And so... with just a little bit of elbow grease, we make it thru to one more notched page.

Should we celebrate with a visual?


Alcatraz Island, US. (we're going to break thru, and at last, make it to the HoF.)

funny stuff, Jet. I guess they must all be Republicans.

Otherwise, thank you for asking, I'm fine. I hope you are too! Sometimes your expressions here make me worry about you. You seem overly self-depracating...or perhaps just somewhat of a perfectionist, and demanding of yourself. But to me you seem like a pretty smart, witty, creative, funny, perceptive guy, so maybe ease up on yourself a bit...or maybe not, since that would change who you are and that might turn out to be different.

ps: what's that little groundhog with a shovel in the Alcatraz photo above? Perhaps a sample of prisoner art? <<< that sounds like it could be an interesting topic, so on my first search I turned up this sad state of affairs: Untitled Document I'll explore some of these other ones, too: BighouseArt.com Prison Art Prisons Foundation.org Jailhouse/Prison Art Prison Creative Arts Project Spending the last few minutes on these, there's some interesting stuff here but it doesn't make we wish I was incarcerated.

Who's on first? Hu Jintao arriving for state visit focused on economics, security, human rights

If only Obama and Palin had enough sense of humor to go thru the old Abbott & Costello routine with President Hu. That could be the best political story of the decade.

The silence you are experiencing is only my hesitance to put thoughts into intelligible meaning. I've failed this time.

I've noticed over the decades that USAers, as a general populus, no longer value the gift of individual thought; your take?

The same as saying that because you are different/strange, I have the right to shoot feel afraid of you.


Please don't remind us anymore. I'll take the weekend off, and then once you've realized we've skipped a page, all will be normalized. (save for my grand ire for anything that can be summed up with one nebulous word)

Observing, Jetee,
you make most of our progress,
don't take the time off,

or teach us your trick,
coming out of many hats,
though questionable.

Thanks for replying in-between there.
If not, it would have looked impatient/uncouth to come back so quickly.

backstory:
I used to multiply because it was a rare instance, and then I did it because it was fun/aided us, and now, I only reserve it for spite of the one that shall not be named/in threes.

The second time, which came many years later:
In fact, I think it might have been as soon as this past full year, I took to one of Stange Famous's hostings, and noticed a peculiar observance. He had done what no one else could do on command, willingly, (save for maybe the mods) which was double-post. It took some doing (and thinking!) to realize it, what he had done, differently, but I solved it: it was the frames! (the pictures / attachments)


The third time:
It was enabled? Yes. I suppose, it was. Then it dissipated.

Short story:
If you want to leap in bounds as well, just reach into your personal Yay! Folder, and attach an interesting one. {Wait? attachments are disabled within the TF Zone? Nonsense?!}

The power within me to do this has returned, so long as I make a little use of myself. Truth is: I'd much rather have the power to double-post, as this gives me a few extra minutes to change my posting input time, (PIT) and not have to trouble myself with leaving red borderline markers (RBM) everywhere I couldn't edit my posts within the 90-second unofficial window of re-thought (UWRt).

I have to leave for a bit now, seeing as I installed within my current frame of online-usership that I'd post nine different things in nine separate locales, and I sort of broke that initial ruling when I popped back in here for an update.

(Why did jewels feel the need to post then, and there, in my plain sight? Woe!)

I'm sure there are still plenty of people around who are paranoid about such things. As for me, I wouldn't equate it with evility but I believe it is not the ideal system for human society that it was cracked up to be. Actually, there seems to be no such thing as the ideal system if it involves humans who are very non-perfect by nature. On top of that, I can't accept a system that has a distorted definition of human nature. Rabbits seem more perfect than humans.
