Don't Loose SIGHT

I enjoy biking. It is valuable to my health and happiness. It is more efficient to accomplish exercise, and transportation or work simultaneously. It also preserves our environment, and saves us money. It is not dangerous to drive my bike to and from my place of employment. What IS dangerous, IS that a protective bike path is not provided for me. If I die from a car rider, it will be the fault of the people in my town, county, and state, for not recognizing my rights and protection. If I die over the I-4, It will not be surprising to find an "ANDREW LERNER Memorial Bike-way" created over the bridge I once drove.

As I was biking the other day, another person yelled out of his car window "side-walk". This bothers me, because it shows how people in this country do not take responsibility for their actions. There are no "side-walks"! And the very name indicates that they are for WALKING. Write to your government representatives about the need to protect individuals from automobile users. If you see me biking when you are riding your car, make sure you do not hit and kill me. It is your responsibility as much as it is mine. The rules that govern our public roads and streets is that it be SHARED with bicyclists.

This society does not value the individual. It worships imagery and instant gratification country is loosing sight of the right of the individual by phobic re-defining what marriage is, prohibiting the burning of a red, white, and blue rag, or having it worshiped in schools. It is more important to find homes and jobs for people in our country, than to just send them off to die in Iraq. It is why irresponsible selfish arrogant people such as George W. Bush are in positions of power. You, the automobile user, is the reason our environment is being destroyed, and we are at war in Iraq. Put compact fluorescent bulbs in your home. See the light. Feel the freedom from oil dependence.

I need a partner for whom we can help each-other reach our individual and mutual goals. However, as an Aspie, it is so overwhelmingly frustrating to find people into my life. I therefore, am no longer actively bothering to find anyone. This society does not value the individual. Each individual in this society values themselves!

Day Eight (8) Last Day

An L.E.D. light lit for eight days, uses LESS oil than a conventional light bulb does in one day! With today's forign oil dependence, we could use the oil used in the rededicated temple. That oil gave eight days of light with one day's supply. This is what is celebrated during Hanukkah, The Festival of Lights. Put LEDs in your menorah. See the light. Feel the freedom FROM oil dependence.

Day Five

This picture is of a 78rpm record that was purchased for my siblings in 1948. Here are some pictures for you to look at. You can see each of them one at a time, by clicking each of their descriptions, one at a time, with the left button on your mouse. If you use your right hand, you would press the left button with your right index finger momentarily, so it will make a click sound. To return to this page or screen display, that you are currently looking at, you can click the "back" button, on the upper left of your screen, showing you the picture that you selected. Here are the individual descriptions below for you to "click" on.

Day Four

Being Aspie, makes it difficult for me to know how other people feel. I constantly told Pitti and to explain her feelings. She finally does, and tells me that because I am not empathetic to her feelings, she is leaving me. I feel sorry for her that she feels comfortable wallowing in her self pity. She lives in her own un-communicable world like Laurie, helped by their excessive TV watching. She gave me the gift to the left a year ago.

Last Day Before

When Richard was in the car, ready to drive to the airport, and back to NYC, I gave him two windshield ice-breakers. I love Florida, and am glad that I am not in NYC any more.

Barbie was born in 1958

It was in 1958 that the patent for Barbie was obtained. This would be a fashion doll unlike any of her time. She would be long limbed, shapely and beautiful, all of this and only 11 ½" tall.

Paper fashion dolls of the times would give way to a three dimensional beauty with a wardrobe of unsurpassed quality. Ruth and Elliot would name their new fashion doll after their own daughter, Barbie. Barbie dolls’ soon to be boyfriend Ken, would be named after their son Ken.

In 1959, Barbie doll would make her way to the New York Toy Show and receive a cool reception from the toy buyers. She would be viewed as risky to buyers since she was not the typical style selling baby doll of the times. Upon seeing Barbie on store shelves, the public decided differently. By 1960, the mood would change and the orders started pouring in to Mattel. It took several years for Mattel to catch up with the demand for Barbie. Within ten years, the public purchased $500 million worth of Barbie products.

Press my number at the touch tone

When using a rotary telephone, you can DIAL a number when you hear a DIAL tone. When using a push button phone you should therefore only be able to PRESS or TOUCH a number when you hear a TOUCH tone. I propose the tone be called a CALLING tone, so that a number may be CALLED.

In December 2003, 718-347-3237 had been disconnected after more than 10.5 years in service. That was my last traditional telephone service, and was in Bellerose Queens. I only had my $15.00 Sprint Plan. The 750 Anytime Minutes Include Long Distance, 50 Free 1-way Text Messages, pcs Voice Command, PCS Wireless Web-caller ID, Call Waiting, three-way Calling, pcs voice-mail. Additional Anytime Minutes are $.15 Per Minute. I consistently only used, as little as 250 minutes per month. The first telephone number of My Samsung flip phone had the new Queens area code of 347. That is the same number as my land-line prefix of 347 for that area. I still have the same cell service plan, and once again, I usually only use about 250 minutes per month.

Since 2002, my sister has had a traditional telephone number with the 347 prefix! Again, that is the same prefix and area code I had in Bellerose. In addition to that, "Belleview" is the town listed on my telephone records for my "calls" with her! Both of these towns have the same first five letters, and have the same telephone prefix! Bellerose NY and Belleview FL have "347" and "Belle" in common.

My cell phone was soon changed to the nearby Long Island area code of 516. I am in Seminole county Florida. Now, I also have calls anywhere in the US, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Europe @ $15/month for up to 500 minutes. This VoIP also includes Free features such as: voice-mail Plus 3-Way Calling Call Waiting Call Forwarding Caller ID with Name 911 Dialing. It is ironic, that even though I advertised my unlimited telephone usage to attract tenants for my house, my tenants have not been interested in using it at all.

"The Pot Calling The Kettle Black"

Today's English Idioms

You are the pot calling the kettle black when you point to another person and accuse that person of doing something that you are guilty of doing yourself. Example: "You are accusing me of being lazy? Ha! That's the pot calling the kettle black!" "The pot" (for cooking) and "the kettle" (for boiling water) sit on the stove over the fire and become black from the flames. Example: "I'm tired of you always wearing my clothing!" Answer: "Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? You're wearing my pants right now!" The pot and the kettle are like old friends who have turned black with time; the pot only sees the blackness which is on the kettle; he doesn't see the black on himself. Example: "Here comes the guy who is always late for work." Answer: "Aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? You are usually the last person to show up!"
