    Yeah, I know wot you mean. Some of us just have to much dane bremage....and it shows. Know wot I mean? :biggrin:

    treitz3,

    Yes, you do have dain bramage. It's obvious because not only do you get your mords wixed up like you were lysdexic or something, you know, when you read things wackbords? You've also managed to miss the point that I was referring to Keiko, not you. Now, because of your self-centered insensitivity, his secret is out.

    Way to be a team player. Remember, there's no 'I' in team and now, there's no 'you' either.

    Really John, (per Jstas signature)"You're just jealous 'cause the voices don't talk to you!" You really need to tell your voices to STFU before they get you into more trouble than you are able to get out of!:tongue:

    Love,
    Cathy

    cfrizz,

    You said it, not me. I'm just the messenger.

    Also, the voices do talk to me. However, I am unable to understand them. They all talk over each other. Except for the one guy who just shouts "I HATE YOU" over and over again as loud as he can. Sometimes he says stuff about my mother which isn't very nice. Makes me wonder how he knows, though? You know? There is another guy yelling at him, though, in what I thought was Spanish. Turns out, it's Portuguese. No wonder I couldn't understand him!

    Love,
    Jstas

    Looks like a long day at work?

    Here's something that should prove amusing if you haven't seen it before. There is 'no' shortage of doomsday prophets or scenarios. One wonders, in the end so to speak, if we shouldn't spend more time reflecting on ourselves and our behavior than worrying about that "End".

    With all the political bull@#it aside (stop it you children)...

    I'm with bobman. Aside from all-out nuke war, or something the size of three or four football fields hurtling in from space at 60,000 mph, the likelihood in our little time span is very small indeed. That doesn't change the fact that the violent, end of everything as we know it is EXACTLY what most of the selfish SOB's I meet on a day to day basis deserve.

    I read somewhere that the sun is getting about ready for a polar shift, something that happens every so often. It just so happens that the the third rock is apparently gearing up for one also, or so it seems.

    Now when the sun swaps polarity, it briefly (that term is relative, mind you) pulses with huge solar flares and radiological releases of all sorts. When the third rock does a hoopty shift it's EMF (which diverts the lion's share of all the nasty **** the sun throws our way) collapses briefly (another geologically relative term).

    Well boys and girls, what happens when you your in a title fight and your opponent throws a haymaker just when you dropped your left hand??? Somebody else is going to get a new championship belt.

    Good point, Mike. Geological time and Solar history are not "human" time after all.

    ....and Keith Richards.

    Really Laz, you felt a need to drag up this turkey ?
    If the world was going to end by a big rock saying hello, is there anything you can do about it ? Prepare for what ? Think anyone who knows for sure is going to give the rest of the people a heads up ? Not that it would matter anyway. When the world ends, it ends, and the human species will be dug up some million years into the future by another species and the process will continue on again.

    Though I wouldn't mind seeing some big beautiful Amazon type women evolve in the future. I can then be reborn as their sex slave. Wouldn't be a bad gig if you could get it.

    The sun is begining a 500 year sunspot cycle that generally notes an increase of Solar flare activity and lots of spots. Magnetic flares.
    The earth is nearing the planal divide in the galaxy(about 200 yrs from now I think). That will cause a polar shift.

    A friend of mine is an astronomer so if you want the real rub check out his website.... seeintospace.com
    Too much **** to list....

    Your buddy seems to be an elitist telescopophile. And how many times can he use the words "I" or "I'll"?

    "My Role
    I'll supply the training and answers to your questions. You'll get FREE online webinars. I'll get guest speakers to teach us more about astronomy. I'll help you find amazing night sky objects. I'll recommend a telescope that's perfect for you. I'll recommend the proper equipment to safely observe the sun. I'll help you get your family involved too. Science education is woefully lacking. Kids are surrounded with electronic stimulation but few ever have the satisfaction of finding and seeing Saturn for themselves. That's too bad. There is a huge universe to see! And once they've had this experience with you, they will never forget it.

    Your Part
    I can't do it alone. Your participation will make this a wonderful and exciting experience. Your questions, observations and encouragement will make SeeIntoSpace.com an exciting place to be. I hope you'll share your experiences with others through our own discussion board.
    I'll need your guidance and feedback too. I'm depending on you to give me your ideas about ways to improve our site and experience.
