" A used aluminum can returned to a recycling center is worth about a
penny to consumer recyclers"  ---(except where they have CRV ala
calif.).

"Americans earn about $1 billion a year recycling aluminum cans."

IOW, Twittering One and her friend Steve have lot's of competitors---

Aren't most dumpsters locked nowadays? I sometimes used to go along with
some folks who were homeless or squatting and was really shocked to find
out what gets thrown out... perfectly usable watches/clothes/etc that
were discontinued and the like but the worst were the supermarkets
throwing good food out instead of giving it to those who need it. Couple
of guys I knew were arrested for taking bread out of a dumpster, how
insane can things get? At least they got some decent meals and a warm bed
but they were only *trying* to look after themselves without being a
burden on anyone. Letting them have the bread would have cost less.

I know some supermarkets work with charities but AFAIK most don't.

you don't have to wait until those who are intolerant of your point of
view kick you to the curb before you *do* something!

You could get your arse out of bed at 4am every morning---collect x
amount of bottles and cans and bring them to the recyclers for $$$,
right now.

If nothing else,  it allow you to feel *useful*.

Funny, how it is ...

The thought of ...

' You could get your arse out of bed at 4am every morning---collect x
amount of bottles and cans and bring them to the recyclers for $$$,
right now. '

.. makes me feel completely useless

The biggest, most spectacular, FAILURE, you could imagine.

To me, it represents the complete, total, unconditional surrender to
'Apathy'

.. It represents the abandonment of any quality about myself that I
conswidered to be worthwhile.

I( guess that I must be really *sick-in-the-head* for saying that, eh?

I understand what you are saying Linda.  I understand exactly what
motivates you to say it.  From that point-of-view held within the
context with which you apply it; it makes for good, sensible, advice.
.. I am nethier disagreeing or rejecting what you propose.

The reason that I feel that I would rather be dead.  ... the reason
that I feel like worthless, hopeless, garbage when you propose this to
me is also clear to me..

I *know* what I ought to be able to do ..
I *know* what I do well ...
I *know* what is important ...
I *know* what can be accomplished ...

 Accepting what you propose in the 1st person, personal sense ...
I.E. "Me" getting up tomorrow morning from my bed and doing exactly
THAT for real in RL ...

ALSO requires that I accept the ABANDONMENT  of all the abovementioned
productive qualities.

To survive ? ...
To pass the time in the interim ? ....
To teach myself a lesson ? ...

As I see it none of these things are the point-at-all ..

The point is to move my own f.cking a.s and succeed in accomplishing
what I bloody well know I should be accomplishing.

 That is is how I see it SMFPF.

Cordially,

RL

BTW, ... In case you hadn't realized it , I am pushing the envelope as
hard as I f.cking am able to do.

And the only thing it generates is being mocked and dismissed.

But you know that reality very well for yourself.  Don't you.

"All great truths begin as blasphemies."  -George Bernard Shaw

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second,
it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Arthur Schopenhauer German philosopher (1788 - 1860)

The killer is ----once a truth is accepted as self-evident--all those
who participated in ridiculing and violently opposing the truth,
manufacture lies ala historical revisionism to manufacture the false
perception that they had never ridiculed and violently opposed the
truth,  but,  had always been accepted it as self-evident!

Because,  they had ridiculed and violently opposed the truth; even
though the truth had always been self-evident.

Because, their membership in the group is a consequence of their being
willing to make the truth secondary or subordinate to the values and
goals of the group.

Get it?

It's NOT that they don't understand your truth ergo your point of view;
it's that they are INTOLERANT of the truth ergo your point of view.

The greed of the mental health profession incites the MH profession to
engage in DISEASE MONGERING.

The unwillingness of the general populace to assume responsibility for
their character flaws,  or hold their children accountable for their
character flaws incites them to get themselves and their children
diagnosed with a disorder.

Simultaneously,  the overwhelming majority of ethical mental health
professionals are LOATHE to diagnose ADHD or any other mental disorder
in those who have the attributes of what some call ADHD---because,
people who have the attributes of what some call ADHD already have
enuff problems; therefore,  the last thing they need is a diagnosis of
mental illness following them everywhere they go.

Thus,  what some call ADHD is both overdiagnosed and underdiagnosed.

This creates a situation where those who have the attributes of what
some call ADHD,  subscribe to support groups created for people who
have those attributes that have been totally coopted by character
flawed people who don't have the attributes of what some call ADHD;
therefore, the people who have the attributes of what some call ADHd
have the same experience they have everywhere else.

Have you ever asked yourself how the hell the world's most renouned
procrastinators,  who are always willing to consider all points of
view,  and who bristle at all forms of social control wound up with
FOUR,  yes I said,  FOUR FAQ's?

Nobody with the attributes of what some call ADHD would have
participated in the creation of *a* FAQ,  let alone 4 friggen FAQ's.

Because,  the motives for creating FAQ's are a) shove one point of view
down everyone's throat and B) social control.

Parson's posted ASAD's 4 FAQ's every friday or every other Friday.

To incite and inflame those who have the attributes of what some call
ADHD---so they would identify themselves---where upon they be harassed
and defamed and/or stalked until they were successfully run off of
ASAD---because,  character flawed  occupiers are INTOLERANT to the
point of view of those who have the attributes of what some call ADHD.

Remember---the occupation is here to maintain their illusions about
themselves---their having ADHD,  and/or their illusion their child has
ADHD as opposed to having their parents character flaws imprinted on
them,  and their parents having mauchenson by proxy.

In the summer of 2002,  ASAD was overrun with people who have the
attributes of what some call ADHD.

The Occupation set ALL those who have the attributes of what some call
ADHd up in a game of  "Let's you and him fight"

In doing so the Occupation placed the lives of me and mine---and Byte
Me and his S/O,  as well as numerous other posters and their loved ones
in unestimable danger.

The illusions of the Occupiers must be maintained---at all costs.

Your pushing the envelop makes you eligible, too.

Your point of view IS understood; however,  acknowledging your point of
view necessitates the Occupation to give up their illusions about
themselve; which they aren't going to do; therefore, the occupiers
understand but are INTOLERANT to your point of view.

Willfully intolerant.

if you keep doing the same thing over and over again,  you are going to
get the same result over and over again.

IOW---if you keep trying to reason with people who understand your
point of view,  but,  are  willfully intolerant of your point of
view---it's going to get you the same place it got you twice before---a
mental ward.

The only thing I am suggesting you ABANDON---is your false belief that
they don't understand your point of view ergo the truth.

Because, once you abandon your false belief they don't understand your
point of view---ergo the truth...you will using their value system to
take your measure as a man.

Your ceasing to use their value symptom to take your measure as a
man---will cause you to eschew positions in their organizations which
you know you can DO---but,  which they will never LET you succeed at,
and/or give you credit for.

Acceptance of which will inspire you to turn your eyes toward finding
something you can do,  can succeed at,  outside of their organizations,
which you will then be given all the credit you had been seeking,  but
as an INNOVATOR.

Getting your arse out of bed at 4 am and collecting x amount of cans
and bottles and exchanging them for x amount of dollars is a means to
an end.

the end being your rejecting a value system that proclaims people who
get up at 4 am and expend 8 hours a day collecting cans and bottles in
exchange for an honest days wages as "useless".

Read up on the need to globally recycle---a need which the values of
those people cause them to make secondary or subordinate to their
goals; therefore,  refuse to acknowledge--- therefore they refuse to
recycle.

Then,  get your arse out of bed at 4 am and collect cans and bottles
and exchange them for an honest days wages and decide for yourself
whether a person who performs a worthwhile but low pay task is
*useless*.

and,  expose yourself to the BIG LIE which your membership in the group
incites you to tell yourself that people who collect cans and bottles
are useless.

Counter culture, baby!

ONLY this time round,  the counter culture are those who reject a
culture where drugging the populace is it's most prominent feature.

Get it?

the counter culture,  replete with drugs,   of the 60's and 70's are in
charge of todays world.

Today's "counter culture" are people who reject the drugging of every
man woman and child.

A world apart.

Two different worlds.

Parallel, or even multiple universes.

You say you are pushing the envelop?

Then push it!

*Do* something you have been led to believe is *useless*,  then,
decide how you feel about having done something everyone says is
*useless*.

Because,  your belief you will feel useless if you got your arse out of
bed at 4 am etc.---is a consequence of society proclaming that is how
you should feel.

The fact is,  you do NOT know how you will feel if you get your arse
out of bed at 4 am,  and collect x amount of cans and bottles and
exchange them for x amount of $$$ to assist the army of mostly homeless
people who have been performing the absolutely necessary; therefore,
worthwhile task of recycling aluminum cans and glass and plastic
bottles.

Do it or something similiar to discover how you really feel about
yourself when you perform a task which society regards as a task
performed by useless people.

Regards,

Indomitable Linda

PS:  you do realize I LMAO every time I refer to them mockingly as "the
occupation".

Needless to say---I never laugh so much as I do while reading books
like  "All's quiet on the western front" .

Not everyone has had soley negative experiences with mental health
services and/or its practitioners. You have a strong bias against it
that may prevent someone from getting needed help.

I know because I never had any negative experiences with mental health
clinicians.

Bullshit.

I support people seeking any type of help which a person believes will
help them---because,  the placebo effect is such that it will help---so
long as they belive it will help.

For example,  I'm 100% supportive of your seeking all the psychiatric
services you need to obtain scripts for the 18 odd psychotropic drugs
you take daily owing to your belief they help you cope with living life
as the the mentally ill person you believe you are as a consequence of
your having been parented  by a psychologist.

I'm supportive of Twittering One's rejecting being forcibly made to
take poison which will slowly maim and kill her---to exact retribution
against her owing to an intolerance to her point of view---ergo her
truth.

it's subjective---case by case

Because I believe everyone has a right to self-determination.

Now that doesn't sound supportive or open-minded at all. It sounds like
you believe the placebo effect is the only operator, and that
medication is "poison" (that will slowly maim and kill...).

When you say:

>I'm 100% supportive of your seeking all the psychiatric
> services you need to obtain scripts for the 18 odd psychotropic drugs
> you take daily owing to your belief they help you cope with living life
> as the the mentally ill person you believe you are as a consequence of

it really sounds like a mockery and put-down of people who admit to
being mentally ill. So you do have a bias, whether you want to admit it
or not. Your own words demonstrate that.

Twittering One does have the right to reject treatment, and is doing
so. Don't make the mistake of thinking mentally ill people are always
able to exercise free will, however, because that's impossible to do
when your thinking is distorted by whatever physiological process is
going on in the brain that could indirectly kill you faster than the
medication you deride.

Yes, I have a right to take my poison. If I don't, I can count
approximately 3 weeks to the time of my next relapse, despite
wholeheartedly believing--every time I go off meds--that I'm cured and
I won't become manic/depressed "this time." So much for the placebo
effect.

You mistake me for someone who cares what *supportive* and
*open-minded* sounds like to you.

I support your choice to take 18 odd toxic substances that will slowly
maim and kill you---because I believe you have the right to decide for
yourself that the quality of your life is more important then quantity
or longevity.

What I was mocking was the daughter of a psychologist projecting her
negative experiences with MHP's me---and/or accusing me of having a
bias.

LOL. You might heed your own advice. The nickname you've chosen, "Sue
me for posting facts" is strong testimony to *your* inability to
distinguish fact from opinion (or from fiction, for that matter).

I've read enough of your past posts since writing the above message to
discover the only people you even *marginally* tolerate are those who
share your opinions and those who smoother you with flattery.

Since I have no interest in catering to your narcissism, I will wish

biased,  self-serving, skewed, and totally uprovable opinions in favor

Nah!

I ought never have replied to Marcia's initial post since Marcia's
response to my lenghty reply to RL was a sweeping generalization made
to justify her accusing me of preventing people from getting what she
views as *help*---being I know from experience any response I made to
her sweeping generalization and accusation would be used as a
springboard to launch an all out personal attack,  replete with
sinister attribution errors, false inferences and all the other steps
intolerant people engage in to  devalue,  dehumanize and demonize
people expressing points of view they are intolerant of.

Ergo --I asked  her to cease pursuing communications with me since her
emotionally abusive,  morally  harassing  communications are unwelcome
and unwanted.

Stalking the Soul:  Emotional Abuse and Erosion of Identity

by Marie-France Hirogoyen

It is possible to destroy someone simply with words, looks and
innuendoes:
it is called emotional abuse or moral harassment. In this landmark
study,
already a bestseller in France and forthcoming in over ten countries,
the
author analyzes, with numerous examples, the specific features of an
abusive
relationship and cautions against complacency. She demonstrates a
deadly
process at work in couples, families and the workplace--a process that
sweeps its victims into a depressive, sometimes suicidal vortex.

The insidious violence of stalking springs from a determination to get
rid
of another person without, so to speak, dirtying one's hands. The
perverse
individual by nature conceals his/her assaults. Unmasking the deception
is
essential to enable the victim to recover his/her bearings and escape
from
the aggressor's hold.

The author's clinical experience and studies with a concentration in
victimology place her squarely on the side of these victims of
aggression.
It is important to understand what is a real stalking of the soul.

Until now the subject of emotional abuse through perverse violence has
been
largely neglected. This noteworthy and well-documented book is a
practical
guide for its victims and people wishing to help them, as well as for
certified health professionals. Written clearly and vividly, it will
interest all those who choose not to remain indifferent to a painful
and
surprisingly widespread problem in our society today.

Marie-France Hirigoyen is a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and family
therapist. Her studies on victimology in both France and the United
States
led her to further research in the area of stalking and emotional
abuse.

The translator, Helen Marx, is the publisher of Helen Marx Books. After

attending the French Lycée in Buenos Aires and graduating from Smith
College, she worked in Paris. She divides her time between Paris and
New
York.

"Marie-France Hirigoyen has written a book of extraordinary therapeutic

value. Her analysis of the often undetected manipulative patterns in
destructive relationships is both compassionate and profound, and makes
for
a fascinating, exciting, and eye-opening reading experience." --Alice
Miller, author of Drama of the Gifted Child

---------------------------------------------------------------------------­-

----

"Abusiveness fascinates, seduces, and terrifies," writes therapist
Marie-France Hirigoyen in STALKING THE SOUL: Emotional Abuse and the
Erosion
of Identity, a compassionate yet hardhitting study. Emotional Abuse,
she
demonstrates, is not simply a mild form of ill-treatment. Rather, it is
a
deadly process that can destroy couples, families, and workplaces.
Victims
of emotional abuse, Hirigoyen shows, are swept up in a deadly game of
power
and manipulation that saps their sense of self, renders them helpless
to
resist, and leads to despair and sometimes suicide.

Victims who turn to family members, friends or coworkers for help are
often
met with skepticism or false reassurance. Abusers can be charming; the
process of abuse is subtle and difficult to recognize at any given
moment.
Its real power is cumulative--a control exerted through small, daily
acts of
cruelty, through words, silences, looks, and innuendoes. But once we
recognize the patterns, Hirigoyen shows, we realize how dangerous
abusers
can be, in all their relationships. We can recognize them by the trail
of
broken lives they leave behind.

Written vividly, with lucid prose and unforgettable case studies,
STALKING
THE SOUL makes it impossible to remain indifferent to the problem of
emotional abuse any longer. Ultimately, Hirigoyen insists that we are
all
responsible for letting this painful and suprisingly widespread problem

poison so many relationships. STALKING THE SOUL challenges us all to
identify emotional abuse in our own lives and to recognize it in the
lives
of those around us, to break its destructive spell and, finally, to
learn to
live in relationships based on respect and love rather than power and

Ah, excuse me... but when have I *ever* posted to you-other than the
last day or two--let alone harrassed or abused you? I haven't "pursued
communication" *with you *ever*, nor do I want to, other than
correcting this completely distorted message you've written.

Since I have *never* written to you before, nor commented on anything
you've said or done, nor encountered you in any other group, nor in
real life, I'm at a loss to understand *what* past experience with me
would lead you to the conclusion I would launch an "all out personal
attack, replete with sinister attribution errors, false inferences and
all other steps intolerant people engage in to devalue, dehumanize and
demonize people expressing points of view they're intolerant of."

Your point of view is irrelevent to me; I don't care that we disagree
about mental health issues.

And I'm not "Marcie," whoever she is or was. I have no desire to
persecute you, harrass you, abuse you, or do anything else with you or
to you, if that's what she did. That's not the way I treat people, as
anyone who knows me will tell you.

Honestly, I am completely befuddled by this whole situation, your
behavior, and your accusations.

I think if we *both* just go our separate ways, you may feel better. I
know I would.

Besides nothing... I have no intention of harming Twittering One. If
you make her believe I'm here to abuse her, then you're manipulating
her vulnerability for your own gain. That's a horrible thing to do to
someone you supposedly care about.

Why do you need to keep engaging in conversation with me? I've
suggested--twice now--that we end this, and twice you've returned to
attack me and manipulate other readers.

Maybe I should give other people more credit for seeing you for who you
are, and not be so concerned about the content of your distorted
messages.

People like Marcia get sadistc glee out of beating the emotional crap
out of the downtrodden.

They make believe the meaning of downtrodden is something other then
one who has been stepped on one too many times.

The killer is their squealing like stuck pigs upon their getting

So far, I haven't run into many I couldn't talk to civilly on some
level, even if we disagreed on major issues, but I wrote what seemed
(to me) a reasonable response to a message she posted and got a very
hostile and confusing answer in return.

I now see she thinks I'm someone named Marcie, who I take it is an
enemy of hers, so I guess I'm going to pay for Marcie's perceived
indiscretions, in addition to my own.

I guess I'll just ignore her. What else can I do? <shrug>

Uh-oh... I wonder if you can even *buy* that in Ohio... maybe I could

You sound as though you may eventually be an excellent candidate for the
ASAD Management Team (TINAMT). We're always looking for experienced cat
herders!

While we usually require extensive experience posting on ASAD, plus the
completion of an ASAD Management Internship (TINAMI) before considering
a candidate for a place on the Team (TINT), we are willing to substitute
your rather impressive cat herding experience for several months of the
posting and internship requirements.

When a position becomes available, would you like to be considered?

Of course, at that time, it will be necessary for us to do a more
complete review of your qualifications.

Very truly yours,
Human Resources,
ASAD Management Team (TINAMT)

What list?!! There's a "List of People who Can Communicate Civilly with
Nancy and Kitten"?

Who put this list together, and when did they do it? Why wasn't I told?

Does the ASAD Managment Team (TINAMT) know about this?

Must be a pretty long list, especially if it dates from the time we both
started posting in ASAD. :-)

<sigh> Kitten, Kitten, Kitten,

Perhaps you weren't paying attention.

Or perhaps you've forgotten, which makes the ASAD Management Team
(TINAMT) a bit concerned, and perhaps feel more than a bit
unappreciated. :-(

The ASAD Management Team (TINAMT) are the (wonderful) folks who issued
you your official membership card and secret decoder ring years ago. We
are the (terrific) folks who send you the periodic ASAD newsletter--you
do read it, don't you?

> Uhm, who's on the management team?  Should I do any backtracking, make

The ASAD Management Team( TINAMT) is quite used to posters forgetting
about us, or who we are. But we're always here, trying to manage, as
best we can, but it's a very, very, very, very challenging job.

> Uht-oh!  I'm in trouble, aren't I?

The ASAD Management Team (TINAMT) is well aware that most of those
posters who were issued them have lost them. You may have noticed that
we haven't sent out any coded messages in many months.

The ASAD Management Team (TINAMT) is still reviewing the issue of
whether we should buy more and reissue them to members who have
misplaced or lost them, viewing the expense as a cost of doing business
in ASAD.

Or we may just decide to forget the whole thing. <sigh>

Let's see.

Mythomaniac Marcia posted the fabrication Marcia made up out of whole
cloth that Marcie was an *enemy* of mine.

Mythomaniac Caitriona followed up aforementioned fabrication with
another fabrication made up out of whole cloth---that Caitriona is on a
list---implied to be an enemy list.

And,  both mythomaniacs are so delusional they imagine rational people
want to engage in discourse with them!

No?

Should I?

I think for myself.

However,  readers often advise me that some of my cognitions were
previously set forth  by someone other then me.

I like it when people advise me of that fact.

Because,  everyone writes better than I....

Therefore,  I can post recognized authors more concise,  succinct,
articulate words---in place of my less concise, succinct,  articulate
words to comminicate my message.

'These are times which try men's souls.'

An Intolerance to Virginia's point of view ---has resulted in Virginia
being amongst the many incredibly bright american's whose ability to
earn a living has been severely  restricted by the actions of the
unethical members of the MH profession and courts they have corrupted.

(See Margaret Hagen's *Whores of the Court: The Fraud of Psychiatric

Proverbs 9
Invitations of Wisdom and of Folly
1 Wisdom has built her house;
she has hewn out its seven pillars.

2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.

3 She has sent out her maids, and she calls
from the highest point of the city.

4 "Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.

5 "Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.

6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of understanding.

7 "Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult;
whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.

8 Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man and he will love you.

9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.

10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 For through me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.

12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;
if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."

13 The woman Folly is loud;
she is undisciplined and without knowledge.

14 She sits at the door of her house,
on a seat at the highest point of the city,

15 calling out to those who pass by,
who go straight on their way.

16 "Let all who are simple come in here!"
she says to those who lack judgment.

17 "Stolen water is sweet;
food eaten in secret is delicious!"

18 But little do they know that the dead are there,
that her guests are in the depths of the grave.---from Proverbs

hear and give ear to all the repentances which the Pistis Sophia said.
She continued again and spoke the third repentance, saying :

1. 'O Light of the powers, give heed and save me.

2. May those that want to take away my light from me fail and he in
darkness. Let them return to the Chaos, and may those who want to take
away my power be put to shame.

3. May those that persecute me and say : we have become lords over her,
return quickly to the darkness.

4. May all those who seek after the light rejoice and flourish and may
they who want thy mystery say at all times : let the mystery be raised
up.

5. Do thou now at this time save me, O Light, for I am lacking in my
light, which has been taken away. And I need my power which has been
taken from me. Thou, O Light, thou art my Saviour, and thou art my
rescuer, O Light.

Save me quickly out of this Chaos'." .

CHAPTER 38.

It happened, however, when Jesus finished saying these words to his
disciples, saying: "This is the third repentance which the Pistis
Sophia said", he said to them : "Let him in whom the Spirit of
perception has arisen, come forward and speak with understanding of the
repentance which the Pistis Sophia said".

It happened now, before Jesus had finished speaking, Martha came
forward, she prostrated herself at his feet, she kissed them. She cried
out, she wept aloud in humility, saying: "My Lord, have mercy on me,
and be compassionate towards me, and allow me to say the interpretation
of the repentance which the Pistis Sophia said". And Jesus gave Martha
his hand , he said to her : "Blessed is every man who humbles himself,
for to him will mercy be given . Now at this time, Martha, thou art
blessed. Never- ' give now the interpretation of the thought of the
repentance of the Pistis Sophia".

Martha, however, answered and said to Jesus in the midst of the
disciples : "Concerning the repentance which the Pistis Sophia said, O
my Lord Jesus, thy light-power which was in David once prophesied in
the 69th psalm, saying :

1. O Lord God, give heed to my help.

2. Let those that seek after my soul be put to shame and disgraced.

3. May those that say to me : excellent, excellent, be turned back
immediately and put to shame.

4. May all those that seek after thee be glad and rejoice over thee;
and may those that love thy salvation say at all times : let God be
exalted.

5. But I am poor and I am needy. O Lord, help me ; thou art my help and
my defense. O Lord, do not delay.' This now is the interpretation of
the third repentance which the Pistis Sophia said, singing praises to
the height.".--from the Pistas Sophia

Holy Folly lost her voice... while she had/has one of the most
distinctive twittering one's ...  lost at far too young age. As in the
"Dinesy little mermaid movie"-the mermaid wants to be human and goes to
the sea witch and trades her voice for legs ... while our T1 trades her
voice for Cans...

An elegant and perceptive reading ...

But frankly, I need my AD[Hi!]H meds to fully appreciate.
Many thanks.

Dont Worry Capitain... I am sure that Twitty is on secret Mission ... I
think so secret that only the high priest Steve and Twitty, who have
long worked undercover known thetruth... VR Salvage Mission S Secret...
My sub space communication transponder is picking up signals... A
normal message would travel through sub-space... While we are jumping
here into warp through a new kind of warphole upper-space... There are
no enemy ships in the system currently and War'ol-capable civilizations
face starving or freezing to death -- and because their subspace
communications don't work, they can't even alert others to their
plight. The locale Federation, can reach the brink of war as they blame
one another for the growing galactic catastrophe...  Is Twitty on
Secret Mission to save Civilisation from their own? Remains the
Question...

Virginia, I don't know who nightbat and the rest are, and I don't know
how well you know them.  I just know I've broken several 'net rules
about meeting folks, etc.  I know why the rules are there.  Be careful.

LOL... come bottle-feed my rescued lambs and goat-kids.

There are those who would find fault in my not sending $$$ to T1.
However, I'm sure she understands that with 100 or so animals plus two
children to feed and provide medical care for, that becomes a bit
difficult.  Any time she wishes someone to talk with, I will do my
best.  And if she needs a country vacation, she is welcome.  She has
long been an online friend.

But money, that is tight.  <shrug>

A visit with kitten sounds a whole lot better than taking up with a
batty nutcase in Indiana. But kitten, where would V go when the visit
is over?

Well, now, that would depend on V and where, at that point, she's
decided she needs to go.  Right?

I just don't know if she wants to take a sabatical on a working farm.
It's relaxing.  It's refreshing. And it can be a lot of hard work, with
times of heartbreak.

An example:  Last week, we lost Pepper, a little doeling I'd been
working a month to save.  She was just getting better, just getting to
where she could put her weight on the leg that had been broken when we
were out of town.  She'd come through Floppy Kid Syndrome and a couple
of other things as well.

Because she was doing so much better, we had started putting her
outside with the others during the day.  Then last Friday, she ate
something she shouldn't have.  In 30 minutes, she went from a
much-improved state of health to dead in my arms as Chewy and I were
trying to save her.

I won't lie to V and tell her that it's idyllic, as so many seem to
think farm life would be.  It's *different* than what she's known.
It's awe-inspiring.  I want no other way of life.  But it's damn hard
at times.

The offer stands open, but it's up to V to decide.  She knows how to
contact me.

Where do you live?

You know V would be constantly itching for her daily dexedrine fix, and
you'd have to decide if you could live with her abusive e-mail behavior
going on in your home, and... there's still the matter of her
possessions in the Yonkers warehouse.
