gee, roger, my friend and I used to go rabbit hunting with 22's back in the late fifties in New Mexico. Sure am glad to see we didn't "shoot" you by accident.

c.i.
All water under the bridge, c.i.
I don't remember seeing any bridges in New Mexico, but then, I'm talking over forty years ago.

c.i.
Not to mention a woman here in my small
town who is referred to (behind her back,
I must admit, by some) as "The Medical
Reporter". If she doesn't have a disease,
of her own, at the present time - then one
of her "dearest" friends or family members
is dying of the most horrible kind of disease
you can imagine. It is TRULY unnerving to
be stuck in the same building with her. AS for
mwa, I would much rather be next to an oddly
drawn bunny rabbit than a humorless old fart!
LOL Babs!
Mr Stillwater - how would I describe my relationship with my mother? Hmmmmmmmmmm.....distant would about do it......she has been dead for 34 years!
Anyway - 'tis you folk who are talking to a Bunny....
Pssssst, Babs - that bunny is bonkers.
Roger - YOU ARE A RAT!!
OR MAYBE A MOUSE !!
So, like, what can YOU say?????
Take a peek in the mirror, dude.
You are a little malformed
deviant animal thing.
Whereas Dlowan is a cute
and charming bunny &
WITH A SENSE OF HUMOR!
(in spite of the cigarrette
smoke, cough cough cough )
Oy! I like Roger's rat!
....and I am soooooooooooo not cute........... but thanks for the defence anyway - roger is being a dirty rat!.....
C.I. Sorry, I sort of just missed the actual
topic .... bunny baiting is just one of the
many acts banned by the Humane Society
and since some kinds of bunny rabbits are
quite a rare and endangered species - we
can't have somebody going postal on us now
can we???

As to your intellectual question about our
yakking our heads off in here....or was it the
question that yakking our heads off in here
MADE US more intellectual - or maybe helped
slow down the death of brain cells - sort of
like the: "If you don't use it, you lose it"
philosophy????
Well, I can safely say that I have been
yakking my head off both here and on Abuzz
and on a few other lovely sites as well and
I can assure you that it has not saved one
single brain cell. It's the aging thing that
causes it. It makes NO difference that I
once knew the chemical structure and could
draw them for you - of all of the major medicinal
groups and classes of all the prescription drugs ...
the fact IS I can't do it now!!! AND I have a feeling
that there is nothing on EARTH that could bring
that kind of information back to me. You know
how it starts... the heart gets a tiny bit older, pumps
not quite as strong... you grow bigger... and the pump
has to work alot harder to get all the way around you...
this not only puts pressure on the pump BUT it also
increases the amount of time that the brain is not
freshly perfused with fresh nice, new oxygen rich blood.
On top of all that, IF you have any history of coronary
artery problems, like atherosclerosis or plaque built up
on the inner walls of your blood vessels - narrowing the
opening's size ..well that just adds to the problem greatly.
That is a simple no brainer .... you just TRY to suck a
milkshake thru a tiny little straw and see what happens.
And on top of that, brain cells can very easily die off
from a little oxygen deprivation. After all, THAT is most
likely the last AND commonest cause of death there is,
regardless of whatever disease or age got you that way.
So, see there - now I have pontificated to the point that
I have now made myself think that I am indeed quite
intelligent once again. So - of course you must be right.
Right?
How about showing a little sympathy for us old farts....
And uh... could somebody pull my finger..??
Jayhawk
Er, take what very seriously?
babs, You're a riot!

But, and there's always a "but." Your contension that just because you can't remember the the chemistry table now doesn't necessarily mean "you've lost it all." Heck, with your kind of intellect, you should have figured that out! You still speak a mean streak....with humor, ofcoarse. As for keeping oxygen fed to your brain, just do like most of us old farts are doing; take baby aspirin every day. I still love milkshake, the chocolate kind, and sometimes I have to suck my brains out to get a little nibble. It only means they're making those milkshakes much thicker. Just use a spoon. LOL c.i.
You guys are really nuts. So, that's healthy. Do you attribute your ability to be crusty to talking on A2K?
Well, I like to talk on these threads. Beats talking to people in this development where Women's Lib has yet to arrive. First, there's the retired military, then there's the Texas men (good old boys) who serve on the Board of our P.O.A.. Good grief, some of the wives never graduated from RMG's -- they still wear BIG HAIR.
But, I keep mentally alert by being ACTIVE. Crap, just let me get down to that barn, bring in that mare, pick her dirty feet and groom her muddy body, put on that saddle, bridle etc. and race across the countryside (English saddle and man do they think that's weird). I love to get all sweaty and dirty, give us both a bath (with hers), then go home, clean myself up, put on my best clothes and go out to dinner and pretend to be feminine. Sometime inbetween or after, I get on the computer with all these wondrous funny people.
Do believe I may have to move from this place though. Maybe it's karma and I'm stuck?
A2K as Purgatory for Texans? Worth a thread on its own
Bit of a misunderstanding here, skip this post folks...
