Congratulations Andre! I am so sad that I missed the live stream of the 
wedding. This is one archive that I will not miss. As soon as it's uploaded, 
I am going to listen and share, even though after the fact, with you in your 
joyous occasion.



I am so happy for both of you.

Well, folks, it's over. The illustrious Mr. Andre P. Louis done went and 
got hitched. For those who tuned in to the live broadcast, sorry about the 
breakage. Network connectivity wasn't ideal. Fortunately, I have an 
unbroken archive which is being uploaded as we speak, from, of all places, 
the wedding reception itself. Go figure!


Stay tuned for a rebroadcast at 5:00 PM EDT (normal time of the Louis Bin) 
and an archive URL coming to a mailbox near you.

The Talk2 List Fw: Mensa winners

2008-07-15 Thread Mary Ann
 
  The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any 
word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one 
letter, and supply a new definition. 

  Here are this year's winners. Read them carefully. Each is an artificial word 
with only one letter altered to form a real word. Some are terrifically 
innovative:

  1. Intaxication : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you 
realize it was your money to start with. 

  2. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

  3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright 
ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of 
breaking down in the near future. 

  4. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject 
financially impotent for an indefinite period.

  5. Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

  6. Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who 
doesn't get it. 

  7. Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

  8. Hipatitis : Terminal coolness.

  9. Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

  10. Karmageddon : It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really 
bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's, like, a serious 
bummer. 

  11. Decafalon (n.): The gruelling event of getting through the day consuming 
only things that are good for you.

  12. Glibido: All talk and no action.

  13. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they 
come at you rapidly.

  14. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've 
accidentally walked through a spider web.

  15. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your 
bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out. 

  16. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the 
fruit you're eating.

  And 
  The #1 pick: 

  17. Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

The Talk2 List Groundhog Day airs After The John Zone

2008-06-16 Thread Mary Ann
Hi All,

Last night, Bec pointed out to me that it was a year ago that I started airing 
movies. So I thought I would air one tomorrow night since I haven't done so in 
a really long time.

So tomorrow after the John Zone, come to the movies channel and watch Groundhog 
day with us.

At 9:15 PM tomorrow after the John Zone, point your favorite player to the 
following link.
http://tbrn.net:/movies.ogg

Here is a plot synopsis.

A weather man is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting 
rat (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he makes
no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the 'following' day he discovers 
that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again. First he uses this
to his advantage, then comes the realization that he is doomed to spend the 
rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing
EVERY day. 

See you then.

The Talk2 List Kickin' back with a movie tonight

2008-03-23 Thread Mary Ann
Hi and Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it.

Every year, I have a special tradition. After family time is spent and the 
night is winding down, I always kick back with yummy chocolate and watch Willy 
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I've been doing this for years. I thought I 
would air the movie tonight and share my tradition with all of you.

So tonight at 10 PM Eastern, join me for an airing of Willie Wonka and the 
Chocolate Factory. I am doing it at 10 instead of 9 because I am still at my 
mom and dad's and I may not make it home by 9.

Instead of airing on the main TBRN network, I will be airing on the movies 
channel. The channel will become available for you to access at 9:45 PM. 

Point your media player to the following link at 10 and share in the movie with 
me.

  Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should
  spend the rest of your day..

  There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush.

  By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully 
expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

  Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,
  how should he express himself?

  Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer...

  He opens his mouth and says. I would like to buy a pair of Sunglasses.  
If you got this wrong, please turn off your computer and call it a day.

  I've got mine shutting down right now.

Alas, it is that time of the week once more where the younger Clower twin

Featured on this week's edition of the John Zone will be more live recordings 
from The Band Behind The House, (see Blart from February 16 for more details), 
as well as an amusing station ID featuring my nephew, Andrew, and perhaps an 
episode of The Red Green Show if you're really really good.

But what would The John Zone be without some form of incrimination?  This 
week, I have decided to expose my dark secretive past and play for you all one 
of the many KIDS Radio recordings of mine.  KIDS Radio was more or less the 
WDGL or WPAT of my childhood.  Unfortunately almost all of the recordings i 
made between 1995 and 1999 have survived.  So tonight I will present you all 
with the tape that includes a top 20 countdown featuring the ever-hyperactive 
Space Ghost sidekick, Brak.  Will I regret this?  Maybe so, but it will be well 
worth the amusement.  So grab a beverage of a refreshing and/or adult nature 
and kick back with, oh wait that's a different show, tonight beginning at 9PM 
EST, 8PM CST, 4PM HST, 2AM GMT, and 3PM NZDT at http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg.

  Hi everyone!

  Over the past month, I brought an idea to life for a very special gift 
that I made for a very special person. With the help of my sister, we managed 
to turn Braille into clay. As a part of the gift, I included a recording of the 
gift-making experience. During my show I would like to share the recordings 
with all of you tonight.

  So join me at 9 PM Eastern and listen as you hear Mary Ann squish clay 
into fragments, play with finger-painting, laugh uncontrollably at her sister's 
humor, and talk about interesting ways that a person could read Braille. You 
will learn, in an entertaining way, more than you thought you'd ever want to 
know about ceramics. 

  This is not your typical art class, people. I promise you that. 

  At 9 PM tonight, point your streaming media player to the following link,

Since the host of the show got a little drunk and barely remembers all of the 
strange hilarity that ensued while doing this show, it has been brought up that 
she should re-air it during her normal timeslot, as well as to include 
commentary. 

And so I shall.

If you missed the MarAmy show on Friday night, stay tuned tonight for the sober

The Talk2 List HUMOR ] Travel

2008-01-13 Thread Mary Ann

NEXT TIME YOU FLY

Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight 
safety lecture, and their other announcements, a bit more entertaining.


Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:

There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of 
this airplane...


Your seat cushions can be used for flotation, and in the event of an 
emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments.


We do feature a smoking section on this flight; if you must smoke, please 
contact a member of the flight crew and they will escort you to the wing of 
the airplane.


Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited.  Any person caught smoking in the 
lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately.


Pilot - Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to 
switch the seat belt sign off.  Feel free to move about as you wish, but 
please stay inside the plane till we land...  it's a bit cold outside, and 
if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern.


And, after landing: Thank you for flying Delta Business Express.  We hope 
you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a 
ride.


As we waited just off the runway for another airliner to cross in front of 
us, some of the passengers were beginning to retrieve luggage from the 
overhead bins.  The head attendant announced on the intercom, This aircraft 
is equipped with a video surveillance system that monitors the cabin during 
taxiing.  Any passengers not remaining in their seats until the aircraft 
comes to a full and complete stop at the gate will be strip searched as they 
leave the aircraft.


Once on a Southwest flight, the pilot said, We've reached our cruising 
altitude now, and I'm turning off the seat belt sign.  I'm switching to 
autopilot, too, so I can come back there and visit with all of you for the 
rest of the flight.


As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone 
voice comes over the loudspeaker: Whoa, big fella...WHOA..!


Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead 
area.  Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting 
children or adults acting like children.


As you exit the plane, please be sure to gather all of your belongings. 
Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. 
Please do not leave children or spouses.


Last one off the plane must clean it.

And from the pilot during his welcome message: We are pleased to have some 
of the best flight attendants in the industry...Unfortunately, none of them 
are on this flight...!


Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake 
City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, That was quite a 
bump and I know what ya'll are thinking.  I'm here to tell you it wasn't the 
airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight 
attendants' fault.it was the asphalt!


Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a 
particularly windy and bumpy day.  During the final approach the Captain was 
really having to fight it.  After an extremely hard landing, the Flight 
Attendant came on the PA and announced, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to 
Amarillo.  Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while 
the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!


Another flight Attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: We ask 
you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.


After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a flight 
attendant on a Northwest flight announced: Please take care when opening 
the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that. I'm sure that 
everything has shifted.


From a Southwest Airlines employee  Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX 
to YYY.  To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, 
and pull tight.  It works just like every other seat belt, and if you don't 
know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public 
unsupervised.  In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks 
will drop from the ceiling.  Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over 
your face.  If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask 
before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, 
decide now which one you love more.  Weather at our destination is 50 
degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before 
we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more 
than Southwest Airlines.


An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his

The Talk2 List Airing tonight at 9 PM, it's Kicking Clower

2008-01-06 Thread Mary Ann
Due to a strange sounding voice, a stuffy head, and the need for Kleenex while 
sneezing, Mary Ann has asked one John Clower of the John Zone, to fill in her 
place. And he has willingly  agreed to oblige.

So stay tuned at 9 PM tonight for John's cover of my show which is 
affectionately entitled, Kicking Clower.

I will be back next week when I can breathe easier and give all of you the Mary 
Ann magic that you deserve. 

Point your favorite streaming media player to the following link, Kick Clower, 
and enjoy.

Hi everybody,

Our favorite John is caught up in final exams that do not allow breathing as an 
option for this Tuesday. and since he cannot breathe, well, guess it would be 
kinda tough to do his show, eh? Can any of you talk without breathing? Hmm. 

Well if you can, you should call in and show us all how, when The John Zone 
returns. John will be posting to let us know when he'll be gracing us with his 
presence over the airwaves once more.

Until then, bye for now.

The Talk2 List Instead of Kickin' Back with Mary Ann, let's watch a movie instead!

2007-12-09 Thread Mary Ann
Hi everyone,

This week of work has been very long and I am in much need of a bit of 
self-kick backment. So I thought maybe you might like to kick back with me for 
a Christmas movie instead. 

I have never seen A Miracle on 34TH Street. Maybe some of you haven't seen it 
either. So I thought we could all grab some hot chocolate or some popcorn or 
anything else that sounds yummy and like comfort food or drink when cold 
weather, snow, and freezing rain happens and this time of year, and watch it 
tonight . It seems that many people are having a 70-degree holiday season. A 
very dear friend suggested turning on the AC and drinking hot chocolate. Wow 
what has happened to our weather! 

Important: The link to watch the movie is different than that of the main 
network.

If you would like to watch the descriptive video version of this movie with me 
tonight at 9 PM, point your TBRN-capable media player to the following link
http://tbrn.net:/movies.ogg

The link will become available for you to access starting at 8:30 PM.

Lastly, there are times when I air random movies on this special channel. 
E-mail me privately if you would like to be notified of my random airing of 
movies. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Hope to see you tonight.

Here is a synopsis of the movie.

At the Macy's Department Store Thanksgiving Day parade, the actor playing Santa 
is discovered to be drunk by a whiskered old man. Doris Walker, the no nonsense
special events director, persuades the old man to take his place. The old man 
proves to be a sensation and is quickly recruited to be the store Santa at
the main Macy's outlet. While he is successful, Ms. Walker learns that he calls 
himself Kris Kringle and he claims to be the actual Santa Claus. Despite
reassurances by Kringle's doctor that he is harmless, Doris still has 
misgivings, especially when she has cynically trained herself, and especially 
her
daughter, Susan, to reject all notions of belief and fantasy. And yet, people, 
especially Susan, begin to notice there is something special about Kris
and his determination to advance the true spirit of Christmas amidst the 
rampant commercialism around him and succeeding in improbable ways. When a 
raucous
conflict with the store's cruelly incompetent psychologist erupts, Kris finds 
himself held at Bellevue where, in despair, he deliberates fails a mental
examination to ensure his commitment. All seems lost until Doris' friend, Fred 
Gaily, reassure Kris of his worth and agrees to represent him in the fight
to secure his release. To achieve that, Fred arranges a formal hearing in which 
he argues that Kris is sane because he is in fact Santa Claus. What ensues
is a bizarre hearing in which people's beliefs are reexamined and put to the 
test, but even so, it's going to take a miracle for Kris to win. 

Doris Walker a no-nonsense Macy's executive, desperately searches for a new 
store Santa. She hires Kris Kringle who insists that he's the real Santa Claus.
But, he has many skeptics like Doris and her six year old daughter, Susan. So 
Kris goes to court to try and prove it. Is he the real Santa Claus?

  Hey all

The John Zone will be somewhat delayed tonight as I have a prior engagement 
which just happened to fall at 7:00 this evening.  With luck I can be back by 
9:00 CST.  However since this is a relatively late hour, I may reschedule my 
oh-so random show for a makeup slot later this week, particularly if this event 
tonight takes longer than expected.  Hmmm.  A show from 11 to 2AM Eastern Time? 
 On a week night?  No thank you!  I apologize for the short notice, but it 
really is that time of the semester when papers and meetings and projects 
abound.  For those who don't have my MSN messenger ID address monicker, that 
may be the best way to keep up to date with my ever-changing show schedule, 
since I don't always have the time to send out an EMail to the various TBRN 
lists.  Feel free to add [EMAIL PROTECTED] iffen you don't already have it.

Hi everyone.

Since many people did not get to listen to my Thanksgiving show, and since 
today technically wraps up the last day of the Thanksgiving weekend, 
during my
time slot, I am going to re-air my Thanksgiving show from Thursday night. 
I will sign into the messengers so that you all know that there is 
specific automated
content. During this show, you will be able to reach me via the 
messengers, though calls will not be forwarded.



Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Every year, I have a tradition of spending a bit of time during the 
Thanksgiving evening to reflect on all that I am thankful for. This year, 
I would like to share this tradition with all of you.


Join me for a Thanksgiving edition of Kickin' Back with Mary Ann, which

And yes, Amy, Ummy, and Ubby, it was great to spend last Thanksgiving with you 
and your (strange) I mean, wonderful heheheh, family. I'm thankful that even 
though you dislocated your knee when you visited me in Michigan (just by 
standing up from a couch) back in 95, the only thing that happened to me during 
last year's visit was that I got a really bad cold. Hehehahhahaha!

Seriously, spending Thanksgiving with you and your family last years was a 
memory that I will cherish always. 

Not to mention serious blackmail with the dinner-hour recordings I got from it. 
Hehehehheheh.

Amy, doesn't that sound like you don't like the paperwork aspect, though? and 
that it was a deciding factor? Just understanding your thoughts.

I think that if people go into a field because of some underlying facet of 
their personality that drives them to go into the field and if that sense of 
purpose for them, is helping others and that resonates with them enough to be 
an awesome Social Worker, more power to them. I don't think there is anything 
wrong with allowing your social motivators (See find your ideal career podcast) 
 to drive a desire to help others. It is when that desire does not drive their 
passion and quality of work so that quality only equates to being high enough 
to support them beyond being a volunteer, instead of a social worker, that 
there becomes a problem, I think.

Just throwing in my two cents for fun here, really.

  The thing is, that you still can do good and give back to people in this 
world without having a job as a social worker or what ever.  The paperwork 
wasn't the deciding no factor for me however, it was the fact that you spend 
more time in most cases dealing with red tape and overload of cases rather than 
doing the good for humanity that drew you to the field in the first place.

  If you ask someone that graduated with their MSW why they got that degree, 
their generic response is because I want to help people,  That's awesome, I'm 
all for helping people, but you can accomplish that task by volunteering your 
time coaching special Olympics or being a big brother or big sister, a victim 
advocate or crisis center volunteer--go work for habitat for humanity.  My 
point, is that you can give and get back ten fold without a job as a social 
worker.

  Paperwork should be outlawed in my opinion.  It exists in almost every 
profession where you spend any time working with people, but it is still an 
awful task!  *frowns*

  TO MY DEAR WIFE:

  During the past year I have tried to make love to you 365 times.
  I have succeeded 36 times, which is an average of once every ten days.
  The following is a list of why I did not succeed more often:
  54 times the sheets were clean
  17 times it was too late
  49 times you were too tired
  20 times it was too hot
  15 times you pretended to be sleep
  22 times you had a headache
  17 times you were afraid of waking the baby
  16 times you said you were too sore
  12 times it was the wrong time of the month
  19 times you had to get up early
  9 times you said weren't in the mood
  7 times you were sunburned
  6 times you were watching the late show
  5 times you didn't want to mess up your new hairdo
  3 times you said the neighbors would hear us
  9 times you said your mother would hear us

  Of the 36 times I did succeed, the activity was not satisfactory because:

  6 times you just lay there
  8 times you reminded me there's a crack in the ceiling
  4 times you told me to hurry up and get it over with
  7 times I had to wake you and tell you I finished
  1 time I was afraid I had hurt you because I felt you move

  KEEP READING...

  TO MY DEAR HUSBAND:
  I think you have things a little confused. Here are the reasons you didn't
  get more than you did:
  5 times you came home drunk and tried to screw the cat
  36 times you did not come home at all
  21 times you didn't cum
  33 times you came too soon
  19 times you went soft before you got in
  38 times you worked too late
  10 times you got cramps in your toes
  29 times you had to get up early to play golf
  2 times you were in a fight and someone kicked you in the balls
  4 times you got it stuck in your zipper
  3 times you had a cold and your nose was running
  2 times you had a splinter in your finger
  20 times you lost the notion after thinking about it all day
  6 times you came in your pajamas while reading a dirty book
  98 times you were too busy watching TV
  Of the times we did get together:
  The reason I laid still was because you missed and were screwing the
  sheets.
  I wasn't talking about the crack in the ceiling, what I said was, Would you
  prefer me on my back or kneeling?
  The time you felt me move was because you farted and I was trying to
  breathe.

Barry Badillow! Hehhahahhha! Oh god that's great, Patrick! Ya know, when you 
made that mega mix, I was expecting it to be much shorter, then to be 
followed with a bang. I think you need to make a Barry Bang, version of 
that. Hehehehehehe.


And as for Doug? Don't think that I wouldn't do that. I could very easily 
just hop on the main TBRN stream when no one else is on and play every Barry 
album I have. My folder says I have 14 at this moment. But many of these are 
multidisk sets.


Good idea, Amy. I'll save this Mani-fest for a last resort for when certain

Of course, Like a good neighbor...

I am stuck on a bandade cuz a bandade's stuck on me!
It's not a kola cuz kola's by the score. So Drink Doctor Pepper, the joy of

Just for the record, would you guys like to know why, I like him? 
Hehehehhe. I'll tell ya. I like the arrangement and instrumentation of 
his music. I like his cord structures also. There are times in my life 
where I associate specific songs that are his. Some of them tell a 
story. Some of them just feel good. And I think he has done something 
right in order to be able to pull in any musician he wants, to work on 
albums with him. He has been in the industry for over 30 years and still 
manages to keep going. Many artists cannot claim such things. His 
singing isn't all that great, I will give you that. But it's what is 
behind the music for me.


Not that I felt I had to defend myself to anyone cuz I am who I am and 
that's that. But I just wanted to see where I would end up going with 
this. Heheheheh.

The only problem I see with a barry fest, is that the goal of any 
station,
online or not is to atract listeners.  I know, some people are 
concerned
with the quality of such listeners and well, if were going to be 
concerned

with listener quality, barry fans are either to old, or just young and
strange. Face it, if you like barry and your under 50, there's 
something

badly wrong, right?

In another 30 years, Josh groben will also be demoted to this status

  Hey Amy, speaking of cutie things, did you know that Derek made a 
keychain out of you for Beyond Toys? See the end of John's Tuesday show for 
details. Or, alternatively, Derek, you could send us all a link to the Amy 
keychain, eh? 

  And I still don't think it's fair that she gets to be in a cute little 
keychain and all I get is made into this perverse wave file. Wah!

Hey Maria,

There are few words that can offer consolation in times like these. I am 
thinking of you and your family. I am here for you if you need a friend to 
cry to, a word of support, or just someone to sit and talk with about 
anything but the situation. Maybe you just need someone to help you think 
through the terrible logistics that no one ever wants to have to think about 
when things like this happen.


If you need to get an emergency flight, there are airlines that may offer a 
deeply discounted bereavement flight if you provide to the airline, a faxed 
copy of the name of the person who has passed on, their relationship to you, 
the name of the funeral home, and doctor.


If you need any help with the clerical aspect of these details, let me know. 
I've done this before when I had to fly from Portland to Michigan. I can 
help with making calls or coordinating faxing between parties if you get 
stuck without faxing capabilities.


Whatever you need, I will help. Just say the word.

Re: The Talk2 List more oddness!

2007-10-23 Thread Mary Ann
Do you remember geometry books in highschool? Those raised  drawings on those 
thermoform pages? Ah. All those 90-degree angles and circles with the cute 
little Braille numbers to show us the degrees when you drew an arc through the 
circles. Blech! Anyway, what if they had those damn Playboy or Centerfold 
magazines to look like those geometry graphs? Whoa! 

 As for the tattoos?

The description suggests that the person getting this, isn't actually getting a 
tattoo, but they are getting a Braille implant instead. I don't think this
would be something I'd want either, Amy. And the zits comment was damn funny!   

The feeling of smooth skin is great. Even the feeling of natural blemishes or 
marring due to life and all that it brings is understandable and can offer
something unique. I have a small pock mark on my left cheek from when I had 
chicken pocks. Guys who have dated me have said that it is unobtrusive and 
looks more like
freckles and offers character. Who the hell knows. But I don't think I'd want 
Braille implants.  I like my body just the way it is, thanks. Heheh.

If people enjoy tattoos, more power to ya. For me, I guess I think that if I 
was meant to have a tattoo, Ida been born with a built-in pen.

And as for why anyone would want to feel the thing, depending on where it was 
placed? Is there any place that it could be placed that you'd wanna feel it? 
Uh, I don't think sowowowowow... 

How attractive would it be to run your hands over your partner's skin and run 
your favorite Braille-reading finger over the words, Amy, Mary Ann, Julie, 
Sam, Cindy, Donna, Michelle, Rosie, or whatever. Heheheheheh. Especially, now 
that I think of it, if you're name wasn't any of those! lol!

  Yeah see I had one of those when I was a kid--the Rubik's Cube in Braille.
  My dad and I labeled it.  I only got the block once.  So then I got irritated 
at the thing, and tore off all the little stickers so then they all matched so 
it didn't matter.  Sort of defeating the purpose you know?  hehehhehheh

  Yeah I think that some of this goes a bit overboard.  I mean I'm all for 
accessibility and broadening ones horizons, but wow!  My mom was the one that 
sent me these, and she could not wrap her head round the idea behind the 
Braille tattoos either!
  Personally I can't either. If I want a tattoo, I'll go and get one, and that 
will be that.
  Plus given the places that some folks put tattoos, why in hell would you have 
the impulse to feel them anyway?

  It just amazes me the things people come up with!  I have no reason, like 
you, to feel a neck tie, or bottle of wine or beer.  That's excessive to me.  
So what I want to know, is where is the line between meeting the needs of a 
population to make things more accessible, and when it becomes too much?
  Some blind and visually impaired people would argue that a line doesn't 
exist, hence making it necessary for such things like Braille Play Boy center 
folds and things like that, but to me, it seems that it makes you stand out 
even more, and on the center fold thing, honestly guys, you can do better than 
that!

I like the idea of the Braille Rubik's Cube. I have enough vision that if I 
hold one of the regular ones up to my eyes, I can match the colors on the real 
ones. But I have a hell of a time doing even that. But then I got wise and just 
pealed off all the stickers. Heheheh! It worked yay! All the colors were then 
the same. Sorta defeats the point though, eh? Hah.

I also found the solar-powered retinal chip interesting but it seems kind 
of ironic though. Can you imagine the ads for this thing?

Solar-powered retinal implants: Just add light to get your sight. Gag! 

But Braille neck ties? Braille wine and beer bottles? Do I need to read my 
label in order to drink wine or beer? Hell no. Do I need to feel Braille on a 
man's tie? Kinda strange and, um, blindy. Init? I like the spiritual idea 
behind it in that the designer is trying to open doors to understanding of the 
colors and what they represent. 

This is amusing. The things people think of... Whoa.

You guys wanna know what I had when I was little? I had this padded
headphone radio  with a tuning and volume knob on one ear. They were very
isolated and, though this was when I was like seven, I remember it 
sounding

pretty damn good back then. Until I dropped the thing. Oops. But to this
day, I remember listening to the radio on the first night I got them and
hearing Michael McDonald's song, I Keep Forgettin'. So til this day,
whenever I hear it (not that I particularly like the song very much), I
think of that old headphone radio.

Same for all that, sept I did that at age 3 by putting the tape/radio 
switch in the middle for blankness.
Then there was the really neet way I had of copying stuff that lasted 1 
day(s)

When I was 5, I got one of those mics that let you be on the radio.
When the mic died, which happend about 2 months later, it was still cool 
because that's when the little boombox broke that could do the fake tape

erasing thing.

So I could get myself a blank carier.

Dad took the mic apart and I got a very basic lesson in 
audio/electronics.


I had a set of headphones that broke, but they had a volume slidey thing 
on them.


I cut the plug off and stripped a bit of the bare wires and twisted them 
where the mic part use to be.


Then I could copy stuf

that way!

Mommy saw it, and in order to make it look better, cut some of the wires 
on the pcb, which broke it.


Needless to say, I went cry.

Perhaps this makes me a dork, or a bit too much of a perfectionist, but 
I remember taping stuff off of the radio, and putting the stereo on the 
dub function for like five seconds in between songs so that there was 
space in between them.  Mary Ann, I'd bet you did that too since we are 
so much alike... *smiles*


I had vinyl and cassette tapes up until like '91 or '92.  Yeah, I was a

I also remember the Apple 2E and using BEX as a word processor and

the disks over when it prompted you to do so. I remember playing that

remember

wanting to play the tapes in an audio tapedeck to see what they sounded
like. In the late 80s, I also remember when people started getting into

Anyways, so our bright idea so that she could get the gunk off of her 
shorts was to have her hop into the pool so that is what she did!


You know what's funny, is that my brother because he was really little 
back then doesn't remember much about the times when Mary Ann was over at 
our house, but everyone hands down for some reason, remembers the time 
when Mary ann dropped ribs on her shorts!  hehheheehhha!


Of all the things to be known for!
Ah well.  It is great entertainment value for everyone else I suppose!


Follow your bliss, and the universe will open doors where there were only 
windows.

Knowing Amy and the weird things that happen to her, she probably ended up
falling in. Heheheheheh. Though I must admit that ending up in her pool 
with

something other than a suit on, was really useful when one has dropped an
entire slab of ribs on her shorts. Um, like I, did. Hehehhahahahah!

Yay for swimming and listening to music.
Was it intentional, or was it one of those deals where whatever you were 
wairing became your swim suit, as such?

That's funny!  I had one of those too, and a similar memory too except 
the first song that I heard on that thing was that song Back on the 
Chain Gang by the Pretenders.  Can we say let's take a little trip back 
to the 80's? hehhhehehha
Mine fell into the pool and broke.  I fell in with it so I think that 
the demise of the radio really is not such a huge deal considering.

You guys wanna know what I had when I was little? I had this padded
headphone radio  with a tuning and volume knob on one ear. They were 
very
isolated and, though this was when I was like seven, I remember it 
sounding

pretty damn good back then. Until I dropped the thing. Oops. But to this
day, I remember listening to the radio on the first night I got them and
hearing Michael McDonald's song, I Keep Forgettin'. So til this day,
whenever I hear it (not that I particularly like the song very much), I
think of that old headphone radio.

Same for all that, sept I did that at age 3 by putting the tape/radio 
switch in the middle for blankness.
Then there was the really neet way I had of copying stuff that lasted 1 
day(s)

When I was 5, I got one of those mics that let you be on the radio.
When the mic died, which happend about 2 months later, it was still 
cool because that's when the little boombox broke that could do the 
fake tape

erasing thing.

So I could get myself a blank carier.

Dad took the mic apart and I got a very basic lesson in 
audio/electronics.


I had a set of headphones that broke, but they had a volume slidey 
thing on them.


I cut the plug off and stripped a bit of the bare wires and twisted 
them where the mic part use to be.


Then I could copy stuf

that way

I loved when the film projectors broke and all the film got stuck in it and 
it made all that weird grindy-like noise. Or what about those film strips 
where someone had to turn this knob every time the tape beeped that came 
with the film strip. I always thought I was so cool when I was little and I 
could turn the cute little knob. I have, issues!

always did want to perform or something even way way back then.  hehheh

I remember those machines!
I also remember having to watch those film strips in class as opposed to

I too remember BBS's. I actually had a few friends that ran them back in

Well even if you are a fake blond, you're still a real Amy. Aww.

I also remember the Apple 2E and using BEX as a word processor and 
flipping

the disks over when it prompted you to do so. I remember playing that
Lemonade Game too. In elementary school, I also remember having tape
recorders hooked up to these computers on which kids used to learn math 
and

reading skills. The computers ran off of these tape drives and I remember
wanting to play the tapes in an audio tapedeck to see what they sounded
like. In the late 80s, I also remember when people started getting into
calling BBS's.

I remember watching shows like Kids Incorporated and always loving those
little snippets between cartoons called, One to Grow on.

I remember playing Asteroids and some boxing game on the 2600 but we sure
didn't have tournaments. How cool that you guys did that!

All this writing without any coffee? Uh... I'm off.

Wow does this make me feel ancient!
I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one that called those 976 joke

That's damn funny. But here's the thing. I remember having a microwave 
very
early on in the 80s. It had one of those knobs on it. My dad also had 
those
really old Tandy computers and a five-meg hard drive back in the way 
early
80s. I remember there was a light switch on the wall that lead down to 
the
basement where my dad had his computer and that switch was connected to 
the
power down there. Well my mommy raised me to always turn off the lights. 
So

well, I did. Boy was he mad when all of a sudden, the power was just, uh,
gone when he was working.

The Talk2 List Airing at 11:30 PM EASTERN tonight (Friday) - Collateral

2007-10-19 Thread Mary Ann
Forgive my last minute notice but something made me think about this movie 
tonight. I don't even remember what it was now, but something occurred to me
that has since slipped away.

My apologies if you end up seeing this post twice. I think there was some XML 
in my first attempt that was blocked by the SPAM filter and so it has not shown 
up yet.   

At 11:30, Point your favorite internet radio dial to the standard Mary Ann

Plot summary for
Collateral 
(
2004)

Max has lived a mundane life as a cab driver for twelve years. The faces have 
come and gone from his rear-view mirror: people and places he's long since
forgotten--until tonight. Vincent is a contract killer. When an off-shore 
narco-trafficking cartel learns that they're about to be indicted by a federal
grand jury, they mount an operation to identify and kill the key witness, and 
the last stage is tonight. It is on this very night that Vincent has 
arrived--and
five bodies are supposed to fall. Circumstances cause Vincent to hijack Max' 
taxicab, and Max becomes collateral--an expendable person who's in the wrong
place at the wrong time. Through the night, Vincent forces Max to drive him to 
each assigned destination. And as the L.A.P.D. and F.B.I. race to intercept
them, Max and Vincent's survival become dependent on each other, in ways 
neither would have imagined. Written by 
Sujit R. Varma 

One night in Los Angeles, cab driver Max Durocher picks up a gray-suited man 
named Vincent. Vincent offers Max a large sum of money to drive him to five
locations around LA before the night is up. Max accepts, but realizes that 
Vincent is a hitman who has been hired to kill five people that night. Max is
forced to drive Vincent around the City of Angels, unsure if he'll live to see 
sunrise. Written by 
G-reaper 

Max Durocher (Foxx) is a night-shift cab driver in Los Angeles. He's planning a 
limo company called Island Limos, but has been a cab driver for twelve years.
One night, he picks up a passenger named Vincent (Cruise) who seems like 
another ordinary passenger. But when he drops Vincent off at his location and
waits for him as asked, a body falls on his cab, and it becomes clear that 
Vincent is actually a hitman, and he's got four more stops to make. Written
by 
Ridley Lavine 

For Max, the dreams of his own limo company are what keep him afloat from the 
mundane reminder of his real job: taxi driver, which he has been doing for
over a decade. But one fateful night, Max has one cab fare that he would never 
expect named Vincent. He's a smooth, charismatic fellow who is sharply dressed
and apparently wealthy, offering Max an excellent tip if he'll bring him to 
five stops throughout Los Angeles. But fate intervenes and Max soon finds out
that Vincent isn't a businessman, but a contract hitman making his rounds. As 
the night progresses, Max finds himself under the microscope of a coldblooded
killer. Meanwhile, the police and FBI are onto Max's cab while the two 
ultimately play a psychological cat and mouse game, that will lead to an 
inevitable
climax neither would anticipate. Written by 
mystic80 



Plot Synopsis:
Max is a simple cab driver in Los Angeles. One night he picks up Annie, a 
beautiful DA. The two have very friendly chat where Annie talks about her 
nervousness
over her upcoming trial appearence and Max discusses his dream business...

The Talk2 List Kickin' Back with Mary Ann tonight at 9 PM Eastern

2007-10-14 Thread Mary Ann Topolewski
Okay so I thought I would jump on this cute little bandwagon and ride around
the streets of the internet with its fiber optic cables and satellites and
lands of IP addresses and  little packets and whatever else makes up the
workings of the internet that I have no clue about at all to promote my show
for the week. 

 

Rather than talk about what may happen tonight, I will tease you with Amy's
show notes about what has happened on previous shows. Since there are only
two, this will be easy enough. And her reviews of both shows are sure to
make you laugh. I don't think anyone else could do this but an Amy who has
known me for 19 years. If ya don't wanna read below, just come listen to the
show. Point your favorite TBRN-capable media software to

http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg

 

See you tonight. 

 

 

Amy's show notes for September 30.

 http://maryannn.livejournal.com The most awesomest and bestest and
mostest fantastico friend ever! did her first regular radio show last night
on  http://tbrn.net tbrn.
For those of you who didn't catch it you need to
http://tbrn.net/archives/MaryAnn/MaryAnn.070930.ogg go and grab it right
now!
I mean it.  http://tbrn.net/archives/MaryAnn/MaryAnn.070930.ogg right now!
I had to go and  http://tbrn.net/archives/MaryAnn/MaryAnn.070930.ogg
download it too because I only managed to catch the first part of it.
What's important is that you go and listen to it, because all sorts of
hilarity ensues!
Mary Ann by herself has enough stuff to make things hilarious with all kinds
of incriminating recordings, but things got rolling due to the most
awesomest intro I think in the history of tbrn radio ever! Thanks to
http://reverendbigdawg.livejournal.com/ John, it was an incredible
beginning to her show! Yes, it was truly intro-tastic!
Some trivia for you:
Mary Ann, secretly longs to have sweet nothings both whispered in her ear as
well as sent to her through the mail. If your response to that is huh?
then apparently you haven't been paying attention and missed the part about
going and downloading the file.

Mary Ann, all little and tiny and cte though she is, really, really,
really, really, really snores! I, mean, snores! I mean like sawing some huge
lumber in a very wooded forest kind of snoring!
I'm talking like earth shaking snoring!
Don't believe me?
 http://tbrn.net/archives/MaryAnn/MaryAnn.070930.ogg download the show
archive, and jump your time while playing to exactly 22:00. Make sure that
you're listening with headphones. Now: Listen carefully. Hear that in the
background of the Mary Ann song? That's, her, honker, going at it! It
totally amazes me that that sound came out of her! I'd say that it was
snore-tastic but I'm not sure that there is any way possible that snoring
like that could be considered fantastic or any variation thereof. It might
not be worthy of a variation on fantastic, but it is damn funny!!
Now, in the same file jump back in time a little to 21:58, so that you can
listen to and totally appreciate  http://reverendbigdawg.livejournal.com/
John's awesome and rockin' intro, which pretty much lumps Mary Ann and her
various degrees if silliness (some even at warp speed). Ok. Now, feel free
to listen to the rest of the show from beginning to end at your leisure.



 

Amy's Show notes for October 7

Another splendid Sunday evening has come and gone--ok so I'm totally aware
that it is Monday or actually now Tuesday, but some of us have to work
right? hehhehhehahahahah
If you haven't tuned in yet, you missed another evening of Kickin' Back With
Mary Ann! No, the promo isn't necessary, but it's fun, and worth your time
to listen live, and if you can't for some reason--um--well considering the
time of evening that it's on hopefully it's a good one, you need to go and
http://tbrn.net/archives/MaryAnn/MaryAnn.071007.ogg download the archive.
As usual when you're hangin' out with Mary Ann, hilarity ensues!
Mary Ann is recovering from a day of much running around and so she's all
tense until she has some wine. From that point on, it is truly an evening of
Kickin' Back with Mary Ann!
We bring our Strange Kitchen and Eating Events poll to life by reading the
answers on air. She then opened it up to folks to call in and share more
funny kitchen and food blunders. We hear all about fuzzy cookies, blackened
cupcakes, fried soup and toasted grass, Derek's whistling biscuits (complete
with sound affects), exploding stoves, and why it's probably a bad idea to
let  http://reverendbigdawg.livejournal.com John play with the condiments
at the IHOP and mix them with coffee! . Hot sauce and syrup and
sweeten low and coffee! Can we say bottoms up fellas? Needless to say, I am
amazed that  http://reverendbigdawg.livejournal.com John, has any stomach
lining left! hehhehhehhahahaha!
We are introduced to barfing Becky, and her fizzing popping candies! It's
like a weird public service announcement about why an entire package of sour
apple PopRocks in your mouth all it once

The Talk2 List airing at 9:30 PM Eastern time tonight - The Breakfast Club

2007-10-10 Thread Mary Ann Topolewski
My friend Amy and I were talking about this movie recently. It is from the
early 80s, and is a part of a slew of classics from the day and it's a great
movie. No description necessary. The dialog speaks for itself. Come on in
with your favorite food and or beverage and join us for the movie at 9:30 PM
tonight. 

 

Point WinAmp to the following URL

http://tbrn.net:/movies.ogg 

 

Here is a synopsis.

 

The Breakfast Club

 

John Hughes wrote and directed this quintessential 1980s high school drama
featuring the hottest young stars of the decade. Trapped in a day-long
Saturday detention in a prison-like school library are Claire, the princess
(Molly Ringwald); Andrew, the jock (Emilio Estevez); John, the criminal
(Judd Nelson); Brian, the brain (Anthony Michael Hall); and Allison, the
basket case (Ally Sheedy). These five strangers begin the day with nothing
in common, each bound to his/her place in the high school caste system. Yet
the students bond together when faced with the villainous principal (Paul
Gleason), and they realize

that they have more in common than they may think, including a contempt for
adult society. When you grow up, your heart dies, Allison proclaims in one

of the film's many scenes of soul-searching, and, judging from the adults
depicted in the film, the teen audience may very well agree. Released in a
decade

overflowing with derivative teen films, The Breakfast Club has developed an
almost cult-like status. ~ Dylan Wilcox, All Movie Guide

Aww. Andre. That's nice! You'd do dat fer m? Heheheh.

I won't have a lot of the technical pieces worked out by then so that the
show is perfect. So it's gonna be very-much in the rough. But if you go in
and listen for content and not so much for the fact that I don't have
compression yet and nor will I have the perfect phone solution. Patrick is
currently giving me the, You need this cable and that cable and this thing
and that thing, talk. So I think these things will get squared away here
pretty soon. But I'm going to do the show regardless of perfection or lack
there of. if I don't get out there and do it, I'll never do it. So there ya
have it. Wish me luck.

you see if I don't!

On Thursday, September 27, 2007 3:06 AM,
Mary Ann Topolewski happened to mention in passing:

 I remember back in May of 05 when I was too scared to call into a show.
 Here it is, almost two and a half years later, and I'm finally ready to
 do a show of my own. Wow.



 What is it?

 The show is called Kickin' Back with Mary Ann. It will be a mix of music,
 life, silliness, maybe some inspiration that comes from a story or two,
 and of course, listener interaction. After all, where would the show be
 without the listeners?



 When is it?

 My show will debut this Sunday, September 30, from 9 until 11 PM Eastern
 time.



 How do you listen?

 Like all shows on The Beyond Radio Network, mine can be heard on the main
 channel.

 Just point WinAmp to the following link.

 So bring your favorite food and/or beverage with you and come Kick Back
 with Mary Ann beginning this Sunday, from 9 to 11 PM Eastern time.



 See you there.

RE: The Talk2 List How many?

Ya know what I was wondering about the thing, though? How do you break the
count? Does it measure by moisture or by how many times (this is gonna sound
bad, btw) something rubs over it? So could you feasibly run it under the
faucet and then rub it on some paper towel and would it tell you that you
have licked it X number of times? I just don't get it.

RE: The Talk2 List MARRIED LIFE - Mary Ann unleashes! Look out!

2007-09-21 Thread Mary Ann Topolewski
I am really amazed at the type of responses I've seen come through since I
posted this yesterday wow! It is interesting to watch people open up and
share thoughts and feelings. I appreciate all of the comments and I'm glad
it touched people somehow.

Byron, you raise something that is interesting to me here. I am interested
in what other people think, too. Ya see, I'm not expert in all this. I just
observe and draw conclusions. And read about stuff. Heh.

Byron, you talk about wanting someone to share in at least some of your
interests. What I'm curious about (this is for anyone to comment on) is
whether or not it matters which interests she shares in, based on the level
of importance the interest holds for you. I'll paint a picture.

I have this theory that men want to be with someone who shares in whatever
interest is most important to them. So if a man is most interested in techy
stuff, for example, he would most likely be more attracted to a woman who is
into it as well. Wouldn't that seem most logical? After all, the word,
relationship implies the ability to relate. If a woman does not share the
same interest as her partner, wouldn't that also suggest an inability to
relate? 

I asked this very question to a friend of mine and here is what he said.
She and I do things together that we both enjoy. It doesn't matter to me
that she cannot relate to me in my top interests because there is a special
feeling that comes from the time we spend, and just knowing that she is so
good to me and that she truly cares for me. If I want to talk about things
that she and I can't talk about, I just go talk to someone else. That
fulfills me just fine.

This seems hard for me to believe. If I were dating someone who is really
into audio production and I wasn't, it would seem to me that regardless of
whatever else we shared, he would most prefer to be with someone who is also
into audio production. 

Suppose the girl was interested in learning more about the man's joys. She
read up on it, asked questions, went to events with him on the subject so
she could be a part of it, and even if she hadn't explored it on her own
until he came along, she was willing to do so now, both for the sake of
understanding his enjoyment, as well as to broaden her own horizons. Would
this matter? Wouldn't her level of interest have to be homegrown for it to
truly count?

Mary Ann

Mary Ann,
This e-mail helped me greatly, I have been in a lot of relationships 
where I feel like I can't be myself. I am a quirky guy who likes to play 
with computers, radios, and phones. I like to record interesting or 
really mundane things like trips to the grocery store. My friends are 
very important to me, and I spend a lot of time with them. I don't feel 
like I am allowed to be this type of person when I'm dating someone. I 
feel like I have to spend every waking moment with her. I feel like I've 
got roses and chocolates coming out of my ears and it'll never end. I 
hate the fluffy puppy love crap, I want to find someone who will let me 
be the kind of person I really am around her. I don't want to cut her 
out of my life and hide in a cave and spend my entire day on the 
computer, but I would like to not feel like a slime bucket when I do. I 
want to find someone who will be interested in some of the same stuff as 
me, and wouldn't mind sharing these hobbies with me. I'm willing to 
participate in her hobbies too but it never seems to work that way. 
Every woman I've ever dated has always tried to take away everything I 
hold dear, and replace it with stuff she wants me to participate in. I'm 
a geek, I like who I am, stop trying to make me someone I'm not! Watch 
Star Trek with me and don't belittle it. Listen to books with me, and 
comment on the parts that you liked and disliked. Help to broaden my 
horizons and expose me to new ideas that I've never thought of. Talk to 
me on an intellectual level, I'm not an idiot. Be a part of my circle of 
friends, or at least let me hang out with them on a regular basis. These 
are the things I'm looking for in a relationship, and your e-mail helped 
me understand the way women think a bit better. Maybe if I had said some 
of these things to the people I've dated, things may have changed for 
the better. Perhaps if I were more open with people, they would 
understand me a little better.

Thanks Mary Ann,

you are more sheltered than you are, ask no favors, and don't give to

occur in future, which, after a point, you may be powerless to stop.

 feel like I have to spend every waking moment with her. I feel like I've
 got roses and chocolates coming out of my ears and it'll never end. I
 hate the fluffy puppy love crap, I want to find someone who will let me
 be the kind of person I really am around her. I don't want to cut her
 out of my life and hide in a cave and spend my entire day on the
 computer, but I would like to not feel like a slime bucket when I do. I
 want to find someone who will be interested in some of the same stuff as

RE: The Talk2 List MARRIED LIFE - Mary Ann unleashes! Look out!

2007-09-20 Thread Mary Ann Topolewski
This is a very funny story, just by how it is written and I got a good
chuckle out of it. But ya know? Maybe I'm weird but there are things I
really hate about what I see that goes on in relationships. Uh-oh... *Mary
Ann gets on her soapbox for a minute and hopes she doesn't scare people
away.* 

I have a problem with pet names. Nicknames that were born of a fun event or
because of an inside joke are one thing. Especially when they are not used
all the time. But to me, the minute pet names are introduced into any
relationship and you start replacing the person's real name with those, it's
done. Eventually you stop viewing your partner as the hot and sexy person
they are. There is nothing more powerful, I think, than hearing the person
that you love, saying your name. And no, peoples, I don't just mean in bed!
Hah!

Something else I see that causes me concern is when a woman begins to boss
her man around. How many men want to have sex with their mother? Well, a
few, I'm sure. But for the most part, the normal men are not turned on by
such things. This mothering happens when the woman does too much for him or
when she is bossy. 

It would be interesting to poll men to ask them what makes them cheat. My
feeling is that we would find that men are tempted to cheat if the following
criteria are met.
She nags instead of asks
She dominates by being bossy rather than respectfully asking for what she
needs or wants.
She is disrespectful to her man by using condescending remarks such as,
shut up, You don't know anything, I don't care what you want. Or worse
remarks such as, Stop touching me! I don't like that! Don't kiss me
there! Eww, you're gross! Even if said in fun, I think that if you ask a
man, he might say that somewhere inside; a little piece of his ego was
chipped away each time she does this.
Stifling him in the relationship when he feels that his woman doesn't let,
him do things. Should a woman have the right to let, or not let a person do
things? A relationship is supposed to be about trust. Therefore, if a man
wants to go out with the guys to a bar, to a strip club, or just drink a few
beers at home, this ultimately would not pose an issue. It's all about
moderation, I think. The minute a woman starts saying thinks like, I don't
want you doing this, this, that, or that, chances are, whether he admits it
or not, he's a very stifled and potentially restricted and unhappy man.
And because of all this, the sex is now bad.

It would also be interesting to poll women to ask them what makes them
cheat. I have the feeling that it would be because of the following reasons.
She can't be herself around him.
He doesn't listen and tells her she shouldn't be upset.
He doesn't tell her how precious she is to him.
He does not make enough time for her.
He does not help her with domestic things, or her internal struggles.
And because of all this, the sex is now bad.

Women need to know that they are free to be themselves. The big no-no
phrases to hear are, You shouldn't be upset, or don't worry about it.
Women want to talk and to be heard. Our way of thinking things through is by
talking. Men, have you ever wondered why a woman will start a conversation
with one opinion and by the time she's done, she will have a completely
different point of view? This is because she was able to refine her thoughts
just by your listening to her and not providing a solution. 

To come out the hero, men can reassure her and recognize that a woman gets
insecure. When she seems angry, this translates to her actually being hurt.
Women, need, reassurance. It's as simple as that. When she is upset, she
doesn't talk to you because she doesn't trust you. You can reassure her that
whenever she is ready to talk, you will be there to just sit and listen
while she talks it through. When a woman cries, it is her way of expression.
Let her ball until she can't ball no more! Hugs are good during these times,
even if it is about you. When she's done, she'll be free of her burden.

I also get the feeling that often, women don't know how to handle men when
they are upset. Men often think things through by silently working through
it on their own until the time they are ready to talk. 

Women are the heroines when they leave a man alone until he is ready to
share his feelings. When a man retreats, let him. Tell him that you notice
something is wrong and you'll wait patiently for him to come to you when
he's ready to talk. You understand that he just needs some space right now
and it's okay.   

For the women, I say the following.
It has been said that a man would be happy to give a woman anything she
wanted if he only knew what it was. I learned in my life that it is better
to begin a sentence, with, I want more of this or that, instead of, I
don't want you to do this, this, or that. Nobody is a mind reader and the
minute people begin to assume that their partner loves them because they,
should just know what I want, things begin to break.

So men, if you

The Talk2 List The Strange kitchen and eating events poll

2007-09-19 Thread Mary Ann Topolewski
Hi All,

 

For those of you who may not know, I used to work at a market research firm
when I lived in Portland, Oregon. Part of the work that I did was to help
with survey design and testing. It is with great pleasure to invite those of
you with Live Journals to see my talents put to such productive use!

 

You can participate in a survey that my best friend Amy and I put together
by visiting Amy's journal. You can also view all answers so far. I will post
them to the list after a bit more time in the field. Ack! I can't believe I
just said, In the field! I am not a market researcher any, more! This will
become apparent to anyone who participates. It seems that you must be logged
in with your username in order to take part. So if you cannot see fields to
fill out, that's probably why.

 

Anyway, it's a short poll and it's fun and it gives you the opportunity to
incriminate yourself by sharing your cooking and eating habits, as well as
with anything crazy that has happened to you in the kitchen. 

 

To take the poll, visit the link below.

This is yucky!


 

The Curtin Rods
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and
suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining
room table by candlelight, put on some soft background music, and feasted on
a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had
finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten
shrimp shells dipped in caviar, into the hollow of the curtain rods. She
then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the
first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried
everything, cleaning, mopping, and airing the place out. Vents were checked
for dead rodents, and carpets were steam cleaned. Air fresheners were hung
everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during
which they had to move out for a few days, and in the end they even paid to
replace the expensive wool carpeting.
Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to
work in the house. The maid quit.
Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not
find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out, and eventually, even the
local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a
huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place.

The ex-wife called the man, and asked how things were going. He told her the
saga of the rotting house. She listened politely, and said that she missed
her old home terribly, and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement
in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how
bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the
house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day.
She agreed, and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.
A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the
moving company pack everything to take to their new home, including the
curtain rods.

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU

The Science Fair

 

According to Principal Chris, the school science fair this year was very
educational. At the same time, Principal Chris announced plans to quit the
school
system and become a Computer doob. It sounds like a safer job, the
Principal said.

 

Several Crazy projects were disqualified this year. The experiment on Animal
Magnetism by Heather was canceled before we could plug in her Doob. The
project
by Joe on Gravity's Effect on First Graders was canceled when the custodians
wouldn't let him borrow a ladder. And the nuclear-powered Microwave built
by Bob was taken away by the police, who said Kerri will be back in school
any day now.

 

Nick won second prize with an experiment that asked, Can Erts Learn Karate?
(The answer was yes.) The Erts tossed Principal Chris over a Boombox and
left
the science fair. Anyone who sees them should call the main office.

 

Alice won first prize with her TNT Oranges. By planting seeds in gunpowder
and watering them with nitroglycerin, she grew Oranges that explode when you
drop them. What a dynamite idea, the Principal joked Quickly. So far,
nobody has figured out how the prize-winning Oranges got into the salad

 Subject: The Talk2 List CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLIND
 
 
 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BLIND
 
 The English language with its wealth of idiomatic expressions makes
 the following deductions concerning the characteristics of the blind
 and their daily activities possible
 
 They may be excused for being forgetful because out of sight is out of
 mind.
 
 They are very happy; what the eye does not see the heart does not
 grieve. 
 
 They are also very affectionate because love is blind.
 
 They often ignore things by turning a blind eye to them.
 
 They may be ignorant because they are in the dark about things, but
 do not underestimate them; they've got it all taped.
 
 They are very friendly people and like to keep in touch.
 
 They also tend to have a real feeling for the world round about them
 though they may not be able always to see eye to eye with certain
 situations. 
 
 They may also sometimes lose sight of certain facts but do not
 underestimate their vision. Despite being blind they can still look
 forward to something and see you next week.
 
 You may not always be able to make them see what you mean, but they
 still are able to have their own view.
 
 They are not blind to their own faults, nor to the faults of others.
 You can try putting the wool over their eyes, but you may find that
 very difficult.
 
 They are so good at what they do that they can do it with their eyes
 closed but if they try to burn the candle at both ends, they may burn
 their fingers.
 
 Their medium of writing is easily spotted, is not pointless, in fact
 there is very much point in using braille and it is outstanding.
 
 Blind people enjoy a social life. However, one must bear in mind that
 if you take someone on a date, it will always be a blind date.
 
 If they have too much alcohol they may get blind drunk.
 
 Be warned: their rage and fear will always be blind rage and blind
 fear. 
 
 When walking down the street at a fast pace with a white object being
 tapped about, they could be called hurricanes.
 
 An uneven pavement can be a real stumbling block.
 
 Blind alleys will not be too much of a problem. They never walk with
 blinkers on but they walk by faith and not by sight.
 
 If you were to come across blind people from Venice they would
 probably be called Venetian blinds.
 
 They are not allowed to drive, but it might be possible, provided they
 stick to blind rises and go round blind corners. Blind spots would not
 
 present a problem for them and at night they will not be blinded by
 the lights of other vehicles.
 
 These are blind facts but I hope that no-one finds the subject too
 touching and do not be so blind as those that will not see.
 
 Perhaps all this has been an eye opener to someone. May we all not
 lose sight of the fact that we are living in the age of so-called
 enlightenment where visionary leadership is very important and where
 care must be taken not to be blinded by things that are unimportant.
 Hopefully all this has provided some light relief.

I second that. I cannot imagine how stressful and difficult it's been to
deal with the mess that you've had to handle. I don't know if I'll be around
to listen live, but I'll definitely download and catch the show later if
not.

Screw it! Even though my floor is still wet in places, and my bench is
nearly destroyed, Venison Stew WILL be going on at the usual time. I have
to. A store pissed me off yesterday. Even if it gets resolved, its rant
time. Big money was involved, and my pleasure. So tune in as i broadcast
from my freezer top, and also find out why i'm doing that. 4pm eastern. You
know the place.
