Thanks VM, they just left and the gannets believe it or not brought all their own food rather than some of it although I always provide enough. I now have cakes for a month and some nice biscuits and turkish delight as they left whatever they opened already with me, and one pack left of the sausage rolls. The croissants went in the freezer as they'd only last a day and weren't opened, so no shopping for a week or two and will really have to pace myself or will easily put on a stone as I have in the past. Nothing wrong with gannets of course, they do keep the shoreline clean and only doing their best to survive.
They're doing predictions for 2011 as usual on the radio, I predict nothing as the only predictable element is inertia, that everything stays the same and the bits that do change are the parts we can't predict. If it's already possible it's not predicting but projecting as you know the likelihood, a true prediction is random and pretty well worthless but it becomes a very dangerous obsession once it crosses from mindless curiosity to political policies.
So as I always do 2011 will be like 2010 but with higher taxes and prices and greater fraud, both from the IPCC/UN and large governments such as Russia who have already been exposed by our diplomatic service as both spying as much as they did before the Soviet Union broke up, and bribing many of their contractors over there. As it's survival of the fittest in politics the strongest rather than the best will win and grow, and the ones with the biggest armies. China will take over as the greatest power, and as such of course the power will tip from capitalism to communism and as such others will be economically inclined to join as that's where the alleged treasure will move to. Of course that'll be an illusion as the way it's organised it's actually an oligarchy with the lion's share going to the party leaders and business owners just like in a fascist state, as whatever they call themselves China is a fascist totalitarian state and Russia is an anarchic oligopoly, ie a lawless state with a small cabal leading and creaming off the wealth. I say this not as an outsider but a direct description by a Russian expert in an article this week. Unlike Italy where it's the only country the Mafia doesn't exist (using the omerta principle) the Russians are not coy about their lack of a political system, while India are learning it fast. These are all projections seeing the way these previously poor countries are taking over as wealthy overall while maintaining the rich-poor divisions of the old days. That is pure totalitarian/authoritarian fascism or near anarchism depending on the strength of the government, the only difference being who runs the organised crime. And seeing this work across the east the west may have little choice but to go the same way.
Otherwise Britain will remain obsessed with the type of celebrities who used to be seen pouring out of stretch limos and singing in pubs while drunk. They have taken over from the trained talent of the past millennium, and once they get themselves on prime time TV can earn enough in the year or so they're marketable to retire once they are replaced by the next year's set. While they are otherwise distracted, as Alex Jones points out as well, governments do more or less as they choose and the 'reality' TV is more real to most than the actual reality which feels like it's happening in a film. Until and unless enough people wake up this is not a prediction but a guarantee.
You can thank me for ruining the year already but that's probably my forte...

2011, captain's log. The food has been stored and begun which ended up with a profit despite five people present last night due to more donations than consumption. The sausage rolls were good, I microwaved them rather than using the oven and couldn't see the difference, except they'd have been crisp in the oven, but three remain for the longer treatment later in the week. It's these details that make blogging real (I have to keep saying this to myself whatever the true situation). Besides sorting out all my previous chores I now just have the eye test and car service saved up for when people (and me) get back to work, and then the builder lined up to fix my garage roof. All exciting stuff but part of the usual maintenance process.
So I've no idea what's ahead (besides the inertial principle I mentioned before, ie things are most likely to repeat past patterns unless something interrupts them), I think article 2 is the likeliest addition to the list but won't make a blind bit of difference to anything really. But rather add it than not, I'm just realistic that everything short of being either in a national paper or top magazine hardly anyone will notice whatever you write. In my dreams, and with the odds of maybe a £100 lottery win there is a woman in the background who could in theory be interested, but won't add any more unless it actually happens. No doubt I will find out one way or the other sooner or later and until I do then I'm not expecting or assuming anything.
But 2010 added far more besides the TV filmings a couple of years earlier and beyond, so a profit compared to many of the last 10 years or so I reckon. Is it true the greater the ambition the more effort and difficulty is required? Not always. Women turn up often on their own and things can just happen or require lots of planning and work depending just how interested they are. Other people do more or less arrive at random wherever you put yourself about, you can join five groups and meet a bunch of (what words won't get me booted out here?) plonkers (I think that's OK) and go to a single event and meet a new friend for life. I met two very interesting and attractive women today in the outdoor gym as mine was closed, and as I was the only one there they had no problem talking to me, which I don't think has happened more than a couple of times in the usual gym in 8 years. People just turn up and you can't chase them any more than anything else. As for improvements in my career, short of doing a few lectures, assuming I have enough material to manage one, new business tends to come to me from existing contacts, and in my field there are only a small number of sources of client and media work and they come to you most of the time, besides the handful of publications I've approached already with varying results. I'm pretty much on the case on the media front and can't do a lot different to speed up the process. Other than that I can only assume if Wikileaks have a UFO revelation it can't be prevented from coming out or they'd have done that to others already, although nothing they have released has revealed a darn thing as far as I know. But it's not my job to predict, so besides going to the gym tomorrow I think the rest will remain unknown beyond the usual bounds. |

I just read about some dreams on Facebook, and thought it would be an idea to escape there for a while and leave the rest behind. Calling dreams into reality is old shamanic practice, and there are overlaps already- much of dreams are memories while when original ideas come in dreams they can create reality through music and art seen there and reproduced here. They also point me to aims, as you can experience how you'd feel in all sorts of situations before they happen, if they ever do, and somehow point yourself in that direction, which I believe is the only way of winning goals indirectly which you can never get directly.
I'd say the element of dreams which is most apparent is relief. When you finally get what you've always wanted you can relax and stop running. And they aren't all disappointments when you wake up, some can become real as one or two of mine did soon after. And I'm sure I meet and converse with a few real people as well from time to time, wherever they may be. Human or otherwise their own awareness may join with ours when asleep or meditating, and I have at least been able to confirm some of the names I was given which not being actual words are impossible to make up in advance by cheating. You can't invent genuine names you've never come across before especially when you get a few together.
So I'd like to make some more dreams become real- the ones where I've recently got married are a good place to start, no more chase, being alone or wondering. You have someone and know they're right. I may have reached that point for a few minutes, an evening or a week or two in the past but they've never stayed around for long for some reason. No, I stop picking the nose and anything similar when in company (except clearly the family who ought to get used to it by now) but that's a dead end subject at the moment. One of the best ones is when I'm in a TV studio being filmed, sometimes on Big Brother. That became real as well as if you go and visit at the end of the series the cameras did roll the second time I went and although not actually in the house the housemates came out to us and one was followed by a TV crew. I'd still like to actually speak on proper TV and be on for more than 5 seconds but another overlap there.
I won't mention the bad ones besides saying the relief there is when you wake up and find whatever you'd just lost is still there. But I think there's a lot more going on outside our normal awareness which is brought in during dreams, and some can manage to reach them without going to sleep if lucky enough to break through the barrier. People say I should be happy as a normal human being, but like a small group throughout time, I always feel there's more out there and can't carry on without looking for it. I've seen a bit after such a long time searching but only just crossed the line a few times to confirm at least something out there is real as well as our world. |

VM, I don't think David could easily forget the TP. I suspect that what he doesn't know about it hasn't happened yet.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper
David, glad you got food supplies and I hope you enjoyed the gathering.
You've actually dreamt about people and then discovered that they were real? Gosh!
And gosh again that you're actually contemplating cooking carrot tzimmes, albeit in four months' time. You are so brave!

I'm waiting for a volunteer if possible for the tzimmes, although if not forthcoming will guarantee to wreck the dumplings at least, I don't even know what's in one besides suet which we can't use anyhow. Denise Phillips has offered to help by email so hopefully will keep the fire service at bay, and hopefully the rubbish collectors as well who usually end up with any attempts I made at cooking.
As far as I know FT made a new quiz category because of me, toilets and toilet paper. There were only a couple before I arrived and created enough to warrant a specific section.
The people and places I've dreamed of have only been found online, one person and quite a few specific locations on world maps. The other people seem real but never actually pinned any but one down, who I saw a very similar woman to at a healing lecture, but as a person she was quite different to the personality in the dream but more or less recognisable as the person. But it tells me the information is all floating around there like radio waves and we pick it up in much the same way. |

I kept those- I didn't investigate too closely but if either have dumplings then I'll stick with that. I can't see any trouble with the carrots and oil etc but dumplings are A level cookery at least.
I discovered something new today, puffed oats. I've had the usual rice and wheat but this is new and nothing at all added so the honey I will will mean no dodgy additions unlike most cereal, even the one which says 'Shredded Wheat' I think which has extras. We managed to get to the farm/garden shop in time after the gym so have restocked with oatcakes (nowhere else I know does the thick ones which don't break as soon as a knife makes contact) and chocolate etc as well as that. The quiz door has opened again thank goodness, one expert win and two crystal balls, although the number of repeat words is getting a bit above what I'd have expected for random. I gain but becomes a bit more of a memory test than a logic one. I have visitors tomorrow night so that's covered, and can basically do whatever I want in the day, including some photos if the light and weather allow it.
That more or less covers everything so far, besides after someone dropping me online yesterday for moaning someone I've known since 1965 has dropped me on Facebook for denying global warming. That's taking divide and rule to its logical conclusion and shows how politics destroys humanity. |

I'm well into my second week uploading photos to Geograph, I couldn't do many at the time as without Streetview I had no way of locating them all exactly but can now catch up for a few year's worth. I did some new pictures locally of the small garden suburb nearby and just really carried on what I was doing when I got back besides a bit of telephone work which is the exception to my work but does happen for a couple who live too far to get here easily. My friends came over last night but the one who stays up was tired so got a reasonable night as the other goes to bed earlier than me. I'm free now and have absolutely no need to do anything tomorrow and if I get anything sorted out then that'll be a bonus.
I've been getting more lectures about joining dating agencies. Trying to be accurate I'd say over maybe three years minimum over the years I ended up with one quick success and one long term and maybe averaged two meetings a week when it was busy and many times more phone calls before reaching that point. I'm not going to pee my time away at 50 plus doing that now, let alone the deadly wastes of an evening going to some godforsaken pub miles away and find a proportion of the women turn the other way when they see me (I think that happened four times as I saw them). It's the machine gun approach of meeting people and requires maybe 1-200 tries for one success and each try takes maybe 1 hour minimum for a phone call to half a day for the first meeting, and then a good few I saw for a week or two before they dumped me before anything happened (can I say that?). Apologies to Joan Rivers but I think she must have been a member here to create that catchphrase. Or she should have been.
The quizzing picked up on Monday, hardly played yesterday due to my visitors, and was pretty busy with photos today so rarely got on. I also talked a friend through burning his first DVD last night and will now have a three minute copy of the film we made in 1976. I must also try and make my first stills from a DVD of a party I went to in April as well. I've seen the other one many times since when I was at his flat but not for years. I think I've covered everything now, remembered tonight the global challenge was back on but as I'm only short of a hard core badge just play normal mode for rating now as that can usually be improved on. It also keeps the speed up on all the quizzes as well.
But if I'm not going back to dating agencies I think I'm more concerned with being on my own long term in the future than right now as I can cope as you do get used to things eventually. The ideal method would be to find a woman equally fed up with dating as I am and just wants a relationship with a person and not an entertainments manager. I'm not taking out my child or grandchild, I'm not going to the fair and avoiding the rides I avoided at their age myself, or queuing for the pantomime or disco, I did all that for decades and although you probably have little choice if you have children there must be some women who are no longer more interested in being entertained and showered with gifts than being with someone for their own sake. Grace now says she's prepared to do so, but sadly that is all she's either prepared to do or capable of. Strike one. |

Little things today, I had it all free and as it rained till after it got dark I was going nowhere. I found more photos to upload (been about 2 weeks now) and when I thought I may be using them up found a heap a mile or two south of me I never remembered to add so back on the map. It does become addictive but glad to have a break now I've filled in most of the gaps. I did discover a carton of fruit juice from last week had a leak when I got home, and walked to the shop and back to get a new one, it's pretty heavy to carry it a mile but good for my fitness. Except the raspberry/blackcurrant version I don't think I've had before was still there so must look for it elsewhere now. Raspberry is one of the best and rarest drinks you can get, in fact I can't even think of the last time I came across it.
The next plans are to start taking photos in as many new areas I can get to to extend the map coverage, but will be difficult until the clocks go forward. I'll look around in case a local speed dating event happens (they cost a bomb which is a damn liberty but wouldn't go more than once) and think about writing an ad as I don't have to meet anyone unless I'm absolutely certain about them any more instead of take anyone who wants to see me as I used to just in case. I don't know the chances of finding a woman who likes staying in and doesn't like all the usual things locally who's also my type and interested in me (if you do a flow diagram you can see the steps and reducing numbers at each one but not impossible) but as I know at least one free site it won't cost me anything. Why any charge when some don't beats me as it relies on people not realising they can do it for nothing, presumably they have other ways of managing while one I used was run like a charity.
Meanwhile scraping the bottom of the news barrel I have a bag of towels from my grandma's which have been put away and considering they are about two feet square are pretty hard to lose but so far I've managed it. I'll check my clothes cupboards next but doubt there was room in the ones I haven't looked in but have to be somewhere. But I can say in 50 years it's the largest item I've ever managed to lose so growing in my carelessness. I presume they'll turn up sooner or later most likely when I'm not looking for them. The rest is either as expected or a mystery as always. |

Time for a bit of philosophy for a change today. The recent theme here has been how much can we change our lives. No one has the whole answer however much they may claim, I believe it's a standard diagonal scale with less and less control the further along you go. The mavens and bigmouths say you can shift the diagram and control a lot more, make wild claims and suggestions and then tell you off when you inevitably fail. True success is the coincidence of your wishes and your results, and the happy say it's their doing when that happens and the sad blame themselves when it doesn't. In fact we never know when this will happen and the best we can do is our bit, the rest is handled outside.
I am always happy to learn more, yet the few people who claim to have it have little or no communication or teaching skills, including the two Hicks channelers, Esther and Jerry, who say indirectly (rather than try and change things by directly moving them around, which most realise can't be done very far) we can change our thoughts so our worlds will reflect them, and feel good whatever happens. Now if we can feel good whatever happens we aren't so bothered about outside, and one teacher I do approve of, Adyashanti, says we can change outside but if we're good inside why bother? As both are such tall orders they make my law degree look like a weekend course I am stumped.
Meanwhile back on the farm I'm into week 3 of uploading photos, I'm hooked and until I run out of places to check it'll keep going, and when complete the days will be longer and I'll take more. I may make a start on the ad as well, and maybe my old free membership will still work- maybe they'll think I'm back on the market again and having another go as some must do and keep their accounts warm just in case. That's where sisters help, besides going out with one ex's sister as she was far more interested in me although physically almost the opposite of the younger version, my friend's younger sisters provided me with a decade of girlfriends. One in fact would have made a darn good one herself but beggars can't be choosers. The other I saw after about 10 years or more at her brother's birthday last year and she looks just the same. We have a lot of history as once she was old enough I'd drive her and her friends around at weekends and we'd all go out dancing and pulling. That was 30 years ago and we had a lot of memories to catch up on.
I will soon return to photos as I have been, I've hardly had the TV on all week besides short spells of cricket just before bedtime as there was nothing worth watching except one I forgot as I had visitors. At least I can join in with the content on this screen so have no reason to feel guilty. I always tell my blog critics (not this blog) I can't write about anything else if I really spent all day on the computer, it just looks like that. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. |

It's been quiet here for a change, certainly on the aggravation side but not on the general quiet side. The week ahead is free which is a good thing, and may fix the car service one or other side of the Wednesday closure. One less chore on the system if I do. The bath towels are a mystery however, they were in a huge bag in the spare room, I cleared it out and put it somewhere. I can't even find my old ones now although may be mixed up in the sheets but the new lot is a huge item to disappear.
Meanwhile I found one of the propaganda sites for global warming on Facebook, and do what I call my intervention work, pointing out in as many ways as I can that they may not actually have the full story. As I'm pretty well immune to abuse by now I'd rather ignore the predictable and incredibly repetitive responses as if they'd been programmed like Indian call centre staff, but if a single one thinks again I've won. Spreading doubts basically. Those birds and fish aren't dying for nothing, and the barium and aluminium salts being sprayed worldwide to make the clouds reflect more (if anyone besides governments did that it would be called terrorism and an act of war) are the likeliest candidate, especially if a new brand just came out. Some faceless wonder at the IPCC just called to an end to world democracy to ensure everyone followed the rules on climate, and you know what, unless people like me and James Inhofe (who some people do listen to) do something about it it will happen. The chances of stopping a machine like the UN once it's started moving are pretty slim but has to be fought until we're all in chains. If anyone else dares to join the mission I'll point you to the Facebook page there.
Once the days get longer I've decided to shift my road sign search, virtually complete now, to adding more photos to the Geograph photo map. I'm listing a few trips to new places and when I can get there and it's still light I will. On my train ticket and photo trips I'm always so absorbed in what I'm doing I only took passengers on the really long trips, otherwise I'm happy to go on my own unless someone already happens to be with me. I'm still finding places I've done already to upload though so that has filled most of the last few weeks which is the sort of job I wish I could be paid for like a few others I've had in the past. I love routine, simple and repetitive. Entering data is ideal, I can listen to the radio, talk, eat and drink and just keep going, but not accounts as you actually have to concentrate 100% or money is lost. That's not routine as the sum can be correct but must tag the right category or the final accounts won't fit. Having to actually think before entering the data (more than locating a photo on Streetview that is) is not simple but was always paid as if it was. At least it's one of the few office jobs you don't need to pass a single exam in to do (I failed one in it actually but that didn't count).
My 1976 video arrived today, it was pretty impressive and although remembered the general scenes didn't remember how long my hair was or how incredibly thin I was. I'll put it on Youtube tomorrow assuming I'm allowed by the other people in it but think it's OK. The rest of the week is a total mystery besides an hour of TV tomorrow (after last week's panorama of effluent it is a big deal), and if I find the magic words to get something interesting to happen I'll post them here. I think I've got more chance of finding my carbon footprint but you never know.

Be careful what you wish for. I've always said I don't want to live alone but also it was better than being with the wrong person. So now my ex is separated and refuses to live with her ex before they sort out new flats she's begging a bed wherever she can. Last night she was here again and rather than another in a row managed to put her off but only by a day till tomorrow. I got a break but can really do without any more. The reason she is an ex and was married to someone else was the same reason I don't welcome too much time listening to a constant drone with little response to replies. If there was a moron or alzheimers channel on the radio you get the general idea. Cruel, moi?
Anyway, I'm on my rest period now, all I did was relax, watch TV and upload more photos, which was quite good enough for me. The visits also include delivery back to where she was before which is around an hour altogether but am dropping her half way tomorrow as going east not north. I did find one more of my grandma's towels (the only one I've washed) but sure I had a bag full of them before I cleared the spare room (lucky I did now considering) and can't really have dreamt it.
So any type of plans have gone out of the window (OK, there weren't any, except Grace would have come tomorrow if #1 hadn't marked her territory, but can hardly say they're fighting over me as she only wanted me to do her paperwork for her which I started). I did get to do more photos on the one dry day yesterday before the rain started (forecast to stop this morning but still going as far as I know 12 hours later) and got a card reader so I could carry it with me and upload photos elsewhere rather than remembering the cable every time which isn't 100% reliable, and the reason I bought it yesterday as I'd left it behind across town. The final result is I'm running out of food, and will need another trip tomorrow or besides the delivery we're getting for dinner won't have a lot left the next day. I'd had enough after all the running around and rain today so will have to wait.
So I have been a little busier than usual, but must learn to refine my requests so the company is actually the sort I was thinking of. Grace is no trouble and could stay (she used to once already as her sister lived in my spare room and spent half the time here as well) so although she isn't interested in me in that way at least is no trouble although the conversation reminds me of when I used to babysit (meow!) but if you can't tell it how it is then who'd ever buy your books? One thing I'm pretty sure about, if anyone ever wrote about me they wouldn't hold back and I wouldn't want them to. As Cromwell said, warts and all. |

Goodness me, at times I wonder if it's worth it, I've launched myself at a Facebook global warming site, as a person without O level maths, against what appears to be a tight cabal of totally certain scientists and supporters. I've mentioned it on a couple of other sites as pretty pointless sharing data with people who already agree. Talk about the lion's den, faced all the usual insults and a few original ones, but if I don't do it then that's one less person with the time and inclination. Unless someone else takes over I'd feel irresponsible to let anywhere sit there and assume they are right as no one can be arsed to challenge them. I've always been arsed to challenge, even when I've been wrong (known after the event of course), as that's what I do. My mother does as well and I won't give up after a collective barrage of insults, after all, it just shows they have a problem not me.
So three hours or so later I removed myself from the final thread and got back to delivering photos online which was incredibly relaxing in contrast. But when I think of the imagined problems in 2100 or so compared to the totally avoidable ones they've caused now I have to believe that if enough people leave the bandwagon eventually it will have to stop rolling. It's deprogramming work and you only get thanked afterwards if you win anyone over. I'm also learning about the enemy, how they work and what they believe, and their weaknesses, mainly introducing environmental politics as part of their 'scientific' presentations which are totally irrelevant to the climate, and confusing pollution and the like with the climate which is the most fundamental of errors.
If I get any more thanks than the regular messages from supporters who either don't have the research and time to make it, or guts to get in there themselves I'll be delighted. But you need to make a friend of your opponent as unless you're completely potty you will always have a group of people who support you, but far too small to make a difference alone. But it is a bit disappointing when a few science people I know there leave me to it despite having relevant qualifications and carry on complaining how politicians are wrecking society.
Other than that it's business as usual, my photo trip was in a small gap between the rain but as possibly the second ever visit after about 30 years ago to the other half of the local country park (I take the bike usually but this part is further around the block so hadn't thought to go before now), and had no paths but grass and two inches of water over it all. One shoe leaked and I came home with mud virtually up to my knees. Nothing new there I hear. So it's been a busy week and more plans for tomorrow so can't be accused (not here of course) of living my life on the internet. |

Although it had its moments, I can see now how living alone can't always be so bad when you haven't got someone to run around after. Not everyone by any means becomes a responsibility but when they do it's a relief to get your freedom back. It's also rained much of the time since then, but saw my old friend's cousin from America for about the second time last night while she was on her annual visit to London. I tried to get her on here as well as she plays a lot of the TV quizzes while watching as well, but said she used the internet for work so wanted a break when she'd finished. I do my best but in nearly 11 years never got anyone here for more than a few visits to do me a favour. One got hooked on the live games and DMs (the messages) so they stopped the live games and he gave up. He'd never post in the public areas though for some reason.
I can relax now, the plan is to take photos not taken yet for my national coverage map. Everywhere is equal to them, so rather than choose the scenic areas just wants as much covered as possible. Where I'll randomly end up when the clocks go forward remains to be seen, Croxley is the only one planned as it's near where I went before and an easy run, and maybe round Denham and Harefield (one place I've never been in London as there's nothing anywhere near it). I'll see Grace next week and finally read the letter in reply to the one I sent for her and hope it's a positive result. Because she basically has entered the world like one of the crashed aliens from space and learning it anew due to her long history of mental problems, she can't handle any official rules so breaks them from time to time or gets things stolen and needs someone to sort it out, namely myself. Again another position of babysitter to two women little younger than me and who actually went to the same school but different years as born either side of the September 1965 divide so didn't really know each other.
The ex may arrive for another night as well but will say that is the end and has to find somewhere long term again after being kicked out of her other friend's after a couple of years. Maybe if I ask her to make dinner that'll have the same effect as in 18 years I don't think she ever did for her own husband. Then the two jobs held off as I was busy with her last week, if the car can get serviced all the better. My eyes are fine whatever they want me to do so can leave that till I'm doing nothing else. |

Good luck getting the ex to accept your rules.
Of course, she might try to cook a meal - how good would that be?

Believe it or not you've finally found someone I can cook better than. It's like babysitting. One more night (she wants two) and that's it as she now has nowhere left to go except her own flat. I have my own life and she does not enhance it.
So besides that tomorrow it's business as usual, although I have paused my global warming work simply as once I realised I could only teach by going on their own sites a couple of weeks on one of the most patronising and sickly operations on the planet simply showed me they aren't interested in any opposing views, I threw everything I could at them and was just dismissed without any comment. I'll let the big guns take over if any ever will now.
I've checked and have uploaded for about 8 hours a day since Christmas Eve, 41 photos average and total just over 1000. Each must be located exactly for the records which can take 15 minutes for some on long featureless roads, which means sometimes 4 added an hour reduces the total altogether, but that green map is getting more red dots by the day and I'm an obsessive collector.
I've got a few places pencilled in for new photos when the clocks go forward, but no road signs yet to go with them. I saw one on Streetview yesterday (luckily one I had already but in far better condition) on a corner I'd taken already in the other direction and went straight there to check to confirm it had gone in the short time after Streetviewed and my arrival. That was there for around 50-60 years and removed months after they took the films.
I hope to sort out Grace's letter early in the week as put her off last week, and hopefully will be allowed my freedom afterwards to get any other jobs done. It broke up the week last week but not something I'd want to continue beyond. |

I've no idea if it'll happen but the ex is due to return to her flat after two years this week (before the divorce ahead) as she simply has nowhere else left, ie including here. I dropped her off this evening and spent the rest of the time catching up online after the TV, (although I do when she's here I can concentrate on quizzes and chats as well as uploading photos and the crystal ball when she's here) and not only did the graduating here at last (turns out the number's grown and I could have done weeks ago had I realised it's now two left to qualify rather than one) but got the badgelet and a couple of crystal balls as well today. I did enter as many correct words a second too late last week as I got correct (5) and did tonight as well once, but the hard words are a challenge while the obvious ones become a race- pio- can only be piousness as the others had already been tried, so can't be condemned (by myself) for a fraction of a second of typing or computer speed.
I am free now anyway, no plans as yet (anything will do as I please it) but hope Grace can see me tomorrow as her letter is pretty important. I've got a list of places to take photos now based on the coverage site rather than the 'interesting' one, so boring suburban roads and buildings will be added simply as a record rather than picking the nicer ones. But not till the days get longer. I'm still tying up the loose ends on the global warming site but not adding any new comments besides a few which I'd feel would be wasted if not shared as I still get their feed. The latest absolutely typical example is some (insert insult word here) who says 'Doubling CO2 will cause a 3C rise as the sea will warm and release the warmth'. The paper rise (as they don't know the real result in the atmosphere as it hasn't happened before) is 1C, so although the IPCC reckon with unknown feedback the range is 0.5-6C, with the likelihood reducing at the margins as usual, so this wiseacre genuinely gets paid and believed for guessing the future in an open system based on the chaos effect? This is why I had to fight the tide of lunacy, the policies in place already have caused more hardship than even the worst case 6C IPCC scenario and they've only just begun with rationing and worse ahead. I've seen the closed mindedness there and given up as a result, but truth and logic can't be overlooked as they are always waiting to be discovered, and although we won't be alive to see the actual result in 2100 my prediction of 'who the heck knows' is guaranteed to be better than the latest crook running away with our money for being cleverer than his mates. I'd give him a prize, gold handcuffs for his day in court. |

Well, the freedom is being used, unlike many people but very much like others it reminds me of when I've lost some of my jobs, it was like an endless school holiday. I'd always rather have the time than the money given the choice, unless I'm earning it doing something I actually like.
I did a tour of a long road in Cricklewood just to catch the last remaining light today, and then finally got the zero badge in the global impossible after a series of 1s. I've never had to deliberately avoid right answers before and won't have to again unless something new is created. It was mainly as I knew more than usual I did it today as could just kick out the ones which were definitely right, which is actually the same as getting them right for a positive score. I then finally wiped the DVD for another go, although for reasons unknown the burner refuses to copy to a DVD with space on it although at least they cost very little to get more. I then recorded my latest song, I had four goes and still made mistakes, partly as the words were very complex and partly the print was too faint to read properly. I hope I got away with it though. I must return to M&S in the next few days before the food runs out, I got another voucher for Christmas so decent food for another month or two. And as fully expected the arrogant horse's backsides over at the climate propaganda site totally dismissed my unquestionable claim their new prediction a doubling of CO2 would cause a 3C temperature rise as both impossible to know as we'll all be dead, and impossible to guess as the climate is so complex, admitted by many on their own side, yet when some chancer uses a better gambling program to fix a specific figure they all start er, getting highly excited. The fact it is impossible to make predictions in what I believe to be called an open system, if not a chaotic one, is beyond every one of them. I have simply proved I am dealing with machines with absolutely outstanding technical ability, like a computer, and no actual sense, like a computer. When they said computers would become intelligent like people I doubted it, and now quite clear the people are becoming mechanical like their computers instead. I said I would avoid them but that study was such a gift I can only hope some of the majority of people who don't comment actually realise I'm right. I don't tend to stick my neck out after a life of overenthusiasm, so try and wait till I'm pretty sure I know something before standing up to the big boys in the playground. They talk and act big but had I not been at Funtrivia would have said something about they're not so big in places you can't see. Hopefully by giving such totally certain answers, using science rather than knowledge from their own minds, they will be exposed for others to see that if the sums add up the logic doesn't matter. I may not be a scientist but every single person is qualified to use logic and in a fight with any other discipline it always wins. |

I will add today's philosophical problem early as the last few nights I've been adding photos and replying to global warming threads well into the next day, so any earlier activity will remove some time from the delay for bedtime.
Much as I am relieved to have the place back to myself (I want company but has to be the right person) I had little else to do with the time when it came. I've more or less completed the photo uploading now, about 1100 in 4 weeks, each located exactly on the map, and will return to Streetviewing the remaining places for old road signs, although the last one I saw had already gone. That will mop up plenty of time anyway, and otherwise I have been reading about intuition and will give a quick summary here.
My satguru name refers to the higher self we all have, and intuition is the communication evidence it gives. For instance David here isn't a scientist and has to search for heaps of their work on global warming without even being able to interpret much of it. But satguru up there tells me it is wrong, and then the more I look for evidence the more I find wrong, and others saying exactly the same thing. I have been using it all my life, and once you see the many times you've knows such a lot of things before you should have you realise there's a pool of all knowledge out there which you tap into.
People call me all sorts of names elsewhere as because I am aware of the satguru I have no doubts, as it knows far more than me or you, and is the source of much improvement and innovation. But we can't demonstrate it for people as the evidence people require wouldn't need the intuition if we knew for sure already. Aliens, conspiracies, bad people, etc, all seem intuitively certain but you look crazy or worse saying so without evidence, although in the past when we knew many did become the case afterwards. But nobody remembers predictions, right or wrong, and continue to make the same mistakes and doubt others who can only use their intuition to communicate as up to now no one that counts believes it exists.
I've said this before but makes the point, the mystery word here is random (although some like turnverein and chamfer seem to appear far more than they would normally) and the number of times I've felt the right one is millions beyond chance, and have the wins to prove it although they represent about a third of the times I've known but others got there first. That's beyond even intuition as until it's guessed it doesn't actually exist in the present, so it has to curve round time as well. If anyone saw the BBC programme about reality on Monday they are finding the same things, with parallel universes and a fourth dimension meaning our three are a hologram which can be seen from outside the third in a fourth.
Besides frustration in seeing people make mistakes and cause trouble and unable to get through to them my intuition hasn't actually helped me a lot yet, as I am no different to someone watching the TV and knowing what's going to happen next but can't tell them to avoid it. I can tell people here but may as well be talking to the TV. Next I want to see it used in a constructive way. I have of course avoided some really awful people I spotted in seconds, where others had stayed with them and one lost his whole business and reputation for a while as a result. What if you can see something coming but can't prove why? No one takes any notice and then unless it's within a day or two forgets you told them when it proves to be correct. I expect I've been given all this material to see my intuition and learn how to use it, as till now it's just been a loose cannon, telling me things I could use myself but impossible to communicate to others. And usually in a passive way so if I don't know something I can't just ask it. It seems very selective and only chooses to tell me a few specific things and no others. But when it gets them right it sure does. |
