Wowser.. couln't have said it better myself.. And so often appearance was the deciding factor in the old "ministry", only to be confirmed by "genuine spiritual suspicion". What a wretched way to live.. and think.

You might be right Bro..

loy? Back? Can't be. I already won the stinking (silly) election. What do they need HIM for? I can run the place in the ground in half the time.. and the poor innies would have some real fun in the process.. :D

Well.. now that you ask.. To be a woman for a day.. I'll admit, I always wondered. What they think, what THEIR hormones do to them.. what motivates them to clean, pluck, wax, color hair.. What DRIVES some of them to lose that last pound and a half.. what motivates some of them to wear the MOST uncomfortable shoes designed by the mind of man.. to know what they really are thinking when they giggle.. and cry.. to figure out what REALLY p*sses them off.. and what doesn't Well, if I knew all that.. life would be sooooo boring, I suppose..

Allan, I am really glad you have a sense of humor, brother..

A lot of this reminds me of Nazi Germany.. didn't agree with Hitler? Well, you were free to "leave".. sure. I don't think many made it out in one piece though.. Oh yes. When I left, it wasn't exactly in one piece either.. mentally at least.. Same can be said for a lot of folks around here..

You two that voted "what am edit".. well, you know who you are.. :D

Well.. I did not post there.. but I emailed the guy just to see if I could get an honest dialog with one of those guys without any politics or such involved.. Still waiting.. no reply. Whadya think, should I hold my breath? :P

Well, one things for certain. When the Lord Jesus Christ returns, he's not gonna be staggering, carrying a bottle of Drambuie, and waving a PFAL book..

Well.. if what they say about karma and reincarnation is indeed true.. Allan, I wonder if you'll come back as a woman. Hmmm.. a man, trapped in a woman's body..

Satori, from some of the things you have posted, I am more than glad you could not change them, ever.. It's kind of "Satori in the raw".. a live performance.. the subtle (and not so subtle) nuances really show your character.. and I like it. Probably shows mine, too.. now what kind of character, others may feel free to judge.. :D As far as editing priviledges for me personally, I could care less.. twenty minutes, or even ten are enough for me to correct glaring errors, punctuation or spelling "boo boos".. Maybe my opinion is a leftover from the old days when I had to type up papers on an old Smith Corona.. It was a heck of a lot easier to get it right the first time..

Interesting that they can mouth it- why then can't they grow up and friggin act like it?? ptooie. I wonder why they don't phrase this as a question anymore. "wasn't that tremendous, folks?" "Well, I guess so..." A shout comes from the crowd: "compared to WHAT???"

Well.. death is.. change. Big change perhaps. Some of the changes in my life I have described as "death", in one way or another.. Interesting though.. Not that I subscribe to it.. or would go for it.. but I think the Tarot "death" card does not exactly signify death, in their belief, but change.. big change. I know, I know, that's not the bible! :D

Be careful lighting those farts! Yep. Something about the smell of burning hair.. hard to describe..

Well.. its almost October! I wonder how many innies are actually "gushing over" with excitement.. anxiously waiting for the "good news" Belle, I've been thinking a little more about this.. Perhaps..the big announcement.. 1. They are installing four new bathrooms in the auditorium (?? for who?? They already have THREE too many..) 2. They are fortwith moving SNS back to the BRC. That way, things can be nice and comfy, and they MIGHT be able to fill the room.. 3. Some specially selected vey Disciples will be given assignments to develop in training, and leadership skills, at rosies home. They will learn valuble life-lessons by cleaning, gardening, painting, and changing the cat's litterboxes. AND they'll be thankful.

Really though.. how HARD it is to get started again halfway, or just a little beyond, in life.. Just try to develop good friendships at forty, or forty five.. or fifty.. and MANY of you will. Try to develop a carrer at forty.. or forty five.. You WILL find its really tough "out there", but not because they say so- and not because people are malicious, or devilish.. but because you waited too d*mn long..

Belle, if you see this.. please check your "PT"s this morning..

Yep, Belle, I remember that song! Well, if it happened in the auditorium, I think it'd be the same, but nobody would even dare to jump the chairs and shout "HALLELUJAH!" They'd just have to suffer, silently.. Might give them a new idea of what to name the new class: "The Living Word in the Promised land of prevailing Squirrels.."

No credit.. seems to have always made things a little "easier" for them..

Hey, nice picture, Raf..

Aww, drats.. now I have to split the million bucks.. :D Amazing how complex such a little thing can be.. Angular momentum doesn't exactly mess stuff up.. just makes it quite a bit more complex.

No, the acceleration due to gravity is STILL 9.8 meters per second.. air or not. The other opposite force of course is acting on the ball.. due to friction. Two forces. Net acceleration.. of course.. would NOT be 9.8.. OK, you wonderful rascal.. I see you lurking there, laughing at us.. Who gets the million bucks?? Drat.. scared her off.. Now you're back again.. Belle, did anybody ever tell you that you have some of the characteristics of a Cheshire cat? :D

True, but I am assuming 1. neglibible 2. Not the part of Belle's initial conditions for this nightmare. It is a frictionless system, unless I made a boo boo..

Kinda of vague.. and it assumes a lot.. which "return" does he await, indeed..

Well, I would think.. NO friction, the ball will NOT rotate. As the ball moves down the incline, there is a "normal" force exerted on the ball.. equal to mgCos(theta). But with a coefficient of friction being zero.. none of this force would be transferred into the ball.. and since the ball has rotational inertia.. without an external force applied, it will tend to stay in its non-rotating condition. But add friction.. things are entirely different. Could figure out if the ball actually slides on the incline.. or slips, if you will. Add the SLIGHTEST amount of friction, and it will rotate. Now Belle dear, we wait! And yes Regis, that is my final answer! (for now..)
