teknoman2 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 it didnt even look like a kitten when it came out... it was more like a lump of ground meat. its funny though how these little critters move like animatronics from the 80s The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

teknoman2 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 she made a total of 3 kittens. the last time she ate was at lunch yesterday and then with all the effort of birth she had no energy to move from her spot or even eat. then today at lunch she just came out and started demanding food meowing at the top of her lungs. as soon as she had her fill, she went and took her kittens and moved them to some place where she can keep them hidden 2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Raithe Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Apparently, it's considered somewhat odd when heavy stormy weather is happening, and the rain is striking down forcefully enough to bounce high...

teknoman2 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) my mother decided at age 62 to learn how to drive so she asked me to teach her. i gave her some practical advice so she can start the car smoothly at 1st gear and go forward at low speed but she can't help herself from slamming the brakes instead of pushing the pedal softly and just can't remember to keep the clutch pressed when she stops the car so it keeps stalling. the first lesson was earlier today in an empty parking lot and the moment i told her to take a left turn and bring the car around, she panicked and just slammed the brakes (obviously without pressing the clutch). she feels too intimidated by the task to do things calmly and i don't know if my car will survive the lessons Edited July 23, 2017 by teknoman2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

They are making a new one, the RX-9, in 2019, though I don't know if they'll make it a production car or if it will just remain a super limited production concept car.

Guard Dog Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I completed my part of a major study at work last night. I just zipped up and e-mailed all the data just now. We have a meeting at 1 PM today for discussion and then my role in it ends. Being low on the totem pole has it's advantages sometimes but it also means being left behind when things start to get interesting. But starting tomorrow I'm finally going to take that vacation I put off when Tommy got sick. It won't feel right without him though. I was going to take the pups to Cedar Key in Florida back then but now, I don't know where we're going. Maybe we'll load up the truck, drive north and see where we end up.

teknoman2 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 today i got my mother out for her second driving lesson. at first she didn't do too well because she just could not regulate the gas pedal and was almost always redlining the rpm with the clutch pressed and almost started doing burnouts as she tried to let go of the clutch to start moving. then i gave some thought to how i press the pedal and told her instead of pressing it, to just let the weight of the foot rest on it without putting any strength and that did the trick. then she started going around smoothly and changed gears a few times too. the advice seems to have helped with braking too since she didn't slam the brakes like usual still, she keeps on panicking at the drop of a hat 2 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.
