{finally being tweaked and here published} Introduction I never considered myself a Tai Chi master. The two main reasons for this is that first, I am not a master in that art, and secondly, that I am honest about it. I am and always have been a scholar — a student of the arts who [...]
I got the following email from someone: An unemployed man is desperate to support his family of a wife and threekids. He applies for a janitor’s job at a large firm and easily passes anaptitude test. The human resources manager tells him, “You will be hired at minimum wageof $5.35 an hour. Let me have [...]
From an email I received … Christianity in America will not survive another decade. How is that possible? At the current rate of evangelism, it is estimated that only 4% of this generation of teenagers will be Bible-believing Christians by the time they reach adulthood.34% of adults today are Evangelical believers. Imagine an America at [...]
Sometimes I get ones worth re-telling. But I rarely flood my friend’s boxes with them by “passing them on” …
After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document ..their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of [...]
This had been weighing on me even now that it’s over. A couple of you know the situation, some don’t. But I am always about setting the record straight. Or at least trying to. Some people who know me feel that I handled leaving my teaching situation badly. I think they are right. I purposely [...]
Source: Joke-Of-The-Day John Locke: Because he was exercising his natural right to liberty. Machiavelli: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The ends of crossing the road justify whatever motive there was. Timothy Leary: Because that’s the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take. The Bible: And [...]
Today I constructed my first lightsaber. I am currently helping instruct at the local Jedi Academy (www.TheNorthRidge.com). At first I was brought in to assist with choreography, and using Tai Chi to make their movements more natural and graceful. Anyway, no one seems to have a decent practice saber and there are too few of [...]
{posted on Hobowars.Com gang forum} This was an actual letter sent to the IRS after the author was denied tax deductions on two of his children. Dear Sirs: I am responding to your letter denying the deduction for two of the three dependents I claimed on my 1994 Federal Tax return. Thank you. I have [...]
It started sometime earlier this year. I was contemplating why my martial art techniques didn't work in my dreams. I always fell prey to the assumption it was just part of the dream – something to be interpreted. It was a recurring “theme” – trying to hit someone and having no impact, or manipulating someone's [...]
Dearest Citizen of the World, I believe the time has come to reveal to you some of the perplexities you have faced in recent decades. It is well for you to understand some of these things so that you might know how to behave in the New Order now taking shape on the earth. We [...]
peeps, waves, skedadles back to more comfortalbe environs….also wonders why the smileys are yellow… runs away! runs away!
These forums will be completely reworked soon to be more integrated with Kenville and my LiveJournal, and most “journal” entries and other content will be posted here. New areas will include rants, poems, treatisses, essays, sermons, photography, whatever.
Which movie is the most “must-see”? I grew up on Star Wars. It was my religion as a child. But Lucas's New Testemant (I-III) I can leave behind. Matrix is awesome and curiosity is killing me on how it concludes. But Lord of the Rings … Maybe I'm just in a D&D mood, but I [...]
Just wondering, as my husband says. Why are people afraid an asteroid or comet or anything else will mean the end of the world? Things would change a lot, but even a war everywhere on the planet with the worst weapons would not mean a stone age unless they were used everywhere and not just [...]
Anyone… I am looking for a good site that will help with a wiring solution I will need shortly. I have done the normal GOOGLE searches for the particular problem, but I am not getting the results I want. I am trying to install two ceiling fans in my kids rooms. :angry: I understand what [...]
Guenneth's Home Page The site is old, but she's back in “town” if anyone has any questions … (post a reply in this thread)
Why would I have a forum devoted to “ME”????? It does seem weird, but I added it in just incase friends and relatives or anyone else wanted to converse by this medium. I'll also address any interesting questions about myself and attempt to give equally interesting answers. I have a lot going on in my [...]
