  Safari Browsing

  by AK - Jeff in

  though it works terribly with jwd, i have found this browser to be much faster and nimble than most i have tried.

  it's problems here on jwd have always forced me to avoid it, since jwd was a big part of my internet experience.

  now that i am growing away from things jw related, and know that jwd will not be open that much longer, i have tried it again.

  Absolutely right Jeff!
  
  This new Mac OS X with Safari is terrible to use on JWD but it is good with most other applications. I get a lot of e-mails that use Windows (WMV) and I finally learned that I could see them by downloading Flip4Mac.

  i've always wanted to get some breadboards and build some circuits, but have never learned anything past basic house type wiring.

  are there any kits that you would recommned, preferablly cheap?

  i'd like to learn the principles of capacitors and transistors and fm/am radios and such.

  Everyone here said it all!
  
  Electronics is a fascinating hobby. I started out building a lot of Heathkit items. Back in 1979 I built a complete "ham" radio station with accessories. The only Heathkit I had problems with was the 2 meter rig they had at the time. Can't remember which model it was!
  
  Talked all over the world with that radio. The HW-101 and all with a dipole antenna. I've gone through a few radios since then.
  
  This week I had to dismantle my station since I'm moving the first week of December.

  At least Obama gives the semblance of hope. Something that America hasn't had in 8 years.
  
  I wish the man well and will support him as my president.
  
  Unless he screws up and becomes the Democratic G.W.B. ..........which I doubt.

  Even though the Left Behind series was total fiction..........the Obama parallel universe seems to mimic Nicolai Carpathia.
  
  Hmmmmmmmm........could it be?
  
  Nahhhhhhhh!

  Would You Rather Be Married or Single?

  Married!
  
  Preferably to the same woman who I said "I do" to in 1969.
  
  Unfortunately, she died at age 46 in 1996.
  
  If I couldn't have her, then I'd want someone that is my complete soulmate and someone who gives me breathing room just as I would give her.
  
  I've been alone for over 12 years........dated my share of nice ladies........none of whom I would want to spend the rest of my life with..........other than the one I met in 2004 (it didn't work out) I think the blame could be 50/50 on that one. It happened too fast. She is a wonderful woman though!
  
  I'm getting older and permanent companionship would be really great at this point. Looks and body aren't as important as they once were. It's the mind and heart that matters.

  This is one of the funniest "truths" I've read in a long time.
  
  I'm laughing my arse off about this.

  Make Your Prediction:The Next President---- McCain or Obama???

  After waffling over this for quite a while, I voted McCain/Palin. But I really think Obama is going to take the election. Why? Because everyone wants the EASIER, SOFTER way. Too many want a handout and have no interest in personal responsibility and putting forth an effort to make their own way in life.
  
  The lazy asses want what I and others have worked so hard for without expending themselves. Obama'a idea of sharing the wealth!
  
  It will take at least a year or more to see the outcome of his presidency, but it will probably be the worst thing that has ever happened to America. And then those on JWD who are supporting him now will come here (if JWD is still open) and cry about the mistake they made. Happens all the time in politics!
  
  Seems the WT is and always has been right about the promises of politicians. LIES, LIES, LIES!
  
  If anyone on JWD likes to keep abreast of these things by keeping a record of happenings..........then do so now.
  
  What I really want to see is the weeping and gnashing of teeth by those who are Obama cultists when they realize that he was not nor ever has been what he has been selling the weak minded followers all along. Beksbks, Dawg, Six-o-nine or whatever his handle is, who have belittled and condemned those with Republican leanings, and others for the most part. Do you guys have jobs, or are you getting free checks from the hard earned taxes of the working class?
  
  On the other hand.......if I am wrong........I will buy dinner (a $1.00 McDonalds double cheeseburger and fries for anyone visiting Pittsburgh). Hey....at least I'm earning what I have and if I like you, I'll buy a prime rib dinner.

  All this kind of protest does is make the JW's think that they are more righteous than ever......the devil is just fighting the Truf.....
  
  Whoever this guy is just made an ass of himself and he doesn't have enough sense to know it!
  
  Even I......as an XJW and considered an apostate would not give him the time of day.
  
  Rick.....I thought you had more smarts than to post something as asinine as this. Guess not! You sort of thrive on the kind of shite like this......stuff that makes the loyal JW look at us as deranged because we left the borg. You will never make it as a televangelist.
