I taught my daughter B.

I tried A for a while when my daughter was using nearly half a roll of toilet paper in one visit and clogging the toilet regularly to see if it would make it easier for her to use a more reasonable amount.  I found that my husband, who normally wouldn't put the paper on the roller in the first place, was reversing the roll to make it B.

If you don't have one of those mushroom shaped things to put into the sock to hold it in place while darning it, you can use an incandescent light bulb.

I know how to darn them. Did not know it was called darning in English though. :D So thank you.

But, the fabric is thin on the outline of the holes. It will only stop the problem for a week or so. So, new ones have to be found.

I gave my eldest son an electric guitar (he can play some - COOL!) that was played by his grandfather (my dad's guitar) upon his departure two days ago. I also gave him about five hundred family pictures, all labeled carefully, since this is a new family experience for him.

(I had writer's cramp on Saturday from all the labeling left to do - I  had tried to make a succinct collection for him and I had it all prepared with proper labeling to identify every pictured subject, but he wanted MORE, especially about those old men who look like him.)







useless, indeed!

I was a "B"  person until I had a cat that learned how to strip an entire mega-roll on to the floor while I was away.

I love the cat, so I became an  "A"  person.

Anyone else ever visit someone that's an A person and change it to B? Call it an OC thing but I'm guilty. :laugh:

No, I'd never change it to A, but I'd definitely have my doubts about the person! Sounds like PPK and cbc are cool to visit each other's houses though. Personally, I prefer B people! :P


I was a "B"  person until I had a cat that learned how to strip an entire mega-roll on to the floor while I was away.

I love the cat, so I became an  "A"  person.


She can still destroy the outer twenty or so layers, but at least I am saved from having to stoop over to clean it all up.

House Rule #1....keep toilet door shut at all times perhaps? You get a little piece of ribbon cloth, velcro it to the inner edge of the inside of the door jamb...when loo is in use, you shut the door with the red ribbon cloth pushed outwards so the 'humans' can at least see it's legitimately busy? Just a thought...

I don't know about anyone else, but I just switch the light on regardless of time of day to indicate I'm in the toilet. One can see the gap under the door is too lit and thus a reasonable "In Use" indicator. That and there's the obvious lock too.

I can see that, especially if your grandmother's gone.  If I hadn't already eaten my granddad's hot pepper jelly, I might have been tempted to hold on to it, too.

My grandmother made me a quilt that I would never get rid of.  I have a small very sturdy table that my dad made for my daughter and he helped me redo two old solid oak Queen Anne chairs.  I have my mother's Hummel figurines.

Did you fidget with the white pawn Odeon?

Yes. It made me feel safer.
:)

I have pebbles for that.  

I use music.

The pebble is in my pocket. Every coat worth being a coat has at least one pebble that just stood out, and had to be found. And no matter where I am, or what I need to be doing, as long as I have one hand free, it can bring me comfort.

Music, it is great, but for me it doesn't work when I have to deal with other people around me. Music brings solitude in the best possible way since real darkness has seized to exist. The pebble grounds me, even when needing to interact with other people.

A white pawn is the most common first move by a factor of (shit, I forgot, but it is a lot, like maybe seven or eight) and maybe that has significance to one who tends to wait for another to make the first move most often.

I am that type of person, unfortunately. I think I need to change!  :orly:

I have found a woman kind of like you and I offered her my castle.

Is that Mrs. DirtDawg?  :)

You are actually asking that question, I mean are you really asking that of me?

I am a man of many volumes of pages, most pages mention women who have not been good for me, but only two wives in all those volumes; one who was my high school sweetheart, now, long dead in my heart and one who saved me from continuing to destroy that wide open place in my mind where women can generally enter, who has replanted a massive garden in my heart.

Yes, the talented gardener is indeed Mrs. DirtDawg, forever.

I have hyper-extensability of the metacarpaphalangeal (or however you spell it) joints.  That's fingers for the less medically inclined.  I also have it in my hips and knees.  As it was explained to me, the tendons/ligaments are longer than normal and don't hold the joint in place as they should.  Therefore the joint moves/flexes more than normal.  It does lead to greater wear and tear on the joint and thus osteoarthritis and joint replacements.

BTW - the boys in grammar school were always impressed that I could make Frankenstein fingers. 

BTW # 2 - double-jointed hips makes for better sex.

I scared my Dad with my fingers as a kid.

My flexibility is probably why one of my nerves can get blocked easily. The ligaments are too long indeed. And the bones not kept in place well enough.

Training the muscles, to form a kind of muscle corset to keep the bones in place helped.

ammolite is a very beautiful gemstone that looks like fire agate, the only drawback to ammolite is its hardness. its fairly soft so it doeant make good pieces to wear

this guys named wendell thatcher, i know him and he deals directly with the mines of slaughter mountain and deer creek. here's his store: http://stores.ebay.com/Sky-Island-Gems-and-Minerals

he usually has good prices, i dont own any ammolite, i have an ammonite but the colors on it i dont think would qualify it as gem quality ammolite

I just got an E bay account and bid on a piece of Fire Agate. When I get one I'll keep it with my whalebone amulet from New Zealand.
Here is my whalebone amulet with one of my Kimber 1911s. The grips on the 1911 are Elk antler.

I actually have several fairly valuable agates, but I will be well beyond damned before I talk to Richard again.

My Agates are not all considered to be  "fire agates."   I actually prefer the blue/green/brown spectrum. I do have one that is pure orange in the highlights, but I will never share this with Richard.

It was HIS choice to become such a twunt, not mine.

Most of my expensive gem stones are sapphires and emeralds, though.  The diamonds I own are generally small, but quite flawless.

Must have been around that time. And it makes sense. Ligaments weaker, because of hormones, and weight pushing on the bones in the feet. According to a shoesalesman it was common for feet to get longer, not because the feet actually grow, but, the pressure of a body over an extended time makes the foot weaker, and therefore bigger. Pregnancy would ad weight, and weakness to ligaments.

half true. and yes hes still alive, I havent seen him in over 10 years though. i couldnt possibly have anything to do with his retarded ass anymore. the last time i saw him he was addicted on cociane and alcohol, he had garbage piled up to the knees in the house, there was only a pathway to walk to the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom. the kitchen floors were fucking black  :laugh:

and thats when i had had enough and moved back with my retarded mother.

He got tons of pussy, and used to tell me about all of his fucks so thats where i know i got my huge peter from

The name you use to introduce yourself and are named by by others is free of charge to change. No need to make that official anywhere. If you want to change it officially it will cost something. If you do the latter, the new name will be visible on official documents too.

Yes, you would need a court order to legally change your name, so you would go to the county courthouse, I think.

After you get the court order changing your name, then you can go to the state capital and change the name on your birth certificate for $23 more.

If you find it, don't let it go though. It can be an incredible thing. I finally found that kind of chemistry with EBM. Where one is lacking, the other fills in. It's amazing. Nothing tops emotional, physical, intellectual stimulation. 8)

How much of that is who you truly are vs using it as a tool to keep people at a certain distance? There's good talk in Eclairs thread about Emotional Intelligence. Near the end, about being your authentic self. There's a deeper layer to life and existence when you live out your own truth. But that means being brave enough and open enough to trust another person to get to know who you are on a deeper level. Having had severe trust issues my whole life, it took me until I was 34 to be able to do that.

( can't use the word brave without thinking of Lit and seeing this dude:  :viking: )

Quite a bit of it. I've always been a wanderer, but I keep people at arm's length yeah. I do this because I have very little understanding of my -own- emotions and emotional capacity. I'm actually DAMN good at judging the intentions and feelings of others to the point of being downright eerie at times, but yes. I have very little emotional intelligence for my own self.

Then I guess it comes to a point where you decide whether you want to continue to live like that, or you want to take the risk of learning more about yourself. I'm still learning, so is EBM. But I'm learning more because he points out to me things about myself and how I process/act/react in ways that I didn't realize. We know things about each other that no one else in the world knows. So we can break it down for each other and explain why the other person may be feeling what they're feeling, and why they're reacting as they are,  and we're usually bang on.

Anyway, enough babble from me. Just food for thought, so to speak. It's a scary leap but for me, the benefits outweigh the risks.

Again, it comes back to filling in the voids. Someone else that fills in what you're missing. I don't think you give yourself enough credit. You've got walls built a mile high and a mile thick to keep people from getting too close to you, and it takes a long time to allow someone pass through it. But if that person comes into your life, I think you'll know. And I hope you'll give yourself a chance. In the end, you will learn more about yourself and that's not a bad thing. But you need to be in the right headspace for it to happen. You may not be ready just yet and there's nothing wrong with that. It's not something you can force or will into action, it just sort of happens on its own.

Well, I already have people like friends who will explain for me when I say something especially creepy or I sound really cruel. Like "Oh thats just his way of saying <blahblah>". But those people are friends.

You know what? Usually its me that leaves, and its because I get annoyed with the emotional needs of my partner. I hadn't thought about it that way before, but yeah. Thats it right there. I get impatient with things I consider to be trivial nonsense, and my partner at the time thinks is "serious, lifechanging buisiness".

Had a great cellphone convo with my eldest last night.


I am amazed at how funny he is. I am beside myself with pride in his resolve. I am deepened in depression to imagine what I have lost to time from not knowing him sooner.

I have less hate for his mother for keeping him from me, after finding how good of a mother she was for him. Only problem, he had five different father images growing up and in the long run, at about puberty, he became his own father image and that has not been bad. I look at how I might have been more solid for him (and then I question myself) but the reality is that he grew up "wild" and has turned out OK!

I love my eldest son, who I never met until a few months back!

Long story/short = we actually are developing a relationship, finally.

I have really weird collections of random shit.

I have bronze recreations of famous sculpture works. I have rocks with fossils in them. I have extinct currency from around the globe. I have books from the late 1800s that are "in my view,"  deliberately offensive. I have lamps that burn oil. I have about forty percolator pots with which to make coffee. I have probably fifty metal spatulas. I have seven oscilloscopes. I have about fifty cameras. I have about thirty flash systems to use for photography. I have about sixty small horn drivers (but I am tragically challenged by only owning about twenty decent horns). I have about a hundred fifteen inch drivers to make bass with, but only about twelve working enclosures. I have about five hundred arrow heads I have found on my own, but not spearheads, ever. I have so many old silver coins that I can not even count or even remember where they all are located without referring to a manifest. I have too many guns. have too many knives. I have too many books I have never even attempted to publish. I have too many songs that no one has ever heard but my family. I have too many running shoes that I never use. I have almost a million saved fractal images and I have only shared a few hundred.  I have over twelve terabytes of music, half of which no one but a few left living have ever heard. I own almost every song I have ever heard that I can remember liking, even a little bit.

SHIT!  Almost forgot, I have about seventy musical instruments. (My dad had a music store and I kept some cool things we came upon)

I collect. I have lived long and I have lived a great life. My face is heavily wrinkled with the results of smiling too much.

Not even really sure if I can make my face frown, without becoming another character. I have done characters that were insidiously angry in theater, but it was a stretch. (for some reason, i never kept anything from my acting days. I am wrong to have done this. I should have kept a few things from my community stage career. I can think of ONE hat and one cape for sure that I should have kept and guarded jealously for all time)

NOW, I admit before you bunch - I keep things.

Some very cool stuff. I'd like to listen to your decent horns and one of the better horn drivers. Those are very rare.

Altec made a horn and a driver for cinemas that was fabulous (can't remember the # atm) but of course would only sound decent in combination with the right filter and really bad with another. There was never anything linear with the setup but the sound was just exquisite. When looked at with an RTA, the curve would always appear spiky and plain wrong (and get the ridicule of a lesser sound tech) but with the right processor and amp, it would nevertheless produce amazingly good sound, especially with magnetic tracks on 70mm film.

With the advent of digital sound, that sort of experience is gone but still remembered by some of us. The sound was alive in a way that never is the case now.

Understand, as I know you do that there is a wide differential between perfect specifications and engaging musicality of any reproducing system.

You do know why I mostly use exceedingly efficient speaker systems managed by fairly low powered (but magnificently dynamic) tube amplification, right? It is simply as close to the real thing (which people like me who have spent so many years in live music and have come to know a great deal about how music is intended to sound) that is available in this day and time.  YES, we can create almost visual effects with our electronics, but getting back to the simplest of reproduction is so high tech when done well, it is almost the same as magic. One must experience minimalism to understand the magic it can create - right in YOUR face - breath taking! indeed.

Some very cool stuff. I'd like to listen to your decent horns and one of the better horn drivers. Those are very rare.

Altec made a horn and a driver for cinemas that was fabulous (can't remember the # atm) but of course would only sound decent in combination with the right filter and really bad with another. There was never anything linear with the setup but the sound was just exquisite. When looked at with an RTA, the curve would always appear spiky and plain wrong (and get the ridicule of a lesser sound tech) but with the right processor and amp, it would nevertheless produce amazingly good sound, especially with magnetic tracks on 70mm film.

With the advent of digital sound, that sort of experience is gone but still remembered by some of us. The sound was alive in a way that never is the case now.

Understand, as I know you do that there is a wide differential between perfect specifications and engaging musicality of any reproducing system.

You do know why I mostly use exceedingly efficient speaker systems managed by fairly low powered (but magnificently dynamic) tube amplification, right? It is simply as close to the real thing (which people like me who have spent so many years in live music and have come to know a great deal about how music is intended to sound) that is available in this day and time.  YES, we can create almost visual effects with our electronics, but getting back to the simplest of reproduction is so high tech when done well, it is almost the same as magic. One must experience minimalism to understand the magic it can create - right in YOUR face - breath taking! indeed.

That Altec driver was an extremely simple construction and very, very efficient. I think it was first designed when many cinemas still had tube amps. The construction was more about art than science, but I can't claim to be an expert on any of it. I just know the difference in subjective listening.

And yes, the amps were all low-powered. They probably produced less power than your average thirteen-in-a-dozen home cinema amps do now. But they were extremely efficient.

Realising I wasn't the person to get a marvellous stamp collection, but, liking nice stamps a lot, I made a habit of always having special stamps at home to use. Hardly ever will I use a standard stamp. Only when I get stuff weighed and stamped at the postoffice what I send will get a standard stamp.

When my uncle died, it took my Dad ages to get everything sorted and categorised and such. So, immediately after he got that done, he made a start on his own belongings.
Real treasures, for those who know what to do with it, emerge. He has gotten things to a museum and some archives. And, has made lots of boxes, labelled, so that we will know where to bring the material, if he won't manage to get it there himself. After a life of collecting, he now starts spreading his collection to where it will be appreciated. Knowing he has stuff his kids have no idea about what to do with it. He can go on for quite some years with this I think. Hope he will be able to do that. It really pleases him to find a good place for his things and archive material.

At my parents there are quite a few red squirrels, and every now and then there is a melanistic squirrel there. They look marvellous. Don't know if it is carried in the genes of those red ones, or if it is a very common mutation, but, there have been black ones now and then all the time they live there.

Was great seeing them through the trees, during dinner.

How old was the child?

Well, not actually a child. He was twenty three, but he died of a heart attack. He was not a sedentary gamer, either. He worked in construction and was fairly slim, yet his heart blew up.

I do remember him well as a maturing boy, however. I remember him making over my collection of carved wooden elephants, ages ago. It is customary for our family to leave something in the casket that we think of when we think of the person who died. I left his favorite carved wood elephant that he used to play with.

To me, the saddest part of the entire proceeding was the fact that when I laid that wooden elephant in his casket, I set it down among a collection of marbles, baseball cards, Ninja Turtles, Hot Wheels and various other toys that represent the mind of a child. These things were placed carefully there by the people who supposedly knew him and were close to him. He was twenty three and, even though I had not seen him in too long, I am reasonably certain that he no longer played with Ninja Turtles, marbles, baseball cards, etc.

The reason I was shaken so, after the reality hit me, was that I wondered if anyone, ANYONE, actually knew who this young man had become. :-\

I was giving the guy a lunch break who normally works "Asset Protection"  (which means security), when I saw a guy come in the store carrying a concealed 9mil weapon. 
I could barely see it, but it was a SIG!

I contacted my manager, who argued with me, until I had a decent camera shot of the person's weapon showing under his coat.

I was allowed to call the police at that point.

When four squad cars showed up and took the front door, then went into the store to investigate, they surrounded him and found that he was an officer from the county Sheriff's department, in plain clothes.

OK, so why did he not identify himself when he came into the store?  I only saw the "gun"  in his clothing and began our standard protocol for dealing with a weapon in the store.

I had him on camera every moment!

I was hospitalized with croup when I was a baby.  :violin:
I was hospitalised with pneumonia when I was a baby. :violin:
I don't remember it at all.

I don't remember my hospitalization either. Did the pneumonia leave any permanent lung damage?   ???
I don't know. I ended up getting asthma when I was 17 (which is a strange age to get it according to doctors) after a few chest infections. Now I have to take medication every day for it.

My Gram had asthma till she was three, and then it returned when she was 17. For a house-mate of mine, the same was true. Maybe they missed a mild asthma in you as a toddler.

I literally wore out a pair of roller skates.  The kind you put on your shoes and tightened the key?  Roller skated so much that the metal wheels wore out and the ball bearings rolled away.  My Mother then declared that, "Nothing is Victoria proof.  Please, Lord, don't let her ever get her hands on a tank."

Ya'll remember those old time washing machines where you had to manually run the clothes through the rollers to get the water out of them?  Well, I managed to get my arm inbetween the rollers while my Mom was washing.  That was the time she came closest to panicking.  You have to press down on the top roller to disengage the hook and free the roller.  But if she did that she would break my arm for sure.  She would neve tell me how they got me out of it, so I guess it was tramautic for her.

Some sort of pain pill; not sure exactly; would have to ask mom. I had a lot of stomach problems as a kid and was told I said I thought it was my meds, even though I had never helped myself to them before. I think it was right before they started mandating child proof caps. The only reason I even remember it is because I remember being very upset when told I had 'slept' for two weeks. Not sure why that bothered me so much.

Walgreen's caps are reversible, so one way they are child proof and the other way they screw into the top of the bottle.

We had had a few inches of snow and had there not been a car barreling down upon us, at a ridiculous speed for a parking lot, my shades would not have been hurt at all. (remember, about two years ago, one of my co-workers was run down by such a driver, while he was loading something into a customer's car) The snow would have protected them from damage. Combine one idiot slamming into me with another idiot driving too fast, and like magic, I no longer own a high quality set of shades.

My feet are often too small for men's shoes. Luckily children shoes come in many width sizes too. And, the past few years, women's shoes have become one or two sizes wider in general. So, November 2009, I managed to buy myself two pair of women's shoes.
According to my daughters, I am finally looking somewhat feminine.  :asthing: They were impressed with the improvement.

I have several dates, in my freezer.

I just finished the last one.  :'(

When you first said you had a date, I thought that date meant that you were going out with someone, then you said you ate your date, so I knew you meant the other kind.  Sorry that all your dates have been eaten.

Ahh, you hope I meant the other kind.  :evillaugh:

I have figured it out now, but if you ate all your dates and I had several in my freezer and they were the mate kind of dates, that would make us a couple of black widow spiders, wouldn't it?



So easy to catch them too.

"Hush, I hear my husband coming. Quick, hide in here."
And then push them in that big cupboard that in fact is a freezer. Lock it, and you're done.  :autism:

That looks like a red back spider not a black widow spider. I could be wrong though.

That's a black widow spider in the US.  We were taught to look for the red hourglass shape on the underside of the abdomen to recognize her when we were kids.

Are your red backed spiders poisonous and do they eat their mates too?  They must be related.

The difference between the red back and the black widow is that the red back has red on top of its abdomen, whereas the black widow is red on bottom.

They could be the same genus though, they look very similar.

I saw one before and the red hourglass on her underside was very obvious even though I never picked her up.  She was trying to hide in the inside of a wheel of my nephew's toy truck which my 18 month old cousin wanted to play with.  Because the truck was outside and covered with dirt and sand, I decided to clean it before letting the baby play with it and when I saw the black widow spider, I was very glad that I made that decision.  Can you imagine what might have happened to the baby if she had been bitten by a black widow spider?

As a sort of obsessive spider aficionado, quite phobiaic of them, still  (still!!), I can tell you that they move differently from many types of spiders and the sounds their legs make are quite different. They are NOT aggressive at all. They prefer to remain hidden. The shape of their cephalothorax is also unique, along with the layout of their eyes, as is with the shape of their abdomen. You would never mistake one for anything else, once you have seen one, well before you enjoy their red markings.

To be sincere, though, there are many more arachnids with far more lethal poisons afang than the lowly black widow.

They all seem to have their own movements, though.  

While too many legs is always going to be creepy, at least we can take solace in the fact that there are no flying spiders.

Have you ever studied trapdoor spiders, though. I have seen many hunting spiders - not just web spinners; I am talking about hunters - which ambush their prey by clamoring into the air and pulling them down, paralyzing them with their bite, but a trapdoor spider is the most aggressive I have ever seen.  They set a trap and sit in wait, then when prey is near they have a "web/net"  set in their "trapdoor" which they can quickly close around their prey. Very aggressive!

... and they are extremely creepy looking. Again, completely unique!

Deary, I have a few years of rock and roll under my belt as well.

I have doubts that you can know who I am, but, aside from all that may imply, I have tinnitus in both ears. My ears totally suck.

I think I qualify for a "Handicapped parking spot," actually, since my ears are so far from what they were when I was your age.  I am basically deaf, these days.

Every song I have ever heard, and been a part of, rings in my ears all at the same time.  My ears are quite suspect in this time of my life.


I can still hear spiders and wasps, though.


... and cricket songs are a mainstay of my outdoor life in the summer.





Sorry, but compared to where I was in my thirties, I am now a deaf old man and I can not hear shit in a storm.

The funeral was yesterday. I arrived home about three hours ago.

She was actually a non-verbal autistic, until she reached her twenties.  Then, after "choosing to use a few words,"  she chose harshly with whom she would interact. At thirty seven years of age, seemingly healthy, she died of pneumonia after spending three days in the hospital.  The doctors could never stabilize her and she did not make it through the night on Wednesday.  I was online here when I got the call about her death.

I can remember keeping her when she was an infant and I was nineteen and twenty.

HOnestly, I spoke all the right words to the Christians in the family; "She's in a better place."  "At least she is at peace, now."   ... and so forth.

Thanks. Two weeks ago, it seemed as if I had dodged a bullet or two. I have two uncles and three aunts upon the brink, not even to mention my mom, who stresses herself out taking care of all of them.

NEVER could I have imagined it would have been her and so young and from such a sudden onset of a "normally"  controllable affliction. Never.

Well, rough times for some of my "friends,"  indeed, this one blow was the worst for me, bar none other.

I was looking so forward to a time when I could be with her again, with all that I have learned about autism in the past eight years or so. I had not seen her in over four years. :'(


That sucks. Sorry for your loss.

I was born with a missing knuckle on one hand, if you feel it there's just a weird hole. Probably not really useless personal trivia and might have something to do with the other shit with my skeleton and help the docs know what the fuck is wrong but oh well. :zoinks:

Can you use the finger where the knuckle's missing?

I can use it a little, but the range of motion sucks. The finger points out in a different direction to the others too. It's my little finger, if that helps.

Interesting! Slightly off-topic, I broke the tip of my left pinkie in a door-slamming accident last fall,
and it works OK but doesn't bend as far down as the other fingers do.
I also went to school with a guy whose middle joint on one finger was fused, so it didn't bend at that joint at all.   :nerd!:

I thank you all.


While I can make the best of all of your well wishing, I am beside myself for her.

I thank you all for your moments of compassion.


I am going to have a time before I get past this one thing. I think of all the things I have given up and most I never even think about again. This one person will take some time to give up. I still feel her as the amazing pleasure that she was.

She is the only non-verbal autistic I have known closely, as far as I know. 


 
I do not know that many non-verbal autistics, despite trying to take part as much as I can in some local classes. I actually only know eleven in person and I have only talked about my own kin, for obvious reasons.

I grew up around her though. I do know quite a lot. I kept her when she was an infant. I was a very young man. As I have come to realize, I never really knew her.

I was hoping for a time when I could be with her, with my present level of understanding of autism. 

The last time I was with her, I tried to play a kid-game upon her, by hiding a card, using sleight of hand tricks, much as one would do with any other child. I pretended to eat a card she had given me, just as one might play with another four year old (she was twenty something at the time, but assessed as a four year old)
She attacked me, viciously, and pried my mouth open to retrieve the card. It hurt!!  She was strong and having her try to rip my mouth apart to find her card was quite painful.  I showed her the card in my "sleighted hand" and she grabbed it away from me and turned her back on me, "forever."  As I said, I had no idea what a pure "BLACK AND WHITE"  understanding of the world could entail at the time. You could NOT joke with her. SHE was SERIOUS! 
She was also amazing in so many ways. Her speech was broken and spotty, but the simplicity of her interactions inspired many people.  She was honest as a sunrise, as harsh as ice and sometimes, as warm as the sun on a flower's face, but you could always expect that she was NOT joking with you. She was serious.

bodaccea, your story reminds me of the time when I was a kid and I thought how I really liked the smell of coffee, so a big spoonful of it should taste nice. It didn't, I remember spitting it into the sink. There was no one around so I didn't get caught.

Oh god hell yeeeaaahh!  Joseph was proper shafted like a bitch!!

He lost the plot after all that 'someone else porking his mrs' how do you do... :orgasm:
can't blame the man really can you.. someone impregnates his mrs before he even has
so much as a soapy tit wank..
....then she has a boy thats not his but 'allegedly' the son of god   ::) ::) ::)  not to mention all that rigmarole in the stable with the donkey's :deadhorse:
followed by some  shepherds gatecrashing (probably trying to have a perv at the virgin mary's vagina)
*which,  incidently was the first Joseph had seen of it too*
...he couldn't get it up after that you know....well Jesus didn't have any siblings did he...

hmmm Joseph musta been wicked in his previous life

At this point, so much has happened, that I am afraid that my original assessment is useless. It was supposed to happen in February, when we were slow at work, but I have injured it a bit since then along with fatiguing it severely, over and over.


I am afraid that I will have to start again with new X-rays, stress tests, stability tests, etc.

It has just been too long since my original assessment.


Right now, there is no scheduled time for the surgery.

Thanks.

I have had thoughts recently that I MUSt fight back against all this pain to my best, even my very last.

I feel that my KEEPING MOVING will help stay the ravages of age for as long as I can still move.

I am still strong, but a day is coming when I may only have one good arm or one good leg or just a pinky finger left. By all the forces I can muster, when that horrible day comes, I will still be fighting my best with just a fucking pinky, if that is all I have to fight with!

   A fighting spirit is great, but if your daily activities are stressing and damaged an already-injured hip, you may need to take it easy when you can.
   That wouldn't be weak, it would be strategic.  Please make your health a priority and get that hip repaired ASAP.   :-\

I had to wear a special belly button band (wide elastic with a round disk in front with a bump that went into my navel) when I was an infant to prevent a hernia or something.

When I was little (about 4 I think) I had to wear a patch over my right eye to make my left eye work otherwise the doctors said I would go blind in the left eye. My mum just told me about that not long ago, I had no idea.

I remember wearing the patch though and how annoying it was.

Do you remember it? You are the only person I know to have similar eye issues to me.

How is your healing eye by the way?

Simplification:

Sounds like "lazy eye" AKA  amblyopia.  It's when the brain uses one eye for seeing.  If the brain isn't forced to use the other eye the brain won't recognize or use the weak or lazy eye.  So they cover the good eye forcing the brain to see through the weaker one and preserving vision through both eyes.

Yes, I remember. It was a pain. I got my first glasses when I was around two or three, and the patch inside the thick glasses was so bad that I made sure that it was a pain to my mum as well.

It's getting better, thanks. It's still sensitive and itchy, and people tend to stare at the eye because it's still red, but I think it will be fine, eventually. Right when it's time for my next op.

I love birds.. well, since childhood days, I think.. and I 'inherited' this 'philos' from my grandfather and father. Glad I did too.

Um, for a couple of years now I've made friends with my garden Blackbird (Turdus merula) and like a (house) pet he tends to beg for
food on quite a regular basis now. Well, he hops around the bench I'm sitting on outside and makes little noises.. and um, I 'sweet'-talk or
whistle something back.

And um, get inside to get him some food..

Think with a little effort I could make the chap eat out of my hand (did that with a perfectly wild turtle dove before) but think now,
that's too much interference on my part in the natural scheme of things.

Before I pour some boiled water in a cup to make me some tea.. I first put some dried thyme* in the cup.. and then..

(ooh, the suspense.. )  :green:

.. I put the tea bag in it.



*thyme is very rich in iron and this way I get a little extra iron in my system.

Um, maybe don't use too much of thyme for it's quite strong in taste ofc..

Also must add here that the body is quite a tad more efficient in taken up iron via foods as (red) meat and fish (haem-iron).
Oh, and extra vitamin C intake is also an advice to give with iron deficits.

What I do is I divide an orange in 4 (or 6) parts and eat the parts spread out through the day. Plus I put some lemon juice
in every glass of water I take. Um, although I do take them daily I'm not so sure vita. C supplements help that much.

Oh, duh.. your fruit juices are excellent too here of course.

Well it worked because I can see through both eyes. My left eye is still not that good though and my brain prefers my right eye. I have to wear prismatic lenses to bring the left eye in to align with the right eye.

And another thing that parts reminded me of, I knocked myself out falling backwards on concrete when I was about thirteen. The back of my head is still sensitive where I hit it.

Thanks for the link. Read it and wondered a bit about what the odds are some infected person would've defecated in my garden. Well, the article says persons and the odds are very slim there.. but good to know overall, I reckon.

Mice, hedgehog, frogs, all sorts of birds and not that far away dogs do shit in/near it.. and that's a thing to consider, I think. Some could carry some (diff.) parasitic worms that could do harm also maybe.

OK, no more weeding without socks/shoes then (that was stupid) but going to remain a bare-footer for sure. Really don't like the elastic in socks around my feet and ankles.

Um, useless personal trivia.. 5 years ago it would've almost freaked me out hearing/reading such info.. no kid ya.. (but not so much nowadays any more)  Um, :plus: -ing myself here.

Dogs and cats both carry hookworms as well.  Do you have any outdoor cats near your garden?
Title: Re: Useless Personal Trivia
Post by: lutra on May 13, 2011, 03:55:59 PM
There are a couple of cats yes.. but they only dare to go in the garden when I'm not around. You see I'm a bird 'lover' and surely in Springtime I do not welcome cats here. Well, I would never physically harm a cat, I just loudly clap my hands to chase them off and do this to protect 'my' birds and their offspring.

Cats know the drill by now and probably only visit the garden when they're sure I'm not there.. which is quite often ofc.... so yeah, you have a point there as well.

Still not that worried here but I'll be a bit more cautious now.

(Going to check if Holland has similar problems with hookworms and such.. might not be that big of a problem here.. Dunno)

But if I could, I would. I hate wearing socks and not a fan of shoes much either. My daughter is the same. We have a 30 mins drive home from school and as soon as I pick her up, the first thing she does is take off her shoes and socks. :laugh:

We have wolf spiders here too but can't say I'm afraid of them. Heard about its nasty bite too but think they shit their pants 413.45 times more than I should be afraid for a bite.

Spiders are über-sensitive and surely this family (Lycosidae) are non-aggressive towards humans.. they've sensed a person coming from far away and yeah.. hide, as quick as they can. Bet (me assuming here) that also Canada has little reports about folks being bitten by one. But but but not sure..


Yeah, socks? Tiz that I'm not the sandal type of dude but otherwise.. maybe.. (go barefoot in them, I mean)

(Thanks for the plus, CG. Um, me, myself, I.. have trouble plussing folks.. Dunno, it's not in my system or something.. Do read good posts and/or favour folks a plus but.. tjah.. )

I've been bit by a wolf spider more than once and by a poisionous spider twice (the brown recluse) and remember my Nanny's wolf spider bite on her face, near her eye. I seem to attract bites so I'm uber cautious. :laugh:

^ Is that a brown recluse? That's what bit me. I've been bitten twice. The first time while I was pregnant with monkeyboy. They had to pump me full of steroids because the bite was so nasty and it turned out being why he was in such good shape being born as a preemie. His lungs were more developed than they should have been for 33.5 weeks. Although he wasn't breathing when he was born, but over all he could have been worse off.

I grew up in Alabama, and there's a lot about it to like as well, like the way people are so friendly and go out of their way to help one another.

There was a time that I had car trouble near Montgomery and a lady kept her store open late so she could wait with me for my dad to come, rather than leave me to wait alone.  Another time I had car trouble near Birmingham and a man stopped and helped me push my car off I-20, then gave me a ride to a nearby exit where he knew a safe place for me to wait for a tow truck and even let me borrow his cell phone to call my mom.

What difference does it really make if people are telling you that you will go to a place that you don't believe even exists?

You may be allergic to the metal in less expensive earrings.  Also the gold earrings are sometimes soldered with cheaper metal so that you can have an allergic reaction.  I cannot even wear a watch because the "glow" from my wrist reacts with the watch back and I get a reaction.

Yeah, the diamond thing is a joke. 

What most people are allergic to in metals is nickel.  Nickel is fairly common in metal jewelry.  You can put nail polish on the back of some items to avoid contact with your skin, wear a necklace under the collar rather than touching the skin, use non-metallic jewelry, etc.  I have some pieces that I put on a ribbon that's long enough for the locket to set on clothing rather than my skin.

My wife has the same problem with Nickel which they use in earrings, but any jewelry used in a "piercing" anywhere else should be surgical stainless steel, which is impossible to be allergic to as it is completely non-reactive.

Yes I am allergic to nickle. I am allergic to almost anything but food. I also get very tiny red marks from the injections I take, but it goes away immediately and leaves no marks because the needle is so tiny. I cant do silver either. I can wear pure silver rings but they leave a "glow" as well. And I cant do silver piercings.  Ive never tried gold earnings. Ive had better things to buy than solid gold earrings. :D Maybe I could try. It would be worth it to me now. My wedding ring was gold and I never had an issue with that.

I had the same problem with the back of my watch, which was stainless steel, BTW, making a rash on the back of my wrist.  I have a solid gold watch now and I don't have any problems with it at all even though it's not 24 karat gold, which I think would be too soft to use in jewelry. 

I think that white gold has some nickel in it as well, so you would need to wear yellow gold if you're allergic to nickel.

I suppose anything is possible, but steel suture is what they use on allergic patients and I have never heard of someone having a reaction to an implant such as bone screws, pins, artificial hips, etc.  It might not be hypoallergenic, but I do believe it is as close as it gets.

He's probably in his late 20's.  He has mental limitations and autism.  He is so lonely for friends (outside of his church and work whom I think are adults) that this is one way he tries.  He always includes an exact date for you to call his mom to RSVP.

With my own cell-phone I am very careful. Need it for banking. Don't want that number to be culled by vodafone.

Thinking on a sim-only subscription of 2.50 a month for my girl.

^ Ja, good thing for your daughter to have a working cell-phone when travelling and sim-only is, I think, a sensible solution. Or, less expensive, you (others) could phone her at least, say, every 2/3 weeks to prevent the prepaid account will be deleted.  :orly:

With Vodafone it still would require a half year uploading of the pre-paid.

And it seems to depend on what time and what location if you can upload only 10 euro. Most of the time it is a minimum of 20 euro.

Vodafone is the only one with an almost decent reach here though.  :P

My garden however does happen to be in a very small area where the reach is less than should be, even for Vodafone.

And no kid ya.. with the dart still stuck in the back of the same hand I punched the fucker in the face tantrum style after I immediately knew that it wasn't by accident this time.

That is exactly the reason clean shaven is mandated in the refineries. However, unless a person has been tested for fit and minimum lung function, the refinery will not allow them to use a respirator for CYA purposes. I have used them on a couple of occasions when replacing thermocouples in furnaces, for RCF protection, and in a desalter. In those cases the refinery had the contractor take care of fit testing for liability purposes.

I get that too, especially if I am going to sleep and there is a noise.

I can't cook either, the best I can do is heat things up in the microwave. That is what I have just done for my dinner.

You scramble the egg before hand, put it in a bowl or cup  and put it in the microwave, watching it until it's done to your liking.  It comes out like an omelet rather than the curdish looking eggs.  I find they have a different taste when cooked in a microwave and don't particularly care for it.

i find that i have to stop the microwave every few seconds and rescramble, sometimes adding a little milk.  Egg cooks so quickly you have to time it just right, and keep it even, otherwise as QV said it goes a bit rubbery.  In my case,  plastered in brown sauce,  rubbery isn't that bad.   

Oh yeah i sometimes put cheese in it,  yummy yummy easy peasy :weird:

Cooking!   I was once very keen to make a 'go of it' when i took my

first cookery lesson in senior school.  I guess i was 12 years old.

Lesson 1
Toad in the hole
result  =  not bad at all

Lesson 2
Swiss roll
Our teacher informed us of the ingredients needed,  and she said to make
sure to bring a tin as well to take the swiss roll home in.
I  thought i was very smart by taking in a 'marvel tin'  as it was round and
oblong like the roll.   Huh...
Actually when it came out it looked quite good.  It certainly didn't stand
out from my classmates versions.  Feeling pleased i packed away and went
on my merry way home.

It went in the tin beautifully at school.  It had however expanded
inside the tin.  I tried to slide it out.  No joy.  Put knife in at opposite
ends and tried to coax it out.  It started to break up.

I always remember my brother nearly wetting himself with laughter as
my mom 'spooned' it out at the table. 

I seethed.  Red faced and humiliated.

were over.!! :grrr:

Bodie - Be glad you're not alone in kitchen missteps.

The first meal I cooked was french toast.  But I knew that food should be colorful, so I colored the egg mixture GREEN.  When cooked, green french toast gets a little golden in areas and is not at all appetizing.  Imagine a martian with scabs. I ended up eating all of the french toast because no one would touch it.  Moral of the story - if you like something a lot make it look unappetizing.  You can have it all then.

In truth whenever I'm cooking a dish for the first time I don't like anyone to help with the actual cooking because I need to react quickly if it's not turning out the way I think it should.

The first time I baked chocolate chip cookies at home for my family after I learned to make them in Home Economics class at school, I was too impatient to wait for the oven to preheat, so I put them in too early.  All the cookies ran together and I wound up with one huge round chocolate chip cookie.  It still tasted good anyway.

Remembering further back, I remember when I was eight years old and my mother was in the hospital with a badly broken ankle.  My dad was used to her cooking breakfast for him every morning, so even though I had only helped her make scrambled eggs before and she always took them off the heat for me when they were done, he decided that since I was the only other female in the house I should get up at 5 AM and cook his breakfast.

So I tried.  I knew how to break the eggs and scramble them in the bowl and how to turn on the stove and stir them around in the pan so they wouldn't stick.  What I didn't know was how to judge when they were cooked enough and take them off the heat and put them onto the plate.  So I stirred and stirred and stirred until my dad came to take them off the heat for me.  The scrambled eggs looked like little round BBs by then and were completely inedible.   After that, my dad decided that he would cook hs own eggs.

Isn't your credit card customer service available around the clock?

Also, I think that you should be able to set up an online bill paying account for the credit card if it's a major one like Chase or Citibank by going to their website, then you could view your account activity any time you wanted.

Here's a link for Citibank:

My pelvis was angled upward on the left, northward at thirteen degrees, thus causing my left leg to fall short by more than half an inch, resulting in the horror associated with my hip joint, which caused the pain to become unlivable.

It is much better after surgery and a month of physical therapy.

I think you have the right to refuse any treatment you don't want, including anaesthesia.

I was given a paper before the colonoscopy that said Blue Cross has decided that anesthesia is not medically necessary for a colonoscopy and they won't pay for it, so if I had Blue Cross insurance (which I do not) and wanted anaesthesia for the procedure, I would have had to pay the $200 out of pocket myself today, or I could have refused all anaesthesia and saved the $200.  I had propofol, the anaesthetic that killed Michael Jackson because one should only use this while being monitored by an anaesthesiologist, which I was.

I'm glad you and I slept through it because I read mixed stories about people who were awake for it.  Some found it to be not that bad while others described it as gut wrenching horrible pain.

I remember freaking the resident and eye surgeon when I had one of my cataract surgeries.  When I prepped for the surgery and feeling very, very nice, I told them  that when I was 80 I was going to try drugs because I loved how loopy they make you feel.  Instant halt, "Do you take drugs, etc?"  "No, when I'm 80 I will."

^ I'm not as stringent with the even number thing as I was before but still tend to avoid almost every setting (for what ever apparatus) to end up with an uneven number. This also goes for chopping food up in the kitchen, designing/making something with wood, other things..

Um, OK, I'm still quite stringent with it.  :zoinks:

OK, so what is more important, an even number of chopping up movements, or an even number of cucumber-slices? OR will you go for crescents, just to make both even?

Mmmm. I wish for an even number of slices of something/food mostly.. and sometimes I don't pay attention much or give a hoolah about it though. Say chopping up a leek in rings. Well, surely I don't freak out when the even-urge is not possible.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACLU
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) consists of two separate non-profit organizations: the ACLU Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization which focuses on litigation and communication efforts, and the American Civil Liberties Union, a 501(c)(4) organization which focuses on legislative lobbying. The ACLU's stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States." It works through litigation, legislation, and community education. Founded in 1920 by Crystal Eastman, Roger Baldwin and Walter Nelles, the ACLU was the successor organization to the earlier National Civil Liberties Bureau founded during World War I. The ACLU reported over 500,000 members in 2010.


Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEET
N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide, abbreviated DEET, is a slightly yellow oil.  It is the most common active ingredient in insect repellents.  It is intended to be applied to the skin or to clothing, and is primarily used to repel mosquitoes.

http://www.go.to/aclu  the site has pop ups and those annoying top of the page adds but it's there.  I guess they don't get as much funding as the ACLU here in the US http://www.aclu.org/ 

Many find these organizations offensive as they defend people such as the KKK and Nazis but I feel they have a right to express their views as much as I do and that the more people who hear what they are really about the more people will see them as the repugnant turds they are.

I didn't think your bladder had to be uncomfortably full for a transvaginal ultrasound.  Maybe they are going to do a transabdominal ultrasound first, then let you pee and do a transvaginal.  I have had several of both kinds.  I think that it's cute that they unroll a condom onto the transvaginal probe.

Shortly after, Chesterfield cigarettes company did a parody of the B&H ad campaign and introduced a cigarette called "Chesterfield 101's" with the catchphrase "a silly millimeter longer."

I sleep on a thick firm mattress that rests on a frame of wooden slats that lays on the floor. No bed frame (with head-, foot-board and side rails).  :orly: Um, this, without a bed frame and thus not p/m 50 cms above the ground, for almost 30 years now. (slept in other beds but this suits me)   (dunno)

Grades k-5 the school property backed up to ours so the equivalent of about 8 blocks grade six and up about two miles.  Where I live now the school will not let them do it at all till I think second grade.

I had to walk about a kilometre I think. Before we moved it was more, and, there was a busy road to cross, so, my Mum brought me and my brother on her bicycle.

Here my youngest did not want to be picked up from school from grade two on, and, she was safe in crossing the streets, so, I let her. No busy roads, though, at school, the danger is the highest, with lots of people bringing their kids by car. Some even bring their kid by car when it is less than 100 metre.......

People will never stop to amaze me I guess.

That's normal.  Most people sleep on one side and therefore one side of the face is changed by the pressure of sleeping.

Not quite what I wanted to show, but this website shows people whose photos of their faces were split and flipped to show both sides as a completely symmetrical face.

AFAIK my teeth are fairly normal sized.  My mouth is a bit on the small size and a smaller toothbrush lets me get further back so I can brush my back teeth more effectively.  Also the softer bristles are gentler on dental enamel.  I buy them from the Dollar Tree in a pack of 2.  Cheap enough that I discard them after a month's usage.

^ Wish I could give you some simple advice there, CBC.. but I can't. Maybe 'steaming' under a towel above a pan with hot water and some Vicks Vaporub in it might give some relieve. Don't overdo it and if it feels too uncomfortable stop.

Plus for me goes with influenza like ailments, noticing the pre-signs, I start drinking a lot of cold water (more than I already do) and try to up my vitamin C, via citrus fruits, intake.

Um, in line here, as an useful personal trivium.. I drink my bottled water ice cold and squeeze the juice of a lemon (p/m ¼) through it. This almost by default (if I haven't forgot to buy a couple).

Hope you feel a tadski better soon, CBC.

No tonsils or ocular lenses, but appendix and gall bladder, unmentionable organs are in situ.

I puzzle why I've not had gall bladder problems (female, fair, fat and 40) while PA had his removed.  Also he's missing tonsils and appendix, part of his ankle, parts of his eyes (corneal and cataract surgeries).  Maybe I should have gotten a discount when I got him.

I wouldn't want them out.  I think of all the times i had that infection they kind of blocked it going deeper inside me,  somewhere,  in my innards.  Somewhere worse i suspect.  There cosmetic appearance is not really important and it's the first thing i would show off to any new dates. :zoinks:

Expensive though.  FUCK now I have a craving for it and it's not the easiest thing to find either

 That's true, I never see it in the supermarket.  Good luck on your mission!  :viking:
Gift shops are where you normally see it here in the Northeast anyway.  I think I know a place but I think it's closed

 Wait till tomorrow, be brave and you shall be rewarded!  :viking:

I wonder where it's available in other parts of the world

 Time to do a search and have some flown to you!   :plane:

Stove top in a frying pan was my first thought.  I'm a creative cooker.  I've boiled hot dogs in a fry pan and fried more than one batch of ground meat in a saucepan.

I have been on vacation from work.

We drove my new car (I bought a black Escalade last month) down to see my mom in Texas.

She is happy, healthy, getting fucking old (!!), but still keeps about two hundred fucking goats, forty something sheep, eight horses, three burros, about fifty ducks and nearly a thousand chickens  (WTF!!).

We had a blast, especially the kids.

The trip was fun, too!

It had been a while since I had traveled by car to "anywhere."

I remember when we had our rabbit stay with my husband's parents while we went to Epcot Center and visited some friends and family for our first anniversary.  When we came to pick him up, he hopped into his cage, turned his back on us, and sulked.  He finally got over it and decided to forgive us for leaving him with them.

I had four and they were huge, almost as big as horse teeth.

Not surprisingly, I had to have them cut out.

I had hoped my daughter wouldn't have to deal with this because an earlier x-ray didn't show any, but she has four.  Unfortunately, they aren't letting her 12 year old molars come in properly and they need to be cut out.

Saw him today, he seems to be meticulous, and calm. Good combination.

Next appointment with him will probably be about a crown. The cheaper option is decaying.

We discussed extracting my third (and last) wisdom tooth too. Can wait a little longer, but, it is not worth repairing, if it would get bad, because there is no juxtaposing tooth to make it a functional one.

When I was 8 years old I found a strange hole between my legs. I didn't know what a vagina was, so I figured it was a spare butthole in case the first one stopped working. I told people back then I had 2 buttholes. Another thing I considered it being was a seam like a hole on glassware. I was worried if I reached in far enough I could touch my heart and lungs.

Actuallly,   left was a  Reebok (cross trainer, but seeemingly focused more on the instep in my view) and the right was a New Balance, which seemed more focused by design on the ball of the foot.

It would seem that identifying ones infernal damned weaknesses in this area and compensating with specific footwear might produce a kind of advantage.

I have to make an orthodontist appointment. I am meant to have a full length retainer wire behind my top teeth but the glue came off ages ago. I just left it until a few weeks ago when half of the wire itself came loose and I had to bend it and snap it off. The bottom wire is fine though. I haven't been to the orthodontist in about two years.

A few weeks? It's been almost a month, why haven't you called them yet?





Apparently I'm a babbling drunk. Felt kinda like a hypomanic episode, I was just rambling about whatever popped into my head...

Last year I went to a formal event, free drinks, so I drank a lot. About 14 glasses of wine, reds and whites and my own mix. Didn't get drunk, get a bit buzzed, but that's all.

Last night I went to another formal event, also free drinks. I drank the wine again, and within two drink I was already a bit light headed, so I paced myself...But by the end of the evening I was drunk. To the point my coordination was impaired. I had less than half what I had at the other event.... The difference being the meds I'm now on (eg: lithium)...

It does but I have DS with me 90% of the time and if I'm stressed I do better if I can go by myself and he's not ready to be left on his own yet. Even if it were a quick 2km walk. So I don't get to go as much as I would like. When the kids are with their Dad, I go hiking a lot.

I don't like the color orange

Be glad you don't live hear, especially in the summers of the even years. Orangemania all over the place.

Not having to wear a black and orange polyester uniform any more makes me happy.

The colors of my high school were orange and black and they painted EVERYTHING orange with black trim and all the uniforms except ROTC were orange trimmed with black :GA:

Poor you.

So glad we did not have uniforms in school. Having an orange obligatory school diary was the worst they did to me, when it comes to colours.

One day someone said they thought I was 19 (about their age), and I laughed and replied that I wished I was ten year youger than I was.

I then realised how old that made me sound... If I was 19 and wish I was a decade younger, I'd be aiming at 9!

Yes Sarasota,  It was the winter home before they moved down a town to Venice.  It's also the home of the Ringling Museum which is about a block from my sister's house and the Clown College.  It was an interesting place to grow up I knew tight rope walkers and trapeze people who had set ups in their back yards to practice on.  My sister was friends with a couple who had 12 chimps

And ja, the stubbles do suck a bit but they're not the same there as those on my chin (for instance). Less hard.. or annoying.

I fell asleep in the pictures seeing that same movie,  Hunt for Red October,  since then i have tried to watch it on TV at least twice and always fell asleep.

I loathe these spellings in Swedish: bensin, oxi-, blont, vit. The correct spellings should be benzin, oxy-, blondt, hvit.

Since the mixture of hydrocarbons used to run cars on is named after Carl Benz, the only proper form is benzin, just like it is in German, Dutch and Danish.

Oxy- is Greek, so it should rightfully be an y. Y is also a wovel in words that are 100% Swedish and has a different phonetic quality than the i, so there is no point in avoiding it just to simplify things for the semi-illiterate.

Blond is the root form, and the Danes still spell it blondt in the neutral form. The Danes also spell hvid and it is also obviously related to English white. The current false spelling forms are a result of the spelling "reform" in 1906.

Lo, I'm right as usual: hwitaz (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Proto-Germanic/hw%C4%ABtaz)

They even spell it with the h before the w, which is actually the really old Nordic spelling. V should of course be spelled with a w when it corresponds to the phoneme that w still represents in English.   :viking:

I don't really know.  What I do recall is telling myself before I started on my 2 trips to Europe was that I was NOT going to have any trouble sleeping on the train.  I also spent quite a few months working 10 hour days away from home and knew I had to be alert in order to get to work for 7 a.m., so I "knew" I had to fall asleep fast.

Actually I fall asleep quicker away from home than I do at home.

In order to pass a budget you have to have both parties willing to work together for the common welfare of the citizens

Cant do that when you have one party sitting on their hands, just to get the "nigger" out the white house

I was born on the same day my oldest sister turned 6 years old. She wished (on her wish-list) to get a little brother and a baby buggy for her birthday.. and ja, was granted (tomorrow, 42 years ago).

(Aaaawwww.. )

My mom's two younger sisters were born exactly seven years apart on July 7.

Another UPT? Well, I thought of this whilst I was boiling an egg 15 minutes ago: I don't (never/try to avoid) eat my (soft) boiled egg outside in the garden for I don't want the wild birds there to see I eat eggs.  :zoinks: They might think.. what an asshole..

I have been to a cardiologist and he gave me an ECG and of course my heart behaved itself the whole time. He said ectopic beats were pretty common and that a lot of people don't even notice when they have them. But to me, mine are very noticeable. I don't have a murmur as far as I know.

I do not have a fear of heights.  I can stand quite still on a high structure and feel fine.  What I fear is fallling.  If I'm swaying or what I'm in (ferris wheel) is moving I get terrified and elevators/escalators don't bother me. 

Oddly enough I tried to cure myself by riding the Reisenradt (sp?) in Vienna.  Didn't have a single moment of fear, possibly because the whole "room" was moving.  Tried another carnival ride and terror was back.

The Reisenradt was back in 1976, the carnival ride was in 1984.  Ever since then it's been the occasional school fair ride, which since the PR is no longer in school isn't a bother.  In any case between spine and neck arthritis, fast rides are out.

Indeed. And to make matters worse, AFAIK, there was no official "grammar" back then.

It's like Middle Egyptian. The hieroglyphs depended not on a single grammar but several, because the written language evolved over time just as the spoken did, and the glyphs reflected the current period rather than a specific grammar. They also changed according to the writer's whims and artistic talent.

Others should wage war, you happy Austria marry.
Because what Mars gives others, the divine Venus gives you.

This is from an old Greek myth originally. Protesilaos was the first Greek setting his foot on the attacked mainland and the first to be killed. To comfort his widow, the gods allowed him to share bed with her for three hours. When the three hours had passed, her heart, too, broke, and they were united on the other side. The gods commented their decision thus: Bella gerant alii, Protesilaos amet; Others should make war, Protesilaos should make love :)

Most times I never go anywhere. I just plan a vacation down to every little detail to get an idea of what it will cost but I don't book anything. The cool thing is that I've got files of potential vacations and when I do get time, I pull one out and double check the details and take off. Right now I can only afford due to time and money, once a year, someplace close. Won't go away until March.

Our vacations are when we run away from hurricanes.  Three days in a humid hotel room made me appreciate the pioneers with several kids living in the same amount of space.  We did have lights, A/C and a hot breakfast, running water, and a complaining child.

The employee handbook claims they do.  We will find out after I graduate as I will need 2 months off to study for the Bar Exam.  10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 2 months is what I have been told is the absolute minimum I should expect to put in.  Anything less and I shouldn't even bother taking it.  :zombiefuck:

I still make too many mistakes when learning Latin.  :thumbdn:

My only comfort is that the "ordinary" Roman 2000 years ago probably made many more. One can see pretty gross grammatical mistakes in Roman grafitti, for instance.

And if one, 2000yrs from now, were to judge English by the graffiti now days you'd come to similar conclusions.

Imagine the internet is still functional or accessible in some form 1000 years from now, and some cyber-archaeologist stumbles upon this site to learn something about history and language.  Unfortunately, the only posts that survive come from Richard.

That must not happen!  :bigcry:

I, as well,  have a great deal of experience in managing pain.

But, mostly, I find that the pain itself can manage quite well on its own. It has proven to be a highly qualified, high bidding self-starter, always finding a way to make itself a contender, attempting to be the center of every event, often taking the floor over more vociferous litigants, antagonists and agonists all while wearing mostly conservative earth tones or pastels.

That's one of the reasons I was puzzled, I did not use a pen enough to get callouses, and certainly not a spot that thick.

Oiling my tables is a good plan for next week. Front table, oak, with linseed oil. Dining table, teak, with walnut oil. Rub it in, let it set, and then go for the polishing frenzy. Not something to do every week, but, doing it now and then is a real treat.

I could have gotten a learners permit at 15 and an unrestricted  regular one at 16 but things have changed where I live now there are all kinds of restrictions when your under 18 now.  The thought being it would prevent 16 -17 years olds having as many accidents due to inexperience but all it's done is make them wait till they are 18 to get their license  pushing the accidents 18 and 19.

Title: Re: Useless Personal Trivia
Post by: lutra on November 09, 2012, 08:09:10 AM
^ In my days of pimplehood, 124 years ago, I had to really watch what I ate. No pork, no fast food snacks, no chocolate, peanuts, etc.. and that kind of helped. Probably the base of me being a bit religious about the food I eat nowadays is laid in those days.

Good the cream works for you.. but the stuff I tried, like said p/m 248 years ago, hardly had an effect contra pimples. Plus, being the stimming spazz I was (462 years ago) I couldn't refrain myself to not touch the spots.. and ja, that's NOT really helpful either.

Hardly have them nowadays though.. maybe if you fancy.. you could include a glass, or bowl, of a sour milk product into your daily diet. Probiotica, yoghurt-based drinks, buttermilk, etc.. those seem to work a little not getting them in the first place (it's said).
Title: Re: Useless Personal Trivia
Post by: renaeden on November 09, 2012, 08:17:24 AM
Heh, all those years... You are not much older than me.

I have tried an elimination diet in the past, no chocolate, no fizzy drinks, no artificial colours, no caffeine. It didn't work. Didn't help my IBS either.

That is interesting about the yoghurt though, I never knew that. I haven't had it in a long time.

I know if I stopped using the cream my face would erupt again.
Title: Re: Useless Personal Trivia
Post by: lutra on November 09, 2012, 09:05:02 AM
(um, the year-thing.. is just me 'doing' silly)

Well, I believe in what one eats (and drink) is linked with the way one feels and how s/o's body reacts to it (or how one physically 'feels'). Pimples (here and there/at times/other skin buggery) could be a sign you eat something your body doesn't 'agree with'.

The pimple in my ear now.. is probably there cause I ate bacon twice this week (evening-dishes), ate a couple of mini lions (the choc. bar) and drank a couple of glasses of hot chocolate. Oh, to be honest, I was a tadski nervous earlier this week also. Those things have influence.. and resulted (no drama whatsoever though) in me having.. ja, this spot.

Um, IBS? Dunno.. could be a reaction of your body to the food you eat also.. but but but, I have too little an insight in this to claim anything here. I shouldn't. Perhaps, suit self of course, you could, one day, consult a dietician and together look at your diet. That might be helpful. Piecemeal including good foods into your diet and step by step excluding the less positive factors.

Oh, wish not to push/might come across as such.. of course, suit self.. just hope the bothers lessen in the future for you.

The other I don't have a design for because a friend of mine is a tattoo artist and I want her to design/tattoo it. It's of a busted heart mended back together.

One will be on the back of my shoulder, not sure about the other.

I'm not sure if this matters to you, but if you donate blood, you may not be able to do it after tattooing.  In Louisiana there are certain restrictions on what kinds (place that did it) of tattoos are allowed for blood donors.  Entirely ignorant of Canadian blood donor policies.

I can't donate anyway because I have CFS which they believe has an association with a virus called xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV). It's an automatic rejection.

Does anyone else in your family have it? I see a strong genetic link through women. I know a lot of mother/daughter combos that both have it but it's usually the eldest daughter. My Mum has it too, as do I, but my youngest sister doesn't.

Running outside, for a quick errand, on bare feet, in the snow, it leaves your feet with a fantastic glow, when you are inside again. Good way to start the day feeling warm.

Hope we will have snow again this winter.

(Wet soggy sleet does not do the trick that well, it's proper snow that is the best)

^ Um, I have p/m the same thing. Not certain as of why also.

Maybe.. the mess it tends to make? The time it takes in the oven? The times it went wrong before? The disappointment from that? More precise measurements of the ingredients? The oven making noise in the process to pre-heat the føcker?

The latter makes me go hyper and quite stressy.

Dunno.. prolly the summa of said stuff..

Cookig is quite a bit easier, you can fudge the recipe a bit here and there and it will still turn out okay. Baking is closer to chemistry. All the ingredients need to be just right, and measured in weight, not volume.

I like baking, when in the mood. I just jumble things together for my quiches, and they turn out well almost always. Nothing tricky with measurements. Same with things like muffins or bread.

If I leave the bathroom door open he will jump up on the counter, open the medicine cabinet door, and empty it onto the sink like a small child. He's a ginger and has black freckles on his mischevious face.

My barber may have just had a bad day or he may be skipping a step due to age catching up. Yesterday he trimmed off almost half my left eyebrow after knicking my left ear with the straight razor. He is 84 and real cool. I am not going to give up on him yet because he is a real good barber and I think that going into work and bsing with him customers has kept him fit. He keeps Playboy, Penthouse, Popular Mechanics and Maxim magazine in his shop so it has a good atmosphere. I hope he has a few good years left.

I did not. I could see everything clear, in my memory. Couple of months ago, there was a car ad on TV, where they had done a trick with the images. It looked a lot like how I saw the world as a kid. Did not see that ad again, alas.

No, I never did. I only realised it was weird after it had gone. Who was I to question my sight, when I could see everything well? I did love it though. And the effect was stronger on brighter days.
Have wondered if it was something similar to old printing, when colourrosters are not aligned well. As if my head was not ready to get the whole spectrum aligned the way it should be. But, then the things I saw should not be as clear as they were.
Title: Re: Useless Personal Trivia
Post by: odeon on March 28, 2013, 05:01:53 PM
I was thinking defective optics, basically. The symptoms are rather obvious, with reds and blues shifted along the spectrum. This happens naturally but if you have specific refractive errors, the problems will be more obvious. I'm thinking corneal damage, problems with intra ocular pressure, anything that causes the kind of spectral shifts that you described.

My school never went further than javelin-throwing. The year after I graduated there, I heard the name of my school in the news on the radio. A pupil had managed to throw through a car. Knowing the situation of the sports field, and the parking-lot, it had me puzzled for quite a while.

We had archery in gym also and the 4H(agriculture students) kids carried big buck knives on their belts.  I did live down south though

A good buck-knife was on my requirements list too, when I went to uni. Agricultural subject. Loved that knife. I guess it is a requirement for agricultural students in secondary schooling here too, depending on the direction they choose. I did not have agriculture in secondary schooling though, so, not sure about that.

For those of you capable of a little bit of Dutch, it may be fun.

Have done the test before (two months ago, I think). My score then was 87%. Did it again p/m 10 minutes ago and..

'Je hebt 93% van de woorden juist herkend.
Je hebt 11% van de niet-bestaande woorden verkeerd herkend.
Dit geeft je een gecorrigeerde score van 93% - 11% = 82%.'

Um, which I consider quite a low score.

Conclusion: in both test I tend to think a couple of words are correct but they really aren't, thus. Well, frikkin' snifftoed fartsythia..

Wouldn't have mattered.  It was an all-girls public school.  Over 3,000 students, all girls.  Our school board's answer to integration.  Can't have those black boys contaminating our white lilies.  We had 3 high schools in the 1960's; one male, one female and one mixed (that school was on a isolated island (Grand Isle) about 90 miles away from the rest of the parish.)

I love those things, neighbor used to buy them by the boatload. His favorite too. Last check up they told him his sugar was a bit high, so he stopped.

I really miss that candy dish by the computer, when I buy them here I never seem to get any unless I hide them. :LOL:

I got a second opinion via wedmd, and the first thing that came up was meningitis. I think I will go to the doc if I am still sick in a day or two. I've never had these symptoms before:
Fever
headaches and dizziness
muscle achiness all over
fatigue
decreased appetite

BUT, no runny nose, no rash, no throwing up, no diarrhea. I did have some diarrhea the first day, but none since and it wasn't super watery either. I am pissed at my mom, I told her I was sick and she went and ate my leftovers (that I couldn't stomach). I will be so angry with her if this is meningitis because she takes care of an old man with dementia and this could very well kill him.

I've had my vaccine when I was 18, but it could be bacterial.

I'll go to the doc if I think it's thats bad. I would think the flu is more or less the same severity though. If I am the same amount sick tomorrow I will call for an appointment. Right now I am just geekin over the fact that I don't have a runny nose or sore throat which in my life has generally accompanied fever. I am just interested, not particularly worried :)

Meningitis often comes with a red rash.
Can you bend your head forward, so that your chin can touch your chest? With meningitis, that would be really hard, if not impossible to do.

AN OLD MAN WITH A BUCKET OF SHRIMP
 
  It happened every Friday evening, almost without fail, when the sun
resembled a giant orange and was starting to dip into the blue ocean.
 
  Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier.
Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket of shrimp. Ed walks out to the
end of the pier, where it seems he almost has the world to himself.
The glow of the sun is a golden bronze now.
 
  Everybody's gone, except for a few joggers on the beach. Standing
out on the end of the pier, Ed is alone with his thoughts...and his
bucket of shrimp.
 
  Before long, however, he is no longer alone. Up in the sky a
thousand white dots come screeching and squawking, winging their way
toward that lanky frame standing there on the end of the pier.
 
  Before long, dozens of seagulls have enveloped him, their wings
fluttering and flapping wildly. Ed stands there tossing shrimp to the
hungry birds. As he does, if you listen closely, you can hear him say
with a smile, 'Thank you. Thank you.'
 
  In a few short minutes the bucket is empty. But Ed doesn't leave.
 
  He stands there lost in thought, as though transported to another
time and place.
 
  When he finally turns around and begins to walk back toward the
beach, a few of the birds hop along the pier with him until he gets to
the stairs, and then they, too, fly away. And old Ed quietly makes his
way down to the end of the beach and on home.
 
  If you were sitting there on the pier with your fishing line in the
water, Ed might seem like 'a funny old duck,' as my dad used to say.
Or, to onlookers, he's just another old codger, lost in his own weird
world, feeding the seagulls with a bucket full of shrimp.
 
  To the onlooker, rituals can look either very strange or very empty.
They can seem altogether unimportant ... maybe even a lot of nonsense.
 
  Old folks often do strange things, at least in the eyes of Boomers and Busters.
 
  Most of them would probably write Old Ed off, down there in Florida .
That's too bad. They'd do well to know him better.
 
  His full name: Eddie Rickenbacker . He was a famous hero in World
War I, and then he was in WWII. On one of his flying missions across
the Pacific, he and his seven-member crew went down. Miraculously, all
of the men survived, crawled out of their plane, and climbed into a life raft.
 
  Captain Rickenbacker and his crew floated for days on the rough
waters of the Pacific. They fought the sun. They fought sharks. Most
of all, they fought hunger and thirst. By the eighth day their rations
ran out. No food. No water. They were hundreds of miles from land and
no one knew where they were or even if they were alive. Every day
across America millions wondered and prayed that Eddie Rickenbacker
might somehow be found alive.
 
  The men adrift needed a miracle. That afternoon they had a simple
devotional service and prayed for a miracle. They tried to nap. Eddie
leaned back and pulled his military cap over his nose. Time dragged on.
All he could hear was the slap of the waves against the raft...
 
  Suddenly, Eddie felt something land on the top of his cap.
  It was a seagull!
 
  Old Ed would later describe how he sat perfectly still, planning
his next move. With a flash of his hand and a squawk from the gull, he
managed to grab it and wring its neck. He tore the feathers off, and
he and his starving crew made a meal of it - a very slight meal for
eight men. Then they used the intestines for bait. With it, they
caught fish, which gave them food and more bait . . . and the cycle
continued. With that simple survival technique, they were able to
endure the rigors of the sea until they were found and rescued after 24 days at sea.
 
  Eddie Rickenbacker lived many years beyond that ordeal, but he
never forgot the sacrifice of that first life-saving seagull... And he
never stopped saying, 'Thank you.' That's why almost every Friday
night he would walk to the end of the pier with a bucket full of
shrimp and a heart full of gratitude.
 
  Reference:  (Max Lucado, "In The Eye of the Storm", pp..221, 225-226)
 
  PS: Eddie Rickenbacker was the President of Eastern Airlines. Before
WWI he was race car driver. In WWI he was a pilot and became America
's first ace. In WWII he was an instructor and military adviser, and
he flew missions with the combat pilots. Eddie Rickenbacker is a true
American hero. And now you know another story about the trials and
sacrifices that brave men have endured for your freedom.

:) I wished and longed for gingerale, but alas, didn't have it, and didn't have a way to get it. Didn't have tea either, which meant I had to force myself to drink nasty water (for some reason this tap water is really gross. I didn't mind it at my original home, but here its like swallowing medicine). Today I was much much much better! I drank a hotchcolate and went to the art museum :)

Do you have blocked ears, because of colds or allergies a lot?

Took me years to be able to listen to music with headphones. Keeping my fingers between my head and the headset, leaving a bit of room between ear and headset, helped a bit.

I had a pair I could still hear my breathing and even my heart faintly.  When overstimulated I like all my senses basically off for awhile, I wear hearing protection ear muffs used when shooting, pillows over my head for light and a weighted blanket over me
I can understand that. But when I'm that overstimulated, I don't want to hear anything. Not even my own breathing. :P

Love weighted blankets though!

^ I can never borrow another person's earphones. Ear sweat ugh!

Of course not. Buy your own (spend more than you think is possible for high quality) and never share.

When I was working in music, I always had to supply headphones, so I had twelve pair that I kept in a large case for just such expensive things, along with microphones (how about sharing one of those with a stranger?   :puke:)

MY SET of headphones, I kept in my own locked case or when working, hanging around my neck.

Sharing headphones is unsanitary. Sharing earbuds is unthinkable!

What brand were they?

Some of the "active"  noise canceling headphones are truly amazing in how they can suspend the listener in a "soundproof environment."

I generally do not care much for Bose products, but their noise canceling 'phones are not bad at all.  We also have Sennheiser, B&W,  and Sony that do well, but you are going to be in the "over two hundred dollar"  range for the better ones.

Forget headphones. I can barely stand to borrow someone's phone. I tend to wait for them to look away then wipe the phone off on my pants.....ear-face oil and sweat...ugh...

Sometimes I don't want to insult them so i just hold the phone a centimeter away from my ear and at and angle so it appears i am holding it closer...or maybe just allowing one end to lightly touch my earlobe.... then I wipe off my ear afterwards...

The ones I tried were Bose headphones. The noise cancelling worked really well, I have to say, but I won't be buying them. I don't have any faith in Bose.

I'm going to buy a new pair of headphones, though. I'll go with AKGs.

I never borrow other peoples' phones, period.  IF it is important then I tell them to call me direct.

No way, I am putting someone else's manky-assed phone in my hand, let alone next to my mouth or my ear!

Good choice. You are onto the higher dollar/krona products. The only problem I have found with AKGs is related to physical comfort. (They just do not fit my extra large size head very well) If you can preview some B&W (the ones with the ultra-soft lamb skin pads) - (I think they are made in the UK)  you might also like those.

My biggest problem with "Dr/Mr/Prof" Bose's products is that his ideas of what we want to hear and what I perceive as flat/neutral sound reproduction are quite at odds. While I accept that all manufacturerers "color" their Signature sound, Bose do not sound right to me. I have twenty dollar Sony's (I buy for the kids to destroy) that sound more neutral and cause less listener fatigue. (They are not as efficient, which is not that bad for kids. Hopefully they will not blow their ears out as fast.   :'( )

Call me a minority, because all that bass noise sells like hell to most people, but most Bose products are not capable of pure, flat, uncolored, natural sounding reproduction.

Which is basically why I want the AKGs. I'm thinking I'll get either a q701 or the newer k712, both of which are basically flat. They say the k712 has addressed most of the k701/2 issues (as has the q701) but doesn't have the bumpy headbands that the q701 users complain about.

My only problem is that the k712 is quite expensive so I'm fretting about the cost. I know that if I get the q701 I'll keep wondering what the k712 would have been like. :GA:

Will look into the B&Ws, tho, if I can find a retailer within reach.

Oh, I know. I've already started thinking about upgrading my headphone amp and getting a new FLAC player. My current one is slowly dying. Its battery is failing and it seems it will be very difficult to replace.

Better sound quality is always worth pursuing.

As it always has been.

Lately, I have begun to re-up my vinyl rig.  My Tube Pre is the first to be "attacked."  I have subbed in so many tubes that my mind just goes foggy.  I have gone to ONE tube change each month, for the past few months.  I either want to identify and define my Psychoacoustical Sweet Tooth or eliminate it altogether (possibly pretending, here) for at least a while.

My vinyl rig sounds "perfect" as it is, but if I change ONE thing, everything changes.

I am on my fourth generation re-doing the crossovers on my movie rig, as well.  I am almost there! (Have I mentioned that I am ALL JBL PRO in my movie rig, of late?  Dicing up the X-Os was the largest part of the job.)


I am probably too old for this. I know I have lost a great deal of hearing from my old R&R days, but I still hear shit other people can not.
 :dunno:

I am convinced that I AM the only person who has to appreciate my own rig. (Notice how I capitalized God's Name there?  LOL  I AM the God of my stereo.)



I hope you enjoy your new headset!!

Not going to tube route, me, not if I can avoid it. I'm just too paranoid and would endlessly replace tubes, thinking that yes, maybe it would change things. Although I have to admit that it is very tempting to add warmth using a tube amp since the AKGs are likely more or less completely neutral, see where it would take me.

Crossovers in movie rigs can be a nightmare but I have nothing but good experiences with JBLs in cinemas and I assume you wouldn't dream of using their lower-end consumer products. Are you doing a 5.1 or a 7.1 setup?

What's always bothers me with home theatre equipment is that it's extremely difficult to ensure the identical handling of all three screen channels. The centre doesn't get the space it needs (usually the speaker is physically placed below the large-screen TV, unlike L & R that both get any space they need, comparatively speaking) so the speaker will always represent a compromise in physical dimensions and frequently in the driver. My Dali speakers are a good example of this. They are great but I don't have three identical screen channels.

My garage setup used to have five identical screen channels, as it handled the old Academy six-channel mag strip setup (5 screen channels, 1 surround) rather than the more recent 5.1 layout, but now that I'm moving to a newer Dolby processor, I'm going to lose the left and right extras. Oh well.

My 5.4 (see how I did that, there?) system is all vintage (mid) eighties hardware (except for one rather large mid/low-bass box - dual eighteens - 2242 JBL) (My LFE is bi-amped). (It is complicated)

I am now using a pair of single 2205/2426/2370/2405 custom enclosures (which I built last summer) for Front L+R - Dual E110/2370/2426/ 2405 For Center - Single E110/2405 for surrounds.  So, in theory, they are all voiced to match each other, including the bi-amped sub-bass LFE channel.

(The front lows started out as E140s - a bit middy -, as if I was building a Cabaret style enclosure, then E145 - enhancing the bass-, then "custom" 2235 built on blown E140 baskets-it works per JBL interchangeability chart, finally Stock, ancient, AlNiCo 2205 drivers for the lows up front - best match, yet!)
I have been doing graphs for four months, trying to get the crossover just right. It was OK, at the start, but there is a reason that JBL studio crossovers are so incredibly complex.

Generally, JBL Studio monitors are designed to be used "between near field and far field" for realistic, highly dynamic representation of recorded media in a number of environments, using various room treatments to achieve fewer room nodes or reverberant anomalies within the listening space
(I know I do not have to mention this for your benefit, but for anyone els reading, sound re-enforcement must fill three dimensions- NOT just two).

Mine are not really an attempt to emulate studio monitors. Rather, I am attempting to emulate the cinema sound from my favorite era of movies. Works amazingly well.  Interestingly, it blows the modern movie soundtracks up like you HAVE to hear to believe!!

So far, my latest attempt at multi-channel surround in a small living space (sixteen by twenty four by eight to twelve -Cathedral ceilings) fits my needs.


edit: Sorry, I just realized, I put my room dimensions in feet, instead of meters. But, it is a fairly small room for so much sound. You know what that means.



Oh, did I mention, in case I want to "Rock teh House,"  with music; I can, without worrying if the speakers will give up before the listener does in a game of "auditory Chicken."
 :LOL:

OH, incidentally, I do not use tubes in my cinema rig. It is all SS.

You wouldn't want to use tubes in a cinema setup, though, if you want to emulate a movie theatre sound. I imagine the Dolby curve is pretty hard to do without solid state. :-\

Mine are not really an attempt to emulate studio monitors. Rather, I am attempting to emulate the cinema sound from my favorite era of movies. Works amazingly well.  Interestingly, it blows the modern movie soundtracks up like you HAVE to hear to believe!!

So far, my latest attempt at multi-channel surround in a small living space (sixteen by twenty four by eight to twelve -Cathedral ceilings) fits my needs.


edit: Sorry, I just realized, I put my room dimensions in feet, instead of meters. But, it is a fairly small room for so much sound. You know what that means.



Oh, did I mention, in case I want to "Rock teh House,"  with music; I can, without worrying if the speakers will give up before the listener does in a game of "auditory Chicken."
 :LOL:

OH, incidentally, I do not use tubes in my cinema rig. It is all SS.

You wouldn't want to use tubes in a cinema setup, though, if you want to emulate a movie theatre sound. I imagine the Dolby curve is pretty hard to do without solid state. :-\

Not getting a clear idea of your sub setup here. You wouldn't happen to have pics, would you?

I'd love a demo, in any case. How big is the room?

I can tell you that you will never hear my sub system, the way I have it set up now. You can only feel it.  I used an old desk (for a short time I pulled out the couch and set that monster behind the couch - THAT was awesome!!   but, we really needed the two feet of floor area) which is a part of the living space environment as cover for the twelve cubic foot cabinet housing dual eighteens (JBL 2242 - only have six hundred watts on the two. It runs from a hard cut-off at sixteen Hz up to twenty eight Hz, where the crossover defers to a single fifteen in a corner (two hundred watts) and a dual ten in another location near a corner (four hundred watts on that one) and another High excursion ten in a sealed enclosure half-way down the wall opposite the dual eighteens, playing the same subrange as the dual eighteens, hidden by a table (two hundred watts on that one). My LFE channel defers to the full range tops, which are set above sixty Hz. The Subs are hard crossed from sixteen to eighty Hz, using four different enclosures, in four different locations, exciting as many room nodes as possible, since using large scale bass control is out of the question. Think of it as another way of skinning the cat, so to speak. Excite every node possible, turn it down a bit and the approach is almost flat, still. Control the units with the power settings and the crossover points.
I used to run a third octave EQ before the LFE crossover, but with careful room placement of the various enclosures, I have eliminated the EQ as unnecessary.

I mentioned my room size, but I put it in feet. Estimating here, just under 5 meters by just over seven meters floor size, with a Cathedral ceiling rising to almost four meters in the center. So, yeah, fairly small listening space.

The only place I use tubes/valves is in my bedroom two channel set up. Open Box dual fifteens, single eight and dual ribbon tweets. I keep them against the wall, unless I am planning a listening session.

I have a much more simple 7.2 set up for a bedroom movie rig. (All are mounted at the ceiling) It is very simple, using Klipsch Quintets (ordered two extras) for fronts, center and surrounds, two small JBLs consumer grade/home use eight inch subs (identical) for LFE, one in a corner near the headboard and one behind the audio cabinet under the center channel.

I have a fairly modern Sony AV receiver to power the bedroom system.

As you can see, my wife has a very high tolerance for my hobbies and a great sense of humor.

I'm currently cooking up a shitload of boiled potatoes, to make a batch of potato-dextrose agar.

Got a load of ergot sclerotia in the fridge, getting geared up to culture them, just building a sterile glove box to keep  the plates clean.

Time I think, for a shitload of donkey work, culturing plates and testing for ergoline alkaloid levels, exposing the wild-type strain to mutagenic chemicals and analyzing plate after plate post-mutagenesis until I come up with a viable production strain to take to the stage of culture immobilized in micronized alginate microspheres and culture in either bubble column or stirred tank bioreactors.

I want eventually to write a book on ergot culture, selection, the chemistry of all things lysergic, techniques for optimizing alkaloid yield; aimed at the amateur/hobbyist.

Something like 'all the way from wild sclerotia to acid' :D

When I had the problems with my arm, the elbow was a primary site where infection took hold, needing my waging a prolonged campaign of heavy duty antibiotics to extirpate the remnants of the pathogen.

Result was scar tissue and possibly some contraction of the tendon. I could not fully extend my arm until quite recently.

I reccomend keeping your elbows, they are useful :P

And good in case of a mugging. A lot of force concentrated into a very small area.

I used to water mushroom trays after the mushrooms were picked, chlorine used to be set up at 200ppm (parts per million). Doesn't sound like much but I used to have to wear a heavy duty mask and raincoat. My hands probably ended up sterile every time though.

Smelling too much bleach can give you symptoms like you have the worst hay fever. I used to get that if I tried watering at work without a mask. Not worth it.

Ergghh.

I HATE the smell 0f NaOCl/HOCl. Oddly I don't so much mind the smell of chlorine gas itself. By the time it gets to a sufficient concentration to smell nasty, its more than enough to drive one out of the area due to its irritant effects, at least without a mask on.

The stench that comes off the 4-gallon drum of industrial-concentration hypochlorite solution when I have to pour some out into a container is something truly heinous. Makes my insides lurch every time.

(I use it for generating Cl2 gas, by mixing it with fuming conc. HCl, which works really well; the combination spews off chlorine fit to gas a WWII trench)

I suppose that you can also see that I am never satisfied and I am still exploring, even at my age.

In my back yard I have a four hundred pound twenty eight cubic foot enclosure that should do a fine job of activating the back yard with awesome sound. (I think I mentioned it is a five way).  Dual eighteens, dual fifteens, dual twelves, single four inch horn and dual super tweet bullets. It is tri-amped - the twelves and horns are on one signal above twelve hundred Hz (crossed passively, three hundred watts per side).  The lowers are all crossed electronically, using dual DbX . Two thousand watts on the eighteens and an additional two thousand watts on the the fifteens and one thousand watts on the twelves plus the three hundred watts on the uppers.

Only thing I regret at this point is that I did not build into the system a motor with which to move the enclosures around to get the best sound.

 :autism:

Unfortunately, now I am out of unused Crowns for power.

I've done some mushroom growing myself actually. Although I always used a combination of isopropanol and peroxide rather than hypochlorite to sterilize the containers and tools.

Done some Agaricus spp., Psilocybe cubensis, and P.cyanescens; one of the woodlovers.
Just building a portable (ish...somewhat, sort-of at any rate) sterile hood at the moment, need to do the airlocks and glove ports, then I'll be ready to experiment with culturing ergot (Claviceps purpurea, a parasite of rye, and other cereal grains and grasses)

Going to be doing the culture on agar plates in there, and mutagen work to obtain a good productive strain before transfer to bubble-column or stirred tank bioreactors for actual alkaloid production and harvest. been reading up and doing my research into all the various finer details that are needed to ensure good yields.

Should be a lot of fun (not to mention profitable), even if its probably the most ambitious mycology project I've ever attempted.

Not like that. I have overloaded to the point where my brain shuts off (hard to describe it better)...very confused, upset, unable to vocalize it.

Thankfully I've learned not to let it progress to that point, and will bail anyway I have to if the situation becomes absolutely too much. Now the worst that happens is that it just sucks the life out of me for awhile.

  Not the same thing as others have described, but a barrage of spoken instructions or demands
   makes me tense and angry, it is too much.  I also used to get angry around closing time at the burger place
   where I washed dishes, because other workers would keep coming in putting things down for me to wash,
   and every clang or bang or even soft sound of something being placed in my space cumulatively angered
   me.  The individual sounds were not terribly loud, but I HAD TO register each one MENTALLY and THAT made
   me angry.  I call it "too much incoming."  This is why I don't think I could drive safely in heavy traffic.
   The mental stress of having to register each bit of visual information, not to mention the pressure of reacting
   quickly and correctly to all of it, would probably make me increasingly angry, spazzy and panic-prone.   :GA:

I have an excellent sense of hearing but poor filtering capabilities. Little tiny noises can freak me out. My wife still has difficulty accepting that I will hear, and be bothered about, some noises when she won't even notice them.

  My father has had some degree of hearing loss for decades, yet he would always
  hear some tiny engine noise in the car that no one else could hear.  As for me, I often miss key words due to
  hearing consonant sounds wrong, but if someone breaks a dish in another room at work, I can tell, from the
  sound it made when breaking, whether it was glass or china.  :nerd!:


I can hear if a 35mm projector is threaded and running properly. Some of my past apprentices in the booth found this a bit scary as I would tell them what they'd done wrong without being anywhere near the projector.

And once they'd passed their tests and worked as temps in the booth, I could phone them and tell them which projector was running. ;D

Among my other booth-related superpowers, I used to be able to take a single look at the film remaining on a reel and tell how many minutes and seconds that were left.

This superpower no longer works, as the prints vary more in quality and thickness.

MAybe you have just not had them fresh enough.

I grew up with three avocado trees in my back yard, I ate them at many "levels" of ripeness. They even taste good left on the tree until the seeds sprout inside the fruit, just before the fruit falls from the tree.
 I generally ate them raw, just pealed and maybe salted a bit.

They are really wonderful fruit. They do not cook well, unless you have a certain degree of prowess with fast cooking on an open fire.

Ah, I was wondering how close to a vegetable a fruit would have to be to put you off.

Have you looked into the various fruits found in the Amazon? It is unlikely you could access any of them, but they have hundreds of varieties, and apparently many are so highly nutritious that people living in the Amazon (in peru at least) didn't need to hunt anything...or else they hunted a guinea pig or two very seldomly.

Its more a texture and taste thing, than an arbitrary classification. I love most fruit, for instance, but tomatoes turn my insides to outsides,  there is an exotic fruit I once tried, horned melon, tastes exactly like tomato; right down to the smell of it, and I just cannot bear the things. Bought one once, not knowing a damn thing about it, figured I'd try something new, but once I actually came to eating it, my gorge rose and I had to hold on and try not to chuck my lunch as to my disgust it was more or less one great big buggering tomato with a stinker of a price tag on it.

Not sure I know what your experience with anything called "horned melon"  might be like, but I have enjoyed all Western Hemisphere melons.

Some had spiky things on the outsides but they were just melons on the inside.

Do you know a genus?  I generally try to acccept most peoples' idea of what plants are supposed to be, but melons with magical properties? I need to know more.

OH and BTW, there are more than ten thousand kinds of the "poisonous fruit"  called commonly tomato. Most are truly harmless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horned_melon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horned_melon)

Its a gourd, related to cucumbers and more distantly to the true melons.

Don't bother with it. Identical to tomato and just as disgusting, with a mass of green, pulpy, liquid-surrounded seeds within. Absolutely foul, and exorbitantly expensive.


Tried something new just recently, anona fruit, or 'custard apple'. Now that was nice. I saved the seeds in fact, just to see if they can be grown indoors in the UK, along with a load of tamarind seeds I saved from the fruit I bought at the same time.

I shall have to try that. Although as far as the beer accompaniment goes, peroni is my favoured beer. The tamarind 'recipe' you describe sounds like it would be nice with a cold beer and a nice big shot or two of cptn. Morgans dark rum.

Cool. Make sure you peel the shell off of the tamarind and then boil it in a little water so the pulp gets nice and chewy/soft. Then drain and add the pepper, just a tad salt (or none at all) and squeeze fresh lime over it.

Oh right! I hadn't realize you were having them cooked.

I just got a big box full a while back and just cracked the shells off the pods in a fist, grab the end where the 'ribs' are connected to its wossitmehfucker and peel downwards which gets rid of all four ribs in one.

Then just stuff in gob, and work around the seeds, which get spat out once the pod is consumed,

Well, I wouldn't say they were "cooked". Just simmered a bit and cooled off. Same thing, working around the seeds n all. TBH I am not sure exactly how they were treated before digging in...it is possible they were never boiled, but I recall them be prepared over the stove.

Its more a texture and taste thing, than an arbitrary classification. I love most fruit, for instance, but tomatoes turn my insides to outsides,  there is an exotic fruit I once tried, horned melon, tastes exactly like tomato; right down to the smell of it, and I just cannot bear the things. Bought one once, not knowing a damn thing about it, figured I'd try something new, but once I actually came to eating it, my gorge rose and I had to hold on and try not to chuck my lunch as to my disgust it was more or less one great big buggering tomato with a stinker of a price tag on it.

  I dislike supermarket tomatoes but LOVE a nice fresh garden tomato.  Garden tomatoes are another thing entirely.  8)

  I have a small jaw, which makes long dental procedures difficult because my jaw muscles ache afterward.
   I had a back tooth ground down for a crown last Thursday, and days later the roof of my mouth still aches.  I opted for
   local anesthesia despite the fact that the tooth was already root-canaled, i.e. "dead," and didn't realize the extent of the
   muscle strain until afterward.  Sometimes I wish I had a big jaw.   :gator:

Personal trivia, both my kids can kick my fucking ass in a self defense mode.
I tested my daughter (often over the years, actually)  yesterday and she would not allow me to even touch her.

After being so impressed with my daughter, I told my son that his time was coming!  He just basically told me fuck off and he did not want to play "gotcha"  anymore.

I said that was fine, but in two minutes, I am going to attack you! Well, I did - he still had his tablet in his hand and he threw it to the side and did a fake kick to my chin in less than an instant, then took a stance that I could not break.
I tried for three minutes or more to slap him and there was no way.
Boy is learning like his sister is, but maybe not as much.

Still, I feel that either one of my kids can defend themselves against some asshole bully who might try to annoy either one. I am SO proud of them.
IF they can both take me they can truly help themselves in this horrible world.

I am so proud of both of them!!

I'm kinda addicted to this simple game: http://www.funny-games.co.uk/game/star_defender.html (http://www.funny-games.co.uk/game/star_defender.html)

Play it at least once a day (still).

Funny thing is that I played this game on a arcade machine in a local Chinese take-away restaurant (in Hoevelaken) when I was 10 years old, I suppose. No kidd ya. We, some childhood friend and me, didn't go to the take-away restaurant's waiting room to order any food but went there just to play that game. A lot of my kiddo pocket-money went into that machine.

Lost track of the game for decades to coincidently bump into it a few years ago.

Guess you could say that 'Star Defender' is part of my fibre.. in a way.

That said, I'm crazy enough for her enough that I'd throw myself into the path of an oncoming stabbing if it were aimed at her or her kids, without even thinking about it, other  than 'whats the most practical way to do this, and ensure that I preferably live, and if I do not survive; then at least manage to keep going long enough to exterminate any assailants; with a girl I ADORE enough to willingly give my life for if she everneeded it, or even if it accomplished no more than to bring her happiness (not that my death would, she cares about me. I WOULD die for her, or the family members she has that she cares about, her 3 kids, now grown, I make every effort not to do so, but rather, to LIVE to glorify her existence upon this planet) then I don't think cold weather really comes very high up on the list of issues

When I was a postie, with temperatures over 30ºC I would wet my head every time I parked my bicycle, and I'd drink some water then too. That way doing the job was very doable. And an occasional glass of water or popsicle offered always helped too.

I tried stamps but it was a lot one complicated than coins and not as interesting.  That said I have my fathers collection from the 30s-40s which I was told had some good ones including one that was supposedly worth about $200 back then but I have no idea which one it is or if it's still in there :dunno:  :tard:

Neighbor gave me a huge brass headboard.

Problem is it's a full, and I have a queen, thought I could rig something up.

Then found out they make adapter brackets now for this very "problem" for around $17.

Last night I woke up at 1 in the morning with an uncontrollable craving for chili.

So I fixed myself a bowl of chili at 1 in the morning and ate it.

That was pretty fucking weird, I've never had this happen before.

I have this as my main social contact.

I have my partner, who doesn't mind that I put her second.

My mother is not a social contact. Too toxic, according to my father.
My father is hurt that I didn't choose him over my mother - but according to my mother he is not in contact because he's hurt that I don't call him.

I'm just rabidly autistic, afraid to take my hoarded (read adhd enhanced) supply of revlimid for fear of interaction with the shitload of pneumonia and we're worried you might also have the flu meds.

And I still can't get out of bed. My goal had been 60 but now I want to make it until december. the pneumonia was pretty deadly. one day unpacking, the next day a little cough, the next day giddy and the next I could not get up.
and of course with no adhd meds for a week this probably is my third time posting this. I think this is my second day out of the ER. No wait. Then it would be tuesday because they kept me saturday and sunday.

wow its like being high. i cleared a bunch of boxes out of my room but i got tired after four getting up, move box, rest cycles

I don't like the smell of rubber. I was thinking this last Sunday as I was doing a 12km walk. At the water stations there were volunteers handing out cups of water and they were wearing rubber gloves. I commented to the person I was walking with that I could smell the gloves. She was like, "Huh?" and I said never mind.

I can't stand the smell of rubber bands either. Kayleigh chews on them!

Window weights are cast iron and you cant work it on a forge but I have a lot of other metal for that.  One of my brothers used to do the blacksmithing demo on farm day at a local museum and I would go as his assistant.  I play around with blacksmithing and have made some small things like fireplace tools and decorative stuff like hooks and hangers,  i would like to do more but other things end up getting in the way.

The scent of rubber is very strong, especially when it is warm. Been a long time, that I smelled rubber gloves. The thin ones are almost all vinyl gloves now here. Too many allergy reactions on rubber apparently. My dentist has an allergy to them too.

I was born two weeks late, because my mother had dangerous high blood pressure. Had I been born years later, they would have gotten me out two months early. But back then protocol was different. Keep the baby in as long as possible, so that it still can grow a bit, despite the maternal problems.

When I finally announced myself I came with such speed that my whole head was deformed. Bad enough that my Dad exclaimed that they could throw that (me) in the bin. The doctor said it would all be right with my head over time. But, as my Mom said, the GP would check every time in the pram when he saw my mother walking with me. As if he wasn't sure about what he had said about everything being alright over time.

I did get a normal baby head. And my Dad felt ashamed about his exclamation about throwing that in the bin. But it never bothered me that he had said that. To me it was just a funny part of the story of me coming into this world.

They probably got told that it was not good for the mother to hear distressing news. No news was considered to be better for a long time, ignorance is bliss or something like that. An aunt of mine had a stillborn daughter, due to complications during delivery in hospital. She was not allowed to see it. She was not allowed to give her a name, we were not supposed to talk to my aunt about it. Medical policy. My uncle had to fight to be allowed to at least bury the child. Did my aunt no good at all.

 :laugh:  they are rarely home when they have work done I never met any of them.  A friend who worked at Mariah Carey's house for over a month met her one of the times she came by with the architect to check on how the house was coming along.

  I had only two wisdom teeth, uppers, not impacted.  That's a bit unusual.  :tard:

Really? I had exactly the same! They were removed when I had my jaw operation so I didn't feel a thing.

  Cool!  Mine also were removed under general anesthesia, which caused me to throw up upon waking!  :laugh:

Ah, what I have always done since I was a kid and threw up from anaesthesia was tell the doctors before an operation to give me something for nausea as anaesthesia makes me sick. They give me some sort of anti-emetic (sp) and I wake up feeling fine!

  That's good to know!  If I ever need general anesthesia again, I will remember that.  :)

I had three. There was room enough for five more, but there were only three.
I have spacious jaws.

Funny, the wisdom tooth that gave me problems "hatching" was the nonexistent one. Swollen jaw, pain, missery, again and again, rupturing gums where it should pop up. After a few times the dentist decided to take some pictures to find out why it was pestering me so much. Then it became clear that it was non-existent. There only was a rudimentary dot to be seen.

All my wisdom teeth are gone now. After they had become too weak to survive another drilling and filling.

I too have a small jaw. I have wondered how the surgeon managed to operate on me when my mouth is so small as well. He did a really good job. I can see where the stitches were on my lower jaw inside my mouth. Can also feel on the outside where my jaw was split.

  What really helps me when I have a long appointment is the use of a "bite block," a plastic block
  wedged between the teeth on the side opposite from where the work is being done.  It spares me the
  jaw aches from straining my muscles to keep my mouth open.  They use a child-sized one on me.  :autism:

I have, according to my back X-rays from a few years ago, "scoliosis and mild spurring."  :nerd!:
I was reading this thread and this post by CBC reminded me that I have degeneration of the facet joints in my lower spine. My doctor has added it to the list of all the stuff that's wrong with me. :zoinks:

I've been volunteering at the Salvos for five years now. If I was still in the old store, I would have quit by now as that place was chaotic and overflowing with stuff.  It was so bad that we had to tell people with donations to go elsewhere at times.

New store - much larger and much better. I can usually hang, tag and count two racks of clothing in each shift there.
