Little Known Facts

Thanks

 

Tesla Coil:- Named after Croatian (some say Serbian), inventor and genius, Nicola Tesla, who pioneered A.C. current systems (as in the electric power you get from the household sockets), A.C. motors; dynamos; and hundreds of other inventions - most way ahead of his time, and some still advanced for the 21st century.

Tesla Coils:- Are ultra-high voltage coils (usually at very low amperage, if you want to live), that produce multiple H.V. sparks and corona discharge (similar to lightning, viz. Dr. Frankenstein movies, lol). My little one is pretty safe, although your hand does tingle a little. Much larger versions can produce millions of volts.

E.G. A Small home-built Tesla Coil.

that is pretty cool Phantom

 

1) I love movies with a strong emotional undertone
1a) I usually cry during them

2) I am bipolar, OCD and borderline MPD

3) I write a blog chronicling the transition of a transgendered person very close to me.


I can't really think of much else that you all don't know about me...... I am usually a very open peroson about me and my life

it's a whole lot easier when you look up the walkthrough on youtube kesLOL

 

£120 fine and a slap round the head form my mum for getting my name in the local paperLOL

 

Wow, Thats impressive!

 

Thanks its not that impressive not like it was University Degrees. Now the people here that help fix computer there knowledge is impressive.

 

I bet you know a whole lot more than I do LOL Its always impressive when people go and learn new things to challenge themselves

 

LOL I just call it me being lazy it was work or school if I wanted to stay living with my parents and I picked school. I like to learn stuff and I was so use to the school life so why not. LOL

 

Having visited some men's restrooms in the past (don't ask.......just know the line for the women's at gigs is ridiculous), I can understand this......

 

Done that!!rolleyes

 

I see, you built that one?

 

OR - coming home news years eve and can't get your key in the door :wave

 

Well at least your honest LOL I would love to go to school.

roflmao

sad to say yes I have but I was like 12 on some camping/field trip thingy, theres nuthin like trying to balance your self while your at it..rolleyes

 

Besides being inspirational, you're also modest nashnwo0

 

LOLMuch as I enjoy the odd camping trip, I do tend to pull in my city life comforts...a small, portable, camping "loo" is a must if anyone invites me along...one type is where your "personal effects" go straight into a dug hole, then you cover up the hole and transfer the "loo" to another site for the next "spent penny" Oh Lord, don't believe I've added to these commentsrolleyes

 

Yeah well I tried a similiar line, and check out the response I got:

# 1 Possibly - If you ever meet my good girl, let her know I still care.

<shrug> I guess some people need to work things out for themselves.

 

nothing like going to law school

 

I dunno, doing that outside is strictly for the four legged fury creatures, imo. (And no, a hairy drunk, crawling around on his hands and knees, doesn't count. LOL ). Maybe I'm a 'girly-boy', as Schwarzenegger would say, but I'm fussy where my bodily functions go.

Not that particular unit. I just got lazy, and got that pic. from the net. Mine's got a plastic bubble enclosure thingy around it, so I don't give anyone a premature heart attack, seeing high voltage sparks zapping around them. Though it's not a bad party trick, I'll admit.

True that. It's neither fair nor correct to judge everyone by your own bad experiences. That's like being too scared to go outside of your house because there is some bad things/crime out there. It's not the fact that we've had bad experiences that we should measure the world, but how we learn and adapt from them.

I don't get to see my kids at all. I would have more reason to be negative than most, trust me, but I refuse to let other people's bad decisions and actions screw me up with negativity and resentment.

Maybe it's a cliché, but life does tend to reflect back on the attitudes we project. I've been down the negative and depressed road before. Sometimes still have to remind myself. But we have to move on and adapt to our current situation. The healing may never be 100%, but at least life goes forward, hopefully.

Oh yeah – Another quirk of mine. Sometimes I go into little rants, or outflow of ideas, or whatever you want to call them. I guess that’s not such a ‘Little Known Fact’, LoL.

 

Before doing law, I attended night classes after work for computing and business courses...had problems with attention and retention then being so tired:zzz...so I have a good idea of what you've achieved. And by the way, college (TAFE) and similar level diplomas are held in good stead as a uni degree in Sydney anyway.

 

Um...what's "OCD and borderline MPD"? I'm not familiar with those acronyms.

p.s.
Seen guys moved to tears at movies, so you're not alone there

 

Yeah I heard that but I wouldn't dare touch Uni. :heli I know my limits LOL A Uni. from Sydney always comes to the college I went to to recruit students. In fact tomorrow is my Graduation for the Computer one so I'm going to head off :zzz

 

Guess it's my turn, let's see...

1. I'm nuts about SciFi, but more real science the better. Fantisy is just to fill the spaces between the decent books. In my 20's I'd go through about 5-20 books a week, nowdays it's around 3-5.

2. I've raised 3 kids, 2 girls starting at 14 and 16, and 1 boy starting at 9. I took over raising them when my brother died. Never been married.

3. I stay depressed. I'd say it's causial, my mom died over a year ago, and me and my brother were very close. No danger of hurting myself though, too many people depend on me. If not for family I would at risk for suicide.

4. I love my work, but hate my job. I am a superior technician, but jobs are hard to find, unless you can work 2nd shift. With kids, not possible. So I operate the machines I used to repair.

5. I suck at meeting girls. This is one reason I am still single. Not that I don't want too, but I have too many bad habits, like saying exactly what I think. I am not the man you want to ask "Do I look fat in this?", unless you really don't.


There you go, all my dirtly laundry exposed. I'm a very social person, which is one of the reasons I became a Mason, and have joined quite a few clubs.

@Phantom
I love tesla coils, maybe you can include real pics of yours sometimes.


TMI?

 

Whoohooo! Grad Day! Wonderful. Congrats and enjoy!

Cheers

LS

 

Re #1: You find the time to read?!

Re #2: Truely amazed at this...shame there ain't a lady friend/wife to complete the picture. But then you never know what the future holds

Re #5: Don't believe you really "suck at meeting girls"...reckon you only think you do. As for "saying exactly what I think", so you think you're the only guy who does this? Ladies, any comments about your partner?LOL

 

When I was younger and healthier I'd lay in bed at night and read by flashlight (tried a lamp, browned a hole in the sheets).

One time the library had gotten a bunch of new books after a long dry spell, so I checked 8 out, and read them that night. Wasn't worth squat in school the next day, and for some reason I went to bed early. But it was good. Real good.

 

That is so cute. Presume it was reading under the sheets. Seen kids in movies do it, but could never figure out why unless parents were strict with bed times and lights out Still cute.

 

Dang Straight! I'm an Air Force Brat, and my dad was a master sargent. Scarred me for life it did.

They knew me well.

LegalSuit, you profile doesn't state either way, but I'm picking clues that you are of the female persuation. If I can be so nosey?

 

Yep. All female and lovin' it too Being a very independent and free spirit, I guess stuff I do (work around house, sports likes, outdoors, etc) can make one wonder if not specified. LOL

 

All you need is this


@ LS - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Multiple perosnality disorder. Wow... and here I just assumed you were a guy... no idea why mind you, just did.


~C

 

I'm speechless. Speechless I say.

<gulp>

I, uhhh

<sweat>

Will you be my friend?

 

roflmao

You silly goose...I thought I was already your friendLOL <at least I thought I was a friend to members in MG...I hope:confused>

 

@CallTaker thanks for clarifying.

LOL...I'm not always sure of all the members here either...I normally figure it out by their posts, avatars or pseudo names. Can't say I'm always right either.

 

That's why I lay out my profile so clear. That picture was fun, I had it taken to tease my mom (worked too!). Basically got the black eye helping another student take his black belt exam. They get quite excited during those particular tests, especially since they have to take on the whole class one at a time, high belts firsts (which is me) working down to newbies. By the time they get to the white belts they can barely keep their arms up, at this stage it is a test of heart.

 

Haha I didnt know that..... but I always wonderedLOL

 

I've talked with other people on here, who couldnt tell (male or female), one of which who thought I was a guy roflmao

 

LOL
Had wondered about the eye, but was being polite by not asking.

Excellent sport...I also like the discipline aspect of it...never have tried it out though.

 

Now I find that hard to believe given by the content of the majority of your posts! I knew you were female from day one!

 

Well, you're not alone, so did I for a while. Ah well, what do I know, anyway.

 

you're not?

 

Here and I thought my SN was a big tip off LOL guess anything is possible.


guess you one of those "special" few who cant tell the difference meit (or should I say batman)

 

psh..

 

@ LS funny I never thought for a min you were other then female

My computer has been down and trying to play catch up here was a real chore

 

Uhhh, Meithed, I get the same thing from you, although your profile doesn't show any clues either. In fact, I think you may have stated it somewhere, but I don't remember where. Where does the name come from anyhow?

So, art thou girly?

I think I understand why folks (women especially) don't want to give out that particular piece of info, given some of the seriously sick folks lurking about. I'm sick in a friendly crazy sort of way, no threat meant or intended. But it does cause some hard feelings when you guess wrong, like I did with one guy whose handle was vaugly feminine. Didn't bother me a bit, since it was totally under his control in the form of the profile (and I always look).

Dymond, I've never had any problem telling your gender, your profile has always made it pretty clear and obvious. The fact your very pretty doesn't hurt either, males tend to pay closer attention than you might think. They use female voices in fighter aircraft because it will get their attention much faster in the clutter and cacophany of other noises and events in the cockpit. I'd say the diamond heart was pretty obvious too.

 

Some advice, if they guarentee a black belt, especially during a time frame (like 6 months), run, don't walk, from the belt mill. They are worse than worthless, they instill confidence that could get you hurt.

A belt is always earned, and it takes time. My personal experience is it takes about a year just to get the basics down, and develop good instincts. A lot of syles will claim they have perfected martial arts, personally I think this is :crap . Everyone is different, the style I've learned teaches to adopt or steal whatever works for you, where it came from isn't that important. My teacher has been known to teach advanced moves to students he thinks would benifit from it. We don't participate in tournaments, they teach a lot of bad habits (this is contriversial), one punch does not end a fight, and size matters (which is another reason everyones personal style varies).

If you ever try it out, shop around. Find a place you are comfortable with.

 

Screen Name, i would imagine ?

Avatars and usernames generally (but not always) make it easy

dyamonds shoe fascination is also a bit of a give-away (if you visit the chat-box)

 

Yes shane, SN=screen name. With some user names or avatars... you just can not tell, unless they have a pic or something you just sit and you wonder.

What me?? like shoes? oh stop yourselfLOL I cant help if cute shoes just jump into my basket at stores:innocent I just dont have the heart to put them back on the shelf, they all need a good home you know

 

I have no problem telling someone I'm female, Its the other stuff I dont want them to know. Im glad its easily understood (geez if you could only see the faces I makeLOL) less questions to answer, I've always hated when people would ask ASL its like geez if I wanted you to know I would tell you. I thought my avi was pretty obvious too but I guess some people pay no attention at all.

 

That's OK, you mentioned it once, and I have a long memory.
