Have studied this lot what is here and much more, yet no mystic am I, only me and naught more or less. If that offends, tough, cannot apologize for it as there is nothing to offend or apologize for. To the offended, you're as human as me too. Am I to be offend by that? Ah, be we all our wee dreams ...

Big Note: The above is strictly fantasy, fictional. That does not say I would or would not do such a thing to a Federal agent. It also does or does not say I do or do not have a 50 caliber rifle. Again, it is an expression of fiction. I do write fiction. It is not a threat and should not be read as such. I add this note as things may be misconstrued easily in the world in which we now live. I do not seek to be misconstrued. Thank you.

Fact being, the area in which we live plays host to various Federal agents fresh out of academes who train here. They do wear electronic gila suit subterfuge. It is annoy as hell too. I can sense it shimmer, short circuit from a far enough distance off to see them, smile and wave. That is one aspect of covert operation that technology can help yet has not quite perfected itself to be proven. My opinion and preference would be to rely on the older and more practical means instead of unproven technology. For example, rather use a knife than a gun to kill or fight with. You never have a worry about it jamming, no need to reload.

That aside, I'm a pacifist and do not seek to fight or kill others. Misconstrue that at your own fault and risk.

I will have change shorts at least 142 times. Not sure I ought wear blue, gray, black shorts. Wife would likely enjoy herself, even not drinking. Do her good to get away from her work in retail. Do me good to see sysper, pepper and take a break on the firewood. Estimating I've already split and ricked three cord. Am told they likely have at least twenty more truck loads where they're fetching at now. May not work wood on morrow, laundry day.

Also need to do field day in our room, on morrow. Still yet to complete the dog hut too. Maybe better I don't work away from home. Some house hubby has to keep us going. Really ought to find him but I'm too busy to look, he seems to be in six to ten places at once too. Not sure how he does it. He may know something about temporal displacement theory, or suffer ADHD, ADD. "Oh look, a schicken!" * one self darts off chasing chicken *

Any given, a break would be nice. Though fear if I stop too long, zzzzzz. Happens as I read Terry Pratchett despite my best intent to not doze off and enjoy reading his stuff. It makes me chuckle and offers much needed hope.

I really must get to growing beans too. I will be the one walking around during the zombie apocalypse passing out half bushels of green beans to strangers and chanting, "may the pod be with you. In the name of the sprout, the legume, the holy vine; Farts to you!" People going to need to eat, beans are protein. Protein induces a warm fuzzy sleepy passed out coma like state. If they're comatose it means they can't rob us or harm us. The next day on waking they'll see us and equate us with a blissful feeling of warm fuzzy happiness and a full belly. they'll then protect us and the sacred knowledge of beans. "May pod be with you." * passes out beans to passing strangers and watches the bean religion spread *

105 times I've heard "oh kids are terrible now". What I understand is my nephew is not attending school because kids bully him. He has told teachers, principals and so on to no avail. And his parents won't do anything but tell him to stand up for himself. Sure he needs to do that. Same time if the correct means of dealing with a situation are more the problem, looks like parents would help stand up with a kid instead of being a problem too and doing nothing but tossing out platitudes. Here in WV parents can be locked up over truancy concerns. May be funny if he misses too much time from school. Doubt it'll help though. People don't learn, won't, choose not to.

An extreme expression is "rule nazi".. such peeps do exist but generally they take their ball away.. am tryin' to work out how a "silly" game can have strict rules. By its nature there will b some rule breaking maybe even a lot.. I can b ver silly. Am not saying dont have rules and neither am I saying don't enforce them, but I am saying as in anything, a light touch, luffly 1, and in a game entitled "Silly Countdown Game" u can try 2 enforce rules, but ur on a bit of a loser in end, darlin', it seems 2 me.;):love87:

First, do not think, feel you're being anything near a totalitarion dictator.

Second, I thought, felt it was a Silly Game we we all enjoyed as means of passing time.

Third, find I get a bit weary at times of silly little games, reminds me of group therapy CBT.

"And in your turn you say what makes you feel oh, sad, today?"

Fourth, although weary see benefit in even in silly little games. They enforce 'checking in' and encourage feelings of 'mutality', 'dignity', 'courtesy', 'respect', 'empathy', 'concern'. Although, the illusion needs to hold fast, belief needs to stay suspended 'oh, it's just a silly little game'. Once the gig is up, well, genies cannot return to their bottles. Doubting anyone thought the resident 'plays with socialpath tendencies' had quite missed the 'mental health' implications in our 'silly little game'. Hopefully, if you did this clears it up.

Fifth, being disillusioned now can admit to being a bit of the rails these past few weeks. Wife had to remind me bathing is a welcomed idea.

"Boy, you'll keep zombies from coming at us from downwind", she told me.

Me off the rails is not a 'good' thing to happen. Noticed it yesterday as well in helping her dad hual off garbage for county clean up. Not that one is exactly supposed to 'feel' much regarding using brute muscle to lob garbage, yet feeling the unnamed nothing is not expected either.

Sixth, for the reason of not wanting to visit an institution I will attempt restarting. Rather humbly, simply countdown in a 'silly little' game than commit myself & likely face being drugged to worse state, given electroshock therapy, and other sundry tortures because the fools cannot fix what they cannot label. She here we go then, ...

Not even expecting 72 stitches. What I understand is they're slipping a cam up my pee hole to look into my bladder. Fortunately, they'll knock me out for it. Everything else fares well yet I keep urinating trace of blood. So, it's been 'localized' to the bladder. Trace amounts in this case infers they use a microscope to see the blood. Not seen any via naked eye. Not to say It isn't there but what with them suggesting I feel pain over it and infering I ought to see it, odd I'm not doing either.

Well if it gets out of hand 70 times they'll owe me a good dinner as well. *chuckles* Unless they can prove it was in mouths, pussies, asses then being out of hand would really not be a good reach around. Years back was told to go for a colon check. That was a joke. They required $150 just to get into the waiting room with no guarantee you'd see a doctor on the day you were present. And you could forget being even a minute late, you'd need to reschedule six months in advanced and pay another $150 for the same waiting room bit. Had 3-4 days in a hospital with diverticulitus.

Dumb me really not paying attention and working too much to care, forgot good eating. Short end result was I took highest legal dose of morphine they could give. That let my body 'reboot' itself and all the gurglies in my tummy start gurgling again. Unpleasant aspect of it was me and wife were right in the middle of some real real good tV watching *ahem* with her playing bronco buster. Had to stop as pain in my abs got to be too much. Lolly me walking into ER with all the candy stripers snickering at my still 'unfinished' hard on just poking round.

Not told wife, fortunately that night the gals on the ward I got sent to invited a nice lad up to help. He come in late that evening as the children needed to be asleep. I was still rather fickled. He smiled. "See the problem honey. Not a problem when I finish", he told me. About five to seven minutes later I blessed his name in a whisper and he wandered along with a big mouthful and grinning. Then, one of the gals came in and apologized. She explained the older ladies were either married or dikes, some of the younger gals had boy toys and all around it was no go for the gals. Told her it was quite alright, enjoyed the gent just the same. She grinned and blushed. "oh my" "yep, sorry no meaning to offend" "oh, no offending just a small surprise."

I hear ye. I suppose I found it "silly" in that it was pointless, and too simple for its own good...no challenge, no apparent thought required; not that it wasn't an actual game.

If people would rather not play, and would prefer simply to fool around, I suppose that's ok...as long as we *all* understand that this is what's happening, and can all feel similarly free.

I'm well aware of the fact, there is no *way* to enforce the rules of any game like this. All I've really done is try to clarify the rules, in case people weren't clear on them.

Verba, verbis, verba ...

Yes, I read your post fully. I decided it was not worth being dignified
with a reply aside from this one to illustrate why.

1. You are patently stupid.

This is evidenced in your failed attempt in debasing someone over your
obvious error. There is an element of the story you missed. This element
even as one singular word carries weight. You obviously missed seeing or
miss understanding that one word.

This in your mind equated to liberty to debase someone else for your error. Sorry, you are stupid. There is no way to misread that, no way to misconstrue it. You are fucking stupid. You no longer can play with words. Please let an adult who is not stupid help you put the Scrabble board away. You are stupid. It fucking is what it fucking is.

2. You are inconsiderate and lack being endurable, stamina.

This too is evidenced in your obvious missing of the singular word
element in the story. As you missed it, you have no way to assert you
considered everything about the story, much less read it all. This means
you cannot endure to read, you lack stamina. Again it seems to return to
you needing a non-stupid adult helping you put up your little Scrabble
board.

3. In missing that one element, you also disrespect my wife.

She is anything but stupid, much unlike you. She is very aware that
nurses attend to sexual needs of patients. She also understands it is
a professional courtesy, as the patient may not be in the best way to
attend their own needs.

This is called human dignity. You may want to look it up some time and explore the concept. My wife is very aware of
it and despite my inability to mention it to her, I know she damn well knew I got a blow job from someone. Ergo, it was not cheating.

I cannot lie to my wife, even via omission. She is a witch. She knows
everything and if she does not know it, it is not worth the knowing. My
wife allows me a bit of a lead. That means she does not require knowing
all I do with others. She trusts me and has no reason not to trust me.


I trust her and only have one minor reason to distrust her. That reason has
nothing to with her 'cheating', rather it deals with her allowing me to
help her split my life insurance policy after my 'accident'. And yes,
that is a sarcastic joke. She has no such insurance on me ... at least
that I know.

With disrespecting her you told me the gloves were off. So, I can say
you are stupid directly. I loathe stupid fuckers. Unfuck you all because
you are not worth the fuck I would have to give for you.

You are literal wastes of good sperm and good lady cum. You breathe my air. I like breathing my air. Stop breathing my air. All of it is my air. You can breath it after I am done with it. Or maybe not, I may ship it to Mars to be recycled.


By the by, in case you missed it. I say,

You are fucking stupid, pole_smoker!

Ok, that's fair. Most things vs. anything. After all, the only absolute in the world is that there is only one absolute in the world. *wink*

But if your clogs didn't pop at 29, I'm not sure why they should at 30...but then I'm not really familiar with "popping of clogs" terminology. It sounds like a really unfortunate thing to happen, say at a dance. Which is why I never wear clogs to a dance.

The expression is from the north west of England, mainly the Manchester/Salford area where a century or so ago (less even), clogs were very common footwear... 2 pop 1s clogs is 2 snuff it, joss it, expire, keel over, die... clog dancing used 2 b very common not just in England, but much of Europe.. will say tho, if ne1 ever saw me wearing clogs I wud die of shame.. not my thing at all!

28 pebbles skipped over a pond, within a memory. Funny how all the years
folks went to R&B's no one ever connected the dots that the two men were
lovers. They hosted annual shindigs at a place sprawling over some 300
acres of pasture and woodlands.

When they invited you, you didn't bring a thing. You got there and found
everything and anything you needed or wanted offered up freely. If you
wanted for anything you had only to ask either R or B, and it would be
given to you in short order.

You didn't hesitate out of some social grace, you simply went and had
a wonderful time. If you would have waited, or even refused to go, it
would be an insult. In our area such an insult to these two socialites
could be the same as cold bloodily killing a preacher on the church
stairs one fine Sunday morning. You just didn't do either and expect
not to be dealt with harshly.

Everyone loved R&B because they loved everyone in return. No one was
ever turned away if they 'crashed' a shindig. R&B even welcomed the
police and federal agents in one year, they had come to look for drugs.
That year I recall there was so much drugs at the event you could have
supported three cartels. Ironically no drugs were found by any law
enforcement types. R&B welcomed them to 'come on in any time', with
big wide smiles.

It was at this pond in memory that I come to understand what it was
to have a male lover. They both come over to show me about skipping
pebbles. I could see the love they had for one another in their eyes.
They could not help but chuckling in understanding that I had caught on.
They never had to tell me, never had to feel uncomfortable. There were
probably others who had caught on. No one said though and no one would.
That was the social grace you gave R&B.

Yes, clootie pudding sounds delicious enough to postpone any dieting. As is said, 'Ne'er cast a cloot til Mey's oot.' It is only now October so you have plenty of time until Mey/May. Clootie pudding sounds very much like what got called 'bread pudding' in our region. Guess we Hillbillies keep things a bit off kilter to confound others. They can wind up thinking we're from 26 differing places because we hold fast to naught, or so it appears to them.

Need to teach my wife to make up some clootie pudding. Got her learned smartly on making Shepard's pie & tater candy. She's always saying baking is her bliss. Would imagine making up clootie pudding would fall into that. In fact I recall an old biddy, what that I worked with once, baking bread pudding a wee bit. That old gal made that and it nearly never touched the service bar for customers. I would do my best to devour a 9 inch by 13 inch pan full. Yummy stuff well worth skipping diets over. :)

Yes it does. The old biddy used currents and a dark syrup in innit based in rum. She also then had a french nilla pudding you could dip it in. Not sure if she used dates although it may be she did. I know though currents, not raisins, was told 24 times and shown each there is a difference. All I could do was hope she made an extra batch on the days she made it. A few times she did and the staff of the place were in seventh haven all the day she did. She could do wonders with plain old white fish, cod, I believe. Oh, why I left? Oh yes, felt a need of better pay and it was not to be, company wanted the place gone. It apparently was hemorrhaging money, though not sure how that was to be.

I handled the inventory and kept it top drawer, kept finding ways to reduce costs without sacrificing quality. Example, I got them fresh tomatoes that were better quality than they got and cheaper, delivered same day by a happy Italian produce trucker. He was often happy enough to set off a 'few professional courtesy' trinkets to give us an incentive to buy more from them. Once he left us two cases of fresh oranges, another time we got three cases of carrots and a case of mushrooms. We had a good 'hobo' stew that day on the menu, our customers loved it.

The manager let me do the inventory because one of the drivers for the big chain suppliers pissed her off. They fouled an order, cut her short on a much needed item yet double charged her for an item she had not ordered or even marked as a substitution. It was then she threw up the towel, " ___ you take care of this!" I arranged so he could still get in his truck and drive out but he damn well knew we would quit dealing with his company, soon. And we did. The very next order came 80% from smaller independents who had no problem being very clear, very steadfast to meet exactly what was ordered in a timely manner. And it reduced our cost overall by about 15%, which may not sound much but given how a place runs like that, it adds up.

Each level of boxes on the pallet was five boxes. That meant after
four levels I had stacked 20 boxes on a pallet. And I used to do this
for an employer who had contracts with a client producing the For
Dummies series of books. The employer I worked for handled packing and
distribution offsets for their client at a lowered labor cost.

The employer got away with this by only paying half wages to its
employees who are differently able. There were all kinds of legal
rationale for them being able to do that, for one there place of work
was considered a 'sheltered' work environment. Another aspect was many
employees drew stipend from Social Security and could only earn so much
from 'work' or 'otherwise'.

Not being on the stipend and finding myself more often than not passed
over when there was 'work' contracts, made it difficult to stay employed
there. I took up with a temp service who got me a fill in spot for that
employers's client at their 'workplace', doing much the same work but
paid better even with the temp service taking a cut.

The temp service though let me out to hang for a week. During that week
my wife had applied me for an apple place, got a letter to go to an
interview. Looked at the HR secretary's signature and knew I had a job.
I had worked with the gal at another job, she would get me on.

Worked at the apple place for a while as 'seasonal' help. Must have
somehow integrated as full time, or simply as a favor from the plant
manager, got 'bumped' into the full timer slot. But I was still let go
during seasonal layoffs. "The season is done son, so are you. Finish out
this fortnight shift and then don't come in. Want us to call you back
next season?"

The job was okay but okay was all. Wife had decided to come back to her
home in WV. Told the HR man not to give me a call back, had other plans.
So, there I am. Always seems my creed is 'go, do, move to next, go, do'.

I was raised and trained to be a 'template' person. This means I plug
into whatever is needed done, fill the hole as best able. Often, I fare
better than those who are actually doing it. I get lost in the mechanics,
process and end up being dubbed 'a machine'. Yes, have outworked
machines at times. Other times in all fairness a machine has put
me down. No shame or glory either way, only is what it is.

Got up this morn, gassed up the hydraulic ram. I split around 14 logs each weighing roughly 5.36 stone, or 75 lbs. Been splitting them down into what we are calling toothpicks. Each split piece only weighs at most 0.21 stone, or 3 lbs. Splitting this way so mother-in-law, who is not supposed to lift over 5 lbs, can handle a piece at a time to load the wood stove. I also split some what weigh out to around 0.36 stone, or 5 lbs or just a wee bit more. These are so father-in-law has some good nightly 'bank-the-fire' logs.

Would have done more. Had other things to attend. One was continuing work on the dog hut. My suggestion of 3.048 meter long 10.16cm X 10.16cm corner posts proved highly effective, more sound construction. The framing up now is nearly rock solid compared to what we had done, that fell over. Also had to go into town with wife to attend to a few things, stop for a bite of lunch. Got home then and loaded up father-in-law's wood box in his house. I ricked a good bit on his porch earlier, got wood there and took it in. Then, finished up the day at around 18:00 EST by piddling a bit more at the dog hut.

I figure we may end up having it near done tomorrow. Of course, had figured that before too. *chuckles* We'll see.

I'll have 8 cords of firewood ricked soon. After that, another two for our family use is needed. Anything more will be sold. Me and father in law discussed it yesterday.

If they fetch it themselves we'll sell them a pickup load for $50. That means they come w/ a pickup, load it and go. If we have to take a load to them, within say a 30 mile radius, we sell for $65 the extra $15 for having to load, haul, unload for them. We'll let some elderly have for nothing, or if they insist on paying we'll knock off 15% and we'll do the same with the infirm what cannot genuinely help themselves if they need. We will also help someone in genuine dire straights.

He says he's got enough to cut up and bring to split for a few years of it. I figure if he gets momentum behind it, he'll 'turn up' a lot more firewood to gather in. We have two big old walnuts that were felled during a storm right out here in our 'bottom'. He's got oak up yon way in some back holler, if he can get to it. *chuckles* He's finding a lot of poplar and sycamore, folks want him to take scrub pine too. He takes some but we're not exactly after pine. It burns too quick and too hot, does not hold fire though. It is good to start on but have some hard wood on it to catch.

I strip him out bark fiber and make big old handfuls of starting nests. He loves it. Says when the fiber dries just a little it sets off like paper. I might play with an idea of dousing the fiber with a light coating of wax. Although if it works as is not sure I'd make it any better fiddling with it. He has clothes dryer lint too if he needs a good starting nest material, that and a little steel wool touched by a 9 volt battery gets you a quick fire starter. Of course, flint and steel cannot be beaten, except maybe by a magnifying lens and hot sun. *chuckles*

Had third class fireman training by the navy. Think I have forgotten more ways to start and stop fires than ought to be legal. With the fireman mentality, I break things down to the fire triangle a lot. To stay warm in Winter for example I set up a triangle of Dry, Sheltered, Fed. Well, I better get some other critters fed before I eat. Got a little to rick this morning too. Run 'er slow.

No. We'll help anyone who genuinely needs help. For example a single mom without help for a few kids, no way to pay. We'd help a down on their luck veteran as well. The point being someone has to be genuinely in need. Common sense comes into play. And we're not being judging but if someone can afford paying yet is trying to get something for nothing, it kind of spoils it for everyone. We'd need to charge more than $50 a load if they pick it up, more like $75 - $90. In Charleston it is going for around $200 a dump truck load (about 3 pickup loads). In Parkersburg it's fetching $75 a pickup load, or better. I felt like $50 was a fair price if they load it and go, and they can load it like they want. I'm splitting a variety mix, have 'shingles', 'toothpicks', 'bankers' as my piece classes. Shingle pieces run about 1 lb, toothpicks 1-3 lbs, bankers 5-7 lbs. This helps keep it manageable for anyone, not only the differently able folk. All of it is about 18 inches long, will fit insert fireplaces well.

Just Britspeak commonly used method of telling time... and no, Fran didn't try and ensure reboot fails.. merely mused during break in wee romantic interlude on couch..

LOL, oh, I knew what an ordinary Scot would mean by it, and what you apparently did (not remotely implying that you are ordinary, m’dear).

It’s just that I did my best to resume your count for you, and it appeared that you totally dropped that ball. Given that you’re not normally some dafty, I had to allow that there may have been some meaning there that I’d missed, but would be interpreted as a continuation. Apparently not. S’ok, I have those moments too (*wink*).

Glad you found a romantic interlude to break from!
