If you do that, I'd probably say wup? But, that's the number to my old Virgin Mobile phone - the one with the extended texting keyboard - the one that doesn't ring anymore and can't be locked, resulting in numerous butt calls. So, I'll probably just get a $10 top-up card for it and keep it at my bedside table so I don't miss any calls from all my followers. LoL!

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Pretty Stunning
Steve, I just saw Richard's fun side and commented on it. Like when he says that someone got to the office early this morning. Or I say something dumb and he says keep up the good work. I like that gentle chiding and humor combo. Maybe it has to do with being a grandfather. I can tell that for my sister and brother in law, it's a lot easier to be a grandparent than a parent!

[FairfieldLife] Re: Pretty Stunning
For the record, Barry didn't bother to read the demonization I've been responding to from Feste. As long as we're making free with the term stalking, Feste's been stalking me for the past week, entirely gratuitously. Barry wrote, stalking Judy: For the record, here she is stalking Feste, trying to 1) demonize him in the eyes of others, and 2) taunt him as a strategy to lure him into a protracted argument so she can do even more of it. Nope, sorry. That argument is so over. Feste won't own up to it. And you won't own up to it either, of course. You were included in the post I directed to Feste's attention. You both crashed and burned. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: My first send of this response never made it...

And more Judy-stalking from Barry: More stalking. Feste catches her in a simple mistake, and she wants to make him PAY for it. Feste (as noted) was doing his damndest to get Judy by citing a totally insignificant mistake I made in the course of correcting a whopping error of Richard's (in which he made the same mistake in addition to the big one). Note the gratuitous insults and taunts (bolded below) and names like sweetie and toots inserted to make it clear how much lower and inconsequential he is than she is.

Anybody see the appeal to other people Barry refers to? Note the constant attempts to lure him into arguing with her. Actually, I've been attempting to close out his argument with me. He's been trying (ineffectually, IMO) to beat me up for the past week because I've been calling Share on her falsehoods, and he feels she needs protection so she doesn't have to own up to them.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Pretty Stunning
The problem is that Barry and Judy are living in the past - Barry posted a challenge to Judy to come over here to continue their debate, which was for the most part a battle of egos. Where in the world did they get the idea that anyone over here cared what they say? Go figure. I mean, it's not as if either one has posted very many enlightening messages to the group lately. They're both pretty smart people and both are professionals working out of a home office. But, they both seem to have got stuck believing their own ideology - it seems like years since either one has changed much since 1995 - they're still posting the same old stuff, day in and day out. The only difference I can see, is that if Judy is for it, then Barry is against it. Barry used to be a TM defender, but he's turned into an obsessive teaser of sorts and Judy seems to have turned into caviler, obsessed with minute details of relative truth telling.

Richard, I think turq posts a lot of very interesting stuff, especially when he has time and gets on a roll. Interesting that he was once pro TM. I enjoy when Judy makes up verbs.

Wonderful. Great images and from such modest equipment. Snowflakes used to make me wonder, they form round a speck of dust in the middle and grow outwards. But how does each of the symmetrical sides know what shape it's supposed to be? I could never work it out and just accepted it as one of natures unexplained miracles but somebody worked it out decades ago. The shapes come from the particular combination of humidity and temperature in the air. The same combination of each will always result in the same basic shape. And the amount of time they spend in the air will decide how wide the crystalline arms are. But being crystals there is only one shape they can be.

I love snow and the silence of it, not to mention the beauty that results from all of these tiny little jewels accumulating on the things they fall on. I am just sorry we don't get more snow here in Victoria.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Pretty Stunning
It's a great idea, to post some photos that you have taken. Does anyone know how to post a photo they took? It's not complicated. What is complicated, is managing all those hundreds of photos every day. In Adobe PhotoShop you can manage photos on your computer; or you can upload them to Flicker, but it would require a lot of space to upload hundreds of high-resolution photos to the cloud every day - and it would be slow going unless you have a very fast high-speed internet connection. Apparently some folks can't seem to get around to re-naming all their photos and arranging them in folders - finding a photo can be time-consuming too! It's a daunting task and requires hours of editing. Most of my good photos are stored on an external hard drive so that we can view them with guests on a large screen monitor in the living room.

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Pretty Stunning
And, Judy could very easily explain why she believes that the TM mantras are NOT the names of the Hindu personal gods. I've done this myself on numerous occasions because that's what I used to believe, but I've changed my mind after giving it some thought. It's no big deal to me anymore - I just accept what MMY and SBS have to say about it, and I've stopped trying to be a TMO apologist. I believe, based on the statements of MMY and SBS, that my mantra is the name of Saraswati, and not just a non-sense syllable made up by Yogi. All I said was that Judy had posted an inane remark to one of my otherwise excellent essays. That was very rude of her and very intolerant of others views - her own deep wisdom notwithstanding. It's just a matter of style, I guess. Go figure. On 12/4/2013 2:32 PM, feste37 wrote: No, auth, I do not have a problem. The title you posted was incorrect. There is no article before Art of Living.

There is no article before Art of Living. Now that's not so hard to understand, is it? If you are going to correct someone who has made a mistake on a book title, the least you can do is get it right yourself. And then, when your error is pointed out, you could just say, Yes, you're right, thanks for pointing that out, rather than try to wriggle out of it and dig yourself in deeper. No wiggling, no digging, sweetie. None needed. And you obviously do have a problem, a bigger one than I realized. You don't seem to have answered my question: Which do you think would be a bigger hindrance to looking up the book by its title, an extra the or a reversal of the order of the main words? IOW, which correction is important, and which is just Feste determined to get Judy on something insignificant? Yes, you're right, there isn't a second the in the title. Thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing out such an awful error. Feel better now? And you didn't answer my other question, about whether you'd seen the post I directed to your attention yesterday.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Pretty Stunning
Now this is REALLY funny - Richard made an error and got corrected by The Corrector, but the corrector made an error and didn't even post a comment about there being an intelligent agent and the Being, a 'science'. It just doesn't get any funnier than this. LoL!!!

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: Pretty Stunning
My first send of this response never made it... Feste blustered (h, tough): Oh auth, as an editor yourself, you surely realize the importance of getting a book title exactly right. We are not talking about searching for a title or whose error was the more significant one. That's what you were talking about. You were practically wetting your pants with eagerness to get Judy. But the only thing you could come up with was pathetically insignificant. Me, I was concerned with the ability to locate a copy of the book from the title (if you'll recall, Richard had recommended it--with the wrong title--to Ann). I was not writing a Ph.D. dissertation or copyediting the reference list of the ms. for somebody's scholarly book. Those questions are not relevant to what I was pointing out. It's that simple, hon. Tootsie, I was pointing out that what you were pointing out wasn't relevant to being able to find the book from the title. Sorry if that's too complex for you to grasp. Unless I missed it, Richard never thanked me for correcting his whopping error. Did I make a big fuss about that? BTW, have I asked you whether you saw the post I directed to your attention yesterday? Why, yes, I have. Twice already, in fact. You seem to have some difficulty responding. Gee, I wonder why.

Now someone tell me there isn't order in the universe and that some marvelously aesthetic and imaginative creator isn't having the time of their life.
