Ham

Could it be possible that "cause and effect" does not ALWAYS apply? From personal experience- some of the very best things in my life occured without planning, obedience, or believing. I can also attest to the same for the worst.

Well, I'm not trying to win a Pulitzer prize here, but OK :o--> But you must admit it does partly make a point. With cause and effect and all, why DO the mindless at times seem to stumble on success? In my opinion, TWI thought did not explain that very satisfactorily, at least as much as why bad things happen to those who are apparently "believing".

Don't know if this is actually the same thing, but I had an older HP printer that developed this habit, and it would do it in the middle of a print job, usually. It printed garbage on the top line of the paper. Usually it worked over half a dozen sheets or so before I could unplug the darn thing. The new printer has never done this. You could have a problem with the printer itself.

What I'm waiting for is to see if they change their tune when Godzilla comes to eat their hometown, Norfolk Va., after he's done with Tokyo.

I think what may have gotten me on this is, the last couple of days, I had several incidents like "Mr. *******, would you like that for here, or to go.." Honestly, I don't feel that old, heh heh.

"Hammie" would work OK too.

But I feel like the crowd here is a group of close friends. Don't need the formalities that "Mr." might imply.

Absolutely. Now let me find where I put that green dye..

"Everything is the effect of a prior cause, except where spirit intervenes." Could explain how a buffon could get elected as President.. sorry, heh heh.

Ham is OK, Mr. H. is OK- just "Mr. Hammeroni" is too much to expect anybody to type..

Mr. H would be fine too, Belle. I just don't want to come off as some official Mr. type, heh heh. Yes, I do morse code almost exclusively on radio- don't like microphones. I saw that clip- it was on the Jay Leno show, the two old morse code guys beat the snot out of the two newcoming instant text messenger young whippersnappers, heh heh. The young guys held the fastest record in the world for sending/receiving a text message. As a side note, the morse code dudes were not sending as fast as they could either. Just at a nice, comfortable speed. Probably didn't want to look TOO good, then people would be suspicious.

Yep Belle, it was a tough job, but someone just HAD to do it.. good grief, like ole Loy was just a casualty of war or something. The Fox and Donna had groomed themselves for a LONG time for this promotion.

Sorry, couldn't help it, heh heh.

"How do we make water?" "Well, lessee.. is it, we OBEY?"

Interesting that they are going back to school.. Plus I wonder what the qualifications are for region guys anymore. I know one that would fail a sixth grade science test..

Doesn't even need brown colored glasses.

Yep. Three or more helpings of shinola a day can have a real effect on some people.. I think a nice term would be "tainted". He's ingested so much of it, even his eyes must be brown by now.. Nothing like looking at a brown-colored world.

Trefor, I think most of us were dazzled- VP if not anything else, was a good salesman. My impression is that he convinced us that he was convinced. Whether he really was, may be another story altogether..

Just a little note, you may comment if you wish. Just call me Ham- I chose the "Mr." to distinguish my identity as being male. Besides, with the old almost Joe Walsh avatar, I thought I needed to. Even then, some of you had doubts, heh heh.

One of the problems is that the deniers claims are supposedly established using a methodology that has a VERY thin veneer of science. "we stole the bricks.. we did the tests.. there was NO cyanide present" To the uneducated, and unfortunately, some educated people, it can look convincing. Until closer examination of the evidence. One jackasses "scientific" analysis was performed on fifty year old bricks- that were subjected to decades of eastern europe acid rain. Somehow, he was shocked to NOT find cyanide. The guy that did the lab work did have a bachelors degree, in English.

Makes me wonder though.. did ole Harve voluntarily step down, or did the other two vote him off?

Throw salt in the guy's wounds Not worth his salt

George, I was not trying to put words in anybody's mouth here, especially you! Just an observation. But that would be a unique solution to "who's fault is it?" some people couldn't blame God anymore..

Must've been back in the good old days when they had somebody in "reflections" that could really do some wonders, heh heh. But consider THIS: She looks over sixty-five, and this photo is probably over ten years old.

Just a little thought- to me, "there is no God" is as absolute of a statement as "believing is a law".
