I want to own one. The kind where all the customers are cool and not alcoholics.
Hey, I'm the target of a "missed connection" on craigslist. And not from a dude!
Sssssssssss... (me, licking my finger and touching my rear)

Way to go 2long !!
You must feel hot too.
And I almost always feel hot, but then, I live in the desert.
Kimmy,
I am such a fool sometimes. I should have taken half the brownies, and put them in a bag in my desk. Sometimes I get in these serious moods -
I know you don't believe it, but I do.
Gray,
For a smart guy, you are such a dunce sometimes.
I once though I was the only one, but nooooooo.
Faithful, you don't have to report, I'll pray for you just the same.
Hi J,
You may not get to relax much now, but your turn will come.
Hi Weaver - wink.
SS
I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.

Yeah, what's craigslist?
2, are we channeling or something? We posted almost the same thing at the almost the same time on that other thread. Get out of my frontal lobes! There’s not enough room for me in there as it is.
Kimmy - you've convinced me to remain a bar patron and and never a bar owner.
Weaver is watching us. I can feel it.
FF, hi. You always get prayers from me.
Oh, GC, since it's your campsite I suppose I ought to say hey. You know, I could introduce you to my younger sister. She's a recent PHD though and she doesn’t take any crap from anyone. I think she will be in your neck of the woods off and on for business (Mayo Clinic) this summer.

2, did you respond to your W appropriately to the telething overture?
I hope you didn’t just grunt something in return like I tend to do when FWW does something like that. I can be so taken off guard I get tongue-tied. It’s a geek thing, I believe.

SS, Appy:
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty cool... ...I mean, hot!
My W is still unaware that she's sometimes pretty selfish, but it's been fun of late watching her slowly really coming back 2 life after all these years.
Did I mention that, a few weeks ago, she just thanked me out of the blue for buying her the antique bookcases for her office for an anniversary present in Dec, rather than having a reckoning of our M at the 30-yr mark like she'd suggested 4 years ago? She said "it's so comfortable in there now. I can get a lot more done now that I've got someplace quiet that I can organize my stuff in."
Last 2ple nights, she hasn't gotten up during the night 2 go sleep in the spare room. Well, she may have gotten up, but she came back if she did.
She's also generally funner 2 be around lately.
Who knows? Maybe we'll even stay M'd.

Appy: Oh, I responded positively! I'd love 2 have her along, even if it's only for a day (the raffles Sa2rday night are pretty awesome, though, and if she's there, it 2bles my odds! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I mean, it gives her a chance 2 win, 2! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />). -ol' 2long

Appy - to answer your question on my Smidge thread...
According to the geological soil report here at work, the property we're looking at has Houston black clay with 1-3% slopes and pecan gap chalk. Cretaceous fossils are very common. While generally not cavernous, there is a greater than expected density of caves and passages in this area.
So yep. Bat caves are a possibility.
We also could have an in groud pool without having to blast it out (much to the Wookie's dissapointment).

I do not know how you did it - but you just caused a complete song that I have not even pondered for over 20 years to just totally pop into my head!!! (did you hear it)
Something about drinking colorado Kool-Aid, and talking to some mexicans.....
WOW!!!!
I thought my memory was already starting to slip away from me. (and I turn 39 on thursday....)

I found the place in which I'm currently living on Craigslist. We had to pull over for horses to walk by when I brought the family to see it last year.
Coolest place I have ever lived. (Of course - I lived in Texas for 37 years. HELLL is a cooler place to live. Meteorologically speaking, that is. Big D is one of my favorite places to be.... anybody ever go to John L's in the early 90s?? Gay bars can be fun, if you take your wife. Great live music....)
Hey! I'm rambling......

2long, that is incredible news about the positive developments in your marriage. Lets hope that it begins to snowball, as I am sure it will. As for everyone else: STOP talking to me, you are just trying to lure me back here LOL, and I have areas of my life that are in serious neglect...so I WILL get out of here, somehow. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> This week I have been trying to verbalize what I have come away with, from my time on MB...this leg of my journey so to speak, and I can't seem to find the words to articulate what this particular group of people at the campfire has meant to me. You all have opened up parts of my mind and heart to new ideas, to new ways of thinking, being and given me courage to be who I am/could/should be. Anyway this was what came out...thank you, for what I have learned from all of you. "Finding my way home" I came here to heal From wounds self-inflicted On myself and on others My parents, my friends And in the hearts of the strangers, I met on the Net. I came here to heal From wounds self-inflicted And didn’t know how, But somebody told me That band-aids and stitches Would leave scars, not pretty And I knew deep down, this wasn't the way I came here to heal From wounds, self-inflicted And all it took was a change in perception These wounds, self-inflicted Never existed They were illusions I created To keep me from peace These wounds, self-inflicted Were not wounds after all They were road maps Laced with angels, And friends I would meet Leading me home To the place we call peace ~~Weaver

Wow. Weaver, that was fantastic! Soooo.....GC. Can you put that to music? Can you make it a Top 40 hit that everyone will be humming under their breath for the next fifteen months? SS, thanks for the ETA explanation. I owe you mail. I'll get to it one of these minutes. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Kimmy, you're right, I don't want to own a bar. I want the kind of community I want to believe is available in bars and cafes and coffeehouses and bookstores. The kind that's available here on the campfire and which I seem genetically incapable of finding in the "real" world. Maybe it has to do with who we are on the Web, as opposed to who we are in person. I suspect we are all much "better" here than in person. Well, except HoFS, who is much tastier in person. And smells good, too.

Weaver!
Loved your poem. Gc's gonna have 2 put that 2 2nes!
I'm not that good at poetry, so I quote a lot. Like this one about peace:
"Peace - A Beginning" -King Crimson
"I am the ocean
Lit by the flame
I am the mountain
Peace is my name
I am the river
Touched by the wind
I am the story
I never end."
and this one
"Peace, an End" -King Crimson
"Peace is a word
Of the sea and the wind.
Peace is a bird who sings
As you smile.
Peace is the love
Of a foe as a friend;
Peace is the love you bring
To a child
Searching for me
You look everywhere,
Except beside you.
Searching for you
You look everywhere,
But not inside you.
Peace is a stream
From the heart of a man;
Peace is a man, whose breadth
Is the dawn.
Peace is a dawn
On a day without end;
Peace is the end, like death
Of the war."

I love this quote I just read from "Amateur Telescope Making", written in 1932 by the editor of Scientific American, Albert Ingalls. "Hobbies should be a way 2 waste time, not 2 count it." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> -ol' 2long
