For someone who's all over women's rights and how evil men are, you
sure have a problem with a lot of women.

My neighbour had a big TV satellite dish. A flicker used to come and
peck at it almost every morning.

In reply to the assertion I'm jealous of dsi1 or any fans of Ophelia.
The only thing I could think of was David lives on an island and so do I
so nothing to be jealous of there. Comprende?

> I merely pointed out that you don't take advantage of it.

Take advantage of what? Do you expect me to take up golf? I take as
much advantage of it as I did my apartment back in Cordova. I sit
outside when it's not too hot. I watch the birds. I read books, watch
movies, television and I cook.

I'm no different now than I was before I moved here. I had a nice patio
at my apartment, too. I fed the birds and sat outside and read. And
when it was hot I stayed inside in the AC.

When Public Television (PBS) went on the air of the programs was about the
Peace Corp and what it took to get in. They showed them taking classes
about just basic survival in a country they would be stationed in. One
show has 3 or 4 women in a group standing behind a barn. The man was an
instructor and she showed them how to wring a chickens neck, pluck it,
etc.

They were all screaming, throwing their hands up in horror, covering their
eyes, etc. The instructor was telling them this is what they have to do
if they want to eat as there would be no grocery stores nearby. When the
women were screaming and squirming my dad got tickled as he knew that's
what you have to do if you want fresh chicken as he was a country boy.

He's obliquely referencing 'The Club' while I was talking about being
accused of being jealous of something. Notice I've not mentioned the
Club in a very long time so the word "constantly" is totally wrong. I
should take advantage of... what?

I don't know why Gary likes to try to antagonize me. He doesn't make a
lot of sense.

She was a bit snooty but she could be fun to talk with. She had a nice
old renovated row house in San Fransico. Built in the era of the
before the big earthquake and then renovated. I like historical homes
like that.

I am a chess master. I do not know how to play checkers.

True dat! She could dish it out but she couldn't take it when it was dished
back to her.

I remember when debit cards really started to catch on 15+ years ago. She
made the statement if you couldn't pay with cash you should just stay home
and not shop. As well as stating if you couldn't afford a 20% or better
tip when you ate out you should stay home.

She wasn't overburdened with brains on some topics.

I wanted to learn chess and get a nice chess set. Problem is, plenty of
Pawn shops around but none for the rest of the pieces needed.

Check out King arther flour and that chick from England. Maybe look into a church and a farm for the pieces needed. Is there a moat nearby?

Wrong guess, Jill. I don't think about your Club dues. You
claimed that you got out of that. Was it true? I don't care.

Ok...I'll tell you and Janet. It's never about your fluffy and
friendly
simple posts. You can be so sweet when it suits you. Pretty tip
of
the photogenic iceberg. I respond to the entire iceberg (Jill).

You also have a very dark side and that's why I pick on you.
Both you and Janet US, go back to read any and all posts that
Jill sends to John and Julie. Pure malice.

I am your Walrus. I'm just throwing back in your face the venom
that you say to those others.

I never called her fat. Don't even know if she was.
I did conflict with her on her arrogance though.
Others picked on her...even posting her address

Then what is it I'm supposed to be jealous of? DO TELL!

Photogenic... what are you blethering about now?

Fer cryin' out loud. I don't claim to be perfect but even you have
pointed out some of their really inane posts. I've actually responded
with some quite helpful and polite information which you choose to forget.

I remember when you first found this group, Gary. You were all "Jill!
We have so much in common!" Why? Because I recommended the book
'Micro' and you liked it? I am who I am. I'm honest and forthright and
have opinions which I don't mask behind sweetness and light and a bunch
of 'Kumbayah' crap.

You seemed surprised when I posted that link to pictures of my
grandparents' houses, side by side. Did you think I was engaging in
hyperbole when I said my dad married the girl next door? I don't lie
and I don't need to make up BS stories.

Look what you're doing with this post. You're pointing out what you
perceive to be my flaws. How ironic!

Jill's issue is that she lives in isolation and so has chosen to live vicariously via this froup...I'll check on this place at say, 3:00 AM, and there is Jill posting about Julie's stuff ad nauseum...I cannot imagine being *that* bored, lol...but that is her choice, so be it...
