I missed it by a week 2 years ago, I was heartbroken, but my liver was sooo happy! OTOH, just spending an afternoon in the biergarten at the Pagoda in the English Garden pretty much made up for it (it was a warm late fall day and the number of folks topless or nude and just the happy humanity of it all was amazing, I hope it is still the same given the problems that have been having with the refugees)!

Sometimes, I get urges that it would. I think she has just a little vodka left, saving that we're dry.
Been fairly rough going recently. A lot of temptation to do something bad to her brother in law has
existed. He wrecked her truck, yet again. On top of it he did so in a manner that both was purely
stupid, and did not seem to even consider my advice of letting the weather thaw out a stuck truck.

"Well gee, Ben, you're a fucking idiot! I am the greatest and best driver there ever was!
I know it all, you don't!" That is what it seems to convey to me from him. He also conveys
that I'm not family, and I'm just something tolerated. Well, after we get our taxes squared up,
a few minor things handled me and wife will offer them something of a surprise.

It'll be interesting to see them pay the $6,000+/- a year in utilities here when we no longer
do so. We're giving serious consideration to moving out, to finding our own place. She wants
to check with our agriculture extension office for a first time home owner loan, in rural areas.
I can be a homesteader & she has suggested a few things I may be keen to use as means
of income. She'll keep working long as she can too. She doesn't earn much more, if any more
than $14,000 a year.

I would be out working away from home too if I felt competent enough. As it is I have good days,
bad days and worse. There are a few different reasons which culminate and the pros cannot classify
what exactly is the problem. I think genuinely it is simply I have gone too hard, too soon, too fast and
burnt out, worn the miles off quicker. Looking at life in retrospect yesterday, I survived twenty plus
odd years of abuse, have worked about 38 years, often in some crappy and hard labor work. I used
tobacco, my choice, I drank, my choice, I used a few other things, my choice ...
as much as I worked hard, played harder.

Summing that up, well, I've fucking lived. And from that, it's no wonder I'm at odds with myself,
broken down a bit and fading. No, I'm not exactly helpless. I can still do a fair bit, yet I have
to go slower, watch what I do. I was a give 160% type, now if I can give 80% I feel lolly. :) And
to me, that is being disabled. Yet it doesn't apply accordingly to government standards. Bah!

Then, I had a day where I came near having to take a walk with one of my dogs. He's an older
fellow and been holding his own against some cancer. Been watching him well. I don't want him
outright suffering. On the other hand if he's still able and enjoying a bit of life, let him be.

I did have him in the pen with some younger dogs. He and one of the boys got on seemingly
well enough. Though the younger dog did seem a bit over zealous in foisting attention on the
older one. It also seemed to stir the other younger boy that the older dog was in the pen. The
older dog had become very nervous, withdrawn, was off eating. So, I brought him back up to
the barn with the cats. He really gets on good with them. :) And yes, they do get on good. Not
meaning that sarcastically.

So yes, rather have sat on me arse, got blind pissed than to deal with it all being a
pain in the arse. But yet I quaver there, not the lot wot does such rot. Aye, I kin drink, of that
be sure. But I'd not drink to go excusing, not me way. But yeah, a few pelts could be nice.

Noisy Cricket vaping mod


;; --- NB ---

It's a mechanical mod, not regulated. I'm chickening out on using mech
mods. Seems those are akin to literal pipe bombs. Of the few incidents
where mods exploded or caused melt down, a high percentage were mech
mods. Figure using a regulated mod with safety circuitry is a safer way
to enjoy vaping.

Been vaping about two years now. The biggest issues I have are putting
wicks into coils, refilling tanks. These issues are simply a matter of
patience needed. At times, I have minor issue in tightening the gear
together too well. These minor user issues aside, not had any real
serious ones. Feeling a lot better for quitting smoking.

Granted I have kind of replaced one habit with another. The replacement
though is estimated to be 95-99% safer for myself and others. And vaping
is taking money away from big tobacco, big pharmaceuticals, big lawyers.
In the past two years I spent roughly $160-200 on gear and juices per
year. Compare that with $2,000-4,000 per year I would have spent on
tobacco product.

Having smoked & used tobacco for roughly 30-35 years, I can say that
using nicotine via vaping has not left me desiring or craving tobacco.
In fact I recently had to give back a cigarette after two drags. I can
no longer use tobacco, My body has cleared itself of the toxins and now
repulses on use.

Anti-Semitic? He is against Arabs & people from Northern Africa?

Again, he might have voiced vitriol toward Ashkenazic Jews, yet not toward Arabs or people from Northern Africa. Yes, Ashkenazic Jews are a lot different than Sephardic Jews. You can learn more here (http://www.jewfaq.org/ashkseph.htm).

As for Gibson being a bigot? I do not know him beyond his public image, inclusive of what he says. I perceive him seeming bigoted from those factors. Though, he may be a religious fanatic instead. This seems logical as well, considering a lot of people following Christianity seem on par with fanatical Muslims in sharing a "convert to my belief or die" mentality. Note, I am not saying all. Then too, a lot of Ashkenazic Jews share that same mentality as well.

If they all follow the same G*d of Abraham, why must they insist only a singular belief/thought is correct and all others incorrect? Why not instead pool resources? Oh wait, they already do. All three religions fight among themselves serving to spoil the world for all others not interested in being of their thought/idea/belief. Got it now, they write about big scary monsters then create them for those they perceive as apathetic, weak, different. Ah ha! The old beat the big scary different over the head with bigger and more scary different ploy. I see it clearly now.

How fucking plainly immature, stupid. No wonder I tell all religions to take a hike. I have no need of any offering me either reward for doing good, or punishment for doing bad. When I choose to be good it is simply for the sake of being good. When I choose being bad, well, we have things called laws/rules/codes/statutes for punishment and more than not I choose being bad for a plethora of reasons. One such reason I see warranted is to disobey unjust laws and to not consent to tyranny, in fascist form, in religious form, in dogmatic form ... whatever form tyranny and oppression choose, I oppose it.

Now, excuse me, I will digress. Thought we had a fun whimsical game within a thread here. Fuck me! I was thinking, again. Teaches me.

Why embrace a derogatory slur? To strip it of its power. I can call myself queer, faggot, dirty cock sucking princess, I may let liz call me those as well. But you cannot, I exclude you as you exclude me in using the word as a slur. Daggers like words are dual edged, offensive and defensive. Ultimately though any duality realizes itself as a monad, a whole, without one you cannot have the other. For example, no order without chaos. Attempting to have only one or the other is childish at best/worst. Then, I'm some poorly educated and not wealthy, bisexual country boy, what would I know?

And the selective, hypocritical use of a slur does not diminish its power. In spite of its prevalence in the gangsta rap sub-culture, the word " nigger " ( it was so overused in the movie Django Unchained it became wearisome ) can still provoke some into violence.

The rant has happened several times and I was just kidding about him getting as crazy as Max because of doing the movies.

He does seem to be one of those folks who think anything that is not fundamental Christianity is wrong.

The country with the most people will likely have the most geniuses, and also the most assholes. I think Scotland's excuse for bad whiskies is simply the Law of Large Numbers. The percentage of Scotland's whiskies that are actually foul is strikingly low...but that still makes a substantial number.

Myself, I'll take Aberlour's A'bunadh...or the Irish single malt Connemara. But I could list Scotch whiskies I'd be happy to "settle for" for several lines!

They do this same routine with other various users. The they being the developers and

no they are not 'cracking' or breaking into people's computers. They're running lab tests

Watched that movie again today at sunrise.

I think it's because of Rooney Mara's uncanny portrayal of her. She was able to do so much with just her eyes. She made me love that character. A victim turned triumphant survivor. So incredibly smart, tough, savvy .....and then so fragile, vulnerable and stoic again at the end.

The Swedish original interpretation of Larssen's book leaves the American standing at the station and not least because it is more faithful to the books.. and the film sequels aren't half bad eitha... Noomi Rapace interprets Salander with far greater depth than Rooney Mara and Michael Nyqvist makes Daniel Craig look rather one dimensional in his portrayal of Mikael Blomkvist. Best of all tho, Pep, is the original material.

Am not 100% convinced by the David Lagercrantz stab at Salander with Girl in the Spider's Web tho it is a more than decent stab at the "Girl" books and worth the read. :)

In all honesty, not quite able to engage much. Sorry. Not even able to
on the other site either. A few simple posts here or there. I am just
... not keen to either site much any more.

Am soon going to talk over coming off testosterone with the doc. It
really does not seem to make much difference for me. Have been one with
Kallmann syndrome all my life. Nothing changes that, you have Kallmann
syndrome you have it for life.

Does the testosterone offer me any help? Not really, at least not that I'm
aware. I get horny more. Given our situation that really isn't anything
positive.

Does the testosterone effect my mood? No, but I am fairly much deadpan
continually. I get frustrated from our situation. Not the greatest
environ for stimulating wanton sex. Ergo, me getting horny more often
really is pointless. Yay! I can enjoy sneakily jacking off. Not. Nothing
wrong in self love and not saying there is. Am saying that the same
dinner, day in and day out, well ... there you are.

I have other meaning to life though. That's what survivors do. :)

Seems though surviving is all I have. At times its weary. Other times,
I don't bother thinking about it. After all, that too is what survivors
do.

And that's why I feel a lack of interest in the sites, in a lot of things.

Why bother when it is a matter of going through motions?

Sure, got friends at each site. Still they can do or say nothing to be of
any help. Not sure I know what I need help with, or even that I need help.

Bit of a serious joke in my case, if I have to ask for help ... too
late! And if I have to ask, well tough because nobody knows how to help,
or is capable of helping, ergo it falls back to me. Usually, I manage as
long as I avoid listening to my evil twin. He tells me I'm a monster, a
pile of dung and all sorts of other nasty things.

Maybe I need to do some house cleaning. Nah, not interested. This is isn't
our house to clean. Sure, I can do a fair share. Trouble is it has not
been a fair share for two years. Me and wife been carrying the load. Not
ours to carry.

We're getting to ours though, slowly, gradually. Then it'll be on me
all the more. Planning on a small homestead hobby farm / garden. She'll
help I'm sure but it'll be my homestead that I keep for her. That's what
husbands do.

Been getting loads of information and making self ready mentally.
Will be getting back to walking as the weather breaks. Will also do
other exercise. Bring the body back to speed. That's just a need of
discipline. Yep, still got it despite having it buried.

So this is why I'm distanced. I'm busy, a bit out of touch, feeling the
sites kind of dragging on and not achieving much. I know though, they
really aren't for goals. They're social platforms. I'm just not vastly
social, sorry.

I stay too busy, too hungry. Y'all have fun though.

Oh I agree, it is a bit of good and bad. Sorry if it seems I'm saying
it all looks bad to me. There are truly beautiful times. I have it all
in bittersweet blends.

An example, last night had the wife mad at me. Kind of got a chuckle out
of it. She was right though. I was being inconsiderate. The chuckle come
from actually realizing we do have spats, but we do love one another.

That's kind of it though. It all blends together. It all seems the same.
Been that most if not all my life. Can look at that two ways also.
*chuckles*

I am just too balanced. Therapist says I'm her sanest insane client, and
yes that's a problem in my case. I'm sane, the world isn't. She has no
way to write that up though.

At the least well, I'll be okay. Yay. Okay. :-| As said by one of my
least favored actors, Steven Seagal, "this is my happy face, you should
all be so fortunate to be this happy."

For the most it would be a simple life, yes. I want to use a bit of
technology in farming / gardening. Maybe it is better to say some modern
or contemporary methods, blended with older ones. Intend to work smarter,
not harder.

Jeremiah Johnson was a character played by Robert Redford. Jack Johnson
seems to have been a boxer, there's a surfing rocker by that name too.
Not quite sure what connection you're cuing up.

No matter. I know Don Knotts was from WV. I was born in Orlando, FL,
raised in Rockingham county VA, in the Shenandoah valley area. Lived out
near Waukegan, Illinois for a bit during a bad Winter at Great Mistakes.
We called it Grind Haus for all the grinding we did in keeping warm in
often times -40 to -60 degree cold.

Also lived in Florida a we bit when seeing my dad who had left me when
I was two. He and I did not get on well. As it is it, not sure I would
care if he died. Not saying I hope does any quicker than intended,
merely that I wouldn't care.

Yes, he's my dad and I'm supposed to love him. Sorry, he kind of took
that away himself by his own choices. Not my monkey there. So, I don't
care. I'll certainly never respect him again, not one to be absolute but
I'll make an exception in his case. He got that the old fashioned way,
he earned it.

People fuss about the United States the world over. I merely live
here. I could live anywhere. And yes sure, it is as likely I could die
anywhere too. Ergo, I'm not keen to clamor over celebrities from a
perceived home soil. None of us own the Earth, more like she owns each
of us. People are people. Yep, there again, balanced, too much I think.

I ought to curse this group, or that. I don't. Rather go on and live
best able, maybe share a hope and dream with a few close friends,
family created from friends. Hope I can love enough and be loved enough.
Know I will not be in the news, don't want to be. I'll just go along
telling the rain hello, listening to the stories of the old folks,
making my way a step at a time.

Hope to leave the old place a bit better for my passing. If not, at
least have my passing stir up as little as possible, leave very few if
any treads or traces. That's me too, merely here to pass through.

If that strikes people as banal, sorry. I've accepted the joke. None of
us get out alive. So, we do our best and hope to enjoy the ride while
its going. Seems all in all, all we have. No, not suicidal here. At
peace? Maybe. I'm comfortable at just being.

Of course, that is part of the rationale of seeming to withdraw, to go
into a shell. A lot outside just seems excessive, not needed. Like I
said though, y'all go on and enjoy if it suits you. I'm happy for you.
I'm just off into my own cadence. *chuckles* "Nothing new. Nothing to
see here folks, move along."

Big hugs and best hopes Void()... It can be a nasty juggle to hold it all together, hopefully the plan works out and you can be content.

:love87: for Voidie.

Thank you honey. I do cherish great friends. :) Do apologize if it
seemed I took you to the wringer recently. Did not intend that as such.
Had a differing view regarding stupid. Suppose living with my wife's
sister and her family has twisted my general dislike to a mild hate.

They abuse their children but in a manner overlooked as abuse. They
themselves are children. They let their teenage son lay in his bed with
pneumonia for three weeks before finally thinking, "oh gee, might be a
good idea to take him to hospital".

Me and wife knew something more was foul after he'd holed up in his room
for a day, or two. We decided upon a not rocking the boat policy. Won't
happen again. I'm their uncle, I'll step up and act and consequences be
damned, hurt feelings be damned. Not rocking a boat caused the boy undue
suffering, a week in hospital.

Know it seems contrary for us to run off & go live our own lives. We
must though. As it is we're being the parents of four human children,
four to six dogs and two cats. We only signed on for parenting the furry
children. I cannot sire human children nor does my wife desire them.

So we are removing ourselves from the stupid. We do fine on our own. We
do know how to ask for, find help if we need it. We're not the kind what
need nannies over hang nails, wet nurses over stubbed toes. We're the
kind what the nannies despised for our creativity and hi-jinx. "Oh look,
the curtains are climbable, and combustible", ensued by the nanny coming
with a switch.

What she doesn't think of getting into, I do, or vice versa. At the same
time we understand being responsible, being disciplined. We both agree
if her sister and her husband didn't want bothered with children, they
ought to have both kept their respective junk in their bloomers. See?
They made a choice yet also chose to deny that choice. Ergo, I am very
strongly disliking the stupid.

Do understand your point though. Point a finger and three point back.
Hard to point a finger when the truth of it lies in the background, is
in plain sight for any to see. Some have seen too and agree with us,
but do as asides from their jobs. I think they suppose we're able to
mystically covert her sister and family to perfection and are being
polite. Well, if we go and are not here maybe some of those asides will
become closer looks in the capacities of jobs. May be for the better
too.

My hopes are that you can understand my now hate of the stupid. I see it
leading to abuse and for me that is something detestable. I am though a
nice guy, I try being better than the monsters battled. Sometimes that
is a fault. Leaves one on the colder end of a channel cross.

It was not you I was raging against, nor really anyone specific. It was
the notion of stupid itself. So if we leave off warning labels, I think
evolution will work itself out. "Oh look, an electrical outlet. I bet a
fork in it does wonders. Let me tr ... ZAP ...Thud."

"Damn, knew I ought to have had a label 'Warning High Voltage Outlet'."
Of course, it would make no difference, label or no. Some fool is going
to try. :) You just know it.

It direly is at times. Oddly, I am becoming more understanding of the
pros checking in on me.

"Suicidal today, Ben?"

"Nah, it's not even ... well, it just passed. You asked, it flashed but
whizzed right on out of my head."

I do become very morbid and dark. Sometimes with being an existential
person, that could lead one to the brink. Trouble is with me, I
put another Ben at that bridge. He has the power of Julia Childes'
stupefying dry cooking sherry.

When the other Bens arrive at that bridge he cooks up a storm of mixed
philosophy, psycho babble, zen, daoism, spartan thinking and whoops
their asses. The other Bens then see him for what is, ... Ben prime. And
Ben prime says suicide is no option, ever. He is rather resolute in that
too.

Ah. Excuse me, the Ben what feeds critters is having a fit. Getting
to be time to get at Laundry day today as well, and they Bozos may
have decided to get her father's porch restocked with firewood. I'll
have to load out the truck. Her bro-in-law can't do it properly. Or
maybe he's pulling a Huck Finn. Either way, I get the joys of it.

Every day! We all have to pack away, or chain up, the 'others' and put on the best face we can for the ones expecting us to, and sometimes that's ourselves.

But if you do get the joys of some part at least, then at least it's worth it...

Alright luv, I still wanted to ensure it was expressed that I had no intent of doing so, if I had inadvertently done so.

That's not me nor my way. I have a problem with a person, usually I will talk directly to that person and clear, calm. I will be assertive if their actions are foul. I say usually because I long ago realized there are some, no matter what you say, it's like led zeppelins. No, not a ref at Pookie & Boobie. "That'll fly like led zeppelins" -- as in what Pookie & Boobie were told their music would do. The some you try talking to, it goes with them like led zeppelins.

And aye, I do figure you would have but castrated me had you felt you'd been tossed a shit on. Not sure I would have minded truth known. Ah, I was somewhere ... [ clearing out that image ], oh yes, I'm glad I did not do that even unwillingly or unknowingly. :)

Excuse me. I worked in firewood most of the day yesterday, today, the day prior to yesterday ... and more to come. Been getting back to splitting with an axe and that it's breaking too. Ah, uh, oooooh but it feels soooo good. Delicious physical pain of an eve as the arthritis tears again the nerves and the nerves go haywire and draw muscles to paralysis. Of course the stillness is not sudden, nay, got to smack meself around some more. I punch myself with no reason. Can only suess it's the shite nerves versus arthritis pinching the nerves, then the muscles in the middle get all rewired. La La La .. oh wat joy t'is to be built like me, built like me, no more wires, only running gaggling through mires, forging in the fires, ran through wat with my depraved desires ... lal la la ... built like me, built like me ...

Glitches are probably to be expected, now. People will be coming and going more as communication deteriorates here. After nine years here as void, maybe another two as ddbm, it may be a natural time for moving on.

Spoke with primary health care provider yesterday regarding testosterone treatments I have been taking about as long. It was not a shock that she had been researching the treatment. What was a shock, she agreed with my idea of coming off the treatment for good, saying her reading has suggested it does not do as well as they all thought.

That too like the fading here, is a change in life. We have seen a lot of changes here. Some changes were pleasant, others not as much so. All in, a good number of us came to be friends, a good number of us seeming enemies.

I apologize if anyone here truly desires being my enemy. I forgive you. You're no enemy of mine at all. My apology lies in apologizing for not allowing you that satisfaction. See? I can choose friends and enemies, and no one here can do or say anything to alter my choices.

Have enjoyed visiting here, even during the times I had to ask myself why I visited. Yes, I am a bisexual man. Still, I have felt largely at odds on the site. There has been a lot of sensationalism go on here. I don't understand a lot of it and have done well to steer clear of most.

Yes, I said most. I know I have been party to some of it. Some of it I think a lot of us were party to regardless of attempting to steer clear.

Then, I also consider that at times I feel at odds simply existing, being in my own skin. I am gradually finding peace, serenity. You can bet when I find Serenity, my friends here can pile in and "we'll still be flying!" :)
