Ummm...NO!!! :heh:

several years ago as i was leaving a local grocery store a person who knew me motioned me over to where a lady was having trouble starting her car .. the person stated that i was once a mechanic and perhaps could help with this issue ,,i had heard them trying to start the vehicle and recognized the clicking sound of a bad battery connection so i casually walked over and put both hands on the positive and negative battery terminals and felt that the negative was warm from a loose connection ,, i inconspicuously ( spell that off the top of your head ) twisted the ground cable to tighten it up a bit and at the same time said " HEALED " and shut the hood .. i walked away and heard the car fire up but i was on my way by then .. anywho another similar situation occurred recently as my neighbor could not get her riding mower to start .. she called me .. i pulled the little lever on the back to put it out of gear and pushed it up to my shop and cleaned the carb bowl and got it going .. i pushed it back to her garage and forgot about it .. a couple of days later she calls me saying her mower runs now but it will not move in any gear .. i say i will be there in a minute .. as i walk up to it i remember that i had not pushed the gear engage lever back in so as i was looking at it i took my foot and pushed the lever in and put my hands on the steering wheel and again said " HEALED " and just walked away ,, whether you baffle them with brilliance or befuddle them with bullcrap leave them wondering ...

Both of my father-in-law's vehicles currently won't start can you heal from a distance? :heh:

sorry .. it does require the laying on of the hands .

:rofl2:

I can hear my knees barking just thinking about that spiral hellcase!!!

most things suck when you`re old .. you`re born with very little hair and no teeth and you die with very little hair and no teeth ..

Fixed! :yup:

yeah .. forgot about that ..

Maybe for a weekend get away, but for a permanent house. Not for me.

proud of myself i am .. i have always been interested in the civil war .. in the early 70`s i subscribed to the magazine the civil war times .. even went to a couple of battle fields .. went to Shiloh in 74 .. went to Chattanooga in 75 .. not knowing that 40 years later i would find out the significance of my desire to go there .. Bought a volume of collector edition books on the subject which i later donated to the local library ..i guess in my brief married life i lost interest in the matter then in 1990 or so the Ken Burns series about the civil war came out and reignited my interest .. subsequently i joined a couple of newly formed charitable organizations dedicated to purchasing and preserving civil war battlefields .. soon after those two separate entities joined forces to become The Civil War Trust .. i v`e been getting Quarterly news letters for 30 years and once in a while my name would be in the section about those who give a little extra .. recently they informed me that my name and several others will be going on a monument in Washington DC dedicated to the " steadfast " members as i am known ..i am even invited to the dedication yet i will not go .. but anyhow more about Shiloh and Chattanooga .. when i finally got some information on my family trees it turns out that my great grandfather on my moms side spent a portion of the war in a northern prison camp in Chattanooga .. after the war he moved to Texas and died of a rattlesnake bite .. when i found out some of the family history on my fathers side i learned that many many related moons had fought in that war and several were killed at Shiloh .. there is a cemetery not very far from me that bears my family name and several tombstones of cousins that died at Shiloh in 1862 .. a while back the Civil War Trust expanded to include the revolutionary war and the war of 1812 and became the American Battlefield Trust .. ..turns out i have more family members in those wars than i can count .. and on both sides

Awesome story and news! You owe it to yourself to do the Gettysburg tour sometime here in PA it is truly an amazing experience!!! :yup:

a friend of mine went there about 20 years ago .. she knew i was a civil war nut and she brought me a hand full of dirt from there .. ( not legal to do i mite add ) .. i have a few bullets and coins from the era that i keep mixed in with the dirt .. brings an intense feeling of awe every time i get them out and know that someone from that time had these items .

wonderful and successful launch today .. very proud i am .. i had a part in every space shuttle that flew ..i had no part in this one though

i need a hair cut badly .. quite wooley i am .. i walk up to my hair cutting place and the first thing i notice is a big sign that reads " we will not cut your hair unless you are wearing a mask " .. my usual hair cut includes a beard trim .. a beard i have had for 45 years .. how do you trim a beard while i am wearing a face mask ?...if they have masks on then they are protected from me .. i dont worry about being protected from them ...

Cut your own hair problem solved! I've been doing it for years now. :yup:

Because they can pollute the surrounding waters with contaminates and not be held accountable...:heh:
