And I bet it feels good when you stop hitting yourself in your 20-penny head with it.

I'm still sticking with the Trumpanzee, can't wait to see them try justifying the lie about this being the first military pay raise in ten years.

I don t want to talk about politics, not in this thread anyway, maybe not at all.

thanks

wes

still no tv in the living room, and I think that I like it. I haven t watched the news in days. been working to get my truck project back on track and have made good progress.

1985 ford F350-4 door, and a real peach of a truck it is.....

finaly found the electrical problem that had been the bane of my existence..... so simple in the end...

the tool I want most right now is a chain fall. if I had a chainfall I could easily take my hood off and on by myself...

the come-a-long will have to do.

or ratchet straps....

You haven't watched anything approaching news in a lot longer than that. It's been at least a couple of years since you have watched anything but pablum for Trumpanzees.

Yes but wes...

If you had a hammer....

Would you hammer in the morning?

Would you hammer in the evening?

Would you hammer out love between your brothers and your sisters?

(not entirely sure how that last one is supposed to work... :? )

Oh, that's easy enough - use the hammer to bludgeon all the morons and haters, leaving just the decent folks to live in love and siblinghood.

You reap what you sow, and you came to this place as if you were Moses coming down from the mountain with stone tablets engraved with the word of God, and woe to anyone who didn't fall in line to accept the wisdom you saw yourself bestowing, they were spared nothing in the way of personal attacks and baldfaced lies you told about them.

Then you found your messiah and decided that the rest of us were idiots for choosing not to follow him. Now you are clearly experiencing some buyer's remorse and don't care to have your face rubbed into the shitpile you helped create. Too fucking bad.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Wes, if you wanted to you could condition yourself not to care what they think. Check a book out of the library on self-hypnosis. Read the book and give it a try. It worked has worked for me. I have found it very useful over the years. However, it can’t do impossible things; it can’t give you abilities you don’t already have or repair damaged faculties, but it can allow you maximize what you do have. And one of those things is your emotions; you can desensitize yourself to the feeling and opinions of others and it can be selective.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

Or you could just click on "User Control Panel" (at the top of the page), then click on the "Manage Friends & Foes" tab, then the "Manage Foes" button, and add Scooters name. That would work, too, and would probably take less time... ;)

What good would that do me? Would it make me any emotionally stronger or tougher? :)

Lib, when you use self hypnosis, are you able to give yourself a trigger word that when someone else says it you'll start to cluck like a chicken?

Lib--I think so; part of being stronger is realizing that you do not have to pay attention to everything everyone else says, and ignoring people who annoy/bother you is a significant part of that. Sure, it would be better if you could do it without any software tool aid, but every bit helps.
