QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

QWAK,Under STRESS things that don't work so good in the first place tend to BREAK!:yes:

We can see this all around us -- all the time -- so much so that, we don't realy NOTICE or don't ask WHY and look for the CAUSE and EFFECT relationship.:452:

I was just listening to an interesting report:yes:-- With all the economic distruction going on --with the focus on MEN and WOMAN the ladies are gaining or actualy (?) losing LESS and are NOW almost 50% of the ones STILL working!:yes: (47%)

Generly speaking -- they get payed LESS --work harder and get the job done as well as MEN and are more PROFITABLE to business across the board!:yes::111::4_1_72::shine:

I find it an interesting OBSERVATION and an INDICATION that in spite of being UNDER VALUED by a RIGED and GREED motivated system -- the system is RECOGNISING that the LADIES PRODUCE A high PERCENTAGE OF THE "added value" of "REAL" GOODS and SERVICES being sold to the public!:yes::shine:

The SYSTEM will not admit this OPENLY :36_1_30: nor will it adjust there PAY:452::signs14:

The GREED blinds the SYSTEM :yes: BUT hiting the WALL:yes: tends to OPEN most EYES and MINDS!:yes::thinkey:

HANG in there SISTERS:wink: the TIMES "they ARE A CHANGING" and first comes FARE RECOGNITION and then comes the PAY!:yes::shine:

I am inclined to believe that much of what REAL MONEY represents and alwasys has is "RECOGNITION of VALUE" of the work and effort of OTHER PEOPLE!:yes: That CONCEPT has been LOST and is the ROOT cause of the GLOBAL FINANCIAL system CRASHING!:yes::signs14::shine:


The HARD RAIN washes away DIRT and CORUPTION -- ILUSION and DELUSIONS too:wink: -- so things can be seen more CLEARLY/FAIRLY:yes: so HARD RAINS are a GOOD -- GOD -- thing!:yes::shine:

Unfortunately a lot of women have been bound into wage slavery like men. Not an advancement of society in my opinion. I think women should work if they want to not because they have to.

We don't NEED the CORRUPTED SYSTEM:452: and we shure don't need WAR:452: WE do need LOVE and COMPASSION and WOMANKIND is or has been the MISSING part of the EQUASION when it comes to deciding how things WERE DONE for most of known history.:thinkey::yes::shine:

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Gold Duck and Lt. Dan -

I don't think this thread would be complete without this,

Written by Mr. Isaac Watts in 1719:

"O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
�Return, ye sons of men�:
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in foll�wing years.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op�ning day.
Like flow�ry fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow�rs beneath the mower�s hand
Lie with�ring ere �tis night.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home."

& to my opinion it doesn't matter what, relative to this,

Religion is or isn't;

Mr. Watts transcended all that in this piece.

Equally, I don't think this thread would be complete

Without this:



Keep your powder and your preps dry.

What is GOOD and best for ALL and NOT :452: just OUR SELVES must be a part of the TOTAL EQUASION:yes: if the FUTURE is to be -- as we would WISH it to be -- for US now and future generations!:shine:

By delaying GRATIFICATION -- we INCREASE APRECIATION:yes: and INJOY even more achieving our GOALS:yes: rather than just EXPECTING them like CHILDREN who have been SPOILED by parents who do NOT make us "EARN" them!:shine:

LOVE is not just GIVING ALL you can GIVE :452: it is also TEACHING -- APRECIATION for "ALL" and ALL OTHERS who also NEED to be APRECIATED and VALUED as much as OUR SELVES!:shine:

WE must FIRST look closely at OUR SELVES and KNOW our TRUE MOTAVATIONS and THEN evaluate our choices befor taking ACTIONS,because they will be amplified over GENERATIONS!

ONE must THINK to to CHANGE :thinkey: and that takes EFFORT but in THINKING one finds POWER and the EQUASION is SOLVED/BALANCED -- with the result being PEACE and HARMONY and a FUTURE for the CHILDREN that people have DREAMED and PRAYED for -- generation after generation!

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Don't think me a chauvinist but things are upside down. We are like the Israelite slaves in Egypt. At the end, it took two incomes to make one living. It should be that the husband should take pride in providing for his family and getting value for his labor. The wife should take pride in keeping a good home and teaching their children the fundamentals of life and liberty, etc. RAISING FAMILIES AS INTENDED, AND ELIMINATING ABORTION would eliminate the need to import all the aliens who bring their lifestyles and customs, causing confusion and chaos. As the family goes, so goes the nation. Unfortunately, democracy has been utilized to free the common man from responsibility. If we lived by the principles of Love for God and fellow man, the nations would look to us as an example to emulate. Instead, we have been duped by the merchants of lust and greed, and we are looked upon in horror by nations we think are "depraved".
The Kolbrin states that when our now prevailing times and life conditions exist, the "destroyer" will return. Earth climate and weather conditions suggest that it is almost here.
The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble, and every wall will fall to the ground.
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves a little while until his wrath has passed by.
Our society has gotten so bad, God Himself can't fix it. So He will "control, Alt delete", and reboot.

Well you can believe that 2 plus 2 equals 5, but that don't make it so. And us boomers have had 40 years to live the life we wanted. And the proof is in the puddin. Mankind has forgotten his purpose for being and has devolved into a life of self gratification. Is showing compassion and tolerance for making wrong choices your idea of love?

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Duck,

"Generly speaking -- they get payed LESS --work harder and get the job done as well as MEN and are more PROFITABLE to business across the board!"

Do they work harder????

Are they more profitable???????

REALLY?

Indeed this is a sensitive topic and is bound to bring out the heat.

In my trade, I see no women doing the real work.

Office, audit, managerial jobs off cause. I never see them lacking out to a pair of bricklayers, or, doing the running about for the carpenter. I have never seen one pushing a wheel barrow full of bricks and weighing 200kgs , or, screeding concrete under the blistering heat. Never.

Driving cars and working in fast food outlets yes. But never have I seen a woman outside, and working under the blistering sun, or the soaking rain, or froze to the bone. Never.

That report is a feminist backed load of crock, so that women get the same pay for doing the cream parts of any sector.

Ever wondered why men rarely get cellulite? Its because they are always on the go doing the manual labouring jobs. The bending, the stretching, the lifting and the running.

Until I see a woman running around and busting themselves up like the tradies do, I am firmly against any equality in wages. And until I see the collective woman participating in the same lines of slavery that men are supposedly made for, I am inclined to disagree with your post.

I am all for equality, however, I am firmly against busting my guts out on the construction site, for a female boss that, has never, ever, had her hands even soiled, let alone her finger nails getting ripped off.

And that is exactly what that report was trying to promote. Let the women run the show from the ivory tower, and the workhorse men can earn the business a profit.

I would gladly give a woman the identical days pay for what I used to give my blokes before this crunch. If I could have met just one that was keen to work and learn to the same standards as my blokes..

My bets are that I would have rung a taxi, or an ambulance for them by lunchtime, if they could have lasted that long! ! ! ! ! ! !

Women are totally and absolutely free to attend an apprenticeship in a physically demanding job, and that would be their free choice. Tradies actually agree that we need more equality on the building site. We need more women involving themselves with 'our work', alas, they are no where to be to be found.

If you were to look at the supply and demand of a physically demanding job, you would see clearly that many more people in this world would rather sit in an air con, or heated office, than be literally crucified by the physically demanding work, that is also participated with the savage outside elements of nature.

I will gladly lobby for equal pay, but only when I see the same work being undertaken equally by both sexes. Until that time, there will always exists a bigger demand for male skilled labourers, of which the lefties believe are too low a position for their own type.

The only apology I have is for my rant. Yet often at times, its the only way. Please excuse that part.


Not smiling on this one. :realmad:

QWAK,smilershouse,Untill recently the LADIES were not allowed in the TRAID UNIONS and lots of other jobs TOO:36_1_30: but -- THINGS have CHANGED brother:signs14: -- you need to look around and SEE how many LADIES are out there doing REAL physical WORK now!:yes:

Granted most are smaller then men but not all jobs require BRUTE strenth today:452:

You need to be open to CHANGE because like IT or NOT change IS coming even in the building traids.

There are lots of jobs ware SMARTS is way more important than just having a STRONG BACK:yes: and HONISTLY most of the jobs I have had in my life a physicly fit lady with training and the WILL to do it could have done the same job just as well!:yes::shine: That is just a FACT and it don't make me a WIMP or less of a MAN to admit it is TRUE!:452:

Some things they can just naturly do better then MEN and vice versa but generly speaking I stand by what I have said!:yes:

The MOCHO BS is mostly for LOW IQ dudes who are or would be embaresed if FAIRLY COMPARED!:thinkey:

As for the cellulite:111::cry1: IF the ladies did physical work for a short time it would EVAPORATE :yes:but many that have that problem DON'T so some do tend to PLUMP UP but sedintary MEN do TOO!:yes::wink: There are a lot of LARD ASS men out there! :yes:

I would also say that many jobs that are traditionaly womans jobs such as NURSING would have a big MOCHO MAN beging for MERCY just as quickly!:yes:

Every thing is NOT a COMPITITION any way and that is often a PLUS for the ladies because they tend to organise better and some times find better easier ways to do the SAME job with out need to FORCE things.:yes:

IF you cut them some SLACK and give them half a chance you would likely be suprised!:shine:

There have been LOTS of men I worked with who could NOT hold there end of the LOG but :yes:were good at other things I could not do or do as well!

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Ok Duck, we can agree to disagree. After all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

notwithstanding however, I have to disagree with one viewpoint of yours from your current post.

And that is toward the nurses.

I have come from the construction field and am now kicking back a little, and doing the occasional seminar at the local college now and again.

I was passing a group of smokers at the college, and getting talking to one of the blokes, told myself that he was doing a Nursing diploma as an EN. I have since discovered, that there are 17 girls in that class, and 7 men.

So yes, things are changing.


Wouldn't it be great on reflection, if these blokes made top quality Nurses?

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

QWAK,smilershouse, "Wouldn't it be great on reflection, if these blokes made top quality Nurses?' -- I worked in hospitals for many years "Maintainence dept" and there are lots of MALE NURSES who do a great job at it!:yes:

My comment was from the perspective of say taking a carpenter or brick mason and droping him in as say an LPN or nurses aid and it would be like a FISH out of water and most of the NURSES would blow his doors off. That is the REVERSE of droping a NURSE in to a construction crew!:yes:

WOMAN are EQUIL but DIFERENT and that's good because each has diferent natural strenths and abilities :yes:how ever today there are a lot less jobs which are GENDER SPICIFIC and IF they are doing the SAME JOB equily as well then they should BOTH get payed the SAME!:yes::shine:

I love most of our male Nurses.. A good portion are gay though. The ones that are not are usually very sensitive and caring men who are exceptionally perceptive about peoples feelings.. Then there are a portion who want to go into a female field to get all the available booty and push their way of the top with their testerone.. they are a minority but a pain in the butt to work with.

OK Gang -

Koan of the day:

Perfection can only happen in the present.

Now, I happen to work in a company which employs

About 1400 people who build yachts.

In terms of female representation in the workforce, we have:

Fiberglass laminators (physically very demanding job)

Fiberglass fairing and painting

Marine carpenters

Finish Carpenters

Electricians

Plumbers

Stainless rail makers/polishers

Welders

Mechanics

Cabinetmakers

Cabinet Finishers

Plant and equipment maintenance

On the Production Support Side we have:

Engineers

Purchasers

Material Handlers

Secretaries

Interior Design

Scheduling

All in all - I haven't gone through the roster line by line -

I'd say we probably hover around 15% women.

Not due to a corporate bias however;

There is a broader self inflicted cultural bias out there.

I can't tell you how many times I have heard this statement

From women in the areas our manufacturing plants are located

- I didn't apply there because I knew they wouldn't hire me.

To which I say, if you don't apply you can't be hired.

Women are integral to the success of the company

24/7/365, three shifts a day.

I just wish we had more of you.

Nice thread, Duck. I feel a change, too. I enjoyed the music, including that old hymn which is a favorite.

More Dylan

My love, she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
If she's true, like ice, like fire
People carry roses
And make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk over situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love, she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all

The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even a pawn must hold a grudge
Statues made of matchsticks
Crumble into one another
My love winks, she does not bother
She knows too much to argue or to judge

The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
The wind howls like a hammer
The night blows cold and rainy
My love, she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

I love women and believe whole leartedly in equal rights and responsibilities for men and women. That said, the often quoted statistic; "Women earn 80 cents for every dollar men earn" is a fallacy. When you compare apples to apples, women often earn MORE than men.

"Dr. Warren Farrell, the only man ever elected three times to the Board of the National Organization for Women in NYC, once asked, “If men are paid more for the same work, why would anyone hire a man?”

He may be sorry he asked. But during the years of research that followed, the answer evolved: Men earn more than women, but not for the same work—for 25 different workplace choices. Men’s choices lead to men earning more money; women’s choices lead to women having better lives.

Men’s trade-offs include working more hours (women typically work more at home); taking more-hazardous assignments (cab-driving; construction; trucking); moving overseas or to an undesirable location on-demand (women’s greater family obligations inhibit this); and training for more-technical jobs with less people contact (e.g., engineering).

Women’s choices appear more likely to involve a balance between work and the rest of life. Women are more likely to balance income with a desire for safety, fulfillment, potential for personal growth, flexibility and proximity-to-home. These lifestyle advantages lead to more people competing for these jobs and thus lower pay.

Only when Dr. Farrell’s research journey uncovered these 25 differences, did the “holy grail” become visible: women now earn more money for the same work—that is, women earn more when they work equal hours at the same job with the same size of responsibility for the same length of time with equal productivity, etc. The women’s movement can celebrate its greatest single triumph—exceeding its goal of equal pay for equal work. A triumph that frees women to enter the next level of progress..."

That Hallelulah is one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs, and that is an exceptionally haunting cover.

In unusual Leonard Cohen covers, with continuing bird theme, this one of

Like a bird on a wire
......
I have tried, in my own way
to be free

is amazing.


Cohen spent some time in a Buddhist monastery, after which he wrote some lyrics like

So come, my friends, be not afraid.
We are so lightly here.
It is in love that we are made;
In love we disappear.

Duck Egg you are far too self depreciating.:shine:

It just did remind me of my Coleman petrol lamp.

'Where did you get that hat . . . ?' Probably a video of that ridiculous song somewhere out there.

The cats are having a bad fur day here today. The deadbolt has gone wrong on the front door, I can't get it open. I thought about taking it apart, then I figured that would probably end with half the ensemble falling out and falling down cracks in the floor and the door still being locked.

I will wait until my neighbour turns up and let him take it apart. He swears very beautifully in French. It will sounds a lot more civilized the stuff he will have to say about it all, as screws and springs disappear into the floor boards that my Anglo Saxon. Either way I think I probably need a new lock.

Cats were all lined up with their legs crossed waiting to go out this morning, they were not pleased to encounter front door failure.

Bit of a snow shoeing job out the back door, feline, and goose, alike.

Still, I am glad I got locked in not out. I don't have a key to the back door, it would have been a bit of a bu**ger.

Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord.:shine: Grateful for small mercies.

Look what the cat dragged in: Animal groomer crafts handbags from feline furBy Daily Mail Reporter


Last updated at 12:11 PM on 04th February 2009
Comments (0) Add to My Stories Wondering what to do with your pet's unwanted fur? An American animal groomer has come up with the ingenious, if slightly unsavoury, idea of making handbags and purses out of the surplus hair.
Cat-groomer Danelle German has used everything from cat, dog and even monkey hair to weave into her furry fashion items.

Adorned with jewels and bows, Danelle says most people don't realise her collection started life on a cat or dog.
Hair-raising: Cat groomer Danelle German with her spinning wheel which she uses to create handbags from unwanted animal fur
Depending on the size of the pet, the groomer boasts she can weave anything from purses to handbags.

And Danelle has now been inundated with animal hair from pet owners desperate to have a memento of their treasured pet.

The owner of a grooming salon, Danelle said she came up with the idea after noticing how much pet hair was just thrown in the rubbish at the end of every day.
The 40-year-old said: "Every day at the salon, we end up with tons of cat hair that is either combed out or shaved off the cats during the grooming process.

"Usually it goes in the trash but one day I got this hair-brained idea to try to spin the hair into yarn.

"I figured that if Angora bunny hair to could made into a beautiful yarn then surely I could do the same with cat hair."

Having never attempted anything like it before, Danelle spent days practicing with a spinning wheel until she had a ball of yarn - made from cat hair.

Pleased with the result, Danelle then knitted the cat-hair yarn into a fashionable bag.

She said: "After a bit of experimenting I finally had a completed handbag.

"Everyone that saw it thought it was pretty - then when they learned it was made from spun cat hair they thought it was amazing."

Danelle, from Simpsonville, South Carolina in America, admitted she didn't always have a positive reaction to her unusual collection. She said: "Some people think it's gross and turn their noses up at the idea.
Soon to be on a catwalk near you: The animal hair handbags range in price from �30 to �200 and Danelle has even crafted an accessory out of monkey fur
"I like to remind them that, first of all, the hair is clean because the pet will have been groomed before the hair was collected.

"And the hair has to go through at least three cycles in a washing machine before it's in a good enough state to turn into yarn.

"People wear wool, alpaca, and other fibres all the time without giving it a second thought - I don't see how this is any different."

Despite the odd negative comment, Danelle has still been swamped with orders for the furry bags.

She said: "There are people who love the idea for all of the quirkiness and creativity of the bags. Some just love the handbags and like the design, others find the sentimental value most appealing."

The groomer is confident she can work with most types of pet hair as long as it's clean and at least one inch in length.

One unique creation, which she is particularly proud of, came from the hair of a monkey.

She said: "I weaved the monkey hair in with some poodle hair.

"The two very different types of hair worked wonderfully together to make what I called the 'monkey-poo' purse."

The bags range from around �30 to up to �200 and can be ordered from Danelle's website www.cattyshackcreations.com.

Duck, this is one princess story I did already know about. This movie is FABULOUS, and so deep. One of the rare examples of the movie being better than the book, far better. The movie is absolutely magical. It fits this thread too, as it is about a paradigm shift.

Yes, probably safer to stick with the 'Reaper Man' costume, though, for the sake of discretion, to go easy on the body bag orders at the same time.

So, are you saying you won't be wanting a tiara and pink silk toe shoes for a 'Nothing Day Present' for the time being?

I kind of thought that dress was very optional when one pruned one's trees with a shotgun? By the way a chain saw is the BEST way to prune roses. It really does work. Seems to scare them into bloom the next season.

No joke, one of my captains used to do this, prune his roses with a chain saw. He also used to shake ailing house plants and growl, 'Grow you bastard!' to them, and then show them the garbage can. :bear_cry:That worked well too.

Thanks once again, appropriately named, scyth. 'Death' the cat lover, at least according to Terry Pratchett! Always close to my heart, a fellow cat lover!

You should cross post these great links for Blueice on his 'Cool Cat of the Day thread'.:yes: I am sure he would appreciate them.

I will be reading those links in more detail.

One of the great literary feline characters is 'Behomoth', the Devil's chess playing and pistol packing black cat, in 'The Master and Margurieta' Anton Bulgarov, I think the author. Translations vary in funniness. The best ones are truly knicker wetting. But it is still pretty good, in any translation.

Very profound political statement that book too.

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Actually, it is not in the least bit 'Shirely Temple'. That is probably just how they are trying to make it look to market it. It is mind blowing.

It is not the techniques, it is very subtle. You would actually love it. There are First World War themes, it is set in the Great War, there are reincarnation themes, there are angel themes, there are good over evil themes. It is 'only' a kid's movie on one level. Though it is a good one on that level too.

It blew me away. Far more profound than many so called 'grown up' movies.

It is kind of a 'miracle' movie, I loved it. And not tacky either. It is not Hollywood. People get hurt, people are miserable, people die in it. I thought there was a whole load of truth in it. But the ultimate truth was reunion and transcendence.

QWAK,Found IT -- :yes: I'm not :confused_ma::23_30_104: HE HE HE

Shirley Temple stars in this 1939 version of the Frances Hodgson Burnett novel about a little, motherless girl left in the care of a girls boarding school by her soldier father, and then made into a servant there when he's missing in action during World War I. The fine tear-jerking Shirley Temple Movie is a good vehicle for the famous child star, and director Walter Lang (The King and I) makes a memorably lavish production of the Victorian milieu. The final scene, in which our Shirley is helped by one of the most famous women in history, brings down the house



Also found this GREAT little Sherly Temple WAR time clip!:23_30_104:


Sorry you can't see it Max. :signs14:

Same film, Duck Egg.

But the remake is AMAZING. I have never seen the original. I have read that author too 'The Secret Garden' which is wonderful.

But that film was just WOW! I read 'A Little Princess' after I saw it, and was disappointed. Which surprised me.

I kept it out of the video store in the UK so long I got a whole ton of fines for it.

I would LOVE to see it again, actually, that was years ago. I never got bored with it, the details in it were SUPERB. It was not special effects, it was THOUGHT. I was really disappointed NOT to find many of those great little details that made it so special and captivating in the book itself.

Amazed, really.

See it, you will not be sorry.:36_3_13:

So 'Master of the Glen' , and owner of the cross bow, which I cannot order in Canada, :signs14:you'll go to the mail box is green tights will you, but not pink ones? Ba, ha, ha.:signs14:

It is 'the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch' you think of, Raven. To be cast upon those who are 'naughty in His sight'.

I ordered the wife some silk long johns, duck, though she likes the 2 piece kind. You could get fancy in those elf suits. They have them for guys in off white, black, or green. :111:

On your idea of how out of balance the money game has gotten, I think some kind of limit is in order to bring common sense to corporations, unless we go one better and do not have corporations but substitute co-ops. If the very top guy was limited to 100x the pay of the bottom guy he could be mega comfortable, have plenty of incentive to work hard and smart, but also have incentive to bring up the pay of the guy at the bottom. (In between, of course, as well.)

What he would NOT have, thank heaven, is the scale of money well beyond any possible personal need, that buys governments and creates wars. (Also creates deadly poverty, and social unrest, at the bottom. The social unrest then encourages draconian policing and murders liberty. NOT a healthy system.)

They don't have a picture of the hunter green. The duofold type with cotton next to the skin and 80% cotton, 20% merino wool outer layer is warmer, very soft, and not all that thick, but with some outfits the thinner silk is nicer for her. And it is pretty warm. I'm surprised it is as reasonably priced as it is. <$40 for silk under drawers is amazing to me. Machine washable too.

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

QWAK,Max,I understand that the enuit people revear the Raven and invision it with great powers and as a TRIXTER which is sort of the same thing in this story -- just the YING and the YANG -- not bad -- BALANCE and HARMONY realy.:yes:

Agreed the MINIPULATION of others may not seem right but in truth it is a part of ALL relationships at all levels --just depends IF one is inclinded or NOT that creates the perception of being BAD.:thinkey:

Well, that for sure, that was one nice 'Raven' that just posted. She loves coons too.:yes:

There has been a coon outside my back door the last few nights, eating fallen seed from the bird feeder. What a lovely little apprehensive face on him when I spot him and he spots me looking! "OMG, a human! You are going to shoot me as vermin!' Na, I just look like one, but really, I'm just a goose, and I think you are lovely! Vermin is a term to be used very loosely. . . I have learnt to hold my fire, over the lives.'

Even if I lose my own, methinks. Though a harder decision to let the cats lose theirs.:yes: Much harder.

I done enough 'shootin'' past life.:yes:

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Great grief, Duck! When I rashly said I'd have a proper look I had no idea how long it would take!

Some good stuff in there, though the jumpy rhythm of the words is irksome after a while.

Look clearly at life and not just your own,
how much is reality, and how much is unknown.
It's not measured in beauty, possessions or wealth,
but measured in consciousness and judged by yourself.

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Flap, Duck,

Thanks, I will struggle to see that tonight. My dial up is very poor indeed on work days, high demand I guess. It does better late at night.

IF I still have power tonight! ICE STORM at the Goose Nest today.:452::36_1_63:

So far the power is hanging in there, at least it is here. I guess this is province wide. Supposed to get 'over eight hours' of freezing rain in this area, followed by a deluge of normal rain. Hopefully the latter will stop it from getting too severe.

It is a real mess out there, deck and driveway look like a skating rink, but so far not nearly as bad as what you experienced. My Scotch pines are looking very bowed down. Other types of trees don't look so bad.

Well, what fun!

One thing is for sure, there is no going out. Super bobsled run today! I live on a hill.

I am trying to do dishes and things like that, in case the power does go off and the well pump stops.

Looks as if ice storms are infectious!:biggrin:

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Thanks for that Duck....it made my day!

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

QWAK,Wow Max,sounds like We lucked out as that same storm passed threw here two days ago and bairly touched us.

We got SHOT at and MISSED --- you got S**T at and HIT!!:fan::36_1_25::signs14:

At least you will have your OIL LAMPS if you lose power!:wink: I am still making a list off all the parts I need to order to get all my OLD OIL lamps and the big Alladen set up properly. 6 of various sizes and stiles all needing parts and wicks etc.

BTW: "Cat-Trena" has given her aproval to her NEST:wink: made out of the box from your OIL LAMP gift :yes: I put a pillow wraped in a white flannel sheet in side and set it in front of the new propane heater -- out by the DUCK POND.:yes: She is cureled up in side it at the moment and I hope she will decide to have her kittens there.:thinkey::dontknow:

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

Flap, Duck,

Well 'If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes,' as they say!

It is now getting foggy, and windy - REALLY windy, very suddenly - odd combination. I guess the fog means it's warming up as the ice is now starting to blow out of the trees.

I am so pleased that Cat-rena got a 'Nothing Day Present' out of the oil lamp too.:shine: Yes cats like boxes from Lehmanns alright! I have several laying around I can't put away as they are 'occupied'.

Yes, you should definitely figure out what parts you need for your other lamps and order. I noticed prices had gone up in terms of lamp bits and bobs since about 6 months ago or less. Availability might get to be an issue too, especially if any of them are imported.

I am going to go and try to get ready, in case the power does go out. It still looks like that sort of day, but now due to high winds. If that ice has brought the lines down elsewhere in the province this morning they might be slow to restore power, if it does go out.

Catch you later - I hope!:36_1_63:

Re: QWAK,the POLARITY/PARADIGN shift is becoming OBVIOUS!
 

QWAk,I never thought about it much but this asortment of OIL LAMPS is not just "wicks in a bottle":452: conciderable thought:thinkey: went in to each shape and kind to get the proper air mix,draft and as much light as posable.:yes:

How to properly clean and maintain them:questionm:dontknow: will be a NEW learning experience:yes:

They all do the SAME thing -- make LIGHT -- but with slightly diferent ways to achieve the SAME GOAL:thinkey: IDEAS that ALL worked, just some a little better than others -- yet even the ones that don't work so good can be APRECIATED for the craftsmenship and ways they came up with to try and make "THERE LAMPS" a little better.:shine:

When the LIGHTS go OUT -- we learn to APRECIATE the LIGHT!:yes::shine: (and a lot of other things too :wink:)

In DARKNESS thare can be INLIGHTENMENT :yes: because we got to LOOK to FIND IT!:shine:

Some times we have to -- GET LOST -- so we can FIND OUR SELVES and WHO we REALY ARE and in THAT WAY discover -- APRECIATION -- along the way.:wink::thinkey::shine:

So sorry to read it Silverstone.:23_1_22:

:rant: Justified.:15_1_70v: I have just been lucky in that sense as I worked in a 'male occupation', for most of my working life. I did not get underpaid, but have taken some flack from time to time.

Hey, Duck Egg, well so far no power out here. I think it has all subsided. It has been a wild day though. The ice turned to lashing rain and gales. I'll have to play 'hunt the bird feeder' tomorrow. It blew into my window with great force and then rolled off somewhere.

That poor little coon that turns up to picks up stray seeds of a night was soaked to the skin tonight.

Your lamp meditation was interesting. Have always had a 'lamp fetish', myself. Not electric ones, though I have a couple of nice ones of those too, have all sorts of weird lamps. Gas lamps, petrol lamps, oil lamps, candle lamps, battery powered lamps. A lamp for every occasion, in fact.

From much experience I have to say though, there is nothing like a decent oil lamp, with a wick. I don't like any of these critters, whatever the fuel, with the fancy mantles. Those get very fragile after the first lighting. If you have mantle lamps of any sort, stock up on mantles.

There is a Tibetan story about a 'butter lamp' that I wish I knew where to find right now. I have got it somewhere.

Kind of a 'widow's mite' type of story. An old lady puts a 'butter lamp' for her intention to the Buddha in a temple. Hers goes on and on, when all the others have gone out long since, they are the Tibetan version of 'votive candles', cheap and cheerful. But, of course, it is because she is pure in heart.

I used to find in Yorkshire that oil lamps would go on and on for days with no oil in them. Several people saw it. But I am not sure if that had so much to do with 'pure in heart' as much as that I lived in a bloody spooky house.

I got rid of two lamps that did that actually. Very nice lamps too. But I blamed my old friend, mentioned on another long back thread, Uriel. Him who would be handy at a marshmallow roast. When they had been burning with no oil for about a week solid it got to be a bit creepy. Especially in that pretty weird house.

Handy, mind? But at what price?:confused_ma:
