PostPaleo, will you please try not to be so heavy handed with the Caps Lock key? I find it very distracting when trying to read your posts, plus it startles me. I am Aspie, you know. :roll: :wink:

The young! We will never understand them. The ex is shattered becuase it all came out of the blue and he had made a life time committment!


She's the one getting the divorce not you. If she's old enough to get married and divorced she's old enough to understand your side too.

Thanks. I already read that link. It either doesn't answer my question, or I misread what it is in the article. I have also looked at several other geology pages, and none explain why one beach is sand, another is pebble and another is rock.

PS I have a Santa Claus theroy too.


I HATE THE CAP LOCK TOO. IT"S REALLY IRRITATING WHEN THE DOUBLE QUOTES SHOW UP IN IT"S INSTEAD OF AN APOSTROPHE. But most times, I just go back and retype. Given that the content is so unintelligible, I figure it should at least look good.

Santa hasn't visited me in a long, long time. If you tell me your theory, might it help?

Has nothing to do with us. This man only works one night a year, I think he's a beach bum on his time off. It's all right there in another beach theroy. If you figure it out, we'll write it up, fill it with 50 cent words and start an urban myth on wiki. I don't know why they don't have a think tank someplace that does nothing but put out urban myths, people do like them alot. I see a buck in this. Maybe 2. Might even be able to afford a damn keyboard with no caps lock. And just way is it you have to pay more for something that has less? Life is such a mystery, but I've got a theroy about that too.

I didn't like that Santa talk. I still have hopes.

But I do like the urban myth think tank talk.

The problem I see with that though is: Doesn't the urban myth think tank already exist in every media outlet, every advertisement, and practically everybody's mouth, already?

I mean, is there anything that's discussed regularly that isn't an urban myth? Well, other than the suburban myths, the rural myths, and the rarer wilderness myths, of course.

Like, does anybody actually employ scientific methods anymore, like scientists used to, once upon a time, before they also got into cashing in through myth making?

Dunno. The whole concept of why myths were created are pretty interesting, well to me. Personly I think the fear element enters into it. Fear sells. Real knowledge doesn't make the best seller list all that often. It usually shows up in the C section on page 14, lower left hand corner. But a lot of myths, legends have some basis in fact, just get a little distorted.

Flatlanders and Ridgerunners: Folktales from the Mountains of Northern Pennsylvania. It was written by a guy I was just beginning to meet. It's about my area mostly. I never could get him to talk to much about what he knew, he was more interested in what I was up to. I never got the chance to grant him his wish. Helluva nice guy.

So, does this mean that I've jsut killed this little fantasy adventure of yours/

And now somebody has to come up with a new concept, like cow tipping (which I have done)?

I forget where (brain death) the guy who slept for 40 years took place. Was that near you. Or was that me that did that?

Alan! Do you know that I also have dyslexia? Either it's milfder than yoursd or I have been punished enough into correcting it before I allow it to be seen. I am just not doing the correcting at the moment. have you noticed the increased error rate when i am tired or stressed?

Rip Van Winkle, over some, Hudson River area. Washington Irving. Think it takes about 6 or so hours to hit downtown New York from here. Been a while and it's nothing I have the urge to do. Didn't like it too much when I had to go to the suburban parts.

Hit google maps, look up Millerton, Pennsylvania

Yeah I did, it shows in your sentence structure. I didn't know this until really recently. More then a couple here that use that same type of structure. I'm beginning to think mine is faIRLY MILD (f*****g cap button) but it gets worse the longer I push myself to be sure. Think I can find the link where it's discussed, it will show up here in a bit.

Sorry, Mom, but for the life of me I cannot remember what Number One was. It has been several minutes or hours since that was posted. Of course, I may not have understood it to begin with, so can you run that one by me again?
