So, with gasolene prices bobbing up and down. And the economy also bobbing! When and what will it take to get rel action n Aternative energy?Nikola tesla(1856-1943) had the answer more then a 100 years ago!That of broadcasting wirelessly eletric power! He even set up a braodcasting tower for this at Wardecylle,Long Island(Now Shoreham, L.I.) But when he mentioned FREE ELECTRIOC POWER to hs financial backer the great Robber Baron J.P. Morga. Whos meatered eletric power intreste would have been ruined. The money was removed and Tesla went into a life long debt!To honor Dr. Tesla in 2005 and 2006 I organized the GLOBAL ENERGY INDPENDENCE DAY held every July 10th the birthdate anniversary of Dr tesla. To rembewr Tesla and promote ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AND FUELS,VeHICLES. See the Tesla memorial Society www.teslasociety.com And Pure Energy Systems A Community Built Alternative energy site www.Peswiki.comNikola Tesla/GloBAL ENERGY INDPENDENCE DAY. No!!!!! What is neeeded is REAL ACTIO NOW!!!! Perhaps at least a Day to rember Nikola tesla And PROMTING ALTERNATIVE ENERGY is one way to do this?
They gave us a certificate and a nice Bible. And did I mention the free pasta dinner? I didn’t get any, because I was helping all the kids, but I did have apple pie with ice cream when the byos were all done eating and went to the nursery to hang out. Only there was an emergency diaper change, so the ice cream melted :-).
The Knights have helped us out a lot, especially when we’ve moved to a new place and had a baby right away.
Helpmeet and complement, I agree!
As to the "differences" in FReepers, I put it to the richer exchange possible in-person than is possible though text. (And in that I go all the way back to the "Usenet newsgroups" which I joined in 1985.)
Rats! I missed turning on extra lights for Earth Hour. We were at church, so all the lights at home were off.
Wow, this late at night? How do you sleep?
I seem to manage OK. Of course, when you start at 0500 and finish 2300 every night, sleeping comes easy when a horizontal orientation is achieved.
...LoM says she remembers bells and a clock tower though...
BTW, I just got done sniping on e-bay when I took that test. I guess you could say I was all revved up.
I had a really nice large, white Rhiems-Douay Bible, but I think it got lost in all the shuffle....
And I have a brother who doesn’t necessarily “belong” to the K of C, even though he belongs, because he says he doesn’t “want to wear that silly hat.”
From the photos I have of Mr. Redhead in his K of C tux, I’d have to fight my brother, if I lived closer to him. Mr. Redhead made up for all my brother’s shortcomings...said brother has no idea what he is missing.
The K of C are a very benevolent group, and I’m proud of all that they do, especially for my sister. A lot of it is never heard about because “they” don’t think it’s important. However, any time a group of people, no matter how small, go about to make changes, it’s important.
You can thank your local K of C for me, and tell them I said your family is worth ALL the grace they can share!
1 hr 23 min to go here. Going downstairs to fetch the light...
Actually, I’m much more intellectual in person than I am online. (Or in writing, except in my journal...)
When we were kids, we were laughed at because we didn’t know how to use single - or double - syllables...ours were complex words that were used in high school or college. But what did WE know? That’s how we talked at home, and that’s how we thought ALL homes were! (Silly us!)
Still, I like people!
You’re too kind :-). DP has been in the Knights 13 years (according to the report); he joined before Tom was born. We thought he should be involved in a group to do good works, like the Masons, who are very active out in Missouri where my Dad grew up. He’s a 4th degree Knight, so he could have a fancy outfit and sword, but he doesn’t. Maybe I’ll stick some money in a drawer and order one for his birthday. He could be in the Bishop’s honor guard when we have the Eucharistic Procession.
We only get to a few Knights events each year, but they count all our volunteer work toward the Council’s total volunteer time. And we usually have kids available to help when anything needs to be done.
Yes, that would work. I believe I’ll seek my horizontal elevation. It will make the catz happy.
Because she’s cute and furry and she purred.
What can I say?
Ah. Nothing more need be said, as I, too, have become victim to the soothing ministrations of CATZ! (To my sorrow!)
That was me! Though a lot of mine was book knowledge (I was a VERY avid reader as a boy) so I didn't know how to pronounce some words.
Still, I like people!
So do I now, though I had a mountain-full of shyness to overcome. And even today I miss "signals"...
It is good to know that your church didn’t shutdown.
I know little of the KoC but LoM does and she applauds you!
To your sorrow?
Oh well. Please don't hold your disappointment against me... *\;-|
