Do you have an available job? I have a master's degree in Analytical Chemistry. No one here around New Orleans is impressed, but I can do a mean chemical analysis. Really I can.

Hey!
One of the oldest rituals I participate in is the annual Texas dove season opener. Dove season opened September 1 and our gang was out amongst ‘em. As was your field reporter "Old Randall Sure Shot." To get something out of the way really quick...it's not the killing of doves, but the fellowship of being with long time friends that I cherish. Oh, I killed a few, four, not even close to the bag limit which is 10 per day. Just getting outside with the "boys" is enough for me. And of course the food.
Standing at the edge of a 200-acre sunflower patch I applied a writers logic to what I was doing. The gift of life is the most sacred of all. A rough count of expended shotgun shells on the ground, versus the few doves that fell to my prowess with a shotgun (that refused to shoot straight) revealed a startling truth. I was giving more life than I was taking. Indeed it seemed more than a few fleeing dovies glanced over their shoulder after the barrage, and with a decidedly look of malice ... snickered evilly ... extended one small leg ... and gave ME the bird.
Riding a 20 to 30-mile an hour north wind, the doves came across our position with velocity and flight characteristics aerodynamically analogous to an F-16 Flying Falcon on a low-level bomb run over downtown Baghdad. Even an average Texas dove excels in mind numbing high speed pivots, increase and descent in altitude that would have a Top Gun jet jockey gasp in admiration. How any bird can come in at tree top level at speeds just below the speed of sound, stand on one wing and drop 10 feet in altitude in the space of .000009 seconds is beyond my comprehension!
Just after sunrise I managed to track one bird over the barrel of my trusty, but obviously defective shotgun, only to see it disappear. Coming in high and fast the wily feathered adventurer dropped 20 feet in less than a second. I could only stare dumfounded as the dove settled a few feet off the ground and disappeared into a mesquite thicket...birdie afterburner on combat setting and wing to the wing with fellow comrades of the feather.
However, sadly, the local wing and tail club are missing a few comrades. Turn their drinking glasses over. Yes, numerous birds gave their life, but their sacrifice was not in vain. Our crew stuffed themselves with the luckless few who zigged when they should have zagged, gained in altitude when they should have headed for the hard deck. Probably rookies. They always seem to bite the bullet first rattle out of the box ... no pun intended. My hat is off to the doves who fell...valiant is thy name...tasty is thy flesh...
Soooooo, our host's recipe for bar-b-que dove is this...remove the breast...slice the meat off the breast. This leaves two pieces of meat. Then...wrap the meat around a slice of hot pepper...wrap the meat and pepper with a slice of bacon...hold all of this together with a toothpick...and place on a wood fired pit. Cook until one degree from incineration, remove, and eat. Wash the whole mess down with a cold refresher. Ahem... soft drinks ARE frowned upon but permissible...
Side dishes are popular as well. Take a fresh Jalapeno pepper and remove the seeds. Stuff cream cheese inside, then wrap the pepper with bacon. Pin everything together with the ubiquitous toothpick and cook on the grill till one degree from incineration. Chicken was also on the menu for lunch. Take one chicken and pluck it. (Long pause...) Uh, buy a chicken from the store, (or use one of your neighbors) remove anything inside...enlarge the southern end...sit the chicken on an opened beer, ah, full beer. Place chicken on the grill in a sitting position, (extra kudos if you can cross it's legs) ignore gales of laughter from the less informed, cook on the grill until one degree from incineration and serve. As a backup a 20-pound beef brisket that has been cooking all night is also on the pit, just in case.
All in all a good time was had by everyone. Although the peppers I consumed are exacting a terrific toll on my stomach, intestines and parts farther south. This is a matter of great humor to my spouse, "Giggles" who stayed at home. But then ... what does she about hunting doves and eating peppers under the Texas sky?
Come on ice creme!!!!

I think it was in 'The Paris Option' and I think Robert Ludlum wrote it. The main theme of the story was the development of a super computer (On the molecular scale) that could break any dynamic encryption across the world. The first two strikes of the computer were somewhere in the USA and then London.
Sound familiar? The cyber terrorists targeted the power systems first as a warning to the respective governments. Blackouts in America and then London!
(You did hear about the big one in London last week didn't you?) I was imagining the secret service working behind the scenes while the world knew nothing except the fact of the blackouts. The main event was much more deadly!
But don't worry, it's just fiction..............
isn't it?

ANDREW -- Workbook has not been abandoned. Just a bit slow of late. Most of the recent activity has been in shorties. It happens that way.
ALL -- Speaking of Shorties, we have been making a new forum for every topic. You'll notice a "Memories of Mom" forum, a "Disappointment" forum, an "Infatuation" forum, and the original "Shorty Thursday."
No shorties in Infatuation? I'm sure I've been infatuated in my shorties, but that's the whole story.
All the regulars here probably received an email that said "Congratulations, you've been added to Shorties ..." Making a usergroup was for my sake. Each new shorty forum requires that someone grant permission to each individual who will be allowed to read the forum. Uh, four fora and 22 people, that's 88 times to go through the process. Or, TADA, put all the individuals into a usergroup and simply allow the group entry. Now it's only one step to open a new forum for 'just family' and one step to add a new family member to the inside stuff.
Now -- Do you like the Individual Forum setup? or prefer the "Shorty Thursday" where everything lumps together?
AND - don't touch that dial - Should the Work In Progress section be broken into Prose and Poetry fora?
Personally, I'd vote for individual shorties because there's enough activity there that the page would get massive. WIP is a toss-up for me. There has been little poetry posted, and the activity level is low enough that page length is not an obvious concern.

It is so reassuring to come back and find that all have been carrying on, inspired or not... and that not all messes are permanent.
Rhoda, congratulations! I know just what you mean about one more day that the ms hasn't been returned unwanted is a victory! Phantasium - still no word yet, but I see it as a good thing.
Of course, now that the first ms copy is out, I've been pouring over my printed copy and finding... oh yes! finding things I should have revised! Of course there are some things... LOL (Or I'd be a professional editor by now)
Mel's advice is sound - go ahead and give yourself permission to jump into the spy novel now - you have waited and deserve to have the fun and frenzy of a new project!
When you need a break from the new book, pull out the older ms and plump up the beginning. Sometimes it takes a while to see that your own characters are a bit flat - good for you that you can see it now, and that is all the weaponry you need to change them into full-bodied folks!
Best of luck with your new group - oh, how I want to do the same here in Guelph! But not yet - if I jump into organizing a writer's group too soon I'll be sacking myself with more work than I can handle at the moment. It would help inspire me to get back to 'Symphony'; yet that will happen of its own accord, and the time is nigh anyhow.
Ugh, I'm typing to loud music so my words are not carefully chosen, but the ideas are there. Better loud music to carry my mood than to sink into the one that threatened me earlier!
Good to see everyone here - intact and at peace....
Thank you Jerry, for those wise sayings - I found many of them to have that ring to them.... and now to go back and memorize a few, so I can let them fly when appropriate. Not to mention that they're good for a chuckle...
Here's one that a good friend said when we took my kids up to the studio rooftop, and they wanted to be a bit too daring: "Better to ride a bicycle than a wheelchair."
I had to laugh at the looks on their faces. Curbed the enthusiasm to lean over the railings too far, that is for certain!
Anyhow, before I impart too much personal confusion, time to be off.....

Happy Labor Day. :-)
In answer to your question, Mel, I just finished with my book, and am waiting to get the cover design, hear the final pub date, etc. It's great to be done, but I've already started on the accompanying "workbook" because part of me doesn't want to stop writing! I'm not so crazy about the next phase - publicity. (I'd rather be sitting in my office in my pjs ;-)
I also started journaling again. I've haven't really written anything exploratory since my dad died, but I think I'm ready now. Also, I realize that I'm still making memories with my mom, and I don't want to forget any of them.
[Pamela, ask me about the reading I had done with medium Patrick Mathews. It was incredible.]
Hope you're all doing well, and enjoying your writing!

"Another interesting thing about the Feast of St. John: the Breviary's hymn for this day, Ut queant laxis, is the source of our names of musical notes -- Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do. The hymn, attributed to Paul the Deacon (ca. A.D. 720-799), was noted by a monk to rise one note in the diatonic C-Scale with each verse. The syllables sung at each rise in pitch give us the names of our notes (the "Ut" was later changed to "Do" for easier pronunciation):
Ut queant laxis
Resonare fibris
Mira gestorum
Famuli tuorum,
Solve polluti
Labii reatum, Sanc
Te Ioannes"
The feast itself is to celebrate the birthday of St. John the Baptist, and occurs on the summer solstice - June 24. It's amazing how much the Bible has influenced literature around the world! I may do my term paper on that subject.
howard 9-1-2003 14:26
It's also GREAT you've found a critique group to discuss writing! :-] I used to come here and find more of that... not sure what's happened here to lose that inspiring writers' talk... oh well, back to lurking and surfing other writing sites until more writerly stuff may turn up here...
ROSEMARY, you out there? I need farm animal visuals to inspire my writing!!!

Hi folks, how are you all, had a great holiday, family and friends, the love of a good woman, summer days, children, ice cream, what more could a man want? Well now you mention it…..no, no all is well.
Thanks Eddie for suggesting the link back to notebook, was gonna suggest it mesel but ya beated me to it.
Time for some more meanderings.
Being educated has very little to do with going to school.
The world is full of unbalanced people, it's no wonder they keep falling over.
Every where we have people going nowhere, getting there fast and not even knowing what to do when they get there.
We're victims of our past much more than we know.
Man doesn't understand others because he doesn't understand himself.
A man doesn’t want to change he wants to keep on complaining about things and go on blaming everyone and everything else but himself, for the misery that surrounds him.
We look for things outside of ourselves when in general we have all we need, we are all we need
We spend our time moaning about headaches while we watch people drowning.
Children have an instinct for life; unfortunately they often have it all but knocked out of them in the process of being ‘educated’ by adults.
Praying is like phoning a shop (Which may not exist) to ask for something that we should endeavour to make ourselves.
Look at man, the first mistake he makes he is not relaxed, he carries his history on his shoulders, and his pains in his pocket.
Politics is just the usual business of people doing things the wrong way, dividing themselves into parties, colours, philosophies, morals etc.
We suffocate and die under routine and comfort, we develop through adversity.
We are controlled by unconscious drives and compulsions, if we deny them we do not necessarily control them, they are transferable, they have energy and powers within mind and body they seek expression.
Justice.
Forever the tree
That stands in anger
Forever the leaf
That refuses to fall
Forever the branch
That toys with danger
Forever the root
That cracks the wall.
INSTINCT.
As the summers night, crosses into daybreak
Early birds make the most beautiful music
Having that instinct
Knowing
That it would be foolish
To wait....for the sun.
Th th th th that’s all folks love Pester.

Don't name a pig you plan to eat.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.
Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.

Your post was just fine. I saw nothing the least bit sarcastic. I was sarcastic in my last post talking about the blackouts, because all these government officials are bending over backwards to tell the public that these incidents are not due to terrorists. Well, they might not, and yet they might. I just get irritated when the governmnet treats the people like a bunch of little children who have to be comforted lest they go out and take revenge on their Arab neighbors or lest they panic. Truth is that no one knows what caused the blackouts, but in this day and age and political climate, sabotage is as worthy theory as anything else.
As for life in general, it is much better since I finished my novel. The agent has had it a month. Everyday that I go out to my mailbox and see that it is not there is a victory. The longer he keeps it, the happier I am. Now I am doing yard work, studying for that test to get my teaching certificate, and trying to think about what I should write next.
I have some writing ideas. I have this old manuscript, VALERIE'S SONG, which I really like. The first three chapters are flat. Looking over it, the minor charaters are a bit paste-board. The book has some problems, but I believe it is a good story. Should I take the time and fix it up and try to market it again?
Or...should I go and write my Regency spy story that has been swimming around in my brain for three years? I think this story has excellent promise and also has better market appeal. Books like VALERIE'S SONG have only about three publishing houses. I have a choice of perhaps six or seven for the Regency Spy story. Any suggestions?
My children are adjusting well to school. Russell, my ADHD child, has responded very well to his medication and so far has turned in all of his school assignments. That is victory indeed.
One last thing is that I found two like-minded writers at my last SOLA meeting who wish to be in a critique group, so we got together and formed one. That is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in a long time. There is nothing better than getting together with fellow writers at a coffee shop and discussing writing.

Ah, the value of testing over the net. Thanks again.

On the assumption that Jack may have been used I tried a different more exotic login and got similar error message. However, the concept of a chat room is one I think is a good idea. So, see if you can make it work and I will link to it from here as well.

Evening...
Ah, Mark...sea stories. Right up my alley...(grin) I was aboard the USS Platte AO 24 from January 1967 to May 1970. The Platte was a fleet oiler in the Pacific, 7th Fleet, that is she carried oil, mail, movies, ammo and transferred them to other navy ships at sea. Once our ship was caught in the tail end of a typhoon in the Taiwan Strait. Basically empty of bulk fuel oil. That is we had transferred our cargo to other ships and were headed for Taiwan to reload. When loaded fleet oilers sit low, mostly 70% of the ship would be underwater. When empty or dry...they ride high and rough.
At that time I was mess decks master at arms...which meant I was boss of the "kitchen" and eating area. We had room for 50 sailors or so and with a crew of 300 eating demanded one eat and move on. No frills. Not Hollywood leisure dining. During the second or third day of rough weather it became apparent that most sailors were occupying one chair to eat and using a second chair for their "Mae West" life jackets. Sailor capacity was suffering as we moved through some very rough weather...high wind and high seas.
The Platte was riding high and with swells of 30 to 40 feet it made for an uncomfortable ride. Imagine a cork in the middle of a typhoon... The bow (GRIN ... front part, Mark) would ride the swell up and slide crashing down. Meanwhile the swell would lift the middle section of the ship up, then down, then the stern up, then down. Adding to the fun the entire ship would shake violently from side to side and loud banging noises come up through the hull. Anything not secured would slide, slither, crash, bang, spill, slop, fall, followed by wild cursing. In general, holy hell in a salt water environment was an ongoing process.
One afternoon on the mess decks, I watched a soft drink machine topple over and slide across the mess deck almost crushing a scrambling sailor valiantly trying to hold onto his meal tray. Only a super human effort on my part saved the white cow and brown cow from following its example. (White and chocolate milk dispenser.) Work topside was secured and the crew confined to quarters, except for chow. The braver ones, those with stout stomachs, stable inner ears, and agile footsies made their way back to the chow hall to eat. The remaining sailors, easily identified by a greenish facial tint, lay in their racks praying to die. In between dashes to the head, or shower stall, or mop bucket.
It was a fact that a sister ship of the Platte broke in half during rough weather. The Platte was commissioned in 1939 and no doubt had a lot of stress related steel just barely keeping the old girl afloat. Or so most on board thought. What was not a fact and yet to be proven was a rumor racing throughout the crew's quarters. Someone had received a letter from home that Jeanne Dixon (The seer who foresaw JFK's assassination) had foreseen that an American ship with the number 24 would be sunk... Presto, quicker than a sea bunny making love ... out came the life jackets. Sailors were having a difficult time eating as it was without competition from a life preserver! I finally posted a notice that yes chow was being served, but Mae West was not welcome.
True story...

Just got back from the NY State Fair. Feet hurt from walking, neck/shoulders HURT from carrying Joel all afternoon, but it was worth it. Probably won't go back again this year...
Random thoughts that occurred this afternoon:
Never eat at a fish-fry whose manager is wearing a Jiffy-Lube hat.
Use the word "horticulture" in a sentence:
"You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think."
I saw a booth (at the fair) with a sign that said "Hot Cinnamon Nuts" and all I could think was "I bet that hurts!"
Drugs --- I need more drugs!

Funny how that slow-motion thing happens. 1975 I was a deckhand on a coal freighter in the Great Lakes. We sailed right through a storm that kept bashing our starboard (that's the right side, RANDALL). I kinda knew that you shouldn't let a storm push your boat sideways, but figured this was a big boat with enough weight to keep it steady. I went through a good part of it in the galley.
As the new guy on board, and a first-time sailor, several of the other guys thought they should enlighten me on the dangers of being in a storm. A few decided to test my faith by deriding the competence of our captain. While that was going on, a few others sat quietly or actually enjoyed the boat's right-to-left rocking motion. I saw and heard every one of them.
"Six hours ago this storm was on Lake Michigan and it capsized a tanker. Poor bastards on Lake Michigan got no place to run when it hits. Damn! Here we got ports all up and down Michigan on one side and Canada on the other. Little spots to duck into and we just keep steaming. Crazy bastard captain don't know enough to sail INTO the wind."
My crew leader poured a couple ounces of milk onto the table in front of him. As the boat rocked slowly to his right, the milk ran downhill. I looked at him. He grinned and said, "It'll come back." he placed a napkin just to the left of the original spill. The boat came slowly upright and rolled left. His milk ran backwards and into the napkin.
The deck watch on my shift picked up the don't-sail-sideways thread. "Good thing we're not in Lake Superior. More ships lost there than in Bermuda. That tanker that went down in Michigan today was in a bad lake. No ports on that lake except all the way at the top and all the way at the bottom. Ontario's plenty deep, too. You go down there, they never gonna find you. Erie ain't so deep. If you're in a bad storm in Lake Erie all you gotta do is get out of the channel and sit on the bottom. Course, Erie's so shallow that a good wind'll lift a hell of a lot of it right off the bottom and slap you with it. We're in a good lake. Huron's got ports for ships our size all up and down both coasts. Don't know why we're sailing sideways to this thing. I don't believe I ever heard good news about this captain."
So it went. Cool heads and jokers. One guy may have been seriously concerned. I never got scared. Today I wonder if I was simply too stupid. You know what they say, "If you can keep your head while everyone else is losing theirs, maybe you don't understand the situation." I still remember the moments of calm, all-observing reserve that let me take everything in at once.
My time on that ship ended after a big Thanksgiving meal and a bottle of wine. My partner and I were both stuffed and a little drunk. I offered to take his side of the hold, even though I'd never worked it. I was 28 and he was 19. I figured I could handle the wine better than he.
His side of the hold was the top side. To get there we climbed down ladders until we reached the hold floor (about 60 feet). Plates on the floor opened to conveyor belts. Coal fell onto the belt and was conveyed out of the ship. Top guy had to climb the sloping floor and then all the way up to the top of the wall by way of chains. There he would dislodge lumps of coal that had frozen to the hull or had lodged in the ribs at the top of the boat. Bottom guy pulled, pushed, raked coal onto the conveyor belt when it didn't fall there by itself.
On my third chain, I was all the way to the top of the hold, the ceiling above me was simply the bottom of the ship's deck. Holding the chain in one hand, with the other I poked at a clump of coal that was as big as I was. It had gotten wet and frozen in place in the girder that the deck sat on. I couldn't hold the chain.
Fortunately I hit the floor where it sloped, so I didn't just hit and come to a sudden stop. Still, it was a 60 foot fall. Next day I couldn't walk. Torn achilles tendon. Pretty lucky really.
I thought about that fall when I took another one on the ice last March. In the boat I saw everything. I saw the floor coming at me. I knew it was sloped. I saw the chain I would have to grab. I knew if I missed I'd land on the conveyor and quickly be rolled under tons of coal going to the big belt to be massed on shore. I had all the time in the world.
On the ice I had no time. Pieces of the experience flashed like still photos. What was in between the photos is simply gone. Before I could get over seeing my foot in the air, my hip was on the ground.
I could credit a) the relaxing effect of the wine for my first vision. b)I could also note that I was 28 then, 56 now. c) To fall then and there was not so surprising as here and now in my own driveway. d) All of the above.
Whatever the storm you're in, whatever space you're falling through, I'd have to say you have a) something that helps you relax, b) youth, c) no real surprise there.

Morning all...
Jerry...
I'm not sure what is happening to our nation. The old saying "As goes California, the rest of the nation soon follows..." quite frankly scares the crap out of me! And the debacle in Alabama decided not upon the Constitution, but the apparent inconsistency of whether the Ten Commandments should be displayed, despite the fact that it IS in numerous federal judicial offices is mystifying. (Gawd, what a sentence!)
California to give illegal immigrants state driver's licences? Why? By definition illegal is illegal! I've heard from friends that numerous small towns along the Texas/Mexico border, for all intents and purposes are more attune, legally, to the nation of Mexico than Texas. Children of illegal immigrants are schooled at Texas taxpayer expense!? Workers in Mexico, for all their good intentions send most of their American income back to Mexico. The government of Mexico would fail if this was prevented. That is exactly why Mexico complains loudly when Americans threaten to "crack down." The cash cow syndrome.
Illegal immigrants are just a trip wire for the aware. A friend of mine hunted mule deer in South Texas last year. He said the land manager told him to stay in the blind, not walk around, and beware of men moving north carrying backpacks. The old rancher said these Mexican nationals are carrying drugs (and Lord knows what else!) And are often protected by the MEXICAN ARMY! He also related not to be surprised when he saw turban headed men also headed north.
So...where is INS... They are stretched so thin that America is being successfully invaded. And assisted from within state and federal bureaucracy. The state of California is a great example of liberal policy run amok. State and federal handouts, inept officials, grab and get have bankrupt the state. That is, the 6th largest economy in the world is failing. Hear the alarm bells ringing? As goes California... America, the most powerful nation in the world will fall not to foreign armies, but from within. Tax and spend...

Randall - just goes to show you what the old song said "all of the monkeys aren't in the zoo!"
That kook makes Yang look like an old pal. But then I guess there is something to be said about someone who is not afraid to show their idiocy in a public forum.
Everyone heard of the big to do about the ten commandments? Well not to be undone, another group of idiots (five in all) have filed suite against the City of Fargo to have their marble rendition of those self same commandments removed from City Hall.
Now I don't know about you, but when I read the Constitution, I read it to say that the Government is prohibited from establishing a state religion, much like the Church of England and that sort of thing. The learned idiots who now staff the Supreme Court have used that bit of the bill of rights to prevent the Public PRACTICE of religion, despite the fact that the Supreme Court begin their sessions with a prayer to God, the Congress begin their day with a Prayer to God, and prayers are regularly said in schools (especially around final times), as well in the military (again especially around foxhole time).
It's all a crock but they have to make their show.
Such is the price of freedom I guess, but you know there used to be a copy of those Ten Commandments hanging in the classroom where I attended School in North Dakota (a matter of public law back then they were REQUIRED to be posted in each classroom in the State.)
Sometimes I wonder what happened to our wonderful nation?

Hey!
Cecilia... Please! I would strongly urge you to immediately seek out and retain competent medical care. Soonest... I did not read your shrill tirade, merely skimmed through. What I saw was laughable at best. Such incompetent drivel would make wildly erratic fruitcakes like H. Himmler burst out in uncontrollable giggling and engage in frantic scratching of their lower extremities. Please stop drinking your bath water and have a CAT scan ASAP! Or else, observe the shirttail at my buttocks and stop insulting my intelligence...
It may come as a surprise to you my inept dorkweed, but most citizens of the world understand what is happening in the Middle East. The Jews have taken a raw ... waterless desert of rock and stone and made it bloom with hard work and ingenuity and technological management. (Ever hear of drip irrigation?) This is the same desert that countless Arab cultures were unable to move beyond the level of 7th century technology. The men sat on their ass in tents while the women did the work, and they ate dates and discussed the in and outs of breeding camels. ("Ahab the Arab, sheik of the burning sand...") Savvy cultures that strive to improve their environment ... progress ... move forward physically, mentally and religiously. That is ... develop their home for the common good and advancement of future generations. God (and/or other Deities) demand humans follow a time tested plan identified as CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. (Arabs in Israel are teaching their children to hate, make bombs and kill innocent people. Which, BTW has never advanced ANY culture. For reference ... ask the Germans, North Koreans and more than a few African governments. Shedding blood WILL NOT get one an interview with any deity! Well, maybe Lucifer.)
Consequently, less motivated cultures like some Arab folks sit and wait for someone else to do the work. The blessed handout. Sit in the sand pit for an award in Heaven so to say. Down in Texas we call this behavior white trash welfare and BINGO many Arab's in Israel are nothing more than welfare trash on the dole from the UN that is supported by ... kind hearted Americans and JEWISH owned and operated industrial giants throughout the world. So there probably IS a Zionist movement and it exists to HELP inept cultures that seem to exist mainly in the Middle East. Self destruction is a well developed art form in most Arab cultures especially in Israel...
Amazed at the idiocy...

I'm changing my email address, and I'm not giving it to anyone until either this virus disappears or the other person changes their address too.
I had 340 emails today and of those about 10 I wanted, and of those, none from any of my buddies here.
This probably sounds insane, but that's what sobigs done to me.
It's even swayed my views on the death penalty.
Thanks for the anniversary congratulations.
Hubby's juicier than ever, I think he could probably use some of that garlic of yours HOWARD.
going....

Go ahead, step forward and take your medicine!
Somebody did it, and we need to say THANKS.
Today's high was only 68 degrees F!!!!
First day since August 2nd that it wasn't over 90 degrees F!
Somebody had to throw that switch on the thermostat!!!
It feels SO good, well it feels SO COLD!!!
Guess that's part of life in the upper Midwest, a sudden change of climate, well change of season one day over a hundred degrees the next you're shivering and looking for that sweater, where did I put it back in May when I last needed it?
Hope that they fry that little nineteen year old nerd!!!!
They charged our former governor/congressman with second degree manslaughter, in case you haven't heard it on the news. Sad deal all around but the Highway Patrol is bravely doing what is right and it's great to see them take the bull by the horns and stick the horn where it belongs. Not that I dislike Bill Janklow, I've known him for years, though I doubt he would know me should we meet on the street, but he was the Attorney General for our state back when I graduated from the State Police Academy, and made a great speech for our ceremony, and I've met him several times at different functions, but damn it if you drive with your head up your ass, you deserve to get your knuckles slapped. Now if they just find a judge with the balls of the Highway Patrolman who investigated the accident, and the State's Attorney who drew up the charges... I don't really want to see him kicked out of congress as that would be a mess but I think that's what's going to happen. John Thune may be next in line should the current Governor be forced to appoint. Thune was our congressman (We only get one due to our sparse population) before Janklow ran. John stepped down to run against Senator Johnson (D), but lost the election by just a few votes (Big scandal but Thune refused to drop to the level of our former vice president when he lost the election by under a hundred votes and there was ample evidence of voter fraud!)
I liked Thune too, though I've never had the pleasure of shaking his hand. He did a great job when he was our congressman, and only ran against Johnson at President Bush's request (The same is true for Janklow too, he ran for congress at Bush's request, looks like Bush had a hand in our elections doesn't it?)

Well, let's just say that with the shit storm blowing as it is, I feel a bit paralyzed. Huge decisions I can't bring myself to make just yet, but I know they teeter not far in front of my path.
Gravity, thank you for existing; how else would my feet find floor?
Funny.... at the same time the shit storm rages, I can stand looking at it all, as if it were slow-motion, and am completely calm.
Hold my breath, it's 'back on my head' soon enough. LOL
Oh, and what the HELL is this huge load of crapola posted beneath me?
Cheri - please no disparaging 'I can't possibly be a writer' announcements... It's too late - you're already one. BWA HA HA HAH AHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Now, the real challenge is to not worry about whether you're a good writer or not as you dive into the work of it.
No need to worry until the writing's done.
...and then there is revision.
SIGH.

** - They began to play non-masked? What kind of play?
- It described by Jewish Propagand Newspaper DN correspondent on November 15,
1999 ? - It caricaturized an Fatty Imbecill Premier, looks like G.rån Petsion
and Zionist Capitalism forced him like a toy... - Chutzpach! Typical
Jewish fräckhet!... But there is reality or I see any true effects for instance
Zionist Capoitalism needs toys... - Example? - Expo!... Very
useful toy by the side of "Living History" propagand product Co.
- What is Expo?
- Exported Fascist Actors of Zionist World Congress... Exponent of Jewish
Fascism... Expo-members playing legal masked shows on the Swedish scenes...
Zionist imperialismhave a lot of instruments to manipulate the history; Expo is
a such instrument and manipuate all the available siócial issues...
- ?!
**
- Expo is supported by all major bourgeoisie parties. The members of Fasvcit
Provcation League Expo: Tobias Hübinette: Infiltratör proocatör a time by AFA
and the first editor of Expo propagand bulletins. He was a victim in the
Childhood, victim of South Korean Pedofila markets... Perhaps therefore, he
always hated human being and civilization adopted by Swedish boss' who
registrated as potential criminals as incest-suspicious machos ... Fascist
Hübinette convicted for sabotage, agitation, slander, molestation and
destruction(skadegörelse).
- Other Fascist freak bitch is Anders Carlqvist: Uses the pseudonym Peter
Karlsson. Co-worker at Expo. Former AFA leader and convicted for assault when he
beat up somebody who didn't agree with him, also convicted for violence against
an official (våld mot tjänsteman).
- Considering how protected Expo is by the government, do you really think most
voters really know what a bunch of anti-democratic bastards they are? The voters
also voted for a party in which Björn Fries is a member. A man who doesn't have
much respect for either freedom of speach or UN article nr 19: Article 19 of the
United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right
to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold
opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and
ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." - Are you N. Socialist?
- No!... I am typical ordinary Humanist!...Just because I criticise Fascists,
they call me N. Socialist as a classical tactic... But they know well, it was 75
years before the N. Socialist had power... It's ironical Expo-members father
chosse the N. Socialists to the democraical power... When they chosse like a
toy, so they call "It's democracy", when you began show their Fascist face, you
are "N. Socialsit"... Itis so simply silly by these freaks... - Other members
of this section? - Kurdo Baksi, a well-paid homosexual half-mongolian
attitude Kurdish traitor who been neo-Zionist... **
- I understand that Expo's dirtiness spreads to the other willing lobbytorpeds
i Scandinavia... A story of democrat-masked league, undermine democracy
instead... Step for step...
- Because it's Expo's mission in SvekJa Kingdom!.
**
- What have you say about Expo provocations? - It's a freak provocative
instrument... Sleazy smear magazine gains prominent support... Lies beginning at
the first sight, although it is a Fascist magazine, under the "banner" of
anti-Fascism a disgusting product of bad journalism has achieved considerable
success in the Swedish media during the past spring and summer. The magazine
"Expo" has been supported by several prominent Capitalist Jewish Swedes, but is
actually a sleazy product linked to militant Zionist extremists. The magazine
claims that it is owned by a certain "Hill Foundation". However no such
foundation has been registered with the appropriate authorities and either the
foundation does not exist or its representatives are breaking the law.
- What about the redacteurs? - There are several redacteurs; they are
working as military rules... It is certain that some of the contributors are
known as criminals. But the magazine prefers not to give any real names of its
contributors and editors (with the exception of the publisher responsible under
Swedish press law). The member of the editorial board Tobias Hübinette has at
least five sentences by Uppsala district court.. - Uppsala is the
fourth largest city in SvekJa? - Yes, it's!... Pedophile criminals
formerly toy-boy Hübinette (Hübsch und Nette, says die German Pedopfiles on his
DVDs) crimes includes illegal threats, sabotage and harassment. When he
destroyed the cable TV system in a student area in Uppsala he claimed that TV
was a tool of democratical system and that students should not look at TV at
all. He has participated in political burglary and attacked banks (guess how
they fixing money). He has also participated in illegal threats against
democratical opponents.
**
- I have a question: Zionism (Jewish Fascism) uses Imperialist Tyranny or
Imperialist Tyranny uses Zionism (Jewish Fascism)? - ...or both eachth
other!? This is my answer. Exact the similar question was on any Homepages, for
instance Antifa Hamm's pages... Plus page;
http://100777.com/nwo/
- ?!
**
- I wonder who rules Expo?
- If we do analysis about this fact so we see firstly the role of "Expo"..
Beyond the fascist role we detect the "Big Fascists" who rules the
marionettes...
- Explain, please!
- An important part in this context is played by a fairly small magazine called
"Expo".
When Expo started in 1995 it was inspired by the British "Searchlight". The idea
was - according to official declarations from the editor - to expose nazis and
fascists, enemies to democracy, people who were prepared to use threats,
intimidation and violence in their political struggle.
Two things, though, soon was evident:
1. The target for Expo was not only these groups. The target included Blågula
Frågor and everyone critical to the mass immigration and the multiculturalism
project.
2. Expo itself had close ties to groups, ready to use threats and violence. One
of their own editors, Tobias Hübinette, had been sentenced on those kinds of
charges.
So the real aim of Expo was something else than the proclaimed one. It was to
combat any opposition to the Project.
Why mention this small magazine?
This is not just any kind of magazine! It has been given a key position. When
the mass media - television, radio, nation-wide daily papers - write about these
matters, they quote Expo for the "truth". So whatever Expo writes may be given a
wide publicity.
Expo works not only through its articles but also by sending letters and acting
behind the scenes. For example, it was a letter from Expo that recently stopped
the organisation MSG from acquiring membership in "Open Channel" (a public
access channel) in Stockholm, for local TV-broadcasting.
The recently elected board of directors at Expo includes people high up in the
administration and with access to police files.

- What are you thinking on these incredible scenes? - We must know that
our weakness is Imperialism's strength, I understand here again... - I agree
with you, Comrade Jonas Hållén! - You are welcome, Comrade Lars Törnman!
**
- I think, democracy should work better!.. Criminals and collaborators should be
arrested!
- Should we arrest the criminals?!. Don't make me laugh! - Well, I see the
double roles and false rules of the juridical instruments... What a shame we
been forced to label it "democracy"... How thus majority of people, thus living
creators, stinky mass could be so incredible nonsense blind meanwhile all the
enormous fraudulent process?!.. Unbelieveable!... This is a glaring
injustice!.. I wonder, what goes wrong by the juridical instruments... How can I
say?! It is very strange!... You now, if you see all these incredible cases,
nonsense attitudes... - How? Do you explain? What is concrete that you
remember? - Yes, I remember that David Janzon, a redactional worker of Radio
Islam, was sentenced to 4 months' imprisonment in October 1992, for the
station's agitation "against an ethnic group". Are the provocators of Capitalist
Fascist lobbies are really a ethnical group?! - There is so specially
groups? Okay, Jews!... It's the overclass group, nobody can imitate such
shurks... - But when you been oppressed so your accusation can only
be refuseed... The shurks are the masters 'cause they experinced a lot of cruel
methodes since many years... You can only suffer like many freedom fighters...
- Concrete cases? - Very much!... The judges of system who play dirty
rolls... It is extra incredible on Swedish justice-scenes that many foolish
judges been corrupted by Jewish authorities and they play extra horrible rolls
as pycho-proff doctor magister at policlinics... I can not meet all the judges
nor observate all the cases but I met many high-staff at Golf Club Tenerrife,
they explained... Shameful!... I can not explain here what they say on the
corrpted colleges, so awfully shameful... ... Court material look likes
simetrical sences, reasons are too similarly... Many papers of court been
published by the Bonniers, Nordstedt... Same mechanism publish as basic Zionist
propagand material, too... EU-membership... After 1995 impressed it by the
democratical authorities of other countries? - Unfortunately, it's in all
frauds, much more dirty now... If any true jurist goes to United Nations related
commissions or the independent justice authorities, so we shall most interesting
scandals... - What kind of scandals? - For instance Osmo
Vallo&Tony Mutka and other members of the "assassination on the so called
Resande Folket" cases... Märta Pettersson and others who murdered by the
"imported criminals" like Bengalian Zionist Mafia moblized in the EU; similarly
recruitment cases... Remember; what the relatiives of Tony Deogan, Dagmar
Hagelin, Anders Gustavsson demand... - Don't make me worry with
examles, don't list please much more!.. - It's not me who create the
official shame lists!.. Did you hear Osmo Vallo's two brothers and all other
relatives are arrested, too... The victims and witness been arrested instead of
murderers... Otherway, many freedom fighters forced to be jobless and living
under minimal standards... Most famous concret case is Stefan Dimiter
Tcholakov who labelled as "laborious" and Work Rights fighters Jimmie
Östergren, delegated adviser (former grafiker) Bengt Pettersson and Ahmed Rami,
because of these bravehearts criticized the thieves by the Capitalist Jewish
lobbies... Laponians who fight for own mark and minority rights, therefore
prisoned their representative character Olof T. Johansson, the true Socialists
like Bengt Frejd, Sara Lidman, Staffan Ehnebom, so-called the "Free Speech
Fighters", anti-Capitalist demonstranter like Jan Hatto, Sten Arne-Zerpe,
Dietlieb Felderer, movements who struggle against the weapon-handlers like
Henrik Westander (before professur-chair gift) and by his side likely flexible
Calle Höglund, anti-Imperialists Hannes Westberg, Herman Schmid, journalists
Staffan Beckman, Stefan Hjertén, free-mind intellectuals like Rainer Holm, Linus
Brohult, honoured priest K. G. Hammar and hundreds of the anti-Imperialists who
been registrated by the lobbies... - What is common with them?
- Also! When a Fascist accuse them so judges punish the reviewers,
immediately... But when the oppressed people leave any accusation acceptance,
can easily be refuseed ... The requests of them almost been absolutely
refuseed... - Why the DN, Expressen and other big papers awoid of to
publich these true stories?.. They awoid of to show the real discrimination?!
Schindler's List was only a filmatic illusion, actually the true boss never gave
a chance peace in communities... You know, Bonniers, Wallenberg,
Bilderberg-gangs and "Bulldogs" drive the Swindlers' lists, means all the
honoured intellectuals been registrated on their computers... Therefore
Stockholm-Canberra changed to be second plot area of Jew York-Tel Aviv's armed
Mafia... - Yes, it's!.. But what a lucky I have been warned before!.
- The authorities are blind on such actions.. Why? - Because every big
shurk drives by the big lobbies in this big SvekJa zionized Kingdom... - ?!
- How can we could informed and know the truth!?... - I can't reply all in
two minutes?! - Well!... I understand better... It's a modernised
version of enormous hypocrisy... And I understand why the worlkd couldn't react
when Jews slaughed people in Sabra, Shatila, Jenin... Everybody watched on tv
meanwhile druck Coca-Cola, chips, bonbons... - Like the film-druged idiots?..
- No, Sir!... We have incredible reactions and collaborated feelings too,
remember, we all cried when we watched on the Swindler's list, whole lies
master-piece on scenes... - Shame on double-moral masters!.. Where are the
all good peoples now?! - No way to Pessimism, please!.. Well, I see a
positive case here on the Scandinavian Jewish DN, Expressen, Menorah pages;
Maximum sentence for the desecration of cemeteries - an outrage which
traditionally targeted Jewish cemeteries - was raised from 6 months'
imprisonment to 2 years. Yes, the prisonment period raised in 1993, Spring.
Then... - It should not calls for case; it's provocation... There is no any
single case in SvekJa, means nobody sentenced, nobody improsined for
desecrations.. - Maximum sentence will be 2 years! Isn't good? - I
want not talk on the sentences good or not good... But I'm coming from Skaane
and I witnessed who targeted the cemeteries... - Who? -
Jews!... I saw them... They were there and porovoced very succesful so they
manipulated sitation... Therefore there is no prisoner after this pharagraph '
cause they aimed change the rules... - I remember a similarly case,
my mother witnessed and told us about the foxy Jews who played theatre at the
street on 30 November in Germania... It was before WW III, Jewish fanatics
crashed own glass and won enormous generous compensation by the reasurance
firms... But their media manipulated the world by the help of american
Imperialism so all the analphabets crying on every 30 September worldwide, every
year like a crying festival, meantime the Zionist boss' laughing behind the
windows...
**
- This is not the Cold War but a form of ongoing Cold War, what drives now by
the lobbies... This area demands the prejudiced scientists... - Why the
oppressed folk don't protest or discuss these problems... - Ever and never!
This is not the results of the football matches... People need knowledge on
biological developments... - Biological? Bur the lobotomies and
sterilization methodes were only in last century?! - System have now most
avanced methodes for instance isolation, registration and systematically
injustice... Only two tousand youngs become suicide in SvekJa Kingdom, two times
been a short news.. - Youngs?... But adults? - They never
counts by half officially pools.... Animal lover bourgeoisie have
sex-partner-dogs, counts for identification and health rights, but not the
discriminated persons... Never mind!... - There aren't really a single one
modernized democratical institution?
- ?! ** - I wonder why many
immigrants sets to work without language courses meanwhile many others been
discriminated because of their language is not "wonderful, brilliant"?.. - I
met many people too... For example after Warszawa pakt's collapse fleed
manybiologs to the occupied Middle East, Australia, SvekJa and specially the
laboratory workers sets on the jobs without any oppression... - Did you
found any explain about this subject?.. - Not directly... I met a family
in SvekJa, who calls for BOLDTs, escaped from Baltics by the way of so-called
"official Al Capone Raoul Wallenberg" Co's false Finnish pass and corrupted
authorities in Kingdom by the way of Jewish lobbies... A cunning mature, drives
"Invandrar Publications"... She explained that all these scientists had already
one or two international languages what been respected... - She lies!..
I know a writer, know six or seven language but SvekJa system set him too the
cleaner-catch boy courses... - Yes; I understand... Jolin replied this
case too; "maybe the writer criticised the oligarchical targets..." -
And she publish these subjects on the Invandrar Tidningen? Bravo!... - You
will be chocked; she help to the lobbies to registrate opposite... - Was she
biology-worker in Baltics... - No!... But system need such families to
follow the people and therefore she didn't go to the claenar courses and nor any
language course although her vocabulary is worst when I compare with other
immigrants... Nowadays fixed this family a credit possbility by the lobbies and
Swedish American authorities,looks like a support to publish weekly propagand
bulletin, called "Sesam"... - Is it a propagand bulletin which the
redacteurs in Jew York recommended? - Yes!... Worst and most dangerous in the
world... - Do you explain; what you discovered by Sesam or chief Jolin
Boldt or Jusek/jurists' judadominated syndical sect media runs by Göran Boldt
Co. although this zionist gang never had a single one scientist in the
family!.. - Yes, it's!.. But such chiefs are clever to use the regularly
credits of system... I am an ordinary people and regularly reading all the
issues of Sesam/Jusek falsification magazines and look at on these pages, what
these gangsters provoce: "Immigrants always have problems.. They must complete
their education and integrate to the democratical values..." Very
provocative...It means if you never been accepted as true citizen so you must
think that your education is low, complete it... If immigrated person is
non-judaic originated must complete cources to be disher, even if man is
professor.. But other immigrant who came from Warszawa and presented himself as
academician, accepted to be professor wit´hout a true diplom.. If you criticize
this dirty deal, riskable to be labelled that you collapsed on integration...
- A kind of tregistrated psycho? - Definitely!.. This is a nonsense
market... The masters of this neo-liberal "smiling fascist process" show no
pardon... Since many years the Swedish immigrant publications run by the fascist
zionist readcteurs, collaborators and inseminate false imagination... This is a
insemination what the Zionist Fascists do against thesecond class people in Tel
Aviv... In SvekJa Kingdom, by this shurk-coup drivessame project... Look at
these pages, even the Laponians counts like the second class people and never
discuss serious their minority rights, work rights by the industrial
investigations of Kingdom... They handled often like the Gypsies,more worst;
they handled like prisoners on its own marks like the Palestinians who prisoned
his own haoses there in the occupied Middle East... Do you discussuor rights
here on Immigrant pages? Never... Boldt have credit by Spaarbank and Nordea's
Jew chiefs... Why? Because, Boldt-gang is the best flexible which uses like a
condom against Human Rights...According of these shurks there is no any Zionist
Occupational Gang in the world, but Palestinians been counted as problematics...
Palestinians described like the immigrants there, what the oppressed people
behandles here in SvekJa Kingdom... Boldt and her lap-dogs manipulate the
questions of immigrants and never answer thequestions although there is two
pages for responses... - I know a Jewish paper in USA, redacteur send
letters himself and replies later instead of the true readers... -
Similar tactic!... What Big Brother do, Swedish hypocrites just imitate it...
Not only this fetty imbecill's Sesam, all other creit-addicted papers
administrations making copies of ordinary people's letters... mostly all these
half-officially "Invandrar" publication industry "brain washing instruments on
the immigrants" running on this line... what thelobbies, so-called
"registrationsnamnden" and the collaborators by the Swedish ministries like
much and therefore pumping money.. - Now I have a little question; is
Boldt-gangs are Jewish originated... - More dangereous... Members, so-called
"edsvurna" by the Zionist lobbies!...But how you guess about the origins of
these shurks?! - I am not so stupid although I like sometimes discuss
football, too... - ...and maybe a private question, too!.. How you can be so
close to Jolin!... - She like small and younger Africans like a tradition by
the bourgeoisise fetties nowadays and it was plus point when she discovered I am
from Ethiopia... - More question? - No more, 'cause I have
already all the answers on this area specially experiences by such kind of
chiefs who need my massage... This is biology, too; bio-physique... - But why
all these lobbies hate Rainer Holm?.. Rainer is not immigrant.. - He
registrated because of the critics againt the system and projects.. - What
kind of system? Whose projects, whose rules? - Kidding? - ?!
**
- Different faces but same play on the dirty scenes!..
- That is right!.. Unfortunately, a crow goes but another crow comes...
Betrayers love eacht other and they always have supporters by the financial
lobbies... For example Sparbank, Nordea, Associates thieves Co,
Citibank/CitiGroup, even CSN and other similarly ziondominated betrayers,
lean-mousetraps...
- More dangerous than all other classical mafia examples... Because all these
liberalized instruments have both legal and illegal leagues, different faces on
the different scenes...
- Flexible fascism!..
**
- Not only this case and such victims, all the anti-imperialists
are the potentially criminals, according to the registrators of lobbies...They
are suspicious in all cases, on all the connections... - They are
suspicious perhaps only on our duties... Otherways I met an interesting gay, he
talks perfect Persian like a true Iranian citizen, practiced around of Gulf...
- Dehdari? Kamali? Tagawi? - Bijan Fahimi!.. This gay, Persian Zionist
case enough to explain any connections between many Swedes... Such "imported
instruments" help to compare with the opprtunities and opportunists for example
these persons systematically been discrimined: Staffan Ehnebom, Jimmie
Östergren, Ahmed Rami, Ernst Rainer Holm (regime critic worker, disappeared in
Gaevle city just after May Day 2003), Henrik Westander, Osmo Vallo (murdered by
police torture in Malmuu-city) and his prisoned brothers, Tony Deogan and
Anders Gustavsson (both murdered by system supported violence leagues and
prosecutors didn't accuse anyone because these poor boys weren't from
bourgeoisie cathegories in the community and both criticized sytem by any
articles before), Bengt Frejd, Olof T. Johansson, Sara Lidman, Calle Höglund,
Belay Mekkonen, Hannes Westberg, Linus Brohult, Sven Wollter, Gunnar Thorell,
Murat Yildiz, Bodil Margret Lindqvist, Staffan Beckman, Ísmet Celepli, Juan
Fonseca (when he had not so intensive interesse on money), Ditlieb Felderer,
Stefan Hjertén, Stefan Dimiter Tcholakov...
- Is it dangerous to have same name? - Very riskable!.. Nephew Stefan
forced to be psyhico because one of the his relatives in Balkan were the
anti-Zionist guerilla leaders... One of the guerillas had same name forced for
Independent Makedonia and jailed by false accusations of two Jewish judges from
Bulgaria just after 1945. Guerilla leader had no possibility to defence himself,
Jewish judges published only the false accusations, including fictive movements
who leaned weapon from Germania under WW II. Although many corrupted judges and
prosecutors were the traitors, this power manipulated history; nobody succeed to
choose what is right what is wrong by medial campaigns... Guerillas, like
"Uncle Tcholakov" sentenced without any minimal evidence.. He died there... We
see another Tcholakov in Scandinavia, immgrated, but pursued and falled in
incredible troubles... This nephew Tcholakov, "immigrated heimatlos Stefan"
borned in 1944 as Dimiter, become a brilliant academical carrier in Sofia
university and fleed to SvekJa Kingdom, completed 180 university points but
prevented from work life, pursued, isolated, discriminated by the the Jewish
registrators, lobbies, specially the collaborators of Clas Lilja
"genetical-researcher Zionist clan" members in the Waexsjö city university...
I can add other figures, too; for example the victims from West Front like
Robert Malecki as true Vietnam deserter and as second category; Jan Myrdal,
Teddy John Frank, Frank Baude, Peter Bratt, (his cell-shared-comrade Jan
Guillou pissed off from lists because he is a multi-milliarder rich, reached to
be droged creatur at last), Dagmar Hagelin (been pursued by Zionist lobbies who
collaborated with dictators of South America and murdered there by fascist
military of Astiz.. Dagmar murdered because her father listed as Marxist and
very interesting now, his family affected by persecution, all the relatives
troubled similarly case and systematically hunting by the Zionist lobbies),
Torsten Leander (only this one pursued person compensed as symbolic maneouver),
Work Rights Fighters Jimmie Östergren from Högdalen and his ombudsman Bengt
Pettersson from Folks house Raagsved Ghetto district, Lilian Gustavsson who is
mother to Anders, 17, murdered by torture methodes of bulldog Anders Carlsberg's
fascist boys at Fyrshuset trainee center in Hammarby bourgeoisie area of
capitol. After that Anders Carlberg prized as Integration chief and poor mother
Lilian still betrays by the Jewish manipulation center Expo's "professional
liars"...
- It looks like a living history...
- That is right and tv redaction collected much more figures, the names of the
victims, all the almost anti-imperialists... - The "Human enemies"
will not like to talk on such cases.. They hate the truth... - It's true!...
The profiteers of system hate human being... We collected here hundreds of
names... Count please the victims of Estonia ferry, which used to transferring
the nuclear weapons to the West and sinked by an explosion; prosecutors hunted
the criticer intellectuals not the criminal propagandists of Jewish
DN-Expressen-Menorah falsificators nor the boss of weapon markets...... Why thus
people counts in two different categories and what is difference between two
oppressed or only been registrated followed people I don't understand... But you
can notice much more if you visit Veritas Co. Veritas fraud league is a computer
and distribution which serve the falsificators, Swedes call him "Jankele Pirat
kopiormästaren!", means "Bitch falsificator masters' bastard"... -
What is common with all these plays? What is the connection but with our
tennisplayer monkey? - That is the question... They don't know
anything and therefore we are on the duty, means their unknowledge is our
gain... - Game?! - You need go to the ear specialist, my
friend; Nordic climate is not fit to your upside... - ?!
**
- Please, my friend!... Take these coverages back to the archives!.. Explain
nothing there, outside;please! I'll do tanksgiving because I have only ond year
to be retired.. - Wait!.. Wait!.. My son and daughters already at AMS and
their fiancees fixed places at Länsarbetsnämnden, Migration teater's
integrationsverket.. It was difficult to be staff there, without any true exam,
nor really job interviews... We mustn't leave their situations on risk!.. - ?!
**
- I witnessed any related cases... But a woman who formated this explain she was
been guilt, instead of the suspected persons... Don't make laugh on such
stories, please!... One of these writers named Bodil Margret Lindqvist wrote a
saga/story and faced PUL when the Evangelist coup of Swedish church spioned
her... But folks insist to be solidarised with Bodil Margret Lindqvist... Dod
you know, why? Resistance against discrimination... Saga on Ulf BERG , for
instance, this saga is a strong file of Bodil's works... Saga-files are a kind
of action; yes, I should remember that Bodil Margret Lindqvist was VPK-follower
rebel... - VPK? - Vaensterpartiet kommunisterna.. Main European
leftist parties changed themselves but traditionally hate clans of zionist
imperialism didn'rt change the persecution process on the antiimperialists...
- They hate human being... - That's right!.. This is one of the
reasons; yes, she was a famous member by Communist Party... There are any
related explains on her own homepages what she been attacked and therefore
cleaned many pages..
An example about the first story pages of Bodil Margret Lindqvist:

Short story creations like Comrade Bodil's extra diary pages:
http://pub.alxnet.com/guestbook?id=2346394 There are many
solidaríty groups around such anti-imperialist figures for example, the readers'
notices to the story teller Bodil:

Bodil's close friend Comrade Jörgen "Snegroy" (second nick: Kennedy Palme)
built a support page:
http://www.javascript.nu/cgi4free/guestbook/guestbook.pl?account=snegroj3&link
- ...so far you works on Internet, it's possible that anybody try to manipulate
it.....
- That is right!.. Tere are many fanatics like Livets ord and other fascist
lkeagues who attacking the anti-imperialists. - Definitely!.. Bodil's
works been attacked by Livets ord... There are many server, like Maccabi Jewish
staff and fake Anti-Fa homepages... They still contunie to manipulate... This
is the true terror, advanced by technical support lobbies...
- Sometimes we see good friends, who show very useful solidarity for instance
Jörgen K.; he is Bodil's close friend, struggles well. - This is the
"True Living history"... - If you have any question so I recommend
you'll call to this civil-courage symbol, "Story-teller".. Here is the directly

- Wet? Land? - Yes, it's is a piece of SvekJa Kingdom!...
**
- Even it's not acceptable!.. My heart says; "No!.." - What is most
unfair? - To be handled like the animals in the farm of George
Orwell.. Looak at all these swindler masters who have two-legs only difference
between the other kind of piggs... - I understand your reactions!... But if
you insist to go on the last two legs, riskable that you can be sanctioned.. Did
you heard that many people gone suicide? - Media didn't explain......
- Whose media? Anyway there are many people, even an ordinary list can take
many pages of newspapers... Advertisements are important than suicide victims,
nowadays... - You mean that the system can piss off... - Legalized
cleansing by modernized methodes... Hundreds of people gone suicide only in last
year... - Human? - ?! **
- I wonder what is the reason this story-teller uses a strange grammar.. Bad
english, according to the web administrations.... Worst than my chief's school
english level...
- I understand you, too!.. But you know, I met this autor, a clever girl who can
talk wonderful.. I mean, she is a successful person when she talks plenty
fluently on other matters...
- But why this girl tells her story in so incredible strange english?
- I try to explain!... Yes, I asked her about this flat language... She replied;
"When I wrote in correct english, pissed off by the bourgeoisie dominated
media"... So, after this explain I checked it and witnessed that she has
right...
- I wonder the majority been masochists nowadays?!
- Ye', it is stranger than language!... ... Maybe we are living in a period
there bourgeoisie living a social sickness like mass masochistical delusion
system... We piss off the normally attitudes...
- Also, you mean the autor aims to write good tales in bed grammar to fix the
barries of establishment on this sick medial world...
- Approximately...
- But she make folks laugh!... Please, watch this clip, super irritable bad
english.. She makes me laugh, too!...
- Sure!.. Story teller aims it... Otherwise, you are a living evidence that she
succeed to make laugh you like any other pieces of this oligarchical system!..
- What!?..
- ...and at last this story teller added that she believe in "Mankind changed
so much, nowadays civilizated people mostly looks like a kind of animal who can
learn during laughing"...
- ?!

- This broadcasting clip remind me of "the Invisible Writers".
- What does "invisible writer" mean?
- Many years ago I knew a grizzled old playwright named Ray. He lived off state
disability checks, carried his manuscripts in brown paper bags, and drank cup
after cup of black coffee, which I poured for him from behind the counter of the
coffee shop where I worked. He had one piece of advice for me: "Read Othello.
If you want to be a writer you must first read Othello." Ray was a blue-collar
guy who had never gone to college, but he had read Shakespeare, checked out from
the public library near the furnished room where he lived. Ray understood plot
because he had lived and experienced it. He was a born writer. Over the years
I've met a diverse collection of writers who have never been published or earned
any academic credentials, yet whose claim to the title of artist is genuine.
These invisible writers are soldiers and bakers, convicts and salesmen, winos,
hairdressers, firefighters, farmers and waitresses. Their only qualifications to
literary authenticity are their writings and their desire to write. Often the
only time they have is stolen time, and their private scrawls end up on cocktail
napkins, penciled in the margins of receipts, on any piece of paper handy. I
got to know Tom Carson during the first Gulf War, shortly after his platoon had
been sent to Kuwait. We never met in person. He had written to a co-worker of
mine who had moved on, leaving no forwarding address. When I saw the U.S.
military return address on Tom's letter, I decided to answer it myself. We began
a correspondence that lasted through the war and after he returned to Fort
Benning, Georgia. During a hectic two months, Lt. Carson wrote 39 poems. His
themes were the regimented insanity of military life, isolation and loneliness,
the wind and rain of his soul. Carson wrote his lines in rare solitude, in a
barracks or a tent. During the day, he told me, the thoughts gathered in his
head; he censored them but the forbidden words found expression anyway, for even
the U.S. Army cannot discipline the imagination. People imprisoned in
stultifying, menial jobs can summon, with even a minimal command of language,
something entirely private, unfettered and incalculably powerful. Most
importantly, it is something of their own creation that cannot be taken away.
The sense of purpose and identity that comes with being a writer, creator of a
private world, can be life altering. I've known truck drivers who are
natural-born storytellers; fishermen who paint starkly beautiful word pictures
of life on a crab boat in the Bering Strait. I met a barely literate ex-convict
whose short story about losing his wife and child in a revenge killing for a
gang crime he'd committed was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever read. I met
a ex-alcoholic who wrote about being abandoned by her husband. In a few simple
paragraphs this uneducated woman in her mid-50s expressed a universal sense of
loss in an entirely unsentimental fashion; something that cannot be taught in
any MFA program. My own father, a novelist who was never published, once wrote
about being fired for writing on the job – a chronic problem in his lifetime. He
worked on an assembly line in a factory that manufactured radios, and the
foreman caught him writing one day while the neglected radio parts moved past
him on the belt. "I was only half a radioman," wrote my father. "In my heart, I
was a poet." As Chester Himes wrote in "The Quality of Hurt": "No matter what I
did or how I lived, I had considered myself a writer....It was my salvation. The
world can deny me all other employment, and stone me as an ex-convict...as a
disagreeable, unpleasant person. But as long as I write whether it's published
or not, I'm a writer." I met Celia at a roadside diner, where she cooked greasy
breakfasts for travelers whose faces she'd never again see. Writing, for Celia,
was a way of being elsewhere, of undoing, undreaming, her mundane daily life.
The monotony of her job and the deadening rituals she performed daily were the
inspirations for the poems she scribbled on used order tickets. To hate your job
and do nothing about it is a failure of imagination: a true life sentence. A
Frenchman I know who was a maitre d' at one of the Washington's finest
restaurants, possesses a novel he composed in the twilight time between the
lunch rush and the dinner hour. His joy on writing it was immeasurable. That it
may never be published did not faze him. The point is that he created it. He
finished it. It is his. "Fiction completes us, mutilated beings burdened with
the awful dichotomy of having only one life and the ability to desire a
thousand," Mario Vargas Llosa wrote. I've often looked for my old playwright
friend Ray's name in print, but have never seen it. I imagine him sitting in a
coffee shop somewhere, brow furrowed as he revises lines of his latest play,
completely absorbed in the world of his characters. I'm sure it frustrated Ray
at times, that his work went unrecognized, but it never occurred to him to quit;
just like it would never occur to him to stop breathing. It is not strictly a
tragedy that Ray's plays, the maitre'd's novel or Celia's poems remain
unpublished. Much of the work comes into being for private reasons of the heart.
If every sentence that was written was printed and bound we would drown in a sea
of words – as it is, thousands of books are hastily published, barely read and
forgotten. Writing itself is the aim, for it is writing, not publishing, that
transforms individual human experience. To write, even in obscurity is
worthwhile. As Samuel Becket put it, writing is a way of leaving "a stain upon
the silence."
- It's true!.. Wonderful described and we are listening a kind of the "stain
upon the silence", just here...

TEEKAY -- just so folks don't think I'm ignoring you, and in case you didn't get my email in all this sobig junk, my garden is doing well. thank you.
I'm already planning next year's garden, and should be planting the garlic in a couple of weeks. I dug about a bushel of potatoes from the one row I planted -- got a real nice return on it! We're getting lots of squash, and there are a lot of green tomatoes. The sweet corn is starting to show ears, and I have two nice melons starting to ripen. Beets didn't do well at all, nor did broccoli or cucumbers. The second planting of beans is about ready to be picked, and the basil is doing VERY well! I got several pounds of garlic, but some of it didn't turn out well, so I won't be replanting much of my homegrown stuff. I ordered some fresh stock (some different varieties) to plant this fall.
I did put in some more strawberries, and hope they don't get winter-killed again.
howard 8-29-2003 10:20
Just curious, but is the workbook shut down or somethng? I haven't seen any new posts on the new work section since the 21st. If so, please let me know.
On a brighter note, I have still avoided getting the virus so I am quite happy about that.
Watching Two Towers now, so I must go. Ta!

Girl's day out, woo hoo! Hi everybody! Great to see you Heather and Mary! Nice to see you too, Rachel, Jerry, Mark, Randall, Jack, Carol ... YANG! Weird, I'm not upset to see old Yang joining us once again. It almost feels like he belongs here, that he might amuse us once again with his idiocy. Yeah, I know he's not visiting personally, but I wish he would. Perhaps we should all email him daily?
Teekay, Hi you! Happy anniversary! My gosh, that's an incredible amount of time to have spent in the company of one person. I'm raising a glass to you and hubby. Cheers!
I AM back, as white as ever, but wearing a big grin; vacation was fab! I feel like I'm a real person again. Congrats on winning your auction, I'm so relieved for you. And your daughter is a true artiste! Impressive!
Sobigs have got my email bogged down too, though they only overflowed my box once so I'm not going to complain. I'd almost think it was a good gag if people weren't actually getting their systems infected. Now that's not funny 'tall.
Howard, Your goose joke cracked me up! I didn't get it until you said YOU didn't get it either, and so I looked at it with a different perspective and wham! It's so perfectly cheesy that I've got a new favorite joke. :D
Americo, Are you back from vacation yet? You know the funny thing is that I actually picture you on holiday with two cats, one named Jon and one named Pussy and no one else, sipping/lapping up drinks on the Riviera. It makes for an amusing holiday picture. You have imprinted those two characters so thoroughly in my mind that they truly exist for me. That's what writing is all about.
Now, I'm off to watch The Two Towers. I spent last night watching the documentaries and the trailor for Return of the King! How will I wait until December?
G'night!

Power outage in London. Of course terrorists had nothing to do with it just like they had nothing to do with the one in the eastern United States. Funny how these coincidences happen. I cannot help thinking there is some connection, but then again I am a writer with an over-active imagination.

Got to watch a 75 mile per hour wind blow through town today, it was a trip to say the least. The neighbors tree blew down, dang thing was nearly thirty five feet tall, must have been forty years old, at any rate took out our cable tv, ripped the cable right off the old house. Not much more damage though, just a ten foot branch fell from another tree across my pickup cab, just left a few scratches, I watched it fall and ran out (Well sort of hobbled out) and pulled it off the roof before it scratched too deep.
Me heart went out to the fire fighters here though our small volunteer department responded to three large grass fires just before the big blow, and a 75 mile per hour wind can make a fire travel twice as fast. They had their work cut out for them till the rain came and gave them some help. They are just now getting back into town, I can hear them on my police scanner they've been out there since a bit before five PM when the lightning started the fires before the big wind came.
We drove about town, there were trees down all over the place, but it looked like the good Lord was watching out for us as there didn't seem to be much damage to homes, a few broken windows and a storm door or two were gone, but some trees that looked as though they should have crushed the trailer homes that they hit, seemed to blow right over the top and landed on the opposite side. Wind does strange things sometimes.

It's my and hubby's anniversary today. 19 years. I have now been married as long as I have been single. Funny, it seems longer.
He woke up with a runny nose and red eyes, so there won't be any of that mooshy stuff going on.
Okey dokey. I'm orf.

Love ya and miss ya! I have sent you a couple emails but no replies. If you aren't in the mood for emails...don't be in a hurry, but if you just aren't getting them, let me know! I have been watching for you here; was getting worried that maybe a virus ate your hard drive, or you had problems with the reformat you were gonna do. Good to see you!!! And YES... please post a shortie this week. I would be very interested in a tale about you and your mother. Hugs!

Anyhow, I haven't been writing for a couple of months now. I think it is mostly due to depression. My job is over at the end of September, so I'll be looking for a new one soon. That coupled with lots of family obligations and an 'I don't think I'll ever be a real writer' complex is just about enough to keep anybody down. I decided to try, try again!
HEATHER: My son's birthday is July 21st! He's a happy six year old now. Congrats to your friend.
I know what you mean about failing to find the words to express what you feel. There are times when I feel such great love for my children and husband that the words 'I love you!' don't seem to do justice to those feelings.
ALL; RE: The sobig virus. I too have been inundated with emails. I did recognize Litter's email address, but no one else. I remember reading that the virus harvests from Outlook Express and that's what we use here at work. Don't know if that's connected in any way.
Well I hope to be writing more soon!
PS Where's that wonderful librarian been lately? Mel? Are you out there?

Could SOBIG have stopped?? I hope so haven't had any this morning as of yet!
I see our oriental friend is back and posting again, wonder how many orders he gets from this post?

Groaning right along with you, Howard. I received the viral mail from a mountain of unfamiliar emails, and then several from Hallee, Litterali, and Carol!
Something strange is afoot, no?
Good to be back HOME in the virtual sense as well as the physical sense... it may still be some time before my heart makes it back from New Brunswick, however!
What an incredible trip. My best friend's first child was born July 21st, and what a perfect baby boy! His name is Griffin, and has the sweetest elfin ears I've seen. :oD
Has anyone else felt so awed by nature and life that to write of it is to fall desperately short of adequate words? I'm sure we all have, yet this experience feels as if I'm grappling for non-existent adjectives like no other before it.
I'm not certain whether this is good or not! I'm having a time painting anything else but the ocean - it has seeped into my brushes methinks. Funny thing is, there's a saying about the ocean - that we 'lose time by the sea'. Right it is, too. Gone for two weeks, but parts of me are still there; all sense of time was gone - now it has returned but I am still losing track of days... (well, forgive me, oh months of summer, for forgetting your potent magic!)
Hope all is well with everyone here - I missed all of you terribly!

I ran a full system scan this afternoon and everything. LOL. DORK.
Innyhoo...SHORTIE THEME for this week...drumroll please.....ummmm...no, not a poem, everybody hates me when I pick that one...ok...how 'bout:
A memory of your mother when you were a child.
Mary 8-26-2003 0:44
I hope.
for now, anyway.
And maybe for next thursday afternoon.
Had an interesting thingie this afternoon. Pulled into the conveniencs store in town, to replenish my supply of my favorite jalapeno-flavoured sunflower seeds (whole, not shelled) and saw a damsel in distress at one of the pumps (it's also a Mobil gas (petrol) station).
I use the term "damsel" a bit charitably, as she was probably very nearly my age.
Anyway, walked over to see if I could be of assistance, and she jokingly asked "How could you tell I was having trouble?"
I said "One -- your car has New Jersey plates (they can't pump their own gas in NJ). Two -- you do look rather flustered and confused (nothing personal, just an observation). And Three -- you're trying to pump diesel fuel into your gasoline tank. That's why the nozzle (luckily) won't fit."
We laughed off her embarrassment, and I got her some towels from the next pump to wipe the fuel off her hands, then went into the station with her to explain to the clerk what had happened. No problem -- she thanked me, and I went over to pick up my snacks. I paid for them, and went back out, only to see that she had pulled over to the next set of pumps, and was trying to get them to work.
"Your credit card goes in the other way -- you have it upside down and backwards."
She handed it to me with an incomprehensible gurmble. (For the uninitiated, that's a sort of a cross between a gurgle and a mumble), then a "Thank you again!"
"No problem -- regular gas?"
"Yes, please. Do you do this often? You're so nice. Most people would just laugh!"
"I think we're here for more than to laugh at someone's troubles. Fill it up?"
"Yes, thank you! Do you live around here? People are so nice here!"
And at that point I saw her looking intently at my left hand, and I could swear her smile dimmed a little.

What the hell maybe someone with that sort of background would be GOOD for California. Myself, I've been hoping it'll just fall off in the ocean before the election and settle the mess for once and for all.
Still getting sobig virus messages and have no idea where from, some of the returns do look sort of familiar things like @officemax.com and @whitehouse.gov maybe it's Bush, that's it!!!! Let's blame this on Bush too!!!! Might as well seems their trying to blame everything from the blackout to west Nile on him already. Incidently there have been two more deaths from West Nile here in South Dakota and a fellow just fifty miles south of here has come down with it, that's getting too close for comfort.
I have been thinking of converting to Linux again, I have the latest releases of both Red Hat and Mandrake, in fact I have Mandrake set up within Conectex's Virtual PC on this machine guess I could just use that to pick up my mail but it would be a pain just the same. For all I've been doing of late I could probably do with Linux since I stopped playing games and such a long time ago and I do have Star Office for Linux to use for writing. It's just making the switch and then there's all this software I have that I'd have to run on my server or something....

LITTER -- Ahh the price of fame! :-})
MARY -- Remember the old saying about "when you have sex with someone you're also boffing everyone that person has had sex with?" Likewise with Email, it seems.
Some people have their mail programs set to enter ino their address book everyone they reply to.
--- BAD IDEA!! ---
Then they're flabbergasted when they find out how many people -- people they don't even know -- are in there. Multiply that by the number of cute Email thingies forwarded, or replied to with "reply all." Throw in the number of rejection slips sent by the editor of Cosmopolitan on a bad hair day, and the number becomes astronomical!
And that's just for my cousin (the blonde) in Paducah!
Like Custer said -- "Holy mackerel, Batman! Lookit allothem damn Spam!" Or something like that...
I tried to post this earlier today -- now, 6 hours later, and after restoring my system back to a Saturday checkpoint (before a Norton Ghost install) I'm back up and running. I hope.
No, it wasn't the virus -- I ran all the checks for that. I think it was actually the Ghost install. Bummer! I was gonna use it for a system backup.
I should just switch over and run Linux, and throw windows oout the door!
Lessee if this will post now...

I read in the papers that some investigator has found that Arnold's father was a member of the Nazi SS troopers. Don't ever run for office unless you don't mind having your dirty laundry -- skidmarks and all -- exposed to public view.
Re: the virus -- less than 10% of the stuff I've received actually contains the virus. The rest of it is just scary spam. I think if they ever do find the instigator of this thing he/she is in for a long hard time. I hope they line his cell walls with screens that show constant popups, and beep and chirp all day (and night) long! And give him a radio that only plays the Microsoft logon/logoff chimes! And a dot-matrix printer (just out of reach) that is printing non-stop copies of obsolete IBM manuals! And a mouse that bites! And the one screen that works is off registration!

I've also been getting stuff from a couple of .indiana... ids -- I remember JERRY said he'd got stuff from a park in Indiana as well.
Lots of duplicates too -- so far today I've gotten over 100 again, with many of them being duplicates, and some looking like possible variations, like someone's second Edress, perhaps.
There's suspicion now that this might be a preliminary to a really bad attack on or shortly after 9/11/2003. It's possible, I guess. It's been reported that the cost of this thing to businesses has gone over $50 million, and some are saying that the blackout may have been caused or at least helped by the blaster worm/virus that preceded sobig.
I haven't heard from several E-respondents (including Teekay) since all this crap started flooding the net. Dunno if they got hit, or if they're just laying low.
I start school tomorrow -- two classes on Tues and Thur, one off campus and one regular class. They should be fun - one called "Story-telling and World Folktales" (Lit-264) and "Literature of the North American Wild" (Lit-272) They're both "Writing Emphasis" classes, so I'll get some practice. The second one is held off campus at one of our local senior centers -- should be a good place to swap tall tales! :-})

By the volume, I'd guess that someone with an address spider got hit. Someone like a marketer. The workbook gets hit every 20 minutes by someone with klez trying to access my MS scripts directory. Fortunately, I have no MS on this machine. I have been able to discover that the ip it says it comes from is spoofed. From here though, tracking it down is more trouble than my isp wants to handle right now.
HOWARD determined a month or so ago that his address was spidered up by a marketer from NB archives. If the jerk with that spider also got your edress, and got sobig, there you are.
So far only LITTER has reported getting addresses snatched from NB. I must be in someone else's circle of friends. I am active on the net, though, so I could get tagged from any of several places.
Removed about 100 yesterday. Had 47 this morning at 7:30. It's now almost 10:00 and I've removed another 14. I'm not counting any more.

I can't say that I recognize any of the address most appear to be spoofs such as dricspots@aol.com and such but they do get a bit annoying.
I've reverted to Norton and it's doing a bang up job of keeping the email free of viruses, it pops up about every ten minutes or so saying it's cleaned another, then a couple of mins later I get the mail notification of the arrival of a clean email. I've opened the properties but there isn't a clue there either the virus seems to cover it's tracks well like most of the idiot spams that come by.

I am getting stuff from municipalities, stores, a Bible salesman, hotels, and some other strange-looking ids.
This could get scary, when you stop to think of some of the businesses and banks that use the internet to conduct their business. Then there are the schools, with online classes and seminars, as well as other folks conduction non-trivial communications. The ripples could affect more than just our Email. Hospitals and doctors routinely send patient data -- some of it rather critical -- via the internet, and some of our emergency services use it as well.
Could get to be a lot bigger than we imagined!

Hey!
Well, it's a slow day...so file this under FYI. A big high five to the SLCT for rejecting an ad that insults millions of dead holocaust victims. Annnnnnnd a thumbs down for PETA who should have known better, but did and obviously didn't care.
UTAH TV STATIONS REJECT PETA AD
By Rhina Guidos
The Salt Lake Tribune
Local television stations in Salt Lake City told animal-rights activists this week that they won't air an ad comparing animals on the way to slaughterhouses to Holocaust victims on the way to concentration camps.
Matt Prescott, a representative for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in Norfolk, Va. said four Salt Lake City stations rejected the advertisement, which depicts an animal inside a truck on the way to a slaughterhouse. The ad was supposed to air in Utah on Thursday and Friday.
David Phillips, KUTV's general manager, said he saw the 30-second spot and made the decision not to air it.
"I thought it was inappropriate," Phillips said. "I think the PETA agenda of linking the Holocaust victims is not good. I just looked at the video and we went no further."
Prescott, who says members of his mother's family died in the Holocaust, traveled with the exhibit "Holocaust on a Plate" when it came to Salt Lake City earlier this month.
He defends the comparison, which has outraged Jews and others around the country.
A voice in the PETA ad says: "They came for us at night. Beat us. We cried out in the darkness. With no food or water, and barely air to breathe."
"It had dark imagery and a real negative, dark tone to it," said Dale Darling, local sales manager of KSL-TV. "It ended with a plea for everyone to be vegetarian."
Darling said he gave the ad a lot of thought but ultimately rejected it. The comparison to the Holocaust bothered him the most, but he also said it wouldn't be fair to advertisers running ads next to it.
"It seemed too depressing with a winter-type scene of trees with no foliage. It had a real heavy tone," Darling said. "It couldn't be next to an upbeat, bright, happy Old Navy spot."
PETA has a history of getting its ads rejected.
In November, two Canadian newspapers refused PETA ads comparing the slaughter of animals to a serial killing in Canada.
Prescott said stations in 15 cities nationwide are airing the ads. Many cities, such as Boston and now Salt Lake, have rejected them.
"I think it's a shame, because people need to understand where their food comes from," Prescott said.
Seems Mr. Prescott's elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. Most intelligent people know where there food comes from. It's all part of FREE CHOICE Americans enjoy. Like chosing to drive SUV's instead of tin cans from Korea that crumple when encountering anything bigger than a German Shepard... I don't know about you guys but I am able to process my own food, read meat and hope to fill my freezer this weekend with plump South Texas Doves...

I'm alive and well. I've been keeping busy with kiddies and horses. One of the jobs I took is horse care. Dan and I were seeing to 22 horses. The owner has sent eight out of the 22 back to the track, which leaves us at 14, which is a nice number to work with. I hope all is well with you :o)
Ciao for now.

Way over 600 sobigs and rising. Seems that they are 90% repeats of addresses that have previously seen. As far as the harvested names of people I know on the Notebook is concerned, Howard's address is at 15, with Heather close behind on 13, then 10 for Hallee, 9 for Rhoda, and a late starter with a modest three, is Mary. Don't fret, I have apparently sent out lots to people as well, including Heather. I've blocked the names of all the apparent senders for the moment and I'll reinstate the addy's of Notebookers when this thing has run its course. Fortunately, only 1 of my email addresses is getting this crap. I'm also getting lots of sobigs from a county park in Indiana!
News here has it as a potential 'Organised Crime' scam, vandalism, or the possibility of 'e-terrorism' (not a favourite theory of mine as it is not nearly nasty enough) and a ploy to get all those infected to visit a porn site. (According to a Chicago Sun News.) The irony is that if enough infected machines are out there, the Porn server would be brought down. Shame. ….But the story is unfolding all the time.
Anyone alive out there?

Hey!
Will this bug ever go away? I have opened my yahoo mail box twice today. Both times they say I am 125% over my alloted amount of space. Bulk mail is running 47 to 50 messages and one regular mail of 101KB with a notice of error in sent message. I delete EVERYTHING and open nothing... Hope the Good Lord doesn't notify me for any reason by e-mail, cause I'll sure miss it...
Night all,

For Weatherbug alerts I have the "Could be worse -- could be raining" lines from "Young Frankenstein.
Anyway, MARK posted a great article on the WB re the virus/Email flood. Check it out!
Couldn't sleep last night -- dreamed (among other things) that there's another blackout scheduled for the evening of 8/26. All of us who have been waiting for the LOTR-Two Towers video will be frustrated yet again! :-}(

Hey! TGIF!
On a somber note the tales of wood splinters remind me of a sad incident many years ago... My wife and I were invited our friends house, Wayne and Suzy, for a small get together. Wayne told me a Vietnam friend was in town and wanted to meet some Texans and chat. We went to their home about sundown for a little beer and bar-b-que. Wayne's friend ... I'll call him Bob was there. He was very thin, pale faced and though friendly I sensed something amiss.
Anyway the night progressed and everyone had a good time. Wayne had a cherry 1957 Chevrolet two door sedan which I admired. Bob and I walked to the garage where it was housed. Bob and I were talking and somehow the talk turned to Vietnam. Bob related he was having trouble with the VA and in fact was in Texas to visit the VA hospital in Waco. I asked, and Lord knows I wished I hadn't, where he was wounded. He sat his beer down and opened the buttons on his shirt. It was all I could do to not gasp al
