How do I cope

With all this gloom and doom I have been spending more time with my friends in on line video games. Escapism at it peak. I have just purchased www.OttawaCanada.ws from Global International Web Sites but have not had time to figure out what kind of business I should be running from my new virtual store. It only costs me $10 a month to play this game and it is just like the real thing.

On a personal level, I can not make up my mind if I should send $1 dollar to jon as an investment in his movie "HowToBoilAFrog" or $1 to Paul to build another solar/thermal collector.

I have a lot of imaginary friends in my virtual world. Avatars like 'the Wiz'. 'guru', 'the joker', 'Mary' and 'Matthew' and the game only has one rule which is pretty easy to remember. -The rule is "There are no rules".

In my space I can have fun and participate in business without Government interference, and without upsetting people who do not want to play. They can just stay in their own real world.

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to."

I know what you mean Chris.

In my world I hang out with my Grandkids and tell them Stories of what it use to be like when they could play down the street with their friends and there friends mom and dad would keep an eye on them, But now it has to be by invatation only and we have to know the Parents.
I hate having to tell them that there are a lot of bad people out there in the world. or why their uncle Mikey has go to another country to fight in a war and hurt people.

I have to use a lot of imagination when talking to them when they ask me the really hard question.

Everybody has an escape. Mine is watching episodes of "The Waltons". I have now collected three seasons 5,6 and 7. My family wasn't exactly like that but the community and the values were the same. It seems to relieve the stress. I recommend it.

Drywaller eh! Pretty nasty stuff working in unheated under construction buildings with no heating and no plumbing. Is it true that you are not accepted by the union until you can use an empty drywall bucket without making mess ?

If your looking to piss your LAST dollar away, don't do it on solar. This is tried and true technology. The Frog cookoff sounds interesting but if you want to see a TRUE waste of your money with ABSOLUTELY NO redeeming value accruing to you, or anyone else for that matter, send it to James Tracy of Enid, OK . Be sure to have him apply it to the Microwave Reprosession Fund. This will assist him in helping to stave off eminent reprocession of his microwave by Sears and Roebuck (yeah, the damn thing is actually that old) and will permit him to contiinue on in the high tech pursuit of microwave induced plasmafication of his garbage.

The neighbors will be eternally gratefull for your commitment to the cause as now they will see a marked decrease in the piles of garbage stacked around his doublewide. (He's been telling the EPA that it is feedstocks for his microwave experiments)

Dueseman who the heck are you? God? You pass judgment on everything, everyone and insult brilliant inventors.What do you know about James Tracy and his invention? Zero.Very obviously zero.About as much as you know about solar energy. zero. What is your contribution to mankind besides your nasty words from your pea brain and smelly polluting diesel trucks that tie my lungs up so I can't breath. Your negativity is not needed. We are looking for solutions and POSITIVE input.Get off your soapbox and deflate your ridiculous ego. You speak like a child. Perhaps you should go fly a kite.

Bad press is better than no press. I would still like to know why he chose 'the mad bomber's police sketch'

Maybe because that is who he is:)

It is spam. Anything that requires money to receive is spam. I get 40 or so a day.

After two months of study I have some theories and a few facts about spam.

The annoying ads for silly products, or the loops that tie up your computer are designed to discourage interest in the stuff. Between the obvious crap there is not so obvious crap that is dispersed over a broad area to conceal the intended recipient.

So why do we need internet security forces? Well it is because all countries have scammers and hackers that prey on commerce. For the most part 'they' are pirates that work independently for their own gains and their home country security people kind of close their eyes when offenses are directed to out of country victims. Yep we are still at war. The people who generate spam have resources that boggle the mind.

I Like That GAME! In fact, I decided to reintroduce Einstein's Theory of E=mc2 as the Smith Corollary which is :
E=mc2-(Fvg+Fva) where Fvg is the gravitational influence on the mass at the point of measurement and Fva is the initial innertia of the mass. It solves the problems of Macro space and enables a ship to travel through Hyper space at some future time. And since singularities can have a nasty impact, I decided to make it possible to go past them and just take their slingshot energy and use it to go faster than the theoretic c2 allows, because time just has to give sometime! And that is what it does, as one travels close enough to smell the Philly cheese on the black h***'s breathe! SO if you are going anywhere the Galaxy's center any time soon, remember to pack up my formula so you can make it back in record time! And good luck with your games! I always love a good game of Chaos. I just have difficulty figuring out when to stop... Thanks for the comic relief during a really bad time of disappointment for me! Hang in there and I'll hold on too!
Just wonder if they serve drinks with that Philly cheese....Gregor Smith gregors@att.net
Let me know what you think of my idea. I am sure Einstein will like it...And if I bend time enough, I'll ask him!
