Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 11:45 am  NO ONE VISITED THE HOT TUB ON SATURDAY. PUZZLE 5 DISCUSSION CONTINUES SUNDAY - 10:01AM Zebulon: "Yes, I was way off track. What type of book would make a person happy that it was boring and innaccurate? Ugh I posted 2 more questions and will hold off until everyone gets here to discuss it. I'll try to check back as much as I can, ok? Himay10ns: " I'm here and the clock is ticking. We've only got about 4 1/2 hours to solve this one. Anybody else around?? OK, think about this. Mr. Jones drives 100 miles to the nearest bookstore. He must really, really live in a secluded area. I don't know that I've ever been anywhere in the US that is 100 miles from a bookstore! So think about where he lives and what he could possibly do for a living. Talisker: "I am here. . . May! That is a great insight - maybe he lives in Alaska? Or the great white North? Maybe we need to request more time. I checked in last night but you two were in here making sweet talk and didn't want to disturb you. But, we were waiting for Big H to give us answers to our questions. What kind of book is badly written? Boring? Not accurate? But you like what it says anyways? Roger_Ramjet: " Hello all, I see you guys have been working on this. Anyone else been around yet? Sorry my thought ended up being wrong--I thought maybe he read something else rather than the book to find out about it. Himay10ns: " Hi, Tali! Damn I'm glad you're here...I was starting to think I was going to have to do this alone... Ok, Mr. Jones is an escaped convict and the book details his escape and ends by saying he's dead. He is pleased because he's alive and knows they aren't looking for him anymore because they think he's dead. Or, Mr. Jones is a gold miner and the book details the location of his gold mine. He's pleased because the author is wrong and no one will be able to find his gold mine from reading the book. I know these aren't the answers, but talking outloud may help others to think. MAY: "Hi Roger! We need to think of some more questions to ask. I think we're being too conservative. We only have 4 hours left. Any ideas? Roger_Ramjet: " May--what you are doing is exactly whant needs to be done---talking aoutloud with ideas--any ideas. Taht usualy spawns others to think of ideas--big snow ball!! I wrote some questions to consider at 11:14 pm (archived now) concerning information in the puzzle that is of value or not. Just another way to approach it. Hi Tali, May, Zeb--- Himay10ns: "I guess since he thinks the book is inaccurate, it must be non fiction. What types of nonfiction books are out there? Book of Maps/Atlas Self Help How To Books Cookbooks Encyclopedia Dictionary Trivia Cartoon Roger_Ramjet: "Oops, didn't think to use a simple tool--her are the questions I thought of last night to use. Again, kind of shot gun in nature--although since our approach hadn't gotten us too fra, I switched gears. Is the fact that the book is poorly written an important factor in why he is pleased with his purchase? Is the fact that the book is boring an important factor in why he is pleased with his purchase? Is the fact that the book is inaccurate an important factor in why he is pleased with his purchase? Is the relationship of the author to Mr. Jones an important factor in why he is pleased with his purchase? Thes are direction lead type questions Answers are in!!! The book was written by someone he knows---the rest were no answers!! Ok, now we have a direction?? I posed awhile back that his ex wrote it, and since it's not a good book, and they aren;t married, maybe he's happy she wrote a crappy book?? Himay10ns: " I wrote this earlier too, maybe he's happy because his ex wrote the book and she's going to make tons of money and he won't have to pay alimony anymore. Roger I'm going to ask if the author is Mr. Jones wife/exwife. Does that sound OK? Arreal: "The book is a biography about someone he knows and he is pleased it is innaccurate. Maybe Mr. Jones is an author and has accurate info and intends to write a similar book. His would sell better if it wasn't boring???? or innaccurate. Roger_Ramjet: "We had the same basic premise--just different reasons for why he was happy. LOL! How would you feel about me asking: Is the author a relative to Mr. Jones (including a previous realtive, such as an ex-wife)?? Hi Arreal--glad you joined in. You have a point--hell at this point, it seems like it could be anything. lol May--our questions are same in nature--do we go for specific, or broad?? Himay10ns: Ok, ask yours first. If the answer is yes, we'll ask if it's his wife. Arreal: "Tali, I like the term ArRealPrincess, that was nice. My daughter ArReal was in fact in a pageant called the Miss Washington Princess Pageant. She was 10th out of 208 girls. Not bad for a first pageant. I like the questions you posed Roger, the sound great. I like the idea that perhaps the book is from an ex-. I also think it would be worth a question to find out if Mr. Jones is an author...but hey, I'm biased. UPDATE ON QUESTIONS ASKED: Was there something of value inside the book that he might have found? - NO Was the book written by someone Mr. Jones knows? Yes Does the book hold some sort of rare value? No Is the author a relative to Mr. Jones (including a previous realtive, such as an ex-wife)?? |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:07 pm  ZEB HAS POSTED TWO NEW JOKES IN THE IMPROV AREA. CONTINUATION OF PUZZLE DISCUSSION -- 11:29 AM Roger_Ramjet: "Question asked---May, get yours ready in the event the answer is yes. Should we discuss possibilities if it isn't a relative or former relative while waiting for the answer?? Friend, ex/current co-worker, teacher, boss?? Shit, (ed note: Host or Admin - can we have a clipart for that word) just trying anything right now. Arreal, yours could still be in there--an rival author. Arreal: "You guys are doing great. we still have time. Himay10ns: "Business partner? Or maybe one of his own children? I keep checking back to the question to see if BigHost has answered yet. I wish everyone else was here. We need as much help as we can get if we want to have the answer by 3:00. Roger_Ramjet: " Looks like you are still there! Keep them coming--as we get them, and if the answer is no, we have something to work with quickly---although his own kids would be a relative, and would be appropriate if the answer is yes. Also, we could ask the 3 questions about the reasons the book seems to be a bad one, to see if any can be thrown out/not worried about for future thoughts?? Just talking out load like you were---it really does help Or out loud!!! "out load"---LMAO!! trying type as fast as I can think---hell I can't type--bad idea to try and put any speed to it!! May--I remember you saying you haven't had any outside contact in any way? I'm the same way! Do you think there is any advantage to having outside contact, assuming you play the game based on who you are, and not change to fit what everyone wants?? TALISKER MEANWHILE POSTS HER RESPONSE TO THE NEW DISCUSSION TOPIC ABOUT DOMESTIC ABUSE (ed note: will not post it here. Go to The Game - Play Room: General Discussions: Topic #6 - Domestic Abuse ) Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 11:43 am |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:12 pm  PLAY ROOM REQUESTS -- Roger_Ramjet Saturday, October 14, 2000 - 12:33 am We need a player profile for Tali that is what Gail wants for herself. (instead of the one for Ryder--unless it was based on Gail) Talisker Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 11:50 am Get real Roger! Do you think I am really like that?? Ha - well, maybe a little of the flirty stuff - just for you guys in here - (wait til you see what I did in the redroom) Is there where we make requests? If so - Big H - we need more time for the challenge about the guy with the book. Give us a break! T'wasn't our fault that you took the night off Friday and made us wait for answers. T'wasn't our fault that we posted a few questions yesterday and didn't get answers til the wee hours of the night after some of us went to bed. While you were out and about, we were pacing back and forth looking for answers. Can't continue in this kind of challenge til we know if we are on the right track. So, how about it Big H - can we have an extension?? Pretty please? |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:32 pm  THE LIVING ROOM Roger_Ramjet Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:00 pm Hey Tali--over here! "Get real"?? I never said you were like anything!! I asked for a jnew profile, with updated information IF what was provided was differrent because you posed as Ryder, not Gail. If things are the same, then no additional information needed---and I did NOT say you were a tease/flirt like that in real life!! You had already indcated that, so I am accepting that at face value. (for the record, I know you are doing it for the game, based on your information). For the record, I am real. Should you have some issue oriented dicussion concerning thsi, I would enjoy getting your concerns about me taken care of. I'm hoping to hear from you face to face. AND BACK TO PUZZLE DISCUSSION -- Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 11:56 am MAY: "You are correct, I have not had any outside contact. I'm not real sure what is going on out there. And I don't know what info that I could get my hands on that would HELP me play the game any better. I guess the only thing that bothers me is that if some of the other players are talking to each other outside of the board and are strategizing or forming alliances, that would really piss me off. In the BB house, everyone had their OWN strategy. I think it should be the same in here. Tali, that's a good point. (ED: responding to Tali's comment about having to wait so long for answers.) And we are sitting here waiting again! It's been a 1/2 hour since we posted our last question. We're just burning daylight. OK, the answer is NO. The author is NOT a relative of Mr. Jones. But he does KNOW the author. Now who could it be? Roger_Ramjet: "Time to come up with an approach. May--in areal BB house, they could talk between themselves and set up alliances without the other HGs knowing--although the ourside world would know. So, from our perspective, that option is taken away, where in a real house, it could happen. lol Ok, do we focus on the 3 apsects of the book, or on who the author is in terms of Mr. Jones, or do we ask if each is an important factor in the raeson Mr. Jones is pleased (when it seems he shouldn't be.?? Himay10ns: " Neighbor, friend, co-worker, enemy, lover, business partner, teacher, boss, rival author, his doctor, his banker, his dentist, his accountant, his lawyer, his pastor, his vet....what are your thoughts? Roger_Ramjet: "I'd like to ask about the issues being of importance--it might save us some time, although would take a couple of questions--trade off time maybe?? Tali--do you have an angle you feel best about going for??? Talisker: " HOw about: Is Mr Jones the author of the book?? I didn't see that question asked - or did I miss it?? Roger_Ramjet: " Hey anyone else (BGs) out there just looking?? We could use your help! Come on folks, please. Tali--good question--I'll check! Arreal: " please ask if Mr. Jones is an author. Talisker: "Just checked! We have a little extra time! Probably won't need it but just in case: MESSAGE FROM HOST Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:09 pm Board Guests - as requested, we will grant you an extension on Challenge # 5, due to the fact that the Host has not been available to answer your questions in a reasonable amount of time. Your final answer must be posted no later than 7:00 p.m. PST Monday. Also, a reminder that the live chat will be held from 7:00 - 7:30 p.m. PST Monday at which time you will be advised whether you were successful on Challenge # 5, and the banished player will be announced. This will be a chat with you Players only. Spectators will be invited to come in and listen, but not participate. Himay10ns: "Tali, that's a good question. I mentioned it way up in the thread. Xenia came back and said why would he think a book he wrote himself was boring, inaccurate and poorly written. Roger_Ramjet: "That has been brought up before (that possibility). Extension has been granted--till 7:00 pm Monday. Same time that our chat starts. Talisker: "Maybe he wanted it to be bad - I don't know - maybe it is about an ex wife or something. We will have to wait to see if he wrote it first and then go from there. Himay10ns: "Whew! We have another day to work on it! I'm going to go take a nap! I say go ahead and ask if he's the author. At least we'll know. Talisker: "Okay - I will go in and ask that - then I think I will eat and go rollerblading for a while Roger_Ramjet: "I asked if he's the author--time to wait for an answer. Tali--will you take a second to cover someting in the living room while we are waiting? |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:47 pm  LIVING ROOM -- Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:23 pm Talisker: "Sorry - i was kidding thought I put enough smiley faces in there to look like it. Guess I should have said I was kidding earlier - sorry - someone tried to take away my sense of humor and I am just starting to get it back - you probably thought it was the sad me that posted that. No I am mostly back to my teasing, flirting self - or I will be when I eat and rollerblade some more. Roger_Ramjet: "Tali--I juts checked to confirm---it was a shocked face, not a smiley face. Along with your words, I didn't take it as kidding. If it was kidding, then I have no problems. Can you see where I would have gotten that you weren't kidding??? (I saw no other smiley faces in the message when you were speaking about me) Talisker: "I didn't put much because I was in there making a request to Big H - Didn't want an evil moderator to come along and give me the business for being off topic! I saw your request and thought it was funny that anyone would think that was me - I guess I can see how it would be perceived as real (in here) but in truth, who in the world likes Hee Haw reruns? (Is there anyone old enough besides you and me and Vykin to know what Hee haw was? ) I will go ahead and see if I can do a new profile - just for you I just figured I am on my way out, didn't want to give the viewers more ammo against me. TALISKER THEN PROCEEDS TO PLAYROOM REQUEST AREA AND ASKS: "Big H? Roger wants to know if I can post a new profile - something more along the lines of who I really am? Can I??" BACK TO PUZZLE DISCUSSION Talisker: "Okay - Roger already asked. I would like to know if the book is fiction or non fiction or if it matters. Roger_Ramjet: "You would have to ask that in two questions if you wanted ot know all 3 pieces of informtaion--at leats I think you would? <scratching head> Arreal: "have we gotten any further yet? Roger_Ramjet: "Ok, head count time, please. Who do we have that can work on the puzzle at this time?? We know Tali will return after eating/exercise. Do we need to work on the puzzle, or should we wait till this afternoon to see if others can join in?? Lots of puzzles! Still waiting on answers to questions #9 and #10 Se my above post. (everyone) Arreal, how is the computer repair going? May, your computer isn't broken--feel good about that!! lol Arreal: "I see you all have this under control... Keep up the good work..." |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 01:30 pm  PUZZLE DISCUSSION CONTINUES -- Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:37 pm MOONDANCE: "Hi Roger... I have been reading and playing catch up... is it as simpile as this is a competitor of Mr. Jones so he is happy that the book stinks? Roger_Ramjet: "Arreal---it would seem we don't have much at all under control! Are you going some place??(leaving us for awhile?) Moon--at lest for us, it isn't too simple yet. I hope we are getting to that pont though! Did you see that we were granted an extension?? Traffic has been light so far today. We do, after all have real lives!! Well, except for me! LOL May, are you still here?? Talisker: " The answers have been posted! Mr Jones is not the author - but he is an author of similar books Roger - left you another answer in the living room. Wow Moon, when you say it like that, it does seem pretty simple, doesn't it?? Roger_Ramjet: "Holy jumping up and down Martha---we would have made the 3:00 time!! Ok, so, we have a clear road here!! Oh, Tali--I saw that. Thanks (warm smile)I flirted back with you--maybe it will be obvious, maybe not. Moon, Arreal, I know it was one of your two who said this quite awhile back. Hats off to you. I was thinking it was Arreal, but not sure right now. Just want to give credit where it's due!! Does anyone want to ask any more questions or do you think this is the answer. Hell, we could ask if that is the answer!! Host would have to say yes or no. Talk about making sure--hey having questiosn keft to ask means extra cushion to be sure. Anyone?? |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 01:43 pm  THE LIVING ROOM Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 12:43 pm ROGER: "My parents like Hee Haw, and the reruns. Gues what that meant for me, since it was their TV! Since I don't know anything about you from other posts outside, or about how you were to approach "posing" in here (or if you were supposed to "pose"), I didn't have a clue. In honesty, I thought it was a way for you to show us wahtever you wanted us to really see--as you stated in the two messages you let us see that you really juts wanted to be you. I wanted to know what that was IF it wasn't already that way--IF is the operative thought there. I figured maybe you were being Tali as you would have done it if we knew you were Gail to begin with. Shit, I'm not making any sense to you, I guess. It was a positive request on my part. (please at least believe that) Talisker: "Okay Roger - I believe you - I made the request to Big H to see if I can do a new profile. In the meantime, to clear some things up . . . I really was in the US Air Force - 22 years and I started out doing Aircraft Maintenance for the first 3 1/2 years. 2+ years as a crew chief with my own plane (RF4C) meaning I took care of it. Then I spend another year in Korea working crash recovery and repair on larger items like landing gear, etc as well as flight control issues. I loved the Air Force but got a bit tired of the constant male/female issues (women aren't good enough . . blah, blah , blah) when in fact they were/are. Many people I know got out after 4 years, I opted to stay in and retrain. Worked with mainframe computers after that - Burroughs, Spherry, Unisys, etc. Loved doing that - it more more of the kind of thing I am suited for - having to make quick decisions all the time and figuring out what makes things work better. I retired from the air force because it stopped being fun! My philosophy (I think this is in my profile on outer boards) is if you are not having fun, walk away. In this case I made it a permanent decision to which I had no regrets. all the places I have listed are places I have been. I have been to more places but didn't list all of them. I did live in France when I was younger too. Had to leave when Charles DeGaulle asked us (the US) to leave. I do have three dogs - three cairn terriers and I live with them in Colorado - out in the middle of nowhere on 2 1/2 acres that I mow with my tractor mower. These days, I work as a network administrator/helpdesk person for a nice little network of 70 or so people and computers. I play the guitar, pool (8 ball) and the piano. I love building puzzles, rollerblading, walking, watching movies, cooking, etc. I drive a Toyota Rav 4 and yes, the picture I submitted is me. I am guessing there are a few people out there who have enlarged it for their dartboards. Okay - no more - it is starting to sound like an ad in the personals . . . Roger_Ramjet: "Thanks Tali--I am not one of those who has enlarged your picture...for darts. (See, I can tease back!) This helps me with interacting with you, just like the information on the other BGs helps me interact with them. While it may not feel like it to you, I consider you on equal terms with the rest. I had no issues if they wanted ot throw a mole in--that isn't your fault! (not their's eith--just an approach to take with the game). As cold as it sounds, I'm in here to attempt to win (I've never played a game to try and lose). While I have gotten close to many through intreacting, the banishment process is part of the game, and I've nominated people I really like (or would if they were the way they are in here),a nd figure I will have to do so again. That is what's s cool about the concept of BB--you end up geting to know others, (sometimes well), yet have to play the game and vote for them. I just don't take or make it pseronal on the voting. Two separate isue for me (it has to be, or I could be in here) Talisker: "Good to know I am not on your dartboard Roger! I actually like (and am amazed at) how realistic this all feels here. I am not here to win (can't win - it's a rule) - just to play the game the best I can and to learn what we can do later to make it better experience for both for the players and the viewers the next time. As any of the others know, it is very different here - unless you are actually playing the game - you won't know what it is actually like unless you play. I figure I will get to be a viewer later this week after I get the boot and see what it really looks like out there. Next time, hopefully Big H will have someone to ask questions to for sealing up some of the leaks, gaps, ect to help make this a "truer" experience for the players. I know that there are some holes that need plugging. My first suggestion is I would like to see the next time be where everyone is totally anonymous from each other - just like the show. Like see the applications get emailed in and the selections made and new user names created without anyone in the game or outside of it knowing who is who. Then there would be the added fun of really trying to get to know each other - not just playing the match game with 10 users and 10 players like we did. Would be more interaction that way I think. I feel like people here knew each other from the board - many did, anyways. Being strangers would have another unknown dimension to factor in. Vykin: Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 01:33 pm "afternoon roger, tali. I don't know why, but I ws up early today, and back asleep by noon. So I just came back on, though yawning as I attempt to "refocus". I stopped by the challenge and see we have a extension. Good I need to absorb the answers and think a bit. I see Arreal got a yes to one of the questions. This is a "stumper" was sure it was a farmer who bought the almanac. Perhaps it was a similar riddle I've seen before. I'm gonna go check out the general discussions, have to post my material possession etc. Talisker: "Howdy Vykin! Nice to see you too - we are like ships passing in the night - I am heading out to do some rollerblading and then make something to eat. See you later? |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 02:07 pm  PUZZLE DISCUSSION -- 01:30 pm TALISKER: "Good idea Roger! Can't hurt to ask the question. Still here but ready to head out for a bit to skate and eat. (Reminds me of moderator days - keep trying to go and don't, then can't) Okay I am out - will be back later. Moondance: "Hey Roger ... go ahead and post that question... as far as credit... I will say it takes "special" people sometimes PUZZLE DISCUSSION Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 01:47 pm MOONDANCE: "Okay, I asked the question "Is the author a competitor of Mr. Jones"... we'll see Roger_Ramjet: "It's a Yes! NEW QUESTIONS POSTED: Is the author a relative to Mr. Jones (including a previous realtive, such as an ex-wife)?? - NO Is Mr. Jones the author of the book? - NO Is Mr. Jones an author with more accurate information on the subject of the book than the author of the book he just purchased and read? YES Is the author of the book a competitor of Mr. Jones? - YES VYKIN VISITS THE INTERNET CAMERA: Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 01:36 pm "Hi outside world, just woke up, saw a new banner. Thanx to TVFC whoever you are (seriously I haven't a clue), but thanx regardless, was a nice thought. THEN THE HOT TUB "Hmm no one in here, I think I'll soak a bit, I feel this big tension knot in my neck and shoulder, probably from "talktyping" so much. I'm just gonna sit here and relax a bit before I walk around the house. ROGER DROPS INTO THE LIVING ROOM Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 01:42 pm Hey Vyk--welcome to the world of the living! LOL It looks like we are close to having the puzzle figure out. Not a lot of people around yet today--at least not at one time. hehe I owe a couple of discussion topics an answer--I'm not looking forward to that passion one though, juts because I know how I can get into that! So much so say, and feel so strong about it. Probably too much to read for most--the idea isn't to write a book, although that's what I've got for the issue. I owe for the perfect mate one as well. |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 02:17 pm  PUZZLE DISCUSSION DEVIATES FOR AWHILE: ROGER ASKS MOONDANCE ABOUT HER SPECIAL PEOPLE COMMENT. "Ok, let me in on this "special" inside joke. I'm in the dark. (I mean about his "inside" thing sepecifically----the fact I'm in the dark in general is another discussion) I don't have to be part of the "secret hand shake", just want to understand it. MOONDANCE REPLIES: "Arreal called herself special in a couple of threads on the outside and I have had similiar problems so we call each other 'special'... no secret most people know this that read the depression thread on Josh ROGER: "It would appear that while I posted on the BB topics, I didn't get to know you guys like I have in here. There, I pretty much kept to topics, and had never interacted with anyone on a level other than what was going on with BB. Thanks for explaining that. It helps in that I learn more about you. As long as I'm here, I should take every opportunity to do so. It's my nature. I ask questions of people as part of my way of learning. btw, I asked a question about if we'd win if we provided a specific answer. Just in case... This one provided us a little more jumping around to different ideas. Hey, Moon, other than dance class, do you take any acting classes?? MOON REPLIES: "Yes... my acting class is tomorrow night and I am taking my laptop, sneaking out at 7:00 for the chat!!!! |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 02:42 pm  PUZZLE CHALLENGE QUESTIONS 11 & 12 Is the author of the book a competitor of Mr. Jones? - YES If we posted in the answer section; "Mr. Jones is pleased that the book is poorly written, boring, and inaccurate because a competitor wrote the book" would we win the challenge? PUZZLE DISCUSSION AREA Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 02:10 pm MOON: "Roger, what do you do...What is your line of work? ROGER: " While we are waiting for an answer to my bold question, wold you evaluate something for me from your experience and personal opinion. Jamie--she wants into the business. I didn't see a lot of potential from her while in the house--although I'm not tuned into what those in the business consider great potential (in other words my opinion was competelely without knwoledge basis). She also seemed to not want to make a lot of effort--like take classes, go to school in a major related to acting, etc. As someone in the middle of the industry, what is your informed/knowledge based opninion of her situation , potential, and approach she seems to take. Not a Jamie hater or Jamie lover--just a portion I have no knowledge of, and see you as someone who can provide me a little education. ARREAL COMES IN AND SAYS THANKS TO MOON. Moondance: "Roger .. I have some opinions on this... I will meet you in the livingroom, okay? I also want to know more about you! Roger_Ramjet: "Hey Arreal--you're back! How is the compter repair going?? Moon, I won't ignore your question about what I do--was just going to wait to have you answer--or since you asked first, do I have to go first! haha Moon, Arreal, Vyk--when you get here--to the living room?! (everyyone else is of course invited too when you get here ROGER'S BOLD PUZZLE QUESTION AND THE ANSWER: If we posted in the answer section; "Mr. Jones is pleased that the book is poorly written, boring, and inaccurate because a competitor wrote the book" would we win the challenge? NO - EXPAND FAVORITE WEBSITE AREA Moondance: "Zeb ... I have always loved the Hamster dance!!! I forgot about this web page... thanks for posting it... now we have a mascot! Vykin: "Zeb I cracked up ROFLMAO with your hamster dance! (then my son heard the music and came in my office and says: Oh No NOT THE HAMPSTER DANCE?) So I laughed some more. Roger do u have a site? If anything at least put a link to a site or two that you like Roger_Ramjet: "No, I don't have one. If you look at May's site, there is a bunch of links for the various BG which are supposed to be fan sites. Mine links to Snaves (the same one as listed for Snave next to it)!!! I fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard...tears were rolling down my face. I don't think I'll end up with anything for a site listing--including one that I like. I hope that I can communicate that information as we go along!! I'd rather look at the ones you guys include. REDROOM DISCUSSION POSTINGS AT THIS TIME FOR ZEB AND TALI. (ED: Am not posting them) |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 02:45 pm  Going to watch The Sixth Sense. Will be back in a couple of hours. |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 05:19 pm  PUZZLE CHALLENGE -- 02:32 pm Zebulon: "Hi all. I can only stay a sec, but I'll be back this evening. I wanted to make sure we got through the challenge. My latest guess is that Mr. Jones is an author that writes biographies. Maybe another author wrote a biography on the same person Mr. Jones did and Mr. Jones' book was more accurate. What do you think? If it's not that, then I have no idea. Maybe it has something with him having to drive 100 miles. That seems odd unless being an author, he lives out in the middle of nowhere. Roger_Ramjet thanks Zeb for posting. Moondance: "Expanded What do you think of this? "Mr. Jones is pleased that the book is poorly written, boring, and inaccurate because a competitor wrote the book" Andhe has a book coming out that will do well because it proves his competitor wrong or is over all better. Roger_Ramjet: "Moon, you can post that one. I don't know if they were looking for the specifics such as what Zeb asked about, as well as what you have said. If you post, we still have questions left after yours and Zeb's. What can it hurt!!! btw, I'm looking forward ot hearing about what you have to say to my question! Arreal: "EXACTLY what I was thinking Moon, his book is due to hit the book stores soon and will be a bigger seller!!!! Kudos Roger, the computer is no longer in my home, but hopefully we will have answers about it tomorrow. MOON goes to post the question. Roger_Ramjet: "Moon, Arreal, back to the LR till we hear back from Host?? (that discussion we were going to have) Vykin - 03:05 pm MOON, ROGER, ARREAL Good questions! Roger says: "Zeb, not me! Arreal and Moon too! NEW PUZZLE CHALLENGE QUESTIONS SUBMITTED: Does Mr. Jones write Biographies? If we posted in the answer section: Mr. Jones is pleased that the book is poorly written, boring, and inaccurate because a competitor wrote the book Andhe has a similiar book coming out that will do well because it proves his competitor wrong and/or is over all better. Would we win the challenge? Is Mr.Jones pleased with his purchase because it confirms his hope that the book he wrote on the same subject will be a bigger and better seller than his competitor's? |

Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 05:43 pm  LIVING ROOM --- 02:59 pm ROGER arrives: "I'm here... Talisker: "I am in the general area - I am back from rollerblading but still working on making dinner - and eating, etc. Vykin: "I have to grab something to eat shortly too talis, but will stay on for now. Roger looks like the challenge is getting somewhere, Finally. "I wonder if Mr. Jones has a "lovely daughter" (lol just a bit of humor) Roger_Ramjet Asks if anyone else is there. Moon and Tali say they will be back. They both have to do Red Room visits. Vykin says he does too. Moon returns at 4:00PM "LOL... we posted that at the same time... I can answer your question now Roger_Ramjet: "Hehe--post at same time yep, here -cool, I'm looking forward to your thoughts and feelings Moondance: "It was a good question and I remember answering a similar one on the board during BB... In any profession, goal or in life in general; one shouldn't ever think that there is nothing more to learn. The more you know the more tools you have to work with. Jamie is a beautiful girl with some goals but IMO her intentions are a bit clouded by the 'glamour' of the business. Often when that happens, an actor will make some bad discussions on their way if that is their intention. I feel the true passion and talent comes out once you have to perform. Sure, it takes luck, knowing the right people etc... but no matter how you get there, you must have something to sustain your position. I think this is true in life. A person is attracted to someone but if there is no substance then the likelihood of it lasting is minimal. On the flip side ... if one takes class or classes and thinks that is enough to make it then they fall into that trap. I know a lot of actors that take class after class and do not understand why they are not a working actor ... well you have to go out and use what you have spent so much time learning! Back to the question on Jamie ... my opinions on her...I hope she has changed her mind about classes. She will find out soon enough it takes more than she thinks. I still think she will want it though ... her intentions hopefully will change too. It's not about fame & fortune ... it is about working in a something that you love… Sure ... you have quite a few people out there with those same intentions (fame & fortune) and make it big but if you really look at those actors ... they don't stick around too long. JMO Roger_Ramjet: "Thanks for providing your insights, and your personal experience to give me a look at her situation (and that of an approach to things in general--that is one I have thoughts on as well) My opinions about her and the situation she wanted had no basis to back it up--the most flimsy of opinions---although you know what they say about opinions... opinions are like ass holes; everyone has one, and everybody's stinks but your own. lol btw, that last comment was not an indication of your opinion Moon. It's somethng I think of everytime I hear someone's opinion--it helps me to remember not to discount what someone said just because they don't agree with me! Kind of a "everyone else counts as much as I do" perspective. Moondance: "LOL... opinions So What about you.... tell me what your line of work is Roger: "My line of work--well my job is to assist the company I work for to manage it's hazardous waste as compliantly and cost affectively as possible. My role in that has a number of duties. Our company does R&D work, so we have lots of dirrerent waste issues. I work in a Part B permitted hazardous waste storage facility (called a TSDF in the business). I lead the company's waste designation program. Designating waste is a process of compairing what's in the waste and the process that created it to the regulations to determine if it meets the definition of a hazardous waste, then assign the correct codes. As part of that we also assign storage locatiosn withinour facility (and the other facility we use for storage), and to assign all DOT (Deprtament of Transportation) information. I am also what is called the SME (subject matter expert) for the DOT regulations when it comes to packaging an shipping waste. I am also one of 4 trnasportation officers for our company of 3,500 at this loaction--I have the authorization to ship anything under the DOT regulations, including radioactive material of any type. I am the person in our facility who knows the regulations for PCBs--I also know the haz waste regs "pretty well". One of my major basic duties is a "shell answer man" (old TV commercial)--I get paid to answer questions about waste regaultions, shipping/packaging regulations, and just about anything to do with managing waste. Another thing I do is to teach anyone and everyone I work with about all of these things. I don't give them the answers when I'm asked a question. They have to tell me what they think the answer is, why they think it, etc. If they aren't right, I ask questions to get then to think and to look in the right place. I don't "give them a fish"--I "teach them to fish". I get called a lot of names by my co-workers, although they keep coming back with questions, so they must want to learn more than be fed. My goal is to have them know everything I know--and through the way I learned it--through looking at things and doing the work. Even though I'm more of a admin type (at least by my title and pay)I still go collect waste, package waste, help with shipments--get my hands dirty. It helps me relate the regs to the work. I also deal with the explosives and reactive chemicals we get as waste. My experience and training allows me to take that extra duty on. I figure out how to make somerthing as safe as poosble for handling, moving, packaging, shipping, etc. There are some things we get that are caled "DOT fobidden" material--things that are so reactive or sensitve that they can't be shipped in the form they are in. I get to change all that. Also I look for ways to make it cost less for such items. I also am one of the ones that deals with spills. Well, that's an outline of what I do at work. I still have all of my body parts connected, which I consider a very good thing! Luke: "So you get stuck playing the piano all day long, and the entire world changes on you! I feel like i've been gone 1000 years! Is anyone in here? Moondance: "Wow Roger ... Thanks for the description ... what a responsibility!!! Not only do you deal with the dangerous side of it, you also do the administration side ... but that might get dangerous too! Do you think Al Gore has a better perspective on waste disposal than GW Bush? Just curious... To Luke -- Hey sweetness... welcome back!!!! Luke: "Ugh what a weekend... how's everyone doing? first thing--die ArReal leave? Roger_Ramjet: "Well, Texas has a 15 mile strip of undustrial area that is one of the most polluted places in the nation. Of course it was that way long before he was in office. I think Gore has it as a higher priority (the environment in general I mean). Of course not much has been done to change the biggest problems in that area. Superfund monies over the past 15 years has gone to lawyers for the most part--little of it has been used to actaully clean up sites! And there is the business of walking a line that allows for business to succeed and stil do the right thing. In the end, that will cost you and I exrta money--although not much of a choice. I admit that I really love my job. I don't mean like it a lot. I have a true love for it. All of my extra hours (well not all) are my doing--I don't do it for the company. I do it because I want to. I admit to liking to make a diffence--of some kind. Although what I do and who I am are two different things!! lol I get paid money for doing something I love--I find that so cool. Luke!!!! Hey, how ya doing! Zebulon: "Roger, where exactly is this 15 mile strip? Just curious. Luke: "I just popped in here so that you guys won't think I fell off the face of the earth... er... this board... As a church musician, this weekend was filled with services and weddings...I feel like i've been gone a million years... I have one more commitment (for which I'm late already), and then i'll be chattin later this evening for the rest of the night... is eveyrone fine in here? Zebulon: "I noticed we had a new Discussion topic. Luke: "Weekends are the pits for me... they're the hardest... not only is my day packed, but i'm in the car going from city to city all over northern california... the price I pay for music... hehehe Zebulon: "I'm doing great. That challenge is starting to become a pain in the ass, though. I hope we are close to a solution. Luke: "Domestic abuse... oh no... i'm not going to start that right now... I'd be talking for hours... don't even want to look at it right now... too loaded a topic... Roger_Ramjet: "Zeb--I think we are closing in on it--and we get till 6:00 pm tomorrow Luke: "Roger--yeah... sorry we just missed each other the other night... i'm up for tonite if you are... just gotta get through one more dinner commintment and then I'm ALL OVER these boards... anyone else up for a LNC? (late night conversation) Zebulon: "Roger, where is that 15 mile strip of waste-filled land? INTERNET CAMERA -- 3:55PM TALISKER says "I was thinking I really could use some ruffles. |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 05:55 pm  LIVING ROOM CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE -- Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 05:29 pm Roger: "Zeb, are you familiar with a place called Deer Park?? It's that location. We send PCB waste to a dispoal facility that has an EPA permit for a PCB incenirator. It's one of the cleaner parts of the area from what the folks down there say. Location sound familiar at all??? Zeb--additional information--from what the folks in that area say, it isn't the waste business that causes the big chunk of pollution--or caused--it's the oil business?? Talisker: "Hi Luke! Nice to see you could pop in - missed you. I am afraid I won't be up for anything too late night - My house is a mess and I need to get it cleaned up before I go to bed. Purposely didn't take a nap today so I could try to sleep good tonight. Moondance: "Roger... Thanks for you thoughts on the waste/Gore issue... Congrats... I said it before, it is a blessing to have a job you love and are passionate about... Luke, sounds like you have had a crazy weekend... glad to see you back! Zeb ... think we feel the same about the Domestic issue I think that covered everybody Hi Tali!!! Roger_Ramjet: "Moon, is acting your main profession, or do you have something else that helps pay the bills?? (I don't know how successful you are in the business) Tali--was there any place you didn't like when you were overseas in the AF?? I was wondering, because I didn't like where I was--I'm hoping not everyone has a bad experience. Moondance: "If I work (no matter what I make) and do my passion... I call that success I also am a private exercise trainer... I work people out in the homes. Zebulon: "Moon... It's a tough issue, but unless someone had ESP, I don't see how that particular tragedy cold have been prevented...aside from the initiative of the husband and wife to go to therapy. Roger... Yes, Deer Park sounds familiar. I'm going to find out what part of Texas that is in now. |

Talisker: "I don't know - I didn't even know that I had a page (but I sure appreciate the person who went through all that trouble on my behalf) - just seems like maybe Roger should have a page that is his own - not Snave's page. Does anyone else here not have a page?? I didn't check all the links up there - just Roger's because he said his was snaves. Just seems like when we were in the chat room last week, there were throngs of women screaming Roger's name. Figured one of them would have made him up a page. Love the hampsters - they're cute! Okay Roger! If you really, really do not want a fan page, I won't do it. Just want you to know that I would have done it though!! Roger_Ramjet: "Tali--I believe you, and really do appreciate the thought. I'd rather have some good chocolate!! Besides, are you sure you are going?? Xenia seems to think she is as well. Only 1 person goes. And others are up as well!!! Ya just never know till after it's over. Again, thanks for the thought---and after all isn't that really the important thing--that you thought to do something nice for someone. Talisker: "I like chocolate too!! Not a lot - just a little here and there - I like those little Dove Milk Chocolates you can get. Or better - those Toblerone candy bars from Europe . . . or Swiss milk chocolate is nice too. ooohh - stop me!! I had dinner about an hour ago and could use something sweet right now. . . |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 06:31 pm  BACK TO THE LIVING ROOM -- 05:52 pm ROGER: "I just checked---no answers to our last 3 questions posted. Talisker: "Roger - I think I loved every place I was overseas. I was only in Korea for a year - that was enough so you don't get too sick of it I think. I don't know why but I love being in other countries. I love the food, the people, the scenery, everything. Don't get me wrong, I am always happy to get back to the states but there is so much to see in other parts of the world. I try to find fun things to do when I am overseas. Like in Korea, I took photography classes and went out taking pictures all the time. The scariest place I have been is Singapore - they have some pretty strict rules there. Jaywalking is NOT allowed there. I don't think they cane you for it, but it is forbidden. Also, I don't think you can chew gum in the subways. Seriously!! Also, if you get caught NOT flushing a toilet, you can get a ticket - May? You might want to stay away from there. The funniest thing I saw there was a sign - like a no smoking sign but instead of a cigarette had a plant in it. I guess this plant (actually a fruit I think) smells so bad that you can't take it on the subway. On the swing side, Singapore is actually very exciting!! Very clean (presumably because of all the strict laws) and quite the rush of sights and sounds. The most interesting thing I had while I was there (only three days regretably) was an avocado shake. Sounds totally gross but was really delicious!! Plus, they have excellent grocery stores. You can get some good things from England there - like Cadbury Hot Chocolate mix. Yummy!! Roger - where were you that you didn't like it? I am guessing - middle east? I have not heard many good things about being there - especially for women. Talisker: "Hi Moon! Thought I said Hi and realized I must have forgot to hit that second button to send it. oops! Zebulon: "Roger, Deer Park is in the Southeast part of Texas very near the gulf coast and is a little over 300 miles from me. I wonder if the 15 mile strip is under the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico? That's a screwed up location for a toxic dump, especially if it's on land. A QUICK VISIT TO THE DISCUSSION AREA ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY ISSUES -- PROS AND CONS. Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 04:55 pm From Luke: "Huh? Oh okay... i though somebody was resurrecting this topic... it was just commentary... but if anyone has further thoughts on the subject, i'm all ears (and eyes too!) Roger_Ramjet: "Well, this is one of the discussion topics I owe an answer to. Not trying to avoid it--just haven't been able to get ot everything--I also work while doing this! I work a lot--another topic. I went back and looked at the original qestion to go with the title, and didn't get a clear indication there wa anything more structured than "provide what you think". I can do that! Pros and Cons?? As far as the issue itself of being homosexual, hetrosexual, or having desires of both, I say be who ever you are. Don't be someone you aren't. Now the issue of how a person is treated definitely has pros/cons associated with it. I think it sucks we are that way as a race. I know that as a group, humans have been the ones to punish themselves too many times. We treat each other like crap, and this is just one case. This thing about thinking someone else is bad for believing in something different or being different, when it doesn't hurt anyone else. All these people in the world that have decided their way is the best way for not only themselves but everyone else. I just don't get it--I admit it. Devo had an album--"Dare to Be Differrent". It is quite a dare these days...and days previous to us as well. Galileo sure didn't fair too well in being different, did he????? Until we, as a race, can come to terms that we aren't so good, or what ideas have aren't so good as to force them upon the rest of civilization, I don't see this problem going away. For me, as an individual, just want to do what I think is right for myself, so long as I'm not hurting someone else. If I don't like someone else's approach I can choose to not be included if that is important to be. I shouldn't demand they think the way I do...about this topic or others like it. MEANWHILE TALISKER MADE A QUICK VISIT TO THE CHURCH "Hmmm . . this seems like a nice quiet place to sit down and reflect for a while (then I can at least think about cleaning my house) |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 06:45 pm  ON SATURDAY MOONDANCE STARTED A DISCUSSION THREAD -- FOR FUN - WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MATERIAL POSSESSION AND WHY? HERE IS A RECAP TO BRING US UP TO DATE Saturday, October 14, 2000 - 01:37 pm Moodance: "I thought we could have fun with this... Roger_Ramjet: "I have very few material possessions. One chair, a TV, and a small stand for it--a bed as well. That's pretty much it in terms of normal possessions. Up until last year, I've never had a nice car. Always cheaper cars usually hatch backs becuase of kid's stuff (they are all older now, however my last car was 12 yeasr old when I got my new car) I'm not sure if my new car is my favorite possession. I have a collection of 2 handed swords and very lagre, unusual knives and daggers. I like them quite a bit. Unusual, like I'm accused of being by many of the people that know me. (frankly, I see myself as your basic human). These things are cool looking, and fun to play with. I'm always looking for new swords to add to the collection, however I haven't come accross many that are worthy of being in the collection. I also tend to use my money to get stuff for others before spending in me. The car--I'm still trying to figure out if I should have the draned thing. Anyway, like I said, I haven't ever had a nice car, so figured that once in my life I'd get one to see what a really nice car is like. (the ex had an Accura Legand--of course that went with her). So, now I have a car that is unreal to me!!!! It becomes part of me, or allows me to become part of it. What a fantastic drive it provides. Fast, luxury, and handling beyond belief. Comfortable is a descriptor that doesn't do it justice. After 7 years of having the other car paid off this is quite a change. I have this conflict going on in my mind about having something this nice, and what I could be doing with the payment instead (well, part of the payment--I still needed a car). It isn't the car that I love--it's the drive it provides. So different than what I've experienced before. Then to make thinsg worse, I typically don't drive it that much--back and forth to work, errand/chores--that's about it. It's one of those cars that shouldbe taken out for drives just to be able to drive it. Hell, myabe I feel guilty for having a possession when I've always been happy with not having any. When involved with someone, I use my income to help get what they enjoy for comfort in terms of material possessions, and I enjoy getting things then--somone else is liking them. So, is it my sword/knife collection or the car?? Heck of a question! Moondance: "Well, you covered a collection too! Cool, I was going to use that as my next topic questions so we use this thread for both! Your sword/knife collection sounds very interesting... do you have any with a particular story that stands out? Like, how you came across it or the history of one of them? Talisker: "Good topic Moon! My favorite material possession? I take this to mean what is the first thing would grab in the event of a fire or disaster (outside of dogs, clothes, photos and important papers. If that is the case, I would grab my computer. While it is totally replaceable, it has also been a great source of entertainment and, many times, a gateway to the outside world too. I do have a 600+ video tape collection that is inportant but would be hard to save all of them. The computer would be the possession I would miss the most if I didn't have it. Moondance: "Okay so I have a collection too... I a going to get some flack for this but I collect Tiaras. My Mom bought me one ... kind of a joke at the time but I loved it! I became a princesses when I put it on, thus a really funny Improv character was born... I have about 10 Tiaras now. Okay, go ahead.... Make fun, I am ready Tali, what is in your video library? Talisker: "lol that's cute moon! You aren't Miss Washington or something, are you?? So now we are talking collections? I collect jigsaw puzzles! I don't know how many I have but I have over 1,000 of them. I have built most of them but none in the past 2 1/2 months (You know you are a BB Addict when . . . ) I used to build 4 or 5 a week until BB came along. Figure I will get to start building them again starting Monday night. Moon - what is in my video library? Umm . . video tapes silly!! Roger_Ramjet: "Moon, how is that any worse than swords??? You guys haven't beat me for that one--yet. lol No bashing from me--I also have a Man from U.N.C.L.E.lunch box and thermos--a one item collection (and it's in great condition!!). Took me 3 years to find from the time I got the hair up my a-- to get it. It was made in only 1 year--1963 If you want to talk about weird, that's one for the books!! No way am I going to make fun of your collection!! lol Arreal: "I would have to say...um...my book collection. I love reading. It is one of those passions of mine that is always there, it just takes finding the right book. I am so 'anal' about my books. I've learned to loan them to no one. People break the bindings, bend the corners or simply just get dirt on them. My favorite old book is Scenes From Around the World. It's a photography book that was copywrited in 1889. Very nice pictures of all over the place. I bought it at a garage sale for 25 cents and then paid $50 to get the binding redone. Hey Roger...my hubby collects swords also. Anyway, for me my favorite possession is my books. Love this topic Moon. Roger_Ramjet: "1889? Now that is impressive--well at least to me! My middle son has more books than his local library. Fantasy role playing books as well as others. Have you read all the books that you have, or are there some you bought for the collector aspect?? Talisker: "Moon! Pretty much any movies that I have liked - I also have some Star Trek Shows, X Files shows, and as bad as this sounds, (not part of the collection of 600) All of Lois & Clark, The Paper Chase series, Little House onthe Praries, Star Trek the Original Series and Star Trek Voyager. Oh, and all the Big Brother shows except for the 1st show. The collection of 600+ is the pre-recorded you by. Though, now I am converting to DVD. Moondance: "OMG... I remeber when you posted that you would have had that puzzel finished the houseguests got for their challenge... No pagents for me!!!! I did go as a Pagent Witch for Halloween last year "Miss Salem" It is a long story but it was very symbolic that my Mom gave the Tiara to me... She didn't really ever believe in primping and make up so I grew up a tom-boy... well, not completely because of that... the brothers helped! Arreal: "I am so embarrassed now. <Shame> Tali mentioned her lapse in good judgement with the Packard Bell she use to have. Well, Too tell you how old of a puter I had to use to get back on-line....um, this is a Packard Bell. (hanging head in embarrassment) Pretty sad. lol Zebulon: "My favorite material possession has to be the new townhouse I purchased in June. It's my first home after getting tired of paying money out for an apartment and having no equity. It's a medium sized townhouse with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, kitchen, a cool sunken living room, etc. It overlooks one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in the area. My dream/goal is to eventually expand my business into multiple locations and move to Nassau Bahamas and purchase a beach home (and pay no taxes...lol). That's a ways down the road though. Talisker: "Just thinking - my oldest possession is my teddy bear. My uncle gave it to me while I was in the hospital (so I've been told ) It is still in pretty good shape. Just remembered, I also collect cookbooks. I couldn't even begin to say how many I have but they fill 2 large book cases. |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 06:58 pm  CONTINUING RECAP OF FAVORITE MATERIAL POSSESSION DISCUSSION -- 10/14 05:51pm Arreal: "Roger I have not read all of them. I also have a set of encyclopedias, leather bound from the late 19th century also. I certainly have no interest reading them..lol. Another book is a medical book called The Diseases and Function of Women. (Yes, THE FUNCTION) It is very funny. Let me explain one of the diseases of women and one of the old cures. Hysteria- this was an illness only contracted by women. The cause was the uterous. The symptoms were yelling, and crying uncontollably. The cure-- the cold water douche. Now you have to let me explain what this was. The afflicted woman was kneeled down in front of a large tub. People would help hold the woman there while the doctor, or whom ever else was available poured buckets of cold water over her head, over and over again. The woman was considered cured when she quit crying and fighting and stated that she was cured. Honest...paraphrased right from the book. Another book I have is from 1827, it is a text book actually, Guy's Austronomy. In the first chapter it talk about the various planets in our solar system. (It only goes to Jupiter) When it gets to the Earth and talks about the moon, it speculates that our moon is inhabited by creatures very similar to us humans. I'm so glad we've glad advances in science. Zebulon: "Oooh....I guess I have 2 childhood possessions that I will never get rid of. One is my stuffed panda bear, Fred...yes, just plain old Fred with the head that now flops around like a newborn baby. My second is my Electroman. I got it when I was like 8 years old or something. They aren't made anymore and is probably considered rare. It's still in excellent condition. It's a battery operated superhero that uses light and sound to defeat his enemies and alert other people's presence. It was an advanced toy for the year it came out. I also have the monster that goes with it and they still work. I have no idea what it's worth and have tried to find it in numerous toy collector's books. Thanks Moon! Thanks Roger! I really lucked into the deal with the townhouse. It was a miracle especially for the location it is in. That makes it even more valuable. If it wasn't for that, I'd have to say my computer. I used to have a sports car before I got all responsible and stuff. Now, I just have a forest green Saturn SL2...not that flashy but it looks pretty cool with the tailfin on it and is supposed to be really safe. A LOT OF CHAT ABOUT MOONS AND STUFF Himay10ns: "Oh, this is so easy for me. About 5 years ago, my mother's parents passed away and willed me a 9 ft. mahogany roll top desk filled with OLD books. I had the desk appraised at $36,000 but I don't care about it's value. It is the MOST beautiful piece of furniture I've ever seen in my lifetime and the books are probably worth $1000's of dollars. I need to get the books appraised as well. I've had to take out a separate rider on my insurance just to cover the bookcase. It's worth more than my car!! Everytime I walk past the desk in my dining room, I think of my Memom. I am her namesake. (My real name is Lucy Jean). ArReal, I think about your little Lucy when I say that. Anyway, my desk is my most precious possession, aside from my fullbred Himalayan Persian cat. As Moon knows, my cat is dying from mammary cancer. Moon, I want to thank you again for the email you sent me long before the game, acknowledging my cat's health. He's hanging in there but he is day to day. So there it is...my two most precious possessions, my desk and my best friend, Levi. And just so you know, I would gladly give away the desk to keep my precious Levi alive. I have an aching feeling that Levi will pass away during this game. If that happens, I'm happy to know that I will have some support from the friends I've met here. <sniff, sniif> Moondance and May tear up (that's crying tears) at this point and sob on each other's shoulders over May's story. Vykin Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 02:13 pm "Okay, I tossed and turned about this topic all nite long. I think I may have it down now: My most materialistic possession was in the past: In 1981, I ordered a brand new, customized, Mazda RX7, Champagne Gold (the color had not hit the markets yet). Five Speed, tape deck, everything a person could want at that time. It was shipped direct from Japan. There were only a handful of them allowed into Canada, and in BC there were less than 10. I worked in a neighboring town, and a chiropractor in that town as it happens had also ordered one. His came first and he used to cruise up and down the main street with his RX7, showing off. Then came the day when mine arrived. Well the guys sees me driving it and just about has an accident, he was so pissed off. My ego flew higher than a kite. Car cost $16,000 Canadian at the time. Considered a high price to pay for vehicles in those days. (And no I'm not old!) It was just the first brand new car I could ever afford to buy on payments. My Second is: I love landscaping and having something to look out when I walk outside. I live on 5 acres of property at the base of a mountain. I love doing landscaping and yardwork which includes, many flower and shrub gardens. That is my stress reliever. There is something about going outdoors and getting the grit and dirt stuck under your fingernails that is euphoric. My Third is: humorous. Last year when I went on the Grand Princess, one would think people on the ship would do "uppety" (for lack of a better word) things. However I was amazed to see people occupy their time with activities like Bing, Trivia Challenges (which I was involved in), Board Games, etc. Be damned if people didn't want the coveted prizes such as luggage tags, umbrellas, coffee mugs, etc. One day, I went to a Jigsaw Puzzle Challenge. Moon was it you, talis or Himays who enjoys jigsaw puzzles? Regardless, I had heard a rumor that everyone gets a prize and it is the Princess Cruise luggage tags. Off I went, we were put into teams of 4 people. Our team came in second, we got the luggage tags, But FAR MORE IMPORTANT, was we got Silver Medals for Second Place. Just like an official Medal. So, my third material but not valuable (probably worth less than $5) possession is My Silver Medal which sits displayed with Honor in one of my display cabinets. (Ed note: I left out the oohs and aahs throughout this discussion) |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:08 pm  LIVING ROOM -- 06:21 pm TALK ABOUT THE TOXIC WASTE DUMP CONTINUES: Roger: "The information I got when I was there was that many of those folks feel it's pretty bad--on the land. Lots of years of activity without a lot of control. The dollar, or maybe shortsightedness for the future. Not sure which--maybe a combination?? The 15 mile strip was reported to me ot be along the highway there--and expands out of course. Less of a strip I guess, more of an area. It was talked about as a strip because of driving through it. (the strip of road) I do know that many areas don't have to look polluted to be that way--so do, some don't. maybe someday we will learn you can't get something for nothing--then again, we haven't learned that after all these years. Not lol Moondance: "Roger ... I always feel you get back what you put in! Hi Tali... you were asking Roger about the Middle East... My Mom taught for 2 years in Saudi Arabia... Pretty interesting to hear her stories. Everything fro the strict laws to the treatment of women. Roger_Ramjet: "Tali--sorry for not geting back to your response sooner--I was addressing one of the discussion tpics. Great to hear you go to experience so many great things in so many different places! Thanks for sharing all of those!!! I was in Turkey for a year. A number of things and issues in my case. A topic for a later discusion when traffic isn't quite so busy. A very frustrating experience, not helped by the Army, although their part was in truth, minimal. Moon, was your thing about getting back what you put in a response to me "you can't get something for nothing"?? wasn't sure, so figured I should ask! All, answers are in on the challenge. Moon, do you want the honors?? Your question related to if we would win was answered Yes. Cut/Paste/WIN!!!!!!!!!!! Moondance: Roger... yes that is what I was refering to Talisker: "Moon - I bet your mom does have interesting stories about Saudi - I would not be able to handle the subservient way that women are treated there - not being allowed to drive, wearing pants not allowed, etc. Would seem to restrictive to me. Roger: Turkey? I have heard many stories from people who have been to Turkey - good and bad. I have never been but have friends who have. It's one of those countries where you have to be pretty careful - ask before you take picture too. What you might think is a beautiful building could get your camera confiscated. I do have a few interesting things from Turkey that people picked up for me over the years. Roger_Ramjet: "Moon, I meant that comment about running a bussines that can pollute, not pay attention to that aspect, then have to expect some bad side affects. Many people have this "dump it down the drain" belief--that if they can't see it, it can't hurt anything. That all things come with a price of some type. Some don'tbelieve it, and some ignore it. Frequently those that ignore it affect amny more than themselves. I agree with your point about getting something out does indeed require putting something in!! That is true of just about anyhing I can think of!! Tali---some of my bad experiences would not have happened if I was there doing a different job--and some would have. Going to jail for for 20 years for calling a Turk a name is a bit strict in my book--especially when the law doesn't work the other way!(I have a real issue with that in general) My mission had a NATO thing going on. 6 months before I got there, they took actions which indicated they thought of us as an enemy, not as friend. Just a difference in how they thought things should be done. Unfortunately when you give certain people guns (or tanks) with that belief, the results can be less than acceptable. Moondance: "I knew what you meant by your comment ... were you offended that I wanted to add to it? I believe many companies, people ... society in general do not look into the future and repercussions of what we do today ... that is why I made that comment ... we are getting back what we have put in... I just wish we (society) would take better care of the earth ... that's all. Talisker: "Roger!!! YOu have a banner!!!!! Cool!! Congratulations!! It doesn't say anything we ladies here didn't already know! Roger_Ramjet: "Let's try this again and see if I get locked out a second time when posting. No, you didn't offend me at all. That is a very hard thing to do--and if it happens, you won't be asking if you did--I'll tell you flat out! lol I thought you were misundertanding what I was trying to get at--and I cause that a lot in people! lol You are right about the earth--it's coming up on "crunch time" for humans and the earth, IMHO Are you going to submit the answer to the challenge, so we can get the win?? I love that word!! |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:15 pm  Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 06:50 pm BANNER FOR ROGER: ROGER RAMJET - AMERICA'S HEART THROB - WE YOU |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:26 pm  IN THE LIVING ROOM THE BEE GEE'S CONGRATULATE THEMSELVES ON WINNING THE PUZZLE CHALLENGE. 07:13 pm Talisker: "Okay! We have a yes! Can somebody please post the answer in the Final Answer area so we can close this out?? Moon? Why don't you do us the honors since you posted the question? Roger_Ramjet: "Damn, I love a good game!!!! Gets my blood going! Everyone did such a good job!! We didn't give up, wer kept trying something new when things didn't work, and people threw ideas out like crazy again. BGs ROCK! TALI CONGRATULATES ROGER ON HIS BANNER. HIS REPLY: "Tali--yes, I did see the banner. That was VERY nice of someone out there. Not sure from my perspective about the accuracy of it....I do appreciate a positive thought though!! Thanks for the banner folks!! I hope the ladies in here see me as someone who is honest and trustworthy. I'd much rather be considered that--although that's just me. lol And of course I'm not used to being a heart-throb---believe me, it is not normal course in life! (Ed note: I am going to watch tv for awhile and have supper. I'll be back) |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 09:43 pm  THE PUZZLE CHALLENGE AREA --After continued congratulations and pats on the back all around for good teamwork the BG's retire to the Hot Tub. Vykin praises Roger for his post on Homosexuality Issues and goes to the Church to say: "Okay Big G realize this is the 7th day and you are resting, so I won't disturb you. Moondance posts in Domestic Violence Topic and I will post all of those before I end off tonight. Moondance, Roger, Vykin and Arreal play a game of hide and seek in the living room. Talisker, Arreal, Moondance and Vykin finally all meet up in the Hot Tub. - 08:33 pm Talisker: "Hmmm . . . looks like the hot tub is empty . . well, maybe if I get in, someone will come along and keep me company. Sure has been a stressful weekend. But, a nice soak will help me relax before I turn in. Arreal: "Tali, I wanted to stop by and thank you personally for acknowledging my question that, to some degre, turned our line of thinking in a better direction for solving the challenge. It meant a lot that you did that. Thank you. Talisker: "You're welcome ArReal - just my way of giving you credit and to let you know that I would like to end all the conflict between you and I if that is okay?? Would like to get along with you - I liked teasing with you in outer boardlands and miss doing that here. Arreal: "Thanks...I'm done with it myself. I had fun out there also. I really wish I had known about your mother. I would have understood your desire to talk and be open. I'm sorry I hurt you. (((Tali))) Moondance: "Arreal... I hope you didn't think that I didn't give you credit... because you were right on it... I like this convo... I hope I am not breaking it up! Talisker: "Apology accepted! Hey moon! Howdy!! Glad you could stop in! Looks like it is party time here in the old hot tub! Let's get some wine and maybe a couple of the others to join in? Any of you guys lurking out there?? Vykin: "Here u all are. Hold on gonna catch up on this conversation, then Ill jump in Here u all are. Hold on gonna catch up on this conversation, then Ill jump in Moondance: "I am here Tali!!! I just want to give credit where credit is due... I am just funny like that! Vykin: "Okay done reading, is there a LoveFest in here? . Lol. I just came from Domestic Abuse folder so was nice to read something cheerful Moon that was a beautiful picture of you on your website. Is it really you? Talisker: "Hey Vykin! Sure, it can be a lovefest if you want it to be. Just sit over here next to me for a while! I'll keep you company!! Arreal: "thanks you guys.... oh, and Tali...to address one of your earlier discussions with Roger, I wanted to add... I searched the world over and thot I found true love, but you met another and <ppppttttt> you were gone. Roger_Ramjet: "It's been awhile since last post---anyone still around?? Moondance: "Vy...It's my commercial headshot... I wasn't creative enough to use something else! but thank you...prez |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 09:49 pm  The ClubHouse: The Game - Play Room: General Discussions: Topic # 6 - Domestic Abuse -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently, in an Ottawa newspaper, an article was written about domestic abuse. A 35 year old stay-at-home Dad woke up one morning, and chased his 35 year old wife out of the house and down the street, stabbing her continuously while she screamed for help. When she reached a neighbor's house, her husband stabbed the elderly couple who tried to assist the woman. When neighbors were interviewed, they said the man was known for his kindness and attention to his son. The woman was a well known community speaker, who spoke on violence against women. We hear these stories more and more. Please discuss your feelings about this issue, and what we as a society can do to prevent this from occuring in the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zebulon Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 09:14 am I think this is more of a story of mental illness than domestic violence. It doesn't sound like this type of behavior was a repeating occurrance. Let me think about this some more. Talisker Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 11:43 am I would like to think about this too - I know that abuse takes many forms and they are not readily visible - even to the person who is being abused. Physical abuse is easier to spot though. But, whether is it physical or mental abuse, I think that one thing that has to be changed is for the person being abused to think that it is their fault. I think a person in an abusive relationship has a tendency to feel like they are the one who is causing the abuser to treat them like shit. They think maybe they did something to make this person have a bad day and hurt them (hurt can be whacking someone around or finding twisted methods to make them feel like they are totally worthless - both have the same end result - you feel like shit) At first, you keep thinking when the abuser does something that this is all my fault - something I did made this my fault. I have to try harder to be a better person, a better lover, a better cook, a better helper, a better housekeeper, a better friend, whatever else you can do so you don't cause this person to treat you bad again. But, in the end, if you get smart, you will finally learn that it is the abuser who has the problem. The lucky people learn this lesson pretty quick and escape before they are damaged too badly. The more trusting ones, (or the ones who just don't give up) let it go on and on thinking they can make it all right - they can't but by the time they learn that lesson, there is nothing much left inside of them to care anymore. As a society, I am not sure what can be done. There is a case here where I live that that is being trid right now. Here is a little exerpt: An Air Force officer was the aggressor the morning his wife was killed outside the couple's Ellicott home, according to the testimony Tuesday of neighbors who saw the struggle. (*******) is facing first-degree murder charges in the Aug. 29, 1999, death of his wife, (The victim), a disc jockey and promotions director for classic rock station The Eagle. Neighbor (neighbor 1)said (*******) appeared to be strangling his wife as she kicked and screamed for help. He sat on top of her, and she never gained an advantage in the fight, (neighbor 1) said. Defense attorneys say (******) acted in self-defense. After his wife's body went limp, (******) reclined the driver's seat of her car, put her body inside, sat on it and drove off, said (Neighbor), who called 911 after watching part of the fight from her home about 120 feet away. "Oh my God, he's sitting on top of this woman in the car," (Neighbor 2) screamed on a 911 tape played in court Tuesday. What can society do? Society can get more involved. You don't just sit there on your fat a$$ and watch a woman get beaten and strangled. You get out there and find a way to stop it. The first 911 call was made after she was dead!! I guess it was more exciting to watch then to think about picking up the damn phone and calling the police. People need to act in these situations. If the cops come out and the trouble is over, that's fine - better to make a mistake in being to causious then to wait and let someone be dead over it. Perhaps if someone had gotten involved (there are 2 neighbors who did nothing up there) the wife would be alive and the husband could have been getting some help. Instead, the wife is dead, her 2 year old daughter is without a mother and the husband is in jail being tried for 1st degree murder. Get involved! That's the answer - pay attention to what is going on. Hmmm . . . guess I am not thinking about this after all. Zebulon Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 05:00 pm As a society, we can say that we could have done this or we could have done that to prevent the situation listed above and similar occurrances. The fact is that the neighborhood had one perception of this individual...while, inside the house, there was obviously another side to him. Whether he kept this anger bottled up inside or acted it out on his wife inside their home on a consistent basis remains to be seen. You can offer all kinds of services and therapy or whatever, but if the people involved don't take the time to use these services then what else can we do? We can publicly state that it's wrong to be abusive and we can take measure upon ourselves to make sure we never do anything abusive, but you can't monitor every family 24 hours a day and know what their lives are like...at least without appearing to be nosey. It's very hard to predict when someone snaps like in the example above. Obviously, he hasn't had a history of public abuse or the neighbors wouldn't have stated that he was a great guy and a wonderful father. Public awareness and self awareness is about all I see we can do. If anyone else has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Moondance Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 05:32 pm Under 'normal' circumstances, a person just doesn't wake up and be an abuser. If it had never happened before then there are a number of reasons ... drugs, mental illness.... More often though it is the other... It has been happening but behind close doors ... building up to the final 'break.' So maybe the were no clues to the outside world... I on the other hand feel there are usually red flags ... little ones at the least. If my friend or neighbor was in this situation, I would do what I could ... suggest good therapy/support groups ... remind her of the different options that are available and lend an ear but there is so much a person can do if the person is not willing to help themselves. As a neighbor, if I heard the domestic violence, I would have to call the police. I believe the world needs to become more aware of all that is going on. Everything effects everyone somehow. So I believe there is always something we could do if we become aware. I just came to post this (I write on word then cut and paste so I don't lose it) and it looks like I agree with a lot of what you said Zeb... Arreal Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 06:49 pm I think we need to reach children before they become abusers. Kids who grow up abused become abusers, or victims. Kids who grow up with parents in a domestic violence situation become victims or abusers. In many cases, the children are not required to have any sort of therapy when they come from a family with domestic issues. I think if children who were exposed to adult abuse, whether it be adault against adult or adult against child, got counseling and help, some of the "cycle of abuse" could be stopped. We need to put a kink in the cycle and I think the children are the most impressionable and least set in their ways. When need to bring into the public more awareness of the issue and show victims that they WIL BE SAFE, and protection is available if they leave the relationship. People need to talk about it so the victim feels less shame. People need to learn that love and respect go hand in hand. There can not be one without the other. The 'system' needs to take a firmer stance on abusers and provide protection based on evidence and eye witnesses, even if the victim won't press charges. Victims have a right to fear for their lives if they leave or try to leave an abusive relationship. Historically speaking, victims of repeated domestic violence who try to leave are often killed. Many times we as individuals can't convince a victim to leave because they doubt the protection available for them. We need stronger punishment for the abusers. Mandatory counseling for everyone involved, especially the children who are witness to the abuse, and we need greater protection for the victim. Moondance Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 07:18 pm "We need stronger punishment for the abusers. Mandatory counseling for everyone involved, especially the children who are witness to the abuse, and we need greater protection for the victim." Ditto Arreal... good point!!!! Vykin Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 09:13 pm Moon you said: "Under 'normal' circumstances, a person just doesn't wake up and be an abuser." I agree, actually some really good thoughts in here. Not sure if the Host extracted this discussion topic from my internet cam address last nite, but when I saw it, I had to stop and think about the topic as well. As moon said I agree, I think abuse is a learned characteristic. I hate to see or hear of it happening to someone. Especially if it is young people, little kids. etc. In most school systems, there are mechanisms to identify abused children, however, the difficulty is in acting upon it. You can have all the triggers in place to notify Child Services, police etc. But its always difficult to go into the home and find proof. The Home is still seen as a private domain. Even for the police. That is evident, in how reluctant society and law enforcement have been to take charge of a situation of abuse. Be it children or adults. What blows my mind, is that here we are as a society in the Year 2000. The issue of abuse has been in the public eye for probably 20 years? and still in this day and age, with all the shows and advertisements on tv about this issue, all the newspaper articles etc. - people still see it as a "dirty secret" within families. There are safe houses set up. All sorts of counselling and support groups. Yet, the abuse continues and almost escalates. There are two forms of abuse IMHO, one is verbal which attacks the mental stability of a person and demeans them; and of course the physical, with which the worst case scenario is death. Both of these seem to always be brought on by an abuser who many times has substance abuse assisting them in the abuse, or just low self-esteem but high ego. Finally, the police are edging closer to getting involved. Thing is u can leave an abusive situation, get a restraining order and there is nothing to stop the abuser from getting to the victim again. There must be a better way to "nail these people" and I say people, because though abuse awareness leans more toward women, abuse is ALSO carried out on men by women. I am fortunate to have most of my family living in my area. The family is really close to each other and would "die" for one another. However, many of my extended relatives seem to turn away from a conflict. For example: I am aware of a female cousin rite now who has a live in boyfriend and apparently he abuses her. I asked someone who is extremely close to her (another family member) What are her parents, brothers and you, as her best friend, doing to try get her to get rid of this guy. The response I got was, "I can't tell her what to do, unless she says something first". I responded, "And when will the family say something, when you all are lowering her coffin into the ground?". I left it at that. I'm giving the best friend a bit of time to think about it, but certainly, I'm going to say something to the victim. My mind is rolling now, but I better stop here for now and let someone else share their thoughts. |
Sandyc | Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 10:14 pm  THE HOT TUB FUN CONTINUES: Arreal Sunday, October 15, 2000 - 09:43 pm Ummm, Tali, Vyk was mine...he was going to cuddle and snuggle with me on the couch a week ago, but the idiot drank himself into a stupor and passed out on the bathroom floor.
