Man on the moon 40th Anniversary ...

The very first to step on the moon was Neil Armstrong, with the very famous words of “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”.
The next to step onto the moon was Buzz Aldrin, who described it as “magnificent desolation”.
They spent 21 hours on the moon, and having a kip as well.

This was 20th July 1969.

Who would not want a kip that is one hell of a feat, must take it out of you, I know it would me, the adrenalin rush would have been amazing, no wonder they were tired lol

I remember watching this while in school, it was the most world wide amazing thing to happen in human history.
My school had big TV’s set in 4 different classrooms so we could all watch this making of history.
I have never forgotten that day, even though I was only 3 …. *cough*

Imagine my surprise yesterday that it was the 40th anniversary!! OMG where has the time gone? There is other trivia I could spout at you as far as missions to the moon go, there has been 10 men since then to go to the moon and no women, but none have landed. The last to walk the moon was 1972.

Lots of things have been sent to the moon and probes landed, but no man has walked for 37 years.

And you know, since then think about it, most of us have children, they have grown up with this as a ‘thing that happened’, in history, you know I never have thought to ask my son what he thinks about it, why don’t you ask your children and please let me know, I think that would be interesting.

How much do your children know about all this??

They have said no life would be sustainable on the moon, for varies reasons, gravity being one, unless you have really ton heavy feet you would not be able to stay there lol

Out of all this, I am wondering why have there not been more of us on the moon? In all these years our technology has gone soo far its unbelievable, so why have there not been dozens more people walking the moon? Why have they not built a small manned station there yet?
They say that the USA have got big plans for this, the probes they have there, are for this very reason.
And Russians want to put people on there by 2025 .. ..
But why have they waited all these years, for another man or woman to actually walk the moon?

My theory on this …. Because they did encounter life, oh yes, old Neil and Buzz were told not to come back, and have they been back there?? Noooo

But did we take any notice? Nooo!!!

Even though we sent another mission in 1972, and the life forms then gave them an ultimatum, if we came back again there would be trouble!!

This is why, they must have given them people, something really to think about a? for us to take a big large jump back.
I also think that the reason why we cannot go back is because, the life forms saw how we treated our planet, WHAAT … do you not think they cannot see for themselves what we people are like?

They can see it with the naked eye … the freaking space junk that has gradually got worse over the years around our OWN planet!! And until we can clear up our own mess we are not allowed back to the moon lol and I don’t blame them little life forms, who I call ‘lefs’ *cough*
Why should we go and plant our rubbish on the moon where they live lol cos lets face it, once we get there again, we will leave it behind, cos it would take too much fuel to bring it back. Iots of it, all over the place, our rubbish!!

So before anyone can go back to the moon we have to find a way to clean up our act …..

Yeah … right … Good luck on that one!! Lol

CCTV UK

Let this be explained first, as there are some of you that will not know what the heck I am going on about, the following information was supplied by Lori, who I was talking to about this yesterday, she lives in the USA so really did not have a clue of what I was talking about so I explained, then, I said go look it up, this is what she came back with ….

Good morning! Well, I looked up closed circuit TV on the computer. I learned a lot I didn't know. I found out that it is much more common in the UK, where there are more cameras per person than in any other country in the world! Approximately one camera for every 14 people! It is much less common in the US. Mostly found in New York and Chicago.
I also read that a 2008 report by UK police chiefs concluded that only 3% of crimes were solved by CCTV.
When we watch a show on TV though, it is broadcast television.

I did my homework for the day.

p.s. Don't pick your nose. Someone is watching!! LOL

end of email --------------------------------------

WHAAT!! I have been caught picking my nose??? Pft I must remember to close my curtains or better still face a wall next time.

See how scary is that? And believe me you can now zoom into peoples front rooms so I have heard, as there was a divorce case not too long ago here, where the wife followed the husband by ‘Google earth’ and actually caught him in the act lol

Beware all you cheating spouses out there!! Hahahaa

that’s not all, now I belong to a new website called ‘RL connect’ something like that, because it was a new site i joined to see what it was all about, then quickly realised that is a real life interaction with other members who know exactly where everyone is!! Yes I had to quickly divert myself from where i was to the middle of a bridge in London lol
How scary is that!!
Well now I received an email from them saying, to upload a photo of me so that if I am out and about others from the site will be able to recognise me and say hello …. WHAAAT!! Do I look stooped? Well no you don’t know how I look cos I would never upload a photo of myself so that some nutter can come up to me and say ….

Stranger ~ ‘Hiya Tatty!!’
Me ~ (with dumbstruck look on my face cos I am trying to remember where i know this person from) ‘wow hello, how are you?’
Stranger ~ ‘ am good thanks so nice to see you, I did not know you lived here?’
Me ~ ‘yes for some time … what are you doing here? ‘ (now I am really struggling to think where and when I last saw this person, could have been in Turkey, I did live there, I came across hundreds of people, so …)
Stranger ~ ‘I was visiting family, but you look nothing like your picture, you are really lovely, the photo does not do you justice!’
Me ~ (now I am thinking I don’t know this person, so where did they see my picture? ) ‘ errmm where did you see the photo of me? I am confused, and that’s not hard to do sometimes lol’
Stranger ~ ‘RL connect!!’

Well, see what I mean!! not only is it dangerous, it is confusing, who wants strangers coming up to them in the street? I don’t!!
Oh by the way, the photo not doing me justice part, I was joking there ya know, thought I would just slip that one in, praise myself up a tad lol

Do you get what I am saying now, about these cameras all over the place, now here in the UK, they are saying its for our own protection, and for the crime blah blah … yeah , yeah carry on, I am not convinced, and look at the stats that Lori has provided there, not doing so good is it? the crime busting thingy!

There are a hundred reasons some people could give as to why these cameras are for our own good, stranger danger, comes to mind, and that is from when I was small! You could never convince me that these in the numbers they are, are for our own good, there must be another reason that there are soo many!!

My theory on that?

Is this …. PERVERTS yes think about it ….

And this is mainly for the men here, which one of you could resist the opportunity to look at something that you are really not supposed to? Lol

Come on hands up!! We all know which part of the anatomy rules your head, I have a very funny joke I tell on that one, want to hear it? Here goes ….

The Lonely brain cell …
There was once a female brain cell, who found herself in a mans brain, a dark empty place, she could not remember how she got there, but she needed to find someone quick.
‘hellooo .. ‘ she whispered …. No answer!
She wandered around a bit more, and was now really getting scared as it was dark and lonely, so she called out again a d bit louder ….
‘helloooo ‘ she said … still no answer!
Now she was really frightened!! All on her lonesome, she shouted this time at the top of her voice ….
‘HELLOOOOO IS ANYBODY HEREEEEE!’

And a little voice far far away said back …

‘we’re down here …’

Think about it ……. There! Lol hahahaa says it all don’t it!

So if you live in the UK even if you are in your own home, think about what you do in front of the windows, you could have an audience!!

Grumpy~ness ...

And is it a ‘mature’ thing?

When I say mature, yes I mean as an age thing, and yes Lori, I remembered the conversation we had about this …. Eventually! Must be the age lol

See the reason I am now thinking about this is because, poppy thought I was younger than she thought, in my 20’s in fact lol!!! Yeeess wish I was sweetie but alas no, not true.

Now poppy thought this because of the way I speak, so to speak, you know, online to her, as I do not know her in RL (real life) she is a very nice cyber friend, as with a lot of cyber friends I have, I have been blessed that I have met these people online, because they are really nice people.
Back to where I was … I am soo easily distracted hehehe yes poppy was thinking I was younger, so when I told her how old I was *cough* she was surprised.
It is true a lot of people think I am younger cos of the way I talk, not silly talk, but funny I suppose, but I have been this way all my life so why would I be different now I am ‘slightly’ older? And I mean think different? Why do, oh dear I need to give the shovel a rest cos of what I am going to say next … why do ‘younger’ people think that us people a year or two ahead (yes that’s better) of them in age, think that we should act and behave in a different way? This baffles me.

Take my dad for instance, now he is a grumpy old man, and everyone knows this, including himself lol he freely admits it, you name it he will moan about it, I think I might have mentioned this before about him, somewhere, he hates Christmas, with a vengence, but see, I agree with him Haahah I am not really a big fan of it, so is this because of an age thing? Or just that his views of Christmas have rubbed off on me? I don’t know, but it must be the later cos I am not grumpy at the moment, well maybe I am in one thing, but I have been like that all my life and I have always openly admitted it, bet your wondering now what it is a? hehehe
It is that I am seriously no good in the mornings, really, I hate mornings! I will give you a snippet of something that happened one morning some years ago ….
A neighbour of mine, because her husband was away stayed at her mothers one night, now she knew about my ‘morning anger’ problem.
Anyhoo I was in bed one morning, fast asleep, when at 7.30 am the phone starts ringing beside me, so I picked it up and said hello, well that sounds polite when I put it that way, but I have a way of saying hello when I get woken up …. But the phone went dead!! So I thought no more of it and turned over, thinking not pleasant thoughts of the person that called me at the hour of the night … look I do not know there is two 8 o’clock in the day ok!
Anyway, the next day, I am at my neighbours house, having a chat, and she asks did I get a phone call early yesterday morning that went dead, I looked at her puzzled and said I had, and how did she know, this is what she said …
Cos she was at her mothers, she had to call home to see of her husband had got home after his work trip, but, she called my number accidently, she realised who it was when I answered and she put the phone down, her mother asked her what was wrong, because of the look on her face, and she said to her mother ….
“yes I had to put the phone down, cos I accidently rang Tatty’s number, and I really did not want to be verbally abused at this time of morning, cos she is not a morning person, and she scares me cos of the stories she has told me about it”

OH MY GOD!!! Lol when she told me I spluttered my cup of tea I can tell you …. Hehe

So that aside … we all know of grumpy people, and probably do know one, but how old is that person? And has that person been like that all their life? Or since they got older.

Well my theory is …

…. NO it is not an age thing, they have always been like that simmering with it, until they get older, so they can use age, as an excuse for being grumpy!!

Think about it ….. Why would people get grumpy when they are older? Do they wake up one morning and think, that’s it, I will be a grumpy old person from today onwards? They must do!

See now older people that do this, have caused me problems!! Cos now I get told by some people that I must act my age!! WHAAAT? At what age must I start acting my age? This will mean I must change myself completely to fall into their category of what a more mature person should act like!

Well trust me when I say this … that’s neeeeever gonna happen, because, I am not acting, this is me, take it or leave it lol

PS ... I will add, I am not that old, YET!

Cleanliness ....

WARNING! NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!


Or have toilet issues ....




I will tell you first off that I do not have a problem, ok! But I do have certain standards as far as cleanliness goes, and I have had this conversation in full blown honesty one day at my friend jackies bar in Turkey one afternoon.

It started because, in jackies bar, as it is soo small that there is only one toilet, yes know, I hated this, but what can you do, I loved the bar.
Anyhow, I was sitting there with friends one afternoon, and I had just come back from the toilet, now ‘shorty’ asked me why I am always soo long in there, so this is where I went into my ‘overthetop’ mode with what I said heheh and here is it practically word for word, cos I had them in stitches …..

The reason is, cos as there is only one toilet, and I have issues with that, but never mind, cos i never want to share a public toilet with a man, the reason being that, mens toilets smell!, (laughter and denials from the men here) yes they do! No getting away from it, also after a few drinks they tend to miss the place they are supposed to be aiming for (more laughing denials from certain men) yes they do! So you end up with a smelly disgusting toilet, and because I hate public toilets anyway, I have a ritual that I have to do to make sure I do not touch anything in there.
Go to the toilet door close behind me and slide lock over with little finger, *cough* prepare myself to do what I need to and then ‘hover’ over the pan …… stop it I know what your thinking and doing now! Anyhow finish what I am doing, and pull myself together, grab some toilet paper so I can flush without touching the handle.
grab some paper hand towel turn on tap with it, throw towel away proceed to wash hands, grab some more paper hand towel, dry hands and turn off tap with it, with towel still in hand slide back the bolt on the door, turn handle with towel still in hand, throw paper towel into the bin, exit toilet.

Now you tell me what is wrong with that? Now you can imagine everyone sitting with me thinks I am nuts and they are killing themselves as they did not realise I was soo ‘ocd’, so now i have to explain why I do the things I do, goes something like this …..

Hover over toilet cos I do not know when it was last bleached etc, I do this in any public toilet, and again men have been using the toilet , eewww I use toilet paper to flush with cos other people have obviously flushed the loo before they have washed there hands, same with taps that’s why I hold paper tissue while turning on and off, the door bolt and handle? Because some people do not wash there hands after going, and that’s a fact, so I have to use the paper towels so I don’t dirty my hands again making all what I did before a waste of time.

Well, now they are all agreeing with me, cos it is fact what I just said, and I also said, since there was a lot of men sitting at the table, hand up those who went and did not wash there hands while in there, they all put there hands up but I can guarantee you, I named two that did not, as they were too quick in and out lol

Anyone think I am over the top with cleanliness? I do not think so, I think its common sense to do what I do, and anyone who says otherwise I will think they do not wash their hands either hehehe and I will out you!

Whats my theory? It is this, you can never be too clean, I know people say that a few germs never killed anyone … WHAAT? Yes they do!

lol if you are in the category of slobbyness, do not invite me round to your house ok? Cos i know someone and you seriously do not want to have anything to eat there, if you go into the kitchen you would die of shock and horror, and that is just downright lazy.

If I could wait when I was out to go to the ‘WC’ until I got home I would, that’s how bad I am about public toilets.

Brain transplant?

Yes! I think I need one!


Noooo, not to get rid of mine, to put MY brain, into, another fitter body, not that there is anything wrong with mine on the outside, ohhh tsk I am digging myself into a hole here … look just take it from me, I need to have my brain put into another body.

I was talking to a friend about this not long ago, she was saying that it sounded like a good idea, an excellent idea in fact, well, at first it seemed a good idea! Cos as we carried on talking about it, the more problems we came across.

Where I have to say there is nothing wrong with my brain, well I might forget some things sometimes, usually I find it is the trivial stooped things I forget, very rarely something important. so do you think we forget things, because there is already a lot crammed in there? I admit I have a massive amount of useless information crammed in my brain, with the odd bit of intelligence thrown in *whistles* …. So if my brain is crammed already with all this stuff no wonder I am going to forget some things, I do actually tell people this if I forget something, it goes something like this ….

Other person ~ “Tatty, it was my birthday last week, not today!”

Me ~ “tsk, oh FGS, why do I forget these things all the time, heheh you know what it is, I have soo much stuffed into my brain, that I have to shift some stuff out, and I am sorry that it was your birthday, that it chose to kick out and think it was trivial!” lol

Usually, I get some sort of reaction from that statement, that results in me being forgiven, after all the person is usually laughing by now.

Back to the transplant, so what would we need if we was looking for a new body to put our brain in? see now this is hard, cos on the outside I have been happy with it, so it would be pretty difficult, I am not saying I am the most beautiful person walking, but I have been told I am not bad, so what do I head for hahahah sorry for the pun, I mean what do I aim for? Another thing is my hair, always been very long and naturally blonde, not many people can say that can they, now you are thinking I am vain, but I am not … really! I am far from it.

Now i am thinking, would my brain actually be happier in another body, if I am not completely happy with it? And obviously I do need to be happy about the situation, well the answer would have to be no, so really I need a double of me, don’t I?
Now we are wandering into the world of cloning, and would that be possible for me to be cloned and my actual brain be put into that cloned body? Well maybe eventually I could be cloned, but the brain part? I don’t think so, so how do I resolve this problem? I don’t know, cos unless they do cloning, brain transplants etc, on the NHS I would not be able to have it, cos I am skint lol well not funny cos I am still stuck with my brain where it is now!

So do you see the dilemma of having to get a new body to put your brain in? and nooo, I don’t want to leave my brain behind, it has kept me amused for many a long hour, and others come to think of it, so I really do need it. I do have stuff in there that will maybe come in handy one day, you never know do you? I seem to have an answer for everything, or an easier solution to get something done. So you see I really do need my brain.

But is there a theory to all this dilemma? Well there should be, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was!

You would think that something as important as this I would at least remember something that would actually benefit myself, wouldn’t you?

Nooo am kidding the theory of this is, I need a very rich billionair, who would pay for this for me, after all I can make them laugh, that’s got to be on the plus side, amusing people comes easy to me, so am I worth it? Yes I do think so!! So come on … offers please!!

Errrm question? Is it possible to take certain parts of your brain? And leave the forgetful bits behind? Please let me know!

Farm Town ~ two ....

Farm Town ~ two

Now I would not usually have come back to this subject, but it is getting funnier by the minute, with the things that happen, said, done, so am paying a return visit, probably will a few times as it marches on, so I hope you find the subject as amusing as me!

Now i left off before with the ‘Tree trollers’  vs. ‘Tree huggers’, this situation will never be resolved, but what I do not understand is why some people insist that your  trees are up for harvest along with the rest of your  crops, well I am sorry, but If the farm I am making is MY farm, am I not the one that makes the decision who harvests what? The tree fruit do not ‘rot’ like the rest of the crops do within a certain time, hence why a lot of us farmers prefer our trees not to be harvested, they add nice colour and more depth to the farms, our choice!!

Anyhow that subject as I said will never be resolved, and I do not want to be repeating myself.

But there is something else that has come to light, ‘flowers’, there are no flowers to plant at the moment, there has been a notice that they will be ready in two weeks for the past few weeks, so now people are starting to get, lets say, agitated.

Now again bear I mind what I said in previous farm town talk, this game is still in the process of making, and there are some glitches, which when arise are being put right straight away.

Now these glitches are simple things like lose of crops, coins, tree, other glitches are more desperate for some people like, not being able to get connected, keep getting disconnected, and even worse things in some cases, so you would think that the people wanting to know when the flowers will be ready would have a bit more patience, would you not? Oohhh nooo, they kicking up a fuss cos they have seen the notice saying the flowers will be ready in two weeks, and ‘god damit’ where are they!!!

Seriously, taking into consideration of the other problems, what is wrong with them? 

Surely is it best to wait and have them work properly, than all these people complaining when they go wrong? Because they will complain BIG TIME, and I can imagine what some of the posts will be on the forum …..

“we waited a long time for the flowers"

"even waited more than the 2 weeks you specified a gazillion weeks ago, and now they do not work properly!!!! 

"They disappear"

"difficult to plant"

"I did not get paid the coins when harvested" 

"I cannot even plant them" 

"they died before I was able to harvest them ……” 

there will be an endless list!!! Believe me.

But  not to forget at the end of the day ….. it is a game!!!! So wait!!

Maybe in hind sight, the makers should not have put the flowers on the list of things you can plant, if they were not on there, no one would be any the wiser, and when they did come out … yay! everyone is ecstatic hahaha.

I bet you are wondering again what on earth I can make of this so far and how to theorize on it, quite easy really, it is this one little thing ….

People, well some, are never happy unless they are complaining about something, so even if the flowers were not on the list, I am sure that these farmers would have found something else to jump on, why cant people be more like me, and just wait, and not write endless complaints on the forum about endless silly questions that have been answered in an ‘announcement’ no less, oh yes I left that little detail out above, because I thought I would make a point here to prove what I was going on about, yes an announcement was made and posted on the forum, and then not long after another brand new thread appeared about the flowers!! 

My theory?? … this ….

Oh my god!! What is wrong? read, and go weep somewhere else lol don’t start yet another thread saying you have been waiting, we already know!! Pft! Read the forum first and the announcements!!

So while I can sit here and write this and laugh at all this ’problem’ with the flowers, I am thinking … yeeessss you may well complain about me now, because you will see it as me taking the pee out of you, errrmmmm …..

Now before I say ‘laters’ I thought i would give you a tad bit of useless information about MY farm, 5 days ago, I took the time as my whole farm was empty, to plow and then plant , which took 3 hours this to do by the way, the whole lot with pumpkins, not only did it cost me approx 130,000 coins to do, but I thought because of the colours of them when they are ready to harvest, would be looking lovely, also the income is massive it gives me, and I had nearly 4 days off also to faff about lol , so the picture of my lovely farm is here in full pumpkin bloomery, and the income from that one harvest of them Drrrrrrrrrrrrdrrrrrrrrrrrrrdrrrrrr (drum roll) ……

345,325 coins   woohoooo

Was well worth all the trouble lol, And, I got to re-arrange my whole farm and make and add a maze as well.

the picture at the top, is the farms new arrangement with the maze in the bottom corner. the picture under that is of all the pumpkins.

My one thought ....

at some point it happened ...

i will say, i never do poems, rhymes, ditty what ever you want to call them, i do not do them, i do not seem to be able to do them. it was only when a friend of mine started posting her lovely rhymes that i felt the need to keep her 'company' in as answering in a rhyme, which i was bad at! so this all of a sudden came to me one night while i was talking to her and another friend online, when they was asking me if i had been able to find the time to do what i had said i was going to do .... get that? 

so here is what popped into my head ....

will have to do it tomorrow 

or some time, 

when i get time, 

cos i have no time at the minute 

not enough hours, 

seconds fly by, 

days gone in a flash, 

weeks are months, 

a moment longer 

another year to ponder ,

one today …

six decade's later ,

a lifetime over ..............

By Tatty

what is the theory? for once my brain cells must have bonded? depends how you read into it, don't it?

i can tell you one thing ... my brain cells will never bond like that again, EVEEEER hahaha

Nawty!!

And mischief ….

I sometimes cannot help myself you know, it just happens, a spur of the moment something that will present itself and I just get this irresistible urge that I have to do something nawty, never nasty, always in a funny way, so I thought I would give you one of the best I ever have done, there may be more, actually there are but, this sticks out like a sore thumb hehehe.

So, one day in Turkey, I was out and about one Sunday afternoon, oh before go on, I used to write a column for the local free paper, which was supposed to be about my weekly happenings, again this was funny, I ended up having a huge following, I had to give the people I mentioned in the ‘aliases’ so that I could protect the not so innocent, I was told that people used to wait at certain places for it to be delivered each week, how cool is that! So this story here I put in my column.

Anyhoo, I will set the scene for you, this particular Sunday afternoon there was the 2 John’s, Wayne and his new girlfriend from England with her daughter in this bar, we were the only ones in there along with the barmaid Karen. I was sitting at the end of the bar where the door was where you came in.

It was pretty much just normal chatter, Wayne used to live in Turkey but sold up and went back to England,  so we are all there, then in walks the photographer from another well know local paper, now this photographers job was to go round all the local hotspots taking people pictures then putting them in his paper as interesting places to be at the time, I knew him, he knew me very well as I  had done some nawty things before to him, like or instance, a Chinese meal one night, there were 11 of us, he came in took photos and asked me to name who is who at the table ….. Big mistake, we had the Kray twins, Myra Hindly, Richard Meldrew …. And he had all these names below our picture in the paper the following week, and everyone knew that it must have been me that did the names hahaha.

Back to Sunday afternoon, so the photo bloke came in saw me and said hello in Turkish to me and hello in English to the others, so now I am thinking what can I do to brighten things up, so me knowing full well that none of the others spoke or understood Turkish I told him in Turkish that Wayne and his girlfriend had just got married earlier that day, and he must take a photo and put it in his paper! 

So he was really happy that he had caught these two on their wedding day and promptly started taking photos, of course they all wanted to know what I said to the photo bloke and I told them, they all thought it was hilarious! So after he had taken the photo’s of Wayne and girlfriend he wanted a group shot, and just at the right second I had turned my head and was looking outside, so all he got was the back of my head hehe.

Then he came and put a paper and pen in front of me and asked me to write down their names, which I did, sort of, not their real names though!

Now the following Thursday when this paper comes out, I had been down to the local town, and I had met the 2 Johns in a bar, on the way back to where I should be, while in this bar one of the John’s gets a phone call, it was Wayne asking where he was and who with, so of course John told him, then John starts spluttering, saying on the phone ‘ok we are coming’. so he gets off the phone and asked me what I had done, cos the photo’s that were taken on Sunday were in he ‘post’ paper and Wayne now wants to kill me, Hahahah so I told them what I had done with the names, and they killed themselves laughing.

Well, we all get into our cars and drive to this other bar, where Wayne and his girlfriend are, and as I pulled up outside everyone is standing at he bar, this is an open bar as it is the middle of the summer, so I put my head out of the window and say, ‘am I safe to get out of this, cos if not I’m off’, with that everyone started laughing, Wayne tells me I am safe. So I go in and he said have you seen this paper and the story under the photo, I told him no, not yet, his girlfriend is telling me she is going to take copies of the paper home to show her friends and family cos it’s the funniest things ever, anyway you get the drift people were all over me like a rash. 

So I was handed the paper, and there are two photos, one of Wayne and girlfriend the other a group photo with the back of my head hahaha, and under the ‘bride and groom’ photo was this ……

Mr & Mrs Wanking  were married today …….

Hehehehehe

I bet your wondering what my theory is now? It is this ….

I should never be let out, cos I am very nawty when left to my own devices!!

p.s the photo above, is of my dog George, on the beach in Turkey, i put the shark in the photo though! lol

Online games ……

I will have to tell you something before I go any further, I have never played online ‘games’ before In my life, in fact the only computer game I have ever really played is ‘Sims’, now I think most of you have heard about Sims. I was playing Sims quiet happily although I do not think the ’Sims’ people were very happy with me, they was not happy actually, could not form relationships, eat properly, they got depressed, only one family was ok and they went on to have a baby, and this is where I went wrong, I got so wrapped up in making sure the baby was well cared for I neglected the family, then because they were depressed one of them accidentally started a fire, and me being me, I panicked, while they were running around trying to put out the fire, call the fire brigade I was still panicking, while the whole place was blazing, and the worse thing happened yes, I killed the baby, I did not get it out, I was soo upset I have never been able to play the game since lol. 

I tell you, people who I know that play this game and i tell them what I did, they pee themselves laughing.

Now bear the above in mind, and it is a testament that I am no good at these sort of games at all.

So a week ago I was sent an invitation to this online game called ‘Farm Town’ now I have read up on this game, it was only started in February 2009 this year, it was given to 12 users on a very well known social network to try it out, and with the time from February to now which is the beginning of May 4, months in all, it has grown to over 4 million!! The makers do not advertise this game, you will not see it anywhere apart from on people’s profile’s on this social network.

So anyhow I was sent an invite by a friend to go play this ‘Farm Town’, so because of her, I went and signed up, its an easy game, nothing hard, nothing but literally farming, inviting other people to be you neighbours, you send and receive gifts, that can be from animals to trees, no people live with you on the farm, it is just you, tending it.

You also have to make a ‘buddy’ list these are people that you help harvest crops, they help you, you get more money if others harvest for you.

You also get two places to go to ‘hire’ people to work for you, if your buddies are not online, the market place and the inn, where most of them stand about begging for  work, mainly at the market, at the inn this is for purely socializing but people still go to beg for work.

Me, I go to the inn, go to the bar and then offer booze to everyone, hahaha ok its ‘cyber’ alcohol, but it is still funny, and usually I get to meet all sorts of people that I can add to my ever growing buddy list.

You get the drift? and it does make you interact with other people, over the 8 days I have been on this game, I am on it more often than I have ever been on anything in my life that is on the internet, in fact there is a ‘Farm Town’ forum, where you go and do what ever it is you need to do, you know what forums do.

Also I have noticed that some are rather addicted to the game, on it practically 24/7!! I am not naming names, but, setting the alarm clock to go off in the middle of the night so they can do a harvest, instead of, planning the planting so that you don’t need to do anything until you have had a good nights sleep.

Example, you can plant grapes, they take 4 hours and you get more points, then you get day plants, 2 days and so on, so tell me how you would plan that out? And believe me, people are openly admitting on the forum they are addicted hahaha … aww should not laugh because I can see why it is such a compelling game.

So I am thinking there should really be a ‘Farm-oholics- anon, seriously! I doubt it would help people much but it sure would make funny reading.

Now in all this as I said, you get to meet people from all over the world, I have a list now of where people come from, I tend to forget, and this does makes things easier as you know when they possibly will be online. Also you need to keep a tag on the time zone’s now that can be confusing as well.

I can honestly say that the main bulk of people I have met have been lovely, we laugh and chat about most things of interest, and I am really enjoying that.

Then you get the ‘trolls’ these are people that deliberately set out to cause conflict, upset and use bad language, that is a troll definition, oh yes look it up on the net, it will come back as …..

“In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, often in the form of posting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, incorrect, inaccurate, absurd, or off-topic, with the intent of provoking a reaction from others.” 

Now, believe me they are on Farm Town, there is a debate going on as we speak about, hiring people from the market, and you tell them what you  want harvesting, you also might say ‘not to touch your trees’, they agree, you give them the tools (by clicking on the person’s little person onscreen) and then they run amok … yes they chop everything, including your trees!!!    now you are sitting there and what can you do? Hence the thread on this behaviour on the forum, which is soo funny I might add.

So now we have ‘TREE TROLLERS’ hahaha

So after everything I have said here, and I do not know if you play these sort of games or not, are you wondering what my theory is on all this? Well let me tell you…..

Why do people deliberately set out to ‘troll’ …. cause trouble? My theory? ….

Because they are just downright nasty people, who have no social skills whatsoever!!

That’s the only thing I can think of, you could argue that they think it is funny, they do more than likely, because they enjoy the tormenting of others and see the reaction they get, but does that excuse them from the everyday politeness that should be, whether it is RL or on the internet?

Or I have a better theory …. They are just plain sad people, Who need to get a life!!

p.s. the photo here is of Sally's farm, shows how much planning and effort some people will put into this, nice though a?

And then there was nothing, like we were never here, no voices… ~ by antihero …………………….

And that’s it, the theory here? You make your own mind up!

There have been many a happy year spent by some members on this forum, some going back to the beginning of when Big Brother started way back.

Some were fairly new.

There have been, births, deaths, marriages announced.  Happy times that needed to be shared. 

Some very sad stories from FM’s who were having a bad time, for whatever reason, and everyone rallied round, because that’s what people do in a crisis!

There had been some major fallouts in this place, but with a forum this size you would expect to.

But above all, some very lasting friendships have been formed, where a bond is soo tight, it will probably stand the pace of time ……..

Dotty Richard ......

And who wants some? With custard or cream?

This is what happens to favourite things when PC (political correctness) has gone mad!

The list is endless, all that we hold or have held sacred slowly drowning in the mad world of PC.

Everything we grew up with has changed, for some reason I have come to think are we pandering to the sensitivity of others? We cannot be classed as men or women anymore, we are just people/person. 

And I love being a woman!

Now do I complain that by labelling me as just a ’person’ have I the right to shout ’I am a woman, not just a person!’ will this be PC? 

Same with men, now we all know how men see their ’manliness’ as sacred, listen up men …. you are being labelled as ’just a person’, why are you not screaming at the top of your voices that YOU ARE MEN! That is usually the norm with the male species. don’t get me wrong, I love men, I seem to get on better with them, maybe that’s because I was brought up with 4 brothers and no sisters, I have had many a laugh in the company of men, that’s very true, so I am not putting you men down here with what I am saying, so please don’t get all sensitive on me, and say I am not PC, *flutters eyelashes* ……

With the endless list of all the things that we are not allowed to call by there proper name anymore, I sometimes get confused, that’s a fact, look I am blonde, so I can be excused for easily being confused, cant I? or am I now putting blondes in the box of being ‘dumb’, ‘stupid’, airheads’? I am not, if I can take the pee out of myself why cant the rest? Actually I will go back to what I said before about my dad, he thinks I am a very intelligent woman, so maybe that is why I do not have a problem taking the pee out of myself, because I am comfortable with who I am. And if I can take the pee out of myself then I say I have the right to have a laugh with others, I would never be nasty with what I say, that’s just not me.

Then we get all PC over inanimate objects, why? I have looked into certain things that have come under the magnifying glass about being PC or not, and usually there is a history as to why they are called what they are, so why change history to pander to what others think, usually the minority,  I just do not get it!

There are many ‘old’ comedy programs that will never be aired again, because of the content of them, the words that no one took offence to then, until someone said it was not PC, why? I think they are funny and the majority of others do as well, because when they were first aired they were very popular.

What some things used to be classed as ‘suggestive’ is not PC because it offends, in the work place you see many a hoohaa coming about because someone took something, now this can even be a joke, in innocence as offensive.

Where will it all stop? And when? When will the PC brigade please stop this nonsense?

So this is what it comes down to, I brought my son up to treat others as he would want to be treated, good philosophy I think there, I have always lived by that, I am always nice to others, but of course unless they cross me for no reason lol. He likes a laugh and joke as we all do, well, most of us ….. So really are these people who are so into being PC forgetting how to live? How to laugh? How to relax? That last one must be true, because they must be on guard all the time, knowing full well that they have to think a certain way, more to the point, how were these people brought up? 

So my theory is this, the PC brigade are aliens!! 

They must be, why would anyone want to change the way we think and behave, dictate to us! I think it’s a way to take over and rule the world, a way to control the way we think and behave, eventually turn us into mindless robots who think the way they do. 

And what better a way to do it, no one realises that this is happening slowly to us as a society, a free thinking society, they are squishing our right to freedom of speech! 

Scared? Well you should be, there may well be one of these ‘PC’s’ next to you right now ….. 

Stand up for your rights people, do not be afraid to speak anymore, shout loud and proud what ever it is you want to say, that is usually not PC, and I will give you the very first words that you should say, out loud now, do not be shy, because this is the meaning of ‘Dotty Richard’ the very heart of what we love, so when you cast your eyes upon these words, do not just read them to yourself, shout them out!! Let everyone hear that we will not be dictated to by aliens ever again, here is the meaning, ready? ……..

SPOTTED DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that’s right’ Dotty Richard’ is one of our favourite puddings, spotted dick, how stupid is that? Now I have said all this I fancy some spotted dick, have not had any for ages, I have custard …….

Time out from theorizing .... part two.

From part one cont: …..

So there he is, the little old man leaning on the wall, I am thinking he is going to have a heart attack! He also says he has in his house a stena chair lift, lol he gives me the parcels, I sign he goes slowly down stairs. Now I am think should I do something? Should he be doing this job at his age, and more to the point his health? But what do I know, he could be subsidizing his pension for all I know, I wont be doing him any favours, if I open my mouth, he could be doing the job to keep himself occupied, so as not to get bored, as I said, what do I know? So I leave it, and hope that I have made the right decision, not to say anything.

10.10am ~  well this is the quickest delivery I have ever had, it’s the stuff I ordered form ‘next’ at 6pm yesterday! Just under 16 hours to get here, how’s that for service! I turn my laptop on, and  I  need to try the things on, and everything fits apart from one item, now I ordered the same size for each of what I got, but how comes there is always one item that will be the wrong fit? So now I have to make arrangements for it to be sent back, and a replacement. Other than that I like all the other things and am quite happy.

11.00am ~ first I need to finish the cleaning that needs doing, also I need to make some bread, so I get all the ingredients together and put it in the bread making machine and make sure that is going. Do you want to know why I make my own bread? Because for one, I could not believe how much bread cost when I came back from abroad, like there, it was about 10p a loaf, and fresh with no preservatives in, so it has been worth my while to get the bread making machine and make my own wholemeal and white bread, that have no preservatives and know what has gone into it. I have worked it out that each loaf cost about 50p, so that’s not bad, a?

Noon ~ I finally am able to get on my laptop and look at emails etc while I am there I have to look at the British Gas website, as my electric supply is through them, and I need to sort out with the payment with them, as the DD that goes out each month for it was not enough for the year overall, as I changed from E-on to BG a year ago, because I had a dispute with E-on, for the first quarter in 2008 my electric bill was so high I nearly had a fit when I saw it, I called them but would they look into it? Nooooo! So I changed to BG, now they for the same period is about £85 cheaper, so no problems there, so I call and pay them, out of the way.

1.00pm ~ have done two loads of washing as well so far this morning, need to put another load in.

1.15pm ~ I parcel up the item that needs sending back to ‘next’, then I look for the number to call them, and it is a 0870 number, why do companies do this? So I look on the ‘saynoto0870’ website to see if there is an alternative landline number and there is, and a free phone one at that …. yay, well I have to say the reason why I am happy is because, I pay £5 extra  month on top of my line rental to get free landline calls 24/7 now this is all landline UK 01-02-03-080, so why should I have to pay the stupid prices for these 0870/0844/5 blah blah? I can guarantee that at the end of each month, I do have a bill purely because of these numbers.  I know I sound like a tight-wade, but its no good throwing money away, that’s not right.

So I call ‘next’  and make arrangements for the item to be picked up tomorrow, and a replacement sent at the same time, job done.

1.45pm ~ while I am on the ‘sayno’ website I notice a petition that is going, to get the hospitals, local GP and clinics to stop using these sort of numbers, and I firmly believe in this, they should not be using these numbers, my surgery does, and I think it is wrong.  See this is what I was saying, some people might not be able to afford these numbers, it soon mounts up when you are holding one for ‘a stoopid long time’, oh I have timed my GP service, you don’t want to know, really! Is this not answering and taking ages to answer deliberate? so that whoever the money goes to gets more? So I click the link and sign the petition, also while I am on, there is another petition that I agree with so sign that one as well. These petition sites are lethal for me, so I quickly get off it before I get carried away ……

2.10pm ~ talking about calling my GP, I have to call them to make an appointment, as I have the results from the MRI scan I had done last Friday to get, don’t suppose that will be good news from what happened while I was there having them done *sigh*. 

Anyoo, I finally get through, after waiting 15 mins from the auto voice to someone saying hello, I ask for an appointment and while i am there about my repeat prescription that I sent in last week, and guess what! For the fourth time not only has it been done, but collected by the wrong pharmacy to be filled and delivered …. pft!!!! So takes ages to sort that out, why is nothing simple?

2.45pm ~ I spend a bit more time on the net, perusing my favourite places, while having a cup of tea.

3.25pm ~ phone goes, it’s a friend of mine, spend over an hour catching up, this is a normal thing everyday, she is not having a good time, her hubby is ill, and she is not too good, just come out of hospital, and what with me, it’s a joke I can tell you. We always seem to find something funny especially me, as I want to cheer people up and make them laugh.

4.30pm ~ well, ear hole is aching lol, and my kitteh, Is moaning at me cos she want me to play with her, so spend some time, throwing her mice for her to run after, she is sooo funny, she gets carried away and then starts running like a banshee, thundering about the place, she sounds like an elephant!!

5.15pm ~ time for me to find something to eat, am not very hungry, so have something quick and easy, that done and finished, wash up and put away.

6.10pm ~ well that’s it, am now going to settle down for the evening. I have actually left a couple of things out of here, that’s because its private stuff, you don’t need to know about my bathroom ablutions. 

My 24 hours are done with sharing with you, not very scintillating is it? Been nice to have no dramas actually … lol …..

Time out from theorizing ....

Part one ....

About time I had some time out, instead of theorizing this week, here Is a total waste of non-theory, brains rest from theorizing and this is what I have done in the past 24 hours …..

Sunday 6pm is where I will start, because I actually did something at that time, it was Sunday, which as we all know is resting day, time out from work, so really that’s exactly what I did all day, slobbed out all day with my kitteh, in my lovely electric recliner chair, I have to be comfortable you know, and just watched TV and catching up on recordings I had done during the week.

Before I carry on, I will recommend an electric recliner chair to all of you, I have never been soo comfortable sitting in anything in all my life, I am in this chair whenever I am on my laptop, the foot rest is up, lappy resting on my lap, cup of tea next to me, within reach, so am not stretching myself. Its soo big my kitteh is beside me on it, and she is nice and comfy and snoozing, I am always in it while watching TV,  I also  recline it right back and snooze in it, make sure you get the right one for you, mine has massive big cushioning all over it, well padded, so if you do not have one yet, go and get one ….. NOW!

Where was I? oh yes ……

Sunday 6pm ~ I have been looking on the ‘Next’ website for some new summer clothes, they have some lovely things out, so I order a few items, and the checkout, it says they will be leaving the warehouse Monday 20th (next day). Now whenever  I am given dates like this after ordering stuff I allow 2-3 days for it to actually get to me.

6.30pm ~ I have something to eat, clean the dishes. Phone call comes from a friend and I chat on there for about an hour, not unusual this, actually an hour is the norm, anything shorter is not the norm.

7.45pm ~ I refresh my memory by watching last weeks episode of  ‘LOST’ I record every episode and watch it about 2-3 time before the next episode, yes, I know I am a really sad person, I know this, but I love this program.

8.45 ~ now I am a quandary, LOST is on at 9pm on Sky1, on ITV1 at 9.20 ‘hells kitchen’ is on, which is not repeated,  so now I am watching ‘lost’ until 9.20 then turn over to watch ‘hells kitchen’, and am glad I did not miss it now, cos Jody the silly boy, threw a tantrum and stormed out, throwing apron off and other items of clothing as he makes his way out the back door, then promptly takes a run and jump over the back fence lol only to be brought back later, I am not going to fill you in why he did this, you should have watched the show, like I do.

10.20 ~ go to the recorded listings, go to this weeks episode of ‘lost’ and then watch it, while drinking my horlicks, also have taken my tablets. And OH MY GOD, this show never ceases to amaze me, I can probably guarantee after each episode I am thinking to myself WTF!!

11.15 ~ well that’s me for the night, my eyelids are drooping, so get myself ready for bed, and as always read for a while, I am still plowing through ‘Phillips Gregory’ books she is the author that wrote ‘Tudor’ series of books, great reading if I do say myself. The one I am on at the moment if the second book of a trio, the favoured child, I would recommend them.

12.30am ~ finally am ready for sleep, I have nearly dozed off a couple of time, but needed to get to the end of the chapter first, my kitteh is at the bottom of my bed, nice and snug and sleeping, I turn the light out, settle down, then gone ……

06.50am ~ oh sh*t, my mobile has bleeped off, the battery must have died, so get up and go plug it in, go back to bed, snuggle back down again with my kitteh.

09.30am ~ ohhhhh this is strange, the first time my kitteh has let me have a lay in since I brought her home day before new year, she must be getting used to my sleeping pattern. Get up wash my kitteh’s bowls out, feed and water her, make myself a cup of tea, take my tablets, then settle down to watch the morning news, see whats happened in the world, make another cup of tea, hang on I will warn you, when I first get up I need at least 5-6 cups of tea before I can face the world and do anything.

09.55am ~ someone is phoning at this early time, a man says he is delivering 3 parcels for me and checking I am in, I tell him yes, within a minute the security buzzer is going. I answer, it is the man with the parcels so I tell him first floor and buzz him in, open front door and wait for him to come up, and wait … and wait .... I then go to the other door to look down stairs … oh crikey a little old man of about 80 is struggling to get up the stairs, ohh noooo lol he gets to me, I ask him if he is ok, he says ‘I don’t do stairs’ ….. what can I say, the poor thing is out of breath and leaning on the wall ……

To be cont:….

Intelligence & ....

.... common sense

Have you noticed that very intelligent people have no common sense? I am not putting anyone down here, I think its just a fact.

Some years ago, I was on a one year course on computers, on this course was a 28 year old man, lets call him Charlie for now, who had never worked in his life!  Since leaving school, university, he had gone from one course to another, for different subjects, no doubt about it he was very intelligent, and he probably had never before come across the likes of me or the other people on this same course, all from different back grounds, different walks of life.

At lunch time we all went to go to the same café, sit and chat about all sorts of stuff, as you do, but I noticed that Charlie had no common sense whatsoever, the simplest things to you and me, was way over his head, he just could not seem to get that it was not major thinking that comes into play with everyday things, just common sense. I was not the only one to notice this. 

Logically thinking, you would have thought that everyone well most peeps, have common sense, some more than others admittedly, but its there. But I have noticed since Charlie, that the more intelligent the person, the less common sense, really! I do not know why, it is just something I have noticed. Maybe I have a way of thinking about things, that for some reason I can solve something by common sense, and when I solve a problem another person will ask how on earth did I think of doing it that way, of just thinking of it, cos it seems so simple now the solution is there, and it is not a hard thing that I have solved, got round, however you like to call it, I used my common sense.

I seem to end up having to explain how I come to the solution or reasoning that I did, so am I now right in thinking that this person who I am explaining to has no common sense? So therefore more intelligent than me? I can honestly say, no, not the case. I am not building myself up here, but I do know what’s what, I just seem to have a knack at some things.

Or is it that I have more common sense than others, does that mean I am really dumb in that case then? Because you can ask my dad you know, he thinks I am a very intelligent person, who thinks straight, and use’s my head, most of the time, in his words to me, “you are not stupid” . 

Does that make me an intelligent person then who just happens to have a lot of common sense? So what does that make the others? The ones I have noticed who are very intelligent with no common sense? I know they are far more intelligent than me that’s for sure, with no common sense.

I am not putting down  people with less intelligence here, I think that because of lack of knowledge etc there seems to be common sense, because they have a simpler way of seeing things, and solving the problems, not over thinking, that’s one way of putting it. Very intelligent people tend to over think the problem, where a bit of common sense is the way to look at it. 

Ahhh yes that’s it then, why highly intelligent people have no common sense, over thinking. Doh! so, STOP IT!

Why have I never thought of it that way before? I should have been able to see it a mile off, over thinking hurts you brain, because you can never get to the solution, that’s for sure. Now I can actually see what I have been saying on here, in black and white, I have the solution for intelligent people, to get some common sense ….. stop thinking!! Or over thinking more to the point, it gets you nowhere fast, it certainly will not give you the common sense to help you with everyday life, maybe there should be a class in how to be stupid, dumber, or just not as intelligent. 

Now there is a niche in the market that I have opened up for someone, please give me the credit for it will you, better still can I have royalty payments, I could do with some money, cos it does not pay good, having common sense.

Maybe I should start charging before some of these blogs can be read, because I am giving people money making ideas, I bet this time next year someone out there will have opened a course on how to behave with less intelligence, and enhance your chances of having more common sense,  hahaha that’s got to be worthwhile, hasn’t it? how long do you reckon the course should go on for?  How long do you think it will take for an intelligent person to be able to achieve this goal? 

This has got to be the funniest money making scheme I have come up with in ages, and should not be laughed at, so please let me know how you get on, or if you see this ‘common sense’ course anywhere please let me know will you? Ta muchly.

Space junk.

Rubbish! 

More importantly ‘Space junk’, and we are all well aware of the rubbish/junk that we throw away which is causing more and more landfills, because we do not re-cycle enough. The reason why basically is maybe laziness, at the moment there is a mountain of paper, waiting for someone to buy, to then re-cycle, now how on earth did that come about? Plastic is the biggest culprit, man made thing, that will not go away! And plastic bags do the most damage, poor  sea faring animals, that get caught up in the handles/can holders thingies, you know the six pack that held together with the plastic that goes round the rims, what’s it called? Anyhoo … them. 

We are forever taking the resources out of the planet, that is not replaced, leaving massive holes behind, void‘s! If we re-cycled more, we would not have to take so much out. 

So you know that we take all sorts from the earth to make things for ourselves, iron, minerals, steel, oil, coal, you name it we take it. These things are used for various things, cars to help us get from ‘a to b’, the oil and petrol to make that car run, you know what I mean, most of it goes hand in hand, we need this stuff to makes other stuff work, yes? Without all this mining, drilling, not only on land but offshore, what would our lives be like? 

We use computers, if we did not have them, what would you be doing? Not only do we need computers for personal use, but for work, more than that, practically everything. so think of the consequences if we did not have this.

Take me for instance, I do not leave the confines of my abode, well its very seldom, not through choice I might add, but that is not something  I will be going into at anytime soon, i very rarely go out, so how do you think I ‘survive’? mostly, thankfully, I have the use of my lappy, this is my lifeline, this gives me the independence I do not have to a certain extent, I have people around me, but I am the type who does not like to keep asking for help and all that goes with it, so take shopping for instance, I do it online, it is delivered, and I don’t just mean food shopping, anything I want I get online. I am probably saving so much of the environment , because I do not have a car anymore, hence I do not use all the resources that go hand in hand with it, plus other stuff that reduces my carbon foot print, but this is not about that, good grief, gone off subject, because I needed to explain the stuff that gets me to where we are heading on my theory on ‘rubbish/junk’. but you understand what I have been saying up to now, yes?

So look at the picture above, with this theory, what do you see? If you do not know, here it is, a picture of our world, and our unused space stuff surrounding it? that is ‘space junk’, it is what we have taken from our  world, and put into space!  Look closely, the mess close to the planet is lower orbit, the rest further away, is higher orbit, looks like we are sitting in a metal bowl, does  it not?

Satellites, space exploration, rockets, its all our doing, us as human beings, putting our stuff in orbit around our world, to mainly make what we use, well, able to use. Who has a mobile? Look at that picture and your satellite is there enabling it to work, TV? Yes look at the picture, you get my drift?  A lot of it is in use no more, it is just there, even nuts and bolts that have come lose, you name it, its there. And the rest that is in use, has to navigate round it, to stop accidents.

This space junk, the ones not in use, is causing problems, like you would not believe,  it is shooting round our earth at 18,000 mph, something like that, if it hits something, well, can you imagine what would happen. 

At this moment in time, we have people working for a solution, there has to be a solution, or we are in big trouble, not only can we not take care of our junk ON earth, we also litter up the space around us! How stupid are we? Well me and you as mere mortals, not stupid, but the ones that built this stuff and shoot them into orbit, without thinking of the consequences, taking earth resources to put into orbit, great thinking, and leaving it there without a thought, lovely, what is the saying? If you cant see it, don’t worry about it? Probably got that wrong, but you know what I mean here.

So this is what I think, and would this theory work?

The powers that be who are working on this problem, have to find a way to bring this ‘space junk’ back down to earth, literally, I mean it. So bring it back down and then what? Well for one, it would probably pay itself, for the time, trouble and the amount of money it cost, to make it possible to bring it back down. Two, recycle everything! I mean, that can be done, but not just recycle it, put the excess back into the earth where it come from, surely we must have taken enough out by now to cover what we will actually use, if we re-cycle it properly, have we not? How much ‘space junk’ would you say is up there? I would say, way too much for us to re-cycle, so put it back, if we put it back, to fill them voids, then we cut down on the pollution, as we do not need to bring more out, do we?  Some people will probably lose their jobs, but not all, because we would need them to put the stuff back, and the end result is we have done something useful for once, well  in a long time. 

But thinking off it, why do we not put the stuff that is going into landfills into these holes that we have made, by bringing this stuff out? Would that not be better? Not so many people losing jobs now is there. So collecting all this rubbish/junk not only from here, but in space can be put to good use. 

If we do not, fill these massive holes/voids that we have left behind by taking all these resources out, what happens?  Does it eventually collapse? I hope I am not sitting on top of one of these, that’s all I can say. 

So a wanted ad, for the person with the brightest idea on how to collect the space junk, would look like something like this …..

REFUSE TECHNICIAN/SCRAP METAL MERCHANT  WANTED.

Applicant must forward the specs and costing, for the collection of scrap metal from lower and higher orbit of earth. No qualifications required, must have common sense, and the knowledge to operate heavy moving machinery. 

Man made structures already waiting for the relocation of the collections ... world wide project, with a view to repeat process every 10/15 years after completion, or when necessary, to the successful applicant. Salary neg.

Please send your CV’s to me, i will pass them on, maybe, as I am thinking of my own ideas,  and may nick yours!

Later, Tatty xx

Ice age... (not the film)

Ice age …..

… big bang? Is what scientists are talking about, ‘global warming’, say it however you will, some say its the same thing, others disagree. Some refuse to acknowledge it even exists. Which one do you come under?

Now I keep on telling you, that I am not involved in the ‘ology’ world, where these people study for absolutely years, and then tell us what is happening in and to the world around us. 

But, there is no doubt in my mind, that we have seriously damaged our planet, because of the way we abuse it, taking out natural resources, burning to much energy, you know what I mean, I do not have to spell it out for you. And there is no doubt in my mind that weather, climate and nature is turning on us, there are things going on in countries that have never been heard of before. The ice caps melting, collapsing, one ice shelf did yesterday (6th April 2009). I have seen actually it spelled out in layman’s terms, so that Joe bloggs can understand what this will lead to.

Some say a global heat that will lead to all sorts of horrendous things associated with the suns rays being able to penetrate through to our planet surface, because of the ozone layer depleting, now that’s not nice. None of us would survive I do not think. 

Some say the earths 'magnetic field' is gradually changing direction, now that will bring so much trouble to all of us, including the poor little birds, they would find it a hard time to fly. The whales and others like it, use an inbuilt compass to get around there feeding grounds. I do not have the time to make the list, it would take too long and would be a long one, I can tell you, take my word for it, there has been tests to prove this. Also I do not want to give you nightmares thinking of the poor little animals.

You have probably heard about the above already, hence why we are recycling, and cutting down our carbon footprint, well I know I am, and I hope you are, we ALL need to do it! If some do and others don’t, who is defeating who? And what?

This leads me to this, and my theory, and the coming ‘Ice age’, now this one if true, will wipe out quite a large part of civilisation as we know it, and what we now have come to know and use in everyday life, the same as what happened millions of years ago, well not the same, if we are to believe the scientists, that say pre-historic was wiped out, it was not a civilised place to be, they did not have electricity, computers, space shuttles,  cars, airplanes, name it, not there then. They knew nothing like we know now. Or did they?

Obviously some of humanity survived,  or how else would we be here now, (do not go and read back to what I said before, this is this theory now). But humanity did, just! And we are told that ice age happened because of a massive meteor colliding with earth. Or was it?

Theory ... What if, they did know and actually have what we have now, technology wise, if not more? Who can definitely say, categorically, that is not so. What if  the planet was used as we are using it now? What if we have this technology knowledge, because deep down inside, there is a slither of memory that helped us get there again? Something must be embedded in us for it to emerge, this technology, who is to say it is not these memories. Maybe all them millions of years ago they did exactly what we are doing now, that brought about the ice age, trying to solve the problem, but too late. And then hoping against hope that the new world would grow from scratch, but would have learned somehow, not to make the same mistakes we have now.

The massive meteor has gone to the wayside then, maybe that did not happen, as I said above, WE did it to ourselves then, as we are now. Who can say otherwise, with certain proof?

But I suppose you are wondering why then, did it take until the last century or so, to gain this knowledge back, and implement, easy, everything was destroyed, nothing left as evidence, now if it was destroyed by us or by fate of what happened, who knows, I think it was us that destroyed all knowledge, in the hope we do not go down the same road. That leaves the fact that some memory in us slowly came to the fore.

But, what do I know? I do not have an ’ology’ in science or anything like it, I do have however, a ‘faff-ology’ certificate, for those of you who do not know what ‘faffing’ is, its this, for one whole day at least, whole day being 24 hour period, you must not do anything at all! The only thing you are allowed to do is, go to the bathroom, (to use toilet, nothing else), eat, drink, watch TV or listen to the radio/music, read, use pooter,  that’s it, if you can get someone else to get you food and drink even better, I doubt anyone would help in the bathroom department, depends how close you are to the people/person you are living with I suppose. 

Anyhoo, I have done this, faffing for a whole day, and so have others I know, some we have helped, by being on the end of the computer, talking them through it, and steering them in the right direction, so that they do not fall to the wayside, and actually do something, like shower!! and then I hand the ‘faff-ology’ certificate to them, or email which ever is the easiest, cos at the end of the day, I ‘faff’ even when I am not doing it for a whole day, for the certificate. As long as I know that I am not having visitors, I do not want to be explaining what I am doing in my pj’s at ‘stooped o' time’.

I do not have all the answers, just as all the ‘ologists’ do not have them either, this is my theory, I do not profess to know it all.  in fact, if you read deep enough into the ‘faff-olgy’ paragraphs you probably know, I do not know much, which is why my theories are just mine, and I have not had a ‘paper’ brought out on this, who would listen to little me?  Especially men, they seem to have ‘selective’ hearing when it comes to listening to a woman.... 

... Ahhh but that is for another time peeps.

Related much?

In the ‘Teeth & ancestors’, where I totally blew my own theory away, it actually made me think about how close our ancestors are, I mean not to just our own line of ancestors, but how close MY ancestors are to YOURS!

See we are brought up in the belief that we cannot marry a relative, well, a close relative, but even a cousin 2nd removed or something in that direction, would be too close for comfort in my eyes, so I don’t even want to go there. 

Bearing that in mind we can all go and trace our ancestral line, might cost us some, to do so, but we can do it, but why on earth we should have to pay to find out our own ancestors, when it is public knowledge anyway, it is wrong. All the information is computerized these days, it is on any site related to what you are looking for, also we do the digging around ourselves, until we get to a certain point then all of a sudden, helloo! You have to pay to actually find out if that person IS an actual relative, you have to pay for the birth and death certificates if you want them, the list is endless. If these are on file and we were able to actually either download them to our own computer or print if off straight from the site, why do we have to pay for someone else to do this for us? Also what does it cost to actually print it off? Take into account the paper, ink, electric, 20/30 pence?  Something like that. Also the envelope and postage another 50 pence? So really top wack £1, right? So why do these people charge ‘stupid amount‘, to do this for us, why can we not do it for ourselves? that’s what I want to know.

I tried trace and to get information on my ancestors, I even got as far as my grandparents, then could go no further, even though it advertised that it was a free site, also a well known site I may add, that I had to pay ’ex amount’ to get certain information, so it all came to a halt,  I refuse to pay these people money for what is essentially MY property in the first place. Well it is my family.

Well well, gone off track again, there’s a surprise! I was saying,  we can trace back as far as possible, we will come a stop eventually as the records probably will only go so far back, well actually they do, so it comes to a stop, records only came about at a certain time,  but that does not mean that we did not have ancestors further back than we can see on paper, in our family tree, oh nooo, think about it!

It is said that we all come from the same ‘gene pool’, now I do not know how to take that, as there are different explanations for this, but this is how I see it with my theory, this gene pool has our genetic makeup, ALL of us, right? Even if a thousand ‘people’ emerged from this pool, they all have the same genetic make up, right?  Because it is said this is the beginning of life! And does not matter how many times the population doubled then trebled, and so on, divided, even continents on this earth changing, the ice age, the whole thing of how us human beings came to be as we are now, it does not change the matter that we are related, every single one of us, well? Does not matter how distant the relationship, we are related, if I have got this right.

You are my brother/sister/cousin/ blah blah, you, reading this, my theory on us, as a human being, are related to me.

now this takes me right back to the beginning what I was saying, of what I said about marriage, the thought as I said, I don’t want to even think about, *shudder* so now you know. I think now, I feel like washing my brain In hot soapy water, to clean all this info out, see how you feel When you go home tonight, look at the people you live with, I do not know your circumstances, you could have just been married for all I know, will you look at that person in the same light now? If you live in a house in a large family, will that look the same now? Will you be trying to guess who is where in the scheme of things? I doubt it, because after all this is just my theory. You may fleetingly let it run through your mind, but then it will have ran soo fast, you will not remember it for the dust it leaves behind.

Also, it could be that, because the first lot of people went their separate ways eventually, ended up on different continents, picked up things along the way,  that we ate or drank, breathed in, climate etc, all these things need to be considered here, that affected us on a genetic level, that changed us, because some of us go through life without anything major happening health wise, others do not, some people have diseases passed down by generation, so our genetic make up must have changed, right?

But, if some part of what I said about being related is true, just think,   no matter where in the world you are, you are related to me, now don’t that just fill you with joy? I can promise you that at family gatherings I am funny, full of laughter, ask my step-mother, she said that once you have met me, you do not forget me in a hurry, now I did not know if to take that as a compliment, or an insult, she assured me as a compliment, so you are missing out my lovely cyber cousin/aunt/uncle/sister/brother!

As for my theory here? Who knows, somewhere on it, I may be right.
