Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound! Everyone else has a thread here!
-
Given the choice, would you rather go blind, or deaf?
-
isnt this where happeh is meant to pop in and say, well if he masturbates hes gonna end up both and a cripple anyways. ;)
Whats the worst thing youve ever done?
-
Do you like being a stay at home dad or do you feel is emasculates you in some way?
-
if the entire membership of Intensity were ship-wrecked on an island without sufficient food supplies, which member would you nominate to be eaten first and why? also, please state second and third choices and reasons why.
-
Deaf, I love to read too much, so my choice would be deafness!
HHHHmmmmm, worst thing I ever did, I would have to say it was a time when I totally lost my patience and temper with my daughter and screamed at her when she was a toddler. The look of sheer terror on her face still haunts me. And serves as a reminder to never do that again. I realized at that moment that I had done the same thing to her, my psycho-mother did to me.
I love being a stay home dad and househusband! Do I feel emasculated....hell no. I'v never been into the stereotypiical male roles.
The first to be eaten would be Happeh, Get the bad food out of the way first! Besides the last thing I would want to deal with is his insufferable arrogance for an extended period of time!
Second: FOAD, listening to his whining would drive me crazy!
Third: PostPerson, get the manipulative people out of the way first!!
Interesting questions!
-
How does it feel being a stay at home dad?
-
How does it feel being a stay at home dad?
Excellent!!!!!!! I don't have to put up with those fucking NT Doctor's and Nurses at work and seeing my daughter be herself, be comfortable in her own skin, challenging me, appreciating me and her mom. Seeing her be her own person, (though I must admit, I'd like to see a little "Hypnotica-Gaze" in her personality), in her own way! The solitude time I have while Amber is at school and my wife is at work is PRICELESS. Of course the security of knowing that one of us is always at home for Amber is immeasurable.
-
Should I start ask anything thread here at Intensitysquared?
-
Give it a shot! ;D

i've got nothing better to do:
\have you ever watched TV and heard a coupla tunes?
-
Yep, multiple times.

Who is that in your avatar?

i remember ancient of age talking about the name OZYMANDIAS.
Will you please refresh my memory of the meaning of OZYMANDIAS?
-
Who is that in your avatar?
Christopher Lambert from the avatar actor selection here!
I'll be back later to answer your question, McJagger later, it's long and involved. Is it the meaning of ozymandias to me, or the meaning in general!
-

your choice, but if tyou want to kill two with one, then you may as well offer both as nuggets.

Why would you like a little HG in your daughters personality?
Am i right in assuming its so it saves you from having to beat the shit out of blokes who try it on with her, if she does it herself? ;)

Interesting thought, but, more along the lines of not taking any bullshit from guys or anyone. Being her own person (which so far seems to be happening), she tends to be a little too passive with the idiot boys in the seventh and eigth grades of her middle school. But, we're working on that! Besides anybody who does anything to her will face the psycho-stalker dad of the apocalypse. ;D And a rusty razor blade is available in my garage at any time.
Odeon, I'll answer your question later, it too is a bit complicated!
-
Im sure she too will find the power of "the knee"
so dont worry ;)

Ok the meaning of "Ozymandias" (for the record, I always use the lower case "o" in my user names on every forum that I belong to.)
When I first heard the term "Ozymandias" was back in the 1960's in a British Sci-fi trilogy by John Christopher, one of the books was "The City of Gold and Lead". It was about an Earth that had been overrun and conquered by aliens that used tripod like devices to get around. Anyway, one of the main characters was a wandering "fool" named Ozymandias, who was actually seeking out youngsters who had not yet been "capped" which was the alien mind control technique. All young people reaching a certain age of maturity were taken by the aliens and fitted with a skull cap that removed all thoughts of resistance. So Ozymandias had somehow been fitted with a defective cap and he retained his independent thought, so he wandered around pretending to be crazy seeking others like him and recruiting pre-capped youths for an army to overthrow the aliens. Now the young men he looked for were the disaffected, outsiders, rebellious. Almost aspieish in a way. So Ozymandias wanders around reciting the poem about Ozymandias to pretend he's crazy.
So I'v always been restless, a wanderer..exploring here and there, an outsider, a little crazy/eccentric, rebellious, always wanting something more and never being totally satisfied with my lot in life.
Plus, I' v always loved that line; "I am Ozymandias, KING OF KINGS, Look upon my works ye mighty and despair."
So now we come to the poem, which is easily found by googling, "Ozymandias by Percy Brysse Shelley."
To me it's about the transient nature of all we do in life. That even the biggest ego's crumble to nothing eventually. Nothing is permanent and to assume otherwise is to delude oneself.
So how does it relate to me finally........one day, quite a few years ago, I was working in the yard, saw a bunch of boulders and decided on a whim to create my own mini-stonehenge, so after a few weeks of planning, manipulating, etc, etc. I did it. And as I stood there looking at my micro-creation. The line that never left my head started running thru my mind and I stood there leaning on my prybar and shovel and chuckled. From that time forward, ozymandias, has been my user name whenever possible.
So that is the personal and possible other meaning of "ozymandias".

I think you said on another forum that you're no longer at OTS. Why?
Over the course of time since the big flap erupted over at wp, I started to notice that almost every forum that was created, was principally about complaining about wp. Now I'm not dismissing the controversy, but, I'v never had a big "investment" at wp and while what I heard disturbed me. It didn't really bother me. ANd after awhile, it started to be repetetive, first neurolands, OTS, then Gestalt, Intensity 1, Intensity 2, etc, etc. The same complaints repeated from one forum to the next. When it came to OTS, it seemed that OTS was losing it's original purpose and becoming "The anti-wp forum".
So after awhile, I started to think about the forums I was involved in and to remove from my favorites those forums I wasn't really invested in. wp was the first to go, I never felt I belonged there, OTS was next, I never felt I belonged there and it really was the same wp people that created it. Plus I was doing the same thing there that I did on every other forum that I belonged to.
So it came down to dropping forums that I no longer felt a part of, boredom with the repetition and the need to focus on where I am invested in, AI, Fractalus, AFF, Neurolands Index, I2. I wish OTS well, it's a good forum, just not for me, anymore!
Peace

I never let the My Pearl of Wisdom forum get that way. I kept it free from bashing any site in the community, for that very reason as I saw what was going on with the other sites in the end. I kept it free from the Aspie Politics in the end too.

After reading your latest response on the pissing and moaning thread I have a question for:
Do you ever find its hard to keep your interests in balance and to stop them interferring with the stuff you have to do? I suppose that's not a particularly clear question- maybe this is better ??? Do you ever find yourself becoming so obsessed with one particular interest that your others and your real life responsibilities start to suffer (or could if you didn't try back off from an intererst)??
And if nothing of this makes sense don't worry- I think the heat has gone to my head tonight :(
-
Oddly enough it does make sense and yes I do have that problem! Ex. I'm trying to learn to play acoustic guitar and I do love being able to make my OWN music. But, my other obsessions of creating things out of the stuff people discard or landscaping my yard, crowd the thoughts of practiciing out of my head. And I'm doing a craft project right now! Plus I'm always checking the computer to see what the email has brought. I'm trying to reshuffle my obsessions around! I'm trying to make the computer lower on the priority level for me!
I'll trade your heat for our rain any time!

Ex. I'm trying to learn to play acoustic guitar and I do love being able to make my OWN music.
i have virtually mastered the air guitar, is it a big leap to learn the acoustic guitar?
-
Not really, except this time the feed back is real and you get real blisters on your fingers!
-
thanks for the advice. if it is going to affect my wanking then im not interested.
how many leather jackets do you own?
-
None!
-
really.
i am surpirised i took you for a leather jacket wearing bloke.
what would you consider your style of dress?
-
casual, relaxed, comfortable and low key, emphasis on confortable!
-
do you put regular shoes on every single day no matter what, or are you perfectly willing to run errands hang out, and sit at the computer all day with your bedroom slippers on?
-
I'm a sneakers outside and slippers inside man. I haven't worn a regular pair of shoes since I got married 15 years ago!

Do you believe that some form of morality (not the ability to accept morality, but actual moral tendencies) can be, or is, present in humans regardless of what they have been taught and exposed to? In simplistic terms, are some morals hard-wired in some or all humans? Elaborate on this your answer as much as you like.
-
Your question is one that takes a lot of thought! Plus I see that you mass posted the same question to everybody else!
So I will answer, when I have sorted out an answer from my poor tender head!
Peace
-
i think she is perplexed whether or not we can survive here on Intensity?, without written rules.
and i am really impressed that she has taken the liberty to ponder it and search for answers.
seriously, i think its great. such a young mind, craving knowledge and understanding.
kudos PMS Elle.

OK, here's my shot at this question. No, I do not believe that we are hardwired for morals, obviously reward/punishment or pleasure/pain dictate a lot of where we go and how we do things and why we do things. From my perspective, if we were hardwired for moral behaviour, Why do we have thieves, rapists, serial killers, con people, racists, sadists, bullies, etc, etc, etc.
Anyway, you asked and thats my take on it!
-
If you were voted for as admin would you consider doing the job?
-
NO, I honestly do not have the time, patience and I don't think I would do a good job anyway. Add to that, I'm a cyber moron of the highest caliber!! (or is that lowest caliber?)
After having read all the "stuff" going on, I'd like to add that you couldn't pay me to do that job. >:(

How did you first find out about AS?
How old were you at the time?

Sorry for the delay, just got back from vacation!
Anyway, while I was dating my soon to be wife, I made my special omelets with grated muenster cheese and a decent tomato sauce. I made several types of omelets, so it's hard to remember any specific one. She's tall, very nice figure, dark haired, blue eyed, honest, loving and finds me "deliciously different", (her words). So we would have the omelet, some fun and the rest is history!
-
How did you first find out about AS?
How old were you at the time?
When our daughter was first suspected of AS about 4-5 years ago, in our research leading up to and a little past her official dx. It became fairly obvious that a lot of the traits described me and my past experiences perfectly.
I was about 44-45 at the time.
-
:'(
Nothing serious, just inflating my post count! :P :-*
-
I'm gratified that there are quite a few of us more mature people here. Do you think your life would have been different if you'd known about AS as a child?
-

Unfortunately...no, at least from my parents point of view. It would have served as another weapon in my female progenitor's (aka "mother") arsenal to keep me enslaved to her twisted view of what an "Ideal" son should be. On the other hand at least I might have had an idea of why I was different and "maybe" avoided the pitfalls of life that I stumbled into otherwise. But, then again, it's those pitfalls and the lessons learned that got me where I am today. Hindsight is always 20/20. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, can be amusing, but, one must take care not to be too obsessed over the past, especially since it can never be undone.
"Man plans, God laugh's!" "Life is what happens, when your making other plans." yadda yadda yadda, I have a lot of quotes about such stuff.

Religion: apathetic, agnostic, atheist, believer?
Do you believe in a higher power?
If so what made you believe in it, what form do you think it takes, what makes you believe it takes that particular form?
If not, how do you feel about the people who do believe, whats your general attitude towards them?
-
I have no belief in a higher power!!!! And as far as other people are concerned, let them believe what they want, as long as they don't try to ram it down my throat.
I do what I do and follow my own peculiar code. If it sends me to hell...so be it.....thats where my friends and those I RESPECT will be.
If it sends me to heaven, screw that, I ain't going...an eternity of boredom is not for me. What the hell is "free will" for if it's meant to be spent kissing the ass of some fucking deity before and after death.

"The Ages of Stonehenge" (I can't remember the author). Interesting, but, very "dry" in a college textbook kind of way. I gave it away to the local library book sale.
-
There is no american nationality, because even that is made up people with different backgrounds.
ozymandias I thought that name sounded portugeese, which is what I am half. That is why I said heh heh.
-
So how has ozmandias been doing lately?
-
Not too badly, now that this freakin summer cold has run it's course, a lot of projects are finished and we're heading into my favorite season of the year. So all in all, I'm doing pretty decently!
Thanks for asking and how's Kevv?? 8)
-
So what is the favorite time of season?
-
Autumn
-
Autumn
Yeah that is My favorite too.
Why do You like Autumn?
-
The weather is usually not too hot or too cold. I love the temp when it's in the 60's. Plus tourist season is over except for the people who drive up to gawk at the fall foliage colors. But, the drunken canoeists from Massachusetts are back at college. I like to go up into the mountains and listen to the quiet or the wind thru the valleys.
It's the time of year, I feel more centered and balanced!
-
Ozymandias,
What advice would you give to a young aspie guy who wants to grow up to be as well adjusted as you?
-
I'v been called many things, but, "well adjusted" is a first! :laugh: :P There are just some things that come with getting older, (I'm 51) and getting experience the hard way and working my ass off to do what I needed to do. We're all different, so what worked/s for me may not work for you.
So advice......don't be afraid to try different things, if your unhappy in a comfort zone...it's time to get outta the comfort zone. Change can be scary, but also empowering!
The best advice I ever got was this; "If you can't find your niche in life, then carve one out for yourself."
-
and cliche's. plenty of cliche's!!!

Life is one big cliche! :-*

Your too kind, Sir! :'(

think we should all establish a time (within the next week or so), and have a drunken chat conversation, with several members of I² participating.
shots every ten minutes and a cold beer always in hand (or wine).
we can name a designated log saver, who will post the declining results of the entire session. that way, the next day, we can all use the blushing emoticon, frequently.
and, we should remember that this is Intensity². so no holds barred.
also, clothing is optional.
who would be interested in this?
perhaps next sunday between 10pm and midnight british time.
that means i would be drinking by about two in the afternoon.
next sunday sept 18. would you be interested?
-
Yeah, why not, I'll jot it down to remind me! >:D

What is your opinion of the person centred Approach in nursing theory seeing as it is an americain philosophy

Give me some time to think about that, it's been awhile since I even heard about that theory or even gave it a passing thought!

What is your opinion of the person centred Approach in nursing theory seeing as it is an americain philosophy
discuss
OK, I did a review of the theory, but as I see it (and please correct me if I'm off target on this..it's been a long time.)
The person or client centered approach to nursing theory is the nurse, patient/client and carer or other caregiver combine to focus on the specific needs of the cliet/patient as they are the ones in the best position to know what they want.
In a nutshell, I have a mixed opinion about this, but with a strong leaning toward favoring the system. The weakness in it, is that it assumes the patient will do what it takes to cooperate with the care plan established for that patient. The strength of it is that the patient has control over his or her care and that does favor cooperation/compliance. In my career, I have found that a majority of my patients do better emotionally when they have as much control as possible and that makes for a much better relationship and positive feelings. Face it, medical problems like cancer, aids, or other diseases or problems can leave a patient feeling powerless, hopeless, angry, depressed, etc. It's like all of sudden your humanity and individuality are stripped away quickly or slowly. By giving as much control as possible, dignity, freedom of any kind, and choice, contribute to a better climate for recovery or a dignified end of life scenario. (I am a geriatric/hospice specialist.)
The weakness, is the clients own personality or desires. Some patients will not do a damned thing to improve their health or living situation. I had one person refuse all rehab to build up their strength so that they could go home, they would literally sit in the kitchen chair all day long from when the nursing staff got them up, to when the nursing staff put them to bed, in their own home. They expected everything to be done for them. The nursing staff were limited in how much care they could give and it was a stretch to even get twice a day visits as it was. I can't be more specific, but, they refused to do anything for themselves. I'v seen emphysema patients on oxygen continue to light up their cigarettes despite all the warning about smoking with oxygen going. Cystic Fibrosis patients smoking, etc etc etc. And then there's the dysfunctional family situations! OY! I can't go into more detail then that!
Now some patients do have reasons for uncooperative behavior either because of strokes, severe mental health issues or brain injuries. So something has to be crafted around each patients particular needs, it can be difficult, sometimes damned near impossible. But over all the majority does seem to work out!
So my opinion is that it usually works out when everything falls into place! I do like it.
Anyway, I hope that is what you were looking for in a discussion, if not clarify where I didn't meet that goal!
-
What do You like like about Intensity2 ozymandias?
It's fun and it's nice to be able to let things rip, when my mind needs to do that! I'm kind of a natural goof ball and I tend to not take myself soooooooooo seriously! Well at least most of the time! It's nice to not be PC all the time!

Nursing theory?
WTF?
Did you know that I'm a nurse too and actually am taking a fucking class in nursing theory right now?? And I hate it.

Sorry to hear that, but, I was responding to a question by Praetor! As a rule I don't give a bloody fucking shit about theory's! I just want to do my job and be able to sleep at night knowing that I did just that, and made somebody's life a little bit easier and less painful.
What my main problem is, the political bullshit of the medical facilities and social climbing hierarchy that seems to be prevalent among a lot of my "co-workers".
-
Yeah but nursing theory's just so obscure - it seemed weird to have somebody ask that question. Still am puzzled. Sorry to hear about the politics. That's the main reason I'm not currently working.

Not really weird, consider that he's from the UK and the socialized medicine system that they have there. The article that refreshed my memory about the theory was from Canada! Socialized medicine in the shadow of the USA's Free for all enterprise system. The theories are obscure and only a nursing school would push it as a topic of a class. Basically, it was a topic that once the class was over and I learned it, decided to forget it since it didn't apply to me IRL.
-
Where do You see Intensity2 in six months?
-
To be honest..........I don't even think about that. Where Intensity is in six months, is where it is! I am optimistic that things will go well!
-

Im slagging off person centred approach so I wanted to know what a Yank thought of their own countries philosophy.
I would bear in mind if you have been trainned in adult/general nursing that despite my title as a nurse student i am not neccesarily learning and doing the things you did in your trainning or do now in your practice because im RNLD not RNG

Basically, the philosophy of a nursing student is to do everything your told to do by the teacher and then after you graduate relearn everything, or just about everything, according to the rules of the real world. Somethings are carved in stone, like infection control and safety obviously. But basically you discard everything that doesn't apply to your particular situation. Like care plans, I can whip up a real, nifty one that has all the blah, blah, blah, BUT, then someone will come along and change a huge section of it. So rather than spend my precious patient time doing a big care plan, I'll stick to the basics of the case and let others modify to their hearts content.
Nursing school, IMO, presents nursing if we lived in an ideal world, small nurse to patient ratio's, Doctor's as Lords of all creation, nurses as all friendly and helpful and everything you need to help the patient get better. I was in the medical field as a nursing assistant for years before I started my first job as a nurse, so I was fairly well versed about the "real world". But, I'v seen young nursing students "crash" when they hit the wall of reality! :( The phrase, "Nurses eat their young!" is all too truthful!
By the way, what does RNLD and RNG mean?
-
Bad day Ozy? You seem unusually full of piss and vinegar tonight mate. :-\
-
Yeah, a few things have finally reached their boiling point with me. I try to be diplomatic or silent, but some things just rub me the wrong way! McJagger is probably getting his jollies thinking he's provoking me as per his usual mode of thinking. WRONG!
I really am wondering why I'm here and whether I should just delete this place and go back to spending more time at AFF.
I posted this at my journal on fractalus as well, so it's no big secret. I'm tired and maybe I'll be better tomorrow!
But it's a stone cold fact there are people, I intend to ignore and now it's public. If that upsets people......too fucking bad! I'm trying to be honest in the I2 spirit, but all of a sudden that seems to be unfashionable!
Peace
-
I hope you feel better tomorrow, Ozymandias.
Honesty is good. It's good to get things out and not let them continue to fester.
Here is a question for you: What is the most difficult thing you have ever done as a parent?
-
My honest, serious response, is being a parent! In all honesty, I never wanted to be one. I was afraid to pass on the "family curse" to Amber. I was ready to be celibate for the rest of my life rather than bring another life into the family cesspool. If I had married any other person than Carla, there would have been no kids in my life. Don't get me wrong I love kids and am a child advocate against abuse of any and all kinds. In many ways I'm a big goofball and am a kid at heart. A lot of my life now is making up for lost time, while trying my hardest to be a "father".
And in all honesty, I am BLOOD WELL GLAD I GOT A VASECTOMY! One is enough! I love my daughter, but, I have my limits.!
-
Oh and I am coming up on the 11th anniversary of the big "rift": and blow up with my female progenitor and my "sister" and her family!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a fucking emo!
So if people don't like it, don't read it!

Yeah, a few things have finally reached their boiling point with me. I try to be diplomatic or silent, but some things just rub me the wrong way! McJagger is probably getting his jollies thinking he's provoking me as per his usual mode of thinking. WRONG!
I really am wondering why I'm here and whether I should just delete this place and go back to spending more time at AFF.
I posted this at my journal on fractalus as well, so it's no big secret. I'm tired and maybe I'll be better tomorrow!
But it's a stone cold fact there are people, I intend to ignore and now it's public. If that upsets people......too fucking bad! I'm trying to be honest in the I2 spirit, but all of a sudden that seems to be unfashionable!
Peace
i am not getting my jollies.
actually i am quite offended that you are getting all defensive with me.
sorry about your unpleasant anniversary, but i don't get why you are taking it out on me.
however, if it makes you feel better, then i am here for you, whip-away!
-
Ok I wasn't going to respond, but I owe you something. Yes I am defensive when the mood is on, but, your pretty good at that as well!
And NO your not going to be my whipping boy! I'll let my silence do my talking from here on out!
Peace
-
PEACE, indeed!
you are right about when i get moody. but i tend to be an equal opportunity bitcher!
i would like to extend the olive branch of peace to you, though. i had no idea (at first) that you were simply going through a difficult time, until i read more of your posts.
i was being too sensitive. so i offer you my apology.
-
Accepted!

:thanks:
glad to have you back, ozy.
-
Yay! You're back, you two have made up, now the only thing outstanding is the make up sex. Come on, I'm waiting >:D
-
How many colds have you had this year, Ozymandias. It seems like you have had a lot of them.
I have one right now too, which I caught from my little germ carrier (school age child).
-

will that sate tour appetite?

I lost count, but the one in August that lasted over three weeks was awful. I gotta get a flu shot from my doctor and soon.
-
Thanks all! Unfortunately, no make up sex, you'll have to settle for a long distance wave! :vulcan:
When I get sick, you don't want to come within a mile of me! :puke: :shitfan: However if you want to cum outside of that range feel free, just send me the pictures later! >:D
-
Welcome back, Ozy! Good thing you got rid of Christopher Lambert. He never did anything good after highlander anyway. ;D

Yeah, I was never satisfied with the choices of avatars here. He was just a filler until I could think of something else. Butters/Professor Chaos kinda suits me!

Glad to see You back. ;D

Why are you so interested in this?

I'm just curious and want to know what everyone here has. NT of me eh? Aspergers and autism is one of my other obsessions I've had since I was almost 15. Just something I hardly talk about though. Only people I talked about it with was my school counselor and my shrink I saw when I was 16-18.

I don't mind answering questions about me and be warned, don't get too personal. If your NT, I don't give a fuck! I'll answer personal questions to a point. But, I find endless questions from anyone slightly irritating.
-
Do you like fluorescent lights?
-
It depends upon how long I have to deal with them. I prefer not to spend a lot of time under them.
-
How's life been treating you recently?
-
Not too bad. Amber's at camp until mid august. So it's nice to be kid free for a few weeks. I'm sure she's glad to be parent free for awhile as well. :laugh: Carla's off camping by herself for the next few days. She likes the solitary time to write poetry for her DeviantArt forum. I'll be popping by everyday to bring her some stuff she needs, in more ways than one! :eyebrows: The only thing is the wet persistent grey days we've been having. But thats just a minor annoyance. At least it's a good excuse to stay indoors and finish the summer total housecleaning! :P
How about you?
-
I've been a bit tired since I got back from my holidays- I had a good time but it was hard work having no alone time for so long. But other than that (and the odd emo moment I had on here when I first came back) I'm doing good. :-*
-

I assume they hurt your eyes. How often do you hear them buzzing or humming everytime you see them?
-
I'm good at tuning them out for certain periods. In a hospital or nursing home situation, you don't have time or enough quiet to hear the lights.

Are you feeling any better today Ozy? :-*

If you had a superpower what would it be and why?

Are you feeling any better today Ozy? :-*
A little, I managed to get outside and get a big job done. And a mega inside housecleaning job done, so I have a little pressure off my ass. (self inflicted pressure, I might add). I always feel better knowing you and some others here give a shit about me. :green: 8)
-
How many kids do you have? One?

It's a toss between HEAT VISION to vaporise assholes who pissed me off or the ability to read minds and find out who's been responsible for the shit thats happened to me.
-

I'll answer your question tomorrow, because I'm tired, cranky and you annoy me. Plus, I think your the little coward who's been gheying me without letting me know why! :finger: BUT, I will answer your question.............TOMORROW!

Hmm, maybe you should go for the mind reading power, if these people have fucked you over bad then you need to make them suffer a little more than heat vision can do... >:D

Actually, I'm not into causing suffering, there would be enough pain in a quick vaporisation that would satisfy me. Plus, no evidence of anything that would be traced back to me. It would be enough to look them in the eye as they realized what was going to happen.

I won't answer, but, I have posted the info on another forum where I have a journal. BUT, I2 is not a support forum and I have decided that I won't post certain things here. As for revenge, I prefer the kind where I don't have to lift a finger, but just witness the truth in the saying, "What goes around, comes around!"

Fair enough, I respect your decision on that. As for revenge, i agree there is a certain sweetness in the impasive sort, but the other sort you get to admire your own handywork. Especially good if its the spectacular sort of revenge...
-
My favorite book of ALL TIME is the "Count Of Monte-Christo" by Alexandre Dumas. The Ultimate revenge tale and yes, there would be a certain sweetness in viewing the fruits of ones labors. But, then again, I'm not very good in planning, long term complex plots to gain satisfaction. I just find it a lot easier to NOT suffer fools from the beginning, and let them know in NO UNCERTAIN terms, that I am not going to play the game their way.

Hmm, I havent read that book, thats another thing that might have to go on my summer reading list. As for revenge, sometimes the most simple things are the most rewarding, one thing I did a very long time ago took me 30 seconds literally to do, involved using one idiot as a flunkie and a small metal spring, and caused 6 weeks mayhem for 5 people i intensely disliked. Best of all, they couldnt pin it on me...

..If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten

When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing...

Trust me, I don't stay down very long. I seem to have a built in BS meter that kicks in and tells me to get over it, get off my ass and do something instead of wallowing in self pity.
Like a volcano, I just need to erupt from time to time and relieve the pressure! :laugh:
-
Thought you would like to hear this, you deserve more than Peaguy, to be where he is.
Yes my mom gets mad if I don't hold the door open for her, just like you trying to help Carla. Very nice.
PEAGUY IS AN ASSHOLE.
What is your favorite food?
-
My favorite food depends upon my mood and what I'm craving at the time. The list would be too long to post, but, samples are:
Tenderloin beef, fresh picked asparagus, corn and tomatoes, Fried Clams, shrimp, lobster, to name a few.
As for Peaguy, he deserves better and I wish the best for him in his life. And I wish the best for you in your life.
-
Ok that was unexpected, and yes I agree Peaguy deserves better, hope he gets on that right track that is.
/me offers O

You cultivate mental health, that makes you a more proficent nurse, I commed you. :) Get into shape to really give a go. That is why I do what am doing, to put the patient first.
I wonder what your favorite color is, I bet its not brown :laugh: Simple questions like these can tell alot about a person. I know that green is suppose to inspire hunger.

Do you consider yourself a consumer of classy foods?

Favorite colors, Blue, purple and black

Do you consider yourself a consumer of classy foods?
Depending upon what you mean by "classy"???? I do like certain foods that CAN be expensive, like Veal, tenderloin aka Filet Mignon ::), lobster and shrimp. I prefer my food cooked simply without a lot of "textures", "layers", "complex tastes", like you'd find on a cooking show like "Iron Chef. I'v eaten in "Fancy Restaurants". But, my preference is for food that is simple and easy to prepare and TASTES good. I also have a taste for certain frozen foods, like BBQ chicken wings.

Oh it was the way you said "fresh picked asparagus" that made me wonder if you were one of exotic taste. I dont like my food layered as such either.

There's a difference in the quality of taste in freshly picked asparagus, corn on the cob, and stuff thats been frozen. Tomatoes fresh off the vine are very tasty, too. But, fresh picked is just another simple pleasure in eating. We live and have lived in farming areas, so it's just another taste preference. Freshly cooked asparagus, butter and a little salt, nothing exotic about that.

Blue is depressing, so I wonder if you want to be calmned down. Black is the absance of color, so I guess no stimulation, and perhaps more evidence you want to be calmned down. I admit myself, but thankfully, I can easily controll myself. I used to yellow, then it was green, and now its all bright colors. Bright colors cause a sense of agitation, perhaps that is to trigger the mania that occurs with my discrete personality disorder. Mania makes one feel good, but my the intense symptomology of my mom who I am mirroring, does not occur in me. I am very patient person. Its just a disfuctional coping strategy that I used to use for dealing with my mom. More predictable behavior perhaps reduces one's distress, especially if its the same as yours. Hmm.. yellow... fear. Fear triggers endorphin release, there is a bunch of articles on autism and endorphins. In proper processing of certain proteins, ie gluten and casein, can make one's behavior strange. The more endorphins and psuedo endorphins one has, the more one needs to help day to day fuctioning. Yellow may stimulate endorphin release. Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't feel I have AS or HFA anymore.
What is your favorite season?
-
Color like anything else is subjective. I find blue suits me, as does black and purple. I prefer dark colors, though real blue and sky blue I find appealling.
Autumn

the leaves fall
to the ground
and on the ground they stay
'til the winter waves of snow come in
and bury them that way
and in the summer the summer sun
will melt the snow away
and the leaves will be as good as fresh
and cows will eat some hay
-
I like to wallow in my autumness.

I know what I like, the start of my allergies :laugh:
I have not had any since I have been taking 3 grams of vitamin c a day, and trying to cope better. Its my understand that 1 gram or over acts like an antihistamine.

The foliage colors, the coolness, the smell of the earth while raking, the opening up of the scenery as the leaves fall and the trees are bare, the quiet.

"Indigo Sky"
The Indigo sky
and the red-orange moon
on scarlet rocks does
the wolf slightly loom
memories of the hunt
fills the Indigo gloom
the Indigo sky

If Tylenol does not help Amber's cramps, then there is a medicine that I take for my cramps called Ponstel (http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/mefenamic.htm), which works very well for me.
Tylenol never helped my cramps at all, although ibuprofen and naproxyn help somewhat.
I realize that different people are different in what works for them, but I wish I had known about Ponstel when I was Amber's age. It would have saved me a lot of pain, curled up in the fetal position around a heating pad or hot water bottle.

Thanks Callaway, I'll have Carla check it out! Fortunately, Amber's cramps are not that bad......yet. But, It's always good to have something in reserve! 8)

So I was reading about memory, the term scotophobin came up, do you have any new information about that?
Damn psych book, not challenging enough, and to boot, its copyright is 1980's

Here's a definition, if that helps, Randy:
sco·to·pho·bin (skōt′ə fō′bin)
noun
a peptide produced in the brain of laboratory rats conditioned to have a fear of darkness: it is claimed that such a fear may be transferred to unconditioned rats by injection of the peptide, thus providing evidence for the theory that memory has a chemical basis

Did you break December snowfall records and if so how far back do you have to go to beat it?
-
Did you break December snowfall records and if so how far back do you have to go to beat it?
Actually, in Conway NH, it was their third highest snowfall dating back to when records began 37+ inches. The town where I live doesn't keep track and so we go by the Portland ME forecasters. They recorded 3 feet of snow along the coast and broke the record. SO for our area, it's all muddled, I personally recorded 37+ inches on our property and thats our record since we moved here 12 years ago. Also our driveway got plowed 8 times which is our record for any month of the winter.
We live in a tweener zone between the coast and the mountains. If my memory serves me correctly, weather records around here date back to the 1870's.

A few guesses from my perspective, it either refers to a peculiar sensation women feel in regard to periods,, sexual sensations or the discomfort from one helluva yeast infection or STD.
Somethings I hear............well, I don't want to know! :P

Scandinavia and Finland are very ancient continental crust. Any volcanic activity was half a billion to even a billion years old. There's some old, 400 million years old volcanic traces about 50 miles or so from me. Not much to think about, but, worth noting as a reference in regard to Earth's past. It's something I think about when I'm driving and go through one of those road cuts thru bedrock and observe traces of basaltic dikes (ancient magma intrusions) in the host rock.
There's an area in Russia called the "Siberian Traps", it was the scene of huge outpourings of Lava, something called Flood Basalts. Lava just erupted and covered thousands of square kilometers to a depth of 1-3 kilometers over many millenia. Possibly resulting in the Permian Great extinction event. It's one of the largest flood basalt regions known on earth. For perspective, a single siberian trap eruption would have made Hawaii's current 20+ year eruption look miniscule.
There'll be a test on this next week. <end little professor mode> :P

I find volcanoes exciting. There was an eruption a few years ago in New Zealand so that volcano is still active. I can't remember the name of it.

I know what your talking about and I can't remember the name either. All I can remember is that a vulcanologist was up there at the time and was never seen again nor was his body ever recovered. New Zealand has a number of active volcanoes in the North Island. There are volcanoes on the east coast of australia, some as recent as 500-1000 years ago. There are even lava tubes that one can explore. If memory serves me correctly, Victoria was the scene of the most recent (geologically speaking) activity and Mt. Gambier was active also at some point.
I should also add that geologically speaking any volcano that has had activity in the last 10,000 years is considered potentially active. Most volcanoes have lifespans of tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Supervolcanoes are the only exceptions, they can be potentially active over a few million years.

I think its a man thing also, big exploding volcanos and lifting weights etc.

I hate to tell you this, but a number of articles/books in my collection have been written by women vulcanologists. It's not just a "MAN" thing anymore. 8)

It was Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand, I think. White Island is the most active, steaming a lot of the time.
Here is the page I found on them:

Are the neurolands done? I still check there some days and it's been down a few.

I haven't checked yet today, but so far it's been two days. ??? I wish I had more info for you. I'll keep trying!!

I have noticed that it is down too, but I thought that it might just be my computer or internet connection.

I tried today with no luck, but, people are aware, so hopefully soon something will pop up.

What the fuck is your problem?
I find Carla irritating to be honest. Dxing people, and telling them how they feel is selfish, you will find, if you think hard enough, I am usually not mean without a reason. Even in my worst times, with problems of my own, I don't think I have ever attacked Callaway, because she doesn't irritate me like Carla does.
I would rather let go of the negative feelings. I don't know that I did anything to you, at least I don't remember. I just mentioned her because you probably are sidind with her. You look like a kiss ass, and its not appropiate for a person to take sides in an arugement. Everyone should get along.

THAT IS FUCKING IT..............YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE. YEAH, I'LL LET GO OF NEGATIVE FEELINGS BY IGNORING YOU PERMANENTLY. CARLA IS A VERY HONEST PERSON AND DOESN'T DX PEOPLE LIKE YOU CALL US ALL DISABLED AND DRUNKS. DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO THINK OR SAY.
Asking people to get along with everybody else is a pipe dream and you just keep coming on here with the same old song and dance, day in and day out. Your the village fool here and don't have the brain cells to realize it. :finger:

That's awesome Renaeden!

CCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL :plus: Thanks Renaeden, awesome pic. :drool: Gimme an active volcano pic anytime! 8)

WOW.
That's got so much storytelling potential.

You ain't whistling dixie! A volcano that hasn't erupted in 9000 years, and then this. I'm drooling at what my science magazines are going to have to report about it! To a volcano fanatic like me, this is WAY BETTER than porn! :laugh:
Yes, folks, I'm a geek and I'm weird! :razz:
-
That's a really fab picture.
-
ozymandias, will you post another picture of yourself?
-
Most likely no,, there's enough of my ugly mug out there! :laugh:
-
Dang. There is only one picture of you on here, I thought it would be good to have another one.

There's actually three on here. One of me with the chainsaw, the other the one I put in the Member's photogallery, and there is another of me and my wife that I posted on here roughly a year ago. And I can't remember where it is!! ??? DAMN
-
A mission for Callaway. 8)
-
Yeah, if anybody could dig it up, she can and that right quickly. Then she can add it to my dossier! :laugh:
-
What makes you think that it isn't in your dossier already? :laugh:

:yikes: I'm doomed! :zombiefuck:

What kind of heat do you use. We used oil and just got our first budget bill for the year and it's more than double so I am looking for options
-
I found the one in the Members photogallery.

Propane, it's not cheap either, but, it's far more efficient then oil and we just upgraded our furnace a year ago. Next we're going to do a tankless hot water system.

The one with me and my wife was in one of the "what are you..." threads. At least I remember that it might be there. :P

Is it cheaper than $232 a month?

We use propane for heat, hot water and cooking, plus it fuels our generator. So we have one of those big tanks that look like a minisub. So our bills during peak winter are way above that.

Well, I found the post where I had the picture of me and my wife, but, the picture seems to have been deleted! :(
Of course who one "naps" with is very important! :eyebrows:

Could have happened when we moved the site. The server only allowed us to see 2000 or fewer files in any directory so Dunc had to fly blind, so to speak.
Sorry about that, anyway.

No big deal, I'v got my pic here twice and I would prefer that my wifes pic NOT be here for creepazoids.

Thanks for finding it, Ozymandias. I looked for it last night but I couldn't find it.
I think that the problem could be that the page where the picture was stored may be out of date. Here's the link and it doesn't work, either:

No problem, I'm here and my ugly mug is online and Carla's isn't! Anybody who wants to see what she looks like can find her at DeviantArt and her user name is "Garnet43". :laugh:
