Are you just noting, TTH ... or chastising ... that one person has not answered another's questions?

I always have nails handy .... sometimes when I am watching TV I eat a half- bowl of nails .... they have plenty of iron, and I like the way sparks come off of my teeth in the darkened room. Sometimes I break rocks with my fingers and sprinkle the sand on the nails, like putting cheese on a Pizza. Ever wonder why there are no Dinosaurs anywhere on Earth? ... that was me..

When my dog Cubby died several years ago, I put her obituary here on the Archive, but when they switched formats or providers (?) her picture was lost. She died of eye cancer spread to her intestines. She was a wonderful dog, and I taught her to play the card game "Poker". She was very loving and affectionate, but not very smart ... when playing Poker, every time she got good cards, she would wag her tail. -
Before I left my mother's home, growing up in Virginia, I had heard about the Indian Fakirs sleeping on a bed of sharp nails, and as I wanted to be a tough guy, I made one for me with a 4'x8" sheet of plywood, and about two thousand nails. There were problems during the "adjustment period", however, as the anxiety made me wet the bed, and the nails were getting rusty, it was SO hard to get fitted sheets, and the screaming kept my mother awake at night.

'Peace and Security'
James Thomas Rook Jr. replied to The Librarian's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
Space Merchants have a particular liability from "Galactic Transport Relief Agents", an up and coming field predominately dominated by males, who use REALLY COOL lasers to lighten loads from Interstellar Cargo ships. You may know them as "Pirates", but that is soOooo judgemental. ... may have to throw you out the Airlock ....- 58 replies

trombonek: I have seen that kind of wound ... usually just the back of the head "disappears" from the combustion gasses following the FMJ bullet, and the eardrums rupture outwards. If you are not a Snowflake, it's an important movie to see .... The Drill Sgt's mistake was coming to a gun fight with nothing but arrogance. ..one of HUNDREDS of lessons that can be learned from this movie.

I have NO IDEA what this actually means, and of course, because EVERYTHING is a "Military Secret" the Watchtower WOULD tell us ... but then they would have to kill us all! I used to work as a Contractor for the Department of Energy, USA, and that was a favorite joke. I would be working at my desk, and feel somebody behind me, and turn around to see a soldier in full battle dress, with an attack dog by his side, which was always a surprise, as he had been watching me for some time, silently ... my startled comment was "Can I pet your dog?" He replied "I wouldn't do that, sir." It is in this environment that driving from one building to another, there was a billboard on the side of the road "FEED A SHREDDER ... STARVE A SPY", AND we used to OCCASIONALLY say to each other , humor intended, to anybody that wanted more than a half-sentence explanation about something .... "I would tell you... but then I would have to kill you !" We would grin .. and looking around, laugh a nervous laugh. With that in mind, my first sentence was merely a joke ..... well ... uh .... "some" of it.

Same with World War Two ... but I am not exonerating either aggressors or defenders when they "will do what they have to do". BOTH SIDES in OUR court cases are supposed to be seeking JUSTICE. If WE are "allowed" to subvert Justice ... we CANNOT GRIPE because they do, too. If WE are "allowed" to subvert Justice to win .... we did not really win. Not really. We saved money but became moral losers. Saving a hundred million dollars is not "winning", if we had to subvert Justice to save the money. I suspect there was more accountability when dueling was legal.

I love that expression "Seize the Day!" My wife and I used it as a morning goodbye when I used to drop her off at work every morning ( she retired last week...). We used the Latin Version "Carpe Diem". When I was an engineering contractor, my motto was "Carpe Per Diem" Everything comes to he who waits ... and hustles while he waits.

When did the Apostle Paul find time to be a tent maker, I mean ... him being an Apostle and all, and also a full time minister who was severely nearsighted, yet penned about a third or so of the New Testament ... and had hip problems?

I was kidding about the SPF 5 Million sun tan lotion .... only. It was a joke about the loving, kind retribution I expect to get locally. As a matter of dealing with the WTB&TS and the GB ... and secular authorities over many, many years, I suspect the Russian Embassy will not cash the check but will send me an English Transcript of the Supreme Court decisions. It will probably take about two months. I suspect the Society will NOT send a transcript in ANY language, but will cash the check. From the Society, I suspect I will get a form letter thanking me for my contribution, and not mention me asking for the transcripts, in about three months, but the check will clear in about three weeks. All of this is based on historical experiences ... What will really happen I don't know ... of course.

Another Joke I made up, because I tried to learn Klingon, and was equally bad at it, was: "Yeah, I like to speak Klingon ... because I get to yell and spit at the same time!' -

Queen Ester: I was referring to the German language ... ( it was a joke..). I took about two months of German in High school, and had no talent whatsoever for learning a foreign language ... my Mother was one of identical twins and was almost telepathic, and I did not learn to talk until I started 1st grade in school. There is an often used joke line in the USA when someone speaks or types in a foreign language, that when they do not understand ANY of it ... to make an astonished face, roll your eyes and say "Easy for YOU to say!", which in your case ... IS easy for you to say .... you speaking the German Language. Another joke goes like .... ME: "Well .. it's a good thing I was not born in Germany!" SOMEBODY ELSE: " Oh! ... and WHY is it a good thing you were not born in Germany?" ME: " Because I CAN'T SPEAK GERMAN!" bADDA-BING ! Both jokes are better after Pizza and a pitcher of beer! . -
For complete and unrestricted freedom of speech, I will bend myself into a pretzel! I LIKE a "free association", "who knows where the conversation will lead" semantics and subject brawl. It's called "Thinking Out Of The Box" .... and I am all for it. THAT way ... when you discover "New Light" ... next year you just add to it, because it was correct to start with! "Old Light" is just darkness, mis-labeled. .
