學而時習之，不亦悅乎？ Xue er shi xi zhi, bu yi yue hu? "To learn and to practice what is learned time and again is pleasure, is it not?" confucius--Xu Er (first book of the analects)--- The book that explains how to be a gentle person

From actual court records: 1. Lawyer: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? Witness: Yes. Lawyer: And in what ways does it affect your memory? Witness: I forget. Lawyer: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? 2. Lawyer: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? Witness: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. 3. Lawyer: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? Witness: No. Lawyer: Did you check for blood pressure? Witness: No. Lawyer: Did you check for breathing? Witness: No. Lawyer: So, then, it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? Witness: No. Lawyer: How can you be so sure, Doctor? Witness: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Lawyer: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? Witness: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law. 4. Lawyer: Now sir, I’m sure you are an intelligent and honest man — Witness: Thank you. If I weren’t under oath, I’d return the compliment. 5. Lawyer: What happened then? Witness: He told me, he says, ‘I have to kill you because you can identify me.’ Lawyer: Did he kill you? Witness: No. 6. Lawyer: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? Witness: Yes. Lawyer: And what were you doing at that time? Witness: Getting laid

No! It's not! I hope you get rid of that cloud some day.

I felt that you were being too brusque, toward several of us, with this comment. I thought you were still a mod and I don't take well to what I perceive as tactless, bullying, disrespectful speech by authority. I did not know about the trunk/mod thing at the time. If I had, I would have been more tolerant. My apologies. I will take down my cat chewing cactus thing now.

Thank you! I appreciate the quick response! Personal info, is quite possibly the best reason there is, for hiding a thread. For giving out personal info without permission---- 30 days is actually a little on the light side. I appreciate your efforts.

Maybe you can be kind enough to update me on a few things. There seems to have been alot of chatter from dawei and Apech, about some misgivings they had about modding (did I just make up a word in that context? ). All of a sudden the thread is hidden, Apech is kicked out of the mod squad and Dawei is given thirty days. Is there somewhere that tells us lower minions; the why and wherefores involved or maybe you can fill in the gaps for me. I am a reasonably intelligent person and honestly I am a little befuddled.

A gaze blank pitiless ignores the just pain as the elite eat the world our many common bonds lack all conviction while great evil kills the good

The situation is way more complex than that.

Blaming it on you Where does it age? When is it untrue? Death's visage? Exit and entrances I still ponder Burn and rave trances as I wander Unconquerable in my still soul? Now manageable A now emptied bowl Am I newly sprung or ancient found?

This topic is now closed to further replies. When is it necessary and when is it not?

It did not make me laugh but, it all was damn good!

The perfect Woman? Projecting the Spirit There is a body outside the body, Which has nothing to do with anything produced by magical arts Making this aware energy completely pervasive Is the living, active, unified, original spirit The bright moon congeals the gold liquid Blue lotus refines jade reality When you've cooked the marrow of the sun and moon The pearl is so bright you don't worry about poverty--------------- Sun Bu'er Sun Bu'er (Sun Pu-erh, Chinese: 孫不二), one of the Taoist Seven Masters of Quanzhen, lived c. 1119–1182 C.E. After twelve years of practice, at Fengxiangu cave, she attained the Dao and, it is said, became an immortal. Sun was a teacher with several disciples, founding the Purity and Tranquility School. Sun Bu'er wrote a set of fourteen poems and is credited with various alchemical work. Sun Buer is one of a group of female Taoist masters collectively referred to as The Immortal Sisters. Many of Sun Buer's poems focus on Taoist practices of inner alchemy, using a precise, yet highly metaphoric language in reference to sacred energies and the subtle anatomy.

I once was unable to enter a room in the dark because it felt so horrible. It turned out that the previous owner, had been collecting various pets, from around the neighborhood and torturing them in that room. Another time, I and two other people felt a terrifying presence, moving silently( in heavy brush) through the woods. We all looked at each other at exactly the same time, with an oh shit! look on our faces and froze, until it was gone and we all felt its' absence at exactly the same time. So, I know that there is some wierd shit happening in the spirit/ghost world.
