so.. let's ask da question. Vic was old, worn out.. etc. etc. and da announcement came out.. it will be the loymeister.. and people said .. WTF.. now if Rupp.. or delisle.. or one of the names of other faithful ones were embraced on da lips of da (present) chosen one, it would.. make SENSE, wouldn't it? But.. There is no sense here..

Your bet has been entered..

does this happen to anyone else here? so.. sit back, relax.. come into my ... web.. says the spderish squirrel.. or is that.. the squirrelish spiderish devil.. to da fly.. or what is it.. In a sense, isn't that what we ALL came here for? well.. we all have to do what we have to do.. have to deal with campaigns of hate and all.. common theme..

I'd love to be the loyster's analyst.. "so, as a man, do you have any feelings in regard to this.." "to what?" "I mean.. consider, your wife chose another woman.. over you..." sorry. It's a dream that's been playing in my head for half the day..

I have two words, but I will wait a little while to see what anyone else has to say.. wouldn't surprise me if I heard the same words.. pretend you on your psychiatrist's couch.. "so whadda you think, bub.." I couldn't think of where else to put this.. "open" didn't seem quite right.. just plain silly.. naw..

So rosie and the donster has run off he who is waiting in da way wings. To a god forsaken suburb (or downtown) Toledo. to meet his maker? The one who leaped in tights? Who knows.. I'm betting on... Donna. Just a *tad* younger than da old presifart.. they could have a *graceful(?)* transition.. she could even write a book. "rosalie and me".. cmon word processing crowd.. get with it.. another three glasses of cabernet.. and I'll write the donster's acceptance speech..

generally, spell-checker is about the last thing I use.. close to the time I'm ready to print something to take a serious look at. Gets rid of the blatant mis-spells. Generally, unless one is a poor speller, its useless.. and spell checker hates technical writing. Dumb word will auto correct a constant that I purposely leave in lower case and put it in upper case.. there have been times I've put them all in upper case just so word will allow me to agree with myself.. tries to correct names of mathematicians who I cannot pronounce, but I know I've got the spelling correct.. sometimes one has to work around technology.. I used to type up stuff on DOS edit.. and I still would if the old Compaq lunchbox didn't die. much easier. What you type was what you got.. heh.. the problem here is rosie finding something worth impressing in stone..

there are other reasons why NOT to put a document in electronic form.. once digital, it is VERY EASY to do a search of sorts to check for plagiarism.. but even at that, it's easy to scan it into a (damned) COMPUTER and still check for plagiarism..

I usually put little marks on the paper as part of the process. Especially with an important or critical work.. its a process. "Write up" a draft, on the computer, make SEVERAL revisions before printing, make at least one print of the "close to the end" product, and mark it up with a pen. I can see the point here though.. there is a difference between thoughtful use of technology, and mindless use of technology.. and apparently rosie can't see the difference. It would seem though to me, that if "da best there is" on staff is da "best".. wouldn't they be trained in THOUGHTFUL use of technology? Or are all the best they can find can't compose to begin with, and end up running something that looks like a chimpanzee's attempt at a Steinbeck novel through a spell checker? that WOULD explain a lot of loy's nonsense..

And the little monster's ugly head raises at even PRACTICAL suggestions, i.e., what kind of training and qualifications do you and your staff have, how do you plan to prevent the same thing happening as in twi activities- abuse, loss of life and limb in some cases? Just pretend that gawd almighty is going to watch over your group like a nervous mother hen or something? How many know how to even administer first aid in a non-life threatening situation? and I get no reply to this.. they regard this kind of inquiry as PERSECUTION.. same as da way often did..

And what amazes me.. he still has a following.. drooling at every word.. Obviously not the following he once had.. they get on his "board".. drum up money and support, and somehow he's the ceo.. was he actually elected? Or did he get the position by default? maybe its just me.. but that kind of arrogance at this stage, would really p*ss me off.. if I was one, sending in money to try to resurrect da way it was.. I'd probably be a little "irritated"..

hmm.. only if the first knock was worth something.. sowey. you have me playing into the movie..

ha! what about real life? I've done that a few times.. we knock on the door.. and hopefully, they have summoned us from before.. cmon.. it's true, isn't it?

Hah! the mailman times a thousand.. heh.. so Waysider.. you end up here for some Gawd forsaken reason.. there are only cats to deal with, besides the amenable humans..

If you know the answers.. please don't give them to me. Spoilers and all.. Maybe I'm a pile of .... in a garden somewhere.. well.. whatever existence is..

I wish.. it were as easy for me.. sorry. I don't know what the hell I am.. I know what I DON'T like. does that count?

God Bless you.. congratulations.. I can't add much here..

sorry.. "heh".. don't be too afraid.. what do we do now.. I dunno..

I dunno.. I think it's because jim never WOULD.. does that make sense?

there is only one time I've been bit.. I didnt check with the animal in charge.. that's AIC. heh just had to bite, on a matter of principle..

Honest to God.. on a service call.. I'd (for the most part) ask the creatures of the domain.. permission to enter.. I know it sounds nuts..

Oh yes friend.. I understand completely.. I did that too for a while.. I'd make friends with the animals when I entered the abode, long before I'd make friends with the humans.. the humans were clueless.. easier to deal with.. :)

I dunno.. personally, I think it's elitism in the life beyond (before) that is the problem to begin with.. but what do I know.. I'm nuts to begin with..

the same dog from hell.. we had a *domesticated* rabbit. Sometimes allowed it to free range in the back yard.. it would hide in the neigbor's (dogs) wood pile. Forever tormenting this dog from hell.. the dog was leashed with a rope.. and thought it knew the rope line.. the rabbit was smarter than the dog..

I'll pray for Sam.. that someone comes along.. with hot dogs..
