Thanks NTI... I informed Darksheare and those other persons who are rumored to be on FR in that location...
I didn't know him, but I'm sorry to hear that. Condolences to all who did know him.
Nightmares implanted while you wait!
Now with complimentary Thrgrlls and a mint!
Yes, I did set rocks on fire.
Confession time: I have a talent with two things.
Sharpening kives to a nightmare edge and fire.
The rock was begging for it, it was a huge boulder.
And it was less than seven foot from the house.
Did I mention it was a quartzitic granite with sulfur chaser?
Lit it up, melted about two inches off the surface and freaked out the neighbors.
Years later I was camping.
Dad was about a quarter mile away, at night, and noticed he had a shadow.
Since humans don’t normally cast flickery wavy shadows at night he deduced that something was odd about this.
So he turned around and saw the PILLAR OF FIRE.
[This one was lame, it wasn’t a cloud by day. Drats.]
Dad came rushing back to teh campsite to find me tending this two foot wide abomination of flame and heat.
And site security was standing there getting fire pointers from yours truly as they were amazed and mystified with my talent to stack wood that should by rightsonly produce a three foot flame and instead produce a thirty foot column of OMG.
Dad yelled at me, site security coughed and said ‘Oh yeah, by the way..’
So I flipped one single log down, the fire dropped to a sedate foot and a half tall, and security crapped their knickers.
My malignant talent with sharpening knives.
What can I say about it?
Have a pocketknife that has a sheepsfoot blade that I always kept at a keen hair popping edge.
Well my boss at the time, retail job, borrowed the knife.
I warned him in front of witnesses repeatedly “DO NOT TOUCH THE EDGE. EVER.”
Less than five minutes later he’s running up to me and instisting he’s going to sue me because he had his finger on the cutting edge while using the blade to scrape stickers off of shelving.
And the blade shuddered across a sticky spot, rebounded off the webbing of his hand and neat as you please took his finger down to the bone.
The only hint he had that he’d nearly lost his finger was the horror splash of crimson fluid on the wall when he set the knife down.
He never felt it near remove his finger.
Everyone laughed at him after he explained how he accomplished this feat.
Heard, thanks!
He was “One of the Great Old Ones” of the forum.
Been shaken to the core these past two days Dark.
Yuppers.
That we have.
They’re around.
Not posting so often, but they’re around.
I’ve lost far too many people over the years. Some were realted, some were school mates, some were friends, and some were FRiends, while others were neighbors and acquaintenances. I will never get used to the losses, and I will never accept that I won’t see them again.
I KNOW I will see them all. They were all in my life, even though some were there only briefly, and because of that, they will be in my afterlife.
A book that helped me to understand how these things mesh together is “The Five People You Will Meet In Heaven.” I forgot the author, and it is a small book, but it is very telling.
Some were RELATED! *sheesh*
*The Darksheare Sphere slowly rolls away, mission complete.*
Thank You ... Agreement to the fullest. Never read the book mentioned ... may have to go looking for those words.
You have no clue, Darks. When you are sad or depressed, nine words out of the eleven I try to type will be misspelled.
It’s exponential. And very creepy. Unless one recognizes a kindred spirit... ;o]
Know you are working diligently to avoid the pitfalls of the warnings on that system. Wishing you great success.
Mine (mistakes) are missing spaces between words or entire missing words. Have enough trouble when not sad or depressed add in aforestated and wow. Straight up disaster.
