  1. How friggin cool is this?? No hate, no call to action, just a simple statement saying, "We don't like this ideal so we choose not to participate." Man, I like that a lot... "The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors," the company said in a posting on its Facebook page." “Chick-fil-A doesn’t belong in Boston. You can’t h...

  2. Why is it that I can't get friggin' SuperGlue to reliably glue anything, but if I drop jelly on the floor, no matter how much I scrub it, for the next three month my socks still stick to it?

      Funny story.. A bunch of us from the station had a party last summer, got totally wasted, one guy decided my mirror would be a good place to lean. B/c lets face it, leaning on something is a necessity when you're drunk. Snapped it off. The next morning, I decide to take it apart and glue it back on with Loctite. Get it back in place, spring back in, but the chunk-o-plastic has nowhere to go, and it's needed to hold the spring.

      So, I glove up and smear glue all over it, and decide to hold it in place till it dries in 10-15min. BAD idea. The plastic melted, the glove melted, and there I was... finger solidly glued in place, up, over and to the side in the mirror. Glue ran down, and solidly secured the whole mirror to its pedestal. Took three people to get my hand out, w/o snapping the mirror back off. Therefore, I would recommend http://www.loctite.com/

  3. Hey all, I'm not sure, but it seems that Gmail is maybe limiting slower connections to their mail and chat utilities. I can see people online, the little green dot, they can see mine, but they can't send me messages, nor me them about 99% of the time. I thought that maybe it was something that they were doing with the server here, but I've chatted with a couple of my other buddies in places like mine and they say that they're having the same problem. So, if you try and chat and I ignore y...

  4. So, I've been participating in a conversation on my favorite forum, EMTCity.com about physician assisted suicide. What strikes me about the conversation is that there are nearly no dissenting opinions, and yet it's still illegal everywhere that I am aware of. (I know Canada just had a big landmark case, but I've heard it's being challenged already.) How can this be? If so few are opposed, then why is it still illegal? And if there are a gazillion opposed, but they don't have the balls/ovarie...

  5. This is what you can learn from Dylan if you get to spend enough time with him...It looks like indifference until you know him well, but then...you can start to see... “Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.” ~ Lao Tzu

  6. Ok, this is my "I hate Qantas Airlines" story.. (Foz, surely you've gotten naked with someone from Qantas at the supervisor level or above? Any 'ins' with Qantas to help a Brother out?) First trip out they lost my bags for three days. Swore they never had them, never saw them, had no responsibility. Nearly ten hours on the phone between them and American Airlines when, on the third day, I get this amazingly sexy young girl voice on the phone at Quantas and she says, "Mr. Womack? Yeah, you'r...

  7. According to an ancient Japanese Tale, a Samurai asked master Hakuin for an explanation of Heaven and Hell. Master Hakuin laugh at the Samurai's question and answer him with disdain: “I can’t waste my time with people like you.” Wounded to the depths of his proud being, the samurai drew his sword and shouted: “I could kill you for your impertinence!” "That", replied the master calmly, "is hell." Disconcerted to see the truth that he'd pointed out, the Samurai...

  9. Sending you happy thoughts from LAX Christian!

  10. I wish that I could like this about a hundred times...(And I've never felt gayer in my life for having said that out loud...) Love is just like a breeze: it comes, but you should not close your doors to keep the breeze inside ~ Osho

  11. So Babs, in a mad dash to find me a hotel after missing my flight is directed by the airlines to hotel.com. She finds me a cheap room, as I asked her to, but to my surprise when I arrive at the hotel I find that the prices that are listed at the front desk are $25/night less than what we paid online... Isn't hotels.com supposed to find you deals??

  13. Hey, look who's still alive!!! Matt Starr

  14. "Every person is responsible for making a better world by planting the seeds of patience, peace, love and honesty deeply in a human heart. " ~ Tsyen

  15. Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. ~♥ Lao Tzu

  16. Babs, Dylan and I spent the last week visiting with our families. One day left now. Her side first, and my side for the last three days. It's been a really long time. I forget the power that they have! There are just so few places in the world where it's impossible to make a mistake. Where you can say what you want, laugh at everything, have any opinion yet never have a worry for being 'taken wrong' or doing any real harm. And the energy that that comes from the nieces and nephews? Generatio...

  18. “People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.” ― HH Dalai Lama

  19. To our Arizona family...we're on our way to the Arizona Science Center...I'm buying tickets if any of you can make it!! Dylan would love the company, and we'd love to see you!

  20. "Though you may travel the world to find the beautiful, you must have it within you or you will find it not." ~ ♥ Ralph Waldo Emerson

  21. A primer for knowing Dylan... Getting ready to go and see our family! I can't tell you how excited I am. It's been too long...but it's a little bit scary too. Not because my family is scary, as I adore every last person that we're going to see, but because of the way that people most often see Dylan. And that breaks my heart. So I thought that I'd write a little primer to give everyone a heads up. Not because people are unkind, but because we are programmed from birth to see autistics incorr...

  22. “You can turn it all around in a split second by making a simple choice to try again, to play again, to love again, to live again, to dream again.” ~ ♥Chris Assaad

  23. "Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be." ~ Alan Watts I think that this is why it takes many of us so long to 'find' ourselves. We've spent so much time, so many years, trying to figure out who we're supposed to be that by the time we get tired of the charade it can be confusing trying to remember, or rediscover, who we are. I have a ton or respect for those like Mr. A Brown who learned most of the answers long before I even knew that there were any...

  24. Ahhhh.... 35hrs of jeep/air travel with cholera... As a travel plan, I can't recommend it. As a diet plan however...yeah, it rocks! But to be home? There's really nothing that compares to that...

  25. Marc Moebis I'm a little disappointed that on June 6th, the anniversary of D-Day, there has been NOTHING on TV to show tribute to the day. When the hell did "The History Channel" veer so far off course? When did "American Pickers" become history? If I wanted to see pointless garbage like this, I'd watch "The Learning Channel" (ironically enough). Once again, television has failed me. So to all the soldiers who gave so much on that day of days, I suggest we all raise a glass tonight, and pay...
