Parsing something into idiocy, or for the purposes of trying to win an argument is bad. I think it works something like that. Have you ever had a kitten, where any little playful movement elicits a full pounce response. That's kinda what I'm talking about with Judy. Where any little point, or disagreement becomes the grounds for an argument, if she feels like arguing, which usually seems to be the case. And since you and Judy have asked for examples of her missing irony, it happened (particularly) in a post I made about Robin some time ago. My post was so outlandish that I was shocked anyone could have taken it seriously. But take it seriously she did, and I was then too embarrassed (for her) to point it out. Fortunately most everyone else got, and when it came up later in a discussion, I was quite relieved that the misconception could be finally cleared up. Since then there have been several other instances. But if you think I'm making it up, just disregard the comment as some kind of fabrication on my part. And sorry again for my misspellings. I was anxious to get out the door. The wife's birthday is on the fourth. Naturally she's felt cheated all her life by having her birthday so close to Christmas. But it sure made it easy finding something nice today at 50% off. Hi Steve, Thanks for responding although your first sentence might be a bit too haiku for my talents. I enjoy our exchanges, but it's back to the coal mines for me; forgive me if my responses are slow, its not for lack of interest in your views. What I see on FFL are a bunch of fried old boomer misogynists (Barry, Richard, Xeno), starting arguments with Judy that they can't finish; Judy then puts them out of their misery by making them stand in the corner for an afternoon, where they obsessively contemplate their blunders - telling themselves that: next time it will be different, only to find themselves back in the corner cooling there heels the next time they start an argument with her; its like watching Bjorn Borg dispatch Bobby Riggs in the movie Ground Hog Day. Why wouldn't Judy parse to win an argument someone else started with her, we all do that; have you not *analyzed and responded minutely* in this exchange? I believe it's standard practice for communicating on new media, and, IMO, a hell of a lot more suitable for chat rooms than Richard's incontinent polemics (at least some of Barry's and Shares mindless dribble would work on Twitter). It's interesting you pick something as dangerous and cute as a kitten as an analogy for Judy's aggression, I wonder if that doesn't point to a grudging respect that you'd be more open about if you're weren't *all in* in your defence of Share. Happy birthday to your wife - I would go with Ann's advice and stick to the small stores. All the best for your business in 2014 - hope you ride the year of the horse to the fulfillment of all your dreams.

That ship never left the dock. :-) What started out as more of an earnest place to discuss spiritual experiences, has devolved into simply a chat room, where anyone can say anything, about anything, and anyone. That's what it always was. Neither concept of truth or accuracy was ever in evidence here, and for good reason. Neither has anything to do with spiritual experience, which is by definition subjective. There can never be any truth with regard to something that only one person experiences, *other than he or she claims -- rightfully or wrongfully -- to having experienced it*, and as for accuracy, well that has depended pretty much since the beginning of spiritual discussion on how good or bad a storyteller the person claiming the experience is. The good ones can be *fairly* accurate while still holding their audiences' attention, but the bad ones *make shit up*. It's been like this since the beginning of time; ALL scriptures or holy writings in human history are just storytelling, and most of them IMO fall into the bad storytelling category, meaning that they're largely made up to appeal to an audience that wouldn't be content with a simply accurate retelling of a subjective experience. Get over it. So if Judy wants to keep upholding the truth on here, that is her choice... And her particular hubris. The very *idea* of her -- or anyone -- claiming to know the truth is ludicrous. It's just *more* ludicrous coming from her, that's all. :-) ...but I am with Steve on this one. This place just isn't worth the effort anymore, regarding its original intent, though I do enjoy chatting here, from time to time. Why are you looking for more? Chatting is what equals do. Truth telling is what people who claim to be UNEQUAL, and SUPERIOR, and the knowers of truth do to the people they look down on. Historically, Jim, you've always been one of the latter. It would be more pleasant if you chose mainly to chat from now on, but I for one am not going to hold my breath. :-) If you can't tell the difference between rules of evidence in a court of law and the speculations of religious dogma, you might consider starting a thread of your own; you could go with the subject line: Travels with the voice in my head, why every thought I have is an idea.

[FairfieldLife] Happy New Year FFL
This means we are not only children longer, we are childlike longer, and that has made us by far the most creative and adaptable creatures ever. We are not a computer that follows routines laid down at birth, Jacob Bronowski once observed. If we are any kind of machine, then we are a learning machine. This is why child's play and creativity are so deeply linked. Play has multiple meanings depending on whether you are an anthropologist, psychologist, parent, or child, but among its hallmarks are the simple joys of pushing boundaries, expanding limits, randomly galumphing around to see what happens just for kicks. Even long-faced philosopher Martin Buber had to admit, Play is the exultation of the possible. At the heart of playing is the strange phenomenon of curiosity. You really can't have one without the other. One theory about curiosity is that we are all born infovores, and in that curiosity we crave new knowledge and experience in something like the way we crave food. It's a kind of mental and emotional hunger that requires ongoing feeding and satisfaction. Old knowledge doesn't satisfy our curiosity because it is familiar; we have eaten it before. So how do we know when something is new? Because it surprises us, because it's different from what we are used to, fresh. Every creature has an evolved talent for identifying what is surprising or out of the ordinary for one simple reason: it's central to our survival. Those that fail to tune into the change around them, those that aren't sensitive to surprise, soon join the legions of species no longer with us. It's a talent that reaches bank hundreds of millions of years. For modern humans like you and me this makes curiosity a way to gather new information that has survival benefits, but also a process for gathering the building blocks out of which we assemble entirely new experiences and new forms of knowledge. One of the behaviors that makes us different is our affection for playing around randomly, joining this with that or that with another thing with no particular reason except to create more surprises that satisfy our curiosity, which in turn results in still newer experiences, new inventions and insights. Innovation and originality are by-products of our lifelong, childlike love of goofing off! -Chip Walter (LAST APE STANDING) Henri Matisse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOldcM7zubU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOldcM7zubU

Steve, Thank you for your response and the kind regards to *she who must be listened to*, and the daughter. I also enjoy Barry's current contributions; I used to find his posts a bit of a yawn, but then Share showed up and began letting him know at every opportunity what a exceptional talent she considers him to be; witnessing Barry finally find the audience he so richly deserves could be the point I started believing in a personal deity again. You're correct I think Judy is an exceptional contributor on FFL; call me old fashioned, but I have a soft spot for people I can learn from; the fact she finds hypocrisy repugnant doesn't hurt either. A good example of why I love your contributions to the forum was your choice of the word onset to describe Richard's posts; it would take me a week to think of a word like that, I just looked it up in a not so thick dictionary which describes it as the beginning of something, esp. something unpleasant. So can you imagine my delight when I logged on to FFL and discovered that Richard had taken time from his busy posting schedule to respond line-by-line to my communication with you; I'm wondering what his weekly output might hit if I communicated directly with him - would 400-500 be too much for the Sherpa of There’s no there, there. Although this communication is to you, the post professor has my permission to treat it like he and I were sitting in the same room - having a bit of a chinwag; but before I proceed, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Richard needs get a handle on the fact that Ann and the good Dr. D. have his best interests at heart - the last thing they would want is for any of us to enable Richard's growing dependence on responding line-by-line to other peoples communications. Its a long road down from the mountain top of 250 posts a week (66% more than 150 - from the bottom up, and 40% more than 150 - from the top down; considered an excellent margin in a number of industries), but as with all journeys it must start with the first step; so in the spirit of our resident Sherpa's trek back down from the mountain top - a time when many climbers get in trouble - I'm going to listen to Ann's sage advice, and preserve bandwidth by limiting my response to his comments, and our exchange, to this single follow up post to you. As a side bar, I'm a little concerned for Richards safety as no doubt his line-by-line rebuttal on my communication to you brought on a nasty domestic with Barry - the Paris to Paris back channel must have been red hot yesterday; frankly, I thought (I'm sure Barry would agree) Share showed the kind of restraint that should secure her the STFU award from Barry for 2013 (tomorrow is the last day for entries). There were many interesting points in Richard's line-by-line response to my communication to you, but the ones that really jumped out at me, and I don't think I'm alone in this, were his I'm not gay declarations. As you know, he has continued to make this declaration for a few weeks now although I can't remember anyone actually saying he is gay. Keeping in mind that this is a tolerant, if not urbane, meeting place for like-minded students of the history of consciousness, and no one here would ever dream of looking like a complete moron by disparaging individuals based on their sexual orientation; I think I speak for more than a few FFL correspondents when I ask why Richard keeps denying he's not gay when no one said he is? For this reason, let's review what we know and what we know we don't know about these denials; in examining the denials we may unlock the secret to the onset, and his current challenges with holding back with his FFL contributions, and possibly his tantric practice - to determine whether this lack of control is a precursor to something more ominous. When we consider the onset of the volume of Richard posting the last few months, and more recently in his line-by-line rebuttal of my communication to you, is it possible that in this inability to *hold back* we are witnessing some type of tantric explosion caused by some denial of what he truly wants out of life; in my recent conversation with a woman named Rita (who our Richard has already disowned) she said: he may or may not be a gay tantric, but considering the time he spends with his computer - I know something is going on, and, this crazy idea he has that the only asana worth performing is the corpse pose - what the hell is with that. I mentioned to Rita that the Wife and I practice yoga most nights, and, frankly, at my age I wish there was more time for the corpse pose. I guess I'll leave it there; I've got to run - Judy has invited me sailing again. Richard if you're reading this could you post a link to some of your poetry; I for one would love to read some.

First, I do enjoy Richard's writing style. Now, I know that has nothing to do

comments*, and because of this, it has made him more readable.
Third, I find Judy to have an overbearing style, lacking tact and the
inability, (purposely or unaware) ignoring nuance. And so, when Richard

That's the best I can do.
I hope your daughter is doing well. I am immensely enjoying skiing with mine.
* Certainly Richards comments to Judy have edge. Please see item three.
Steve,
Thanks for responding. Your gratitude for the family you're been graced with
comes through in your FFL contributions; IMO, it speaks highly of you as a
human being.
Thank you for asking about my daughter, she's doing great and just turned
sixteen.
I understand you find Richard entertaining, but I think we can agree that
being entertained is not the same thing as learning something. I thought when
you mentioned Richard's original content there might be something in his
posts that you found edifying - that I had missed; from what you say here, it
appears that's not the case.
As entertainment, I personally find the voice Richard employs on FFL more than
a little bit grating - not unlike one of those automated customer service bots
you get when you call Future Shop. On the edumacation front, he reads like he
thinks his readership know English as a second language - which could explain
why Judy has opted for macros, and Uriah Heep thinks she's discovered The
Rosetta Stone.
I'm not sure how much original content I've been able to harvest from
Richards offerings, but lets take a look: 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock -
I'm guessing you've heard of ROLLING STONE, if not, I could send you a link;
What People Wear - I'm still recovering from red tie with a maroon shirt;
What People Eat - I mean really, who cares about shopping at WFM when you
have Dean and DeLuca and Eataly (personally, I agree with PJ O'Rourke: Eat
The Rich); and, of course, lets not forget his reports from the front of his
yoga mat (which he does not seem to be visiting enough) - on the history of
consciousness; at best they read like badly written book reviews, and, most
definitely - ALL ABOUT RICHARD. IMO, 90% of his wikipuff output are cut and
paste jobs from the threatened opus he claims he's been working on the last 50
years. Please direct me to anything original in any of this output.
The thread I thought had potential was the one with his snaps of run down
houses, but so far he's failed to close the deal by not somehow pointing out
the irony of these images coming from a tea bagger who's never gone beyond warm
water.
I do admit to the guilty pleasure of watching Uriah Heep cobble together this
unholy alliance between these two old farts in a wind storm - who hated each
other a few weeks ago; not unlike watching the last days of the
Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, just before Operation Barbarossa; old Uriah is nothing
if not obvious.
I disagree with you about Judy; IMO, she's the most effective contributor on
FFL and writes the best sentences on the forum: she' s funny, well informed and
curious; please point to anywhere you've spotted these qualities in Barry's or
Richard's contributions. Judy is obviously strong, smart and independent: be
honest Steve, if Judy was man there wouldn't any of this hostility toward her
passion for accuracy. She does not start these exchanges, but she'll be damned
before she'd let someone pretend accuracy and fairness are not important - just
because it's the Internet.
And since its the award season, and she decided to jump into our conversation
- before I could respond to you; how bout an award for Uriah for The Years Most
Obvious?
Happy New Year to you and your family; and to Richard and Barry: more cowbell

I admit I'm still not opening those links because I still don't get his sense

*Bob's your uncle* is a phrase my British SO of 15 years taught me. It means
something like: and there you have it or that's that! In Iowa City there's a

Seriously, folks, I should have just kept my pile hole shut about Robin since
he's no longer here, but I couldn't resist. My apologies to Robin who is not
here to defend himself. But, Ann and Judy aren't doing a very good job of
taking up for Robin. So, in his defense, I'd like to say that it was
interesting reading all his posted messages. Compared to the usual Judy
macros and one-liners posted here y Ann, Robin seemed to have something he
wanted to communicate to us. Some people do feel better when they have someone
to talk to. So, Robin if you're reading this, it's nothing personal. Thanks for
taking the time to post here. Seriously.

Yes, it was one of the first times that he really had a good chuckle with me
about this conversation between you two. He thought it was bloody hilarious and
I don't really think he imagined for a moment that anyone would take it

but Richard isn't supposed to read it? You're not making any sense Ann, as
usual. It's considered bad form to put a respondents name in the subject

it by private email. If it's meant for the group, it needs to be relevant
to the discussion. Bob's message seems to have got your attention though,
but your reply is nonsense, so it looks like not only did Bob waste a lot
of his time composing this message for you to read, but he's managed to
waste your time as well. The least you could do for Bob is post an

The most fascinating thing about it all, from a psychological point of

of them are so clueless that they climbed all over themselves to see who could
kiss Robin's ass the most. Not exactly the brightest candles on the cake.
Poor Barry was wildly, insanely jealous of Robin. Still is. Brings him up at
every opportunity even long after he's left. I've never seen Barry so

nuptials for these two are meant to be, and just around the corner; I think in
their declining years these two have what it takes to make a union that will
inspire the poets: of course, there will be a few bumps on the road; for
example, how will Richard cope the first time Barry heads out for a cafe rap -
just as Richard has prepared a 6 course gourmet meal (Richard will no doubt be
captivating enough for Barry, but habits die hard), I imagine Richard coming
off the rails and Barry digging in his heels and refusing to say when he'll be
back. We can also only pray that Richard will get to safety when Barry starts
practicing his martial arts in front of his old laptop when Judy posts a
particularly devastating post. And, I know what you're thinking: who will do
the laundry'; frankly, in love much remains a mystery, but I think with our
well wishes these two have a shot; lets take the high road, because, once he
has a spouse we won't be hearing as much from RR. And with our best wishes,
here are some moves for Mr. Wright (being so conservative, we'll assume that
Richard will be taking Barry's last name; I know he would not like to be
referred to as the wind-up toy) to practice while he's doing the laundry, and
keeping supper warm:

So, I can get most any book I need through the inter-library loan system at my

Red on red is not your colour. Go figure.
Heads up for Bob: You can't uses spaces for macro names when you record your
macro in Microsoft Word - Word macros don't like having spaces between words.
You have to put the name of your macro as all one word. And, you can't create
a macro in Yahoo Neo since it runs on HTML and Java script.
Usually a macro is a shortcut to something you do a lot. If you have a
keyboard or three button mouse you can set up hot keys to help you perform
frequent tasks. I'm posting a link to these simple steps for setting up a macro
in Word. Here are the steps to create a macro in Microsoft Word. It's not
complicated.
So, let's get started:
'How to Create a Microsoft Word Macro in 26 Easy Steps'
http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/MW//s10p2.html
http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/MW//s10p2.html
Note on macros:
Claims to creating a macro are sometimes exaggerated in online chat rooms as a
threat to try and make others shut up from posting so much. The theory is that
if someone posts something they don't like, you can just run your macro as a
rebuttal. This works sometimes on discussion boards where newbies are easily
intimidated.
However, in a fair debate this is considered to be in bad form. Sometimes
snarks make macro claims when in truth they are just copying pasting from a
word processor into another text box. You might argue that creating a macro is
a lot of trouble just to post a one-line reply in a discussion, and it doesn't
seem like a shortcut, since if you are a fairly decent keyboarder you could
probably key in your reply faster than setting up a macro. Go figure.
P.S. I am uploading this flat file to the FFL forum in case you missed it and
so others can benefit from using simple macros.

You think I'm an idiot, Bob - I would never reveal my wife's real name in a
chat room. Not with a guy like Ravi hanging around here. And, there's at least
three Whole Foods Market in San Antonio and three in Austin and all of them
have vitamin sections.
So, all you've proven here is a resemblance to Ravi, the guy that got booted.
And, I've still got hair, but you failed to post a photo of your face - so
maybe you don't even have any teeth left. Go figure.
Whoa Tex, Bob is getting a little too close for comfort on all sorts of levels
ain't he, pard'ner?
It's not only considered bad form to stalk someone's wife or family to their
place of employ, it's probably illegal as well. That's why the other guy got
booted - so it's ironic that Bob would want the Ravi to be re-instated, and
then Bob would do the same thing. It's not only bad form, it's a really bad
joke. So, I'd say that Bob has set himself up to be booted. But, we can
sometimes make allowances for newbies on the list. I sort of like the guy's
sense of humor and I wouldn't want him to be banned.
So, let's review a few basic standard internet protocols:
1. Don't send threatening emails to a respondents wife or family.
2. Don't call your debating partner's wife at her place of employ.
3. Avoid posting jokes about the above - it's considered to be bad form.
Rick or Alex: are you reading this?

employ, to ask her about what shampoo the Richard uses, so the Bob could grow
some hair like the Richard has; but the Bob forgot to ask the Rita about where
to get himself some dentures. And, the Ann and the Emily are annoyed that the
Richard is posting too many messages and it takes them all day to read through
everything. Did I get this right?
Now this is a real F.U.B A.R. to say the least!
Now, the Richard doesn't know whether to run or to hide or LOL or do nothing.
So, I think the Willytex will just get some sleep and let the Alex sort it all
out.
Richard Macro (#4.2.7)
Is it something I said?
Doesn't matter - just call Dr. Beck to get the dentures; forget about growing
the hair, just buy a wig at SAKS. Richard Macro (#5):

That's it, Emily and Bob. That was my immediate reaction to seeing the photo.
Of course since then I figured out that most people use the same ornaments year

of the current tree. But the photo sure looks suspiciously familiar. Go figure!
Of course it's a very lovely tree and photo so a repeat appearance is good

your posts, just post in tiny red or blue text. It's not personal, just bad

posting protocols:
1. Don't post your message in blue text - that's reserved for hyper text links.
2. Avoid using red for your text - that's reserved for posting something
really important.
3. Don't post your message in really tiny text - it's really difficult to read.

5. It's considered bad form to post only a link without a comment of your own.

Richard,
As you suggested, I called Rita at the Whole Body department of WFM and asked
her about shampoos she might recommend for hair thicker than yours; she was
extremely helpful (certainly your better half) and asked if I would ask you a
couple of questions, since FFL traffic seems to get more of your attention than
she does:
1. What is the difference between a Zen sophist and a demented rooster that
won't be convinced he does not make the sun rise?
2. Since it looks like you're never going to vacate the laundry room, would
you might throwing in the odd load of laundry: its not like he actually has to
stand up or anything!
And while we're at it, I have a question of my own:
In Paris Texas, what do they call the west end of a horse heading east?
And not to worry I have a macro ready for your 6 month response.

No amnesty for Ravi, please. He is abusive and a serial offender.
Generally, the authority offering the amnesty does not agree with the offence
the individual receiving the amnesty committed in the first place. In most
cases, the amnesty says more about the authority offering, than the individual
receiving (one ironic case might be Marc Rich).
I don't believe for a minute that Ravi is abusive in the context of FFL, he
loves to mock hypocrites---who hate to be mocked; I think your label might fit
other posters on FFL (like a pair of Tony Lamas) a touch better than Ravi, but
that seems to be an ...in the eye of the beholder thing.
If I didn't find Ravi entertaining (he uses profanity to deal with
hypocrites, the way some hunters use silver stakes to dispatch vampires) I
wouldn't open his posts; but like a freeway pile up, we all slow down to take a
look. If memory serves, at one time, I was on the receiving end of Ravi's
affections as much as anyone on this forum.
It's Christmas: I say lets show the world how big we are, I think we can at
least be bigger than Vladimir Putin; how much do you think he likes Green Peace
or Pussy Riot?

Judy, Thank you for posting this, I found it compelling to watch. It's not easy to admit that we're all Krapp (smile), and, in the end, alone. I liked the way the monologue, and silence, framed and accentuated what was not said. I thought Pinter's characterization---much of the time using nothing more than facial expressions---was transporting. Everything in the room seemed burnt, possibly from a blaze caused by the narcissism of Krapp's younger years (alcohol adding fuel to the fire of his self absorption); even his wheelchair seemed scorched, I could almost smell the smoke hanging stale in the air. It's been said that Beckett's choice of structure* was influenced by Manichaean (Gnostic) doctrine, which teaches, among other things, that the world has been ruled by evil since God lost control of his creation. I think this could explain the choreography. At about 42:40 of this clip there is a short piece on the Yazidis, a sect in Kurdistan who were influenced by the Gnostics; I was reminded of it when I read* about the possible influence of the Manichaeans on the structure of the play, the burns on the walls of the temple are reminiscent of Krapps burnt wall paper (i loved the wallpaper pattern underneath the smoke damage, I could see the flames of his life licking up the wall). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wu0CTPeQjA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wu0CTPeQjA As dark as the play is, I found hope in the fact that Krapp seems to have no time for his intellectual insights as a younger man, but is drawn to his past failures in love; it seems to be dawning on him that in these previous experiences of love he may find some purpose to his existence. We lay there without moving, but under us all moved and moved us gently up and down and side to side. I think spool is a wonderful metaphor for life and I enjoyed the way Pinter played with the word. I thought the choice of the word last*, which could mean previous or final, was brilliant. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krapps_Last_Tape Here's a link to a small European film (Nothing Personal) I enjoyed watching recently. For me, it's about reconciling the desire to be alone with loneliness, and love, and the oh so human need to be with someone else. http://tinyurl.com/m5l24wu http://tinyurl.com/m5l24wu Thanks again Judy. I try to read all your posts, but unfortunately my other commitments keep me from posting as often as I'd like to. Is it possible The Holy Spirit became a gnostic when she left the world after the bombing of Monte Cassino; another question to ask Robin if he ever returns. ***I make this burnt offering to the god Neo, ruler of FFL and provider of crops of words without the fertility of his name; oh great Neo, I bow down to you---the antonym of Nemo---and beseech you to deliver this post to FFL as close as possible to my intentions (the fruit, flowers, hanky and donation are in the mail).
