Railroading and my family history

[Amaterasu]

Well...  I missed My cue...  I'm just popping in to mention that for 10 years of M'life, My only mode of transportation was a motorcycle.

Honda 160
Honda 400/4
Yamaha SR500 (2 of 'em - crashed the first and broke My pelvis.  Was still on a walker when Me and a friend went and bought the second one.  He test-rode it for Me.)

Ok.  Sorry I missed the cue.

. it takes awhile to build up again and in that time all of you have the opportunity to build stronger understandings with each other so when and if it ever hits again you will withstand it again.

if it pays any attention to me, i'll have it derailed soon enough by first: 1) drawing its attention to me so it can't hurt innocent bystanders 2) making it chase me around so that it isn't hurting anyone else, and   3) defusing it once it has expended so much of its stupid energy trying to do evil, that it eventually has no recourse but to give up the chase.

  might take a couple days but as i said before, even if something is meant for evil, it will inevitably be used for good.  that part i can't control as far as timing or who it may be that it is meant to do good for, but i can keep the evil really busy while the issue is being rearranged to make it turn out for good just the same. 

i learned this back when it became apparent that some moments in time are so important, so pivotal, that you're guaranteed to find bad intent lurking around those  moments, just waiting for the opportunity to screw it all up.   enter the walking disaster area (<--that's me), which is like bait, they can't seem to refuse.   don't ask me why that is.  i just know it works.

in this case, i think the protected target was amaterasu.  i didn't know that beforehand, but now i do.   i never know who the intended target is till after the event has passed because i've just been injected into the situation to be the target dummy.  i am the weak link in the chain, supposedly.  i guess. who knows.  and if there's intent to attack, they always start with the weakest link.  kinda predictable.

I know that you guys are busy and this is an enormous and constantly growing Forum ( yea!!!)

So if it looked like I jumped on you for the similarity of avatars..... and the sudden ( to me) mention of trains.... I am really sorry....

Yes it did. Thank you. Apology accepted and hatchet buried.

(I better have hit the right button this time! grrrr lol)

(I better have hit the right button this time! grrrr lol)

and YOU, you took some of the attack off me, which was probably not such a good idea.  hindsight is 20/20. lol  the more helpless i look, the more i draw the bad guys. they love it when you're down so they can tap dance in your guts.  but my guts have been tap danced on so many times,  they are like calloused or something.

2) making it chase me around...

That's gotta be the easy part. Geez I would happily chase ya around if ya wasn't married!

That's ok cause I need glasses anyways so it's all good!

Thanks kiddo will do. Obviously I need it. Here I am flirting with a married woman. 

nite all

no, even lack of glasses wouldn't help in this case. lol

p.s. edit:  and this turns out to be a good thing.  it's weird but that's how it works.  i like it when people listen to me because they think what i have to say is more interesting than my physical appearance (lol whew, took a huge handicap for that to work out).  it's a blessing that was wrapped in an exceedingly cruel package.  good from evil.  good will always triumph because evil is not dumb, but rather so intent on pleasing itself that it can't see past the next jolly.

dammit did it again, hit modify instead of quote. sorry.
it's been a long week and this is my friday night.

When that happens you can hit the back button and copy the original post happens to me a lot

So  all this fuss about trains I felt the NEED to add this one





There's a Spanish train that runs between
Guadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
and people hear she's running still...

And then they hush their children back to sleep,
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!

Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side,
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died,
But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead,
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
"Well God's not around and look what I've found,
this one's mine!!"

Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light,
And shouted at the Devil, "Get thee hence to endless night!!"
But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned,
But there's no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst,
He's going underground!!"

"But I think I'll give you one more chance"
said the Devil with a smile,
"So throw away that stupid lance,
It's really not your style",
"Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
we'll play right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet,
the souls of the dead!!"

And I said "Look out, Lord, He's going to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, He's going to win!.."

Well the railwayman he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five,
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Or that train he'd have to drive...
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,
And the Lord, he was running for a straight,
He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades,
All he needed was the eight...

And then the Lord he called for one more card,
But he drew the diamond eight,
And the Devil said to the son of God,
"I believe you've got it straight,
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who'll be the king of this place,
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
He slipped another ace...

Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
And it soon went up to fifty-nine,
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,
And he said "that suits me fine",
"I'll raise you high to a hundred and five,
And forever put an end to your sins",
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins!!"

And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, don't let him win..."

Well that Spanish train still runs between,
Guadalquivir and old Saville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people fear she's running still...
And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,
And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best...

And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line,
Oh Lord, you've got to win..."

ignore the song lyrics. z's the one that told me, good always, inevitably wins. (he just forgot he said that, with that, the lord reveals the hand he had all along. hehe).
