"the tune"

When I visit my sis in Ohio there's a gal friend of hers that calls me the Dude (Jeff Bridges), so does a security guy here at one of the casinos. I do go to the store in my robe sometimes.

Gripping!

A smashing write!

A read all seeking the walk should view.

Thanks for your posts! It's very important to hear this part of the equation. There have been many times I have stood in "mission fields" (for lack of better words) a thought how much would this change the average self hoarder. If we spend more time building others we would add to our own worth.

Hi D D

It may be hard for you (because you started the thread) to see how it is developing, but again I would like to say that it is turning into a good well balanced thread. Nothing to feel weird about my friend. I don't think people are focused on the beginning (I wasn't) but more on how it has, and needs to be, developed.

Well, good you you!

I like threads that are straight up like this. Hopefully some of the others will be willing to help you with stating your needs and wants so that they come accross good for the right fella.

Please remember that there are tons of scams coming from there and you might be greeted with lots of rollings eyes, but if you are able to show that you are for real I know there are many guys who would love the opertunity to get to know a good woman.

Good for you! This is why I have so much respect for you!

I love you!!

Why do people put them in the same box? I see this thread all the time and keep wondering how screwed up we must be.

Coming home today I saw a couple on the bus who had to be 80 if anything. They were counting their change for the fare. They were as cute as could be and by listening to them talk I got the impression that they hadn't much, but they were counting pennies to go have a good time.

A good time can be had at any price. But putting money and love in the same mixer as if it had to be a combo is not love.

Home, yes!

Picture God making something as cool as sex, then saying it's a bad thing. Not gonna happen!

There's a lot of sex in the bible. There's also a lot of right and wrong in the bible. Most importantly knowing God is about finding the good and doing it, being positive and not negative, being helpful and not takers.

God made us to explore, and with that the ability to discern. I totally buy that we as people have twisted words to make them reflect our own uses, but even with this the truth of God's word rings through. How does it ring through and true? Simple, there's a guide. Call it what ever we want but there's a clear guide that helps us in making judgements of good and bad. Don't know a lot of people who look at a piece of friut and choose to bite into a rotten part. What told them it was rotten? Right and wrong is a lot easier than man has made it, and a lot more practicle. Why do we take things that are pretty obvious and turn them into a debate. Self.

The real battle going on with spiritual talks is the thought that we can make the call or there is one that is devine, able to not only make the right call, but created the call.

I for one have to tell you that I have made too many bad calls to say that I am God, however I also have to be fair and say that every time there has been a call for me to make there is something there that is very real trying to show me both sides and guide me to the right decision. Something or someone who already knows and I'm not quite up to that ability on my own. Does that make me a puppet? No, cause I face decisions all day long and go through this same process. I'm I all knowing? No cause I would not even have decisions to make. I'm I able to teach me right from wrong without any help? I would say after 50 some years and seeing that I haven't done so yet the answer would have to be no. So what is that awareness that guides me, outside of my own knowledge and wisdom? That voice that we all have to guide us?

Some may say that it is self, but I'm not so sure I've got the power. And I will not deny that there is something there. Some will call it the collective whole, but the collective whole of what, other people like me? People who are still in learn mode?

Is sex just for popping out kids? Doubt if it would be so much fun if it was only for that. It wouldn't make much sense for God to make it a bad thing, maybe only I (self) can make it into the bad, or people writing translations that are wanting to push guilt over write and wrong.

Some translations do sound like guilt is being promoted, but I doubt if God's word is full of guilt. Man can twist but God's word is spirit and in practice every moment.

clears throat

me me me me

I'll pick up the net tomorrow.

A pair of speakers and a comfortable listening chair.

It's a tough job but......

KIK, I was just about to post the same thing LOL. I was reading through thinking "there's got to be a racing joke in here somewhere".

I should have known!

Thanks for the warmth. Songs pop into my head all the time and sometimes make their way to paper, mostly their about some of the old times and new mixed.

One of the most humble fathers (teachers) along my path, in my book, changed or at least was a part of rocks progression. Gone now 20 years his wife said this

“Michael was happy when he was creating music, regardless of who it was with, and whether or not he was going to make a profit or be successful.

“He was a real artist – he knew just what to do and what was needed to turn a basic song into a work of art, and a piece of music that would stand the test of time. He was a man of very little ego but plenty of dreams.”

That's the Michael "Mick" I knew/know.

In the studio where I did work this last couple days, I've been listening to Ziggy and some of Mick's other works and as usual late at night it's just me and the system, and tons of memories.

A couple of years ago I ran across this forum that talks about this guitar I use to change strings on. I was blown away at how there is such a huge following. I stay in my own world and don't really look at stuff like this often but for a rocker guitar player this guitar has become huge. I never joined the forum but there's a part of me that feels really special about being a small part of Mick's life.

I got two nicknames in the rock world as a youngster one was "natch" for being naturally high, and the other was "little spider" given to me by Mick Ronson.

Anyway rambling as always, have a plane to catch in 4 hours, lol.

peace & love to my friends

Pepper says hi, but she's in Ohio and I haven't seen her since I began the touring up again :-( didn't want to keep flying her around, now I miss her madly.

and again

"How screwed up can you be to assume that getting into a fight is healthy?" major wisdom here

Sometimes I think we forget what a fight is.

yes, win second to me

really?

Who ever that is for, is going to have a serious sugar high.
