Subject: RE : How about some GOOD BS? From: Donuel Date: 11 Oct 17 - 01:14 PM When dealing with orbital dynamics the width of a moving object needs to be measured over time of encounter and has a much greater virtual width while actual width will not change. Otherwise i.e. you would bump into a lot more fat people in the train station. If you have all speed mass and heading measurements exact you could just use calculus while ignoring gravity and time corrections which is close enough for jazz. Too bad the asteroid will miss, its made of solid gold. |

Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: Steve Shaw Date: 11 Oct 17 - 06:42 PM Trinidad and Tobago (where my daughter lived for two years) beat the USA 2-1 in the World Cup qualifier, which means that the USA are out and we won’t have to focus on vengeance for 1950. That’s good news! |

Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: Steve Shaw Date: 12 Oct 17 - 06:05 PM Hey, Donuel, Trinidad and Tobago beat the USA in spite of the fact that Trinidad and Tobago have no big football money and have the same population as Maine. Go bloody figure! |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: olddude Date: 12 Oct 17 - 10:46 PM Because they came to play, our us team looked like they were just thinking about the next round and did not take them serious.. Well guess what now they can watch from home |

Great that you're lovin' your new zook. The more bouzoukis the better in my very biased opinion ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: gillymor Date: 13 Oct 17 - 05:17 AM I admire that kind of biased thinking, Stu, but then I'm kind of biased in that direction myself. |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: saulgoldie Date: 13 Oct 17 - 08:15 PM The water trickling, then streaming out of the yard was on my side of the water service instead of the water company's side. So I "got" to pay for the repairs. No new car this year. Or next. Or the year after that. It was quite an adventure. Learnt a lot about construction practices over the decades including but not limited to materials, work ethic, and building codes. The good news? It was an adventure. No one died. No one went to jail. No houses were burned, flooded, blown away. So the good news is that I won't need any service pipe again for 40 years, by which time, WFC?, cause I'll likely be somewhere other than in this life. And that pork chop for dinner was the best! So yeah, good news! |

Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: Steve Shaw Date: 13 Oct 17 - 08:47 PM I've caught seven mice in my humane traps in the outhouse this week. Or did I catch the same mouse seven times. I only found out today that mice home and that I should be letting them go at least two miles from the house. It's been 300 yards up to now. Things are going to change. I cannot be beaten by a mouse or two/three/four/five/six/seven... |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: punkfolkrocker Date: 13 Oct 17 - 11:34 PM Next time you take the mouse out for a ride down the road, blind fold it and play loud music to disorientate it's sense of direction... You could also tie it up and take incriminating photos posing it with a toy mouse dressed in dominatrix costume. Then threaten to make the photos public it comes anywhere near your property again... might work..... |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 13 Oct 17 - 11:41 PM The good news? I found a coupon and ended up paying about 2/5 of what I paid last time I had to have the plumber over to roto-rooter the sewer line. The rest of the news isn't good or bad - it can wait a while before I do anything more. |

Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: Mr Red Date: 14 Oct 17 - 12:32 PM when eating wild mushrooms leave some for the doctor to analyse. If the doctor isn't called - you will have mushroom for more! I knew a lass who like her magic mushrooms. She suffered depression. (not an unknown correleation) And in fact it killed her in the end, she went to the pub for a glass of cheer and wandered home to husband & kid across a main road. And that was that. |

Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: Donuel Date: 14 Oct 17 - 02:36 PM When it comes to deadly mushrooms no doctor can help. The white angel will give you 2 weeks of normality then you don't wake up again because your organs suddenly liquefied in 2 hours. no cure The good news is we don't eat wild white mushrooms. more good news - Donald trump knows nothing about Wouten Bason. unless Bannon told him. |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: olddude Date: 14 Oct 17 - 03:05 PM Good news, trump met with the president of the us virgin Islands... Lol what an idiot I guess there are two trumps.. Someone tell him he is the president of the virgin Islands |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: Donuel Date: 16 Oct 17 - 09:16 AM I'll tell em but he won't listen, besides it helps make him look like the folks of PR and the Virgin Islands are not Americans. In the highlands of Scotland a family lost control of their canoe and it floated away. The Police relayed their distress call to the nearest people in the area and contacted the steam train Hogwarts Express to stop and pick up the family. Despite a risk of dementers in the area the family was happily rescued. |

From: lefthanded guitar Date: 19 Oct 17 - 01:46 AM Good news would be if this posts; I spent 20 minutes an hour ago, writing my favorite songs/ diff. version, listed about 10 songs ........ And my post wouldn't t post. Other good news. Dave Letterman on Kimmel last night reminded his fans (like me) just how funny he was. He told a story, hilarious and wry, of how Conan O Brian didn t appreciate the gift from Dave- a horse. Lmao. Also, I went to Central Park yesterday to relax jand as I sat in the lovely alley of trees in the nature conservancy, a hermit thrush plopped down on the fence post right before me Never saw one before (I had to look it up)- I got a pic and listened to its haunting bittersweet call. Like a train song by old Hank. Lovely day too; clear and mild. |
Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: leeneia Date: 19 Oct 17 - 11:56 AM Congratulations on the hermit thrush. That is amazing! I have encountered the hermit thrush only two times in my life, and I never saw it, only heard its beautiful call. |

Lol what an idiot I guess there are two trumps.. Someone tell him he is the president of the virgin Islands I know some people like to emphasise the ignorance of the US president. But if you must point out his ignorance, at least do a fact check first. Donald Trump is only president of some of the Virgin Islands. |

Subject: RE: BS: How about some good news? From: keberoxu Date: 28 Nov 17 - 04:45 PM Sorry if this is something that I have already absent-mindedly posted, I don't recall -- but there was an inspiring demonstration of how the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, which controlled nicely the overpopulation of deer and such, turned the whole ecosystem of Yellowstone around and actually allowed things to come back -- good things -- that the deer had kind of overeaten or trampled or something. |
