Digital Man

Sometimes they do have meaning and sometimes, as umoveme said earlier, it is just your brain sorting and purging all the random stuff inside it. You have been posting in some of the religiuos threads lately (have you had any visits with your Holy Roller (I think that;s how you refer to them) in-laws lately?) and Kiss has been everyhwere with all their non-snese lately. I think your brain just made some kind of "Mara's random thoughts" soup and you got a glimpse of it last night.

Years ago I used to have dreams about either poisonous snakes trying to attack me or sharks.This was in my 20's - 30's. I never actually got bit, but it was always super close and tehn I'd usually wake up. Very vivid with sounds, color the whole nine yards. The snake ones were usually lots of snakes and I'd be running through them or having to get past them and they would chase me. The shark ones vaired, sometimes lots of smaller ones 4-5 feet or a a few large great whites, less than 5. One of the shark ones was recurring. It my dream I thought I was at Santa Cruz Beach, CA probably becuase that's the beach I went to the most growing up but it didn't look like Santa Cruz. I'd be walkjng along the beach and all of a sudden the beach was a cliff with the ocean right up the edge (like the edge of a huge fish tank) and teaming with small sharks. The edge would keep crumbling and mey feet kept slipping into the ocean but I was always able to keep from getting bit. I always woke up from that one a bit scared. The ones with the great whites were always in some kind of tank, or a large mansion/warehouse type thing with walk ways over or alongside tanks and the skarks would follow me around trying to eat me. Of course I'd slip and fall into the water sometimes and then get out just in time. They stoped a few months after my first wife told me she met someone else and I decided we were getting a divorce. True story, haven't had one in almost 10 years. Sometimes dreams have a meaning, but mostly I thik they are processing and purging clutter in our minds.

Every once in a while, when I actually have cash on hand I will pay the bridge toll for the car behind me.

I think the lyric quote in your sig tells you how this is going to work out. Your one saving grace would be that you happen to hit on a female rush fan.

Not too much anymore, but I used to when I was younger. This used to hold true for me: If the people in my life treated me and thought of me what I thought of myself. I would disown them all. Life is too short, most people are pretty decent and good. We all have things we are very good at an some thigns we aren't. Sharpen the good ones and if you are able try to work on the others a bit here and there. I can't draw, sing or dance, at least not to the point where I want anyone seeing me doing any of those. I am a really good cook and I can swim like fish though. I'm a good dad and husband. Foucs on what you can do and what you do have. Don't let other people's opinions control you. Look in my sig...Dr. Seuss had it right.

HAPPY HAPPY!!!

73 73 is the twenty-first prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the twelfth and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying 7 and 3…. In binary, 73 is a palindrome: 1-0-0-1-0-0-1, which backwards is 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Check out this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/73_%28number%29 I am fully aware I'm a geek.

And then post a bunch of inflammatory stuff on TRF, right? Yes!! Yay! So Valentine's Day is a role playing day for you? You're going to go home and pretend you're DPR?

That's too bad but I guess not uncommon, I really hope you are exaggerating some of your stories. A few months ago my 15 year old son asked me to pick up some flowers so he could give them to a girl at school. I was standing in line with a bouquet of roses and the lady in front of me turned around and looked at the flowers and said "What did you do wrong"?

Awwwwwww! See, happy marriage is not a myth. :) Here comes another 10/10! :D Us, too. Glad to see others are there too. We were holding hands walking around Home Depot yesterday. I kiss her every night when I get home from work. You ladies that aren't being treated this way by your men are settling too low. There's a reason it's called a partnership, it should be 75%/50% both ways.. It's about both giving 75% and only getting 50% back. Everyone always says 50%/50% but I don't think it works that way. You are investing in your future, If you only put $50 in the bank every month and took $50 out you would never have anything saved up. You have to put in more than you get back.

Feck what they say, this is real dammit! It is! I have REAL and true friends I've met through TRF. Friends I know I'll have for a lifetime. We're good like that around here. It's what makes TRF the best! :) I know of 3 TRF marriages that resulted from introductions and interactions on this board. Sundog and Digital Man (I think) Huck Finn and Mrs. Huck Finn and of course Kid Gloves and Tarkus406. This is true. Sunny and I "met" here on TRF one July evening in 2005. We have made quite a lot of real life friends we first met here on TRF. There is a group of about a dozen that try to get together for a weekend every year and we all met right here. I have met a lot of people in person here and there across hte US from this forum and a few other RUSH forums and a few of them have posted in this thread.

Troutman!!! Merry Christmas.

BMW - all of tehm I think you get a certificate when you buy one that says you can drive however, whenever, wherever regardles of who else is on the road. Everyone has to get out of your way and you don't even have to look out for other cars because they will somehow know when to get out of your way.

Walmart: http://www.walmart.c...ry=550 paracord I had no idea that Wal-Mart sold paracord! I saw that they carry the Nite-Ize brand and I've heard it's good stuff. FWIW, the only paracord I've ever bought is Rothco. I prefer it because it's made in America. I've extensively field-tested it, using it in dozens of applications and it's always performed well for me. http://www.rothco.co...rothco-Paracord I also recommend checking your local surplus stores if you haven't already. I always recommend getting a paracord bracelet and replacing you shoe or boot laces with paracord. I was looking for some strong but thin rope for the canopy on our gazebo, the tie-downs always break after being submitted to the weather. I saw the para cord and remember you talking about it so I bought some. $5 for 50', great deal. Putting a bundle in each car also.

Ding, ding, ding....We have a winner.

Yes, I have heard of him. Avoid it like the plague, Brother-man, it's a scam! They take your info and send you a bunch of lists of stuff to stockpile which you can easily figure out on your own after thinking about it for a few minutes and then sign you up for monthly e-mail newsletters for which they charge you a subscription fee! Furthermore, if you go to the website and try to leave without having bought anything it won't let you and you have to reboot your computer! And if you do pay for his stuff and later try to block the company, it electronically changes it's name so it can keep charging your card! I hate jerks like this who take advantage of good people! I understand he's currently slammed with a metric crapload of lawsuits and I say that's a good thing and I hope they sue him for all he's worth with interest! It's also my pleasure to pass on for free the list of food he charges you for: Water, pasta, rice, canned soups, meats, veggies, fruit. Popcorn, salt, milk (condensed or powdered), cereal, beef jerky, grains. Cooking oil, sports drinks, nuts, pickles, dried fruits, spices, honey, crackers. Baking essentials, power bars, instant rice, coffee, alcohol. Hard candies, dehydrated canned entrees, juice powders, protein drinks, peanut butter, Long lasting treats ( twinkies, etc.) Salsa, Ramen noodles, fresh fruit, baby food and pet food. Pretty obvious, right? I mean, come on! As far as prepper's guides go, I always recommend Cody Lundin's most excellent When All Hell Breaks Loose http://www.booksamil...087314#overview and along with it Jim Cobb's Prepper's Home Defense http://www.booksamil...d=5832353087314 Both contain great info and should be plenty to get you started. If you need any more help or have any more questions please let me know! Excellent, thank you.

Nope and nope. Sorry LIX.

Awesome, here you go: http://rlv.zcache.com/ronald_reagan_flipping_the_bird_cards-r63c64c884e0842529afeb42a38869c41_xvuak_8byvr_324.jpg

Jack what have you heard about this guy? http://soldoutaftercrisis.net/ Is he any good, worth paying for? Any good sites/guides you recommend?

How about geeky? Dimitri Dmitri Mendeleev put forth the first periodic table that was widely accepted. Althought Johnny's Sherlock is really good and the color scheme kind of lends itself to Sherlock's hat.

I think he posted a literal picture of the line he is thinking about.

That's part of the reason for the irritation - I tried talking to him about Rush and he was admittedly not that a big fan, he has never even seen them live. Maybe he was mocking some of the things you have said to him about Rush? Having a little fun at your expense maybe?

Thank you everyone for the well wishes, especially my amazing wife who makes my day, every day.
