hello, I saw that you answered to a post involving science, you couldn’t by any chance help me with my post could you?please? it’s on this page if you dont mind having a look at it..
http://help.com/post/268110-right-im-…

Thank you Sir. You are a world of wisdom. I really am trying to be gentle with him. Its feels as though I am chasing a butterfly, I don’t wish to scare him off or crush his wings.

Yes its me.XXx. hehe. What brings you here today sir?
Kids, adults and dogs all love the snow.
My dog tried snorting it..I wonder if she got an ice headache.
My son has squirreled his computer away to his room.
I’m actually on my friends PC. He took pity on me.lol.

Hello priscus. I haven’t spoken to you in ages. Sorry sir. Hope you are finding 2009 pleasing. Its been magical here with the snow. Cora built her first snowman. It was a woman really. She gave it hair, but no boobies.
I do hope your optimism is rising like the sap in the trees.
Take care. Simone.X

Caught you just before bedtime.

I can’t get to grips with the time difference either. I haven’t misplaced your other contact. Its just that I need about two hours to compose an e-mail. Time which I do not have enough of. So sorry that my contact is sporadic, but you are in my thoughts often. I trust you were not alone on Christmas day and spent the time with one or more of your “long suffering friends”
I hope you ate lots of meat and potatoes..No gravy hehe.
I find this to be the fastest way of my talking with you.
Sometimes I find it hard to concentrate. This medium suits me sometimes.
I will raise a glass to you my new friend as I sing old langs eien. Sorry for the miss spell, but hey ho who’s perfect!
Cora thinks Father Christmas or Santa as shes chosen to call him is a nice picture lol.Xx

Evening…Your average friend here. Xxx

Damn straight. I’ll know I’m sorted when I don’t need other peoples agreement of the obvious to be ok with it. It’s good to get it in your words, and your solid reasons behind it.
thanks for help, this post is really helping me round a corner.

BONJOUR PK…my personal ‘rat zoo’ was quite hectic this morning and then my day started at the courthouse, so just getting to correspondence…I saw messages and look forward to reading them when I have a moment to intake air at regular intervals…

A sip of coffee and a smile…talk to you later.

Jade

>friends vs hostages - yes I got it….talk to you soon! :)

Just to clear something up. You didn’t make me feel rejected. That was my attempt at being a little bit fey and a little bit fie.
Will write later.

I have just shouted mas. I woke up properly and re-read the e-mail. I will write to you later today.

Hello Prisca. I have been missing for a few days sorry. I am o.k. I suppose with your rejection of me. Sorry can’t keep that up. Its perfectly fine lovely. mas1st forwarded an e-mail you sent to her. There really is nothing to feel strange about. I just want to ask you about this playing a monster statement you have mentioned it before, but I don’t want to question you on these shouts. You are an extremely private person and I just wished to be discreet.
I will not contact you on the address attached to the forwarded e-mail I will only talk to you through here is that still o.k. with you?

are you here…

ok…I am daring…I will try it

I am trying to figure that one out right now….

LOL…I am grinning like a kid again….love the time travel!!!! POP! off to try the other!!!

it’s the simple things that usually bring the most joy as evidenced by cyper bubble wrap!

HI…are you still here?

Hmmmm…now you have really engaged my curiosity….meow!

Mas was on early but I am sure she was very busy mod’ing and all.

And I thought I was talking to my first ever ET, not disappointed though!

Off to play with the links you just provided!

Well good evening PK!!! Self shouts…frustrating isn’t it. You would think that there would be some (pardon the term) wise ass pop up that says: “hey buddy, you really need help, shouting to yourself like that, do you honestly expect a response!?”)

Oh nutmeg and cinnamon are but two of the ingredients…but… Way down here…curiosity strikes as to location and time difference but alas, I shall not inquire such personal information in deference to your privacy here on Help.

Bubblewrap…pop! oh the days of being young and stomping and laughing fully and completely.

Computers and for that matter TV is centrally located in my home but for reasons that are slightly different than most, I believe that once home, the family should enjoy time together, no need to be in separate rooms and unable to converse whilst engaged in other activites. I monitor my kids use of the computer on a regular basis not as a trust issue but sometimes there is a lack of awareness as to what is safe and after all mistakes happen.

Nothing from Mas1st yet as to the other option to communicate/wax poetic. I will make sure that my email is open to her if needed as she is on my friends list.

foibles…ah, none that I have seen, but ASSUMING you are human, than you shall be prone to them. foibles are fodder for frolicky laughter…enjoy life.

Jade

Stealing that excuse wholesale… LOL

It is a knee jerk reaction to “cure” people who are different to our trained normal, but the older I get, the more I see that there are many paths up the mountain, that an the normal I was given was ******. If its working out, then hurrah. Thanks for explaining.

Haha, understood.

I guess I just wanted to know how big the group had to be before you didn’t fit in.

For me, 1, 2, 4-6, 100+ are good, inbetween no so good.

Good morning to you, mistress of the bubbling apple butter cauldron. I can almost smell the nutmeg (cinnamon?) way down here.
Fear not the initial confusion over choices in protective bubblewrap for your PC. Most security apps are now pretty much on auto-pilot for the express benefit of newbies. Your learning curve should be oriented toward identifying and avoiding fraudulent offers for said bubblewrap. (trust me, you’ll be much better at this than your kids, which is why I maintain that no kid should touch the parent’s PC) OTOH, IMHO kids shouldn’t be allowed their own PC unless it’s placed in a public/family area and has certain features enabled to ensure safe/wise surfing. None of this “I vant to be alone” stuff. (easy for me to say, I don’t have any rugrats)
Don’t fret misspellings! I’d have never known had you not told me… someday I might even admit to my foibles. (I got plenty)
Now, get back to work! :)
PK (Practically Komatose)

GSDA - Your own creation?

Also, I can photoshop you driving the porcelain bus if you want?

If your feeling generous, what’s the deal with not liking groups? Do you enjoy one on one conversations with people face to face?

I often get bored in groups because it descends to the lowest common denominator, but other times a group of four or so can bounce off each other and get a lot done, and just personally, I get a buzz from being in a sea of people at concerts.

So I guess my question is, whats the reasons behind? More a fear or unmotivated thing?

Hello PK!!! Good Morning!

I must keep this short..I am work and have much to do.

I shall await Mas1st message and I am honored that you have considered a viable option.
I will explore the links further from home.
I live in a very rural area and the plumber was a friend of a friend (we all belong to the same R & G club).

Yes, I do both and I make the best apple butter known to man (or so I am told). I must admit it is better than most I have tried. It is time consuming but for those who find relaxation in cooking, it is a well loved endeavor.

I was not aware of the stigma of La La Land…I most certainly do not reside in LA nor do I experience delusional or psychotic episodes. (but I was alive in the 70’s….LOL). Land of Nod…ah well, I tried to get there but once again sleep is the enemy for the nightmares shall not rest. Perhaps someday they will be conquered, but in many ways, I owe them who I am today. (perhaps looking for the silver lining…)

As to the rest…well you have me quite turned about and confused, I know of firewalls, zip files but nothing else. My children have their computer and I have mine.

I am afflicted with dsylexia (so I don’t always catch some of the misspellings…please excuse despite my best proofing efforts). I am a fan of spell check for it catches that which I miss.

Have a wonderful day!

hmmm…I was going to send you an invite for friends, but it seems you are ‘friendless’ here by choice. It is a way to open up email to someone without having to publish your email address for all to see.

Off to la la land…

Good Evening PK (at least on my end of the world…LOL). ahhh…where to begin. I am interested in links to the WWT thread as I would like to share with my daughter (I already told her about it’s existence and she is quite interested. She is distinguished honors student and is the epitome of a human sponge when it comes to knowledge.) It’s my job to soak as much as I can into her whilst I can.

My step dad has the wisdom earned of hard living and a generous soul.

The plumber left the bill with Merry Christmas written on it and no balance to be paid. (I am not an emotional person, but tears of gratitude welled up I can’t deny). He is a friend of a friend, he will receive fresh baked bread and homemade apple butter this weekend (I am a bit old fashioned that way.) I have those hose clamps and rubber sleeves handy, but this pipe was up in the wall (not that handy!)and I learned by trial and error where the main shut off valve resides.

A computer newbie you bet…I have both IE and Firefox. I always fear downloads, how does one know what is safe anymore?

Photo - thanks, it is me and that’s my pup -self taken with a cell phone so quality is poor.

chinese character person - that’s Brian or AKS as he is also known by. The chinese symbols stand for Brian. He is really quite an amazing person. He is one of the people who helped me very much during my divorce aftermath for which I will always hold a special place for him in my heart.

Humanizing influence- why thank you!

Prior posts cathartic? Absolutely, much of what I aired here was never discussed before and I found it very cleansing to bare my soul. Going to therapy was not beneficial, I am too much a critic of how can a person help without some experience of a hard life/emotional pain. Here, whilst still fairly anon, I was able to bare my soul to people who more or less understood, or suffered even more. That sharing and caring was worth it all. Oh, I still have some of the issues that crop up from time to time, nightmares and agoraphobia but for the most part I have grown from the experience and that so to speak achieved the goal.

I would be very interested to know which one touched close to home. I will never pry but always willing to listen and converse on any topic.

PK - so far it’s all been very good and enjoyable.

Hope you are well!

Oh btw, I meant to share with you, my step dad (83) has a favorite line…advice is only worth what you are willing to pay for it… took me years to absorb exactly what he meant.

Ok I will call you “PK” (pristine knowledge is the translation and PS is too confusing with post script…)

A good cook, never calls anyone late to dinner! She wants her food savored and enjoyed whilst hot!

I have not checked out the links, I am actually working from home as I had a pipe burst in my basement at 3am this morning, so I had quite the clean up on my hands and now I await the plumber’s arrival.

Hmmm…yes I imagine the if images were available from the WWT it wouldn’t exactly be entertaining, but curiosity does thrive within the mind.

I will have to explore those sites later on. I am still tenative on the computer my skills are at best very limited and fear prevents me from downloading from unknown sites.

Oh yes, if you can’t tell yet, I encourage my rats to learn as much about the world around them as I can so why not extend it to the universe, limits are for the drones! Just hold the spam, never liked it before computers (it really is not meat) and well, I prefer bacon.

Pleasant dreams!

by the way, and pardon my ignorance, is there a way to actually view ‘real time’ images from the WWT on line???? I would love to share that with my kids.

Not to worry (can I call you PS…your name is just way too long, LOL)

I watch very few movies but that one was recommended to me as one to own, and I do, I see much of them in myself as well.

50’s…my you are old!!! just kidding, and remember it’s not the cakes that trigger the smoke alarms, its the candles and howlong it takes those aged lungs to muster enough breath to huff, puff and snuff!

I really enjoy that quarks post, the poster is a friend and he is one for fact before making a decision.

I did think that the video was quite impressive it does not contain all the answers, but the technology behind such a device is mind blowing. Imagine taking all the images from a number of optical devices and combining them into one picture, but it would seem that that one picture is still limited to the highest quality of the available resources, no?

I love the reply from one person that the universe is a sphere, this is exactly what I believe the poster is trying to feter out(?) but I can’t personally speak for him. People make blanket statements as fact when in truth they don’t have a damn clue as to what they are saying. This guy/gal it seemed to me anyway, was confusing the earth’s atmostphere with the universe, quite the difference.

I believe I once read that some scientists believe the universe exists in layers or perhaps dimensions. But then how to prove such a theory? Perhaps it explains deja vu, and that we are mirror images of ourselves light years away and somehow there is a connection to our other dimensional selves which causes those experiences.

all in all it is quite interesting to discuss even if the answers elude.

Be Well,
Jade

some might think that I would take offense to that (your a gurl) comment, but I don’t. There are definite differences in the physical abilities of the male and female genders. I have no upper body strength so to pull a recurve for a significant amount of time would be very taxing on this poor wussy!

Scaring off salesman heh? You sound like one of the characters from Second Hand Lions. Sittin’ there on your front porch shot gun across your lap waiting patiently for the next unsuspecting target to come along.

Age has nothing to do with anything, I am proud to say I am 41 and feel and look a heck of a lot younger. Age is a number that’s all. Health and attitude (especially when Health fails)is more important in determining ‘real age’.

(ha…damn nearly shouted myself - thank goodness for cut and paste!)

Aw, it’s okay for you to use the wussy feature… you’re a gurl. :D But, you sure don’t sound like a drone, and teaching your daughter any sort of live-off-the grid independence skills (hunting, gardening, cooking, etc) is a wise thing.
Me, I’m too old and addicted to tv to totally abstain, but I’ve pared usage way down and am a crack shot with the mute button.
As for crossbows, wouldn’t use one to hunt. Far too inaccurate. Works fine to scare off encyclopedia and vacuum salesmen, though.

Oh dear…I happen to shoot with a compound bow, so I guess then I am a wussy? LOL. My daughter who is 12 and I go target shooting regularly. And death to many a CLAY bird makes getting the real ones a bit easier. A hunter generally does know how to approach quietly and hit their mark (or SNEAK, as you say.) A crossbow? Never tried it, here in CT the only ones who are permitted to hunt with a Cross bow are handicap hunters.

Me? A mindless drone, most definitely not!

Not only do my interests and hobbies reflect me as one who prefers a well rounded life, but to further illustrate, I seldom view the tv (less than 20 hours in 2008), and I used to limit my children’s viewing time. Now, TV is their last choice on a regular basis.

As for the BT - he remains the same and it’s affect on my daughter is showing, she wants very little to do with him anymore. Without going into much detail, I had a horrible relationship with my own father and I try with all my might to encourage a strong bond with both children and their father (regardless of my opinions of the self centered bastard). I would love them to have what was robbed from me, but that is not my doing, it is strictly within his control and I will always do my best to foster such a bond. I am much like your friend and I am not capable of revenge for it is not honorable. I will not be a doormat but to act with poor judgment or questionable intent will serve no purpose.

Be well!

Yes, well ‘interesting’ mixed with a splash of intrigue (there…better?). Anyway, I won’t vote you off the Help Island yet! LOL.

Predictor of the unexpected in this 4 dimensional chess game, maybe one day you will find yourself ‘checked’ by someone you never expected? (notice I didn’t go for the ultimate checkmate status, somehow you seem to be a bit of a challenge.)

PS what you refer to as pawns, I deem as ants or wasps. I refuse to be a drone and I will no be cloned either.

Happy Holidays to you as well,

Jade

To open e-mail address here one must first go to account admin at the top of the page. When the bar list appears click on friends. You will see my avatar on your fans list. Add me and I become a friend then tick me off and you will asked whether you are sure you wish to show me your e-mail. Then when I visit your profile page it will tell me that you have given me permission to e-mail. Only I will be able to see your address. Once you have added me as your friend I will be able to reveal mine to you.
As for writing too often I am as sporadic as you when it comes to keeping in contact so as long as you are not expecting instant replies then neither am I.

Hello…I find your writings quite… interesting,I guess is the word I am looking for.

Have a good day.

(love Johnny but the way…but can you see the future like the Great Carnack?(sp?))LOL

Hello, oh person of undisclosed sex. I have been all over the shop this week. The amount of times that I have logged on and then completely walked away from the computer I have lost count. Yes I got your shout thank you. Sorry to have left you waiting for a reply.
Have you figured out those sayings that I wrote you yet?
Sometimes I get lost in your writings, I have a good grasp of the English language but you seem to of grabbed it by the throat and shook all the big words out.hehe.
Do you ever e-mail people? or is that too much at the moment? If so would you like to confound me more often. I will open my e-mail to you if you would like.

Have I offended in any way?

Heres some real brit slang.
A- up me duck.
Mash us a cuppa.
Gis a croggie.
Do you know you shouted yourself.

Oh, heck, here I thought you were going to introduce me to some real brit slang, i.e., “dross means your mother carries fish & chips in her pocketbook” (you’d think I’d have learned more from watching shows like Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers, As Time Goes By, Keeping Up Appearances and Monty Python)
My waking day is nearly done,
Won’t be any more one-on-one;
If discourse is what you seek,
Your book club awaits, go take a peek.

I’m glad you’re happy to still speak one on one. I find you fun to talk with.
I don’t think you are floating scum at all. You shine far more than dross. {=0)

*means

Dross in slang mean worthless.
As in “This information is complete dross” lol.
Where are you from?

I sit here with a massive smile on my face. As I sent it to you as a joke. I ment dross in the slang term and not the literal. I knew you wouldn’t relate. Sorry for tricking you. As for not entering into conversations what do you concider what we are doing?

http://help.com/post/174062-ive-got-a…
If its dross you can relate to then cop this.
I haven’t the heart to close it.

Then good morning when you wake up. I hope to never be so crass as to say something so predictable. I am certainly not saying that I in anyway at all is refined though.

You really do make me smile. Good morning.

Just feel free to read the book and then watch whats being said. Everybody has voyeristic tendencies. I am sure you are not an exception to the rule.{;0)
