  1. Every decade I think I've learned a new language. In the seventies, I learned wayspeak.. In the eighties.. well, maybe I hung around too long..

    The nineties, I learned ham speak.. ham radio terminology..

    and computer speak. I still speak it here, and most seem to not be able to understand it..

    then there is math speak. Basic and Intermediate students WILL learn it.. :evildenk:

    :biglaugh:

    I mean.. that is what they sign on the program to begin with, isn't it?

    :biglaugh:

  2. No, I've physically been at these locations..

    false memory.. I don't think so.

    the two previous dreams were pre-memories.

    There is only one left.

    It just hasn't happened yet..

    :biglaugh:

    All I know is: we are in a hexagonal building. The walls are windows which extend up about thirty feet. The people inside the glass walls are clothed in white..

  3. Well.. it was a weird dream a long time ago..

    maybe it doesn't mean anything at all..

    somehow, I was in it..

    It is the last weird dream that I haven't figured out what in the hell it means.. :biglaugh: All of the rest have revealed themselves..

    Everybody wears white in the dream..

  4. It has to be in Michigan, or does it?

    It is an already assembled geometric structure.

    The glass windows surrounding the facility are at least ten meters tall (about thirty feet), give or take a few meters.. maybe I'm exaggerating.

    If such a place was on Mackinac Island, it would at the least "blow my mind"

  5. I don't know if this is more a question, or an invitation to discussion.

    A neighbor gave me a slightly older computer, and IBM type with pentium 4 and Windows XP Pro (legally) installed (whoo hoo!) I was looking for a second system that would run more modern scanning software. And maybe Linux.

    It was ready for the landfill.. but apparently the previous owner tried to save it. What I found inside: a gig of memory, and 500 Gig SATA drive. The original was an IDE.. the cord for it was still intact (minus hard drive).

    And bad capacitors inside. I assume with the attempt to recover the machine, the owner found anomalies during the boot process, and "hiccups" at various inopportune times. So I broke out the soldering apparatus, and replaced the capacitors.

    The machine was then stable, after letting it run for several days.

    So for the dual boot idea: I didn't want to mess with the partitions on the SATA drive, so,

    I installed an 80 gig IDE drive, using the cable that was left in the machine, disabled the SATA drive in CMOS and then booted up with Ubuntu CD and installed it on the IDE drive.

    Now to boot from Linux or XP, all I have to do is disable the one drive in setup and enable the other one right after hitting the power button..

    and one system cannot "mess with" the other.

  6. Your boss wouldn't shuffle your meetings or schedules even if he knows that it would have a conflict on your previous appointments.

    Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/4057797

    I would only add.. if the conflict concerns one's personal safety, for one reason or another..

    Personal Care and Emotion is often beat out of those in immediate authority..

    as an observation it may be very subtle, or not so subtle.

    If one chooses to go back to school.. i.e. grad school. After a certain age, one finds oneself fending for oneself.

    How does this fit into the current discussion? No, its not bullying, at least officially.

  7. Next scientologist destination. A planet, where the inhabitants are trying to figure out how to digest rock, more efficiently. After some instruction and enlightenment, come the lichens, later the sponges..

    Then come the Lazy Thetans, who are intent upon making a living trading rocks and salt water..

    :biglaugh:

    anytime there is discovery.. the parasites follow closely behind..

    :biglaugh:

    Next lifetime.. maybe I'll take a can of Raid or some anti-fungal cream along..

    :biglaugh:

  8. "these kind" of "organizations" do this kind of thing all the time.. go to great lengths to accommodate a celebrity..

    fascinating. scientology seems to have more to offer to the likes of cruise and travolta than twi.

  9. Every once in a while I get a Linkedin update. This one included "people you may know".. the character has the same name, went to Bowling Green University, presently located in Colorado, and appears to be a financial manager(?) for DTC Energy Group. I looked them up. Search on their website, his name yields no results.

    A financial managerial job.. after what.. two years of incarceration on a financial felony conviction?

    Maybe its not the same guy..

  10. 1910 til 1960 was the last winter if you consider the years of the great depression. But WWII was the beginning of the spring.. things aren't very green in the first days of spring. Maybe next reincarnation I will set the clock seven or eight years early..

    :biglaugh:
