See my earlier memo re. posting primes. :D


You know, last night Jupiter had a few fewer moons facing us, or something. Darn clouds kept us from seeing anything. Anybody get in on the action?

Update: jupiter no moons (http://www.google.ca/search?q=jupiter+no+moons)
Out in the dark countryside, a 5x scope is sufficient for viewing Jupiter's moons. However, there's too much light pollution where I'm at to be able to observe such. Likewise, meteor showers are only poorly seen. :(

[weegillis]

3003

Io orbits at 36,000 mph (16.1 km per second--1.41 x earth escape 11.4 kmps). So what is the escape velocity of Jupiter?

[Doc]

3004

I don't know much about escape velocity, beyond getting out of the parking lot of the local beerhall when the stuff hits the fan. I doubt I've hit anything that would compare favorably to Io, though.

However, it was good enough! ;)

And on that note, I'm gonna bow out for the night, and wish ya'll a good one. :cool:

Buenos noches, muchachos! ;)

[weegillis]

3005

You and me both. Doc. Ciao!

Io orbits at 36,000 mph (16.1 km per second--1.41 x earth escape 11.4 kmps). So what is the escape velocity of Jupiter?
What is the velocity required for Io to escape Jupiter? Or, for Jupiter to escape Sol?

If the former, and assuming that 1) Io is presently in a perfectly stable orbit with respect to Jupiter, and 2) any perturbations by other bodies are negligible, then any increase in Io's angular velocity, tangential to its orbit, will allow it to slowly spiral away from Jupiter.

If the latter, substitute "Jupiter" for "Io" and "Sol" for "Jupiter" as appropriate.

[deepsand]

3023 PRIME


I thought that was Rum?


I thought XXX meant poison? ;)
Rum = poison? :shock:

Now you tell me.

[weegillis]

Would an alpine St. Bernard have a bottle of poison attached to his collar?

oops, 3024

He won't have ANYTHING attached to his collar very long, if he gets within arm's reach of me! http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e127/dcamp2626/Amigo-2.gif (file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Sheldon%20L.%20Campbell/My%20Documents/%5bimg%5dhttp:/i38.photobucket.com/albums/e127/dcamp2626/Amigo-2.gif%5b/img%5d)

I had a great uncle that made shine, down in the Meridian, MS area. No car radiators for that old man, though...he had a fairly sophisticated setup. I only saw it once, when I made a run up there with my Dad and my uncle. I'll bet they were kicking out a quart every five minutes! And it was mighty good stuff, too! Made his deliveries in five ton bobtail trucks. He was fishin' buddies with the sheriff, so I imagine that's how he got away with it for so long. Folks came from out of state to buy his shine.

He was found, face-down in a gully, dead from a heart attack, about two months after he quit drinking. Nobody with the talent and the inclination to carry on, so I suppose it all went to seed. :sad:

Convinced ME not to quit drinkin'! :cool:

[deepsand]

3028

Most 'shiners who are still active, and for other than just their own use, run a pretty clean 'still, thanks to easier access to the technology, both materials and information, required for such.

[deepsand]

I love my old Winchester 30-30.

[weegillis]

When they outlawed the head shot on grouse and other upland game (with the .22 and other small bore calibers) in favor of shot I quit hunting. It took all the sport and accuracy out of it. Couple of grouse would go over real well, right now...

3031

add to this that four hundred and thirty three is one seventh of this.

Good night from Alberta where the full moon + 1 is just rising

[deepsand]

3032


When they outlawed the head shot on grouse and other upland game (with the .22 and other small bore calibers) in favor of shot I quit hunting.
:shock:

WTF? Why?

A .22 match rifle, w/ 3x scope, is a most effective means of taking small game, up to and including turkeys. It results in much less metal scrap strewn about, less edible meat being damaged, and a great reduction in the number of wounded animals being abandoned and consigned to tortuous deaths.

Even for big game, a sufficiently powerful small caliber, such as a 222 or 220 Swift, in the hands of a good shooter will suffice.

No doubt there are those who wish that we both shut up!

Guess they'll just have to see the Chaplain about getting their TS cards punched. :D

[weegillis]

3042


Why?Beats me. I went in for my hunting license one year (back around 1981 or 82) and was told I would have to use shot. No explanation.

With just the v-sights from 60 yards my lever action Winchester Model 70 (30-22) was a crack accurate rifle. It was a little bit heavy at about 7 lbs, but I think that helped to steady it.

Sold that rifle the following week, and never looked back.

[jabo]

well that was interesting... the day was all boring and all until an unexpected smile... that was the first time I saw her actually... don't even know her name... anyways, what are you all up to today???

"I've Just Seen a Face" - Beatles (1965; Rubber Soul (US), Help! (UK))

I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, da-da-da-da-da-da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, da-da-da-da-da-da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just met
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-da-da-da

Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Oh, falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again

"I'm a Believer" - Monkees (1966); lyrics by Neil Diamond

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a givin' thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

HAH! Gotcher prime right here, buddy! :p

[deepsand]

3050

Proof of Infinite Number of Primes:

Let P(1), P(2), ... , P(n) be the finite list of all Primes < P(N)+1

Let PP = P(1) x P(2) x ... X P(N)

Then, PP+1 = 1 mod (P(n)) for all n = 1 to N

Therefore, PP+1 is either Prime, or is divisible by at least 1 Prime > P(N)! :D

I wonder who in the world thought of the idea of marriage... I mean, it just adds to the pressure in life.. if you get old with out a wife, that kinda labels you as a bachelor or a loser...

[deepsand]

3052

Men did, as a means of laying claim to their mates & offspring.

[Doc]

3052

Men did, as a means of laying claim to their mates & offspring.

43 x 71 = 3053

Or maybe women did, as a basis for collecting alimony and child support.;)

Jabo- if it's any consolation (and I really doubt it is)...

you're not alone. A LOT of men have wondered the same thing, and probably more than a few women, as well.

I'm one of those guys that just isn't meant to be alone. I enjoy be being married...it makes be feel whole.

But every 28 days or so, I have to wonder WHY!:(

[jabo]

3054 ^something to do with the curse of cleopatra? or I'm way off topic with the 28 days? lol...
am not really not old, just kinda feeling old and alone... the people I live with have their partners, one even married, and there I go on the daily basis, doing things on my own... anyways, soon maybe, some one would be nuts enough...

As stupid as it sounds, guy, sometimes the best way to find something is to stop looking so hard for it. Let it find you. ;)

[deepsand]

3056

My problem has always been seeing what's available; 40 years too late, my best friend's telling me about the women that were standing in line for me. He thought that I was aware of their interest, but not interested in them. :cry:

[jabo]

3057 I don't think that it is stupid Doc... maybe thats just the way things should be... ^guess on my part, am busy always getting my self drunk that I tend to see things differently with the ladies around me..

Good morning, Dubbya! Haven't seen much of you lately!

[Martinscholes]

3063.

A rather interesting website is at 3063.com (http://www.3063.com/)

Well, not so much interesting as a little bit unusual! ;)

[WickedGoddess]

3064-- Good early Morning guys! Seems we're serious up there huh?!

I went to the church yesterday because it's mama Mary's birthday. I didn't know that there's a wedding ceremony so I stayed till the groom and bride arrives. I was so happy seeing couples being tied by God. They were so happy and you could feel the love in them.

[jabo]

3065

I don't see myself getting married... just a bourgeois idea given to us by this institution that fails as often as it succeeds. everything is controlled by the corporate media... the reason why there is such thing as valentine days is for hallmark to sell cards...

[jabo]

3067

somewhat "Definitely, Maybe"

[WickedGoddess]

3067- Maybe you're just being cynical about marriage? Have a problem?

[jabo]

3068

for now maybe, I mean, since it takes two to tango, changes could occur in time, I mean, maybe sooner or later a nut or two will be crazy about me and we'd both be either drunk or crazy enough to actually do it... are yah married?

[Doc]

3 x 3 x 11 x 31 = 3069

Marriage can be a great thing, jabo, when you find the right mate. ;)

[jabo]

3070

I know... its getting there thats lame...

[WickedGoddess]

3071- Time will come and surely you'll find someone, enough to change your views about marriage. Just chill out in the mean time...

Me, I'm not yet married, and hope not until the next 5 years. That doesn't mean that I don't want to. I just want to take some more time with my self. ;)

[jabo]

3072

why, what are yah like? 18 or something? anyways, people's views about things changes in time anyways...

[deepsand]

7 x 439 = 3073 .......


Marriage can be a great thing if
you find the right mate. ;)

[Doc]

3074

Yeah, DS, there's always that "if".

I think it was Robin Williams that defined divorce as a surgical procedure, by which a man's testicles are removed, by way of his wallet. :-?

[deepsand]

3075

Still, I do concur that it's worth the effort; you can't score if you don't play the game.

BTW, you're now at 8. :D (Did I already tell you that? :-? )

3076

No, or if you did, I missed it.

Took me three tries to get it right. The first two with the same woman (yeah...I know! :rolleyes:).

But we just celebrated our twentieth anniversary a few months ago, so I guess she's gonna keep me! ;)

[WickedGoddess]

lol@ Doc? 3 times with the same woman? That's something... sweet!

@jabo, I'm already 24.

[Doc]

3078

No, just the first two times with the same woman. #3 (the keeper! ;)) came later.

[deepsand]

3077 and, thanks to Doc's near simultaneous post, the PRIME 3079

Took me three tries to get it right. The first two with the same woman (yeah...I know! ).
And, yet, that does sometimes work out quite well indeed.

How'd the concrete fare in that little episode? ;)

[deepsand]

3087

Head's about only thing that didn't hit concrete, which has nutted up. Odd that I shook it off quickly, felt fine 'till late last night, as if it was lying in wait, so as to take me by surprise.

Ouch! Doc, you take care.

Is there a difference? :D

Yeah, there is sometimes a difference.

And that would make you, malaking pinuno, Jabo.

The BIG boss! :wink:

Not much here. I spent the day chopping wood and working on a website.

Deepsand helped me find a problem with my code (but he was NO help with the firewood!)

Then he whined a while, because I couldn't find the cheese.

Now, I'm watching a movie, and popping in here now and then.

By the way, I was salingpusa myself here, just a couple of months ago! ;)

Spent most of my time down south. We worked out of Cavite, but spent most of our time in Mindanao and Zamboanga.

After all, it's not like I don't TRY to pull this place down to my level! :lol:

That kinda sux! Why don't ya trip their main breaker, and go home and get a good night's sleep? Then call them around 9:15, and give 'em hell for standing you up!

[deepsand]

3124

Good idea; but, with one fatal flaw. The appointment is with a local machine, and a human located 200 mi. away. I can remotely screw with the machines where he is, but not with his phone system. On second thought, since his phones are on his DSL trunk, I could, but I'm too bleary eyed at the moment to pull it off in short order. And, on third thought, his initial contact will be via cell phone. :( :( :(

BTW, I'd a reply to your most recent PM nearly finished when the power went. I did have enough time to back it up to the HD, but not enough to both save all of my other open work and do a floppy copy. When I get home, sometime Sat. night, I'll get it off to you.

Time now for me to crash; at least I can set the alarm for 0730 rather than 0600. :D

Enjoy.

Good idea; but, with one fatal flaw. The appointment is with a local machine, and a human located 200 mi. away. I can remotely screw with the machines where he is, but not with his phone system. On second thought, since his phones are on his DSL trunk, I could, but I'm too bleary eyed at the moment to pull it off in short order. And, on third thought, his initial contact will be via cell phone. :( :( :(

BTW, I'd a reply to your most recent PM nearly finished when the power went. I did have enough time to back it up to the HD, but not enough to both save all of my other open work and do a floppy copy. When I get home, sometime Sat. night, I'll get it off to you.

Time now for me to crash; at least I can set the alarm for 0730 rather than 0600. :D

Enjoy.

3125

Enjoy!;)

[deepsand]

3126

3/4 length sofas do not good beds make. :(

[Doc]

3127

Should have laid down the coke vending machine, and slept on that! ;)

[deepsand]

53 x 59 + 1 = 3128

Took the cushions from the sofa, laid them on the carpet, placed my briefcase at one end, and put a throw cushion on top of it as a pillow; not great, but passable. I've slept on worse; it beat the hell out of some of the terrain I've camped on, not to mention some of the strange places I've woke up in. ;)

[Doc]

3 x 7 x 149 = 3129

Could have been worse! What I hate about that kind of situation (especially when I have to meet a client) is not being able to take a shower in the morning. :-?

[deepsand]

3130

Well, if you'd move to a more temperate climate, were one didn't constantly sweat so profusely ... :D

None of my clients are suits; in fact, most are about a far from such as one can get, so that a daily morning ritual is wholly unnecessary. Fits well with my usual Easy Rider look.

[Doc]

31 x 101 = 3131

I know what you mean! ;) http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e127/dcamp2626/9c3f37bf.jpg

[deepsand]

3132

Yep; that be it. :cool:

Anyone has a problem with that, they can CMA. :D

[Doc]

13 x 241 = 3133

Of course, for my really important clients, I put on the dog! ;)

[deepsand]

3134

:cool:

As for myself, I go for a Greek fisherman's cap & aviator style shades.

[Doc]

3135

Not a bad look, I suppose, if you're going for the under-nourished vagabond impression. :rolleyes:

[Doc]

2^6 x 7^2 = 56^2=3136

On the other hand, there's something to be said for the over-nourished ne'er-do-well, an image with which I'm much more comfortable (not to mention, more believable). ;)

[deepsand]

3137 PRIME, which is what I'm still in.

I'm still at an ideal weight for coxswaining, and I've had no complaints. ;)

[artagnan1978]

3138

Have a greatSunday, everyone!

[deepsand]

43 x 73 = 3139

Likewise.

Want to go to a Phillies-Mets game? Your choice of 1:05 and 8:05 EDT.

[Doc]

3140

G' Morning, everybody!

Desperately wanting a refill on my coffee, but not awake enough to stumble into the kitchen to get it!:neutral:

[deepsand]

3141

Yep; that does suck.

Though I do try to make sure that there's enough in the thermos when I turn in, sometimes I over-estimate its contents. And, sometimes I'm just too damned tired to stumble downstairs, diddle with the coffee maker, and wait for it to do its job; I know that I'll pay the price in the morning, but the needs of the moment prevail.

In such cases, if absent a pressing need to get up, the solution is to just go back to sleep. :D

[webhost1]

3142 - this is going to take a long time. A very long time.

[Doc]

7 x 449 = 3143

'Shouldn't take so long, now that you're here to lend a hand. ;)

[deepsand]

3144

Time is the one thing in which all men are of equal measure; none possess more minutes per hour, nor more hours per day, than another.

[Doc]

3145

I'm stuck on the bbq grill, and have been promised an "opportunity" this evening that seems to involve some sort of process called "dish washing".

Am I one lucky SOB or WHAT? :lol:

[deepsand]

3146

Well, this being a G rated site, I'll simply say that the ex used to invite me to help with the cooking, in a manner that guaranteed that doing the dishes came much later. :D

[Doc]

3 x 1049 = 3147

Yeah, well...

it's been a while since I've been bribed so.

You can bet I'd be cooking a lot more often, if that was the case! ;)

[jabo]

3148
still wasted

[Doc]

47 x 68 = 3149

Wasted, as in intoxicated?

And if so, I'd like to complain that my invitation must have been lost in the mail! :rolleyes:

[deepsand]

3150

Come up for a Penn State football weekend, and I'll treat you to the Rathskeller and the Phyrst. :D

[Doc]

23 x 137 = 3151

Thanks, and if I ever find myself in your neck of the woods, I'll take you up on it.

Two things are absolutely CERTAIN, though...

it WON'T be during the winter! :shock:

and it won't be a trip I made, solely for a college football game. :rolleyes:

Now, if we were talking the Steelers vs the Cowboys or the Chargers...;)

[deepsand]

3152

Did I say that you had to go to the game? :-?

Do it for the brew & the ample supply of fine eye candy! ;)

What about Eagles-Cowboys?

[Doc]

3152

Did I say that you had to go to the game? :-?

Do it for the brew & the ample supply of fine eye candy! ;)

What about Eagles-Cowboys?

3 x 1051 = 3153

That would be tempting! Of course, taking into consideration the necessity of certain pre-game "warm-up" activities, and an appropriate "cool-down" period...

I'd be talking about a week's outing. And on my present budget, I do real well to survive HERE for a week. :D

[WickedGoddess]

3151- Just got my hair curled:D

[Doc]

3151- Just got my hair curled:D

3152

Okay!:neutral:

How ya been? Haven't seen much of you lately.

So does that mean we should expect a new avatar shortly?

[WickedGoddess]

3153- Was just busy fixing things, just got many problems at hand right now.

[deepsand]

3154, 3155, 3156 & 3157 = (7 x 11 x 41)


I'd be talking about a week's outing. And on my present budget, I do real well to survive HERE for a week. :D
Yeah, I know what you mean; I'm exceedingly light in the purse myself. :(

[Doc]

3158

Well, I'm gonna throw in the towel for the night.

See ya'll tomorrow! :)

[Uncle Dog]

3159 - Broadband repaired. Only took 8 days.

[Dubbya]

3160 - Hoo-ray for functional broadband!

[Doc]

29 x 109 = 3161

Even a bad day of broadband is better than a good day of dialup. ;) Welcome back, U-Dog!

[deepsand]

3162


3159 - Broadband repaired. Only took 8 days.
What; no satellite link on the canoe? ;)

[Doc]

3163 = Prime

Uncle Dog, be advised...

Next time you reneg on an offer to deliver some good scotch, you might lose your satlink permanently! :evil:

;)

[deepsand]

3164

Well, he's definitely not getting an invite to any more swap parties. :p

[Uncle Dog]

3165

2nd trip the Satlink got washed o'erboard just off the north coast of Nepal (obviously wasn't working anyway) Had nothing to eat but 9 gallons of whisky all the way home. Took me 5 days... the remaining 5 days at sea were hell! I'll try again soon... I'm gonna need a bigger boat.

[Doc]

3165

Spoken like a true Scot! :D

3166

[deepsand]

3167 PRIME

I'm having a hard time buying this "I got lost" story; this makes 2 supposed attempts, both failures. At this juncture, I need to see the navigation logs.

[Uncle Dog]

3168 - Logs? I burnt the first one and made a canoe out of the second one.

[Doc]

3169

I'm beginning to wonder if he even got anywhere west of Glasgow! :rolleyes:

[Uncle Dog]

3170 - I started west of Glasgow and headed east.

[Doc]

3170 - I started west of Glasgow and headed east.


3171

Well, you may be a damned fine Scot...

but as sailors go, you're sadly wanting, U-Dog. Maybe if you had taken a sou-westerly heading. ;)

I could have grown my own grain and built a still by now. 8-)

[Uncle Dog]

3172 - No, no, no. There's an aqueduct to Stalingrad now!

[deepsand]

3173 PRIME

But, that's filled with vodka; not exactly what we were expecting to have delivered. :(

[Uncle Dog]

3174 - You're thinking of the vodkaduct. That's not due to be completed for a couple of years yet.

[deepsand]

3175

Like most non-Slavs, you confuse voda, water, with its diminutive form, vodka, loosely meaning "water of life," or aqua vitae.

That which you refer to as a vodaduct is actually a vodkaduct! ;)

[Uncle Dog]

3176 - I think you'll find that's a whiskyduct.

Whisky is a shortened form of usquebaugh, which English borrowed from Scottish Gaelic uisge beatha and means "water of life".

[briguy]

3177 Interesting VMA's last night?

[Doc]

3176 - I think you'll find that's a whiskyduct.

Whisky is a shortened form of usquebaugh, which English borrowed from Scottish Gaelic uisge beatha and means "water of life".


Uisge beatha, eh?

Makes sense! So is this whisky duct large enough for your canoe? Now, you won't have to have a larger one to carry more whisky.


But for goodness sake....remember to pee IN the boat! ;)

[Uncle Dog]

3178 for Doc and 3179 for me. briguy - I've no idea what you're talking about. Are you from the colonies?

[deepsand]

3180


3177 Interesting VMA's last night?

For the teeny-boppers, no doubt; for the rest of us, :rolleyes:

[Doc]

3179

I didn't watch them. I was torn between the VMAs and the Miss Nude Russia Contest.

I opted for glasnost.;)

[Uncle Dog]

3181 for Doc and 3182 for me. What's up Doc?

[deepsand]

3183

Eta pravena.

[Doc]

3181 for Doc and 3182 for me. What's up Doc?

3184

I guess my mind was wandering.


Anybody seen it go past? :confused:

[deepsand]

3185

It's out to lunch with mine & those of several others.

[Doc]

3185

It's out to lunch with mine & those of several others.

3186

Damn! Everyone knows but me!

I'm getting tired of overhearing people say my mind is out to lunch. How come I never get invited to go along? :-?

[briguy]

3178 for Doc and 3179 for me. briguy - I've no idea what you're talking about. Are you from the colonies?

3187 lol well My twitter was overloaded with the VMAs stuff...5th generation Canadian from Ireland!

[Uncle Dog]

3188 - Eta pravena deepsand? - that reveals 2007 and avatar wige.

[briguy]

3189 Interesting avatar Uncle Dog!

[Uncle Dog]

3190 - I think it reveals the inner me.

[briguy]

3191 I can't argue with that...nice special effect anyway!

[Uncle Dog]

3192 - Thanks, I played around with Photoshop to get the layering/lensing. I think it looks best/strangest on an LCD - you get a faux holographic effect.

[briguy]

3193 (Uncle Dog) Sure is a nice effect..have to learn Photoshop! Anyway..be back tomorrow!
Have a great day/night!

[deepsand]

Eta pravena deepsand? - that reveals 2007 and avatar wige.

TechRepublic?

[Doc]

:confused:

TechRepublic?

3194 & 3195

Yep, that's what I came up with too. :D

[deepsand]

3196

That be me there and Military.com as well. :D

Dumped my USNA avatar at both, as was too detailed to be understandable when compressed, in favor of the one that wige is using here.

[jabo]

3197


what did I missed? cant work well, my head keeps hitting the monitor, keeps falling asleep..

[deepsand]

3198

Just the VMAs; no big deal.

[deepsand]

7 x 457 = 3199


Damn! Everyone knows but me!

I'm getting tired of overhearing people say my mind is out to lunch. How come I never get invited to go along? :-?
Yeah; I never know what was had for lunch, or if it was enjoyed, until it's over. Vicarious pleasure just doesn't measure up to the real thing. :(

[Doc]

7 x 457 = 3199

Coming up on the .4% milestone. :rolleyes:

[Doc]

3200 & 3201

Darned simultaneous posts.:(

[deepsand]

Wow; didn't realize that we were that far along. :shock:

Are we hot, or what?

PS : 9 :D

[Doc]

3202 & 3203

Movin' right along!

Only 996, 797 to go! ;)

[deepsand]

3204, perhaps; we'll see after I post. :-?

[WickedGoddess]

3205--- I'm very very very sleepy!:( zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[jabo]

3206

^hows about a cup of coffee... a pint usually does it for me... ;)
must have been out all night eh...

[WickedGoddess]

3207? A pint will make me sleep all day. I'll go for coffee... thanks!

[Doc]

3208

Wake up, Goddess! Grab a cappuccino or something, and get that other eye open! ;)

[deepsand]

3209

Mid-day & sleepy? What's with these young pups?

[Partnerhoroskop]

3210 and motivated

[Doc]

13^2 x 19 = 3211

Not particularly motivated here, yet. I was up 'til the wee hours, and just woke up about an hour and a half ago. These days, it takes me that long just to get enough caffeine in me to function. ;)

[Partnerhoroskop]

3212
and still motivated

[Doc]

3212
and still motivated


3 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 17 = 3213

Eleven minutes, and you're still motivated? I think they have a medication for that. :lol:

[Uncle Dog]

3214 - whisky

If I ever stop leaning, let the wolf shave maracas.

[Partnerhoroskop]

Sorry, I didn´t realize that I´m playing with the pros
3215

[Uncle Dog]

3216 - Playing?

[Doc]

3216 - Playing?


3217 Pros?:confused:

[Uncle Dog]

3218 - You seem to have driven them away Doc.

[Doc]

3218 - You seem to have driven them away Doc.


3219

I have that effect on people! :-?

Serves 'em right.....calling us "Pros"! ;)

[Uncle Dog]

3220 - Way too much respect!

[Doc]

3220 - Way too much respect!


3221

Not to worry, mate!

When they get to know us better... ;)

Speaking of which, are you and your canoe underway again yet? It's getting desperate here!

[deepsand]

3222

Desperate? Desperate is consistently getting to the wet goods store after they've close. :(

[Doc]

3222

Desperate? Desperate is consistently getting to the wet goods store after they've close. :(


3223

I don't have that problem. I always have an extra behind the bar, for that very thing. Unfortunately, I'm half way through my extra, waiting for ole SINBAD to get below the 36th parallel! ;)

[deepsand]

3224

I've a spare too; but, it's empty. :cry:

Guess I could get a job with regular banker's hours, so as to be out & about, during "normal" hours, and ... . - Nah; not happening. ;)

[Doc]

3225

Me either, guy! I just celebrated my one year anniversary of retiring, and I've gotten to the point where I'm really starting to enjoy it. Took a little getting used to, after nearly forty years of marching to someone else's tune, but I came around to it. ;)

[deepsand]

3226

At 63, I'm still not thinking about retiring. But having been my own boss for so long, it'd be most difficult for me to now go back to taking orders from some character out of Dilbert. :rolleyes:

[scarcius121]

3227

Hah, this could be fun.

[Uncle Dog]

3228 - We're deadly serious.

[deepsand]

3229 PRIME

Well, not sure about the serious part; but, definitely deadly. ;)

Welcome aboard, scarcius121; you will, of course, find midshipmen quarters mid-ship! :D

[Uncle Dog]

3230 - Midshipman Quarters jumped overboard last week.

[deepsand]

3 x 1077 = 3231

BTW, today is Mexican Independence Day, so don't expect Doc to show up either early or sober. :p

[deepsand]

3232


Midshipman Quarters jumped overboard last week.
That's the official story; actually, he was keelhauled, with rather unfortunate results.

[hazzel]

3233

what did I missed?

[Uncle Dog]

3234 - When he finally surfaced he actually said "What am I missing?"

[deepsand]

3235

Or, perhaps, "What? Am I missing?"

[Uncle Dog]

3236 - MQ was due a promotion to Master's Mate. It's all rather suspicious.

[deepsand]

3 x 13 x 83 = 3237

You do, of course, mean demotion. (Midshipman - Junior Officer; Mate - Enlisted rank.)

It was his attempted attack on the Captain, following his learning of such, that led to his being keelhauled.

[Doc]

3238

I'm back...
I'm sober...

and I fully intend to remedy one of those in short order.

And that doesn't mean I'm going back out, either! ;)

[jabo]

3239

how often can one actually say I hate my life...

[deepsand]

3230

Depends on :


How fast you can talk;
How much time you spend awake; and,
How long you live. ;)


On a serious note, what is it about your life that you hate?

And, equally important, what is it that you love?

[jabo]

3231

its a routine, guess there is nothing to love nor hate... feel like a robot though... a drunk one at times ;)

[Doc]

3231

its a routine, guess there is nothing to love nor hate... feel like a robot though... a drunk one at times ;)

3232

I've felt like that before, Jabo.

Try just taking a step back, and decide what you like and dislike about your life, and then make conscious commitments to preserve or change those things, as applicable. Don't tell yourself, for instance, "I'm going to stop doing this"...tell yourself, "I'm going to start doing less of this, until I stop it altogether." That allows you to make progress, without unreasonable immediate expectations, and yet keeps you on the road to improvement.

We don't build bad habits or bad attitudes overnight, and it's not realistic to expect to be able to undo them overnight. But it IS realistic to require ourselves to make continuous improvement. Improvement takes time and effort, but success is intoxicating, and breeds more success. ;)

[deepsand]

3243


its a routine, guess there is nothing to love nor hate
Clarification - I meant, not what do you love about your current life, but what do you love of all the things that you know of.

Of those things that you love, which could you now be doing? Can you swap something that you are doing, but would rather not be doing, for something that you'd love to be doing ?

[jabo]

3244

there are a lot of things in life that I would love to be doing... like be with this one girl, but, I ain't in her world anymore... she is happy and that is not because of me... I would love to just be at home now and do nothing, but instead am here working, to earn money to spend to live... anyways, there are a lot of things to love like being alive, but to exist and be invisible is like as good as not alive...

[Doc]

3245

I can appreciate that it may seem that way to you at this moment, because you feel you've lost something essential to your happiness. But there is another way of looking at it, too. I was once very much in love with a girl, to the point that I came to realize that her happiness meant more to me than my own. That's a very precarious position to be in, because it only works as long as neither person takes advantage of the other. We were lucky, in that we both cared enough for each other, to never abuse the situation. But eventually, it came to the point where she felt she needed something else...more than I could offer her. Since I had already promised myself that I would do what made HER happy, above what made ME happy, I didn't really have a choice, but to move on, and wish her the best. She's happy now, in fact will soon be a grandmother. I suffered for a while, drank a lot, fought a lot, cussed a lot, and then got over it. Eventually, I found someone that made ME happy, too, and now I'M a grandfather. Life is a series of circles, and we never really know which circle we'll end up in. But if we stop moving on, we'll just stay where we are, how we are,, and go nowhere.

Trust me, Jabo, you'll get over it. Everyone does, even though everyone thinks for a while that they won't. ;)

[jabo]

3246

well, until that day everything is ok, let me be bitter and sober for now, I promise I'll be better in the morning or two, or a year.. lol

thanks dudes

[deepsand]

3247

If you don't mind, how old are you, jabo? And, how old the girl in question?

[jabo]

3248
still young am 22 and she is 23, known each other for about 10 years now..

[Doc]

3249

So she was essentially your first love. That's always a memorable one, though not always the best.
I'm sure you realize that "first love lost" is a common them of theater since a few centuries B.C. ? ;) We've all got one, Jabo. Welcome to the club.

[jabo]

3250

yeah, I mean I lost count of all the movies I have seen that is focused on that theme...
anyways, sooner or later, someone else will come along... until then...
