  • what is in the moment ? have you ever been to a barber that had the mirrors in front of you and behind you ? you see your reflection of your reflection or your reflection for many itterations. the one as far back as you can see is from the past…
  • for me, the difference between anxiety and excitement is that when I'm anxious my palms sweat and when I'm excited ... gosh this is embarrassing .. I drool. being anxious can take many forms, like being on a tall tower (190ft) on a platform when I'…
  • much like the "Easy Abs" machines that are on infomericals. they purport to "give you great abs in a little as 5 minutes a day" in short, just press the easy button, no need to work at it through diet and exercise. it is too easy to press the eas…
  • I was 'in the moment' earlier this year. I don't remember much about the moment because I was put under for the duration. I wanted to be awake so I could watch, but the doctor said no it would be best to be "out of it". for me, sometimes the mo…
  • I know its a weird title but I couldn't think of another way to express it. what I mean is that animals seem to migrate toward me. When I go to a friends home or even the home of a stranger (went with a friend), if they have pets (dogs, cats) th…
  • and a merry Bah Humbug back. just kidding. I like this time of year for the gift giving because it gives me the "excuse" to buy things and do things for my friends, which I do most of the year anyhow, but around chirstmas I have that as my umbr…
  • Thanks for the words Carl. Just today (29 Nov) my boss was saying how the president of Iran said something to the effect to blame Americans. Then he proceded to say how Bush should NUKE Tehran and any other country that harbors, helps or threate…
  • do y'all or have y'all played Sudoku ? gosh this "game" can get addicting. My local paper has it online and I play it that way. Sometimes I'll print it out and do it on paper. I find it helps bring me into focus. peace, bob
  • Is there a way I can get him to open up and see things from both sides ? Perhaps it is because I've traveled the world when I was in the Air Force and got to know the peoples of the countries I lived in. I see us not as Americans, Brits, Turks, …
  • all very true Carl, I guess it's as Obiwan Kenobi said "it all depends on your point of view". I've tried the same arguement concerning the Isreali/Palestinian problem with my boss. He only sees Palestinians as terrorists, I try to see them as o…
  • I grew up in a church going home. as I approached my teen years, I began to question "why". Why did my best friend have to die in a car crash ? why did my mom have to die of cancer ? the answer I usually got was "it's gods way" or "god had a purp…
  • it has been a long while since I've been here. I hope all is well with everyone. Dad is still living with me. He turned 86 on the 3rd of October, my sister drove up from San Antonio (200 miles) to spend the day with us. I've been doing ok, ver…
  • I take Korean style TaeKwonDo (not ATA). I find it helps with mobility and fitness. We also practice HapKido
  • oh man Buddy, sorry to hear about all your troubles, it makes mine pale by comparison. I hope you get it all worked out.
  • I saw this on the Waco NBC news channel KCEN yesterday (5th) Seven years ago a boy was batboy at a baseball game. Another player was taking practice swings when he lost his grip on the bat and it struck the boy in the chest causing his heart to s…
  • no activity in like 12 days, so try to breath some life back into it. so the question is are y'all going to watch the super bowl ? I won't as I don't care for most pro sports. peace out, bob
  • very true Carl, I hadn't thought of it that way.
  • I was just curious how many of y'all "play" Sudoku ? do a google search, but Sudoku is kinda like a number puzzle. a guy at work brought in some copies and this darn thing is really addictive. one link is www.websudoku.com peace out, bob …
  • a guy bought a parrot from a pet store. He got the thing home and was showing it off to his girl friend and her parents when the parrot started cussing up a storm. Being embarrased he put the parrot back in his bed room. He called the pet store t…
  • how about some more photos ? y'all are a very far out and cool family. peace out, bob
  • ok, here is another one. background - I saw a frog at work and then the joke just came to me. What does a frog say when he is in water half way up to his butt ? knee deep knee deep
  • a guy at work sent this to me. This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but there are more Catholic churches in Las Vegas than there are casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casin…
  • that or pickled eggs. kinda weird, but I've had some very strange dreams lately too.
  • Master Luke is correct ... yes yes yes R2, I'm getting to that. DON'T USE REALPLAYER, run don't walk from it. I guess I didn't understand the first posting, I thought you were talking about playing the videos. upping ram won't make the down…

  • hey Buddy, RAM is the amount of memory you have on the computer. try going to MY COMPUTER, right click then go to properties and under the GENERAL tab it'll tell you how much RAMK you have on the computer. as for Real Player .. I don't like…
  • well hurricane Rita has come and gone and we didn't get much .. about 1/4" of rain and winds 25-30 with gusts to 40. most of the rain stayed about 20 miles to the east of me, I live 90 miles northwest of Houston (college station/bryan). the wind I…
  • there are several possibilities: - you might not have enough RAM (memory) and/or too many things running in the background. - you might need to get the latest version of media player from Microsoft (free download) - related to above, the pl…
  • like what Buddy said ... when I was a little kid, about 5 or so, my mom was taking a conversational Spanish class and she took me with her. I picked up on it really quick and amazed the rest of the people in the class. this was in the early 60's. …
  • I guess I'm confused, I thought A lived with you ? what does A think of his mom's "anti-barefoot" stance (no pun) ? as for the "kid that dared", was he just pushing things or just being a teenager ? and what did the others say when you refuse…
