washing machines

I left the water in the twin tub machine to show you what is left in the tub on a automatic machine after a wash. There was only sheets and pillow cases in this wash. Some would say that I'm a dirty bastard, that's your choice to judge and criticize. But I put forward the facts and if the washing machine companies  don't like it that is there problem. Its about time they made a good machine that washes clothes and leaves no residue. They can engineer a machine to do this but there old machinery will be useless. Don't know how to design a machine to leave no residue? Ask me.

Electric Jugs

I have just read the reviews for many electric jugs. In my opinion all are substandard at retaining the heat in the water.
The amount of power used can be halved if they insulated the jug. This would make them quieter as well.
The standards set by the reviewers is below standard, That is the amount of electricity to boil one liter of water is always going to be the same what differs is the amount of heat lost during and after the process.
As it stands now stainless steel is out as the amount of heat lost is unacceptable to the point of being dangerous to touch them. Plastic is much more efficient but they all could do much better.
We as consumers need to expect and set higher standards for all goods.

Respect and denial

Some years ago I was invited to a white man's corroboree on a borra ring in Gundagai which I promptly refused. On the day this was to happen I left town and headed for Holbrook some hundred miles to the south all the time the hairs were standing on my back. Shivers invaded my body even though it was warm. I stayed there til dusk and slowly made my way back.
That would be like me going into the catholic church and having a corroboree stamping the floor til the dust rose.
When the sun fell from the horizon the skies above Gundagai lit up like the devils Calderon, Feeling some sort of nervousness which I can not explain even to this day, I was stopped in my tracks so to speak and had to stop the car. Watching from a distance of fifty miles to the south of town I waited til late into the night.  Before the lights dissipated. This was long after the sun had gone and the stars were shining on a cool crisp night. The following day I found my dog dead having been hit with a car I forgot to take him with me. Another dog replaced him and was killed on the exact same spot.
Now this was before I found about my aboriginal heritage, even things from early in my life now start to make sense.
As a child of about four I was playing with deadly brown snake babies with my gentle touch I had no fear. Then there was the time when a wild stallion came to the house yard trying to take the mares. He bolted into the home paddock and stopped inches from me and rared up swinging his hooves about me.
My uncle who was a fantastic horseman could not move the stallion from over me and was so afraid I would have been trampled by this giant of a horse.
Then I am told about what happens to white child who was borne to a black family , they were promptly adopted out.  I was darker than my siblings and was called the black sheep of the family to my face., Also I was told that I had to live up to my surname shit my name was my name. I had to live up to myself, The impossible and ridiculous goals I had set for me.
Since the parting of my parents I have got one phone call in ten years from my siblings, and this was to tell me to ring my adopted cousin as my aunt had died.
Respect and denial has been a part of my life for many years.
This from the "positive one" another name I was called.
I guess that I have now been enlightened and will never look back.

offensive language

offensive language

As we all know Jesus was an educated man, some in life do not get that chance because of the country or the place they live in . Maybe they were poor in money. Here in Australia there was a court case bought against a man with limited vocabulary by the police, The case ran for quite some time as to the use offensive language. The court decided that it was not offensive to use the word phuck spelt with a "F"as this word is in everyday use. This word is :- a noun verb adjective pronoun and all the others.
So to answers.com and others get with the times it is here to stay and stay it will. I personally try not to use it, It is the word for the uneducated or lazy whom have no other way of expressing them selves. It is not illegal in Australia to use this word in public.

Wiki answers Is god new

This has been modified so as not to offend wiki answers but here I will say what I like because I am the boss here.
Who the phuck is this bloke Mikipedia. I have read his online resume and I know the truth! I know you have some extremely dark and weird secrets,But on the surface you are the perfect gentleman. I and God knows different. If you don't like my answers or questions who are you to say that my Answers or Questions are misleading or in his words deliberately providing misinformation. Maybe it is Mikipedia that is bullying and providing misinformation because what he reads is not to his taste and it offends him. I have had personal dealings with a person like you before and I would take my children from your care if you had anything to do with them. More will be revealed in your local news paper in time to come this is my forcast call it a preminition if you like.
This will be posted to http://starshipchurch.blogspot.com/ so as to be available to all who wish to read what I have to say. I will repeat it here "is god new?"
This all came about when I read on google search for the letter "G"
then wikipedia said the following.

History

The letter 'G' was introduced in the Old Latin period as a variant of ⟨c⟩ to distinguish voiced, /ɡ/ from voiceless, /k/. The recorded originator of ⟨g⟩ is freedman Spurius Carvilius Ruga, the first Roman to open a fee-paying school, who taught around 230 BC. At this time ⟨k⟩ had fallen out of favor, and ⟨c⟩, which had formerly represented both /ɡ/ and /k/ before open vowels, had come to express /k/ in all environments.
Ruga's positioning of ⟨g⟩ shows that alphabetic order, related to the letters' values as Greek numerals, was a concern even in the 3rd century BC. Sampson (1985) suggests that: "Evidently the order of the alphabet was felt to be such a concrete thing that a new letter could be added in the middle only if a 'space' was created by the dropping of an old letter."^[2] According to some records, the original seventh letter, ⟨z⟩, had been purged from the Latin alphabet somewhat earlier in the 3rd century BC by the Roman censor Appius Claudius, who found it distasteful and foreign.^[3]
Eventually, both velar consonants /k/ and /ɡ/ developed palatalized allophones before front vowels; consequently in today's Romance languages, ⟨c⟩ and ⟨g⟩ have different sound values depending on context. Because of French influence, English orthography shares this feature.

Now all I did was ask "Is god new"? If there is no"G" then how can there be a god or was his name before this OD! We are talking about the word god nothing else

I knew this was going to happen

The thing is I don't care to be bullied if the following was said then I would not have done anything and reworded my question to is the word GOD new?

After it was all over I get this in my message board,a reasonable and good reason as to what I have done wrong...

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and to provide theirs as legitimate answers to opinion-based questions. (Which you did properly in, "Is there a living God?")

To post a question such as, "Is god new?" and then justify one's answer with a digression into the phonemes that make up the sound 'g-o-d' goes beyond opinion; it attempts to portray one's position as a fact. (Never mind that the Latin word for God, Deus, is still widely used in many languages, including the English word 'deity'.)

And apparently you never bothered to click the link to the cyberbullying policy in my previous message; calling me out, as you've done on both my message board and your own (not to mention your creative way of spelling expletives) is a direct violation of same. You were warned twice; consider this account suspended.

This bloke can not count as well warned once (bullied once) then suspended.

Mr mikipedia could you put your answer to my question on answers.com as I dont have and account.

Easy just open a new account if I choose.

Fresh meat

We in the western world could learn from this including the generosity of the farmer letting him keep the meat.

Drink your bacon

In Australia we buy bacon with that much water in it you can drink it. Like all other meats from the supermarkets all wrapt in nappies to absorb the water.
You know what is real crap "poached bacon". I will have to live on road kill because it is fresher and is'nt full of water. I learnt this from utube channel at

Tracking in the Australian bush was taught to me by my uncle Tiny. I was told to look for something that wasn't there listen for something that made no sound.And to smell for something with no odour. These words still ring loudly in my ears.Then I reads in one of Michael Neils emails this from china.
As it says in the Tao Te Ching:
Look and it can't be seen
Listen and it can't be heard
Reach and it can't be grasped.
Nothings new!

The story of art

Drawn and painted on canvas done
Not right for my look my little one
Burn and glow the doing was fun
Light and burn ashes undone
For to seek perfection life can be one

Bright colours and hues from fiery rains
To the desert at dusk on the mighty plains
Opals colours on birds and birds hues on rock
Take the sand and paint the stock

Camp cooking done with the smells of sound
glowing fire and the blackness abound
Little are big and minute is grand
on the flowing sand of a river in flood

gender insignificant the fleeing sun
Talk is work and the fleeting nun
big is small and the smoking run
let it be as the work was done

Discust

Today I say the most disgusting thing since working at the meat works. A amature fisherman caught a white sand Flathead and had the fish in a dry bucket. He went to the tables where they clean the fish before they take them home. The fish was thrown onto the table where it tried to swim. Then the fellow proceeded to scale the fish alive. I had to walk away before I vomited. Do these people not understand that this sort of cruelty is avoidable and unnecessary. If I go to the boat ramp again I will video tape any cruelty and post on utube for all to see showing the culprits face.

Making an insurance claim

I would strongly advise anyone making an insurance claim to get in contact with there solicitor as one word out of place will void the policy. Insurance policies have a section dealing with legal fees and you can also make this part of the claim and you will be covered. So use the policy as it is worded. The higher the claim the tougher it gets. Your own words can be and will be used against you. That is why they record all dealings with the public, You know that little voice before you get connected "Your call may be monitored and recorded for training purposes". Then you are put threw to a person. Sound familiar...

Belonging

Good to stay where you belong.
Having been up rooted all my life to have a place to call home would be something, It takes years to develop a circle of friends. I know there is some countries that are in termoil and are under persecution and I must admit that this would be a great strain on lifes activities. I personally would like to live in Canada Russia or China. I don't know why but these are the countries that appeal to me. These countries to me seem to be the freest places to be able to do as one likes.But in reality I may have made bad choises. What really makes ones life is the friends that you have and your communities that you have around you.
I know from experiences that people who have come to Australia have had it tough and the ones I have meet and got to know have been a blessing to have known.

The art of work

The product of work can be a magical scene.

Evaluating insurance

Things change over time and economics of insurance change as well. Costs to the consumer of these products are going up with no perceived benefits. Costs of cars and prebuilt kit housing has come down to a point where a total rebuild is in the reaches of of say a three year pay back period. that is the wage of say 80 thousand dollars a year and the all be it small house is in the vicinity of 80 thousand dollars for a kit home placed on your property. The pay back period wold be about four years using one quarter of your income.
Bear in mind that you may not be covered for the calamity that strikes you anyway. Then if you are lucky enough to have this calamity strike and the government declares a national disaster you may be covered by a government hand out.
So how much risk are insurance companies taking? It seams not much as in my case paying for insurance for five decades and making a small claim and then not going threw with the claim because of increased policy costs and fixing the broken window myself and the other damage vandals caused whilst I was not there.
Then all the interest I could have gotten from the premiums plus the premiums would have built several houses.
Then there is the importation of kit houses from china all flat packed and prewired and erected in the same time as it takes to erect a garden shed for the cost of $10.000 for a four bedroom house.
You can get relocatable houses on EBay for similar prices. Then there is the way we use houses where the trend is smaller is better if you are to believe the small house movement.
The younger generation are giving up on home ownership because of costs and we will see a move towards traveling houses and the like. The older generation are going on the road and downsizing leaving large houses hard to sell. Smart young entrepreneurs buying large houses and turning them into duplexes.
Yes things are about to change dramatically.

Home Insurance

What are you covered for? Well not much it seams, It would be easier to tell you what you are covered for, But they are keeping that to themselves and if you try to read the policy you will be in for a shock.
Terms like we do not cover xxxx and yyyyy but if there is a local event we might cover something. They determine weather there is a local event!
If you fail to tell them something like the date or Mrs Jones cat has fleas they wont pay, because pets ain't covered at that time or date.
If it was tomorrow they will cover it but today they wont cover it.
The examples they will cover are so remote from reality they would stop the claim cause you are stretching the meaning of the policy and so are not covered on this day.
What are you covered for I don't know as to make a claim one would have to be creative and not to stretch the imagination to far. For even stretching the imagination could cancel the policy and they have the right to do this at any time so it seams. No don't expect a refund of your policy as it has run its time on cancellation.
Insurance fraudulent claims. This is interesting as you can be charged with making a false claim with penal charges laid against you. Then your policy is terminated as well.
Good luck with your next claim.
I will still be trying to word my claim so as not to void the policy and the claim go threw.
I think I will get a solicitor to do it for me.
Don't have a policy that's OK put a claim in anyway you will probably have more success and they wont cancel your policy as you don't have one.
