  1. Daryl,

    Thanks for sharing and feeling comfortable enough here to do so.

    Obviously, you have support here. I hope you also have close friends and support in your community.

    And I share the pain of losing a sibling and grieve with you on losing your sister. My brother died in 1992.

    And I also am a USAF veteran of the Vietnam Era.

    Peace, Dude.

  2. Glad you did well... wouldn't get the same sympathy outdoors here today... and you most certainly would be welcome here, even if not at the 7th corpse reonion.

  3. Well, it seems to me that a good, common sense practice is to NEVER respond to any pop-up, email advertisement, or anything else unsolicited.

    I figure that if a company has to resort to what amounts to clandestine manuvers, it can't be completely above board. I might be wrong, but I can't get taken if that's the approach I maintain.

  4. and peeeee on YOU, ourseesterEx! (just kiddin)

    Well, come on down to the desert. Me and Simon will try to be good hosts... right, Simon?

  5. not to aggrevate the urban sprawl in the metro Phoenix area, but my front door is open right now, and the temp is still in the mid-70s... High today around 77.

  6. Is this related to a discussion on sex?

    Man out to build nudist resort for Christians

    Associated Press

    Jan. 7, 2004 08:20 AM

    HUDSON, Fla. - Bill Martin figures the scriptures are enough to cover folks at a Christian nudist camp.

    He wants to transform about 240 acres in the Tampa Bay, Fla., area into a modern-day Garden of Eden.

    Plans for the Natura nudist resort include an open church, a giant water park for the kids and, of course, nude volleyball. Much of the property was once home to a nudist colony but is now in disrepair.

    Martin hopes to have the place cleaned up enough for a nude baptism ceremony in April. He promises there will be no drinking or fooling around among the Christian nudists.

  7. Not that I can claim to know where VeePee is right now, but I received this by email today and thought it might shed some insight:

    THERMODYNAMICS OF HELL

    The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term. The answer by one student was "so profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

    Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic(absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant.

    One student, however, wrote the following:

    First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

    As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

    With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

    This gives two possibilities:

    1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

    2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

    So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa Morrison, during my freshman year, "...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.

    The student received the only "A" given

  8. Well TomS, you know we love you man, so how about a Bud Light!

    And if we fellowship with the Saints in New Orleans, let's feast on some gumbo and etouffee and other seafood... maybe go to a taping of Emeril's cooking show... and maybe, we can schedule this for fat tuesday...

    And, of course, my thoughts and prayers for your mom and your family.

  9. well, obviously I was never subject to the primary abuses -- the sexual ones. but I saw enough abuse of authority and teaching that was bass-ackwards regarding accountability and "the way tree" to know finally realize that self-justifying leader worship false doctrine was the BLACK thread that wove through the entire organization. And I also recognized a culture of major sexual dysfunction and confusion associated therewith... so I didn't need to witness anyone's first hand rapes to believe them.

    The culture was ripe for tragedy. And tragedy is what too many got. One would have been too many.

    (Big John, Big John)

    Ev'ry mornin' at the mine you could see him arrive

    He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five

    Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip

    And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to

    Big John.

    (Big John, Big John)

    Big Bad John

    (Big John)

    Nobody seemed to know where John called home

    He just drifted into town and stayed all alone

    He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy

    And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to

    Big John.

    Somebody said he came from New Orleans

    Where he got in a fight over a Cajun Queen

    And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand

    Sent a Lousiana fellow to the Promised Land-

    Big John

    (Big John, Big John)

    Big Bad John

    (Big John)

    Then came the day at the bottom of the mine

    When a timber cracked and men started cryin'

    Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast

    And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-

    'cept John

    Through the dust and the smoke of this

    man-made Hell

    Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well

    Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan

    And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone-

    Big John

    (Big John, Big John)

    Big Bad John

    (Big John)

    And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove

    Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above!"

    And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave

    Now there's only one left down there to save-

    Big John

    With jacks and timbers they started back down

    Then came that rumble way down in the ground

    And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine

    Everybody knew it was the end of the line for

    Big John

    (Big John, Big John)

    Big Bad John

    (Big John)

    Now they never reopened that worthless pit

    They just placed a marble stand in front of it

    These few words are written on that stand:

    At the bottom of this pit lies one hell of a man,

    Big John

    (Big John, Big John)

    Big Bad John

    (Big John)

    (Big John, Big John)

    Big Bad John

    (Big John)
