Yea, no doubt I should have glued it before continuing work instead of just wrapping. Wonder if it's too late. Awfully sore, more concerned with infection now. Still looks ok. If still looks good tonight, think Ill do that.
I'm so used to just calling someone over the phone. :(

Joint compound? Thinking of knee.
 
I think this forum has outlived its usefulness for me.

Not saying I won't be around, just that I won't be around much.

Carry on. :)
 
Moral reasoning . . . logical reasoning . . . moral relativism . . . ethics . . . principles . . . Calgon, take me away! :eek:
 
I have a $10,000 check in my pocket :D
(this is the largest amount of money I have ever spent in a single transaction).
 
You are my friend, you know me better than anyone there. But, you should have fuckin told me. I realize you didn't want to scare me needlessly, but don't you think I have the right to judge the danger for myself?!

Any irrational opposition that is sick enough to use that for intimidation, is sick enough to...

I am feeling better, (just my back), though not in any shape to run. It will take me a few days to get over being mad at you, but I will.

Wow, I had a feeling I didn't get paid for October last year, and sure enough I wasn't. $2,000 more in my savings account! :D

By the by, I need to thank you for posting this. It reminded me that I needed to call our payroll department and straighten out my withholding. ;)
 
Our local council now records its debates and they are available on the internet.

My voice is heard too many times.

Last night there were a couple of firsts. One councillor started his speech in Welsh and a public speaker (a university professor) used a familiar quote from Virgil in Latin "Facilis descendis Averno...". The Latin was followed by a translation. The Welsh, except for a subsequent speech started "Dim Cymri" (No Welsh this time) wasn't translated because the original speech abused the ruling party with unprintable epithets.

Next time I have to speak, do I quote a foreign language? If so, which? A few words in an obscure African dialect might confuse the committee secretary.

Probably not. Unlike my stories on Literotica, I have to use simple English and simple statements if the Councillors are to take any notice of what I say. My rough rule of thumb is not to try to get more than three points across, and if possible stick to just one. The Councillors aren't lacking in intelligence and understanding but their meetings are long, their decision making systems are complex, and a simple straightfoward argument is an effective contrast to the local-government speak of the agenda papers.

But I'm still tempted. For a short quotation, almost any language is feasible to learn parrot-fashion. I know local native speakers of French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbo-Croat, Greek (modern and Attic), Egyptian and Classic Arabic, Tigrayan...

The difficulty is that with some languages I wouldn't know whether what I was being taught actually means what I intend to say, or is obscene. :D
