I used to maintain enough savings for 12+ months worth of expenses.
You sure can pick 'em, Jeff! lmfjao!

The result was an eviction and much higher housing costs for me, so now I need every dime I have ? I'm one paycheck away from joining Double-A on his park bench. Indirectly, I work for bankers, I could easily get laid off along with all the others. There are lots of programs ? including housing ? for kids under 18; but, after that, they're mostly on their own. I housed and helped lots of people, but one was a cute girl that I met just after she turned 18 years old ? 5'1", 90 pounds, a former lead singer and crazy-ass gymnast. She was Trouble with a capital “ T ” ? ba-a-ad news, for years. She's now married to a man that makes 4 grand per week; a week ago, in St. Pete Florida, she birthed a baby girl. |

A helping-hand fund for AA (Was.. )
Well the rig is sittin' here ready to ship, just need an address
whenever AA shows up. It's a nice little 15" diagonal Toshiba with built-in WiFi connectivity, and Windows Vista. I'd like to challenge AA's other kindred spirits here to pitch in with a little helping hand till he's 'over the hump' and in a better situation. Bill(oc) oldcoot7074 at sbcglobal dot net |

There's no telling when Double-A might see this.

As Google Groups has it, the newest post in this thread happened over 2 days ago ! so there's no telling when Double-A might see this. Apparently, you weren't badly hurt by California's latest real estate bubble. |

I'm a lot poorer but more “ educated ”.
I didn't pick “ Little Ms. Trouble ”, she ( and her friends ) picked me.
Quite litterally, she damn near killed me. I housed about 10 people over 3+ years. Now I'm a lot poorer but more “ educated ”. |

Women pick me too, Jeff. But they don't kill me! lmao!
Must be something else about you! lmao! Saul Levy On 27 Oct 2008 19:34:48 GMT, Jeff?Relf wrote: I didn't pick “ Little Ms. Trouble ”, she ( and her friends ) picked me. Quite litterally, she damn near killed me. I housed about 10 people over 3+ years. Now I'm a lot poorer but more “ educated ”. |

She wasn't trying to kill me, but her wannabe lovers were.

This morning GG stumbled back into some semblance of functionality. I'll try posting this via GG and see if it comes up. Hopefully AA's having access to more computer time can help him find needed resources. |

There is a question of whether material objects would expand along with space, and the usual answer I have heard is no. So giant material ruler might not expand. But according to the theory which is now prevalent, if you have a ruler consisting of a series of galaxies marking of the gradiations for 13 billion lightyears, then after waiting a length of time for expansion, you could lay you 12" rulers end to end along the way and measure that the lengths of the gradiations have increased to more than q billion lightyears each, and the total length is now over 13 billion light years. As i "see" it, either way from the point-of-view we have on or near the Earth, there would be no way for us to actually see the increase you describe. True. From our restricted 'inside' frame, there's no way to directly see it. Even on the small scale of the Pioneer anomaly. This is why i maintain that if the Universe were expanding, there would be no way to sense that it is expanding. One could take a cue from Wolter and mentally transpose to the 'outside' frame and view the whole from that perspective, as he did in visualizing the great Toroid of the CBB model. With the expansion of space, that is, expansion *of the spatial medium itself*, matter expands concomitantly with it. Thus a rod that measures 12 inches 'here' in the local frame will also measure 12 inches 'there' in the local frame 13 BLY distant. Objectors will argue that there is no 'outside' to the universe. But we do have this thing called a `mind` by which we can step 'outside' and view whole concepts, aka the 'big picture'. The problem with thinking that matter expands with the universe is that if that would true, we would not see a red shift in light from distant galaxies. *The reason is that if the red shift comes from expanding space giving the light a longer wave length, we would have now way of knowing that if our own meter stick that we measure it by had been expanding along with space. Double-A And yet, if we are to follow mainstream science, matter *must* expand along with the Universe's expansion just as it did in the beginning when the Big Bang began it all. I don't think the mainstream is ever saying that matter expands. *AND we not only see a red shift in light from distant galaxies, but without exception, if a distant galaxy is farther away, then it has a larger red shift. *So it follows that, if we follow this observation--this red-shift situation as we actually see it-- then there has to be an alternate reason for the red shift. There has to be an alternate explanation for Friedmann's and Lemaître's equations. *There was never a "Big Bang", never a primeval atom, never a time when all matter and energy, space and time, were condensed into a singularity that all-of-a-sudden began to violently expand and then continued to expand into the Universe we see today. *That story is *fiction*! *So what really happened? Hoyle's SS Universe is not consistent with observations. Lemaître's Big Bang seems consistent with observations. So what line of reasoning represents physical reality AND is also consistent with observations? Galaxies of matter expanding into pre-existing infinite Euclidian space? (So common sense.) Double-A |
