This was a campfire about the Russians bombing Georgia.

20. Uh, I've BEEN in a war. And fought Russians, face-to-face. Maybe that colors my opinion, even though it was 36 years ago. That's a long time past, so I probably shouldn't keep in mind the moment I blew the arrogant smirk off that blonde-haired, blue-eyed son of a bitch's face back then in An Loc just after he took my friend's head off with a tank round through the roadblock we'd set up.

So, I concede.

You win.

You'll have better dreams than I will tonight, and you're welcome to them.

I'll go no further with this discussion.

This was a primitive campfire about some movie, "Napoleon Dynamite".

19. Fifteen (1966) was when I lost my "Big Brother" in Viet Nam, and that event changed my life, including being the cause of the pain I suffer. I did have those good days, and am hoping for more.

This was a campfire where the primitives described being shot at, or shooting someone else.

5. UP, I checked in for just a minute and saw this, so I owe you an answer: All three.
   
Multiple times for all. Not to mention getting shot period, not just shot AT.

Almost exactly 35 years ago, now that I think of it, but that sort of thing stays with you.

And having said that and triggered the memories, I'm off to get a sleeping pill. No more of this for me tonight. No more.

Bleeding ulcer. Highly unrecommended. Except that the medications are very hallucinogenic. (Unless the hallucinations are from not being able to eat or drink for five days.)

3. Yes, pre-Tagamet, and the realization that most ulcers were caused by bacteria, things were ugly indeed. Ulcer surgery is vanishingly rare now...which is a good thing since it basically did not work until it was understood that ulcers were bacterial in nature. And boy, am I glad of that since I can't drink milk anyway.

The prognosis in my case is excellent; thank you for your good wishes.

There's some stuff at work here that not even you or I or Mrs R knows about. Let's talk about it when I'm ready to, my good friend. I'm not in any condition to talk on the phone tonight, but we'll talk later.

"The Viet Nam Tapes of Lance Corporal Micheal A. Baronowski."

9. Entertaining, they were at least. I had long conversations with my family, some of whom aren't even alive anymore. It was kind of fun in a bizarre way.

Note: Chief S itting Bull is describing the death of a friend in Vietnam, AND the friend's dog.

Sorry to throw something serious into the Lounge, but I'm weeping right now.
   
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/documentary_archi...

I heard the originals. Mike was my next-door neighbor and "big brother."

As you heard Cookie say, I also "wondered if what they told us was the truth."

I went looking for that truth six years later (and it damn near killed me), and didn't find it until Tim Duffie got the first bits of the tapes played on NPR.

I'd heard that there was a BBC special in the works, but for some reason (yeah, right, like I don't know why) didn't listen to it until tonight.

I'm glad I did, but wish I hadn't at the same time.

God damn it, Mike. We - Cookie, and me, and Sandy, and my sister - WE knew you weren't crazy, and you didn't have to join the Marines to prove anything to US. Nor to your mother, or to stepfather, or to your dog Lady (who ended up dying in my garage, with me rubbing her behind her ears; she hung out with me a lot after you left).

God damn it, Mike. I have to go now, and drink some more water to replenish my supply of tears.

9. She was a good girl...some kind of Lab mix, reddish and portly, and absolutely attached to me, after Mike went away to join the Marines.

Odd that Lady bonded with me, not with Cookie or Sandy (though Sandy wasn't around that much at the time).

There's some catharsis for me, here in this thread...I did not even recognize it at the time but I absolutely, utterly shut down emotionally and psychologically, and in all the other mental senses after Mike died, for about nine months...I remember his burial on a cold, rainy day up there in Scranton, but not much thereafter, though at the same time I also had a horrible blood disease that cost me a half of a year of school.

Not a pleasant time.

But, as Mrs R says, why re-live that time now?

I think she's right.

17. Mrs R - who is, believe me, an expert on childhood trauma, came home early last night because I told her on the phone that I had listened to that BBC piece. And I was weeping when I talked to her.

She told me that I had to let it go, and not follow the publications of Mike's story anymore; that I was just torturing myself unecessarily.

But his life, and his death, shaped my own life for a long time, in ways that I've only recently been able to recognize...should I let that go?

Maybe I should. Thank you all for listening. I'll leave now.

You are a good man, and you have been through more than I have, so you don't need a lecture from me. But please, be careful. Watch how much you drink, because you are going to feel like shit tomorrow, and you may feel worse mentally than you already do.

If you need to smoke...smoke and talk to your wife about it until it all comes out. And LET it out too.

I don't want to see you do something that is going to make you feel worse.

24. Thank you. I'm going careful on the vodka because I don't drink anymore,and I don't want to get back into the habit.

And I have about half a pack of Pall Malls left, and when they're gone, they're gone.

We're still looking for the "child rescue" story, which appeared at our old home some years ago, but got lost when our old home crashed--if someone else happens to stumble across it, please post it here.

By the way, one notices Chief S itting Bull is a skinflint; a NON-DONOR TO SKINS'S ISLAND.

Nice research Frank.  Redstone is an arrogant ass.

Woe is me! Woe is me!

I'm gonna have to go upchuck my breakfast after reading that drivel! This asshat acts like he's the only one to ever experience Nam!

He gets a 90 on my whine monitor!

I lost a step brother and 3 really good friends from direct result to the conflict in Southeast Asia. One of them was from the reception he got when he came home from assholes like those that reside at the DUmp! He told me once he'd rather be back in Nam where you knew who your enemy was! Suck on that RedBalls!

This guy is nothing more than a sympathy junkie! Do us all a favor and eat your stolen military issue .45!

"Absense of fear", huh? I'll lay odds I could make him piss his pants!! ****in' *****!

Thats the story that I was referring to in the "stoning" thread.  I am certain that he had whole thread back in '05 or '06 about a privately financed op that involved him sneaking into Vietnam via Thailand/Cambodia, but I can't find it.

Did John Kerry take him in on his boat? Was TiT the gunner on said boat? Is it seared into his brain.....or is his brain just seared?

I'm still looking; it's probably there.

The problem is, Chief S itting Bull has posted thousands of comments, and it's quite a chore.

I remember when I was trying to find out exactly what it was that Fat Che's little brother, the Fat Che's Little Brothert beer primitive, the "Fat Che's Little Brother" primitive, had shoved up his rectal aperture--it was something pretty big and unnatural, permanently expanding Fat Che's little brother's opening, but I'll be damned if I can remember exactly what it was--I ploughed through hundreds of pages, and perhaps missed it, because Fat Che's little brother apparently has had an, uh, interesting life well worth reading about.

It's probably there, but it's like trying to find a particular grain of sand in a sand-bucket.

[BattleHymn]

I can't help but get the feeling that this guy is a real life Hap Shaughnessy. 
 

From the "Red Green Show" Wikipedia page:


"Hap Shaughnessy (Gordon Pinsent) is the water-taxi captain of Possum Lake, but he is much better known at Possum Lodge for his self-aggrandizing tall tales. In virtually every appearance he makes on the show, he makes a ridiculous claim to have been a significant person in history, or to have accomplished some incredible feat. Nobody else on the show believes him, but he will go to great lengths to tell his stories anyway. For example, he has claimed that he invented basketball while working undercover for the CIA, that he owns a hat that belonged to Santa Claus himself, that he owns a glove that once belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte, that he once filled in for Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, and that he even fought a whale for "ten, twenty months." In one episode, it is hinted that he lies about his past because he has a poor self-image."

I did a Google site search earlier today and the problem I found is that the archived pages from '06 back come up as very long pages of thread titles instead of individual threads.  I'm probably doing it wrong though, my Google-fu is weak.

[Randy]

If you can do a keyword search by member then try using the word he uses for ass. Butt, bum, meat-missle silo, whatever his commonly used term is and the word hospital and see if that narrows it somewhat. Also you can try to think of word combination's that would occur in that type of post that normally wouldn't be together like "colon stretched" in the quotes to see if that'd pop it out of the sand.

To everyone with a ****ed up dysfunctional asshole father, on this father's day, I wish you happy healing, sound self-esteem, and a brief respite from the rampant and unthinking celebration that would have us believe that all fatherhood is godly, blessed, without pain, and worth honoring our father's for.

It is you who have/had shitty fathers who I think about on this father's day, and I wish you well.

Does anyone know how to clean jade?
   
My dear, amazing Antonia, cat lady extraordinaire, called today, and she's feeling badly. Recovering from pneumonia.

But she said she found some sculpture in the attic that seems to be jade and wants to know how she should clean it.

I don't think it's the Maltese Falcon and I don't think baking soda will work.

Has anyone cleaned jade?

1. Use an ultrasonic cleaner, with 80% water, 10% dish detergent, and 10% ammonia.
   
If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, use the same solution and a SOFT toothbrush.

Rinse thoroughly, and dry in a SLIGHTLY warm (105-110 degree) oven, on a dish towel (No paper, because most paper contains sulphur.)

Trust me, I was a jeweler for some time, way back when.

6. The formula is bulletproof. And yes, common paper has sulphur in it; have you ever seen a photograph or print that's been framed with a piece of common cardboard as a backer? It'll be all burned to blazes (the white parts turning yellow) because of the sulphur in the cardboard.

(Among many other things, I do conservation-grade mounting and framing. I do know this stuff.)
