach of contract thing soon.  :nerdy:

Some of them are.

About half of the relatively serious ones see me as a potential customer. They want to sell me their services (document conversion, proofs, etc). There are a few who are legit, though, and in the same field as I am.

Interesting! Well in that case I highly recommend you visit Hawai'i & Philippines. I've never been there, but they seem to have a lot of living volcanic history in the cultures. I know a Hawai'ian dude that photographs faces of Kupuna he sees in the stones on his walks. The stones are mainly of volcanic origin, and the faces are very distinctive.

Thinking about the people in Nepal...many are waking up after a night of sleeping outdoors.

Waking up to razed towns, broken roads... not the usual hustle and bustle of morning business... instead, eery silence in places, interrupted by sirens, shouts of rescue workers, helicopters, someone crying.

Waking up hungry and thirsty, wondering where to find water and food...trying to make sense of various word of mouth reports and rumours as to where and when aid is distributed.

Waking up to search for family members and friends...making sure they are nearby...worrying about someone who no one had heard from...chatting about where others may be...chatting about where others were found.

Waking up to pass by a familiar places, now leveled...peering into piles of rubble in case someone was still in there....shifting bricks and boards...looking for food...for clothes.

Waking up to journey to the places where the dead are laid out in neat rows...to walk up and down the lines of bodies, to see each washed face up close....hoping, praying, feeling.

Thanks for posting that. That's an American folk song from the twenties. Certainly doesn't have the same feel to it with the banjo element removed. This is the original. It's been re-done a few times, but the other remakes still have that folk sound.

By original, meaning the original recorded rendition. The song is so old, there's some dispute of it's origin. There's claim it belongs to not Boggs, but to Lloyd Chandler, while also claim of not belonging to Chandler, but to Cecil Sharp. It's use in the movie, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, made it popular, and what sparked my own interest years ago. Personally like that particular version from the movie, and that of Chandler, with the eerie a cappella tones of old men. The video you posted is by far the best version heard done by a female.

People are massive copy-cats. Sometimes that is helpful, sometimes not.

There is a massive pile of plastic waste down by the road today. Only near my block of houses. My first reaction: "damn, I forgot". Second reaction: "No way, it is Thursday, they never collect plastic on Thursdays". So I am one of the few not having my plastic out today, in this block.

The other week, after getting notice the places to place the rolling bins had changed, it was my block still using the old place. Because if one does it, all the others will follow. I was one of the few with an empty bin at the end of the day.

Funny thing, this whole pile of plastic waste is in the wrong place. Stupid people. It may be there for weeks now.  :facepalm2:

Thinking how ignorant and veritably annoying the average person can be.

I was excited when I found this info about Steinway having created their six hundred thousandth piano since the mid eighteen hundreds:

(http://www.steinway.com/images/pages/Fibonacci_TopLid_HiRes.jpg) (http://www.steinway.com/news/press-releases/steinway-sons-marks-a-historic-milestone-with-the-unveiling-of-the-companys-600000th-piano/)


... and when I went to try to share my excitement with a co-worker (who was also a musician, btw or at least, so I thought) about this amazing accomplishment and the creation of the "Fibonacci" in honor of the event (it took a bit more than four years to create, from what I learned in the back story) all she said was, "in so long, that's not very many pianos."  FUCK!!    (Actually it is fucking incredible if you give a moment's thought to the prospect.)

I reminded her that every single one, since the very first, were all hand made, BUT ...

She did not even know what a "Fibonacci sequence" made reference to when I asked if she had thought that the design was as "cool" as I thought it was. Then I asked her if she had read about the artist's intentions, she just said, "You wanted me to read all that?"

I often give people too much credit due to us having shared one or two things in common.

Maybe I am the idiot for expecting "so much" or even anything from another with whom I shared my interests.
 :hahaha:







edit:

Sorry, I did not have the linkage done right at first.

You are smart, though. 
Hard to even imagine that many have been created.

I read where around five thousand have been lost to natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes and over eight thousand have been lost to man made disasters, such as fires and buildings collapsing. That is only the documented losses.

Okay, I'm impressed.

Odeon's gonna kill me, but I actually recently bought an armchair similar to this one (http://pollaro.com/print/?item_id=1294) for our living room... from IKEA. The IKEA one looks like this (http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/S89829138/#/S69830595). I've got no defense except I can't afford the original and I have no wood shop at the apartment.

I really love the Pollaro natural slab tables. Someday. I wonder what it costs to ship such a beautiful slice of redwood or whatever other gorgeous wood they are. The base would be easy enough to build by hand.

*drools* (http://pollaro.com/print/?item_id=1323)
Okay, I like this one too (http://pollaro.com/print/?item_id=1209)

really sweet and kind of stupid. She didn't take good care of herself we were going to take her to San Francisco but she  kept getting sick and ending up in the hospital. The place she stayed at had bed bugs because the guy who ran it was too cheap to do anything other than spray for them whic just agitated them and made them bite her. He should have thrown out the mattresses and had the house fumigated. The hospital reported his shitty place.

Interesting progression of posting styles.

I am going with Hyke, here, since I do not even know the person we are talking about.

Please, enlighten me.

We had house guests and I wanted to kill them.

I didn't tell him I was going to the grocery store since I didn't want to wake him up (it was 10 o'clock).  He got up and saw the light was off in my room and that the front door was unlocked, so he locked it, both locks. 

I had two armfuls of bags.  Ain't love grand?

Note to self:  next time wake the bastard darling up.

Appearances can be deceiving.

Met an older guy on the bike trail yesterday...in his late 70's, a little out of breath he stopped for water while we were gazing at the river.

Thought...well he's almost at the 3 mile mark, wonder how far he'll go?

He rides 35 miles, has close to 5,000 miles on his present bike. We drove to the trail, he biked there by the highway.  :zombiefuck:

He started out ahead of us on the way back, I saw why he was out of breath. He rides like the wind.

Amazing, the amount of check-up bureaucracy there needs to be, begin this school year. I get that they want to make sure there is no fraudulent use of supporting measures for kids needing them. But combining various check-ups would be more economic, money wise, time wise and stress wise.
Few more things to go. One invitation is in, the other two will follow soon, no doubt.

Kid is in a partial program this year instead of cyber schooling. Part of the program is group therapy.

You would be surprised how many kids in his program have admitted to thinking about it...either because they were being teased by other kids or because they just couldn't keep up with the work and pressure to maintain there grades at home.

Obama's "no child left behind" bullshit and the state mandated testing has done nothing but increase the local dropout rates and produce teachers that no longer give a shit because they are racing to keep up the pace that the state now sets for these kids.

I am actually thinking about how awesome I can make Halloween for the kids who "dare" to approach my house this year.

Older kids are used to my massive trash bag spider I make every year (full bag for the abdomen and a half stuffed one for the cephalothorax with huge bent sticks for fangs, these little stupid electric candles you can buy for the eyes)  stuffed with leaves, sticks covered with trash bags for six foot legs (the length of a trash bag split and folded out then twisted around a limb or two or eight as it should be)

Last year I had a two hour audio disc of Halloweeny sounding screams, howls, chains rattling, tortured souls, ugly noises, etc. MP3s set to play outside through some of my "old, but you will not ever find anything new that is better in any way" JBL loaded speaker cab. Only problem was that it turned out stormy and I did not want to take my very valuable vintage gear out into a storm AND I did not have a back up plan.

 This year, I am going to start with my back up plan. Instead of endangering my vintage gear, I am going to use some old car stereo stuff (honestly, which kid will know that I was not using my top grade gear to be freaky.) and set up before dark and rock out some ghoulish noise for a couple of hours.

Russia bombing Syria

Deadly stampede in Saudi Arabia
Oregon mass shooting

Plus its been cloudy, raining, and very cold the past few days with strange happenings...such as a fighter jet flying close to the ground sounding like bombs going off.

No it wasn't my usual clock. I had an old Ipod that I plugged in to charge and the time was off and I didn't realize it, so it said 5:42. But then the second time I looked, I looked at my actual clock and got the right time. :laugh:

When I was a kid, I literally could not eat green peas and I would refuse. I had to STAY until I finished them. If my mom had not given in, I would look like that.
If I ate peas, I threw up within five minutes or so.  NOW, I love them, but as a kid it tasted like I was eating vomit. I could not take it.

I do. I like a lot of other types I just don't like peas on their own. I like them mixed in with things (I add them to my Indian curry) but I don't like them individually. It's a texture thing.

I love the texture of canned green peas. I do not like the texture of frozen green peas. But, mixed in, I may even prefer the frozen ones.

Actually I love them, now. Enough so that I invest a great deal of effort to prepare an eight foot bed to grow them every spring and fall in my garden. I have some about knee high now. (did you know that many varieties are somewhat cold hardy? YES, I am usually harvesting fresh peas after the first few hard freezes) I know it does not sound like much of an investment to someone with a large garden, but my garden is very small. I grow multiple varieties to extend the harvest period.  I get what I can out of my city garden.
They no longer taste like vomit to me. I generally start picking them when they are immature, like snow peas.

I grow multiple varieties to extend the harvest period.  I get what I can out of my city garden.
They no longer taste like vomit to me. I generally start picking them when they are immature, like snow peas.
That's very impressive. I've always wanted to have my own vegetable garden but I'm no good at it. I don't have any innate knowledge or talent. Plus I have two massive dogs who have an all natural diet and they would view it as a self serve salad bar. :laugh:

And so it has begun, my inlaws are on their way to their olde (fairly new, actually) Kentucky Home!  A candle has been lit for their safe travels and arrival.  The good news is that they will be living next to one of Carla's sisters and her husband came up to drive on of their vehicles down.  Another sister in law lives just about 15 minutes away.  And there will be lots of grandchildren to cheer them up as they settle in!   8)

The nightmare of cleaning, organizing, packing, sorting, a large basement, 3 large barns :poo: and 50 odd years of stuff is OVER!   :asthing: :worship: :2thumbsup: :green:

Why do people complain that there's nobody out there willing to help their kid, after I've given them (on numerous occasions) a list of people happy to help their kid? AND I even spoke to said people directly who said absolutely we will help. But parents don't follow through and then kid doesn't get help, then parents complain. :GA: No more helping you.

Indeed. It feels different in Canada today. We were desperate for a changing of the guard, so to speak. Now to see what comes of it.

I'm also keeping an eye on the US election. I have a feeling something drastic will happen. It feels like the political system there is very broken at the moment and will self destruct before it's put back together again. There is some scary business going on with the Republicans.

And it's been going on for months already.  We have national elections every two years, presidential every four, and presidential candidates now start running as soon as the mid-term elections are over.  A full two years in advance.  If you have ever wondered just what it is that makes the US so fucked up, this is it.

A politician from when I was a small kid died yesterday.
It made me think about elections when I was little.

It was about party programs and not about persons.
The election-pamphlets showed party logos or other illustrations, not the people on top of the list.
It made the elections less hectic, cleaner, and it brought more creativity in the billboard posters.

That's what I was thinking, this morning. And reading this thread, I thought it again.  :laugh:

Thinking about a village not far from where I live. There's a boy there who has been battling cancer for 5 years. He will die before Christmas, but Christmas was his favourite season. So his family asked the village if people would mind putting up their Christmas lights in October.  The village not only did that, they held an entire Christmas parade for Evan, covered his yard in snow. The whole village rallied around "One Last Christmas."

No. The stairs are just behind their door so it's easy to peek in as you walk past and see that they're completely bare pine at the moment. The carpet is draped over a table in the rain.

All my neighbours are interesting. My next door neighbour who moved in recently is a gay hairdresser and there always seems to be different cars outside. I can't figure out if they're hair clients or Grinder dates :P

Then there's Mr McSpew in unit 2.

Then there's "Sammy Wammy" and her pampered pooch in unit 3.

Then there's the Charles Manson doppelganger in unit 4.

Then there's the lady in unit 1 with the hikikomori like son who I've only seen 3 times in the four years I've been there (he can drive though).

Ok, here is mine:

Quiet guy with a Jack Russell in unit 2 (I have seen the dog poke its head under the gate).

Quiet man and woman in unit 3 - that is until they get their 8 or so grandkids to stay over every school holidays who totally run amok up and down the driveway.

Mother and daughter in unit 4 - they are both old and they are both named Gladys. They call me by a shortened form of my name which is annoying.

There are only 4 units where I live, thankfully. I am sure glad I don't live next door to a Mr McSpew. :sick:

Quiet man and woman in unit 3 - that is until they get their 8 or so grandkids to stay over every school holidays who totally run amok up and down the driveway.

Mother and daughter in unit 4 - they are both old and they are both named Gladys. They call me by a shortened form of my name which is annoying.

There are only 4 units where I live, thankfully. I am sure glad I don't live next door to a Mr McSpew. :sick:

Like clockwork at 1-2am he's in his bathroom making gross...vomiting sounds with his bathroom window wide open for all to hear. I never have my window open when I sleep now, to muffle the noise. Which reminds me I need to buy a new pedestal fan, because with the window closed it gets a little stuffy and hot in my room during summer.

Reminds me of my former cat.

He was a master in getting abscesses. Vet in the end did not even want to see him any more if I called. He'd just as: "Can you get it open yourself?". If I confirmed, he'd tell me to collect some anti-biotic. Often enough for more than one treatment, thus saving me costs. That cat did not heal without anti-biotic treatment.

I know. It will be way more different when she will move out.

Funny, I had been living on my own for a few years already, before becoming a legal adult. Back then the turning point was at age 21.

What has changed is that the income of parents can get lower when kid turns 18, and that kid still in school has to apply for a state allowance. Making them more independent from parents, but also teaching them right away how to get a state allowance. Weird.

So do potatoes.

They are harder to dig out from the hills.

And the corn has ears :zoinks:

If you want to freak out some youngsters tell them that they eat grass.  They'll deny it, but wheat, rice, corn are the most commonly eaten grasses.

While your new cat has the knack of purring, naturally, do you as a lowly human servant to her every whim possess the wisdom and knowledge as to "Properly Purr" (notice the use of the word "purr" as an action verb) your eternally elevated, highly vaunted and graciously esteemed Royal Cat Majesty?

Sirius stopped his massive purring a few months ago. He used to be a dominant purrer. I would hear him barge into my bedroom, because of his almost threatening purr. It would wake me up.
Now he purrs maybe once every other day, for a short period of time. He still loves the cuddling, he loves placing himself on top of people and let his big body become a viscous mass dripping to all sides. But his magnificent purring days are over.
He also got his first white moustache hair. He started having cranky old man moments too.

His change of behaviour collides with the arrival of two ball-bearing male cats in the neighbourhood.

wondering why CBC hasn't resurrected the "what are you eating thread" in time for me to post the pic of my exquisite liver and onion dish - Py had some and said, "I didn't know you could cook liver like that." She asked for a sliver, and then she had another, and another and another.

  I'll see if I can find it.  Do you have any more liver to cook?  :orly:

Revive the right one. There are two. One of them makes some people here cry.  :tinfoil:

  Classified government-type ... stuff.  I dunno.  Anything for the pension!  :dunno:
FWIW, I generally hear that government jobs are fucking miserable to work at.  If that helps with the regret.

Time to find out what you want. Maybe by looking at texts and pictures and pile what you'd like, love, hate, are indifferent to. And then find out what in the pile of what you love and like you'd like to do.

Start with a small project you'd like to do.

Wondering if I did something stupid, just now. I wrote an email to a local newspaper, about the cinema and the organisations that are destroying it.

  Speaking your mind is brave!  :viking:  What's the worst that could happen?

They published an article today. :orly:
Recalling you posting last year about getting flack for smearing the festival on facebook. Would it be easier to never return if the decision were not your own?

Probably. I wrote some good stuff about the festival again. ;D

Are there sentences you are particularly proud of?

Odeon should post the article in the Goteborg Postern and translate it.  He's on page 46.

You've been paying attention. ;D +

You're almost there.

Where are you now? 9 posts more would have brought you that 44,400. And those 44 extra would have been easy.


It's scary to think that I have reached over 75% of your postcount.

Post Weeble, post like the wind, or my postcount will scare me even more.

There's a domestic house spider (barn funnel weaver) in my bedroom at the moment. Caught the same chap in a glass a week ago and released him on my balcony after that. Um, I could do the same thing again this evening but this night the temperature will drop towards p/m -5°C. Seems a bit cruel to do to cold-blooded creature.

Just read that this type of spider can 'bite' but they tend to not be aggressive towards human beings.

I'm not nervous or afraid for this fellow but.. I do think I'll remove him from the ceiling above my bed when he decides to stay there any longer.

Plus, probably the T on my balcony doesn't go that low (< -5°C).

  I'm thinking I might start to use 10-point Georgia font instead of 11-point.  It's one of the default
   settings, so it would save me time, and it's better proportioned to the more delicate smilies.  :apondering:

  I will be open to using different fonts and sizes according to the smilies I choose.
  This will potentially improve the look and readability of my posts.  We'll see how it goes. :heisenberg:
Your font is part of your voice. Though the difference of 10-11 point probably wouldn't change that. Other font styles do change it.

  I agree.  :)   Sometimes the 10-point is better, with daintier smilies.  But I do like having my own look.

Thinking this is the shit: RE: sign of the times.. (where?  :autism: )

DIE GEDANKEN SIND FREI.

Dig not, I don't care.

Die gedanken sind frei, wer kann sie erraten..
Sie fliegen vorbei, wie nächtliche schatten..
Kein mensch kann sie wissen, kein jäger erschießen..
Mit pulver und blei, die gedanken sind frei.

Ich denke was ich will, und was mich beglücket..
Doch alles in der still', und wie es sich schicket..
Mein wunsch und begehren, kann niemand verwehren..
Es bleibet dabei, die gedanken sind frei..

Um, the first two verses of an old Germanic poem/old song lyric thingy/prae 1800/still anno 2016 going strong, imo/significant..

FWIW, I generally hear that government jobs are fucking miserable to work at.  If that helps with the regret.

  Thank you, it does.  I'm really too young to retire anyway.  :)
Not with the current state of things... they're pushing for a lot of early retirement in government jobs right now.  Doesn't mean it would have necessarily been worth it, though, still.  The push for early retirement is putting a lot more pressure on the people who remain.

Thinking about making myself a serving tray (for a couple of days now). Not that hard to make, you might think. Fair, but I won't allow myself to buy some new pieces of wood for there's too much 'rest' wood in the garage and carport already. Have to make due with what's there.

Um, makes it a taski more difficult..

Shitty thing is that the thin multiplex I have laying around, other than the too thick multiplex, is 'oldfashionedly' dark oak varnished and tjah, that's so 1960s.. and trying to sand it off is a total no-no. Kha-razy.

Um, bet I'm going buy some new wood/m.plex in the end here.

Thinking about the O2 arena lights.

Why are you thinking about that?  :orly:

I can see them from my flat and they look a bit odd.

I just googled it and yeah, it looks like a cake with big birthday candles sticking out the top.  :lol1:

There's also what looks like giant TV screens around the thing. It's a very odd building.

Some of the arenas around here have large screen viewing areas outside the building too.  :orly:

I had the weirdest dream last night. I was at a hotel with a woman and her brother. They had their own adjacent rooms but for some reason I took a shower in his which was set up oddly. The shower was in the bedroom and had a lot of space. He walked in with a woman he wanted to get laid with and was teaching her French, so I had to leave. I wasn't even embarrassed I was naked  instantly I was dressed again and my hair was only damp. A friend of his sisters was crying because she had feelings for him but he didn't seem to notice her because she looked like a kid. His sister was comforting her. Later I'm dreaming of an 80's black sitcom that never existed and the matriarch is in this PSA warning of the dangers of wearing bright clothing on or near streets because it attracts cars to run you down. Later she and other black performers are doing martial arts forms in bright orange costumes.

Oh my! that was a fucking relief!  just had my first proper shot of morph today, all day. I didn't have one this morning, or during the day. Did have (forget which) either 30 or 60mg before, but thats it, oxy, yes, but barely a shrivelled up drop of piss in the  Styx worth of morphia. My hips were howling their displeasure at that fact from the rooftops.  But just had one, a nice decent one too at 300 of morphine and 20-30 of oxy, which REALLY hit the sweet spot nicely. From 'red hot bricks driven in like nails using a hammer covered in battery acid' to 'AAAAAHHHhhh...MMMmmmDAMN! THAT, IS. SO DAMN NICE!'

You are making me want to find a copy of breaking bad S1 via torrent and download that.

Think it would appeal to me, CBC, or do you think I'd be more likely to sit at the computer screen, noting anything in error, technique wise, and doing that thing trek nerds etc, and whovians do, where they can't help but keep going 'but it works THIS way, not quite how he's doing XYZ' or 'would have got a better yield by trying.......*insert procedure here* or 'but if he only were to try THIS reagent instead of or alongside the thing being cooked up, it would go quicker/scrub pig-attracting lab-smells.

The kind of thing where trekkies would insist on working out the physics of things and how it would/wouldn't work/would go better/worse ?

CBC, in breaking bad, is the guy solely a meth cook? or does he get up to anything more exciting? I wouldn't mind copping a look at a Birch-Benckeser reduction in use though, does it feature at all?
(its the so-called 'nazi method' for making methamphetamine from ephedrine or P-fed, anhydrous ammonia is condensed into a cryogenic liquid from the gaseous variety, or stolen, in the US, often from farmer's tanks of fertilizer (not that I'd steal from a farmer, they are under no obligation to help me, if I wanted to make some meth, or to provide me with annie at all for that matter), and then lithium metal, commonly scrounged out of batteries, is then added to produce the socalled lithium bronze, a deep blue colored solution, although the scientific term for the solvated-electron soup you end up with, or rather the compound formed by the alkali metal in anhydrous ammonia itself, is known as an 'electride'  and then the substrate, such as ephedrine or p-fed is added, reducing either one to meth quickly, and much, MUCH more cleanly than doing the ol'  iodine or hydriodic acid/red phosphorus (or phosphorous [not phosphoric sadly] or hypophosphorus acid may be used instead of red P, although afaik those can't be recycled and reused unlike the more-or-less, almost catalytic action of red P, which works by forming first, in-situ, phosphorus triiodide, that iodinates the alcohol on the sidechain of eph or pseudo, then the HI, either formed from the I2/hydrolysis of the phosphorus iodide, phossy halides don't play well with water, you just get hydrolysis to the hydrogen halide, and HI is a powerful reducing agent, the active species  doing the actual reduction in the phossy/iodine cooks, the phos compounds acting to continuously form, break down into HI, and allow its continual recycling in a catalytic chain, although as I understand, it isn't a TRUE catalyst, technically, in that some is lost, just not much, and over time you do need to buy some more, you can't use the same lot literally forever, but you DO get quite a few reactions out of any one quantity)

It isn't what you could call a pretty or elegant way to do it though, HI/RP reduction is more or less the equivalent of using a hammer to bash screws into something for an electrician or carpenter, and its more or less similar in concept. A sledgehammer to squash a mosquito sat on one's wall. Works, sure, but it can be too aggressive. And form a lot of nasty byproducts too.  Which is why I'd love to try a Birch-Benkeser some time, have heard that subjectively the result produces FAR less hangover and is infinitely cleaner feeling compared to crystal made using the irish screwdriver of a HI reduction. Eschewing eph/pseudo cooks altogether though, can be done via 1-phenyl-2-propanone (aka 'PMK' P2P' 'BMK') and reductive amination of that using methylamine, or for something a bit smoother and less usual, ethylamine to give one N-ethylamphetamine, which is actually quite nice, compared to meth, its a fair bit less jittery)

As far as P2P cooks go though the reduction is achiral, at least with any commonly used techniques so the result is racemic meth, D,L in equal or more or less, proportions compared to just D-meth from ephedrine or pseudo. D-meth, is active, and sought after. L? not so, in fact its OTC in the US in some cold inhaler products as all it does is act as a decongestant via inducing noradrenaline release, making racemic meth jitterier than that from reducing pseudo/eph. Although I don't lay claim to the route as a speciality in the least. Here we do not have to show ID, or prick a finger and place our mark in the devil's black book before a pharmacist will sell. Limit is a box per transaction, but its per transaction and just don't go take the absolute piss to a disrespectful extent, I.e don't treat the pharmacist in a way thats just insulting their intelligence. No monthly limit, no cross-premises communication. So its a matter of how far someones willing to walk round different premises, and how slim or fat one's wallet is which dictates availability.


Also, thinking shit, that was too close, I just drifted off a little to sleep for a microsecond or two, not fully asleep, awake enough to realize that muscles relaxing were about to send my laptop crashing down to the floor, and trying to pull myself back awake again. Got there just in time, with two-three fingers of one hand staying to pin the computer down to my knees (lying in bed, knees bent up, reclining)

Wondering if I've got enough appetite for a custard donut from the bag sitting on my bedside table/cabinet or if all I feel like is a cold drink. The latter I think, I would LIKE a donut but I don't think I have room inside right now.



NOT that I'd use a TV show as a guide , but heh, could be fun to have it on to watch in the background whilst doing a cook. I bet there have been loads of cooks done that, assuming such people would find it entertaining, to make life imitate art, as they say.

  Well, he starts out cooking with cold medicine provided by his young partner Jesse's  "smurfs"
  (suppliers), but soon Walter switches to methylamine as his precursor of choice.  As for exciting stuff
  other than cooking, well, yes, he's a major new player in a drug scene dominated by the Mexican cartel,
  so he quickly has to learn to play hardball.  You should definitely watch the show, maybe critique the cook,
  and enjoy the dark humor and great writing and acting.  It's a hell of a ride!  :heisenberg:

Are Lestat and Al related?
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on April 26, 2016, 10:55:30 PM
Who is Al, QV?

Don't know who it is, but if its a chemist from breaking bad, then, well none of my blood relatives that I know of are into practicing the art themselves either as a hobby or commercially. But judge for yourself. Fr.ex I just went to have a bowl of cereal, and found theres no milk in the fridge, only a bottle of ethyl acetate (a common polar, protic solvent, that in addition to the lab grade stuff in the fridge, is used in some kinds of nail varnish remover that are acetone-free (or rather as I read into the label and think of the subtext 'barren of acetone content, and as such, sub-standard muck :P ' )
Has a pleasant, fruity odor, as a great many esters do (esters are some of the commonest chemicals used in scents and flavourings, perfumes, fruit flavored candies, e-fag liquids etc., such as EtOAc, that smells pleasantly, if somewhat generically fruity. Oddly the stuff in the fridge, I just wafted a bit dribbled onto paper towards my nose (its not particularly toxic, but if things need to be smell-tested  thats prudent to avoid overexposure anyway. Its a good idea to try and drum good habits and practice into oneself, then it avoids having to think about it when it does matter, and is important.

But it smelled more like...like xylene or tolly. I wasn't expecting that. Will have to test it now and make sure thats not actually what is in the bottle, if I've re-used it and forgot the label (ethyl acetate, 99%) after begging some xylene or toluene off someone if I was at some point, out of one or the other. Don't THINK theres owt but EtOAc in there, but I am going to be checking before I use it for owt.

Actually in general, because of the pronounced scents of many, ester preparation is a good experiment for youngsters or new people to chemistry as a hobby, for instance theres amyl acetate  has a strong scent of bananas, with hints of sharper notes underneath, again fruity. (amyl=synonym for the n-pentyl group, the group after the 4-carbon butyl aliphatic alkane hydrocarbon group, that gives rise to butane, as the pentyl group is found most basically, as pentane, a very volatile, although unlike butane pentane is liquid at room temperature, so long as the room in question is rather cool, and the weather isn't too warm (boiling point is 36 deg. centigrade, give or take a few fractions of a percentage point. I like it myself, a favoured solvent when I need a nonpolar, thats unreactive because its easy to boil off and redistill for reuse after one finishes doing whatever it is that they are doing with the pentane, even for those without a vacuum pump, not that I need worry there :)

The pentyl/amyl (n-amyl, that is) acetate is really nice smelling to me, I love bananas themselves, but this is weapons-grade, if one can conceive of such a thing as a weapons grade banana. Although it also serves as an aggregation, and attack pheromone to (honey) bees. Its present in the sting and released on its use, provoking the rest of the swarm to attack, although I've never seen it in practice. I wouldn't try either, given that the bees barbed stings are suicide-weapons, and I will not have them die for me, to sate a curiosity. Its also used in pear drops, the  boiled sweets, to scent and flavour them.


I think I'll have to give breaking bad a look couldbe. Sounds like the sort of movie  I'd enjoy watching. Going to look for a torrent soon, after finishing my current torrent downloads (doom III, and looking for X-com the bureau as well as hopefully once its been out a bit, someone to pirate X-com 2 and torrent it.


Picked up any tips yourself yet CBC? then I guess one could say you went from couldbe to couldbEE ;)
(reference to The Hive, a now no longer up board online, although there have been successors  in content, and now, I'm glad to say, a spiritual heir also, as damn close as.
Had some truly hilarious characters posting, a lot of it was stimulant-related, although the stimulant subforum was only one part, there was all sorts, from aquisition tips for reagents and precursors, to advanced chem techniques,vto tryptamine chemistry, and the always funny as shit 'the couch', pretty much our place to kick it back and relax with fellow bees

This being a practical solution primarily in the  UK due to  reporting list rules in the US. Theres no requirement or even ever requests to show ID for pseudo. If it ever does get cracked down on then the govt are actually more likely to be letting themselves in for more
than they -bargained for. INCREASING  rather than decreasing the national total supply, and thus increasing availability. Because generally the quantities of pseudo are limited, to a certain degree in availability , ounces and multiples of ounces, depending on how patient the cook is, weather or not there are runners employed to smurf supplies in greater quantities than a single chemist on their own can practically  manage  etc. 

But if that route were either taken out either wholly or in part, that would force cooks to use alternate routes. P2P (synonymous-PMK, phenyl methyl ketone, BMK-benzyl methyl ketone. P2P being short for 1-phenyl-2-propanone  or 1-phenyl-propan-2-one, same thing, different nomenclature), for which multiple routes exist.  This is then reductively aminated using methylamine as the amine source (for meth) although  other primary alkyl amines could be used, such as ethylamine to give N-ethyl amphetamine which is not bad at all, quite smooth and less jittery than meth.  Although the amphetamines produced via reductive amination, at least the usual routes, are racemic, there probably are enantioselective reduction methods available, although a chiral synth is more than a commercial cook is very likely to try. or beyond them.  The alternative to using some kind of chirally directing  reducing agent which IMO may succeed although I'd need to look into it if I decided to try.
The alternative would be to waste part, the laevorotatory isomer of the finished amphetamine product and resolve the isomers afterwards by for example selective  crystallization of the D- or L-speed with the
appropriate isomer of tartaric acid, as this is a chiral organic acid, and it will co-crystallize out with the corresponding isomer of the chiral product, D-tartaric acid will form crystalline salts with dextro- but not laevo-amphetamine/meth etc and L-tartaric acid will only crystallize with laevo, not dextro isomers of a chiral amine.

Doesn't matter which way round one goes IMO, take one half of a binary mixture out of the pair, get left with the other.


Although doing this, whilst it will allow for the selective isolation of the desirable D-'phet it does leave one with the other half as dross. IIRC deamination is possible to reform P2P and rerun the synth again to claw
back some more D-meth /D-amphetamine for one's available resources.

Alternatively theres the knoevanagel (Henry) condensation reaction instead of P2P. Its a lot easier to do than trying to resolve a racemate end product and using (I THINK) a chiral amine base as the catalyst   may well produce an enantiopure product. The knoevanagel/henry is done by condensation of a benzaldehyde and and a nitroalkane catalyzed by an amine base, to give an intermediate beta-nitroalkene, if nitromethane is chosen, then the result is a beta-nitrostyrene, and this on reduction will give a phenethylamine. Phenethylamine itself, not active in vivo due to being eaten up instantly by monoamineoxidase-A results from condensation of benzaldehyde and nitromethane. Substituted benzaldehydes are more interesting here, for the capacity to produce all manner of substituted phenethylamines, many having psychedelic activity, such as mescaline and its analogs, 2C-B, 2C-I, 2C-D,  2C-E, 2C-T-7, and many more besides.

The use of nitroethane instead of nitromethane results in a beta-nitropropene as an intermediate, on reduction this will yield an amphetamine. Not sure how chirally selective it is generally speaking, as I've only used the reaction with nitromethane. And owing to the lack of the alpha-methyl group on amphetamine, which is the location of the chiral carbon, the phenethylamines are not chiral. Outside the realms
of those having a ring substitution pattern permitting the presence of a chiral center. Most of them this doesn't apply to though, and are achiral.

Its a very easy reaction to run though, dissolve the benzaldehyde and the nitroalkene in solvent, methanol, preferably dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate (epsom salts are hydrated MgSO4, spread out on baking foil on a baking tray and whack it in the oven until it turns white and crunchy, its quite obvious when this has been performed to completion. Once its cooled, a bit it can be added to the methanol, and it allowed to sit, and settle out, having bound much of the water, it'll improve yield some, although its not at all essential. The rxn can also be performed in neat nitromethane as a solvent, or nitroethane if making amphetamines, but since these are precursors too, it makes far more sense to use the cheap and throwaway MeOH and use only the requisite molar quantity of your nitroalkane. Then add your amine catalyst, pref. a secondary or tertiary amine. Ammonium acetate is used as well too sometimes, although there are better ones by far. I favor triethylenetetramine myself, TETA, can be isolated from some epoxy glue kits as the hardening compound, other options include cyclohexylamine, tert-butylamine, ethylaminediamine diacetate aka EDDA. Ammonium acetate does at least have the advantage of being very available, from glacial acetic acid and ammonia. Or just boiled down white vinegar to provide the acetic acid until as concentrated as it can be made. For best yields though, different substrate aldehydes seem to have different
preferences with respect to catalyst chosen. although never having heard of the use of TETA before, it was to hand   and has given very impressive results w/nitromethane knoevanagels.


For the reduction of the nitroalkenes, there are many ways. Lithium aluminium hydride is quick, its clean, its selective and doesn't result in any horrible byproducts or nasty waste. It does need care in its use
however. Flame dried glassware, solvents (ethers, usually  the cyclic ether tetrahydrofuran as it forms a complex with the LAH, diethyl ether is another good bet), regardless of which is chosen it must be  rigorously dried and distilled over lithium (more available to most people) or sodium wire/sodium granules to scrub the last little traces of water out of your solvent.  Drying the glassware in the oven is just fine, and a blanket of argon (welding gas bottles, it can be dried by passage through conc. sulfuric acid, then scrubbed of any acid traces by further passage through powdered caustic soda) because LAH is pyrophoric
and likes to burst into intensely hot, hard to put out metal fires. That, in highly volatile and flammable THF or ether really wouldn't be pretty. And even less attractive a prospect when one has an expensive investment of reagents and precursors in that etherial solution, undergoing reduction.


Another, easier reduction, although its suitable for nitrostyrenes, not sure if its suitable for  nitropropenes, is to use aluminium amalgam, aluminium is a very reactive metal indeed, but so much so that
it forms an inert, but very thin surface layer of oxide that  passivates the metal and retards further oxidation. Mercuric salts (I believe the metal can be used but would have to check) strip the oxide layer and prevent it from reforming (actually so effectively, that application of a bit of Hg to a block of aluminium by stopping the instantaneous repassivation, and damaging the protective layer, allows the air to rapidly attack the Al, the corrosion spreads like a plague, literally, like a creeping border of bacterial infection or decay, and it really does creep, slowly, for a solid block, as though a living disease were at work, assaulting
the Al, and you just get it crumble away. For this reason, transport of mercury and items containing it, is prohibited on aircraft, which are made out of aluminium due to its light weight and strength, etc.

The plane, if said Hg were carried thereon, and it were to get loose, could quite literally, cause the plane to  fall apart in mid air. Bit of a nasty thought, eh? sitting there in your seat, eating your in-flight meal, only to find yourself in your seat, but your seat no longer having a plane attached anymore!!

Hg is toxic, but it does work, Al foil, chopped into squares and crumpled up into balls, doesn't need to be super tight, or too loose, controlling the available surface area accessible to the mercury salt and the surrounding environment, and then addition of substrate, reflux, although its exothermic and can start to supply sufficient heat to the reaction to keep it going once started. So temperature control is needed.

Alternatively, there are dissolving metal reductions available, some more useful on some substrate types than others. HCl, or glacial acetic acid and the likes of zinc or iron powder,  never done it though.

Another one thats looking interesting, not tried it, but reading on the use of the lanthanide samarium as the triiodide or presumably other nonfluorine trihalides of samarium, it looks like it might have real serious potential for the reduction of beta-nitrostyrenes/nitropropenes.


If anyone's interested, just say so, and I can post up some of the most facile, and from-scratch routes to nitroethane. NitroMethane can be had from commercial RC model racing car fuel, usually mixed with both methanol, which is fine in the knoevanagel/henry reaction anyway, and oil to lube the engine up which isn't, but which can easily be separated via distillation of the nitro under vac (careful, nitromethane can be explosive if its mistreated, but its not too dangerous to allow for as a procedure, just care should be taken),  and small quantities of benzaldehyde can be had from many artificial almond essences, or by oxidation of toluene , which again if anyone wants to try, just say so and I'll post up some protocols for doing it at home:)




And another route to amphetamine couldbe perhaps from propiophenone and pthalimide, to prepare pthalimidopropiophenone. Reduction of both imide to imine to amine and subsequent or at the same time, reduction of the carbonyl group might work. then cleavage off of pthalic acid in acid. Certainly pthalimidopropiophenone itself apparently is metabolized in vivo to pthalic acid and beta-ketoamphetamine (cathinone), the same compound as plays the role of main active stimulant in the plant known and chewed as 'khat', Catha edulis.

Not sure, I will need to test it, but I may need to replace the pot thats turned by the temp. setting dial. Had some weird clicking and the george bus...I mean, the knob the pot is adjusted by seems to have for some weird ass reason, become able to exceed its proper turning circle.

And I NEED a plate, I can manage at a pinch with my spare, if its working, but I am not sure where it is. Might just borrow my old man's one out of the shed, he won't mind. Because I've got a mixture of mostly diethyl and diisopropyl ether I have to distill and purify, theres some heptane in it too, which can stay; actually its advantageous for what I have in mind. But there is also a very high boiling oil of some sort, that if I could strip it off at all post-reaction, I'd need to pull a real hard vacuum to boil it off. Quite possibly not even doable with my pump. Not because its shabby or anything, but the grease/oil is only present in traces, but I sure as shit don't want it in my ether(s). It would make for a lot more pissing about and workup, thus more expenditure on my part of solvents, which cost money, money I do not simply have to burn, and which must ergo, be allocated to the lab expenditure. Rather not drop cash I can avoid spending, so I can keep my lucre in my wallet, until I see or decide upon more worthy equipment and reagents to blow it all on :P

For now, I've gone and borrowed my old man's hotplate from the shed. Although it hasn't got a mag stirrer, neither does the second of my two hotplates. My main, favourite one is the magplate, thats got a single actual heating plate, whereas my secondary plate has no magnetic stirring capability, but instead has two heating plates to the unit, one larger, one smaller.

I don't need the stir function though just for distilling my diethyl ether/DIPE/heptane mixture to free it of the traces of uber-highboiling lubricant oil(s?) but I WILL be wanting it for the experiments with lithium bronze I have planned (Li-bronze is, afaik, an unofficial term, clandestine chemist slang as far as I know. But its the electride-NH3-complex thingymabugger one gets via preparation of an extremely concentrated solution of lithium metal in anhydrous ammonia (as a condensed cryogenic liquified gas) then boiling off the annie. Result is a gorgeous-looking blue solution at first, deep, deep indigo to azure blue, like the top right corner of hyke's avvy. But darker.  Depth of color increases with concentration, but when the annie is stripped off, then the result left behind doesn't resemble lithium at all, but is a GOLDEN, liquid that if it isn't truly metallic, its damned close, for all the world, it behaves like one, most closely resembling caesium, or the lovechild of NaK alloy and a can of gold spraypaint, if it went under a sunbed and got itself a tan.


To whit: a picture of Cs, I haven't the picture of the electride.

I now have 20 adult colouring books. I'm lucky if I've finished 20% of the pictures in them :laugh:

Me thinks I might need to replace some of my pen colours already. Thankfully Office Works sell them individually.

Post by: renaeden on May 23, 2016, 03:37:49 AM
I have about 5 of those books. Mostly mandalas. Quite a few have been cut out, laminated and stuck to my bedroom door.

I use gel pens (I bought some from Officeworks too) and sometimes textas.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Charlotte Quin on May 23, 2016, 04:56:06 AM
I mostly use fine point felt tip pens. They're really awesome for the finely detailed stuff. I've given up for the most part on textas because I can never find ones that run smooth over the paper (too gluggy and leaving fibres everywhere). God those connector markers have really gone down in quality since they first came out years ago. I use pencil now when I need to fill in large portions of a picture with colour.

I seem to like florals and geometric patterns :)

Thinking I'm feeling most perky and indeed; rather chipper today thus far, no   hideous nausea and/or vomiting, no seizures, no pain either, although the only of my meds I've taken are the pain ones, all I was able to pick up, aside from my xylometazoline spray and some more ondansewtron (zofran, about the best antiemetic/antinauseant that doctors have within their arsenals to give. Although I've never tried aprepitant. But the zofran, sheesh damn!, I first had it, although had pleaded with my docs for some before, but was knocked back and refused each time I asked
because its one of the most expensive meds around, aside from highly technically challenging and complex to produce stuff, mainly biologicals like monoclonal antibodies, modified viruses, gene therapies etc, but first had it when I had to go to the ER for the vomiting, it just would not stop, and was happening that day at a rate of once every 4-5 minutes or so, and shit me!  it had been
going on for all night previously too, and I was getting dehydrated without being able to replace the fluid, at least, not without resorting to an improvised murphy drip, and using electrolyte solution with a bit of sugar in it. Dioralyte basically, same ratios, although with some magnesium added also and no flavouring or color because I didn't need the latter and didn't have the former. Not that it would be relevant in the first place coming from a murphy drip. (rectal/intestinal administration of either medication via drip or much more often, liquid feeding, for patients who cannot swallow or who must not ingest things orally for some reason or other.

Just so it COULDN'T be vomited, and because I confess, not all that easy to find a vein, for myself or a med tech, even with ultrasound guidance, for them, although I myself have a bit of a better idea where they are, and how to find them.  But if your spewing so hard you go to the ER, yakking blood streaky bile and foam  because theres nothing else LEFT inside your gastrointestinal canal to vomit up, you already emptied yourself out, then quick is important.

They gave me a pill of ondansetron, which was vomited instantly, coming up as a white splodge, before it even passed the lower end of my throat, they at first refused to give me any more because it wasn't 'accounted for', they didn't actually witness it coming up in the first person, even though they could see the splat in the barf bowl I was given and hugging for dear life or a quick bullet in the back of the head maybe, but I kinda actually did get angry with them over that, wasn't abusive, just, made it clear that was totally unacceptable, and was not going to be tolerated, no matter WHAT I had to resort to to ensure the correct outcome and basically, that they were to do what they are told to do, and get me some more, that I can actually ingest and have become absorbed. So, they gave me a shot IM. Took about 30 seconds to a minute  to work, and it literally pulled me back from the edge of the river Styx,  hugging myself in the foetal position, curled up into a nasty little ball of condensed misery and suffering.

Went from that, chucking big pools of bile up, with blood in it at times, and in absolute agony with my stomach feeling like someone was continually kicking me in the guts, and with the cramps, it felt like I'd been knifed in the stomach, or gone to the lab grabbed the bottle of nordhausen acid/oleum   and took a swig. (nordhausen acd is concentrated 100% sulfuric acid that has then had additional SO3 added to form a superasaturated solution of sulfuric acid, because sulfur trioxide is the anhydride of sulfuric acid, otherwise known as oleum, and its corrosive as fucking crazy.

Theres a video clip of sulfur trioxide/sulfuric being poured on a chicken on youtube to get an idea (its a dead chicken, not some sick animal abuse video, plucked and otherwise ready to be put in an oven) of what its like. It doesn't cause burns as such, it literally starts hissing, spitting and belching torrents of smoke and soot, as it burns right through the carcass, reducing the  contact zone to ashes and leaving behind black ash, as the bird was dehydrated and burnt to a frazzle, leaving it as carbon in chunks and soot. That day in hospital my insides felt like that chicken's

If your looking to rearrange something organic, The Hard Way, oleum/SO3 will do it alright.


Also thinking that I want some of the freezing cooler spray thing for sore joints, to give myself a nice big squirt up my back and over my shoulders, because in this hot weather I am positively sizzling, getting slow-cooked to a frazzle.  Its basically a spray of denatured alcohol, with menthol in it from the smell, and some sort of really really volatile propellant gas, I figure maybe dimethyl ether perhaps but thats just a guess, the menthol masks the smell of anything else too well, I can't even tell theres alcohol in it by smell because of the mintyness.

But mmmmm that is nice! a nice long squirt all over my back, shoulders, back of my neck and torso, and I've got a punnet of juicy ripe strawberries to eat, four bottles of elderflower fizzy ready to drink cordial (no water added needed, just drinkable right out the bottle) at the price the shop was putting on the price tags; so  I have four bottles of the elderflower drink not two, and  I absolutely ADORE elderflower drinks, they taste so damn good and are  so refreshing in hot weather, I'm pretty pleased about that.

Also cooking, or rather, have cooked two baked rhubarb Pies, thats two out of three, as I just ate one before leaving the house to get a lift to the pharmacy in my old man's car so I could pick up my prescriptions in the local village center pharmacy. Yummy, I love rhubarb pie. Ended up giving in to temptation and went digging out hunks of pastry and eating them then and there, because my mom was busy demanding to be taken back into the kitchen for another fag, as she can't remember shes just had one and needs telling she has, and/or to zip it if she gets arsey

Anyhows, I've got myself a nice wee set of munch food and some tasty nibbles (fuck off,  that is a letter 'B', not a 'P' :P)

(re colouring books)

I use brush markers, or coloured pencils with an alcohol blending marker, depending on mood and paper type. I'm nowhere near 20% though. I have a big colouring poster that I finished, and one book of mandalas that's about 80% finished, but the rest of the books are barely started.

Black and blue with tinges of purple?

  Darker hair, which can be done easily enough ... and either brilliantly blue eyes, or deep black ones.  :checkout:

I used to wear contact lenses (for about 15 years) and I used to buy the coloured ones. I liked grey the best. They suited me.

Boring blue. My twin is lucky, she has dark blue eyes. They are stunning.

When I wore contacts I tried lots of shades of blue and green - baby blue, dark blue, turquoise, light green, dark green.
I also tried brown, which I liked. The only colour I didn't try was violet.

Tats aren't THAT painful, well mine wasn't, unless it was the bits going over bone. Want more when I have spare cash.

I'd like a destroying angel fungus (Amanita virosa or A.verna, both look visually almost identical bar certain very subtle characteristics, and have a different reaction to contact with caustic potash solution, 15-20 percent is good enough for that, but that aside, you can only tell the difference between them by certain habits of growth, season provides a bit of a clue, but otherwise the main difference is in the stem, virosa having scaly banding, like snakeskin, but its pure eerie ghostly white on pure white, while the incredibly rare A.verna, or spring amanita, equally deadly if eaten but most seldom ever to be met with. I've seen one. Once, in my entire life, from age three to age 29, my current age. Only one. And I consider myself...well blessed isn't the right word really, but very fortunate to have gotten to actually see it growing. I didn't pick it of course, not that I'd eat one, christ no, I like my liver as it is and where it is, and remaining in solid form, unbeshitten out in melted slop form, thanks:P]

I'd like the two isomers of lysergic acid and both their enantiomers as a set done, that is, D-lysergic acid, L-lysergic acid and both D and L-isolysergic acid. Or (and?) maybe something like one or other of the neuropeptide hormones, ACTH, or its precursor peptide, that gets cleaved into ACTH, beta-endorphin plus a couple of melanocortin receptor ligands other than ACTH, that would be a good one and not too long. Or dynorphin maybe, the endogenous kappa-opioid receptor agonist peptide neurotransmitter.

GABA and glutamate as a pair.

And I'd love a line drawing/shading pic of this lady by the name of typhanee, if she would be ok with my doing that, to bear it right over my heart. Plus the three first initials of her names, inked one each side, the middle initial below, in theban witch-script (because I like the look of the alphabet and I've long used it myself for other things, not to infer she is a 'witch', not that that bears any insulting connotations to me, and not that I would ever, ever speak an ill word of her, or permit another to do so in my earshot and yet walk away afterwards. Not a cunting chance, because the lady in question means the world to me, and always will do.


Would like one of the more colorful mesothelae, and an amblypygid (tailless whipscorpions, not true scorpions, body plan is more like a spider or mesothelid, being without a tail, but like a mesothelid, retaining a scorpion-like segmented abdomen, the mesothelids are spiderlike, although believed nonvenomous, a very old and primeval lineage, that diverged from both mygalomorph and araneomorph spiders long ago, presumably when spiders and scorpions first diverged as orders within the arachnids from their common ancestor, theyre trapdoor spiders with a downward-stabbing mygalomorph like cheliceral arrangement) [araeneomorph spiders are those with fangs that cross over from side to side, like a pair of pincers or scissorlike action, such as the orb web spiders, Steatoda, the false widows and Latrodectus, the true, mygalomorph cheliceral 'dentition' if thats the right word to use of a spider are those like the hexathelids, Atrax, Hadronyche, the funnelwebs and tree funnelwebs respectively, as well as the mouse spiders and wishbone spiders, Missulena and Aname.

I spent three days driving from L'Estartit in Spain, via Monaco, a little town in Northern Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and an Alp village, back home, arriving late last night. A drive of more than 2,800 km.

We had lots of fun. :)

It was awesome to see from a distance, too.

Most of our stops on our way home from Spain were like that, short and cursory. We took what was supposed to be a very quick detour through Monaco but got a bit lost in there. The armed guards at the palace took a long, hard look at us the second time we passed. :P

Pondering how to go about it best, but theres one particular large, well-formed chunk of I2 in my order that would be ideal for display purposes in an element collection (iodine, obviously, THIS festering den of iniquity is not going up on my lab wall haha), its volatile of course, so sealing it in a glass ampoule under argon would be the obvious, but, I'd sooner it retained its original form if I do. Never actually seen it before take the form of solid rounded but pitted boulders like this stuff came in. I usually buy it in flakes, and if I make it from iodides then its sublimed to purify it, and takes the form of..well..fluffy looking tiny crystals. I can only think of a built in coolant system using a computer fan, and something similar for storing other unstable or volatile elements, such as white tin, and the yellow allotrope of arsenic (analogous to white phosphorus), as well as the odd, and possibly unstorable explosive antimony, an strange allotrope of antimony prepared via electrolysis of antimony trichloride at antimony electrodes, or something similar, forget the exact route, but it detonates when subjected to friction.

Been wanting to go the whole hog so to speak and build a really nice looking periodic table-layout case, everything from hydrogen to maybe, neptunium. (via neutron bombardment of a very thin layer of depleted uranium to transmute it through 239Pu and thence to neptunium. Or perhaps a higher cutoff, whenever stability becomes too poor for stable safely storable isotopes. Thinking first targets will be the semimetals, as they lie roughly in the middle, saving IMO polonium for the last of them, then technetium for the last of the transitions. Although polonium samples aren't too hard to obtain.  (insert russian spy gallows humor here)

Iodine and sulfur can start of course, as these are already sitting on the shelf, then Cl2, as that I can knock a sample of up, dry it and seal it in a gas discharge tube in no time. Been eyeing up some rather attractively priced rhenium and iridium too, $20-something a gram, powder, meaning I can save most of both for precious metal catalysts:D Can already sort platinum, silver and palladium, the former two as the metals and palladium through reduction of palladium dichloride.

Phosphorus I think will be next, as there are so many different forms of the element to nail down. Black phosphorus (both of them) IMO will be hard, if even possible, those I MAY have to buy. Since the synthesis from white phosphorus requires both intense heat and great pressure.

IF its possible to store, one thing I plan to try is to clean the oxide surface layer off willy pete with a chromic acid/concentrated sulfuric bath, which when melted and stirred under the strongly oxidizing cleansing bath, will burn up the P2O5 layer that gives it the usual white color. Seen a pic just after someone did it, and he got it damn near clear as glass. But UV tends to cause rewhitening. Thinking clean it, dry it, then ampoule under dry inert gas, in a tube of some kind of glass that blocks UV even more effectively than soda-lime glass, to see if it can be stored clear, prevented from reoxidizing. Got a little P to start with, so I don't have to build a plasma arc furnace and do a nasty messy carbothermic reduction and get P2O5 smoke everythehellwhere. Because if theres one thing phossy does well its SMOKE like crazy when ignited.

Thinking I want to stick the gas mask on theres a horrid sulfur stench coming from the accidental thermal decomposition of something sulfurous itself, although not terrible smelling. This....this abysmal monstrosity is getting to me from rooms away.

Pretty depressed today. I have always been a loner. It's better that way. But I really wish I had someone. A friend. A companion. Someone I could just "be" with and not have any pressure to be more. Mutual respect and having each other's backs for support, etc.

*sigh*

:(

Life sucks at times. Hang in there.

Thanks...I know. I am rarely actually depressed though. Just one of those days. Usually I am just worn out and exhausted emotionally and mentally. My birthday just reminds me of my Mum being gone and then all of the horrible shite from being married (other than my minions, of course).

I am fucked. Been noticing a moldy smell and turns out the condensation pump to my basement AC unit isn't working. Water has been collecting behind and around that corner of the basement opposite my bed (couch) and soaked up unto at least two sets of shelves with parts of my STAR WARS collection and the old entertainment center with my old Commodore 128 computer and other stuff stacked on it. Plus, my acoustic guitar was on the floor next to that and the case was coated paper and was soaked and when I opened it the entire inside is covered in thick mold, including the guitar. Still haven't dug out the second shelf or the entertainment center to see if more spread. The side wall has my vintage toys so I am really hoping it is localized to the two sets of shelves over there. Some of that stuff was really old and irreplaceable. Ugh!

He was not a few years ago, when I used to train with him, but now, I do not know as he appears to have 2 kids now, rather than the 1 he had back then.
Also, well, because I have liked him for years now, since he first stepped into my gym, but am totally unable to say anything as well, I cannot imagine he would even conceive of being interested in someone like myself... he knows I have Asperger's and now knows what Autism is as he works with kids with Autism now(didn't even know what it was originally, but now he teaches kids with it). So it's bad because there are strong feelings for him, but I cannot do anything about it really. Not being at the gym for a year didn't take it away either, as I started having bloody dreams about the man, even though I wasn't even consciously thinking about him  :LOL: I have not been in a relationship now in like, 4 years +. I do not really even *Do* relationships well. I struggle to express myself emotionally, and struggle with intimacy, So yeah... much as I am at a point in my life where I would like a companion, I doubt anyone would have the patience.

My beautiful, resilient daughter. 

She was sad and went out to take a walk just now.  I had told her I love her and had taken special care of her before she was born.  So she was to take care of herself and come home safely.

She was sad and went out to take a walk just now.  I had told her I love her and had taken special care of her before she was born.  So she was to take care of herself and come home safely.

Walking through puddles still makes me happy too. :hug:

Concurrence here as well. I think puddle fun might be a universal thing. Even my little dog goes straight to every puddle he sees when we walk.

When my daughter was still having a "psychologist"  visit us every week at home (she was almost four years old and mostly grunting and pointing instead of talking), the doctor suggested that we buy about ten large boxes of chocolate pudding mix, clean teh tub out really well and pour it all into the tub with a bag of chocolate chips, bag of marshmallows and a bag of raisins (various textures to discover on her own) and let her have her way with it. She could get as messy as she wanted to, she could squish it everywhere, no harm if she swallows some and generally get some of her need to explore touch and feel met. Then just hose it all down the drain and away when she got tired of playing that way.

We did that quite a bit and she actually began to try to talk more after that stress relieving "therapy." That Doc was a fucking genius!

Mud came later, but I get the idea.








Sorry to have to edit again, but trusting a fucking database to correct for my poor typing usually fails. I had left an "s"  out and tried the spellcheck thingy haphazardly.

Anyway, the doctor we liked the most was a psychologist, physiologist And qualified as a GP, etc, It was a whole team, of psychologists coming to the house once a week, studying various forms of "PDD," who we were trying to support.

(you may have NO IDEA how difficult this was for me AND my wife, having people, even random people coming into our house every week, but we did it to help the kids' troubles, which we were just beginning to understand and I think it did help, after we both sucked itt up and just tried to deal with it all and learn from them instead of just fucking cower and hide or stand and become belligerently protective of space - probably can tell which was her style was which was my style.)

AND we were hoping to be SUPPORTED by their efforts as well. We had signed up for a long term study of our two autistic kids.
I honestly think we would not be where we are today if it had not been for just gutting it up and allowing these Doctors to investigate, monitor, watch and study and offer suggestions for us to try. I think it helped us.
It was tough to do!

So was I QV. Reading that has given me a warm glow inside:) Best one I've had all day. I have to say, I've been concerned for the PR (and wishing both you and her the best of course), I'm glad shes taking things in her stride, keeping her chin up, so to speak.

Is she autistic? that might have something to do with it if she is, something made me think, earlier, in terms of her coping with things. It was my mother dying just recently, and earlier I overheard some of a phone conversation on this end, between my old man and whoever he was talking to. He replied (presumably to them asking about me) that I was just...well carrying on as I always do, just carrying on going, if that makes sense to you QV) I think perhaps, that its got a lot to do with it not really affecting me, Perhaps the fact that she was better off hurrying up and dying in her case (which I think in the end, she did deliberately) had something to do with my not being in the least sorry about it, but not much.)

I have been told by The PR that it's time I started dating because she needs a DAD.

I suggested that we wait until we get the body back.  (It can take up to 5 years.)

Thanks for the really touching story about her. The way you're coping with all this is awesome.

I have a 27-year-old myself, but thankfully totally independant....well mostly independant. Fuckit, I mean he's a male, so we  pretend he's independant ofc :lol:

I'm pretty damned sure   he;s Aspie , but not such a 'tard as myself, because he was brought up in an Aspie household, and taught to think for himself and  accept himself.  His answer to that? He's a neurotypical , brought up in an aspie household...

Ofc  we're both right, but we have a lot fun with these disagreements :). It's like Intensity on a good day.

Take care of yourself, QV  :hug:

Not so sure about piles of leaves. Little poem a friiend of mine wrote as a teenager (exuberant Oxford fresher, writing home)

In the Winter it is sometimes cold.
In the Spring  it is often cold.
In the Summer it is always cold.
In the Autumn, no-one goes out for fear of treading on the leaves

Weird how that stuck in my mind all this time, huh?   (I was about 15-16, now 57)  It must have something. Or maybe  I do :rofl:

Watching it now. Both were terrible. For different reasons. Hillary is supposed to be the best and most highly experienced brilliant politician. He is supposed to be a joke candidate not capable of stringing two words together.

She WAS better than him in the debate. But that is not the story. She should have been so much better and he should have been so much worse.

If you look at any of the online polls bar maybe CNN and NBC, Trump wins. Why? Because the bar was so much higher for Clinton. Is that fair? Probably not, but it is a fault of the media. Had they portrayed Trump as a worthy challenger 12 months ago and a possible threat, then people would not be voting up his performance on the polls now.

http://imgur.com/a/CnPPd

I hate Hillary but have to say she seemed on her game and a lot better than she has in months. She did not faint or go cross eyed or do a strange bobble headed tic or cough. Good for her. Next debate she should take it up a notch and take out Trump if she can. Though she beat him, it was not by a convincing enough margin. This should be her domain, she should dominate him and she him off.

I think definitely BUT I think the same of Hillary. What scares me is what we already know about her. I think she is a disaster. I think that Trump gets into office he will be pumped full of enthusiasm, he will try to push a few ideas and few will take and most of what will will be watered down. He will outsource his job roles to more competent career politicians and at the end of 4 years America will not be in a worse condition and marginally better. I think he is too inexperienced to really do too much harm.

She WILL do harm. She already has. She is running a play for pay charity and things like selling off 20% of America's uranium to Russia make me uncomfortable. I think she is too in the pocket of too many people and too corrupt and slimy. Unlike Trump, she has the experience and the ability to force her will and cause America more trouble and more wars and such. I think she is a horrible warhawk.

My opinion. Honestly if she was suddenly deemed too unfit to be president, I think I would welcome Uncle Joe, Pocahontas Warren or Crazy Bernie (or even Creepy Kaine) as her replacement. I can't stand the thought of her winning. Id be indifferent to them.

He would respond in kind. Like he does now.
Hillary had Gaddafi killed and said the Russian leader had no soul (his response was that he'd rather that than have no brain.)

I could definitely see a leader saying something crazy to him and him saying something cringeworthy nasty back to them publicly and holding a grudge when it came to being cooperative.

CNN, of course, is the only one who said Hilary won

So Donald Trump supporters voted Donald Trump in polls that asked whether they thought Hillary or Donald Trump won the debate? Say it is not so! Did Hillary supporters vote for Hillary? I bet they didn't. I bet it was only the Donald Trump supporters voting for Donald Trump.

Weren't you ignoring me? I keep getting mixed signals. Was that you are never ever going to pay attention to me, but with fingers crossed? So hard to tell from here?

That is fun indeed.

Did you read the article?

Sure did. Who do you imagine people in a Subreddit called r/The_Donald vote for? Alerting their membership to vote in polls and where they are is not brigading. But due to the sheer number of enthusiastic supporters it will have an effect - that is to show support for Donald Trump.

Washington Post will spin the article for Hillary and against Trump. They are partisan.

The reality is this debate was a wash. Hillary DID outperform and beat Trump but expectation was that she would win convincingly.... And she didn't. Her chance to show her strengths of policy and experience, and she could not do this well enough.

Expectation needs Hillary at around a 9/10 and Trump at around a 3/10. There was not much between them. Her at maybe 7.5/10 and he at about a 6/10.

The effect in polls will be negligible . She let a good opportunity go to waste. Next encounter both will have each other's measure. She unloaded most of her ammunition.  She still has Trump University left to hit him with. Him? He has plenty. Clinton Foundation's pay for play including sell off of 20% of US uranium to Russian interests, her perjury in relation to her emails, Benghazi, Whitewater, Travelgate, the immigration exodus, cattlegate.....too much ammunition. He'll have to cram to get it all in. She has one more bullet left.

Trumps rise has had the effect of turning key battleground states red. Not previously safe blue states for Democrats, like Minnesota,  Massachusetts and Illinois are not longer safe, but are being downgraded to "Leans Democrat". She needs to not JUST beat him but convincingly in the next two debates. Anything less will not check his rise.

Personally, I don't think she can do it. I think she is not evolving. I think she is what she is and will be. I think Trump adapts and is more than a little unpredictable. I think she may refine her technique slightly but then so will he. He will improve and their improvement will negate each other

Agreed, except that Hillary's got plenty of material to choose from, too, should she choose to go down that route. Trump has lied so many times about so much that it's enough for a dozen debates.

But Trump's core supporters probably won't be swayed unless he practically collapses, which he is unlikely to do. They ignore the fact that he is waffling, that he is unable to actually back himself up ("she's got experience but it's bad experience"). There is no substance but it won't matter.

Trump does not possess  the kind of 'rug' that I meant.

And wondering if my resupplies are going to arrive today, plus kind of inwardly dreading it when they do, because I've got 1/4 of a ton of stuff to shift off my doorstep when the van with my things in it arrives, and a still really pretty damned sore foot to stand and walk on to do it with.

Huh, trigger?

And slightly peeved that my shipment did not come yesterday. They claimed ordering before a certain, afternoon time meant most orders arrive next day. And considering I had to pay shipping (rather less than expected, given the weight. £30something. For 1/4 of a ton of goods I expected I'd be paying much more than that)

In fact I am going to take note of the shipping company that sends it, when they arrive. Then next time I buy on ebay, etc. and its within the british isles mainland, will tell them to use that company, if they are trying to charge me excessive shipping for a few kg of items, or for one piece of glass, etc. and point out to them quite how they are charging too much shipping fee, try get it knocked down.

From what I have read is that Trump supporters take him Seriously but not Literally and the anti-trump contingent do the opposite.  He talks a lot in generalities and waffles a bit.

But that said, he landed a few shots at her in the first half and she did back in the second. It was not a comprehensive win for either. She needs to put him away not just win, in order to arrest his rise. Him even getting a couple of jabs in is not good enough she needs to prove that he is as bad as what everyone has painted him and it did not look that in the debate.

He can mobilise crowds. He can run as a needed change agent. For this, he is rising in the polls. She must put him away in both remaining debates. If she can't,  I think he has one.

The Liberal press failing to treat him as an equal, worthy adversary and threat has worked against them and Hillary

Had the Liberal press from get go treated Trump as an equal opponent but spun that he was.....I dunno.....smart and cunning. Lying and manipulative. A persuasive snake oil salesman. (not saying this is true or not) that would have positioned her much better for the debates. That would have been seen as an even contest.

Here they set the bar so high for her and so low for him that he doesn't ha e to do well and hewing. She has to do well and him to do badly and she wins. Even if she does better than him and he just does okay, he wins. Weight of unrealistic expectations.

Polls coming in now seem to suggest it's effect if anything favoured Trump. It is outlandish but I understand it.

This is her wheelhouse.  Trump is great at rallies and enthusiasm people. Great at whipping up people into a frenzy. At persuading people he is a change agent. That is his wheelhouse.

Debates therefore HAVE to be where she dominates. He he 10000-20000 at a rally and she gets 200. She can't win there. She has no personality and can't fake personality or humour or the ability to talk to little people. Debates are really it.

Don't get me wrong. I think she did better. This first debate she did well. Trump did not do as good. Trump wins because she did not make him look completely ineffectual.

Unless she can, people will ignore the debates and look at things like enthusiasm, energy, personality and ability to change things, all which favour Trump

I live rather too close to the local Uni. Last year, we had the students running up and down the street, letting off fireworks willy-nilly. I almost got hit in the face by one. Unfortunately, none of the freakin' juvenile delinquents managed to fling one in the right direction.

The year before that, they set fire to the bins.

PS. Anybody who still believes in British Education, stop it. It's just an empty  glossy package that we're selling to the rest of the world, because we haven't got anything else to sell.  I am only half  joking.

  As an American, I am intrigued by British Education, the O levels and A levels and whatnot.
  It sounds as if a British kid can take exams on his own schedule and leave school as young as 15 or 16?
  Maybe I'm missing something.  In the U.S., we have to attend four years of high school in order to
  graduate, though a very few manage to finish a little early.  British education seems more flexible.  :orly:

  Excellent, thanks for the explanation!  I guess I wish I had found a way to leave school myself

Sometimes unis have enabling courses. I did one called Ontrack. Means anyone who couldn't get in the traditional way (straight after high school) has a chance to prove themselves worthy to get in by doing uni level work. I had to do two essays and two presentations. They were hard but fun.

We have similar courses here. British education is messed up right the way through, though. We have kids emerging dfrom 12 years compilsory schooling  as illiterate as when they went in. There are a lot of complementary theories as to why this is.  increasing child poverty, for one  (hungry children can't learn well); lack of discipline; over-large class sizes; over-regulaton, over-standardisation  and over-testing ( a huge problem, , if you pay attention to what the teachers are saying); and the absurd  poiicy of putting migrant/immigrant children who can't speak english straight into mainstream classes, at all levels , even up to GCSE level. Add  an inflexible testing regime on top of that, and it's not  hard to imagine  the demotivating effect on teachers and pupils alike; they are all faced with an impossible task.

Actually, Govenment policies down the years have been so consistently destructive in the field of Education, that you have to suspect a secret agenda to back-pedal towards Victorian times, when the working class were too uneducated to raise awkward questions. Alternatively  you might suspect that the politicians are just plain stupid, on account of their messed-up schooling, but you'd be wrong there; most of them emerge from our so-called Public Schools (which is Britspeak for private schools) which are still just as effective as ever.

Uni used to be free here in Australia, not anymore. I used HECS which means that when I get a job and earn over a certain amount, money will be taken out of my pay to gradually pay off my HECS debt.

With college it is different. I either had to pay up front or choose a payment plan. I chose the latter as I don't have over $1000 to pay up front. Still, the payment plan has me broke every fortnight.

Exactly the same here. With the effect that working class people are discouraged from going into higher educucation, even supposing that they manage to qualify academically (increasingly unlikely) . So much for the "classless society". It was a lot closer to being  classless back when I was a kid , and nobody was banging any drum about it being classless. Genuinely free education, and honestly well-motivated Education policies were enabling intelligent working-class kids to move up into the middle class,   to the point that the boundary between the two was becoming pretty meaningless.  That's not happening now. Everything's  based on money, nowadays, and the middle class is now being populated with overprivileged oiks.

If you mean Britain, it's still 16,. There was a brief attempt to encourage underpriveleged kids to stay on past 16, by offereing them an "Education Maintainaence Allowance" (about £30 pw) but that got dropped. I think the Government realised there were cheaper ways of doctoring the unemployment figures.

So, where you living now? I noticed that Hyke  listed you as a Brit, which suprised me, on account of one or two things you'd said (can't recall what)  which suggested to me you were somwhere in the States .

Lestat lives in Manchester I think.

Sorry for answering for him, just wanted to add some info about our education system.

Here in Australia, they made it so that if someone wanted to leave school after Year 10, they had to have an apprenticeship, traineeship, TAFE (college) or a job to go to. Otherwise, they have to stay at school and do Years 11 and 12.

Ah! doctoring the unemployent figures

I see no point in making a kid sit at desk, if you're not effectively teaching them.

Personally, I was too much of a Spazz to take proper advantage of my free education opportunities.  I was in a State Grammar School (shortly before they were were abolished , on that grounds that it wasn't fair to give intelligent kids any special  schooling; the lucky sods already had a natural advantage, didn't they?  Thereafter only rich kids were to have anything you could call an educational advantage, which, as everybody knows, is perfectly fair) . Anyways, I couldn't keep up, of course, so I had to have endless interviews with the Head, during which I was berated for "wasting my talents".

Nowadays, I consider myself fortunate for being unable to keep up, and for being unable to do the socialising thing properly.  There's no option left but to become a free thinker, is there? It's pretty unpleasant being forced into being a free thinker, but it's a cool thing to be, once you get the hang of it :)

Was somewhat of the opposite for me. The schools really did not serve me well. The Kanner's one was more a dumping ground for people that wanted to put their kids somewhere of a vaguely basic educatory nature. I don't think the teachers were qualified in different subjects, in that we typically were assigned to a class with a teacher and stayed there for all subjects. Basic elementary math, writing/english was most of all we got there. Things that anyone could do. (well bar the math, at least not with my near enough acalculia) and when I got transferred to the aspie-centric one. I got shafted in that I was not permitted to do the high-tier papers for physics, bio and chem. Rubbed it in their faces big time when I owned all three. But I COULDN'T get more than a 'C' grade. a C grade would be the best available even with 100% correct answers. I know damn well I'd have got an A grade or better if only the school DID those papers. FFS I ate the bastards alive in all three cases.

I've been angry about that ever since. Wouldn't mind looking into courses like you spoke of, Ren. Once I get the memory issue sorted out by chemical means (hell could use THAT as a presentation even, since I already KNOW a good deal about the biology of long-term potentiation at the electrophysiological level, plus various isoforms of AMPA and NMDA type ionotropic glutamate receptors and their functions. Would have to seriously bone up on the third kind, kainate receptors though. And how the former two especially, interact with nootropics.)

  I give other people way too much power over my self-esteem.  It's as if I need them to validate
  my feelings, and if they don't, I have to feel ashamed of myself in their presence.  Well, fuck that.
  Anyone who insults me is a rude fucking bitch and it doesn't matter if s/he dismisses my
  hurt feelings.  I will be 100% pro-ME no matter whether anyone else in the world agrees with me.
  By having total compassion for myself, I will be able to extend some understanding to the assholes

Gophers 3 and 4 are presently teaching Mr Odious the meaning of the word "co-operation".    They are being very patient with him and increasing the intensity of the shocks  by very small increments.

We regret any inconveniece caused.  However , you will appreciate that we must  have Gopher Gary back.

Gopher 2 , GLF

:eyelash: Oh,my dear, sweet Mr Odeon, Sir! :eyelash:. We know, we know all too well that we cannot compete with the incomparable Gary. That is exactly why we need him returned to us. Didn't Gopher 3 explain that to you? :eyelash:

If only Gary can be freed , then you too will  free, free , free of our tedious posturing

*hangs head*

Besides, I didn't know,  I really and truly didn't know that you don't like to be tickled.

As  token of my absolute faith in your goodness, i shall reveal my true name to you.  It is Gertrude.

Godspeed , my gentle captive,

Gopher no. 13   (your Gertrude, forever) :eyelash:

All for having fun here, but honestly not really sure what to think of it; maybe it's fun, maybe it's not. Have made it clear about not appreciating being impersonated, so it's possible presenting some facsimile of me might not be as fun as appearances. Maybe some people just can't handle other people's uniqueness. Maybe it's really funny and somehow original in a way that I can't see. Really don't know and doubt anyone is going to tell me.

Ms Jack,

We is not meaning to disrespect the Piper. And we is not meaning to  be any fake smile of yourself.  We is  thinking that it is very easy to see the difference.  We is sad that you is taking that way. We is the Gopher Gary fan club,  that is what we  is.   And  we is all  hate-full of paedos, so we is finking it is best if GLF  poo all over the  the hate-full paedo pic   and put our “bad photoshop” next to the gopher words instead.  Otherwise people finks that the gopher is a paedo . We is all very, very sad when we re-reads our  hero’s words, and we sees that horrible, horrible   Glitter pretending to be speaking them.  The horrible , horrible Glitter is the fake smile. We is not understanding why you is not hate-full of the Glitter, but is hate-full of GLF instead.

But  now we is also sad that we is maybe making our hero sad.

 If  Gopher Gary  comes out and says “Go away  GLF” we will.  We have all sweared to do that.  Maybe  we go will go away anyway , but we will never ever let the horrible, horrible  Glitter  come back.

Ms Pyraxis, we is deeply offended that you fink we did a bad photoshop!  We did not!  We did a bad MSPaint job.  So there!  Our paws are not  so good at these fings.  We will let you make  a nicer one for us if you like.

Even if true, it's still a weird position to be in. Makes me think of a friend in highschool. She was a nice girl and liked her a lot; though in looking back, it's impossible to deny that our friendship was probably largely based in the fact she was crazy about me. She's the only person who ever adored me to the point of emulation, actions, manner of speaking, hair and even style of dress. She thought I was awesome and how can I resist someone who thinks I'm so freaking cool? That was Piper she was emulating. It was flattering, and also easy to tell the difference, but still, there were times it was tempting to knock her in the face and tell her to get a personality. Jack has an ego of a completely different nature though; have unsuccessfully attempted twice to be frank about the topic, so not sure what else to say.

I didn't know they were a fan club, I thought they were part of, you know, wherever the Gopher came from. Presumably he's got gopher parents and a gopher clan somewhere out there. It wasn't too much of an imaginative leap to think they might come looking for him.

What can I say, I like a good story. I used to be big into roleplaying once upon a time, so it comes naturally to pick up a trail of story and play along.

Probably shouldn't mind either. Going to assume it's all harmless enough, and if there's anything to know or understand about it, then it's not really important enough for me to actually know.

Crack is not something I find a safe courting, or even a desirable one. I have assayed its effects in vivo over divided occasions suitable to determine time curves, reinforcing tendency etc. But if I was a crackhead, I would not keep my pipe there of all places. Especially as I use glass vape pieces for smoking the likes of DMT, methamphet, kit, etc. if I am going to vaporize anything I at least know how to build a good pipe from borosilicate glass. But for one, would you really want to put in your mouth, what has been up there?  didn't think so. And aside from the propensity for the stems being thin, almost capillary like (I blow them from volumetric pippettes that are past useful, chipped and such, because there is a bulb, connected on the air inlet and inhalation side both, which creates a partial vacuum, when pulled on, burning/charring less compound and allowing the vacuum produced by confinement of the airstream to create a higher vacuum, loaded by cannula and measuring syringe in solvent allows for tiny quantities of highly potent compounds active in the mg range to be dissolved in acetone, a pressurized air stream forced gently through to evaporate it (bearing in mind the quantities are in the range that one would measure with an insulin syringe, only takes better plastic to stand it if acetone be the solvent, methanol works fine, evaporated and deposition of the compound within the evaporation chamber formed from the bulb part)

Wound snap in a heartbeat if treated roughly, but boro glass has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and it doesn't shatter from heat shock. But the design does work well, and it is an intended feature, the narrowness of the stem, although thinking of improving it by a solid glass spiral-wound around it, so as to allow heating the stem to clear it, and bending it round to act like the bipod of a rifle and the far end as a 'stock', so it can be set down without either rolling or burning a surface. vaping pipes get a LOT hotter than ones for tobacco or ganja/hash.

I can't help but find it funny. My car is 22 years old. If it was going to catch fire, surely it would have done so by now? Will call in to Mazda on Monday. There is a dealership just up the road.

It's knitted; some people knit them with giant needles, some knit with their arms, though crochet would probably work too. Oldest wants one. Am hoping she forgets about them between now and Christmas.

Not all cops are bad. Some are decent and genuinely want to do good for the community. That being said, far too many are the bottom of the barrel, which is why this is their profession and are biased as fuck and we have way too many shoot first, ask questions later types, which has become more of a standard and acceptable within the legal system. At least in the good ole gun-happy USofA.

But the dead are dead. The needs of the living are more important than the wishes of the dead. Though doing things completely different than the dead would have wanted would not make a good ritual either. Because then you are taking leave of a person different than the one who died.

They don't accept bodies offered to medical science any more. Unless you have some exotic stuff going on. Autistic brains can be donated. But that still leaves a lot of body to deal with in another way.

Best not to let your wishes known in a will.  That's not read/used until well after you're dead.  An Act of Donation made while you're alive (simply a form from the Med School) is what you need to fill out.  If we had done this before PA died, we would not have been responsible for the cost of transporting his body from the hospital to the Med School, about $500. 

Are you sure you need to have a Catholic funeral?  Things are changing quickly.  When I was growing up, cremation was forbidden, suicides were not buried in sacred ground, etc.

People were taken aback when I said I'd given PA's body to the medical school.  Evidently it's not a common thing here.  It solved a host of problems.  He always said he didn't care what happened to him after he died since he wouldn't know anything about it.  I took him at his word.

A memorial service is in the planning stages (i.e. we'll do one sometime in November)

  I think it's an excellent choice.  I need to write a will and specify that I want my own body donated.
  I think my brother and sister can handle the idea of me not being buried in the family plot, which I
  can't be unless I have a Catholic funeral, which ain't happening, because I'm not gonna be a hypocrite.  :laugh:

They don't accept bodies offered to medical science any more. Unless you have some exotic stuff going on. Autistic brains can be donated. But that still leaves a lot of body to deal with in another way.

Freaky weird, but you can donate (ahead of time) to the Federal government to be used to train cadaver dogs, investigate crime details , etc.  It's the Body Farm in Virginia.  That one I had some reservations about.

Wonder if they would be willing to pay transportation all the way from Europe. As far as I know there is not something like the bodyfarm in Eurpe.

If I would do that,  one of my kids might try to become a pathologist....

Those rituals are for the benefit of the living.
Sometimes also about honoring the wishes of the dead.

But the dead are dead. The needs of the living are more important than the wishes of the dead. Though doing things completely different than the dead would have wanted would not make a good ritual either. Because then you are taking leave of a person different than the one who died.
If husband goes first, it's entirely possible he wont get what he wants. Though the same is probably true for me.

Had that thought too.

The ones which appear to have higher quality materials and better skilled construction all seem to be outside of the US. It's feeling like a bit of gamble. :laugh:

Some people knit with really big needles with roving that has not been spun. With the right type of wool it might felt just a little bit after washing, closing the drafty gaps.

I fully agree with you, Ozy. I should that think that article probable explains the trolls' motivation rather than the people who respond to them. We all know that you shouldn't feed the troll, but sometimes, on some forums , I really couldn't help it. .

It's the really clever trolls who get me:the ones who use cheap debating tactics like strawmen, or who  deliberately re-write history so as to get the less alert /less knowlegeable people riled up over nothing.  So they wind up with a Greek Chorus behind them, repeating whatever bit of mischief they dreamed up, sincerely believing iit's a fact. Those tactics don't seem to work so well here, or maybe they're just not used so often.  But , i must confess, I find it really hard to just ignore some troll's mispronouncements  once they  gets that Greek chorus going, especially when it's a serious subject under discussion, and/or they are making some innocent party look really bad. That really does wind me up :(. And actually , it's really hard to proceed with a discussion at all, once it gets to that point. You're either gonna effectively argue with the troll's POV (whether you're directly adressing him or not)  or else get the hell out of the thread, there's no realistic middle ground. And he's won either way, hasn't he? Because often, the whole object of the game is to screw up the thread; actually getting it locked by mods is the big prize, usually...

well, hey!  that's another reason why the minimal moderation here, is so great.   Other forums bug me to hell when the punish the OP, rather than the troll, by locking his thread when it gets trolled.    How can mods be so freaking stupid, huh?

Yes, that is what I meant. It would not hurt you, but how would it benefit them? Taking leave of someone they made up in their mind. And for friends attending the funeral it would be a weird experience, hearing all kinds of stuff about you they knew not to be true.

Interesting subject. 

I guess I'll have to have a memorial service for PA (his sister and niece requested one).  Perhaps at his church.  BUT, I want to have the attendees pick up an envelope when they enter.  I'd like to have a joke for the person to read.  PA had the most spectacular laugh and I think this would be something he'd like and everyone would remember.  The pastor might be okay with it because he has cracked a joke or two during sermons.

I did have the Lutheran church guy at the hospital say some prayers over PA.  But they were meaningless to me.

What an awesome idea. Honouring his laugh and sense of humour.

A memorial service is meant both for mourning as for taking the first steps in life without the person who passed away.

Laughter, without ignoring the loss is a good thing happening on a funeral/memorial service.

You could also hand them out more to the end. As a gift of laughter. The pastor can then maybe work his speech towards that.

If your busy dancing  QV, I'd be more than happy to partner PR in a dance. I must confess though I only do cyberpunk-electronic/darkwave type stuff and moshing/circle pits though. I've never ballroom danced in my life, and otherwise have about six left feet. None of them attached to my legs ahaha, at least when trying to dance. But would love to drop a pill of MDMA, or MDE if she'd prefer a more gentle ride, with PR and dance to some good music. If doing anything other than electronic (think, the likes of combichrist, some rammstein, angelspit, PR would HAVE to lead. Because I sure as shit stinks can't:P

*pictures mentally having the honor of such a dance with PR and goes all swoon-ey:)*

Got to see if that sodium and calcium metal can be found cheaper before I buy it where I would now buy it. Plus going to look for cheaper pyridine. Although I admit, pyridine is a LAST resort chemical, if I can use an alternative I do, because it STINKS. There are very, very very few, a vanishingly tiny handful of reagents that I LOATHE more than I do pyridine. The stench is something heinously disgustingly repulsive and awful. Like rotting, really badly decayed fishy plus undernotes of general fishy aminey stink. But amines generally aren't SO bad as pyridine. Plus, its toxic, not that I'd be ingesting it, and you only need a mere trace of it in something to make it totally  uningestable by accident. Its what they use here in methylated spirits, along with purple dye, to warn that there is toxic methanol to poison wouldbe desperate alcoholic drinkers for tax purposes here. There is a miniscule quantity of pyridine added to it, which gives denatured alcohol as british type methylated spirits its disgusting stink. And I hate even that, using it to clean CDs or pour over salted/CaCl'ed ice cubes in a water or water-antifreeze bath, for use as a cryogenic freezing bath. Pyridine is fucking awful stuff. Useful, very, but awful, fucking jesus H hell on a unicorn, sitting with its horn up his christly anus is Py fucking heinously stinky vile noxious shit on a shitty shit covered  frozen dog shit popsicle. I've even once had the displeasure, of the time I had a temporal lobe seizure, which actually was most curious and interesting, not that I want more, but to observe its effects, that was curious indeed. But they can produce, in addition to odd visual and psychological effects, phantom odours. At the time, I experienced an overpowering and truly foulsome reek of phantom pyridine. I HADN'T spilled any anywhere, but out of the blue, this overwhelming, hell-fart of a stinking pyridine stench became apparrent. The only things I know personally that are worse, are some of the nastier stinking arsenic compounds, some of the worst offenders amongst the sulfur compounds and some nasty ass organoselenium stuff. Plus isocyanides. There are just...there really aren't anything similar that isocyanides can be compared to in terms of similarity, like how E.g hydrogen sulfide smells of rotting eggs (and is responsible for them) or mercaptan/thiols, the lower ones are used to stink up natural gas supplies to houses and give gas leaks warning properties rather than be odourless. But in concentration are truly powerfully carrying, long-distance stinkers, and of the lowest liquid ones, one or two drops in the center of a football pitch outside and it would be impossible to approach that football pitch from quite some distance. You just couldn't do it, not without a gas mask that covers both mouth and nose with a filter cartridge that will strip them from the air and bind the nasty ass shit.

Or how ammonium sulfide again smells eggy and nasty like rotten egg. But where isocyanides are concerned...they are in a horrid family of their own, that contains isocyanides and only isocyanides. But they are penetrating, and brutal in the extreme when it comes to the stench they pack. And I have never yet encountered anything fouler. Not even the selenium analogs of mercaptans. Selenols as they are known. Mercaptan (the term comes from the latin 'mercurium captans' meaning 'to capture or hold/bind mercury' as sulfur has a very high tendency to bind with or associate with mercury, the main mercury ore, cinnabar, a red pigment, being mercury (I) sulfide) being where sulfur replaces the oxygen (in the periodic table, in that downward group one has first oxygen, then sulfur, then selenium and lastly in order, tellurium and polonium, the latter being extremely radioactive, the main common isotope, 210Po being a powerful alpha emitting radioisotope, Po has no non-radioactive isotopes and is nasty ass stuff), I've never worked with tellurium compounds, although I really want some native, natural crystalline tellurium (like one of the allotropes of selenium its a semimetal, like metallic arsenic, one of the selenium allotropes, silicon, and germanium, and it has the most brilliantly mirrorlike, bright and absolutely gorgeous looking vitreous-although nontranslucent, metallic look to it, mirrorlike and bright. I want it not for chemistry, but a piece of it growing off sylvanite, an ore which it commonly is attached to in the natural state, the sylvanite being black and in acicular or rodlike pieces. Although absorb even the most tiny tiny quantities of Te and it causes 'tellurium breath' where organic Te derivatives that are volatile and gaseous are slowly excreted from the body, such as dimethyl telluride, dimethyl ditelluride etc. and cause the unfortunate to have their breath and bodily fluids rendered so awfully foul they cannot approach another human, and anything they touch must be retired or preferably burnt away from humanity. So much as touch a book if so afflicted and the book can never, ever be used again. Alexander 'sasha' Shulgin, now sadly deceased, may his soul have reached paradise, the pioneer of self-experimental psychedelic tryptamine, amphetamine and phenethylamine chemistry, who left the rest of us a biography in two parts, one containing at the back all his efforts and recipes and chemistry knowhow on phenethylamines/amphetamine psychedelics and empathogen-entactogens, the inventor of MDMA, and many many others, and the other, part bio and lifestory, and at the back, his compendium of tryptamine inventions and stuff on tryptamine chemistry, even how-tos from start to finish, including synthesizing precursors. The two books, PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known And Loved) and TIHKAL (tryptamines '') are the literal Bibles for psychedelic chemists and aspiring developers everywhere. And they are aimed to have gotten, and succeeded in doing so, the cat out of the bag so that this treasure trove, the massive wonderful and truly generous life's work, of his, is, the knowledge-genie is out of the bottle and can never, no matter how hard law enforcement or govts try and ban things, ever ever be put back in:)

Of course, I own both books. Plus a third of his, a catalog more or less, called SPIQ 'the Simple Plant Isoquinolines' not data on bioactivity sadly, but a catalog of what they are, synonyms, formulae and where in nature to find them.

And there is another, that as yet I have not got, The Shulgin Index, containing yet more chemical wonders that he had been working on before his death, as a venerable old man and artiste beyond artistry.

This man, well, he was my inspiration. I always had the seed of this interest within me, but his work, the two books, PIHKAL and TIHKAL were my guiding star, leading the three wise men, or one man in this case, like the allegorical star to the baby jebus. And now, after following some of his recipes at first to the letter of his Lex Legis, have had the Sanctum Sanctorum pregnant with the beginnings of gestating works entirely new, that Sasha himself, had never explored. Something, a phenethylamine and its corresponding amphetamine, that hopefully will be psychedelic, and if not can be converted into one, a fluoromethoxylated brominated mescaline and corresponding TMA (trimethoxyamphetamine) analog that to the best of my knowledge has never, ever ever gone into a man before. I don't think its ever gone into a research animal, and i can't even find reference to the likes of serotonin/dopamine/noradrenaline receptors or/and transporter binding assays and cell culture-level assays. This will be something NEW, so, SO new, that I, shall almost certainly be the very first person to have created it, save maybe if big pharma has created it in the process of multi-compound high-throughput screening as an incidental, synthed it and filed it away untouched. But almost certainly, from my deepest and most thourough searches of the published scientific journal literature, to have produced it and near certain I am that I will be the first to taste the fruits of the work.

This post, made in honour of, and TO honour, the late, and truly great Alexander 'Sasha' Shulgin, and pay tribute to him and his still living wife, Anne. I would SO love to have met the great man himself, who from his writing style and things he has told of himself, I am fucking positive the guy was on the spectrum.

My first tasting of this brominated difluoromethyl ether replacing methoxy, leaving one of mescaline's three methoxy groups as it is, an important one in a position intolerant of very much poking around there, as it is, whether active or not so, it will be done with reverence of this great man, and as a toast to his and his wife's time upon this earth. A toast in respect of him, shall it be.

Heh mental murders. You bet. There's not just a murder or two, or even a mental serial killer on the loose. This is a warzone and a fucking HEAPED bodycount.


And whilst not so far as murder, actually, every single time I go for a piss, since I sometimes have some urinary retention, as a consequence of some of the meds I take, since quite a few different members of different classes of meds I take, mostly those I am also prescribed as well, making it slower to take a slash, aside from running a tap for the sound of running water, or if I can't be fucked turning it on, and its a waste of water anyway, every time, retention or no retention, I envision a police station, and a copper leaving his policepig's helmet and myself standing around, of course not under arrest, just visiting for the scenery...sort of;), and as the copper puts his hat down, what I am picturing as I am micturating, or...micpicturating, is whilst vulva-featured little piggy pork turns on it's trotters and buggers off to attend to it's swinely duties, grabbing that policetwunt's helmet, whipping my junk out and leaving the 5-0 in question a little...present...left for It residing in said helmet, which I envision leaving upside down to make sure the present doesn't fall out before piggy gets his gift.

And if i ever have constipation due to my opioids, then I don't go digging for brown gold, but I whilst having to strain, envision leaving a non-liquid (unless I've either got the squits, or its gonna be one of those soft, smeary, sloppy creamy kinda turds that squirt out into a shapeless mound) gift of a similar nature into the shoes into which Mr.Po-Licemongrel (with the emphasis on the 'lice' part fits his trotters when mincing like a fucking faggot around his his daily beat, and the look on the prick's face(es, sometimes, but there is one particular fucking noxious little skid mark that I especially reserve such mental covering in excrement and hosing down from a large carboy filled, by me and me alone, so it takes ages and ages, and the carboy in question, filled with my piss, has chance to start becoming infested with bacteria, putrefying, fermenting and getting truly disgustingly rancid smelling before jamming a funnel down into a length of hose attached to a copper (as in the metal represented by 'Cu' from the latin 'cuprum') 'Y' section, one longer and one shorter piece of hose, one to go down into the swine's stomach and one to go down into their trachea, insert it carefully to avoid rupturing anything and causing a quick kill, before superglueing it in, and then carefully breaking the jaw of the hogtied (see what I did there;)) old bill, by turning them onto their side, jaw against a curb, and carefully stamping on the side of their jaw, and carefully again, shattering this particular piece of filth's broken jaw, and then cheekbone to fragments, turning pig boy round on the other side and repeating the process, before making him sing praises and halle-fucking-luia-s to my name whilst the tanks of piss are them poured down the 'beer' bong. a little space being left between mouth and superglue sealing the festering, fermented stanky rancid urine-bong in, for him to chant blessings upon my name and MEAN them (believe you me, he would be meaning them, because before hand, he'd have been mentally broken and damaged physically until there was such a travesty of a shattered heap of shrieking remains (I'd leave the twat's tongue in, just for the purpose of allowing It to mmmfffle blessings upon my person and praise my name, as the long tube goes into his donut-induced piggie pot belly, and the shorter into his trachea, with a little constriction of the lung-tube so that he drowns slower than he gets bloated with piss until such point as the piss level rises from his superglued-shut arsehole (superglue on the neck of a champagne cork, inserted with the aid of a claw hammer and a crappy aim:P) and the piss level coming from above, force the cessation of his chanting of my due praise. And his last wish, his long-continued drawn out begging for death finally granted. After, of course, having him dig his own grave. He can sing that one, last hymn through his shattered jaw and facial bones. To me. His eulogy? my laughter. Music? could record on tape the screams and shrieks of the process by which he is submitted to break him mentally and physically. Before suffocating on my fermenting piss through the tube forces his silence, and drowns It for good. That is 'for good' as in both 'permanence' and For the principle of being a thing that which is of excellence.

And yes, if I have urinary retention, then that sweet, sweet mental image really does help me take a leak with greater speed and ease both.

Likewise if I need to drop a turd. Only then there is a slight few alterations into the final closing of the curtain of the comedy act; here and thereabouts, since it'd be difficult to beer bong the results of dropping a log. I need not go into it. And besides, it is even less pleasant (for the fucking swine that has been vexing me so)

Well you are kinda finding yourself these days, no, CBC?

I prefer not to fight if I don't have to. I use my brain if I can, and even if its a pretty hairy situation my superior intellect has gotten me out of a few nasty  little stinkers of incidents. Although if I have to I do have a pretty decent uppercut ready for anyone that there isn't the material to work with to come up with a solution other than resorting to plain and simple unleashing hell. Lol the last about to be violent piece of shit never even got to raise a fist. And I did not lay a finger on him. Gave these two wouldbe muggers a 'peace offering' of a bong, knowing they'd accept and want to batter me anyway. They took them, and hit in one go. Only it wasn't weed, it was an inert herb carrier soaked in a solution of a hyperpotent cannabinoid. Short acting, but extremely powerful stuff, N-cumyl-1-(5-fluoropentyl)indazole-3-carboxylate. And the second guy just barely had the chance to hit his bong before the first one dropped to the ground in a grand mal seizure and the second guy just ended up looking like a fly paralyzed by insecticide, twitching, immobile and stunned senseless with a look of horror and abject terror on his face. Never so much as raised a finger to touch either of them., hehehehe. There was enough of the compound in each bong to have knocked a horse sideways into next week in one toke, let alone the entire huge bowled bong they each got given. shithead 2 went in the same ambulance that saw and came to take away wouldbe mugger no.1

Was funny as hell, especially seeing how damn FAST it dropped the cunts. An active dose is <50ug, I can feel it at 15 micrograms and there would easily have been a milligram or two or three in what they each took. Just goes to show, don't fuck with an autie. And seriously don't do it with on that happens to be a biotech punk type. They got off lucky with a warning shot like that. Lucky I didn't decide to  use a poisoned blade, or just plain outright stamp on their throats whilst they were unconscious. With what was used, it wasn't intended to kill, but it certainly served the purpose of neutralizing the threat without my having to expend to energy in, or danger of getting into a fist fight. Although the only reason they were not punished with greater severity was that an ambulance turned up to take them away and I could hardly tell the paramedics 'hey can you wait a minute whilst I slit this fucking punk's throat, please mate?':P

TOTALLY pulled a :heisenberg: on those two fuckskulls.

At least people could hear me yesterday. My mother has purposely been misrepresenting me and prolonging my situation. She wants me to be miserable and unhappy, I don't understand her motivations. When she says she loves me, it feels like there is an anger and hate at me in the back of her mind. When I met the Asperger's expert and she understood and listened to me, my mother looked really angry and did not like her.

And it's one of those things where, people don't believe you or assume it's not as bad as you're making out. I explained everything yesterday and they finally got it.

Because the world has fucked off, collected it's handbasket and done one, the world is, currently one cunting great  whopper of a turd sandwich, and IMO were a bite or two from getting to the warm, squelchy creamy faecal cemter.

Shit. it has to tolerate the insufferable demagoguery and whoreshat circumstances of his being crapped out of the allegedly female crusty-minged freakish abomination that regrettably didn't have a pot to piss in let alone a coat hanger to spare so It could insert it eyesocket-deep and fish out our wee verminous minge-crust that is our resident oxygen embezzling sperm skid mark, dribbling down the thigh of some skanky slapper who ekes out It's unpleasant existence by turning tricks for crack and charitable food handouts. And bipedal skunk with delusions of personhood of the utmost severity. 

Truth told, it is astounding you yet live, you cum-slobbering imbred neurotypical garbage, hopeless nobody, pathetic snivelling snot-nosed fucking brat. When are you going to shit off elsewhere and go disgust some other  poor rotten piece of shite? go sign up to a paedophile forum or something since you are obviously not autistic, you do not belong here and need to fuck the christicles off.

I just thought it meant the person who mentioned it automatically loses whatever argument they were trying to make.  :dunno: So I don't think the entire thread should have to end. That's what I'm thinking right now, by the way.  :zoinks:

I read through some of the argument threads today and ended up walking away with just about zero motivation to post and add something meaningful. I've been reading a lot of political bullcrap over the past week from a lot of different sources, because I've been trying to work out what the heck just happened to the USA and how so many people could have been so wrong about the election. In comparison, what's passing for discussion here doesn't seem like it'll do much to advance people's understanding.

Al - has some substance but no interest in evolving his opinions
darksydegout - a lot of hysteria and very little of meaning
benajminbreeg - ranting and constantly taking the bait in cheap arguments where neither side is there to listen or learn
odeon - engaging the idiots instead of the valid points

On the flip side, cleocatra at least posts sources and new information. Odeon's good to read when he's talking to someone he respects. Parts doesn't have time for bullshit, Icequeen is genuine, Elle is reasoned and coherent, Jack comes at things from interesting angles, Teddybear is a fresh new voice, Walkie has unique opinions if she would only be more open with them, FourAceDeal ditto, QV is queenly as always, I think that covers most of the people who've been willing to poke their ten foot poles into the miasma.

Totally agree with your meta-analysis. And well put :plus:

Surprised to find my opinions regarded as "unique". I think it's mostly just my   English midlander/nothern perspective on things really, which we rarely  trouble to discuss  with outsiders,. We got shouted down as racists just for voting "Brexit" disdn't we?   I mean, there's a a whole welter of misconceptions and prejudice to overcome before anyone hears us correctly. What to do about that short of plonking somehow down in the middle of one of our cities, tell them to get themselves a job, get themselves a honme, etc, then  go figure it out for themselves?   That might or might not work. But explaining ourselves? Meh.   Most of the rest of the planet might as well be living on Mars.

Unique within my social circles? You're right now in the minority position of being someone who has pretty strong conservative beliefs in some areas, yet you're reasonable to talk to and not just shouting at some strawman enemy. Therefore it's an excellent opportunity for understanding the background and situation that leads a person to take on those beliefs.

hmm. well, I'm totally happy with the flattery, but I'm surprised to be called conservative. Not arguing, it's just that I clearly haven't grasped what you mean by that?  In Britain, conservative (with a lage C admitedly) means right wing, which is probably why that immediately struck me as left-of-field.   It  feels like an insult, in that light. (Don't worry . I'm big enough to see past my sense of offense. Those trollish remain campaigners have left me somewhat hypersensitive on that score, I fear.  :LOL: Not that they've exactly shut up now, nor changed their opinions much. )

The kind of view you stated above really needs to be stated explicitly. To suppress a whole side of that argument would only have the effect of inflaming prejudice , not putting it to bed. And leaving everybody feeling uneasy.  So, kudos to Trump for having the balls to state it, and kudos to America for letting him.

Also, I hope you don't mind me repeating it here, but a previous conversation we had regarding Brexit and immigration.

"Conservative" is way too much of a generalization, but the type of conflicts you've talked about, like poor British renters vs wealthy immigrant landlords, remind me of the POV of small town USA people who are inherently suspicious of the cities and the wealthy people there. A big subset of Trump's supporters come from that background, which in the USA is called conservative. But there's a lot more to it than that, ie the assumed racism, bigotry, religious values etc. that I know you don't share.

Trump is in no way unique. There are people like him around the globe, voted into offices and positions of power, or on their way there. The principles that allow it to happen are the same, from conveniently identifiable groups of people to be feared and blamed to supposed quick fixes to national pride and failing economies. It's all so easy.

The frequent misogyny shouldn't come as a surprise, as shouldn't a liberal view on tax laws and such. It's all part of the territory.

Take a historian's view and you'll see patterns repeating themselves. Take a sociologist's and you'll see the mechanics behind those patterns everywhere. For all of our imagined advances, we haven't come that far yet.

Ah, I begin to see what you mean. And I've been trying way too hard to construct a reply, It's insanely difficult to pin down and extract all spurious assumptions that come in, both potentially and actually, that basically arise from living in different countries, under different circumstances. I don't mean between you and I , specifically, but across the freakiing board; and even within England, which has effectively split into two very  different countries . And  I don't mean  by Brexit. Brexit only went to demonstrate how extreme our traditional North-South divide has become, That division  dates back to Industrial Revelotion (and probably beyond?)and is more of a demographic division than a geographical one. The "Satanic Mills" and their  labour force being very much concentrated in the North, with the South left free to focus on farming and more genteel pursuits; which is not to say that there was no such thing as a working-class southerner ofc, but in the past that would have been largely comprised of farm labourers and servants, who would be more inclined than the city-dwelling Northerners to share the conservertive view of their masters. Thus the North-South divide  represents a corresponding Socialist-conservative division, which has only deepenened, in recent decades, in tandem with  with the dismantling  of British Industry, and ever- increasing austerity. 
I should point out that land here is at such a premium that the concept of "poor farmer " is laughable. Not even the  poor farm labourer can be seriously said to exist anymore, because it just isn't possible to lsubsist on the highly erratic , low wage of a farm labourer, especially not in the South, where none of the low-paid workers can pay the high rents, not   without help on the form of top-up benefits, and especially not in the villages , ( most  which have  largely turned into dormerville for middle class commuters long ago, even up here in the Midlands. You also have to remenber that England is a very small country, and therefore much of England is in easy commuting distance of London..for those who can afford to commute. And that a cottage in the countryside is a much-sought after thing.  A luxury item, however humble it might look. Thus the original villagers have mostly been priced out of the vilages ). Farm labouring is simply "casual work" which people do,,when they get can it, in addition to bar work, shop work and whatever else they can get, But there are not many places left  in England where the laborours live near enough to the farms to make farm work a  realistic option. 

Back in the eighties, the farmers round here had a scam going of picking up unemployed labour by the truckload from the City Cenre  and paying them  "piece rates"  which worked out way below minimum wage,    (I know, I've actually been in those trucks) . Though that was no sort of living wage,  it was just about acceptable  for the workers insmuch as it enabled them to top up their enemployment benefits to the point where they might realistically buy the kids new shoes and.or begin to pay off some of their debts; That  wouldn't work at all if they declared such earnings  (the government would let you keep  £5 per week, after taking so long to review your entitlement that you'd have big problems surving the interim. That £5 barely paid for the extra food you need when doing hard manual work)).  The DWp screwed that one by their vigouous puirsuit of the evil "Benefits Frauds" who were accepting  such work (they actually sent investigating officers out into the fields , and mounted a poster campaign to covince people that failing to declare a bit of casual work was just as real and just serious as the more dramatic forms of benefit fraud. Not that any of the locals were convinced. We tended to feel that the farmers were the real criminals.    A man who's working hard for a fraction of the money he made before being made redundant ,in a desperate effort to keep the bailliffs from his door, isn't anyone's idea of a benefit fraudster, really. But the posters were scary anyway. of course) The farmers never found any other  good  solutions to the labour  problem , AFAIK, short of  building dormitories for migrant wortjker.s on their land, and actually paying them a legal wage,  They've  been  bitterly grumblimg about the "work shy" native Brits  ever since .

Also since then, the myth of "work shy" Brits has only gatherered momentum and now amounts to odffficial government propaganda, used to jusify a really punising series of "Welfare reforms", which make welfare ever harder to get, unreliable (it gets withdrawn  at the drop of the pin, on various pdretexts) and ever-lower. in real terms.  To the Government's embarassment, many such reforms affect the low-paid just as much as the unemployed. They've had that rubbed in their face to such a degree that they've had to make steps to address that, but the rhetoric of being on the side of "hard working families" cuts very little ice in the North. When we do the maths , we still  don;'t find anybody getting better off other than the weathy The disparity in income  between rich and poor in this countryjust  continues to grow and grow.  And now, after  something like 40 years of being  promised "jam tomorrow" if we only take our punishment and allow the Ecomnnomy to recover. we're pretty sure we know what a "healthy Economy " looks like, and who actually benefits from that.

Yeah, it's taken 40-odd  years of ever worsening conditions in the Midlands and North for the working class people to really rebel. Untuil Brexit , we were basically becoming increasingly hopeless and depressed.The two major political parties had both become so right-wing that we didn't even feel as if we actually had a vote worth the paper it was written on. And given that the North serves as a receptacle for anyone who can't afford the housing down South, including most of the original Londoners , as well as the migrants and immigrants, we feel we get a much better view of the real purposes behind  mass immigration .  The self-righteous bleeding-heart messages from southern liberals to the effect we ought to be willing to sharing our "privileged lifestyle " come across as either hopelessly naive at best, or just taking the piss.

Anti-immigration feling isn't remotely based upomn racism, but rather on ever-increasing poverty, overpopulation, homelessness etc. and the sense that the South either don't have a clue what's going on, or else  don't give a flying fuck. Those kind of conditions can breed racism of course, but they mostly don't. However, Anti -Islam feeling is something else again , with an entirely different basis. And when ant-immigation is concatenated with Anti-muslim feeling , and condemned on the same (mostly spurious ) grounds, we tend to despair of ever being understood .

One problem is that the Political right in britain managed to speahead both the Remain and the Brexit campaign. You can perhaps appreciate what a brilliant propaganda coup that turned out to be, for the Tories?

Both Brexit and Anti-immigration  stem largely from left -wing Northerners, but the lack of left-wing leadership at the time makes that statement highly unconvincing  to any kind of outsider. We'd  been dismissing the Labour Party as a bunch of "junior Tories" for decasdes, and , somehow, no serious alternative was emerging, Splinter groups like the Socialist Party (formed by people that Labour had thrown out for being too left wing)were campaigning for Brexit, but they weren't very salient nexct to the right -wing-clowns that are now taking credit for Brexit . In the opinion ofyour average Northerner  those clowns actually  undermined Brexit more than they helped it. And in the opinion of your average Northererner, the genuinely left wing Labour leader, Corbyn, had reluctantly  been pressured into supporting remain by  the hostile , unruly right-wing Blairites who still predominate in his party.  . Be that as it may, it certainly presented  a completely false picture., and left the average Northerners a little bit conflicted in his  attitude to Corbyn.  It was not the best of starts, as regards getting Labour back on track. There were fears that he just isn;'t strong enough to swing it.

I've had to start saying England rather  than Britain, in many contexts ,  by the way, because it's coming home to me how radically different, again, the Scottish experience is.  Where England is overcrowded, with a very real housing crisis, Scotland has a falling porukation , and housing to spare.  Scotland is traditionally left-wing for the same readon that the Notrth of England is,. It's population is larhely comprised of working class peoplem=, struggling on the verge of destitution. But there the similarity ends, because working class people struggling on the verge of destitution really don't want to live in Scotland, by and l;arge, where unemployment figures are higher still, heating bills are higher, and your chances of survival if you do become destitute considerably lower. There's a longstanidng tradition of down-and-out scots moving South into England(my paternal grandfather was one suich)  and movement in the other direction is almost uneard of. A lot of Scots stil buy the logic that mass migration  might actually ficx their economic problems, so they swallow that longic along wuth theaccompanying  bleeding heart political rhetoric. Atv least, that's the best explanation I've heard for the striking difference in attitudes. And if we have to wait for Scotland to become overcrowded before they rethink...

Well anyways , I think that background probably irons out a few apparent paradoxes?  And I haven't even started on the Islamn thing. The English experience of Islam is also unique in it;'s way, and it pisses us off mightily when people try to tell us what we think about Islam, and why we think it , rather than listening .  But hey! I've really struggled to explain this much. already. I really have!

He is an arsehole, and the only way I'd plus him, is to plus a brick through his front window in the middle of the night. Because he's an arsehole. And yes, accidental, I meant to make sure everybody knew he was and is one giant ghey arsehole. MLArselicker is a cancerous anus polyp and needs to be wrapped in a red hot thin piece of wire and slowly sliced off the arsehole from which he currently sucks pus, like the pus-engorged rectally-situated chocolate starfish tick he is. Guy is a fucking cocknibbling prostate pirate with no business having metastasized from whatever foetid, vile little diverticulum of a pocket dimensional abscess he was originally beshat unto and ideally would be a good little nonce-begotten shitspawn and fuck jolly-well back off there, were he a wellbehaved little wank rag.

Hmm, actually Pyraxis, given the somewhat awkward example you quoted (no , i don't mind, but this one happens to be awkward, taken out-of-context) , i fell I have to try and explain the complex role that Muslims have in the British Economy, a little bit. It's complex because there is no single definitive "muslim " population here, and you can't certainly put them down, wholsale  as an economic underclass.  My example was intended to illustrate that . And to illustrate how a genuine memberiof the economic underclass might well feel that his position has been completely misconstued and pissed upon, by the "liberal "pro-immigration  rhetoric .

The "poor v rich" antagonism  can easily extend to some groups of Muslims .  In a country where there's a genuine and serious housing crisis, Landlords are not popular figures, ofc. They may not all be "rich " exactly, but they're clearly gaining an  econnomic advantage from said economic crisis, and often exploit that advantage pretty ruthlessly. Given that something like 75% of   Brits can't afford to buy their own home, and are never likely to, we do , quite naturally, think of Landlors as way above us, in the economic pyramid. The Muslim Landlord is a particularly common figure, largely because of the Way Muslim banking works. Islam is against "usury", so Muslims to ften  "make their money work for them " by investing in property, rather than by buying shares.  Hence, a sucessful Muslim is all-too-likely to be a Landlord, much more so than members of other religions. Just that fact alone is enough to make any representation of Muslims as an underclass seem pretty laughable in general.

Such landlords wil as likely be milking poor Muslimns as milking poor non-muslims, I should add, if that matters. I might also add that the Muslim Landlords in the North mostly hail from long-established British Muslim communities (mostlty hailing from Pakistan and Bangladesh) , The stinking rich Middle-eastern Musslims who buy up properties in The South are another kettle of fish, but they don't help improve the Northerner's image of Muslims. They are disliked all the more, on account of speculations that they are the reason why the Muslims , as a whole, appear to have undue powrr and infuence in Britain.

We do have a lot of sympathy with poor Muslims fleeing  Syra, but that'smixed with  A) genuine fears regarding the spread of Islam (which i'll sabe for another post)  B) genuine fears about increasing population pressure, and inxcreasing numbers of people actually living on the streets C) recognition of the fact that that migrants, of all race and creed,  are being exploited as much as possible , then pushed  into the human dustbin in the North once it's clear that they can't hack it in the South any better than the rest of us  can.  We;re not inclined to regard that as genuine "kindness". We seeing them become as anxious , depressed, disillusioned and  and desperate as the rest of us. Britain doesn't meet their expectations any better than Britain meets ours, as it happens. Indeed they're often  shockedand apalled  in a way we jaded natives have ceased to be shocked and apalled.

I could give more reasons, but that's prolly enough?

For the democratic party in particular, it seems it might be a pattern. Can remember some time ago, before the candidates were decided, thinking about election trends, because the US definitely swings back and forth within the two party system. If Clinton had won, it would have been a historical trend breaking moment in US history. Can remember reading this among others: http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2013/01/historic-re-election-pattern-doesnt-favor-democrats-in-2016/

Yeah. I read through both your posts and that definitely fleshes out the picture.

Especially the Scotland/North of England differences were interesting because of having lived in rural Scotland briefly. I didn't find rents ungodly high, at least when I was there, so that fits with what you said about there not being a housing crisis that far north. Rent was about equivalent to what it was like on the east coast of the USA outside major cities, more expensive than the USA southeast, and far cheaper than places like California and New York. Which AFAIK are more similar to London.

I'd say in decline, but I'd also add that I'm not a historian, nor a sociologist, just an interested amateur. Being able to look back and spot patterns is not the same thing as being able to look ahead to predict the outcome of a current crisis. History will tell us that it could get bad, though.

Look at the rise and fall of populist leaders in the past. Nobody thought nazis would ever rise again after WW2, but in spite of all the history lessons and the wealth of information available to us, there they are again. They're not necessarily called nazis but it doesn't take a historian or a sociologist to recognise some of them. It takes a society about a generation or so to forget, probably because our collective capacity to learn from our mistakes is still via the older generation, not an abstract history lesson.

I think the legislators in Germany knew this on some level when making denying the Holocaust illegal. How do you safeguard a nation from something like that, knowing that people are bound to forget?

Is Trump a nazi? Nope. He is just the scariest example of a recent populist leader voted into power, not because he is in any way worse than the others but because of where he is. I wouldn't be half as scared if this had been France and Le Pen.

People forget that Hitler was voted into power, and he is just the most obvious example.

I'm still working out what exactly populist means. "Of the people," but it takes such a negative connotation when used about Trump or nazis. Every democratic politician is technically supposed to be of the people. If there is a pattern of populist leaders rising before great wars, I don't know it.

But I've been hearing some very smart people saying since, oh, early 2000's, that the USA is approaching a decline. There are too many similarities between it and the Roman empire at its height.

It's less about what the word means than what it stands for in this context. It stands for simplified, dumbed-down problem descriptions and solutions. It stands for quick fixes for complex issues, of the kind that tend to be good to be true but that appeal to voters. There is always a component of blame against one or several groups of people conveniently classifiable as threats--and with another suggested quick fix. The targets are dissatisfied voters, people who feel they've been forgotten about by the political establishment time and again, and there is the promise of national unity and greatness.

Mind, the dissatisfaction will be legitimate a lot of the time. There may be an actual threat from an outside group. The society may suffer from the precisely the kind of issues outlined. It could all be real.

The quick fixes never are, though.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Pyraxis on November 16, 2016, 08:55:20 PM
Ok, that makes sense.

In that context it's interesting that Trump got elected based on quick fixes even when the media was against him. Usually it's the mainstream media responsible for trite sound bites and oversimplified, inflammatory reporting.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: odeon on November 17, 2016, 01:10:08 AM
Agreed. I'd say the FBI bombshell, duly covered by the media, was the deciding factor.

But it's the kind of world we live in. The media, ironically, is partly responsible for Trump being elected as both of them feed on populism. Journalism is going down hill, too.

The cat of a former neighbour had the habit of bringing me live mice. Pebbles really liked me. She'd offer them to me, I'd tell her she could eat them. She'd make the final death bite and would enjoy her meal. She'd never bring her own human mice. She would not bring cuddles to her own human either. I never fed her, there was always water for her though. She would come and sit with me at 6 am, while I had breakfast every morning.

Miss that cat. She was awesome.

My first cat brought me a live baby bunny.

Let it in one morning at around 7:30 am half asleep, glanced at it, didn't really comprehend what it had in it's mouth until it dropped it in the kitchen.

Bunny went ballistic, cat went nuts chasing it though the house, kid is screaming bloody murder, I'm standing there in a WTF just happened...I need coffee coma.

Caught cat and shut it in the bathroom and had to move the stove to get the terrified rabbit out from behind it.

After that there was always a mouth check before the cat came through the door.

The cat was older...it decided to live at my house a month after I moved in. There was this woman around my age that I always talked to at work when she came in about a year before, didn't really know who she was, but later found out I knew her brother...we just hit it off and would talk forever, she was great to talk to.  She just stopped coming around one day, later I found out she had a long struggle with depression and committed suicide. Her brother lived not too far away and saw the cat one day and just stared, said it was her cat...he said it just kind of disappeared a few months after she died, he thought it didn't like his dogs and just ran off or died.

It just walked in the door one day, sat down, and refused to leave.

My mum didn't appreciate the gesture. She screamed bloody murder and the cat was back out as quickly as he had arrived.

The mouse was left behind, though.. ;D

After choking on random people's perfume today...I'm thinking I should start my own fragrance line.

I already have names picked out for the first 3 products in a more realistic take of the top-selling fragrance "Obsession".

1. "Butt-hurt"
2. "Rejection"
3. "Fail"

As am I. Nicely pissed, not so much so as to be incoherent and incoordinated, just a nice heavy buzz going on, which is about as far as I like to go with EtOH. Just had a mug of dark rum. Prince Consort...meh....stupid shopkeeper...I ASKED for Lamb's navy rum, but got prince consort instead, which is inferior to my taste. Big mug, a hair short of the half liter I had left, down in one shot, washed  down with a mouthful or two of coke. Then my old man came to tell me 'whatever it is that you were drying, looks dry'

Meaning dipropionylmorphine for later, might just neck a couple of moggies (nitrazepam, the younger brother of flunitrazepam/roofies) later after I get off the computer and go finish recrystallization of my dipropionylmorphine.

Should make for a good night :D Got plenty good books to read once family guy/american dad finish on TV.

Can't say as my taste in music would tolerate the above, that kind of thing feels like nails down a blackboard, accompanied by a violin with rusty strings, played with a bow strung with the rotting hide of a puff adder.

Listening to these, enjoying my rum (lol, quite coincidentally I happened to get a bottle of rum not long after I ended up having to wear the eye patch....arrrrhh matey..

Matte black, noooiice.

You could get grabber blue on the previous model Mustang too, it's that enamel bright light blue.
You can also now get them in that pearlescent cream colour they use on the Mondeo's but I don't fancy that one.
A solid milky cream white would be cool, not that it would look good, it's just for the sake of a proper colour throwback to the Mustangs from the 60's.

Matte is really hard to look after apparently, well, any type of black painted car is.

People still like black cars here. They probably do get hotter inside but with modern cars these days you can turn the A/C on before even hopping in :P. My car is pretty dark but I don't really notice the difference compared to my last car which was silver. I Always use one of those foil windscreen sunshades.
The main problem with black is that people don't know how to wash or take care of it properly. Sometimes it's covered in swirls before you even drive it away brand new from the dealer!

My parents bought a black Jeep (yes, they bought a Jeep ;) ) and before they even washed it, they noticed swirls on it. They took it back to the dealership and complained. The dealer offered to repaint where the swirls were, so that's what happened. I secretly think they ended up with another car without swirls.

They probably did a 'paint correction' where they just buff/cut the paint until the scratches disappear.
Stupid dealers deliberately present the car to you in a dim showroom, or make you wait till late afternoon so you can't see the swirls in the sun.

I'm taking my car to a pro detailer for it's birthday in march. A hand polish should be all it needs I reckon, plus the odd paint touch up here and there.

It's actually not the procedure, it's the prep, the lack of sleep the night before, and the inability to eat real food for 24+ hours to make sure your colon is clean for the Doctor to see properly with the scope.  After I got a good nights sleep and some real food, I felt better.  They gave me anesthesia that knocked me out completely until I woke up in the recovery room, the anesthesia's effects can also linger for awhile.  I was told not to drive or do complicated tasks until today.

I didn't get a painkiller, nor was I told I needed one. It felt like a bad stomach ache. Sharp pains. I didn't like it.

The worst was the Picolax. I didn't eat for about 24 hours or even after the procedure.

I didn't like it, but it honestly wasn't that bad. I mean, you would get sharp pains when they turned a corner, it wasn't constant. It would feel normal, then every now and then, "Oww". The procedure didn't last that long.

But honestly, the worst part was the Picolax. It is nasty stuff. My symptoms lasted about three times longer than they said it would, until the following morning when I had to leave for the appointment. I was in a panic.

Thinking about it, the Picolax was for something else. I think I just used suppositories for the colonoscopy. I don't know why it's so hard for me to remember. I think I wasn't allowed to eat jelly (jello) for some reason when I took the Picolax.

I didn't like it, but it honestly wasn't that bad. I mean, you would get sharp pains when they turned a corner, it wasn't constant. It would feel normal, then every now and then, "Oww". The procedure didn't last that long.

But honestly, the worst part was the Picolax. It is nasty stuff. My symptoms lasted about three times longer than they said it would, until the following morning when I had to leave for the appointment. I was in a panic.

Thinking about it, the Picolax was for something else. I think I just used suppositories for the colonoscopy. I don't know why it's so hard for me to remember. I think I wasn't allowed to eat jelly (jello) for some reason when I took the Picolax.

  I've heard of people being told not to eat red jello before procedures like this. 
  Apparently red dye screws up the test, maybe makes the inside of the colon harder to see?  :apondering:

Makes sense. Whenever jelly is made up here, it's usually red.

Yes, you can drink yellow or green gatorade, apple juice and such.  Nothing red or purple in color.  Lime jello is ok.  Hard candy without the coloring I mentioned.   I also had to take Bisacodyl tablets (a laxative) twice at certain intervals.  The worst was getting up at 1:30 am to drink the remaining miralax and gatorade solution.  Then not being able to sleep because of the running to the bathroom.  The pain was minimal, some discomfort as the CO2 used to inflate the colon for observation would build up and then fart out.  My butt is still sore from all the wiping.

America has maximum steel as a colour too though. Titanium grey looks closer to our 'granite crystal pearl', a colour I was avoiding.
I only really got this colour because it's never appeared on the 300. But as soon as I saw it on the American 300S I knew I made the right choice 8)

Thinking about saving, and saving hard, until I have enough money for a second-hand rotavap off ebay or labauction. Alongside an IR spectrophotometer, which potentially could be built, although I'd need to buy a new mobile phone to do it and get creative, a highly efficient electric-powered cryostat and some new heating mantles w/ mag stirring to replace my mag stir-er hotplate a rotavap is right at the very top of my most wanted lab equipment wish-list.

Of all that though, the rotavap is my dearest wish, as far as outfitting the lab goes, at least, when including only those things that, financially are within the realm of possibility to attain. If I could afford it, then I'd love a HPLC-MS but that is not just entering, but conquering, raping and pillaging the realm of way WAY more money than I could even hope to save for, secoond, third hand or anything else, planting the flag in said realm and finally systematically lining up and fucking every dog formerly owned by the conquered, raped, pillaged and left impaled alive on stakes, Vlad Tepesh fashion before being burnt to the bare bedrock inhabitants.

More than I can afford as in not so much the hobo getting drunk on champagne, as a hobo suddenly being gifted their own private jet and airstrip to run it from; to give a sense of scale and perspective. But the rotavap...shit would that EVER make things so much easier for me, and faster, more convenient, its the attainable material item I want the most, a good condition Buchi model, of course with vacuum takeoff and of a size sufficient to strip large volumes of solvent, at least a few liters at a time. I don't mind secondhand, I don't even mind how many owners its had at all, just so long as everything is still in perfect working order, no wear and tear on it. But even secondhand, a Buchi rotavap would still be very expensive. Going to cut back on what I eat, until I have enough for one, keeping my eye open after I've built up a few hundred quid to spend and pounce when I see something good going at auction.

  hungry and broke, and a friend invited him over for some corn and :bacon: (apparently all the food

Possibly two. Just made a pot noodle, after that it will be porridge, porridge, porridge or porridge. Or I could have porridge with some porridge in it.

Although in fairness at least there is butter to go in it, salt and some golden syrup to melt over the top of my porridge with extra porridge.

They do have food banks. Thanks for giving me the idea, should have thought of that, since once before in the past, I've gone and gotten a food parcel from one via citizens advice bureau.

I'll have to check them tomorrow I think, see what I can get done, as there is quite simply, almost no food, at least, not things I can manage to force myself to eat without throwing up. And what little there is repulsive items of that nature are not mine to eat anyway even if I could hold them down afterwards.

TY ren, CBC. Because I am so fucking hungry right now. I can get by until tomorrow on a bowl or two of porridge and candy without dropping dead of course, but still, I need something that will sustain rather than melt away in moments.


Otherwise thinking about what I am going to do to test the modified lab stirplate. A magnetic stirbar obviously.  think I'll use the impure, wet chloroform from a haloform reaction done some. In many ways, the stuff will be the perfect testto put the new mag stirrer  repair hack through having a goodly diference betwewn boiling points, the other layers being aqueous, and also, chloroform being much much heavier than water and additionally CHCl3 isn't flammable, can release dangerously toxic fumes if actually burns by fire or direct heat enough t o                                                                                      d

Still, the social skills lady even said to me my social skills were advanced. I still don't know whether to believe her, though from the +100 aspies I've met, I'd say my social skills were pretty good. I can read other people anyway, even if I put my foot in it verbally sometimes. I read enough books on body language anyway.

I'm in the sort of mood where I'd want to kiss any cute guy.  :-\

Yeh. :) The knowing why is how you learn anything at all about yourself. I'm just admitting that though I'm always frustrated at other people who don't try to solve their problems, I have my own problems I also need to face, and it's still hard work. I'm glad your social skills have advanced, they're extremely useful in everyday life, and for longterm decisions. It takes an incredible amount of effort, and psychology books in general are really long-winded to have to go through. I'm still grateful to Jack who helped me out with that meeting I had, the techniques worked incredibly well, the social worker got me after that, though it helped that I clarified other things too, but she understood where I was coming from. I mean, I can read peoples' body language and hers was very positive.

I think at least with talking to people, your social skills are more advanced than mine. Not that it takes much. :P

Well, this is interesting. Yesterday when Chris wasn't talking very much, after he had told me he couldn't afford a date...I got pissed off and didn't respond, and put for my status, "I AM A QUEEN, AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH". I was pissed off and mostly serious, I sometimes put my anger on Facebook and it appears funny (on purpose, while getting away with saying how I feel), and a few people Liked it.

Anyway, tonight I've just got a video from Chris, with him and a parrot on his shoulder, saying, "I am a serious person and I deserve to be taken seriously". It was jokey with a funny expression, but I think there was a serious message behind it.

He was saying he couldn't afford the bus fare. He was fired last week too for being too slow. But, it's been over a month and the time he said he could date me is past. How can I take him seriously? I haven't even responded.

Wait, he didn't say he couldn't afford the bus fare. Just scrolled back in conversation.

But still, he had over a month to save.

Remove his money problems from the equation. Offer to pay for the date and return bus fare. If there's still a problem, then there it is.

I dunno, in my experience the decent men insist on paying at least for themselves. And I don't think any selfless man would let a woman pay for him.

I ended up speaking to him last night, because it's not me to ignore people for longer unless they've seriously pissed me off. He said he was "in quite serious debt". :/ It doesn't look good.

Previous post seem to imply doubts if he's avoiding a date because of money or using money as an excuse. Money can be removed from the equation to test that question in multiple ways which have been suggested. Dating a broke person probably means paying or playing host. If being broke makes him undateable then there's not much more to say.

Fuck the whole idea about men having to pay for a date. Emancipation/feminism/equalitarianism still has work to do. Women can pay for a date just as well. Thinking men should do the paying is almost saying men should earn more, because they have to feed their woman.

Dating someone who has a habit of getting in serious debt is something else though.

Yeh, I understand. It looks like I'm targeting men in particular for having to pay, like I expect it of them. My POV is, I've known women who ended up paying the bill every time, and making the effort to see the men rather than vice versa, and in every single case the man has acted up around them and pushed them around, and asked ridiculous tasks of them.

I'm saying, decent men wouldn't expect the women to pay for them, maybe their half.

I asked him whether he just wanted to meet in the park, without having to spend anything. No response. Asked him again today, he logged online, went back offline.

I unfriended him. Not because of this, but because I want someone more straightforward than he is. He could be perfectly nice. Just not for me.

Thank you. :) Well...this was the first message I sent him:

Hi Chris. You may remember Joey mentioning me a few months ago, I said I needed some time. I just wanted to clear up that I didn't know you knew about me...in other words, I took Joey literally when he said he'd mention me to you once I'd sent him a photo of me to pass on. I didn't know he mentioned me to you. I feel it's relevant cos I feel like I've appeared really flakey. It really wasn't intentional, if I'd have known you'd known, I wouldn't have kept you waiting like that.

I'm not sure what Joey has mentioned. For some reason when I enquire about you to Joey, he thinks I enquire too much, though to me I've hardly said anything. :laugh: But anyway, I hope you can see that I wasn't rejecting you. All the best, justcurious.

..

That's it. I was starting to really like him, even if we did speak practically different languages.

Mmm, you're lucky. That stuff must be abundant where you live.

andersom, salted liquorice tastes amazing, though it seems to be a love or hate thing for people, like Marmite. You can buy gummy salted liquorice from that Tiger store in the UK, or IKEA, or some German shops. I think it's a Scandinavian thing mainly.

The hot ones are even better, do you agree? Turkish pebber or something. They did do a gummy version I think, but it wasn't as hot.

Ooh, the hockey puck liquorice powder is really good too. They had a bubblegum flavour too *I think*, and possibly one more flavour.

The Lakrits tablets were good too. The chocolate bar with those liquorice flakes in them was amazing.

Not a fan of licorice flavor either. Am always upset when some bagel places have anise seeds on their everything bagels. Not sure why anyone would think licorice flavor would mesh will with savory things like onion and garlic.

Sir Les is not creating a slew of new arguments. Could be mistaken, but when a sinbinned member attempts to post in a topic outside of the sinbin, their post is re-directed to the sinbin. Even if that's incorrect, it's still the only way him to respond to other topics, and the only way for members to discuss topics outside of the sinbin with him, and if members prefer not to then that's fine too.

It's 5:43pm here, and it's dark outside. It will be dark early in the morning tomorrow, but I can use the washing machine first for the clothing and stuff that touched some of the mould. I mean, it isn't even noticeable, I'm just a mould hater. And when you read articles like this:

http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/How-do-I-get-rid-of-damp-and-mould.aspx

It basically says you need to wear goggles, a mouth and nose mask, long gloves and...it just looks ridiculous. I mean, I'm going to wear disposable gloves, but I'm not going to bother with the mouth mask and goggles because I mean FFS, lots of people live with black mould everywhere and I think they're insane and gross...but they don't seem to get ill. This place is (relatively) clean. That's the only mould I can see, which was a mistake from a scrunched up wet bag in the corner. There's mould around the windows, but this place has single glazing and condensation forms on the windows and I have to air them everyday, and wipe them down until they're bone dry. And they still get mouldy. I only ever touch them with disposable gloves and kitchen roll and then throw it all away. I don't touch anything else with them. Pfft, mouth masks and goggles indeed. ;)

Justcurious, I'd just go with a disposable mask and nowt else, rubber kitchen gloves if you feel like it wouldn't be a terrible idea. MSDS I bet? Most MSDS-es make things as innocuous as water out to be the next novichok agent.

Material Safety Data Sheet? Do you mean from the internet?
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on February 13, 2017, 05:26:12 AM
With chemicals and the likes of mixtures of chemicals for household or industrial use etc. They have what is called a material safety data sheet, or for short, the MSDS for that product. The MSDS gives the composition of the chemical or mixture, and the safety procedures to be followed in case all goes to hell in a handbasket.

They are not without their uses, but on the other hand they are infamous for panic-mongering and often make out the chemical or mixture to be an awful lot worse than it actually is in practice.

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiZnpWl84zSAhXHJ8AKHV3TBdcQFgghMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencelab.com%2Fmsds.php%3FmsdsId%3D9924998&usg=AFQjCNEDFewVMzaSxvbs4DIIvT59p99d1w&bvm=bv.146786187,d.bGg&cad=rja

That for example is the first MSDS I found for NaOH (sodium hydroxide, caustic soda, lye) and they go so far as to reccomend self-contained oxygen supplied breathing equipment in case of a spill. And warn against the likes of contact with chlorine trifluoride (ClF3 is about the most vicious, brutal chemical I've ever heard of. I've seen it SET FIRE to a BRICK. Literally, the brick burst into flame on contact with a dilute stream of the vaporized ClF3. It eats glass like hydrofluoric acid, is a most powerful oxidizer, and generally speaking, there aren't many things that WON'T spontaneously ignite on contact. I've heard tell of an industrial spill where ClF3 got loose and it burnt through a meter of gravel under at minimum, several feet of concrete before the spilled chlorine trifluoride stopped burning halfway to china, so to speak. So warning of a violent reaction is pretty much as useful as telling somebody that if you kick a tiger in the balls you can expect to get your arms and legs ripped off:P)

There are a few special nickel-based alloys IIRC that will stand up to completely dry ClF3, I think iridium metal might do too, possibly vitrified carbon glass. Not sure about the latter two, and if iridium gets corroded or burnt by something, you have a fairly good idea its by something vicious as hell. About the only things its touched by at all are molten, fuzed caustic alkali metal hydroxides and molten cyanide salts. Possibly by chlorine gas at >500 'C, and it can be set fire to in extremely fine dust form,  otherwise if you want to protect something, an Ir electroplating will probably do the job for near enough anything. I'd love me a set of iridium based crucibles, since its so incredibly resistant to chemical attack, out of my price range though currently.


But I've been offered a job, of sorts, by a fellow chemical hobbyist with a youtube channel that he makes synthesis videos and earns some via advertising. Something like 200 dollars per video, plus 20 for each view. Wants me to come up with interesting syntheses of reagents and biologicals.

That sounds like a free lunch to me. Get paid and paid decently for things I'd do anyway. Why the hell not. Been thinking of potential good syntheses to d for it. Violet phosphorus sounds good, I've wanted to do it for ages and now I can get red P or white P cheaply and have more than enough to experiment and see how I can grow the best crystals, aiming for large, single crystals.

The process involves boiling elemental phosphorus in molten lead for a little less than 24 hours then dissolving the lead away with nitric acid leaving behind an allotropic form of phosphorus known as violet or Hittorf's phosphorus. AFAIK its fairly unreactive chemically and is not pyrophoric. I've heard rumours that its also possible to vitrify phosphorus resulting in a grey glass.

Plus references to other, very poorly known phosphorus allotropes produced by some rather extreme methods, such as quenching superheated diphosphorus (P2, white P is P4, and dissociates into a dimeric form that is only stable in the vapor phase, whilst red P is a polymer consisting of long, puckered chains and violet P/Hittorf's phosphorus is IIRC similar, but a separate allotrope due to different expression of the type of deformation of the linear P chains)

So more or less, vaporizing white phosphorus in an inert environment under dry argon, and pushing the vapor through a heating system then dumping it in liquid nitrogen. Which sounds rather potentially violent and messy. Still, I'd love to see the result. Since most information is available on red, white and black phosphorus. With a little on the less well known violet P and Schlenk's scarlet phosphorus, produced by prepicitation from phosphorus tribromide, and which may simply be an ultra-finely divided form of red P, not sure on that.

Still, looks like I've got a lot of fun to be had, and potentially actually get PAID for it too. Which sounds good. One video would double my income over about a week and a half.

Its not exactly an official job, a salaried employment position. But rather, I'd be paid on the quiet for the job done, plus another $20 for every view of the video. Guy has a large and extensive channel.

That and coming up with syntheses the channel owner who does the videos can then do and video himself. And I'd far sooner be paid under the table, so to speak, anyway. Nice and quiet and un-taxed and that wouldn't affect my benefits. Cash wired to one of those prepaid credit cards, bitcoin or something like that.

Only thing we need to work out now is what sort of sytheses he hasn't already done and videoed. My first idea was one I've done before, CrO2Cl2, or chromyl chloride, along with pyridinium chlorochromate, its one of the Etard reagents, and the Etard reaction is pretty neat in that it will oxidize an alcohol to an aldehyde whilst stopping at R-CHO without further oxididation to the carboxylic acid, R-COOH, quite astonishing considering that CrO2Cl2 is a VICIOUS oxidizer that spontaneously sets fire to many organics and is incompatible with most solvents, chloroform, CH2Cl2 or carbon tetrachloride are pretty much the only acceptable, non-exotic solvents the Etard reagent will tolerate. But say, oxidation of the OTC benzyl alcohol distilled from commonly available degreasers, floor cleaners etc. to benzaldehyde without overoxidation to benzoic acid would be fantastic. Especially considering people would love facile routes to benzaldehyde given its a  common amphetamine precursor (Knoevanagel rxn with nitroethane, benzaldehyde and an amine base in glacial acetic acid results in a condensation that yields an intermediate beta-nitroprop-2-ene, reduction of this can give either 1-phenyl-propan-2-one that can be reductively aminated to give methamphetamine, or can  be directly reduced with the likes of LiAlH4 to amphetamine, or to an aldol type product if that was desired by dissolving transition metal/acid type reductions in the presence of a lewis acid such as FeCl3. Apparently zinc metal dust and hydrochloric acid give good yields directly of 'phet from  the intermediate beta-nitropropene. Works for ring-substituted phenethylamines too, as well as ring-substituted psychedelic amphetamines if, for the phenethylamines, nitroethane be substituted with nitromethane, nitromethane condensation with a benzaldehyde gives a substituted beta-nitrostyrene (nitro-vinylbenzene) and reduction of these using LAH, certain dissolving metal/acid reductions or catalytic hydrogenation to reduce the double bond of the nitrostyrene and then reduction of the nitro  group to the amine gives the desired product.

The intermediate nitroalkenes are easily worked up too, being insoluble in ice-cold H2O. So all thats needed is to allow the reaction mixture to cool to room temperature, pack ice around the rxn vessel then salt it, adding some methylated spirits or antifreeze and it'll cool right down, then throw it onto cracked ice chunks, results in an instant solidification of the nitroalkenes as pale yellow crystals with hints usually of a pumpkin-orange byproduct, that is easily removed  by H2O washing with ice-cold water followed by recrystallizing the nitrostyrenes/nitropropenes from dry isopropanol, or even MeOH/EtOH, which, followed by another H2O wash does a nearr perfect job of  removing the (usually fairly modest in quantity compared with the nitroalkenes, depennding on the substituted benzaldehyde used as well as the base.Some substrates work better with some bases than others. Triethylenetetramine, recystallized  from certain two-part epoxy kits (as the hardener compound portion) and used as the freebase seems to work excellently with at least substituted aldehydes of the 2,5-dimethoxy-4-substituted pattern where the 4' phenyl carbon bears an electron-donating substituent such as an alkyl or alkyl ether. Certainly, TETA works a treat for 2,5-dimethoxy-4-lower alkyl benzaldehydes, such as 4-methyl. Only a tiny orange halo of pumpkin orange byproduct. Rextyl'n from boiling isopropanol eliminates that completely.

The Etard reagent, CrO2Cl2 is made by distilling a mixture of sodium dichromate or potassium dichromate (1 mol), common table salt (NaCl, 4 mol per mole of dichromate) then addition of 6 moles of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4, 6 mol per mol dichromate) after first thoroughly mixing the dichromate and the salt, slow addition of the conc. H2SO4 (98% acid works) and then distillation and collection of the distillate that starts to come over at 117 'C. Addition of the sulfuric should be slow, and the reagents anhydrous, or at least well-dried, baking the shite out of the table salt in the oven first prior to use in the synth, isn't a bad idea. And storage of the dichromate in a dessicator over anhydrous CaCl2 isn't either. The collection flask must be equipped with an efficient condensor with a drying tube packed with a dessicant on top, in order to exclude air and moisture. Preferably running with a salted ice-methylated spirits-water mixture through the condensor, since this powerful electrophillic oxidizer is moisture sensitive and it fumes in air, its a volatile liquid, looks rather like bromine, dark orange-ruddy reddish brown, which fumes in air and reacts VIOLENTLY with water. And on many substrates if applied neatly, such as for instance, to sulfur, it will start a fire, so efficient protection of the collection flask is vital. As is making sure not to allow either water vapor to enter the collection flask, or the CrO2Cl2 vapours to escape into the atmosphere, since hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI) is toxic and probably carcinogenic. This fuming, volatile, vicious wee bugger of an oxidizing agent is nasty stuff, but it IS damn useful, because selective oxidation of an alcohol to an aldehyde is rather a difficult synthetic transformation to pull off. A similar although not identical complex with pyridine, pyridinium chlorochromate or PCC is quite a bit safer as an Etard reagent. Never made PCC, but apparently it can be made by adding a solution of pyridinium chloride in ice-cold concentrated hydrochloric acid to solid chhromium trioxide with stirring. AFAIK its a solid, and doesn't give off the highly corrosive and at best, pretty damn poisonous, toxic fumes that CrO2Cl2 does.

I'm thinking I need to buy myself some pyridine, since its a reagent currently I lack. Its nasty shit, it stinks something foul and is somewhat toxic. Widely voted on one hobby chemist forum as one of the absolute top few or very worst of all the filthy stenches of any chemical. Smells like rotting fish and dead, decaying flesh. Only worse. You might know the smell actually since pyridine is often added in traces to denatured alcohol to add warning properties and render it utterly undrinkable. Apparently a single drop in a liter or so of alcohol makes it a truly gutwrenching stinker. But PCC is safer, than chromyl chloride and the potential youtube business fella has done a large-scale synthesis and distillation of chromyl chloride already. Not sure if he's done anything like PCC or N-alkylpyridinium chlorochromates such as butylpyridinium chlorochromate. And I have everything I need at least, for the preparation of chromyl chloride. Just need to get round to distilling some chloroform in which to use the reagent without the solvent bursting into flames and drying it, stabilizing the chloroform with a little alcohol and NaHCO3 to prevent it decomposing slowly in storage, because otherwise over time it can produce phosgene gas, which is absolutely terrifyingly deadly toxic. And there is no antidote. One breath and your dead man walking if there is enough present. Or smaller amounts over time can cumulatively fatally poison the unfortunate victim. Accidentally formed once, it almost got me. Luckily for me I recognized the odour of it, and instantly masked up and began decontamination procedures, going outside to breathe, even with the mask on, Because with phosgene in a lethal exposure, which can occur in minutes with even small quantities, you just do not get a second chance. And its known to penetrate at least some masks. Was used in the days of the world wars as a replacement for chlorine gas, since it would go straight through masks of the time intended for protection against Cl2 (I actually find chlorine, although smelling pretty nasty, to be fairly tame, and easily usable in syntheses without its escaping to the environment, its quite reactive but by no means all too difficult to handle.as a gas. Although I've never had to use it in a cryogenic liquid state, which for a few chemistry procedures is done rather than using  gaseous chlorine. Its handy as a gas because it replaces either iodine in iodides or bromine from ionic bromide salts (such as sodium, or potassium bromides) to liberate free elemental iodine or bromine. And both I2 and Br2 are volatile and a shitbag to store. I2 has this nasty tendency to pass through the walls of containers slowly and vaporize away. And Br2 is worse, and needs storage in glass amps that are sealed totally from the environment, Fumes like a fucking bastard to give hydrogen bromide gas/vapours of hydrobromic acid on contact with the airborne water vapor. And Cl2 is easily generated whenever it is desired by oxidizing hydrochloric acid either with manganese dioxide (obtainable from batteries), faster than MnO2 oxidation is oxidizing concentrated hydrochloric using potassium permanganate, or theres always the option that uses the least quantities of least valuable reagents, more or less none in fact. Electrolytic production of Cl2 from table salt. Rate controllable simply by regulation of the current and voltage from the power supply. And if needs be, if producing Cl2 at a low rate, flushing the supply lines with argon to push the chlorine through a  solution of the easily stored, tame as can be potassium or sodium iodide/bromides thus allowing for production of elemental iodine or bromine upon desire just before it is to be made use of, this negating the otherwise pain in the arse of storing either.  Just keep the iodide or bromide, and pass Cl2 through same, under water, ideally done as a solution of the bromide or iodide salt, upon which the desired halogen falls out to the bottom as either liquid bromine, or solid I2. In the case of bromine, it then needs cooling as much as possible and drying over anhydrous CaBr2, the cooling being to reduce fuming, after tapping off the bromine layer from the water in the recieving flask, or for iodine, drying by squeezing in bog roll then sublimation and resublimation to dry and purify it. The Br2 can also be distilled if needed, carefully mind you, as Br2 being a liquid, unlike Cl2 or solid iodine will cause severe burns upon contact with skin. I know someone who was bitten by bromine and she ended up in hospital. Whereas momentary skin contact with chlorine gas is nothing worse than irritant at worse, I've never even noticed any problems  from its touching unbroken skin, and iodine just needs handling like a rather hot bit of food in the hand, moving it from place to place, this way it can, although the less the better, be handled without burning, although it does instantaneously cause a brownish black discoloration of the skin, or if touching clothing made from natural fiber, at least cotton, it WILL burn holes in it and they will forevermore be dark violet black. Iodine does not play well with clothing. Got a labcoat (well it is one now) that got iodinated years ago and its never shown the slightest degree of losing the discoloration.

I don't know much about youtube advertising. The chemist that runs it is pretty highly respected though on the forum through which the offer came. And there is in essence, nothing to lose. Since I'd be doing things I'd be doing anyway, and they specify quite explicitly, no illegal compounds, and is pretty tight about precursors to same too.

Their channel is large, and they don't mind me not showing my face either. I think I'd insist, on the money going to a prepaid credit card too. Isolable from any other funding I have anywhere, or  being paid in bitcoins or another such cryptocurrency.

I have to confess, so to speak, that I am pretty cagey about showing my face. That, I'm not about to do. But hood and gas mask along with goggles, blast-shield etc covering my face and the entire of the rest of my head. Any other identifiable clothing not worn etc. That and the fact that they demanded from the beginning nothing illegal, non-negotiable on that point not that I was going to try. And the fact that if its something I would be doing already, anyway, and thus spending nothing that was not already earmarked to be spent on that selfsame thing, even if it falls through completely, I still don't actually make any material loss no matter what happens or how badly. There is of course the theoretical risk of being melted alive by something, but again, if I'm, already to be working with something that would happily eat your face off given half a micron of extra leash then what do I stand to lose?

At the very worst, them nicking the videos, not crediting me and claiming it as their own work, without paying for it, then at the very least, in a sense, I still gain, by the fact that the work would help teach other up and coming hobbyist and/or clandestine chemists, biohackers and similar tech-punk-ish breeds. Most of who'm just gotta be autistic or pretty close to being on the spectrum in some description....I reckon a fair dash of short-bus genes is in the job description for your average DIY alchemist-sort. The kind that would be happier amongst boiling cauldrons of acid than being waited on hand and foot in a royal palace, we really can't be anything else but with at least a dash of spazz. No? although I don't think this particular individual is likely to fuck me over, because they have a large channel, a long history of it, and a name for themselves. And money coming in because of it, to them. That isn't something that people are logically likely to be inclined to piss away on a whim for something that would vanish in a heartbeat and next be found in the forums heaping opprobrium upon them and howling curses at their good (very good in fact, if its who I am pretty sure I remember it is, and where they are) name. A lot to lose, is what I mean, for very little benefit, and if I was made a victim in such a manner, loses little or makes a slight gain, and would by even a false accusation, not that I am the type to do that to anyone, be capable of doing them immense damage or ruining them outright. To do that falsely of course I'd have to be a malicious bastard and then some. But if treated like shit in such a way myself, I'd be as quick as a snake to turn on them and bite them. Only thing is, if I stab them, I'll stab them in the front, not the back. But I'd certainly poison the blade and twist it in the metaphorical dagger-wound and give 'em a thorough kick in the face as I left.

Randomly looking downwards as I cross the space from house to shed, noticing that there is now several streaks of  black circular carbonized charred spaces radiating out from a central point and crossing the garden, from when my alembic failed, presumably not borosilicate glass after all, and resulted in streaks of white phosphorus splattering over the lawn. Really did a number on it, burnt its way halfway to china before stopping.

Thinking we had a great family time, yesterday.

My eighteen year old son only wanted ONE thing for his birthday (a week ago); a trip to "The Children's Museum" down in Indianapolis.  We had to schedule the trip, but yesterday it came together,  Obviously they have amazing interactive things for kids but also, MUCH of interest for the adults as well. 

Some photos I took:

A three story tall Transformer,  a "real"  casting of a duckbill dinosaur, a five foot long bronze of the "old school" look of T-rex and the head of a thirty foot long Chinese ceremonial dragon.

Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: DirtDawg on March 06, 2017, 01:59:23 PM
More:

A carved wood head of an articulated joint snake-like dragon, a cut paper sculpture of a Chinese zodiac calendar detail, a basswood carved family protection amulet of a Chinese warrior and the REAL  Liberty Bell 7, lost at sea for over thirty years.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: DirtDawg on March 06, 2017, 02:11:44 PM
More:

First is The Real Thing, once used as a "push locomotive" to handle local hills too steep to use pull engines to climb or descend, Then three from the electric toy train collection which is massive and amazing. Most of these toy trains are from the thirties, but they have electric trains going back to the first ones invented.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: DirtDawg on March 06, 2017, 02:59:58 PM
The last for now:

Blown glass sculpture about four stories tall, couple of details of a real working carousel from the '30s, and of course the obligatory ten foot tall mastodon skeleton,  a "real" casting of a real fossil.

That cut paper sculpture included the entire calendar. I was just posting dragons for some reason. The detail is amazing.

Liberty Bell 7 is on temporary loan from its home museum. We were really lucky to get to stand five feet from it allowing the awe to wash over us.
It " lives"  at a place called the Cosmosphere in Kansas.

He does, but he is into tanks right now. He hasn't perfected those yet.

Last time he became obsessed with folding paper things, he was sort into guns and made a paper revolver that would actually open the cylinder. Then he made a double barrel shotgun that would actually break front and he had little shot shells for ammo he could load.

These are not perfect origami, because he does use tape in places to make the movements work better.

Top pic reminds me of the mech in one of the alien films, near the end, either alien III or alien resurrection, can't remember which, when ripley climbs into that big mecha suit and goes toe to toe slugging it out with the alien queen before getting the queen sucked out into space.

Me...I'm doing some reading up on the legal codes, deadly boring at best, but needed so I can sock it to the filth, give those shit-eating svinya a taste of their own medicine. I'd say 'kick their arses' but I wouldn't wish to accidentally sully any mouldering dog shit if ever I've stepped in any recently. Found some useful background too from their previous harassment of me, where the pig refused to give identification when ID was demanded of it, and a witnessed previous verbal admission that they were on a fishing expedition and had no probable cause. Which should be awfully useful when it comes to court (I haven't been charged with anything, but this is going to court one way or the other. In fact I'm planning on it. If those bastards don't take me to court, I'm sure as hell taking them. Fucking lying bastards and their illegal warrants, illegal entry, false imprisonment, neglect of duty of medical care, failing to provide food in custody, attempts to coerce a statement using denial of medical needs (which were available, I had everything I needed brought with me in terms of medication), murdering pets, theft, malicious damage to property, refusal to pay for the damage despite no charges or convictions...oh boy, I've been brewing this cauldron of fury up for years. And thats not even getting started. Coming dangerously close to burning my house down...nearly blinding me...Not letting these fucking whoresons get away with this shit.  human rights violations, I'm just seeing how much metaphorical ammo I can load up for when I stick it to the cunts; because its high time those donut-munching sacks of putrescent porcine excrement were put on a fucking leash. Preferably round their scrotums, whilst they are dangled by same over a pit of scorpions, in order to have them have to simply wait and swing, whilst said leash cuts off the blood flow to their balls, what little they have, if any, and their dick rots off from gangrene, resulting in their abrupt descent into aforementioned scorpion-pit. None of those quick-killing venom packing ones either. Hemiscorpius lepturus would be perfect, with its not neurotoxicity-focused, slow, cruel flesh-flaying necrotic cytotoxic venom (its effects are more in line with recluse spider or rattlesnake/other viper venom than other scorpions and in a sense, skins its victims alive, causing their skin and muscle to become necrotic and dissolve/rot away. Very, very unusual, almost unique amongst scorpions)

Some of my favourite movies, along with the 'predator' series, and the crossover AVP movies (there are a couple of really good videogames based on the alien vs predator series where you get to play out the same game, oriented really differently, through the perspectives of the three different species, even cycling through the lifecycle of the alien, first as a facehugger, impregnating a marine, hatching then chewing your way out of him in order to gain your first health and strength, then bursting through his ribcage, scurrying around taking small prey and hiding in airvents in order to grow into the full-sized alien drone before starting the mayhem, with cutscenes as the various species filling out the story. Great games. A lot of fun as the predator with its cloaking device and taking heads for trophies. Or as an alien, a lot less physically tough, but lightening fast, very agile and capable of running through airducts, straight up walls, along ceilings looking downwards, can't stand much direct assault, but rarely needs to, taking advantage of stealth, hiding in shadows coupled with razor-sharp claws, ability to eat the corpses of your enemies in order to heal, a long barbed stinger tail, acid for blood and if you line up the target just right, those inner jaws  for an instant kill and fully healing head-bite. Predator is tough as nails, and packs the cloaking device and a variety of hunting-oriented weaponry whilst the alien can smell right through the cloak but against humans they have to get really close up or see you decloak in order to heal, and playing as a human, basically a traditional grunt of a space-marine in the wrong place at the wrong time, carries a motion tracker to get a heads up on movement and an arsenal of really heavy weapons (at least you hope you have rounds in the chamber when something nasty starts llegging it towards you in the dark, hanging off the roof of a ship or a cave on the nearby planet, and those damn facehuggers, best have a flamethrower to target them as they jump far and your insta-fucked as either predator or alien (although the predator can set the vision modes of its mask to track targets with the shoulder-mounted plasma weapon it carries, or it's thrown razor-edged disk thing can lock onto targets to take heads for trophies at long range (and same with the speargun, although it doesn't track, its funny as hell because as the predator, it has this speargun-like sniper rifle that fires a long hypervelocity sharp bolt fast enough that wherever its aimed, it will hit, and hit hard enough with a head-shot to take the head right off its former owner's shoulders and pin it to the next solid surface in its trajectory for pickup when you get there. or just plain old rip off bodyparts)

It is actually a BIG window, but you can decide how much of it you want to see through at you own choosing.

Search for more Santana.

Brings a tear to me eye!

She is another worth exploring if you like guitar work.

Santana once said about her, and I have to paraphrase, ...

She is not just a cute little girl playing guitar anymore. We have to take her sensuously, now.

Funny how I am so special all the time. The Dr. asked if I would mind if he did some more tests on me after he had decided that I am all done. I asked what kind of tests.

"Just some joint stability and firmness tests along with some flexibility measurements." He said that despite the hard start I had, I am a kind of amazing success story for hip replacement and he would be appreciative if I could further his education by allowing a few simple measurements.

I agreed.
He invited me back to his table for the first time in over two years, then told me he needed to shift my leg around and measure flexibility and called for his assistant.
HE produced a rather large protractor type device from a drawer and told me to stop him before it hurts. He took my leg up over his shoulder, with his assistant using the measuring device and recording the results, he twisted me in every direction that my joints could possibly move.

It took half an hour to complete his "tests," measuring every damn angle of flexion I could imagine, but he told me that he was very impressed with my progress. He even had me expose my surgery scar so that he could take measurements of it. He shook his head, said how often it is that the scar is three or four times as deep.

I asked if he did this testing with all his patients, he told me that it is quite obvious that I keep myself in great physical shape and almost none of his other patients even try. He said that his typical surgical patient finds out there is something wrong, they just fold and give up, get through the procedure and just call it quits.

He applauded my efforts to regain use of my lower body (did mention that my core - belly needed some attention) and asked if I was doing other exercises than what he had suggested. LOL!  I said, "A few."  Honestly, he had stretched me out fairly well and he DID ask.

Then I took my "replaced hip"  leg up to within a couple inches of his top coat rack hook (about six feet high) on the wall, tapped it with my foot and held there for about a second, spun around and almost reached the same height with other side.
Told him that I have always worked out on a bag since I was in high school, and that I missed being able to kick well for almost four years. Thanked him for helping me get a bit of my confidence back. Then jokingly said that my bionic hip is better than my old one.

Very strange day, indeed.

Wny not get those run-flat tyres, that way if anyone takes a shot at your tyres whilst your driving you have a better chance of scarpering?

If it wasn't for the seizures stopping me driving altogether (despite the fact that they only seem to happen whilst I am starting to wake up, and that with common sense should mean that I'd be safe enough driving, since I'd be as dangerous if I just went to sleep at the wheel as I would having  a seizure), and I could drive, I'd make sure to be fitting run-flat tyres to my car for sure.

I wish people had taken my Orianthi links seriously.

It was my way of defending against (the stupidity) and/or supporting this Day without a Woman thing that has happened.

I searched out every instance of a woman actually doing what men do on guitar ( and just for those out there who have never tried to play electric guitar, it takes a great deal of hand strength to bend an entire chord - one string, not bad - but a fucking entire chord like she can - on a fucking Stratocaster even MORE on a Les Paul!!!  One HAS to admire this woman. )

I spent most of my day loving what not only famous women do, but loving on my wife's efforts to help our family trudge through all that we all do. We would be lost without her. I would be lost without her.

The entire construct of our online media lives would be lessened without the likes of Orianthi, Joan Jett, Nancy Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Chrissy Hinde, Courtney Love, Liz Phair, Melissa Ethridge, Corey Cooper, Grace Potter,   and on and on and on ....

I could not possibly do a listing justice, but FFS! That was just a few of the rockers I can recall off the top of my hat. Getting into the classical female guitarists will blow your minds.

Now lets talk about female drummers.

I used to "own" (had a mortgage) my own flat. I loved it. It was before I had a computer, so I used to spend time improving my garden that I started and I also painted the inside of the flat. It was while I was living there that I got my ADHD and autism dxes. It could have been those events that set me on the path to mental illness. I had to sell my flat. I made a profit though, so I paid off my parents' mortgage so my stepdad didn't have to work anymore.

Eh, TL:DR, I would like to own my own place again. There's nothing like it.

Thinking about colours for different spaces in the house. Daughter and I will switch rooms. The room she will get is the first to tackle, after that her former room, to tansform it into a nice bedroom for me. In between I may find myself working on bits on the landing, the hallway and the toilet.

And, in the future, when al waterstains have dried, the livingroom.

Happy that as a tenant I  am allowed to do that.

Time to swap out the chlorine generator for a fresh charge and get ready with the inert gas, refill the coolant bath with cold water, especially now the sun has come out and its plenty hot out. Need to use a bigger flask though since the reaction I'm running now is producing plenty iodine monochloride. I noticed that its crystalline form, below the melting point (or one of them at least, it has two)  has been forming these acicular, dendritic looking and rather nice looking crystals during the time of its distilling over into the receiver. At first just into the receiving flask, but also into growing up the distillation adapter and first inch or two of the longer of the two condensers, the one containing the iodine. Odd looking crystal habit, like, kind of dendritic but ray-like. Going to have a rollup now I'm back home from my tech-splurging then its time to swap out the chlorine line and use positive pressure plus a home-hacked direct to bottle distillation device that will allow the Cl2 to be generated and equalize the pressure, relying on a one-way valve-based system. so that I will be able to distill the iodine monochloride directly out from the receiving flask into a bottle from which to transfer it to a chemically resistant glass bottle without its escaping, gas mask or no gas mask I don't want to be breathing that shit in.

Hoping today to be slightly shorter.

  Why would you want to be shorter?  :zawik:  :autism:

Some sleep would be nice.

  I mean you, not the day.  The wording confused me.  :autism:

I thought he meant by "Some sleep would be nice" because I thought people shrunk a bit when lying down. But then I realised, actually, you grow a bit, then shrink again during the day.

You lot are such spazzes.

Thinking about my friend who had pain in her back last week. They thought she had pleurisy, then after tests, a pulmonary embolism, then also appendix or gall bladder trouble, now, after a CT scan, there is fluid around her heart. She is way over the top obese so I am wondering if that and her inactivity has been one of the causes of these problems. :(

Thank you, cbc. She had an ultrasound on her legs today (to look for clots I think) and she is having a lung test right now, I think. She had to go to another hospital for that. I am waiting for her to text me.

The sooner you plant, the better chance you will have of blooms next spring. I can recommend cherry trees for their blossoms, but if you have the wherewithal  to grow a real producing tree, you will have cherries for many years to come.

Last year I planted plum trees and they have yet to show themselves, even though they seem healthy in the fall. I fear that my plum trees (just four)  did not get a satisfactory winter rest period.

I live about thirty miles north and a bit east if Indianapolis.

We have had several nights of sub-zero temps over the winter, just like always, but all told this has been the mildest Indiana winter I have ever seen.

I also have two foot tall spring onion greens I have been enjoying for about three weeks and chives that are almost a foot tall. My tulips, daffodils and crocuses are all blooming at the same time.

Strange onset of spring!

OH, and my broccoli and Brussel's sprouts are both over a foot tall, planted from seed left over from last year.

All this talk of planting reminded me, this year's poppy seeds need to be planted soon I should think. Although its a long and labour-intensive process from seeds to harvest time. Not difficult, just lots of work hauling fertilizer and irrigating areas of waste ground.

I need to forget everybody, and realise I have no-one, truly.

I need to get out of this.

That isn't a suicide threat, btw. Or a plee for sympathy, even though I would love it.

No. I need to stop clinging onto false hope. If Dox was for me he would talk to me and be there for me. He doesn't want me. He doesn't care at all about me or my situation. It hurts. I have nobody and need to rely on myself.

You should.

My truck is a bit of a low mileage prima donna so fun is cruising and the occasional load of dirt or mulch, but SO has a little red 4x4 tracker we share. Wheelbase is about the size of a Jeep.

The "tomato" (as it is dubbed) can be a truly radical amount of fun.

Less coverage needed for the beater.

When it dies, part it out and sell the rest for scrap.

It also attracts a different type of "fanboy" in the parking lots...typically ones that like mud.  >:D

Glad I went to see my family for Mothers Day. I bought Mum a hardcover book from Amazon - Watership Down. Not the most uplifting book but a long time ago Mum told me bits and pieces about it as if she missed having the book. Most of the time she only reads things once (not like me, I find comfort in reading books I like more than once). But today she was smiling as she looked through the book at its pictures.

I find it hard to think of things to give Mum that make her happy but I have been doing pretty well at it lately. :)

Post by: Lestat on May 21, 2017, 01:25:01 PM
For price sake and availability, I could do with producing my own acetic anhydride. Most likely the easiest way to do this is to acetylate glacial acetic acid (which I have plenty of), mainly want it for producing other anhydrides, but the easiest, practical way to do it seems o be using ketene. Now, I can build a ketene lamp alright, but the problem is, ketene, CH2=C=O is REALLY fucking nasty ass shit. So it will have to be remotely operated, and EVERYTHING discharged through scrubbers and any exhaust gases burnt, because its about ten times the toxicity of KCN (potassium cyanide). Not as bad as say, phosgene, but close enough to stare up phosgene's arse crack. *shudders*

This is something that will need every precaution, and only to be operated at night, when there are no possible bystanders, since one breath is enough to do for you. I'm not trusting my gas mask to that. No way. But when ketene is passed into glacial acetic acid (GAA is just extremely concentrated, waterless acetic acid) it forms the anhydride. Probably some of the nastiest shit I'll ever have handled. bar maybe some of the mercury salts, hydrogen sulfide and iodine monochloride, although excepting H2S none of those has anything near that kind of lethality. Going to build a self-contained, fully remote operated reactor for this, to house the ketene lamp itself. Easy to make the stuff, dangerous to handle, the core of it is basically a reflux still that boils and vaporises acetone, the vapors rising up a condenser and going past a heated resistance wire coil of platinum wire or nichrome (got the latter), the acetone rises up past the coil, some ketene is formed, then the rest passes back down in a cycle, the ketene gas is tapped off, impurities are removed in a second column, condensed in a flask, and then the ketene gas is passed out, pushed by a stream of inert gas into a container of GAA, which over time, as enough ketene is slowly produced, forms acetic anhydride. I'd rather not buy AA, since heroin makers use it to acetylate morphine. Not me personally, since there are better things I could do with morphine if I chose to do so. I'll just build the thing tonight, probably not test it, since I only have a very little bit of acetone left atm, and that has been especially treated, and the bottle is kept sealed to keep the drying agent drying only acetone and nothing else, for when I need it anhydrous.

Might wait until more gets here, or somewhere in between. Because I'm tired, cranky and need sleep.

Fun with matches-in wiccan circles, coven members believe (for the most part) that such a direct attempt to force the will of another, the stereotypical 'love potion/love spell' type stuff is unethical, and violates the threefold law. At least, if it is directed at a specific individual. Acting in an attempt to draw the perfect person, without directing it a specific individual, a general 'call to ''mr/miss right' is usually viewed as another matter entirely. But if it did work, would you really be happy with yourself, knowing that you forced yourself on somebody you love or care for? I wouldn't. Even if I could wave a magic wand and both find my ex fiancee and bind her to me, I wouldn't do it. Track her down, sure, but I wouldn't lift a finger to bend her free will by any other means than my words and conduct towards her. I'd give almost anything I own or am to have her back, but precisely because I still love her as much as the day, first week we met and knew each other, that same day she threw me into a tree at the point of a paintball gun and stuck her tongue down my throat..even after more than 20 years, I wouldn't even consider doing anything that would or could force her hand. Because she is her own person, with the right to do what she damn well wants. (not afraid to use it either:)....fuck me, what a girl. I really would watch the world burn to be back by her side. haven't seen her since she was 14. But given the chance, If  I could change things timewise, I'd have spent the rest of my life with her.

But to take from her that element of choice? shit no. In fact I'd kill somebody for trying. Why? precisely because that is what makes her, her, and what guides her hand in the path she chooses in life. To attempt to forcibly change that, it would be an abomination.

I like analysing things and knowing the why behind it. To other people it's ranting, for me it's fascinating, depending on the subject of course.

But yeh, I feel invisible IRL, I guess because most people don't think like me. It's general, not very deep. On OKCupid I had lots of guys message me, some cute. But I would ask a great question (relating to their interests) and then I would get a mediocre answer, immediately followed by, "How are you?" and it put me off.

But yeh, in a sense I'm scared of meeting my/a match. For instance, I hate unreliability. I've purposely backed from crushes before who were unreliable. It hurts and feels wrong to the heart, but what if my match was that? I would end it. Life is not worth so much uncertainty and heartache.

Wanting somebody who is within reasonable expectations, reliable is perfectly natural. People who aren't, generally don't give enough of a damn, and that makes somebody not worth dating in the first place. Unless of course there is some E.g medical or other genuine reason why they often cannot make it, but even then they should make their best efforts to let you know when and what and why.

What am I thinking...just thinking what a pain to have to convert the .mov quicktime format of the videos my camera will take into first .AVI then into something reasonable and not that belongs in the fucking stone age, like say, .MP4. AVI and .MOV are massive in terms of file size. Just took a video for my science corner a little over 3 minutes long and in .mov the fucking thing was just over 36.5 megabytes in size! for 3 minutes or so! wish I had the option on the camera both to choose file output type for videos and pics (although for pics .jpeg isn't problematic) and also, I'd really like  a camera that had a setting not to generate any metadata, no eXif tags and geolocation tags because I then have to strip the finished videos of metadata, convert format, strip it again, convert it finally to a proper format then strip it again before I upload the thing to a host and link it here.

The most important thing for you is to be able to live with you. Think that that is really important in any relationship, that you get along with yourself.
A relationship can add to your happiness, but a partner is not the one to expect happiness from. Nor should you be the one making your partner happy.

Sure, a connection, reliability, trust and attraction are important. It might still be that some thoughts are better to share with a friend than your partner. There is no total match.
And part of the match will grow while being in a relationship.

If you are going to look for a relationship, one thing I've seen you say here is that you have been afraid and pushed people away because of this. If your looking to be in one, you need to let yourself be open to one in the first place, assuming the right one can be found. And if your head starts coming up with petty excuses to throw away an opportunity actually worth taking, such as say, I seem to recall you refused one guy because he liked a TV show you don't. If you start on at yourself with that kind of petty self-excuse-making, ignore them.

Also don't waste time pissing around with wiccan stuff, spell-books, incantations, grimoires, fetishes (I.e the 'poppet' or voodoo doll meaning of the word, according to its african liguistic origin, rather than its modern sexual meaning), black pacts or anything of that nature. 

And a little advice if I may? be careful, and be sincere in what you wish for, lest you get it.

But set yourself a goal, and work towards it. Be practical, and mindful of that which you wish to achieve, work out who, how, why and if your compatible or not. If not, why not? hopefully that will save you some heartache,

Pretty sure I never refused a guy because he liked a TV programme I didn't. As for being afraid and pushing people away, it's only if they are not compatible with me and I see us falling out in the future. For instance I have dated unreliable men, and really wanted to be with them. But for obvious reasons, they kept letting me down. It is hard to push away someone I really like. If I really want them, I make it very obvious. I'm not scared away by men I really like, just talking to strangers without any connection.

I would go out with a man who I liked (and who was reliable) in a heartbeat. Take for instance that guy Chris, I gave him a really good chance. He was an alcoholic and couldn't afford to go out anywhere, and he kept blanking me whenever I had a problem. AND he wouldn't even see me. If he is the guy you are referring to about the TV programme, I think I had a pretty good reason to end it.

Exactly. Which is why I feel Lestat it was a bit unfair to say I ditched a guy because he liked a different programme than me. It was far more than that.

Lestat wouldn't have meant anything mean by it. He probably just confused some of the details. It's easy for that to happen on a board like this. The important thing is that you made a good and healthy decision for yourself. Well done :)

They are a putrid rotting stinking used tampon in the candy floss of life. And when they die (oh please make it within the next fifteen seconds or so...) they will end up sucked down to hell in a flaming maw, only for it to rise back to earth, make some spasmodic twitching motions, crawl across the floor looking paler than hell should look, and then for it to vomit them back up and stagger back to the abyss with its hell-fire tinged a lurid barium ion green shade of nauseated.

One of the "happiest days of my life"  was yesterday!!

I went to watch the ceremony where my son graduated high school. FUCK SAKE!! He did it.

There were recent times when I was worried. When logging on to his school pages as a parent and for instance finding that he had two grades in Finite Math; one hundred percent and zero percent.  Meaning that he gets it just fine, passes all the tests, etc. but has a lot of work he has not completed and turned in. 

We got with his counselor/handler and found a way to make up the lost work over the past weeks. Thing is, I can remember helping with some of it a while back and watching him struggle to complete his assignments. THEN to not even turn that work in to his instructor, after struggling so much to focus and finish the assignments seemed insane to me.

BUT, it is all over now, HE DID IT!! I have a legal document from the State Of Indiana to prove it! My autistic son has graduated from a standard public high school!


:woohoo:

My animals would think I had gone insane.

I talk to my dog and cat all the time. Watching their reactions to my words is a good part of my life and really good for my  "recovery"  from a rough week.
I think they enjoy listening to me (I like to think that)  and watching them respond with their own vocalizations fills me with even more love for them.

If I could go away for a weekend and not have to speak to anyone either in person, or by phone or text or email, that would be perfect right now.

My animals would think I had gone insane.

I talk to my dog and cat all the time. Watching their reactions to my words is a good part of my life and really good for my  "recovery"  from a rough week.
I think they enjoy listening to me (I like to think that)  and watching them respond with their own vocalizations fills me with even more love for them.

Me likes me animals!

Congrats, DD. Awesome that your son got through and graduated.
Girl of mine will find out next week if she finished half of her exams. She'll do the other half next year.

Believe me, there were some times that made us question the "wisdom" of sending him to public school.
We thought how making him a project for more researchers could be worse than being thrown in the river with the advice, "sink or swim."
He has two "friends"  that he made in high school. They mainly interact on Skype or via email or a few games they share, but this may not have occurred at all if we had coddled him into our bosom and prevented the world from doing its worst to him. He Made It.

I might say, "Good luck,"  in the case of your youngling, but since much of this is a performance, maybe I should say,  "Break a leg!"

She is getting old, but I am HER person.

George Carlin said it well.

Have to paraphrase, unless I do a google search, but the gist:

Think of the average person you encounter every day and imagine how stupid they really are.
Now, knowing how stupid the average person really is, you have to come to realize that half the population is even stupider than THAT!

I actually have a book in the works. I will post it here when it's out. It just needs the final editing (My editor was in a horrific motorcycle accident) but the working title is "Letters To My Dogs Because I Like Them More Than People." I write letters to them describing the hilarious and maddening things they do. It's been this hilarious project going on for 4 years. They've garnered a big online following so Book 1 is done and I'm working on book 2 now.

You are writing a book miss K? sweet. I'd love to have a read when you've finished if you might be so good as to let me have a peek. Admittedly I am more a cat person or spider/scorpion person than a dog person, only ever had one dog, she was a rescue-stroke-kidnapping dog. Was when I was just a wee kid, their owners were total cunts that just threw the dog out on the street all day, every day and left her to fend for herself. So I did what had to be done and, well, pretty much just went and got a new collar and name tag etc. and stole me one unwanted, neglected dog, and gave her a better home. I imagine the former 'rightful' owner must have been fairly fucked off about their dog vanishing; but in all honesty, if they'd ever have seen me walking her, I'd have just turned on them and told them 'yes I stole your dog you neglectful bag of sewage, fucking shitheads like you don't deserve to have responsibility for an animal and bugger you if you have a problem with it' :D


I don't really consider it as having been a theft actually. I consider it a liberation and something that had to be done, because the fucking pricks were just kicking her out every day to roam about the streets, looked awfully thin when she was first dog-napped. Soon has her fed up and looking nice and healthy. Sadly eventually she got hit by a car and killed :( but while she was under my care I made damn well sure that she always had things a lot better than when she was stuck with the fucking pricks that left her to go hungry and have nothing to do save walk the streets all day.   If there is one thing I utterly despise, its cheese sauce....no, but if there is anything else I really can't stand, its fucking arseholes that are cruel to animals.


Hope its comeing on well my dear.

I'm wondering how her royal cuteness the PR is these days. Not heard much about her of late QV. How is she doing? been thinking of her of late and wondering how she is. *sends my warm well wishes to the PR :)*

Good for you for looking out for the pup. Everyone needs a defender. Did I tell you I'm getting a lizard? Right now I just want a small one. I'm going to get either a crested or a leaftailed. Not sure which. Eventually I want to get a beardie but I'm going to wait awhile. Right now I'm leaning towards a crested gecko. They're so cute!!

Sweet. Was no puppy though, rottweiler looking thingy, or dobermann, always mix the two up-I mean the thinner of the two. But yeah I agree, it had to be done, fuck the RSPCA those bastards are as likely to murder as to rehome, and I know I'll take good care of any animal in need. I've had a fair few....odd..pets. A raven/rook, a baby hedgehog I took in once when I found it in a back alley, way too underweight to overwinter and survive, took him in and kept the spiky wee devil awake through the winter and fed him up until he'd gone from skin and bones, a tiny little thing to nice and plump and definitely the happier for his stay at chateaux de lestat :) kept various spiders, false, brown and black widows, a tank of leeches as a kid. Only lizards I've kept though have been newts and slow-worms (a kind of legless lizard, they look a lot like snakes, but aren't, and are getting pretty rare here, AFAIK officially you're not allowed to mess with them, but I did anyway, since I was catching them, breeding them and setting the young free in more areas, so it wasn't a matter of the pet trade, but was running a conservation effort. Which IMO is a completely justifiable reason to catch 'em.  I just didn't have, or give two fucks about the letter of the law in doing it, what mattered was assisting the species. And the individual adults I caught were always taken the best of care of.

And reported a pet store owner (twice, before anything got done), didn't end up with the critter, and wouldn't have taken it on anyway, but the fucking prick owner had been keeping a sugar glider (think wee flying squirrel looking critter, cute as..well almost as cute as you, only furry. But definitely adorable as hell:)) and keeping it on its own in a glass tank that must have been a few feet wide and 8 inches or so tall. They are obligate social creatures, and need both their own kind, and if in captivity without can die as a result. Plus, they need space to fly (they are...well imagine what you'd get if you could crossbreed an edible dormouse and a bat, with a bit of flying squirrel in there and season liberally with a near misskitty-level of fucking cute as hell that makes one automatically go 'awwwwwwwww' inside on sight. Ended up anonymously tipping the animal welfare lot off about it, and then ringing them back up and giving some poor bastard such an earful of grief when something wasn't done promptly. It did get moved out though, after I ended up threatening to do some pretty unspeakable things to random animal welfare officers if something wasn't done, and done quickly. Bad things were going to happen if that tiny little sweetie wasn't taken away, and there is no WAY IN HELL that I'd leave a critter of any kind to die from pining for company, confined in a tiny little hole. If something wasn't done about that, I was pretty close to walking in there, severing the phone lines and taking the glider at gunpoint if needs had been. I'm one of the biggest animal lovers you'll ever know miss K, probably give you a run for your money :)

I agree with FWM.

I dated a guy who had 2 sugar gliders. It used to piss him off that they preferred me to him. Anytime they were awake and given run of the apartment, they always leaped onto me for snuggles and pets. I dated him longer than I should have simply because I didn't want to leave the sugar gliders. :laugh:

LOL miss K thats kinda hilarious. They are awfully cute aren't they. I'd have loved to take that one on, but I couldn't provide for its needs.

Have had plenty birds as well, the rook/raven (not sure which) I rescued after it had been shot. Some fucking farmer had shot it out of its nest, so I removed the shot and did what I could for it.  Ended up staying awake day and night whilst I should have been in school, and cutting class to go back to it and make sure it was hydrated, feeding it drops of water off the tip of my finger.

A funny as hell moment happened to me a while back involving birds too. Was on my way to the dr, and saw a small brown thing, bird of some sort of the finch/sparrow ilk knocked out in the middle of the road.

LOL miss K thats kinda hilarious. They are awfully cute aren't they. I'd have loved to take that one on, but I couldn't provide for its needs.

Have had plenty birds as well, the rook/raven (not sure which) I rescued after it had been shot. Some fucking farmer had shot it out of its nest, so I removed the shot and did what I could for it.  Ended up staying awake day and night whilst I should have been in school, and cutting class to go back to it and make sure it was hydrated, feeding it drops of water off the tip of my finger.

A funny as hell moment happened to me a while back involving birds too. Was on my way to the dr, and saw a small brown thing, bird of some sort of the finch/sparrow ilk knocked out in the middle of the road. After diving after it making sure it didn't get hit by a car, and me likewise, tucked it up in the sleeve of the trenchcoat I was wearing. Must have flown into a window or something, because it was warm and breathing still, but evidently knocked senseless. Was planning on heading to a nearby vet after first finishing walking to the GP surgery because I had an appointment with the human vet.  Give you three guesses as to what happened next.

Post by: Lestat on June 15, 2017, 05:21:22 AM
What do you mean my dear kitteh? 'so me' ?

Wasn'ae half fucking funny as shit though. The little bird, sparrow, finch or whatever it was, a sparrow I think, woke up all of a sudden and wasted absolutely not a microsecond in darting out from the sleeve of my trench, where I'd had my arm pulled in a bit so the bird could rest in my just-cupped hand and be warmed by my body heat as it slept off its concussion and, if it hadn't been for me diving off my bike and into the road, a squishing into a long pinkish yellowy grey line of splattered bird entrails and a car tyre with a beak stuck in the treads. Not having that, so scooped up and cradled in my palm it had to be. Not that I minded of course, I'm only too happy to rescue needy wee furry, feathery, scaly critters and keep black (and brown) widow spiders as house pets :P

But this bird...it woke up really suddenly, I'd expected there to be at least a twitch of activity as it came round so I could keep it up there in my long leather trenchcoat sleeve, but no, it just bolted, coming out of my sleeve like a feathery bullet from a gun, twittering insanely. My doctor...jesus the look on his face...looked like he was about to suffer an imminent heart attack, to say nothing of the expression worn on his face when he realized that there was a tiny wee, damnable hard to catch little bird zooming around his surgery office as if it were a flying golf ball whacked with what should have been a 500 yard driver shot, only confined to a public toilet-sized little box of a room, squeaking and chirping for all it was worth.

Took both of us to catch the little feathery bugger and gently return it to the confines of my jacket, this time, gently tucked into my inside pocket, and took quite some time as well. The other waiting patients must have wondered what in hell was taking so long, for what should be a 10-minute appt give or take according to need, but that must have taken a bit short of an hour, give or take a few tens of minutes that had to be spent in rounding up one jacked up, crazed sparrow that was busy acting as if it had just been woken up with a shot of IV personal stash quality whizz and a large bowl full of espresso black coffee. For such a small bird, that just recovered from being stunned senseless it was awfully full of energy. I actually reckon we were more or less just waiting for it to tire itself out before we could catch the blighter.

Wish you had been there to see that, you'd have almost wet yourself with laughter at the sight of the look on my doc's face. Flustered doesn't even come close to describing what he was that day. And kinda pissed at first, although he did forgive me, since he knew I was doing what I not only had to do for the bird, but what comes naturally on instinct when I encounter a defenceless animal in need of a helping hand (or doctor's office to go and work out :P) He isn't stupid, so probably realizes that I would do it again too if it was ever called for)

I wonder sometimes about karma...for not a great length of time after, again going to the docs, I spotted a skip outside a house where a load of stuff was being thrown away  in what was obviously some kind of renovation. Went over to check it for copper pipe, lead sheeting etc. and spent a fair while methodically gutting the rubbish bags (was all dry,clean refuse no nasty slimy rotting food etc.) and whilst I found none, I did find a veritable treasure-trove of antique silver, and some silver/either ivory or whalebone that again, looked pretty old. The best of it being a large, heavy, solid silver jerusalem cross round necklace, in a silver circle surrounded by 4 knights' templar style crosses and inscribed on the back with hallmark, date (from about 1400-1500 AD if it isn't a modern fake, but its certainly weighty, and silver, with inscribed carvings on the back showing christ, the temple in jerusalem and what I think might be the apostles plus something else, I forget which, strung on a really nice braided rope-like linked chain, the likes of which no jeweller round here I've taken it to has ever seen before.)

Quite a bit of other, lesser silver, some gold stuff including a fake rolex (at least I think its a knockoff, I'm no expert), the silver writing-inlaid old ivory or whalebone page-turner (I'm sure you realize, miss K that I'd never support the ivory or whalebone trade in a lifetime of lifetimes. But at the same time, that, with its big, heavy silver endcap, and being quite definitely an antique piece I was certainly keeping, since for it to simply end up on landfill, rotting in a mound of fermenting, blowfly-infested slime would be bordering on the criminal.)

Plenty big heavy metal buttons, that given the nature of my other finds, I had a hunch about, and after wetting them, and sanding off a small, discrete invisible spot on a couple of them, I tested, by exposing the roughened, freshly revealed and moistened surface with hydrogen sulfide gas, upon which it took on the distinctive blackish grey patina of aged silver that has been exposed to people, which comes from the sulfur content in some amino-acids making up proteins, over time. The H2S test artificially creates the same silver sulfide and shows up silver metal for what it is, if its silver. Also a glass jar with a kinda helical looking outer surface and a really thick hinged rounded cup sort of lid t hat snaps shut over the top and is just perfect to use as a jar for storing/serving...certain powdery substances of an attention-focusing, perky nature. The silver part, the cap and its mounting and hinge are really big and chunky, the thinnest edge must be just under 4mm thick. Quite a lot of what look to be custom jewellery featuring semiprecious stones too that again looks to be of a kind of item not seen these days, such as a little star-shaped, semiprecious gem-inlaid dark metal hollow necklace with a small blunt ended thin metal rod attached by a short piece of chain, a perfume or some sort of anointing substance dispenser of some kind as far as I can tell, plus a silver or possibly some other valuable metal, quite lightweight, so might not be precious metal, but something like titanium, tantalum or niobium. Not sure what thats made of. Got quite a hall, plus a couple more necklace chains, without anything attached to then. I really couldn't believe my eyes until the chemistry set got pulled out and some testing done on things, that of all the places, I'd find that sort of  thing in a skip.

They say that a colonoscopy is horrible but the worst part of getting that procedure done is the day before. Basically, the doctor has to have everything "FUCKING SHINY" before he inserts five feet of tubing into your anus. After the prep for this procedure the actual colonoscopy is a cinch.

So, you drink this concoction from the doctor the day before that  "cleans"  your intestinal tract from today's breakfast to Hell's Last Supper!  That means that after your first five or so AirBlast poops of the day, you give up on trying to wear clothes and just wrap a towel around you. Once you are done with the next water enriched Air Blast poop episode, knowing there are still many, many more to come you give up on trying to accomplish any progress with toilet paper and just step straight into the shower.

Another problem rears its head before you are satisfactorily SHINY inside. Your asshole becomes very chapped and somewhat painful from all the "unwanted attention" as it is continually  pressed into Special Op service well above its paygrade.

I found a great, although temporary solution. Use a tube of chapstick around the "affected area" between waterblast episodes.  Cool, soothing, helps ward off further damage or damnation from this NEVER ENDING process of becoming SHINY enough for the doctor to send a camera five feet up your butt.

Now this remedy works great and I can recommend it fully, but I have to add this warning. Do NOT make the mistake I made.

Make damn sure that you THROW THAT TUBE OF CHAPSTICK AWAY, FOR GOD SAKE!!!!!

I think I'd have to start building an EMP gun if my neighbors were to blare out bagpipe music on a radio. Bagpipes sound like a skinless cat with a penny whistle up its ass being covered in salt and strangled with its own tail. Only not a fraction as melodic.

Or somebody farting in reverse through an arse so tightly clenched you could use it as a pencil sharpener before blowing it with an asthmatic wheeze out of their nose and belching at the same time whilst breathing helium.

Its probably because the radio does its best to run away and hide from them QV :P

Just put an out of tune clarinet up a cat's backside and have an unwashed, sweaty hobo on a boiling hot day squeeze it beneath his cheap whisky-sodden, puke-saturated armpit. You'll end up with a different instrument, but more or less the same end result. Well, that and a greatly displeased, miserable cat that stinks like a pub toilet in a particularly nasty dive bar. It may be possible to expand the process to a greater degree of accuracy in replicating the overall sensory input by sucking on a used urinal cake liberated from the same habitat.

Have you planned lots of empty days in your calendar? Think you need a few weeks like that in three weeks.  A few weeks with no more tasks than feeding and watering yourself and your loved ones. And lots of sleeping. Oh, and hanging some hammocks in the new garden, of course.
The rest of the time free to feel how tired you really are.

I'm lucky you like me anyway QV, you are one of my favourite people on here, and gave life to somebody I'm kinda crazy over, who if it were not for you, would never have drawn breath. I luv ya to bits anyway, but the latter alone would be reason enough for me to like you.

The fact you are responsible for the existence of the PR is quite enough for a significant amount of credit towards being on my good books.

You come anywhere near me with a set of bagpipes and a tube of KY jelly and you are going to get a flute stuck up your arse, a CPAP machine in your mouth and a couple of tin whistles connected to the rear end of a couple of skinless cats up the nose, be fed a diet consisting primarily of refried beans and truck-stop vendor-van mexican food and be PLAYED as a set of bagpipes, missy. Don't even think about it. Not unless you want to spend the rest of your life being inflated, squeezed and used as the means to scare off burglars after being mounted to the wall of my house. I'd give you a chair, and tie you to the wall, I like you far too much to use nails, I don't want you crucified of course, but that ain't gonna save you from ending up as a set of human bagpipes, the resultant vile, toneless discordant abomination being used as a combination of both burglar alarm and for anybody desparate enough to continue an attempt at home invasion, a means to torture the bastard ex post smack around the head with a big slab of lead after he wakes up, tied up in the lab, so the soundproofing keeps the mixture of miserable screaming and QV-pipe noise down to a level which won't overly disturb the neighbors, after I first remove all my glassware and relocate it to the room with the nasty chemical fridge so as to avoid having my prized glass possessions shattered by the nasty resultant noise.

Bagpipes aren't music, they are a primitive attempt at building a sonic weapon. if you were playing that horror round me, I'd have little alternative but to do my best to drown it out with some nice doom or industrial metal music:P

*pokes QV playfully and runs off sticking his tongue out*


Miss K-whatever is coming, I know you will get through it, like the strong, beautiful, driven and iron-willed, wonderful lady you are. You get stressed out and need someone to talk to, shoot me a PM. This offer is and always will be open to you whenever/if ever you so desire. I am always here for you, barring death or physical incapacitation or total loss of internet connectivity. If you want I'll give you my phone number and/or address via PM. Just ask.

*gives miss K a large store of big warm loving squeezes in advance of whatever stress is to come. Always more where they came from too :)*

You'll get through whatever it is. You are strong. Very strong, a lioness in purr-ty bipedal form who has given breath to strong, resilient monkeykids who obviously take after their mom. If arses need kicking, all you need worry about is not to get your knees lodged stuck within the associated duodenum/s. Or have your shoes sucked off and left in the mouth of the offender, like when stepping in deep mud with boots on.

Since bagpipes are higher pitched than industrial or doom music, I think I'd win the sound wave wars.

Not always.

Take these two for example (btw both bands are called 'draconian' but the second one is from one of the nordic countries, the first from colombia, two entirely different bands despite the remarkable similarities in many respects)

I always think of this poem when people mention bagpipes. As Macneice says in  his intoduction, the cadences  are meant to mimic the sound of bagpipes . It's weird to hear it read in a very English accent though. So I've copied the words below, soyou can read it if you prefer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n72XebBaMeI

Bagpipe Music
by
Louis MacNeice

It's no go the merry-go-round, it's no go the rickshaw,
All we want is a limousine and a ticket for the peepshow.
Their knickers are made of crêpe-de-chine, their shoes are made of python,
Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with heads of bison.

John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa,
Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker,
Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whiskey,
Kept its bones for dumb-bells to use when he was fifty.

It's no go the Yogi-Man, it's no go Blavatsky,
All we want is a bank balance and a bit of skirt in a taxi.

Annie MacDougall went to milk, caught her foot in the heather,
Woke to hear a dance record playing of Old Vienna.
It's no go your maidenheads, it's no go your culture,
All we want is a Dunlop tyre and the devil mend the puncture.

The Laird o' Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober,
Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over.
Mrs. Carmichael had her fifth, looked at the job with repulsion,
Said to the midwife, "Take it away; I'm through with over-production."

It's no go the gossip column, it's no go the Ceilidh,
All we want is a mother's help and a sugar-stick for the baby.

Willie Murray cut his thumb, couldn't count the damage,
Took the hide of an Ayrshire cow and used it for a bandage.
His brother caught three hundred cran when the seas were lavish,
Threw the bleeders back in the sea and went upon the parish.

It's no go the Herring Board, it's no go the Bible,
All we want is a packet of fags when our hands are idle.

It's no go the picture palace, it's no go the stadium,
It's no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums.
It's no go the Government grants, it's no go the elections,
Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.

It's no go my honey love, it's no go my poppet;
Work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit.
The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall for ever,
But if you break the bloody glass you won't hold up the weather.

(1907)

Alive. And exhausted but happy that it all went pretty OK.

Have you planned lots of empty days in your calendar? Think you need a few weeks like that in three weeks.  A few weeks with no more tasks than feeding and watering yourself and your loved ones. And lots of sleeping. Oh, and hanging some hammocks in the new garden, of course.
The rest of the time free to feel how tired you really are.
No, I have none. There's too much to be done and only me to do it and no one to delegate it to. So I'm just trying to get through the days as best as I can. After the move, I know I'll crash and will have to figure out how to manage it all then. There's far more to do on a rural property than a suburban one but the energy of the place is far healthier and makes me happier.

I meant empty weeks after the moving. You are living on energy borrowed from your future. It's about time to plan collapsing and recuperation properly. Not a hot bath and a nice movie with a dog on your lap, but weeks (once you have moved) with nothing but planned times to eat, drink and relax.

You need to take that time.

You're right, I do. I suppose hosting a 70th birthday for the boyfriend's Dad two weeks after I move in wasn't a wise idea in planning? :laugh:

Every time I go there, I am so, so happy. I'm trying to make regular check ins between now and move in day because it seems to centre me. When I come back to the house I'm currently in, it's hard to function. I think it will get worse before it gets better but I'm doing the best that I can. I'm going to have to be ruthless about my self care on the other end though. You're right about that.

Most especially if every warrior was confined to the breath they can blow through any weapon. Horns and wind driven instruments large enough to make a substantial noise in the lower registers are larger and heavier than carrying four or five swords and several shields.

I actually enjoy bagpipes. Just enough of that influence left in my blood, I suppose.

I felt older the moment I did not pick up a kid from kindergarten. I felt older when the youngest went to secondary school. And one day, all of a sudden I realised I was not sitting at the table with two girl but with two  young women. How the hell did that happen??

And my skin, changing to the structure of my mother's skin, and now getting closer to how my grandmothers skin was when I was a really tiny girl.

In music it's weird. Kids playing stuff from my youth. I'm not old at all.  :lol1:

I said the above line about not wanting to move until I die, to my new neighbour (he's 80) and he said I need to meet the woman down the street. Her family wants her to sell her property as she's 93 but she's perfectly capable of getting by on her own and people in the neighbourhood help her out (she's blind now). She said the next move she'll make is next door. She lives next to the cemetery. I like her already. :laugh:

Thinking about what to get when I'll visit the butcher's this afternoon.

Yeah, the new(-ish) mall has a new butcher shop AND it's also open on Sundays. Pretty brilliant, imo.

Nursing home? bugger that. They'll find me waiting for a hole in the dirt first. Like fuck to I want to rot in the grim reaper's piss-smelling, psychot-inhabited waiting room. If I'm going out, might as well do it on my feet, not on my knees. The thought gives me the creeps more than the likes of getting meatpasted by a car. At least, as long as the driver is drunk enough to finish me off the first time.

Thinking I should go make dinner.

I still have frozen leftovers and partial meals that Wolf cooked, that I rescued from our apartment freezer and moved to the shared house. It feels like he's still taking care of me.

So where are you living now? Are you settled in the place you had planned to be or do you have another move?

This is a temporary place. While he was still in hospital, I delayed our move: arranged for our stuff and car to still be transported, and put in storage, but delayed my start date and the plane tickets. We still had to give up the apartment on the same date, so I rented a room through homestay.com.

I wish we were settled. I'm still here for a couple more weeks, until after the memorial service, then I can fly out west and work on getting really settled.

Being without our own things in a place not ours is hard. Especially with everything else you have going on.

The packing and supervising the movers was especially hard, because at that point I didn't know if he would make it or not. If he did, I knew I'd be hearing for months on end about every little thing that went wrong, everything he thought wasn't packed well, every missing thing would be assumed stolen. I'd have to worry about insurance reports and getting into a fight with the moving company. This is what happened the last two moves. His life would become miserable and by extension so would mine.

If he didn't make it, none of it would matter. I couldn't give two fucks about material items in comparison with everything else that's been going on.

But I've still got two people's worth of luggage here, because I had to pack him enough that he would potentially be alright for a month while our other stuff was in storage and the house was being worked on. Plus two boxes of cleaning supplies and miscellaneous small containers I rescued from the fridge and cleaned out (all of which he would recognize individually and mourn individually if they went missing, plus all the others I'm sure I missed and tossed because I was cleaning fridge and freezer in a hurry). Plus bucketloads of paperwork for immigration, health records, house purchase stuff and the remnants of our legal fight with the apartment landlord. All of which has weight and now I'll only be flying with one person's allotment of luggage.

I'll have to toss or donate the rest, including two perfectly good suitcases, and I don't know if his family will be pissed, like are his clothes something they would want to keep as a memory of him. I can leave some of the cleaning supplies at the shared house where I'm sure they'll go to good use, but the rest of it will have to go.

Then there's a houseplant, well three incarnations of said houseplant in separate pots plus two cuttings, that I'm going to have to figure out how to get it to best survive the plane trip as possible, maybe dumping the soil and wrapping the roots in wet paper towel and repotting it at soon as I get there, because this one was extremely important to him and it's important to me too as part of a memorial and I can't let it die. It couldn't go with the movers because it wouldn't survive a month in a dark warehouse with no water.

It's an organizational nightmare and I'm plagued with remembering how miserable he's been in the past when this stuff falls apart, and I want to imagine him telling me it's okay, but I know it's probably not, because he was always hiding from me how upset he was despite all the complaints I heard, and developed the idea that I couldn't tolerate it. So I can't do wishful thinking.

Did he have a favourite thrift or charity store? May be easier to donate stuff there knowing he liked that place.

Cuttings seem to survive pretty well with wet tissue paper around the roots and then packed in a bubble wrap envelope. (know someone who sends them in bubble wrap envelopes via mail, could ask her if she has specific instructions, if you like.)

Everyone's been telling me that. Where are your local friends? Why aren't your family here?


I'm fricking autistic, that's what.  :P


Hyke's suggestions are good ones though. His favourite thrift stores are in the USA, but there's one here that he would go to. I think it's a few metro stops away. I could load up one of the suitcases with things and take it there to leave it. I could take the other one to NY and maybe leave it with his family.

It feels so intimate and final going through his toiletries and crap. I think I'm hesitating on my own behalf too.

Can you pack the stuff that is too intimate and final to sort right now and send it to your new home?
There is more than enough on your plate already. The intimate day to day stuff can trigger so many emotions. It's the every day part of Wolfie you take leave from. And it is worth to be felt, but it may be too soon and taking too much energy to do that this week.
You need to take good care of yourself.

I think you'll generally find that the people here apprceiate blunt truths! Even when it's not a kind truth. Bluntness  makes the kind truths believable, because then we know you're not sugar-coating your words :)

This.

I have done this with my friend whose brother recently died of an aneurysm at age 42. I said a few things about her behaviour in the last few years toward him.

I sometimes try to help people, but it's frustrating having to hold back, because so many people view it as criticism, aspies included. I welcome that kind of thing, but if anyone ever advises me, it's usual purpose behind it is to "get back" at me, and it's annoying because it's going to be biased and the whole conversation is a waste of time.

It's hard, you'll get there, but you need to do it at your own pace. Like hyke mentioned, if there is a way to deal with some things later...take that route.

Some things are better if you can sweep them in a box and deal with them later. Fuck the extra moving cost, sanity is priceless in the eye of a storm.

Be kind to yourself.
You were wolfie's greatest treasure, remember that.

The plants, the things, what you keep...what you give away. Even if it doesn't survive the move...or gets lost somewhere along the way, knocked off the shelf by a kid running through the house, or just an evil cat clueless to the high cost of sentimental value.

It hurts, grieve, but don't let it consume you...you hold the memories, they will always be there...that's the greatest gift someone leaves you when they pass. Things are only things without them, and they would want only what was best for you.

Team of professionals (different fields of 'science') are now in progress of diagnosing my youngest niece Flora, I heard today. Well, I knew earlier she was being 'looked at' but this afternoon I spoke with my youngest sister and she told me that there are somewhat stronger thoughts Flora is on the auti-spectrum as well. ADD and high sensitivity are being mentioned too. Yeeh, those three dx-es fit me also.. albeit I'm just 'lutra*' now of course.. but those suited me totally in my kiddo days.

Thinking about my role in this and what are the better advices to be given here.

I'm thinking about it, too,  Lutra. Not very effectively, admittedly , seeing as I'm feeling rather washed out, ATM. But I guess that question will keep awhile? And a few dozen half-brains are allegedly better than one.

I think that question should have it's own thread. Then we can let it percolate awhile without fear of it getting lost in  the middle of this gigantic thread.

I'm sure there's a family strain on my mother's side.  Her uncle (born 1899 - 1900) was definitely autistic.  He stopped talking at age 2 and didn't say a word until he was 5 or 6.  Loner, fascinated with gold and inventing things, voracious reader, would talk your ears off about things that interested him.

Mom and Grandmother had strong aversions to feeling feelings.  Not sure how they were affected by my Grandfather's murder when Mom was 3 or if this was an autistic trait.

PMSElle and I have also both touched on the fact that people with strong trauma profiles also share traits with those on the spectrum as well. So it could be one or the other or a combo of both. But childhood traumas can really present as ASD traits in adults.
This is also true of brain trauma.
Agreed.

Current thought: I will be so relieved when this move is done.

We are!!! Hugely relieved. We have to go back to the other place for one more moving day but only 5% of it is left so it won't be too bad. But it's big enough stuff to warrant renting another U-Haul (the bbq and patio set didn't make it on to the last one) and there are odds and ends left to be packed and dealt with. But the bulk of it is here.

Wondering if I should go and knock up a refill for the chlorine gas generator I have rigged up outside in the garden and start gassing the remaining iodine in the column its connected to, now I know I've unstuck the receiver flask that the resulting iodine monochloride is  distilled over to. Or if its too late. Don't want to do that in the dark, I need to see what I'm doing, since it is a somewhat hazardous procedure, chlorine gas isn't too healthy to breathe, iodine monochloride vapor is worse by a long shot, although it is somewhat unstable to air, IIRC breaking down to Cl2 and I2 vapor somewhat readily. Still, buggered if I'm doing it in the dark and risking poisoning myself.

Any chance it's an "acquired" limp, because it gives her attention?
There are stories of intelligent dogs with horrible limping when seen by their humans, but playing and running without any problem when there was no human around.

Kind of. It started with a legitimate injury about 5 weeks ago. Healed, got reinjured (hard to keep a dog her size down when she suddenly wants to play and has a willing accomplice who loves to wrestle) and then healed again. It's been off and on but it's in her shoulder and I know the exact spot to manipulate to make her whole leg weak. It just folds over at her ankle joint. So it's legit BUT I suspect it will be less severe once monkeygirl comes home. She did go for a limpy run a little bit ago in the yard which I was thrilled to see although I put her back on White Willow Bark which would help with the pain and the inflammation.

Mmmm, can that be used as one?

Oh, I do something similar with my oldest niece/others as well.. like she's talking about, dunno.. food or suttin' and mentions e.g. cabbage and I then say: 'no, you, you're a cabbage yourself!'.

''I don't know what you're talking about,'' See, thats where your going wrong. Any proper NORMAL would just have pulled what I meant out of my head and got it, possibly without my having to say a word :P

And it isn't by DESIGN as such that my kitchen is crammed with cupboards full of chemicals and concoctions, its just that the space in my lab can't hold everything. I've got a fridge (although my old man uses the top shelf for his fishing baits, I've got the rest for my solvents and the like), the kitchen is more of an overflow kind of thing. And a few benign things in the food fridge, I don't of course keep nasty things in there, but occasionally things are left to crystallize or/and freeze-precipitate in the fridge or freezer stuck on fr. ex a bag of frozen peas or in amongst bags filled with water and tied up (mostly so I can float those in my coolant tanks for the pond pumps that supply my condensers  and lift them out again whole, wash them off and refreeze them)

And some of my chemistry is...well...some of it can be filed under 'mentionable' enough alright, there is only a certain proportion of it that can't, at least not without connecting to a site through TOR and SSL/HTTPS. It isn't like I bother anybody, at least not by doing anything that is my actual fault. I can't help the buggers that just see a piece of glassware and think 'terrorist', like fundie xtians seeing the devil in everything that doesn't go perfectly for them, and imaginary angels when it does go as they want. Nothing I can do about the fruitloops.

I wanted something that meant mad chemist, but calling you a mad scientist is kind of... banal. Low-hanging fruit. I wanted something that would evoke some mediaeval experimenter surrounded by esoteric beakers and vials, with shelves full of odd embalmed things and exotic ingredients.

Well doesn't the term 'warlock' come from 'waer loga', having the connotations of a renegade? I seem to remember something like that, old english perhaps, it sounds like old english or celtic-influenced roots in the language anyhow. Or possibly gaelic? not sure, although old english feels closest to the mark.

And that does rather, so to speak, conjure up, the feeling in my lab. And its owner. Perhaps just a wee bit on the naughty side, but all the same, homely and friendly (of course many of the chemicals are not particularly friendly if misapplied or mistreated). But there is much more than wizardry to hobby chemistry (although plenty of us sure have come up with some real stunning magic in terms of applications of scientific principles to our projects, you might like (this isn't me) on youtube,the videos of 'nurdrage' and 'nile red' in particular. Nurdrage is bloody brilliant. Before his discovery  of the use of 1,4-dioxane, conveniently made by distilling ethylene glycol antifreeze with concentrated sulfuric acid as a dehydration catalyst, to cyclize together two moles of the diol (glycol is the old but still widely used term for a diol, an alcohol having two -OH groups) into a ring structure with two oxygen atoms, one at each point connected to two carbons, which themselves form two-carbon bridges between the oxygens, for a 4-carbon ring bridged with 2 oxygen atoms, a cyclic ether of a high boiling point, for an ether at least of 101 'C (compare with dimethyl  ether, the simplest, which is a cryogenic liquefied gas stored under pressure and evaporates at ambient temperature and pressure, boiling off rapidly, like butane does, diethyl ether the most common perhaps of the etherial solvents, boiling point somewhere in the 30s ('C) range, and the similarly (although somewhat higher) boiling THF (tetrahydrofuran) another cyclic ether solvent that unlike diethyl ether is miscible with water, but when perfectly dried, makes the perfect solvent for many reactions involving very, very strong bases that simply could not exist in an aqueous environment, and thus ideal for sensitive organometallic reactions like Grignard reactions. Got 2.5 liters of the stuff in my fridge atm:) Need to restock on diethyl and diisopropyl ether though, or buy some cheap alcohol (not drinking grade) and distill my own, using the same sulfuric acid dehydration technique to condense two molecules of ethanol with loss of H2O and forming an oxygen bridge between them, by dripping in fairly dry ethanol into 95-98% conc. sulfuric acid at a temperature of about 115 'C to 120 'C or so, not letting it go above 150 or else the result is further dehydration and elimination to the alkene, in this case ethylene (alkenes are hydrocarbons with one or more points of unsaturation (double bonds) or formation of the highly toxic diethyl sulfate, a powerful alkylating agent, and accordingly both mutagenic and very poisonous. Although very useful too) and distilling off the ether as it forms (there are other routes but this way allows for forgoing similarly toxic alkylating agents like methyl iodide, which are expensive to buy and expensive to make, what with the atomic weight of iodine being as high as it is, and again carcinogenic, mutagenic and poisonous, and it allows you to do it using concentrated sulfuric acid of dyed, drain-cleaner grade and still get clean ether from it, or dyed, bitrex-tainted antifreeze and still get dioxane)

And nurdrage came up with this brilliant way of doing something like a thermite reaction, using caustic alkali hydroxides, like sodium hydroxide/caustic soda (NaOH) with magnesium, to form a reactive, but cement-like slag aggregate, grinding it up in a blender then boiling it under dioxane, liberating the sodium metal, which just starts coalescing together in big rounded globules, bringing cheap, readily available sodium to the masses, where before many many hobby chemists couldn't or had difficulty buying it from chemical companies, and had to resort to electrolysis of molten caustic baths at very carefully controlled temperatures, or molten salt baths giving off lots of chlorine gas too which has to be kept away from the forming sodium (or it gets very violent very quickly, especially at the 800-odd degrees that it has to to keep salt molten, with lots of electrical resistance wire to heat it, and circuit design, building the cells to do it in and obtaining high temperature insulation that won't break down, plus vessels to perform the electrolysis in that will tolerate the likes of molten caustic soda, or not far off a thousand degrees of heat, electric currents and capturing the molten sodium (it is reactive enough when at room temperature but handlable. At 300 degrees, it'll explode half a second or so after contacting air and fly across the room in a jet of molten metal trailling behind and flames with a loud CRACK! noise and shower of sparks (for a blob about a third the size of a pea) whilst the hot, and violently oxidizing, reactive chlorine gas also has to have a use found for it, or else be neutralized at least before disposal if you can't find something to do with it (such as pump it through very hot but not quite boiling aqueous caustic soda or potassium hydroxide solution, forming the useful oxidizers sodium and potassium chlorate, respectively, or after cooling the Cl2 stream down first, into COLD hydroxide solution to give hypochlorites (sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl being what is commonly used in household bleaches, the kind poured down the bog that has that nasty sickly sweet stench to it) [for some reason I particularly loathe the smell of hypochlorite, its revolting, turns my stomach)

Nurdrage's method avoids the chlorine (unless you build a cell instead and do it with finicky electrolytic methods, although its always great fun to see people's DIY-ed electrolysis cells for various processes take shape and get built, since each is the pet of the chemist who built it, and its always entirely personal, unique, I kinda consider them a work of art as well as science, what with everything from hacked PC power supplies to flower-pots and steel pipes, all manner of coils and tubes and wires and circuitry. Its one of the things I've always thought shows off the individual's style in one of the best ways, the way it inherently puts the individual's own stamp on the process)

The nurdrage process obviates all the difficulties with electrolytic routes though and allows the work to be done in hours, rather than spending weeks or more likely months designing, buying parts for, building, begging, hacking parts for a cell. And even a 10-year old with the process written down on paper could do it, although of course working with dioxane they best pay attention to peroxidation tendency (storing over some sodium destroys them as they are formed though and keeps the ethers dry too) and to wearing a gas mask, since dioxane is carcinogenic somewhat. But still, even an NT kid could do it at that age.

I would have conversation with your son about it first given his age, need for privacy etc and see how he feels about it.

How things work out.

About 5 or so years ago The PR was absolutely ADAMANT that she did NOT want to go to Magnolia Community Services.  She wouldn't even get out the car to visit the gift shop (awesome place that sells pricey client made products).  My BF's daughter started there about 3 years ago.  We've gone to 2 talent(?) shows there.  I had put The PR on the client list a while back.  Well, as some of you know she started there in late July.

She said to me today, "Mom, I have something sad to tell you.  I want to go live at Magnolia."

I almost jumped for joy.  It will be a while because she needs to move up on the Social Services lists, there has to be an opening, etc.  BUT my girl is putting out feelers that she doesn't want to live with me forever.   :celebrate:  I'm holding my breath, because she hasn't even been there a month, but it's a start.

How amazing would that be! One massive worry you can let go of if it all comes together. Very happy for you and for the PR as well because it would be so good for her. I'm still working in bits and pieces on getting the oldest used to the idea of living away from home. He'll need support as well but most likely (hopefully?) an apartment with outside help that comes in and helps out with various day to day tasks. But my biggest worry is him being in an apartment building that isn't safe and he's easy to take advantage of.

Thanks, Phoenix. At times I just want to move out myself and not live with me, but there's almost no chance of that happening.   :LOL:

Are their suitable accomodations near your new location?  I know of a few parents who have their children living "at home" in a converted garage/mother-in-law apartment.  Not ideal, but it is an option.

I could definitely do that here but I decided not to because when I pass, it would be harder on him since I would be so involved in his day to day life and he would lose the house as he wouldn't be able to maintain the property. I figure if he's already out on his own, he would lose less when I die. Morbid, but it's a harsh reality right?

eta: I should say, that being said...I won't accept any accommodations for him that are unsafe or too far from me. He can't be in another city. I need to find something for him here or at the very least if it's a great location, easy to get back to this city via public transportation. There's places one city over but it's in a really rundown part of town and he wouldn't feel safe there. So he knows he can live here until we find something that will truly work for him.

Understand completely.  That's why I breathed a cautious sigh of relief when The PR said that.  It's going to be a while before it can happen and she's just started at Magnolia.  Lots can happen between now and then.  The "pressing" issue is who to ask to be her spokesperson after I'm gone.  My sister is hand-to-mouth and lives about 400 miles away.  PA's sister lives in Florida.  There's PA's niece about 80 miles away, but that's an awful lot to ask of a niece.  But PA's sister and niece are The PR's god parents, so maybe it will work out.  Yeah, I know god parents don't have any legal responsibility, but they may step up.

That is a valid interpretation too. :P

I like the US, love visiting, and I have several very good friends over there, but it's just all so wildly different in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. I'd imagine Americans would feel the same way here.

Maybe Disney liked it (just assuming the title is right) because at least as Pixar shorts are concerned, they tend to be little stories with some moral in them. It's so-so to me, I don't think him being what he was justified his shitty behaviour to that dog at all, and the twist still doesn't excuse him. I mean he kicked it, I want to kick the little bastard.

The twist does not excuse him. But the story does show a pretty good portrait of an obnoxious depressed teenager.
And he lets himself get redeemed by the doggy. Happy ending. The story is quite sappy. Only a short time to tell the story, so the creator let's the boy kick the dog. Going for a more dramatic happy ending effect, by creating a brutal start. Bit of a cheep trick, of the story maker, but it works.

Fun fact I heard from someone working with cats needing a new home. The ones with a leg missing are overall really easy to find a new home for.

The title's correct (http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/689559/The-Present-dream-job-Disney-Jacob-Frey), that was Jacob Frey and he did indeed go on to work for Disney.

I'm sure he got the job cause the animation and storytelling are really damn good for a student, not cause the character was a lovable Disney prince. It makes people react, whether they love the kid or hate him, and that's a sign of success.

Woodchips are a decent idea for low-maintainance gardening. Depending on the wood, you can use them to grow various mushroom species.

I once (by accident) even got MORELS growing, at the old house, after my mother, before she died recently, ordered a load of woodchip mulch to be put down over their section of the garden, and later, up sprang a truly vast crop (and several subsequent crops too:)) of Morchella elata, one of the black morels. These are some of the very best wild mushrooms that can be found to eat anywhere in the world, and you'd pay top whack for even a few dried morels in a little plastic packet. They have a lovely meaty, smoky flavour. They MUST be cooked or they can be to a degree, toxic. But once cooked are perfectly edible and absolutely deeeeee---licious. They fruited for weeks, crop after crop after crop after crop and even started invading the surrounding area of the estate, sprouting out of the wood of people's fences, dead branches and the like. So for weeks I went out walking round the estate on 'morel patrol', searching by garden fences, in the woods etc. and harvesting everything i could find, if it was growing from the external side of somebody's garden fence, on the outside, then I considered them fair game. Better I grab 'em than they go and get left simply to rot.

After the effort to clean them out (the are hollow and the inside is a perfect home for slugs and the like), for the next..well I don't know how long, but a long time, I was making morel soups, morels pan-fried in butter, morels just impaled on a fork and roasted over the flames of the gas stove after being seasoned (sometimes, sometimes I just ate them as they were without any condiments, although a little black pepper and soy or worcestershire sauce or both, maybe a drop or ten of tabasco habanero sauce is just lurvely. As are morels stuffed with whatever you can do with meat, be it minced beef, roast beef, stewed steak, fried steak, roasted steak, whatever your imagination can conjure that involves spices and primo-quality beef fillet or rump steak, or best quality lamb, once marinated/spiced or whatever to one's personal tastes, and used to stuff the hollow cavity within the morels  (sliced in half first, to enable cleaning out the woodchip bits, the muck and debris, plus the inevitable slug or two and other little insects, small snails etc. etc.) they are the basis of a dinner to commit murder for. They are, along with parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera), giant puffball, sulfur polypore (Laetiporus sulfureus, aka the sulfur shelf, a bracket fungus, which unlike most brackets which are woody and inedible, the sulfur shelf is tender especially when young, juicy and delicious. Also called 'the chicken of the woods') Slippery jack and the larch bolete (Suillus luteus and a related Suillus species, I forget the second half of the binomial for the larch bolete, but its similar to the slippery jack, although more gracile in build, and smaller, whilst slippery jacks grow to the sort of size where one mushroom is best picked by simply grasping the stem in a fist and yanking it from the ground. I've seen those about 10 inches across at times, and the delicious Camaryllophyllus pratensis, the meadow waxcap, and Hygrophorus punicea, and another bright red species, the scarlet waxcap and the scarlet hood, my absolute top favourites of any mushrooms to be found, that I have ever eaten in my life. (and considering I'm 31 now, and I've been hunting wild mushrooms since about age 4, I have sampled rather a wide selection of different wild fungi. And those morels, they are definitely in my top 5 of all mushrooms ever tasted, quite probably in my top 3.

If I had to pick just five, it'd be, in no specific order, morels, giant puffballs, the sulfur polypore, Lactarius deliciosus, the saffron milk-cap, so named for its saffron orange color, its delicious taste and the fact that like the others of the milk-cap family which when the flesh is wounded, bleed a milky liquid. They are absolutely top notch nosh, and I'm going to go hunting for those in delamere forest (if anyone else goes and finds some, please do tell me, and please leave me at least a few, its a big forest, and there are more than enough when they fruit for them to be shared), so good that they have been most highly esteemed since roman times, and indeed are thought to be the first fungus ever to be depicted in art, as a roman mosaiic.

Found bagfulls the other year, absolutely loads of the buggers. They are not common but not extremely rare or threatened, and DEFINITELY worth eating. There is one mushroom with which its easily confused, Lactarius deterrimus, which tends to go more green with age than does L.deliciosus, and is slightly smaller as a rule, but confusion does not present a danger to the person eating L.deterrimus in place of the saffron milky, they look very, very similar but the only downside to L.deterrimus is it doesn't have quite the scrumptiousness of the saffron milkcap. Perfectly edible and worth bagging, or even impaling them on a bit of wood, whittled clean with a penknife and roasting them right then and there on the spot. like a mushroom kebab/satay stick. Good enough for sure just not AS good as the wonderfully delicious L.deliciousus, and no harm will come to the mushroom hunter who does mistake the two and eat L.deterrimus, they just aren't so satisfying and scrummy as what they are thought to be. Good, but there is better to be had.

 and since I can't quite decide, either one of the three favourite of the waxcaps (meadow waxcap, scarlet hood, and the crimson waxcap), the hedgehog mushroom (a peculiar little fella, that instead of having the typical gills, or pores underneath the cap it has little spines (not sharp or capable of hurting a person) that disperse the spores), and are real good eating, or the slippery jack, fried in garlic butter and splattered in mixed lemon and lime juice.


Also, if you put down alder wood chips QV, you could get some Psilocybe cyanescens or P.azurescens spawn online (or if its spores you have to get, I'd be happy to do the culture work for you, I've already the agar, the petri dishes, and can prepare spawn ready to use starting from spores, and since they are a living organism, that grows, I'd just gain a sample of the mycelium myself and culture and subculture it, so I'd have some too, without the slightest loss to you and the PR, and both you and her royal cuteness could then enjoy, with either species, one of the most potent kinds of psilocybin mushrooms around. P.azurescens and P.cyanescens are both closely related, P.azurescens is the most potent of the two, but whilst the latter doesn't grow natively here, cyans do, aka wavycaps, and they are so potent that I've ended up, after harvesting a wild-found batch and picking pounds of the things along with my psychobitch former housemate, we both set to cleaning them, and whilst neither of us had eaten so much as a single mushroom, they were a little damp and needed drying, as well as sporeprinting to give me more to work with the year or two after, and root out anything that wasn't P.cyanescens by spore color and appearance under the microscope, after about 20 minutes, I'd guess, roughly, we both noticed that each other's eyes were dilated massively, and then that we were both spontaneously breaking out into bouts of laughter, and that that the walls were beginning to wave and weave and wiggle up, down side to side and all around in directions that probably shouldn't exist in a 4-D world, the kind of weird twists and shapes that would puzzle Cthulhu himself.

The spores for these are available online easily enough and from one print, I could easily grow you many many lots of spawn, effectively infinite (they are a cold-loving species to fruit them, so some DIY climate control is called for, or I could do it over here and send em over for you if you wanted, if you were to get the alder chips, I wouldn't mind paying for the spawn. So you, me and the PR could all have a big jar of some REALLY strong trippy shrooms:)

(seriously, with the less potent of the two, Cyanescens, one gram is enough to feel it properly, although not TOO intensely, two grams will hit big time, and 4-5g you won't even know who, or even WHAT you are.

That thing..I swear, somebody must have been slipping little bits of rusty blunted razortape wire with lots of the blades bent at the corners each in the direction opposing the one oriented with the bend towards the other axis into my food while I dont notice and somehow I must have swallowed them for months before passing that brute of a shite. That thing was a knife-edged monster embedded with razoredged flint shards, that felt like it was the size and solidity of a football full of cement at the same time it was suffered to be beshitten. Even before laying that theresa may egg-stage it hurt IN there. Fucking relief to get that horror shite out of my intestines. Although it felt like giving breech birth to a fucking adult porcupine that was having a seizure whilst its spines had been dipped in concentrated caustic potash lye. Being rid of it was such a relief lol. That was one EVIL turd. Makes me think of miskitty's shiteating faggot bitch ass bastard mother-fuck of an ex. Only far more pleasant than he:P

Thinking I might be using the karma buttons a bit more. Have neglected them for months.

* Ponders, "would going on a spree be fun?" *
much appreciated , hyke :)

Really!
I was wondering why my plus-rate plummetted a while back, and beginning  to get a teeny bit of a "complex" about it.   I even developed a throry that my own liberal use of the plus button was beginning to get on peoples' nerves  :LOL:

Now you mention that, I guess the effect was mostly due to you ceasing to give anybody karma, (hadn't realised that)  combined with Ozy switching to giving me occasional negs, rather than the plusses I used to get from him. It all stacks up!

Have not gone in a spree yet. But have found the button again. I sometimes do forget to use that thing for a few months. Brainfog, or something like that.

Any room for me at the 'because meat' table my dear?  Lestat is an obligate and highly carnivorous form of life. Why? because fucking well meat, thats why.  Lestat likes meat. Preferably well done. Not quite electrically conductive or crunchy on the outside but chewy and well the fuck done. Gods below he could MURDER a juicy fried slab or two of beef fillet steak, slapped into a searing hot frying pan with a trace of oil in, after first marinating in a mixture of worcestershire sauce, 'devil's brown sauce [its like HP sauce but spicy hot], dark soy sauce, a generous slosh of tabasco habanero variety pepper sauce first, before liberally dusting with his special steak spice mixture:

A little bit of garlic and onion powder, not too heavy on those, but some,
cured, fly agaric mushroom, treated to remove the poison and cured for culinary use.
Chalciporus piperatus, a parasitic mushroom that grows, like fly agaric, under the silver birch tree because it is a parasite on the mycelium of the Amanita muscaria [fly agaric, you know, the one the gnomes live in or sit on with their fishing rods, red cap with white warts, white gills, stem, basal bulb rather than volva, and when raw is poisonous, but when given a long, slow heat-cure/drying combination in an oven with the door propped open on baking foil-lined baking trays then its ready for use when crispy dry, the parasitic mushroom its associated with needs no such preparation but its most conveniently dried, so it can be powdered in a spice grinder)
Plenty pink peppercorns, pounded to pulpy fragments
Black pepper, generously added
the seeds from a few cardamom pods
Dried, mild smoked chipotle chillies
Some much more fiery, carefully used chilli peppers such as the tiny, but lethal little birds-eye peppers, nukes in disguise :)
Szechuan pepper-just a little. It isn't hot, its weird stuff, exerts a numbing, anaesthetizing effect upon the tongue and oral mucosa, taste-somewhat camphoraceous, cooling, cold.
Piper cubeba seed (Cubeb, another of the true pepper family, that black pepper belongs to) Less cooling than the szechuan pepper, no odd anaesthetizing/almost semiparalytic properties upon the sensation of the mouth, complements chilli peppers and hot spices very well. Highly camphoraceous taste, only a few (maybe 8-10 seeds are needed for a tablespoon full of spice mixture when powdered) are needed.
And IF I can get it, for it is not commercially sold, water-pepper, a relative of bistort, grows in marshy and riverine areas near the banks of the river and in areas of pasture next to and close by the rivers. Long, paleish green leaves, lanceolate in shape and about 1.25cm wide and quite thin but do not droop if picked. Shape like the blade of a spear, long thin and pointed, this, like fly agaric and the parasitic peppery boletus cannot be bought, although especially the two mushrooms are two of my favourite meat cooking spices, all three however have to be hunted down and harvested by hand though. Not rare, but I don't know any waterlogged, riverine fields where the plant grows locally and its very hard for me to get. But the mushrooms those I can get easily, and I've got several tupperware boxes of fly agaric, cured, detoxified and dried, as the young caps in prime condition)

And after powdering together, minus the bay leaf, and using a mortar and pestle to crush the heavily oily pink peppercorns and coarsely crack them, they all get sprinkled on, and the bay leaves taken out of the steak marinade, one on each side of each steak placed, using the marinade to stick on the spice powder and soaked marinaded bayleaves, and then a light brush of olive oil to retain flavour, or better still, the oil of toasted sesame seeds, brushed on thinly to retain moisture, and then the pan turned on high, heated up and the steaks slapped down, bay leaf on each side, two steaks minimum to a serving per person, and seared for a half minute or so until lovely brown on the outside with the odd patch of black just thinly showing, then turn over and sear the other side, before removing from the heat, turning the gas stove down, and putting back on for a longer, slower cook at lower temperatures so the flavour is all sealed in tightly, and the juices prevented from making a run for it, whilst the steaks slowly fry in toasted sesame oil, and braise in their own juices until light grey throughout and the juice runs clear. Without a single hint of pink. If a steak has pink flesh in it Lestat ain't happy. Grey-brown is perfect, lightly so, chewy and tender and full of delicious juices when chewed into. Oh my, oh yes. Done the Lestat way, miss K, you'd never want to eat a steak done any other way again in your life I'd wager. One bite and I'd have you hooked and coming back hungry for more. I reckon you'd love my steaks too, my recipe is, if I say so myself, a bloody good one. And if desired to taste, can be served with a slight citrus tang as a modification, by giving a light sprinkling of the grated zest of a lime, and serving with a quartet of lime wedges cut from half a lime, and the same from a lemon, seeds removed, ready to squeeze the amount of juice desired on any given bite. Maybe a tiny dash of runny honey in the marinade to offset the acidity. Just a tiny dash though, so its not sweet, but oh so meaty (thats what the fly agaric mushrooms are in there for, and they are a critical ingredient. I'd be happy to mail you some for your 'because meat' nights if you'd like, plus some of the harder to get spices like szechuan pepper and pink pepper as well as peppery bolete if I can find any this season. Already got the fly agarics though and plenty of em, dried, cured, detoxified and needing only grinding and adding to a dish to use. They aren't highly toxic raw, but would cause digestive upset and make the eater wish they had not eaten thereof. But, when cured properly they accentuate meaty, umami, savoury flavours by activating glutamate receptors on tastebuds and will turn average meat to enjoyable meat, enjoyable meat to good meat, good meat to excellent meat and excellent prime dead animal into something you'd willingly rip somebody's head off to get at, slavering and snarling in a furious  driven quest for them there steaks or roasts where you'd have drawn a blade and unsheathed those sharp kitty-claws and become a yowling, hissing, spitting ball of ravening fur and fangs.

I make a mean curry and an even better chilli con carne with a similar spice blend too (beef or lamb or both for either) and it is as gorgeous in taste as your smile and eyes are in their mere existence upon the face of this world. And its been proven by testing on folk too. My old man told me several times 'don't put those mushrooms in there, you will ruin the meal', nevertheless, in they went into my spice blend and did he guzzle it down with enthusiasm without the least negative comment to be said of the food? yes, yes he did. I've never ever witnessed a bowlfull of that chilli con carne to be started to be consumed, and to finish without the eater cleaning his or her plate to the last scrap:)

Tested it out on the neighbors too, the cute young lady and her boyfriend were having a BBQ, and I offered to bring some goodies to the table if they were willing to have me there, and they were, I did, and after I revealed the secret ingredients they  were not upset whatsoever with the meat I brought to the grill, and it was devoured eagerly by both the woman and her boyfriend. (I'm on good terms with them both, I do really have a liking for her, and indeed reckon she might have slight aspie tendencies if not more than a tad of them). She's really nice, open, kind, a lovely girl to have a good long talk with (and very, very pretty indeed, with a lovely smile, eyes, lovely long blonde hair, slim figure, quite petite, not tiny just gracile and of a good degree of apparrent physical fitness, generally a real stunner just as she is a great person inside too; if she were single I'd ask her to a home-cooked dinner or meal out of her choice in a femtosecond although as she has a BF, I have and will, unless that changes, say nothing of my feelings, and express them only by making sure I go out of my way for her to be the recipient of good fortune, good will and kindness in ways of any manner which be under my control, and by continuing to be her good friend and a loyal one, because I do like her BF as a person, decent guy, they seem to get on well and love each other, and I would not wish to take them apart from each other for my own gain at their expense, least of all hers. I just wouldn't do it. Being a supportive, kind and loyal friend to both on the other hand is perfectly find in my book. Neither of them know I have feelings for her, and neither ever will unless things change between them and she is looking for somebody else, in which case I will offer myself up on a silver platter:P

And, also needed are per steak side, for each person making a total of four whole, single bay leaves two, whole unbroken leaves are first used in the marinade as it soaks into the steak then, removed and added to the steak once its been fully prepared to be fried and used to decorate and further flavour the steaks although not themselves eaten, but added to the marinade, and then in the pan whilst frying the steaks.
Two leaves to each side of a steak, spaces equally apart roughly whilst frying so as to get as much flavour out of the marinade-soaked leaves as possible and ensure its application across as even a spatial area and as equalized in density as possible across the steaks, two on one side one at each end and the two on the other closer to the middle, spaced somewhat apart and placed, per side on opposing axes (as in plural of 'axis' not as in 'hatchet' or the double-bladed article prefixed with the word 'battle' often applied also to miserable shitbags, usually female, and itself prefixed by the word 'old' or *insert nasty turn of phrase of choice here*-old battle-) to each other, as in two either side, two top and bottom to ensure thorough and as ideally even distribution as practical without breaking the leaves, so that they may easily be, once cooked and served, removed by the eater of the steaks whole since they aren't to be eaten directly themselves but are there to flavour the food and to ensure it looks nice as an afterthought.

The result, as I do them, is as tender as the soul of miss K, as juicy as a really salacious secret or rumor to a gossip, or a tough chemistry mystery to a Lestat Rett, and as delicious as the very finest of food.

Ideally, the hand of mother nature being sufficiently generous permitting, such a steak should be served with not only the dried, powdered detoxified fly agaric mushroom and its parasitic poroid spicy hot basal taxon within the Boletus genus and Bolete-like and related mushrooms, but with a lovely steaming heap of wild mushrooms that had been picked that same day, and of the best eating quality species to be had, picked during a long hike in the forests, and a demanding one too physically, that ensures that by the time your back home, you'll probably want a small, but small enough to not inhibit appetite, dose of a stimulant to keep you on your feet momentarily whilst the wild fungi are cleaned, prepared as appropriate for the species collected, identified of course first and foremost for those that cannot be so instantly and reliably in the field on the spot, even caffeine for those that can tolerate it and do not dislike it. a hot cup of white tea or lady grey with lemon balm chopped and added to an infusion with honey, then made to serve as the liquid, once filtered, to brew the cup of tea from will work wonders, but make it a good bloody long and tough wide-ranging, rampage, yet both a rampage and a nose-to-the-ground and hands reaching deep into the bushes, up trees and raking through patches of leaflitter in order to ferret out the tastiest and choicest bagfulls of morsels, get yourself out there for a good several hours, and you'll come back, hopefully with bags full of choice, tasty superfresh wild mushrooms to eat and you'll have an appetite to match a meal to which superb justice ought be done.

In fact just thinking about the prospect is making me get up a fierce hankering to go hunting for wild mushrooms, and once I find some, preferably revisit my Lactarius deliciosus forest 'spot', that also has a tendency to produce the excellently tasty Boletus appendiculatus, which is quite a rare find, bay boletes (Xerocomus badius, Phillips et al syn Boletus badius), Suillus luteus, the slippery Jack bolete, as well as various larch boletes, such as Suillus grevillei, in addition to the star attraction of the show within that particular large, heavily coniferous, acid-soiled (heavy presence of acidophillic Ericaceous plants such as billberry bushes (like blueberries, but tiny, tiny tiny little wild ones, much darker in color than a blueberry, and without the pale bloom, blackish blue fruit, tiny rounded green leaves that have a tendency to redden a fair bit with age, and the fruit being about the size of a BB pellet, or slightly bigger, basically small to midsized shotgun pellet-sized and intensely sweet, juicy with an overtone of quite delightful tartness)  patch of woodland, its mixed though, plenty of old, hardwood deciduous trees like oaks, along with hawthorn, hazel, some silver birch, a lot of bracken fern which some things seem to like associating with in combination with their host tree species, for those mycorrhizal mushrooms (mycorrhizal fungi being those which form structures called mycorrhizae (plural, mycorrhiza sing.) with their hyphae, these are delicate microstructures which emanate from fungal mycelium (fungus roots basically, mycelium) and these mycorrhizae intertwine and intermesh and in many, many individual structures, penetrate the most delicate tips and tiniest parts of the roots of, typically in the case of those macrofungi which form host-symbiote associations, trees, although not exclusiely trees. Usually. A very well known case would be the Fly Agaric, Amanita muscaria with its red cap, white warty growth remnants of the velum universale upon the surface of the cap, white spores, white stem with a droopy, kind of soft, delicate but large and well developed ring present, and a distinctly meaty taste, and most particularly pronounced meaty-umami-savoury odor when dried, and this becoming extremely intense if dried and then subjected to the action of being steeped in simmering water, as with making a tea from the cured, detoxified mushrooms, a couple of caps being sufficient to fill an entire kitchen with the windows open and extractor fan on full blast, with a sweetish honeyed odour that is intensively redolent of meat at the same time as being sweet.) this is famous almost, certainly amongst mushroom pickers, ask any one of them what mushroom they associate mentally with the silver birch tree most (there are a number of fungi which grow in association with it) and they will tell you 'fly agarics', because, although they can also associate with pine, they are most enthusiastic for the silver birch, out of the two, and are very common under silver birch in ones, twos, threes, sometimes in luxuriant throngs where there be many trees; one may in season go out and pick many pounds of the mushroom to take home, heat-cure and dry, to be thusly certain to have sufficient supplies of it for medicinal use (for which it is particularly serviceable in the winter months when it is not to be found, after the season has ended, and the weather is icy cold and miserable), for cooking, and for those who'd wish to, for use as a psychotropic of the hallucinogenic type, although extremely far different and with nothing in common with psilocybin mushrooms, the common types of 'magic mushrooms' or shrooms. As well as, with a lower dose, for inducing lucid dreaming, especially in combination with the herb valerian, the two  together make for an incredibly powerful and effective oneirogenic mixture, whilst alone, or with certain other herbs which modulate the action of the fly agaric, in various ways as desired and as suitable for one's needs, with manyfold uses in herbal medicine;

For it is a sedative, it can also inaways most perculiar serve as a stimulating agent, the dose being the key, also it can ease anxiety, be used to relieve pain, especially that caused by muscular excessive tension, or fluey type coldey ilnesses of the feverish sort, the sort of thing that makes you ache all over from a biochemical cause rather than physical injury causative processes, there it'll shine, when cured and detoxified, given as a honeyed tea, simmering the caps in just-boiling water for a while, before straining through clean cloth, or at a pinch, kitchen towel or even bog roll, (unused of course:autism:)  until the particles of dried mushroom flakes spalled off as the caps expand as they rehydrate from the dried state in which they are stored, and in which they come when prepared since heat is used as part of the curing process to convert a chemically and thermally labile, unstable fungal biotoxin to the primary active, desirable compound, namely the toxic ibotenic acid present in fresh mushrooms, loses CO2 and decarboxylates to form muscimol, the fresh mushrooms are rough on the body although nonfatal, and will sicken the consumer, whilst dried, its a good kitchen spice, its an excellent one in fact IMO, I use it all the time and its one of my very favourite spices and similar plant or fungal flavour enhancing roots, shoots, seeds, leaves, stems, pods etc. etc. etc. that are used to jolly up the flavor of other foods)

And in winter especially, the tea made from the cured, dried caps is most gratifying, once out of the acute danger of clinical hypothermia, because it effectively removes the discomfort caused by being exposed to cold (and if actually in danger of hypothermia, stuck somewhere, this, could deaden the warning signs, and cause the consumer to ignore the acute, immediate danger, if one were in such a situation that freezing to death was a reality in prospect) but if this be not so, then a mug of such tea, honeyed to sweeten, will most effectively counter the sensation of discomfort and misery from cold, to such a potent extent that I have, after drinking a cup, and allowing it to act, to test it, walked about 3-4 miles through a howling gale, blasting a blizzard of snow and ice , wearing nothing from the waist up. Shoes, socks, underwear, trousers and on top, only a leather jacket, left unzipped and unbuttoned, open to the icy wind, and a pair of gloves so as to allow me to effectively operate things which required fingers to be able to move properly, without negatively influencing dexterity too much, more a practical concession than a luxury or self-permission during the experiment in terms of reasoning behind it, although they were all the same gratifying. 

At any rate, out I went, to go to the shops, wearing just this, plus my facial piercings which do not come out, ever, bought my snacks, after the cup of hot fly agaric tea with honey and I didn't, could not, in fact, feel the bone-seeking deep cold i wasn't shivering, aching, wasn't in the slightest affected, to the extent that I felt as warm the moment I got back inside as I did the moment before I first opened the door of my house to leave.

Had I not drunk the fly agaric tea, made from this common (fortunately) mycorrhizal mushroom I would have wanted badly to cut short the journey and return home, seek shelter, or if I'd pressed on out of sheer willpower, I would have been bone-achingly, painfully freezing the fuck cold, but instead, zero discomfort, before during or after the journey. A wee nip of spirituous alcoholic beverage was welcomed once I was out of the physical cold, and back home, but it was not hungrily grasped for, shaking like a leaf, whilst getting ready to prepare a mug of hot chocolate, steaming hot tea etc. (mycorrhizal  fungus species are often extremely difficult, or sometimes currently impossible to cultivate in some cases. Since it involves infecting the host tree with the desired species, like truffle plantations. It can be done in a lot of cases, in some areas where they already grow too, can productivity  be increased by carefully looking after and managing the forests in question to best control conditions and render them favourable for growth of a target species present there, but unlike growing a saprobic species (those which exist by means of feeding on dead organic matter, such as for example, growing meadow/grassland or dung-living fungi, soil freeliving species and woodlovers of various kinds. And even parasites of certain sorts can be grown or cultured in-vitro or even in living hosts, although not all parasites or symbionts can be cultured at all, but some, some can. I'm in the beginnings, after doing much research, into setting up a project regarding a certain parasitic fungus and its in-vitro culture (I.e in submerged culture in fermentation tanks, and for certain purposes during the process, using the natural host species of the parasite as, in a manner of speaking, a 'regeneration cycle chamber', only made of living cellular tissue of a live host rather than glass and metal and teflon and a 'soup' of complex polyol 'sugar alcohol's, aminoacids, trace elements necessary for function of various enzymes and some of which in addition in excess can be used to promote biological processes desired to be so, as well as various more complex and non-naturally coexisting, non-nutrient chemicals used for things like encapsulation in polymer microparticulate beads, doped with oxygen transporting perfluorocarbon/H2O/polymer substrate emulsions and seeded with culture, spiked with surfectants to enhance cellular permeability to oxygen and nutrients and electrolytes to regulate the osmotic pressure balance of the captive cells.

Its a pretty ambitious project, and will involve at a minimum, if, if IF I happen (and this is down to luck and chance as  well as skill, in a very heavy degree, and cannot be dictated, it must be obtained as a result of repetitive culturing, testing for productivity of the target compounds the parasite is capable of biosynthesizing, subculturing, retesting, various nutrient surplus or and starvation cycling processes, treatment of culture samples with chemical mutagens (which will kill most of the colonies, but a few cells invariably remain, and which can then be tested further after reestablishing the mutated strains on a fresh agar plate, until at the lowest end, hundreds, higher estimates with average luck probably thousands or even tens of thousands of plates/slants run and tested for alkaloid production levels once moved from a growth-favourable high phosphate medium to a phosphate-depleted medium for production)

And even the likes of doping them with colchicine to inhibit mitosis and thereby inducing an artificial form of polyploidy (a problem with this particular parasite is, although highly tolerant to both monokaryotic and heterokaryotic states, whilst not vital, it is important and most favourable for production to have a heterokaryotic strain, and I'm wondering if, to avoid losing strain stability, to employ colchicine, a mitotic inhibitor known as a 'spindle poison' could, by serving to duplicate the chromosomes of a strain, not by outcrossing, but by essentially internally cloning the chromosomes already there in a homokaryotic monokaryotic strain, doubling the chromosome count using as a template the strain's OWN karyotype but preventing the usual cell division (for certain reasons its difficult to just use a spore culture. The species of parasite has two natural lifecycles, one of them sexual, and involving genetic recombination and thus instability with regard to productivity of the sought natural substances the fungi are able to produce, and the other involving an asexual cycle  where the infected plant is made to release something like honeydew, laden with self-fertilized purestrain ascospores which remain true to type.

The problem being that productive strains are usually heterokaryotic, but at the same time, heterokaryon strains  unfortunately, typically produce outcrossed spores when they replicate rather than pumping out self-fertilized ascospores. So its difficult to get a producer strain that will remain true-to-type and not form mutated progeny (and this little fucker has a high NATURAL mutagenesis rate to begin with, oh boy has it ever) that may well not have any decent capability to produce. Might, might not, but if it does might not  subculture to STAY productive.

So there's colchicine, I want to try after obtaining a productive strain, there is arsenic, to, after growth, act as a poison targeting phosphate metabolism on the intracellular level disrupting uptake by competing with phosphorus, added as arsenate, since arsenic is the element one down in the periodic table from phosphorus, it acts to compete, once absorbed, with phosphorus involving metabolic processes, so adding arsenical compounds might well serve, I theorize, to, if added in quantities insufficient to kill the fungus, to, once the initial growth phase has completed and the culture is ready to be washed in an osmotically static solution, to remove the traces of high phosphate growth medium and then transfer it into production medium containing only trace phosphate, or else forcing the culture to rely on intracellular reserves accumulated during growth, whilst employing low levels of arsenic poisoning to interfere with phosphate metabolism, whilst refraining from disrupting DNA/RNA synthesis since the equivalent of a nucleic acid chain, I.e genetic material has the nucleotide purine and pyrimidine nucleobases strung along a 'ladder' of phosphodiesters linked together as linear chains, but an equivalent arsenodiester is extremely prone to hydrolysis and thus would not be stable enough to coexist and form an arsenical homolog of DNA/RNA. Already got plenty potassium phosphate, and can of course easily buy phosphoric acid as required, now I just need to get myself various macronutrient 'food' for my little parasitic friends there, vitamins in large quantities, various trace minerals to be added in minute amounts, and get me some arsenic, some colchicine, various perfluorocarbons, surfectants, the monomer for the polymer I have in mind to use for the immobilization microspherule matrix particles, an ultrasound generator, and of course, a one-off although rather larger expense in the form of a sophisticated spectrophotometer suitable for performing sensitive analyses of the complex (and also variable) mixture of compounds resultant from a successful strain isolate and successful culture and extraction and purification (will also need to get myself some chromatography columns and some chromatographic silica gel and various  alumina types for perfoming column chromatography, as well as make myself some TLC plates for analysis of the spotting patterns and retention times for preliminary ID typing of the alkaloid fraction, whilst the columns are for actual preparatory separation, and the expensive bit, an IR spectrophotometer, although as of yet I still need to determine the spectral range required, and a little finer delving to determine whether IR (infrared) or UV-VIS (ultraviolet-visible light wavelength range) and what specific type, because there are many to choose from. Will help me in a lot of my other work too, although at a minimum it'll cost me hundreds of pounds, half a grand to 600-700  quid or so.

But its something, especially if it turns out that the IR range is suitable, that will serve me indefinitely in a massive number of ways. Nondestructive testing (usually, although in the case of ultraviolet spectrophotometry, some compounds are sensitive to UV light of course)

And requiring relatively few consumables, in the case of IR specs. Something like a Raman IR laser spectrophotometer would be ideal, and allow me to run samples against databanks of structures via a computer for rapid analysis and typing. Similar tech to the likes of what airport customs filth use to identify suspected 'controlled' substances'.  Rapid too, able to scan through massive libraries within seconds to minutes.

Some Lithium aluminium hydride, and some Red-Al (sodium bis-2-methoxyethoxyaluminium hydride, aka vitride, aka selectride will have to come for other things, and I'm out of another reagent I need more of, so those will have to come out of my savings. But I do have a goodly amount of money built up, from holding out massively on spending, I might even have enough for the spectrophotometer already. If that is I cannot build my own IR spec. I have seen plans online for using certain types of CD media and prisms to make a diffraction grating for the laser beam and even the code to interface such a device via micro-USB to an Iphone and use a custom written Iphone app to hack together a functioning IR spectrophotometer from a phone, a computer CD-ROM disk, a prism, and some lengths of cable to interface the thing, plus something to serve as a chamber to hold the quartz cuvettes which are used to put samples in to be scanned by the laser.

Will have to work out which is cheaper and what will be the best performance, see if it works out more economical but will still work well enough, or if I should just go out and buy a secondhand IR spec. Although if I can get the phone second/third/fourth hand etc, for a few quid, doesn't even have to make phonecalls, just run an app, for a dedicated-purpose, handheld 'tricorder'-esque diagnostic IR spectrophotometer scanner that will give me qualitative measurements at least, then I can work with that certainly, and it'd be a neat project, fun to hack together.

Wouldn't mind building myself a Geiger-counter and the tube to go with it whilst I'm at it, mostly for the hell of it and the fun of doing it.

What am I thinking right now? christ fucking wept! my mind is absolutely heaviing and buzzing with ideas and plans right now.
I feel..weirdly quickened, not due to the influence of any outside agents just...on fucking FIRE with ideas tonight. I know where exactly I am going to start, too. Time to put the microwave to some.....shall we say, rather less than conventional ideas as to the uses a microwave oven can be put to. And I know what I'm doing with it too for said uses. Most definitely unconventional as to what is nuked in there and how, but all the same, there are things to be done, and I know just what they are and how to do them, and done they shall be.  And then there is  the azeotropic drying of a certain sulfonic acid thats got to be purified and gainfully put to service as it has been intended to be so put.

Have to admit, for my very first time, doing a microwave synthesis of anything, it was unnerving to be there operating my lab microwave (picked up from a supermarket car-park after watching it for a long time and nobody came for it, so its been there serving me ever since), standing there with a flask  placed in a bowl, containing 3/4 of a liter of volatile and highly flammable chemicals, thermometer stuck in the top, and with a wad of scrunged-up bog roll (unused mind you:autism:) to keep the fumes from the reaction taking place, which had lachrymatory and strongly sternutatory (acting like teargas, giving off highly irritating fumes, and causing constant severe sneezing until I first vastly reduced the release of vapor using a bog-roll plug in the flask neck, which allowed gas pressure to remain equalized with the external environment rather than inducing overpressure in a sealed, stoppered and keck-clipped flask (which would have blown under pressure from the volatiles being repeatedly subjected to pulses of microwave irradiation, not exploded as such, at least not in an explosion, but the same thing happening in a glass container as happens if you continually pump compressed air into a car tyre until it can take no more, and then pump in a bit more, the straw to break the camel's back so to speak. I.e it'd have become highly pressurized, until the glass burst, propelling fragments of razor-edged broken glass shrapnel like a frag grenade. Only in a microwave oven. Full of volatile chemicals. Probably messy and probably end up in a ball of plasma igniting and making a big bloody well mess considering something in there had oxidizing properties and the other reducing properties, and both being flammable and very, very fuel-ish. Voila, one microwave-pumped plasma ball and ignition of the vapors of the sprayed out, atomized fuel-air mixture with very, very ugly results indeed. So, instead, simple bog roll, allowed the pressure to remain stable and prevent it shattering or damaging the flask, and at the same time, also confining most of the teargas-like vapors, and holding my thermometer in position as I checked it every ten to fifteen seconds or so and applied the coolant bath as required to keep the temperature within the acceptable parameters for my reaction to take place successfully, and importantly, cleanly, much more so than with conventional heating, and taking all of 15-20 minutes instead of taking between 5 and 7 hours on the steam-bath and producing a dirtier product, rather than the rapid, clean synthesis via microwaving the same reactants for 20 minutes.

Was unnerving the first time, but I pulled it off all well and good, although a gas mask was needed because of the irritating vapors being fumed off out of the flask, replicating it with the slight modification of the bog-roll plug, that fixed that in a trice, better than expected by far too:)

Time's come that needs to be rerun since I'm in need of a particular reagent that I had to use the MW to make (well didn't have to but I'm bleedin' buggered if I'm twatting around for 6 hours for a product of inferior purity when I can have my same reagent made to a better standard in 20 minutes with some good care and attention paid to temperature control)

I'm not gonna throw a dismissive TL;DR at you, Lestat. but that was definitely too big a wall of text for my poor little brain to handle, ATM. Luckily, I cauight sight of that last bit though. Thank you ;)

I had a funny momebt on some other forum, not long back, when a guy responded to a post of mine with "TDR" . Well, I scoured the web to find out what TDR means, and found various definitions of course, but nothing that made the slightest bit of sense in context. So I posted a few of those definitions back at him, together with some observation about his posts being brief to the point of opacity.,

 I also- coincidentally- explained that the reason I'd used bold in some posts (which was something he was taking for shouting, and was taking the piss cos I'd had a go at him for shouting) was to enable the casual reader to pick out the main point from my wall of text. I then observed that the same logic failed to explain his own usage of great big red text , since he'd never posted anything remotely resembling a wall of text.

His response to that was that TDR meant "too long , didn't read" ---his own, even more truncated version !  He couldn't even be arsed with writing TL;DR in full! :LOL:

That was funny enough,  in context. But he followed that up with something else notable - not funny, but amazingly gratifying. He actually posted his own "wall of text" explaining remarkably cogently, and remarkably frankly, why he'd been taking the irritating stance he's been taking in the issue under discussion, and getting so het up about it.  This took the discussion onto a whole new level, and pretty much resolved all the bickering and sniping in a heartbeat.

Wow! walls of text FTW!

..but . ummm, could you make yours a teeny bit shorter, please?

Because yes, I do love her still.  Of course she will have changed, and grown, hopefully both for the best in her, from when I knew her at the age she was when we were engaged,  doesn't mean I'm not still really, really taken with her

 But then, whaddya know, she makes two freaking posts that I really  feel like plussing.

and now she'll probably expect me to start stalking her next  :LOL:

Sorry Weeble. I;'m not in love,  it's just one of those random coincidences.  Normal service (or lack thereof) will surely resume.

The SO and I are going to pick a day once a month (after he's recovered) to make a bunch of freezer meals that can be put in the slow cooker. Some girlfriends of mine dropped off 10 of them after the two surgeries which have been a huge help. I'm slowly getting better at eating. Usually, if I cook, I won't eat it. I lose my appetite. But if it's cooked for me, I can eat it. When I'm stressed, the first thing to go is my eating.

I try to do a rotation (emphasis on try)
Monday and Thursday - Beans
Tuesday and Friday - Fish
Wednesday and Saturday - Chicken
Alternate Sundays - Pork and Beef

I do a weekly meal plan. Every Thursday night I plan and then make my shopping list with Friday being my shopping day. I'm not someone who can wing it. I need to know what I'm making on each day and if I have to switch around a dish to another day, that's fine but at least I know I have what I need to make it in the house already.

Post by: Queen Victoria on October 01, 2017, 05:06:24 PM
In theory my plan helps because I know how much meat, fish, chicken to buy each week. 

One deli chicken makes 2 dark meat servings and a chunk of white meat chicken salad.
Two cans of tuna and 2 portions of frozen fish.
About two cans of cooked beans and 1/2 pound of sausage.  Rice is about 2 cups.
The pork and beef for Sunday is bought on a monthly basis.  So a medium roast could last 2 to 3 meals.

This is all theoretical since more often than not I end up not following the plan.  But I am getting better at it.  Since it's soon winter the chicken bones will make a serving or 2 of soup for my lunch.

Years ago I figured out that the best grocery sales were in the first ads for the month.  This is because most people were paid on the 1st and 15, on the 1st and retirement and Social Security checks came out on the 1st and 3rd.  That's the best time to catch the bargains.  However, holidays do tend to throw a spanner in the works.

Just had a can of rice pudding out of the fridge (uncooked, I don't heat mine up. I like my rice pudding served cold, at least all the canned ones. The ONLY rice pudding I like hot, is; for some reason, a particular kind that only ever have I encountered in hospitals. That is served hot and I like it that way, but all the brands or kinds I've ever bought, I like to stick them in the fridge for a day or two first to get nice and chilly. And some rhubarb&custard milkshake, 2 liters of the stuff.

I have a family-sized pack of fresh egg pasta, not ravioli, but little packets like that stuffed with salty chicken&bacon. Last one, I ate the entire thing, family size or not. Because now, I am very close to having totally lost my ability to feel hunger at all. I don't know why. So I plan my meals. Even not hungry that pasta, boiled for 3 minutes in water with a bit of salt in it is lovely stuff and both quick to make and easy as fuck.

It is pink ribbon month. Maybe the white is not white but a pale pink?
Especially lingerie shops will join in with pink ribbon.

I wonder if the shop owner will think I'm weird if I ask her where she bought it :laugh:

Just do it. I bet they've had weirder questions. And weird not nasty things happening make life of a shopkeeper interesting.

You'll be doing them a favour!

Fuck.Ing.SWEET!

Just found a rotavap on ebay for cheap. Only £873.19! free shipping too. Damn.

I was saving for a spectrophotometer, but atm on ebay they are all either visible wavelength or UV-VIS types and I want an IR spec.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1L-Rotary-Evaporator-Rotavap-for-removal-of-solvents-evaporation-free-shipping-/292098335940?hash=item44026ae4c4:g:jj4AAOSwkShZAV1r

I am SO grabbing this. Makes evaporation of solvents (and recovery of them) much faster than distillation either at atmospheric pressure or even vacuum distillation. I am HAVING this. I've wanted a rotavap for ages. They work by spinning the flask containing whatever it is to be evaporated around, placed in a heating bath so a thin film is created on the interior of the flask, and placing the system under vacuum, its vacuum distillation, but due to the larger surface area in comparison to a static flask it evaporates and distills off much much faster. Very useful bit of kit. The spectrophotometer can wait, this is going to be my xmas present to myself this year. I've got enough savings to be able to buy it, and since today and tomorrow are pay-days I'll still have enough for the rent and for food.

Usual prices are in the thousands (some on ebay are going for just over 4K.

So this is a real bargain. Definitely going to grab that. Will wait until tomorrow, just in case any get listed cheaper but if not, then that'll be it. Damn...FINALLY I can afford my own rotavap :autism:
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on October 10, 2017, 09:59:32 AM
MM...I think today might just be rotavap day. Go find my preferred model within my price range after paying rent and checking remaining bank balance, and then order me my rotavap. Then I'll start saving up again, and again after that, first getting myself a UV-VIS spectrophotometer then saving up again for a Raman laser spectrophometer operating in the infra-red region, or even better a fourier-transform IR spectrophotometer

Even if I've to save 5 grand or more by saving a £10 or 20 note in a jar, every pay day until there is enough, I'm GOING to have that FT-IR or at least a Raman IR, the UV-VIS I can afford, or at least save up for over a few months until I can afford one, for now, I can finally get the rotavap I'd otherwise not be able to, Raman would cost me a LOT, but I need this stuff  big time, for a MAJOR-league capacity and capability upgrade of my lab technology level.

Ooohh I can't fucking wait to grab me a rotavap. I've wanted one for SOOOOOOOO long. Any and every professional, research, uni lab have them, now its time I have one (to begin with one at least), Although I will want several different sizes when I can, or adapt one for many uses. Can't wait to have one though, having coveted a rotavap since childhood.

Happens that way to me too. Its like some mysterious jedi power or something, the power to sniff out an autie or aspie like a bloodhound tracking a fugitive.

Relationship-wise, I seem to have some kind of talent for more or less pulling them out of the ether (I mean, the kind once thought to exist as a sort of tenuous, ghostly realm of semi-substance in which the universe is set; as opposed to keeping a basement full of relationship candidates deep-frozen in cryo-tubes of solvent :P)

Almost every time I've ever been in a relationship they are either autistic/aspie or at the other end and far, far less welcome, I attract the psychos for some reason. Only a couple of times have I ever been in a relationship with somebody just average NT. And she was a bitch, an attentionwhoring, gobby, unrefined and with very little in the way of redeeming features.  Got out as soon as I could and found myself with cazzie, my ex fiancee. Although that was one spesh relationship that didn't actually involve my spazzdar, I knew she was, since everybody there aside from the one responsible for providing transport (afaik) and the paintball game operators themselves were. And I didn't so much as detect her as get taken by surprise and dragged off. Not kicking and screaming, I admit, I didn't really put up a fight :P not that it would have done me much good since by then she had obviously decided I was going to be her boyfriend (although she won't have known I'd propose as fast as I did, probably the only time I ever got the drop on her :autism:

Best relationship I've ever had. As if she'd dragged me out of hell all the way to heaven. Usually though I tend to sense it in people, and also any potential relationship candidates I meet always seem to be on the spectrum somewhere.

Ikea? you poor, poor wee muffin miss K; they have those stygian maws of hades where you are too? *hugs better* you have my deepest condolences for you and your nation.

Ikea is one of the devil's own finest inventions, custom-made in his finest hour to torment those desparately in need of horrid flatpack home add-ons after being forced to wander round the entire damnation-spawned pestilential gaping sphincter until you have gone round the whole ugly, windowless, nasty little abyss and eventually, when your will to live is broken and your soul sucked mostly from your body as if it were the devil's own ice-pop, it sees fit to shit you out in an emotionally, spiritually and mentally frayed, hell-mucus-bespattered mound of hollowed out flesh and skin.

Either that or the US government wanted a reason for people not to propose enforcable, binding treaties forbidding the use of incendiary weapons of warfare that would meet with universal approval.

CBC-thats because you are a spazz, dearie *pats on head*

And I can't quite put my finger on it, but my (rather damn cute too) young  lady neighbor, she triggers my spesh-dar too. Things like, when offered a new plant for her garden (she loves her gardening) declining because 'oh, but I'd never be able to decide where to put it'. That really made my spazz bell ring. And another potential giveaway is that she sees, whilst open and friendly, slightly reserved, not shy per se, just that she has her own inner world in there too,  that isn't necesarily a part of the one the rest of us see when we open our eyes and get out of bed.

And I kinda like her, which is another tick on the list, since I don't tend to find NT women attractive, even if they physically speaking, would be sizzling hot to NT guys, this lass I immediately took to on first speaking to her, liked her generally speaking, good to talk with, kinda attractive, refreshing to be around if that makes sense.

New girl in the supermarket. Total delight, extremely formal, combined with very outgoing. She makes me smile. Am older employee (also not normal... but no full-blown spazz.) saw me smile and said she was a bit of a worry. Sweet girl, working her ass off, but sometimes saying things to customers that absolutely could not be said. (Yes, have noticed her doing that myself too, clearly spazz mistakes).

Told the older employee that if they were going to discuss her right to stay that I was in favour of her.

Humans trying to herd cats=epic fail from the start.

Autistic cats= The spesh cats each individuallydecide to move about in herds and at least pay lip-service to coming when called or doing tricks. Not with very much sincerity to speak of, but at least going through the motions and acting the 'lets blend in with the dogs' part. And when they've successfully infiltrated canine society, using their superior intellect, abilities and their ability to have people behave as staff, whilst dogs are stuck being owned, and being given orders and expected to obey demands, and expected to only ever be seen outside of the house with a human holding them on a leash whilst cats get to go when and where they please.

That wasn't exactly the point I was attempting to convey FWM. Rather, that there is a very large disparity in the degree of freedom accorded to cats, and to dogs.

Although it isn't always true that they aren't stupid, some can be, the ones who are abused, sadly, that will not only stay with, but fawn over the piece of subhuman filth that is responsible for beating them.

Righty ho, now I've got my footwear on, it is time for four things: a shot of morphine&oxycodone for the morning (done and done, well just done, mixed the two into one solution so as not to have to endure two intramuscular injections, I hate IMs, they hurt, oxy less so but morphine is a fairly significant releaser of histamine, and whilst at very first all one feels is the alex plank...I mean small prick, ahem, of the needle stick itself when done right, after about 3/4 of the dose is pushed out (using a 3ml syringe, a little less than that if its 5ml which is about the limits of tolerability for an IM, IMO) then the histamine release starts to come into play and it starts to hurt, kind of like a bee sting only not quite so painful, and it only lasts for a brief period, before it either subsides or the stinging is masked by the painkilling effect of the medicine itself, possibly both, although I've no way to tell which of the two is the case, or if it is both together)

Thats done, next, a trip to the shops to buy a few things to eat and drink, including one of those high calory-density 'liquid meal in a can' milkshakes, chocolate I think I'll go for, although for convenience today I'm going to buy two, they don't cost much, a little more than £1, which for the equivalent of fully half a day's calory requirement is pretty cheap when it comes down to a pence per period of bodily energy requirements equation. Maybe three, two for now, plus something more substantial, a chocolate bar perhaps just for something solid to chew on really, a bag of sweets to nibble on as and when I feel like it, a tin of cigars and most importantly a big pack of cans of coke. Proper coke, not that noxious diet shite or coke zero, which taste about as good as regular coke would if one were to drink it after it had already been drunk, twice, the second time by a filthy scabby leprous, foulmouthed old hobo and pissed out by same for the second time. Possibly the first time too. I'm going to have a can of REAL coke, and none of that pepsi sewage either. Then smoke a cigar, have another can of coke and the remainder of this morning's morphine/oxy dose, in what order I really haven't decided, other than that the cigar is going to come after the pain meds, because for some reason, tobacco is immensely satisfying when having taken a strong opiate in a manner that it is otherwise not, the two go together as well as cheese, olives and pizza. And, unfortunately, yes it does seem to need to be tobacco itself, since synthetic nicotine which lacks the trace alkaloids such as the low levels of harmala alkaloid MAOIs which modulate the activity of the nicotine, does not satisfy in the same way in the slightest.

Oh, and take my antiseizure med whilst I am at it, because the last thing on my morning to-do list is to have a seizure, because I'll be getting the chemistry set out, and not only using a piece of glassware that cost me £80something (a large separatory funnel), It contains a solution of something rather precious, dissolved in toluene, and I want it out of the toluene, which means first draining one of two liquid layers away, leaving the toluene one behind with my precious item dissolved therein, and drying it scrupulously with a dessicant chemical, which I would most certainly not want spilled all over me if I were to suddenly end up paralyzed and falling to the floor, or having a myoclonic seizure and ending up dropping a kg of the stuff over me, with it burning its way through my flesh, becoming searing hot as it does so. (or losing half my current stock of quicklime for that matter) whilst drying some isopropyl alcohol, again with quicklime, and distilling it from more quick-lime into a flask protected by a drying tube, then dripping hydrochloric acid into a little concentrated sulfuric acid to generate dry HCl gas, itself to be passed through another dessicant-filled tube, and then piping the resultant anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas into cold alcohol, such as isopropanol, and making a dilute solution of HCl in iPA, adding this to the toluene and converting what is in the toluene from a freebase to the hydrochloride salt, drying it out thoroughly and thence testing it to make sure its all good and active as it should be.

And if all goes to plan, I think another cigar, a couple of lines of oxy up the nose and another can or two of cold coke is in order to celebrate a successful synthesis.  First, though, to fix the immediate task on the to-do list-fill my stomach and slake my thirst. Then, then it is time for me to get to work, doing what I do best:heisenberg:

And I am going to enjoy every minute of it, save the walk to the shops. I'll manage fine enough though, I've some pain meds in me so no nasty joint issues.

"Car malaise" - Is that a term?

To describe the feeling you get when something feels WRONG with your car but you can't quite pinpoint what it is?

Just got out of that situation.  However I had a suspicion about the second part of the malaise.  $480 later no more malaise, but no more money either.

Whats wrong with a quill pen? I like writing with them.

Hm, there's a thought...I might just have to take my handwritten lab notes, the ones that are worthy enough to go into a leatherbound book rather than just the notebooks for my, well, notetaking. But for the bona-fide great successes, the kind worthy of a permanent and elegant recording for future use, I think I might just do that. Quill-pens feel comfortable in my hand, the way they move across the paper or parchment, whilst ballpoint pens, I really hate writing with them, they make my hand ache and almost go into a sort of weird, highly localized sensory overload. Like the overload version of a local anaesthetic. That and making me ache. Pencils are better but too impermanent for a record of the best of my achievements in chemistry, and how they are to be re-achieved, in meticulous detail, when perfection is of the essence. That'd be perfect! I might even get myself a bigger leatherbound book than I already have for that, just so I can start it and continue exclusively written with quill and ink.

And if I go for style I could, just for the theme, use the old-fashioned ink that can be made from certain fungi, notaby those in the genus Coprinus, which deliquesce into black, deep dark inky slime, and used to be used, with certain additives to make it more permanent and preserve it from decay, as a good black writing ink. That is, if I don't eat them first before they get inky and go inedible (there are two especially good ones, Coprinus comatus, the shaggy ink-cap aka the lawyer's wig, which is excellent when fried in butter and extremely easily identified even for a n00b mushroom-muncher with a good degree of safety, and very little risk of misidentification indeed, none in fact if they be more than a few hours old, when the gills turn from pure white to developing a pinkish tinge, before finally blackening and the entire mushroom degenerating into black, inky slime laden with spores. The other large species of good edibility is C.atrementarius, the common ink-cap, which is again fairly easily identified, to the point I know either of them on sight from a fair way off and am very rarely mistaken upon waking closer. Tasty, but they MUST NEVER be eaten with alcohol, nor must one drink any alcohol, nor use alcoholic mouthwashes, medicines containing alcohol, or indeed any other primary or secondary alcohol of intoxicant nature (however tertiary alcohols such as tertiary pentanol can be used as an intoxicant, since tert.alcohols can't be easily oxidized into either aldehydes (primary alcohols including ethanol, our most common drinking alcohol, metabolized into acetaldehyde, which is largely responsible for the horrid symptoms of a severe hangover, as well as that awful faint-fruity kind of smell that you can taste on the breath several hours after drinking say, vodka in a fair quantity, thats the faint smell of some of the acetaldehyde produced in the liver.

The common ink-cap however, whilst totally harmless in the absence of alcohols oxidizable to aldehydes or ketones (primary, secondary respectively) in the liver, contain a compound called coprine, which inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase, a liver enzyme which breaks down many aldehydes thus causing them to build up in levels far exceeding those naturally formed during the ingestion of alcohol, and acting like nature's answer to disulfiram (antabuse), the drug used on alcoholics who have ceased drinking, as a relapse-preventative attempt via aversion therapy. Won't kill you, unless you got real unlucky indeed and drank a shitton of booze but it would make you wish it had done.

Having a mental self-debate-stroke-argument with myself, as  to whether or not I am going to perform what is just about my most-despised, loathed, hated reaction in all organic chemistry I have ever tangled with, although using it in a different way to that of all past attempts (and all of  those come to fuck all of use, and a bunch of toxic wastes that I really don't want around). On the one hand I HATE it. And it hates me at least as much, probably quite a lot more, than I loathe IT, amd the substrate, whilst I can make more, is reacted with another reagent which is to say the least, rather precious, not so much in terms of price, but in terms of being able to get any that isn't watched like a hawk by big brother, although I have my ways, and I need not buy more, not for my self-arguing theoretical purpose, since I have over a liter already, and of course me being me, I have my ways and means, channels both overt and covert, On the other I can find step-by-step writeups and also analyses of the writeups quality and quirks by those other fellow chemists who have used the reaction with the secondary reagent's one carbon smaller, smallest and nearest relative.

I could make these reagents, but its easier by far to buy them, and to make them would involve making an expensive silver compound, after first getting a considerably large amount of metallic silver and dissolving it in nitric acid, which again, I'd have to prepare myself by dissolving some of my sodium nitrate in concentrated sulfuric acid and distilling off the nitric acid formed. Not the most pleasant of tasks, and to prepare large quantities of the needed reagent I'd also need sodium nitrIte, which I do not have. Or potassium nitrite, again I don't have this either, or any other nitrite, only sodium nitrAte, as my general stock nitrate salt, which when needful I can prepare nitric acid from and use that to prepare other metal nitrate salts. And I'd need a LOT of silver too, and the only Ag I have, its all part of antiques, bar a bottle of about 25g of silver chloride. And if anybody thinks I'm going to dump centuries old silver artefacts into conc. nitric acid then they've another thing coming. Especially the biggest piece of silver I have, thats real old, more than half a millenium old. So no. It is not replacable, and is doubtless quite valuable although I've never come across a jeweller who was able even to give me a valuation, nobody I've tried has ever seen its like before. Other than generic 'a jerusalem cross', neither antiques dealers nor dealers in precious metals or jewellers have been able to inform me as to its actually)
progeny. Its one thing to buy silver bullion for making silver nitrate (its cheaper actually to buy silver metal and make your own nitric acid with a cheap nitrate salt and conc. sulfuric acid, even drain-cleaner, and distill off the resultant concentrated nitric acid, or with 100% sulfuric rather than 96%-99% drain cleaner acid (yes its dyed, but yes it does have its uses even un-distilled) one can make fuming nitric acid, at least WFNA, or if really needed, prepare the WFNA (white-fuming-nitric-acid, basically 100% HNO3) and make RFNA (red fuming nitric acid, which is WFNA with dissolved NOx gases, nitrogen dioxide giving it the color due to breakdown of the added , dinitrogen tetroxide) by preparing and adding the appropriate quantity of dinitrogen tet separatey (N2O4 is thermodynamically unstable, reverting to an equilibrium of NO2 and N2O4, when above a critical temperature (a sub-zero temperature rather than high-temp rxn)

I've got a feeling this week is going to be the same for me too, I've got an appointment I wish I didn't have to keep, but I do. With a chemistry reaction which has been nothing but trouble for me since the moment I ever tried it, but which I am determined to get to grips with and until one particular reagent, the one I like least, and would sooner never work with generally, in that or any other use, has had the quantity I currently possess, used up and gone. I want to get it right, and make the damn thing work for me. At least once, if for no other reason than to show it that IT isn't going to 'win' in a contest of wills 'twixt me and it, and that I can, and will succeed where others too have done so and that I won't let it break me, I'll start a reaction of its type, I'll finish it and clean up the product until I have ended up with useful, clean product of the nature corresponding to my end goal.

Just got back home, waiting for my hands to warm up and pain meds to kick in, went out to buy food+drink.

Got plenty of some really good pastries the co-op do round here, especially these cheese and chilli jalapeno rolls that really do have a nice bit of fire in them, along with various custard danishes and tarts, pain au chocolat.  And still got a good  £260-something, which I'm hoping might be enough to get me a diaphragm type vacuum pump on ebay, with a teflon interior, is what I want, so it'll be a lot less susceptible to any nasty ass corrosives and other highly reactive compounds getting through cold-traps. Especially if I'm using something like Fomblin oil, one of their fluoroinert high-vac oils to provide extra protection and long life for the oil. And to that end, I want a suitable U-tube, or set of them, for running cold traps using either liquid nitrogen or dry ice-acetone traps (when doing vacuum distillation its often advisable or needed to have a coolant bath with a trap immersed in a very cold mixture like that, which is set up inline between the exhaust from the system being put under vacuum and the intake of the pump, so anything that wants to get into the pump has to pass through the trap first and be frozen out; something especially important if distilling things that could corrode the insides of the pump and destroy moving parts)

Methinks tonight shall be the night I finally tangle with a certain chemistry reaction that has from the very first time I ever tried it has defeated me, its not one I like at all for many, many reasons, and one that uses an exceedingly poisonous chemical in the process, and its finicky as hell.

But, I've finally been given a step by step guide from somebody who performed it on a small scale and succeeded, getting maybe a 70-80 percent yield of the desired end product. I've only a very small amount of the critical reagent used in the reaction (the nasty ass poisonous one), although enough for several tries, since only a miniscule quantity is required in any case, tens of milligrams, and I've got a few hundred at least, maybe over a half gram left. So more than enough; I just want to use it up, so what can be achieved with its use is achieved, or at least attempted to the best of my abilities, so then its gone, and I can then turn to other methods that I'd prefer to use by far, such as use of lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4 or in chemist shorthand 'LAH'), its pyrophoric, water sensitive as hell, sensitive to oxygen, and needs to be handled under rigorously dried inert gas atmospheres, in glassware dried by flame, and the ether or THF used as solvent first pre-dried over conventional dessicants suitable for dessication of ethers and then by boiling it in a flame-dried flask with the condenser treated likewise and protected by a drying tube loaded with an efficient drying agent, and distilling from the sodium (or potassium, calcium, barium or strontium, as well as lithium ought to do just fine also) directly into the flask in which the reaction is to be performed, the sodium etc. serving to react irreversibly to produce sodium hydroxide as byproduct, and binding the water chemically, removing all but the most miniscule traces, fractions of a fraction of a percent at most,.

Whilst it reacts very violently with water, and will ignite on contact with solvent containing any H2O, or ignite when exposed to air, giving off a very large quantity of hydrogen gas and  this igniting also when the LAH does so.

But, unlike the stuff I'll be using the last of, essentially to get rid of it, but in getting rid of it, derive what benefit it has to bestow, LAH is environmentally friendly and not itself a virulent poison, just requires great care in handling.

And its much more reliable, its fast, clean and doesn't produce toxic waste that is both a cumulative poison in living things, an environmental contaminant if not recycled and the Hg reclaimed, and the wastes are not malignant stuff. So, its preferable. And what it does, it does with great efficiency.

So, tonight, the person who succeeded and was kind enough to give me a blow-by-blow account of a reaction of the kind that I've failed at every attempt before, and at great cost in terms of resources, time, effort and money, as well as in reagents that are both watched as hell and difficult to obtain, their kindness will be put to good use, their work used as guide, and hopefully, success as they themselves had will finally, finally be mine. I'll have to do a recrystallization on my substrate first, but that won't take long or be difficult. Re-X from isopropanol will be just the thing I should think, perhaps in THF, although that would be more of an experiment, I'd have to test the substrate to see how soluble it is in THF, but I have no shortage of THF, or substrate either for that matter. Although the latest lot of said substrate does need some methanol removing from the post-reaction liquors to enable the crystallization of the substrate, and then needs my working it up to get it nice and clean, a re-X or two. No biggie anyway.

I just want to make this damn tricky, variable reaction work for me at least once, basically because I do not want to allow such a thing to beat me. It has cost me so much time, money, effort and chemicals that I HAVE to get it right at least once. I'm not the type to stand by and let the bugger laugh at me :P

And there's a horror movie (or its meant to be) in the background on TV, set in australia. Started with some guy getting stopped by the filth, fraudulently setting him up for a traffic stop and giving him an illegal ticket, trying to ruin his business, treating the guy like shit. Only he gets back into his car, takes a hunting rifle and blows one of the two copper's heads open, splattering his brains everywhere leaving him with just half a head, and forcing the driver pig off the road. Walks up to him trying to crawl away. Cop says 'I think my leg's broken' pleading for help, only for the guy they abused to grab his broken leg and wrench it, breaking it again in two places. Twist-SNAP!-twist-CRACK! *pig shrieks in agony*

Guy then says 'know what I do with pigs who don't stop squealing? I make them be quiet' before knifing the guy in the spine to paralyze him, putting him back in the pig car with the other pig, the one that just had his skull blown in half, and takes out a can of petrol, pouring it all over him, whilst the copper pleads for his life, saying he can make that ticket go away. Guy they abused just tucks the speeding ticket into the copper's pocket and says 'or I can make you go away', lights a cigarette and flicks the match onto the living pig, leaving him screaming as he burns to death, whilst the driver they stopped walks away and gets back into his car.

Horror? hardly. Thats music to my bloody ears that is. I'd SO love to burn a pig alive like that. Maybe saw the top of their skull open, lift it off and sprinkle bleach all over their exposed brain and leave them to burn. Hopefully they'd survive, hideously brain-damaged and live the rest of their life in a half-existence of pure torture :P

Hardly a horror movie so far, this is fucking golden :autism: its a comedy, not a horror :D

I persuaded Kayleigh to do a speed test - 100Mb/s download and only 40Mb/s upload.
It's FTTN here. The node as far as I can determine is just on the corner outside the bottle shop, so we're the closest residence to it as far as the crow flies but I'm not sure which way the copper cable runs. I'm waiting for a neighbour to get it and report their speeds before I decide to get it or not.
Yeah, those cables probably are laid as the road goes.

The best thing for the lawn and the bees during the winter is to leave the leaves on the grass. I run the mower over mine to mulch it up and then leave it there over winter.

Currently thinking that I hope I don't end up having to leave the house today. I don't another stay at home day until the end of the month.

Yep, unless you have a Magnolia tree...and a hill.

Magnolia leaves are a special type of fun when they start to break down after the first light snow...the hill just adds to the fun factor.

This is also why you should avoid taking the trash down the hill on that side of the house.

Don't ask me how I know this.

I actually don't know on that, I think some insects/ground animals use them as shelter in the winter...didn't know about bees.

The moles & shrews around here seem to have a blast burrowing in them though...and I find salamanders hiding in them quite a lot.

How does leaving leaves on the grass help the bees?

There are so many different kinds of bees, both hive builders and underground dwellers, most of which are beneficial in some way, that this question may have a convoluted set of conflicting answers.

Also do not forget the many ground dwellers who are not actually bees, but wasps or hornets, commonly mistaken for bees due to peoples'  ignorance.

For hive builders, the availability of late season, easy to scavenge products for their continued "work" is an advantage.
One point about ground dwelling bees and wasps is that they are all fierce competitors, mostly either carnivorous or omnivorous,  this also includes ants, and invade each other's homes in search of eggs and larvae almost constantly.
One way of defeating the enemy's efforts is to make many entrances (and exits) to the underground nesting sites with a few being simply decoys in the case of bees. Preparing for the wintering over for the future of the nest, as they aid the young in pupating, the benefit of close resources during that time is undeniably a   treasure.

Not sure how much the purely vegetarian nectar eaters are helped, other than raw materials for nest building and sealing at easy hand.

Yep, I have watched a lot of Discovery Channel and Nature shows. I still wonder how they get those TINY cameras into just right place to get all those shots of the life of these amazing animals.

That cannot be a common thing at all, for films or shows to be from the transition period between black and white, and color film, and I should think it even less common for them to be filmed in B&W and then the same series turned over to being rendered in color.

Ooh! The Space Family Robinson! I watched that avidly when I was a kid, all for anything with an off-world setting. It wasn't near as intelligent as star Trek though. :(. I recall rolling about with laughter when they encountered a silocone based lifeform. and it turned out to look like a slithering lump of metal.

It was rather common in that era. Many were actually filmed in color all along, but distributed in B&W because it was cheaper and not many people had color TV's, they were still too expensive.

Color TV's got less expensive...everyone ran out and finally got one...and then we had color.

There was at least one Si-based life form on star trek too (TOS, the horta, I think the episode might have been 'devil in the dark'

Although how practical an actual silicon-based life-form would be is at best, debatable, since silicon cannot form anything close to the variety of bonds carbon does, and the stabilities of multiple bonds including silicon atoms is quite different (a lot weaker for silicon compounds involving double or triple bonds, which are a lot less stable than a Si-Si bond.

Actually, I suppose what with neural nets, quantum computers and the humble electronic virus, we could be verging on creating Si-based life?  Or maybe it's already evolved from the primordial soup we've obligingly provided?  Hey! Didn't Ian Gibson write a novel in which Papa Legba had incarnated within the internet? (albeit a future development of the same) ... or so I seem to vaguely remember, from my SF reading, back in the eighties.

Your making me think of meat now raxy.

More specifically your making me CRAVE meat, now you reminded me of the 4 packs of steaks in the fridge (granted they have atm to share space with a bottle of ammonia, but its tightly sealed and doesn't get into the grub)

Wondering what might be doable with fillet, rump and sirloin of beef steaks that could be contrived to involve mozzarella. Anybody got any ideas?

Plan for the steaks themselves is my special fly agaric, black and pink peppercorns, szechuan pepper, cubeb, soy sauce, peppery boletus mushroom, worcestershire sauce, chilli peppers (hotter the better...lol the way I do my steaks, its enough to need the windows opening to prevent fits of coughing if standing in the kitchen as they cook due to the fumes, especially when I pour tabasco (the habanero extra hot one) sauce over the steaks after marinading them, working in my spice paste to cross-hatched cuts in the surface of the meat, and as they sear in the pan, pouring over a spoonful of tabasco. The fumes that come off that when it vaporizes, plus the chili pepper and the peppery boletus is..well...it kinda borders on corrosive :autism:

Makes one sweat, and eyes and nose stream whilst eating them, but doesn't half taste damn good.

(not that if someone acted that way I'd be above rubbing her neurotypicality in her face, after her turning into a total bitch on finding out that I'm autie; i mean)

Screw winding up miserable due to getting involved with some shallow, vacuous NT airhead.

Thanks

Wishing I wasn't rejected so much. I had a chance with a girl on OkCupid, yet when I said I was autistic the communication went cold.

I wouldn't say anything that early on in the game.

Most people don't realize autism is a spectrum...99% will think of the worst case they know. 

I didn't get an official label until after I was married...until then I used to tell my dates I was just "different".

They either dealt with it and found it sometimes amusing or frustrating, or they moved on.

75% were just looking to go on a date and have fun, 15% turned out to be guys with more issues than a barrel of monkeys, 10% actually wanted to get to know and understand me.

Save the disclosure for the 10%, they're the ones that matter.

Thinking I should recommend the book I'm currently reading.  The Woman Who Smashed Codes.  It's partly biographical, partly the history of the NSA and cryptography in America.  Makes a simpler explanation of cryptography than Enigma did.

Oh, wait.  I just did.

I really hope that some of you get the chance to experience the full SUPERMOON as I have been since it arose.

From an earlier memory:
The moon is more than sixty thousand miles closer to the earth than average, tonight.
It may appear up to twelve percent larger than normal.
The full moon will appear about thirty three percent brighter than normal (wait, I am a photographer - light follows an inverse square relationship to distance - that does not add up.  But WTF, they want people to go out and look at the moon.) I have assume that I do not know all there is to know about reflective lighting - I still want to call bullshit somewhere, on that brightness thing.
Tides may be up to fifteen percent higher than normal.  (again - hydrodynamics fooling my understanding?)

Forget all that nonsense!

GO out and look at the moon tonight!!!

Go out and look at the moon!!

It is definitely brighter than a normal full moon. Larger is more difficult to judge, as it seems to change "apparent size" as it crosses over from horizon to horizon.

I understand that many of my "friends" here have not yet seen the moon tonight.  Check it out today if you can.

I get that it reaches this perigee every year, but it is rarely full when this happens.

GO out and look at the moon!!

I had to drive to the airport at 5am this morning and it was still full night with the moon high in the sky, but it felt way brighter than usual. Everything was covered in snow and frost and I'm sure that contributed too. Don't know about the numbers and percentages, but it was good.

It's hazy and overcast where I am right now, but it's good that I went out when I did, because it was just in time to see it through a gap in the fast-moving clouds. Now it's spitting down rain and the only light on the clouds is the city pollution. For a little while there you could see layers, like a tunnel through to the clear sky. I wonder what that looked like from a plane.


Made me think of my kin too.

Because he is a knob who keeps calling me a bigot. I felt like farting, so a chose the most applicable face in which to do it. And because he accuses me, more particularly, of bigotry, whilst himself being bigoted against me, and yet without naming whatever it is that apparently makes me a bigot.

Calling somebody a bigot for a 'reason' such as 'you are a bigot because you are  bigoted (without actually specifying what the alleged bigot is bigoted ABOUT) is just offensive, as opposed to justification of the charge of bigotry; so, if he is free to dismiss everything I say, because of things that have no relevance to whatever it is I might be saying at the time, for no reason other than to have done so, I felt like showing him the same as he first shows me, for  as little provocation.

Why? in the hope that he will realize quite how stupid he looks in doing exactly something as petty as I did above. I need not persist in it, now the reason has been explained (and yes, it was quite deliberately stupid and sans provocation in this particular location and time). The point has been made. Simply acting towards him as he has towards me, and (although you posted first, I fell asleep part way through a boring film on TV, so you beat me to posting) so, perhaps he'll realize quite how petty he himself has been of late towards me, and how pointless it is to do so.

This is simply not true. You've been "in my face" several times without any provocation whatsoever from me, long before I called you anything. You started the name-calling, Lestat, and I had literally no idea why. I still don't.

And when something starts circling the toilet, its a fair bet to guess it might, might, maybe just be a greasy hunk of turd. You must have gotten lucky and not gotten flushed, what, did a rat crawl up from the U-bend during a suicide attempt and block your passage?

And anything I did start, IF I did, it'll be because I've seen how you've turned into a complete and utter wank stain over the past few months or so, and end up as a degenerate crust of fungus-infested spunk.

I didn't have any problem with you when I joined I2. I didn't for a long time after. It was after you started becoming a hypocritical, jumped up, janus-faced fascist prick with an ego equal to the inverse square of your dick in proportion. If you had stood up for yourself honorably, and you didn't behave the way you do, I might well have backed you, at least, if I see truth.

I do that. I tell things as I see them. If a friend is full of shit, then I'll say so.

No. Rather, my point was, I find it most disturbing it happened in the first place, especially given your particular character. Your not somebody who is a backstabber, snake etc., most if not all here see you as trustworthy, as do I. Its just creepy that it ever did happen you were made to feel ill at ease for the reasons you did. That the sword of Damocles could have been hanging above your head; it bodes ill, in general, on principle.

It is not my wish to draw you into conflict, let me have that on record, thats the last thing I'd wish on you, especially given such invites those involved to besmirch their character. I would as soon you remain (not that I doubt it), one of those we can all trust to be impartial.

It was the threat to impartiality that I found alarming. Whilst of course, yes I find you admirable as a person, just the sort I'd happily take a seat with and get in a few rounds of drinks, I would have thought, and said, the same of anybody in your position of equal strength of character and clean record as far as shitstirring goes. Don't take offense at this-'but that isn't personal, its business'

You are a cleanskin, so to speak. And one in a position of power. That is a good thing for us all.

That the character in question is attached to you, 'raxy, thats just a bonus :)

Is my position and point now clarified adequately for you 'raxy?

In my civ III game..space is becoming somewhat at a premium.

Its looking like the koreans are going to have to be wiped out.

I remember there being quite a lot more warring in the first two games in the series. Theres a lot more emphasis put on resources in this, as well as territorial bounds. Since it is resources that are needed, diplomacy is not going to be of use, just awaiting the research into gunpowder going to completion, by then, since whilst they have a lot of bronze/iron age military, pikemen, archers, cavalry on horseback.

I am going to give them a bit of an unwelcome surprise on their part, not particularly subtle, just negotiate for right of passage after building fortifications in place of certain roads to prevent them expanding, starve them to bleed them dry and browbeat them into giving tribute to further that aim, before wiping them out when they get sick of war so many times they have appeased my own civilization with everything they have to give, once I am done, stab them in the back and extirpate them for land and resources.

My personal theory is that when you attacked me the first time, you simply picked the wrong person. You meant someone else but you misread. You've done this a few times here. Why that is I can't say. Maybe you were high.

Admitting your mistake was never going to happen--it's not what you do--and now it's so many lies that you just soldier on. I'll admit that it fits with the general creepiness of your character but please, try to stay away from the more obvious lies.

I know it's a part of history for the dance clubs in the area, but I can't get over the fact that a certain one was founded in extremely bad spirit.
Sure I go to this group's classes today but I'm not sure if anyone there is aware of the group's true history (even the dance teacher herself).
When I see old pictures on the FB reunion page taken less than 12 months after the "revolt" I don't see smiling/laughing people enjoying everyone's company, I see smugness and people revelling in the hurt they caused.

Well, I suggest you try, charlotte quin. If a group was founded by evil people, but the innate purpose of the group is not harmful (such as a dance club), and the evil which spawned it, is dispelled, and located in the past, ignore it. The ghosts of the past should be laid to rest in such instances, if nobody even knows of the history, let alone practices whatever unpleasantness they were practicing when the ass-clowns were running the circus, so to speak, then the present members cannot be held responsible for the acts of their predecessors, any more than I or you could be held responsible if our distant ancestors proved to be vikings who conceived our forefathers by rape and pillage It is the responsibility of those who DID the bad things, not those who simply use a place intended for positive activity for that purpose, when some of its previous inhabitants proved to be assholes. You bear no guilt, unless you yourself participated in, or could have stopped it and did not act to do so. Although in the last case, IMO the guilt born is less than that of the architects of the ill-deed(s). And if you tried, and failed after doing your best, or left a bunch of scumbags to torment other scumbags then you bear no guilt, and the graves of old sins need  not be disinterred. The ghosts of the past should, in some cases, remain just that.

Just try to enjoy yourself, and do as you would be done by. In vanishingly few and far between sets of circumstances could the above two principles together equate to wronging others. And unless the 'as you would be done by' includes sadomasochism, etc. then do unto others as thou wouldst be done unto, take things easy and try have a good time is a good path to walk in life. And try to recognize that even the best of us, cannot accomplish having the best outcome of a situation occur in all things. We are human, and humans are fallible. You can't take the poison out of a snake in the grass, the best you can do is to warn others there is a serpent in their midst and point out its position.

And just because a PLACE has even the worst of histories, it does not mean that it must remain a place of evildoing. Take Auschwitz for example. Once a place of torture and murder of the worst kinds, doubtless including many of our own sub-species, now the place is a memorial. That doesn't mean the jews who go there now, bear the guilt of the nazis who comitted the atrocities. A place itself is just that, it cannot commit an act, only living beings can commit a deliberate act, wrong, right, benign or vile.

CQ, thats the best I can offer, at least, without knowing the specific history and current situation. But it is offered in the spirit of support, and in the hope of providing comfort. Don't eat yourself up inside over what others have done in the past.

My own thoughts...I now know what to get my old man for xmas. At least one big bottle of good dark rum. My uncle, is easy to get for. Or rather, make for. I'd have included some booze but recently, probably as a result of some relatively recently DX'd Wegener's granulomatosis, he's on various meds, and I don't want to risk harming him, although I'll certainly do a lot of digging into Wegener's, more reading than I know already on methotrexate, etc., and he had to go into hospital just a few days ago after a stroke (he's had multiple TIAs, not sure about this one, it may well have been more major than 'just' a transient infarct) I've not seen him since, so if I get him  any booze, and I won't, without much reading to make sure I know potential consequences, and if I do, I'll tell him he's free to give it away to others, or return it to the store for the money, and that I'll get him something else.

He IS easy to please in one way though. Every year, I make him a big batch of homemade ginger-spiced oat flapjacks, because this guy has an appetite big enough for the two of us put together, with room left over, even after my old man joins the xmas get together. My uncle has a stomach that can eat for the three of us and then for itself. Before coming back for seconds. And he LOVES flapjacks. I've never had a complaint yet.  In fact I reckon NOT making a batch of xmas flapjacks could be grounds for complaint :P

Its as easy to please him that way as it is to ensure a tank of piranha fish are satisfied. (although I think he'd probably object if I tried to feed him raw, semi-living fish, or human bodyparts. Probably. Certainly the raw, dying fish complete with guts. Might get away with a 'next year, try something different' if I brought him a rack of honey-roast people-ribs though :green:

I reckon in the next life, he'll get reincarnated as a starfish, since they are capable of quite literally everting their stomach through their mouths to eat  :P (they use their tube-feet on the arms to wrench apart bivalve mollusks, at least in many cases, although some eat coral, such as the nasty little sucker called the crown of thorns, which devastates coral reefs in plague proportions sometimes, and to boot, has pretty few and far between candidates by way of predator species due to its having about a foot-wide central disc body covered, as are the tops of the arms in viciously sharp spines, coated in some pretty seriously nasty venom)

Not the sort of thing that strikes one as an ideal breakfast. But I bet he'd love the whole 'temporarily puke out your stomach in order to get it to the food faster' gig. (that said, I've tried oysters, and for all some people rave about them, eating a deceased loogie (I refuse outright to do what some do to the poor creatures, and swallow them alive, after severing their adductor muscle, again, whilst they are alive [the muscle bivalves like clams, oysters, razor-shells etc. use to open and shut their shells), even in such primitive creatures as crustaceans, brutally injuring a creature and then swallowing it alive disgusts me.

They may, or may not be capable neurologically of perceiving 'pain', as opposed to reflexive escape due to nociceptive stimulus, but given the moral consequences of being wrong and assuming they cannot, I can only take the view that the only right way to use them for food, is to at least grant them a death designed to minimize suffering if they are capable of it, just in case, same goes with things like lobster, I couldn't boil one alive, and stand there listening to it scream. It might be reflexive, it might not. But if it isn't, then that is brutality of a most abhorrent kind being meted out to a living creature. And, whilst I eat meat, I sure as shit don't keep a cow around in the garden, go out and slice a fucking steak off it and burn the wound shut to keep it from bleeding out before I can eat the rest. The question is often asked 'why should we stun them electrically' (there is a device available for electrically shocking a lobster senseless before its cooked, available commercially, called 'crustastun'), but rather, why should we not. The only answer I could think of someone could rationally give is money spent on the device. But at what price can the right to potentially torture an animal be bought? IMO, there is not one payable which justifies it, even if its a maybe. Only thing to do is assume that such treatment IS barbaric and act accordingly when they are to be eaten. I'm willing to go so far as to assume a single-celled organism like an amoeba cannot suffer, but you'd not get me inflicting such treatment on even such an organism as a jellyfish, with a distributed nerve-net in lieu of a traditional brain, since the price of getting the facts wrong, is both extreme and to be paid by the creature.

(the whole uncle reincarnated as a starfish mental image kinda sent me on a bit of a mental tangent) I'm odd like that. Who'da thunk it, a dyed in the wool spazz being odd (usually its the NTs that are fucking weird buggers, I'm otherwise perfectly normal :lol1:)

CQ-why not go for a mohawk? that way you could donate the spare to charity, and keep a stylish hairdo too?

Seen one on someone once, where she had a really long mohawk, and had the rest cut just long enough to allow it to be dyed in leopard-spots, and had something similar done with her 'main' hair too. Was really fucking neat. I presume it took quite a lot of work to do, especially the bi-colored leopard spot rings, dark, light dark, or the other way round, I forget, but the look was stunning.

Also thinking 'fucking satan, that was a close one', just went into the bathroom to grab a bottle of gaviscon, and accidentally grabbed a squeezy plastic bottle at first, until I put it back quicktime and got a glass one. Because I was to take several large gulps of gaviscon to calm my stomach acidity, whilst had I drank from the OTHER bottle...that would have been VERY ugly. It was  a bottle of strong senna, that while she was alive (well obviously carcasses don't take that, or anything else, other than perhaps a penny for the ferryman :P) she had to take to shit. That would have wrought havoc, had someone with an already iffy set of innards chugged it down like it were gaviscon, given its usually measured out in 5-10ml measurements (the senna), as its a powerful irritant type laxative. I'd have been shitting so hard I'd have been able to tickle my prostate with my tongue, from the INSIDE. And I want nothingwhatsoever of me to in any way resemble donald trump :autism:

It'd not have been very pretty thats for sure. Thankfully I got one of the many bottles I have of gaviscon, and relief, instead of brewing up a torrent  of explosively-propelled semidigested cherry-and-almond-cake, later to be fired with a range of at least 5-10 meters or so if I bent over and spread 'em. Longer still if I pictured the target to be a policeman's helmet. (lol, if ever I really, really need to drop a reluctant turd, or take a piss and said piss fight to stay in, I just picture  a copper's face and/or helmet/uniform, and near guaranteed, it'll come flying out like a demon fleeing from the blackest pits of hell chasing a damned soul.)

Also thinking 'fucking satan, that was a close one', just went into the bathroom to grab a bottle of gaviscon, and accidentally grabbed a squeezy plastic bottle at first, until I put it back quicktime and got a glass one.

That went well. Fallout tactics, had a guy with a rifle rushing my three squad members, had two of them lay down suppressing fire with hunting rifles, with a brief break for one of them when an attack dog rushed up from the side, so quickly had him pull out an uzi submachinegun and end that dog with a burst of 9mm rounds, before switching to his rifle again, keep the shooter pinned down, whilst the third team member snuck up behind him, pulled her MP5 SMG and put two bursts into him at near point blank range, result, no more annoying sniper fire, and recovery of a hunting rifle I can sell later, plus a pair of browning-high power semi-auto pistols (although they have a three-round burst option also), which are a decent improvement on the beretta pistols the squad was using, but sold (they still kept a pair of uzis and a pair of MP5 SMGs for those close-in moments where things turn nasty. Damn did that sniper ever get a nasty surprise, one minute he was taunting and shouting abuse at the two of my riflemen pinning him into a corner, the next the other trooper on stealth mode had crept up behind him and emptied half an MP5 mag into him. Come to think of it though next time at ranges like kassi (yes, named after THAT kassi, and made to look as hot as possible, as a bit of a tribute to a certain somebody:autism:) was firing at, might just switch to aimed shot and use a .45 to put one round right into the enemy soldier's eyesockets, since when someone is lying down prone they are a LOT easier to hit, even a modest shooter has an 80-90% chance of hitting them when lying down. Just to conserve ammo rather than empying half a clip into somebody, despite the way doing that makes damn sure the little fucker isn't ever going to get another shot off. Because my squad is going through 9mm rounds like I go through bottles of beer. Only quicker. Using tactics like luring the buggers out of cover, giving chase, only to round the corner and fine one squaddie with an SMG or high-powered pistol with a 3-round burst option, and the other with either a pump-action or double-barreled shotgun,, bad guy turns the corner and immediately gets a full burst of SMG fire and both barrels of a shotgun targeted at the groin and the head. The result is 99.99% of the time, one bad-guy never getting up again. Mainly because his head is no longer either attached to his shoulders, or finished from busily dripping down in pieces from the nearest wall. A very effective tactic indeed. Or at worst, even an aimed hunting rifle shot right through the eyes. Effective, but very, very messy.

Those damn attack dogs are annoying though. One round tends always to off the buggers, but they can't half get up in close quickly.


And SWEET, I was sure I would miss family guy/american dad, but on the +1 ITV2 channel family guy is still on, so american dad is yet to come. Very nice, I got to watch species III AND family guy.

*brings his dressing robe for the PR in case shes cold too*, same applies. Can't have her royal sweetieness get chilly now can we? (that doesn't need an answer, I already know it :P)

Thinking I'ma grab a tiramisu family size tub and scoff the lot while I go back to my fallout tactics game.

Maybe take a break later to run naked from door to door swearing in the middle of the night :LOL1: but only if I can be arsed (in both senses of the word) if not then I'll take my break with duke nukem 3d atomic edition, that I downloaded a pirate edition of with a shitload of expansion packs, some of them I haven't even played yet.

Twunting bollocks, I'd already scoffed the tiramisu. So I might have a can of chilled rice pudding later (I never, ever cook it, just put it in the fridge until its nice and cold, or open it, stick a spoon in it so I can cut the can from round it with cleaned up bolt-cutters etc. and then eat it as a frozen rice pudding ice cream on a metal stick, without any of that coarse, vertical-grained godawful lolly-stick wood. Fuck I hate that shit. Can't touch it without gloves at least, although of course I use a new pair of surgical gloves for that, not my thick rubber elbow length ones, but thats just because of where those gloves have been. And where those have been you really do not want to eat anything that has come near them...I'd sooner not have a cyanide-flavoured rice pudding-pop :P

At once a bit shook up, thinking back, after some exchange with FWM, about things that went on somewhere, quite some time ago. Bad things, really, really bad, dark things.

And at the same time delighted twice over. Once, because of both my recent glassware shopping, and twice because QV just informed me that one of my posts made the PR laugh:) Just the sort of 'pour me a shot of warm up my soul and make it a double' I needed after the reminder of those happenings.

Post by: Lestat on January 16, 2018, 12:15:25 PM
I'm just glad the place was knocked down. Maybe, if a thing is bound in a place (the place was abandoned as living quarters for anyone, although it was obviously a hurried leaving, since I'd managed, before the calling upon the Arch Vile, to loot plenty of stuff from there, fuck someone in there, (an Ex GF, and an NT one at that, someone I couldn't stand either, coincidentally...or not...I wonder..some say there is such a thing as sexual magick, or at least a kind of energy in it. And that was nothing like me, to fuck her, I don't DO casual sex. If I'm with somebody, if I love somebody, I am a very, very VERY intense person, both as loyal friend and as lover. If I see somebody as being worth being with at ALL, then they are worth my giving every last little scrap of my being to.

I am just glad you never set foot in that place. At least, if you did, only when it was a clean place, not physically clean, there were everything from kid's toys, to baby's rattles and teddy bears to broken guitar IIRC, graffiti, a mattress that was used for fucking that ex that probably saw a few fuckings by fuck knows who fucking fuck only knows who else, to to the valium I looted and the at least £25-30 worth of good hash. A little dried out, but still, once a lighter was put to it, then it softened up and crumbled nicely into a mix ready to pack a bong with :D

There were rooms with used needles on the floor, those rooms were ignored after searching carefully, with a long stick, through the larger detritus to see if there was anything, like the bits of money found etc. and of course, having the pipes and what I could get of the window leading by bricking the windows from the inside (place had like 4-5 floors, really roomy, would even have, with a power supply for the hotplate etc. a generator or something, and suitable transformer, made a place for fly-by-night clandestine chemistry cooking for a meth cook or somebody engaged in that sort of business, quite a decent place, if converted a bit. )

Or at least it would have before it got its..history. The sort of history you don't read on the history channel on TV, and before it got touched by the Arch Vile, the thing that feeds on shrieking and writhing in agony, drowning in pus, and vomits out maggoty mouthed tainted words from the tongues of innocents who remain unaware of It having spoken using them.

I don't think anybody would want to use it for anything after that, indeed it wasn't long after the binding rituals were all done ASAP there by as many folk interested in both wicca and the left-handed paths, nobody, no matter how they leaned in what direction in that sense, liked that place.

IMO you wouldn't have to be told, you'd just run like hell if you are sensitive to that kinda stuff. You'd turn around and without a word, run like all fucking hell was nipping at your heels. And that was after the binding.  Before....it was the sort of place that overnight, went from a drinking and weed smoking den for me and my mates to somewhere you'd cross the road to avoid being close to, day or night. And if anybody was smoking there, it was somebody's soul, roasting on the devil's own BBQ grill, liberally seasoned with sulfur. And anybody drinking, it'd be from a rusted chalice filled with blood. The kind of fellow who'd make Aleister Crowley crap his pants and start saying hail mary-s.

And definitely not anybody on my xmas or go for a drink-with shortlist. And certainly not a cup I'd sup from with that crawling, greasy, oily faceless screaming horror of a thousand faces.

Shit, that thing could have come from any H.P Lovecraft book. Something Lovecraft's cat sicked up after eating a particularly 'off' rotting bird.

I know it sounds trite, but it really did have an 'other'ness to it, a wrongness, a sickening, slimy, seeping wrongness, an atrocity for it to simply BE. Like....C'thulhu-ness, if you get the idea, the sort of, scale of, kind of, feeling of foulness from somewhere else. Not hell...I don't even believe in the judaeo-xtian 'satan' or devil.

IMO the abrahamic faiths are just bastardizations of one or more presumable original faiths, and each other. Just another three similar, monotheistic religions deriving from one another and presumably from one or a coagulation of originating creeds of the polytheistic middle east.

So, no, I wouldn't, other than flippantly, refer to the Arch-Vile as 'hell spawn', but more..from somewhere else. And not somewhere people want to, or ought to be. and not a place they wouldn't regret being in if they ever went there. And sure as shit stinks not somewhere I'm going to be booking plane tickets to for a summer holiday.

If you mean that hurriedly abandoned mansion, I don't know if anyone died IN there, ever.

Its more that things, dark things, black things, and very black things at that, were done in there by yours truly, that shouldn't have been attempted by anybody, ever, and not long after, the intended target of the infernal practices in question died of cancer, a very short time after. And after THAT, people that had no idea of the pretty damn horrible things done in there, even if magick doesn't and never has or will exist in any universe in any multiverse, ever, let alone this one. They were still pretty hideous; but said people had all that weird fucking shit happen around, to and creepiest of all, what seemed to be THROUGH them but not BY THEM. With no more knowledge or control over them than a blown up balloon would have of flying through the air when the mouthpiece was let go of.

And a young girl growling like she did in that simultaneous deep bass quiet roar of something that was patterened at least, after human male speech, and smooth, lilting, sinister not feminine but mechanical, computerized laughter-voice with just a hint of cackling under the surface.....god damn...and the things that she, or her body SAID....fucking hell that creeped the shit out of everybody, including other people who had bollocks all idea of the things done in there, or the things called upon there, anyone that heard it looked like their underwear just got shit in, and not by the people wearing those pairs of underwear either.



What am I thinking now......hm...half 'jesus fucking christ forgive me, and holy fucking fuck that was some sinister shit, worse than I've ever seen in any horror movie by a long shot, and I love horror flicks' and half 'well bugger me if this isn't another crate of something from china that I am really looking forward to opening, knowing that at least there isn't anything that might well eat souls for breakfast and wash them down with human blood and pick the teeth sprouting from its eyeless, pus-weeping black-fire-filled-shriveled-sockets with toothpicks carved from the bones of babies and kittens.'

CQ-is that actually you in your avatar, or is it a mannequin? if thats you, then you do a truly masterful (or mistress-ful, rather) impression of a mannequin-look for that pic. If thats you in the real live flesh then you ought to be rather proud of how uncannily mannequinesque you manage to make yourself look there)

(playing fallout-tactics, squad arrived recently in brotherhood of steel bunker beta, and immediately set about sneaking around and thieving various items, such as ammunition, weapons and most importantly healing items, specifically a LOT of the scribes and elders are carrying 2 or 3 super-stimpaks, a rapid acting, very potent and effective healing medication)

Had my player-character, a sniper/stealth oriented character,  'kassi' just strip off her armor to increase, temporarily, whilst sneaking behind the base quartermaster who sells supplies to those with enough money to pay begin to busily relieve him of his personal possessions....some super-stimpaks and some small energy cells [a type of ammunition used to fuel many energy weapons, plus certain melee/unarmed weapons such as power fists and rippers [the former being basically an armored metal gauntlet with spikes on it and carrying an electrical charge, an unarmed weapon, in that the fighting is just the same as unarmed melee, only wearing vicious electrically charged spiked metal plated gloves with a strong tendency to make a squishy mess of enemies with just a punch or two, if they get up close, whilst the ripper is an 'armed melee' class weapon that is a long knife/shortsword-styled ultrasound-transducer transmitting high energy ultrasound vibration to the powered chainsaw-type big fucking teeth-equipped chainblade weapon that as the name suggests, whilst up close and personal only, without the ability to fire at a ranged target, as a sidearm for if an enemy closes in for melee, or to get in better range to fire something of moderate range like a shotgun, then they made a big mistake, as its fast to use, and rips straight through armor and whoever or whatever is wearing it like a hot knife through butter. Half shortsword vibroblade and half chainsaw, all tear your opponent to tiny little pieces of something that used to be meat. Close quarters only but horrifically damaging, and with a targeted strike that causes a critical hit then the result is likely to be either crippling of the limb/bodypart, of if to the eyes then instant out and out lethality, carving the wouldbe shooter like an xmas turkey. And when sneaking up on an enemy unawares from behind, then its one of the deadliest close-range weapons in the game. IIRC the only more lethal hand-to-hand weapon is a turbocharged cattleprod when set to 'overload' [uses up a full half of the power cell reserve in a single blow, but you only NEED one, even when the enemy knows your there and is charging towards you. Result of that is generally the hapless target exploding after the massive electric charge zaps them back into the last ice age, in lots of little pieces]

So for closeup, two of my 4-trooper squad are packing rippers and one of them, the best at up close and personal is carrying the squad cattle-prod person-exploder.

Weird thing....trooper 'kassi' ransacked the base quartermaster for his healing items and his small energy cells for her ripper...thats all she saw on the guy.

Then in comes another guy who is ALMOST experienced enough to gain another experience level, the squad medic 'stitch' to earn a little experience through a quick spot of thievery...and whilst he was about to pinch the rest of the small energy-cells, from seemingly out of nowhere in the QM's inventory to be looted from turns up a laser pistol. Not exactly much use for most of the squad, since currently only one of the four squaddies is skilled with energy weapons of the high-tech sort, he already HAS a laser pistol (unlike the rest of alpha-base, which USED to have laser pistols, at least until they were swiped, unloaded and sold back to the base quartermaster there, along with HIS own laser pistol :LOL:)

But where this one just came from I do not know....he wasn't holding it, since one trooper has a 'perk', an ingame earned talent with enough experience level-ups, that allows them to spot and assay the exact health of any non-player-character or enemy along with the weapon they are currently wielding, and the guy is packing a power-fist not a laser pistol. 'Kassi' went through his stuff and it wasn't there, then 'stitch' did, and it just appeared out of nowhere. Not complaining, since the medic guy is going to whip his armor off and then moonlight as a thief for a moment, so he can take the pistol and the remaining small energy cells and sell the emptied pistol back to the guy he nicked it from *grins*

Thinking that it is the evil, dreaded morning approaching, so its time for Lestat to go to sofa...ahem...bed.

Also, after reading an article...'how odd'...just read that apparently, in a veritable world of venomous insects, arachnids etc. that there has been discovered the very first known venomous crustaceans.

Previously it was thought there simply had never evolved any crustacean critter, alive in this day and age that could even be examined, as such, that was. Now, they've found some. Remipedia (remipedes), free-swimming, blind, long segmented crustacean creatures with an active venom delivery apparatus and what looks like it might well be some hefty ammunition loaded, with some parts of the venom based on totally unique, remipede-specific venom peptides, whilst others shared some similarity with stonus-toxin, one of the deadly (to humans unfortunate to tread on one if they are unlucky [debatable as to whether or not it would be unlucky for a stonefish sting to quickly off somebody treading on one, for the person, as stonefish stings are notorious for both potency of their venom and the incredible, agonizing pain brought on as a result of a sting.)

Remipedes aren't likely to be something to worry about, since they won't ever start swarming out of their habitats and attacking people, short of a horror movie with a very creative plot writer, these are blind dwellers of undersea cave systems, but it has been called into question whether sudden, unexplained deaths of cave divers at times may not have been the result of a bite from one or other species of Remipedia. If there is enough similarity in action to STX from stonefish, then the pain could well be so severe as to completely craze and disorient a diver and result in them never being able to be gotten out of the cave system, as if undersea cave diving wasn't already dangerous for a place to dive, stonefish pack a nasty collection of cardiotoxins, haemotoxic principles and venom components which cause pain so excruciating that people who do not die have been known to beg for death after being stung within the glands connected to their arsenal of stout, extremely sharp hollow poisonous spines, which inject venom should the creature be stepped on, acting like syringes and needles loaded with the venom of the stonefish, a collection of several species of fish in the genus Synanceia, which are, as the name 'stone fish' suggests, are extremely well-camouflaged and which look like squat, bloated, fat and once you actually know one is there, such as in a tank of fish, very ugly indeed lumps of seaweed-encrusted rocks, although once the spines are removed after being caught and killed, the meat is edible as the venom is proteinaceous in nature (and indeed the field-treatment for stonefish stings, along with those of other venomous fish such as weever-fish, some catfish species, scorpion- and toadfishes, stingrays etc. is to immerse the stung part of the body in not boiling, but very hot, as hot as the victim can tolerate, water, this serving to assist in thermal denaturation of their proteinaceous toxin fractions,) and like other venomous fish it is venomous, not poisonous, meaning once the venom itself has been subjected to the heat of cooking when preparing such a fish for the table, it is neutralized and broken down by the heat, just like the proteins in a steak, a pork chop, a piece of fried fish etc. are denatured and the meat rendered from raw dead critter to tasty food.

Although somehow, I don't see remipedes becoming flavor of the month in any restaurant any time soon due to their relative obscurity compared to the crustacea we know well and love to eat such as crab, lobster, shrimp, prawns etc....but could this solve some otherwise totally unexplained sudden-deaths in marine cave-divers? could it have been one of the Remipedia that got in and nipped them one? as yet that is unknown, with the creatures themselves only being discovered as venomous within a few years at most.

Quite fascinating reading...a truly venomous, as opposed to poisonous to eat, crustacean family, with both venom components completely unique within Remipedia, and some with sequence homology to stonefish venoms....a fish and a decapod, evolutionary separated by a long way, and isolated in habitat, sharing similar venom components. Fascinating. I've never actually SEEN a remipede, other than pictures, it'd be fascinating to see one in action, in a tank environment, hunting, or just to see one of these unique creatures. *spock's voice* Fascinating, Jim' */spocks voice*

Hey maybe you could recycle the electron gun portion of the CRTs of the TVs for an emitter for a particle accelerator, electron linac or some other design, like a betatron.

I think the TVs are plasma, not CRT. They're very heavy, whatever they are.

Wondering about too many things to really be specific here.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on January 29, 2018, 09:23:18 PM
The CRT types are the ones with the big conical thick glass vacuum tube for a screen, with the electron gun set in the back, surrounded by a coil of copper wire. If it has a flat screen then its not a CRT. I've never taken apart a plasma screen, never have one of them to take  to bits.

I've often wondered about smashing the glass off one, or else melting a hole using concentrated hydrofluoric acid (NOT a way for someone who isn't a chemist and who knows the safety precautions to take with it. I've seen videos of what HF does to a chicken-leg piece of butcher-meat and compared to other acids it was hideous, looked all grey and diseased and necrotic even when the leg itself wasn't attached to a chicken, a dead piece of meat turned to greyish diseased looking slime, and it is AWFULLY toxic, since HF has several traits that are an ideal recipe put together to make for a damn nasty chemical, its a weak acid due to the incredinbly electronegative nature of fluorine, in fact it is THE most electronegative single element, and forms very strong bonds to other chemical elements, as a result there is a significant covalent element to the bonding in HF, and the hydrogen to fluorine bond's strength mean hydrofluoric acid doesn't dissociate into hydrogen ions and fluoride ions in solution to a great deal, meaning it isn't significantly dissociated in aqueous solution, and as such it can pass through intact skin and enter body tissues easily, and with conc. HF even a tiny amount of skin surface area coming into contact with it can be fatal, stuff penetrates skin, enters the body, burning from the inside as it goes, and also fluorine has a high affinity for calcium, forming insoluble calcium fluoride, CaF2, as it  leaches the calcium from bones and precipitates the calcium from the blood, as insoluble solids, plus causing a massive drop in serum calcium levels aside from the acid-burns and deep-penetration abilities, the subsequent profound hypocalcaemia causes a fatal heart attack. Meant to cause absolutely excruciatingly painful burns too. Any exposure means hospital trip, and you need to keep both injectable solution of and topical gel-based calcium gluconate right there on hand, and ideally also a solution to douse yourself in in case of emergency.)

It does have its uses though, such as an ability to melt/burn through or etch glass. (and breaking CRTs, one needs to be careful and wear eye protection since the inside is under vacuum and they implode violently)
 
I've often wondered though about releasing the vacuum in a CRT display and salvaging the electron gun, winding some powerful sextupole electromagnets and quadrupole magnets for strong-focusing and guidance, and of course, getting a turbomolecular pump, building the appropriate cryogenic systems, building and preparing a thick, tough hollow tube for the LINAC vacuum chamber and cool down the superconducting magnets and a set of roughing pumps to start the turbopump, of course, adding cryo-traps to stop stuff getting into the pumps and using the electron gun to build a small (well obviously, compared to the big bastards like SLAC operating at super-high energy that would be required, along with trans-national tunneling systems, but it'd just be fun to build a working one, or build a cyclotron for higher energy efficiency, although truth told I'd sooner have myself a proton accelerator than one designed for firing electron/positron beams, so I could investigate certain aspects of deuteron bombardment with certain elements and isotopes (deuterons are similar to protons, hydrogen ions, only in the form of heavy hydrogen nuclei , essentially a proton-neutron pair, and with an odd property that deuteron bombardment can it seems induce radioadioactivity in these elements, although I'm not sure how, and I'd definitely rather do some experimental work and figure it out for myself than just be given the answer.

Also thinking 'mmmm these are some GOOD donuts. Bought two well-stuffed boxes of krispy kreme, all full of a big fat variety grab-bag selection of different kinds. 24 donuts, selected from the majority of the kinds of the donuts sold by the store, would have been more,  but some people had cleaned out a few of the kinds, like the nutella stuffed ones. I did a fairly good job of cleaning out most of the rest and had somebody else not actually said 'hey leave some for me' I might have bought another box, if there were enough to fill a 12-count box of the buggers.

Raspberry cream, cookie-dough cream and sprinkles, raspberry and dark chocolate, dark chocolate cream filling and many many more different sorts.

Also, happened by chance to bump into the doctor who is my main assigned GP, said he plans to pay me a phonecall. I'm hoping its to give me the go-ahead finally on my memantine request, which he has agreed to support and has just basically been trying to cover his arse.

Hoping it means that nows the time, that I'll actually get to take a script over to a pharmacy and start picking some up, so I can start the work titrating it to get the maximum benefit vs minimum unwanted effects. (although I've a fair bit of experience starting and continuing memantine cycles so I more or less know both how it affects me with how much, how frequently and know what effects to expect from it with what dose and at what points in time when starting first after a while off it to expect what.

When I was in high school (about 1971) we had a bunch of those old TVs to play with and re-purpose.

I took two of them apart, salvaged what I needed and made a Theremin using a couple of old coffee can lids for the capacitive sensors. I got an "A" on my first semester grade.
My teacher helped keep me on track after I showed him my idea. He was a WWII Navy vet who could take any one of those old TVs and make a two way radio, all day long. Yes, they are designed as receivers, but to alter the frequencies at which the operated, then make them broadcast took a little ingenuity. He had that and much more.

DO you know what a Theremin is?

Wow, I honestly thought that one of us would get this pic figured out right away and we would all be as amazed as I am.

At this "guessing point" I am less inclined to reveal the identity than I was when I first posted the pic.


Hint: He never really did very well (in my opinion, as a person who grew up with someone in a wheel chair) acting from a wheel chair.

I actually paused my Netflix stream during a program and shot a phone pic of the paused TV screen, emailed it to myself, sized it way down and posted it as was.

Why the fuck are they ALWAYS stingy with the banana ones in every bloody brand I've ever seen of fancy properly flavoured multi-variety jellybeans. Only way to get enough of them is to buy them separately at places that stock each flavour. Those and the liquorice ones. Lucky if there are just a couple of either in a snack size pot.

YES!!!!

You have it. 
Circa 1960 about twenty years old and he still had HAIR!!!
The hair I knew would throw everyone off a bit. I really expected for it to be easy for some.
You are right. This is our beloved Sir Patrick Stewart.  Oh! Did you know he had been knighted?

My daughter recognizes people from the insanity of hearing a voice.
I am a photographer and I look at faces always as if I was about to photograph them. Age is no challenge. The structure of a face is the same. The eyes do not move.. The ears grow and the nose grows, but the topography does not change. 
It is the geography or the topography of a face that I recognize. For me it is just simple geometry that allows me to recognize people. I look at them and I have already analyzed the lighting scheme I would use to enhance their positive features while minimizing their negative features.

Positives and negatives applied to a human is obviously subjective. BUT, I have a pretty good idea, from many years of experience, of what I can sell to the people who love the people I photograph AND what features in any face will detract from sales.




You win this one Jack!
Posting the pic again just for the fun of it.

Sir Patrick Stewart.

I don't really follow celebrities. Sean Connery was the only actor I could think of who had been knighted. It didn't have much to do with the face, because I'm no good at recognizing actors by faces and figured the pic was of someone too young to be recognized by their older face anyway.

'MMmmm...tasty'

(eating a nice, ripe and crunchy asian pear. Odd fruit, pale yellow in color when ripe, crisp and crunchy but not as tough and resistant as a ripe apple or unripe pear, and not woody like pears can be, but juicy, sweet and with a distinctive flavor. Been munching on those recently, as I got a fair bit of fruit last time I went shopping for food, 8 asian pears, a two-pack of pomegranates that were on offer for cheaper than the price for one fruit (LOVE pomegranates and the juice of them), two big bunches of bananas, now, after a few days in a bag, developing brown spots on them, so they'll be nice and ripe and sweet when it comes to scoffing those, and something I've not had before, a weird melon, called an 'ice melon'. Looks..well...like a melon, but odd color. Started with a pale slightly greenish-tinted off white outer rind when it wasn't fully ripe and had patchy orangier colored stripes, which strangely, didn't turn out to be the color of the fruit itself outside (haven't opened it up yet so I don't know what it'll look like inside aside from the usual generic skin covering soft fruit with seeds in the middle probably) which it then lost, turning completely to that icy bluey-green tinted white color. And got a free orange, the local tesco supermarket has started putting out stalls of free fruit, so people can just take a piece and munch away, oranges, bananas, apples, I think pears, possibly, can't be sure about that. Nothing expensive or exotic, but afaik an effort to help people eat more fruit, and encourage kids to snack on fruit.
 
No charge, its just take one (and nobody bitches if you grab a couple and eat them as you shop. I'm not complaining, since free food is good food. Unless its vegetable of some sort since to me they aren't food. Sensory nightmare yes, food, only for target practice, in the sense of 'bullet food' :P I certainly don't want to eat the fuckers. (in either case :autism:)

Never had one of those before, kinda bought it on impulse.

Back from Carla's and mine "indulgence" trip to Boston.  Ate some of the best fried chicken I have ever tasted at a place called "Buttermilk and Bourbon".  Not your typical restaurant, as they serve mostly meats and their signature buttermilk biscuits.  They have salad, but, the chicken came without a side dish.  But, still, the chicken was awesome and I drank some of their favorite bourbon, "Wild Turkey".  Which I always thought of as american cheap bourbon.  But, surprisingly it was smooth and tasty.  The only downside was that we came home in a blizzard and after the train trip, it was a white knuckle slow drive to get home.  But, we made it and it's happy hour and time for wine!

Sounds like you had a good one rockhound.

I'm just sitting back, watching a horror movie with a handful of downers, (chlormethiazole) and some oxy. Them little grey liquid-filled freebase eggs are quite a heavyweight puncher (I choose alternatives to alcohol, since the aftereffects of alcohol cause a glutamatergic rebound AFAIK and it certainly seems to induce convulsive tendencies in me if I drink too much) so I like something nice and clean to get hammered. And smoking cigars, playing fallout-tactics, and getting ready to munch down on half of the big fat round ice melon that has been ripening in my kitchen until its now nice and soft and super juicy and fragrant.

Busily trying to rob a base medic of a bunch of super-stimpak heavyduty healing autoinjectors before heading back out to the wastelands and taking on all the packs of radiated mutant car-sized scorpions, packs of bandits, mutated ghastly horrors and worse besides.

Time to juice up the rippers, load power cells into the squad's laser-pistolier fast-shooting gunslinger's pistol, fill up the autoshotguns with flechette man-shredder shells (basically 12ga shotshells full of razor sharp darts that blast out in a cloud of spinning blades for a while then level out, IRL, flechette rounds, and then fly like arrows. They are nasty little fuckers and just the sort of thing you'd want to use if you were going to have gutted alive and flensed flesh from bone.) Not so good against armor, but on lightly armored targets then those things do a great job in FOT of shredding somebody and tearing their heads off their neck in a satisfyingly meaty splatter of gore and gizzards. Not as bad as the rippers though...close range only. And on a critical hit, as FOT message feedback puts it 'critical hit to the eyes, target was blinded. Target was torn in half like a phone-book' (basically the rippers are for hand to hand fighting, a chainsaw edged shortsword for stabbing people you don't like and slicing them to ribbons. they are not ranged weapons, but if anyone closes in they are really good for armor piercing capability, and a targeted eye-shot critical, or stab to the groin is very likely to result in a one-hit kill. And if your squad is stalking a target, then sneaking up behind them unawares and jamming it into the back of their skulls definitely gives 'em a nasty surprise :P

And if they do survive, the guy with the ripper still has a .44 magnum revolver ready to blow their kneecaps out to keep them there until the next turn or else some other squad member can come up and perform the execution with a double-barreled shotgun blast and a couple of slugs in the face. Or pull another ripper out and gut them alive after severing the tendons of their arms and legs.

Now I may be mistaken, but I'm fairly convinced that a lady at work has hair that is in fact a wig.
First clue: Her hair literally never changes style or colour, never changes length, never looks shinier or duller from one day to the next.
Second clue: She has tattoed on eyebrows (which are arched way too high and make her look surprised but that's between her and the bad beautician that did them)
Third clue: She has no eyelashes whatsoever, or arm hair or hair anywhere for that matter.

Alopecia Totalis or something I guess. She's a nice lady who I guess probably had a rough start with it.

I just find it both more comfortable than using a razor, and wrenching them out in clumps makes for a total removal rather than a shave, and as such is as close as one can GET to a close shave. It actually removes the hair in full, which is what I want. Bugger that reminds me, I'm probably overdue for a 'shave'.

I just grab a big a tuft of hair each time (on my face) as possible, twist it round the jaws of the pliers, squeeze them closed, twist and rip, then flick them in the bin. The hair not the pliers that is. And it gets me the perfect close 'shave' every time, without razor-burn, and both closer by far than using a blade, and  a lot neater than with a flame.

Decided to snag some beef jerky when I was shopping for some nosh earlier today. Not had this brand before, and damn, its REALLY good.  A LOT more tender than any other brand I've had. Actually looks like roast beef. Thin-cut roast-beef biltong, co-op own brand. Pretty cheap actually and mmmhh, this is really fucking good. That took all of 20 seconds and three mouthfuls of spicy, tender dried chewy sliced rib-eye beef and one of BBQ beef flavour one. I prefer the rib eye though. More tender and saltier. Spicier. This is sweeter. But still, quite edible. Didn't notice it wasn't all the rib eye  though when I bought it. And not much choice since they only had two packs left, some bastard had to go buy and munch the rest. Git :autism:

Still nicely chewy-licious and dead-cow-ey though, which is just right for right now. In a very carnivorous sort of mood atm. Got an asian pear part cut up but only ate one slice, before realizing that I was just...well...it tastes good enough but it isn't hitting the spot, and I don't see the fridge full of tiramisu and vanilla custard scratching the itch right this moment. Its got to be MEAT. Can of cold coke and a bag of sliced up dried out cow-carvings is just what I need to hit the spot.

Could have done with more meat though. For some reason I'm hungering for proteinaceous food atm. Might go make myself a protein shake, since I bought some instant mix, where you just chuck a scoop or two in with milk or a regular milkshake, so it doesn't get too thick (I've tried with frijj thick ones and I had to actually end up squeezing that out of the bottle, after it turned so thick it was more like a paste than a milkshake, could have stood a spoon up in it.). Although the mix is chocolate and all the non-thick milkshakes I've got are rhubarb&custard, so it just isn't going to mix.

Although for now,  a coke, a bag of salted beef strips and a cigar to finish off, plus a few 10mg oxy IRs. Kicking back, watching the movie 'blade', and with a cap of chlormethiazole to counter the caffeine in the coke and chill me out nicely. Playing fallout-tactics. Life is good :)

Possibly trichotillomania.

I have Trichotillomania. Recently I had to start sweeping my hair back with one of those metal head bands because I pulled the hair out at the top where the parting for my bangs met the parting at the top of my head. Decent hairstyles tend not to last long. I originally got the bangs cut to cover up a self-inflicted bald patch on my hairline!

If she was pulling every single hair I'm sure we would have noticed other highly anxious behaviors.

In other work related news, another younger guy in the office tendered his resignation for the third time today lol.
The first two times the partners successfully talked him into staying on (and gave him extra accommodations and support). But this time they just said fuck it. I guess it's because this time his resignation came with a really dishonest paper thin reason, which just made them feel like their support was getting thrown back in their faces.

I wonder if they'll give me some of his clients. Probably not.

I don't do anything like that. And its definitely NOT anxiety related, which is why in my case, the pliers I mean, I discount trichotillomania. Its just me wanting the closest shave possible with a smooth face not stubble. I don't want the short stubbly hair left behind from a razor cut, so yanking the fuckers out with pliers works better. And ever seen the price of even the horrid cheap single-bladed disposable razors? let alone a good multi-blade razor with quality blades?

And electric shavers are a pain in the ass and never get close enough. With pliers, I know that they are gone, root and all, with nothing to be prickly or stubbly.  And its actually not uncomfortable, aside from perhaps, when it comes to ripping out the hair that grows at the side of my labret piercing, or when styling a mustache.

Thinking that my GP is a slippery bugger to try and contact or get appointments with (he seems to be by far the most in-demand GP there is at the practice, and is by far the most reasonable and has the best bedside manner and least git-ish-ness potential, and the most decent human being out of the lot, owns the practice, but its like trying to grab a teflon-greased electric eel when you want to get a hold of him. Little fucker is a veritable Houdini. Good IF you can catch him, but its easier said than done. )

And not a small measure of personal pride on the reaction scheme and sequences for a lab project I chose for myself, that will involve quite a lot of hard work, but at the same time, keeps the number of steps from start point to end point to a minimum (three steps not counting workup) where the actual initial precursor is taken into consideration, but, depending on whether or not I can buy, or whether I must make and purify some carbon disulfide to use as a solvent quite a lot of actual work that needs to be done to perform one of those steps (generally with a reaction involving more than 'mix A with B, out drops C and you are done after a quick wash' every step lowers the yield of your target end product), as well as the preparation of a somewhat neglected and unusual phosphorus based reagent, that I'll need to make from scratch. And possibly, although it depends on how much I have left compared with how much will be needed, I might have to make my own diethyl ether, to top up the supplies I have since I am running a bit low. Unless I can do the same thing in diisopropyl ether, a mix of diisopropyl and diethyl ether, or use THF. Which means more work and both a flask of searing hot, concentrated sulfuric acid, and predrying some ethanol, or else preparing some ethyl iodide or ethyl bromide and wasting the iodine or bromine used for it and also sacrificing (irreversibly, unlike the halogen which can be recovered) some sodium metal to perform a williamson ether synthesis using primary alkyl halide and alkoxide, although its much cheaper to predry ethyl alcohol and drip it from an addition-funnel into a flask containing some concentrated sulfuric acid heated to about 120-125 'C distilling off the diethyl ether produced via dehydration-condensation of the alcohol by the hot sulfuric as its formed to avoid side reactions and condensing it from the vapor.

Gods...I think I know what its like to be a housewife. You start with one job and it turns into ten before you get to kick your shoes off and loaf around on the comfy sofa in front of star trek on the box (well, make that an autistic housewife, complete with literally, pointed, vulcan-like ears:autism:) and a cold beer in hand.

Or come to think of it, a crate of cold ones. Cold enough to freeze liquid nitrogen solid :P

Right now, I'm making do with a glass of cold elderflower and rose essence cordial. Although I wouldn't say no, at this particular moment in time, to a nip of vodka thrown in, I haven't got any in the house, I'd have to spend MORE effort MAKING ethanol via hydrobromic acid cleavage of diethyl ether, when I NEED the damn ether for something in the first place as part of my work..and I'm waiting for an important phonecall so can't go out and buy a couple of those little miniature spirit shot bottles.

Yep...this has to be what a housewife feels like most of the time she hasn't got a glass of wine in her hand and a purring cat on her lap. Or alternatively being fucked. Ideally not by the cat or neck of a wine bottle, or both. :autism:

Either that, or somewhere along the lines, Zeus got my birth certificate mixed up with Herakles and had Hermes deliver an entirely buggered up email to the three fates. Or just has it in for me on a personal level for something I'm pretty sure I either didn't do, or if I did I don't know what it was.

The villains in the Infamous: Second Son videogame are called the DUP. Their intentions are to round up all "Conduits" and generally hate on them. They're a very militant organisation too...
Could be argued that the villains of Northern Ireland (currently) are the DUP, who also want to round certain groups of people up, hate of them and are connected to militant organisations (UVF, UDA).

Coincidence? Well pre-Brexit kerfuffle the DUP wasn't widely known outside of the Northern Ireland, let alone outside of the UK, and Second Son came out in 2014.  :dunno:

Its what come s after winter, but before summer and  autumn:P

Or alternatively either a bendy coil of metal, or something that theresa may really needs to do after first climbing onto a high bridge just above the railway powerlines whilst there is a train moving in that direction at high speed. I bet she could spring pretty high and far too, if she used the recoil force released  upon taking her shoulders out of her upper bowel once  they get far enough to allow her head to pop out and catapult her ugly mush onto first power lines and then get her ground into a streak of greasy, falsehood-spewing, foully cunt-flap-cheese-stinking-meatpaste several  miles long.

Or natural upwellings of sometimes searing hot water, laden on occasion with toxic gases that stink of rotting eggs (H2S of course) that would be perfect to throw donald trump into, and watch him forced to swim out of the scalding, stinking water whilst it first removes all his skin, then boils him continually giving him deeper and deeper third-degree burns with every moment. Probably die afterwards, slowly and  in intense pain. Hopefully at least, but IMO the price  of contaminating just a single superheated volcanic spring would be a price  worth paying to have the world rid of his ugly orange ass with its additional inbuilt top-mounted dead albino semishaved racoon. And hey, the bacterial colonies in those  places are super-extrmophiles, and if anything can evolve to survive  THAT sort of noxious  contamination, it'll be extromophile microbial life. Those little buggers can adapt to anything, icy cold, poisonous atmospheres, concentrated acid, screaming hard radiation to nearly seven miles of oceanic pressure clustering around the vents which spew heavy metal-laden toxin-impregnated water that because it cannot boil due to the intense pressure, gets  hot enough to turn lead to molten metal.

Even some can survive the combination of unshielded solar radiation, deadly cold and hard vacuum of space and yet life. Even some bacteria that have been found not only in the depths of the ocean many miles down, but after drilling core samples, something like a few kilometers  further down still in solid  bedrock, they found things  that live down there, miles down, bacteria that eat solid rock and that are so slow growing that scientists originally thought them possible fossils or dead cells, but instead, because of the environmental conditions being pretty much hellish, divide once every century or so, and  sometimes less, keeping in a state of near stasis.

So surely something can evolve to devour the remains of a large heap of obnoxious, oleaginous shitspeaking orange imbecile.

Are you not within a coin flip of the Arctic Circle? Kind of hoping that prayers in ancient times to the gods of the Gulf Stream might mitigate further fury from that horrid arctic trend?
As for me, I am thousands of miles from the Arctic Circle, but there is only one fence between here and there. Hardly even a hill. I understand that this year that awesome fence was missing a strand of wire, so we got pretty cold and stayed cold. (end of absurdity for now)

We usually have a frost before summers is over, then two weeks later, once fall begins we have a devastating killing freeze, early in October. I like to think of that early cold as a jumpstart to beautiful fall color in all the maples, oaks, beech and birch here, assuming we have had decent amount of late summer rains.

Spring? What's that?

Even as wicked as our winter has been, it is ONLY the seventh coldest on record since someone had the idea to start keeping a record of things like the only things they could, like temperature and wind direction.

The coldest winters all happened before I was born thankfully.

I am ready for spring! I have bulbs showing their promise of blooms all over my humble yard. Brave little soldiers that they are!!
 :viking:

Ours is not the coldest by any stretch of the imagination, but it feels like it will never end. Every time I start believing in spring, it starts snowing.

Are you not within a coin flip of the Arctic Circle? Kind of hoping that prayers in ancient times to the gods of the Gulf Stream might mitigate further fury from that horrid arctic trend?
As for me, I am thousands of miles from the Arctic Circle, but there is only one fence between here and there. Hardly even a hill. I understand that this year that awesome fence was missing a strand of wire, so we got pretty cold and stayed cold. (end of absurdity for now)
 ;)

Two coin flips. :P

Ours is usually a reasonably mild climate - the ancient Gulf Stream gods tend to see to that - but accidents do happen.

I wish my foot would hurry the flying fuck up and heal already, enough to get a lift down to the cashpoint so I can find out my bank balance. I know I've got a good few hundred, possibly as much as a grand, or more, since I've been stuck in the house and spent very little for quite a while, largely because I don't know how much exactly I have.

I want to be able to hurry up and buy myself a new vacuum pump, of the diaphragm pump type, and one thats both able to give a powerful vacuum and ideally one with a built in vacuum/pressure gauge in the unit itself, and adjustable vac regulator built into the pump. I've seen some on ebay that have this sort of setup, and whats rather neat, is that they have both a vacuum and a compressor function, two separate outlets that can be used for both functions, one compressor and the other for pulling a vacuum. No oil needed, being a diaphragm pump and what is especially neat is that there are some like this with a teflon-coated interior, which is intended to help protect the pump internals from the kind of nasty, reactive, corrosive gases, vapors, mists etc. that are likely to end up needing to be vacuum-distilled, such as when purifying over the counter 98% sulfuric acid, which has a very high boiling point, but can be distilled in vacuo, and I'd definitely like one of those for the lab. Cost is about half a grand to 600, USD.

And it'll be useful for something I've been meaning to get around to for quite a while, namely converting a couple of gallons of antifreeze undiluted concentrate to 1,4-dioxane, a cyclic diether, by using strong, hot sulfuric acid  to dehydrate and condense two moles of ethylene glycol with elimination of H2O, and distilling off the dioxane as  it forms, for a rather nifty little process for metallothermic reduction of alkali metal hydroxides to alkali metals using magnesium dust mixed with the hydroxide, after roasting the latter to dryness and mixing the two as fine powder in a crucible, covering it with a slab of stone and weighting it down, just before the strip of magnesium ribbon inserted into the charge to ignite it burns into the mixture, which then undergoes a thermite-type reaction and reduces NaOH to Na metal and Mg(OH)2, or KOH to potassium metal, rubidium or caesium hydroxides to the respective metals, producing a pretty much homogenous, cement-like slag that has the alkali metal dispersed throughout it, which is then put into a blender filled with inert gas and ground to dust.

It appears that the physical chemical properties, be it surface tension, polarity, density or whatever other property responsible, or properties responsible, makes 1,4-dioxane the perfect solvent for the refinement process on the slag, which involves adding the powdered slag to a wide-necked flask purged with argon gas, which has been partially filled with 1,4-dioxane so as to cover the slag completely and give at least a couple of inches overhead, and then heating the flask to the melting point of the metal, which is made easier due to its being finely dispersed within the slag, the dioxane also provides a protective blanket over the reactive metal.

All nicely electrolysis-free, a lot of fiddling about avoided for molten salt electrolysis cells etc. and good yields, starting from two kinds of drain cleaner and antifreeze, resulting in both large quantities of alkali sodium/potassium etc. and the 1,4-dioxane which can then be recycled by distillation and reused either for the same purpose or other things.

Here too. Well not quite as cold (-5.5 Centigrade, 22 Fahrenheit. This morning my car looked like Old Man Winter had a sneezing fit all over it), but well below average for "The First Day Of Spring"  around here. Usually that March sun just starts to kick winter's ass.

Warm to come, surely! I still want winter in the past, especially this particular one. :zombiefuck:

Today seems about typical considering recent patterns, but late tonight, we are to start an eighteen hour day (Saturday) of constant precipitation at below to just freezing temperatures. The predictions are for between six and eight inches of accumulation of wet snow and sleet.

Much warmer next week, though, maybe. This shit will not last long!

The door doesn't lock on that side, maybe one of the guys getting carts found them nearby and thought they were mine?

  I'm talking about differences in pain tolerance, emotional intensity, stuff like that.  I've heard that

   heavy-duty opioid painkillers.  For me, ibuprofen and an ice pack are enough.  And I know people who
   grieve intensely over bad news (even if it's happening far away, not involving them), and who just seem to
   feel everything so much more deeply than I do, the good as well as the bad.  I just don't
   have the same emotional range that they seem to have, nor the same sensitivity to pain.  Fascinating! :vulcan:

Well living with somebody and leaving all the shitty work for them to do, when it is meant to be a cooperative effort is, indeed, behaving as a horses arse. Doesn't mean I hate her. But her behavior is not an admirable one in this particular case. So with respect to that, i stand by my words.

Leaving it all for you to do, is lazy on her part, and its taking the piss out of you. She needs to step up and do her share, not leave her crap for you to pick up. Why should you be expected to do all the work, and another benefit from it whilst making a habit of not contributing back? That to me, does not mean  a fair, equal partnership.

Just finished reading about the critical state on nursing burnout and how it is increasing.  Too much of a patient load and hospitals sending home nurses on what they think are "easy" shifts.  12 hour shifts, increasingly sicker and sicker patients admitted and being sent home sicker and sicker as the medical management seeks to decrease pay and increase profits.  Plus, no way a nurse gets to go home until the next shift arrives, which on bad weather days or someone calling out sick...may never happen.  Mandated overtime and all that jazz.  It was bad enough when I was nursing, now I have seen and read enough...glad I left the field with my health and sanity intact.

And the last statistic was revealing, multiple studies have shown good numbers in nursing staffing and shorter shifts lead to decreased patient mortality and medical errors.

Bugger, my nose is running a bit. Just taken some clonidine to help dry it up, along with a morning methadone  dose. Its a good job I got it actually, I didn't know until yesterday late evening, that it was a bank holiday. and I don't know if the damn doctors surgery will have faxed the prescription meds I should be taking through. They certainly didn't bother to fucking tell me.

They better had have done, but at least, now, I won't be landed into any major trouble with the pain meds though thanks to this fortuitous acquisition. It seems to be making my nose drier too, which is good, because I need to strap my gas mask on and go get to work.

Thanks. I ordered some businessy garments in anticipation of job interviews (not that I've sent a resume to anywhere yet).
The red suit is probably not the best interview clothes but I just thought it was cool. And it was massively discounted.
I didn't end up getting it though, I bought a dark charcoal one instead.

I have a raccoon trying to take up residence in my garage.  Second time tonight I been disturbed and gotten up to shew her away. Not really many things I can do about it, except call animal control who will set up a "safe trap" While I wait for a few weeks for it to become complacent enough to forget about the trap and get caught.
Can not just take stick to bastard or just shoot it. Fucking liberal yuppies have gone nuts about trying to "save" pest animals.

The whole reason they are invading city dwellings is that they have over-populated their environment and moved into the city back yards to take over those areas as well.
She has already torn up my screen door to "break in" to my garage. I will try one more time to set a trap, but the only thing that will happen when I trap her is that she will be released along the river (six blocks away) and just wander back into town again.

Just  seen quite a large number of fair-sized fermentor type reaction vessels, 1 liter and up, and I reckon if I bag the right ones, I could potentially, after keeping a few for myself, make a good  few hundred quid a piece flipping a few of the big ones on ebay. And of course could certainly make nice use of some large high tech fermentation vessels.

I'm getting pretty tempted just looking at them, underpriced and juicy for the taking  and reselling (some of em anyway) the others on. Some are under £100, and I bet I could get five times that for them, in some cases a fair bit more. Those big industrial pilot scale fermentation vessels aren't cheap, the type with the flanged flask and head with multiple inlets, and closed by metal clamps. Worth quite a bit. Used for spawning things living, usually.

Well, I did not pay off the house.
We had tendered the advise of two financial advisers as to how to deal with my latest horror (company sold out holding some of my investments and de-valued the stock to make the sale. Ends up I lost about one hundred ninety thousand investment dollars over the past two years. They locked all accounts last year due to the impending sale of the company and now that things have settled they were just going to send us all a check for our investments. Whole shit stinks and I have no recourse, except to pay taxes on the incoming check and just suck it). I sought professional financial advise.

The advise from both companies was that we should just re-invest (into a pre-tax account) the proceeds from the sold out company and refinance our mortgage at a lower rate and just set my newly gained Social Security Administration payments aside to help pay off the loan in record time. Kind of makes sense to me.

We will finish this whole thing up this coming week. I hope.  Well, next year I will be sent another check for the remainder of my investment, plus any possible gain (probably will be a loss - about one hundred sixty thousand in net after a similar decrease - compared to the last reduction.)

I thought I was going to retire and give myself a raise. Well it is more complicated than that.

Except for all the losses while the company sold itself, I think I am still OK. My financial advisers tell me that we are doing great and one guy said I wish I had so much on the ball.
Assuming that neither of us gets hurt at work or that my wife's company does not choose to go on strike this year (the contract is in negotiation this year and it is looking scary.) we "might" be OK.

Thanks, pal, but do not worry. I do not have all my eggs in one basket. That was just what I earned from my fourteen years as a professional portrait photographer.

Trust me, except for this bit of investment, I should never had the audacity to point my camera at a human. I had much more fun taking three hours to set up  shot at a river fall with a large format camera and taking a one hour long exposure to make it all look like gas instead of liquid. Even the tourists who came by, goofed about and drifted off were invisible in my shots.


.. or something similar.

I will be fine, eventually.

Still...no way you can extract some blood from those little bastards? (metaphorically speaking...well mostly at least...somewhat...to a degree metaphorical, sort of....a bit anyway :autism:)

I'm thinking...fuck I'm about to take a bit more methadone, because my neck is MURDER right now. And I don't want to use any of the dihydrocodeine tablets I was scripted at the hospital. Those have...a different purpose to their existence. over a gram and a half of DHC....plus the stuff needing extraction from 7.4 (IIRC) mg DHC to 500 paracetamol. And plenty of them. It mounts up anyhow. Besides, I'd need a bloody ton of DHC to do much given I'm a chronic pain patient. So, 60mg methadone, intramuscularly will do just the trick.

It was like when one uses a perfectly round circle to represent "fucking everything possible."  Then drawing a slash mark across it to mean none what so ever of any of that shit ever.

Now think in reverse, without the slash mark across ones all inclusive thoughts.

He was thinking about stuff.   O  This includes a lot of thought.

I will have to try a different font face to make this argument meaningful, because that "O" is nothing even approaching round. 
But I was thinking about my dog, so maybe later.

Have you heard about Texas, lately?

The thing that astounds me is that the shooter's father has gone to "teh media" to to proclaim that his son, who did all the shooting, is nothing worse than another victim. Since he might have been bullied some, he is to be seen as a victim and his act of shooting up a bunch of people at his old school is merely another symptom of the real problem.

Talk about reaching!!

I saw the headline in the local paper about the Texas Fiasco at work. It bothers me that we're the only one with the highest rate of gun violence within the school systems in the world. Meh.... I'm not surprised, because there was rumors when I was in high school that some kid was going to come into our school, and shoot up the place. Not sure who they were referring to... yet I have a vague recollection.

Where I went to school in the late sixties and early seventies, in South Texas, every other car in the student parking lot was a farm pickup truck with at least a shotgun and or a rifle or both and often a .22 of some sort hanging on a rack in plain view in the back window.  (there were rattle snakes, here and there.) No one even fucked with trying to steal them.

No one thought a thing about it. If one got into a fight with someone else, it was a fistfight. Even the big-ass Buck knives everyone (even girls) carried on their belts were never drawn. No one even thought about going out to the parking lot and coming back with a gun and shooting people up.

This "New" world is just different. There are too many people who have lost respect for one another.

The track was closed yesterday, I had to work today, but tomorrow is A Big Thing called  "Carburetion Day"  and I plan to attend the practice and the spectacle.

This is the day that the racers go out to practice with what they think is going to be their best set-up for race day and tweak it if necessary.

Often the "fastest cars" on "Carburetion Day" have lead the race and often lead many laps. But as many who follow this race know or have come to expect, none of that means shit.  Fast never gets it all done like consistency can. It is a team sport with a lot of strategy at play.

They are topping out around 229.3 Miles Per Hour and nearing 240 MPH down the straights.  Pole Sitter for the race is at 229.618 MPH. Remember that is a four lap average speed. Same challenge to all, as fast as you can for four laps to even qualify for the race.

Last time this happened the ruling bodies of the series slowed the cars down for about the tenth time.
It is like no matter how much they strangle the racers by reducing displacement of the engines, lowering allowable boost to the intakes, making the cars heavier, increasing the downforce, the ingenious Indy car racing teams get right back to that evil  "No Man's Land"  (Shit, Danika is back so No Woman's Land either)  of the two forties.

NOPE!! We can not allow them to go that fast.

It is always a fun day. I have the same tickets as last year, so the view will be awesome. I am fairly high up just past the fourth turn so I can see the entire track, but realize the second turn is over a mile away.
I take my 10x42 Nikon Monarch binoculars and my closed circuit track radio headphones and two gallons of frozen water in a clear backpack.

Now think in reverse, without the slash mark across ones all inclusive thoughts.

He was thinking about stuff.   O  This includes a lot of thought.

I will have to try a different font face to make this argument meaningful, because that "O" is nothing even approaching round. 
But I was thinking about my dog, so maybe later.

I cheated. I bought some greenhouse grown plants that were three feet tall and already had green tomatoes (about the size of large marbles) on them.
Pricey, but hoping for the best.
No cucumbers this year for me, but I have a decent stand of okra and already harvested some broccoli. All my other greens except for kale are trying to bolt to seed; have to watch and keep the middle clipped out.
Onions, chives, beets and garlic are kicking ass though. Those are all freeze hardy. Got those in three months ago. Then for next TWO months I thought that was going to be the extent of my garden for the year.

One of the flowerbeds that came with the house is... there's no other word to use than infested, with chives. I like the stuff but there's no way I could use even a fraction of what's growing.

Haven't decided what to replace it with yet.

Cucumbers and tomatoes didn't happen today after all, due to an unfortunately timed wolfcub poop incident. I did get the tomato cages though, and I have high hopes for tomorrow.

Amazing Indianapolis 500 race and all in, a great day at the track.
HOT!! 
But I was ready and am not even sunburned. I saw so many people heading to the medical service areas with massively debilitating sun burn and even some who had to be carried by friends from heat prostration, exhaustion, etc. Great way to fuck up a trip south or even across the Atlantic for some people I met.
Never saw so many Euros at the track as this year.

An Aussie won it. The fan favorite and pole sitter came in second.

It has been a struggle for him to find work. I finally convinced him to trim his hair (from the middle of his back - think Braveheart - to just about the shoulders so he does not look so much like a potential lawsuit waiting to be hired) and his second interview he was hired.

He works full time at a car wash, so very seasonal, but any start is a good thing in my book.

He is getting more social and people exposure than he has all year!

You post a lot in the game threads, short answers that respond to the title rather than the people. Rarely reacting to what others say, so it sometimes seems like posting to the wind rather than saying something to someone, and that's difficult to respond to. Always want to talk to skyblue1 more when he's around, but he does the same with the game threads, and that makes him difficult to engage too. It's just an awkward thing, someone who has trouble joining conversations in the same space as people who have trouble starting conversations. I found another one of your posts and responded to it.

I can never quite make my mind up, whether its astonishingly shocking that such a mentally vacuous, haploid fuckrodent ever came closer to the whitehouse than possibly traveling beneath it, via the sewerage system, or whether It's being in the oval office is just a sad, pathetic reflection on america.

Trump is a fucking embarrassment, not only to the US, but to the world. I bet Vladimir Putin is cackling with glee, in between choking on his vodka, at the prospect of having such a useful idiot as a puppet, dancing to order with every twitch of his commie tentacles.

Trump should be skinned, rolled in salt then boiled alive slowly in a cauldron filled with his own fermented diarrhea and piss, for the good of humanity; he is stupid enough, and unfortunately powerful enough to be damn dangerous to the world at large. If he were just stupid, it wouldn't matter, but he's in the wrong place to be a shit-snuffling lobotomite.

We did a camp out in the badlands of Alberta CA, near the fossil beds and Dinosaur museum near Drumheller.  Quite an experience.  Carla bathed in the river and we all feasted on the numerous Gooseberry's found on the bushes around our camping area.  For the ignorant, Gooseberries look a lot like and taste like blueberries, just bigger.

Wondering with great anticipation, what chemicals and glassware I am about to treat myself to.


I KNOW I'll be getting myself some trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), but I've got over a hundred quid to spend on many other delightful new toys and supplies to use in those toys.

Want more round bottomed flasks, I'd like, IF I can afford it, a new 2 liter separatory funnel, but definitely more RBFs in various sizes, from super-tiny, as little as 50ml, or even 25ml 3-neck RBFs, my smallest atm is 100ml or possibly 150ml, forget which. But thats 3/4 larger than I'd like my smallest to be. (I have rounded flasks with a single, long neck that are as small as 5ml, but not a highly advanced, full on ultra microscale kit.) So of course I need to buy the parts to put it together.


What to buy...what to treat myself to....oh i DO so wonder.......what'll it be first.

Cold fusion? if its even possible then we don't know how to do it.

I could certainly achieve hot fusion, and build what is basically a neutron flux generator, and a miniature star in a bottle (not a glass bottle, a wire grid) for a type of electrostatic confinement fusion known as a Farnsworth fusor. Fusing deuterium-tritium fuel mixtures (deuterium and tritium are by far the most common/well known isotopes of hydrogen, regular hydrogen being known as 'protium' when distinguishing it as an isotope is needed, the other, less well known would be an electron orbiting a positive muon, called muonic hydrogen, an element in its own right, that for the ortho-configuration of hydrogen (H has two different configurations, IIRC its related to the nuclear spin of the electron orbiting the proton which forms the nucleus, these being ortho- and para-hydrogen), has a different half life compared to para-muonic hydrogen.

Although its still damn short, about 2 microseconds, I would bet it has interesting chemical properties though with the muon evaporating, and leaving a bare electron behind, I bet it could  be used to embed charges in electrets via hydrogen embrittlement, only for the muon to decay, vanish, and leave the electret with a huge excess charge.

And of course, reductions with solvated electrons, just by firing a muonic hydrogen beam into say, anhydrous ammonia, with a particle accelerator (I say 'just', the concept is simple  enough but putting it into practice is rather more common.) and neatly, muons can also catalyze nuclear fusion, called, surprisingly enough, muon-catalyzed fusion)

While with current technology as has been applied in the construction and design of the Farnsworth-Hirsch fusor, break even, or positive net gain of power has never been realized due to large conductive losses on the grids, its certainly possible to initiate a fusion reaction with a deuterium-tritium fuel mixture, and confine it with an electrostatic potential across the grids of the fusor, giving you essentially, a star in a jar, spitting out hordes of neutrons every second, which can be used to irradiate things, after passing the neutrons through a moderator to slow them down, and this neutron irradiation can transmute elements into other elements via neutron capture. For example depleted uranium (238U) if irradiated with moderated, slowed down neutrons, would end up being transmuted to a mixture of plutonium 239 and neptunium, mostly as 237Np along with some of the isotope 239Np, that then decay after a short time depending on the isotope, back into isotopes of plutonium.

I wouldn't mind building a Farnsworth fusor sometime actually. And hey, what isn't to like about having a literal small star in a bottle of your very own, as long as you turn on the grid currents and supply the fuel for the plasma.

I'd fucking LOVE to see what the results would be like once we eventually get to not just room temperature but damn high temperature superconductors. Especially magnetic ones (magnetism is rare in superconductors, usually destroying the superconductivity, but they can exist. There is an alloy of neptunium which, although a low temperature (cryogenic, -hundreds of degrees) superconductor, it at least proves superconductivity in a magnetic material is possible.

Which if a high temperature one could be developed, eventually I reckon it probably will as we understand superconductors better and better, would allow for the addition of magnetic confinement by the grids themselves if made of such a magnetic superconductor, able to superconduct at high temperatures such as faced by the grids close to the plasma ball where nuclear fusion takes place, but the conductive losses....eventually the superconductor ought to saturate, and the conductive losses due to the grids be nullified, I think, at least.

Which would mean just having to run it for a long enough time for the superconductor to saturate it, or else artificially saturate it before turning it on, using an exterior implantation source to inject current into the grids, like a small LINAC running as an electron accelerator. Then hopefully that problem with the lossy grids would be solved.

Great Old Ones eh? I like your literary tastes. Ia! C'thulhu f'taghn!
 
As for me, it isn't one of ye elder things, or great old ones I am conjuring up. 

This is a little alchemy to summon forth the nascent beginnings of a certain dopaminergic amine, just waiting for the quicklime (calcium oxide) to dessicate the toluene now transferred to my 250ml separatory funnel from the  1l one needed to process the large volume of liquid to be extracted (in separate portions, the 1l funnel and 1l beaker plus another smaller beaker, along with my big ol' bugger of a vacuum filtration flask, 2.5 liter, although I only filled it with whats being extracted to just below the vacuum hose barb, which was used to pour  from as needed.

I think the quicklime will have done it's job by now and the toluene,  now dessicated, saturated with anhydrous hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid gas) when put into a beaker, and the  beaker placed in  bath of salted ice to, I hope; crystallize out that of which I seek. If not I'll distill the toluene off, dissolve the salt in isopropanol, hot at the minimum quantity needed to dissolve it all, then crash it all out with ice cold acetone, which my compound is soluble, evaporate some isopropyl off under vacuum then make with
the acetone, miscible with IPA but the product isn't soluble in acetone, but is in IPA.

The acetone dilutes the isopropyl and forces the target compound to drop out. I'll wash the spent  quicklime too, with additional toluene to reclaim the product soaked into the slurry of CaO at bottom of the
sep funnel, decanting it off a couple of times before I deem it done. Then the gas generator and recrystallizing  product, taking melting points to verify purity before  it gets used in a reaction.

Own. Your. Words. Cunt.

I have never NOT owned my words dumbarse.
Unlike you I am not slimy and disingenuous.
Here is how this works in your delusional mindset.

A) You have a truce with me. You are obliged not to get personal to disagree but not get personal and restart the feud.
B) You rail against Scrap for some dumb and really gross things that he said about young girls.
C) He ignores you
D) You keep railing against him
E) He still ignores you
F) You still rail against him
G) He says 'Hey I was drunk and shit talking, whatever"
H) You decide this tactic is not working as you want and start implying he may have a preference for small breasted women
I) I tell you that this is patently absurd because he has been posting big breasted women for the last 10 years and is one of the only one who DOES post nude women and almost all of them are big breasted. A definite type.
J) You get incensed at me and try to tell me what you had previously been railing against was the same though you were clearly saying something that was patently absurd and on its face pretty indefensible
K) You decide to get personal. You do this by bringing my daughter into an argument to point score and misrepresent a position as (paraphrased)  "If you are a parent of a daughter, then you need to agree with my position because the value you place on your daughter is necessarily wounded by NOT agreeing with my position and seeing sense in my nonsense. Any attack I make on Scrap MUST be allowed and defending him or disagreeing with my premises is lending him and his views credibility. This enables a creepy pedophile and thus you are devaluing all females including your daughter by defending him" (Yes this is exactly why you did what you did)
L) I tell you that you got personal and broke the truce and gloves are off
M) You try EVERY dishonest trick to downplay your transparent efforts and to project your shortcomings on me.
N) They don't work and you lose control of any ability to slime out of what you did and said.
O) You now run to the interesting concept of "ME defending YOU from attacking me by dragging my family into your arguments and pointing his out and railing against you is now ME bringing my daughter into arguments and somehow a bad thing".

I mean IF someone brings your family into an argument to attack you, you have NO means to defend and must never mention them? People ought to get that level of personal because any defence is somehow THEM misusing their own family.

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?

I just did my first ever bit of IT help - Kayleigh's tablet wasn't getting any input from its keyboard. So I suggested that she turn the tablet off and then turn it back on again. :P

It worked and now Kayleigh is typing away.

You mean you are not going to respond to someone who exposes you and is not put of by your acts of misdirection and project? Suits me fine. You will not enjoy having any defence though. You have a problem with containing yourself and self-control which is why you broke the truce. You will not be able to refrain from answering to what I lay at your feet. You will look weaker than you already are and it will give more weight and validity to that which I lay at your feet.

You have three choices as far as I can see:

1. Run to your mod tools to win the argument (that will look very bad. You break the truce and bring my family into an argument, then shitcan me when it doesn't go well for you)
2. Try doing what you are now and deny you did anything and misdirect and project your own faults onto me in hope I will stop or others will side with you - some will. But it will ultimately make you look bad because you do not have a leg to stand on. You were completely and transparently out of line and it is obvious.
3. You can stop replying to me and that will not stop me. You will have some sympathy for not carrying on with it like I will regardless BUT you will be exposed thoroughly and you know you have no self-control or contraint so you will eventually break.

Looks all kind of bad Odeon.

Obituary for Common Sense.


"We’ve lost a long time friend.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn’t always fair, and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned, but overbearing, regulations were set in place.

Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teenagers suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they had themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer paracetamol, sun lotion or plaster to a pupil, but could not inform the parents when a pupil became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home, but the burglar could sue you for assault because you protected yourself and your own.

Common Sense finally passed away after a 7-year-old child was suspended from school for chewing a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I’m A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized that he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Common Sense finally bit the dust."

It's the wisdom of the "common" folk contrasted with book learning.


I was always confused over liberal arts.  Then I realized there are

Liberal arts (book learning)
Fine arts (painting, sculpture, etc)
Literary arts (writing)
Military arts (war)

I haven't figured out the terms for science art and mathematical art.

Suck memory or realization of our own mortality, but interesting weirdness (my wife is ALWAYS testing me about music shit - I still do not think she more than half believes that I worked so many years with so many "brand name" rock stars, let alone know anything about just about every fucking thing about music. Music HAS been a large part of my life, all told.)

Anyway, It has been almost a year now ... I was just waking up from a morning nap when she tells me that Goldy McJohn has died, fully expecting me to go like wtf are you even talking about. but I went off into a small tear and a bit of a tear (careful how you use pronunciation to find the meanings available). I sort went off, "NO not the guy from Steppenwolf!! He played keys! NO."

Anyway, I guess I passed that test, but yeah!! It has almost been a year since he left us.
No more Magic Carpet Rides ever.

Maybe there is a new ride in the works ...

Honestly, you do need electricity to keep the blues alive, Check out some more Bonamassa:
Not sure why anyone would tempt death by toying with Flight Of The Bumblebee stuff, though.

I read recently that in his early days he was too shy to sing and would not sing on stage. One of his managers told him something similar to what Chas Chandler told Jimi Hendrix at the outset of his career ... who could we possibly get to sing YOUR songs, behind YOUR guitar. It HAS to be you!

Lots of crappy singers out there and Joe B. is not one of them. Nor was Jimi.

This country is in rough shape and we are on our own here. The rest of the world does not give a shit, so we have shoulder this personal challenge upon ourselves.

Weird thing happened today.
I went to pick up my daughter from her class at our normal time and she was a bit late. Now I still smoke, but I never smoke in my car, in case I want to sell it later. She was late getting out and I had begun to worry, calling and calling home, etc. I had forgotten that she was going to work on a project for extra credit, taking a few minutes extra to be done today.

So I stood outside my car and smoked my pipe for a while, while a police officer watched and I am sure, taking down my license number and running it through their system.

I am perfectly clean. No worries with being checked out by police, etc.  Many years since I clocked some asshole for being an asshole and was charged for a felony assault for putting a piece of human shit into the hospital in about ten seconds. No charges that time - I always know who I take down. Still no worries. 

However, perfectly legally, I was on school grounds with my daily carry .45 auto on my hip. I had not entered the building, nor had I intended to do so. I was just smoking my pipe outside my vehicle which I had parked under a large shade tree, next to where a police officer was also parked under an adjacent huge shade tree. I mean, seriously, would I be all mellow, puffing my pipe for twenty minutes, with my .45 on my hip in plain view of a police officer if "I was up to something?"  Seriously!

I keep a gun safe inside my "secret place" where I will not post where it is kept and when I became worried about why my daughter was taking so long to exit the building. I stowed my arm and moved my car closer to the entrance and went inside to ask the attendants to page my daughter.

I was immediately stopped by three police officers.

Of course, I had my ID and my license to open carry in my wallet. The weird thing is that I could not convince any of the cops that I was there to pick up my daughter (until she called my cell, which the cops had confiscated at that point). The cop who had watched me for twenty minutes was not there and three other cops in charge of securing the school had a report of  suspect approaching the school with a weapon.

Even after my daughter called and ONE OF THEM took the call I still had to show them that I was who I said I was with all the personal credentials I could dig out of my wallet and my car, before they would allow me to continue on my way with my daughter.
She was like, Dad, what happened!??!

The only time I have ever been challenged for keeping my .45 on my hip was at a small town Walmart, many years ago.

It was annoying. I was WELL beyond within my rights, etc. I am leaning toward making a scene, but I do not want my open carry privileges revoked.

Now, in a nearby middle school, some shithead kid came in and shot up a classmate and a teacher. That teacher fucked that kid up and got his two guns away from him before any one else, besides the teacher and one other student were injured.
I have to think of that incident as hyping up the cops and possibly causing this entire drama. When we went out to my car, the officer who had parked under the trees with me was there with riot gear on and responding to his radio.

I walked up to him, holding his M4 machine gun leveled at the ground in front of me and apologized for causing him any amount concern. I showed him where I keep my gun safe, demonstrated that my weapon was loaded and ready to go and I was safe with it.
After I made a big show of just how proficient I was with my weapon, I put it back on my hip right in front of him, perfectly within my rights as a law abiding, licensed citizen in good standing for all to see, since he was wearing a body cam.

I got into my car and drove away with my sweet, mostly safe daughter.

Sometimes, they just have to check some things out, I guess.

Not to put too fine a point on it while picking up my daughter from school property, but after a half hour of reading Indiana Supreme Court transcripts I found that my civil rights were violated today.

Police in Indiana are not allowed to detain and question a citizen, simply for openly carrying an otherwise legal firearm.
ALL my Colt .45s are perfectly legal to carry anywhere in this state, except for places specifically noted as gun free, such as school buildings, concerts, bars, court rooms - the list goes on, but common sense helps to know where one should stow their weapon instead of wearing it.

Since I did not attempt to carry my weapon into a school building, I should not have been stopped and questioned. Not sure I agree with that. Schools are different, period. So are all the other places which restrict carry, open or otherwise.

Kroger or Starbucks on the other hand have no right to prevent me from "Keeping The Peace" under their roofs.

mixed opinions about your experience.

In Louisiana it's illegal to carry firearms onto the school grounds IIRC.  Your state restricts the building, not the land.

On the on hand, it's good that they were skeptical and proactive.

On the other hand it's not good that they put you through the wringer.

Glad you took the situation calmly and like a gentleman.

Letter of the law or not, I tend to agree with your point of view.

Schools must be separate and "holy"  safe places. Honestly, as I move forward in time, I intend find a way to not scare the police AND keep us protected on the trip to and from.

I will not even think of NOT going fully armed, but the schools? Serious dilemma.

A bill before the state Senate is (scheduled to pass by a large margin) going to set up certain teachers with weaponry after police training.

I feel confident in my own abilities, considering I have had fifty years experience, but to hand a firearm to a random person after thirty seven hours of range time (police standard, but that also includes two years of other training activities before being issued a probationary badge AND an experienced partner)?

Lots of very scary questions come to mind!

Not everything is Black and White.  Why not ask the question Female and Male?  I'm sure a woman would not have been subjected to the same treatment as Dirtdawg.

And yes, I know the black/white treatment division.  I live in the South.

And maybe Dirtdawg's driving a truck, having a beard (I think he has a beard), staring at the school building, etc. had some place in the officers' actions.

You are correct upon all inferences. I drive a large crossover SUV. I could fit a fucking cannon in the back or about fifty six bags of mulch (more often and more common) and I was definitely checking out the entire building, while pacing around the car smoking my pipe. Now I do have a beard, but I keep it trimmed. It barely goes more than a tiny bit below my collar bones. My beard fucking kicks ass!  When I recently traveled to Texas to visit my mom in the hospital, she did not recognize me until I had convinced her that some wild looking strange man was about to hug her.
(I still kind of cry a bit at times, missing her hugs, but she is doing better. Hopefully, I will have many more!)

As a hobby endeavor, during my young years, I pretended to explore various thespian interests and, even young, well shaven, trim and trying my best to be faggotty, I could never pass for a woman, until I made myself into a sparkle top, wore a couple of pillows strategical placed, tied my knees together so I could actually waddle properly, donned an apron, hideous dress, size twelve old lady shoes and brandished a larger than usable rolling pin. I was always considered to too "butch" to pull off being a woman.

Pretty sure these cops, who I have the greatest respect for, BTW assumed they were dealing with a male.

Had my cousin been there with her 9mm on her hip, I would bet she would also have been identified and questioned.


Not everything is about black or white ...

Yes you were downplaying his experience and outrage and saying he should thank his lucky stars that he was not black. Like telling someone who is beaten up that they are lucky they weren't raped.

Thanks for positive thoughts for my mom.
She has gone back and forth a bit lately, but things seem to be better now. She comes from strong stock and just a year ago she was still doing all the farm stuff she did as a teen. AND taking all the aging and failing siblings all over three counties to doctor appointments, physical therapy sessions, dietitians, blood work labs, etc, etc.

We have lost two of her brothers and one of her sisters husbands lately, but she comes from a family of eight kids and the nieces and nephews that that implies.

Not sure if I mentioned them all, but we have had six elder family deaths in the past year. Rough times for us all, but particularly odd for those of us in our sixties or approaching that age, who are looking up and having to face the fact that WE are now the elders in charge of all the land holding, homesteads, varied businesses and the last of the "still alive" older ones who are beginning to need more and more care.
Needless to mention, my older cousins and I have become "RE-acquainted" over this past year and we all have each other on speed dial.

Just another one of those things that you either learn to live with or die because of.  (Sorry for the hideous grammar, but I was paraphrasing one of my grandfathers who had a third grade education and still fought in WWI, survived The Great Depression raising a decent family any way he could while keeping the taxes paid on a family homestead)

I'm thinking about the rack of battered cod fillets set to a good sizzlin' in the oven, and the taste to come as I begin to sink my gnashers into the first juicy, tender battered package of quality white god fillets. A bit of a pain they take doing for 20 min in the oven rather than being suitable for a quick MWing, but that wouldn't get the batter right IMO. I want that to undergo it's Maillard reaction to lightly-medium browned and lovely crispy flavourful aromatic perfection. Not just get nuked in the microwave. Some things do need the oven to do them properly, and IMO battered fish is one of them. Got to get the batter right.

I love all kinds of fish, but cod is one of my favorite white fish catches.

It has been years since I had some cod that I did not have to buy at a store somewhere.

I enjoyed how you misspelled cod once and called them god fillets.  Now that might open another discussion. God fillets, indeed. How about a rack of God ribs, would it ever end? I am also partial to chicken breasts, but does God have breasts?   Hmmm ...

I like it!

That's my ex fiancee yer' talking about :P Because yes, she was indeed, a goddess. Albeit rather...young, but a very, very, VERY beautiful, stunningly sexy, astonishing autie lass who could turn my legs and spine to tingling liquid with the consistency of a boneless water bed just by calling to me from far down the road as we would meet, and on seeing each other, both howl each other's name, heedless of anything or anyone else, as we would both take off like a bullet from a high-caliber anti-materiel rifle, paired, and fired directly into each other, crashing together like a storm, spinning each other through the air, or just knocking straight into each other, all the while, with the name of one another, being SCREAMED, at the top of our lungs, things like the distinctly 'special ed' and kinda obviously classically autie vocal tonal modulation, every little quirk of amplitude and frequency just making me melt. That really was all she had to do, to kinda put me in a weird sort of almost trance like state, and have me melt to a figure-hugging, form-fitting skintight outfit for her to wear. So yeah, god...is a she, and she has them. But they ain't for general consumption by the public at large.

Although yes, they are indeed the most wonderful set to ever grow from a special little autie angel. A dark-winged angel for sure, and a naughty one. But in the best way.

Where?

The phrase,  "open carry"  automatically means a reference to my Second Amendment Rights, here in this land.  Everyone knows how I feel about that, so not much more I can add.

But municipalities all over this land have set up ordinances for even walking down the street with a beer in your hand. Even unopened carry of wine, beer or liquor is restricted in many cities, especially after certain evening hours. With weaponry, it can be even more ridiculous.

Many of the larger cities in this land have actually tried to restrict open carry Federal Rights and they all happen to be some of the most crime ridden places in the nation.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as law abiding as most of us.
All of my "friends"  on the two Indiana and Michigan gun guy sites I visit are law abiding citizens and we carry (open or concealed) for an infinite number of reasons.
First and foremost, as law abiding citizens, it is our constitutionally protected right. Any of the other reasons come after that one.

NOW, we ALL agreed on this federal constitution and for those who want to back out can do so with no questions asked, but they can not back the rest of us out of what WE ALL agreed upon, many years ago.


There are some places, though, as I mentioned earlier in the week. Cops were nervous about the proximity to a school and a random unknown person carrying something they suspected might have been a firearm.
Lots to talk about in that regard.

To answer your first question: in the US, not more specifically than that.

I'm wondering if the second amendment really was intended to cover openly carrying that thing in the Youtube video. AFAIK, the amendment discusses the right to a militia and your founding fathers had quite a bit of discussion around that.

In New Orleans open carry means you can carry your alcoholic beverage out of the bar in a styrofoam or similar cup, but not in a glass unless it is in a cardboard open top sleeve/box. (Too much danger of broken glass in the French Quarter.)

In the rest of Louisiana it means that if you buy a daquiri from the drive-thru the plastic cover must remain intact until you arrive at your destination.  No piercing the cover with a straw.  There are 4 drive-thrus within 5 minutes of my house.  Hic.

To answer your first question: in the US, not more specifically than that.

I'm wondering if the second amendment really was intended to cover openly carrying that thing in the Youtube video. AFAIK, the amendment discusses the right to a militia and your founding fathers had quite a bit of discussion around that.

True.
Back when I was still in the music business, I used to write my own bi-lateral/mutually binding contractual documents. Hardly ever had problems except for an occasional breach, never mine. Used a set of documents for many years and then got fancy. I had a lawyer look them over. I heard things like:
You need a comma here.
You need to remove this period and make this one sentence.
You have an extra comma. Take this one out.
Etc.

The devil was in the details as some say. I had drawn up very good, dual binding contracts, but they were not lawyer bullet proof. YET. I had them "fixed."  Only problem was that they became immediately something more than an agreement between two working pals. I was suddenly having to have contracts inspected and possibly revised by the other party's own lawyers, instead of just signing them and shaking hands.

SO looking back at that Second Amendment, from what I learned in my experience, there might possibly be too many commas.
It changes dramatically with removal of one and more so with another. Again remove another two and chaos or certainty.  Pretty sure it was done on purpose. I think it is interesting how few times the Supreme Court has had a say on this question.

In the old days (late 1800s and early 20th century, two very well known cases - look them up if you want me to do so. Every one time NRA member has ignored them for years)  there seemed to be more of a focus on the "well regulated militia"  phrasing and some people lost a bit of right with those two decisions. 

One of them had to do with a sawed off shotgun and to me that type of weapon has no use in a militia nor on a hunting trip. However, in protecting my own indoor household, I would enjoy to still have that option. As for now I use my hunting shotgun as my main "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" weapon. Its barrel is twenty two inches long, but a twelve inch barrel would be much lighter and easier to wield as a simple self defense weapon. That particular type of design is not legal to own under any circumstance after that ruling.

More currently, it seems as if the rights of the individual are the focus of the more recent decision. I found this quote with one Wiki search:

 “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”

That does not address open carry at all, however if you were to read the entire court ruling, there is a lot more. I believe that all states have well defined open carry AND concealed carry laws and they generally seem almost insane to me. As a law abiding citizen, I will be one of the last to give up my chance to keep my family and "friends" safe while in my company.

Don't like my Colt tucked under my arm when we go shopping for records then do not come. We both have choices.  ... at least at this point in time.

That is exactly what it turned into after I first consulted a lawyer.
Once I was no longer working for four figures per night and my expenses had gone through the roof, I was getting jobs in the low to mid five figure per night. I had to "get smarter." 
NO better way to end a week than when a client decides his promotion did not work well for him and instead of sixty thousand dollars for a week end you come home with forty AND thirty nine or so worth of labor and travel expenses. I needed a lawyer.

Odeon, I forgot you were mentioning that video.

I have mixed feelings about those weapons. I have no need for one, personally.
Now some time back I was an avid hunter. I took my limit of deer every year and got many peccary and feral hogs over the years and I never used something like that.
I do have a semi-auto .223 caliber Ruger Mini 14; still own two of them. Both are scope sighted and have a sling for carry on a trail. The model name was "Ranch Rifle" and it served me well hunting feral hogs and helping out ranchers with feral dog, coyote and wolf packs raiding their barns, stalls and herds.

As far as functionality, they both do the exact same thing as one of those Colt type AR- 15 whatevers they make these days with all the collapsible stocks, pistol grips and multi round magazines, but it was not so scary looking without all that.

In all honesty, once you are out hunting you are generally quite lucky to get a shot or two or maybe three if you are chasing a pack of wild dogs or a herd of feral hogs. You would never need to have a thirty round magazine, so not so scary looking, but the actual more user friendly ranch rifle worked the same.

Usually for deer I used a MUCH more powerful rifle, such as an ancient 30-06 (WWI caliber) or maybe even a 300 Magnum (more modern, very powerful) for places where long shots were the only way to bring down game.

As far as that guy in the vid, he was taunting cops and being an asshole, period!

I have mixed feelings about the Second Amendment.  I am not sure a "well regulated militia" is useful in an all out 21st century war.  But if gun owners were made to belong to a government militia perhaps some of the owners who have antisocial ideas might have their guns taken away.  This assumes every able bodied person (male and female) is in the militia for life. Yes I know this whole paragraph is pie in the sky and would never come to pass.

Because people intent on breaking the law I can see the need for personal guns.  But I am tired of reading of deaths because someone didn't lock up the gun or thought the gun wasn't loaded.  But I also realize that these losses are inherent in gun ownership.

BTW - I have a Ruger that is rusted in the barrel, a rifle and a BB pistol.  I have 2 bullets somewhere in the house and no BBs.  But I love the feeling and weight of the BB pistol in my hand.  You wouldn't believe how many "bad guys" I've killed with it.  Love shooting that gun.    :litigious:

Well, a "well-regulated militia" would be utterly pointless today, wouldn't it? There is no way such a thing could fight the federal government. There might have been some naivety from the founding fathers, or simply that they could not possibly know what was ahead.

But then, they envisioned change, didn't they? An update of the second amendment is long overdue.

I have been rummage sale shopping a bit lately. Found some amazing things, but very little of interest regarding the older record albums I look for.

But I found a Rembrandt. Yep, I recognize the painting, but I can not name it just yet. It is an amazingly detailed "lithograph imprint"  done and hand signed by a printer and dated from 1894, from a printing shop in Ohio.

They asked twenty five cents for it and it was in a shit frame, but the mounting could easily cost a couple of hundred dollars to have done these days.

I tried to tell the guy that this might be worth more than a quarter (I had not yet removed it from the hideous frame and found the printer's proof marks). He told me that everything in that corner is old stuff that won't sell It's all less than a dollar. So, after scrounging through things a bit more, I came up with two middle of the road CDs and gave him ten bucks, "Keep the change."

Anyway, I doubt that a very common "lithe" from that era is actually valuable, it is very cool to see and it holds up quite well under inspection with my 15X photo loupe. The condition is flawless; well protected by the crappy frame someone blessed the thing with.

Chipmunks are kind of like tiny squirrels.

When I was in the States my gf and I stayed in a hotel inside a nature reserve or national park or whatever you guys call it in Virginia. There were chipmunks scurrying around the breakfast dining area picking up scraps. Lots of chipmunks. My gf laughed at me when I called them "midget squirrels" - I don't think I'd even seen a photo of a real chipmunk, so I was only familiar with the cartoon version.

We saw a black bear and some cubs too. Not in the breakfast area though.

I think we re-homed over 30 of them. It worked well, too well. Didn't see ANY for years.

I have many of those damn "grassrats" in the neighborhood, along with raccoons, opossums, hedgehogs and rabbits. Rabbits eat my greens, opossums eat my fruit and tomatoes and grassrats just trash all my potted herbs. Raccoons mostly just dig and go through the garbage, making a big mess AND climbing all over my trellises and running around on the roof at night.
THAT sucks!  :GA:

I recommend a dog. Both my recent dogs have helped tremendously. My last dog was apparently trained to leave rabbits alone. I have seen him just sit quietly watching a family of rabbits ravage my broccoli, but when he stood up out of his crouching, stalking position the rabbits ran like hell!
And even though both the opossums and raccoons were twice his size, he kept them on the run.

My current dog chases everything away. He won't even allow birds to land without engaging chase mode. Not much trouble from invading "pests" this year.

Last year I had my pump pellet guns (I have a pistol which fires sub-sonic and a powerful carbine which fires at speeds well over the speed of sound and will absolutely kill anything on four paws in my neighborhood) loaded and ready most all season after seeing the rabbits just gorging on my salad garden, but when I saw my late chihuahua stalking them and just passively scaring them away, I just felt that it was handled. I never shot one.

Many ignorant people try to keep wild animals as pets and as intelligent as raccoons are they manage to trade their freedom for meal security with people fairly successfully, but they are still "destructive" if not caged most of the time.

Chipmunks are like quarter-sized squirrels. Another wild animal often kept as a pet, sadly. They have to be caged, most of the time. Take them out and play with them, feed them and such, but they generally escape at first opportunity.

The worst are the cockatoos, they destroy anything they can get their beaks on. The kookaburras make me nervous when they hang around the backyard. It'a likely they're looking for their favourite food. Snakes. And most of the snakes around here are deadly fuckers.

Got to admit, if there is a deity, he must have been smoking something pretty potent when he designed the australian continent. Where else would you find something venomous that looks like the bastard child of a beaver and a duck and sex chromosomes that...there aren't even words to describe ? or a snake that looks for all the world like a viper, has mobile fangs like a viper, but is one of the elapids (the death adders), and AFAIK the only jellyfish which have stinging cells not only on the tentacles, but on their bells, as well as delivering venom through the tip of the discharged barbs  of fired nematocysts, akin to a syringe, rather than as most jellyfish do, in which the sting could be better compared to a whip coated in venom (the irukandji if you were wondering, tiny little box jellyfish no bigger than a fingernail, but potentially lethal to humans. Can get right through the stinger-nets used to keep Chironex (the better known box jellyfish, aka the sea-wasp) out, due to the tiny size.

And in a place that seems positively teeming with critters that want to rip your face off, of all the weird surprises, the scorpions, plenty of them, are pretty much harmless.

Well IIRC they have found fossil platypus relatives in argentina, so you are probably at least half right, if not totally, they (or at least, early monotremata) were definitely present on gondwana, prior to the geological splitting of the supercontinent, presumably whilst the arctic was not so cold as it is now (platypus are endotherms, but with a much higher tolerance for cold, and for longer periods than are reptiles)

Its kind of ironic really, about australian life, they have the nastiest of anything, bar spiders (the most venomous, or certainly most dangerous being a far larger relative of the recluse spiders, the genus Sicarius, a similar, powerfully cytotoxic venom based on sphingomyelinase-D, not highly aggressive, at least from reports of those in the exotic pet trade, but lightening quick, and if you DO get bitten, there is absolutely bugger all that can be done, the venom is similar in action to that of the viperine snakes, rotting flesh and causing massive systemic  clotting of the blood, rarely ever come into contact with people so bites are rare, not australian natives, african with one exception, found in south america, but beats the shit out of any ozzy spider for sheer unpleasantness)

But for all the funnelwebs, mouse spiders, taipan, tiger snake,  brown snake etc. and giant centipedes, the place  evolves scorpions  to completely fuck the usual order of things where scorpions are concerned. They tend to take two overall 'design patterns', either with delicate, thin claws and correspondingly, with less physical strength and durability, evolve much more potent venom (E.g deathstalkers and many other Buthids, as well as Hemiscorpius, (H.lepturus in particular), which unusually for a  non-Buthid scorpion, has extremely potent venom, and again unusual, its a cytotoxic, necrotizing type venom, almost all scorpions relying on neurotoxic cocktails in their stings), the other option being scorpions with massive claws, built to smash and crush, and physically rip their prey apart, like the big hefty imperial scorpion, venom no worse than a bee sting reportedly, but with claws  like boxing gloves, so they don't really need potent venom.

Ozzy scorpions seem to have a mix of both, but all, but all of them seem to have pretty weak venom, even the australian Buthidae (almost all clinically dangerous scorpions are Buthids, Hemiscorpius being the main exception, with H.lepturus of iran, causing over 80% of fatalities due to scorpion sting, which is quite something considering the other main dangerous scorpion common to the area being Androctonus crassicauda, one of the deadly fat-tailed scorpions [note-Parabuthus spp. are also known as fat-tailed scorpions, but are only related due to being both members of the Buthidae family, and unlike Androctonus, Parabuthus can fire venom from the sting, like the arachnid equivalent of spitting cobras, although perhaps more akin to the mangshan viper, which doesn't direct the venom with the great accuracy of cobras, more flinging or flicking it towards the target]

Spare a thought for the first Aboriginies that arrived in Australia. Faced with the megalania, likely apex predator or really big scavenger, like a Komodo dragon but several times the size. And the marsupial lion, with far more powerful front limbs and jaws than an African lion but without the speed. An ambush predator. The Aboriginies were still telling stories about them when the whites arrived but for many years they were thought to be urban myths (drop bears and giant goannas the size of cars).

The common snake in my neighbourhood is the brown snake. 2nd most venomous snake on Earth, injects enough venom with one bite to kill a quarter million mice. The most venomous is the inland taipan, which injects enough venom to kill a million mice. The extreme venom toxicity of Aussie snakes is apparently due to their prey being primarily reptiles for millions of years during which those reptiles developed stronger and stronger immunity and so the snakes needed to evolve stronger and stronger venom. A cold blooded arms race of sorts.

Here in Sydney we have the funnel web spider. I used to scoop those off the bottom of our pool when I was a kid and poke them with a stick to make sure they were dead. Of course they never were, even after 2 or 3 days underwater. And they'd adopt the striking pose and I'd leave them be. Stepping on a funnel web only pisses them off more.

Blue ringed octopi are common here as well. One of those little fuckers bites you and they shut down all voluntary muscle function while you are fully conscious with your eyes wide open. So you stop breathing and die. Standard first aid is to simply keep air moving through the lungs. The venom doesn't break down tissue or cause organ failure.

Never seen a blue ringed octopus in person, but the pictures and clips make them look amazing, the rings flashing on and off all over their body as they move. Did you know they don't produce their own venom? its the same toxin, a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker called tetrodotoxin, originally recognized in puffer fish (order Tetraodontiformes, hence the name), (in)famous for the japanese 'fugu' sushi, that knocks off a few diners a year from either eating too much, or eating it when it has been prepared with insufficient caution (the TTX within puffer fish is not evenly distributed, primarily within the skin, liver and innards, less in the flesh, but its still there)

Also found in some Amphibians (fire-bellied newts, genus Taricha, people have died from swallowing one of these little critters in the US as a stupid dare. Serves them right if you ask me. Also found in certain toads, of the genus Atelopus)


Hey, since you are local to the right area, could make a little cash (come to an agreement if your up for catching the little devils) I've been very interested in getting a new pet, and of the three candidates, a mouse spider (genus Missulena, not the araneomorph by the same name.) is high on the list, but I've never seen them for the 'unusual' pet trade, the other two ideas either being a Parabuthus scorpion, or more widows. Successfully bred brown widows (Latrodectus geometricus, native to the US, was rather surprised to find one in my kitchen one night. And it wasn't a mis-ID either, because the little bitch bit me once and I got what for. They usually aren't pissy, but this one had just laid egg sacks, one of which hatched, the other...ugh, I hardly like to think about what happened to them, all of them. Fucking butchered by the pigs after an illegal raid on the place. MICROWAVED for fucks sake.)

And I've been pet-less ever since. More ideal keeping animals here that can't wander. At least, not outside of known areas, so another cat isn't really practical, not a dog person, and either of them could  knock over something either valuable, or full of something that would harm or kill them, or lose me a lot of money, so another invertebrate pet is ideal.

Which area of aus. are you from? if you don't want to give a personal location, I don't even mean city, just general territory or compass direction, to get an idea of whats out there. I have something specific in mind, ever see M.occatoria round your area? large mygalomorph, quite distinctive, legs similar to Atrax or Hadronyche, and not dissimilar in build, indeed M.bradleyi, could be easily enough taken for a stockily built funnelweb. And rather oddly, the venom in the family, or the active primary component to it, missulenatoxin acts similarly to robustoxin/atraxotoxin from the funnelwebs and Hadronyche, its SO similar, despite them not being in the same family, that Atrax/Hadronyche antivenin is crossreactive with mouse spider venom. The males are the ones liable to be seen, as they are active hunters. Real good looking critters, bright red chelicera and just behind, and a metallic cobalt blue abdomen. The females are unlikely to be found unless actively searched for, as they spend most of their life in a burrow, like a trapdoor spider.

NOT one to get bitten by, if you are willing to keep an eye out while your out, as I mentioned, venom is pretty similar to funnelweb venom, although they are less likely to bite, and if they do, much more prone to giving a 'warning' dry-bite. Any export permits, I'd pay for of course.

Other potential pets...all seem to be arachnids  for some reason, most of the land-bound families are interesting, although some are either impractical to keep, like the Solifugae  (aka 'camel spiders' although they aren't spiders, impressive looking, but apparently incredibly hard to keep alive in captivity, possibly due to an insanely high metabolic rate, not surprising given the speed of the things, and that, lacking venom, they depend on a combination of speed and the 8-legged equivalent of a face made out of bolt-cutters. Not dangerous to people, but all the same, I'd not want to try keeping one, if expert arachid-keepers can't keep them alive for more than months.)

And (tail-less) whipscorpions are kind of appealing too, quite harmless, aside from being able to give a nip with fairly large chelicera, or swiping with their spiked, mantis-like claws. Aside from the vinegaroons/tailed whipscorpions, scorpions, and those whaddyacallem.....spider-shaped creatures...nonvenomous, mygalomorph spider type build, and very, very primitive, still bearing the abdominal segmentation as a vestige of evolutionary divergence of spiders and scorpions, the rest of the family, excluding harvestmen, you'd never see them kept as a pet, or else if you do, you don't want to (ticks...ew. I'm an animal lover alright, but ticks? even a tick's own mother couldn't love one)

Lestat, I am in the Sydney area. I have never seen a mouse spider or a funnel web around my house. We have sandy soil which they don't seem to like. Apparently there are scorpions around here, though I've never seen one.

Funnel web spiders are aggressive, whereas mouse spiders are the opposite. The only case I've heard of someone being bitten was a toddler who thought one she found in the kitchen was a toy, and she was holding it and playing with it. There is no mouse spider anti venom... they used funnel web anti venom and it took a lot more anti venom to save her than it would to save someone from a funnel web bite.

The only reason that there aren't a lot more funnel web bites in Sydney is that they can't climb walls or even steps. So if you have even a single front step you're good. If you live above the ground floor you're good.

I used to get scorpions in my ground floor flat. They scared me but I used to trap them and drop them over the fence where there was bushland.

Only other thing to be really careful about was/is redback spiders. They like to hide in dark places so lifting anything outside that's been there for a while is risky. Best to have gardening gloves on.

I bet most large mygalomorphs, could do it with a run-up. I don't recall any first-hand accounts of them getting that pissy, but they have the build, and some of the stories I've read from a guy who kept/keeps Phoneutria (brazillian wandering spiders) were pretty hairy. Would go absolutely psychotic, at least the adults, and apparently used to throw themselves up the walls of the glass tank, only to fail because the tank was taller than their momentum could carry them.

I wouldn't worry too much about redbacks Ren, you REALLY have to piss them off for them to bite you. Maybe your local ones are a bit hairy just for well, living there, but Latrodectus spiders, any of 'em, aren't vicious. And not fast enough to do a runner, tiny, araneomorph fangs that won't penetrate much in the way of a barrier between them and the bare skin either. And you aren't likely to die either, not since the development of antisera to the venom.

Hurts like a bitch though. Effect is sort of comparable to nerve agents, although the latter block degradation of normally released acetylcholine, alpha-latrotoxin from Latrodectus spp. venoms causes a huge flood-like release of the neurotransmitter without, AFAIK inhibiting cholinesterases, but the end results are pretty similar. At least on the 'not dead' end of the scale. I've been gotten by both, the anticholinesterase being of plant origin, and fuck me, both feel pretty much identical, in the case of what you could describe as a 'mild' poisoning from a nerve agent (anticholinesterase, they block the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, a parasympathetic neurotransmitter, causing fluid hypersecretion from anywhere that can leak fluid, and several bits that aren't really intended to, as well directly causing godawful muscle spasms.)

I don't blame my former pet for doing it mind you, most new mothers are arses in the animal kingdom.
Probably why I was bitten, she'd just laid egg sacks. Can't be fun popping something huge out of a tiny hole, no matter how you want to swing that one. Two legs or four, or eight, one just comes with more biting than swearing. Otherwise, not much different.

My father used to get bitten by redbacks on a fairly regular basis. Poor redbacks never survived the venom.

Actually he appeared to have built up a resistance to the venom, or he wasn't particularly susceptible. The burning sensation would keep him awake at night afterwards though.

Lestat, yes, I'm pretty sure a motivated funnel web could leap up a step. But they are not climbers, not like a big hairy huntsman spider that will scurry up your walls and across your ceiling.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on July 22, 2018, 05:47:40 AM
At least if it does, its a lot less to worry about.  I'd far sooner have a huntsman spider drop on my face than a funnel-web thats for sure. If I had to have either, that is. I have had an octopus stuck on my face though. Funny as hell, went scuba diving in turkey on holiday, turned over this large sea snail shell to take a look at the inhabitant, thinking 'harmless and tame enough' (a generic large snail, not the highly dangerous cone-snails, although I probably still have a Conus shell that I found walking along a beach (dried out, and very, very carefully examined to ensure it didn't have a living critter in there, if you aren't familiar, they have an extrusible proboscis that they hunt with, using a venomous tethered dart, a highly modified radular tooth, and in the case of some of the deadlier and larger species, such as Conus textile, the tens to perhaps a couple of hundred microliters of venom injected per tooth, which they can shoot in any direction, is enough to kill several adult humans, one of them, not sure which species, resulted in the development of a radically effective new painkiller, derived from one of the conotoxins, a non-opiate, called ziconotide [brand name 'prialt', might sound a bit gay but I suppose its better than telling people 'hold still, we are going to inject snail loogie into your spinal canal'] thats some 10,000x the potency of morphine.

Only problem is, being a peptide, and behaving as peptides often do, it isn't bioavailable orally, and has to be given via an implanted spinal pump. So not making it as a mainstream go-to yet in that specific incarnation.

Building up a resistance to repetitive injection of a venom is how antisera are raised, as the venoms of many animals are peptidic or large proteins in nature, not counting low molecular weight 'additives' designed to cause local pain and elicit defensive  withdrawal of a threat, such as serotonin, noradrenaline and the like.  And its often a vastly complex system of complimentary toxins with synergistic properties, and to serve as a sort of chemical swiss army knife, for taking down prey, some to paralyze it, some fatal via various means, some creatures also injecting proteases to break the prey's insides down to soup. Across the funnelwebs alone, (Atrax, Hadronyche, Illawarra) there are something like 400 different peptidic components of the venoms, in the males, and twice that diversity in females.

For all their nasty potential, theres an awful lot of things we have yet to discover and apply to medicine. For example, ever heard of a scorpion known as the deathstalker? (Leiurus quinquestriatus, and the name is applied to others in the genus Leiurus, found in iraq, iran, and likely as not in what we may as well rename 'wemadeahelluvamess-o-potamia') Notorious for being perhaps the most deadly scorpion out there, in terms of the venom potency (although I'd still rather be stung by it than Hemiscorpius, at least for survivors, they come out in the same shape, and having the same number of bodyparts as when they arrived at a hospital), theres a compound in the venom, called chlorotoxin, which selectively binds to malignant glioma cells, one of the nastiest cancers of the brain going.

I can see things we could do with it, potentially, or something designed via computational chemistry to calculate both the amino-acid residues involved in that binding, and in its action as a toxin, and attach some sort of radioisotope to it, say, tag it with either a radioisotope designed to function as a unit, like modern MAB therapies with high specific binding to the target alone, and deliver radiotherapy less like a baseball bat and more like a laser scalpel, or else radiolabelled with a positron-emitting isotope, say, fluorine 18, decaying almost entirely via positron emission (with a branch chain of 3% for electron capture), and short half-life, with fluorine often functioning as a bioisostere for a hydrogen atom due to its small atomic radius, why bombard the patient with external radiation, when you can deliver it right to the doorstep of your target as a letterbomb, rather than trying to swat flies with a tactical nuke?

As far as climbing goes, presumably that only goes for Atrax, and the terrestrial Hadronyche species? not sure about Illawarra, as the genus was only recently discovered, and assigned to within the Atraxinae clade (Hadronyche, Atrax and Illawarra, but not Missulena, surprisingly enough) Some of the funnelwebs are arboreal. So presumably they have to be good enough to climb non-smooth surfaces?

Post by: Minister Of Silly Walks on July 22, 2018, 06:10:02 AM
Deathstalker. Yes, I've heard of those. Kind of an apt name.

Sydney Funnel Webs are ground dwellers and poor climbers. I didn't know there were arboreal funnel webs. I would guess that the "poor climber" tag really only applies to the ground dwelling funnel webs.

Huntsman spiders creep me out. They are active hunters and they are big and fast. Fast enough to catch roaches. Arachnophobia is a fairly normal state for Aussies, at least those of us who grew up with parents and teachers constantly warning us that spiders would kill us. A lot of people actually believe that huntsman spiders are not venomous. Which is nonsense, of course. Their bite has about the same potency as a bee sting. I've seen people pick them up and play with them in the belief that they won't bite. And even when provoked they won't bite unless you virtually force them to. If one dropped on your face you'd be safe as houses.

LMAO.  Oh boy, am I gonna have a fun time if ever I get to meet you Ren....

That said, compared to most women (not intended in a sexist manner, you know I've more respect for you than that. Just not quite enough not to prank you with large, if harmless, big hairy spiders if there were an opportunity...well I do respect you tons, but I'd still drop a wolf spider down the back of your neck...at least, if I could be sure of it's safety, having a body with your skeleton on the outside makes for dropping being rather worse than with it on the inside. )

And MOSW-yes, Atrax is the genus commonly most encountered, I'd imagine, the sydney funnelweb being the most (in)famous member, Hadronyche are, afaik more rural, or at least, preferring either dense cover, some being raptorial ground-favouring hunters, but several of them are arboreal. Hadronyche spp. have a pretty similar venom to funnelwebs, different in that it doesn't apparently contain atraxotoxin, but produces a similar effect. That alone doesn't say much, as so do the scorpion alpha-toxins, plenty nasty little venomous things out there that target the inactivation kinetics of voltage-gated sodium channels on nerves, causing sustained, repetitive firing, but that funnelweb antivenin is polyvalent against Hadronyche and Missulena, is extremely suggestive of strutural homology, as antibodies recognize target structures, rather than modes of action, but a sufficiently similar antibody/substrate pair can mismatch, giving rise to the likes of crossreactive antivenin and indeed, as much disease as cure, targeting our own body, autoantigens as they are known, self-produced antibodies directed at a target and missing by a hair, or finding its target expresses the same protein as performs a useful function.

The latter case, for example has a fascinating manifestation, in females, usually, due to ovarian teratomas, in anti-NMDAr encephalitis, an autoimmune attack directed against NMDA-type ionotropic glutamate receptors, which are involved heavily in learning and memory, in a process known as long-term potentiation, when in the brain, where they are meant to be. The tumor expresses NMDA receptors, and an autoantibody is formed directed against the aberrant tissue type, but due to NMDA receptors being a vital primary part of the central nervous system (blockade of NMDA receptors is responsible for, for example, the dissociative effects of nitrous oxide/laughing gas, alcohol (sedative effects primarily being caused by GABAa receptor agonism), and by  PCP, ketamine , direct agonists being less well known, as the ionotropic glutamate receptors aren't places you want excess stimulation going on, in each case, be it NMDARs, AMPA receptors or KA (kainate) receptors, the result is ugly, hyperexcitation leading to selective death of cell populations. In the case of NMDARs, agonists, such as ibotenic acid, the unstable toxin in fly agaric mushrooms which decarboxylates to form a psychotropic GABAa orthosteric (orthosteric binding is binding competitively with the native ligand for a binding site, as opposed to allosteric binding sites, which occupy an alternative site, on a receptor protein complex and influence say, the gating kinetics of ion channels is common, with classic examples being muscimol, the decarboxylation product of ibotenic acid, turning it from nasty ass neurotoxin used to lesion animal brains in fucked up studies, to a sacrament, in some cultures, muscimol induces a weird, dissociated deep-sleep like trance state, after an initial excitatory state characterized by muscular twitching, and while asleep, it causes visions, of a sort somewhat resembling zolpidem/ambien, although different, with muscimol competing for GABA at the receptor binding site, whilst both zolpidem, or benzodiazepines, barbiturates, along with endogenous neurosteroids and the active sedative in valerian root, all label different binding sites, although its somewhat different with zolpidem and its relatives, in that they are subtype-selective binders to the benzodiazpine-sensitive, picrotoxin-insensitive site.)

Anyhow, as a result of these tumours, there's an autoantibody formed, directed at NMDA receptors, and it causes both a brain inflammation, as well as delirious dissociative effects such as would characterise a huge OD of ketamine or PCP in many respects.

I've seen that picture before, I think. Or at least a similar one, quite incredible how such a tiny creature can capture and overpower a snake without itself being flattened in the process, and how the silk can hold its weight. IIRC the pic I'm thinking of wasn't a redback, can't have been, there are no bright green, highly arboreal snakes in aus, are there? I think it was a boomslang, one of the few colubrids (rear-fanged snakes) venomous enough to take out a human, as boomslang snakes, along with twig snakes (Theletornis) are relatively primitive, having fangs at the rear of the jaw, so can't strike as efficiently as an elapid or viper, but these two species at least, possess a potent haemolytic venom, but in the picture, one was dead as doornails, trussed up like a fucking xmas turkey, after being bitten by some or other african Latrodectus.

And for such a fragmentary, messy web (this, it seems is characteristic of widow spiders in general, messy, unpatterned or woven intermeshed fibers strung from branches, its perfect for them and seems to be a favoured site for nesting.) its bloody strong.

Not here, but when I was a kid in south Texas, we had massive flocks of wild parrots come down on gardens at night. Most gardens were fine, but mine was a target because of all the fruit trees. I had several kinds of citrus, fig, peach, avocado, pepper, banana and various nut trees.

They were beautiful, but a flock of them would destroy a year's worth of work in just a few nights.

I am thinking sadness.

Back last winter I went to a funeral for a twin brother of a woman I have known for about ten years. Had known him as well for about eight years when he died. We all met because of our involvement in local charities.
About a year ago, I, she and her twin brother ended up together working a  "thing"  and for the first time, I really got to known him.
I considered them both to be "friends."

She told me that day that, together they were more than two, but apart, she was less than one. I argued. I told her that the reason they are so powerful together is that they are BOTH awesome. Whatever. I am not so good at that stuff.

Ran into her today for the first time since the funeral. Just a timing thing. We are both still doing what we did before we met, but today she was different.
Jawdroppingly so!

I had no idea but she is in a major funk. I had no clue as to what to do. Her earlier statement made sense now. She is now about six months into living with the loss of her twin brother.

At a loss to help, I started talking about the difficulties I have been having with my son lately and invited her to dinner this week. She perked up a bit at the prospect of having found another youngster to mentor.

I originally called her an idiot for her profound statement about more than two together and less than one apart, but now I see it and I am at a loss to know how to help her through this impossible funk.

Redbacks are the Aussie equivalent of the black widow spider.

Widow spiders span the globe with each region having it's own species.

I know you are right, but let us all take a minute and "realize" that every corner  (Am I the only one to ever think that terminology was weird?)  of the spherical globe we live in has Rednecks. There are rednecks everywhere!


(Fuck, since I started thinking about weird stuff again, What about Mr. World who wears glasses and yet, he has no eyes?  Or how about that commercial that want to make us all go "Ga Ga"  over how clever they are to have found something in a jelly fish that is suppposed to help our brain function - really!! Something to help my brain that is extracted from a life form that has never evolved a brain? No!)

I really try to get spiders out of my house where they can do some good, but if they give me the least amount of shit, I just kill them. I really like spiders, even dangerous ones, but I am in charge of who and/or what lives inside my humble home.

I have many, many, many close up pictures of various spiders. As a micro-photography enthusiast (years ago) I would capture and set up tiny "ecoscapes"  that made sense and photograph our little "friends"  as I incessantly tortured them to death with my camera equipment.

Now they live forever (well at least as long a Kodachrome lasts), instead of just a few months.

Do not forget about "fiddle back spiders."  Here we have about ten or so species of "TeH"  dangerous fiddle back spider, ALL related to the dreaded Loxoscelese reclusa (sorry, I had to look up how to spell Loxoscelese - most geeks here know what it is, but I am geeklite and Google is way too easy) but only the ACTUAL one is deadly. All are quite poisonous, but only L. reclusa can inflict a life threatening bite.

Most of the spiders around here who leave random webs all over our house during the night are fiddle back spiders, but they are completely safe.
They can get scary big, but even then, their cousin is the one to dread.

... and as noted before we all ingest several spiders each year during our sleep from simply sleeping with our mouths open or snoring and such. Our spider neighbors are simply seeking out water and smell it on out breath at night, venture in too close and our swallow/choke reflex takes over and the spider often can not escape, so down the hatch it goes, creepy legs and all.

It has also been studied and found true that anywhere on this planet one is never more than four (or three or six, depending upon the study) feet from a spider.
I feel it is probably four feet, in my experience.

Sorry, I did not give your girls the respect they deserve, but, YEAH!

Ours here are shiny black and have the typical central USA red-orange hourglass on their sexy belly undersides. Never put your bare hand into a place that has not seen daylight in a week or so. NEVER!.
You just might find one of these quick moving ladies. Rarely deadly, but very annoying if bitten - months of recovery.

Their super shiny exoskeleton is very difficult to photograph with typical equipment. You will have to use something like a four inch softbox. That would be like photographing your shiny Corvette with a hundred foot soft light source. :zombiefuck:

LOL, I think the windowcleaners doing their rounds, a younger lad and  a somewhat older man, both got rather a shock, when I had to go out into the garden, and exit through the open french windows, whilst in somewhat unconventional attire.....

(https://s8.postimg.cc/pme0y8vdx/selfie.jpg)


I  heard 'mornin'', and replied myself, good morning to you too, but in a thick, muffled sort of tone, interspersed with a noise sounding like 'Hk-HEEERRRRHHHHHHH--PHTTT.....Hk-HEERRRRHHHH-PPPhhT-click', inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, click, whoosh, click, whoosh', pretty much like darth vader, minus the really low booming voice coming out of a speaker, as  I had to speak from behind the gas mask and visor, a selfie (metadata stripped, so any pork, don't bother), giving a cheery 'good morning' from behind the whispering rush of breathable atmosphere and the Ft-Ka-SHHHH-PHHtK--oh, mornin' mate--- Ft-Ka-SHHHH-PHHHTkTK'

I don't think they were expecting that for some reason, with me walking out into the garden bearing a small, one-hand-portable bottle with very thick walls, a darkened, somewhat corroded label heavy with brown staining, and which had a teflon cap, teflon compression seal built into the bottom of the inside of the cap, and a heavy wrapping of teflon tape round the neck of the glass, held both at arms length, but with great care, in a hand buried beneath first elbow-length butyl rubber gauntlets, a pair of nitrile surgical gloves over the top, and finally thick fabric gloves over those, by a pale figure, all dressed in black, wearing a black, full-length leather trenchcoat tied at the waste with a leather sash, used like an apron.

Heading out with the bottle, doing some things they probably could only see as 'attending on a large glass flask full of liquid, having a drying tube in between the outlet, and a long horizontal column containing some grown bright, near-translucentish orange crystalline material,with a condenser on the end of that, capped with a glass plug made to match, and conspicuously large zones covered in teflon. Whilst seeing me having to pick a clip off the interface between horizontal column of searingly bright orange crystals, of a pumpkin sort of hue, being about to open the little heavyset, toughened bottle, but seeing people enter at the other end of the garden, having to make certain everything was closed, just as quickly, due to the contents of either bottle or column with its brilliant pumpkin orange glowy crystal formations, under it's chlorine gas and argon mixed atmosphere not being either of them anything one would wish to breath in the vapours of, not even in tiny traces.

And then seeing me have to pluck off and discard the friable chunky bits left of a stainless steel and a plastic glassware anchoring keck clip pair, the stainless etched, pitted, corroded and deeply stained, dark and blistered.

I have always wondered what kind of issues might make someone one tend to "self identify" as anything, but choosing to self identify as a punk snowflake might just invite pity. Since you have already identified yourself as a punk snowflake, then no judgement is necessary.

After trying to stay healthy, taking all the vitamins minerals and so forth, one wonders if something to enhance other areas is in order.

A possible problem comes to mind, though. Since I took all that iron building up my blood and all, if I take Viagra, will I just start pointing and only be able to fuck north?
Troubling!

For you Al I guess you would only be able to fuck south.

Honestly, the big benefit might be if I took my Viagra before bedtime, it might keep me from rolling out of bed so often.

I have spent the day with my turntable, except for just a few moments to post a bit.

It all started with my efforts to streamline our garage space (about forty thousand dollars worth of professional sound reinforcement gear which I am still looking for ways to donate to our local community) which I have been working toward for months (OK, so I also played with my dog for a while, several times I love that little guy. What a dog!) and I am making great progress. Never allowed my workbench to get buried, but much of the floor space (another one of those word usage things that continues to freak me out.  A floor is a two dimensional area - thay call that area, right -  and space represents at least three dimensions, if not way more. So floor space -  shit I want one!!   ... but mine is yet two dimensional and kind of suxkors for it small size) is taken up by "things"  for which I no longer have a use like computer stuff from the turn of the century. never ever going to try to restart an XP device, seriously.

I know they still work, but my phone is just about as powerful and if I needed to, I could Bluetooth shit without the ancient computer thingies.

But that is NOT the point.


I found two early Moody Blues albums, one a live album, that I had completely forgotten that I had. I kind of just HAD to clean them up and play them.
Now, I am in serious Moody Blues mode or mood or whatever we might call it.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have about eight thousand LPs wrapped in aging trash bags, all lined up like soldiers standing at attention stored in my garage "area" (actually they do take up space so I run out of this resource quickly when I store albums in this "space" - worrying) and I literally have almost no idea, NO idea as to the contents.  When LPs became useless to most I bought every fucking thing I could find that was in decent shape, including these Moody Blues albums. So many!!

I only have room for about three hundred albums where my two main turntables live. SO, trying to find a decent way to access all the otheralbums is one of my new projects. Right now and I see no way to change this, since I live with a fabulous woman, I have to rotate things in and out of my "Instant access" closet space that holds about five hundred more.
The mass of my collection is still in the garage.
I have them stored, safe and dust-free, but they are only barely organized. I have enough shelves, an entire wall of my over sized two car garage, but I want to create ""cabinets" with doors so I can get rid of the "dust -safe" giant garbage bags and actually get them all in alphabetical order.

Instead of occasionally breaking open a sealed bag looking for something I know I have and discovering a treasure that I had forgotten about owning, I want to peruse all my treasures and decide from a whim which I want to re-discover whenever I have the time.

Last bag I busted open I found four Ray Charles albums I had forgotten I owned. I do not want that to ever happen again. I want everything organized. I have waited long enough for this. Now that I am retired, surely, SURELY I can manage to get this done.

I would try to get them into shelves or cedar chests. I had a bunch wrapped up like that and thought I was safe. Then a hose popped off the washer and flooded the adjoining room, my mom didn't mention it until a week later. All it takes is a pinhole. Lost about a 1\4 of them, decided to just sell all the rest...or so I thought.

Actually found 3 Elvis lp's  hanging around the other day that somehow missed the boat. Haven't had a record player in over 10 years now. My dad collected most of the Elvis...and Hendrix. :laugh:

Bad luck with the pipe.
Mine are already in shelves, but I want to enclose the shelves to make usable cabinets. 

Mine are in the only place in our home that has no plumbing, so that is not an issue. My biggest concern is this summer has been so flipping HOT! I know that vinyl deteriorates in heat more quickly than than it should. I have Cds out there as well, but honestly CDs seem to be more directly affected by light itself, the actual thing that makes them work. So, I am not so worried about the CDs wrapped up in black plastic.

Our garage is insulated, but during the hot days, even the vents only barely keep it cool. I just have no place safe to store this many albums.
Great to discover your Elvis hidden treasures. You can get a half decent turntable for around one hundred fifty dollars that, when set up properly, it will not destroy your albums. I will not recommend one of those little all in one things.

An interesting two hours, just now.

A "friend" called last night after finding an cool thing at an estate auction - it is what he does. He wanted to come by and show me something he had never seen before. Honestly, I had never seen one either.

About the time my wife was trying to get her gear together and get to work, he shows up. So there were some greetings and pleasantries to accomplish.

Finally he ran back to his truck and brought out this custom, handmade wooden case with an eight string viola inside. It was all acoustic and had never been modified for electric use. I had never seen anything like it.

He wanted my assessment. I had no idea how to even try to tune it, so I went on line and found a number of eight string tunings to try. I could tell by just inspecting it that it was very well constructed. AND the hand carved case!! WOW, it was kind of unique.

The strings were horrid and needed to be changed, but once we got close to "in tune" it had a very warm throaty sound.
I am still amazed!

I showed him a website belonging to luthier in Nashville who might be able to help him assess its value. It was well beyond my experience.

When I was a kid we had a very old upright piano.

The keys were made from real ivory. Other old pianos normally had keys made from bone. The keys were in perfect condition, the rest of the piano.... not so much.

Our piano teacher hated the piano and spent years trying to convince us to buy a new one. Which we eventually did.

I sometimes wonder whether those keys would have been worth a bit of money to someone looking to restore an old piano. We gave that piano to my sister's best friend and her parents traded it in on a new piano a few years later while she was overseas.


My wife has an electric piano (nothing fancy) somewhere around the house. She refuses to get it out of storage as she really likes our upright acoustic piano and thinks I should play that instead. Except that the upright acoustic piano was kept under a leaky air conditioner for years and the keys are shot, the action is shot, the sound isn't that good, it's out of tune.

I have a friend that is a fair savant at classical piano. She's quite amazing although last time I visited her place, the piano was out of tune and so she wouldn't play it. I wonder how much it costs to get someone to come and tune it and how hard it is.

My friend got to meet the famous pianist, David Helfgott recently.

I'll bet you wouldn't even be able to tell that it's out of tune.

My grandfather was a musical savant. He learned to read music and play the piano by watching his aunts play in the orchestra pits at the silent movies (where it was his job to turn the pages). He was a professional musician all his life. I would guess he was hyperlexic as well. He did 2 round-the-world tours as part of a band, the first in 1923.

Something not many people know - I used to play the trumpet for two years in primary school. So I learnt to read music pretty well. I rarely practiced because Mum didn't like the noise yet I still managed to keep up with lessons every week. I also played in the school band. I enjoyed that.

I'd like to think I could tell if a piano is out of tune but I haven't heard one that I know of.

If your friend is a savant then a slightly out-of-tune piano may sound horrible to her. To most of us, being a bit out of tune just gives a piano a bit of character. Maybe if someone played scales on the piano you could tell if it is slightly out of tune.

Nothing to do with being a savant. If you have perfect pitch, you will hear that the piano is out of tune. It's not necessarily horrible, it's just not right.

And yes, I have perfect pitch.

If you remember the piano that Ray Charles played in The Blues Brothers, that is what an out-of-tune piano sounds like to me.

Maybe not ideal for playing Beethoven, but fine for blues or jazz or similar.

It's a bit of a pain when buying music on vinyl. The slightest misalignment of the centre will result in an audible wobble. CDs are better in that respect but some things mastered on tape can produce the same effect.

Oh, I definitely heard tapes out of tune. I grew up in the tape era and often received them for birthdays or Christmas. Old tapes would sound wrong to me.

I still play CDs in my car. It has a 15 years old CD player in it that still plays perfectly.

Except that the upright acoustic piano was kept under a leaky air conditioner for years and the keys are shot, the action is shot, the sound isn't that good, it's out of tune.

In my father's work he had many contacts, including an old guy who restored pianos and basically all mechanical key operated instruments.

When I first met him he was restoring the steam operated huge leather bellows that powered a pipe organ from the 1800s in a massive Catholic Church. All the steam parts were just fine after one hundred or so years, but the twelve foot tall leather bellows had developed holes and no longer worked properly.
From his description and my only trip with him, one had to arrive at the church five hours before services to start a boiler which simply operated a single steam piston engine in a separate building. Once the steam engine was going you could begin to operate the bellows, which fed pressure into another massive air-tight part of the remote building. All the pressure was then sent  a room sized "manifold" which THEN powered the pipes of the organ.

It was one of those days when I had my camera around my neck, but I was too astounded by my surroundings to take a moment to snap pics.
Anyway, on that day this old salty fellow taught me how to tell the difference between real ivory keys, which this old pipe organ had, and the two odd keys that had been replaced with probably bovine bone in the past.

Back to the point: The real ivory keys show a circular grain structure, while the cheap replacement cowbone keys had a linear grain structure.

I can tell you if it was real ivory those keys would still be worth their weight in gold.

My "friend" got an immediate response to his first email to the guys in Nashville.

I had instructed him to take as many pics as possible, trying to get some light inside to reveal the bracing structure of the instrument. Details on the carving might be helpful, but they needed to see how it was built. I figured that if there was any interest they would ask for pics.

According to him, four emails in two hours and all his pics later, they say it might not be a viola, despite the fact it looks like a huge violin on the outside. It is probably a lute, not a viola.

Kind of a few popcorn days here and more to come, apparently.

Of course there is the old joke about the world famous French pianist who had hired the world famous Greek piano tuner, Opernockady to tune his huge grand piano before a performance. Being dissatisfied with Opernockady's work the touchy French piano virtuoso insisted that he re-do his tuning.
After some discussion, the world famous piano tuner refuses and finally shouts, "OPERNOCKADY ONLY TUNES ONCE!!"
 :autism:

Piano tuning is not so difficult as it is time consuming.

It can be quite expensive to have someone come to your house to begin, then require silence and some time to do a decent job.
The other concern is on an older piano, the strings might be pure shit and may not be capable of being tuned.

I do not have perfect pitch, but as an experienced "listener"  I can certainly tell when anything is out of tune.

As a rock sound guy, I got into more "fights"  (meaning hissy fits from others) trying to convince drummers that their drums were interfering with the bass. I had to actually show them how just a nip or a tuck here or there on their kit would make all the drum/bass accents just pound!!   ... whereas, without the tuning the drums would actually KILL the accent they were working toward.

Very troubling, indeed!!

I have heard reports of these things randomly going into incidental burst mode and releasing more than one straw per trigger press. Something must be done!

UPDATE:
Latest reports show that as they begin to fail they can often become jammed and the operator must cycle the trigger mechanism a number of times to clear a jam. No accounting as to how much damage is done by each successive trigger press, releasing multiple straws as the jam is being cleared.

Another note, the press has adopted a more descriptive nomenclature to describe this dangerous assault device, also noting the incredibly large capacity for its repeat use:
This is more properly called a Fully Semi-Automatic Assault Straw Dispenser.

Think every autism community has some parents who extremely suffer because of their children not being tekstbiok average children. Those people flock together. That leaves lots of space where they don't gather. There will probably be groups in the autism community where you would fit in and would feel at home. There are more people on the spectrum avoiding the "SUFFERING" parents like the plague.

Way back before I even had read enough to know what a pervasive developmental disorder was, I had my kid (son, now nineteen) "looked at" by two "professionals"  one of which suggested that he be properly "evaluated"  which represents the use a nonspecific term that would not get her into trouble if we pitched a fucking hissy fit about somebody saying that our son was not quite "stacked up right."
He did not interact with the other kids.

We could see that our son is who he is and smarter than an atomic whip, taught himself to read out of an an alphabet book when he was eighteen months old, phonetically, because I told him that not only did letters have names but they made sounds like animals do. A week later he was sounding out any grouping of letters he saw and NO ONE would believe us!!!

Anyway after showing this to the only one who suggested that our son be evaluated, she was ready to endanger her career and suggest a child psychologist to us.
Our reading and advanced education regarding the spectrum began that night after the first interview. That was in 2002.

Fast forward about a month and my wife and I are sitting in on a meeting of very sad parents who just want a cure and all have stories of how they are almost "there"  and other ridiculous crap. It was supposed to be supportive to all the newcomers like us, but we both just saw a bunch of pie in the sky, rose colored glasses types who were grasping at any straw that did not break when they placed their hopes in it.

Never went back to those people.

18 months old is very impressive. I'd probably be skeptical if I hadn't experienced similar with my son, although a little later (21 months).

I was trying to get him to shit in the toilet, instead of a diaper. Only thing I could think of to promote this "new" idea was to sit there with him with his favorite books until some "business" was done, evidenced by his turn of attention and his expressions.

He just did all the reading things on his own after I started with the sounds that letters make were like the sounds that animals make. He would not let me stop talking about the sounds that letters can make until we had gotten all the way through the alphabet in the first sitting.

Now the potty training took a few more tries.

On another note his little sister required no potty training at all. She just decided to shit in the toilet one day and away we went.

Oh, she was around eighteen months old and my wife and I were talking about it being about time to potty train her and looking at each other and so on.







 Want another unbelievable story about an autistic genius?

My daughter did not talk until she was almost four years old, but she was smart in other ways.
She would point (a very specialized talent that my brilliant son did not understand fully until he was about twelve years old) and grunt, then hit something and point and kick something all the while grunting and pointing.

Now this behavior was not rewarded, because we wanted her to find words to use. Even if she just tried to imitate us, using a wrong word, just any word and we can work this through, right. Just use a word - !!!
Well, it happened slowly, but in the meantime she was taking note of everything else that happened when she banged on things and kicked things.

About a year old, most kids are trying to talk, but not her. Walking is a priority at that age and most are getting there. She was fine on all fours at a crawl for a while past when we were worried, but as I mentioned, she was watching things when she kicked and slammed things.

One day she wanted her hat which we had hung on my hatrack attached to the wall opposite her bedroom. I had my three cowboy hats - I keep a straw for daily wear in the sun, a brown formal for dress up and a black, I mean a black hat, No need to explain a black hat - I wear one sometimes. It also had several baseball caps and a few kid hats, including her favorite.

She sat and grunted for a bit, pointing, grunting,  but no words, no hat. Finally she gave up on me getting her hat for her and crawled into her room and slammed the door against the wall where the hatrack was, then raced back around, searched everywhere, then looked up, saw her hat still on the rack and crawled back into her room. So I shake my head thinking I can be stubborn, too.
Then she slams the door against the wall again, rips back to look for her hat. I had not yet figured this behavior out, but thinking it needed to be corrected I told her NO. She pursed her lips and crawled back into her room and really slammed the door against the wall knocking her hat off the rack.
Dashing back in, at a crawl mind you, she grabs her hat, puts it on and turns a defiant look at me that she still uses at seventeen. But it all came to me that instant. I did not have to correct this behavior; I needed to find a way the channel it, productively. Lots of luck with that shit!

Anyway, she had defined a geometric problem, including a physics element and solved it all on her own at about one year old.
As tired as I was at hearing her bash the wall with the door, I was very proud of her!







I mentioned pointing being a sort of specialized undertaking, considering the varying components brought to bear by using such a convoluted gesture to actually mean something indicative other than, "Hey, look at the end of my finger!"

But how about spitting?  Talk about a specialized undertaking!
It took a bit of trial and error and error ... to succeed.

Took me years and years to learn how to spit. Think I was already living on my own till I could master it a little bit. And I still have to think about it when I want to spit. I so envied my brother for his spitting talents. Shape, distance, speed, he could do it from the moment I realised people could spit. And he is younger than I am.

We were told The PR wouldn't crawl properly because she didn't support her weight on her right side.  So she commando crawled.  When she was about two she just started crawling on all fours.  Quite an achievement and a relief for me.  It was very hard finding sturdy clothes that could withstand commando crawling at that age.

Also when she begn to speak it was usually one word sentences, normal words:  want, cookie, drink, etc.
On Easter morning she woke up, came into the kitchen and said, "I had a good sleep."  Not only a sentence, but a thoughtful, non-physical object (cookie, cat, etc)  sentence.  SHe was about 3 1/2 years old.

My daughter will not talk about it, but she is diligent at tooth brushing, so it must happen.

My son still struggles at keeping a clean chin while spitting.

I can spit, but forget whistling except for the most horrid sounds.

Down in Indianapolis, at the state fair, they have a watermelon seed spitting contest every year. They love to promote the "country farmer" aspects of the state at this thing. They also have a chicken chase, greased pig thing, hog calling, fried anything and everything on a stick, etc. But that was where we saw the beginning of the hot air balloon race the other day -  not exactly something farmers do, just a bunch of rich guys advertising.

Some of these  seed spitters can spit over fifty feet. The record is over sixty five feet - or around nineteen meters. That's some good spittin' iffin' ya ask me!

I do not share this kind of "basically nonsense"  most of the time, but this has been bugging me for a couple of weeks. I know most of you do not care when I talk about records even though we all went gaga at Parts post about his friend's 45s.
To give up some background, in my efforts to go through all my LPs I am usually visiting Steve Hoffman's website.

I have shared this resource with others here before. Anyway, the site is large and mostly a bunch of serious music collectors, audio junkies and Steve Hoffman fanboys.
There are also a number of old hat music industry hard hitters who visit and contribute regularly. Some of these guys have access written, music label records that help to identify albums by the markings on them in the dead wax areas. So yeah I go there a lot when I am going through my LPs.

I found an original pressing in very close to mint condition of Billy Joel, An Innocent Man LP. I have cleaned it and played it and it does sound amazing, but I am not the biggest Billy Joel fan on the planet. I appreciate his craft and I am very "jealous" of his (ex)wife into the '90s, BUT now I have identified an album worth more than it should be that I own.

I have a dilemma. One of the guys offered me two hundred dollars for it. I bought it for fifty cents a few months back. Not that I am against making a forty thousand percent mark up on something, but do I want to sell this thing or just keep it as a "special piece"  in my collection? Amazon lists mint ones with no estimation as to when or where they were pressed in the forty dollar range.

This a classic reason for me to never pass up any decent condition LP when I find it, even if I think I will never listen to it.
I also want to sell it to him for twenty bucks and just laugh about it.

I can't say.

I had a few that were worth a good bit of money at the time, 5 years later they were worth half that and I needed the storage and the money.

15-20 years later, some will spike once in awhile and wished I still had them, but they never really climbed back up there.

Collectibles are like gambling, you have to know when to sell and when to sit on them and wait. It's a game I seldom win at.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: DirtDawg on August 07, 2018, 03:19:26 PM
Yeah, I know about collectibles.  That is one of my things, rare coins, but I almost never even see what I buy and sell. I use an auction house to make money for me with those things.

This is not about making money, though. I found this presumed, rare treasure and it is mine, albeit at a bargain price, but that is not it either.
I think that having a desirable collection would be cool, but then getting involved with the market value defeats some of the pleasure of the hunt and the "kill," so to speak.

I have something that someone is willing to offer more than four times what Amazon sells similar items for and I do not really care about it. If I had a sort of relationship with the guy, I would probably just give it to him or trade it for a decent Led Zeppelin album.
I find myself on a slippery slope that could easily drag me down and cause me to lose sight of my original interest, "Saving the Bales"  as they used to say in the seventies. (remember, Save The Whales and then all the drug dealers had to dump their cargo of bales of dope. You could find them washing ashore and ...).

I get back to, why do I even look at the dead wax if I want to keep myself "clean?"

I am toying with the slippery slope, here.

 When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 
                 Jimi Hendrix

I just placed this into my sig. I have found others taking credit for this comment online and it irks me. I am tired of Hendrix not receiving his due.

He was a gentle, visionary, seeking soul who only wanted good for all.

Something I remember from Gandhi about how one should be the change you want to see in the world.
Hendrix tried to live that change.

I just wish he had explored the concept of limits.

My dad got into Hendrix after he was gone...not really his era, I remember him playing the UFO track on one of his albums...again and again. He was amazed that anyone could get a guitar to sound like that.

Zevon...I blew out a rear speaker once with either that song or Werewolves of London. I'm thinking the later.

Hey. I can blow all your speakers at once if it gets me anywhere!
 :evillaugh:

Werewolves of London definitely has some irregular sounds included in the mix. With no other info, I would guess that one.

Your dad was right. But I was around for the beginning of his  - or rather OUR awareness of Hendrix. When he died, I died a little, too.  I just ditched school and left. I could not face any part of math or history bullshit - Fuck He died today!! I just left and cried.

Hendrix took guitar further than anyone ever had and no one has begun to approach what he did with very minimal equipment (at first - then toward the end anything he wanted, but it was fucking 1970 and there "weren't" that much to work with, just a loud amp, a pedal or two, any guitar he could find, various echo thingies that no one knew what to do with, a tape machine you could fool into playing yesterdays tracks backwards - 'bout sums it all up)

Just look at what he was able to create with such a tiny palette of audio stuff to work through AND in such a short amount of time he had things his way.

That was his first USA release. Not sure how things went down in Oz.

Being that you guys put the Queen on your "dollar" bills back then I would assume you had the Foxey Lady release as your first ever.
I am just guessing. Both songs are on his first album or CD.

Every pub in the country to receive at LEAST one free pisser, with an enameled representation of the scabby old  slag in question's face on it.

Although it might introduce the problem of people squatting in the urinals and leaving things that...ermmm...'build up', so perhaps replacement toilets,  and so women can  turn her face, if you can call it that, into an even larger  dollop of steaming shyte too.

I mean, granted, it looks like a demon sucked the soul out of a grape and crapped on it, trying to make  a faecal matter-coated hell's own brand of faux 'chocolate' raisin product, but no harm in adding to it, and helping give the staggering drunkards a place they  KNOW  they will prefer to shit and piss.

I don't complain.  I like women who aren't in the first flush of youth.  They are attractive on their own terms.

I can too, I dated my stalker, totally loco over her, 54 now IIRC, and she's still sexy as hell. Like a really
expensive wine, she's just got better with age, although she does have quite a lot of that classic/Kanner's gautism-related (seemingly so at least) thing where people age really, really, really slowly. My stalker, if she were to use makeup, could pass for being in her 20s still. It isn't extreme with her, but she has a lot of it still.

When the Renster made a remark about her  age I was shocked, she looks an awful lot younger (and feckin' hawt) than she is.

It is a Northern city (more a largish township) of Thailand. It is really just enough of everything rolled into one. I have never been to Fiji but I imagine the kind of calm, cruisey and less hustle and bustle atmosphere is there too. I like the blend of the familiar and unfamiliar. The people are sweet and there is just nothing you need to do and no need to do it. You can properly relax. You get proper heat unlike Canberra. It warms your blood and makes you feel awake and invigorated. There is enough there to occupy you in whatever you want to get up to. Plenty of expats and plenty of locals. You can get a cheap street food for a dollar or two or alternatively dine at a restaurant for the cost of a food court meal here. You could watch a $5 movie or go off on a tour to the Elephant Sanctuary or the Tiger Kingdom.

I like it a lot.

It was in Thailand (Phuket) that I discovered I am allergic to tigers. Went to a place called Tiger Island to get a photo take sitting next to a tiger. Short while afterwards came out in a nasty, itchy, red rash all over much to the amusement of my friend I was with.

DirtDawg - I hope he recovers quickly.  He sounds like a real jewel of a dog.

Last Monday I took him to our vet and started a regimen of amoxicillin. Now after a full week and a day he is perfectly back to normal.

He has seemed fine all weekend, but now he is truly himself!

Barking at any squirrel noise or sighting, chasing the birds back to the trees, sniffing for those damn raccoons and shitting in their general direction, anxious to go for his walks, smiling constantly and stealing the cat's bowl, etc.

Not sure if he is an actual jewel, but he truly brings joy into this household.

Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two

I don't think the heatwave was a co-incidence, Ren ;)

Not that I mean I'd see you as a newborn infant and think 'she's hot' (adorable, sure, but the hot, that needs a few years to evolve into the finished article obviously haha)

Really, you could easily have said you were 25, or somewhere between 20-25, maybe as young as 18-19, and I'd have believed you.

It can't only be me, I've mentioned it before, but you must have a bit of that anti-aging factor thingy that seems to pop up in the occasional spazz. Usually classic autie, and all but one time I've seen the phenomenon, it has been in a female, the only male would be the also classically autie brother of this girl I know from our school days, that makes me double-take, mentally speaking, for still finding her really attractive, despite that she doesn't look a day over about 11. Older than I am, but she just doesn't look like she is, or sound like it, with her voice coming out as a kind of high pitched squeak, its rather endearing actually. Her brother is also someone who expresses this spazz in stasis trait, I  never really knew him well, well enough to know they were brother and sister, so any friend of hers, is one of mine, or at least someone worth my respect and who I'd look out for, just for being related to someone I value as a general principle. But we were in different buildings in the spesh school, same school, different subunit.

But I'd have known his face there, etc., and he too, still looks no older than he did when I left the school and he was recently starting there; not sure how old he actually is, compared to his sister, but both of them, its so intensely expressed a trait in both of them that it is like looking at a photograph, its eerie and uncanny.

Might be fun to check out. Not sure there is more than a passing interest as far as historical significance goes, but I found an unopened, absolutely brand new Mercury Direct to 35mm film recording of various cinema music, including some from"Westside Story" and a few Chopin waltzes and a Bernstein on Side B. Now, my mind tends to want to challenge the labeling. I am not sure, but I do not think that the soundtrack music for "Westside Story"  was originally recorded in this format. This has to be a "direct from master tapes" recording at its best, I think.
Ninety nine cents at the Salvation Army store, unopened.

Also grabbed eight other really cherry Deutsche Grammophon classical offerings for the same price, but all but one are multiple disc concerts from Vienna, Berlin, Budapest and a few other places. One of them is a six disc collection recorded over several days of various composers interpreted on harpsichord and cello and a few on Spanish guitar - I can not wait until I get this one sanitized and have it ready to spin!   All were ninety nine cents, each, even the six disc collection.

Something decided to shed its winter undercoat (really soft, fine fur) on the mat on our front doorstep and on the path leading up to it as well.

No idea, it may have been a cat or a possum. It doesn't look like the aftermath of a fight because there's no blood and there is no skin. My wife told me that she'd seen something that looked like a very big rat climbing the tree outside the night before (almost certainly a possum). She thought maybe the possum had been in a fight with something.... I told her that if the possum had been in a fight with, for example, a cat, there would be bits of cat and lots of blood rather than just fur.

Thinking about the  two tasty fillets of cod in breadcrumbs that are just waiting for the oven to preheat. Because I have a case if the munch and my insides are demanding to be filled  with something hot and tasty. Think I'll finish my cigar and then munch on some pickled olives first while I wait for the cod fillets to cook. FUCK! I knew it, I KNEW I was  forgetting something when I was out shopping earlier. Meant to get a lime. Fuck. Oh well. Still be good with a sprinkling of salt, might have to dilute some anhydrous acetic acid down to about 5%, to make a few ml of spirit vinegar, or something equivalent to it, because I haven't got any actual vinegar around.

Depending if I CBF with that.  Got a 6 pack of cold beer, which should do the trick,  a bit of salt on the fish and beer to wash it down the hatch. 

Just snacked on a few pickled black olives, grabbed a cold beer out of the fridge, while I wait the last few minutes for my fish to be ready for munching. Because I am SO  damn hungry and for the past few days have been really thirsty too despite drinking plenty fruit juice (watermelon juice, and guava juice)

Hm.....oh, they aren't the kind of fish fillets with breadcrumbs, these are battered. Even better. I like those even better than I do the breaded kind, I like the crispy texture of the pre-fried batter, just throw them on a  metal wire mesh tray and toss them in the oven at gas 7 for 20 minutes, salt, crack a beer and ready for scoffing, while watching a horror movie.

Then tiime to go to the lab, after finishing my beer, having a cigar , now my tasty battered fish fillets  (looking back I should have done both the boxes of 2 fillets not just one, because I reallly could have eaten both, half a jar of olives notwithstanding. Could definitely have eaten all four of them. I think I'll eat a few creme caramel tubs for pudding, to fill up the extra space in my insides, bought out the entire stock of sainsbury's supermarket earlier, every last single four-pack of creme carramels they had. Had a bowl full of about 8-10 or so of those earlier and ate every last scrap before drinking that lovely toffee flavoured stuff the pudding pots are covered in on both end surfaces.

Oh and owiee, wash out the salt that got into the cut on my finger  from the screwy-arsed fritted Buchner funnel and the razor sharp edge of the collar part of the funnel. Wil try to weld the glass back together using a homemade oxyhydrogen jet-flame.

Got several results back from my visit to the vet three weeks ago with my doggie.

He is fine. We did a standard test of various blood things to assure his health and the antibiotics did well. He is fine.
I paid extra to determine his breeding, being a total mutt and all, but I wanted to have more info.

According to the vet at the Humane Society where we adopted him, he is collie and dachshund mix. The DNA test we had done three weeks ago at our regular vet confirms this. I guess that old vet knew what she was talking about after all.
We have a "big dog" with tiny short legs. Knew that and we love him and he is a fucking awesome dog, but now we know "what"  he is.

His coat has grown out a lot since we got him, about five months ago. I think, maybe the previous owner had him trimmed and his coat was just starting to grow out. He is almost twice the wooly bear he was when we got him. His coat is full and thick and so fucking cute.

So my contract finishes on Friday and my boss scheduled a 30 minute meeting.

I was wondering what sort of feedback I was going to get, particularly when they called in the Head of Product as well.

So it was like "wanna stay on?" I said "yes". So they are going to extend my contract by a couple of months and they have already set the wheels in motion to make me a permanent staff member a little further down the track.

And they asked me what my salary expectations were and I told them "market rates range from x to y, and I'm happy to come in at (x + y) / 2". Or rather the numerical equivalent of that, like if x was 10 and y was 20, I'd be coming in at 15.

Based on how happy they looked when I said that... I'm thinking that maybe I should have started a bit higher.

The meeting was scheduled for 30 minutes but we were done in less than 5 minutes. Literally.

I was happy to come in at the market rate, they seem happy to pay me the market rate, all good.

I have been paid a lot more in the past. And a lot less.

Coming in too high often means you've got a massive target on your back whenever they decide to cut costs.

I used to watch for ammo sales at Dick's and found decent buys on loss leaders, sometimes.

I have not even looked for a long time, until just now. People around here have dropped Dick's altogether. I know that sounds weird.

Remington 22LR Bucket O' Bullets Rifle Ammo – 1400 Rounds
★★★★★
★★★★★ 4.2 out of 5 stars. Read reviews. 
4.2
 (50)
NOW: $69.98 (30% off!)

These are OK. Some make fun of bulk rimfire, but I have NEVER had a MF, FTL or any other failure using Remington.
I will not be ordering this, since I already have over one hundred thousand rounds of .22LR set by.

Probably could seem like a lot. I know one guy who has more than two pallets of .22LR on hand. Over a million rounds. Thing is, a few years back there was a serious scare that we would no longer be able to buy our ammo, let alone just order it on line. Most people went fucking NUTZ!!

Of course the most popular selling ammo is the venerable .22LR and so it became almost impossible to find during "The Scare."  It was simply a supply/demand thing. At that point in time I had about twenty thousand rounds in safe containers. BUT, the thought of NEVER EVER being able to buy more was a definite scare.

The Lefty/Nazi idea was that, since we can't seem to get people's guns out of their hands, we will take away their FREEDOM to buy ammunition for their weaponry. Now, as a hunter, I have enough "makings" (meaning, bullets, primers, powder, casings, casting equipment, lead, gas checks, etc.) for all my favorite hunting calibers to last into the next two generations. However, daily practice requires a bit more than a few rounds per day.

Last time I counted, looking to keep quantities of products in balance. I had enough makings to create (approximating) twenty thousand rounds of .223, seven thousand rounds of .45, one thousand rounds of .44Mag, six thousand rounds of light .38/357,  about a thousand rounds of 9mm, but see that was what balanced.  I also have many more primers (infinite shelf life with proper storage) and bullets that would require lots of powder to make the rest come together. All assuming that I keep and reload most of the brass I already own.
I also have stacks of five gallon buckets of military brass taken from military bases, that need some babying to turn into .223 rounds. Know how to do it, done many, MANY thousands from range to usable reincarnates.
That is what I can remember offhand. Many more supplies available that would require more purchases to render completed ammunition.

Between my three presses, with some help, we could turn out some huge numbers of ammo in short time.
The problem as to which I have already alluded, is the actual quantities of bullets and powder to calibers that I have on hand.  Brass is a huge storage problem; it is the largest part. Powder is also a huge storage problem due to storage environment requirements. Bullets are easy; they're just heavy. Primers are tiny and almost inert, as long as moisture is eliminated from storage methods.

I guess my point is that if they take away my right to buy ammo, I am set for a while. I  just need to buy more bullets and powder.

BTW, I am not the only one. If you go to some of my "friend's" homes you will find that I am far behind in the "race."

I remember a photo meme a while back:  Kind of a hot chick holding an AR of some sort and the caption was something like Do they really want to do another Civil War? One side has twelve trillions rounds of ammo, millions of guns and the other side does not know which bathroom to use.

It's hoarding assholes like that who have driven up the cost of .22LR ammo.

The last time I bought .22LR ammo, it was going for $7.50 for a 550 round Remington "milk carton". I bought 10 cartons only to find myself in a situation where I had very limited opportunities to go shooting. The upside is that I sat on it. The down side is that I didn't buy enough.

Since I've moved away from the Kalifornia Peoples Republic, I can shoot guns when ever I want and I've burned through that ammo. Now you have all these assholes who are sitting on several pallets of .22LR who are asking a Kings Ransom for the ammo they bought for pennies on the round.

Making matters worse is that ammo manufacturers have realized that this is their new "cash cow".  :tantrum:

I understand that those arguments exist. I tend to disagree and blame it on the scare a few years back. But, honestly, there is so much available now that small fish like this guy do not really affect things so much.
Honestly, though, at the price you noted, YOU should have bought two pallets.
My shooting buddy does not intend to sell at a ridiculous price, only hoard. I asked him once if he rotated his older ammo out and he just glared at me and said like Dude (yes, this guy says "dude" and "like" way too much) I have them shrink wrapped, FFS!
Not much intention of selling. Or even shooting it seems. He is also a prepper with two connected shipping containers buried on his dad's property. I have not been inside, but it all seems impressive from the outside. Huge water tanks, finger system, three generators, air filtration and on and on and on ...

Last year, while I was still building myself a ten year supply (which took me over three years, BTW, constantly looking for deals. Now building the kind of center fire supplies I have on hand has taken me over thirty years), I found many decent sales at various places for around six to seven cents per round for Remington, Winchester and CCI. Not too bad in this climate. I know it is not like when gasoline was a dollar fifty per gallon, either. Still see them advertised for five cents for Aguila (I think it is Mexican knock off Remington) and Federal.

Not sure what you need, but for my purposes, varmints, noisy, destructive stray dogs, occasional rabbit, plinking - I have never had trouble with my Ruger 1022s or my even cheaper Marlin 60s (one of which I paid ten dollars for many years ago). I have a S&W four incher and three Ruger Mk III, still no trouble.

You CAN order online, right? You live in Oregon, I think I read. (Only driven through and loved every second of the trip)
I have had good luck ordering from Midway and Ammomen. Great stores!

I know this has been out there for a while, but it reminds me of the dog we lost in February. He usually had a bowl with his kibbles any time he wanted, but when we were cooking or eating, he would often bring a few of his kibbles and lay them at our feet and sit right there, waiting patiently, hopefully for a trade to happen. IF we would not respond with a nibble of stuff we were eating he would go and bring more, upping his bid.

Thinking right now that idiots seldom know a good thing when they see it.

I have a niece (not blood, but more spiritual - she is the daughter of my wife's oldest brother's wife and that brother's wife's first marriage) who was fired at her work yesterday.
She is a volunteer at several animal shelters and has done this work for about twenty years, mostly volunteering. She does not need to work. She wants to do this work.
When she was about to enter college, about twenty four years ago, her "bio-dad" set her up with a trust that would do everything for her after he died. Well as an eighteen year old, finding out she is destined to be a multimillionaire, she blew off college. She has since gone back and gotten a decent veterinary and social education, but his interfering with her mom's plans for her daughter was never done more cleverly by any other divorced asshole. He died about a year later.

So not needing to ever work, she followed her heart and spent most of her time in animal shelters and going to disaster sites to help take care of animals displaced or abandoned  due to floods, hurricanes, tornadoes or anywhere there were forgotten pets or animals in distress. Oh, she is on her way to the Carolinas with five other people and a rental truck full of supplies to offer aide once the hurricane is done over there. This is something she has been doing since hurricane Katrina and probably will never stop. Great!  Good for her and all.

But she fucked up a few weeks ago. In an effort to help place even more pets into proper hands, before they are euthanized due to "having been there too long," she began to post pics of herself interacting with some of these animals on her Facebook page. There is apparently a subsection in this latest animal society's by-laws about not promoting animal adoption using photos of people and animals, exactly what she thought might help.
Someone ratted her out and she was fired for violating policy.  :bigcry:

I did not ask if she knew there was a policy against this horrid behavior of posting cutesy pics of animals who need a new home or not.

I did ask how the fuck some asshole place fires a volunteer. She just said they do so and she is no longer wanted there, except for about twenty other people who volunteer there.

Everyone loves to see a new business opening up in their community. You see it happening, day by day if you often travel that corridor of the city. One day an empty building has activity within and a huge dumpster placed outside while they revamp the interior to the new vision of the building. Wondering who or what is going to occupy that nice old building once things come together for the new tenants, you watch for a sign to come up or some ideas from the construction for further speculation even.

Then, finally they are almost ready to open and a massive sign is being erected above the place and now you finally know what it is going to be. Not a new restaurant, not another car audio place, not a new pet grooming parlor, but a "Discount Tattoo Removal Lab."  I mean wtf!?!

If you already have some idiotic tattoo on your ass somewhere and feel the need to be rid of it, why would you tempt confounding the list of errors by patronizing a "discount" service? Anyone?

I wish them well. There are plenty of folk here who probably will use the service.

Day 790 Update (Sat, Sept 15):
Still Going Strong
Nick Tullier Strong

General condition:
To be clear, when it’s presently said that Nick is “home”, that means the apartment in Houston. More below at “In Closing”. Evaluations are through. Therapies continue this coming week at TIRR out-patient clinic. Still having blood pressure issues. This time, higher than normal. Discussing with doc. Suctioning of mucus from Nick’s lungs continues, though he’s much improved.

Abdominal area:
No problems.

Arms:
No problems.

Muscle Spasticity:
No problems.

Heel sore:
Watching this area closely.

*****
In closing,
Nick’s back in the Houston apartment after being discharged from TIRR in-patient hospital Thursday. He’s still under the care of Dr. Kothari at TIRR even though now in out-patient therapies again. Moving back to Louisiana is a long way down the road. Until then, home for Nick and us is wherever is best for Nick. TBI (traumatic brain injury) patients can react to meds opposite of non-TBI patients. And some meds used for other issues can be used and beneficial to TBI patients. On top of being a TBI patient, Nick still has shrapnel in areas of his brain & brain stem. Takes a doctor with special knowledge in dealing with the in’s and out’s of Nick’s type of patient. Shame that type of doctor isn’t in every state and city. For now, the best place for Nick is Houston. That’s not going to change anytime soon.

He was shot July 17, 2016.  I would say he and every other seriously wounded LEO and soldier of every nationality deserve our thanks.

Thinking I should really get round to starting work on preparing some pure, highly concentrated fuming nitric acid.

I've been needing some copper (II) salts, for producing zero-valent copper nanoparticles, the nitrate itself probably isn't suitable, but from there I can make other cupric salts from the nitrate, going via oxides, hydroxides etc. and treatment with other acids, after roasting the nitrate with a blowtorch to decompose it (and ideally capturing the NOx gases, hopefully to make nitrite salts, and recycle what otherwise would be toxic waste gas)

Its just a bit of a pain, as I otherwise have no copper salts, I used the very last few hundred milligrams of the copper (II) chloride I possessed for a test of the reaction I have been looking into a little while ago, running it on just a 10mmol scale, (of substrate the reaction was being tested on, which works out to a bit over a gram, and using a bit over 200mg of the CuCl2), and copper metal is fairly unreactive, it doesn't dissolve in hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid that I know of, IIRC it will dissolve if electrolyzed in hot, concentrated sulfuric acid to give copper sulfate, but I tried and it seemed to form some sort of passivating layer on the electrodes very quickly that prevented all current from flowing, my decent power supply is busted, so I had to use a car battery charger, which just wasn't good enough.

None of the other acids I have to hand attack copper, that I know of, sulfamic acid might but I don't know, haven't tested it. But I DO know with absolute certainty that nitric acid attacks copper very aggressively and quickly dissolves it to yield Cu(NO3)2, cupric nitrate. This can be thermally decomposed to give some or other oxide of copper, I'd have to look up exactly which.

This can then be treated with strong hydrochloric acid to  afford me the CuCl2 that I badly need at the moment.  Tested it in-situ, using concentrated sulfuric acid (98-99% H2SO4) and sodium nitrate, on a small sample of copper metal, as fine copper dust, just to confirm it works. Although it left behind sodium sulfate or bisulfate (haven't checked which yet), which is an unwanted contaminant, that may have unpredictable effects on the formation of the nanoparticles, since nanotechnology can be highly dependent on the reaction conditions, solvents, rates of addition of a material, stirring/agitation, heat, all sorts of factors can alter the end result when working with nanotechnology based processes. So the sodium or sulfate cation and anion respectively, could well have negative effects, especially given the fact that copper (II) sulfate is reported to work for formation of the nanoparticulate copper metal but the yields when cupric sulfate is used instead of cupric chloride for that part of the reaction are lower than when CuCl2 is used.

So, I'm going to again, react concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium nitrate, but this time, rather than my tests where I simply mixed the two, and added copper powder in a 25ml beaker, I'll use a liter or so of 98-99% H2SO4 and an equimolar amount of NaNO3, and distill it to give pure, highly concentrated fuming nitric acid. And that'll give me loads of WFNA to work with, once I subject the product to vacuum to remove dissolved NOx gases if the result is red fuming nitric rather than white fuming nitric acid. Another acid, and a very useful strong oxidizing acid as well as nitrating agent, an ingredient for making aqua regia, for my lab stockroom, so its all ready for use, rather than my having to make up batches as I need HNO3, I can just keep a bottle of strong white fuming nitric on the shelves ready to grab and start dissolving metals, oxidizing things, nitrating stuff etc.

Saves mixing up acid and nitrate salts and distilling every time I want some damn HNO3)

The nitrate (copper (iI) nitrate that is, sodium nitrate is just a white powder) looks really nice too, has a lovely turquoise blue-slightly green hue when it is in it's hydrated form, although IIRC the anhydrous form is white. The hydrates are very pretty to look at, I'll post a picture in a moment of a solution of Cu(NO3)2 from my initial in-situ testing to ensure the HNO3 did indeed attack copper as desired. Was pretty sure but I didn't want to commit lots of resources until I knew for definite.

Soon as I've gone for a cigar, I'll upload the picture. Looks nice.

The effect of HNO3 upon copper metal (the Cu was aded to the nitric acid in the form of fine, fine copper dust, not sure what the particle size is of my copper powder, but it is incredibly fine, at least as fine as icing sugar, feels even finer still, between the fingers, and if touched gets in between the grooves and peaks of fingerprints, its super-super fucking fine. Nitric acid would attack even large solid  bulk bits of copper, but using the fine powder, the HNO3 goes right through it like a hot knife through butter.

And here is the result. Hydrated copper (II) nitrate, Cu(NO3)2. The anhydrous salt is nothing special to look at, just white crystalline powder, but the hydrates have a lovely coloration. The  colour varies with the concentration, much more dilute concentrations look more green than blue (can post a pic of the greenish pale colouration of a much more dilute solution, I already have the pic, if anyone wants to see how it changes with concentration?)

i really should get the plants I found into pots. 

i was putting some trash in the can outside the grocery last week when I saw some seedlings had been put in there because they were badly wilted.  i plucked them out and returned home.  Ended up with an Ichiban eggplant, a purple basil and 4 vinca/periwinkle plants.  They perked up beautifully when i soaked them.

Very nice! I do the same sometimes.
Grocery stores are a great place to find salvageable potting plants discarded in the garbage. Usually there is no one responsible for the upkeep and anyone who tries is a kid just doing the least amount of work possible to fill in a shift. Most would not know the difference between a starving and a dead plant.

A couple of years back I came across a dumpster half full of wilted two gallon mums in late October. I could only reach eight without climbing in, but all eight grew and were just fine. Often it is to our benefit to salvage these discarded plantings just to get the fancy nursery potting mix and forget whether the plants are salvageable.
Good luck with yours.

Weird sky today. I know we are experiencing the edges of what ever is left over from the hurricane that hit North Carolina.
The sky is mostly clear, but toward the south east is dark with heavy clouds and there is lightening and some thunder.

Both my fur babies are panicky and cowering under things. They always get this way with a storm coming and thunder is happening, but today the sky out the back window looks clear, but yet it is thundering. End of the world is near!

Both fur babies are inconsolable right now.

Some also never log in. Have read here before of people sometimes not receiving their confirmation email. A admin could send them something to be certain their membership is acknowledged.

I had one of my glass-fritted Buchner funnels somehow separate into two pieces. It was clogged with a few hundred grams of paracetamol, which had been vac filtered as a slurry, put it in a bucket of water to soften up the chunk of paracetamol, When I came back a few days later,the damn thing had separated into two pieces, the column and the part with the frit and vac takeoff, just cleanly fell off, as if someone had made them as two separate pieces and stuck them together with kid's PVA glue!

Think I'm going to go at it, carefully with the brazing torch and fuse it back together again.

And more than a little nervous, I've found someone who's other half is a glassblower, and I'm seeing what I can do about getting a few expensive broken pieces of glass repaired cheaply, possibly even free.. Problem is one of the items is horribly gunked up, it's probably something akin to BBQ charcoal bricks by now, as it's been repeatedly assaulted with boiling chromic acid, but there is a remaining black layer on the inside of the 5ml pear-shaped microflask, (its a 5ml pear shaped flask with integrated vigreaux column and sidearm with a condenser) that just won't come off.

I think I'm going to have to resort to the last line of defense against the very worst stains. Piranha acid. It's a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, usually 3:1 sulfuric to peroxide, 30% peroxide. Dangerous stuff, very dangerous if there are traces of solvents or organics around, it can explode, showering brutally powerful oxidizing agent everywhere. Although there won't be anything organic in the microflask I need repairing, due to it having been subjected to saturation-bombing with chromic acid, which will rip the SHIT out of most anything. Piranha is more powerful still, piranha acid can even oxidize inorganic,, graphitic carbon to CO2, there is very little it won't destroy. WILL get the job done, but not nice stuff to make or use, and definitely never  something I'd store. Make what  I need on the spot, use it, and destroy the residues of peroxide.

Gotta wonder about walmart.  Yesterday, an incident happened in the unloading zone, that I did not witness.  I only know what I heard second hand.  It was between the supervisor and a co-worker.  I was out in the store stocking the shelves.  Later I was in the back with the co-worker and we were talking.  He told me what happened as part of a conversation that involved gaming and an old fashioned country fair that takes place in Unity Maine, that Amber went to.  Once again, second hand information.  Later, the supervisor at the urging of a manager, came up to me and wanted me to go to the office and write down what the co-worker had said.  He also told me that we had been seen talking together.  :-\   Anywho......I replied that we were talking but, he really told me nothing that I could write down.  If I didn't witness it and all I had was a second hand account, that's hearsay.  And I am not going to write and sign any statement that I personally did not observe first hand.  To me that was an ethical dilemma.  But, this is walmart, ethics have no place here.

Thanks!   Fortunately, I am in a good position, I work only 24 hours a week, they like my work.   And at 63, I don't care any more.  This keeps me busy, adds a few bucks to family coffers and allows me the money to buy my books and such.   Walmart recently raised their base pay to $11 an hour.  Where all the other nearby retailers still only offer $9.  I stay out of the politics and it was very easy to dodge this one.  I told the co-worker about what happened and that I was not going to participate in any reporting on an incident I did not see or here.  He appreciated that.  And he did walk out only to come back when his temper cooled.  Anyway, we'll see what happens.  My conscience is clear and when I told Carla about it, she agreed that I chose the easier damned and did the right thing.  I hold conversations as confidential.  And this was told to me in confidence.  Old nursing habits/ethics die hard!    The interesting thing, is that the New Hampshire Liquor stores are paying $12,50 per hour for part time.  And since I am covered under Carla's Pharmacist walmart benefits...I'm good and yes lucky!

Weather is getting too cool to support the rest of the fruit set on my plants.

Today's haul of sweet peppers. No dollar bill for perspective this time. It was about to rain on us. You already know that the long yellow green ones are the length of a dollar bill and those huge red ones are nearly the length of my forearm. Those various bell peppers are roughly the diameter of the palm of my hand.
Those big beautiful girls  like the big red one are a variety I have never grown before. They are called Giant Marconi, supposedly making an homage to their Italian heritage. They are very sweet.

Those, the long, super hot Thai I pictured before and a short fat Hungarian variety are three peppers I had never grown before this year.  All three were successful!
I plan to grow them next year as well.

Gotta wonder about walmart.  Yesterday, an incident happened in the unloading zone, that I did not witness.  I only know what I heard second hand.  It was between the supervisor and a co-worker.  I was out in the store stocking the shelves.  Later I was in the back with the co-worker and we were talking.  He told me what happened as part of a conversation that involved gaming and an old fashioned country fair that takes place in Unity Maine, that Amber went to.  Once again, second hand information.  Later, the supervisor at the urging of a manager, came up to me and wanted me to go to the office and write down what the co-worker had said.  He also told me that we had been seen talking together.  :-\   Anywho......I replied that we were talking but, he really told me nothing that I could write down.  If I didn't witness it and all I had was a second hand account, that's hearsay.  And I am not going to write and sign any statement that I personally did not observe first hand.  To me that was an ethical dilemma.  But, this is walmart, ethics have no place here. 

As I have stated before, when put in the "Damned if I do and Damned if I don't"....I'll choose the easier damned!

Sounds like they have the guy lined up on the chopping block.

...it's so much easier on their soul to hang someone when you can get another employee to sign the papers for the hanging.

"It's not that I want to let you go buddy...old friend, it's just this signed statement about something you said...that you know is against our rules, so sadly I'm forced into this position."

Ugh, considered something part time at the one up the road, I keep getting asked...but it's drama like this that I really don't need.

Good luck rock hound.

Fwiw, every walmart has their drama llama's and assholes.  Mine was supposed to be a good place to work...but, since I have been here, it's been 6 of one and a half dozen of the other!

My Tabasco plants are so loaded down with fruit, they do not stand up anymore.
After this pic I propped them up. They are already growing in the medium size tomato cages, but they have outgrown those. Just a very hot summer with plenty of rain and I am having a great year for both hot and sweet peppers.

I have not had enough Tabasco peppers to make "hot sauce" in many years. I am hoping to get a few more to turn that bright red orange color before I strip them.

What about potting them up and moving them somewhere like the kitchen windowsill DD? might give them some more time warmer and help ripen them?

I'm thinking better go grab the new smartphone I bought earlier and start setting it up. Noticed something that wasn't advertised when I was looking the phones over and deciding which to buy, a nice surprise, in that it came with a 4gb removable flash drive on a chip about the size of a fingernail and 1mm or so thick. Damn, got to admit, the number of transistors they can get on semiconductor chips these days is getting pretty impressive in terms of compactness.

I've had plenty USB flash drives that were smaller capacity than 4 gig and at least 4'' long by about 3/4'' wide. And the SD card in my digital camera is only 512mb or so.

Although of course, I'll look for even higher capacity super-micro flash chips, but given the tiny size of the things, that would be ideal media to keep scientific my reference library on a set of high capactity micro smartcards, as well as, encrypted of course, lab notebooks in digitized form, as a place to keep all the finalized writeups for procedures after they have been fine-tuned and tweaked  and the numbers all nicely tabled, rather than the paper notebooks I keep the notes that get taken in quick writing as I'm actually observing things, so I don't have to try and rely on mental notes later.

But for transfer to an archive, the size of the chips this phone takes, not sure what sizes they make them up to capacity-wise, but even with the 4 gig type like the one that came with the phone, probably bottom of the barrel capacity given its a throw-in, should think it could be feasible to get at least 1/4 terabyte in a homebuilt container  not much larger than a packet of chewing gum if they were stacked properly.

Not too happy with its being android based and integrated with google to ANY degree, I won't even use google to search from my laptop; because they are pack of noxious data-mining whoreborn ratmasturbators who seem to take it as a given that MY data is something they have a right to exist in the same space as. Fuck that. I'll be setting up a VPN as soon as possible, and making sure the phone never logs on to the house router network, and I sure as shit draws flies and personal privacy is about as tolerable to google as a garlic-saturated holy water enema is to a vampire. Turned off all the location settings, made sure that google apps can't request  to 'manage' my data usage, connections, phone calls or texts. The very thought makes my skin crawl.

I'll have to see if I can download a TOR port, and connect to it via a VPN, as the phone does support VPN usage.

Didn't pay for the phone in cash for no reason. Although at £65 odd inc. the 20 quid top up I bought to start it up with, etc.; it's definitely not a burner.
Thats not the kind of thing I'd even look for in a smart phone, for a burner I'd only want the capability to make and receive calls and texts, maybe access disposable webmail email accounts with a basic internet. A cheap ass camera/video, but then again these days you are probably hard pushed to find a genuine old brick phone. Wish I still had the handset I had when I was in my second spazz school, bought that secondhand for a tenner, and that didn't even have the capacity to connect to anything but phone lines for calls and texts. Although in a more modern size and weight, thats more or less what I need for a work phone. Something primitive that wouldn't even know what language g66gl6 speak in hell. The kind of dirt cheap ten quid piece of shit that if needs be can be smashed with  a brick and dumped in the nearest canal.

And facebook set to autostart? nix THAT for a start! lol one of the first things I did was turn that off and bar it from talking to anything.

Impossible. For one thing peppers do not work that way. If the roots are disturbed in any significant way, the plant will just drop all the fruit and start flowering again. Second problem is that these plants' root balls are over three feet in diameter and somewhat interlaced at this point.

I have such lousy soil in my yard (it's basically sand) that it is difficult to grow many things. While some things grow really well. We have a Rosemary plant that has turned into a huge bush, we have thyme growing really well, and some of the ornamental plants do really well.

Chillis grow well in our soil BUT we have bloody cockatoos and possums. Cockatoos absolutely love chillis, as soon as they start to turn red they are gone. And possums get into the apples and lemons. We have a big yard and I'd love to try to grow more fruit but with our hungry wildlife it seems like a waste of time.

We have a small Illawarra flame tree in our front yard, bloody cockatoos chewed off all the branches. It's supposed to look like this once it starts flowering:

My soil is crap, too. Dig down about a foot and you get pure black, alkaline clay that can be used for pottery, etc. The trick is to break it up down deep and add tons of organic compost. The top four inches or so are kept alive and working due to a massive drop of leaves every fall.
All that organic matter, breaks up the clay, so it does not stick together, improving tilth and water retention, neutralizing PH, attracting beneficial soil bacteria and earthworms, all of which allows for deeper root penetration.

MY successes are due to the fact that I have been improving my garden soil every year for over twenty five years. If I take a year off, which I had to do when I had hip replacement surgery, I lose a lot of workability in the soil - IN JUST ONE year after many years of work.

Interestingly, the same practices also improve overly sandy soil.

We are two weeks away from our first "killing freeze" here in central Indiana.
More tolerable weather is likely, even after the first big freeze. One huge plus to my family is the hard freeze will kill all the above ground insect pests, like mosquitoes, gnats, paper wasps, scary bees, and flies. I think of it as time to have my fire pit going almost every night.

Sad to say, that Ambers pet rat, Absyrian, aka "Floofen"....died today.  It's amazing how such small animals can trigger deep emotions.  She chose a one eyed, hairless male rat as her first ever true pet.  Leave it to Amber to side with the misfit of the litter, she loved him and cared for him very well.  Even I got attached to the little guy, giving him his favorite treats, like grapes, green beans and such.  And yes, I did my own share of crying.  He crossed the Rainbow Bridge well loved and had a good life.   :'(

I know you and I are cross ways most of the time and have been for years.

But this touches me. I feel for Amber and all the efforts the entire family put forth to support her AND him.

Reminds me of how I fell for my daughter's chihuahua. Early on my wife and I promised each other (OK not the same as our marriage vows, but ...), no damn chihuahuas! So our grown up teen, left on her own, sort of, came home with a fucking chihuahua. I fell for the little guy. He was well trained, did not pea everywhere and listened to what we told him. After a week or so I came to realize that Spanish was his first language. He was courageous and protective just like any other great dog would be.
He developed seizures and there was nothing the vet could do except to slow down the inevitable with meds, but he was terminal. I held him in his last moments and then held him for another hour, fighting back tears. Lost the fight. :'(

She needs another pet after a decent time. That will help the healing more than anything else.
You know this, so Godspeed to you and yours! 
Peace.

I suspect Martha, our cat, is slowing down.  She's skin and bones, sleeps a lot (but then she's a cat), but shows no sign of illness (except for some thin spots of hair and a scabby nose).  Shae just jumped down from a 4 foot window sill to come inside, scurrying through the rain.  But she is 15.

P.S. she likes to sleep on my bed with her head on my hand which is holding her arm.  That is my excuse why I don't get much done around here.  I'm the cat's bed companion.

Rat's do the same.  And she nibbled my hand the days before her end.  Appetite declining, but still with some life.  Animals are better at knowing the end.

My cat comes up (almost) every night and nuzzles her way up under my chin in bed and head bumps my chin and purrs for about two hours.
She does this massively loving, cuddly thing at a time of HER choosing, but I really miss this when she is "too busy" to do so.

My one cat, the male...is like that and always checking on me. If I'm downstairs too long, he's crying to find out where I am...if I'm in the shower too long, he's pawing and crying at the door. When I'm outside he's watching from the window.

They know, somehow they always know.

More a cat person myself rather than a dog person. All that social stuff, yeech! definitely a feline person here.
 
Although haven't had another cat since the bitch former housemate ended up stealing someone's kitten (I don't know who, got away, thankfully. So she did it again and nicked another one. Bloody psychotic borderline perdition's own whore  vile piece of shit that she is)

But with her not around, the lab is back in operation, and while I used to have a garage that I worked in, so there was no risk of feline-violently reactive materials type conflicts happening, when my mom got sicker with her MS before she died, the garage had to be converted into a downstairs bedroom for her. So no more garage. The Bitch slept in what is now my indoor lab space, had to put everything in storage, mothball the lab while she was staying here. Ugh...several YEARS without a lab...no wonder that cunt drove me crazy, even if she wasn't a mentally deficient, deviant, deranged psychotic borderline hellbitch, going even one year with no lab, thats just not meant to happen, it doesn't...it just doesn't work for me. Not one bit. Hell no.  But, converted the lab room into a spare bedroom.

(which is the reason for the rather peculiar decor in the lab, which due to her, while it was in use as a bedroom rather than my personal sanctuary and  seething den of  all iniquity; she went and stuck bloody luminescent glow in the dark stick-on plastic stars all over the walls and ceiling. Looks really out of place  now that the room is what it should be again, I.e equipped with a work bench, set of cupboards full of acids, bases, solvents etc. the commonly used ones at least, that have no special storage requirements and used often, on the one side, while the other has a tall rack of shelves, absolutely full to the brim with bottles, jars, tubs, vials, the odd doubly layered, hermetically sealed and provisioned with an inert atmosphere as an outer layered hermetically sealed bag, with greased, vacuum-purged and heatsealed wrappings of things like sodium metal, potassium, some sodium-calcium metal alloy I made a while back, in pellets, via electrolysis of mixed molten salts of sodium and calcium, plus various  supplies of alkylating agents, acylating agents, dessicants, specialist solvents (fr.ex 2-pyrrolidone, N-methyl-pyrrolione, methyl cyanide and other polar aprotic solvents, that I don't use often, but keep on hand because they do have their uses in certain situations, particularly methyl cyanide, which is rather handy because it has quite a low boiling point compared with the common options for polar aprotics, 70-something 'C IIRC off the top of my head, whilst the likes of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), DMF (dimethyl formamide), dimethyl carbonate, have really, really high boiling points and need hard vacuum to strip them from a post reaction mixture via vacuum distillation because they have boiling points of a couple of hundred degrees 'C at atmospheric pressure. Same goes for hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA, aka 'liquid cancer', not the nicest solvent in the world but again, polar aprotics definitely do have their use.

The other main one with a low boiling point is THF (tetrahydrofuran) which is really volatile, being an ether par for the course, but methyl cyanide kind of fits in that sweet spot of not too high boiling, to make it a pain to strip off after things have been done in MeCN, snugly in 'respectable boiling point under 100 'C, not TOO volatile, not too high boiling either'  (despite being a cyanide, methyl cyanide, otherwise known as acetonitrile, is actually not a heinous monster to handle
from a toxicological standpoint. Whilst there are exceptions, most organic cyanides are a LOT less toxic than ionic cyanides such as potassium cyanide, and of course, hydrogen cyanide or its aqueous solution, hydrocyanic acid, which are all of course, quite notoriously deadly and fast acting poisons. MeCN isn't, whilst you don't want to bathe in it or drink it, because it can be metabolized, slowly, to liberate some free cyanide ion, it'd take quite a large exposure, from very careless handling of the stuff to actually do anyone in. So methyl cyanide is a welcome addition to my solvent arsenal.

And shelves stacked full of metals, in finely powdered form, as in the lab metals are generally most useful as fine dusts with large surface area to mass ratios (I have: copper, nickel (really, really super-fine, so much so that the surface is black), iron dust, powdered aluminium, magnesium and lead (the lead isn't a fine powder, its fine shavings) and a tub of extremely finely divided metallic zinc dust, and then the inorganic elements that come in most handy-sulfur, both as a fine resublimed powder, called flowers of sulfur, and in the form of rounded solid sticks, known as 'roll sulfur', 4 big tubs of red phosphorus that I got super-lucky in finding a legit source for, that specifically caters for hobby chemists, people who aren't 'in officialdom' in the chemical world in any way, etc., because he's a hobbyist himself, with a connection that can order from sigma-aldrich, one of the BIG name chemical suppliers, expensive for quite a lot of things, but they have a huge selection, that'd make any hobbyist or clandestine chemist drool all over their catalogs as if they were autie girl teen porn :P; got money off because I seized the moment, and spent more or less everything I had at the time, to buy in at over the minimum order (for red phos, its a kilogram minimum from them) so I bought two, and got about £20 knocked off the price per kg), and things like iodine, bromine. Although I keep my iodine in the chemicals fridge actually rather than on a shelf, because while I use it plenty, iodine is quite volatile and likes to slowly diffuse through the walls of containers and escape, given half a chance. So I keep my iodine in the fridge to keep a firm hand on its escape artist tendencies.

Plus all the oxidizers (E.g potassium permanganate, sodium chlorate, sodium hypochlorite, concentrated nitric acid, sodium nitrate, sodium dichromate and the likes) and reducing agents (such as lithium aluminium hydride, sodium borohydride, some homemade nickel boride, triphenylphosphine, various hydrogenation catalyst ingredients such as palladium chloride, ready to be made into palladium metal on finely divided carbon, copper metal nanoparticle slurries, platinum, etc.) and the speciality solvents or reactants like nitromethane, nitroethane, nitrobenzene, benzaldehyde, ring-substituted benzaldehydes

What I'm thinking though, is I often get the feeling that like a housewife, a citizen chemist's job  is never done, and one can NEVER have too much glassware, and still want more and more and more different pieces and sizes, and never, ever is it possible to have too many chemicals in one's arsenal.

Got to pay for the LiAlH4 I ordered recently, and while I'm at it, I'm kinda hoping I might have enough money left over for: a few liters of dimethyl carbonate, some oxalyl chloride, some more thionyl chloride, my all-time favourite chlorinating reagent, some potassium or sodium cyanide, a few liters of benzene, say 10l or so. More dichloromethane because I've got a little bit left, plus a reaction product dissolved in dichlor, so I can distill it off and recycle a few hundred ml of that too. Chloroform, because I CBF making it from acetone; and  I need a refill on my nitromethane supplies, I'm flat out of nitromethane. Got nitroethane, but no nitromethane, and I need both. Oh and some ready-made anhydrous hydrogen bromide as a 33% solution in glacial acetic acid.

Run out of anhydrous undenatured ethanol (I can get it untaxed too, no customs duty, at about 20 euro a liter from russia, medical grade, undenatured stuff, that is clean enough to be fit for drinking, once its heavily diluted of course. No excise tax, its all in russian, never gets looked at lol. It's not anhydrous, but 95% azeotropic EtOH, with the balance being water, which of course can easily be removed. Need more EtOH for a Bouveault-Blanc reduction (dissolve the compound to be reduced in absolutely anhydrous pure ethyl alcohol, then slowly, under an inert gas blanket, add sodium metal, bit by little bit until the sufficient quantity has been added, Useful for reductions such as ketoximes to amines for example.

And last but by no means least, on my currently coveted supplies, a few liters of pyridine, a few hundred grams of piperidine, and say 25-50g of para-dimethylaminopyridine, which when used with pyridine, is a virtuoso catalytic pair for acylations with carboxylic acid anhydrides or their correspondng acyl halides, the pyridine itself is there to act as a base, scrubbing the hydrogen chloride liberated from acid chlorides, or the carboxylic acid half of an acid anhydride so they don't foul up the reaction, whilst 4-dimethylaminopyridine, aka para-DMAP, is incredible stuff for catalyzing esterifications with these reagents, used with pyridine as the bulk HCl scrubber, whilst one might add say 20-50mg or so of 4-DMAP, which works dramatic wonders on esterifications with acid anhydrides or chlorides, turning a reaction that would create a fair lot of byproducts due to being temperature-sensitive, that needs several hours at over 100 'C, down to just ten MINUTES at room temperature, just add the pyridine to the solution of whatever is being esterified, a little tiny wee bit of para-DMAP off the tip of a knife blade (carefully, because its very poisonous stuff, and a lethal quantity could easily be absorbed through skin contact, nasty stuff but very, very very useful, more than enough to make up for its toxic nature) and that temperature sensitivity and several hour reaction time is done in minutes, room temperature or even cooled down! yields skyrocket, its just fucking wonderful stuff. Poisonous but wonderful nevertheless for anyone with their heart set on esterifying say, some complex phenolic compound that is generally available only in small quantities and ones that cannot be wasted at all, that doesn't like heat or extremes of PH; or some recalcitrant alcohol, and 4-DMAP makes the perfect addition to the standard pyridine, just a wee dash and it'll work like magic.

As for me, I'm thinking now would be a good time to have some supper, and eat a pot noodle whilst half naked lying on the sofa with the cushions as a pillow, and a duvet thrown over the nice comfy leather couch, then sprawl out and start stuffing cornish clotted cream ice cream with frozen honeycomb pieces down my neck.

*leaves a big bowl out for Phoenix to welcome her back to our seething den of iniquity, plus one for the Renster too :) *

Because  I for one, am bloody famished. And I can't find the damn bar of golden syrup cake. I don't think I ate it, can only see the jamaican ginger cake wrapper in the bin. I know its there, taunting me, hiding from me, CBF looking right now though so a pot noodle and clotted cream honeycomb ice cream it shall be.

I have had far worse for supper than such fare as that, though, so no complaints here. That, and then my night time morphine shot, antiseizure meds and a  couple of low dose oxy IR caps followed by a cigar. Which for some reason is like the cherries on a black forest gateaux in terms of satisfaction after I take my morphine. E-cigs with just nicotine doesn't scratch the itch, has to be actual tobacco, but, vice  as it might be, I don't smoke much now at all what with using the E-cig. But, still, a real cigar is what is needed to scratch that spot, it's like that little part of one's back that is just out of reach of hands, but getting a sexy Kanner's autie girl to rake her claws down one's back and dig them in HARD while she does :lol1:

Just getting round to eating that tub of honeycomb clotted cream ice cream. Oh damn, this is good stuff. Watching star trek-enterprise.

This is some great damn ice cream.  I started opening a 1-liter tub just minutes ago. Now half of it has just...gone. And its still going :D

Just playing this kinda retro, sci-fi  game from the early 90's, X-com-terror from the deep. Kind of blends world management/research and the like, interception of alien craft, with tactical missions set in a turn based isometric type map, sort of lovecraftian theme, of a sort (even brings H.P Lovecraft's deep ones into it, alien-human hybrid soldiers, although, as it happens, the deep ones end up being the worst mistake the alien enemy ever made; in that capturing both a live specimen and bringing back a corpse, opens up certain critical research tech trees, which are vital to be able to get down to the gigantic, mega-city-state sized craft, deep in the gulf of mexico, where the ultimate enemy waits, not alive, not dead, but dreaming, (in this, having powerful psionic abilities on a geological scale). Ring any bells as to who might be the main suspect there?

Hint: big, ugly green motherfucker, kind of cephalopod-esque with tentacles for a face......dead but dreaming.

Combat is partially on land, when they raid cities on terror missions, hijack cruise liners, invade ports, mount attacks on islands to capture human specimens, resources and god only knows what other warped stuff, but mostly, its aquatic, with teams of combat divers.

And of course,  they come actively searching for X-com aquatic base facilities, looking to destroy them. Although turret-mounted defense systems of various kinds are able to be built, from torpedo tubes, to gauss cannons, heavy duty ultrasound-based weaponry (a lot of the aquatic enemy offensive tech is based on sonic weapons, and while many of the alien citters can take it, as well as dish it out, and some, armored from ears to arse'ole, can really take a beating, even from tanks mounting torpedo launchers or heavy gauss cannons, their weaponry is just so far superior to anything available to begin with that can be bought from the worlds' governments to fight back, that any combat diver that gets so much as clipped by a burst from their lightest pistol is liable to end up as meat-mulch, and their rifles are almost guaranteed to kill with a single shot, so stealth is vital. And their damned grenades, long ranged stunning launcher weapons, can take out an entire squad if you aren't careful. They have heavier than that, too, ultrasound cannon type weapons that you've got absolutely no chance against, until late on when HEAVY, shielded armor is available through research, they aren't quick, but they can tear an unmanned drone tank to scrap metal with one pull of the trigger.)

Very much outgunned. And their submersible craft are pretty nasty customers to boot. But, it looks like it's going well for me right now, as I just happened to catch 4-5 craft, as well as a tiny 1-man (well, it wasn't a man, it was more...something like a 12 foot tall, cybernetically enhances, 6-limbed sentient, and extremely tough lobster, capable of seeing in multiple visual spectra, eyes hooked into mechanical targeting systems, and generally as vicious as the day is long, and tough as boiled boot leather. Even unarmed those bugs are dangerous, with two pairs of claws able to tear apart armor, even tank plating.

Shot the scout craft down, along with a medium-sized cruiser, also shot down, air patrols caught them at it building a base of operations too, which makes two of their bases now on my kill-shortlist, and one already exterminated, the nerve center that controls the entire facility fried extra crispy with a burst from one of their sonic rifles, captured and researched, and now being used against their former owners. Followed by several of their powerful sonic pulse grenades, before a team of aquanauts dropped in from above, and set about the base highest-ranking commanders with cryogenic tazer type shock prods, frozen solid and dragged back, alive as a lobster-man ice-lolly, first for interrogation, then for dissection.

And hung about, scouting their first colony, until I was quite sure that every single one of the enemy forces had been either killed outright, or captured, unconscious. Occasionally, just for good measure, if I'd stunned certain particularly hazardous breeds of critter, following it up with a high explosive shell, to make  sure they would never be waking up again (which they can, particularly if hit hard enough to daze them with regular weaponry intended for killing them, rather than capturing them, they can shake it off in time and suddenly wake, to start raising hell again. So one specimen for certain kinds, the worst of the worst and any others brought in alive were made to be otherwise :P)

Just found a HUGE craft, touched down of it's own accord, not shot down. Some huge bloody great big battlecruiser, dreadnought type monstrosity that I doubt every interceptor, assault craft in the fleet, from every base I HAVE,  could have brought it down, if lucky, they might, by attrition, get a few shots off each, if using nuclear-tipped torpedoes, before the craft would  have gotten lucky with it's own weapons batteries and evaporated my interceptor craft in a single shot, they might survive one, IF they were extremely lucky, and only got grazed, but nothing more, and the only way currently I can bring these super-sized assault craft to heel, is by sending in interceptors I expect to serve more or less as sacrifices, attacking in swarms, each firing torpedoes, then disengaging, for more craft to come in and rain down a nuclear holocaust on the bastards.

THIS one, is going to be a prize however, for my research and development teams, because it wasn't shot down at all, it landed on one of their own missions, doubtless about to start some major-scale kind of trouble. But I caught them at it with their pants down and their balls hanging out, so to speak, as  they were preparing. Sent in a 10 man squad plus a drone tank, heavily armed, and now able to use their heavy cannon weapons, if I can capture them in the field. Can't send the cannons off in the dropship subs yet because I haven't finished researching the ammunition.

NOW these little fuckers are in for a scrap and a half (although so am I, this is a HUGE craft). But the technology that will be in and on it, will be worth a lot of research and development data, likewise potential for a lot of live captures (with a fan made hack patch that updates it and broadens the scope of the game, when capturing live  alien forces, they shorten the time it takes to complete other research too, which is immensely valuable). To nothing of things like propulsions and guidance systems, armaments. And plenty of loot to sell off on the black markets to fund the campaign (X-com get funded by national govts. but a lot more money can be made by selling alien tech at ridiculously high prices to shady types).

Then it'll be a matter of taking out the trash, so to speak, dealing with the crashed medium-sized vessel, which currently I am just about armed well enough to take down, with several attack craft. There is one of their's, medium sized, landed too but I don't know if I'll be able to deal with it, just about, if I'm lucky, as all my attack craft are refuelling and rearming, and my troop transport will need to be refuelled too. It's landed, not crashed. I might be able to keep the enemy from destroying the crashed medium sized one, by repeatedly sending interceptor craft (they attempt to destroy their technology and will do so if they have enough time, but it doesn't happen whilst a craft is actively approaching a crash site, to prevent the game from just having missions disappear too quickly. So I'll keep sending relays of craft, one after the other forward and back, to keep it there. Pin it down. Not sure what I'm going to do about the mediumweight cruiser or escort, whatever it is, it's dangerous, but if I can just get the craft refuelled in time, two of them, maybe three, and get them to the crash site in time while the transport dropship refuels, I can have them hovering overhead. Don't think I'll be able to stop them completing their mission, whatever it is. But, I might at least be able to punish them for it in a manner they won't forget, waiting overhead for them to take off so the interceptors can meatpaste the buggers.

Well here goes nothing. This, is going to get ugly, I can tell, given the size of this bastard.

This is actually my "friend's" ass and his nice carry rig (I AM the photographer, par excellence nice pic of a carry rig, right?), but we have all decided to not use Levi's anymore after they donated a crazy bunch of money to getting rid of our guns.

No more Levi products for this redneck.

He carries a quite a bit more "fancy" version of the same weapon I carry. (his is like wearing jewelry or some shit. I give him shit all the time Ours both shoot the same, within the shooters capabilities, but his is SO pretty) Like minds and all.


This movement by Levi is just another one of those "take guns away from law abiding citizens to keep criminals from using guns" things. It is just stupid!

Well, it's official....Carla and I have decided (after much hemming and hawwing by me) that for our 30th wedding anniversary we will go to Iceland and maybe, hopefully witness an eruption and experience the great hospitality of the Icelandic people.  I cannot think of the 18 or so hours it would take us to go to Hawaii and the untold dollars to go there.  As my late friend put it, "When going to Hawaii, pack your suitcase, then open it and throw everything out and and just pack cash."  At least Iceland is only a 6 hour flight from Logan airport, and since I'll be 66. it will be now or never.  Besides, my gut feeling is that then will be the time to do it!   8)

Try to be less boring than I was when I went to Iceland 20 years ago. In the days before online bookings were common, so I booked via phone (Flight Centre was the best known flight booking agency back then).

Flight Centre told me that the cheapest flight from London to New York was via Iceland, and would I be okay with that?

I said "yes, and by the way would it cost any more to do a 24 hour stopover?".

The answer from Flight Centre was "no" so I scheduled a 24 hour stopover on the way back from New York to London.

By the time I found a hotel and checked in and all that I just fell asleep. When I woke up I went out and walked around Reykjavik, looked at the fishing boats and marvelled at how clean the water was, went to a supermarket and saw all the tropical fruits and stuff that they grow in the greenhouses. Then got a taxi back to the airport. The taxi driver told me to come back in summer when it's only dark for a couple of hours at midnight. I always meant to go back some day in Summer, never did.

I can't remember exactly when it was, around late September or early October I think. It was cool in Reykjavik. It's a cool temperate climate so cool weather is not that uncommon there.

Just taken my night time morphine shot, 20mg oxy IR and night time dose of chlormethiazole (seizure med), cimetidine (stomach med, helps pain meds avoid metabolism longer too) and antibiotic. Might take a sleeping pill when I actually go to sleep.

But, while it's just beginning to do it's thing, I'm going to stay up, enjoy the relaxation, smoke cigars and probably eat 2-3 tubs of ice cream, plus a carton of cold guava juice and one of watermelon juice to wash it down. Or rather than ice cream, I've both canned custard and canned ice cream in the fridge. I might have some of that instead. I never have either hot, I like cold rice pudding far more than I like it hot, it tastes much better and the thicker texture is far more appealing on a spazzy sensory level too. In fact, I'm going to finish my cigar, grab a  hdnful of the candies  I've been eating (got £3 worth of 5p candies, a mixed selection, although I've eaten all the jelly lizards and all the banana flavoured foam candy toothbrushes. All thats left are the big blue pairs of lips, that taste of blue raspberry with hints of bubblegum. Had been saving the best for last)

While I finish the mission I'm on in my X-com-terror from the deep game, probably play two or three more, as I've hunted down at least two alien bases. Both will be in need of being exterminated, the moment I finish research on my sonic cannon ammunition R&D project so the combat dive teams have something better than sonic rifles and confined antiproton shell-firing gauss rifles. If I can get body armor research done in time to make some for the squad  AND wipe out both bases within the month then I will. Otherwise  they'll have to go in packing sonic and gauss rifles plus a fuckton of explosives, a pair of gas-powered bolt-thrower cannons with a magazine each for both of high explosive tipped bolts and incendiary tipped bolts, plus one guy with both a sonic rifle and  a heavy infantry version of the gas cannons, basically a miniaturized, fully automatic torpedo launcher, capable of using either armor-piercing bolts, high explosive mini-torpedoes or white phosphorus torpedoes. Might give that guy an extra clip of both HE and IC rounds, as automatic fire can use up all the rounds in a mag pretty fast. Plus cryogenic shock prods for close combat stunning and capturing living specimens.

Got a medium sized cruiser or assault craft downed though first that I'm part way through killing everything or else taking them alive as many as possible. Nearly done I think. Just a handful of the tough as nails giant mutated cybernetically enhanced, armored and armed to fuck aliens in their craft, hiding. It's down to a bug hunt now.

Icelandic people can still read the old Viking texts, and they still name their children as the Vikings did. They are a lot closer to the Vikings in terms of culture and language and genetically than are other Scandinavian people. I read that some time ago, not sure how true it is.

Food there is pretty good, they have lots of fresh seafood oddly enough.

It's actually a cool temperate climate, not nearly as cold as people imagine based on the name and how far North it is. In Winter Reykjavik is often warmer than New York and London.

The surrounding ocean is a good moderator of temps.  We will most likely go in summer and it will be interesting to experience the midnight sun.  I have heard about their embracing their Viking roots and it is at the core of their living in such a geologically active place.  Their ingenuity in making it work for them is legendary.   8)

I am SO fucked off right now, I could commit murder without the slightest hesitation or regret. (a specific fucking cunting sack of excrement, well two of them  actually, not just randomly murdering someone)

Someone has  done something so,SO  disgustingly abhorrent and so damn far beyond the pale, before the sick  fuck in question started  laughing about how they wronged a vulnerable, physically disabled special needs  girl, and got away after robbing her, while she screamed in helpless fury and misery, before her father could catch them and beat the fuck out of them, mocking her as a 'spazz' (and unlike us, this is some NT piece of dog shit, and they mean it to mock the girl)

I want to find these bastards and rip out their fucking throats.

Lucky as  fuck that I don't know  them, or I  quite literally, would batter them to within a nanometer of death, before tying a rope to their dick, and using it to drag them to the home of the girl, taking her stolen wheelchair with me, so I could force them on the shattered remnants of what used to be their knees, to lick the dirt, with their eyes closed, and BEG that poor girl, for permission to plead for forgiveness. And if she wouldn't deign to forgive. I'd execute them both.

And they should have a good idea about the response they'd get, too, because I've let people have it from both barrels before for a lot less disrespect towards those with special needs or MR than that.

Tne 'gibberings' threads themselves, (there  is a series, they change title once one gets so long it starts to bugger about with the database) are generally people                  about casually in the EADD subforum. But I  don't think, given the specific poster, that this is a hoax.

In any case, I'm  busily raising the mob with the pitchforks and flaming torches, to hound them out, and turn them into a despised pariah.

We play #7 ranked Washington Huskies this saturday, so we at least have to lose by less than 10 points to maintain our #17 ranking.

Hopefully we can pull off the upset that slipped out of our fingers against Stanford. If we did, that could push us into the top 10 for the first time since 2014.   8)

That does really suck. Especially since your niece isn't the only person to do that. I've seen a fair amount of people interacting with rescue animals on Facebook, especially dogs and cats.
I did not ask if she knew there was a policy against this horrid behavior of posting cutesy pics of animals who need a new home or not.

I did ask how the fuck some asshole place fires a volunteer. She just said they do so and she is no longer wanted there, except for about twenty other people who volunteer there.
 :zombiefuck:

Going back to this for a moment. I just found out that most of the asshole management are gone and my niece has her old "volunteer" job back.
Not that she will ever need to keep a job, but she really loves to work with animals in need.

I am very happy for her.

Icelandic people can still read the old Viking texts, and they still name their children as the Vikings did. They are a lot closer to the Vikings in terms of culture and language and genetically than are other Scandinavian people. I read that some time ago, not sure how true it is.

They protect their language in a way most countries wouldn't dream of doing but I don't know if they are genetically closer to the Vikings or not. How do you define that?

Can't say as I've much cause to keep track of human running speeds; two reasons: A- I don'T DO sport, bores the shite out of me; and B-I very, very rarely ever run. Whilst I can put a sprint on and run fairly fast over short distances, I'll pay for it later, with interest. And it'll hurt like fuck at the time too.

Besides, areally hilarious 'joke'. So funny I forgot to laugh. In really bad taste for one, and for two, just not the place of some fucking upstart NT to speak so.

And just a quick bit of brown reloaded into the little glass pipe used for same before sticking my boots  on, getting the protective gear and getting started. Just plonked the chemicals, or some of them, the ones that I could grab hold of them at one time, on top of the cooker temporarily, while I smoke this, and a cigar, have a few swigs of coke then get ready to recrystallize my starting material and get it nice and pure when tested by means of assay of the melting point,


Ooh, just remembered, have to set up the vacuum line for filtration. Much more convenient to get it set up BEFORE starting work than when one is about to need it. That way I can just hook up the line and turn on the vacuum, rather than fiddling about having to set up the equipment itself while something is already cooling in a flask etc.

Rather pleased right now, one of my hotplate-magnetic stirrers had for some reason, the motor that drives the magnets had shat itself and died, old man is pretty handy with electronics, (built his own tube amp for  his guitar etc), he went through a thorough diagnostic on it but couldn't see why it wasn't working, when it should have been.

But, by pure damn luck, my old man found a motor that, whilst not precisely the right size, would fit in as a replacement with some holees drilled in a metal mount and bolted in. Random motor, the right size and more or less the right voltage, he doesn't know where it came from, just random luck. Murphy's law in reverse. It's fitted in now, and it works. When it's told to heat, it heats, when it's programmed to spin up, it does so at the right speed. Sorted.

Reading a biography of Warren Zevon, a rock and roller from the 70's and 80's.  By his ex wife Crystal Zevon, with his collaboration and permission before he died in 2003.   Quite a roller coaster reader, the man was brilliant, but seriously fucked up from his childhood till the end.  Alcohol, drugs and sex, mostly alcohol ruled.  Parents, seriously screwed him up. 

I've been into R&R biographies the last year, Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac fame (talk about sex, drugs and rock and roll), Greg Lake, John Fogarty, Billy Joel, Samantha Fox (the UK singer, not the porn star), etc.   But, this one is a slow read to say the least.  I can only handle a chapter or two, before I feel exhausted.  The title, I'll sleep when I'm dead; the dirty life and times of Warren Zevon.   Fascinating read to say the least, but, sad and depressing.

Every once in a while I see something that reminds me that not all people are assholes.  Today I was shopping and headed for the express check out line.  Over in the next aisle was a lady with a full shopping cart.  As she was unloading, an elderly man shuffled up with 2 things in his smaller cart.  The lady saw this and stopped unloading and told the elder that he should go before her since he had only two items.  He deferred for a bit, but, the lady nicely insisted that he should go and continued to put the stuff BACK into her cart and move to allow him to get in front of her.  Which he did.  He was cashed out and as he finished, he reached his hand out to the lady to thank her for her kindness.  They shook hands and she was smiling and so was he.  As I watched, I couldn't help but smile myself at this random act of kindness. 

It does give one hope!

That thread about people's should-have-been inventions, has actually given me a bit of inspiration, to do some digging  about some of those antiquated  tertiary alkynol type sedative-hypnotics.

Decided to check one of them out as a start point, methylpentynol, fairly simple synthesis, ethynylation of the common solvent MEK (methyl ethyl ketone, butanone) with sodium acetylide. I'm currently looking into alternative routes to produce the acetylide itself, as the standard route involves dropping sodium metal into anhydrous liquid ammonia, before bubbling in acetylene gas. Condensing the NH3 is a nuisance though, one I tend to prefer to work around wherever possible.

Wondering if gassing a suspension of sodium metal in an inert solvent such as diethyl ether with anhydrous ammonia gas might work, it does indeed form the solvated electron blue when the same is done with lithium metal, when performing a reduction akin to the Birch-Benkeser reduction (Li or Na in anhydrous ammonia, often used for reduction of pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine, although in this case, it's the solvated sodium cation that's more important)

Or, possibly there might be an easy way around it, sort of, in that at least lithium acetylide (aka lithium carbide) can be produced in an analogous way to calcium carbide, which is made by heating quicklime and carbon dust together to about 2000 'C.  So I'm thinking either do so, build a furnace to perform the reaction in question, and go with the lithium carbide,  or try the  reaction with commercially available calcium carbide which is fairly common. If no results, I could still use it for generating the acetylene needed to make sodium acetylide/carbide the old fashioned way, in anhydrous ammonia.

Being a passenger and not having to control the car would make it a lot safer to slyly pull the door handle to open it, before kicking the door outward, HARD, right into the pig in order to knock him down before taking control of the car and running the porcine piece of filth over, repeatedly, reversing over him, accelerating to top speed in top gear into his face as he tries to get up if the first attempt proves not to be fatal, before repeating the process enough times to make sure the dirty bastard is dead, and in case of  there being a camera in the pig car, siphon the fuel out of their tank, all over the inside of the car, after first dragging the pig's body or unconscious pig inside,covering It in fuel from trotters to snout, and throwing in a match. Make sure the motherfucking filthy donut-munching swine burns.

Hopefully just after fatal burns are inflicted, It'll regain consciousness just long enough to experience the agony of being burnt to death.

A youngster, twenty four years old, ignored a stopped school bus at seven thirty in the morning and tried to pass, while texting and killed three young children, severely injuring a fourth one.

Next day, she is out on fifteen thousand dollar bond. So Daddy pops down ten percent ($1500) and she goes free until they can set up a trial.
I think this irresponsible person should not have the privilege of a view of the sky for decades.

I see this all the time. People in too much of a hurry to offer the common courtesy to allow a safe place for children and young parents to use the school transportation. A hell of a lot of them do not even slow down in front of the school zones.

I agree. When I first got a mobile phone I texted while driving once. Never again. I didn't cause an accident or any near hits but I was aware of how much attention it took from driving and keeping an eye on the road and other traffic.

And why they don't understand that simple fact is beyond me.

Exactly. I consider talking on a phone while driving to be too distracting. I always pull into a parking lot when my phone rings. I do not ever want to chance the inevitable.

I see it all the time, though.

I shut it off most of the time, then I'll check it when I get to where I'm going.

SO is another story, it makes him batshit insane when I shut my phone off  ;). His mother is the same way, she has the "hands free" shit in her ride. Don't enjoy traveling anywhere outside of 5 miles with either of them.

He'll blow up my phone texting me from the other room ffs. Then dies when I open up the door and throw the phone out. Damn thing has been throw so often I'm surprised disappointed it still works.  :laugh:

Yes, my car automatically connects to my phone when I get in, but I still do not take phone calls, even "free hands" calls. I always pull over into a safe place before I answer even considering that high techy convenience.
I just do not trust other drivers enough to allow for me to be a complete idiot while I am trying to drive.

Go over the really important shit first...like how to get the alarm to shut off and how not to lock herself out.

First damn car I've ever had with power windows, locks, and an alarm. Little shit has been a learning curve to say the least.

Yeah. Just back in the summer I bought for the first time in my life - knew it all from radio, never needed to own any of it - a Donavan album and enjoyed the nostalgia and the memories listening to it invoked.

I heard him a couple of weeks ago (you tube, mind you, but still disturbing) and I was almost "truamatized"  by just how not so Donovan he sounded.
Shit, even older than he, Eric Burdan, John Kay, Justin Hayward all sound about/not that far away from the same as they did in those ancient times.

Have yet to hear Garfunkel.

Yeah, it was security stuff going on with her Lincoln that made us go ahead and jump to this new car.
We have studied the "RTFM" manual and watched a few vids covering some of this and it seems that as long as (everything is working as it should   :GA:) AND
as long as she has her remote, there is not going to be a problem.
 :dunno:

Hoping that all the tech crap does not put her off too much.

SO far no problems. She LOVES her new car!  So do I. That pudgy old man looking car can fucking haul ass if I want. It is not bad at all. If my memory is as accurate as I think it is this thing may have a step over my old '70 Mach 1 in its stock format. This Chrysler 300S really does sing.

Of course, I had to upgrade that Mustang and when I got into the low twelves in the quarter, I felt better.

My first car was a '63 Dodge and it had power windows. Locks were powered, but you had to push the door handle forward (like all on purpose and shit), power everything and factory air conditioning, along with a push button transmission, not unlike her "dial" transmission.
My old girl did not have push button start, though. That took a lesson or two.

She has the keyless entry function, but she has to have her remote for it to go painlessly. Otherwise it is up to making sure our satellite tech stuff is paid up to make sure the car will start and go without a key. Seems stupid, kind of, if you lose one the other one is probably attached. That is why the satellite stuff is so important to keep current. She can still drive home after losing her keys and shit, if that ever happens.

Just had a chat with Amber and before that a chat with a member of the Rochester NH police force.  In a nutshell, she is breaking up with a 3 month boyfriend named "human" who A) has no car, B) no job...that we know of... C) has housing because of public assistance.  He, "human" has accused US of manipulating her at 26 years of age and yet he has wanted her to lie to whoever, that she is living with him, so he can get a better apartment.  She's had enough and so have Carla and I.  AND I am the one to deal with this.  The red eyed demon inside me wants to put a major hurting, if not death on this asshole.  BUT, Amber is the one to tell me how I can help and support her.  So I exercise restraint.  And the police officer was quite informative and supportive.  And they know him as well, because of his paranoia about them.   ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

I follow Amber's lead after a long talk with her.  I've got her back!

I heard Rod Stewart spontaneously singing a few songs during a TV interview recently. He sounds exactly the same as he ever did. He isn't ancient though, he is 73. That seems ancient when you're 25, sure, but not so much when you're my age.

Still, similar age to Art Garfunkel and Donovan.

Can't say I've got a huge amount of sympathy for them. They got to be rock stars (well pop stars anyway), made lots of money, and had a great talent that lasted them many years. Time catches up with all of us, but these guys don't need to feel shortchanged because their singing voices didn't fare well in their old age.

I tend to agree with you in that they should not feel shortchanged, but the fans still look on their aging and that drills home just how old we feel.

I do not know your age, so that part means nothing to me. I am sixty three and I am losing the battle of aging.
It takes a lot more internal push these days to get things done. But I push. :viking:

I bought Sir Paul's recent concert series on Blu-ray. He definitely surrounds himself with talent. The vid is worth watching, if not worth the price to own. I also, at the same time, bought a concert video collection from the Wings era. There IS a huge difference, but HEY! It's McCartney.

I plan on buying his newest, yet to be released, as well.

I watched a few snippets of the program where he and his son were touring historical places. I felt like the kid from the "Sixth Sense" movie, but instead of dead people ...

Have not heard him sing lately, though. I will have to go find some.

OH and singing is way different from talking. Intelligibly or otherwise.
Mel Tillis, might be unknown to most, but I met him at The Grand Ole Opry one night and I was amazed at just how troubled he was in an unforeseeable situation. He had his handlers with him, but he still tried to identify with my father who was already known to him but they had only recently met. I almost cried for him. He just wanted to voice his appreciation for the things my father had done in the industry and he could not. My dad got it, though and he did cry.

They had him do stuff on television in the seventies and he stuttered a bit. In real life he stuttered so terribly that he was almost unintelligible. BUt give a rythym and a melody and it all went away and there was no stuttering, NONE what so ever.


Not sure how I got off on that track, but singing is different from talking.

Ghoti

A possible misspelling of  the word,  "fish."

There are so many of these popping up and some are actually funny.

To explain :

gh=f   from the sound used in cough, rough, tough, etc
o= i   as in the common mispronunciation of the word "women"
ti= sh   as in the words  action, infraction or all other -tion words

If this shows up as interesting, I can post a link if need be.

Thinking that UPS can be hardcore.

Five years ago, they bought a freight company and kept all the employees with the understanding that they were now UPS employees and subject to following the UPS handbook, like safety concerns.
Well these new guys are still acting like independents, won't wear the uniform, prefer their tennis shoes and cowboy boots, disable GPS trackers installed in the trucks (so they can take on short work, not UPS) and thumbing their noses at required safety issues. They have rejected the new contract passed by the existing union members.

This division of the company is planning to strike on Saturday in an effort to re-open contract negotiations. Something like two thousand drivers plan to walk out and begin forming picket lines all across the country, which no other union members are allowed to cross for their work.

Tomorrow, UPS is going to close the doors on that division, end it, fire around two thousand wiley drivers, re-paint the trucks, fix the onboard GPS systems, promote in house drivers to those very desirable, high paying jobs and hire many more to replace those promoted from the ranks.

This is going to cost them a small fortune, but it is truly hardcore.

The union contract has passed, guys. Deal with it or go home.

^^^ My buddy who was a FedEx Ground driver used to call UPS "The Brown Shirts".

Not too many people got the reference.

It sounds like a hellish place to work for if you ask me.

My buddy had to disable his GPS tracker to make deliveries for FedEx. There were consistent packages he had to deliver out to BFE. Instead of delivering them himself, he'd give them to a taxi driver he was friends with and gave her cash to deliver them. He actually made more money that way (didn't have to drive 15 miles out of his way in a gas guzzling delivery truck) and the customer always got their package.

The truth is, the corporate model for package delivery is often inefficient and a delivery driver who is resourceful and can improvise on the fly, does a better job for less money.

Yeah it is definitely a tough place and my sweet wife has managed to muscle over it all for seventeen years. In March she will only have two years to go in order to retire with full pay which will continue until her death.
Full payment is assessed at the time of her retirement - getting her to step down from her high paying job is going to be a corporate sanctioned goal over the coming two years. Bastards, they have done it to many others. They do not know how tough this old lady is though.

The super health care is only partially funded at that point, however. It takes thirty years of "service" to get that full benefit. We will have to find another type of med plan as a supplement.

Well, the Amber "exboyfriend drama" reached a peak last night.  Amber had cut off "Human", his legal name.  And so he decided to call Carla and left a rather threatening message on her voice mail.  Not wanting to "escalate things".  So against our better judgement, we urged Amber to meet with him and speak to him.....on the following conditions.  A) They will meet in a public place...the local YMCA open waiting room, B) he had 15 minutes to plead his case and then she would go to her Kung-Fu class.  Which he said ok.   And I would drive her there and stay until he arrived and was speaking with her and then I would leave to go outside.  Well, in a nutshell, we got there, he showed up and demanded Amber speak with him in a PRIVATE conference room.  Amber said an emphatic NO!  That she would only talk with him in the open lobby with witnesses and all that.  He would not isolate her.  I went outside as I heard her tell "Human" (aka David Montenegro)(Yes, I am doxxing him, but his name is readily available on line.) it's meet here or nothing.  10 minutes later I got a text from her to "Get in here".  Apparently he started to be threatening to Amber and the staff intervened.  The director of the Y and a coach took him upstairs to tell him to back off or leave.  The desk clerk was consoling Amber who was seriously distraught.  The staff told Amber that she did everything right.  They told him to leave...immediately.  They came back down stairs and he starts bullying her to talk with him privately, by then the Sensei or Kung Fu Teacher comes out and stand there as the female coach and female admin. stand between him and us.  Now the teacher stands there very quietly, arms crossed and keeps his eye on "human".  I feel myself getting more and more angry with him as I start to loudly say, "leave us alone, and go away"  more or less.  And I see this glint in "humans" eye that he loves seeing me escalate.  The same look on my "mothers" face when she nearly pushed my buttons to almost attack her during the big rift years ago.  I manage to ratchet myself down and repeatedly say, "go away and never speak to us again, it's over."  Then he starts in on me by saying lets talk, again, in a private room.  I say NO.  human keeps repeating the same thing over and over again.  Finally, the staff tells him in no uncertain terms to LEAVE the Y premises.  The Kung Fu teacher, then takes him outside for about 10-15 minutes to "speak" with him.  The upshot is, that "human" finally was persuaded to get on his bike and leave.  (He has no car)  Amber wants to forget class and go home.  Oh, but, before that, she goes into the class room during the confrontation to get away from him, "human" follows her. THEN the Teacher/Sensei takes him outside.   She tries to do the class, but, she is too upset to continue.  So the desk clerk, who has been very supportive and I talk and I go out to the car to get my book to read.  I am offered an escort, which I decline, I am not afraid of this jerktard.  I come back in and proceed to call the police to report the incident.  As I am on the phone, Amber and the teacher come out, and it's obvious...she is coming home.  The Kung Fu teacher is supportive and we leave.

I think this is the end of the issue......NOT.  At eleven at night, a police officer comes by, rings the bell and presents us with a form called, "Trespass Notice"  forbidding us to come near "humans" residence.....I start to laugh, the poor cop, who knows "human" very well looks embarrassed as he explains the form.  Apparently. "human" went directly to the police station to get this order in a fit of pique.  Now this is no problem to me and Amber, we sign it, the cop gives us our copies as we give our side of what happened.  "human" hates cops and he is always attacking them...(I will spare you the details) , so this just hits me as a petty and vindictive last ditch dig at us.  Carla and Amber have blocked his number on their phones.  So I go to bed and Carla who is still awake asks me what happened.  I give her the details and she starts to laugh with me at his petty and vindictive little swipe.   It's been nearly 24 hours and we haven't heard a peep more from him.  I signed up for the Kung Fu class with Amber as something I could us myself for mental discipline and control. 

If this sounds confusing to you, put yourself in my shoes living this shit.  Either way, he is out of our lives and we are in control of the situation.

Rock Hound, be very careful. Take extra precautions with your daughter. "Human" is dangerous, very likely a sociopath. Bad things happen around people like that. He is very likely stewing right now on the perceived injustice done to him and planning his next move.

Your point is well taken and heeded.  The staff at the YMCA will be very willing witnesses.  And he is near being banned from their facility as he has made many others uncomfortable and his actions last night are the talk of the staff.  We are taking all precautions right now and while he has no grounds for a court order, we are well documented to get one for ourselves.  We are vigilant.

Rockhound...tell her not to be paranoid, but just to keep on her toes for awhile. 

This is coming from someone who dated a lot of princes that turned out to be similar toads. ;)

Experience makes me doubt that you've heard the last from him yet and probably won't until he finds someone else to feed off of.

You took the words right out of my mouth.  Without a car, we live far enough away from him to make it difficult for him to get to us.  He was pretty reliant on Amber to drive him.  Plus, I spoke to the court and police as a consultation.  And I am keeping things on file to use if this goes any further.   We already have the grounds to get a court order of protection and his would be laughed out of court.  He is a bit of a sociopath, but, my gut also feels he is a coward and the local cops would love nothing better than to arrest him. 

Btw, it's Rochester NH where he lives.

Sounds like you all did.

Trespass Notice - what a nerve, heh.

The university people who organised my software testing course have passed on to me an opportunity to do a scholarship with a bank in the city for three months. I do my banking with them so it's a bit of a coincidence. The best part is whoever gets the scholarship gets paid $10,000. I would be able to pay off my small credit card debt and get my car fully fixed. I have to go back to Tafe though, but I only need to study one unit which would make me a part-time student. I will take the unit from Certificate IV in Web Development.

I have to submit a resumé, a cover letter, proof of my nationality and proof of my diagnosis (because it's for those on the spectrum). I'll work on the cover letter this weekend. Everything has to be submitted by the 23rd of this month.

I haven't given up on my desire to do proofreading. My mental health case worker mentioned a low-cost small business course I can do in the city. She's done it and gave me the booklets she received from it. Normally my eyes glaze over when the word "business" is mentioned but I've read some of the booklets and it actually seems interesting. Something I'd like to learn.

I've actually been heavily involved in software testing over the past 6 months. It's a pretty tough field to get into. Shouldn't be, but it is, because you're competing with a lot of highly experienced software developers and business analysts who have slipped into software testing roles.

There's writing test cases, running test scenarios, creating data, finding issues and raising tickets. All sorts of fun things you can do in the testing field.

Let me know if you've got any questions - ask away on the forum or via PM.

My mother was always telling me to put socks on for walking around the house when I was a kid.

Now my wife is always telling our kids not to wear socks around the house because they "mopping the floor" with their socks, i.e. socks pick up all sorts of dirt and gross stuff which then gets walked through the rest of the house and ends up in the washing machine.

When I lived in England the landlady was always warning me not to wear socks around the B&B I lived at for more than a year because I would slip and fall down the stairs.

It seems that the rules about wearing socks around the house are entirely arbitrary.

Thinking they have me wrong somehow in their records.
For the third time this month, someone came to my door this morning from the Veterans Administration to offer me updated information about the benefits available to me as a veteran.

I have never served in that way. I tried twice, once was even a week long mock boot camp enlistment thing.

When I worked at the, now closed, army fort (Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis) as a civilian contractor (photographer) I had to have access to many secure areas to do my job and I had to have a military ID in order to enter some of these areas.
I also had to show the same DOD issued ID when entering a closed to the public Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois where I also did some work.

It was a true and proper ID and I was told that it gave me access to all the base's amenities, including the gyms, PX, theater and jogging paths.
I never used it that way. I felt that I had not earned the right, just because I used my extensive skills to win a contract.

Anyway, they have me down as having served from '90 to '94, while I was running around taking pictures of REAL service folk.

As far as I know that ID expired the second those bases closed. I do not want them to waste any more of their time informing me.
None of these benefits apply to me.

 

SHIT! I mean do not come the nice houses in the suburbs - Go find that guy that lives under the fucking expressway overpass with winter coming on. HELP HIM!

If I can remember correctly, that is the "A"  loading of the paper roll. Flipping it around, considered the "B"  loading was something we had to do after our cat discovered that she could just stand tall and rip it all off the roll and make herself a bed.

Thankfully, the cat prefers plastic bags for a quick bed these days.

892 million people practice open defecation.

I worked in an office building once and it was next to the river. People used to squat at the edge of the river and poop into the water. It must be so liberating not having to worry about peeing on the seat or forgetting to flush.

I heard Rod Stewart spontaneously singing a few songs during a TV interview recently. He sounds exactly the same as he ever did. He isn't ancient though, he is 73. That seems ancient when you're 25, sure, but not so much when you're my age.

Still, similar age to Art Garfunkel and Donovan.

Can't say I've got a huge amount of sympathy for them. They got to be rock stars (well pop stars anyway), made lots of money, and had a great talent that lasted them many years. Time catches up with all of us, but these guys don't need to feel shortchanged because their singing voices didn't fare well in their old age.

My sympathy is really for the loss of the voice, not the career, money, etc.

And yeah, Rod Stewart seems to have kept more of it. Of course, he never had anywhere near the range or precision of Garfunkel, but still.

For some reason a Dame Vera Lynn performance came up on my youtube feed. I guess because my son is always watching youtube videos about WW2.

She was 78 years old and still brilliant. She's still kicking at 101 years old now, but I think that was her last performance (in 1995).

It's probably ethnically quite accurate too. The more brown holes in the ground, the more 3rd world the country, and the browner the inhabitants, so either both poetic and succinctly ironic.

Well, the jerkwad emotionally abusive exboyfriend of Amber has not been heard from in a couple of weeks.  He wants us to pay him for the stuff he GAVE her, but, we are ignoring him.  And Amber and I are doing two nights of Kung-Fu at the YMCA together.  Since she doesn't want to be there alone in the evening without back up.  I love the class, it's good for my focus and physical well being.  Plus, it allows her to throw her old man around!    :laugh:

I found a tool box on the side of the road a bit ago. Obviously something that fell off a construction truck.
I never pass up tools when I see them on the road.

Today it turned out to be a box full of trailer locks, to keep scumbags from just driving up and stealing trailers. There were five really nice locks in that box. Someone is going to be sad. One was an Amplock brand which goes for over a hundred dollars. The others were simple Master Lock brand which go for around twenty five bucks.

My neighbor, who works in construction, was amazed that I just gave them to him. He said he could offer me some money for them. I told him I got them for free, they just fell out of the sky. Get them into the hands of guys who can use them. All is good.

I have benefited from roadside finds a few times. I have a fabulous pick ax that I probably would never have bought, but it fell out of the sky, so now I have one if I need it. I have actually used it quite a bit, now that I have one.
I also have an enormous sledge hammer that I would NEVER have bought. It is a solid chunk of cast iron (I know it is not actually cast iron, because cast iron does not make a decent hammer, but it looks cast, then maybe hardened) and inscribed on the side is "18 Lbs."  Almost impossible to swing, but I have used it to jockey pavers around while setting them. Just a nudge and big rocks move in the ground.

Many other tools I have found that I kept. I feel fine giving the locks to my neighbor.

That was on the way back from the bank where I deposited my latest hundred rolls of half dollars I bought for silver searching.

I was very excited to get these from outlying counties and smaller banks, hoping that my recent good luck would hold.
I was so excited I did not even post a blow-by-blow account of digging through them all.

Now I am back to reality, since my search was more like most of my searches. Mostly a no go, but not really a waste of time.
Out of one hundred rolls of half dollars, I only found thirty one pieces of silver this time.

They emailed me through the Australian Computer Society who are handling the correspondence, I guess.

The mining company wants uni students. Well, I was at uni. Not doing computer science though. I'll just have to say what I did and hope for the best. I'd prefer the bank position though. They seem more amicable.

You were right, it was fine. The first interview with two people was difficult as they asked me things like what did I find positive about their company and what new(ish) technology could be applied to their work.

There was no assessment like I thought there'd be as that was what was written down in my email from them. Instead we had a visit to their robotics lab and saw a NASA humanoid robot which is usually up on the ISS. It had very dexterous hands. There were a few smaller robotic machines that reminded me of remote control cars but they had some sophisticated cameras on them, measuring body heat for example.

I didn't make an ass of myself and I suppose that's the main thing. My next interview will be with the bank and that's on the 11th.

Discovered a new band earlier, called bleed from within,  a kind of heavy, djent-y techmetal sound to them, but with quite cleanly discernable  bass, guitar, vocals.

Done a cover  of Papa Roach 'blood brothers' off of their 'infest' album. Their own interpretation,  and I quite like it, they add some reverb and  dirty-sounding distortion, as  well as  upping the tempo of the main guitar/bass lick so it's slightly out of sync compared to the original, but it still sounds good to me.

When I was at the bank last week I looked into one of my deposit boxes and placed all the silver I had gleaned recently into storage awaiting a spot price jump.

I had read about a few fake Engelhard silver bars showing up on the market and how you should do a magnet test with a very strong magnet. Suggestion was to buy a neodymium magnet to make sure that no one added a heavy steel or iron bar to the middle of your silver bars. There is also a borax test that you can do because they cut the bars into two pieces and melt out the center (worth about fifteen hundred bucks) to be refilled with an iron ingot worth about ten cents and to seal it back up they used borax as a flux.
Well I did not buy a fancy magnet (actually I have many, but they are set into working speakers) but I went through all my bars and compared the serial numbers to all the title pages I received with each bar. All the titles appear to be legitimate.

I honestly was always so flipped out to get my hands on a new one hundred ounce bar of silver, I just threw the titles into a folder. All my titles match the serial numbers on all twenty four of my bars and so I think I am OK. The embossing of the Engelhard seal would be almost impossible to fake.

I recommend that any of you with silver bars set aside determine if they are real or fake before you have to find out the hard way. Magnet test or whatever. Mine were easy and guaranteed by the leading silver seller on this continent.

Price of silver is down right now, you are right.
I do not know about markets being manipulated much these days. It has happened before, though.

As an investor, the fact that an irreplaceable commodity is having a downturn in value means it is a great time to buy.
Trust me on this. The price will go up.

Some of the bars I own were purchased for around five hundred bucks. Even during this low spot price part of the year they are worth more than double what I paid. Either buy or sit tight right now. Investing in metals can be tricky, but silver is a no-brainer.

Look also into copper investments. Prices are fairly low for that necessary element as well. You do not hoard this though, you buy futures.

If you were to buy yourself a little piece of platinum wire, not too expensive, as it's only needed in a single piece of some of a gauge stiff enough to take up a bit of a solid in distilled water, to apply to a torch flame, borax will give a green colouration to the flame, lighter green than copper and not the apple green of barium ions.

The platinum is used because it's very unreactive and also heat-resistant, won't contaminate the flame colour.

Take a bit up on the tip of the wire, insert into flame. The sodium in borax will add the bright orange sodium D-line characteristic of the emission spectrum of Na, colour of sodium lamp street lighting. But there'll be a green introduction, leaf green I'd call it, a bright leaf green, then that shows that boron is present.

And you can buy small but damn powerful samarium-cobalt magnets online for not too much.

An alternative would be the core, if sliced in half through and through, ought to fail to react to hydrogen sulfide gas after moistening with distilled or de-ionized water (available dirt cheap in auto stores for topping up lead-acid batteries). If you need to know how to make the gas, just let me know, but be aware it's something only to perform OUTSIDE. And only if comfortable in handling it, because H2S is both highly toxic (disrupts the electron transport chain like cyanide gas does, and is similarly fast acting and deadly in sufficient concentration)  and a sneaky, insidious little bastard. Smells foul, gives rotten eggs the characteristic eggy stink, but also, and this is what gets people where the concentration isn't 'one breath and you are dead', the stink is obvious, people then note it has vanished, leaving them to believe that the hydrogen sulfide is no longer present, since the  smell is gone.

It hasn't gone anywhere. It paralyzes the olfactory nerve (temporarily, assuming of course that the individual hasn't been fatally poisoned, as dead people aren't known for their smelling. Not with their noses, at any rate. They are quite good at it with the rest of their putrid bloated rotting guts being  readied to blow out of their ruptured stomachs as corpse-gas builds up and  bursts them open in hot weather :autism:. The loss of sense of smell with dead people though, it tends to be rather long term.....)

So the H2S, still present, has just put on it's ninja hat and pulled a vanishing act, but it's there, alright, it's just stalking it's prey, the  sneaky little bastard.

H2S causes silver to blacken due to a surface layer of silver sulfide forming, this has  a dark colour, a fair proportion of the tarnish silver takes on in jewellery is due to sulfidation thanks to sulfur-containing amino acids in proteins from skin secretions, like  cystine, cysteine, methionine for example.

Never tried using say, a solution of methionine or cyst(e)ine in distilled water as the sodium salt of the amino-acid to solubilize it, although it might work to tarnish silver without needing hydrogen  sulfide itself.

The samarium-cobalt rare earth magnets are cheap, and for their size the magnetic field is remarkably powerful, even in a rod about as wide as  a BB pellet and 2cm long. Platinum wire option too won't cost that much, and it will be reusable, just the one  little piece of stiff wire an inch long or so is  fine.

I've used the H2S test quite a number of times, after dumpster diving, especially after that time I found a big haul of silver, much antique and  readily identifiable visually without testing, but some bright shiny metal that I suspected. So had to whip out the labware and start testing.

Also, one other way to do it, to test silver itself, is that it will dissolve in dilute nitric acid, and if  you want any, I could spare some  easiiy, and  make up a batch for you. Silver, once dissolved to produce aqueous  silver nitrate, is characteristic in that upon the addition of chloride salts, such as table salt, the corresponding metal nitrate is formed, the  silver stealing the halogen atom, to form silver chloride, a white solid substance which is pretty much totally insoluble in H2O, and  so, precipitates out when table salt is added  to silver nitrate, leaving aqueous sodium nitrate dissolved, whilst the solid precipitate crashing out is diagnostic of silver.

Silver chloride, in common with other halides that behave the same in this  reaction, is photosensitive, darkening  with exposure to sunlight, due to it's reacting to form elemetal silver in finely divided state, which looks black. This was used, with silver iodide impregnated stock, in some early black and white/greyscale photographic processes, the camera working by selective exposure of some parts but not others to varying levels of light, darkening the hit portions, as silver  forms, and then the rest processed to remove the silver  salts which aren't developed in the darkroom.

Silver iodide can be formed instead, by using NaI or KI (cheap, if you wanted a bit of HNO3 for testing, I could spare a bit of  an alkali metal iodide to use for the same process. The insoluble  precipitate being diagnostic,  and if iron chloride (ferric chloride) forms, it's soluble in water and  it has a dark green colour in solution.)

Jesse, you keep track of precious metal prices? if so, how is the spot for ruthenium roundabout now? I've been wanting  some for preparing of a rather special, chiral and enantioselective catalyst based on this particular platinum group metal.

This year. As you can see it is down, but late January it usually rebounds.
So, today is a great time to invest.
I feel that those most able to market silver nitrate already have a way to create it in the quantities they can use. Sorry.

I do have a way to make silver nitrate, dissolve silver in nitric acid. Strip off any remaining HNO3 for recovery via distillation, dry out, job done.

And the HNO3? can make it up to 98% concentration, by distilling  a mixture of sodium or potassium nitrate with 98% sulfuric acid. Although it is pretty  vicious stuff at that concentration, the HNO3. H2SO4 of 98% is easy enough to handle, just need to remember if diluting in water, that the acid, goes into the water, not the other way round, or it'll heat to boiling point instantly and spit acid everywhere. And that it absorbs water from the air if exposed for a long time, which means don't really fill a container exposed to air like a beaker to the brim, leave some space for the water it'll inevitably absorb.

And got everything, apart from the silver itself, well, at least not in a form I'd drop in HNO3, which would be a crime almost, to do to lovely antiques.

Quite surprised that the market you posted doesn't track ruthenium. And for my use, it can't just be substituted with platinum, palladium, iridium etc. It has to BE ruthenium, as what I want it for, is preparation of a specific organoruthenium catalyst; which I read about a few days ago, which is capable of certain catalytic hydrogenation type reductions as are many platinum group metal catalysts, but in this case, the catalyst itself is chiral, and depending which isomeric form it is prepared in, it'll give the corresponding isomer of the reduced substrate one subjects to hydrogenation.

Such as enantiopure reduction of imines to amines, using the dextrorotatory catalyst gives the D-amine, and the laevorotatory form of the catalyst, the L-amine. When  many reduction techniques give instead, a racemic mixture, I.e 50:50, and  one either must accept it, or if one over the other is needed, accept 50% waste and resolve the isomers with enantiopure tartaric acid to selectively salt it. Which means a lot more effort, half the material wasted, unless it can be recycled and taken back to a precursor, and subjected to a second run of the reaction to make the product, again getting  the racemic mixture, resolving again, and again, and again, for as many times as is made practical by the initial quantity of product.

Lots of time, lots of buggering about. Compared with preparing the enantiopure target in the first place. Quite obviously an infinitely superior way to go about it. Run the reaction once, perform the reduction once, clean it up to acceptable purity once, not fart about for days getting 50% crap, 50% desired chiral product, cleaning up, running  another  reaction if possible on the waste, in however many steps, however many cleanups for each cycle of recovery. Turning one day and night's work into several weeks potentially.

Bugger that for a lark. So, it seems like I need to be getting myself some ruthenium, the catalyst is reusable too; which is just as well considering it's made from one of the platinum group metals. None of them are cheap, although AFAIK ruthenium is significantly cheaper than platinum or palladium.  But still, the end finished catalyst, if I had to buy it, I'd be paying hundreds of dollars for  1-5g, guaranteed. And I don't need an expense of half a grand or something stupid money like that near xmas. Fuck no, do I hell.

So that means DIY. Someone has  to make the commercial catalysts, so they are makeable, just means I need  to get creative. If the hands of  their chemists performing the same steps to get from ruthenium to a simple salt to work with to eventual complex organoruthenium catalyst, then mine will do the same thing if the same steps are followed, same conditions and purities. One hopes, at any rate. But at least it isn't going to ask me for my CV before deciding whether to work or not :D

I know HNO3 is nitric acid. Only because I have read a fair few of Anne McCaffrey's Dragons of Pern series.

I can remember using it to reverse silver plate on things where there is a flaw or just to recover silver from plated garbage before recycling the steel or brass after you reclaim the silver to your anode.

Why do you call him crush boi if you never intend to get romantic with him??

Well I can't change his pseudonym now otherwise nobody will know who I'm talking about. His name is actually Paul :laugh:
He's a bit of an aromantic/asexual oddity. It's a bit like a straight girl having a gay man best friend.
I'm too ugly for him of he were ever to change his mind anyway :P

Poor her? not at all! she's lucky, a lucky, lucky wee lil bugger!

She has the PR!

To me, that'd make up for the shittiest jobs in the world, coming to homes having to carry a concealed pair of silenced pistols and a long dagger in a wrist-sheath, if I had to do that day in, day out, but knew that once a month, I'd  be honoured by the PR allowing me to speak her name,  hear her voice, that would  make up for it all.

Currently I'm thinking 'SQUEEEEBBLLLEESSS!!!'

My old man just brought in  a big cardboard box, well wrapped, for me. The 5 liter jug of 99.95% purity methylene chloride I ordered on, IIRC, friday. SQUEEBLESSQUEEBLESSQUEEBLES!

I was  running SO low on dichlor, that the tiny bit left in the last lot I bought, a 10 liter jug,  of DCM, there was so little left, that I could pour the remainder into the headspace of the new bottle, and just keep the empty bottle as a solvent resistant bottle for keeping waste solvent after I assign a specific type of waste solvent to it, label as such, for redistillation. That way I don't take up space in the fridge with two big cans but one with no more than a small beaker full. few hundred ml at most. I was gasping for more dichlor, really, really gasping for a refill.

Old man brought in the package and said 'this sounds like it has liquid in it, it's probably yours'

Slit it open, very carefully, and it wasn't quite what I expected, it was the DCM. I'm expecting another package, which is why, containing 3x1 liter bottles of high-concentration (85%) HCOOH (formic acid)

Could have gotten 95%, but more expensive for 500ml when ripoff shipping is included, because they were fucking american sellers.
I HATE american ebay chemical merchants. They make more money in the shipping fees they rip people off for than they charge for their items. Dirty skeezy fucknumpties.

Shit, I've often thought of listing say, 10 and 20, 25, 50g pots of reagent grade red phosphorus, as it's DAMN hard to get in the US, because it's used by a few people with not enough sense to make P2P and use reductive amination, maybe even form an imine and catalytically hydrogenate the imine to reduce it to the amine, in an enantioselective process using a chiral ruthenium catalyst, so no isomer resolution and 50% waste for each cycle taking the laevo-(meth/ethyl)amphetamine crud back to phenylacetone.


And sell them the phosphorus in tiny little packets, charging 50 quid for 10g or something horrid like that, just to get payback, selling ONLY to america. (My phosphorus would be genuine of course, mine is good stuff, got it in a 2 kilogram lot, from a contact who has a contact who can purchase from Sigma-Aldrich; they can get nigh anything, but to us plebs, they wouldn't deign to so much as sell us a drop of their janitor's cat's latest dead mouse's dying squirt of piss for a grand plus half a K shipping.

Hell they'd not even answer emails unless it was to set up an acct, and that only until they realize 'no official affiliation', at which point they'd drop us as if we were white-hot dog turd chunks.

But, I've connections, and as such, 2kg (minus what I've used already) of the best red phossy going :)

Old man brought my package, but it was the 5l dichlor I ordered, still waiting for 3 liters of 85% formic acid and 250g ammonium formate. Which in the first case free shipping, the formic i mean, coming from the UK, as did the DCM, the 250g am.formate, that is courtesy of IIRC, lithuania. Love dealing with russkis, polish and lithuanians, they give what they claim to give and they can ship for nowt, at least on my end.

Can't wait for that ammonium formate to get here, I've got something I've been wanting to try with it for ages, a zinc dust-ammonium formate mediated catalytic transfer hydrogenation type reduction, no Raney nickel, no cobalt boride, no nickel boride, no copper boride even, and certainly no platinum group metalorganics which either are horribly expensive, needing every, single,fucking, microgram recovering, for reuse, right down to the last speck, under a magnifying glass.

One I looked at for something once, to use in combination with IIRC triphenylsilane, Sigma would have charged me over a pound a milligram of catalyst! and their phenylsilane was so awfully pricy that I couldn't afford to do it, I'll have to buy basic, cheap (as they can be had at all) salts of the platinum group metal, iridium IIRC, one of the cheaper ones, or even iridium metal dust and attack it using molten potassium or sodium cyanide to form a hexacyanoiridate, and proceed from there, make it into an iridium oxide, form a halide with say, either bromine, or insert into an inert tube and  use chlorine gas at as close  to 1000 'C as I can get it, to flow over the iridium as  fine, fine dust, as iridium whilst a Pt group metal is one of the cheaper ones, almost no jewelers use. I'm sure I have the phenylsilane procedure and iridium catalyst noted down in one or other of my laboratory notebooks.

(I've  got several. I've had enough hard drive failures in my lifetime not to trust them that much. I'd HATE to lose my whole life's most interesting work, the accounts thereof in detail, albeit cryptic, so only I know what certain things such as 'substrate was added' actually MEAN, I.e just WHAT that substrate actually is. So I keep my lab books on paper, although I ought to copy them to computer as a backup.)

But I LIKE having my lab notes in actual books, books one can pick up, hold in the hand and flick through until finding just what I want, and being able to take them to environments a computer air intake would be harmed by. AFAIK they'd not like things like iodine monochloride or bromine vapour, chlorine gas, nitric acid fumes, mercury vapour, cyanides, azides...I doubt the innards of a laptop would appreciate having the gold stripped off the processor contacts by mercury vapours!

So its  nice, just being able to pick up a paper book I KNOW cannot crash, lest I myself  accidentally drop it into a vat of  corrosives or oxidizers. Or hear the filth try entering, hear the words 'search warrant' and quickly pour out a tray of sulfuric acid, 98-99% concentration, and just drop the notebooks in, knowing no forensic team in the world would be able to recover them.

And hopefully some ignorant fucking swine would put themselves in hospital with worse-than-third-degree depth burns, searing and smoking, where what used to be pork, first became roast pork, then pork scratchings, then a mere lump of H2SO4-impregnated, smoking, acid spitting, SO2-emitting charcoal.

That I NEED to get this nitroalkene reduced to the nitroalkane tonight, and then to the aminoalkane. First though I must recrystallize the nitroalkene, it's a full 20 degrees 'C below melting point.

And surprisingly, when I went to do my morphine shot earlier, I found a vein, easily, usually it's so hard I don't bother and use intramuscular dosing, even anaesthetists have to use ultrasound guidance on me to find one, it's a nuisance. This time though one just showed it's face straight away, had forgotten what THAT felt like...fucking hell. A hell of a rush, when it's dosed IV, near knocked me sideways, even at the for me, low dose of 210mg.
Made my whole face go bright red, same for my hands and feet due to the instant histamine release. Heart racing, but at the same time, in an oddly, very pleasant way.

Love liquorice too, especially that ammonium chloride salted stuff.

Just got a blackcurrant and liquorice candy in my pocket actually, thanks for reminding me. I'm going to cook a big bowl of porridge, covered in molasses type dark sugar, and munch the candy while I cook my supper, before the sleeping pill I took earlier kicks in.

Because right now, I'm fucking ravenous.

After that, will stick my crystallizing batch of  the latest synthesis in the lab in the fridge, to cool down the solvent and force more crystals to form, crash out as much as possible before decanting the solvent,  still saturated with my compound, to be distilled down so further cooling makes  more crystals, fractionally crystallizing it all out step by step, and of course, washing  and recrystallizing the product until it melts at precisely the right  temperature, so what I have to work with is pure. Know what they say, garbage in, garbage out. Last minute before-bed and before supper pain med  shot, then time to fill my face, down a can of coke, burp in satisfaction, check my crystallizing project one last time before  I curl up under the duvet on the sofa and sleep for the day.

I do not know. They are both inside babies, but the dog goes out for walks at least twice per day and more if I can convince one of the kids to take him out.
The dog used to explore the unused protein candy in the cat box, but he has not done that in several months.

My daughter is also a bit off with "her feed"  but she had a semester grade recital in piano this week and two choir concerts this weekend, so, Nerves maybe?

But now you make me wonder, did we all get into something? I know that humans and cats and dogs can catch a cold at the same time. But this is more like a tummy thing. I am fine, but after I posted that last bit, my wife asked if I am having trouble with my digestion.

Not alarmed. We have four gas monitors in our house. I replace the batteries when the time changes twice per year. I usually put the perfectly good batteries in our alarm clocks.

Good advice, miss K.

I second the kitty lady. CO monitors can go wrong.

I've a good one, for the lab, the one that's installed near the boiler is utter shite. To the point it's dangerous IMO and needs to be taken apart, examined for any useful bits, then chucked, minus any useful bits.

Keeps going off, even when there is absolutely zero chance of their being carbon monoxide produced, because the boiler, is OFF, no flame, no heating on. Ergo-absolute certainty it is the alarm.

So it can only really be either ignored, or panicked over every time it goes off. So it'll have to be dissected and checked for useful bits (like say, the radioactive alpha source in a smoke alarm, usually americium 241, in a very small quantity, but apparently, ones which contain neptunium have been made also. And I really want one, for the element collection. Especially as a really aged one, could serve as a plutonium sample, as Np decays, in the case of many isotopes, to plutonium. I'd rather not have the actinide section have two pieces, and a whole load of empty cases with something dire like the chemical symbol and atomic weight engraved on glass. Having uranium, and americium. I'll always want MORE, until the collection is filled with everything it can BE filled with, including for elements with a nano-scopic gnat-fart of a half life, like astatine and francium, samples of radioisotopes which produce them in the decay chain, a bit of a cop-out, but at least, there'll be some atoms present at all times, due to continuing radioactive decay, maintaining a sample of those elements too unstable, in each isotope they have, nuclear isomers included, to BE stored. If it evaporates in minutes or hours, then it's the only way. And better the second-best than a mere written formula acid-etched into glass.

I might ask my old man for some technetium for xmas actually, as I've seen a place I could be sold a glass ampoule containing a thin backbone of gold, electroplated with a continuous layer of actual technetium metal, as the isotope 99Tc. It's not cheap, though, I don't know if he could afford it.  But oh my, I want one, I want one so fucking much you wouldn't believe. Even for a spazz and their spazz 'thing'/s, that, that Tc metal plated onto the gold strip, in an ampoule to prevent it corroding or suffering in any way...my god, I would get on my hands and knees and BEG for one of those.

And there are less reasons I'd ever do that, than there are fingers on the hand of someone born with syndactyly.

We had a CO scare despite working CO monitors when my kids were little. Happened as a record breaking ice storm hit and the highways were closed, hotels at capacity. It was horrific. Had to fight a hotel to give us a room at 1am even though it was booked for someone else but I was like c'mon...highways are shut down entirely. There's no way they're making it if they're not here already. So they give us the room we climb into bed (oldest was 6, youngest was just a baby) and an hour later the fire alarm goes off. Fire in the hotel kitchen. But they couldn't evacuate outside because of the wind and ice and blizzard so we all mulled around in the lobby in our pj's. It was quite the adventure.


Anyway, I hope it's just a fluke bug that has made it's way into the house and will pass quickly and everyone back to their regular selves. Both two legged and four legged!

Then you wake up dead.

This brings to mind this video of these idiots "rolling coal" (i.e. pumping unfiltered exhaust from their truck) into the truck window of their napping friend. He died.

Thinking I have two sick fur babies. Dog and cat both are lethargic, snoozy and very cranky, do want to be touched.

 :bigcry:
Oh no! It's odd that both would be sick at the same time. Did they get into something?

All seems to be back to normal today. Doggie is jumpy, happy running around checking on all of us as always, barking away birds from the back yard. Cat is back to snuggly and loving, chirpy and purry.
Daughter is fine as well as wife. Son and I never suffered any symptoms.

That's bizarre. I guess it's good it was short lived though.

Most times it's a massive mystery. We moved a year ago to an acreage and one of my dogs is finding all sorts of treasures from the last owners and lately is has followed a theme. First she was running around with a long scrap of that material you lay down in garden beds to stop the weeds from growing. I have no idea where she found it but she thought it was great fun. Then a few weeks later she brought me a large empty potting container and then 3 days ago a watering can and we can't find out where the heck she has dug these up from! :laugh:

Now, SEE, you mention pecan pie. That is my favorite pie.

I seldom make them, but pecan is my favorite pie. I am still working on getting my recipe perfected.

My mom sends me pecans for "Christmas" every year (she knows how much I love them), usually about eight pounds of shelled nuts from her trees.

This year the same. Many pecans! My wife takes them and makes sugar and spice candy out of at least a bag full, but she wants to share. FFS!! I have this moral and properly righteous enmity against sharing my pecans. The supply is finite and they are all mine. Sharing them is against ...

OK I like my pecans and they are nineteen bucks per pound around here and those that ARE available are last year's crop and probably from Georgia or Missouri and they suck! Georgia should stick to peaches and Missouri should stick to raising redneck retards who wave the rebel flag on the back of their pickup trucks or what ever else they can figure out.

I intend to make a pecan pie after the new year, using real fresh Texas pecans. The best there is.

New Orleans?  Been there, not sure I remember it all, but I think it was fun.

I have been calling around to family members all over Texas and some other parts of this great country of ours.

Sometimes, everything is hunky dory, but today I had good news and bad from my brother.
First, the good news; my brother's youngest son is going to be a father again for the third time. I am going to have another third grand nephew/niece child in June from my immediate family.

There are many more on the other side of the family. My wife has five brothers, I have one. Those on the other side of the family have no blood relation to me. This latest news is of another blood relative on the way. Boy? Girl? We do not know. Those kids like to be surprised. Awesome. Just like in the old days!

Bad news, my ailing younger brother now has a kind of intestinal cancer. Possibly operable, but too early to tell. They did catch it early. That is a good sign.
He is not well and yet, two years younger than I am. He has already had two heart attacks.
He was always the tough one and I was the wimp.

It'd be funnier (and possibly, down the line, safer, in case Amber's stalker decides to deliberately force contact just after tipping the filth off, and use that as a weapon) to get in before the dickwad, and take a restraining order out against HIM first. Actually I think it'd be a very good idea, primarily to prevent him doing exactly that.

The fact it would probably drive him apoplectic with berserk fury, and embarrass the living shit out him (and   from the sound of things, he is  positively full to bursting with shit, so that'd be a LOT of embarrassment. Enough of it to drive a flamingo bright pinkish red with embarrassment, just before it can take no more and  falls over on one slightly bent-crooked leg, dead as  a doorpost) would just be a bonus, so you could point and laugh and  shout 'WANKER!!!' whilst making an obscene gesture with the fingertips of your right hand just touching the thumb tip, making a circle, and  moving it sort-of sideways, in an up-and-down back and  forth reciprocating cyclic motion.

He wants a response and we are determined to not give him one.  He is furious that Amber would not speak with him alone and stood her ground by telling him that she would only speak with him in a public place.  In this case it was the lobby of the local YMCA.  And where there were witnesses.  And he behaved in an aggressive manner in full view of several people.  He also claimed that he had "reserved" a conference room at the Y.  Which no one can do.  He lied.  He was told to leave by several Y staffers and an admin.  And Amber's Kung Fu teacher escorted him outside.  He claims to be a member of MENSA.  But, he is clearly more DENSA!   :laugh:

Anyway, you can find out more about this douche bag by googling "human" (the name he is legally known by now.)from Rochester NH.   Aka, David Montenegro,  to see more.  He is not worth our time or energy.  He has no car, no job and now, no girlfriend with a car and a job and a future to leech off of.  Thinking of him getting around on his bike in the cold and the snow gives me pleasure.  Plus, the cops said no court would go along with him putting a restraining order against us.  He is very well known in the area as a nutjob and crank.  No, responding to him would just escalate the situation, silence is the key here.  Silence shows our contempt and indifference to his ego mania.   8)

Lestat, nothing would give me more pleasure (or at least give my inner red eyed demon pleasure) to blister his ears with my rage and then leave him a torn bloody mess for the coyotes to have a winter feast on.  BUT, it would also play to his paranoia and his ego to prove to the world (in his own mind) what a poor little victim he is.  His ego is off the charts and provoking a response from and Amber would feed his need big time.   And spending precious dollars and time to get a restraining order against him would also feed his sociopath attention whoring needs. 

No, our silence and ignoring him is far more painful and far less soul sucking than actually doing anything.  I have been "trained" by the masters of sociopathic paranoid attention seeking whoredom to the point that I know NO response is the best response.  His landlords are attempting to evict him, the cops want nothing to do with him as he is suing them constantly even though he runs crying to them when he needs them.  Seriously, google, "human" of Rochester NH aka, David Montenegro and see for yourself that he is not worth soiling my hands or feet with.  Karma is coming to deal with him and we will derive much pleasure watching it happen from a distance and there will be nothing that he can do about it.  He is watched like a hawk by the YMCA staff as many people have complained about his "creepiness", people have asked to be escorted to their cars when he is there working out.  He has few if any friends and those are slipping away as time passes. 

I appreciate the support for Amber, but, I'll keep my fantasies of violence just that, fantasies.  Very short term fantasies.  He's not worth getting arrested and going to jail for.  And he is not physically abusive, he's smart enough to know that would get him arrested and in jail.

Hmm, maybe cooking the oatmeal, then frying it with chopped peppers and mushrooms?

Add some egg whites to make little fried oatmeal patties.

Or leave out the egg and have it like fried rice, except it's oatmeal.

I was trying to be polite and encouraging.  Smoke flavouring or smokey food (bbq - except for made in an oven and covered in BBQ sauce) gives me an upset tummy.  I would try it, but that might be my only taste of it.

I apologize to DirtDawg since I'm sure his smoking skills are admirable.

And oddly enough I can eat ham if I cut the rind off.

Enjoy your ambrosia, miss K :)

What I'm thinking: 1/2 sheer fucking relief, at managing to persuade my GP, who initially was going to refuse to help, and leave me to suffer basically, because I've lost meds in the past (genuinely, and not often, such as accidentally leaving a pack with mostly snacks inside, nothing else of real value, but also my meds; up a hill somewhere in the yorkshire moors, in Settle, a little village that's kinda buttfuck nowhere even in yorkshire countryside terms, somewhere between watery lane, and a nearby fair size hill with mixed deciduous woodland over it, next to a load of sheep fields, after me and my old man went up there for a walk, (well that was my excuse, what I actually had in mind was mushroom picking, not that that would come as any surprise to my old man, who after 32 years is pretty thoroughly used to that particular ulterior motive of mine (well 28 years actually, given I was four years old by the time I taught myself to read, starting with a few basic mushroom field-guides, then begging for proper mycology textbooks to study to be bought for me, which I got, and used to teach myself both to read properly and teach myself what I could and could not eat; although I'd still bring home deadly poisonous species to study, and learn to better recognize on-the-spot in the field, perform chemical tests on them etc.)

And ended up back home, a drive of a good many hours, before realizing 'oh shit, my meds are up in a fucking sheep field', after I'd gone hiking up there to pick both edible (and very tasty indeed) Hygrocybe coccineus (scarlet hood, one of the waxcaps, waxcaps being mushrooms known for having a waxy, slippery texture to the cap surface and often very vivid colours. The scarlet hood being rather uncommon, but very good eating if one does find any, and is a lurid bright glowy shade of scarlet tinged with orange throughout, slightly translucent in the cap, and brighter than any fabric ink  or artist's paints.)

As well as meadow waxcaps, Camarophyllus pratensis, and a fair few others, crimson waxcaps (Hygrocybe punicea), plenty of really good eating though, mostly waxcaps (genera Hygrocybe, Hygrophorus, Camarophyllus, some might include Hygrophoropsis), almost all of them if not all, being species of grasslands, meadows, a few toxic species but none known to be deadly, stomach upsetters at worst, some not known as to edibility, quite a fair number known edibles and among those, some which are really good to eat)

Not sure as I'd include Hygrophoropsis with the waxcaps myself though, H.aurantiaca being the classic example (false chanterelle), which is not a meadow species, really, and nothing like a waxcap.

But, the doc pulled through, just as well too as I couldn't get owt from my contact today, he's out of methadone and it'd have been too much to get on tick for gear, since that would have to be gotten by him, whilst the methadone it's his own rx, so he doesn't have to actually spend to send, other than shipping, and knows damn well I would never ask if I hadn't certainty to be good for my word.

That's one thing I've always believed in, never promise anyone anything if you either don't intend to keep said promise, or if you are not 100% certain as to ability to follow through.

I'm hungry. I think I'll make some oatmeal with honey and cinnamon....

I stir some peanut butter into my oatmeal.  It adds a bit of protein and fills me up better.

Interesting, I might try that... another good addition is to crumble some walnuts into it....and add some small diced apples and its a well rounded meal.

There's always throwing in some raisins while cooking it.

I've been thinking of trying savory oatmeal.  I really need to look up some recipes.

Hmm, maybe cooking the oatmeal, then frying it with chopped peppers and mushrooms?

Add some egg whites to make little fried oatmeal patties.

Or leave out the egg and have it like fried rice, except it's oatmeal.

  Then throw in some beef, pork, some potatoes, cheese, pepperoni ... everything!  :fatchef:

I second the kitty lady. CO monitors can go wrong.

I've a good one, for the lab, the one that's installed near the boiler is utter shite. To the point it's dangerous IMO and needs to be taken apart, examined for any useful bits, then chucked, minus any useful bits.

Keeps going off, even when there is absolutely zero chance of their being carbon monoxide produced, because the boiler, is OFF, no flame, no heating on. Ergo-absolute certainty it is the alarm.



How close to the boiler is it? I've just been reading that monitors should not be installed too close to the boiler, as that can lead to false positives.  Most sites say that it has to be at least one metre  away. That said, I found one site that said "at least 15 feet"  :LOL:.  It would be outside my flat if I took that advice!

So sorry to hear about your brother, DD. It's good that they caught it early, though.

Yeah. Good they caught it early this time.

He went in for  surgery yesterday and they removed eighteen inches of necrotic and affected upper intestine along with the tumorous growths. This is the second time he has had to have sections of his upper intestine removed. Once before he had a massive bowel rupture and was pouring half digested food into his central torso, even beginning to surround his heart, back then. They removed about a foot of his upper intestine at that time, along with a football sized pile of shit that had collected from the ruptured bowel.
They also removed about forty percent of his stomach at that time to help ensure that his eating would not overload his ability to digest what he had eaten.
The surgeons did not remove any more of his stomach this time, but he has weeks of recovery eating out of a straw before he can even think of solid food.
No rupture this time and no more giant shit balls to remove, so that is good news.

All in all, the prognosis is positive for the long run. Just a rough few weeks ahead for him and his.

Thank you for your good thoughts.

He already has four bags of pills he takes. Four bags, because some are one per day and some are twice per day. Some are weekly and some are hourly or every few hours.

His wife is always right there, managing it all. Do not think he could have survived this far without her. She is a treasure!

Damn DD, that sounds fucking rough.

Wishing him a speedy recovery.

And miss K-I don't think it CAN be due to the proximity of the alarm/boiler. Gas boilers CAN'T generate CO if they are not turned on, and it's gone off plenty times when the heating hasn't been turned on, it's formed as a result of fuel being burnt in an oxygen-poor environment, so if it goes off when there is no burning going on at all, and there's no autie chemist doing anything squirrely that outputs or uses carbon monoxide (which I'd sooner avoid even with a sniffer to detect the stuff, its just so sneaky and generally unpleasant stuff), then it's the alarm.

Fit for nothing but dissection and throwing out anything not useful, damn thing is more of a danger than a safeguard  if it keeps causing false positives. Did it again today, woke me up too, when I had been having difficulty sleeping, the little fucker.

As for me, I got paid today, and will do again tomorrow. So I'll have over 350 quid, as such, I think I can treat myself to a couple of bags of my favourite kinds of sour bubblegum jelly candies and a couple of tins of cigars. As For whatever reason (I think I know exactly WHAT reason too, actually), nicotine itself, alone, doesn't do the same thing, not even close, going from experience with vape liquid, or transdermal nicotine, as tobacco smoke does, after a dose of pain meds. For some reason, it and smoking tobacco go together like black forest gateaux and those black sour cherries pickled in cherry liqueur. Only time I smoke tobacco now, but once in a while, I do really like a cigar, especially after the very, very first morphine shot I have after picking up a new rx, after it's all worn off from the night before, and there's NOTHING in the tank. A refill pain med wise, it just begs for a cigar on top to make it feel soooo satisfying.

I think with over 300 quid coming my way I can allow myself a couple of bags of candy, two tins of cigars, a lighter to light them with and some quick but filling snacks, like flapjack bars or the like to munch on the way back from the shop to return to my ministrations alchemical :heisenberg:
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Lestat on December 31, 2018, 05:37:41 AM
Just got back from the local corner shop, with what I intended to go for. Although as flapjack bars were on sale I did allow myself the luxury of buying more than the two I had planned to buy and immediately eat for a quick, convenient breakfast that's filling and doesn't need cooking or time taking to eat. Bought several more, plus allowed myself two loaves of icky-sticky jamaica ginger cake, as they were on sale for just a pound a cake. Got two, not had those in a while, and I absolutely LOVE 'em. Put me anywhere near one of those jamaica ginger cakes, with the thick layer of sticky treacly gingery gooey topping and you can bet your last penny that it will last less than 60 seconds. 120 AT MOST, before I'm down to gnawing the bits off the paper where it stuck with my teeth, and burping satisfactorily.

Time for a couple of quick lines of oxycodone, a cigar or two and then, I must get to work. IF of course, one can truly name a job which a person loves and finds just as much recreational hobby-indulgence as a job as 'work' in the first place. Since, despite spending much of my life bent over a benchtop, babysitting one reaction or another, or else garbed in full protective gear, doing things outside that I can ONLY safely do in the back garden, like taking a blowtorch to a custom-fabricated disposable vessel made for the purpose, full of phosphorus (red), and condensing the vapors driven off under a deep column of ice cold water, as white phosphorus (obviously not an indoor project on any larger than a scale using a pair of linked test-tubes and hundreds of milligrams to a couple of grams of red phosphorus, rather than preparing multi-hundred-gram batches of white phosphorus, with it's extreme toxicity, and propensity to spontaneously ignite on contact with air, and if it gets on anyone, to burn until it either exhausts itself, or burns right through one side of the victim and out of the other.

To say nothing, of course, of both the incredibly intense, flaring, blazing white-glowing green inferno itself, with it's blinding glare and the truly WHOPPING cloud of acidic, corrosive phosphorus pentoxide smoke that would come from accidental release of a quantity of several hundred grams. I've seen white phosphorus selfignite on that scale, once, after an alembic broke, and released a large amount of white phosphorus that was literally, so hot, it was not just molten, but BOILING, refluxing up and dripping back down the walls of the alembic in globules. When the glassware failed, shit, the smoke cloud was so fucking HUGE, one could see the plume of dense, white smoke take to the skies so high and wide and densely that it could be seen from a block away, at least. I didn't check to see just HOW far it could be seen, but I should imagine it was visible from even further away than that.

Thankfully I've next door neighbors who happened soon after moving in, actually the time I made my first introduction to them, to spot me walking out into the back garden dressed in heavy leathers, a protective visor and toughened blast-shield faceplate, elbow-length black gloves covered in two more layers of gloves, a middle layer of rubberized fabric mechanics type gloves, then thick, hefty fabric gardening gloves over the top of those, and had to make my first introduction from behind a gas mask, that was a bit different from most first introductions to new neighbors, in that it consisted of 'Hey, nice to meet you, I'm Lestat, and no, I'm not a terrorist, I'm autistic and big into chemistry so don't be alarmed at the complicated assembly of glassware being hooked up to vacuum lines and water pumps and tanks of inert gas.....'

Quite a nice pair, both of them, a young lass and her other half. The girl makes my sped-dar tingle a bit. Not heavily, the dial isn't spinning round like a drunken compass needle in the middle of an epileptic seizure, but she registers there all the same. A real cutie too, which is another pointer towards her being on the spectrum. Since she's definitely not mentally retarded, and if a girl isn't either aspie/autie/Rett's, MR, or both, then I am VERY unlikely to find them attractive. I just don't go there when it comes to NT girls. It's not QUITE so unappealing, but not far off how appealing I'd find fucking a guy, or the thought of doing so (I never have, and never will, although I have porked NT females, never not regretted it though and never will again unless forced to do so under duress. If she doesn't flap and rock and spin and clap and make those cute stimmy noises then I'm gonna need a tourniquet on my dick :autism:)

But both she and her BF, they have become accustomed to seeing me at work doing outside-only kinds of chemistry, fiddling around with blowtorches in the back garden, setting up a portable workbench on the lawn and bringing an extension to wire up the vacuum pump, that kind of thing, and by now, they've just got used to it, to the point where if I'm finished up and at the point where whatever I'm upto has been done for the time being, I can happily spend time whiling away with her over the hedge chatting, even whilst looking like some kind of paramilitary stormtrooper :D

Kinda funny really, but 'hey, been a while, how are you' heard through a respirator and sounding somewhat darth vader-ish isn't even surprising, let alone alarming. Just at most, curiosity at what the experiment or synthesis was.

I must admit, it's nice to have neighbors where I don't have to hide everything from their sight, and who aren't even bothered by a localized searing, luminescent firestorm, if it doesn't affect them (and thats one thing I do believe strongly in, that nobody else gets harmed by anything I do, save someone who would willingly and knowingly chose of their free will and desire, accompany me in my efforts if ever I find a lab partner (or better yet, a gorgeous young Kanner's autie girl who's got a similar bent for science as she had for me, and doesn't mind that there is a second love in my life, ideally, one shared, of course, though, of the inanimate, or at least non-living nature). If that were the case, then obviously thats different, someone knowingly choosing to assist in a project knowing any risks, and assenting to share in them to accomplish a goal shared also. But not to inflict anything on innocent bystanders.

(although I have absolutely NO compunction about deploying chemical deterrents, of varying degrees of severity against someone who intends to harm me first, or those I love, they'll cop a face full of teargas, if they are very very lucky. And potentially far worse things than tear-gases. Has saved me, as a kid, from getting mugged and the shit kicked out of me by a pair of chavscum in a dark alley with nowhere to run. But before they could so much as get close enough to throw a punch, both of them were on the floor clutching their faces and trying their hardest to scream in agonizing pain, which they would have been doing, had their airways not closed up tight and cut off their breathing. THEY had it coming though, and had they acted so as to leave me unmolested they'd not have been hit in the face with a torrent of a noxious chemical that the army had long ago rejected for being too toxic)

But hey, they shouldn't have cornered me in a dark alley whilst I was minding my own business going home, intent on robbing me and kicking the fuck out of someone for amusement. If they hadn't, they'd never have had to learn why one ought never to fuck with an autie with far more smarts their entire ancestral line and current family could ever hope to begin to comprehend, and who was packing chemical weapons :tard:. Fuck with an autie, and you are going to get 'naughty' rather than 'nice'

:asthing: good luck!

Thank you. It seemed odd that he went to the doc for a scheduled blood work and check up thing which still happens every three months since his last set of troubles, about a year ago. And then went in for emergency surgery the next morning.

The doctor said he was not sure about some pain in my brother's abdomen and lack of pain in other places and this lump ...
So he asked him to stay for a while after they drew blood. Usually they just send me a letter detailing all my perfect blood. The test they actually needed most is a several hour long thing, but they had the lab draw an extra bit that they could look at in a few minutes and found that the white blood cell count was through the roof!
So, they kept him overnight for further tests. I am not in the medical industry, much of the testing they did is over my head and I am relating this third or fourth hand, but overnight they decided that another surgery was necessary to save his life.

Today seemed much more positive. I talked to him on the phone. He says he feels better already, Of course he is being brave, but once bravery comes back    ...   well, who knows?

High WBC counts can mean infection, inflammation etc. So they're probably going to be looking for those things and also checking for trauma from the surgery. Something seems to have gone amiss. I hope it's an easy fix for him.

Also, it depends upon the origin and type of cancer. Solid tumours usually aren't the cause, unless one classes those of bone marrow as solid, and of lymphoid tissue. But cancer of either of the latter can result in vastly altered WBC counts, in leukaemias, so not impossible he's had a cancer of leukaemic origin which has metastasized. There are actually considerable regions of lymphoid tissue present in the intestines, such as Peyer's patches.

And many lymphoid cells which lie within the ileum, and survey for pathogens for presentation to the ummune system. His WBC count could be elevated as mentioned, if it's a metastatic leukaemia, especially in the case of massive elevation of WBC count. Although severe infection could be a cause, especially given the intestinal necrosis, and the sort of 'stuff' usually found in intestines, is pretty much a blob of microrganisms and coagulated food remains post-processing. Did they say what his CRP levels were like? because his C-reactive protein levels would be elevated in infection during an acute-phase response. And levels of complement types?

I can look up normal values in moments if you'd like any data of that kind, white cell counts (subtypes included), in the oxford handbook of clinical immunology made for doctors and specialists; as I've a copy myself, 'courtesy' I believe, of The Bitch, as It is forever known in this household for evermore, when referring to the borderline PD perditionslut from Tartarus; who was a real light-fingered twat with more purchases on her five finger discount card than anyone else I've ever known. Almost certainly nicked it from some doctor or hospital the moment she saw it. Who, I'll never know, where, likewise. No marks of ownership, so it's remained mine ever since. Quite the interesting reading too.

:asthing: good luck!

Thank you. It seemed odd that he went to the doc for a scheduled blood work and check up thing which still happens every three months since his last set of troubles, about a year ago. And then went in for emergency surgery the next morning.

The doctor said he was not sure about some pain in my brother's abdomen and lack of pain in other places and this lump ...
So he asked him to stay for a while after they drew blood. Usually they just send me a letter detailing all my perfect blood. The test they actually needed most is a several hour long thing, but they had the lab draw an extra bit that they could look at in a few minutes and found that the white blood cell count was through the roof!
So, they kept him overnight for further tests. I am not in the medical industry, much of the testing they did is over my head and I am relating this third or fourth hand, but overnight they decided that another surgery was necessary to save his life.

Today seemed much more positive. I talked to him on the phone. He says he feels better already, Of course he is being brave, but once bravery comes back    ...   well, who knows?
High WBC counts can mean infection, inflammation etc. So they're probably going to be looking for those things and also checking for trauma from the surgery. Something seems to have gone amiss. I hope it's an easy fix for him.
Everything is going well now.
I am sorry if I was not clear before. It was the ridiculous high white blood cell count that caused the doctor to order a massive all night long battery of further tests that led to his being admitted a few days ago as early in the morning as possible for emergency surgery.

That is when they removed eighteen more inches of his small intestine and found a liter or so of pus surrounding the necrotic bowel segment.

I talked to him early last night and things are going well. He is up and walking. Another day or two he should be able to go home.

Why not go for invertebrate pets miss K?, the likes of the widow spiders make great pets, really non-aggressive, intriguing to watch, although mostly in respect of their habits. Very, very low maintenance pets, and if you get bitten, you WERE asking for it.

I've only ibeen bitten once, keeping black widows, brown widows and Steatoda (false widows), and from her point of view, I DID deserve what she gave me, whilst feeding her, got nipped on a finger and oh fucking SHIT were the next few days awful. Felt like I'd been nerve-gassed, very, very similar to the effects of anticholinesterase nerve agents (no, I wasn't synthing tabun, sarin, VX, novichok agents etc. for the hell of it, it was a plant-derived anticholinesterase that got me, and given the pairing up of similar effects and known mechanisms of action, I can safely say either are fairly similar and both downright unpleasant,

I've been thinking of getting a scorpion, myself. probably Parabuthus spp., P.transvaalicus being the ore interesting of the genus, as either it alone, or the genus alone, among scorpions, are capable of firing their venom defensively. Not that I'd deliberately piss it off just to see it scared, wouldn't be right.

Or, alternatively, the israeli deathstalker, Leiurus quinquestriatus, not so much for the creature itself, but for the potential money due to the fact deathstalker scorpions produce a peptide in their venom, named chlorotoxin, that is highly selective in binding to certain types of brain tumor cells (malignant glioma, one of the nastiest and hardest to treat) I've had the idea for a long time, but you can just see the potential in that without being a medicinal chemist, radiolabeled chlorotoxin could be used both to image the cancer, with I should think, an extremely high resolution if one of the non-critical hydrogens were to be replaced by a fluorine-18, a as fluorine can often behave as a bioisostere of hydrogens, although non-labile to metabolism, hence frequent use in enzyme inhibitors. such as organofluorophosphate nerve agents, and fluoroacetate/aka the nasty as hell pesticide 10-80, as the fluorine makes the molecule often LOOK similar, from a steric and electrostatic point of view, so can often bind in a similar way to what a hydrogen substituted molecule with the hydrogen/fluorine position being the same, but it can't easily be chewed off metabolically, save for a very very few exceptions.

Bingo, ligand for either accurately imaging (18F is a radioactive isotope of fluorine, synthetic, short half live, around 100 hours, and decays via positron emission) which would make it ideal for PET scanning malignant glioma, or potentially, given the right radioisotope, nuke the bastard, not with a baseball bat like modern chemotherapy, but more akin to an IR laser-guided airstrike, surgical precision to deliver radiotherapy)

I've never been a dog person, rescued one once because she needed to be rescued from her bastard 'owners' but usually it's been either cats or rescue critters.

Brown recluse bites? confirmed?  Hey at least it's likely as not to have been the commonest of the rescluses (recleese? recleeses? :P), Sicariid venom is nasty stuff. Apparently their bigger, far, FAR more dangerous relatives, Sicarius (recluses are in the same family, Sicariid spiders, the word meaning 'assassin' in latin.) Loxosceles are at least small, but their Sicarius relatives are actually ending up in the exotic pet trade....jesus H. Apparently not very aggressive, and people have had very few envenomations, as the natural habitat is deep in the deserts, where they bury themselves in sand, to ambush prey, but are lightening fast, and think 'same kind of venom, just uploaded into a massively more powerul delivery vehicle, only ever read of two bites, but of the two, one of them died, the other lost the arm he was bitten on. Heard the bite compared to that of a gaboon viper in effect, and most likely, outclassing either australian funnelwebs, either Atrax or Hadronyche, as well as the brazillian wandering spider. Its just good luck they don't live near people, and the only people that live near them, KNOW they are there, and exactly what they are capable of (a recluse bite can cause nasty nectrotizing wounds, as you doubtless know, but Sicariius are another matter entirely, expect to end up dead, slowly and nastily, and that's if you are lucky. Although IF I had to choose any of the three as a pet, it'd probably be a Sicariid, or Atrax, as at least they don't actively go for people, I've heard things from people with Phoneutria as pets, that would make your skin crawl, like their running headlong towards the tank and trying to fling themselves over the top, and even accidental imports on fruit, people trying to squash Phoneutria (brazillian wandering spiders) with a broom, only to find the spider legging it up towards them ready to throw down.

No long lasting scars I hope?

Apparently Loxosceles laeta, the chilean recluse is spreading considerably, throughout the US and has reached canada, although you aren't going to see the other large Sicariids around your way short of someone having a pet one, at least I don't think so. The recent split between Sicarius and Hexopthalma, with the transfer of the african desert species to Hexopthalma whilst Sicarius, in it's current sensu-stricto usage, includes quite a number of south american species, and one in central america, but their preferred habitat isn't the sort of place to find in canada, what with their strategy of burrowing into sand in arid areas. Apparently they re-examined Sicarius in terms of venomous potential, and it turns out it's those which have been reclassified in the genus Hexopthalma, are the really, really dangerous ones.

Still, I'd definitely not want to get bitten by the american  Sicarius spp. Since the entire Sicariid family possess cytotoxic venom based on sphingomyelinase-D, and the american species can grow up to a body size of a couple of inches, so still able to deliver a fair bit.

Faint mark, nothing more. The interesting thing was the massive amount of steroids they had to give me, despite me being pregnant because the steroids were less dangerous to the baby than what was circulating in my system from the infection of the bite. The wee one ended up being born a preemie and his lungs were more developed then they expected them to be and that was from the steroids. Even though he wasn't breathing when he was born, he stood a far higher chance of survival because his lungs got a kick start.

Post by: Lestat on January 06, 2019, 12:59:22 PM
Glad you both pulled through. The results from that kind of venom can be horrific, it's just as well Loxosceles  can only deliver low volumes of venom, given how potent it is. Read something interesting, given how, evolutionarily speaking, scorpions came first (well there are the sea-spiders, but the Pycnogonids are very, very different from true spiders), with huge sea-scorpions eventually having some of their smaller species come to land (the biggest of the Eurypterids wouldn't have been able to support itself on land, but they ranged in size from a couple of meters to quite a lot smaller)

I think I mentioned them in passing, but there is an ancient, primitive sister-group to the mygalomorph spiders, Liphiistiidae being the only surviving family, venom-less trapdoor spiders which retain the scorpioniform plating on their abdomen, known as mesothelids.

I have to wonder, given the scorpions presumably thus ended up giving birth to the evolutionary precursors of the early spiders, Mesothelae presumably first, since they lack a tail, and have no venom, followed by evolution of the Mygalomorphs, seeing as evolutionarily, it's less complex to adapt a system already present (I.e the large, downwards-thrusting fang configuration) and then finally Araneomorphs (I'm really not sure where to place the Uloborid spiders, which lack venom also, tiny things, or their other non-venomous relatives, or that one vegetarian spider known)

Apparently Hemiscorpius lepturus venom (Liochelidae, most of the dangerous scorpions are in the order Buthidae, but Hemiscorpius is the joker in the pack, so to speak), and it seems the same with the Sicariidae spiders, (Loxosceles, Sicarius, Hexopthalma), in that seemingly the sequence-homology of the amino acid peptide structures which make up the venom of Hemiscorpius is pretty similar to Sicariid venoms, being the only known animal examples of a sphingomyelinase-D based venom, usually it's a cytolytic enzyme of bacterial origin, not animal.

Makes me wonder if they are related in some way, it would make intuitive sense IMO.


And this kinda puts recluse venom, given the similarity between it, and that of Hemiscorpius lepturus,

http://www.pharmacophorejournal.com/en/site/storage/article/file/AC389Article.pdf

Quite small scorpions, tiny telson and gracile overall build, but DAMN is it's venom potent, 600 nanograms of fresh venom in the study, was diluted to make a 50:50 solution in saline, and even diluted, just 0.9ug of the diluted saline solution was sufficient to kill 100 mice.

And apparently people don't notice they've been stung a lot of the time, due to the tiny size of the sting,  and reported lack of pain-inducing properties, and it's slow acting, like recluse venom, so often goes untreated for several days, as the venom goes systemic, starts causing oedema and necrosis of internal organs, rhabdomyolysis, massive haemolysis, DIC, then not infrequently, death after several days in humans. Ugly stuff, I've seen a picture of what it can do, both in mice and humans, the mouse had a gaping rotting hole where it's torso used to be, clean through one side and out the other, whilst the human had their arm flayed to the muscle, and a MASSIVE wound, right up the forarm.

This will have to go here:

At about 6 last night, Kayleigh had an accident with a stick blender. She was trying to take the blade fitting off when her hands slipped, one onto the blade and the other onto the power button. Blood sprayed the kitchen, even the ceiling. I'm glad I was in my room. She let out a shaky, "Oh no", and I was out there. Couldn't tell what the damage was for all the blood. We made the decision to go to the ED.

We weren't there for long before she was treated. The doctor removed the rest of her index finger nail because it was hanging off anyway and gave her four dissolvable sutures. The local anaesthetic didn't work very well so she was in pain the whole time. She's really going to feel it today but she has some good pain meds so hopefully not too much.

It's surprising how much the index finger is used, even on the non-dominant hand. She's already bumped it a few times and she says it's like an electric shock. Ouch. She also wonders how she's going to play games on her Switch.

The doctor gave Kayleigh a referral letter to a plastic surgeon near the city, so she'll go there tomorrow or Friday. He said it was because the wound was unusual.

After we left the hospital we got McDonald's because it was late and neither of us felt like cooking.

  Oh my word, what an awful freak accident.  :hide:


   Can confirm that even the pinkie finger on one's non-dominant hand is used and
   depended upon more than one might think, as I found out when I broke mine. 
   I really hope Kayleigh heals well.  Did they prescribe antibiotics?

I remember the time Mom walked into the living room and asked Dad if he could remove the fork from her finger.  She'd speared it while trying to break off some butter from a frozen stick of butter.  He removed it.  She wrapped it in gauze and tape.  Dinner was a few minutes late that night.

Yeah, because she doesn't drive she would have been stuck bleeding at home. And it was a lot of blood. The doctor even commented on how much Kayleigh's finger bled.

Ren,

I hope Kayleigh will be okay. I'm glad you kept your act together. That sort of thing can be very confronting to have to deal with.

I had a similar incident about 10 years ago.

I had just started a job in Thailand and we rented a house.

I had just had a tooth extracted and it was torture. The local anaesthetic didn't work when they were taking the tooth out and then he left me with a dry root which meant agony and no sleep for about 3 nights. Dentists in Thailand are good but they really don't give a fuck how much pain you are in.

I walked into the kitchen and my wife was trying to cut the plastic binder on a set of cheap saucepans with a super sharp Japanese knife I had just bought. I took it off her and said something like "you can't use a knife like that, do you have any idea how dangerous that is?".

And then, in my groggy state, I proceeded to do exactly what I had warned my wife not to do.

The knife went straight through that thick plastic binder like a hot knife through butter. And continued on through much of my left index finger in the same way.

The knife was so sharp that it initially felt like a paper cut, just a sharp but fairly minor pain. I looked at my finger and the blood was spraying out. I grabbed a teatowel and pressed it tightly around my finger but in the few seconds that took I had sprayed the kitchen cupboards and floor and fridge and benches in blood. When they asked me to take the teatowel off at the hospital and the blood squirted out again the poor nurse nearly fainted - maybe I should have said "I nearly chopped my finger off" instead of "I cut my finger" so she would know what to expect. My wife just froze in shock, she saw the blood spraying everywhere and thought I'd chopped my arm off or something and that I was a goner.

They sewed me up at the hospital and booked me in to see a specialist the next day as they thought I had done some damage to ligaments and nerves.

They were surprised that I had apparently missed the nerve altogether, considering that I'd gone about halfway through the finger at the joint. I had 100% feeling initially but as the wound became stiff and swollen it compressed the nerve I got some minor numbness along one side of the finger, that lasted for a few years along with some minor stiffness. Now, apart from a faint scar (I've got really thin skin, like a baby, that doesn't scar easily) there are no lasting effects.

Geez, MOSW, that's a tale to tell! If I was your wife, I would have been peeved at you hurting yourself so badly. Peeved and worried.

Kayleigh has 100% feeling. She knows every time she bumps her finger. Not sure if it will last though.

That's a good sign.

As it heals it will swell up and stiffen for a while and that might compress a nerve, but that should only be temporary as it was with me.

My wife pretty much went into shock. I was just in shorts and T-shirt, I put a pair of thongs (rubber sandals) on and walked up the road to catch a taxi to the hospital. I had to tell my wife "put some shoes on, now put some shoes on our son, now grab the key and lock the door behind us". I couldn't leave her there in the state she was in.

I'm a klutz. In 2017 I managed to drip smoking hot oil onto my big toe. That wasn't much fun. That did a lot more tissue damage than the knife, and took longer to heal, but apart from discoloured skin it's completely healed.

Coincidence? Kayleigh recently spilled hot oil onto her hand. It blistered quite spectacularly and I had to keep telling her to not pop it. It did eventually deflate and now the site is a raw-looking pink. She says it doesn't hurt any more so that's good. I'd never want an oil burn, they look painful.

I had a blister literally about half the size of a golf ball on my toe that I tried (unsuccessfully) not to pop. I got the foot into a bucket of cool water right away and then I got ice onto it to numb the pain. The damage from maybe a spoonful of super hot oil was horrendous but fortunately the site of the damage was small. I was on antibiotics for a couple of months. I have a photo somewhere, I am not going to post it here because it's beyond gross but if someone is really interested I could send it to them via PM.

I've had to modify my "free range" mom attitude and actions.  I was criticized (mildly, but still criticized) by The PR's care co-ordinator for not taking her to a doctor last year for something I thought was minor.  The co-ordinator is a legally mandated reporter for danger/abuse of her clients.  So, I either don't tell Bridget about minor injuries or I waste the taxpayers money for something I could put a bandaid on.  (Bridget is kind of cool.  When I asked if I had to bring The PR in for a scratch, she said, "Now, QV." 

She was peeved at me that I didn't go to the doctor with my broken toe.  "Who's going to take care of her if you're not able?"  (My thought is that she can take care of me for the minor parts.) Hell, wrap toes toegether, take OTC pain pills and continue with life.

After cancer diagnosis, man chooses to die sailing down the Mississippi River with his dog

By Maria Clark, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune mclark@nola.com
The Times-Picayune

A yellow tugboat heading upstream along the Mississippi River Wednesday morning (Jan. 9) created waves strong enough to rock an old red and white houseboat named “Shameless”. The waves pulled at the little houseboat, threatening to make it come untied from a tree near the levee in Algiers Point, where it’s been docked this past week.

The boat’s owner, Kelly Phillips, 51, and his dog Sapphire, walked out onto the houseboat’s deck, managing to keep their balance despite the wind and relentless rocking. They jumped into a dark green pirogue that was taking on some water and Phillips paddled to the levee using an old broom he had found on shore.

As he walked up to the levee, he hugged himself against the cold breeze that had swept in overnight.

“It’s cold on the houseboat, there is no insulation. Fortunately, I have my little heater,” he said, gesturing to Sapphire.

This turn of the Mississippi River is just one of dozens of places Phillips has visited since he started his journey down the river 20 months ago.

Phillips, who is originally from Wisconsin, said he was diagnosed with cancer in his sinuses about two years ago. He underwent chemotherapy, but the treatment left him with a debilitating stomach ulcer. His doctors said he had only about three months to live.

At the time, Phillips was living in New Jersey, where he ran a variety of businesses including two laundromats and a commercial laundry company with 53 employees.

He said he knew the last place he wanted to die in was in hospice care.

He thought if anything, the Mississippi River might be a good place to go. So, with his brother’s help he bought “Shameless,” a houseboat built in 1972.

“I woke up in the morning. I don’t know why but I just decided to to call my brother and said, ‘This is what I want to do,’” he said.

Originally he had planned to stay in Wisconsin. But three months went by. Then five months and six months, so he decided to head downriver.

“I figured I’d travel for three months and that would be it. I didn’t die, my plans got screwed up, so I continued going downriver,” he said.

With only $214 in his pocket, he set sail.

The river has been his home and he said the “Mississippi River people” have been his family.

He remembers when he arrived in Chester, Illinois, on New Year’s Eve in 2017. He was set to leave the next day but his boat was stuck in frozen water. He had run out of wood for his stove and gas for his generator.

“I was going to freeze to death,” he said. He ended up calling the local police department for help and said he got connected to the right person. Soon after the people of Chester came out and gave him gas and delivered scrap wood and three containers of food.

“Some guy even gave me this jacket,” Phillips said, pointing to the black windbreaker he was wearing.

The houseboat was sinking when he reached Hickman, Kentucky. There he met a tugboat captain who pulled him out of the water and promised, no matter where Phillips ends up when he dies, he will take care of Sapphire.

When he reached Memphis, Sapphire went missing briefly. The people who found her learned about Phillips and decided to help him on his journey and bought him a new engine and generator for his boat.

In Baton Rouge, a friend set him up with a motorized bike, because Phillips is too weak to pedal.

In Algiers Point he’s shared coffee at One Stone and stories with people at the Old Point Bar.

New Orleans was originally going to be his last stop on his journey down the river, but Phillips said he plans to end up in Venice, La., by Jan. 23 where many of his “river friends” plan to meet him.

He found out about this last place on the river a few weeks ago and says he is looking forward to all of the fresh seafood ahead in his journey.

“Most of all I want to say ‘I did it, I made it all the way down the river,’” he said.

Beyond Venice he has no plans, mainly because he says he hates making plans.

For now, he says, he has enough energy to keep traveling. Each morning Sapphire gets him up from the recliner where he sleeps by standing on his chest and barking.

“She makes sure that I get up,” he said.

He said he will continue as long as he can without medical help.

“I don’t want to go to the hospital,” he said. “Hopefully I will just lay down and go to sleep and not wake up. That seems like the easiest way to go.”

"The Earthling" was an enjoyable movie. Not really a "must see" though. Stars William Holden.

As I recall, a man is dying of cancer. He rides a horse deep into the bush, lets the horse go so that he is effectively stranded, and plans to simply live off the land until he dies.

A boy is stranded in the bush when his parents are killed in an accident and Holden eventually makes the right decision, to try to get the boy back to civilization. Along the way he teaches the boy how to survive and they form a close bond. Holden dies along the way, but by that stage the boy is well able to look after himself and find his own way out.

You have to get it!!

Update on Kayleigh's finger - it's not so sore now and she can play her Switch. She has an appointment with a plastic surgeon near the city at 8:30am next Thursday. She wants me to drive her.

Update on Kayleigh's finger - it's not so sore now and she can play her Switch. She has an appointment with a plastic surgeon near the city at 8:30am next Thursday. She wants me to drive her. I don't have enough petrol. She's going to be be peeved when she finds out we're catching the train and bus.
:laugh:

Least she could do, with you driving her around, is buying you petrol.

I don't have a car. Now and then I do ask a friend for a car favour. Paying them for the costs they make is a no brainer for me. That they spend their time on me is awesome. It's also a favour I can return. But there is no need for them to pay the costs of my transport too. If they don't tell me what it did cost, I'll figure it out myself.

 Dogs can count.

At least up to four. I have established a routine with our dog about going out on his own to do his outdoor business.

I am convinced that before we got him, he never had a back yard and was the pet of an older person, living in some small apartment community, who only took him out for a walk once per day.
I have been working for nine months now to break down this inset behavior with him.
I "treat" him for successes and not for misunderstandings. Being that it is often snowy or very wet outside, when he comes in I have him "dance" to help clear his feet (he is a jumper - no problem getting him to dance on a dry surface before he comes back inside). Anyway, there are four tiny, tasty treats involved with our routine.
BUT, if I try to hold back, he will not even go inside without performing all his duties, each of which comes with the benefit of a tiny treat.
He will try all he knows to get his fourth treat, even repeating what he has already done and trying to figure what he needs to to do next.

He can count, at least to four.

On another more comical note: this dog grunts and moans and vocalizes more than any dog I have ever had and that list is in the dozens. He is a talker and he is convinced that his opinion counts for something. I love this little guy!

One thing I do not understand about this dog, though is that he is terrified of the cat. They mostly ignore each other, even walk right past each other sometimes with no howdy or piss off at all, but if given a way out that dog will walk way around the cat. This thirty three pound dog is literally three times the size of the tiny petite cat, but she has him bullied, some how.
All she has to do is enter the room and he will seek safety next to one of us.
He is brave though. At times when the cat is lying next to me, he will come up from the side and lick my elbow and grunt a bit and lie down right next to me, but he keeps his eye on the cat.

He is so much larger, but I suppose she is so much more vicious.

 :dunno:

When I was a teen we had two cats. Brothers from the same litter. The neighbours had a dog. The dog was terrified of Maigret. He'd back off with his tail between his legs. But he loved to run after Sherlock. And he meant serious business. There were some nasty wounds now and then. Luckily for Sherlock his brother often was close by. Keeping him relatively safe from that dog.

Makes me think of a BOC song with end lyrics like:
"Seven seven seven seven seven seven seven ..." and then it repeats for a total of seven times. Great concert music!

Seven Screaming Dizbusters!

It just fits.

I was playing way too loud once and I blew out my speakers (I had many back ups, so no worries) at a small party for "friends" when one guy asked what happened to the speakers and why do they stink?
I said that they were "Dizbusted."

Probably had to be there.

We had a gray Blue Russian cross called "Mr Bo Jangles". Mr Bo Jangles was quite simply a psychotic kickarse cat. As a kid I was terrified of him. He would regularly attack my brother and I for kicks and draw blood.
He used to hunt full grown feral rabbits twice his size from the bush next door and bring them home to eat them. He used to beat up all the cats in about 3 kms from our home in each direction.
He got his arse kicked when he was 10 years old. REALLY badly 4 nights running and so went all of his territory.
Something almost this size
(https://d3lp4xedbqa8a5.cloudfront.net/s3/digital-cougar-assets/AusGeo/2013/11/07/11736/feral-cats-arnhem-land.jpg)
He was about the size of a medium sized dog, matted and scabby and infected. Nasty scarred looking thing.

We have trouble with an overpopulation of raccoons here. Squirrels and bunnies as well.

The city has gone on a rampage trying to clear out wild or feral cats from the residential areas. Now we have an overage of what they used to eat.
I love to see all these animals all over the town so I do not just shoot them, but I do NOT like them in my garage or dumping my garbage in the alley.

I have heard that raccoons are good to eat, but never tried it. I know rabbits and squirrels are delicious.

On another point, similar, I see more of the native kestrels and tiny immature hawks gorging on the rabbits and squirrels. Unfortunately, those raptor kin are also ravaging the mourning doves and cardinals as well.

I can not think of a balanced solution. The whole thing makes my mind sweat.

I know these are two distinctly (See, even MORE!) different words and the meanings and implications of each one are very stone cold distinctive (Right! another adjective relating to the first use as an adverb) and quite particular to the usage to me, but it seems as if there has been a movement lately to make words interchangeable by removing the importance of the differences of words' meanings.

What do these words mean to you?

For the first, most basic understanding, following with my very limited education (I am a high school drop out, remember) One is an adverb and the other is an adjective, so having both words is a necessity just to maintain a kind of language we have all agreed upon in an attempt to communicate with one another without rocks tied to the end of sticks for use as a period, for instance.

We NEED both words!

My Grandfather used to call that a "lying dog" and he hated to hear a dog lie.
He always kept eight or ten dogs on his farm as an alarm system but one barking at nothing was a liar and they only had a few chances.

His hogs were a great deal more reliable to be witnesses to danger, but he kept them as far away from the house as possible. His dogs had free reign as long as they did not raid the chicken houses. Those dogs never got a second chance.


My dog is very vociferous as well, but you can definitely tell when he makes a warning bark. He has many barks if you listen to him. Most of his barks are conversational or tattling or playful.
His warning bark is definitely easy to understand.

My grandfather did not care about trying to learn to speak dog.

It would be wise if they did trap/neuter/return for the ferals. When you do a neuter/spay the colony will naturally die out on its own without such a jarring upset in the balance of the food chain, and it also won't keep growing at a rapid pace.

They take their cues from us. I know I do not react positively when some stranger walks past our house, most especially if they are just walking and trying to look in or around neighborhood properties.

When we still had a train running through town, my wife hated that. I loved it. But the dog was more interested in protecting her than indulging in my nostalgia.
Is it possible to alter our behavior? I think so, since we are the smart ones. :zombiefuck:

Kind of projecting, here, but maybe something to think about. They do take cues from our behavior.

Currently thinking that I wish I could get a decent amount of sleep.

Around here with the new mayor's city initiative, all they did was catch and euthanize.

Your plan would be better, but it seems that those with more determine the outcomes and some in the better neighborhoods were complaining about cats making noise at night. So, a city - wide moratorium on feral cats began.

I actually do not mind the feral cats. They do not bother our garbage, they keep pesky rodents, which try to invade our homes, in check, they really only make noise at certain times and they are fascinating to watch. Kind of like birdwatching for the pure pleasure, cat watching can be similarly entertaining.
But, getting one to come up to you and allow a capture where it can be placed into the hands of the Humane Society (where they do not euthanize) is a good feeling.

I actually fed them things that they liked, like when we have a chicken or a turkey. I do not want to trust my dog to eat chicken bones (always did that when I was a kid, but  with nowadays understanding of how dogs eat - not so smart) because cats can eat them without endangering themselves.

I have a huge compost pile of kitchen garbage and grass and leaf litter which I turn every other week or so, but I do not put anything in that will harm my scavenging dog. The hollow bones go outside the fence.


Having a program in place that supports spay/neuter for strays seems far more humane than a catch and kill thing.






On the other remark:

I go between thinking that sleep is way over rated and it is THE final thing that I need to wrap this all up and be done.

I do not consider myself to be a broflake and you may know that I am not easily triggered.

It just seems to me that what Scr'eap said applies to this :

"Get Woke, Go Broke"

I think the "broflakes" like this. It offers them an avenue to more gravitas than they can muster on their own.

To me, the deciding element is whether or not, after a year from now, anyone will remember what the commercial was trying to sell.
Consider it an acid test. What are they selling?

So, what are they selling with these ads?

People walking past the house. A train passing, maybe. Threats, if she is to be believed.

They take their cues from us. I know I do not react positively when some stranger walks past our house, most especially if they are just walking and trying to look in or around neighborhood properties.

When we still had a train running through town, my wife hated that. I loved it. But the dog was more interested in protecting her than indulging in my nostalgia.
Is it possible to alter our behavior? I think so, since we are the smart ones. :zombiefuck:

Kind of projecting, here, but maybe something to think about. They do take cues from our behavior.

I was asleep, in this particular instance. :P

You're right, of course. I'm not the most social person around. I guess that matters, too. Plus the fact that she isn't a very social dog either. It's one of the core traits of the breed.

So, what are they selling with these ads?

What are they selling? Razors. Same as always. Products targeted at men have a history of associating their product with a contemporary image of masculinity. Think "Marlboro man". Or beer ads. This ad looks like it was a collective brain fart from a bunch of advertising gurus sitting in a room, with a whiteboard of course, and asking themselves "what does masculinity meeeeean in 2019?". What they look like they've tried to do is to portray toxic masculinity in such a way that most of the target audience can say "I'm not like those bad guys, Gillette gets that I'm already a good man in the 2019 context".

"Get woke go broke". Well Nike's share price took a brief hit as the Stockmarket held its breath to see what the reaction would be when they got woke. The fact that the share price bounced right back and then some tells you all you need to know about that. As some have pointed out, Gillette knew exactly how the precious and special broflakes would react and they didn't give a fuck.

As for the wording of my post, it was a "poke the bear" kind of thing. You're not a broflake. Nor easily triggered.

It may be time for a new kettle.

Invisible breach in the wiring somewhere? Or worse, invisible wear and tear of the insulation around said wires?

Time for a new one. And then turn the old one into a practical science project .

Oh, one test you could do. Does it kill the plug while all other appliances are disconnected?  It could be a matter of overload too.

Got home about three hours ago, rented a car. Weather sucks. I missed the record breaking cold, but the roads are totally crap from a few inches of snow overnight. To Cold for the salt and chemicals to do much.

Whirlwind trip again.

Kind of a sort of balance. I did two trips to Texas in one month - never happened since I was in the music business many years ago.

First trip at the beginning of the month to attend a long known friend's funeral and second trip at the end of the month to attend a new family branch's christening of a new granddaughter (step? half? I do not know. They all called me her grandfather, so there I am).

That is where I was going with the "balance"  comment and how what goes around comes back around again.

But my time is up. This has already happened and what ever times any more of all this takes is within me. I feel both very strong and yet helpless at the same time.

I would like to say I am ready and most of me is ready but there are parts of me which still want to cringe in a cave somewhere and not look out.

The strong parts made me called to let them know I made my flight OK.
As far as the weak parts, they seem to run from my efforts to even understand them.

The culling of stuff and books Thought is rising in my brain again.  Especially in the volcano books collection.   Gathering dust, unread, they need a good home.  And I need to continue to declutter.  One is a coffee table book about volcanoes, an easy read and will go to a wonderful charity centered thrift shop, and the other book is an antique and will also go there.  I am feeling the desire to cut down on my possessions.  Maybe the impending death of my dear friend is making me rethink my priorities and be more inclined to let stuff go.

I've slowly been doing the same. I downloaded a few books on de-cluttering on a whim...most were just pure boredom between two covers...a couple though took hold....one was actually a very enjoyable read.

I've seen a few books about decluttering in the book store.  I also think my age, 64, has a lot to do with it, multiple moves in a few years also factors into that.  And we'll be moving again someday, it's time.

I found myself slowly slipping into my hoarding ways.  So I've been trying to clear.  At last count I had over 2,000 books on my kindle.  Still struggle with clothes (hey! I can refashion that top.  I can cut that towel up into smaller wash cloths. etc.) This shit wasn't accumulated in a day and it's going to take a while.   

I shudder having to eventually go through my sister's house.  It's a 2 story 1930's house built by a wealthy merchant.  She bought it in 2003 and wasn't able to finish restoring it.  It has half of my parent's stuff in it, the stuff she bought to restore it, the stuff she bought to decorate it AND the stuff she bought just because.

Marie Kondo's are pretty good...I'm never going to spend time folding everything up like she does though.

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning was my favorite...by Margareta Magnusson...she's 83. You can pull her up on Youtube with her house full of plants.  :laugh:

So, enough about where I was shopping this afternoon:

Thinking about another trip to Texas.

Found out a bit ago that my mom had a heart attack this afternoon. She is alive, and being given care.
I am troubled.

If you do not see me for a few days, it might be to do with this latest news.

Take care DD. Your mum is getting blow after blow. That is reason to be troubled.

Wishing you a good trip. And time with her as good as possible. Hope for a good recovery for her.

Tight hug if you want one.

Latest news is that she is resting after another "procedure" but nothing definitive. She is one seriously tough human being with lots to live for, but this shit can get bigger than any of us.

So far, still treading these scary waters.

I am thankful for everyone's positive thoughts.

Ok, weirdness tale of the day.  Since we had a messy winter mix storm last night, I was shoveling out my usual service/emergency escape bath to the back door.  I get to the back of the house where there is a porch and patio.  As I am cleaning up, I spot a 1 dollar bill nestled between the bottom step of the porch and the foundation wall.  So I think ok, lucky me, I pick it up thinking it will be soaking wet.  It's not, it's perfectly dry.  Now this little spot I have to sweep out constantly due to leaves piling up in there.  Very weird, so I go back into the house and tell Amber, who's first thought is "Oh no, it's my idiot ex boyfriend sneaking around."  Well, that doesn't pass a logic test, A) He's on disability and public assistance for everything.  B) A person on that tends to be very careful of every bit of currency that gets into ones possession.....I know, I've been there in the long long ago poverty student days.  There is a lot of wind that blows thru there, and there are a lot of leaves under the porch that I can't clear out.  I can only surmise that it's been there under the porch in a dry spot until the wind happened to catch it just right and blow it into that spot.  1 dollar bills have a life expectancy of 8 months or so, due to wear and tear.  This bill is 6 years old and fairly good condition.  And in my last check of the back, the snow is melting off the roof and it's dripping into the very spot that I found it in.  Anywho, I'm not going to over think it, despite my tendency to be a tad paranoid about home security.  I'll just hold onto it as a weird souvenir......or buy a lottery ticket with it!  😎 8)

Ok, weirdness tale of the day.  Since we had a messy winter mix storm last night, I was shoveling out my usual service/emergency escape bath to the back door.  I get to the back of the house where there is a porch and patio.  As I am cleaning up, I spot a 1 dollar bill nestled between the bottom step of the porch and the foundation wall.  So I think ok, lucky me, I pick it up thinking it will be soaking wet.  It's not, it's perfectly dry.  Now this little spot I have to sweep out constantly due to leaves piling up in there.  Very weird, so I go back into the house and tell Amber, who's first thought is "Oh no, it's my idiot ex boyfriend sneaking around."  Well, that doesn't pass a logic test, A) He's on disability and public assistance for everything.  B) A person on that tends to be very careful of every bit of currency that gets into ones possession.....I know, I've been there in the long long ago poverty student days.  There is a lot of wind that blows thru there, and there are a lot of leaves under the porch that I can't clear out.  I can only surmise that it's been there under the porch in a dry spot until the wind happened to catch it just right and blow it into that spot.  1 dollar bills have a life expectancy of 8 months or so, due to wear and tear.  This bill is 6 years old and fairly good condition.  And in my last check of the back, the snow is melting off the roof and it's dripping into the very spot that I found it in.  Anywho, I'm not going to over think it, despite my tendency to be a tad paranoid about home security.  I'll just hold onto it as a weird souvenir......or buy a lottery ticket with it!  😎 8)
Remember anything about 6 years ago??

Believe, don't believe...interesting read never the less.

I am always finding change...sometimes the dates hold a nice memory or two which is an added bonus.
A very interesting read indeed!  It would be easy for me to see something sinister in it, but, I am going another way.  Since my old and very dear friend died....I will go with a more positive outlook. 

I wanted to  :plus: you, but it says I have to wait 0.5 hours to do so.........and I haven't plussed anybody in days.  Who ever is in charge of that function here is a douchebag.
I see that you've given Icequeen karma three times.

That's weird.  It kept saying I had to wait 0.5 hours to give karma.  And her number never changed like I can see it change at the times I could do it!  Very weird.

I've done pretty much the same thing every time you've complained, which is to check the DB tables, recount the statistics, and empty the file caches. None of that should affect the functionality.

What I find weird is that nobody else has reported this.

I'm not going to over think this or go bat shit crazy paranoid.  I just like to plus people and it mildly bugs me when I can't for no reason.  Or whatever reason the glitch works on.  If it happens again, I'll just mention it and let the admins do what they do. 

Oh well, it's hi ho hi ho, it's off to work I go on a slippery slushy mixed winter weather sunday.  That's a little more important to think about than a computer glitch.  TTFN  8)

I have had a new neighbor for almost two weeks. They seem to have settled. Tonight being trash night, I took the opportunity to meet my new neighbor over several full bins of garbage we were both attempting to muster.

He is cool. Lives with his grand daughter and her child and his sister. Kind of a redneck conglomerate family, sticking together. I like the idea.

He seems cool. A Viet Nam era Navy vet, old and still going and a happy guy. First impression was a good one.

Only just popped opened my first two rolls of halves tonight and got all excited. Had to come back here and report (and probably jinx myself, if I was superstitious) but I found three forty percent and two ninety percent in the first two rolls.

This batch took a while to acquire. I ordered the fifty rolls from a smallish bank, next county north and they said it would be three weeks before they could complete my order of one thousand dollars worth of half dollar coins.
I began to lose hope, thinking that most of the coins would just be brought in from a larger bank branch. Apparently, they had many bags of older coins that had never been rolled. This sounds positive.

I can not wait to get through all the daily chores and get back to this stack of coin.
Have to go "adult" some, now.

Just stopped binge watching Hannibal on Stan halfway through season 2, just read the wiki synopsis for every episode after. It was becoming more like a long winded soap with the addendum of psycho mind manipulation and graphic violence. "Oh my psychiatrist gaslighted me, installed false memories in my head to convince me I was the serial killer he actually was. Oh well, I forgive him. Lets sit in his therapist chair again and go to his house for dinner". I mean nobody exits stage left for their own sake and starts a new sane life for themselves, they all choose to stay in the small story world they're in and drive each other to criminal insanity? What is the population of Minnesota? How many people are left alive in Minnesota after all of this? So many questions.

Only just popped opened my first two rolls of halves tonight and got all excited.

I ended up with two hundred seventeen halves at forty percent silver and, incredibly, eighty six that are ninety per cent silver.

So that batch worked out fairly well for me. Today's silver spot is still kind of down, so I will sit on these for a while as well.
$218.50 in forty percent and $481.60 in ninety per cent silver at the silver spot for today. But that is fifteen rolls of silver I am keeping out of this batch!
That is more than triple from my last big batch.
Keeping $150 of face value in silver coin and eventually gaining over $700 in silver value.

I tell you guys. This shit still works!

A ute hit an electrical substation just down the road, but if it weren't for FB I'd be none the wiser. I didn't hear the explosion and I can't smell the smoke, but apparently people much further away in other neighbourhoods can. I can't even see a demonic red glow in the night sky from my balcony!

Amazing trip to the record store.

Now, realize, I do not search the massive bins often unless I am searching for a specific thing. I rarely do that. I am looking for lost souls and forgotten albums. I generally just search from the newly arrived, barely sorted bins and I often find things I want, before I knew I wanted them.
Today was a very good haul ...
... an early T-rex, Jefferson Airplane, Electric Ladyland, Hey Jude, many older jazz and four Frank Zappa including UNCLE MEAT, the very first Mothers album, Hot Rats and Cruising with Ruben & the Jets,  ffs!
Zappa is like Hendrix in that he has almost as many albums released after his death that during his life. Actually, I think Hendrix has more posthumous releases that anyone.

This is what I think of when I hear the word "ute". Four door family cars that were built with an alternative body design, an open tray in the back for carrying stuff.

(https://assets.findlotsonline.com/lots/_thumbnails/medium_format/theo-as0206/18.jpg)

And the same cars were also built as vans, and called "panel vans" or "sin bins".


These days we don't make utes any more, so people tend to drive either Japanese or US branded light trucks. Sometimes we call them utes, sometimes we call them trucks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ute_(vehicle)

Quote
A ute (/juːt/ YOOT), originally an abbreviation for "utility" or "coupé utility", is a term used in Australia and New Zealand to describe vehicles with a tray behind the passenger compartment, that can be driven with a regular driver's license.

Traditionally the term referred to vehicles build on passenger car chassis and with the cargo tray integrated with the passenger body. However, present-day usage of the term "ute" in Australia and New Zealand has expanded to include any vehicle with an open cargo area at the rear; which would be called a pickup truck in other countries.

There are vehicles which are obviously utes. And vehicles which are obviously trucks. And there is a grey area in between.

Like this. I would call this a truck. Others would call it a ute. It falls into that grey area.

Zappa is like Hendrix in that he has almost as many albums released after his death that during his life. Actually, I think Hendrix has more posthumous releases that anyone.

Great day shopping for albums!

:headbang:

Although I'm a Zappa fan, I'm not into his early instrumental stuff, just like I don't like a lot of Mr. Bungle instrumental music.

My main point was what incredible variety I found in the "newly arrived bin."  Those are usually only barely searched by the store and there is often amazing, forgotten or neglected treasures to be found.

Since you do not care for instrumental Zappa, maybe you should commit yourself to the Three CD collection of his guitar solo work from about a twenty year era in his career, all live, all awesome. It is called simply, "Shut Up And Play Your Guitar."
Some of the most inspierd guitar work ever AND no damn singing.

I'm thinking about how annoying it is when people don't stay to the right when passing in shopping isles, hallways, or other walking spaces. People think it's funny to say, shall we dance, during that awkward moment of which way to I go, but I feel like saying, this is America and we drive on the right side of the road. That makes me wonder if people generally keep to the left in walkways, in other countries where people drive on the left.  :orly:

It depends. In the U.K. A lot of people walk on the right side of walkways because of the European influence I assume. In Australia we tend to keep to the left BUT we have a lot of immigrants who just kind of randomly wander and congregate in the least convenient places.

We're starting to follow the way of the Japanese and have a keep left policy on escalators. I noticed in the city that there were painted directions going onto escalators with arrows to the left. So people who just stand on escalators do so, while people who want to climb the escalator stairs do so on the right. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Amazing trip to the record store.

Now, realize, I do not search the massive bins often unless I am searching for a specific thing. I rarely do that. I am looking for lost souls and forgotten albums. I generally just search from the newly arrived, barely sorted bins and I often find things I want, before I knew I wanted them.

Great finds.

I should start buying albums again.

Yes, you should, if you have a decent turntable.  AND while there are some great finds still out there.
I would not recommend that a total greenie go out and try this without a great deal of research first.

I never left the analog world except for a few investments in better quality disc players and a few DACs (my latest DAC is tube input and tube output, believe it or not. A couple of huge ICs in the middle that create magic, but maintains over one hundred K-ohm input impedance for what ever load you send and seventy K-ohm output impedance while delivering three volts of signal [2Hz to 400KHz - I know digital does not do that, but tubes do], if needed. It is custom hand made and I bought his fourth effort. I love it!)

I actually have more invested in my Stanton cartridge than in half of the rest of the system. Not really necessary to just enjoy analog sound though. Any decent rig with a hundred dollar cartridge and better than average speakers and amps will astound the listener with truly high quality sound.

These days we don't make utes any more, so people tend to drive either Japanese or US branded light trucks. Sometimes we call them utes, sometimes we call them trucks.

When you feel like it? :P

There are vehicles which are obviously utes. And vehicles which are obviously trucks. And there is a grey area in between.

Like this. I would call this a truck. Others would call it a ute. It falls into that grey area.

Thank you. It's all obvious to me now.

We're starting to follow the way of the Japanese and have a keep left policy on escalators. I noticed in the city that there were painted directions going onto escalators with arrows to the left. So people who just stand on escalators do so, while people who want to climb the escalator stairs do so on the right. Makes a lot of sense to me.

So, until this new policy came in, was there no unwritten/unspoken expectation that people in WA should stand to the left on escalators?

I guess there are bigger differences between cities in Australia than I imagined.

It has been "stand to the left" as long as I can remember in Sydney. Especially on the long escalators to and from the underground railway stations. I ride those every day, everyone stands to the left.

When I got back to Sydney after nearly a decade living in South East Asia, it was a bit of a culture shock to get used to the idea (again) that escalators aren't just a ride. Most people actually walk on them.

Yeah but this is also with brand new homes as well. The bedrooms are tiny even on the plan before it's built. It's hard picking through all these plans trying to find one that has a good size master bedroom and a decent size laundry.

Yes, I'm even pondering building a damn house! There's cheap enough blocks inland somewhat about 30 mins away, but I can't predict the total building cost to turnkey stage.

Second option is to buy something locally. There's some ok ones out there but again some of them are woefully small, even for 3BR stand alone houses. My 2BR dogbox has a bigger total floorspace!! Then the ones with spacious rooms have horrid carpets and kitchens. Nobody bothers to make their house look marketable before selling.

Third option, move 40 mins north and drive on the highway to work everyday. The prices and houses up there are very appealing, but the area has a high crime rate.

Forth option, just fucking leave town altogether. Upper Hunter and Toowoomba are possibilities....

My friend’s 3-bedroom house was built in the 1930s, the two main bedrooms are both much bigger than the main living area. His house really needs a redesign, and my suggestion was that he use one of the main bedrooms as the main living area. And convert the laundry at the back of the house into a 2nd bathroom. Current living area becomes a sitting room, and if he still wants it to be a 3 bedroom he could convert the small dining room to a bedroom. But all the redesigning in the world won’t fix the key issue: he is a hoarder. If someone comes to visit he needs to move stuff so that they’ve got somewhere to sit. I went through and cleaned it all up for him about 7 or 8 years ago, but it’s back to the same state again. The reality is that he’s gonna kick the bucket in about 20 or 30 years and they’ll have to send in a cadaver dog to find him. His daughter will then hire someone to come in and clear the place out and then sell it. His house is worth about AU$2.2M, or US$1.5M, because it’s well located.  My friend’s sister is an even worse hoarder.

Modern houses tend to focus on having a big living area, with small bedrooms. I’ve got to admit that I like small bedrooms, they feel cozy. My house has 2 big and one medium sized living areas. It’s an 80s house. We have ideas for a complete redesign so that there is one big living area, moving the kitchen to the current rumpus room. But I’m never going to be able to afford it.

I know! A 3BR house in most areas of regional QLD has the same market value as my current 2BR unit in yuppietown NSW. And there's only 1% stamp duty in QLD :2thumbsup:. If I do go to Toowoomba I won't be short of choices in my price bracket, that's for sure. I just have to watch some areas, apparently close to the CBD and the southern suburbs are pretty bad?
Mum bawked at Toowoomba when I mentioned it to her. "Too bloody cold!!" she said. But climate seriously isn't a factor for me. I mostly picked the place because it's roughly equidistant between Lightning Ridge and Bundaberg.

And the only reason I chose upper Hunter is because a lady at dancing reckons she can get me a job in Muswellbrook. That's not a bad town but it's really dusty there from the nearby coal mines.

And the only reason I chose upper Hunter is because a lady at dancing reckons she can get me a job in Muswellbrook. That's not a bad town but it's really dusty there from the nearby coal mines.
You got it right. The CBD and southern areas of Toowoomba are a bit dodgy. The east is pretty rich. Old, grand houses there.

I haven't experienced their winter but summer is cooler and there's more rain.

It's awkward, though have heard it used as a bargaining chip. In my previous job, a team member needed something, can't remember what, and was getting pushback about cost. She was on the phone and heard her say, do you realize there's beer here? She said, as long as there's beer here, then I can have whatever I need. :laugh:

Most likely to be debited on the next business day.

Not as annoying as Centrelink - last year at Christmas they paid us 6 days early. That's not good because the subsequent payment seemed really far away and we were totally broke before we got paid again.

I can't watch it though. I have to read the recaps and spoilers like everyone else who refuses to get Foxtel.
Anyway after reading them and watching youtube snippets the aftermath of the latest episode isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Now I am thinking about buying an el cheapo enclosed trailer or delivery van. Cheap but still registered if possible.
I want to be THAT person who parks it out the front of neighbour's houses on the street for months.

No wait that's just a bonus. What I really want it for is to store crap in while I'm trying to move and have open houses and shit.

A van sounds good. No one can see your stuff.

So you're definitely moving? Is it due to your mum wanting to relocate?

^ Well, nan is in hospital at the moment and it looks like she won't be far out of a nursing home when she gets out, thus negating mum's need to move up there to look after her. Mum was dreading having to clean up the house and all her years of clutter anyway.

I actually have an appointment with the bank tomorrow. I'm not liking my chances though (in terms of being able to get a big enough loan).
Property prices here are fucking ridiculous. On one hand I want to get out of this bloody townhouse, but on the other I feel the property market here is way too inflated. The type of house I want to buy (a simple 3BR place) costs more than what my brother paid for his in Brisbane and double what my other brother paid for his in Gloucester.
It would be pretty stupid if a full time working professional with access to a decent deposit can't afford a home here anymore.
Maybe I should move to that petty crim town 30 mins north. QLD is also looking more financially appealing. Houses are at least $100k cheaper!

Well, my nan has been assessed at the hospital and they won't let her go back home to live by herself, so off to a nursing home she shall trundle.

On a lighter note I may be inheriting a rather large dining table of hers. A family heirloom I should call it I guess. They used it as a bench to skin and butcher sheep back in the old days and then nan got it tarted up to use as a normal dining table. I like its morbid history. Hopefully it fits in whatever new house I end up getting.

Had one of those ah-ha moments today.

I don't drive much, used to in my 20's, but after I was sick and had the kid it suddenly changed. I tend to be a nervous wreck most of the time driving, sometimes it got better and many times it got worse to the point of fighting off panic attacks daily. Never put 2 and 2 together and found out what helped equal "better".

When SO left for 2 years I didn't have a car in my name...so he used to leave me his huge F150 4x4 extended cab out of anger figuring I would never drive it and struggle like hell when I had to...and first out of anger also I made myself drive it...then I remember tooling around in that thing 24/7 not a care in the world...I just figured with everything going on in my life, the universe was just letting some of my other "issues" slide for awhile so I wouldn't completely lose my shit.

SO bought a truck from his brother last month. 2002 F150 4x4 Supercrew. It's a behemoth compared to everything else...and I've driven this thing quite a bit already...first out of necessity and the other times out of choice. He rode with me once and just looked at me strange and said "you look relaxed"...and so I am. It's a weird thing.

Thankfully it has a nice grab handle so that I can haul my 5' 1" ass up into the thing and adjustable pedals.   :laugh:

I really hate calling a company for service, in this case, to discontinue service...and get put in "holding hell."  This is a cable tv and internet service provider for us.  So finally I say "fuck it", put the equipment to be returned in the car and drive to the company HQ and get it done there.  total time 20-25 minutes to drive to and fro, speak to a clerk, hand over the equipment and get my receipt and leave.  I would probably have still been on hold for all that time.  I may be a peon/peasant, but, my time is valuable as well.

Email host, Ebay, online banking, CC's....if you do a lot of business online you deal with the 2 step verification process.

Actually I prefer it, because if you have extended family or kids friends you don't exactly trust as far as you can throw them...and they get their hands on a password or a credit card #  they can copy thinking they can use that shit when they get home... up pops a text alert asking for verification or your confirmation...and it can shut down that nonsense a lot more quickly.

After parking my car out in the sun for 2 years, I realise how important it is to have a garage. I really only have a carport though, but it covers my car well and it's not visible from the street. My car is safe.

The last time an RAC guy looked at my car, he said no one will steal it because of the alarm it has. Next car I'm getting will be fitted with the same type of alarm.

With some. They seem to be having really good success with Lumix point and shoots like I have and a few of the older Sony's with the Zeiss lenses it seems to be as simple as using a well-placed magnet and a screw on filter.

I dug out the Fuji but I'm still leaning towards buying an old Sony, the examples I see done with the older dsc-f707 & f717's look amazing for a cheap mod.

I was at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway track eight times this month. Saw a lot of racing, got a good fix. Then, yesterday I got to see a fantastic, really fast race!

Truly a spectacle.

Forgot to mention, I got to see the new stuff at the IMS Museum as well.

Pretty amazing to see a race car that competed in 1911 at the very first Big Event.
So much to see at the museum.
All the new stuff is a tribute to Mario Andretti's career on the fiftieth Anniversary of his one and only win at The Indianapolis 500. He had so many wins and many championships over his long career, but would only win at Indy once. It is a tough track!

Kind of suxXORs that Dr. John is gone.

He was one I worked with back in the seventies. Almost every time I approached east Texas I put in bids for this and that venue and several times Dr. John was working the same venues. I loved the guy. I knew he was older than me by quite a bit, but I did not know he was fourteen years older. He was always SO fresh with his approach to his craft.

I have a lot of his music, I thought, but according to the Wiki discography article, I have a long way to go before I find it all to collect.

He will be missed.
RIP, Dr!

I lowered the credit limit on one to a very low and manageable amount, put warning alerts on it and canceled the other. Keeps it real should anyone in the family we can't trust get their hands on it (which has happened before) and keeps SO in check should he ever need to use it.

It's shit if I ever really NEED it, but thankfully it's always been normally just a method of convenience or emergency backup with me.

I have a great deal of his music on LP and CD and some I have downloaded from youtube (using the 123Gold software) and I am looking for more as the days progress.
I know it will become even more rare in the coming weeks.

Only been to one Mardi Gras, but I have a hard time imagining that time without his music as a kind of background theme.

May be hard on you first. But I think that within six months you'd be happy to have your divorce followed up with a proper separation. No stress about cleaning. No stress about how much money to spend on her.
Having a tidy space for you, where you are in control.

To open an account in your name... isn't that against the law? I would be furious and I bet you were.

When my sister was 18 and got a job, she and her boyfriend opened a shared account at the bank. I told her that that was something I'd never do. They're married and have a family now but still.

Walmart really seems to love pushing my buttons and pushing me to the brink.  And they (mgmt) wonder why I don't give a flying shit about them.  Today for example, I was talking to one of my friends, a week or so ago, she asked me for help reaching for something a customer wanted/needed in the infants section.  Of course, I helped since I am tall with long arms.  This shit ass manager was walking by at the time and after I left, she asked my friend, "Wow, how did you get him to help you?"   WTF, this manager who has the personality of a drowned slug in a beer can, has never asked me for help at all.  And she has the nerve to say that!  I have asked this slug for help in the past, with my equipment, and all she could say was a limp, "I dunno".   :wanker:
I'm going to stop here, since I am trying to calm my brain for sleep and it was a very trying and frustrating night.

That sounds really frustrating rock hound. Job dissatisfaction is really tough because we spend a good chunk of our lives at work.

It sounds like you are carrying on doing the right thing, continuing to be professional, et cetera. Have you considered looking for a new job or position? (please forgive me if you mentioned this elsewhere already)

No worries, I have mentioned it before and I am considering my options.  But, I have achieved a mental/emotional state of equilibrium.  For the simple line is, I just don't care anymore.  I'm not a robot, nor am I a slave.  I'll just keep doing what I am doing and in they don't like it, they can go fuck themselves.  I don't say that, but, my silence and keeping my head up will speak more volumes than words.  My sarcastic attitude will do the job.

According to the family CFO, Carla!  I can start collecting social security at 67.  I turn 64 this year.  And I only work 24 hours a week now.  So it's endurable with my "I don't give a fuck attitude."  I take pride in my work ethic and the job I do.  If I do not meet the walmart unrealistic productivity goals, aka, "galley slave" ideal.  They can fire me or move me to a different part of the store.  Which they do not want to do, since A) I always show up on time, B) They have enough problems hiring workers due to the decent economy and the worker shortage in NH.  C) I work steady, just not fast enough to satisfy some office geek with no realistic comprehension of the work situation.

Coming up on one of my LEAST favorite holidaze in the US.  Yep, July 4th, Independence Day, etc, etc, etc.  The usual patriotic BS being spouted by our politicians.  The great excuse for boozing and setting off fireworks at all hours of the day and night.  The poor animals, domestic and wild,  that get frightened out of their wits due to said fireworks.  The usual excuses to drink and drive and act like idiots.  The shopping frenzy that happens before EVERY holiday.  I'll be happy to stay home, read a book and listen to my music and stay off the roadways. 

My absolutely least favorite holiday......New Years.  But, that's another story.  I'll enjoy Canada Day today!

So you celebrate the holiday of your neighbours but not your own? Bit odd. In Canada they have a good time too.

In Britain we don't have a national holiday. If we did, the intolerant would play up. Armed Forces Day is the nearest, and that's relatively recent. There are regional holidays like St George's Day but these are barely celebrated. The Union itself is controversial and bigots (pro and anti) and racists would start.

I have strong Canadian Connections, and my ancestors came from there.  In fact, I have many relatives in southern Quebec, though we have long since drifted apart.  Oh. I'm sure they have a good time, but, it can't be as stupid about it as were are in the US.  And the bigots and intolerant come out here and there as well.   One of my FB friends, a member here, has posted on their page about a bigot politician mini-trumpolini who was elected in a high population province of Canada.  I'm keeping that vague to avoid doxxing them.

Your post clarified something about July 4.  President Trump wants to finally corrupt/ruin the day by a great military display, with him as the crown jewel flanked by Lincoln and Jackson.  But the original July 4 was not about the military or battles.  It was the day most of the signers signed the declaration.  It is more of a philosophical holiday.  So I will spend some time on Thursday thinking about the ideas they presented to us.

Unless you can actually call yourself a Canadian citizen, Canada would call you childish for celebrating something that isn't you because of hare-brained political reasons.

For everyone else St Patrick's Day is for the Irish and their diaspora. With everyone else they're giving them a celebration that isn't their own in order to rake it in. If you don't qualify for the passport it's not you.

As for Trump - he's fine. The civil service is really in charge, not Trump.

I like this view. I will join you in doing the same that day. I have a book called "Debating Democracy: Native American Legacy of Freedom". I will read some of this in July.

It's politically incorrect to celebrate Australia Day, even in Australia.

The progressives among us refer to that day as "Invasion Day".

Well, there are many fundamentalist religious groups that believe the Earth was made in 7 days, or a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis in the Bible.  And due to some Irish clergyman in the dim past, who calculated the years according to HIS interpretation of the Book of Genesis, that the Earth is only 6000 years old.  And some of the fundies don't like to be contradicted according to their pseudo-science.  Any evidence to the contrary of their beliefs has one of two motives, Satan falsifying the geological record, and this is the final weirdness, God himself, left this "evidence" as a test to man's devotion to the "truth" of the Bible.  It's the ultimate circle jerk argument that is unwinnable.   :laugh:

And finally, I wear my t-shirt that reads "You are the product of 4 billion years of elegant evolution!   ACT LIKE IT!"  And I go to the local hannaford store where the clerk in the fast check out lane looks at it and looks quite offended.  He is putting an effort to be polite and it makes me smile.  This is not the first time and all I can think, is "go ahead and hate the shirt, it tells me more about you than you can ever show.  I don't wear this shirt to provoke a response, but, if it pisses some people off...I don't Foooking care.  I didn't even plan on being at that store today.  Oh well!    :laugh:

Seems like a good shirt. Why would folks react badly? They must not be used to the Nobility.  :M

Well, there are many fundamentalist religious groups that believe the Earth was made in 7 days, or a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis in the Bible.  And due to some Irish clergyman in the dim past, who calculated the years according to HIS interpretation of the Book of Genesis, that the Earth is only 6000 years old.  And some of the fundies don't like to be contradicted according to their pseudo-science.  Any evidence to the contrary of their beliefs has one of two motives, Satan falsifying the geological record, and this is the final weirdness, God himself, left this "evidence" as a test to man's devotion to the "truth" of the Bible.  It's the ultimate circle jerk argument that is unwinnable.   :laugh:

Some humans are incorrigible. I used to have this theory that is was due to poor leadership, and humans' tendency to need a leader (such as following an erroneous preaching). Now, I honestly don't know.

A good question.  Some people need a leader, desperately need a leader and will follow anyone who fits their ideations.  Some people are just weird and will suck the teats of whatever fits their needs or desires and bounce around to whatever gives them their jollies.  Then there are the people who look, observe, analyze, distill, debate and make up their own minds and follow their own path.  I like to think that I am of that ilk.  I am friends with the unfriendable, love the unlovable,  and I don't follow anybody......I've been burned too many times by the "follow me" personalities.  Those persons have been major disappointments for obvious reasons.

Next weekend's DIY job: getting some self-levelling compound for my downstairs concrete subfloor in preparation for the flooring I want.
But the area I need to do is right in the centre of the house with no alternative way to the front door, which means when I do it I will either have to stay stuck in one end of the house until the compound sets (can still access the bathroom, computer and bedroom, but what if I run out of food?!), or stay stuck outside until the compound sets. The faster setting it is the better it will be.

The bathroom and bedroom are on the second level, so no  :laugh:. Out the back there is a 6ft high brick fence so no going that way either.
I might do it so I get stuck outside, so that way I'm able to rush to Bunnings should I need emergency DIY supplies.

I self-mixed it into 1/8 strength tonight and it just looks like a fresher version of antique white USA. Time to make 1/6th strength :nerdy:

I have concluded the first temperature test with my vinyl plank flooring sample. I put it in the fridge to see how much it would shrink, and it did by 2mm.
Now to put it in the full sun all day to see how much it expands.

I did vinyl plank. What a shit show.

Go over your subfloor with a microscope...put down an under layment/padding before you lay it if it's not already padded on the back. No matter how much that moron in the flooring section tells you that you don't need padding...

Every uneven spot you missed, every small furrow, nail heads/screws in the sub floor no matter how flush or countersunk and patched...4 months later and I could see them all. Mine has separated, cracked at a few of the joints, and it scratches so easy it's not even funny.

The only good part about it is that it's extremely easy to trim and cut and it's definitely waterproof.

Good luck.

^ Yeah I'm leaning towards rigid hybrid flooring at the moment (it's like a cross between laminate and vinyl).
I'm installing it on a cement subfloor which may or may not need levelling first. I haven't really gotten good advice yet, but there's a few factors at play.
The sample was some Heartridge flooring which is about 5mm thick. I just don't want gaps between the planks due to changes in temp all the time.
I'll have more samples coming this week from Armstrong and Karndean 8)

When we rebuilt the house PA turned the choices and oversight over to me.  I had large (18 inch?) tiles installed for the floor.  They keep the house very cool in the summer.  Winter isn't too much of a problem since I wear shoes year round now to help minimize falling.

Have the same thing. Not sure if the house is actually cooler but it does seem cooler, and much better on husband's allergies. House is really loud though.

I have textured vinyl downstairs in my house. It was done about 21 years ago, supposed to last 10 years but still going strong.

I installed a floating floor in my ex's apartment near DC. I had no idea what I was doing, just basically listened to someone at the hardware store and put down the soft underlay and cut the floorboards with a handsaw. Tore up the old carpet by myself. It looked really good. I much prefer it to tiles or carpet.

We had that in one section of the old house. The guy SO hired grouted it and SO walked on countless times in the time it was supposed to set....so it crumbled right out. I spent 2 days removing the old grout and preparing the floor and 1 day re-grouting it...roped it off and told them they COULD NOT walk on it for 24 hours and figured I'd seal it and be good to go. Kid listened, SO just moved the rope. Ended up tearing the whole thing up, trashing it, and stapling down carpet.

I envisioned the same thing here, since we were already moved in at the time. Some things aren't worth repeating.

my latest little post just got me thinking about a pair of middle-class friends of mine, that I fell out with a couple of years back. Well, not fell out with , exactly. It's just that i felt too glum after my last visit to return as planned . And now it suddebly strikes me that i never sent them a Christmas card this year, nor even let then know that I;ve moved , and passed on my new address. And I'm not at all sure that I want to put that right

It's not that they're remainers , exactly. I will happily overlook political differences. It's that they voiced the opinion that Brexiteers are all racists. And  they  followed that up with the observation that they had some very nice Polish people as well as Pakistanis  living in their neighbourhood, and how much they enjoyed the multicultural vibe, just as if that were relevant to the question in hand (which concerned the Housing Crisis, at that point in the conversation) .  And these are really intelligent people, which made it all the more depressing.

I would probably have swallowed my sense of offense at being casually put down as racist, and got over that.  But then,   after changing the subject, and chatting away for an hour or so about more agreeable topics, we got on to talking about Asperger's and one of them suddenly chimed in with  "We're all on the spectrum, arent we "

Huh. Well, maybe that was supposed to reassure me that we have  something in common. But, somehow,  it had the polar opposite effect.  Never felt so roundly dismissed in my life.

PS. oh! and hark at me, calling them ""middle-class friends"  :LOL: when i would normally, much more warmly,  call them "very old friends whom I've known since my schoodays"  at which point in time i never understood, nor even noticed those  class distinctions.  Even now, I dont consider it especially meaningul, normally.  That must be my óngoing sense of alienation talking, eh?  *sigh *

I wouldn't think you'd put up with that. I know I wouldn't.

One of my friends hooked up with a lady who was 39 and desperate to have a baby after a series of failed relationships with the sort of guys she was actually attracted to. So she hooked up with my "different" friend who owns a nice house and doesn't blow his money on fast cars, clothes, and trying to impress women.

He was packing up his stuff and getting ready to rent out his house in Sydney and move to her new house about 2 hours outside Sydney. She drove down and went through his clothes and threw out all the stuff that was too embarrassing. Ancient shirts with yellow stains around the collar and armpits.

He waited until she had driven off and he went to his rubbish bin and pulled out all the old clothes. Then the next day he drove up to see her wearing some of the clothes that she had thrown out the day before.

And you can imagine how that went down. He was telling me later that he couldn't understand why she was so angry with him for wearing a shirt that was still perfectly good apart from being a bit threadbare and yellow around the armpits and collar, and some old tracksuit pants with a few holes and tears.


My wife isn't that bad. I think in the past 10 years she has thrown away one jacket. We had a couple of incidents early on in our relationship where she threw my stuff away because it was embarrassing her or because it was old and I was displeased and made sure she understood that it was not acceptable to me. These days she mostly just tries to encourage me to dress a little more presentably.

Dammit, you and MOSW's wife both remind me of my Mum.  She used to chuck my embarrassing clothing in the bin cos she could, and i was too young to just walk out. She even chucked out unsuitable books (eg about sex)  and excess books. I just managed to rescue a library book in the nick of time, once.

 In other things, and with other people she showed her crafty side. One incident of craftiness was really funny, actually.


My Dad had given up smoking on Doctor's orders and Mum had given up along with him, as a show of solidarity. Well, more show than solidarity. She still had a crafty one when he wasn't looking.  Once, when they were staying at my sisters, Dad was looking for his tablets, and Mum said ""They're in that brown bag in the bedroom upstairs".  As soon as he went off , she pulled out a cig and lit it.  Sister stared at her aghast . "He'll be back in a few seconds"

"No he won't" Mum smiled, "I told him the wrong bag"

Lots happening at the airport today. Systems outages, long queues, cancelled flights, ... and just now, someone had left cabin luggage in the middle of a walkway. Security picked it up and they'll probably destroy it unless the owner shows up.

Daughters ex-boyfriend at it again!   ::)  Tried to reinstate the "No stalking" court appearance (which was dismissed)  citing another bunch of appearances at my local and favored supermarket as "proof" that I am stalking him.  Got the letter from the court yesterday, with it's list of reasons to do it all over again.  Judge wrote "DENIED" at the bottom.  I have added it to the file with other letters and papers and labeled it...."INHUMAN".   :laugh:  Carla and I have been mocking him and his keeping tabs on me.  I feel like the Road Runner in the Looney tunes cartoon, evading all of Wile E.

Last night at work at the Rochester NH walmart.....we heard that they were having problems with the freezers in the frozen foods/ice cream section.  So at 10 pm, 1 hour before our shift ends, my supervisor comes to get us to clean out the freezer displays {which are huge and long}, put them in specially labeled CARDBOARD boxes and cart them to the main freezer.  As we were walking to that section of store, my supervisor responded to my question, "I thought they had them fixed?".  His reply, "They did, twice, they are just refusing to come out again for a third time, so we have to do this." 

My thoughts, A billion dollar corporation and they cannot get reliable competent repair people to do the job!!!!!!   A billion dollar corporation and we have crappy scanners and printers to work with.  A billion dollar corporation and the computers we need to do our computer based learning things crap out consistently..........boggles my mind!

Have you not noticed the divisiveness in "everything" these days.  Maybe you are insulated from some of it. BUT on this side of the pond, it seems that everyone falls into some kind of    ---ist description and whatever you say identifies you as having subscribed to this or that   --- ism?

This crap is some of the most absurd"ist"   attempts to divide people (making sure that the majority of the "center----ists"  can not possibly unify and create a political voting majority) I have see in recent years.


That is serious shit, but I was making a joke calling you a life-ist. As far as I know there is no such thing, yet.

yeah, i've certainly noticed the ists springing up all over the place. Thought i knew what an ist was until they threw "Islamist" into the mix. This turned out to mean pretty much the polar opposite of what I thought it meant, applying what appeared to be the usual rule. So now, I just dunno. Whenever a new ist springs up, these days,  i wait and see which extreme other people  think they're at. That is, I'm now going by the rule that the majority must be right, even when they're wrong, especially where the English language is concerned.

So does a Lifeist want to disinfect the world of pigs, humans , daisies , foetuses , bacteria, strawberries , seaweed,  everything organic?...or is it one of  those rabidly  anti-abortion people  perhaps? Seeing as you just invented the word, i guess neither of us knows. We'll just have to wait for the word to take off, then watch where it lands. Come to think of it, neither of those two  descriptions applies to me, so I'm probably safe saying "No, I'm not". But I'm suerly not ready to face the Inquision on that one   :lol1:

I mentioned how I have reclaimed my garage work space from all the crap I tend to "hoard" over time.

One thing I found troubles me a bit.
I discovered an entire gym bag, completely full of old film, 35mm rolls by the dozens, along with maybe a hundred rolls of 120 and 220 color and black and white, even some slide film in the mess.
I had intended to donate the film to a local school, but I suppose I forgot, back in about '03 or '04.

Anyway, this shit is quite toxic if just dumped into a garbage collection bin. I have decided that it is probably of no use to anyone, these days. I will need to drop it off at our local toxic compound disposal facility - the place that deals properly with old paint, dead electronics, prescription medications, pest treatments and poisons, household chemicals of all sorts, etc.

Not this film, hopefully. I would be one to use film as well. It is just that I have gotten so far away from my photography interests with all my other interests these days.
I literally was going to donate it when I retired. I had it all bundled up, ready to go, then I got busy and forgot about it. It has been stored in open heat of summer and very cold winters.
Some of the black and white film might do OK, but the delicate color film (especially the E-6 processed positive film) is not as stable under questionable conditions. It has been forgotten and neglected for fourteen years.

There is quite a demand for expired file on eBay.

Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: DirtDawg on September 22, 2019, 01:20:45 AM
Basically, that's the same stuff as the 270 rolls of 220 Kodak Portra (39 unopened bricks plus many other loose rolls), 46 rolls of 220 Fujichrome Velvia 100 (mostly in bricks), 89 rolls of 120 Kodak Portra, 93 rolls of Agfa 50 ISO B&W in 220 (all in bricks except 3 rolls), 68 rolls Ilford 400 ISO 120 all individual rolls, 473 rolls of various 35mm, 2 - 33meter long rolls of sealed Fujichrome 50 ISO in 35mm (the "load your own rolls" type and yes, a couple of dark loaders as well).

There are also five rolls of unperforated 70mm Kodak Portra 400 ISO in 100M cans that I can not seem to find a price on. And, yes, I still have a camera, to run that film, Camerz SLR with a 70-250 zoom, fixed but, movable 8ft, 12ft or 22ft focal length lens, for that film along with a spare film magazine. Can not sell it. No one even knows what it is or how to use it. I used them for years inside studio environments. They are NOT portable!

Few other film rolls as well, but I would have to get into the smaller quantities to describe many more.

Curiosity forced me to lay it all out and count everything to determine if donating it to gain a tax deduction might be worth pursuing.  Might be worth donating still.
Determining a value is the hardest part.


As I said, this whole thing is troubling to me.
Kind of like so many of my father's old musical instruments left behind; I just need to find someone local to give it all to.


Thanks for the link, but I am not interested in dealing with eBay anymore. Hard to believe what they are getting for this stuff on eBay. Those prices are way more than what I paid for brand new product.

You guys are making me want to get out my old Nikon F4 35mm  and  Mamiya RB67 120/220 cameras and play around again. Other than two large format cameras (Sinar P2 Expert and Graflex Speed Graphic, both in 4x5 format) those are the two film cameras I kept when I liquidated everything else.
Those two models represent innovative cameras that blew every other competitor off the map when they came out. Could not really let go of those.

^Makes me want to dig up my film gear and shoot a few rolls.

Many years ago, long before the advent of digital, when I still made short films on 16mm, I did one using two stocks of negative, both stored for a period of time. There was no consistency in anything - both had aged but very differently, in addition to the differing grain, and I couldn't afford anything beyond a rudimentary processing at the lab. Actual colour timing was way beyond my budget. I saved money by shooting with that negative but would have had to spend a lot more to fix the results.

Your experience follows along with most of my attempts at using film, especially color film, that has not been stored well.
Black and white film is far more forgiving of many abuses, but the color processes are all just too touchy to depend upon old film and clearly so if you expect to make a living taking photographs, questionable film stocks are just not worth the gamble.

In my studio I kept a refrigerator just for film. The freezer section was full of sealed cans of long roll film, which I would move to the cooler before I opened them. I went through an evening ritual everyday to judge my room temperature stocks and pull some film for the next few days, Every Day.

I miss the fun of doing photography, not the people and the stresses. Becoming a professional photographer seems like a great idea for someone with such interests, but that movement clouded,  drained away and eventually destroyed my "Hobby Interests" in the entire process.

I have to admit, though, I would not have the investments and ability to retire well without that "career"  being a large part of my life.

For me, shooting on film was about constantly having to look for money. It was fun to make films but I don't miss the fact that we'd usually not know if there was any money to complete the damned thing when we started.

These days, anyone can produce a film, all the way from script to cut. All you need is your mobile phone. :P

Then they left and later returned to find me suffering from sleep paralysis. They kept making fun of me as I tried to move and get their attention. At the time I thought I was dying. I was able to finally flop myself over on to the one girl's bed, but still asleep. She says, "I'll have a go!" Oh boy, finally after all these years... Nope!

I'm going to my niece's wedding on the 26th of October. She wrote a poem on Facebook that basically says instead of gifts, they want money. Is this rude to ask for? I've heard of people putting out a list of things they want for their wedding and I've thought that's borderline rude.

Oh well, I'll give them money. It's meant to be for their honeymoon.

The Baltic Birch plywood I need for my new project (JBL 4345 studio monitor mirrored pair, eighteen inch woofers, twelve inch low mids, two inch upper mid horn with hardwood diffuser, slot tweet) is going to cost me over four hundred dollars for three sheets and a month to order. DAMN!
I finally have all the drivers after almost ten years of searching and buying one piece at a time.

I can not cheap out on the wood! I will do this, but DAMN!

I wish the dogs would take their wrestling session somewhere else other than my bed. They do it every night but they're both so massive that I end up curled up in a ball to avoid being trampled in the process. They know it's nighttime and it only lasts about 10 mins but they're like two little kids having a sleepover and if I tell them it's quiet time, they'll lay there for about 90 seconds before one pokes the other with a paw and it starts all over again.  ::)x  :lol1:

Yes, I've been on it for years via a prescription. My doctor and psych recommended it and it does have it's benefits. Pain, anxiety, sleep etc. When I go for my checkups I'm easily the youngest person in the waiting room. There's a lot of seniors who are seeing benefits of it for arthritis as well.

I read a study awhile back that there's a bigger benefit when it comes from the whole plant vs just hemp but there's still value in the hemp product and it's far better than nothing for the states that haven't legalized marijuana.

Yup. I'm an irregular user. But does me lots of good. Kid uses it daily. Almost does as much for her as the risperidone did, but without horrible side effects.

Proper car care and level 3 water restrictions are not compatible with one another.
The restrictions specifically say "bucket" (non-plural), so no more two-bucket car wash method. Nor do I have a lawn to park on whilst doing so.
I could take the car to a self serve car wash place but the brushes are scratchy, and I certainly don't trust the pimply teens at the valet one nearby.

It's been a little less than a year since my oldest and dearest friend/father figure , Frederick P. Murray, passed away at 93.  I still think about him and I still grieve.  Even now, I told Carla to make a donation to his specified charity, the Stuttering Foundation and while I did I began to cry and choke up.  Grief has no time limits.  He was an awesome man, a man of contradictions, but, a man  of loyalty and being true to himself.  I miss him terribly and on our trip to Florida I missed him to the point where I had periods of not wanting to do ANYTHING.   But, that was not his way.  He was a force of nature and the only real way I could honor him was by doing the same.  Just doing it and living it.  He still lives, in my heart!

I was thinking of Hyke too. Imagine if all three of us lived in the same city and could trade off help for each other when we got too fried.

I actually took the whole post to be directed from you towards Hyke but I love kids. I couldn't help myself. Had to jump in. lol

But yes, the support and wisdom from the three of us put together would be valuable for so many reasons.

Went out to dinner last night with friends and one friend has a 10 year old son who definitely isn't the favourite amongst the family but I wouldn't be surprised if he was diagnosed as being ASD and I took to him immediately and he to me. It was the first time we had met but he picked up quite quickly that I understood him and so he stuck to me and I enjoyed that.

I would be so in to that.

Funny, if my gran hadn't been very ill when my parents got married, I would have been a Canadian girl. So it would even have been possible.

But, yes. Would love it. There's the comfort of not having to explain part of the struggle. There's the relief of someone getting it. And someone happy to take over for a while.

And like Phoenix,  I'd love to take care of the cub so that you would have some time to recuperate without having to be on alert for the wee one.

I know I crave those moments. They've been way to rare here. Things are not going well. But even just two hours alone in a month makes a massive difference.
No matter what I do with that time, take a nap, blast my music, rummage through stuff to find something, whatever. The comfort of the certainty of no appeal to me and no need to hold back on sound or movement for a few hours in my own space is very wholesome.
Those few hours make me enjoy the great things of parenting after it more too.

Yeah, it's funny, I'm too old for the BS, but, old enough that the BS slides right by me.  I do my job and the BS slides right by me.  In this case, it's a former supervisor who wanted me out of my job because I wasn't fast enough or "productive" according the wallymart algorithms.  Yet she was shuffled out due to her instability and carelessness in how she handled staff.  She would spend more time with her husband in another division of the store than supervising.....yet, she wanted a higher salary and considered herself superior to everybody else.  Now upper mgmt. is scrambling to find her replacement.  So they are throwing stuff against the wall like pasta to see what sticks.  And I just sit there and laugh at the idiocy of it all.

No, my clients are all on hiatus until the New Year. They're all in relatively good places so I cleared my schedule. I had to because I haven't bounced back since the hotel incident in MO. I can only seem to sleep deeply during the day when I know things feel safe so the smallest things seem to trip me up. But I'm sitting in this state of hyper vigilance at night so I think the lack of sleep and high anxiety/stress is the culprit.

Would something like a massage help? Taking away the bodily signals of muscles telling you need to be hyper alert all the time?

Sometimes seeing the physiotherapist makes me sleep at night, because my neck and shoulders have been relieved from their 24/7 duty, and somehow my mind then listens. (If that makes sense )

Unfortunately, no. Having people I don't know touch my body is a massive no now. As are staying in hotels by myself. Having been digging at that with my psych but we've agreed I can't test trauma right now. My body is too riddled with it.  In some ways it upsets me because both used to be something I looked forward to.

Hyper vigilance is one of my adaptations.  Just recently, I was approached by a customer for help and as I was giving it, he raised his hand like he was going to clap me on the shoulder or arm and I VISIBLY recoiled.  While I was still being civil, it irks me when people irl and online do that.   I set boundaries, and when people irl and online cross that, I push back......I don't trust strangers and when people lose my trust they never get it back.

I think it would be hilarious if Trump's own party turned against him and voted to take him out of office. It won't happen but I'd love to see his reaction if it did.

Right?? Shockingly, Christianity Today called for him to be removed from office.

"The top editor at Christianity Today, the flagship Evangelical magazine, is calling for President Trump to be removed from office in a scathing new editorial saying Trump's conversation with Ukraine's president is "not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral."

Do you think they really want him out of office? Or is calling yourself Christian while vocally supporting a scumbag like Trump no longer a tenable position?

You may have hit the nail on the head. "Hey, let's increase readership."
I can "witness"  to you as a reforming Christian, that it is not up to the church or any retiring pastors to dictate "specific" morality. That is an instant Red Flag once someone tries that nonsense to one who actually has studied it all and tries to follow the teachings of Christ. There is a "coming into the fold" teaching that does not exclude people.

I know it has been over two thousand years and most in our society do not believe in any kind of afterlife in Paradise, but the teachings are still valid and following that lifestyle taught by Christ so long ago will make you a better person and our world a better place if we all just try.

Assigning hard edged moralities for a mass of people was one item he fought against which flew in the faces of those "in charge" and ideas like that contributed to his being crucified.

My brother wants me, mum and my other bro to drive down to Gloucester and spend two nights at his for xmas, but I can barely stand staying for one.
I mean, his kids are good but it's him and the Mrs I can't put up with. In all likelihood they'll have some squabble and make us sit in their loungeroom for hours twiddling our thumbs while they sort it out. They say they want to have a picnic on boxing day but won't decide the what, when and where at the very last minute, if they even get around to deciding at all.
Whilst we were at mum's house having xmas eve dinner my bro called tonight to re-confirm the next 72 hours worth of plans, and me in my half-pickled state yelled over my mum's shoulder "NO I CAN'T TOLERATE MORE THAN ONE NIGHT!!" (which is the truth, I can't tolerate having to give other people control of two days of my life, and I don't want to spend it waiting around for people to get their act together when I could be spending it at home catching up on sleep or painting)

I hope he didn't think I was talking about the kids.

I don't blame you. That sounds incredibly stressful and I wouldn't want to go either. I don't like staying over at other people's houses because there's no time or space to have time to myself and too much of too many people and things and noises does my head in.

I remember one time when the three of us were in Brisbane for a music festival, and the night before we went for a wander in Queen St Mall.
They got into a tiff in the mall about something as stupid as him not answering her calls. And I swear not exaggerating, I had to stand in one spot outside the Telstra shop for TWO HOURS with them while they talked it out. We didn't get back to our motel to cook dinner until like 10:00pm.

Or what about the xmas me and my brother went down for xmas lunch with them and her parents. Got there at about 10:00am in the morning. We had to leave at 3pm to go home because my mum was still working back then. We had no idea where her parents lived so could only wait for them to escort us there. They finally got off their asses and we got to her parents at 2:30pm with the food still not cooked yet. We had to go home after one quick beer and took a perished doggy bag of white xmas, grapes and cheese.

And then there was last xmas with them and her family in which we arrived right on the time they told us to be there (12:00 midday) only to arrive to a finished BBQ with nothing left for us but cold leftovers. I mean, I originally though we were there for an extended family BBQ, but no we were just three people who seemingly got invited to eat the leftovers from their family BBQ. We even had to sit at another table and everything.

If my brother says anything stupid about my lack of desire to not stay another night I'll just walk out and leave right in front of him. I'm driving myself down so can leave any time I want  :zoinks:

Sitting in the peace and quiet of the home.  Carla and Amber have gone to Christmas Mass.  I took a walk to put out the recyclables and did a spot of vacuuming.  Quite a contrast to yesterday at work and the xmas eve chaos of walmart.  Carla and I both worked at our respective stores and we both had war stories of chaos, crazy customers, idiot managers and insane noise levels of the store music.  Fortunately Amber made a taco supper for us after which I had my 2 glasses of wine in my black glass goblet with "Poison" etched on the side.  (I found it in a thrift store and it appealed to my macabre sense of humor and if memory serves, "Poison" was the name of a rock band in the 80's or 90's.)  A hot shower and simply chilling out did the rest.  So tired We all went to bed WAY earlier than usual.   8)

Most walmart customers are nice and appreciative with the help or answers that I give them.   And then there is this one crotchety old bastard or bitch who feels that they need to dump on me when I can't give them the answer they want.  Today it was some old fool with a jar of marshmallow fluff in his hand.  I was working in the coffee/Peanut butter/jam/bread aisle.  He asks me where the marshmallow fluff is kept.  In our store it's in the baking aisle with the MARSHMALLOWS.  He proceeds to rant to me about how this should be in the peanut butter aisle.  Slams the jar he has IN HIS HANDS and stalks off.  Now I have a cold, feel like crap and I nearly exploded with my own rage.  But, all I could muster was a very sarcastic sounding, "I'm sorry, sir".  It's hard for me to NOT take it personally and one of these days I will blow up.

I would like Charlotte to move here but we definitely don't have more rain. The wettest January on record where I live had only 75mm of rain and that was in 2006. It's common for it to not rain in January at all.

Every summer on the news they show our dams (where we get our water from) getting lower and lower. Part of that is due to population growth and part is due to less rain.

The tropics are probably the only options. The only problem is most of the coastal QLD towns north of the Capricornia coast are absolute shit holes. And cyclones (though I can't complain as they contribute to rainfall)

A choice between living in Sydney with a dead lawn and dying garden, and moving to the tropical north, is a pretty easy one.

I knew an English couple who moved from Sydney to Darwin just for the fishing. I can appreciate that. He travelled around setting up sports broadcasts so they could live anywhere they liked as long as it was near an airport.

I spent 5 years in Nebraska and I wouldn't live in the Midwest again unless I was paid well into the 6 digits to do so.

You have tornadoes, floods and hot & muggy weather in the summer, then polar vortex blasts of freezing cold in the winter. Not to mention asshole rednecks year round. And if you're near Chicago, you can throw in ghetto thugs to boot.

Personally I need to live in the mountains. Where I'm at rarely gets above 100F in the summer (with low humidity mind you) and rarely drops below 0F in the winter. Most of the year the weather is fairly pleasant and we're surrounded by mountains, forests, rivers and lakes. When you add in 36 local breweries and legal pot, it makes it a pretty nice place to live.   8)

Most bizarre incident tonight.  Amber comes out of her room saying that there is some guy outside our duplex yelling "Help me".
Of course, my first thought was that it was her ex-boyfriend.  So I say, "call the cops", which she does and I go downstairs to our front door to make sure it is locked.  Turns out that there is a truck, with some guy yelling outside our neighbors door.  The dispatcher tells Amber that somebody has already called and that the cops are already on their way.  3 cop cars show up, (I should add that we live on an isolated stretch of a hill and driveway.)  I turn on our porch light and look warily outside, the cops are talking to him and a woman, next to a truck with Massachusetts license plates.........WTF.  I watch as they try to talk him down.........next an ambulance shows up and they have restrained him and are dragging him to it.  The woman is apparently HIS MOTHER.  I call out is "Everything all right"  , thinking its our neighbor talking to the cops.  WRONG, the woman walks towards me and says, "I'm sorry, my son is having a breakdown."  I tell her to stop and not come any closer.  I have no idea wtf this is about and why a truck with Mass. plates is in our driveway and why this psycho came up here.  I hear words like, "marijuana" and such and I get back inside and slam the door and lock it.  Fotunately, they leave except for one cop car who stays behind and I guess tries to talk to our neighbor, who is a mother of a 3 year old AND an ex-marine.  And her husband is also a marine and now a Navy recruiter. 

Why this psycho asshole, maybe high on synthetic pot, is in our area having a "breakdown" and from Massatwoshits....is beyond me.   :hide:

I'm starting to think my HBQ (hogs bristle qtr) shade for the walls looks a bit too blah for the downstairs area.
Maybe I should play it up by painting two of the opposing smaller walls white and just put the HBQ on the longer side walls.

On a related note my super white ceiling looks really nice.

Cool, so you're painting again. :)  I've never painted ceilings but i have painted walls. In the flat I used to have, the walls were peach when I moved in so I didn't put up with that for long. I painted the lounge room pale blue with a dark blue feature wall. Looked good with my wooden bookcase. I miss that flat.

Yes. Not as much as I could have got done over the holidays but I did my downstairs ceiling and one wall. It's just been so hot and muggy and I don't have much air movement in my place which makes painting sweaty and laborious. I couldn't do the ceiling at night either because my lights are too bright :laugh:
A feature wall would be cool, but I have to remember I'm not painting for me, I'm painting for mass market appeal. I have to stick to light neutral tones.

Maybe you're not asking for their input in a way that makes them comfortable telling you the truth. I don't like criticizing art because I don't know enough about art to give an effective critique. Experiencing someone's art is very personal, like seeing them nude. I believe sharing art is very brave and I see no need to give negative opinions based on my own individual taste. If you were to ask me what your art makes me think and feel, then I'd probably tell you that.  :thumbup:

I actually haven't gotten much good feedback there, or really gotten noticed at all. Too many wannabe artistic types, substantive critique is a valued commodity and getting it requires too much networking and very frequent participation in their communities.

I really think a site like this where people know you and are happy to have a conversation is a better bet. If you have a thick enough skin to take bullshit too.

Indeed.

I got up one night to shut the dog up and discovered that a mob of raccoons were turning over and rummaging through our garbage out at the back end of our lot.
I looked down the alley and I was not the first to have his trash gone through by these vermin.

Not much I could do. I do not want them dead or even gone. I enjoy having wildlife close by, especially in town where I live.
I shined my evil massive flashlight at them and stomped my feet. They ran and I picked up my garbage, added a big block of brick to the top of the bins and tried again to get some sleep.

Life is actually really good these days!

I went out dancing last night and I realized that one of the reasons I love dancing so much, beyond music being one of my obsessions, is that when I'm dancing is when I feel most free and there's no feeling of trauma that I battle in my day to day life. It's like pressing the reset button.

Awesome. I hope that reset button never wears out!

Think of any good ones? I know we have both been on the big D. Probably have not posted there in ten years or so. I went by "Fractality."  Last time I looked I no longer existed.

I actually haven't gotten much good feedback there, or really gotten noticed at all. Too many wannabe artistic types, substantive critique is a valued commodity and getting it requires too much networking and very frequent participation in their communities.

I really think a site like this where people know you and are happy to have a conversation is a better bet. If you have a thick enough skin to take bullshit too.

I just mentioned that site because it is the "biggest" free place. As I noted I was done with it as well. For a new artist trying to find ones way, any response can be helpful. Just how helpful may depend upon many things and especially, as you bring up, the thickness of ones skin.

Sorry, I really have no options for this question. All the typical choices seem too obvious to mention; Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Etsy, ad infinitum.
Not much first hand to share with that world.

My dog was a four times returned to the Humane Shelter unwanted horrible beast when we got him. He was known as a biter. He bit people.
Oh, that means he was destined for euthanasia.

About half way through the second day with him I realized that he was not actually snapping at me, but if I approached on the side where he had recently lost an eye, he was snapping at the horror of the new blindness.
Yep. My dog is blind in one eye. No one wanted him, because, due to his fear of being blind, he attacked what surprised him that he could not see. Once I figured this out and I was more aware of his needs, I gained his confidence, slowly. No more biting, no more just randomly snapping at his blind side. You always let him see you approaching.

Yeah, a big pain in the ass for some people to have to deal with, but he has turned out to be just a regular dog and I love him dearly.

All he ever needed was love and understanding.
Sound familiar? Does that sound like you or me? Maybe both of us? Do not know, but I was able to gain his trust by just this bit of allowing him to be a little off and making him a solid, safe place to learn to live and love.

I take him with me in the car every time I leave home, except for a grocery run. Dogs are frowned upon when inside a grocery store. He loves to go with me everywhere.
I really love my oddball, dangerous, biter, unwanted dog. Not even to mention, he is beautiful!

My parents just adopted a rescued pitbull who was overbred and used as a bait dog for years and then dumped when she was so emaciated you could place a finger in between each of her ribs. Her snoot, neck and shoulders are covered in bite scars. Some rando off the street tried to crop her ears and they're mangled to hell. She's terrified of ceiling fans and anything new. But she's the biggest love bug. Once she knows you, she's in your lap wanting snuggled and but scritches and she likes wearing sweaters because she gets chilly. She's precious.

My brother reminded me of my mothers connection to a historical event. I remember hearing this story a long time ago but had forgotten about it.

In 1959 she was living in Mason City Iowa. On the morning of Feb 3rd, she and some friends got in a car and drove to nearby Clear Lake. A few miles out of Mason city, they saw a plane crash that had happened several hours earlier. They didn't think much of it and continued to Clear Lake.

It was only later that day that they learned who the occupants were: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, J.P.Richardson.

If you recall, it was just a 4 seat Beechcraft V35 Bonanza like this one.

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d3C0POVjJy4/TTQD9YiZIzI/AAAAAAAAACg/QOVpp0Znnvc/s1600/Beech_Bonanza_V35.jpg)

It was a pretty common sight at small airports back then and alarmingly common to see them crash too, since the early models had an issue with cracks in the empennage causing the tail surfaces to bind up.

I imagine they probably slowed down and took a brief look but we're talking about a car full of young women with other things to occupy their time.

A little sad at the moment, my neighbor just informed me that she had to put down her elderly Lab, Nelson" Apparently he wasn't eating, and they found a large tumor on his spleen. He was a lovable lug of a dog. We met when I was outside trying to keep my neighbors and their friends from blocking Carla coming home from work in our driveway. This was a few years ago during the Super Bowl Game between Atlanta and New England. And they were having a big party. Well, Nelson ambled over to say hello and he kept me company during my vigil. His family lives in another duplex across from us by about a few hundred feet of woods. He kept me company and I was petting him and talking to him as such. Then he ambled back home after Carla got home and was safely in the garage and I went back in after saying "Good night" to my new buddy. After that he always greeted me like a good friend. Good bye, Nelson, you will be missed as you cross the Rainbow bridge.    :'(

Litter trays are horrible, which is why we're trying to teach our cats to go on the toilet. Two cats are promising but the oldest cat will probably always have to be let outside. Liam has the tendency to pee all over the place like a tom but he hasn't done so on the first stage plastic seat so far. It's on the floor for now, soon it will go on the toilet.

Crush boi and his friend are driving up the mountains to go 4WDing tomorrow. His friend wants to test out his old Landrover he spent way too much money on fixing up (in stark contrast to the Pajero crush boi will be driving that he got for $20 at an impound auction!).
I wanted to tag along but I got the sense he didn't want me coming. He was like, "your car won't make it on these roads" and I was like, ".....but you have a passenger seat". No response. Unless he surprises me with a phone call early in the morning :laugh:

Speaking of auctions there's one on next weekend. I am coveting a legendary AU Falcon and a 2007 model Aurion, meanwhile crush boi is anxious to get the N15 and N16 Pulsars that will be on the block. Conditions of the vehicles are unknown at this point  :autism:

My daughter is a slob. Sorry, but I went by today and basically her whole apartment is a nightmare with two other girls adding to the worst of dreams.

She did not want me to come in and I asked what I could do to help, when one of her roomies showed up and slammed me into the place, asking, "Whatcha need Daddy One."
Apparently all the dads are doing the same thing, checking in too often. So we have numbers. There is Dad One, Two and Three.

I would fear for my footing if I tried to enter her sleep space. I honestly can not see her sleeping in that room. Found out they all snuggle up in front of the television and sleep in the living room on the floor.

They are young. I need a drink.

I should clean my oldest cat's litter tray, but the scoop is in the laundry where my younger cat is imprisoned for bedtime.
Litter trays are horrible, which is why we're trying to teach our cats to go on the toilet. Two cats are promising but the oldest cat will probably always have to be let outside. Liam has the tendency to pee all over the place like a tom but he hasn't done so on the first stage plastic seat so far. It's on the floor for now, soon it will go on the toilet.

For me it's the paranoia that the neighbour can smell it when it's uncleaned. They've complained about it before. One of the many reason I want to move!
I still somehow find pee on the laundry floor from my younger cat. He just doesn't understand how to use the tray half the time. If there's any litter tracked outside the tray onto the floor he'll pee in the litter on the floor. Or he goes in the tray and then scratches the side of the tray or the floor after he's done. Just weird.

Liam, the former tom, will pee in the tray a couple of times when it's freshly changed but after that he'll pee on the laundry floor, in the bath or on Kayleigh's clothes if she's left them on her bedroom floor. The last time I put a bath mat on the bathroom floor, it lasted about a day before Liam peed on it.

Was your younger cat a kitten when you got him?

Kayleigh has moved the cat toilet seat to on the toilet, with a step there so the cats can jump up easier. The cat toilet seat has crystals litter on it but we're going to buy flushable litter tomorrow.

Yes he was around 10 weeks old, but was outdoors with a little colony of siblings and mums/aunts. I got him straight from the house he was abandoned at (tenants there just upped and left all their cats & dogs behind). So I suspect he wasn't properly indoor toilet trained from the beginning.

Using enzyme cleaners helps a little. I won't say a lot but a little. Even if you can't afford the Urine Off stuff (which is like $25 for a small spray bottle!!!), mop the floor with Biozet laundry detergent & a cap full of eucalyptus or tea tree oil in the mop water. And always try to soak up the wee with a towel before mopping. Do not absolutely saturate the floor. I used to do that and my timber skirtings paid the price lol.

Yeah, I've just read about enzyme cleaners. And not to use any cleaner with ammonia in it, heh. Thanks for those tips. What I'm worried about is the grout between the tiles. It seems to go permanently dark where the pee has been.

We have painted timber skirting but not in the bathroom, toilet or laundry. In the previous house, Liam ruined part of the painted wall in the laundry with his pee but that was because the litter tray wasn't enclosed.

*Bing Bong Bang* (Shopping centre intercom)

"Dear shoppers parked in the underground carpark, please move your vehicles to higher ground. The carpark is about to be inundated"

You bet I moved! Then when we left like 30 mins later we saw the police blockading the entrances. There was already a foot of water in there by that point!!

After 74 days the south coast bushfire is out. Reduced to muddy ash after a couple of days of torrential rain.

Hopefully it will start to fill the dams up as well. Water restrictions are a pain.

Our lawn has turned from greenish yellow to dark green already.

On the subject of cats, if we get a cat it would need to be a kitten. Our big soft golden retriever puppy, all 20 kilos of him, would get beat up by an adult cat.

Dear Jehovah's Witnesses:  A very bad timing day to proselytize at our house.  After having our door pounded on and our doorbell banged on by political "surveyors".  You were lucky that Amber answered the door.  She is far more diplomatic than me.

Anyway, this older woman tells Amber that she is here to conduct a "survey"  and Amber asks, "Are you from Bernie Sanders?"  The old lady replies that she is actually from Jehovah's Witness.  Amber says that she is a Catholic and quite happy to be so, several times in fact as the lady keeps rambling on.  Finally the lady gets the point and leaves.  I am staying out of sight and listening in to let Amber deal with her.  As the lady keeps talking I come into view and just let her see me as I watch things unfold.  We have had many past dealings with these religious salespeople and have not interest in being part of a cult sect.  They have an interesting history of origin.  If anybody is interested look up "The Millerites of 1830's/1840's New Hampshire"  and their Doomsday cult origins back then.  The Millerites also spawned the 7th Day Adventists.

Almost finished reading the autobiography of H. Rider Haggard, "king Solomon mines, She', etc.  Quite fascinating in many ways. A lot history of the times in the UK and South Africa, a study of societal thoughts, and how he came up with his story ideas.  Many of which I read during the adventure/fantasy boom back in the 70's.

Going to start stocking up on a few supplies like toilet paper, feminine products, topping up my cleaning supplies and adding a few staples to the pantry over the next several weeks. People are getting so nervous about COVID-19 that the moment they officially call it a pandemic, people will panic and things will become harder to get. I'd rather be stocked up on essentials that I know I'm going to use anyway and not have to deal with the chaos. I learned that the hard way when Toronto dealt with SARS.

The only time I remember hearing about Toronto being hit with the SARS situation was when the media in my area was saying that the Blue Jays/White Sox Game in Roger Centre was postponed or canceled because of the SARS issue back in 2002 (or was it 2003?)... Of course, I didn't care about the White Sox playing (Because I was and still am a die-hard Cubs fan).

I think it would have been an easier beast to tame if the US government didn't take away half of the funding that went towards the scientific research team working on infectious diseases.

It was 2003. I went to the SARS benefit concert that summer with my sister and it was amazing. Sam Roberts, La Chicane, Kathleen Edwards, Blue Rodeo, Flaming Lips, Sass Jordan, Jeff Healey, The Tea Party, Isley Brothers, Justin Timberlake, The Who, Aykroyd and Belushi as The Blues Brothers, Rush, AC/DC,  and The Rolling Stones.

It's a question of how quickly people start to go back to "normal", working and spending money and eating out, not bunkered in their houses with their 2 years' supply of toilet paper. My friend flew back home to Thailand a few days ago, he sent me a photo from inside the plane and it looked about 25% full. Not as empty, though, as the flight I took from Sydney to the US at the height of the SARS scare. That was less than 10% full. The airport we transited at, in Seoul, was totally empty. Once I got onto internal flights in the US the plane was full.

Airlines are running at a huge loss, considering that they are heavily discounting the few tickets they do sell.

Hotels are also discounting heavily and in some parts of the world (usually those where tourism is a big part of the economy) a lot of hotels are running at less than 10% occupancy where they would normally be full.

We have Chinese restaurants shutting down (permanently) at a steady rate here. Where I work is in the middle of where the well-off Chinese tourists do their holiday shopping (at Gucci, Prada, etc.). Those shops won't be making any money. Not that I care, I do all my clothes shopping at places that are a few steps down from Walmart. But still, it's a hit to the economy.

Yep, no bog roll left anywhere in my town. And I'm down to half a roll left lol. Hand sanitiser, never use it anyway. Got half a box of tissues left, but I could get my box I keep in the car out too.
I noticed a lot of non perishables still left on the shelves at Coles (soup, baked beans, 2 minute noodles and the like), which just shows that people aren't buying all the bog roll to really prepare for anything. Most people are just buying it because they heard people are panic buying toilet paper, so then they panic buy to beat the panic buyers.... TPTB keep saying "you only need enough to last you through a 2 week isolation period at home".

I bought two packets of feminine hygiene products but maybe I should buy more tomorrow.
I mean, the toilet paper memes on FB are funny, but if I was on the first day of my period and couldn't obtain any pads I wouldn't be laughing. No pads means not being able to go to work or leave the house. In saying that, I will probably see a bunch of Asian blokes with trolleys full of Libra Ultrathins by the weekend  :thumbdn:

Agreed. The only reason why I compare it to SARS is because Toronto (where I live) was so hard hit and we all felt the effects of the panic.

I flew to Montreal in the middle of the SARS scare and remember the panic.

yes, it was memorable. And Toronto has a massive Asian population and is a travel hub to a lot of places that are being the hardest hit. We're a global community so it's bound to spread.

Need to stock up a few canned goods, paper towels, cat food for this "pandemic" crap...but basically as someone that rarely leaves the house, eats out maybe 4 times a year, and doesn't attend social functions...I've been training for this my whole life.

Already had the tp bunker and even the masks...cloth washable, a few N95 molded masks, and one "gas mask" style for spray painting. :lol1:

Well it's not me going crazy. I only bought my usual 4 pack of double length rolls which lasts me a few weeks :laugh:
I've never in my mind ever considered buying TP in bulk, because I have nowhere to store it all.

Now it's turned into a bit of a class divide because only people who can afford it are greedily buying all the stuff in bulk. Meanwhile the people who can only afford to go shopping after pay day for a week's worth of stuff are unable to find and buy a single item when they really need it.
If that's not a sign of what would happen when a true survivalist scenario happens I dunno what is.

I get what you mean. TP is one of the few things I buy big packages of. I can store over 30 rolls, and it has proved to be handy over the years with all of a sudden over half of the family getting sick in the weekend. (Where I live shops aren't open every day. Not in the village, nor in the nearby towns)

My mom comes from a derelict place, so they always had enough food in the house to last them a few weeks. She only stopped shopping like that a few years ago.

No way I can go shopping like that without a car either. And I do t want to. Don't want to keep track of my storage of fooditems being still within expiration date etc. Life is complicated enough without that.

What's hard to understand, is why people who can be at least somewhat prepared, aren't. That's why the stores get cleared out. A person could spend 40 dollars on peanutbutter and a lifestraw to have basic survival for a month. Sure, some areas of the country are more prone to natural disasters, but preparedness efforts here aren't very different than when we lived in an area with cold winters, where lengthy power outages and impassable roads were just as much a possibility. The only difference seems to be evaluating supplies at a different time of year.

I just finished the book............ :thumbdn:  It is a horrific mish mash of borrowed storylines, grand ideas that failed miserably and just terrible writing.  Many a Star Trek book had darkness at it's heart, but, left one hopeful at the end.  This one made me wish I was on prozac.  No logic, no thread of continuity of plot to hold it together.  Roddenberry must be spinning in his grave.

It reads like a bunch of monkeys were pounding at a keyboard to produce a storyline.  To say I am disgusted with the money that I wasted on it, would be an understatement.  I don't know if the book plot is the same as the TV plotline.  And I have avoided giving it away.  Oh well, time to toss it in the bag for the thrift store and move on.

It was easier to determine time frames when preparing for winter because of natural refrigeration. Now, it depends on the circumstances. Without power,  a month. With power, probably twice that.

When I lived in Jakarta the issue was that tap water wasn't drinkable, so in case of flood or earthquake it was important to have a supply of drinkable water.

When my son was a baby I bought a heap of bottled water and put it in the kitchen cupboards. And told my wife that it was for emergencies only. There was enough for a week at least.

Most households had a water dispenser like the water coolers that offices used to have, with the big 20 litre bottle.

One night, around 10 or 11 pm and all the supermarkets and convenience stores were closed, my wife said to me "we run out of water and I need to make milk for the baby, can I use tapwater?". I was was like O_O, no, that would make an adult very sick and possibly kill a baby. I said "it's okay, just this once you can use the emergency water".

My wife said "I already used all that". So I ended up walking around the dimly-lit streets looking for a late-opening street food stall that had extra water (I found one).

In other words, we are not big on preparation. We could probably last a couple of weeks on random canned food.

Post by: Jack on March 09, 2020, 08:04:51 PM
For the average person the pantry food could last much longer, but there's special dietary needs in the house which are preferably purchased fresh. A power outage and no gas for the generator would be a huge problem. Buying emergency non perishable food is geared with that special need in mind. Otherwise, there's plenty of food in the house at any given time so no need to prep for anything else.

The biggest issue here would be running out of milk. The cub still drinks a gallon and a half per week and that's not including what he gets at daycare. But we have a big box freezer in the basement that we're not using. I could stock it up with milk and turn it on and we'd be fine for at least a month or two with what's in the rest of the house.

A worse issue is that he would be stir crazy in days if we were quarantined. He loves his walks.

The original Star Wars was creative, quirky and had a compelling storyline.  Now it's been homogenized and cutesy and bland, unimaginative.  Disney has not had an original and imaginative creation in years.  It's all corporate now and pandering to the lowest common denominator.  And I rant about that a lot about all aspects of the media.  That's why I spend more time reading, listening to music, or walking and hiking.

Well, the corona virus toilet paper panic has hit walmart.  I got to work yesterday and most of the tp aisle was empty.  As well as the paper towels.  And I was the one put in there to do the stocking as the truck was being unloaded.  Though the funny thing, ALL the store managers on duty, including the head mgr. were running around doing the pallets of tp and paper towel like there was no tomorrow.  My supervisor told me to stick to doing the "smalls"....paper plates, garbage bags, storage bags, plastic utensils, etc.  It just makes me think of the Beavis and Butt Head piece.

That's been going on for over a decade so I don't think it's that. I think it's the current flareup because on the MRI it showed evidence of lesion inflammation that would have been occurring for the past 2-3 months and it's specifically in the place where they look for MS related lesions. It's all rather fascinating yet equally scary. But it is what it is.

I went to get my tyres rotated today but they gave my keys back 15 mins later saying it wasn't necessary and to come back in 5000km time.
Now I don't know whether they were basing that assessment on physical inspection of the tyres and measuring the tread all around.
Or whether they were basing that merely on km travelled since I got them fitted. Because if they think 5000km is just a small fraction of a Michi PS4's life on a tail happy V8 barge they are WRONG.
Wondering if I should go back and make them do the one job they are supposed to do.

This is what I'm thinking too. I also think the province is rolling out it's requirements of citizens in small chunks to prevent more hysteria and potential of looting.

Avoid crowds (CHECK)

Keep at least six feet away from other people (CHECK, although I recommend twelve to fifteen feet.)

Avoid Restaurants or use carry out (CHECK, carry out rocks! I have used it for years.)

Avoid bars (CHECK, no problem there since I no longer imbibe.)

Wash hands every time you touch anything (CHECK Might have missed one, here and there, but NEVER any important ones.)

Stay home if possible (CHECK, I drive my kids to work, but I do not leave the car. HEY! They still have jobs!)

Avoid public transportation (CHECK, always have.)

Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze (CHECK, simple courtesy, if nothing else.)

Avoid shaking hands (CHECK, but we were once too free with such greetings. No more and now I have good reason.)

Stock up on enough food and household items to last for a "while" (CHECK, we could live for six months from just our freezers and pantries full of food.)

Clean often touched surfaces often (CHECK, I do so, my wife does so, my daughter helps some, my son does a little. Pretty clean around here already.)


Kind of seems as if I have been as safe as possible from the evil Coronavirus for all of my life.



We are so lucky that my wife's job (UPS driver) has been deemed as essential by our government, so she keeps on working. My son works at a grocery store, so same deal. My daughter works at a restaurant, but it is very popular and they have a decent take out clientele. She has suffered reduced hours, but still working. I have nothing to do except for Daddy Taxi duties, which I will continue doing, but with as little exposure to the general public as possible.

We will be fine. This whole thing will eventually end. We will all be fine.

The office is trying to gear up for people to work from home, but it relies on the basic principle that people have some chargeable tax work to take home to do, of which I have none of right now. I can catch up on my paper filing, but that's a bit hard to do from the home office.

Not to mention that the whole telecommuting/work from home thing for everyone has yet to be set up by our IT contractor, and they're probably swamped with clients asking for the same setup.

What about printing? Will we be able to access ALL programs remotely? I mean it would suck to have to put aside a day's work because we can't get into MYOB or something stupid like that.

My wife works at UPS and she has to access secure areas in buildings which manufacture "things" that have to be controlled. She has always had to keep a couple of key cards or security items to gain access to her pick-ups.
Last week she had three more added and yesterday six more.

NOW, she has a total of eleven security card thingies she has to "sign out" and return securely upon leaving work. Even her cellphone has to be registered and tied into the truck's GPS and other security functions when she takes a truck out for a route. That part happened just before Christmas rush.

Roche is one of the companies that ship things out from her route.  They make drugs and ship them through UPS. They have not closed, but have boosted campus security this past month to alarming levels.

I may still have a job right now, but if we get stood down without pay I'm refusing and telling the bosses I want a redundancy. That way if I get a new job whilst not working there, I don't have to give them a resignation letter and 4 weeks notice. More so, it's a strategy that would allow me to totally ghost them if they call me to come back :zoinks:

In the law it would be great if there was a maximum amount of unpaid leave you are made to take before it transforms into termination of employment (say, any stand down without pay period of more than several weeks is taken to be a full termination and the employee hence doesn't have to give notice just to get all their unused entitlements paid out). Ordinarily being stood down just means not on the job and not getting paid, but the continuity of the employment relationship is still there, so when you return to work you still have the unused leave balances you had just before you were stood down.

Sure, my leave balances would get reset to nil if I went back to them being redundant, but think of how much fun it would be suing them for my redundancy pay whilst working there :zoinks: And them knowing it's illegal to fire me out of retribution :zoinks:

Nope.  Got it all wrong again.

I was merely leaning more into the science fiction realm. Thinking how cool of a story could be written as we begin tracking the virus's attempts to communicate with us and our feeble struggle to understand what evidence we can identify.
Then as a punchline type scene where we finally understand its first words to us, coincidentally the same legendary words that "GOD" first uttered as GOD began to create the universe.

"I am."

I probably should have used that point in time as a thing the future will remember.



But as we both know, the need to explain a joke defines the joke's failure and degrees of failure could be interpreted if your need persists.

Thank the stars that they're giving me priority access to ocado's . this means that i don't have to  wait in a queue for four hours to find out that i still can't book a new delivery slot. I can find that out almost immediately.

It's getting pretty tedious , mind.

Here, some grocers are giving people 60+ priority shopping time the first 1-1.5 hours the stores are open. They all should do that. Same with prioritizing instacart orders.

They do that here too. Just for in store. If you tried to do it for online orders, the system would get too backed up since everyone is encouraged to shop that way if possible

The in-store shopping is a good idea because they're exposure is lessened. Not sure how it would back up the system, though trying to prioritize online orders does carry a lot of questions. There's not actually any shortages of food; it's only a problem with distribution channels keeping up with demand. Though the way people are over-shopping, it's very insensitive to elderly and disabled living on social security, and people like single parents and families who receive wic and food stamp benefits. It might be helpful to prioritize people like that the first few days of the month when benefits are distributed.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Walkie on March 29, 2020, 06:53:55 AM
It's a toughie, that's for sure. especially here in the Uk, where benefits are NOT distributed at the start of the calender  month, but rather  at four-weekly intervals; and exactly when is individually determined so far as i know.
I don't think that priority for folk on benefits as such exists. It's just priority for "vulnerable"" people. There's a big overlap between those two groups ofc, but also a lot of folk whose dependancy on benefits is not linked with any particular vulnerabilty, eg low-paid workers claiming  top-up benefits. But I don't think any of those people will find themselves able to wait for a food delivery, They're generally living hand-to-mouth and will  need to get straight out to the shops as soon as the money rolls into the bank.

 During the past few weeks, i've seen things move from a position where next daydeliveries were commomly available, to fully booked up for the next three weeks. Ocado have got the wait-time down to one week, mostly (so far as I can see)  by means of cancelling all orders that fall ouside that timespan (including two of mine) and making people hover over their computers on the off-chance that a new slot has now  been freed up , together with  the smaller off-chance that they're amongst the lucky few who spotted it first.

That said, hats off to Ocado. They've done a remarkable job of coping with ten times as many customers as usual, far as I can see . I just much preferred having to  book my deliveries two to three weeks in advance to their present ploy, which introduces way too much uncertainty.

BTW, in case people think i'm being a bit greedy, having an order every week, i maybe should point out that i 'm eating more and more fresh produce (given that I can't eat frozen veg- they spray it with corn-based citric acid. much the same applies to tinned goods, ofc, but at least they list the citic acid etc on the can, so you don't need quite such encyclopaedic knowlege of manufacturing processes there ) and no way can you order all your lettuce for a month at one go  :zombiefuck:
Also, given my increasingly drastic dietary limitations, I generally  have to return substitutions. I mean, if it isn't the exact item specified, i probably can't eat it, but can't expect the store to understand and take account of that.  It would be really hard to have to wait a whole month to try again to get something that's  effectively 'basic"' to my diet. So, even at the best of times.  I tend to plan my grocery ordering much like a military campaign  :LOL:
A;so, recent problem arising is that you're often limited to no more than  three of many such itms. Couldn't possibly make three litres of additive-free organic Almond milk last me a month. That's now a basic.

I doubt anyone thinks you're being greedy, but I can understand that concern. I haven't really bought any more food than usual, but I don't feel like I need to because we always keep a lot of food in the house anyway. What has changed about my shopping is the frequency. I used to only grocery shop twice per month. Since this all started I shop more often, because I don't want to look like a big greedy gut loading up a full cart.  :dunno:

You would think, living in Canada that I would be better prepared for such things but I basically wing it when it feels like the weather is about to turn.

It has been a rollercoaster to say the least. Her second blood panel wasn't good and they thought she was dealing with tumours and she might have to be put down today, but although her spleen was enlarged, no mass.

Working at walmart makes me believe that people in general are fucking stupid.  Especially in the times we live now.  For example, last weekend I was assigned to work in HBA....health and beauty area.  I was working in the body washes/hand soap and sanitizer aisle.  Several people came thru and were opening many bottles of body wash and sniffing them close to or touching their noses....then closing them and putting the bottles back on the shelves!   This went on for 10-20 minutes........ :zombiefuck:
As a former nurse of 20 years and with the paranoid climate of our present era.......WTF.   I seriously wanted to go up to these people and tell them to stop and GTF out.   I would have been fired in a heart beat, but, if it happens again when I am there...I may not restrain myself any longer.  This is stupid, seriously stupid.....see what you want, buy it and leave.  It makes me glad that we buy bar soaps and leave the store.   >:(

I feel there is a need for a new kitchen appliance. Or maybe keep a larger one in the garage.

I can imagine a smallish, say counter top microwave sized device, that is nothing more than a UV generator where anything you want to bring into your house can spend a minute or two being bombarded by high intensity ultraviolet rays from all sides to eliminate most biological contaminants, including virus from the outside of containers.

Someone could get very rich inventing this kind of "safety" equipment and making it available to all at a reasonable cost.

Having a moment of thought for my daughters ex-sociopathological liar boyfriend.....and smiling.  He did show up to her workplace at Staples recently and bought printer paper.  So he's up to her cash register and asks "Don't you have anything to say to me."  She feels nervous and awkward, but held herself together and replied, "All that could be said has been said.  I have a new boyfriend and he treats me well."  And that was it.  Though she did ask and receive an escort to her car at the end of her shift.   8)

As stir crazy as I and the rest of us feel right now.  It must be really crushing for him, his hunting grounds at the YMCA is closed for now, it's been raw and rainy for 2 straight days.  He has no car, no job, nothing..........I feel better already and so does Amber.   :2thumbsup:

Why does a weeble bed suit a prone weeble? Seems odd.

I was wondering about that, too. :scratchhead: Perhaps CBC can explain it when she logs in next. :apondering:
Maybe the bed hangs from the wall like a borg docking station. :laugh:

It's only a matter of time before someone knows someone, or is related to someone who tests positive. Hoping people recover though.

When testing becomes widely available, it will be multiple people.
Here they only test if you end up in hospital. They hope to change that soon, because Roche gave the recipe needed for testing fluid. So, more reliable testing will be an option.

Someone I know seems to be perking up now, after a few very tough weeks. Probably covid-19.

Rules are strict here. When you cough no GP/physician will visit, nor are you allowed to go there. You can call special units that visit potential covid-19 patients.

The curve does seem to flatten. I hope people keep acting sanely, despite the sunny inviting weather. Flattening the curve isn't enough. A flat curve just means no acceleration in the growth of infections. We needs curve spiralling downward, before we can go lenient on the restrictions.

It gets better. The anti-milaria drug that Trump keeps pushing (hydroxychloroquine) as being the cure for COVID, he has a financial stake in it. From the article: "“If hydroxychloroquine becomes an accepted treatment, several pharmaceutical companies stand to profit, including shareholders and senior executives with connections to the president. Mr. Trump himself has a small personal financial interest in Sanofi, the French drugmaker that makes Plaquenil, the brand-name version of hydroxychloroquine.”

Yes, infact in London in the UK is pretty much the same. There has been a spike in death counts there too. Maybe the same in many other cities. The advice that the UK government suggests that we could easily deal with the coronavirus as many would have mild symptoms unless it becomes critical, hence why I suggest there is so much more people that have it but is unreported.

Highest death count, not rate. It's like those saying the US is testing more than everyone else. While it's true the US has administered the highest count of tests; the US ranks seventh in testing per populace. Words have meaning.

I meant deaths in New York City. A lot of deaths haven't yet been tested because they didn't die in the hospital. I don't really expect the number of infected to be anywhere accurate, unless it were possible to test everyone.  :dunno:

 :indeed:

the thought that the death rate was gonna be under-reported over here struck me immediately I tried to get advice from 111 (being amongst the earliest suspected covid-19 cases in the UK). i was shunted onto an automated system which advised me self-isolate for a week, and to call back if symptoms got worse, or if they  failed to get better by then. They didn't even want to know who i was or where i lived, or anything whatsoever about me, in fact.  bet they didn;t even keep count of thenumber of  callers. 

It's not a nice thought at all, but i'm sure there must be  untold numbers who took a sudden turn for the worse during self-isolation and whose bodies remain, not only untested but also  undiscoverd.

Looking online, at that time, i found that my city had three conformed cases and laughed at the meaningessness of that info. We all knew that there were not enough testing kits to test even the NHS front line workers , so big sursprise there were any recorded  cases at all

Someone at the grocery store where my son works tested positive for Covid19, yesterday.  :bigcry:

The company is setting up a drive through testing station in the parking lot for all the employees.

Walls are closing in.
 :hide:

Fingers crossed.

The PR and I took a drive late this afternoon.  We drove in the French Quarter.  It was fairly deserted. a few cars, some people walking.  I reaized that I was seeing history. For the first time in my life there were no bars open on Bourbon Street.   I knew they'd been closed, but to see it was sobering (pardon the pun).  I was able to drive slowly enough to find Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop.
It's like seeing the footage of Times Square in NY and desolate it is. It's sad.

Yeah. Thanks, everyone.

The test will take a few more days. They are ramping up the degree or intensity of the testing protocol used here. Not only do they give you a nasal swab for quick detection of an active infection, they pull a tiny vial of blood to look for a specific anti-body, evident after you have been exposed. All that on top of being interviewed for a half hour to attempt to track your recent comings and goings by other attendants while waiting in line in your car.
:yikes:

They only have so many of these mobile "converted blood donation station buses" to pull from and everybody wants one today.

On a more pleasant note:

A "local" farmer has a huge long field of wrapped hay bales in his land. To be artsy, he gathered them all along his fence line about a quarter mile apart and placed signs on them like the old Route 66 Burma shave hi-way ads.
His hay bales read as you drive by, "If it weren't for farmers, you would be hungry, naked and sober."

I would love to post a pic, but it would have to be a video. It's just too spread out.  Still, a fun thing to see. Sobering message.
Very coooool!

What is this place about? Why were you looking for it? Good to see you again, btw. :)

It's one of the earliest buildings in the Quarter.  Dates from the Spanish rule in between 1720 - 1730.  It was either owned by Jean Lafitte, the privateer, rapscallion and one of the heroes of the Battle of New Orleans - 1814), or his brother who was a blacksmith.  There's an open area beside the main building with a building in the back that could have been a smithy.  Yep, I was looking for it, but always forgot to look up the address when we drive through the French Quarter on holidays.  It is also (supposedly) one of the first gay bars in the US.  There's a fashion extravaganza contest on the corner on Mardi Gras.

I'm not good at posting pictures, but their website has some pictures (of course).  It reminds me of the building style of medieval times.  And the interior seems to be as dark as any medieval pub.

Wondering if I should buy dinner from the pub over the fence (their bistro is doing takeaway). They've changed the setup though. Before they'd make you order at the bottle shop and then wait in your car, but now you have to order inside and take a buzzer.
What is the wireless range of these buzzer things though? Can I take it and wait at home while my meal is getting cooked? :orly:

I guess that means she would have to keep an eye on her symptoms within this week and I guess you should too.
Over in the UK, I know if the person in the household has been tested positive, everyone in the house would need to isolate too within 14 days. I don't know if this rule applies over where you are?

They think it started off as being targeted but then became random after that. It's horrific.

I don't know if you mean me, Ozy, cause

so all i actually know is that you haven't addressed me directly in awhile (and I don't know if you've adressed me indirectly, now or ever)  And that i , personally would rather not dwell  on past altercations or do anything to set them in concrete. I prefer to recall that we were friends for a good few years way back when, and to otherwise dwell on your many positive qualities.

But anyway ( with that caveat that i've  no idea if you're referring to me or someone else)  I can surely only answer for myself, so here goes

I'll confess i'm a little bit nervous of plussing you, fearing that you might take it the wrong way. But every now and then I force myself past that nervousness, cos I think it's foolish and counterproductive; and that to avoid plussing a very good post, just because the poster had some negative things to say about me some years ago,  would be really mean and petty on my part.  And I'm just not like that. I've  always been apt to plus the post, not the poster, and to try not to let questions of friendship or enmity cloud my judgement. And, so far as I can see, most of us, on this board,  are just  the same in that respect. (Indeed , I recall that very question being discussed on a thread here, awhile back)

I also think that this board is way too small for people to go round pointedly ignoring each other; that would bound to be noticeable, might create a bit of an atmoshere, and could even  ruin some good discussuions.  So I don't want to do that. I'd rather let bygones be bygones and hope that the other guy is of the same mind.

You have made some  really excellent posts here and there, and you deserve credit for those. I'm not one for purposely withholding that credit as if i bear a grudge against you.  I don't bear a grudge; so to act like I do would be fricking absurd

I don't think that any of that constitutes "mindgames".  It's not even personal.  That's just the way I think.


But anyway, after reading your post , i suppose  that it's OK for me to carry on plussing you, every  now and again.   There are billions of worse things than my being thought of as   ""amusing and stupid". by yourself. So no harm done. Right?

I just feel that an explanation was called for.  Like I said, i don't know if you were talking about me, or somebosdy else, or maybe a whole bunch of folk. But wouldn't be at all susprised if others had a similar attitude to mine, so my answer might be somewhat enlightening  in any case.

Anyway, this is all  meant sincerely,  and not as any kind of wind-up.  I'm just  telling it like it is, from my own POV, FWTW.

Peace,

-Walkie


PS, I would very much appreciate you making it crystal clear if and when you mean me. There have been a few times when I've wondered if your posts referred to me , but I'm endeavoring not to let myself get paranoid about that kind of thng, and to just accept that there's no way of knowing, and that- heigh ho!- it probably doesn't matter a hill of beans either way.

I know, right? I've been used to travelling at least once a month, often twice or more, and now I'm pretty sure my Prague trip in February was the last one for maybe years.
We were talking about going to Jamaica in the new year and that won't be happening. I really wanted to plan another trip to Costa Rica at some point too but it's just not anywhere on the radar anymore.

I normally donate my read magazines to the local library.  But, they are shut down for now and the pile is building, science news, smithsonian, national geographic, prevention, consumer reports, etc.  Looks like the recycle bin for a few.

Dating was always a hard thing for me, especially initiating.   I lucked out with Carla when I first met her back at the hospital that we both worked at.  She was approachable and open to a weirdo like me.  29 years later, it still gobsmacks me.

Dude, you made it clear a long time ago you don't want me to talk to you, so I don't engage you in conversation.

don't worry, Gopher.  i'm pretty sure that it's just  not possiblefor some of us to post on the same board as Ozy without accidentally incurring his wrath on occasion.   My own latest trangression was to laugh at one of his jokes. TBH, I did notice it was Ozy's post that had tickled me,  at  the very last second, but then decided to go ahead anyway, evil bitch that i am. 'what if i hadn't happened to notice that grave mistake of mine ? then  his response, about a week  later (time enough for me to almost completely forget about it) on a different thread entirely would have remained  completely mystifying to me , wouldn't it?

Maybe we need some  sort of MeToo movement for victims of left-of-field personal atttacks? just for moral support, cos i'm a bit concerned that people might get driven off the board by this kind of rubbish . seeing as it sometimes actually hurts (or maybe i'm just an oversentive weirdo?) nevermind how daft it is.

Anyway, it seems that  we spazzes, in general,  are especially prone to reacting like a terrier on steroids to imagined slights. so i'm surely not proposing responding in kind, or else it's bye bye board, isn't it? i just think that a bit of solidarity wouldn't go amiss, so :hug:  and would like to say that I for one,  totally believe that no harm was intended, FWIW.

It's amazing how regressives seem to think all progressives share the same opinions on certain fringe issues. As if those fringe issues define what progressivism about. Perhaps because the mainstream issues that progressives care about are more difficult to attack?

No, lesbians can shag whoever the fuck they want to. And can choose not to shag whoever the fuck they choose not to.

I probably disagree with a lot of progressives on dunnies and athletics for transgender folks. But agree with most progressives on more mainstream issues like health care, the labour movement, gun control, and so on.

Too many zoom meetings in my life already.

The noises are incredible. Yes, everyone can hear the gross noises you make into your speaker. Yes, you probably should go on mute when you go to the toilet. The manager at the client end even said "if you are going to, ah, wash the dishes or something, could you go on mute?". We had about a dozen people on the call.

I was about to share my screen yesterday and my boss was sending messages to a team chat and they were popping up on my screen. Funny stuff like "what the fuck was that guy saying, was that fucking English or what?" about the offshore testing manager who was speaking gobbledygook. So I kind of said "aaaaaah, I'm just looking for the button, I'm about to share my screen everyone, just a tick" to give him a chance to stop sending them.

Well, i dunno. i only know that i've managed to chat simultaneously with aspie mates in the USA and oz, on several occasions in the past, and that seemed pretty simple at the time (giventhat  i was willing and able to stay up pretty late) .   But trying to reconcile people who wont meet anywhere but London with folk who;ll go anywhere except London; folk who can't meet up at weekends with folk who can't meetup on weekdays; folk who won't be joining in if So-and-so is coming, with So-and-so (who changes their mind at the 11th hour); folk who need the place to accessible by public transport with folk who won't contemplate anywhere except a field in the middle of Otmoor, because that's equitably  equidistant from all interested parties, and everywhere else would give somebody else an unfair advantage... :hair:

well, ok, ok, that bit about the field in the middle of Otmoor was a slight exaggeration for humerous effect, but otherwise that's a pretty accurate resume of the contents of 30-40 ultimate;y pointless PMs, during the course of which someone from another continent demanded to know what all this secretive PM-ing was all about, and accused me of all sorts of underhand plotting  :LOL:

In short, i reckon that little puzzle should be relatively easy. But, for my own part,  I'm a teeny bit tired of such puzzles  :green: I 'd sooner somebody else figure it out this time Now that's fair. 

For my own part , I'm normally awake between midday and 2-3 am GMT,  at present, but will try to stretch to other times if  that's not quite a broad enough slot for others. Also can be available almost every day, except for the day that gets picked (going by Sod's Law) , Would prefer to avoid Tuesday evenings, if possible, and  Thursday evenings  can be  very dodgy for me (high chance of prior commitments) .

In theory, in the UK time, 12pm might make sense and possibly another one at 4pm?
Although it be very early in Toronto and it might be very late in Australia.
Also accommodating everyones lifestyle is is another thing to think of I suppose?

This might have a clearer picture of what time zones we are at and a suitable time to start a zoom meeting.

A choice between going back to work in a big open plan air conditioned office building and risking my health and even more Mel's, or not being paid, is possibly on the cards soon since the govt hasn't seen fit to include any but the most vulnerable in recommending further shielding. So fuck the millions of us living with chronic conditions now, we can just be collateral damage. If I get it in the office it could land both of us in hospital or worse.  :poo:

I have just been informed that luckily for me I will not be expected to return to work for the foreseeable and that my sick pay entitlement will be backdated to March, since I was told to stay off for shielding - at least my organisation accepts more of a duty of care to its people than the government seem to have. So I might be stuck inside mostly avoiding people but at least I will continue to be paid and I can relax a bit knowing I won't have to put us at risk.

There's been talk of partial distance learning and then kids coming to class in shifts over a certain period time so not everyone is there at the same time, just smaller groups, with smaller classes. We'll know by the end of next month.

True. But I'm naturally a planner. Every day has a list of things I need to get done and on Sundays I like to do the things I don't normally do for myself. Stitching, reading, watch a documentary I know no one else here will like or watch with me etc. But I always end up sleeping, reading a little bit and screwing around online. Feels like a waste of a day but maybe I need to adjust to what feels like lack of productivity and just accept that doing less for a day is good for me.  :dunno: I also clearly overthink everything  :facepalm2:

Thinking that my local "friend" will never see a penny of the SBA loan he has applied for to keep his pizza joint up and running.

His application was sent back with instructions to correct the typing errors. His last name was highlighted.
Not really Doxxing  here, but his name is Mickinsy, NOT McKenzy.

He is not Scott! Sure he wears his share and then some of plaid at inappropriate times and you often have to read some stupid shit written on his knee high socks, but he is Irish. He spells his name like a fucking mick.

Not sure how to help him with this crap. My dad got an SBA loan once back in the eighties, but it took a while. This nonsense seems ridiculous.

The man just wants to make a living making pizza and I try to support his efforts as often as I can.

A mess indeed.

As far as laughing about his heritage, I have both Scotch and Irish blood in me. One side of grandmother is Moran and the other is Scot. Notice one "T" and just imagine how fucking high a person's nose would have to be hefted in order to make sure that everyone knew that your name was spelled with  One "T." 

My grandmother would laugh at such a notion, but then I would add that she just did what she was making fun of, by telling me all about it all.

Post by: Walkie on May 25, 2020, 08:52:34 PM
Tough luck on your friend, but i can see why they would take it for a typo. I was curious about that name , because I've  never heard of an Irish surname beginning "Mick ". And so i googled the name, exactly as spelled by yourself, and best i could find  was a handful of instances of it being used as a forename. All apparent instances of Mickinsy as a surname turned out (upon clicking the link) to actually  be mis-spellings of McKenzy (for the first few pages , at least, at which point i got thoroughly bored).   Also checked  McKenzy (and variants)and found that it was  invariably spelled Mac or Mc  in Ireland , same as  in Scotland.  Also stumbled across the info. that this surname origininated exclusively in Scotland.  Ofc, that's by no means true of all Gaelic names beginning Mac, but it's true of this one. So if it really is a variant of McKenzy, then  your mate really does have Scottish ancestry if you go back far enough. The name is common enough in Ireland, but all Irish McKenzy families came rom Scotland originally. ( Also wondered, btw,  if it might possibly be a new variant on McInnes/McGuinness? )

I'm now wondering if you mis-spelled your mate's name on this board?  I'm also  (more to the point) wondering if  there's a  typo or mis-spelling in pre-existing official records for this guy, with the result that they're just not finding an expected  match? Might be worth checking.  According to (American) statistics that I found, that name  (as you wrote it)  is somewhere between extremely rare and unknown (less than 5 instances  out of > 6,000, 000  records )

Anyway, my understanding is that Irish are called "Micks" because Michael is a really common Irish forename , though we more often  call them "Paddies" here in the UK  (cos Patrick /Padraic is an even more common Irish  forename)  I checked this on Urban Dictionary, and it had , in its most popular definition :  "Some beliefs are that "mick" comes from the common "Mc" in many Irish names". But this was from an American perspective.  Nobody in Britain  would pronounce "Mc 'as "mick" ; We invariably shorten all such  Gaelic names to "Mack". Intersting to think that Americanisation might be producing  a whole new variant.  "Mick..."is certainly not the  Irish spelling of any such  name, but might possibly be an emerging  Irish- American spelling?

 :apondering: Yeah, i got over-involved in researching this one,  spazz that i am  :laugh:

Good luck to your friend.

Good luck to your friend.

At the time when Irish emigration was reaching a peak, not all the folk exiting boats had documentation and that type of documentation had to be created on the spot.
The ones who sat for hours and years doing that grueling work were not always the most highly educated. Often when trying to establish identity of undocumented people there was a language barrier in addition to a culture barrier. Phonetic spellings of the names of people who could not even read in many cases often lead to spelling errors.

I was trying to be funny and play on the notion that if you want to behave like a mick, someone is going to call you on it.
Obviously my sense of humor does not cross paths often with your sense of humour.

Serious situation, but I am both concerned and trying to be a little light as well.

Still pondering Amber's out of the blue question from last night.  Basically, she asked me what we would do if she was gay.  I mean really out of nowhere.  I just told her, we would do nothing different if that was who she was.  Carla was home and said the same thing.  We're more about the character of the person, not the orientation.  I guess maybe she has seen a lot of internet items about teens and young adults coming out to their parents and being kicked out of the house because they were gay.  Oh well, 28 years old and she still surprises us.   :apondering:

The asshole just got pissed and started blasting pepper spray at everyone behind the counter. There were other people waiting to pick up and pay properly, but this asshole shut it all down.

This is my son. His best sleeping hours are 3-11am. Those were the hours he kept for work. He tried to keep "regular people hours" as he calls it but he was miserable. So he's gone back to his work hours even though we have no idea when it will be safe enough for his business to re-open.

But those are not my genes. I'm a in bed by 8pm, lights out by 11pm and up before 7am type person.

In Indiana where we live, using pepper spray is considered to be an assault and you should have a good reason for employing such a weapon for your own self defense.
Randomly spraying someone because you got pissed off is a crime.

Do not know what car you have, but the main service ever required of brake fluid on any car is to keep the fluid reservoir full. Anything more than that requires disassembly and flushing of the entire fluid system and replacement with new fluid. On a street driven car that is usually done when major brake service is already required, but not always since brake fluid lasts for years.

As far as most parking brakes, they are mechanical and again, rarely need adjustment. In case they do, it is most often as simple as taking slack out of a steel cable that connects the lever inside the car to the rear brake actuating mechanism. Connection points are adjustable.
Some cars are different, but that is the gist.

Fixing your own car is very cool and hawt.

I haven't been able to think about my own life or my own circumstances for some time, before I even get the chance to, always end up thinking about my friend before myself.

At the same time, I love taking care of her.

Hurricane season starts in three days, so I'm thinking about hoarding stuff.  :zoinks:
hope you're not too late for the "dunny paper" :laugh:

Hopefully, that idiocy is over for now.
I went into the store where my son works at 7AM when they opened and the disposable paper goods aisle was fully stocked. Even a large variety of TP and PT on the shelves. Only aisle in rough shape was the alcohol, hand sanitizers etc. Even the "disinfectant aisle"  was in good shape. Hope the same for everyone.

I was on a mission for a bag of potatoes. I also bought some spray Lysol.

Yes, I wore a mask in public.

A glimpse at the news lifted my spirits for a change.
I have to tip my hat to the county sheriff in Flint, MI, who laid down his baton, took off his helmet and bullet proof vest, crossed his own police line and joined the protesters as a law enforcement officer. Others followed.
No violence, no arrests, no vandalism; just a huge crowd of people coming together for a common cause, partly lead by a fairly wise man.

CORRECTION TO ABOVE:
After seeing the actual video, that sheriff was still wearing his bulletproof vest and most of his police gear. Still very balzy.

Obviously, the ones closely watching his mindspace are standing ready to apply checks and balances.

As with any executive officer, he has a lot of "tools" in his toolbox. The question boils down to something along the lines of, with all the things he could use to try to improve order, why is a large hammer the first thing he grabs out of his toolbox?

Many applauding some of his his results have also questioned his methods.
Trust me, there a great number of Constitution protecting folk waiting and watching from BOTH sides of our national political body in case any measures taken are left in place too long.

He is just a sitting president. He is not King.

Yeah, people like that seem to thrive further by stirring up shit.

I am calling it!!
We have enough shit to deal with right now. We should never forget about George Floyd and so many others whose stories seem to end with a funeral.
We have to release the reins on a wildly bucking, vibrant economy, damn the torpedoes! We have to learn new ways to approach our ideals, but never lose sight of the real goals of human equality and freedom, not only in spirit, mind and body, but opportunity and justice as well.
Stop skirting the subject and face the racism that we all know we see every day. Can't fix it, but we can certainly blast it out of prominence when it is state sponsored or just ignored due to deep-rooted, disgraceful apathy.

Damn hell of a lot of work to do, we have. Almost like when you put off doing laundry for too long. We have a whole fucking world full of dirty laundry, beginning to smell and only we, each of us, can do anything to help. It is NOT going to be our so called "leaders" who are going to do all this work. They are beside themselves with concerns which do not affect the actual reason for so many assembling in the first place.

We can not let those many funerals be the end of their stories.

A different kind of protest happened this morning.
Somehow, an organized "traveling" protest happened, timed to coincide with the lifting of the Indianapolis citywide curfew. At about two minutes after 6AM I heard car horns honking.
I was playing local news and had just heard about this new, legal protest tactic. A large number of people with "Black Lives Matter" signs on their cars, both blacks and whites BTW, started their cars and began rolling down the streets honking horns brandishing signs.
Seems like more people than ever have also begun to walk in the center of downtown.

I have to applaud those who get that the message was easily lost to needless violence at the beginning of this upset.

You already know at least 2 out of those 10 are going to fuck it up.

Well I guess at least they're trying something...they basically moved everything to green here and all the dogs are off their chains running around like they've never been allowed out before.

MIL spent over 2 hrs just in the thrift shop today alone, and I think she ditched the mask...her best friend already did...2 weeks ago.

Neighbor has been running everywhere buying plants and yard ornaments.

Just trying to avoid all their crazy asses.

Typo - I mean I CAN see this going to wrong. They just started the 10 person bubble thing today and monkeygirl is already getting texts to hang out at friend's houses and I had to say no. I think she gets it because she's good about that kind of stuff but she's still 15 and it sucks.

We keep chocolate around.
My wife, precious as she is still NEEDS her chocolate, despite being post menopausal. 
My daughter who "technically" has her own place with room mates, spends most of her off time with her mom or me. Kind of like junkies around here at times.
One of my efforts to remain in good standing with two women includes keeping a supply of chocolate on hand.
Yep, mostly Hershey's, but I do have a small supply of the good stuff (several kinds of imported fancy Euro style brands) which I should honestly replenish soon.

Near there is a "Mediterranean" market run by some fabulous folk from Turkey which just re-opened last Friday. I plan to stop by. Mostly dry goods, but plenty of decadence as well.
Their selection of chocolates imported from that area is amazing.

One of my favorites is a stuffed chocolate bar, stuffed with cherry, raspberry, olive, orange, etc. I will eventually try them all.

I know. We've been without any running water since 2am on Tuesday morning. They thought maybe the switch was bad but they replaced it and still no action. Then they went to pull the pump up the well pipe and something is blocking it. So they had to go to another job first, find the key they need to unlock the block in the pipe to pull up the pump and we'll find out if it's the pump that has gone or if the well needs to be fracked or dug deeper. Since the inexpensive fix of a faulty switch is no longer an option, I'm hoping it's just the pump that needs to be replaced because that's a couple grand as it is but still less than having to dig in the well, have it rebuilt, or fracked. Sigh.

Many years ago I spotted this old abandoned rock built school house in the woodsy back country area. It looked to be in decent, restorable condition after many years of neglect, but it would need EVERYTHING.
It was an old two room school (big kids on one side, little tykes on the other) with an entry way for coats and muddy boots that was larger than the house we lived in at the time. Two huge rooms with original cast iron wood burning stoves from the WWI era, one large full width entry way and an exit way, smaller than the front in depth but still easily a bedroom's depth.
There were multiple basketball goals on every possible vertical surface. "Damn, a lot of balls bounced in here!"  came to mind.
It would have taken a lot of work and money to make it modern and livable to my comfort level.

Who ever bought the property (probably a bargain at a state auction) tore the school house down and built a fancy new home.

I'm confused when my friend is crying and having anxiety attacks.

it's not as different as my mood swings.... but it's like she's just crying on cue.

That is a thing some people do... can't say whether your friend is one of them.

Amber is such a compassionate person.  Last night, as I came in thru the door, a fire fly flew in with me.  Amber greeted me with my fathers day gift (a B&N gift card).  The fire fly fell to the carpet and was blinking on and off.  Amber crouched down and very carefully picked it up and released it outside.   8)

What's going on with this cat litter?? Have I found a holy grail litter?? :GA:

At first I was judgemental, because it was kinda dusty and it smelt like old mouldy lucerne and the offal/non floral parts of lavender (it claims to be lavender scented but not really).

Eight days later and it's so easy to scoop, still smells exactly as it did straight out of the bag, no giant ass clay clumps to chisel off the bottom of the tray either.

It's either a miracle litter or my cats haven't peed in their trays all week :P

So did you buy the litter off Amazon?

We've given up on trying to teach the cats to go on our toilet. Only one of the cats (Liam) seemed up to the challenge but we wanted all three to use it. Dang.

I think the problem is solved as far as solving Liam's spraying all over the front of the tray and the floor as well. We bought a top loader tray. It's just like a box with a hole in the top for the cats to get in and out. So Liam can spray all he likes.

I'm just a weak pathetic 30-year-old autistic male who has trust issues... I haven't tried pursuing anyone in a long time because I cannot tell if they like me the same way, or if it's going to be "I only like you as a friend" line

Don't worry I'm not an incel, I'm disgusted by those fucking freaks as it is... they don't know how to treat women, nor do they know how to treat them as individuals, and not as objects... pieces of meat, pieces of "Oh I must have!"

Really I only bought that one because it was 8pm and my mum was coming over the next night. I had nothing else to buy. I tried all the other brands (the Max's one etc. and I HATE crystal litter, hate the paper pellets). It just so happened that the litter I got was a short lived pleasant surprise. Definitely can't afford to go through one bag of the stuff a week though.

Now I'm back to the Trouble & Trix brand litter with the baking soda in it. 15L bag for $30.

The litter pickiness started when my bloody neighbour started complaining to strata about my litter smelling. So I have to be ultra careful to make sure the litter isn't on the nose at all times ::)
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: renaeden on July 06, 2020, 06:01:21 AM
It's hard though, because cats can be really stinky.

We have flushable litter at the moment because of our failed experiment to get the cats to go on the toilet. It's not bad in the litter tray.

Like you, I can't stand the crystal litter. It's not natural if you know what I mean and I'm sure the cats have a wtf moment when they use it.

Seems I miss all the fun. A girl at work put a HR complaint in because another coworker said the R word when talking about her toddler with palsy (or something, he had a stroke in utero). "Any idea from the Dr's whether he'll have the R word or not?" was all that was innocently but ignorantly asked amidst a deep conversation about his condition at the work party last week. It was just an old fuddy duddy using the incorrect word, no offense was meant.
But the complaint read; "They called my son retarded!!"

Anyway the fallout will be interesting because this girl has been causing drama with lots of people for a long while.

Finally met Ambers new boyfriend.  Nice guy, she and him are both gamers of a sort, an animation and Lovecraft Geek like myself.  He has some health problems, Lyme disease in the past(?), IBS and such.  He understood completely that I did not want to shake hands ATM, but instead gave a Yoga bow.  He has a job and his own car!!!!!   And didn't give off an aura of arrogant slime like "he who will not be named."   He's an unabashed geek, like Amber and they get along well.   8)

Wondering what a periodic table of Time elements might look like.
You know how at times Time itself seems to drag at barely a snail's pace and at times, Time flies? Then you get De Ja Voodoo Time?  Time elements must combine in every conceivable manner. I also wonder if some Time molecules we pass through could become ionic and not work the same on things passing through it at the Time.
 :asthing:

I think today I am passing/pissing through ionic Time. It just does not feel right.

I heard the stupidest thing last night on the news. One of those (break in the new girl, pay your dues, dirty jobs) stop and ask the regular people on the street what they think (time fillers) on the news.

This woman being interviewed said she knows how to use sunblock and that you have to put more on every thirty minutes in the sun, but no one is telling us how long we are protected from the Covid-19 when we use the sanitizers. How often do you have to re-apply your hand sanitizer to remain safe from the virus?
 :zombiefuck:

*groan* . think I heard that Morris Dancer  joke before. Wasn't from you was it,  Ren?

There don't seem to be many good Morris dancer jokes around. i kinda like this one:

Quote
A class of children from a school for the blind, are by the sea side playing with a football with a bell on it, so they can hear where it is. The teacher pops off for a quiet pint. Shortly someone comes running in shouting "quick, the kids are kicking hell out of the Morris dancer!".
:laugh:

Evidently the pool table/snooker table is really old. I think the American version is snappier.  but :plus: for the info  :)

[EDIT: P.S. we have pool  here, too, BTW.  It's a whole lot easier to fit a little  pool table into a crowded bar, and to fit it up so you can't get your balls until you push some coins in the slot.  Conversely, you usually have to join a club to play snooker. I think probably more Brits have played pool that snooker for that reason. Pool is something you can play more casually. )

There is no such thing as a toy arrow.

Don't bother saying Nerf. Those are not arrows, they are toys.
Thought came around due to some grim news today about an accident that happened last Sunday. One of my neighbors has a nephew that was hit in the eye by a crooked stick that became an arrow propelled by the toy bow he and his eight year old brother had tied together a few days before.
Eight year old was just playing with the toy bow and arrow set they had crafted.

The arrow punctured the older kid's (left) eye socket right at the outer edge by the bone. Not very deep, but he is now blind in that eye.

There might be hope for some sight in the future because the stick did not penetrate the cornea. No way to know yet if the wound caused interference with the structure of the nerves. The injury allowed some of the vitreous humor to spill out and his eye kind of collapsed. The hope is that, over time the fluid will be replaced and some sight could possibly return.

Sad day for that family.

Sometimes, being a good neighbor includes standing in the sun for an hour while receiving a week long horror story condensed into a one hour time frame. I coulld barely stand to listen, but he really needed to upload this to somewhere.

This country is a joke, the leader in the oval office a complete dunce... the use of essential workers is one thing, yet the belittling of them is another... (I got huffy at one of my co-workers yesterday all because it looked from my point of view that they were blocking me from wanting to go to the actual line instead of self-checkout to pay for my groceries)... I usually like going to the register lines because I prefer to talk to some new co-workers or work friends while I am getting my stuff put away, and paid for.

The way Co-worker "A" tried blocking me out saying "Register Closed go to Self-checkout" was pathetic to me... I get why people make fun of Walmart for having only 2 registers open, and why the rest of the registers tend to be "SOL" in operations... but please, the overlords in the Region office, even the HQ in Arkansas.... please get funding to repair the systems a bit better, to make sure Maintenance has their needed supplies... it's pathetic that we're always low on needed necessities.... I get because of COVID-19 being a complete hardass and all... but do we really need to be that low on needed supplies all the time?

Most of the moronic old idiots seem to have gotten out of the way, except in politics. Those still pulling political strings are mostly old enough to be surviving thalidomide babies. It's not like every one of the affected came out with three arms and teeth where there should not be teeth. They did not all die either.
I think they are running the government.

As for most of the younger idiots running things, I am going to blame sunspots.

Both of them have done really horrible shit but somehow the narrative from my mother that it's all *his* fault - in reality both have been a major impact to my wellbeing and mental health.

She'll never see eye to eye, but I feel it's the more mature and healthy approach rather than the toxicity we currently have.

Saw the young Red Fox today as I stepped outside to go get the mail.  It saw me and froze, of course I stopped too.  Then I stepped back behind my car so as not to unduly alarm it.  It looked like it was hunting,  and as I stepped back, it relaxed a bit.  Then turned to whatever it was focused on.  Then it quickly trotted off in the direction it was headed in.  It must have established a territory here as there are no other foxes that we have seen.  There is plenty of prey, chipmunks, mice, voles, etc and there is water available in a decent sized marsh at the bottom of our hill.  Where I saw it last night, as I was driving home from work at 11:00 pm.  It was headed to the marsh as It passed in front of my slowed down car.   8)

People remark to me "wow an accountant, you must be pretty busy this time of year!"
No maam, not really.

Relief (in a way), that we have made the decision to call off our Florida trip this year.  The coronavirus numbers down there are soaring and the the thought of a plane trip down and back gives us the heebie jeebies.  Also relief that I was able to set up my medicare A and social security account with a phone call from the local branch of the SS/medicare office.

Disappointed that we had to cancel our Florida trip this year.  Airline travel is making us leery, and Florida coronavirus cases are rising.  Like so many other states that opened up way too soon.  Add to that, we would have to quarantine for 2 weeks after returning to New England.  Something neither of us can afford to do.

Any particular event to why? Usually it's overworked but that's already just an assumption.

The covid thing, the not getting away for vacation thing, the constant people being assholes at work in life thing........I'm getting worn down.  It's a good thing I don't own a disintegrating phaser.   >:(

just got back from pub, gave them a fake phone number for track and trace. went to the shop after to buy a snack, didnt wear a mask.

ive been doing nothing but debunking your corona virus fraud since i got here. and if at any point you were to admit to being a fraud, i would move on.

you think i made up event 201, 7/7 plan, bombs in the buildings, you think i personally made all that stuff up whole cloth by myself? it comes from the community.

its important to listen to those of us who can still see because society is being divided into those who can see and those who cannot.

On the plus side, Carla went online to get a reservation at a nearby beach state park with nature trails, Odiorne Point in Rye NH.  Reservations are necessary to keep the numbers down.  We did wear our masks and I found some interesting ocean worn stones for future craft projects.  It was just plain nice to get away and wander around a beautiful area with views of the Isle of Shoals and sea life.  Even found some sea glass.  Carla sound one worth keeping. 

It started to get crowded as we left.  Home now preparing lunch and a nice mug of tea.

Going through one of the big boxes of LPs I acquired recently, I found a Led Zeppelin, "Physical Graffiti" I was very glad to find. This version is one I did not know existed.  I thought it was a very typical 45RPM, 220gram re-release version with four discs, but it has two extra discs of "projects" they were working on that did not make the original cut.
Now when this was re-done for this 40th anniversary version, Jimmy Page, with help from Hoffman and Rudy G (BIG names in the industry) "re-mastered" it and these extra discs included some damn fine boogie and off-the-wall Zeppelin out takes. WOW!!
What a find!
After researching on the Hoffman website, I discovered that this is a fairly rare item. Of course its monetary value is decreased significantly by the fact that it is no longer factory sealed, but I am going to enjoy just re-living the history lesson this item provides.

This is way better than another free sledge hammer!

Surely this is over the line?

III People with Autism are indivisible.
There can be no discrimination because of race, color, creed, national origin, religious or political belief.
Any division among Autistic People can help no one but the status quo of society.
Discrimination by one Autistic Person against another Autistic Person is suicide. Discrimination is a weapon of society. Its entire history is proof that it has served no other purpose than to pit person against person to their own destruction.

I remember that.  My work group, caps2, just got run down because we're not "fast enough" unloading multiple trucks.  AND for not caring,  guess what, I DON'T,  I do my best and FUCK THE REST.  If they want me to work better, they should stop throwing more work and more obstacles in my path.  Otherwise, I will do my job at my own pace and in my own time.  I've been dealing with this for 3 years now.  My group does twice the work at the store and takes 10X the shit.  I'm only there to stay busy and do my part for the bill paying.  I start SS soon and if they want to push me to the brink.........they can kiss my ass.   >:D

I'm the maintance associate who was transfered to cleaning duties in the Produce Section.

Read that an owl had flown into a sheriff's car a few days ago creating havoc and last week a bald eagle attacked a surveillance drone and sent it to the bottom of Lake Michigan. There's a Flag Waving moment there if I ever heard of one.
Few days before, a flock of vultures (or a committee of vultures as some call it) messed up one of the communication towers near the border that President Trump had a hand in improving,

It seems like even the fucking birds are protesting authority these days.

Thinking about what to do next about this pesky ebay seller - I've sent him amiga stuff for repair (he offers various repair services and seemed to be reputable due to what others have said) about a month ago, haven't heard a word since. Sent him a message a week ago, haven't had any response.

There's nearly £300 worth of amiga parts that was sent, all meticulously wrapped and itemised in a document with the order number for repair, confirmed to have been received via tracking. Could have repaired it myself, but my SMT soldering skills are not up to scratch.

If there are delays due to the pandemic, then fine, I'd understand. Still, it's frustrating that I've had no update or word of anything, not even an idea of an ETA so I can wait patiently. I hate doing this, I'm not the kind of person who would be deemed a "karen", but I feel that I need to put my foot down if I get no word by next week.

That's absolutely a reasonable request. The least the seller could do is acknowledge they received your email even if they don't know yet when it will be repaired. The silence is unnerving.

I'll wait another week for a response and I'll then make a follow up message. I found their main site, so I'll likely contact there too. If I hear no other word after that, I'll bring it up with ebay and see from there.

I'm thinking there is more to the story that I'm not aware of - they have a pretty good trustpilot score and people have been recommending them left, right and centre, so I don't think it's a normal case of poor communication or incompetence. Likely something fell through the cracks along the way.

Rough couple of weeks.
I was hospitalized for a spider bite. My left arm became very red and infected. You could see very large vein in my arm and it was purplish red. Five days in the hospital can take a toll. 
The actual point of the bite only got swollen and red, but my arm became numb, very sore and with the discoloration in my veins, I decided to go to the ER.

I knew what it was and killed it, because the bite itched immediately and I scratched at it under my sleeve, killing the spider. I could see immediately what kind it was and they are very common here. I took the time to catch one to take to the doctor with me once my arm began to worry me.

Three days home from hospital, my oldest aunt died after fighting Covid-19 for three months. She was quarantined in a nursing home in Texas. 87 years old and had some light dementia symptoms, but she could not understand why the flu keeps coming back. You get the flu and you are sick for a few days then everything goes back to normal she had said. As if there can ever be a  "normal"  again.

On the way back from the funeral, here at home again (I had driven down to Texas for the funeral), stopped at a traffic signal two cars got into a wreck right in front of us and totalled my Traverse. Car slammed right into the front tire breaking the transaxle.

So, new car, now.

Rough couple of weeks.

No epi pen.

The spider is called a pillbug spider or woodlouse spider (main diet), Dysdera crocata, not native but been here for over a hundred years, now common. Doc saw no evidence of allergic reaction in my system, just the location of the bite caused problems. Hit me right over a major vein and although it did not puncture that deeply the venom quickly went straight into my system and began paralyzing and pre-digesting me.

That is so bizarre. Woodlouse spider bites don't normally cause that reaction but a brown recluse spider would. I had the same reaction when I was bitten by one when I was pregnant with my oldest.

So glad you're still in one piece though after everything you've been through. :hug:

We have those here, usually found under logs/rocks/wherever you'd expect to find woodlice etc. Aggressive fuckers but the bite's not usually worse than a wasp sting. You rolled a 1 pal. Glad you're on the mend.

My grandmother was obsessive about those spiders... so obsessive that she kept a journal with newspaper clippings. She was deathly afraid of them, yet she knew more about them then I did.

It was along time ago when she showed me the journal, right before she started going through the Alzheimer phase.

I decided to try this brand because I got sick of the Trouble & Trix one and having to clean the trays with a friggin chisel, and getting thick wet clay caked on everything.

It's Kayleigh that cleans the tray itself, I'm the one who scoops the poo out between litter changes. Kayleigh doesn't like the clumping litter much because of what you described, Charlotte. She prefers the crystals. At the moment we have a mixture of both. Only one cat is using the tray, the other cat goes outside.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. I'm doing better. Most of the infection is gone.
I know I had the right spider. They are common and when it was inside my hoodie, I had only ruptured its abdomen. The cephalothorax was well intact and I could see its eyes; one distinguishing feature of Loxscoceles genus. It was not a brown recluse.

Any way, all better now.
Thanks for the well wishes.

I totally agree.

One place where  I lived for a while ,  the local council were prevailed upon to concrete over the "village" pond, because the kiddies might fall in and drown.  Ironically,  was the kind of estate where many of the parents take zero responsibilty for their children; and many of  of them  were already hardened vandals with well-seasoned vocabularies  before they even started school. They were in a lot more danger from each other, as subsequent events proved  (eg one small boy was murdered by his older brother who was meant to be looking after him).

I know, that's   totally tangential  the point you were making .  But still.

If you challenge the payment, keep a record of any correspondence you have with them and contact your bank if you are not satisfied with the outcome.

Yes, some online retailers are very scammy and will send and charge for multiple items when you have only purchased one. If bravissimo have a record of doing this, your bank will likely know about it and give you a refund, no questions asked.

This happened to my wife a couple of years ago, she ordered something online and they sent several items through and started adding ongoing fees and stuff. I made sure she challenged it properly with her bank and she got 100% back as well as being able to keep the items.

Also never pay for anything online using those "secure payment methods" where you have to log into your online banking account. This is a red flag that it's scammy, because once you do that then it becomes much more difficult to claim a refund. Normally you can claim a refund and it is the responsibility of the retailer to prove that everything is above board, but if you've used a secure payment method like I mentioned above, it's up to YOU to prove that you got scammed.

Many people actually think the opposite, that a secure payment method protects them. Unless your bank is a dodgy 3rd world bank that doesn't give refunds for credit card fraud, it's the opposite: a standard credit card payment where you just enter your card details is by far the safest way to pay for something online.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Minister Of Silly Walks on October 19, 2020, 01:06:55 AM
Also always check reviews. Here is one set of reviews I found:
https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/bravissimo

Things to watch out for with online reviews:
* Big discrepancies, fantastic reviews mixed with terrible reviews. Particularly when the good reviews look formulaic. This can mean that the retailer is paying for those fantastic reviews.
* Good reviews suddenly turning to terrible reviews: this can mean that the retailer is sourcing their products differently, or the retailer was only marginally profitable or unprofitable and was quietly sold to a scammy operator who will take advantage of the retailers good reputation to scam as many people as possible.

Dodgy online retailers rely on giving customers the runaround when they complain about an issue. They are relying on you not knowing how to lodge a chargeback with your bank. A lot of people don't actually know that they can get a refund when they have an issue with an online purchase.

Dodgy online retailers will hide additional purchase details in the terms and conditions (that almost nobody ever reads). I remember when I was putting together guides for small online merchants for a new product the company I worked for was putting together, I had no idea what I was doing so I pulled up a bunch of online merchant guides from various banks. And that was one of the main pieces of advice they gave for merchants to reduce the risk of being hit with chargebacks. Don't hide fees or subscriptions or anything like that in the terms and conditions because if you do, you can get hit with chargebacks (refunds to the cardholder). And it's the cardholder's bank that primarily decides whether to issue the refund (at the merchant's expense), so if it even looks like the merchant is trying to hide a cost or a fee, they don't have a leg to stand on when the cardholder asks for a refund.

Apparently, our side of Illinois is known as Region 8, and Region 8 as far as we know it has a diagnostic increase of 10.9% of Covid-19 cases within our turf.

The best course of action from J.B. Pritzker's people you ask? A simple mandatory shutdown of churches with congregations going from 25 to 10 people and Restaurants being temporarily shut down until further notice.

I know some people are going to get huffy about this, but let's be honest here... I would rather make it a priority to get through this without the leading cause of the spike: ignorance and entitlement attitudes like the ones done by those fellows who called themselves Wolverine Watchmen in Michigan all because they thought the stay at home order from the Madam Governor was a violation of their constitutional rights.

Really? -_-

Really? -_-

No matter what happens, there is one little itty-bitty thing that has to be over-politicized... and the ignorance of the anti-maskers (anti-vaxxer wannabes) isn't helping us flattening the curve of this virus.

Sorry... I'm just fed up with this crap.

So I had to take my dog to the hospital 2 days ago due to some concerning symptoms. I called them ahead of time and said hey this is what we're dealing with. She's extremely lethargic, doesn't want to eat, suddenly won't jump up on furniture, won't play fetch which she LOVES, doesn't want to go up/down stairs and is super clingy and moody and I don't know why. So they say bring her in at 4pm. They do bloodwork (excellent), a urinalysis (clear) and I get a bill for $380 of testing to find out my dog THINKS she's pregnant. She's having a phantom pregnancy. Her nipples are swollen, she has morning sickness, they know intuitively they can't do strenuous things like jumping, she's retaining water etc etc. It's the most bizarre thing to go through and at the end of this she stands a chance of going through depression when there's no puppies when her body tells her she's not pregnant anymore.

I was gobsmacked. I had read about it and knew it existed but I had never known anyone directly who had experience with it, not even friends of friends and whatnot and I've been in rescue work since 1991. It's the most bizarre and beautiful thing to witness. She's taking this SO seriously and doing everything that her body intuitively tells her to do or not do. It's like she's suddenly matured overnight. Even Monkeygirl noticed the difference. But at the same time it's sad because the end result isn't what she's expecting.

Although I had to laugh because the other night, my husband was bugging her and normally she finds it hilarious and she gets goofy and whatnot but you could clearly tell she was NOT having it and finally she snapped at him. Literally. It was such a clear message of go fuck yourself, you're annoying me that I couldn't help but laugh. Then she left to follow me to another room and she was like "GAH! MEN!"  :laugh:

It's not one of their best pieces of music, but it's cheery nature is uplifting.  It's an ear worm.

Listened to Three Imaginary Boys yesterday, for the first time in a couple of decades.  Considering it was their first album and came out in 1979, it's still a really good album.

I have a bass guitar next to my work desk and a couple of times a day I take a break, put on some Cure at random and play along for a few songs.  It keep smy fingers exercised and stops me from getting bored.

(When I say "a bass guitar" I mean two Steinbergers and an 80s Squire with some Fender hardware, and a refurbed Laney Linebacker.)

When my wife and I got married we bought a Mielle washing machine and it lasted for 18 years with no issues at all - although it did start to smell fusty towards the end.  We went to buy another btu the Mielles were around £1200 - and we didn't have that lying around.  So we bought a Bosch for about £480 and so far (had it 3 years?) it's been fine. 

What I would advise is that buying cheap washing machines is a short term economy.  Buy the best one you can.

Why do I always find out when I'm next going to work at the very very last minute? Literally just a days notice.

Now as I've said a few times before, there's a lockdown here on Thursday. Out of the restaurant job again most likely.

It's been a struggle for real.

Looks like walmart is going to have tons of discount Halloween candy and such.  The back warehouse/receiving part of the store is loaded with candy and other Halloween stuff.  Add to the palettes of xmas stuff AND candy you can barely move back there!   :LOL:

In theory we can get cited for putting garbage out before 4 p.m. the day before pickup (Tuesdays and Fridays for me).  I don't know of anyone who's been cited.

Hi, all.

Still healthy, we are, but my mom is in quarantine along with her two brothers. Youngest brother is positive for Covid-19 and before diagnosis my mom was over at his house. She is high risk due to her age (83), but she also had knee replacement surgery in October. She is quite immuno-compromised.

Tested negative. Awaiting her second negative test next week.
Enough updates.



Odd thoughts I've heard: 

2020 is about to turn 21 and start drinking!

A bedraggled and beaten down 2020 talking to a budding young 2021 with attitude, "How's that? I gave it HELL!!"   2021 grins and says, Hold my beer and WATCH THIS!!!"


An original thought ... I want to produce and sell T-shirts that say  ...   SURVIVOR of the LOST YEAR  Est: 01/01/2020   :headbang2:


... or year first style might look better ... Est: 2020-01-01

Doing a lot of wood working that has nothing to do with my speaker project. Home improvement things. Not as much fun, but still very satisfying to finish.
 
I'm almost finished with my garage pantry "extension" project. Basically a box, seven feet high, six feet wide, three feet deep with two full length, latching/sealing doors in front. Being in the garage, the pantry had to be rodent and insect proof. I've accomplished that, I think.

I had help with the rodents, because my cat mostly lives in the garage these days. I'll know about the insects (marauding colonies of starving ants) in the spring.

I hear you!  I always think about my dear friend Fred and how I am glad he did not survive to this point.  The pandemic and the lock downs and the travel restrictions would have killed him.  And yes, like your friend, Fred was alive, really alive, even at 93.  Sociable, gregarious, congenial, passionate about many things.  Not to mention that Florida is a virulent hot spot for Covid right now.  Yet, the Governor is a trumpaholic and refuses to do anything to curb the spread.  AAAAAARRRRGH, I should also add that he is corrupt as hell.  Sorry for the rant. 

I can still hear Freds voice as encouragement and telling me to get, "my head in gear".  Or his favorite expletive, "That makes my ass suck wind."  I say it to this day!  Sounds like your friend left a mark to you like my friend did.    Honor it and let it be meaningful.

Hi DD, good to hear from you again.

Had a covid scare recently, but it turned out I was negative.

I'm glad. This thing has all of us chasing our ...       
I want it to be over.


My mom, her two surviving sisters and two surviving brothers all tested negative for Covid-19 this week. The youngest brother, my closest uncle -  only five years older than I and he has recently had back surgery similar to the procedures I have been considering for a few years is doing great. He was the first to show severe symptoms, but he is fine, now. Still kickin' and with boots on! I admire the man.

I would rather just shoot myself in the head than to be razored at again and have parts of my body sawn out and metal replacement parts installed, but I have way too much first hand info about how that type of solution can affect a family to actually give up to that point and perrform such a selfish act. Not doing it. Not a chance. I am not alone.

I dropped a bit of coin on shop equipment lately and a dust collection system was a priority. What a difference that makes!!

Hope everyone is OK around here. I'll catch up over the winter with missed posts and check in some.

I'm a cleaner too. We don't really say janitor here. But anyway my job is sanitizing desks, keyboards, mice, phones, cupboards, kids tables and gym equipment (for kids). I also empty office general rubbish bins and recycling bins. A lot of the time tissues and paper towels are thrown into the recycling bins and it drives me nuts.

I understand that.  Because those calls always seemed to come when they were on break or on another spill.  And the customer service announcers can get nasty, especially if a wet spill is in THEIR area.  No matter how small.   >:(

The face board on one of the doors I need to paint is...I dunno how to describe it...all frayed/fluffy on the bottom of the door due to scraping along the floor. Now I'm not sure whether to use a planer or surform blade to trim it all back smooth. I'd prefer a surform blade since one is cheaper to buy. I can't even find a definitive answer as to what type of wood composite material it's even made of. MDF? Particle board? What?

So, I am in FB jail for telling a rumpolini supporter to "fuck off".  I have 13 hours left in my sentence!  Oh well, I wonder if this gives me street cred?   :-*  It was a friend and her sister who got my goat!  Well, not a friend anymore.   8)

Dad started out as a janitor when we came back to the states... he went on to be a PCT again after that...

I'm a Walmart Janitor, and I still have no idea what would work for me (practically that is)

A few days ago. the walmart maintenance man was running ragged.  It seemed every 20 minutes I would hear, "Maintenance here or there for a wet spill."  I felt so sorry for them and so angry at the customers for being douche bags.

I always get annoyed when they call me for the wet spills... especially if I was in a midde of a task, or not the only one there -_-

I understand that.  Because those calls always seemed to come when they were on break or on another spill.  And the customer service announcers can get nasty, especially if a wet spill is in THEIR area.  No matter how small.   >:(

I only became maintenance because that was what was assigned to me... sure I sucked at the beginning, yet I got better

Most people would call me crazy but Sydney looks like the place to be right now; rents are plummeting! (lack of international students and people making the exodus to...well, my town). I could get an inner suburb 2BR unit close to the train station for $400/wk. I know the amount still sounds nuts but it's only $50/wk more than the same thing here.

We had lockdown for a week where practically everything was closed (I still had some work though) and most people stayed home. Then we had a week of everyone wearing masks and going back to work. No more masks happens on Sunday at 12am.

I'm going out for lunch on Sunday so I'm glad about this. Everyone I worked with in this past week has found it difficult to wear their mask. I had trouble hearing people.

I kind of realise that we take a lot for granted when it comes to our freedom here in WA. We've been mostly unaffected by the Coronavirus so when something like these past two weeks happened, it was a shock.

Fair point. I meant Dunc's reply and didn't think of it beyond that.

That's good. I don't remember how long lock down lasted here. There was a stay at home order and curfews, and then even earlier curfews for a couple of weeks because of the rioting. I think it was two months we weren't allowed to have any guests in the house.  :dunno:

It's obvious my bathroom bulkhead ceiling corner needs another coat, but I just can't get it smooth enough. Even after sanding there's bubbles and visible edges. I wonder if it's possible to water the compound down a little in the container. Or should I just say screw it and start painting.

There's usually a lot of birds visiting the feeders here in the winter. Not so much this year. It's been cooler than usual this year, so they may have gone somewhere warmer instead. What's the plan for so many bird feeders? Gifts?

Sorry, folks, but I was trying to post while at the park using my cell phone and some kind of auto correct nonsense either didn't work well or couldn't keep up with my own misspellings.

I was trying to explain my abscence lately and, at the same time, brag about having hand built twenty three (thus far) wooden bird feeders.

Seeems like the entire microwave network is broken, right now. Not really cold anymore. I mean below freezing by a fair margin at tnight and above freezing during the sunny dayys. It's February and I am managing my expectations better. I promise.

Oh, and so I was trying to post when my daughter slipped and fell on an embankment while walking the dog and she hurt herself some. No doctory stuff, but nice bruise from the ice. Kind of changed the subject of bragging about building bird feeders.

Well, yeah. I have given them all away so far, except for a few.  It wasn't a plan. I started looking at my need for a new bird feeder and looking at what shite was available to buy. Then My wood pile came into view. All my bro's in law are set for life.
I just kept on building until I was out of suitable scrap wood. I now have seven in my yard AND a vey athletic squireel family who have defested every attempt to prevent them from stealiong from my birdss. :hahaha:

That bit sort of explains that earlier, stupid post. I can not explain why I thought posting from a cell phone was a good idea. I may need some help here.

Mainly though, quite a lot lately, I have been missing live music. Even though I have hardly been active for a few years, NOW, it is starting to hurt, to not even be able to seek out such experiences.

I'm afraid the pain will only grow more profound and sharpen before the situation gets better.

Husband was also frustrated by the squirrels raiding the bird feeders, so fashioned the feeders to a tall pole which can be lowered to refill them. The pole has a metal slinky toy over it. There have been a couple times over the years a squirrel has managed to make it to the top, but it's very rare and has worked well.

Not really frustrated. The birds make a bigger mess and the squirrels clean some of it. I can't hate on squirrels, being a good Dawg and all.

I just have to accept the squirrels, too. In fact, I am more fascinated watching squirrels, sometimes. I'll have to dig up a pic from a few years ago showing a Ninja, fucking Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise, MI, DoubleO, Batfoot, hanging upside down, marauding, assassin ...

With two large oaks in the back yard and the wooded area behind it, the number of squirrels is high and they can empty the feeders in a single day. They get to eat what the birds drop, and some seed is purposely scattered on the ground for the doves. Have seen similar as the photo. Once bought an acrylic feeder which fastens to a window with suction cups. The squirrels were climbing the screens of nearby windows to jump to it, and dangling upside down from the gutters to drop and land on it. Ended up passing the feeder to a family member who has a sliding glass door, hoping they might have better luck with it.

I love watching squirrels/chipmunks. Not as many as I would like around here, and when you do see them they seldom come out in the open for you to get a good look at them...too many hawks around.

Then there are the crows fighting each other and begging me to toss out some goodies every time I step out the door.

It is apparently the family AND the publisher making a joint decision that certain Dr. Suess works (6 in total) are not going to be printed again.  6.....dated and racially questionable today.  Like "Little Black Sambo".  So in the entire library of Dr. Suess works,
6 get dropped.  Check it out for yourself if you don't believe me!  But, of course, the magatard/trumpists are making it into a magadrama about cancel culture.

I spent the week with my eldest son and his family. He has changed a lot in the short time I've known him. He looks more like me than ever.   (But he has the mischievousness and goatee of my Uncle Glen)

He married a bubble bump hugger, I thought. During the visit the impression was that she really only bubble bump hugs certain people and those she feels obligated to show a courtesy, but NOT a part of her "family" just get a bubble bump, not a hug.

I doubt that I am the first to notice. I just decided to group similar behaviors into a stereotype in my mind.

I am guilty of "labeling."  Can you help me?

The local writer's manuscript, along with all its lawyers and prima donna players that I found in an auction lot I recently purchased has "come calling!"

I am now required by a state court to turn over the property, and any documentation that I have acquired since its purchase, to the courts, just to establish its authenticity and help to determine proper ownership.

I never wanted to be in anything like this. It was MY county sheriff's deputy who knocked on my door (absolutely amazing hunk of a MAN, TBH), "While I Had Family Visiting From Texas, PLEASE!!," and made me aware that my notifications to the family in question have been recorded by the court already and I have ten days to comply with the court order.


OK, now wait a minute.
What court order?......  well, apparently, the manuscript was hidden from the family and the wishes of a person I have never before heard words of were in the process of being "finalized"  when he died. He had hidden the manuscript from his annoying family while he worked through its succession toward his end. Never finished.

Now, we living must finish what ever began long ago. He died twelve years ago and just last month was the auction to settle the estate? I had clues along the way. WTF am I in the middle of?

I posted that I would freely give back the manuscript to the family, but according to the Deputy Sheriff, I can not do so, without first following the court's decision to turn over the property to the court for full establishment of its authenticity and ownership. Yeah, well, it's a yellowed ream of old faded inked over pages, encased in a leather satchel thingy that was a surprise when I found it.

I am pretty sure that I bought it legally at an auction, specifically created to settle, once and for all, the final distribution of all properties left by "one , if referenced further within this document shall be simply referenced as the decedent."

I also HATE "referenced as."  It just feels wrong!!  Now, I have a legal document requiring me to do something that doesn't even make sense, if we agree that we are actually conducting this business in ENGLISH!!!!  The, "mother fucker!!" and a few other explitives are assumed.

Well, the karens certainly love to shop on the weekends.  ::)  I'm working in the paper aisles and this "lady" comes up to me and asks "where's the pet food?"  I tell her that they are located across the Rochester NH walmart near lawn and garden.  All the way across our store.  She gets angry and proceeds to tell me that she obtained pet food near  the grocery section not long ago.  So I calmly reply that in our store there is no pet food near grocery.  That makes her angrier and she huffs off  and says,  "I know I got it here, a short time ago, so that is a lie!"  I say nothing and turn back to doing my job, put my hands in the air and say nothing.  The customer waiting for me to help him just looks after her with a degree of shock.  I help him, he is nice and respectful and that ends that. Anywho, I tell my mgr and coworkers about it and they are as disgusted with behaviors like that as well.  Now one thing I need to mention, all walmarts are not the same.  One walmart nearby DOES have pet food next to the paper aisles, which is right across from the grocery section.  The walmart in Newington also has pet food near grocery.  These are also smaller walmarts than ours.  I really hope she went to complain about me.  They would have explained the same thing.  She probably didn't.  Customers love to vent their spleen on us "lowly peons".  😜

There's gonna be some serious flooding in Kempsey over the weekend. I already have a rough idea of where all the localised stuff happens. I'm interested in this from a house hunting perspective. Obviously I will avoid houses that flood, but what about ones that get cut off....?
There's a nice little 1.5 acre block for sale. Downside is, it's 60m from the Pacific Hwy. Upside is, I can park on the hwy whenever the local access road is cut off by water.

I think about sound often.

What did you get?

I haven't upgraded headphones in a few years. Mine are sounding solid still, but showing signs of "USE" to be gracious. Kind of leaning into the market and mostly finding stylish products I don't even want to try.

Last year I spent some time playing with my computer speakers, Linear array driven by tube power (never satisfied with the subwoofer matching) and went back to my Almost Twenty Year Old Yamaha set up.

I have a set of Klipsch Pro Media, a few years old. I put them in the bedroom.

Ended up buying new birdseed. The weather is much nicer, so doesn't make sense there's still no birds. Began to wonder if the last batch of seed was bad somehow, so tossed it all into the lawn, cleaned the feeders and put out new seed. Seems to have done the trick.

One "newish" expression has begun to get under my skin, to put it mildly.

I was in a store, rare occurrence these days for me and a manager said, "Oh, just leave it.  We have people for that."

A few days ago, I was getting gas and I heard another patron say, "Why don't they have people for that?"

This phrase disgusts me.

The squirrels seem happy with the large amount of seed which was scattered about. Looked out the back door window this morning to see six on the ground munching away, while two more watched enviously from the lower branches of one of the trees.

What are you breaking in?

I so wanted to get hold of the Klipsch Pro Media but they're impossible to find here. My next idea was to buy a pair of Audioengine A5+ but they had delivery problems so I gave up on them.

I briefly considered a pair of Klipsch R-51Ms before settling on a pair of Dali Spektor 2s, powered by a leftover Denon 1912 AVR I had lying around. The Dalis are very, very clean down to about 58 Hz or so, so I found an age-old Pioneer sub to add some oomph below that. The Pioneer isn't clean at all but it'll do until I can get a decent sub. I might test the Cambridge Soundworks sub that remains from the system that died on me. The speaker outputs from that are dead but the sub still lives. It's 20+ years old by now.

The Dalis are a great buy and it feels like they're beginning to break in now so I'll probably tune the Denon soon.

The new(-ish) headphones are a pair of Sennheiser Pxc 550 II that I got to replace a pair of Bose ANCs I never really liked. Both are meant for travel purposes only. For home listening I tend to go with AKGs.

Seemed like the best way to get my inbox a rest. Nothing from them when I had a soft heart about it. NOW, I can see why we are just now auctioning off the old bastards last things. I do not want to be a part of some goofy family struggle for dominance.

My Law Dawg tells me that I have all it takes to prove ownership of the manuscript to any court.  I have decided to keep it.

FUCK THEM!!!   They want to try to act shit and force something out of me, I won't play.

I was actually feeling very christian-like when this started. I mean I just wanted the classic record collection and bid on tools, just because someone else was and it was going for WAY TOO LOW. I didn't really care about the old tool cabinets. One of those old cabinets turned out to be a Browning gunsafe, BTW. It was the only thing in the lot that I could see when I bid. It stood wide open, hinting that all the other boxes were empty. Not the case. The other three were full of tools. Nothing great, just old tools which I collect.
Didn't even realize I was bidding on a Browning product.

Anyway, the other bidder gave up and another started for, presumably, the same reason I had bid on the boxes. NOT going to allow some random asshole to get TOO much of a bargain on something I have a passing fancy toward.

It truly was a great day.

Yes, Brand New things that move require time to move a while before they relax into the best version of what they are or can be. Cars, toasters, plumbing fixtures, etc.
Headphones work by moving. Hard to see sometimes, but as they "relax" into to the way they will perform for most of their life, they change the way they sound.
Not always good, but good OR better is the hope as you "suffer"  through the break in period.

That would be welcomed. The term lawn is used very loosely for the back yard. With the exception of annual rye grass in the winter, the only grass which does well here in such dense shade is an expensive sod which has to be babied and nursed by professionals; even then chances aren't too good. If any of that seed sprouts it will be a win. :laugh: Counted nine squirrels munching this morning. Interesting how they keep their social distance from each other, 6-8 feet between each one of them. Squirrels appear to have a sizable comfort zone bubble.

Decided the first year here, the cost of a nice lawn isn't a financial priority. Fortunately there's a low growing basketgrass weed which takes over the shaded areas in the warmer months. Between weed season and rye season, there's a couple of months per year the yard looks more dead than alive, but that's okay.

Sound equipment often gets BETTER as they get used to being used. That, in essence, is the hope, while one endures break in.

Yet there are lots of people who claim there is no such thing as break-in on headphones. They are wrong, it's that simple. I'm an audio equipment manufacturer's worst nightmare and will invariably hear if there is something wrong with the product. Ask the Sennheiser tech who eventually gave up and granted me a fresh pair.

It's sort of a curse sometimes, too, because few others will hear the difference and understand what I'm on about. Explaining what I perceive as insurmountable problems with a product is an absolute pain.

So break-in is absolutely real and actually a wonderful thing because the discovery can be amazing. Such is the case with the Dali speakers. They're not yet for critical listening but after a first, very satisfying, tuning of the Denon amp yesterday, they are getting there. Falling in love with them.

I am trying to NOT be an alarmist.

We have had notification from legal folk as advisement of the intent of the city to take our house and  property under Eminent Domain laws.

For eight years this has been hanging over our heads, with the city trying to decide which avenue gets the big bucks AND exactly where to locate the new bridge across the White River in central Indiana.

It seems to have culminated in sixteen houses in our immediate vicinity to be torn down and a road dramatically expanded. Ours is one of those sixteen.

My Alarm revolves around the need to get LIFE things narrowed down to our most needed Priorities, packed up and ready to relocate.

The Sheriff is supposed to make formal all homeowner notifications during spring and summer, fall the land acquisitions are to take place and in February of next year the utility work is to begin.
My Alarm is about getting ready to minimize "truama" during the abandonment of a dwelling and many of its wonderments, which we have occupied since 1996.


The TIME has come.

My life long project will yet live. I WILL build the largest studio monitors that JBL ever offered. I will have them in front of me before I die, probably playing Blue Oyster Cult, Beatles and MANY guitar greats)

Acting is upon me and us generally.

Hey, Dunc, remember the long haired boy with the Mc-- name? Not the horrid California ass who had so many names it became troubling to keep up, but I think a Scot-like fellow who liked to show off his dick, as hard as he could get it? He was the first I heard calling our little street a rat run, so many years ago.
We live on a rat run.

Our little rat run is going to be four lanes with a Round About. Which see.

Peter, yeah, that's the one. I wonder what happened to him.

I thought of you when I discovered that our new "weather girl" is Swedish. Pretty sure YOU would claim her as a Swede without even waiting for the result of "Question Number 1" and even maybe CLAIM her, but you would have to compete. Amazing looker.

I prefer my whiskey straight up!   I have tried Talisker, Jim Beam Rye whiskey, Jack Daniels Rye Whiskey and one that was aged 15 years....very smooth.  They have a whiskey that is aged 21 years, but, at 200+ dollars, I will save that one for next xmas or a very special occasion.

I did see Peter on FB a couple of weeks ago. 

Saw a very cool picture of the latest Icelandic volcanic eruption....<sigh>, if it wasn't for the fucking pandemic, Carla and I would be in Reykjavik watching it nearby!  Front row seats!   :'(

Interesting choice of words.

He also took the time to take a pic series of his hair drying naturally and curling rather nicely. While any and all camping is ALWAYS notable, being a shutterbug myself, I was impressed by the dedication to document something as inane as hair drying.

That legal work I had hired to sort out ownership of an auction item, including an old book manuscript, has finished. It seems the local judge is satisfied that I am the owner, legally. Now, the matter of reselling the item BACK to the family will also be handled by the legal team.

None of this was necessary. I wanted to just give it to them until they threatened me with legal action.
My thought was to take what ever funds it takes to get the family to Fuck OFF!  and apply the proceeds to a charity set up when my nephew was killed at work.
NOW, with relocating our residence looming, I'm probably going to just pocket the wad for now. If I need it, we'll have it.

Looks like the monetary value of this old crusty thing is going to land in the many thousands of US dollars.

SURPRISE!!

First job out of highschool was residential cleaning. Cleaning all day as a job can definitely ruin one for cleaning after work. Bedroom and bath, a small personal daily commitment will quickly form habits and make a big difference. Horizontal surfaces are what makes a space appear messy. Quickly make the bed, pick up anything on the floor, empty the tops of furniture and the bathroom counter. Instant big tidy impact which only takes about five minutes. Then devote ten minutes per day actually cleaning something. Fifteen minutes per day is pretty easy to commit to, and very soon everything will get cleaned and that fifteen minutes is enough to always maintain it.

It doesn't even have to be done all at once, but the quick horizontal tidy would be best before leaving for work. It will be nice to return home to it. Also, just properly closing things also makes a big visual difference in things looking tidy, closet doors, cabinets and drawers, shower curtain, the lid on the toilet.

Even with my ancient and failing ears, I doubt that we will ever be satisfied with any streaming service or computer thingy doing its best. The convenience outweighs so many other issues, I continue to play music through my computer systems.

I have several DACs, but using a good tube based amp for headphones helps a bunch.

I have used an older version of this Decware product since before I ever registered here at Intensity Squared. Many similar products are available, but this guy is very reliable and I HAVE one. Recommending this company is easy.

But I really need to spend on a decent DAC first. My use case while working is pretty much limited to the computer, so that needs to be taken care of.

Becoming a daily routine for me. Taking the dog out to a park, I longchain him to a tree while I lay out on a table and stretch my back for about half an hour.  Kind of like an Old Man runty version of yoga. I find places that need stretching that I had neglected recently and it HELPS things. Often still for minutes at a time pressing into a good stretch, I am quiet.

This morning a healthy wood pecker came within about a meter of me and completely ignored me while he went about doing what makes him so different.
I feel like I have been given a rare gift.

Thank you for your responses so far FB people, but my pre-loved home furnishing & decor aesthetic is "something real estate photo presentable on an easy budget", not "just got out of rehab and I'm getting my life together mismatched soiled ensemble from the thrift store".

Now I'm torn between two pre-loved lounges! One is a lovely retro camel suede Tessa two seater, and the other is a mocha brown plain leather two seater.
The mocha brown sofa is nice on the eye but it's like concrete to sit on. Plus the owners stuck these two planks of (presumably) hardwood to the bottom to boost height. That means it's gonna weigh a tonne and I'll need two or even three people to help me get it home.. I'm still considering it out of guilt because the owners are old and their daughter who I've been dealing with on FB is lovely, I don't want to feel bad for wasting their time lol.

The Tessa two seater is very comfy to sit on and looks clean and tidy, apart from some fading on the back and it smells like dog. It suits my space so much though. It will go fabulous with the tan bean bag I have to use as an accent chair.

I was ashamed of our dark brown (yuck) recliners. My chair had its innards exposed, foam falling out and mechanisms visible. Plus Liam the cat had done a fair bit of damage sharpening his claws on it. Kayleigh's was going downhill fast - the seat itself was collapsing. I don't know how she put up with it.

So I saw a two seater brought into the Salvos, black with two cup holders and a central console to put stuff in (not the cat, though he likes it in there). I fluffed around undecided until a coworker said that if I bought it, she would organise delivery. Since that involved phone calls I didn't want to make, I said it was a deal.

So it was nearly a week later that we got our chairs (the delivery guy was really busy and only worked part-time). They had to be tipped up on the end to get through the front door. The old chairs are now in the backyard until our next junk out the front.

I think the Tessa one sounds better apart from the dog smell. Freeze?

I ended up getting the brown leather one. Like you, the sellers offered delivery for free so I took it. Now it's downstairs, a bit firm and the seat isn't all that deep but it's literally for decor atm. Febreeze just makes things smell worse IMO, like sweaty and dank.

Tessa's have me admiring the classic looking La-z boys now, the ones with the chrome or timber arms. I'm an old lady in disguise :laugh:

God I hope I have a sale tomorrow....

As for the....[something] damage (not termites IMO) in the shared wall with next door, well, I'm not sure how to proceed with that. The neighbour wants it inspected further and potentially repaired but if I exchange tomorrow and the wall isn't completely fixed before settlement in 6 weeks I'm screwed.
If I exchange tomorrow I may be mass blocking the numbers and email addresses of a lot of people to avoid dealing with it until it's not my unit anymore  :P
(don't worry the potential buyer knows the damage is there, they have the building report)
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: Charlotte Quin on June 20, 2021, 07:47:50 AM
In retrospect, committing an act of goodwill by asking the neighbour to check their side of the wall for damage was the WRONG thing to do, cause now they know it's there, and now they want it fixed. And now they say they want to move out in a few weeks and get everything in their unit painted and patched up.

Little sorrowful, here.
We lost our fourteen year old cat today. The sweetest cat EVER!! Never had a cat like her.
Had some scares a few months back, thought we were losing her then due to seizures, dropped massive coin to diagnose.
Tried to extend her life as well as we could AND we got four more months of Fabulous out of our efforts. Diabetic and she could only eat raw meats to ensure no additives containing sugars.

But, honestly, why do they put corn syrup in catfood? Pack o' bastards!

Rough day for us. I am grateful I did not have to dig another pet grave in February or January when the ground was frozen solid.

Aside from digging a grave, my daughter really NEEDED her dad today. I did my best.

Proper document management instead of the bloatware I'm stuck providing to customers. Proper publishing stylesheets. Modern standards instead of age-old ones used in the wrong way. Using technology for what it was meant for.

Basically everything that I'm not doing at work.

Plus, I've done far less actual development lately since I'm a lead architect. I watch junior devs doing stuff and there's only so much I can do to stop them from doing stupid things.

A reaction to my current work situation, I suppose. :laugh:

I'm really sorry about your cat. They're family and 14 years isn't long enough. Liam was 14 when he died of liver cancer and we were heartbroken. Going by what you said about your cat, she sounded like she was full of personality. What made me feel a bit better was to get photos printed of our cats (our other cat Mollie died of neurological illness a few months after Liam died, she was 16) and put them in an album of memories. Better than being only viewable on my phone.

They're doing it in phases over here. So phase 1A was supposed to be the over 70's, disabled, health/aged care/disability workers etc etc.
1B was supposed to be ages 60-70 and aboriginal people. And so on and so forth until the least at risk groups are left till last.
The trouble is there's an over-supply of AZ and a drastic shortage of Pfizer, the only two vaccines they decided to make available here. And of course the blood clotting risk with AZ came to light so all the entitled boomers don't want it. Meanwhile there are still loads of people in phase 1A who still haven't been able to get a shot of either.

Developing a major guilty pleasure in watching "Forged in Fire" on the History Channel.  I have always had a fascination with edged weapons, knives and swords mostly.  This show is like "Chopped" only with Blacksmiths instead of chefs.  Fascinating to watch that process.  Taking lumps of metal and forging them into various weapons or tools (like a firemans ax).   8)

Didn't wanna chicken out on my grill out today, but it's VERY hot. Maybe cook something in in the oven. My mind was set on the pork loin I found this week while at the butcher grabbing some beef. Then I thought,  "Do I want to start a fire outside or inside?" It's hot.

Fire outside.

This game I played with myself as I was awakening for the day at about 5AM, is still in my mind and I am so glad I did not heat up the house.
The pork loin was slow smoked from around 6-ish AM until about two hours ago. My wife made potato salad and I grilled some veggies to go with it.  It was amazing.

I think we'll be fine.

Today, I am glad to announce that I have reached the Statute Of Limitations for charges being filed against me for my last "bad temper" trouble. We had been arguing all day when I told my supervisor that he had NO leadership skills and could not even keep a bunch of monkeys fucking on his watch. He tried to hit me. I prevented his try and put him in the hospital in a few seconds. I was fortunate that six others were in the parking lot at the time and told the police a similar version of the events.

None of that hanging over my head anymore. Good!

Watching the "Hazmat LITE looking team" come to the house across the alleyway, strip out all the insulation and haul it away in bags they registered and recorded was a bit disturbing.
They were removing asbestos from the building before it is to be torn down, soon.

I went to one open home today. Twas a good house, but I want to knockdown rebuild the shed down the back, as at the moment it's just a rickety old timber workshop with a shade house attached. I want a proper garage. Only problem is in order to do this I'd need to cut down some trees lining the western side fence, but they're the only things providing privacy along that side. Not many other choices on the market right now, sadly  :-\

Getting to know some more Fire Fighters. One is my neighbor, another is on my Neighborhood Watch team, but NOW, the city has completed the processes with the owners of the house across the alley way and they are setting it up to use as Rescue Training.

They are setting the place with mannequins to have the team "rescue."

I asked what kind of fake smoke they used. They said, "WUT??"  I mentioned that if they deploy one of the Stage smoke units I used to have they would not be able to see their hand in front of their face in about ten minutes throughout that entire house and it is non toxic. They said, "WUT?!?"

They used buckets of smoldering stink. I "Face Palmed" and asked who the captain was.

i gave them a contact info for a really capable Stage smoke guy.
Can not imagine.

Wondering now how firefighter training works, do they do a bunch of dry runs before they light the building on fire and do a live training? Can you light up a building more than once for that if it's put out fast enough, or is it one and done?

They have buildings out of town that are designed with gas plumbing to burn many times, in many ways, multiple scenarios and still stand to be reused again and again.

This fire company using older dilapidated buildings the city has acquired to creepy crawl (Vincent Bugliosi reference, BTW) and rescue "mannequins" is actually a little smart. Also the dummy rescue mannequins weigh two hundred forty pounds and the firefighters are wearing eighty pounds of protective gear during the exercises.
These are tough people, working to improve themselves!!!

My idea of using stage smoke intrigued the Lt. They just always used a few buckets of shingles burning. Makes a little smoke, but I can not imagine why they have not already figured out to use a really dense fake smoke to imitate the invisibility element during training.

If I ask my neighbor anything about training he just says I could not keep up. I don't question that assumption. These guys and gals are athletes! I have a great deal of respect.

My "favorite nephew"  has a son of voting age and the son has taken his first wild boar this past weekend while bowhunting. I am not that much into the whole bow thing, fully equipped for any part of North or South America using my array of hunting rifles (maybe not Africa, but for buffalo, which are edible, but a ton of meat won't fit in my freezers) just never taken enough interest in bowhunting to have confidence like with my rifles.

Around here, the average boar is around 120 - 135 pounds. His was only field dressed and weighed in at 111 pounds. Now you can expect the "average tub of pig guts" to weigh twenty five to forty pounds and taking a bit of "my story has to be better than yours" into the report, my grandnephew took a larger than average hog on his first attempt.

I'm proud of the kid. He's doing it. He will be able to feed a  future family from the land.

I am SO Jealous  (but mostly, PROUD!)  of the bow abilities.

It's not that hard to look for dried mangoes anymore... the Aldis in my area carry them... and the ones I appreciate the most in my life are the Filipino Mangos and Pakistani/Indian ones.

I can't QFT this because it is an opinion which could be opposed very easily, but in an effort to agree on principal, I am building a large VIRTUAL monastery and sanctuary for those of us who agree.

I seem to encounter more and more things that spin my brain into a kind of "Will Not Comply/Will Not Attempt to Compute/Just,NO" mode.

For instance, I have often bitched about the "We have people for that or Why don't you already have people for that?" scenarios.  This thinking by others rakes through my mind leaving wounds that never seem to scab over much before being torn open again.

Another is the "acceptance of responsibility"  statements by some, "I would NEVER do that to someone deliberately, at least not on purpose."

I am proud of my nephew and his eldest.

My "favorite nephew"  has a son of voting age and the son has taken his first wild boar this past weekend while bowhunting. I am not that much into the whole bow thing, fully equipped for any part of North or South America using my array of hunting rifles (maybe not Africa, but for buffalo, which are edible, but a ton of meat won't fit in my freezers) just never taken enough interest in bowhunting to have confidence like with my rifles.

Around here, the average boar is around 120 - 135 pounds. His was only field dressed and weighed in at 111 pounds. Now you can expect the "average tub of pig guts" to weigh twenty five to forty pounds and taking a bit of "my story has to be better than yours" into the report, my grandnephew took a larger than average hog on his first attempt.

I'm proud of the kid. He's doing it. He will be able to feed a  future family from the land.

I am SO Jealous  (but mostly, PROUD!)  of the bow abilities.

My grand nephew sent me a half a pork butt, by another uncle. Not sure why they call it "butt."  It's a shoulder roast. That and two pounds of ground pork ...  I can see a batch of chili in our future!

I mean wut 'r ya gonna do?

I have a yet-to-be-written report in the back of my mind, one that I need to complete by tomorrow evening. While the topic and conclusions are both uncomplicated, at least in my mind, the fact that I'm doing it for a friend means that the report needs to be good.

I've spent most of the day researching it.

Somebody dumped a bag of glass fiber insulation on the side of the road 2 weeks ago.  ASSHOLES.  So after 2 weeks I come home from work, shove it in my trunk and throw it in a dumpster at a nearby condo site owned by the same company as our landlords own.  NO REGRETS!

There are many awaiting entry on the southern border. Just need to speed things up a LOT.

I think it is more the overly simplistic labeling that bothers me the most. The fact that some people still think they are so above average that they can look down on others.  Sometimes their classism is so endemic to certain communities ... I have a hard time with it.

Now, understand that I am not warning you of some kind of upcoming response to this degree of stress, but I have to admit that sometimes I look down upon those people.

Does that make me the same?




I'll keep you updated as I figure this all out.

Kind of fun being in a family of really great "arguers."  My daughter and I were doing our daily spit and hiss, trying to work together in the kitchen when I said I didn't mean to start a pissy cat howling.

My daughter said, "Then why are you pulling its tail?"

She wins!   :lol1:  :worship: :lol1:

I love her brain!


Recently met some of my wife's old friends from way, WAY back. They live away and contact was mostly email or Facebook for a couple of years. The other dad looks at me and told me she is a knock-out! I said, yeah, you probably had no idea that we were in so much trouble, did you?

My daughter is a Natural Force yet to come to realization of the POWER she wields. I love her so damn much!!

Part of the whole thing is just more of what you have to rid your mind of and self of as you reap clear your thoughts.

Took a long walk today and was in the mood for meditative walking, letting thoughts come and go in my mind.  Thought of Scrap, an abandoned house, some doggies giving me the watchful eye as I walked by, keeping an eye on the ground on the chance that I may spot something of interest to me (zilch--oh well).  Got a close up view of a Turkey Vulture eyeing a road kill critter for its next meal.  Hoping it will not get hit by busy traffic at this time.  A really big bird closeup, magnificent bird!  Put my walking stick away and now contemplating a snack and some tea or other hot beverage.   :meditate: :chin:

I'd make a complaint about it but the second partner is a apathetic dick (unless it involves his staff who work directly with him), and the third one is a sexist pig with a history of sexually harrassing women in the past.

I can't interpret what's going on properly. I can hardly communicate on the same page with him anymore, even about work. All I know is that it, and other off comments designed to gaslight, make me awkward and ashamed, have been happening for a while.  He would play head games even more if I tried to do anything about it. I need to gear myself up for the trauma of trying to leave.

Now is the long dark teatime of the soul.  Seriously, considering what I saw about a whistleblower and her revealing that suckerberg is more concerned with his profits then with safety and consideration for his members.  I'm not surprised,  he has allowed hate speech and misinformation on his little empire.  His bots have suspended several of my friends accts. for speaking up against hate and misogyny.  His bots suspended me for 24 hours for calling out a trump humper, who is also a relative of Carla.  Right after the insurrection of 1/6.  Suckerberg wants to have his cake and eat it too. 

We shall see if this lasts.  The whistleblower was part of a 60 minutes article on tv.  I always felt that FB was gonna fail at some point.  Like MySpace.  Stay tuned.

I was being gaslighted for 3 years, and I didn't want anything more to do with it... I understand the lies and the mental manipulation... I just hate that people do this kind of stuff to others.

The one thing that was happening was the mixed signals and the teasing, and making me look like I was the one hurting people... (I'm not going to drone on about it.... but you understand the situation better than anyone in my life that is obviously "Too Normal and boring for their own good")

Being misunderstood sucks... but it will get better in the long run, I'm almost positive it will.

^ No seriously. Since I've only had one vaccination I can't visit anyone except for compassionate reasons. That's what the public health order says. Though they can't police it, unless someone dobs. Mum can come and visit me soon instead under the guise of helping me move house (which is oddly allowed).

Despite being open the pub over the fence is eerily quiet. Probably because the majority age demographic that likes to go there isn't double vaxxed yet.

If you pay any attention to our President Biden, this might be a part of his "wish list."   He says that we must "protect the vaccinated."

Wait a minute, doesn't the "vaccination" itself protect the vaccinated? What do "they" want to do with the masses who will not comply. We can not allow them to mingle with others who have shown their loyalty.  At least not without some kind of masking mandate and or a work permit required for hiring only the vaccinated.

After my doctor went through my bloodwork with me, she said I already had a natural immunity due to strong numbers of anti-bodies similar to what is obtained a few weeks after the shot she can offer and saw no reason to "waste" any medicine on me.

On a note to all of us here I care about, science has known for over thirty years that zinc in your system tends to prevent all viruses from forming its "IMPOSSIBLE TO BREAK"  sequences of proteins that make us sick. Even if you get sick, the prominence of serum zinc tends to lessen any infection.

Make sure you eat foods high in zinc and a supplement won't hurt.
Teetering on the edge with this, but there is a reason why some do not even show symptoms after infection. I hope they figure it all out soon.

I mean, the mandates end on Dec 1st and my anti-vaxxer workmate can come back to the office then, so it's not Orwellian for long. And I do intend to get my second shot mid next month, I just refuse to shorten the 12 week interval between AZ doses to make others happy. I did the "right" thing and got my first shot in August, unlike the stragglers getting their first shots in this week (and only because the govt pretty much twisted their arm). Me and a lot of other under 40's had to resort to getting AZ because the govt fucked up and didn't bother getting enough Pfizer for our country early on.  It's just pisses me off that they made this vaccination situation I'm in but they don't care. All they care about is the inaccurate line in the sand of what % of the population are double dosed so far.

It's very strange walking around the main street here knowing I'm not allowed into any of the retail stores.

Not thinking of my troubles, I was blessed with a rare spectacle this morning.

I had a view of an almost full October moon setting at sunrise. Impossible to describe, but if you have ever been blessed so, you know.

I've only seen that a few times in my life. The inverse is fairly common and often quite a show for a few minutes. But to see the "giant, purple red moon" setting as the sun is beginning to lighten the sky is an incredible sight.

I have a tough time not enjoying my grapefruit this time of year while they are fresh and available FRESH and plentiful.
The 'staten I take to lower my serum "bad" cholesterol suffers interference by the grapefruit, causing the effectiveness of the drug to be reduced.

After an involved conversation with my doctor, she assures me that if I take the staten at night after all midnight snacks and such are done AND I only eat my grapefruit in the morning, there will not be enough interaction to worry about.

I am going to trust her.
 :worship:

Next blood test is in two months. I'll find out then if I should continue to trust ...

It seems to have resolved itself for some reason.  For awhile I was not getting any, yet when I went to the site it showed that there were new replies.  So it seems to be all good for now.  I remember now that SMF was quirky in the past.

Glad to hear it. SMF is not good at this - or maybe it's our host. Both have given us grief in the past.

We will either be accepted or rejected by six PM this evening.
We are awaiting the final hour and we have a good chunk to use for bidding that we did not have last week.

Speaking of silver (in another thread), I am running up against problems with the moving company regarding valuables like my huge collection of coinage and mass of bulk silver.

I thought my two large Browning safes and one smaller Prestige safe full of weaponry collectibles would be the biggest problem. I am still troubled about the logistics side of this dilemma. More figuring to do with this.

They have to inventory every item of value they move. I have one hundred fifty eight rolls of silver half dollars, fifty something rolls of silver quarters and over three hundred rolls of silver dimes from my efforts at bank scrounging over the past few years, stored secretly in my "bolted to the concrete" safes. I have posted about a few successes, but many more lackluster trips have happened. It adds up eventually.

I do have a complete inventory of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING copied in multiple locations for insurance purposes. I'm there, but not sure how much comfort I can ever know from allowing a few random guys working for a third party company to see, let alone record,  all this "wealth."

I have ordered a third LARGE Browning safe. Moving my collection of weaponry will be done by my own hands. I will not allow anyone to inventory my fifty year old collection! Just need a place to deliver the new safe now, other than my own (soon to disintegrate) garage.

Troubling! :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

We won the bidding war. It was supposed to be called at Six PM, but the company kept extending the time with each bid. It was after Seven PM when they called us victorious and I was sweating from pacing and my stomach felt like a monarch swarm, but wet and bubbly.

Went by this morning to make sure the sign was down. It wasn't. I took care of it.

With a little more luck and time to handle all the details and things just continue to fall into place, we may have found our new home.

On a more positive note, I have found a secure, bonded and insured company willing to move all my guns and collections, safely. :viking:  :tinfoil:  :viking:

I will have to pay them out of my own pocket, but the pussyfooting around with the other company, hemming and hawing crap, them not wanting to touch anything other than a couch or a few plates or pictures, is done.

Pretty sure this will work for me.

Never really talked much about my philately interests and the valuable items I have held since my childhood and teens (maybe late twenties when I became tooo busy to keep up, but who's counting? Probably only about some low two figure number of thousands of value anyway), but I need to move these safely as well. Having a company actually help me with some of this is a great blessing.

Going forth, "My Estate"  (as I portray laughingly) will be in good hands with this company I chose, I hope, it seems, I pray.

Well, Pizza is built, lots of sauce, sliced black olives,  fresh sliced mushrooms pan fried in butter, shredded cheddar cheese with a mix of parmesan cheese (at Carla's request) with a scattering of bacon bits as the final topping.  Just waiting for the oven to heat up to 450 and cook till done.  So glad I learned how to do my own cooking and experiment with food successfully.  Of course being married to a woman who is a whiz at cooking has helped me up my game in the kitchen!  Not bad for an old fart!   8)

I haven't noticed that tune...yet.   I usually dismiss what I hear, except for the ones I hate, unless it is a tune that I do love.  Like "Linus and Lucy" by Vince Gauraldi that was part of the Peanuts Christmas classic show. 

Of course,  "last xmas. I gave you my heart....."  is nowhere near being a christmas tune! ::)

I was thinking when my income became flexible, and I didn't rely on SSI as much anymore... I would make a trek up to Vancouver... mainly because I haven't been to Canada yet.

And plus it might be a thing to do to break my dry spell of not leaving the country since 2012 (of course the logical reason why I couldn't leave was because of this stupid pandemic, and my resources)

I'm hot in bed every night, and the reason I'm hot in bed every night is because my mattress is on the floor (no ventilation underneath). But I don't want to put my bed frame together and get my mattress off the floor because I'm still dissatisfied with the carpet in my room. If I put my bed together that means I will have to disassemble it again.

So far, so good.

SO damn much to do still. So many entities to satisfy!!

We are so lucky to have a chance at this beautiful home.

The day I went to take the "auction sale sign" down, it was back up the next day.  I really felt discouraged. I have been there every day since, doing things. Can not get inside yet, but I am attending the landscaping. When I saw the sign re-erected, my heart sunk into a bad place. BUT, now, no effort on my part, they have come to remove it completely.

It feels like just a waiting game to get all the papers signed and then, just maybe, it will be ours!!

This nightmare is finally coming to an end!!
+on us for courage and determination!!

Agreed. Can't recall reading anything about imagination, greater or lacking, as indicative of autism. Probably more that some people are imaginative while others aren't. Jack isn't very imaginative, especially struggling with being presented with hypotheticals.

I have a very vivid, wild, id-driven imagination. There is also a general lack of filter, so my mind will often wander off to VERY dark or sexual places. If I told anyone that bit, they would definitely be freaked out.

Anything I imagine looks very clear to me, with the ability to rotate, change colours etc. I can almost see it as clearly as my actual vision.

That said, I've been told I'm not "creative enough" at my last job, whatever that means. Likely because it bore the everloving shit out of me.

What kind of friendship doesn't allow freedom of thought? Sure blunt honesty is something they can't handle... but the blunt honesty that goes over their stupid heads?

Taken from FB.  Three things I don't like when talking to me:

1.) Don't talk to me like I'm your child.

2.) Don't talk to me like I'm supposed to be scared of you.

3.) And never try to talk to me like I'm stupid.

Coworker I don't have much to do with: Hi I'm giving you my official notice, I'm leaving the end of January. Me and my partner are moving to Perth.

Bosses: How dare you!! After all we've done for you over the years! Please sit while we manipulate you into staying using guilt and shame, and we'll make sure others in the office are disappointed in you too


The bosses mentality just boggles the mind. This is what I will need to mentally prepare for :zombiefuck:

Little lost fluffball dog we brought into the house has a chip, but the owner/guardian is not available to phoning, yet.

Humane Society wanted me to leave her with them, but I refused. I left my number in case they find the owner and took her back home with me.

We may have three dogs as things move along. Gonna be really tough to give her up.

My niece fosters lost and stray animals all the time. She has ten or twelve dogs at times, then lets them go to good homes. I don't know how she can do tthat!

Kidding. I actually love licorice, too.

Not the same at all, but flavored similarly; I have successfully grown large fennel plants and it makes fish and chicken come alive on the grill.

Good night, children.......so at Rochester walmart, they are renovating the rear of the store bathroom.  Which leaves only the front bathroom to use.  I literally spend 15-20 minutes a night running to use it.  Old age bladder and all that jazz!  Anyway, I get in and start my business, and this "younger" man comes out of the stall and starts complaining to ME about the lack of hooks to hang a coat on in the stall.  For the record I am wearing my vest and name tag since I am on the clock.  Anywho, I just stay silent and do my business as he goes on and on about the lack of hooks to hang a coat on in the stall.  I thought about saying, "Your complaining to the WRONG person at the WRONG time.  Talk to a manager."  But, instead I just do my business and NOT respond.  Figuring anything I said would just escalate the situation.  He finally shuts up, and I finish, wash my hands and LEAVE ASAP.  Just another Saturday evening at the temple of the walton clan.   OY

Well, looks like December is turning into the grieving month.  Word just reached Carla that her MIL from her first marriage just died before xmas.  90 y/o with heart problems.  Carla is distraught.  Sheila was a wonderful person and her family accepted me unconditionally as Carla's next husband.  Over the years of our marriage, we visited them in Alberta Canada and they shared with us their lives and wonders of the Province.  They adopted Amber as a grandchild like one of their own.  Like my late friend, Sheila was a lover of life, spreading optimism and love every where she went.  another force of nature in her own quiet calm way.  With the pandemic still raging it looks unlikely for us to go there and meander thru the maze of restrictions that cross border travel is dealing with.  We lit a candle for her, drank a toast to her beautiful spirit and reminisced.

An old farmer got pulled over by a young state trooper for speeding. The trooper, fresh on the job, decided to throw his weight around and started lecturing the farmer about his speed. He did his best to make the farmer feel uncomfortable but eventually got around to writing the ticket.

As he wrote, he had to swat at several flies that were buzzing around his head.
"Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" asked the farmer.
The trooper stopped writing the ticket and looked up. "Well yeah, if that's what they are," he said. "I never heard of circle flies, though."
"Oh, they're pretty common on farms," said the farmer. "We call 'em circle flies because they're always circling around the back end of a horse."

"I see," said the trooper as he continued writing the ticket. All of a sudden, he stopped and looked up at the farmer. "Hey...wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse's ass?"
"Oh no, officer," replied the farmer. "I have far too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horse's ass."
"Well, that's a good thing," said the trooper as he resumed writing the ticket.

After a long pause, the farmer continued. "Hard to fool them flies, though."

"No thanks," said the young man. "My father wouldn't like it."
"Don't be silly," the minister said.
"Everyone is entitled to a break. Come and have a drink of water."
Again the young man protested that his father would be upset. Losing his patience, the clergyman said, "Your father must be a real slave driver. Tell me where I can find him and I'll give him a piece of my mind!"
"Well," replied the young farmer, "he's under the load of hay."

It's still long, with split ends everywhere. The black faded long ago, now it's back to brown with scattered greys in there.

I'm ready. I'm anticipating the shocked reaction from everyone else and that's making me hesitant
I had a haircut on Thursday. Now I have a fringe (it sort of goes off to the sides because I have cowlicks).  The split ends were also cut off. And nobody has said a thing.

Not as drastic as a full shave though! Please post a pic of it?

I can post some before hair pics.
The problem is my trichotillomania  that I've had for like 25 years now. Right now I still have a big frizzy chunk of hair that's several inches shorter than the rest, and I have this curly cowlick on one side of my front hairline atm, all regrowth from hair pulling. I suppose I could get something like a wolf cut or subtle mullet but that costs money.

Right now I'm thinking about yesterday being my Second Life 15th Rezz Day, and if I should celebrate by actually logging in.

Yes, before hair pics please. :)

I must admit, I don't understand hair pulling very well. This is coming from someone who doesn't even pluck eyebrows.  I do try to get the silver hairs at the top of my head but I don't like doing it. Twenty five years is a long time. Do you know what triggered it?

Thinking about the German stamps I couldn't get out of the old album. They ended up ripping. I forgot that I have some stamps with Hitler on them. I wonder if they're worth anything.

Yeah, our daughter, Amber, has trichotillomania since she was dx'd with AS and ADD.  It was a struggle for all of us at first, but over the years its become as just something that's a part of her.  I just have to make it a point to do a major vacuuming of her room once in a while to dehair it.  It's an unconscious thing on her part, like a stim.

For three straight years a young attorney had been taking his brief vacations at the same country inn, once per year. During his last visit he'd finally managed to seduce the innkeeper's gorgeous daughter, so he couldn't wait to go there again.
Looking forward to an exciting few days, he dragged his suitcase up the stairs of the inn, then stopped short. There sat his lover with an infant on her lap!
"Helen, why didn't you write when you learned you were pregnant?" he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married, and the baby would have my name!"
"Well," she said, "when my folks found out about us and that I was pregnant, we sat up all night talking and talking and decided it would be better to have a bastard in the family than a lawyer."

Oh god. I don't bother buying vacuums with a turbo brush nozzle because the hair gets all tangled in them, and then when I pull the nozzle apart to get all the hair out I can't put it back together properly :laugh:
I'm literally stimming with my hair as I type this, trying to find the really wiry curly strands. The silver strands are a pulling temptation too.
There aren't any hairdressers here who have heard of trich. One time I went, the hairdresser pointed all the short regrowth out and loudly asked in a salon full of customers "Where did all this come from?"

I don't use the brush just the open tube sucking it all in.  As for hairdressers, the ones around us know trich very well.

I say do you.  :thumbup: When we first did the girl's room in our old house, we were picking out carpet and the sales guy pointed out they had a highly discounted remnant roll the perfect size for the room. It was pink. The walls were already painted, so we said no, no way will there be a room with pink walls and pink carpet. She ran over and hugged the roll of pink carpet and shouted, "I want this one!". So, guess what our house had.  :lol1:

An oldie but goody.

Lady approaches her priest and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing." "What do they say, my child?" the priest inquired.

"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Want to have some fun?"

"That's terrible!" the priest .... exclaimed, "But I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots, whom I taught to pray and read the Bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn to praise and worship."

"Thank You!" the woman responded.

The next day the woman brings her female parrots to the priest's house. His two male parrots are reading bible and praying in their cage. The lady puts her two female parrots in the cage with the two male parrots and the female parrots say "Hi! We're prostitutes. Want to have some fun?" One male parrot looks at the other and exclaims, "Put the bibles away! Our prayers have been answered!!"

This grey has a green-ish teal-ish undertone to it.

I painted my last place a creamy beige colour, but mostly because it was a colour that co-ordinated with everything.
The walls in my new place are similar to that but a bit lighter, with a darker beige on the trim. I assume the old man that lived here prior was the one who picked that colour scheme. It seems like the colour scheme an old man would pick :P

That sounds like taupe. That's the color of my new towels. I had a narrow range of color choice because I wanted the big fluffy oversized bath sheets. Sugarbutt preferred brown or tan but I didn't. There were only two grays, one was way too dark and the other was so light it looked more like a dingy white than a gray. We landed on the taupe, not too dark and not too light, not really brown and not really gray.  :lol1:

Carrying on from my neighbours cutting down the privacy hedges, I'm trying to plan how to get more private curtains whilst not letting my current sheer pencil pleats go to waste. I could swap them for blockouts but that is expensive, and I'd feel the need to have sheers behind them anyway (rod pocket ones).
So I'm wondering if it's a faux pas to have solid/non-sheer curtains on those extendable tension rods BEHIND my current sheers.

Update; curtains now look kinda adorable, with a baby blue blockout and a cream sheer overlay.
I wasn't going for baby blue but they were chucking them out at Big W for $20 a pair. By no means fashionable, but I tend towards the nanna aesthetic :P
The curtain rods look kinda whoopy though, as the rods I got couldn't hold the weight so I had to bodge things.

What's the nanna aesthetic?  :orly: I think the blue might be fashionable. Light blue seems to have been an accent color trend for a while, baby blue, light turquoise, seafoam green, I call it tiffany box blue. I notice it a lot and I remember once thinking it might be popular because it looks really good online.  :thumbup:

I have stopped with the over the face shield over my mask, used mainly for my own benefit - reminding me to NOT TOUCH MY FACE OR RUB MY EYES before I get to scrub my possibly exposed or even contaminated hands and arms.

I keep several sanitizers in my car, but all in plastic zip bags. Those damn cheap tubes they use leak like Hell! Some days I open my car and a tube has leaked out and my car smells like three drunks are passed out in the back seat and one of them puked up wine or maybe pancakes.

Some days I open my car and a tube has leaked out and my car smells like three drunks are passed out in the back seat and one of them puked up wine or maybe pancakes. Why do they even add scents to that stuff, anyway? :dunno: :dunno:

Illinois, so basically I'm a next door neighbor

All the time.
It would usually be about personal stuff, but, when I joined this site, I made a promise to myself to keep it clean from the nonsense most try to portray themselves as being, such as the exagerated granduer (we've had some of those folk come and go, here) often turned into troll bait. Just wanted to open up to a community that shared similar daily toils and see what happens. I chose this group of misfits as a kind of extended family. Pretty sure I am not the only one who feels similarly.

When I signed up here, my kids were in first grade and kinder and we as a family were struggling with the autism paradigm. We would go to a kid park and when my kids tried to interact with others' kids, mom's would gather up thier kids and leave.
Now they're both drinking age, still living with us, but we had all kinds of trouble finding any help online for what we had just learned a few years before was not as uncommon as many think.

So, if I tell you we went to the park for a picnic and bike ride, it is for real and my impressive sound system is actually real and I can make your pant legs flap with my own designed and hand-built-by-me bi-amped subwoofer system, or that my classic car is costing me a fortune to store safely until I can enjoy it more, that is for real.
 
Sometimes I post about daily life and later think that I was stupid; no one esle wants to deal with this shit.

I probably did it again. :lol1:

Haven't experienced doubting writing something, but have stumbled across old posts and found some of them incomprehensible. Occasionally have mental glitches when writing, missing/omitting words, transposing words, using incorrect words, repeating/stuttering phrases, ending questions with a period, and omitting the letter s from the ending of plural words. It goes unnoticed at the time and often unnoticed upon immediately re-reading, but seeing it later has made it very questionable how anyone understood what was said. :laugh:

Every now and then I stumble across my old writings. I have a box of stuff that I unearthed when we had to move everything in the basement in order to fix the sewage piping, and in there were some courtesy copies of some of the magazines I used to write for. I'd wondered what had happened to those.

I didn't check the articles I wrote, I just put them back and right now, I've already lost sight of the box. :laugh:

One of our old co-posters had a siggy that read something like (paraphrasing):

Odeon, when the LOL is over, find the box. You might be surprised at what you can learn from finding reminders of what you used to be. Many would call me full of shit on that notion (because those youngsters still remember everything), but none of us have really changed much, we only adapted to life as it came in full measure, disrupting our "Best Laid Plans."

I still can't nail down the specs for the computer I wanna build.
i5 12th gen or i7 11th gen? Going for a B660 or B560 motherboard chipsets respectively. Then I deep dived into the QVL lists for the MB's and got frustrated cos none of the RAM sticks I like are on them. Are they even relevant, or can I help myself to any DDR4 memory at a compatible speed and size? Would it void the MB warranty?  :headhurts:

Might have to choose a different MB that can support your RAM choice. But putting higher grade RAM into a system that does not know what to do with it will just compromise the RAM. Won't hurt the MB.
Good luck with this!

Good luck.

Google issues with the B560 motherboards, I've heard mixed things.

We debated with the i7 when we did the boys 2 years back but went with a Ryzen 7 instead. No complaints.

I didn't find anything, only that MSI boards had issues. The 12th gen 1700 socket I originally planned was too new for there to be choices of aftermarket CPU coolers (not without buying some extra bracket anyway).

I've been learning a lot anyway. Even if it turns out to be a harshly expensive lesson lol.


New thing today: there's a job opening but it's like an hour's commute away. Wondering if I should just say screw it and apply. The extra pay would be eaten up by petrol ( or it could finance an EV purchase if high enough)  :orly:

I've been thinking about EV's lately, maybe going from my ICE extreme V8 to the opposite. You can't predict me at all  :zoinks:

An old music acquaintance called a bit ago to invite me out.
I've done all kinds of favors for him over the years and I think he feels he still owes me. He does not.

He knows I had worked with Megadeth in the long ago past.
He wants me to come with him in October when they come to town. He's already got several tickets. I might go, but ...  I was hesitating.

Megadeth was never one of my favorites, mainly because they couldn't seem to keep a band together. One fairly short tour we did, six stops, they had three different drummers. FUCK!  My job depended upon my becoming familiar with the band sound and it was often different. Made my job difficult, instead of enjoyable.
They were all capable drummers and knew the music, but as a band, they didn't seem like much of a "going concern" to put it mildly. It was troubling.

I heard the line up and the opening act is the one I really want to see.  It will be Five Finger Death Punch for the headliner, Megadeth (these guys are old!) and to open will be The Hu, FFS

Ever since I heard of this band I have wanted to see them!!! Not that popular, but imagine a Mongolian Folk/heavy metal band using traditional Mongolian instruments, along with all the typical heavy metal stuff. AND, opening for a heavy metal concert. About the best way to explain this band.

I might take the ticket afterall, just to see The Hu!
Five Finger is OK, too, though. 

I used to joke with co-workers, holding up Mariah Carey Christmas album for me, "Here ya GO!" at BBY, making fun of my age.
I told them that I would buy a Christmas album when Fiver Finger Death Punch released one.

That's my thinking as well. I should call him back today and take the ticket.

The concert is October 1, 2022. Hell, half our old runaround friends don't know how they will eat next week these days.
He still has the tickets. He had fifteen to share.
Thinking I'll take one.

The Hu are fricking awesome. I would go, just to see them.

That's my thinking as well. I should call him back today and take the ticket.

The concert is October 1, 2022. Hell, half our old runaround friends don't know how they will eat next week these days.
He still has the tickets. He had fifteen to share.
Thinking I'll take one.

I called him back. He emailed me two tickets, other one is for my daughter. It will be our fifth father/daughter concert together.

Honestly, to me,  it is now more about that fact, than the concert.
Still anxious to go, but who is this lucky??!!?

You know how sometimes you get a song in your head that won't go away?

Hardly ever fun, even when you like the song, but when it persists (for months in this case), I wonder ... is my mind trying to tell me to do something?

... or is it me doing what the song suggests and my mind is dancing around, happy about it?

Not sure if it depends on the song, but why is it stuck there?

Had not thought of this untll I looked at the emergency room bill today. They finally sent me the bill this week.

I broke my arm on 2-2-22

Yeah they are billing me for the part the insurance did not cover. I owe $8.61 for the emergency room supplies. Already paid $40 to my doctor and over $30 to the therapist.

BUT, you look at what WAS covered by the insurance we have and good GOD this was an expensive booboo.

Awesome!

I seem to be going the other way. I have gained eight pounds since I broke my arm.
Honestly, I don't walk as much. Can't say why. I guess I am just feeling defeated a bit and don't have the will power.

That would be wrong to do, but I fear it is true. One thing worse than being a lazy ass is being a defeated lazy ass.

Wondering how I can encourage crush boi to realise he's asexual so that he can tell the truth, instead of him using extreme pessimism and bad attitude to drive people (as in girls) away.

There's another girl buzzing around his perimeter seemingly not taking no for an answer.

I got my yearly flu injection on Tuesday and on Wednesday night felt like I was getting the flu! I had a headache, felt queasy and sore all over which was the worst part. I went to bed feeling very sorry for myself. Thankfully I woke up feeling better. I've never had that reaction to a flu injection before.

That is one of the side effects of vaccines.  The fact that your symptoms were brief says it was working.  It does vary according to the strength of the vaccine.

I'm very glad the symptoms went away overnight. My doctor told me that there were three types of flu in the vaccine. So it was a strong one indeed.

It was something I felt the need to do.  Since reconciling in life was not in the cards.  I had ample evidence that I was in for a hellish guilt trip if I tried.  I went with my gut on this and left the gravesite without a backward glance or regret.  Glad my wife was supportive for to me.  She had done her research into Borderline Personality Mothers, talk about a blinding revelation.

Good night, children........just finished watching an original Outer Limits episode, "The man with the power" about a meek, mild college professor given incredible mental powers from a brain implant devised to help astronauts harvest essential minerals from space.  Unfortunately, these powers also tap into his inner rage, hate and frustration and allow his subconscious to destroy all that he rages against.  When he finally sees what he has become he destroys himself.  In the 50's there was a movie "Forbidden Planet" that has Earth Scientist land on a planet of an extinct race who also developed great mental powers.......unfortunately, they also didn't understand the "mindless primitive" of hate, rage and that inner rage tapped into their power and they were wiped out.  We all have that inner rage, anger and mindless desire to destroy.....look at all our world wars, look at the Ukraine and putin, trump, the domestic terrorists, al queda, etc.........I weep for humanity and the world Amber is going into........I wish I had that power, to destroy evil.....but, I wonder....would it stop there.............

Cat is now at the vet and having a sleepover there. Tomorrow, 'surgery' to remove her poo, because apparently two enemas didn't work.
I'm not sure what it entails.
I'm supposed to go away this weekend overnight but I can't leave her at home if she has stitches or a cone of shame on.

I haven't been this worried about a child of mine since that dealership tried to hijack my car to take to a backyard panel beater.
Who knows maybe the vets will arrive in the morning and find a kaleidoscope of poo all over her little cage :poo:

No idea what the cause was. Her blood and urine tests came back ok. I have to mix a laxative powder in her food and I just found some wet food with pumpkin in it at Coles (pumpkin gets things moving or so I've googled). The vet said to ditch the dry food in favour of more wet, but if I do that I know the next thing they'll want to do is charge me hundreds for a teeth scale & clean ::)

She's improved muchly over the weekend where I left her at home. Found a few poos in her litter and her low blood sugar shakes from not eating/drinking have disappeared.

I think my son wants to go hunting.
He has bought himself a huge Bowie knife based kit, a hatchet, some camping gear, including sub zero sleeping bag, survival necessities, including good boots and some thermals.

For Father's Day, he got me an awesome, real, mansized skinning knife, better than the one I made out of a German kitchen blade many years ago. I asked if he knew what this blade was made for. He said he knew it was for game.

I might need to look at licensing for the fall. It's been seven years since I took deer and filled the freezers.
He and I have talked about it for a while.
This has come out of the blue.
I mean we always talk about stuff and he has become a proficient and safe weapons handler, but he still can't shoot for shit. That takes time and experience.
I thought maybe my buying this slug gun made for hunting deer might have changed something, but his mom said he bought that skinning knife for me while I still had my cast on my arm, three months ago

We need some more range time before he is ready to kill! Also, you have to break something gentle inside you before you can do this for real. It's not easy!

But now he seems to be making preparations for an outing. I need to quit screwing around with my music stuff and give his needs some attention.

Back to my last post about my son and his gathering of blade related weaponry ...

I have been showing him deeply, deeply how to sharpen the things he has bought. Not sure why anyone needs to shave with a hatchet, but he can now demonstrate. Then we go use it for chopping, splitting and he has learned to restore the edge where he can shave again.

I'm not sure where we're going with all this, but helping him to understand how to maintain his new gear seemed like a roadway we could manage for now.

Best I can do for now. We can not go hunting for big game until fall. I don't really want to, but he does and if I don't share my wisdom, I fail as a father.
I have all of it, but he wants it all and more.
Too late to erase anything. He has seen it work for the family as a child and he's smart. He wants to know what to do.
Killing is hard.

Sitting on my deck, sipping a glass of brandy and I am so fascinated by watching the Bumblebees flitting and lighting on the flowers of the Basil.  If any insect is Buddha like, it's Bumblebees.  They bump into each other, fly from flower to flower, and when they bump each other.  It looks like "Oops, pardon me.  I'll go check out this other flower."  And the other will do the same.....no conflict.  But, they follow their path.  It's almost like they are saying Namaste and honoring each other for being who they are.  Even the little tiny bees are given a berth.  Bumblebees have checked me out when I disturb them watering the plants.  No big deal,  more like "Thank you, for providing us this flowering plant."  This is how I roll, I do my thing and everybody else does theirs, "Pardon me if we bump into each other."  "We're good", no conflict.  I avoid conflict whenever I can.  But, like the Bumblebee, I carry a stinger and will only use it as a last resort.  Trust me I have been stung by Bumblebees.  And it was only because I was ignorant and pushed them to their limit.  Now we accept each other and I am happy to see them going on about their business and doing their part in this every increasingly cruel world.  Nature always gives me peace.

^ That would be a favour for him, not a punishment.
He's the only accountant working full time in the other office with like, 2 rooms full of work backlog. I can only help with so much of it.
Sacking him would leave them with nobody to get the work done. So instead it's in their best interest to attach the ball & chain and make him feel hopeless and trapped there.
I dunno what final straw he's waiting for. He's 10 times more miserable working with the firm than I am, yet he won't get his CV together and go out there to find a positive change.
I've been trying to encourage him but he just makes up excuses.

It's strange to have a secure job yet wish it wasn't. "We want you here in the long term"; Well I contest the length of that sentence, Your Honor!

Secure jobs are a blessing and a curse. The latter happens when they want you to stay indefinitely and think they own you.

I'm an independent contractor and I'm very lucky in that my services are sought after. I'm an expert in a suitably esoteric yet central set of standards. In practical terms it means that I can tell a client to fuck off, these days, if they are being stupid enough. Also in practical terms, I mostly never do because I like my job and I do sympathise with their plight.

Something just doesn’t feel right... no matter how I try to pinpoint that negative feeling. While I was tossing and turning in my sleep not realizing I slept past noon; I dreamt that I saw words on the wall that simply said “Text me”

I woke up feeling freaked out... because I remember a certain story in the Book of Daniel that my mother used to read to me and my sister... the story was to do with a message being written on the walls of Babylon. Only instead of Babylon it was the roots of my subconscious.

I checked my mobile device, and I instantly figured out the source... the source was my ex-girlfriend telling me that the third party quote on quote “needs me”.
For those of you who are not clear on this situation...

I’ve been disconnected from these individuals for about a year; because a third party is obsessed with me, whereas my ex who gave me mixed signals/messages is the third party's “human proxy”.
Human proxies are much different than regular proxies you see on pieces of technology, they’re the messengers asked by the third party to speak on their behalf.

Why this happens to me is not as unclear as it used to be... but once I told my mother of this situation, she, as well as my contact in Norway agree that it’s emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and stalking.

What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Took up two stray kittens for temporary fostering. They seem to be about three months old and both are gorgeous. One ginger and one black, both tabby tiger cats, possibly sisters.
 
I made a promise to my wife, "No more cats."  She hates cats; I love them. We've hade three since she first expressed her need to be away from cats and that was twenty five years ago. She brought home two of them!

I lost my sweet Neena last year (14 yr old best friend) and she knows how much I miss my cats.
She does this cat tolerance thing in keeping with her love for me. But, I made a promise to her.

We are not keeping them. I am just getting them to safety in the next few days.

They are fucking awesome tiny beasts!!!

... but, no!

I got them both into good homes. I could not keep them together, but they will both have good lives with the families I chose for them.

I had taken them to the vet to have them checked for worms, diseases and get their shots. All I asked was for them to pay for the $40 series of shots. Spaying is up to the new guardians if they choose.
It is actually beneficial to have that done before maturity, if they don't want a litter of kittens for themselves first.
Many do.

Kittens are becoming a bit rare these days except for the abused, barely alive or neglected ones available from the shelters.

This felt like the right thing to do!
I already miss them!!

I don't think there's much cause for concern. Them Mountbattens have a tendency towards life longevity. The Queen served for as long as she could stand up out of bed. I'm anticipating 15-20 years out of Charles if he sticks to the same standard. The Queen willed herself to stay with us long enough to make sure Boris Johnson was gone :P

I got out my digital SLR, my old 600mm lens, tripod and some bags of shot for weight to steady the tripod.
This used to be my nature photography rig. I never carried shot when I was hiking, but found some rocks usually to steady things.

I am a little out of practice though and I seem to have lost a degree of patience, but I've gotten several really nice close ups of my birds. They are SO healthy right now!
Doves, starlings, cardinals, hummingbirds, barn swallows, chipmunks, squirrels and even some beautiful crows that frequent my free food deli. I never had crows until I put out some squirrel corn, though.

I have not played camera games like this in quite a while.

I saw an interesting thing to do on Facebook in response to an incoming storm and possible power cuts. They said to go to Wal-Mart (but over here in Australia it would most likely be Bunnings) and buy a few outdoor solar lights. Leave them outside during the day to "charge" and on a stormy night bring them in and there you have light inside your house. No fussing with candles and torches (flashlights).

Is Yoshi a very vocal cat? Rowan sometimes gets going at night time when he doesn't want to use his litter tray and would prefer to go outside. He goes about the house meowing loudly. He also has some funny sounding meows when he wants to play.

He's very vocal since his surgery. Now he's out of the cone, and is very happy.

Secure jobs are a blessing and a curse. The latter happens when they want you to stay indefinitely and think they own you.

I'm an independent contractor and I'm very lucky in that my services are sought after. I'm an expert in a suitably esoteric yet central set of standards. In practical terms it means that I can tell a client to fuck off, these days, if they are being stupid enough. Also in practical terms, I mostly never do because I like my job and I do sympathise with their plight.

You have not been home enough to even break in your new (months old) subwoofer lately.

I have had to "fire" clients before. I then go back to the basic reasons for doing business together if they want continued service.  Policies first, then we try again.

On the contrary, I work from home and my subwoofer is used daily.

It's fickin' awesome. The musicality alone, it's amazing. The size of my system is just perfect. The speakers are quite small, as is the sub, and the system is not in any way out of the ordinary.

But together, they bring a balance almost unheard of.

It's all fed from a laptop, but via a hi-def player and DAC, so nothing passes through the laptop's rubbish sound card, and again the setup is beyond belief. The balance is very, very precise, which is practically unheard of when producing sounds from a laptop. It's all stunningly good.

It's almost like an analogue system. For a daily driver, it's amazing.

Republicans have changed their stripes dramatically since the '50s!

It was General/President Eisenhower, a renowned Republican of old, who offered the concept that if we tax the most wealthy at the highest rates, that will lead to the largest, most profitable corporations and individual entities investing more into research and development moving industry forward, increased wages for the workers to help in escaping tax burdens, greater charitable donations to non profit organizations including housing for the less capable, medical and health resources advanced, parks and wildlife services fully funded, and in general, Taxing will keep that money right here at home working to move our nation forward.

(I have paraphrased)
Hardly a Globalist, but there is some wisdom there!

A quote referring to the Mid Term elections during his presidency:

 "I have just one purpose ... and that is to build up a strong progressive Republican Party in this country. If the right wing wants a fight, they are going to get it ... before I end up, either this Republican Party will reflect progressivism or I won't be with them anymore."

What the fuck happened?

I want our Old Replublicans back!

Show me an Eisenhower to vote FOR, instead of a thousand horror ridden communists who are now free to fuck up this country even more than it already is!

Show me someone to vote FOR, instead of AGAINST!

Check the differences in income tax averages for the very upper wealthy from the '50s compared to current times.
It is no wonder why the BIG money is being exported, all the while we are in debt up to our great, great grandchildren's eyeballs.


Not 100% sure the current reflects accuracy, but the trend is obvious.

Today's Republicans are of little value to anyone. There was a time when I thought they would at least respect the principles of democracy and your constitution, but it's been quite a while since. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Personally I think you have some catch-up to do with the EU. The union is far from perfect but the differences within the union are far less than the divide in the US.

That Divide that many do not even want to admit to, is something that we all need to talk about and work through.

Today's Republicans are the opposite of some I have admired from the past. Again, no one to vote FOR.

While waiting for glue to dry at times, I've been toying with some perfunctory wood carving using my simple power tools. Grinder, Dremel, jigsaw, adapted hand held blades, etc. I've carved a bird, bunny and a deer.
My wife collects Nutcrackers and has many!

I mentioned one day that she has Bakers, Blacksmiths, Drummers, Cowboys, Heralders, Fishermen, Soldiers of all manner, French, English, Viking, German, Samarai, Celt, etc, but nothing even resembling African.

As I said, "toying" with the idea that if I do not have to make it fully functional as a nutcracker (many of hers are not functional, just decorative) I can probably carve one out and with her help we can decorate it to resemble a Mandinka or Zulu warrior. I even think a masked "mudman" look might be kind of cool.

The form will not be hard at all to carve out, but the detailed decoration will make or break the project.

I've been researching African ceremonial dress and war ready accoutrement's of the many cultures I can find. Choosing ONE will be difficult.

It might be a fun project, but open a can of worms I did for sure!

We have Disney+ mainly because we wanted to see all the new Star Wars stuff.
But I never wanted to be without my Marvel either, once they bought everything under the sun.

Anyway, trying to watch X-Men from the first was a no go. The first one is not available.  :dunno:
I mean I have it in a bluray collection, but that's on the shelf. I wanted to use my remote to start a small binge watch with the kids.

OH, NO! This started a full on "thing."  We can not start with the second movie!
We must watch the first one first!

"OK, so go grab the collection and we'll watch it off the discs instead."

Well they can not find it after about five minutes, panic is rising exponentially in the household, but then, I am "The Finder" and I had not tried yet. I wanted to use the fucking remote and take advantage of our (EXPENSIVE) subscription service we've already paid for.

Anyway, calamitous episode averted. I found the collection in about a minute. It was out of place, but I recognize things by patterns.

Massive upset did not happen, except for a few minutes.
I came out to puff my pipe for a minute in the middle of the second movie and just shake my head a bit.

Close one!

Note to self......When you have the winter blahs big time, you should NOT, I repeat NOT be reading books about the trial and tribulations and horrific tragedies of early polar explorations.  Put the books down on the bottom of the reading pile and wait till summer.  You will thank me later.  Now go read something warm and soothing like the history of a volcanic disaster in a tropical part of the world.  Atta Boy! :P

Watching the Super Bowl beginning and I was blown away by the Chris Stapleton solo electric guitar rendition of the National Anthem.  It was soulful, proud, yet beautifully understated.  Great style, not blown out to ear splitting levels by mariah carey wannabes.  People were actually crying while he was playing it.  Soulful!  The best I have ever heard and that says a lot. 8)

Mine has some kind of "smart" ambient light intensity correction built in that changes the parameters of the display when the lights in the room change.
Fortunately, I can disable it.

I keep mine locked in my own preferred manual setting that is pleasant to my eyes, at my distance, with my normal, diffused ambient lighting.
If something too "off" comes up, I either tolerate it for a minute or click past it.

Nothing is more satisfying than seeing karma come to pass on a jerk.  In this case, a former supervisor of mine at walmart, who treated me like shit, mocked me and tried to get me off the team.  She got demoted and I am still there.  Today, I was working in an aisle getting stuff ready to be put out to the floor.  She was also there, looking fat, tired and miserable.  She had to work around me and I ignored her, I said nothing when she spoke to me.  I refused to acknowledge her existence, she has become irrelevant!  Karma is good!   8)

I could get in based on experience but I'd need my current employers cooperation to sign the declaration thingo.

In a school that made headlines in 2015 for rejecting two students because they had two dads. Saying "homosexuality is an example of 'lifestyle conduct' it does not accept."

Agreed and it has already.

"She"  was supposedly going to commit suicide, but had not the courage to just place "her" own gun in "her" own ear and listen for the click.

Blaming the gun is moronic! THE Gun was the only thing in this horrible scenario that met its required purpose!!
Being misused by a troubled human was not what it was meant to do.

Society failed here on so many levels.

One point seldom mentioned is that the percentage of dramatically troubled humans has skyrocketed in recent years.

How about we address THAT as an actual issue?

I was also raised in a Christian environment, but I was not taught to hate or exclude, but rather the actual Christ message of forgive and embrace.

The notion of "If you're not with us, you're against us" within parts of the Christain religion sects are just as toxic as the accused Muslim jihadists who say something similar.

What happened?  (money)  The message was lost!

Talk about an intrusive thought from long ago.  Back in the 70's in college part 1, a story idea came to me.  I went to a great pizza place/bar, ordered a pizza and sat down and began to write.........I was alone of course.....and some A'HOLE comes up to me and asks if "I need to talk".  Now to give you the perspective of the time, there were a number of jesus freak cults running around the campus as well as hare krishnas and unification church cult trying to recruit vulnerable people in a predatory fashion.  So I immediately went into defensive mode.  He says "I look like I needed company"......I wasn't drinking, I was hungry and had paper in front of me and was writing furiously as the ideas came to me.  I said no, politely but firmly.  But long story short, I lost my story train of thought and never got it back.....Thanks douche bag!   :finger:  Anyway, the thought has come back and I'm not sure I can get it back as I envisioned it.  <sigh>

True, but I doubt that someone going in and shooting up a school would be back burnered by the Huntley-Brinkley Report, ever. Cronkite would have been on that like a robin on a worm and NEVER let it go.
Do you think Barbara Walters would have let that slide, let alone Peter Jennings?
BTW, all those are "trusted" names I became an adult listening to in order to get an inkling of what I had missed while working.

There was plenty to talk about every night, but no one heard anything about this level of BS going on these days.

So, yeah, I think something has changed and we are hearing about.

How do we fix this?

I read that the parents of this latest murderer sat and watched while he rejected his gender, blamed everyone around him for lying to him and over a short period of time, watched him buy seven different guns legally.
Maybe ask a question or two? Call for professional help?
I know he was their son, but possibly commit the bastard to constant care and have him assessed?

Everyone needs to stop knee jerking, blaming the wrong thing and have a good look at this crap.

I don't want just any third party to pop up out of nowhere though.... it has to be one with a clear objective that people would agree to, and not the other way around... the other way around was what happened in Europe within 1933 (years before was their first coup-attempt).

He identified as transgender, according to the LinkedIn pronouns, apparently.

Now that dipshit Benny Johnson is demonizing transgenders on twitter about it -_-

I can understand the feeling of persecution with Christians after being raised in that environment... but to claim that it was Christian Persecution is just crying foul.

I was also raised in a Christian environment, but I was not taught to hate or exclude, but rather the actual Christ message of forgive and embrace.

The notion of "If you're not with us, you're against us" within parts of the Christain religion sects are just as toxic as the accused Muslim jihadists who say something similar.

What happened?  (money)  The message was lost!

It's always money that's involved... money talks -__-

Get rid of the guns already...and close these toxic AF "Christian schools" while you're at it.

That's not going to happen as easily :(

Especially with the GOP and it's MAGAites having close ties with those Christian groups

We need a powerful Third Party made up of WE The People, with teeth and claws that represent what the every day people, living for a wage, raising a family, trying to buy a home, making a life they choose, doing everything they can to better their way of life ... in other words a powerful political party capable of reinstating "The American Dream" for all and for ALL.

I want someone and some things to vote FOR instead of wasting my votes to be AGAINST something clearly wrong!

I just do not know where to start.

I don't want just any third party to pop up out of nowhere though.... it has to be one with a clear objective that people would agree to, and not the other way around... the other way around was what happened in Europe within 1933 (years before was their first coup-attempt).

The coup attempt in the states was 1-6-2021... I might be overthinking these parallels here though -_-

Yeah, you got it.

That is why I said a party made up of WE The People.
And fuck it! We do not have to agree on every point. That is why we have Congress. Although, Congress should not be thought of as a career!! Term limits and prosecution for buying and selling things that you are regulating, blah, blah, blah!


Just that enough people wanting to save what is left of this country to agree on a few basic steps forward.

How do we fix this?

Lots of things come to mind:

Gun control. You do not need that many guns, so there needs to be checks in place, regardless of my next point.

Stop guns already! You've misread that amendment, and besides it was written by people who thought slaves were fine. Do you thinks ideas are static?

And no, mentally unstable people should not be allowed to have guns! (Also, blind people should not have them either.)

Stop those churches! This will affect both guns and transgender issues. Actually, stop religions. This will be a huge win. We can then argue about ancient aliens instead.

Your kid is going to be different from you, but it's still your kid! FFS, regardless of your thoughts about pronouns and whatnot, you might as well try to hold your breath to stop climate change (that could actually work if enough people did so over a period of time but that's beside the point). Your misread of that awful compilation for the third century will not make a difference.

I could go on.

I read that the parents of this latest murderer sat and watched while he rejected his gender, blamed everyone around him for lying to him and over a short period of time, watched him buy seven different guns legally.
Maybe ask a question or two? Call for professional help?
I know he was their son, but possibly commit the bastard to constant care and have him assessed?


Once they are over the age of 18, unless you can prove without a doubt they are a harm to themselves or others your hands are basically tied. Maybe you see a red flag and call someone...crisis comes out and they act completely fine...the call is dismissed, the same rights that protect our privacy protect them too. Some of these troubled adults were former troubled kids...they know how the system works, they know what to say, and how to act, and know exactly what their rights are.

There is without a doubt a huge mental health crisis in this country. If you can find care, you might not be able to afford it...and many times it takes a long time to find that counselor or medication that helps....that's if you don't walk away in frustration after going through 10 counselors and 5 different medications. In some areas like this one counselors don't stay...can't blame them, they can't make the money they would somewhere else, they get burnt out dealing with poverty stricken rednecks with drinking and drug issues. Hell I stopped going for anxiety/panic issues years ago because for awhile I couldn't see the same person twice and every new one wanted to switch around the meds that were helping at the time for something that made me feel worse.

I'm going to echo odeon somewhat I guess...

1. Gun control, and better vetting for those who want to purchase guns.
2. Health care..."quality" affordable, accessible mental health care for everyone that needs it.
3. Rural America has at least 5 churches in every town and you sometimes travel 20+ miles to find a hospital...yeah, religion can be a comfort to some...but it needs a house-cleaning and some clearly defined boundaries or it can become caustic AF and we are seeing that in real time right now. Honestly I think it needs a warning label like tobacco and shouldn't be taught until a child reaches age 18...and then as an elective course, too many extremists warping the crap out of their kids and placing the blame on books and video games.

Have a think about what a comfortable salary means for you before you get to an interview, making sure you know what your lower limit is. Do your research - Glassdoor, etc will be useful unless your role is a very unusual one. Then add 10-15% at the very least, more if you can't get a match when researching for what to ask for, but be thorough when investigating. Negotiate. Walk away if they offer less.

If they want you they will return with a counteroffer. If not, you didn't want it in the first place because you have standards.

I've been through the other side of job interviews more than my share lately, and while I have a decent idea of what a candidate will ask for - the numbers vary depending on location and experience, and sometimes other, more intangible skills - the fact is that the successful ones are the expensive ones. Don't ever be afraid to ask for what you think you are worth.

All the utility lines, gas service, electrical buried lines are marked due to "Metronet" installing new fiber optic internet hardware for the local burg.

Taking advantage of their hard work, I have maked out where I plan to put my Japanese maple tree and two mugo pine shrubs, soon.
Now I don't have to call for my own marking crew and wait a month.

You do not dare dig in this front yard, anywhere, since all the utilities are below ground.

After some discussion with Carla about finances and the stress (lately) about air travel, we have decided to NOT go to Florida for our annual trip.  Last year we got caught in a flight delay that nearly gave us heart attacks and we need to curb some spending in certain areas.  Looks like more road trips for vacations in the future.  Airlines are becoming less trustworthy and such.  It's hard to relax on vacation when the trip to and from on a plane causes sleepless nights.   >:(

Sawflies attack and infest every type of evergreen known around the world. They can become a problem.
However, the main deterrent is a population of birds feeding upon the larvae.
I had two five foot tall and five foot wide mugo pines in my old house and rarely ever see a sawfly larva.
Not really a problem here.

We have lots of birds here in Indiana and I attract even more to my yard by keeping other cover plants for the birds to find safety when foraging insects.

Mugo pines are fairly common here in yards and evergreens are everywhere. So are magpies. We do get sawflies according to the internet, but I think a mugo pine wouldn't be unique enough here to be likely to cause a new problem.

Sorry, haven't logged in the last few days.

Firstly, Hays are well known, they've been around. They'll probably know what they're on about but it is in their interest to get more from employers because they get a fee based on that.

I think if that's the number, then go for the upper limit if one was mentioned. The 5k difference there is a lot less than the 10-15%, so I'd ask for 90. Maybe a bit more in this day and age - prices are going up, not down.

But don't quote specific sites, just say you've "researched" it. Have them do their homework. If they have already, then you'll get an answer sooner.

We interviewed a project manager candidate whom we later rejected, not because he was bad but because others were better and we only had two positions to fill. He got a nice email from the office coordinator stating more or less that.

Interestingly, he replied back, offering us a deal. He'd work for free for 4-6 months to prove himself, and if we then thought he was good we'd hire him.

I don't like the idea but I like his attitude. The idea is bad because the work is not all that easy, it can be quite stressful depending on the project, and it's only fair to pay people well for what they do. The attitude is good, though, because it's a great "what if", and a terrific sales strategy because I am very unlikely to forget about him, and I will be tempted.

There's no decision yet, but I think his chances went up. I told the management that we should consider bringing him in but see if we can fill three positions.

If I connect something like this to the headphone socket of an old cassette player, and plug the other end into the audio/microphone (Mine is 2 in 1) socket in my laptop, will the audio transfer using proper software? Or can't it work? I'm guessing the way a microphone works is different to just audio in. My laptop hardly has any hardware ports of any kind, like a lot of laptops these days.

Are you running Windows (Ver?)?
It used to, back in the WinXP days, but I have not used Windows audio software in about twenty years. WMC used to recognize this and ask if you wanted to open a new audio file and begin recording.


You will need a "Record" function available from somewhere. You are asking your machine to "READ" from an analog source and convert it to a digital output.
Not sure if that is still a part of Windows. Older "Windows Media Center" had that available.

I think for best results, you will need a third party software application or you might need to upgrade your Windows Media install.

I have used Audacity (freeware) for many years for simple things like this.

I do almost the same thing using the output from my phono preamp straight into my sound card L&R inputs, completely different cabling, but the same exact process. I have to open a NEW FILE and tell Audacity where to find my connections, name the file and in seconds I am recording an analog LP into a FLAC digital or you can choose among many file types to create the type of file you need.

Here is a link to the software I use. Don't be put off by how damn much it CAN DO. It is very simple to operate if you just want to capture from one device to another, normally.

https://www.audacityteam.org/


BTW, I just opened my Windows Media Player preinstalled on my Windows 10 computer (probably for the first time) and there is no record function that I can find. Sorry.
You might need some third party software from somehwere if Windows Update does not offer an advanced media plugin for this use.

I have to open a NEW FILE and tell Audacity where to find my connections, name the file and in seconds I am recording an analog LP into a FLAC digital or you can choose among many file types to create the type of file you need.

Here is a link to the software I use. Don't be put off by how damn much it CAN DO. It is very simple to operate if you just want to capture from one device to another, normally.

BTW, I just opened my Windows Media Player preinstalled on my Windows 10 computer (probably for the first time) and there is no record function that I can find. Sorry.
You might need some third party software from somehwere if Windows Update does not offer an advanced media plugin for this use.


Hiya DirtDawg. :) Thank you for the well-thought out response. I am running Windows 11 Home. Are you saying that using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable; one end plugged into the microphone/headphone port of the laptop, the other end into the headphone port of the cassette player - will have the same effect as what you describe as output from your phono preamp straight into your sound card L&R inputs? I remember using Audacity years ago, probably in the XP days. I assume it's changed much since then.

Are you running Windows (Ver?)?
It used to, back in the WinXP days, but I have not used Windows audio software in about twenty years. WMC used to recognize this and ask if you wanted to open a new audio file and begin recording.


You will need a "Record" function available from somewhere. You are asking your machine to "READ" from an analog source and convert it to a digital output.
Not sure if that is still a part of Windows. Older "Windows Media Center" had that available.

I think for best results, you will need a third party software application or you might need to upgrade your Windows Media install.

Yeah, the cabling and hook up is different but the conversion process is the same. Don't focus on the cable much, as long as it works.

The obstacle you will have to overcome is the conversion process from an analog source (your old cassette player) to a digital file that a computer can use.

After a quick search I found a FAQ page with a couple of references to a Sound Recorder app for use in doing exactly what you might need; capturing from a microphone (or your cassette player) to store a digital file.

I did not search Windows Update for that app, because I do not want them to update me, right now.
:hide:

Since you are already using Win11, maybe Windows Update can help you if you don't want to install Audacity.

Ok, I'll write renovations details here:

Laundry sink replacement, bathroom vanity replacement and kitchen cupboards replacement all next Thursday, 27-4-23.

Tiling splashbacks all next Friday, 28-4-23.

Internal painting Tuesday, 6-06-23. May take 3 days to complete.

Vinyl tile flooring Thursday, 8-06-23. May take 3 days to complete.

I'm not looking forward to June.

Holy crap! What a nighmare. Paint and vinyl flooring mastics are horrible to smell. June will be ugly.
It will be awesome once it's all finished, though.
 :thumbup:
I'm concerned about the cats when it comes to the smell of paint and floor chemicals. I don't mind those smells. We'll be swapping the cats from bedroom to bedroom to hopefully keep them comfortable and not too scared with all the noise.

I can't wait for a new kitchen.

Great job keeping your furry friends in mind. They will suffer more than you know with thier abode being invaded by strangers, making noise.

My "late" kitty was terrified from just having a washer and dryer delivered. When they did the roof a couple of years before, it was two days of noisy terror for her.
Poor baby! She stayed very close to me.

If I connect something like this to the headphone socket of an old cassette player, and plug the other end into the audio/microphone (Mine is 2 in 1) socket in my laptop, will the audio transfer using proper software? Or can't it work? I'm guessing the way a microphone works is different to just audio in. My laptop hardly has any hardware ports of any kind, like a lot of laptops these days.

A Walkman would have terrible s/n ratio, and the curve is nowhere near flat. You'll get your audio across but it's not going to be brilliant.

I'm guessing about the same. The headphone connector would be about the same, but the amps aren't great, your sound card isn't great, and the impedances differ. The problem is that you're mixing apples and oranges.

I must stress that a Walkman was an amazing piece of kit in its day. It's just that your laptop sound card is not made for that input, and you don't have anything to compensate for the differences.

I still have my Nakamichi dual cassette deck, which was a pretty good choice for the format in those days. I also remember it is very heavy.
I don't even remember when I plugged it in last. It's boxed up in the attic.
I kept about fifty cassettes.
I'm not sure why.
Title: Re: Post what you are thinking right now, part two
Post by: DirtDawg on April 22, 2023, 09:58:03 PM
As far as being honest with myself, I should just get rid of that tape deck and the cassettes I kept along with a lot more stuff.

I mean I have four eighteen inch JBLs I will probably never use again, in addition to maybe thirty fifteen inchers, six twelves and I don't even know how many tens I have hoarded/stored and quite a few horns, multitudes of electronics that only work in a vintage system.

There is no reason to keep any of it these days.
I have my massive mono stack I always wanted set up (but buried by albums and CDs right now), all my "H Frame" dipole drivers. Maybe keep some of the Dayton and the Jamo (I will challenge anyone to keep pissing on Jamo drivers the way they do, after hearing how I have them set up. These things kick ass in an infinite baffle or open baffle configuration - pre Klipsch!), incase I want to change it up a bit, but seriously, WTF am I doing hoarding so much!?!

What I watched my friend's widow, June going through last month to get her husband's things removed from her life finally after over a year of deliberation and anxiety so she could sell the home they built together. All the while she was needing some outside help. I do not want to burden my family with these mountains of crap I have kept, "For No Reason."

I ended up with over two thousand of his most favored LPs that he had carefully cleaned thoroughly (from my initial inspection of about a hundred beautiful old records) protected with high quality inner sleeves and outers, placed them in specialized containers, catalogued them OCD-ishly, placed them carefully to be sold or dealt with thoughtfully, but then, he died. I was one on a list of trusted people he left for her to contact.

While I am the happenstance, temporary beneficiary of his ultimate collection, which I will enjoy for eons, I am afraid I will end up leaving some similar burden to my own family.
I mean no one even knows what half of my shit is, let alone what to do to organize a suitable disposal of the items with historical and archival significance I have gathered over a lifetime, in any responsible way.

I really need to streamline a few things in preparation for what WILL come. I mean I hope That Time is a long way away toward the future, but consolidate, incorporate, get things ready to go and get them gone.

I've been mulling it over for long enough. The car is the next to go.

Would a desktop PC soundcard be decent enough?

Yes, the Walkman was great. So was the Discman, which was waaaaaaaay better. My mp3 players never beat the sound on that, though they saved me having to carry around a big wallet of CDs. Still much prefer CDs.

Would a desktop PC soundcard be decent enough?

If you are thinking of the soundcard I was talking about earlier, it is completely different from what comes in any typical PC. Typical PC sound uses the main processors to do all the work. All the work!

The sound card I use has its own seperate processors built in and requires a much higher output type of power supply to do what it does.
One of the reasons to go to all that trouble and do all that is to get better, smoother, more refined and stable DC voltage for your sound processors to work from. This will be miles ahead of what ever DC power soup floats along the typical USB buss or even a spare out at the original power supply.

This card is older, but it originally cost more than the PC I used it in. I have since upgraded to an even more advanced sound card for the music server I built for JUST music storage and playback.

The Win 10 computer I am typing on right now uses the older sound card after upgrading my main one. I use this one mainly for transfer of analog (LPs or reel to reel tapes) to digital files in a most convenient way.
I had to refit this computer with about double the power suppy size. It came with 400W PS and I replaced the original with a 950W PS.

Now the original motherboard based sound on this machine, which would be comparable to almost any other pre-built, off the shelf macine sound is adequate for most uses and yes, again the software comes into play.
Since this machine came with a DVD player, it also had some rather advanced options native to using a Home Theater set up with this PC. All that software was a part of the Real-tek built in sound.

Before I could use any of my upgraded sound card's features, I had to go in and clear out all that Real-tek installation stuff,  "The Hard Way!"

So a shorter answer might be, "Yes, the PC sound is probably better than the sound from a hand held portable device."
The problem is, like Odeon mentioned, those devices you are connectiong to did not have very good sound to start with.

You can not improve upon or fix what is not already there.

The easier answer still is to plug it in, give it a listen and draw your own conclusions about the quality.
 :LOL:

It should be fine for most uses.

Sorry, I just realized how long winded that was.
You probably did not need so much background as to why I demand the highest quality digital signal I can get.
But, I use specialized high quality speakers and some external electroncs that demand the same.

I really like good sound and I have to pay for it.

If you're like me, then it's because you loved the sound produced by it. I've got a Yamaha that I liked a lot. I suppose I could plug it into the Denon but I honestly don't think I will. I just can't part with it.

It supposedly has a deeper gender politic related message in the movie there somewhere, but I'm predicting it might be too simplistic. "Successful independent woman good, patriarchy bad, m'kay", or something along those lines.

Yes. I'm only doing the quarterly BAS and tax returns etc, but the bookkeeping has to be correct for the BAS and returns to be correct. So far that has involved me going in and fixing heaps of stuff in the bookkeeping side. Add on top of that the incompetency of my new workmates who missed all the bookkeeping errors in the quarters before I came along.

I'm getting along with everyone there. The old dude that runs the place is going downhill cognitively though. I guess we'll see happens but I don't see myself there long term.

I used to see a therapist about the time when I hit that proverbial wall, some ten years ago. Cognitive behaviour therapy, nominally, but really me gaming the system and her knowing it. She did help, though, and quite a lot at that. So maybe she knew what I was doing.

I honestly don't know. I've kept thinking I should go back.

If you're interested I might scrape together a broad description of the design I'm thinking of.  I'm already thinking of emailing another old friend about it.  But i dunno if that kind of discussion would get a lot of traction on here.  Or even in general.  Posted it on facebook once and one guy piped in and started ranting about China for some reason :facepalm2: I guess it was just on his mind.  There's nothing particularly Maoist about it.  Although Maoist philosophy I must admit isn't one I've extensively researched.

I'm still trying to decide whether to go to work, go get food, or make food at home before leaving.  The last choice is cheap enough, but PBJ.  The first choice would require me to do the second shortly after beginning.  So starting with the second choice just skips that step.  But I think I better go with number three.  I am very broke.

Taking a break from cooking the Seafood Casserole for our Thanksgiving dinner and checking the computer.  Thinking to check it after 20 minutes to see if is "bubbling and blaspheming" properly.......Yeah, I have too many Lovecraft lines bubbling in my brain.  :P  Anyway, if it's properly bubbling and blaspheming I will remove the glass top off the casserole dish and let it cook uncovered for a nice golden crust.  Only using raw shrimp and raw scallops without pre-cooked lobster this time.  Lobsters are being overfished and twice cooked lobster and shrimp get pretty rubbery when cooked a second time.  Plus, I learned a thing or two about seafood on our road trip to Cape Cod last month. 8)
