those were the days, I have to suggest that you buy this DVD, it's worth the coin as it takes you back in time to a really wonderful place; that and it's a full 225 minutes of running time.

If other people could read our private thoughts off of our foreheads
then we would ALL have to learn to think differently.

I might just miss it. Dang. I'll be 75 in 2030. Maybe not. BTW. Did anybody catch Betty White's new show? Hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud, not just some internet catch phrase.

Next Great Depression? MIT researchers predict ‘global economic collapse’ by 2030

A new study from researchers at Jay W. Forrester's institute at MIT says that the world could suffer from "global economic collapse" and "precipitous population decline" if people continue to consume the world's resources at the current pace.
Smithsonian Magazine writes that Australian physicist Graham Turner says "the world is on track for disaster" and that current evidence coincides with a famous, and in some quarters, infamous, academic report from 1972 entitled, "The Limits to Growth."
Produced for a group called The Club of Rome, the study's researchers created a computing model to forecast different scenarios based on the current models of population growth and global resource consumption. The study also took into account different levels of agricultural productivity, birth control and environmental protection efforts. Twelve million copies of the report were produced and distributed in 37 different languages.
Most of the computer scenarios found population and economic growth continuing at a steady rate until about 2030. But without "drastic measures for environmental protection," the scenarios predict the likelihood of a population and economic crash.
However, the study said "unlimited economic growth" is still possible if world governments enact policies and invest in green technologies that help limit the expansion of our ecological footprint.
The Smithsonian notes that several experts strongly objected to "The Limit of Growth's" findings, including the late Yale economist Henry Wallich, who for 12 years served as a governor of the Federal Research Board and was its chief international economics expert. At the time, Wallich said attempting to regulate economic growth would be equal to "consigning billions to permanent poverty."
Turner says that perhaps the most startling find from the study is that the results of the computer scenarios were nearly identical to those predicted in similar computer scenarios used as the basis for "The Limits to Growth."
"There is a very clear warning bell being rung here," Turner said. "We are not on a sustainable trajectory."

some of you might know that I recently adopted a pitbull terrier and that I've been a dog owner for many many years.
It's funny owning a dog with a tail now though as I consider over the years that every one of my dogs have been bobtailed breeds, springer spaniels, rottweiler and our family poodles. Suddenly I recall Paulie my very first dog (and w/a tail) a Dachshund which my folks decided to give away soon after the birth of my sister.
I was only 2 yrs old but I do remember saying goodbye to him and crying, I just don't remember doing what my folks told me I did next.......
I walked into my sisters room and looking @ her laying in the crib I admonished her w/a mighty "You're di-gusting!!!" and then stomped away.
I don't think I've ever really forgiven the bitch.
Dip I wipe my ass after my poop?
