help in posting an attachment i received in an e mail

i recently received an e mail from an old friend of many, many years; as well an old business partner of 28 years. it's about the 'greatest woodworker of all time'....(this guy must be the reincarnation of leonardo di vinci!!!) i know you'll all enjoy it. maybe one--or all--of you can guide me in the process of posting it on line on pbs. thanks, douglas ...

inside the confessional

a young boy attending catholic school, sat silently in the confessional waiting for the superior to confess his transgressions. finally, the elder priest entered the other side of the confessional and said, 'yes, my son?"....to which the boy replied, "forgive me father, for i have sinned, may the LORD show mercy." "joey lioni, is that you?" "yes father, it is i" how are your parents?" asked the priest. the whole family is fine, thank you, father. replied the young man. well tell me ...

tariff on import of used cars......

has anyone checked of late how much they tax used vehicles on entry to colombia? i haven't checked into it in many years and am curious if it's down or up. in the 90's it was quite high.

this relates to absolutely nothing...just thought i'd share a confederate/redneck moment with ya'll

grandpa used to always say..."well the way i see it son....."

well it applies here...not in so many words. but along the lines of answering all the posts of friends that i've known for years like maarit and others and those friends i haven't met yet. since someone stole my computer i've been like a two legged horse...not very useful for much of anything. (trying to write this without glasses so excuse mis- spells) there's so much i wanna share with so many on so many subjects because i usually have an opinion on just ab out everything...however, i ...

shitty hairdo? say what...

right on huskie. nice story. well friends just a note to let you know that the old fart hasn't died, got aids or simply dropped outta sight. i/we are alive and well if being stuck in lodi (daytona beach) can be thought of as being well. we're giving thoughts of sending our youngest to a catholic borarding school in wash d.c . where her oldest brother lives and then us (mom and I) move back to mother colombia. i'm just to fuckin old for the lucha and the cost of the lucha here in the stat ...

quick question on importing used cars....

does anyone have any accurate, recent data--FROM DIAN--on the tax applied to used vehicle imports?

just noticed a post about the cop who bum-tripped the scate boarder.....

did any of you happen to notice the news here in florida about the black lady cop in--somewhere--florida, who dumps the quadraplegic chap outta his wheelchair because he wont stand up?.........duh... i don't think she's working anymore. ...

no time to post anything of importance to communicate with all of you........

just a short note to let you all know that i'm alive and well (i'll not qualify what well means). we're up in the air as to wheather to continue the bullshit we're going through or throw in the towel, take our daughter out of catholic school and return to medallo. fuckin choices at this time of my life basically suck. all i want to do is sit on the back porch in sabaneta or llano grande and watch the cows piss. i have absolutely no other desires. i've had bullshit pumped way over my ears a ...

maybe it was just a lie.....

about getting old, that is. it's actually a preparitory step to getting the f outta dodge and heading for the happy hunting ground. by the way, i added a post to a previous post "what a drag it is getting old...." (you might look back a few days and check it out of you choose) anyway, i/we are doing fine, health and spirits are fine and dealing with b.s. is our second nature so all fares well. thanks for your thoughts. some have e'd me needing assistance in hook-ups in llano grande (me ...

what a drag it is getting old....

i think jagger said that...not important. it's true. shit happens and exponentially moreso as one grows older. the eyes dim, the muscles weaken, hearing is reduced, the plumbing begins to go bad or worse...the poop shute constricts, the heart flutters and breathing suffers it's many problems. what to do about all that? no idea, just keep smiling, i guess. the only real draw down for me is that because some A-hole ripped off my computer and i need to come up to the college to keep i ...

murphy's law all over again......

some miserable low life prick broke into our house last night while the wife and daughter and i were sleeping and stole my computer. so as sad as i am to not be able to tune into you, my friends and keep up on the world that i/we love, i'll just have to wait til i can put the $$$$$ together to get another. i bought the last one when my folks passed away and spent a lot of money on it .....over 3 grand. now there's just an empty spot where it sat. and the pocket that bought it is emptier! ...

binazir bhutto dead....

bend over and kiss your ass goodby! those crazy, loose canon, islamic militants have killed mrs. bhutto in a suicide bomb attack. the feeling in pakistan is that someone within musharrif's administration is responsible. all that and pakistan is host of nuclear triggers! and that, under not-so-secure conditions. what do you think about all this? ...

well, let's see now......

BEND OVER AND KISS YOUR ASS GOODBY..... those crazy loose canons...the islamic militants in pakistan have killed binazir bhutto. great, with that country sitting on nuclear triggers...AND THAT, under not so secure conditions. what do you think about this? ...

christabeldawg..(sp) beat me to the punch....

however, i wont let that deter me from wishing you all the same. douglas

SALE OF THE MAGNA CARTA...

did ya'll hear about the sale of ross perot's 700 yr old copy of the magna carta? he's auctioning it off. not too many of those up for sale. first estimate is 30 million but it may go for ten times that...who knows? shouldn't he just donate it to the smithsonian? he's got enough $$$ or is he auctioning it cause he needs $$$? ...

NICE BUTT.....

thought that would get your attention... i've been suffering these auto adds lately that use the music from 'flashback' which made me flashback and bring it up thought some of you old gray hairs might enjoy it. actually it is a REAL NICE BUTT.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxOlKvvLXP8 enjoy.....dw ...

HELP!!!

maybe one of you folks can be helpful and walk me through the process of putting a photo on pbh. you gotta make it simple, age aint on my side, and, although i have a brand new, state-of-the-art computer that does everything--it's even voice activated--i don't know how to use all these features...for instance, it even has a built in tv that i haven't figured out yet....duh, you figure. so, please make it easy and i'll share a great colombian photo like none you've ever seen...even stars me. ...

the christmas season is here and i want to remind those in medellin,

of the candle festival of lights in porvenir, on the ourskirts of rio negro, on the road to the airport. in all my travels, i've never seen anything like it. it's akin to the candles-in-bags as some might be familiar with in sante fe, new mexico. with one exception.... scale. in por venir, there are literally millions of candles-in-bags, everywhere. the scale is overwhelming, and i assure you, that to witness it, will leave you with a memory you'll never forget. take the ride up the hill ...

a very nice thought my oldest son shared with me...by george carlin

A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, la ...

a little help here in the computer dept please

anybody have a clue why my control/home or control/end keys aren't working? what to do? i have to scroll the whole page, and here on pbs, sometimes that's a workout. it just started and it's a new, very expensive computer. any ideas will help. thanks, douglas ...

with all due respect....

just saw on the news, the aftermath of a cyclone in bangladesh. winds in excess of 240 kms per hr. they showed an emergency team of workers landing in a helocopter and dragging about 20 small bags of GOD knows what--they called them food rations--while a crowd of more than 100,000 are standing there looking for help. i guess we here in the west get spoiled...the giant hercules aircraft landing and thousands of tons of rations and trucks being off loaded to help the catastrophy. don't know wh ...

anybody here see "el cantante"

just watched it with the misses.....medium to ho hum. couple of hours of bad acting by both j lo and mark a. never really gets off the ground. the stupid butt hole jumps off a building, breaks nearly every bone in his body, and lives? he makes it five more years then dies from aids. shoulda kept singing instead of suckin. ...

WHY?

you ask why? why not? i just thought you'ld like it for a wake up call...nothing more. sometimes us pbh junkies have absolutely nothing better to do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9oE1yb5Wvk ...

new toy recall...

turns out that this toy that wal mart has been selling for the last couple of years just turns up on the most dangerous toy list. first of all, it's for young kids and it's a game where the child makes pictures with these small (about 1/4") beads/balls. when moistened, the release DHC (i think that's right) which is the powerful active ingredient in the date rape drug. wow.! there's already millions of these in circulation and walmart has a stock of 5 million in stock now. several ...

anybody out there drinking?

had nothing to do tonight and noone to do it with, so i decided to get drunk. about half way there... i listen to the news and it's just about all depressing to hell, our situation here in daytona the dull, sucks. and there's nothing i can do to change it; no advise please. just pour your glass full and lets have a toast. a mayor commits suicide, a representative hits up a cop to do him a bit of head in a public park and some asshole rapes a young girl.............SSHHIITT. the ...

ah! memories...

this just came across the radar screet this afternoon....ooooh, it's been years, enjoy: hope ya'll enjoyed it. ...

medellin viking...

patrick, where are you?

what's up with....

gomezman, platano and colombiano x? any body heard from them?

what's the latest information on senadora betancur

and her 'love' child with the insurgente? anybody got any scoop?

any of you mind giants ever heard of.......

chupacabras?

DUH!

what happened to the let/s rock thread?

open apology to peter.....

out of stupidity or sleep, i offended one who has been a friend for more than 7 years and for this i truly apologize and do so in front of the family. as i told you peter, i don't make the same mistake twice and i do pray you accept my apology, given regretably, in ernest. douglas ...

peter...elmo...

what's your take on a, 'nice paint job'?,

ditto: buffalo...

i too had a post forwarded to the nether regions. about child pedophiles and sex with innocents. i agree that in was not a topic about colombia, but certainly one which concerns us all. whether black, white, yellow or what ever, from whereever, these crimes against innocents are a human psychological abberation that is in serious need of attention. rob pointed out that the post had been moved to some other place ???? thanks to the concerned, who posted their thoughts as well their negat ...

a very serious, concerned, querie...

this is addressed to all of us...what is happening? why is it happening? what can be done? from all appearances, america, et al, is in the business of exporting pedopheliacs and sex tourists. what? why? recently there was the article on pbh about an american soldier raping a young colombian girl. in japan, repeatedly, soldiers are convicted for similar crimes; in iraq, europe, etc. etc etc. and worse, by far, is the american pedaphile tourists who travels about the world to ply their ...

anybody on site remember the telenovela: la casa de los dos palmas?

it was popular around '89-90... filmed out in sante fe de antioquia and was written by manuel mejia. dw

the beach in medellin.....

in an earlier post about the 'best city in colombia' or something like that, as in most posts, it strayed wide of it's theme until finally coming to rest upon the idea of a beach in medellin (now that's damn near as dreamy as pretty ladies in buenaventura) but anyway, isn't that one hell of an idea. true, a geographic impossibility, but do we have alternatives. i thought briefly of rivers where one might wet themselves thoroughly and enjoy the water...and of course, rio medellin was defini ...

i know there's many lovers of 'ron medellin' out there....

but when you're back in the states and you run out...what to do? i just discovered a rum from cuba . it's called 'ron matusalem' and it's fantastic. i found it at ABC liquors in daytona beach--by accident--as i dont like most rums that are out there. it costs about $19.00 a bottle (750 ml). try it and let me know what you think. for all i know, you folks already know about it and i'm just the last guy to find out. dw ...

most dear brother, peter......

once again, i implore you to change the position of comments from most recent, last, to most recent, first. common buddy, it makes sense. my scrolling fingers are worn out. i damn sure don't want to read the comments again, and again, and again, ad nauseum... i just want to check in, check out the latest, comment if i so choose and get on with the toil of wading through the posts. por favor, senor. dw ...

anybody in the medellin area familiar with the club 'cuchicheos'?

the owner, paul, is a friend and i haven't heard from him and wonder what's going on. the club is in itagui. never went there, but some friends told me it's a taste racie (sp). any info will be appreciated ...

just to let you all know...

i havent' hung out on line for a good long time and i regret that. i miss you, i miss colombia and i miss the exchange. seems like age is taking priority and my health is sliding. plumbing's gone bad and they're planning a 'whitewater' rafting expedition up my brown hole to see what's awry...oh well, someone said it's all good. right! cameras, instruments, hands and hoses up my poop shute and that's all good? well, friends, nobody gets outta here alive. today, tomorrow, next year, it's ...

best brother, peter...

well, let's see. everytime i look for the articles of interest, their ten pages back and for the most part long forgotton.... i think you need to revert to the old system,where the last post moves to the top of the queue. too, any thread worth reading/commenting on has so fricken many posts on it that i wear out my tired, wrinkled, weary hands scrolling to the last comment so i can make my not-always-so-welcome comments. entonces, move the last comment forward to first in the queue before ...

EMBIGADO OR BUST

so, GIB, what's it gonna be? it's time for you to get your sorry ole gringo ass outta suck city and move to where you can be you and be appreciated for it. VIVA LA MEDELLIN. listen, buddy, i'm an old fart and have hung my hat in medallo for 19 years. sure i have to bo back and forth cause mom and i have 8 kids and need to take care of that. that being said, medellin is home. the family lives in embigado...hehe. really, like you, i can sum up my life by saying, 'been there, done that' ...

antiques in colombia

i certainly don't know, but i can imagine many of you out there are fond of antique furnisings. well if you're in colombia, antioquia specifically, you're in heaven. for several centuries now, the ebanistas of antioquia have wrought furnitings as fine as any in the world, incl louis IV. for years i collected and had my workers restore some of antioquias finest furnishings from the past and exported them to our store in beverly hills/west hollywood, LA. (on melrose). the variety of antiqu ...
