noozguru, I think I remember when all that happened with the tracking of the post amounts, many thanks. My theory is if I even read about such, slowly but surely the knowledge will seep into my brain. Like I read the posts about touch typewriters and tech writing even though I don't know a lot of the terms, etc. Maybe it initially awakens certain portions of the brain, something like that. One hopes.
I like how you used the word unsustainable with relation to US standard of living. It'll be interesting to see how it moderates. Are you familiar with stories of people choosing to live simply? Or in really small abodes? Something to offset all that imbalance. And I'm guilty of it too. When I look around at how much stuff I've accumulated, I'm horrified. And I'm only one person! As for the American Dream, I'm glad that 51% of people have woken up from it. Now hopefully people can wake up from other myths, such as US productivity! I'd love to know what the jyotish was yesterday afternoon: I got a call allegedly from *Windows Tech Maintenance Department.* He wanted me to press Windows flag key along with r key. That made me nervous. I told the poor fellow that I had identity theft last year so am very cautious. In a very Asian accent he told me his name is Kevin Smith and I couldn't help but laugh. I finally got him laughing too, hopefully at the absurdity of the situation. He shared his real name, Samir. Anyway, I had to go to Dome so we rescheduled without doing anything. Someone recommended googling his phone number so I did and voila! SCAM! Funny old world if you ask me! ________________________________ From: Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 5, 2013 11:59 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] A Special for the Crop Circle Crew On 07/05/2013 09:00 AM, Share Long wrote: > Bhairitu, yes, that's another one of my favorite quotes from owners of Fido: > he's harmless or he doesn't bite or he's very friendly.

My bad (-: When posting limits were first introduced and I think they were daily then I started responding to multiple posts in one as a sort of protest because I thought posting limits were ridiculous and a sign of the immaturity of the group. As you well know Alex doesn't like the posting limits because that is one more thing to deal with and I don't think Rick cares much for them either but the majority wanted a nanny state. The only real problem was that some folks were using FFL like it was Twitter. When it went to a weekly count then people couldn't keep track of how many they posted. I wrote a C program to count posts and then converted it to run on PHP so it could run on a server. After running it a few weeks decided it might be wise to see if anyone had a server they might run even if out of town because I didn't want to do that. So Alex stepped and had a lot of fun implementing it. ;-) > ________________________________ > From: Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 4:38 PM > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] A Special for the Crop Circle Crew > > > > > On 07/03/2013 01:30 PM, Share Long wrote: >> noozguru, my favorite from dog owners: Fido won't bite.
