@ProudMary On islands you are typically referred to as 'from away' or 'foreigner' or on this island I live on now 'a walk on' because non-islanders who had cottages here would park their car on the mainland and walk onto the ferry because pedestrians are free to ride the ferry, only people in vehicles pay. So I'm a Walk On and I still almost won this election with only 4 years on this island, the next closest was 28 years, then 53 years 56 years, not a bad showing when you think about it. lol In 4 years there may be a lot fewer of the old guard left on the island, they are all in their 70's and 80's so if they aren't dead they may have moved off the island for health reasons, there are no health services on the island.

I cam within 18 votes of winning a council seat and I have only lived on this island for 4 years. One of the biggest factors in an island election is how long have you lived here, so I will take it as a minor victory.

Surfpirate replies on Oct 22, 2018:
@stinkeye_a Personally I find that there is usually something in a dream that triggers me to slip from a vivid dream to a lucid dream but then I have been lucid dreaming for a very long time, since I was a young child. The other thing that can trigger it is a dream that I don't like, something that my mind rebels against and says NO to, that usually kicks me over into a lucid state and I will edit my dreams like a director reviewing dailies, I will back the dream up or jump over a scene I don't like or just cut it out completely. I wish I could be more helpful about how to do this but I have been doing it so long that it is just a normal thing to do in a dream so I am not even sure of how I do it.
I can relate an experience that my younger brother had, a recurring dream where he would fall off a cliff and wake up just before he smashed into the rocks hundreds of feet below. It was really a problem and he was barely able to sleep at all so he asked my advice and I told him that the next time it happened he should just spread his arms out like a plane and fly. So he kept telling himself this each night before he went to bed and sure enough the dream came back and he remembered to spread his arms and fly. Since that point he has had a lot of flying dreams, he loves dreaming and flying in his dreams. Perhaps something similar will help you the next time you have a dream with your grandfather in it.

The really odd thing about it was that I was there to sit in on the counting of the paper ballots and I had supporters of mine drive over and wait outside to find out the results because they wanted change, they were very disappointed that I lost and thanked me for running and shook my hand. By contrast, the incumbent who won with twice as many votes as I got, couldn't sit in on the counting and needed a scrutineer to do it for him, when he won he was alone with the scrutineer and the only one who congratulated him on his win was myself, no supporters at all, none of the people who rallied to make sure that he stayed in were there to congratulate him or thank him for running the race. I know the deal he was offered because I turned it down from the same people that got him in, the same people who were willing to cut him loose because he is getting too old and incompetent.
I'm more than a little jaded and I've been around the block a lot of times but this is the only thing that really disappoints me about the outcome.

While I can see that there are cultural similarities I don't know that Canada would want to take on some of the baggage, let alone the debt of the US. Here's a better idea, fix your own problems or apply for landed immigrant status just like everybody else.
Surfpirate replies on Oct 20, 2018:
@shockwaverider It's more of a French Canadian thing, like Poutine. If you haven't visited Montreal I highly recommend it but definitely practice your french before hand, the basics at the very least. The most beautiful women in Canada are found in Quebec, Newfoundland is a close second.

@Condor5 A neighbour of mine is a retired sniper with the Canadian Armed Forces and he can tell you some stories about the shit the top brass gives our snipers, two of them were written up for insubordination by some jerk officer after camping out for 3 days with no support on top of a mountain and providing cover fire and clearing a mountain pass in Afghanistan for US troops, pisses me right off but tip of the hat to the US military who stood up for our Canadian snipers. The fact of the matter remains that if Canada ever merged with the US it would only ruin Canada and it wouldn't improve the US much if at all, you're too programmed to change to thinking like Canadians. Just kill off the Jesus freaks and stay on your side of the border, try not to bomb us by mistake.

I like a lot of big band and swing music from the 30's and 40's as well as modern tunes and classical music from the 1700's is still as current as ever.

@Umbral Right on the money but many supposed freethinkers don't bother to check out the facts and more importantly the source of those facts. Portugal makes the most positive case imaginable for decriminalizing all drugs, even the opiates. Some people are just never going to get that but fortunately calmer heads have prevailed, I was calling for this back in the 70's and everybody thought it would a done deal by the end of the last century. I guess we were a little optimistic.

Surfpirate replies on Oct 19, 2018:
The first part of the dream, up to the point that the car overshot the exit ramp wasn't too long, in dream time perhaps 15 minutes to half an hour but then I took control of the dream for a bit when I changed the driving position on the car, then there was a skip in the dream where we wound up at the mill and I met my wife there, then we shopped for what seemed like another half hour or so. Total it was probably an hour of dream time so maybe 5 or 10 minutes of real time in the waking world, time tends to be compressed when you are dreaming. It did wake me up however and I didn't really get back to sleep which is probably why I remembered it so well.

Extremists seem to be the problem, regardless of political leanings, fanaticism has no party. I wouldn't put too much faith in Trump's rhetoric about the left wing mobs trying to take over the country by force, as the far right enjoys pointing out, they have most of the guns. Nobody has more guns than the US military, so the point is moot.

The salvage value was minor so the develop felt the good will earned was more important than the salvage and offered it to the fire department.
Many of the churches I saw in South America had building materials stolen from Inca temples, in fact many were built atop the foundations of the old Inca temples, so religions are no kinder when it comes to destroying works of art.

@Nukdookum Well I am certainly not advocating that we maintain buildings that celebrate evil, except for a few as reminders of the dangers of slipping into the ways of evil, places like Dachau Prison for example serve as a poignant reminder of the evils of genocide. I built large structures in my career, mostly luxury hotels and some of these were quite beautiful but they had an economic life expectancy for between 50 and 100 years, meaning that at the end of that time period the structures would no longer be considered the highest and best use of the land so would be subject to demolition and replacement. Churches and mosques are simply buildings and while some of them are quite beautiful, most are not exceptional enough to be maintained indefinitely so why not take them down, certainly they serve less and less purpose each year and they occupy valuable real estate while paying no taxes.
Here's an example of one of my projects and it has an economic life projected to be 75 years.

@Secular_Squirrel Aspergers is a disorder be it developmental or personality, I am not about to split hairs but I do hope you realize that my statement was not a criticism, quite the contrary. Most people function at a much lower level, both intellectually and emotionally.
I am not here to argue or change an opinion, just offer an alternative viewpoint. I've found that it helps if you try to dumb things down a bit and try not to expound too much on concepts that I might find interesting but which just either go over the heads of others or make their eyes roll back in their sockets. It's better for me and it is better for them if I KISS when discussing things with others for the most part, although you may have already noticed that this group tends to be an exception to that rule.

Back in the mid 90's I had a neighbour Gerta who lived two doors down who was the sole survivor for her family from the camps, she said I reminded her of her little brother Alex who had died in Dachau a few months before the war ended. Several times she came to my door in the middle of the night, crying and calling out for Alex, she would be drunk and distraught so I would get up and put on some clothes, walk her back home and sit with her for a bit over a cup of tea until she calmed down enough to go to bed. A nice old woman who had managed to survive the horrors of those evil days, she told me that when she was training for the JDF it was an old SS officer who was now in the French Foreign Legion who trained her how to fight, she hated him but she said he taught her things that would keep her alive later in the fighting in Israel. She didn't like to talk about Israel as she had moved to Canada in the 80's because she saw Israel going the same way as Hitler's Germany had when she was just a girl.
Gerta had a German saying that translated as 'As we think and as we do, so we see in others too', I'll never forget it and how we make our own world from the perspective we have on life.

She didn't like to talk about Israel as she had moved to Canada in the 80's because she saw Israel going the same way as Hitler's Germany had when she was just a girl.
Gerta had a German saying that translated as 'As we think and as we do, so we see in others too', I'll never forget it and how we make our own world from the perspective we have on life.

Good luck! You will persevere and win! And if you don't... Well fuck them!
Surfpirate replies on Oct 13, 2018:
If I don't win I am afraid we will have all fucked ourselves because the old guard candidates are dreadful, although there could always be a bi-election if one or both of them die of old age.

It sounds like you have a real shot at this. It all comes down to registration and turn out. Do you have an organization in place to get out the vote?
Surfpirate replies on Oct 13, 2018:
The voter list totals about 660 people for my district, it's not that big of an island so getting out the vote is more about motivating people to punch in their PIN # and vote online. There are no party lines here just vote for the candidate you want to be your representative and there are only 4 of us running.

Pansexual sentient being into deep existential conversations, seeing the beauty that the universe has to offer, sensual romanticism promoting a deep emotional connection, and a love of intense stimulation of the senses. Seeks like minded partner.

Humans do make great pets for advanced life forms capable of interstellar travel and if they pee on the floor you can always eat them, delicious but a bit bony. ;)

It's about freaking time the Dr. was in. I'm out of Moscow Mule mixers, but I have white wine, Italian cream, and a variety of small tomatoes. What should I do?
Surfpirate replies on Oct 13, 2018:
@Stacey48 In a pinch you can use that lime juice in a plastic squeeze container but just use Triple Sec in that case.

Probably all those old pin up girl pics is what did it. Posting hot pics on a dating site where many are cruising to hook up and fuck their brains out is just not the sort of image that this site is trying to project because ????? wtf????
