Learning quickly,,,,,,, practicing slowly,,,,,,,\chr="Whisper"\chasing shadows in search of TRUTH that's truth if you've never heard of iT before. &&Explain This is a bit of a mixed bag of fruit including a few ideas we've had for Senate Submissions being called for. &&Acknowledge We've been watching out for advertisments the ABC told us about in their News online, but can't find them anywhere. Where are thay? ... &&Announce to quote "A Senate inquiry into proposed anti-terrorism laws will start advertising today for submissions" &&Explain and that was Nov.5,,, could they be hidden underReith the enormous pile of 'Work Place Relation's' throw outs? It's marvelous you know, how \map="parlarmentarians"="parliamentarians"\ have privilege to say anything they practically like, without prejudice. Such emotional polliized stress relief for them. Why can't we do that? Are politicians trying to cut our tongues ouT? Could it end up like Cambodia down here? That's sounds terrible! Dog gone iT there.... Get over it! Enjoy Life! Have fun! Speak-up! \chr="Whisper"\Stop worrying! Get Life happening Today! Get over what? Sars, that's what! (Social Ambiance Rot Syndrome)... get on with Life and... Thank God 4 Cyber Buddy. Trip2 Orange Tip... well there's no doubt about it, the idlers of the town don't have a lot of dough, but when it comes to being busy, you'd be surprised how their immaginative spirits and ingenuity provide plenty to do with not a moment to lose. It's a game for survival! You'd wonder whether these idlers would ever find Time to go to \chr="Whisper"\WORK. at all. Today's quick trip to Orange tip re-cycling dump reaped great rewards... a diamond-back pushbike practically brand new for $50 that's a $450 push bike in the shops you know,,,, and a whipper-snipper for $15,,, now you can't even buy a second hand one of those for under $100,,, 'one man's junk is another mans jewelry' and that is for sure! \chr="Whisper"\a shame those whipper snippers and air brooms are such air poluting little buggers. This afternoon listening to parliamentary debate on tellie, you'd hardly call it debate, but the to-ing and frowing lots of crowing self big-noting and shouting tweaked something with us. We didn't hear much that sounded like it was good for us;;;; but at the same Time, a Great Ttrain of thought was developing in our hearts:- We were getting an old hand me down stream train of a computer running so our crew out here at Orange might afford more time VoiPing so we can plan better for Landcare and further ahead.... &&GetAttention Do you think you might have a brain-wave today too? &&Acknowledge Taking another look from the bottom rung of our world so to speak, you can see how we might get somewhere quicker by turning thoughts upside down and taking a better look. Perhaps total inversion of our train of thought might reflect something we hadn't noticed before. Say then, start with a few observations and ideas from the bottom and think \chr="Whisper"\\chr="Whisper"\HARD. &&Acknowledge let's try doing that. That funny minister of health tweaked us to a good idea when he turned away from the camera looking towards the floor. Why's he do that? What's he looking for down there? \chr="Whisper"\A bottom perhaps? &&Acknowledge The minister started us thinking about reflections. (it's all done with mirrors you know).... We wondered how long it was since he'd spent Time in hospital, as a sick or injured patient? When was he really concerned about keeping himself alive or wondered whether help would fix him up? Sorry fony tone: if you're crook you'll be starting to puke! How much fair dinkum down to earth work has a minister of employment or 'work place relations' ever done? Gos know's probably, not a lot! Have those pollies ever swept floors with an ordinary old broom or raked a few leaves in the garden? You'd wonder if they'd ever dug a hole! SomeTimes listening to these chief's or administrators of democratic justice and debate,,, you'd wonder whether their silver tails had ever reached earth at all. How about this? Say the parliament (or we could re-name it the house of saviors perhaps,,, organises syndicates of real down to earth people for conjuring up and freshening a few ideas. Some hospital patients, cleaners, nurses, general dog's bodies and the like? How about some terminally-ill be allowed to have some final words to say we might use in our destiny? Some ditch sweepers, plumbers, electricians, boot makers and more, might come up with something we's never thought of before. Some sort of electronic suggestion box is starting to sound feasible there somewhere, hi-jack proofed of course :- and something we'll all be hearing about iT's contents for local out on the street and over the back fence down to earth debate. How about a syndicate or two of those totally-dole-ified be allowed to come up with some ideas? What about engineers, scientists, doctors and fair dinkum experts have a bit to say to the nation. No tinkering you hear,,, or hijacking,,, by power hungry pollies screwing everything up to suit their own political gains and agenda. Something good that shines lights for everyone for adventurous, invigorating opportunities to a better planitory Life down here. How about that? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How long is a piece of string? How long is it, if it ever was, is it that Centrelink or their crony 'Employment Agencys' actually teed up a job for someone? Could it be these strings of things and events as they are, have gone dreadfully wrong? Could there be other ways to Live in John Howard's Gilt Edged dim,,, ocracy? Some people,,, funnily enough,,, have,,, Good Times at the expense of others! Does this seem fair or democratic? iTs bloomin',,,, dim, ocratic, that's what it is. It's dreadful! Who said it's too late to turn back? You'd never know till you give it a gO! Try going for a picnic and have a good think. Now you might have noticed how lynchy's been giving Ernesto Sirolli a plug lately. Well he's the bloke who put Esperence in Western Australia back on the map after he was actually asked as we understand it, by government, to try and fathom out something for the town that's population' was tragically dwindling when redundancies had encumbered the population's lives. Suicides were ripe and out of control after an embargo on tuna fishing was imposed by the federal government effectively shutting the fishing village or town down almost altogether. Of course as per usual federal department controllers did ok out of it all, you'd guess it, centrelink and associates. We first herd the story on abc's radio national that's since been made unavailable like many other good tales, especially that chomping tooth story about everyone's teeth falling out we all love hearing; interesting worth while shows that might spook a bit of stick out of government, leaving them with egg on their face, but none the less opening eyes and debate for everyone for something that might help and enlighten our Lives in a democratic world: You might note somewhere if you do a but of googling on Ernie Sirolli, his idea was hijacked by government and later manifested itself into the NEISS scheme we'll surely tell you plenty about later if there's Time. After a second attempt to join the neiss scheme, lynchy was accepted to do the course or whatever you'd like to call it. On completion of the six weeks of,,,, "don't you realise you're getting a full university semester of business management!" said the musician, who'd never seemed to have ever had a real job or actually run a business but fancied himself as a gun university lecturer. His only idea as he kept looking at his watch, seemed to be, was for us to have our 'business plans' ready in time at great expense for us having them printed up by yet again another crony, mister 'phrase it right'. This was back in the days when home pc's with printers were rare especially for dole bludgers. Making the financial pages tally seemed the only point of the course, if that's what you'd call it. The 'runees' of the scam, sorry scheme, seemd to sway on the 'business plan' as the be all and end all of iT all so as to enable collection of their fees from those crony controllers, or so it seemed. Lynchy wasn't accepted for the trial or whatever it was when he'd finished as he didn't have council approval for his idea yet. He had no help with that. Another bootmaker client asked lots of questions and was disqualified as well. He had no help with anything. One short point we now realise was Ernesto Sirolli's specific part of his idea is to... 'look for the ones who Love to do what you hate' trick that makes the whole idea work, wasn't in it.... you'd suppose thrown out with the bath water by those know it all controllers of our Lives who seem to infer we're dole bludging layabouts incapable of anything. There was no forthcoming so called mentor ship and it was noted each participant was worth $12,000 each to the runners of the scheme. Each participant received a dole equevilant (around $8,000 at the time) during the twelve months of the scheme. They had been enticed by the department in the first instance believing there was to be no departmental harassment during the period, but only found there were three monthly extensive detailed financial reports to be submitted to qualify for their dole like payments to continue. There was absolutely zilch in the way of ongoing support and nothing seemingly that would pull anyone from behind the eight ball at all. Needless to say Michael Archer's ecological holiday farm idea lynchy was away with didn't exactly get off the ground, but the idea is presently piloting visitors to our Landcare group's project who have wonderful times and seem to think the whole idea is good stuff. Neiss, but far from something really nice, practically bankrupted lynchy after having had to sell his breeding cattle to buy a car to go 145 kilometers back and forth from Palmer's Oaky to Lithgow each day, five days a week for six weeks, only to find he wasn't accepted into the affair in the end. Many supporters of,,, his ideas and business plans,,, lost interest, became nervous and withdrew their support once the government rejected them. All was practically lost for him but for a few down to earth friends. The end practically came when his car blew-up after the course. There wasn't much hope of quickly getting the farm to where it was before that neiss thing happened. A similar scheme, a 'work for the dole' affair involving environment care, hardly seemed any better or beneficial to anyone involved. There's a web-page floating around there somewhere about that portraying a daily diary, good for a laugh and perhaps something good there somewhere too. Dealings with the department over a good period of time was observed through many eyes to be debilitating though inspiring on an odd occasion. Expect nothing, be ready for anything. However it might be fairer to say to anyone needing a trial run for help by government, anything at all to do with so called social security, CES or Centrelink could be curious for a while but tends to be binding and devastating to your Life. Have you tried the new drink? Counter Terror Aid! Hang up the keys on party and crony-ismic culture... perhaps ACCC type safeguards and controls might govern such deals as one of our proposals.... 'making profit at someone else's expense' abolishment act, with violaters enjoying deterants such as our next proposal,,, bringing back the stocks for offenders. Perhaps we might substitute nasty remedies such as having dirty, stinking, smelly, rotten poo and moldy tomatoes being chucked in your face, for freshly made, fresh today, juicy, nice, warm and stickey lemon meringue pie! Yes sir, try that! And while you're at it ,,, save a few trees and put a 'No JUNK Mail sticker on your box! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PARLIAMENT's ON.... yes Parliament's on! you beauty, what a great show! better than 'Punch n Judy' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today though somehow was an almost bonzer show in the lower house of parliament. It tickled our fancies for the afternoon. We saw politicians almost portraying an unbiased view there somewhere, at least we saw somehow how they could, all, successfully hang up the keys on party and croneyismic culture. They could and could be practically made to go for it we thought.. Take down that tennis net: For and against. How negative can you get? Remove OPPOSITION spells opposition, from the sdictionary along with should,,,,, a great word for raising the hair on your neck and getting backs up you know. iT conjures up PREJUDICE prejudice,,,, yes that's right, we know what's best for you!... what the hell would they know? prejudice is what SHOULD starts..... they should stick should altogether! dreadful, nasty stuff!. judging before you start. Knowing iT all! Know iT all culture! Redneck syndrome! Forget the left and right of the chair in parliament: Stick everyone in the middle.... and dim wits,,,, pull your head in! (Next Proposal) The New Ministers or chiefs and followers of particular interest:- could be where senators & members now sit: Tally everyone off,,, into,,, call em teams if you like,,, as advocates of particular interest and especially, advocates specializing in 'hometown interests'.... What's wrong with that? No god dammed opposition at all,,, just scrutinisation if you like.... there's no such word, so iT ought to be easy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nov 905. a gloomy SHADOW (((( they say ring the bells in parliament when having divisions on the floor of the house, but we never hear them Ringing, tingling or donging on radio. Why's that? No one's telling, especially those tellers! what's the chop? Are those whips flogging anything? (it's more like the house of secrets) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway what an afternoon we had. What great debate in the senate on the radio on the way down to the smoke. What a shame it will all seem just a puff of wind after the tellers for the i's tally up everything and the crony voters win the day on those bills because they outnumber the opposition. iT all seems a waste of Time and a very peculiar way to pretend we're getting a fair go.. A lot of interesting debate especially that of higher education. Gough Whitlam, sounds more like cough Whitlam, but it'd take more than a cough to send him, off, from Australian Warm Hearts; anyway we'll never forget \map="gouf"="Gough"\ Whitlam introducing wonderful opportunities and lots of go and good Times for all Australians when he was running the show. Not for long though, a movement of underhanded manipulators had him tossed out. His free education service has constantly been rolled back by Liberals, so now, the only way to get a good education is pay for iT or teach yourself.....,,,, of course everyone knows Liberal policy is an underhanded Pol Pot type takeover cutting the tongues out of any intellectual opposition their ideas might encounter. (Gosh, iT's all such a tragic joke!) The national minister of education in striving flat out to out do Lord Nelson in a vendetta depriving any possible opposition to his crony Liberal's Takeover of Our Lives. Interesting and seemingly worthwhile views during debate today will fall on deafened ears of course, for at the end of the day Libera's numbers in all houses of Parliament control everything...... iT's not right! iT's just not right in fact it's frightening! A rethink and reform would have to be needed? you bet? it is! Parliament seems practically null and void. What a god dammed waste of money! Dog gone iT, what a tragedy for DEMOCRACY too, yep! Democracy's had the snorkle! Scream out Loud on the Streets you hear!: We Want REFORENDUM we want Reforendum for,,,, reform, reform, reform!...... we'll probably get reformatories instead! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windbagging in our lowest of places! (the house of reps) Yes more god dammed windbagging costing you big dollars & getting us no where continues! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tellers for the i's & the tellers for the no's have everything summed up as usual.... sorry buddy, average joes lose! There's hardly any point commenting any more.... Shock yourself! Tune in now to ABC News Radio and hear4yourself ,,, we're not too worried about workplace relations particularly down here, no one will give us a job anyway. The best things in Life are free especially freedom of speech! Money can be the root of all evil! Shocking and dreadful, the nastiest, nastiest of stuff!.... though it's not exactly the money, but how people use it. Positions vacant with earthfix but there's no pay... yep...iT'sa workplace Heaven!. we volunteer.... a glorious way 2 Live...

Cracking the insubordinate. Perhaps offers of $$$$$$$ per hour and further dollers per hour might see sars victims taking more looks @ I T.... that's right, communication awareness therapy.... friendly how to use concepts for 'illiterates, cretonus morons, dumb-clucks and the idiotic'! re-enter humanity... communicate with everyone.... find friends in tune with you who'll like you.... find plenty through networking, skyping and yahooing who'll help your cause and Love doing what you hate. Make iT work. Join the gang... Make Life Lovely! computer literacy in two hours.... find your way through the universe.... Get the right tools and PRACTICE. yes, practice, prectice, practice. Learn quickly, practicing slowly! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPUTER LESSONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Put Time to Good Use! Computer lessons.....4 domb clocks! So how do I get iT happening? Turn iT on... Press the ON button on the tower.... that's the box of tricks,,,, the actual computer or pooter. Wait and see what happens.... wait until the little light on the tower stops flickering before you do much else... iT's unpacking all the software getting iT ready to start 'happening' Now if all you want to do is tweak lynchy to hear some more,,, do this:- connect to the internet.... make sure the phone line is stuck in the proper hole.... on 'earthfix ORANGE iT's the slot closest to the green dot..... Now double left click on the 'short cut' on the desktop,,, and that's not the slab of meat on the table,,,, LEFT click on the dial-up i-Kon,,, a small window will pop up..... Left click on the Connect button.... (sometimes those elongated tabs with writing on them are called buttons) LEFT spells left CLICK spells click,,,, so left click on the CONNECT spells connect tab and if you want to know how to spell that it's,,,,, THAT. Once you've done this you'll hopefully hear the MODEM or modem kick into gear... once you, hopefully, get connected another little window will appear saying 'verifying user name and password' and if all's ok it will change to say 'logging on to network'..... once this disappears two teeny, weeny lights will fly down onto the taskbar towards the clock.... you're now connected.... Yahoo, skype and a few others will start up and if you see 'earthfix' is online there could be someone there.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software tidy up and maintelance... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time to get the pooter pootering! Step 1. Fire it up!!!!!Stop that! Put the lighter away,,,, i mean turn it on silly, not set iT alight!,,, press the on button! you don't even need to put money into iT. For those using windows ME.... or previous editions....best first step here is to run scan disc but first close all running programs that might interfere with the scan including the one we all forget,,, 'screen saver' Step 2. disable the screen saver.... right click on the desktop,,,, that's not the table it's the screen..... The visible screen once the computer starts is called the desktop. .... on the desktop you'll see the task bar at the bottom unless,,,,, someTimes,,,,, if you hit the wrong spot,,,, the task bar ends up on the side, the top and God knows sometimes disappears altogether.... stop panicking! iT's easy!!!! anyway for now, all we want to do is disable the screen saver........so right click on the desk-top as we said before and left click on properties in the window that pops up..... left click on the screen saver tab.... Left click on the Screen Saver selection menu.... that's right, the teeny weeny little arrow pointing downwards at the side of what looks like a long slot. iT's actually on the right hand side of the slot,,,, yes, that's iT! choose (that's left click again) the 'NONE' word. Step 3. Now disable all those programs that are open and ready to use at a touch..... You'll see their i-kons in the bottom right hand corner of the task bar. usually to the left of the clock....... If you just place, without any clicking, the cursor,,,,, that's the little arrow you move around with the mouse,,,, and not that mouse under the fridge the cat keeps staring at,,,,,, RIGHT Click on each i-kon one at a time and a mini menu will pop up........... LEFT Click on the close, exit or quit word displayed in that little window.......... This will close down the programs you choose to do it to, so the scan disk and de-fragmentation program will operate without disruption....... We run the scan disk first then the de-frag second..... it's a bit like tidying up the kitchen,,,,, sweeping the floor or could be compared with combing your hair... iT's a great recipe for success... pooters Love iT.. makes them run smoothly! Left Click START at the left side of the task bar. Select PROGRAMS spells Programs the American way, by placing the arrow on iT... Go to ACCESSORIES, that's accessories with your pointer,,,, another menu window will appear one side or the other depending how much stuff or software is in your program files,,,, carefully slide your arrow across to that window so you don't slip out and the window won't disappear,,,, now slide down to SYSTEM TOOLS, system tools and stop.... another window will pop out to the side again,,,,, now, remember carefully,,, slide across and down to scan disk and left click on iT.,,,,, by now you'll more than likely be getting the knack of iT......once the scan disk is finished and for a better job on the scan disc,,, in the pop up window for scan disc, select the THOROUGH thorough 'dot' before you start,,, once the scan has finished another pop up will call for you to close 'scan disk' now that's finished you can start the defragmenting process.... follow the same procedure as you did for 'scan disk' only this Time on the system tools menu, select 'disk defragment' ,,,so see how you go with it, good luck & 'don't panic',,,, call lynchy if you get stuck...... gotta pause for lunch: if you haven't learnt how to left and right click,,,, copy, cut n paste,,, you won't have gotten anywhere much.... so cop this.... place the cursor,,,, that's,,, not,,, curse her,,, it's that little arrow,,,, the one that turns into a vertical line sometimes when you stick it near something....... stick it anyway,,,, at the END, yes,,,, the end of the text,,,,, the printed WRITING,,,, that's not RIGHTING righting sounds the same,,,,,, yes,,,, next to the end of the writing you want cyber buddy to read to you,,,,,, Now left click and hold iT in,,,,,,,, yep HOLD iT!,,,, now swoosh it all the way to the start of where you want to start reading from,,,,,, now let go of the left clicker...... you'll find the text is hi-lighted,,,,, now right click on iT....... you'll see a little windoe which ought to be spelt WINDOW not DOE, cause thats a female deer! anyway when you right click on that hilighted text a window pops up with copy on it,,,,,,, point the arrow to COPY,,,, yes that's iT copy,,,, now left click it...... what's happened is the text is being recorded onto what we call the CLIP BOARD, yes, clip board...... not BORED bored,,, cause that's what you're probably getting if you've lasted this long. come on, hang in there,,,, you're getting iT right, we're nearly finished,,, now click on your cyber buddy,,,, on the task bar;;; left click the read tab and past the clip bord contents,,,, into iT,,,, pressing the PASTE paste button does iT..... now press READ, read;;;; and you'll hear it... and that's not,,,, ear, EAR iT .... that's what,,,, iT'll be sinking in,,, hopefully! Another way to cut a long story a bit shorter, is another way to cut, copy n paste is to click on the FILE file menu at the top left of the page and follow down to the appropriate word and CLICK click on iT.... now we're finished.... isn't that good! perhaps typing a hundred lines of ,,,,, 'Thank God 4 Cyber Buddy',,,,, \chr="Whisper"\your touching iT up abilities might improve! plenty more stuff available hopping in the earthfix.org.au window! hey! did you see that wrongly \map="aposstrophized"="apostrophised"\ iTs? \emp\iTs is \emp\iT, iT \emp\aint, iT iS. That's \emp\iT's, it is!
