CRISPINS CRITTERS

[AU24K]

I received a call yesterday...from someone I haven't talked to in four years or so. Life gets busy you know. Sometimes you don't realize the impact you've had on someone until years later. I sure didn't...sometimes life throws crap your way. But there's always another day! I know this person has impacted my life in profound ways.
I must do better at staying in touch! If it wasn't for this person in my past, I can honestly say I'd be extremely poor still, and a much different person.
I learned another valuable life lesson from him again yesterday...

I find myself also connecting with Folks from my past...
Of MY choosing....

This computer age and all.

And I find new Friends, because of the computer.
Friends that I may never meet,
But will always feel joy in conversing with.

Like you and all of my Friends here!

I always play my cards close to the vest when delving into the past....

Best Wishes,

Scott

2GF,

Lots of the details don't add up as to how this happened I'm with you....300 to 1 armed or not he should have been taken out pure and simple.

Current generations are raised to be nonviolent socially.
No fighting,teasing,bullying, which is good to avoid ,but leaves self defense out of the equation by avoiding confrontation... as it is deemed a violent activity.
Call the authorities. Flee and hide. Last measure of defense when one is never expected to be needed=?
Victims, as in many assaults/robberies/and other crimes, are often chosen by greatest lack of potential resistance and defense.
Disbelief and confusion during assault , with no premeditated defense or training responding or reacting confirms the selection of soft targets.
A cowardly assault to be sure......but so chosen by a certain mind frame for it's terroristic effect.

I feel the same Scott! I can't express fully how happy I was to hear from him! We have always been good friends, I just wish I could repay him somehow. He forever changed the course of my life!
And your right Scott, the computer technology has done tremendous things to connect people. Like you k consider all of us friends.

Awesome Dram!!

 

[dieselram94]

I'm just in my garage buffing out my latest boat, thinking about the past. How I would have changed many things, how I wish I knew then what I know now. It is true, wisdom does come with age!
How's it look so far?

It's amazing how you can take a old disgusting chalky boat and almost effortlessly shine it up!

RC so right..... Is it the political correctness ? I'm a fighter and a survivor as are all of my friends here. A different generation maybe? I don't know

Dram you rock. I get email updates from that SY Zero sailboat. They are headed to Kodiak AK

As a small, and smart(alek) kid in school, I was the favorite target of bullies.
'Cause I never fought back....



Until the day I said, "NO MORE!"

I totally went off on a 9th grader when I was in 7th grade.

When a male teacher pulled me off of him, he had to go to the hospital with a broken nose.

NOBODY ever bullied me every since. Word got out.
Don't attack 'cause he's strong....

That's a close analogy of this song ...

Perhaps?



Is America weak?
Ripe for the "bully's" attacks?

Scott

Here's some words....


"Suite Madame Blue"

Time after time I sit and I wait for your call
I know I'm a fool but why can I say
Whatever the price I'll pay for you, Madame Blue
Once long ago, a word from your lips and the world turned around
But somehow you've changed, you're so far away
I long for the past and dream of the days with you, Madame Blue

Suite Madame Blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Suite Madame Blue, the future is all but past
Dressed in your jewels, you made your own rules
You conquered the world and more ..............heaven's door

America....America...America..America..
America....America...America..America..
America....America...America..America..

Red white and blue, gaze in your looking glass
You're not a child anymore
Red, white, and blue, the future is all but past
So lift up your heart, make a new start
And lead us away from here

Not weak enough Scott, not ..yet.

 

[bill from lachine]

Folks,

At times we all have to draw a line in the sand and not back down....I've had a few of those moments in my younger years as Scott alluded to....a bully grabbed me and pushed my face in the snow bank when I was a kid almost suffocating me.

Instead of throwing in the towel I went home grabbed a shovel and chased him all the way home....after that the bullying ended.

Lesson learned and have never had many times since needing to push the envelope to have them back down except a few strong words to back off usually works.

Regards + HH

I agree RC, but we need a course change immediately!

I'm glad to hear that the connection was pleasant for you.
Is there a chance of meeting up for whatever you guys like to do?
Like metal detecting, "gearheading" or just to share a beer and get caught up....

Best,

Scott

PS.
Would mountain camping be in the mix of things Y'all like?

Daughter took second in a shoot this weekend.
She is no fan of the peww,peww,pew curtain of lead school of thought , but can shoot well enough when left to her own choice of weapon.
Can throw a knife and a hawk too.
Not a violent atom in her but she does not parade as a victim.
Studied self defense too.
I feel concern now she is grown and out in the world, but have little to say about it except for her to maintain situational awareness.
It has not been political ,but historical , and a side of my past ,and a youth being exposed to a parents lifestyle and that youth rightly choosing what to do when choices and decisions are hers. We are very different in skills and opinions about enough things... but share some interests still occasionally in similar skills that are not mainstream.
We get along due to choosing to get along as well ,and that includes not criticizing the others choices based on either individuals. Questions are fine when polite but answers are voluntary.
Hopefully she will continue to pass the baton herself in teaching some not common anymore skills to her own youth should any come to be... or as demonstrated in the past ,with any sincerely interested in learning..

Yes, looks like we're going to meet up in the future. He doesn't detect, and he's no longer able to turn wrenches. However that won't matter, we always have the laughs!!
I don't think he's up for mountain camping,but it sounds cool to me!
We did use to go to Glamis California all the time in the winter months when I used to live out there. There's nothing like competition hill at night!!

Hey RC my boys and I LOVE to throw the hawk! It's a big competition here! I love it!

 

[bill from lachine]

diesel,

That's not the type of place I'd be hanging out in Orlando but pretty sure most of the regulars here if we were in a place like that would probably be prepared to use a well placed shot to the back of the head with the nearest chair to neutralize the perp....

When America calls,

I AM ALWAYS READY!

Within 24 hours I can be on a flight to anywhere in the world.

Again, I have said too much....

Ummm... I hope I can sell enough crap on ebay for a cheap ticket....
