The Dino-Aspie Ex-Café (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)

Post Reply New Topic

I just posted the question that seems to be floating around about who owns what, when it comes to writing here. I put it in the forum about WP. Add to the questions if I didn't address them. Might as well go to the source for the answer.

I work in the shipping department of a company that manufactures windows, there are a lot of cutting,
grinding, drilling, and punching machines. Most of the time I operate the shrink wrapping machine, but often
I have to use the power-jack to move racks and carts of windows and sashes from the production lines
to my work area. There are too many opportunities for disaster if you don't pay attention to what you are doing.


By the way the first 11 items make great tag-lines.

Well, based upon what I've been told by arrea beach monitors irate at my beachcombing, the reason lake Superior is receding is that you are collecting too many rocks from the shoreline and thus expanding the size of the "bowl."


What a lot of hooey....it's global warming and the re-election of king george...thats my theory and I'm sticking with it.DO you know how much "rock is being sold to decorate local shooping malls(When I am to poor to go to Duluth to hunt rocks,I head to our local shooping center and steal their "decoritive rocks"....People are always stop[ing and asking if I "lost something",enough times that I devloped a response...."Yeah,my mind...bahhahahahah"


If anyone wishes to discuss this with me, I am interested, but want to discuss it only through private, personal email. Please feel free to pm me to make such arrangements, if you wish to.[/quote]

Thanks,I will PM you a link when we get the web site up and running....(still waiting for a computer literate volunteer for this but people seem to think I can do it myself).......at this I just laugh and laugh.Took me months to set up an email account.I must not come off as computer moronic as I really am?I may have to do it myself.That should be worth a few laughs for the tech savy.Always willing to give folks a cheap laugh.

Watch a wave when it pulls back. It has material in it. The size of the material it carrys back is in proportion to it's force. It no longer can carry back pebbles but it can sand. It never had the power to put cobble there to begin with.

If the material off shore doesn't have much sand or cobble to begin with and has lots of pebble, then you've already narrow down what it can put on shore to begin with.

This is all guess on my part. I don't really know. I can't help thinking like this.

Alex pointed me to this link, should answer any of the questions that have been floating around concerning writing.

Now, before anyone goes on the warpath, this protects us as well. In other words no one can rip off what you write and claim it as thier own.

I have a long list of slogans/bumper stickers I call ASPIES RULE.

Robyn, Gondwanaland never included North America. For NoAM and Oz to be united, one has to go all the way back, or forward, to Pangaea.

Or, were you not being literal?

Spam all the comments by completely filling them to their maximum carrying capacity for characters with trash.

Godwit, I was trying to link up with the flow of the place. I know that we (Godwanaland) were not attached to you physically except by our shared British heritage.

(sigh) ... he reminds me of Quatermass ...

I am not particularly logical but mostly intuitive. In RW intuitive thought is not recognised as a powerful way of thinking because it is usually a female process. But the women's movement is fighting back and arguing on the power of intuition.

You see I can have problems on an aspie site (sigh!)

And I wanted to get a dig in about Bush!

How would you feel, Alan, if I retained the right FOREVER to publish, in a new manner to a new audience and with at least the potential for me profitting from it, every word or just my selection of words, from every word you ever wrote to me, and could do so without your prior specific authorization?

OK I redactttotlaly.

If I signed an agreement, then I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind anyway, actually. See I believe in the real term of "hacker". Someone does a program and leaves it in a drawer, someone else comes along and picks it up and improves on it and puts it back in the drwer and so on. The best known example is Linux.

What Alex has not said and people might tend to think of him otherwise is his intent to profit. I have never seen this intent. What I tried to say and probably poorly is, what is in the rules stops others from doing just exactly what you expressed above. If you also read the agreement, he didn't say you couldn't use what you wrote else where, it has to come to his attention. By that, if I pick up your words he'll put his foot down and say no you can't do that.

Now the danger if what I just said is this. I'm putting words in Alex's mouth. I did put up the link to where I posted the message. I'm just the messanger. Ask him, he's human and I also remind you he's Aspie.

I apologise for making an aside about you, Godwit. I was annoyed when someone made an aside about me and I retaliated by using it in my signature.

So I will rephrase ...you remind me of Quatermass becaause he never lets me get away with anything. I do feel some symapthy with him and with you because I know my husband gets annoyed with my wooly thinking and leaping off into tangents'

But I do have a confession. I am a direct diescendent of convicts on the first fleet. Both of my great great great... grandparents were 'thieves'. My grandmother would have been hung but the judge was retiring that day and had her transported instead. I'm glad he spared her life because I wouldn't be me if he hadn't.

If you read "Morgan's Run" by my relative Colleen McCulloch, you will read about our shared ancestors in the conclusion of the book - the Lucas family.

Actually, my story was more about the silliness involved. There was another toilet upstairs. I have no idea why I insisted on using the occupied one. (Or maybe I do, now...)

I don't really understand what you mean, but there's no need to appologize to me for using the "Asutralia founding stereotype" joke. It's just that I find stereotypes funny, and often use them to point out their innanity. Sort of like I take negative comments and try to transform them from negative comments to funny comments.



I haven't noticed that you have woolly thinking or that you leap off into tangents. My brain works almost entirely on free association, and it's really hard to pull anything that anyone can comprehend out of it to speak or write. So if you do leap off into tangents, it would feel right comfortable to me.



Well, on the first hand, that's nothing for you to confess, as one's ancestry has nothing to do with who one is. You might as well confess that you're human, or have a certain color hair or eyes or skin. One isn't responsible for the behavior of one's parents, grandparent, ancestors or anyone else, except oneself. And, to the best of my knowledge criminality is not an inheritable trait.

And on the second hand, I've met a lot of nice people who were convicted of crimes for which they were not guilty. And I've also met a some very nice people who at one time committed horrible acts but had somehow redeemed themselves. Redemption is a wonderful thing and should never be overlooked.

And on then third hand, I'm glad you did have ancestors, regardless of who they were, or you wouldn't be here.

So, did that make any sense whatsoever?

I think I'm calm now.

Holy Mackrel - It's like taking a number in the supermarket before you can post in the cafe tonight. I'm responding to Richie's post which was two pages back.

I used to work in a window manufacturing company, window hardware actually. Caldwell Manufacturing. I really don't understand what it was that I was doing on the production line. Loading springs into window frames, I think. We always made fun for ourselves on the line, it made the day go faster because the work was mind numbing otherwise. I also used to operate a little machine that attached hooks of some kind on the ends of the coiled springs. The women on the line got to know each other very well, because we had eight hours a day to gab. It's a fond memory.
