Feb 2nd should be a boating holiday
February 2.
Halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Celebrated for thousands of years by most advanced religious traditions. Has been westernized as St. Brigid's Day: St Brigid was supposedly the daughter or employee of the inkeeper in Bethlehem. When Mary and Joseph arrived, the hotel was full and the well had gone dry. The innkeeper left Brigid in charge, with strict instructions not to sell any portion of the meager food and water reserves to anybody. According to legend, Brigid obeyed the innkeeper and did not sell them any food or drink-- but she gave freely of her own personal loaf of bread and flask of drinking water. The legend says that after the holy family left to go to the stable, Brigid noticed that her loaf of bread, which had been almost entirely consumed by Mary and Joseph was fully restored, and her water flask was brimming with cool, clear water. Charming tale. Also previously known as Candlemass, marking the end of Mary's ritual purification period following the birth of Jesus. Also previously known as a heck of an excuse to party, while recognizing any number of polytheistic dieties. :-) Now popularly known as "Groundhog Day." Any of the old stories are more interesting than some tradition about a burrowing animal and a shadow. Ought to be a boating holiday. It's halfway between solstice and equinox, boating weather and longer daylight hours are returning to the northern latitudes. |

There isn't a cloud in the sky, the winds are calm, and the temperature is a brisk 30 F. But, Punxsutawney Bill, our local groundhog, says, "Six more weeks!" John H Hehe...would you mean PHIL??? |

Things are looking up.We may actually creep a degree or two over the freezing mark in the next day or so. It's been a while! |

Now, perhaps you have to your usenet support groups that you frequent that help you deal with your pathetic existence. |

Because I can, and do read the newspaper????? Congratulations. How long did it take you to learn how to do it? Jeez, I don't exactly know that, Jim. I think I began reading short words, from the Dick and Jane books.. And that was when? Last year perhaps? Congratulations on the step up to newspapers. Are you past the funny pages yet? Pretty stupid of you, really Jim. Stop, think for a second. You CAN think can't you? How the hell do you suppose I'm reading your drivel?? DOH...... I would have guessed your Mom is reading it to you....or that Harry is re-writing it in real short words and sending it back to you to read. You did, after all, just admit that you just completed learning the short words in the Dick and Jane books. Short words....a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=short%20pants" onmouseover="window.status='a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=short%20pants" onmouseover="window.status='short pants'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"short pants/a'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"short pants/a....the short bus......most likely a short penis also..... Life must be a bitch for you. It certainly must be for YOU, with reading comprehension like yours!!! Please, Jim show where I ever said that I "just completed learning the short words in the Dick and Jane books." Man oh Man! I'm not sure you can read ANYTHING and actually grasp the content. It is sure fun trolling for Bassy.........then catching him, playing with him on the line for a bit before reeling him in and releasing him. And the fun part is he keeps going for the same bait. This boy will never learn. Releasing you now Bassy.....but my baited hook will be in the water again in a minute or so.....are you ready? Hehe! I love it! EVERY time that you finally figure out that you can't get it right, and realize you were dead wrong, you then try to say, oh, I knew I was wrong, I was just trolling...... LOL. Where I have I ever said that before? And those folks reading this very stupid thread will know I was not wrong. Really? Then please, show where I said that I "just completed learning the short words in the Dick and Jane books" as YOU stated. Very stupid thread, indeed. Only because YOU made it so. Yep....I had to bring it down to your level. Get it? You are the only one who does not get it. In fact, I can never remember a time where you did get it. I got it now. I had it throughout this thread. Got it? Quite the contrary, Jim. You are the one who "doesn't get it". Your reading comprehension above would tell one such. "Your reading comprehension above..."????? Yikes! Nope, you don't get it and you still don't have a clue. Speaking of that.....it looks like you never found the "clue" you lost. You also did not pay a visit to the Wizard like I told you to do. Both were homework assignments from over a week ago. You don't "tell" me anything. Who to **** do you think you are? Your boss....your Commander. Now do as I say. Get back with me when your homework is finished. You will need to show me your "clue" and the brain the Wizard gave you in order to get a passing grade. Kiss my ass. Do this, Jim. Make me do anything I don't feel like doing. Try it. Your choice Bassy......keep being "clueless" and without a brain. I was only trying to help you and your buddy Krause. |
