  i was always around pioneering and pioneers as a kid. someone in my family pioneered and i always went along. so as soon as i could i "vacation-pioneered" every summer - some friends also vacation-pioneered. (i gather they now call it auxiliary pioneering -- ah yes, another brilliant terminology refinement).

  after h.s. i worked for a while, then found a way to pioneer full-time and work parttime. this continued for several years; when i married my first husband we pioneered together - he aspired to be co.

  i remember the day when he confessed his hatred for service - it was like he had a moment of clarity and honesty - shocking everyone he told. then it seemed that permission was given to open up and level and one by one so many of us got honest and said how much we hated going out in service.

  funny cide....he is a stud...too bad he cannot put all of his energy into earning millions for his owners as a stud....poor horsey--he got the short end!.

  funny cide turns preakness into a laugher by richard rosenblatt, the associated pressbaltimore funny cide showed a serious side saturday, barreling down the stretch for a runaway victory in the preakness on saturday and setting the stage for a triple crown try in the belmont stakes in three weeks.

  it was the second remarkable win in a row for the new york-bred chestnut gelding, journeyman trainer barclay tagg and an ownership group of high school pals who kicked in $5,000 apiece to start sackatoga stable.

  i just got out of the hospital, and have some news on my heart condition.

  i have apparently had hypertension for some time and it had caused a slight thickening of my heart.

  it makes the heart stiff and causes it to work harder.

  wednesday, my thoughts are with you.

  a book you should get is "the relaxation response" by herbert benson, md. it gives simple meditation techniques which can really help to lower blood pressure. can also help with the type a personality.

  best wishes and please take care of yourself.

  on another forum, a discussion has centered on the belief (or lack thereof) in the existence of god.

  a believer, zechariah, i thought offered a pretty good argument as to why it makes sense to believe.

  when asked the question where did god come from, zechariah said

  definitely non-smoker.

  even won a lawsuit over the issue with a hospital which permitted their trustees to smoke in non-designated areas.

  in one of my jobs i have to handle a lot of cash at times - i can even smell it on the money. eeuw.

  simon & angharad work very hard to keep this site up, & all of us get so much out of it, that i suggest we dig deep.

  simon does'nt have to do it for free, you can donate, & w/ as much as we save from not putting $$$ in the friggerty contribution box, i suggest we all put in at least a dollar a month.

  it seems to me that there is inherent intelligence in the universe far beyond what our puny minds can comprehend. -- witness all of your very profound questions and conjecture.

  was that intelligence always there or did it come from nothing? can you understand either answer?
