SETI, UFOs, aliens and a good laugh...

Ah, yes. It is all in the point of view, isn't it. A good example would be:

This story happened a while ago in Dublin , and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it is indeed true.

John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John , desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door, only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on. The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John , paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or harmed him.

Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road. Gathering strength, he jumped out of the car and ran to the establishment. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrific experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying... and wasn't drunk.

Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John , were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other, "Look, Paddy....thar be the fooking idiot that got into the car while we were pushin' it!'


I must say, I sure burst out laughing. That's the way life is, our point of view, whether it is about a "ghost" car or SETI and UFO's, changes as we go through life.

Will those 'others' ever come forward and introduce themselves to mankind? Looking/watching how STUPID and RETARDED we, mankind, is when it comes to taking care of our planet, Mother Earth... ah, maybe not, eh? Raping it, poisoning it, killing it, killing some parts of her already that will be unusable for over 10,000 years from the contamination we cause.

If YOU were one of 'those' beings, would YOU want to meet us face to face? Maybe not, eh?

Do I personally believe 'they' are 'out there' watching us? Maybe, maybe not. Is there other life? I think there would HAVE to be, with galaxy's going on forever with trillions of stars, many with planetary systems.

Life is so precious, so cool, so wonderful... and we, mankind as a whole, treats it, Mother Earth, so poorly in exchange for what she gives us in return. Will our great, great, great grandkids have anything to look forward to? Or will all of Earth be nothing but a cesspool with few or no resources left for them?

It IS up to us, each generation.

Point of view.

Well, what do you know...

"Grab a chair, pull up to the table, dish up some bacon, eggs, and grits, cup o coffee, and chew the fat. Spit on the stove and break wind, just like one of the family. Stay as long as you like."

Words on a Yahoo Group. Just a big lie. My family isn't into people lying. What is a lie? An untruth is a lie. A poster in a group I belonged to (notice past tense?) stated that Sundance Products was NOT a MLM company and it was NOT about the money.
Right on their website it does state that they ARE a MLM company and that you CAN get rich selling their product because it is so fine of a product. He stated they might call themselves an MLM company, but he doesn't call them one.

This afternoon there were 198 members in the group, this evening there are 197. I guess I am gone. LOL

What did I expect I suppose. If I weren't bedridden I wouldn't be messing around on those dumb groups. I guess dumb is just about the truth. If they hold true to form and about 85% of the population is average IQ or lower, then close to 170 of them are of average IQ or lower.

Being on several of the groups, watching how people spell and use grammar, or lack thereof, I would say the percentage is higher. Like maybe 190 of the members would fit the category.

It sure seems like an awful lot of them seem to be broke and don't have several hundred dollars in savings, let alone several thousand dollars. They all complain to each other about how poor they are. LOL

And when I tried to correct some of the info some of the members posted I became persona non grata really quick. Such is life! LOL

Not a one of them smart enough to figure out that when they say something wrong about you that they should correct themselves and apologize. Not no, but hell no.

It is entertainment though, watching them think they know something. If someone posts 35x35=1235 they WILL believe that and not even bother to calculate it and see it is really 1225 and tell the original poster that they should correct their post. Nope. NOT going to happen. Let's see a show of hands of those above 140 IQ. Ah, no hands eh? That's the way it is. Less than one person per hundred. Spread pretty thin through the population. :)

Time to take a nap I suppose. Go to a better place, even if it is in a dream. :)

Big Beautiful Women - A little taller than most women it seems.

Some people like BIG women. These appear to be a little bigger than the average woman. Life must not be much fun most of the time being that big/tall.

In the last photo, the brunette in the back, second from the right, is pretty cute!
Nice smile.

Green Living -

Just came off of a website that is about GREEN living and the making of electricity. Interesting website. I'm going to have to check into their "how to build a wind generator" for power. Link: Green Trust

I like well written websites and this one lays it all out so most everyone can understand it.

Articles like:

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) String Calculator

Many folks have asked us how to wire their solar panels, and what size charge controller to use. Morningstar has just released… »

Or maybe you do a little canning or would like to?

Canning and Preserving

It's almost that time of year (or already is for some folks) to get out the canner and start putting away the food for winter.… »

Zogby Surveys -

Just filled in another Zogby survey. Been doing those for a few years. Link: Zogby Have you ever taken one of their surveys? It is free to join and do. Ask you questions about current events and how YOU are doing in the world today. If you are a business owner, this one I just finished was about how business was/is. They never use your name, so no worries there. Then they publish charts and you can see where YOU fit in with the rest of the people taking that survey.

If you have a few extra (extra, haha, as if anyone does) minutes, you might click on the above link and peruse a little of how others think the US is doing.

New blog I am reading -

Well, I guess I should put something on my blog once in a while. I am on a homesteading group or two on Yahoo Groups and clicked on a link where a couple got tired of the crap in the US and moved to Costa Rica. Interesting reading. You might want to go read some of her blog. Link: Ginnee's blog

The dog had puppies in May 2010 and in the photo it appears one of the puppies is going to rip the tire off the rig.

That is probably what I should do. Sell my junk here and move to somewhere like Costa Rica. Get rid of a bunch of fat and start living life again.

I do, I really do...

need to do a new post once in a while. There is so much to talk about, things I see here or there. Some funny, some sad. A lot that is just plain stupid. Maybe later this week I will try to do a post. That is a pretty different idea.
