Yes, it was you. It might help if you get a 9.5volt battery, clip one end to your hand, and the other to a tinfoil had done in pyramid fashion. Also try saying Glowackus, Glowackus, Glowackus, the name of the mythical silicone brained antithistical antichrist creature. He only appears late at night when the plumbing glows from snooping devices and from them digging underground listening posts. It is also a good thing to take the wiring from inside the walls, and the junction boxes and mount them in plain view. They have technology today that utilizes common equipment. The chips are so small They utilize nanochip technology and They have made the chips capable of entering the occipetal lobe of the brain by electron osmosis. We learned this technology from capturing sentient creatures from an alternate plane who live deep within the Hudson canyon off Long Island sound. They also zink around in sink holes when they fly.

thanks Kim, i was subject to puffy head syndrome all afternoon. i was also suffering from some sort of post partum thing....like i should have CHARGED MORE ! haha!
one guy asked me , now will you just make one like this again now that i've bought this one......? and i could honestly look him in the eye and say No, this is the one and only. it is unique because of the stone. i think, at that point his $30 dollar purchase became priceless in his mind.......i hope so anyway!
Doc, have you ever read or heard of the Douglas Adams books, BBC series, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy stuff? Deep Thought was the super computer that they asked the Ultimate Question to and ten thousand years later and many upgraded versions, the ultimate answer was....42. they had basically forgotten the question?

Krazy, it was found in the sequel to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, it was not the question, it was the answer. The answer dictates the question, hence, contex into text is pretext. I think the ultimate answer was with Charley. He wanted to be the rabbit dump tycoon, and tried to corner the market. You see, if we cut a notch into the Sierra mts., a large one, if we do the same for the Santa Monica mts., and the San Gabriel Mts., then have stockpiled mega tons of rabbit dump. Lots of small green nobbed balls of it, if we mix it with desert sand, then grade the lowlying areas, we could induce more than a foot of arable land. With this if we lay six inches of peat moss, we could induce water to lay on the surface. That is the answer. The question could be, "what did phred try to do in Maine?" It is all there. It is as obvious as the hand after fondling gallons of paint in the hardware store. The logistics of course appear staggering. However, if everyone who has a rabbit collected droppings we could corner the market. An after product would making a pile of dry droppings on a piece of beautiful wood, and varnishing the entire thing. This could be sold in an high tourist atmosphere to subsidize the entire project. The other answer could be to cap Mt St. Helens with copius amounts of concrete and seeing where the land lifts with the resulting back pressure. If we could cap the land lift, we could utilize geothermal heating to distill water. You brought up a very stimulating concept. One which is worth serious consideration.

With all due respect, the answer was 47. Look at my signature line. I have an original Steal This Book. Hardcover no less. I am a god, I am the Lizard King, I can say anything.

Hah! What is 6X7? Try that one on search. What is six times 7? you get the calculations for COBAL. compute six times 7. You get the converse of COBAL, plus quantum physics. What is six times seven? That is where it gets interesting. but none of them = 47. What happended back in the sixties? All I ever wanted to do back then was to be a world famous humble international country Dr. I would be solicited for the rare and exotic disease that did not exist untill the one case went undiagnosed and the world faced ELE. Of course with no research gear, or instruments, I pulled rabbit dumps out of a rabbit hutch, mixed in rare and exotic ingredients of my own design. and I saved the human race from a previously undiagnosed tragedy. I would humbly retreat into my humble cottage with 32 rooms with two maid servants who I do not allow into servatude. Things change. Those who control the past control the future.

Did you pet and kiss the rabits and say "Thank you for your help?" Sorry, I have this horrible image in my mind from Bowlingfor Columbian" of a women petting a brautifil lop eared rabbit. When she was asked her intentions for it, she said "Diner". The ra

Krazy, you were right. It was 42. You remember way more of the '60's than I do. You must have been more mellow. When I graduated high school, I was voted Most Likey To......

Doc, when i am 100% sure of something, i don't back down....i have been called over zealous and domineering in my day, but i try to be a straight shooter, fair and honest.
it's man's world and probably always will be, i'm really lucky to be an American and don't have to wrap up in a sweaty blanket all the time with just my eyes peeking out..........

Kd, I like that in you. I am sitting here, watching VH1 Classic, and the Boomtown Rats are doing I Don't like Mondays and the lead singer who I used to know the name of, and who was Pink in Pink Floyd the Wall, I forgot his name. This is happening more and more as the shop takes more demand on me. Those wire rings I had posted, I am on back order already. My wife is selling more of them than I can make faster than I can make them. It has been six years since people put me on back order. I am doing repairs for extreme upper end jewelery. It is all happening so quickly. Not only am I backordered, I am expected to make spontaneous designs. I sure can use your.........feet in this direction, head in this direction....... I got so heavy handed on the jewelery from the harshness of the people at the fleamarket in FT Myers. here, they line up, stand in line and wait. You keep setting me straight when I need it. I am full time calculating wire distances per carat weight and girdle distance. I have people who have paid for designs not concieved yet. It is good, but it puts a load on me. For next week, I have three prong set rings, two cabachon rings, 20 of my ear cuffs, 4 of my fringe cuffs. I have to repair a channel set diamond ring with an 8 carat ruby some jeweler messed up. I only have two actal days to do the work. The van needs electrical work, the house is getting new interior walls, I do that, and we have to go for permits. I love it but Arrrrrgh!
