Jump up and down on the mattress because you know it's wrong!)
I KNOW what you were trying to say, Jonny. But it ain't gonna happen. I would have a really, really hard time doing something if I thought it was wrong. And I prefer it that way. IMO, it's disingenious to believe one way and act another. I do my best to keep my actions in line with my beliefs.
If that keeps me in the realm of GND or the Good Girl, so be it.

Me personally wouldn't have you any other way. I don't mean "have" you, I mean want you. I don't mean I "want" you. I mean you are very wantable but...sigh. Point is I like your GND-ness. You were the one wishing (maybe) you weren't so squeaky clean. We'd love ya either way.
I know you knew. I knew you know. Whichever. Anyway, I'm just saying maybe your beliefs might limit your possibilities. What if it really isn't wrong to do these things? Maybe your beliefs could change. Experimentation doesn't make you disengenuous, it makes you curious, adventurous and suchlike. Don't get me wrong. I live as safe an existence as I can muster. But in my time I have been reckless, and stupidly and wrongly so. But I can look back and say at least I know that was wrong, instead of believing it might be.
Do dat make any sense a tall?

Just don't, y'know, experiment with killing people everyone, alright?

Sure, makes sense. But...I don't have to experience wrong for myself to know it's wrong. I can watch others and learn from THEIR experience. That way, I'm not a puppy chasing the its tail around and around. Why get dizzy when I can watch others get dizzy and learn there just isn't any point?

Does this remind anyone else of my "Killing someone you love" concept a while back? Doing something you know is wrong and don't want to do so that you know you could do it again if you ever absolutely needed to. Self mastery.
Ugh, my body's having a hard time re-acclimating to Maryland. Forgive me if I ramble.
So how is everyone?

Ride down from Asgard to the battlefield,
Bringer of the valiant dead who died but never yielded,
Carry we who die in battle over land and sea,
Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla,
Odin's waiting for me.

Hello Hell"s Kitten and everybody.
By the time I get home Imponderables has 85 Posts and it is hard to catch up. So I usually hang back. But I almost got firsties this time.
Curse you Penguin.LOL
Anyway, I will never be to far away. I may pull over once in a while, but the Firefly highway beckons me and I will pop up and shake the tree and watch the apples fall.
I was doing just that when I heard about astronaut Wally Shirra and posted a thread about his death in the Headlines Discussion Forum.
I grew up watching our space program go from a large silver ball called Echo, it was so large you could see pass overhead at night, to watching the first Mercury flight that went straight up and down. It didn't even go into an orbit. They just wanted to know if it would work. Can you imagine sitting in something like that. The Wright Brothers all over again.

Hmm, I go away for 36 hours and all posting seems to stop. Nice to see that people have been kind to me and not left multiple threads to catch up on.
You may now resume posting.

Hey Traveler - it is so good to see you about here again - I rarely get on myownself these days - but when I do I miss you! How's life treating you?
I read James Mitchener's 'Space' a few years ago and loved it!! It is a novelisation of the history of the US space program...
I think it is amazing what humankind can do when it puts it's mind to it and we start working together with a common goal!
Nico!! Hey my "little Aussie hero brother" - sorry about that silly little post - I couldn't resisit!!
Hi Chris - welcome home! I hope you're home on regular leave and not on account of injury or anything negative...
How is everyone? I know it's a long weekend in the 'States... but some folk must be about!! I misses my FFF.net family when I cannot get on!
By the way - I have trouble with my concience over things I say to people... I don't believe I could ever deliberately hurt someone either with words, actions or physically harm them and not feel even worse than if it had been done to me... I know that some of you will find this hard to believe - but I try to live my life "doing unto others... " as it were, and if I do something that hurts them in any sense of the word it really haunts me... even when I know they provoked me! I am not a wimp - I just don't like feeling like I have been manipulated into reacting in a way that doesn't come naturally to me...
Now wanting to do it is entirely another thing...
