It did, though I keep wondering how and why what I did came out so wrong. Seems a seasonal effect, because it often happens around this time of the year... sometimes.

It's starting to fall into place. I am relieved I guess. Just disappointed I waisted some time on the task. Ah well. It could have been worse I guess. It could have all worked out!

What is it about the Internet that makes me feel so paranoid?

Maybe the fact that the Internet is a very particular place that favors paranoia based upon the way people behave online, which in turn favors paranoia, I guess... well, no, actually I'm pretty sure.

Everytime I hear mention of this on the news all I can think is that you can't make this stuff up. His name is Weiner. Weiner. I mean, if that's your last name, wouldn't you take care not to....do that? I mean, Weiner. Really. That's really his last name. And that really happened. And it's really all over the news. And everytime I hear it I can't help but think, "He he, his name is Weiner." And I am always disappointed in myself and I wonder why the universe couldn't have offered something other than this disappointment of a coincidence.

The Time Machine's on! That is the original Time Machine from 1960 which tells the story of a Victorian Time Nazi who goes forward in time beyond The Cold War to learn that the Lebensborn have taken over the world and live in an enormous illiterate hippy colony. Unfortunately for them the Soviet Bear has moved underground. Having devolved into Blue Cossacks which, if they could speak would most certainly call themselves Morlocks, they had developed a taste for Goldilocks. Using an experimental but effective new technique of mass hypnotism ('upon hearing the siren you will become dinner') when the siren blows they become passively entranced as lambs to the proverbial slaughter and zombie-like make their way to any one of a number of large constructions where-... ...

Before you eradicate air conditioning I think you need to come down here (103F with not a cloud in the sky), put on an acid suit (basically a rubber suit) go outside and change a finish filter then tell me we don't need air conditioning.

I can't help it. Every time I read about a "100 degree something", I picture it as something hot. I know I'm thinking of Celsius and you're thinking of Fahrenheit, but it confuses me all the same.

Actually, in my country we also use the Celsius system. When I speak in Fahrenheit, I do it for the purpose of making myself understandable by the US citizens on the forum, who are somewhat unfamiliar with the Celsius system.
Regarding conversions, I use Converter, which is a unit conversion plug-in embedded into my Firefox browser. For example, I just highlight 110 F and right click on it, and the tool shows me the equivalent 43.3 Celsius as an element on the context menu. Easier impossible :)

I'm thinking someone should devise a neural component with automatic unit conversion capabilities to be implanted in our brains, so we wouldn't have to highlight figures, or click on links to conversion sites http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/yes2.gif

[MystyrMystyry]

I inherited a Canon Palmtronic FC-32. It's a calculator with metric conversion - I keep it handy, but it's a bit bulky to carry around

I use this method of temperature -

40 degrees C = 100 degrees F

0 degrees C (freezing pont) = 32 degrees F

It's not accurate, but hot's hot and cold's cold :)

That's what we did down here, from Imperial to metric, back in the seventies - it cost a fortune but it was deemed going to be a huge money saver in the long run

I don't have the calculator for exactly how that was supposed to work, nor any proof if it had - sounds like someone made too many 30 centimeter rulers and Celsius thermometers that year though, and wanted to dump them on us

Actually, 40 C equals 104 F, but I suppose 4 degrees won't make much difference anywhere where hot's hot and cold's cold regardless of numbers :)

I feel communication would be much easier if we had unified systems for everything.

I've snatched a few from photobucket, and most others from:

Those are among the best sites, but not the only ones around. You have to be careful with some other sites, because some are dangerous in terms of virus risks. If they are royalty free (most emoticons are), I may sometimes pick one and modify it to suit a particular need.

So my baby sister Shoosh (11& in the UK) went round to a friend's house today and my mum gave her permission to use rollerblades only if her friend's parents were supervising. My mum then went to Cinema with friend who is visting and her 2 little kids. Shoosh didn't want to see Cars2 so she begged to go round to this friends house instead. Luj 15 stayed at home to read a book. Sister Sid at work no idea where Sally was not even sure she still lives at home.
Anyway so Shoosh falls down and breaks her arm. Now what does her friends parents do? Why drive her round our house and dump her on the 15 yr old. MY mum's mobile is off , Luj can't get hold of Sid because she HER phone is off . Eventually she gets hold of Sally who advises looking up Sid's work number on internet and ringing there. So she does.
Eventually Sid is gotten hold of and takes Shoosh and Luj to ER then my mum turns up and also rushes to hospital.
What I want to know is what kind of person dumps an injured child with another child when its obvious the child needs to go to ER?

I have to write a poetry analysis and I don't know how so I logged in to see what litnet has :)

Dear God! There's one-hundred-and-ninety-nine chapels and churches in this city, why in the world did you have to choose one that's not in the city?

I am thinking about a friend who declined my friendship and tried to be skeptical about me. She had some bad moments with a few of her friends and she wants to judge all by that standard. I had written her for friendship and she declined and it pained me for a while and that is what I have been thinking now and the last couple of weeks.

Litnet is a very big place, no doubt you will find many friends to share your writing talent with.

If it is sometimes impossible to get to a person face to face, even much more in an online environment. My humble piece of advice, based on personal experiences, is that you pay a reasonable amount of mind to online relations, and not more than that. Don't take the Internet so seriously. The really important things happen in your real whereabouts, outside your computer. Just let her go and pass on to other matters.

It is something more than sharing what we write and it is about sharing cultures and some important human aspects observed in different social and cultural situations. Some people out of their frustration and failures in dealing with humans thwart the rest who advance with their good intent and empathy. The innocent preyed on by the experienced simply wonder at the hasty the breakup. I think the negativity of such people makes them forlorn and failing to trust people they will be at loss in life. Judging all by what one experiences with the few they have encountered is a dimwitted judgment. I am sure they will miss some of the very important people they will come to in their life.

I have no hostility to them; for I have no hostility to anybody in the world since I always rested on Buddhist philosophy that hostility to anybody is vicious.

This comes as only as the expression of a surprise and is meant to share with and learn from others about the eccentricity of such people only

Two Tragedies Like One

No scar visible to the eye
But your spirit is wounded
Like mine.
We are two for tragedy!
I'm not entitled to judge,
stupidly I fell for an illusion too
My good sir we are dreamers...
Believing in the unreachable.
If only a little closer.
Apparently we are bound to suffer,
You fell for a romantic
A fool, a dreamer too.
Now we are totally abandoned,
Along with the bitter wishes undone
And - of one's own company.
Two lonely hearts left to bleed...
Trying to survive the bitterness...
We imagine what it could have been
Had we made it work.
But alas it wasn't meant to be
You're here alone
And so am I.

The entire world is weeping thru this poem. I am moved
This is one of the marvelous poems I have read lately.

Well now... I had forgotten about the Co-writes. I wrote this poem with another my good friend Maximilianus. From whom I have known now for just past 2 years. Sometimes it takes a long time to get to know someone. All my other work has been removed by my permission. So you will only find co-writes, with other members.

Thank you for reading this poem. I'll be sure to mention it to my dear friend Max.

It is a good example of how two persons in togetherness can write such a wonderful poem. He to must be a sensible man, very wise too or else poetry of this majesty would not have happened. I believe that something outside force makes this happen or else everybody would have been a poet.

Tell me how you got inspired to write poetry. There must be a fountain of inspiration thru which poetry flows. That is what I read about some of the greatest poets in the world. Wordsworth was inspired by the majesty of nature and Yeats was a mystic poet. Life can be a source of inspiration if we can probe into the vigor of it. I cannot incarcerate poetry within these confinements. It is beyond measure and understanding

Trust me you are not missing much.

My inspiration comes from my head. I don't focus on a particular genre. Actually I lie. I used to focus on sad soppy love poems. Nor do I allow any one person to determine the outcome of a poem. But I have to admit, being on this forum I have extended my fields to the darker side of poetry. Something from which I could not write before starting this site. Not that I am completely proud of it. I'm not into writing about nature and my vocabulary needs to be improved.

Quite true. Have you focused on a particular genre poetry would not have been born of you. This is a mingling of many genres, thoughts, sensitivities.

I have read plenty of modern poetry and most of them do not touch me at all.

However I am firmly convinced that poetry has to do with the power of imagination and sensibility. Poetry is the soul of something, life, feelings, humanity and prose is the bone and muscle of them. That is why I am tirelessly applauding the work poetry. Poetry is my cup of tea and I am a voracious reader

In fact I do not know the craft of writing poetry. I had written once a bunch of poems, they had turned out to be prosaic things and you will find them nauseating.

I often feel fed up with the world I am living in, with the people I am dealing with. I have seen a great amount of sufferings, injustices and sabotages everywhere and I often try to mirror these things thru poems. I cannot write love poems since because I have nothing to say about them, anything striking.
I hate political leaders and I want to write a few poems to arouse the people against the regime in my country. However I am not in politics and have no interest.

Poetry is the heartbeat of an individual and only those who can understand the profundity of it can write poems.

Ours is a Buddhist country and we have to learn by rote so many Buddhist hymns. They are in fact beautiful poems. But they are religious prayers.

I have heard that only those people can write love and sentimental poems who have lived through such experiences. My life is dull and unexciting and as such I cannot write sentimental poems.

However coming across this forum and to a few friends like you I feel my world is expanding and my circle of friends is increasing.

Me: "Oh, I eat babies."

Have you ever gotten a flu shot? Wash your hands often and get a flu shot soon and you'll likely drastically decrease your chances of getting the flu or even catching a bad cold.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I really distrust flu shots. My parents get flu shots every year and every year they catch a flu (or more than one). I suspect it's because I catch it first (more than once) and then I pass it to them, since we live in the same house. As for me, I've been taking vitamins for some time and they didn't help much against flus, although I admit to be feeling more energetic. Probably I have to wait for them to kick in... not very sure. My main problem is, I think, that I am everyday in an environment where I am often surrounded by sick people, as strange as it may sound but it is true :svengo:

[JuniperWoolf]

There was a little boy kidnapped in BC last week, and when people went on the news to cry and beg the kidnapper to return the kid, the kidnapper did. He just brought the kid back and dropped him off at home, completely un-raped and everything. Now they're trying to treat the kidnapper very well in order to promote more child abductors to listen to their conscious, which I think is a good idea.

So my brain is reeling from actually hearing something good on the news. The kid being returned has had a larger effect than him being taken in the first place, which is sad I guess, but it's pretty cool that he's back.

[Maximilianus]

Couple of years that meant nothing.
