Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi Deb and everybody. It IS amazing how big, strong people chasing each other for possession, or whatever, can bring an amazing transformation over a city, sometimes.(.in Houston's case) millions of people. I don't follow follow sports much anymore, because as with everything else I find in interest in, I go to the extremes with it. I'm not as near as bad as before.. because I'm aware of it. As with sports and OCD, I used to bet ALL the games, EVERY Sunday, Monday, and Thursday...with a book, with more money than I made in a year sometimes. I guess you could say I was lucky in the sense I didn't get my knee caps re-arranged..but it takes a toll in stress. Truly, the winning is not worth the losing. I'm sorry, I always start talking about my self and that's a bad trait and I'm working on it. Anyway, when the Rockets won back to back championships (basketball), the whole city, not just the final games, but the games preceding the play offs, the city was a changed place.. There were no black people, no brown, nor yellow, no red or white, or Russians, or, well I think you understand... There were only Rockets fans!!! It was beautiful!! I watched the people interacting more than the game!! It truly was a miracle in this big town which at the time 9and sorry to day..again).. was the # 1 murder capitol in America! At least a close second... LA couldn't be outdone... When the Rockets clenched the title for the 2nd yr. in a row, I was worried what would happen at all of the street parties, etc... I couldn't believe it... ONE Public Intoxication, and I'm telling ya', Richmond Ave was bumper to bumper with HAPPY people..all hugging each other and delirious about this. They were in cars and on foot and the news showed that EVERY end of this massive town were celebrating. ALL because our guys could bounce and pass and chase a round ball better than any body else's guys.... Life is so strange..that it can't help but be interesting, and something to think about and ponder. It's 4:20 AM.. I'm going to the hospital to have the test that they put a wire up your groin in to the heart, and put in stints if needed... they say its' precautionary, I say is $1500.00 more dollars out of my Religion Fund. (my pocket is HOLY..hehehe). Something about I'll keep you posted on how it goes..getting to the Med Center is an adventure.. Remember Donkey Kong? I feel like that! First, I ride my bicycle down to the gas station where the bus stop is, then catch the 'ol #2 and go about fifteen miles to the train, that lets me off right at the place. Sounds like I like in Whistle Stop, that town in Fried Green Tomatoes..AHAHAHAHA.. I'm hoping the bike won't be a bitch around the groin when coming home...I may walk it.....or call somebody, if neccesary.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks for sharing this, Bob. I grew up with a cousin who was blind. He was like a brother to me. He's dead now and I sure do miss him. He was of enormous support to me when was born and used to send her educational toys to help her learn. granny On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 1:14 PM, W.R.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 That is inspirational about the Warner's and I appreciate the link to the story on snopes. There is one small problem though. The article link to snopes contains a reference that offended me a little bit. For some reason I could not cut and paste it, but if you go to the link and read it you will see what I mean: http://www.snopes. <http://www.snopes.com/glurge/warner.asp> com/glurge/warner.asp The article refers to the fact that his child was not a " Down syndrome child. " The way it was written kind of made me cringe when I read it because it was not the 'people first' language that I have become accustomed to. It was almost like saying mongoloid child, besides the fact they used Down instead of Down's. Don't get me wrong, I was not upset with them because I just figured that they were unaware that type of language would even bother anyone, and I do not want to create some kind of mob lynching against snopes. They do lots of good in the internet community and I think a gentler approach is better. I used the 'contact us' link at the top of the page to write a tasteful respectful letter to them explaining that this was not the best way to refer to people who happen to have Down's syndrome. I hope they will revise the article, but if not, I did what I could.

Probably good that you brought it to Snopes' or Snopes's attention. But two things. In the Snopes entry the phrase " Down Syndrome " is actually a link to NDSS site. I see nothing wrong with that. And, as far as Down or Down's is concerned, see Dr. Leshin on the matter, http://www.ds-health.com/name.htm <<In 1974, a conference at the US National Institute of Health attempted to make a standard set of rules regarding the naming of diseases and conditions. This report, printed in the journal Lancet, stated: " The possessive form of an eponym should be discontinued, since the author neither had nor owned the disorder. " (7) Since that time, the name has traditionally been called " Down syndrome " in North America (note that " syndrome " isn't capitalized). However, the change has taken longer to occur in Great Britain and other parts of Europe, for reasons that aren't quite clear to me.>> Just FYI, really. -- Bob RE: Super Bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Almost on cue, 30 minutes before kickoff, my wife began to suffer extreme headache from neighborhood cable, wifi, tv cable and/or microwave/cellphone. It was such a large attack that we were going to leave for the desert, but the gauntlet of speed radar cameras on the highway would only make matters worse. She had to ride out the onslaught of wireless invaders by getting under her Faraday canopy, turning on the oxygen and me blocking the window with hardibacker. My question is: " What the hell are they doing during the Super Bowl to bring such terror? " Mike in Arizona P.S. We lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 The frequencies created by all the tvs being on during Super Bowl are carried from house to house via the electrical wiring, from which they radiobroadcast thrugh your living space. It is not from the tv on your neighbors' patio sending waves across the yard through the air. You'd have to be fairly close to a tv to get exposed from the set itself. Installing Stetzer filters in your house will clean up the electricity in your circuits. Shivani Arjuna www.LifeEnergies.com ************** A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 If you install Stetzer filters, I'd suggest first listen to your wiring with an AM radio (with all appliances, preferably main power off). If it is quiet, your neighbors are not a problem. If it is buzzy, add stetzer filters as close as possible to the panel on both phases. Note the buzz at the filter will get worse. If the buzz on the wires doesn't improve you probably have common mode noise and either need to find and correct the source or get a more serious filter that can reject common mode. Note that correcting at the source is always the best bet to try first. My neighbor had an old hot tub he thought was disconnected, but it was causing a buzz at both our houses. Flipping off the right breaker solved the problem. Now turn on your TV or whatever. Putting filters close to the TV may help but may not if you are close to the TV and/or filter. Again there more elaborate filters you can try but the best bet is to turn off the TV and read a book....
