you now decide to accuse the Mods of being fellow alcoholics!

Don't blame me if you get a month off next time!

You can't blame the man for thinking that, after all one just has to look at the "Beer Drinkers Thread".

Sure are a lot of alcoholics here :-)

Chris, you spent several days in our home. If there was not alcohol served at every meal, it was not for lack of trying...

Chris, you spent several days in our home. If there was not alcohol served at every meal, it was not for lack of trying...

Yeah, and ya know, Angela.
The double standard at work here is not lost on me.
So many Setizens brag about their drinking.
Beer drinker's thread and all........
I suppose I am one who takes things to extremes.
I always have in everything I do.
All or nuttin.

Perhaps it's time that others sweep their own front porch and quit squatting on mine.
I have come completely clean and honest about my battles with the demon whiskey.
I am not hiding anything from anybody there. I have laid each an every card on the table for all to see. While that does not make everything I say or do just OK.....at least I have been honest about it.

Meow.

I come from German immigrants directly from the 'motherland'.....
I don't think I ever heard my grandparents speak of their homeland quite like this.......
Nonetheless, it is a wonderful musical.

IF this does not wank yur crank..........
You and I have little to talk about.
Leonard Bernstein and the making of the original West Side Story musical and screenplay.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

This is amazing to watch.
As they work through it, Bernstein is such a task master.
A simple phrase or bit of diction in a single line.
They are in to triple digit takes on many of the songs.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

And if Bernstein himself was not enough........the recording directors get in on the action....."We need more trombone...?"

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

And in watching this, I seem to have gained a greater understanding of the creative process.
How frustrating it must be to envision something in your mind and try to coax others to perform it as it is in your mind.
Most amazing.
I know this pain.
For many years, I have tried to describe my thought processes to you here.
All classic fails.

What I see in my mind it seems cannot be transferred to another.
And so, we go on betwixt here and there./

You not understanding me, and me not understanding you.

I have tried.................................

And this was the end point.
I'm Deprioved. Victim of a social disease,.

Gee officer Krupke, krup you.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

I simply do not know how I stumble upon these things.

But, here you you have another kitty find. OMG.....................

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

I am going forth towards a destination unknown.

It shall be revealed to myself only when I arrive there.

At that time, there are going to be some revelations.
And you, here on Seti, might be the last to know.

I have kept the fires burning for many years now.
I have kept the faith.

I have a final path, and this is not it.
I have been chosen as the new messenger of the Lord, and He is now calling me home.

I have to travel to other places now..
There are places I have been assigned to be.

I shall be here as time allows.............my deal with God made that certain.


Just pay it forward.....................[url=https:/Urpb/url]

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

And.............
When I quote from the book of Eli, it is just that.

Not a threat towards anybody overtly.
Just reckognizing that our master above trumps all of our hopes and dreams and wishes.

He holds all the cards, Angela.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

Both Les and Mary have long since passed, but their memory lingers deep in what is left of the kitty memory banks.....................

Always shall until I pass myself.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

NO,
Angela.

When my past history is clear and cut about rambling on about this and that and other things................there is NO threat.
I am not about to go off and do harm to myself or my kitties or anybody else, and you damned well know that, so quit blustering about it.
Simple self serving BS. So, stop it now.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

I threaten you all with this........... Feel free to flea from me if I am threatening,.

One of Les's last performances from New York, where he took up residence after leaving here, Wisconsin.

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

I know there are a few VN vets who monitor my posts on a regular basis.
And I know most of them by name.

Carlin did as well.............
He made a statement that was usually saved for government disinformation terms.
He said, basically, that if the term 'shell shock' had been correctly applied in the VN 'conflict', that some of our vets would have gotten the recognition they deserved.

I known who you are, and believe me, I do honor you.

There are few finer man and women that exist on this project and in this country than those who served in that god awful government supplied war.

Even Carlin did not voice it quite that succinctly.

I salute you all for saving my heart and soul, and the land that the kitties now live free in. My only hope is that our next president has as much respect for our constitution and borders as you showed so couragiously.

I, and most others that never have a clue, owe you a debt that is beyond our ability to repay.

Meow for now..........
And God bless.

This is a fine song from Willie.
I spoke to him, and that is his sister Bobbie playing the piano.
I did not realize he had a sister so gifted.

My skies are never blue.........are yours?

And for Chrissakes, Emmylou Harris........what a lovely cut.

I got beside myself one night and asked Willie if he would allow me to offer my hand in marrage to his sister, even at her age.

He did respond weeks later...........
"Son, she is not old enough yet for a man of your limited experience with life. You get back to me in about twenty more son, and I shall arrange an engagement. Sis might be in the grave by then, but if you are sincere, you might visit her there in Austin, where she shall be."

I have had some awesome comms with people you would not believe over the years.
Sometimes, bemused, sometimes pissed off.
Sometimes just amazed that I would even ask for them to answer/.

Sadly, JJ is the one and most important one on my list, and she, even with out history, has never answered. No answer, no response.

Maybe one day she shall finally remember me./
I live for the moment when................. she can finally walk up to me and admit it.

---

"Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster

The kittyman has many fantasies and departures from reality.
My meeting with JJ is not my fabrication.

I will admit to most stories..............this is NOT one of them.

And, Lori knows this. I am in love with Lori forever.
Partly because she has Jett's big lucid eyes.

She knows this, and is quite aware of my love of Jett. Lori knows how I perk up when a song or story comes up on the tube about her. She just says,,,,,,,,,,hey, your gurl again.......LOL. And I give her the nasty stare and say...look, like...
Damn you gurl, that was long ago. You want me to go there?????//
No, she wants me to stay where I am with her.

This is no longer an issue between us. It simply is where I went almost 40 years ago, and has no bearing on when I love Lori and am quite taken, gurlz.,
No matter my posing, I am forever a taken man.......
Lori and myself have been together in one form or another for longer than these forums have existed. No, she does not come here.
I mention it enough that she knows this is my hobby, but does not pursue me here. She trusts me enough that she gives me safe haven here.
