Windborne — agree with that point, but they specifically modified the machine *knowing what was going on over there and knowing what it would be used for.* Accident or not, they're culpable. The responsible thing to do would be to say to the Israeli Army, "You have the manpower, technology and money, go build your own. We'll have no part of it" and show them the door.

I mean, there's plenty of farms and verifiably safe construction sites that are free of activists. It's not like their CFO would cry at losing a contract like that. Good justice would be to find out how much the company got for building the special machines for the Israeli Army and sue them for about 2-3 times that; that'll make 'em sit up and pay attention.

Oh, bleh. I caught the cold that's been going around. But it's only been a couple days and I'm feeling better. I'm hoping it'll be a short cold.

Looking for new jobs. Other than that ... I'm not doing much right now.

And you?

Lots of jobs in Las Vegas that pay more than $8. Learn to deal blackjack, or work the roulette wheel. $$$$$$$$$

Hey Heli, nice to see you.

I wouldn't mind moving, but I can't afford to right now. I'm staying with the 'rents right now so I can pay off some of my debt.

How are you Heli? Saw a news piece today about Death Valley and all the blooming going on. Too bad I can't visit.

Ten inches of rain when the usual is less than two. Flowers, lots, all gone in a month or two. Then back to nekkid desert.

Drink lots of Echinacea tea. I had a friend of mine get sick last week. First time she’s actually been “can’t move off the couch” sick since she was very little, so she says. I believe it because she was completely without a clue as to what to do. I had to show what teas to drink, what soups tasted good when sick, etc. But then again I’m a sucker for taking care of people when they’re sick. What can I say?
And you?
Oh, pretty much the same ol’ stuff. Working, sleeping, go out and grab a beer every now and then.


hey Heli!!

Hi Black Cat! :)

I'd put you on my buddy list but the manager won't let me. Comes up with a "Are you sure you want to do that?" message and when I press "Yes" it replies with "Contact manager error."

I'll bet anything it's my browser. But, can't upgrade the browser until I upgrade the OS and I can't upgrade the OS until I upgrade the memory. That's in the works.

Oh, I bet some close ups would look really cool. But then again, sometimes memories are the best for stuff like that. Pictures just don’t quite come up to remembering sitting down in them and just being.

Actually, blue there is something new. Did you read the thing earlier in the thread about my friend that got hit by the bus?

Jeez... Makes you remember how fleeting life can be.

Yea, Mike and Erick. Didn't get a whole lot done though. Though I've made a priority list.

Are you still playing around with things on Photoshop?

LeChat, I did read that. Wow, it's amazing he's okay. I'm still riding the high off of my near death experience. It has sure taught me a valuable life lesson.

Z, I'm thinking someone should start working on a logo for our event. That is if we are going to advertise at all. It's something we can start on now. Especially since times a wastin'

I got to say I did rather miss seeing you Blue but I was feeling settled in when it became time to leave for Bob's, and couldn't pry myself out of the house.

I don't think it was really decided yet. I'd like it to die though. It just seems like we made no effort. We are supposed to be creative!

That's okay that you didn't make it. I missed you though. But you'll be there next week right? Hey and maybe we could do something else some time, maybe?

I'd like to do something else with you some time, too.

After some of the e-mails that went around about the date of the event and stuff I started to feel like it really isn't going to happen.

Boo hiss, don't take that attitude. If you do it won't happen for sure. We can be proactive about this. Please don't get down because the the enthusiasm is starting to fade. We just need to get over this hump. I will keep this going if I have to do everything. I can and will drag everybody there if I have too.
