We'll pray for you. Or not. Same outcome either way. Just take it as read that we're praying, then it won't matter whether or not any actual praying takes place.

Fuck! I forgot which fundamentalist atheist was on line... sorry...

Okay, don't fucking pray for me, asshole, since the outcome would be the same...

... BTW, does it take just as much faith (read: pigheadedness) to be an atheist as a Pentacostal? Just curious...

There's no faith involved. It's all about reasonability. We'll discuss it in detail when you have some time. Or do you have some time?

Hey sorry, had to deal with another group of Hollywoods today, much stress. Mr V can have his opinion. And Giggs, if I can find someone, you should have no trouble whatsoever. heli

[my regular valentine is laid up with sciatica watching Kindergarden Cop..we don't really have much for movies, just clarify that choice.]

Are you trying to make your valentine feel worse, tarte? Why not static? Would be much more entertaining.

"Hollywoods" - On my days off, I do permit monitoring for commercial filming to make sure they don't violate the conditions of their permit. No filming in wilderness, pick up their trash, don't disturb natural features, don't stop regular visitor access to public areas, traffic control, mayhem prevention, etc. "Hollywoods" are the photographers, caterers, models, grips, gaffers, PA's, AD's, directors, producers, talent, etc. They can be very pushy. I make them un-pushy.

Hey black pussy cat
Pick me up and rub your nose against mine, my southern wild flower... it’ll make you feel better.

Then I’ll lay in your lap and you can pet me.

It's funny how coming from a cat it's cute, but coming from anyone else it merits a left-handed blessing.

Out-friggin'-standing.

Okay, let's try some whiskey now. Don't bother making it something good, I'll just slam it fast enough so that I wouldn't appreciate it.

Okay! Here's a tray of crystal wine goblets filled with this yummy French wine I picked up this evening. And here's another tray laden with all sorts of delectable bit of chocolate.

Gigs, I didn't really get the whole deal, but it sounds like you're bummed, sorry to hear it!

RG- that was his choice. It was on the same tape with one of the Indiana Jones' movies. He's just on stoned out zoned out mode right now. I don't think it matters much what's on. I tried watching but no.

Okay! So...my house has a workshop, a separate building. The previous owners' wife killed herself in the shop by car exhaust.

[i'll tell this in bits just tp keep you in suspense. Actually it's not scary or anything, just interesting....okay, it's interesting to me, whatever!]

Skeptic alert: be warned that I will try to offer a <gasp> reasonable and scientific explanation.
