A question about perfect machines

[BobbiLynn]

But which part is which??

Hope you didn't hurt yourself looking those up.

All of it was leveled, then all of it graded!!!

No, didn't hurt... felt good actually!

 

[Golddiggie]

No, didn't hurt... felt good actually!

So it's not level at all now.. How was it graded? The entire slab? All in one direction or different?

The entire slab, one direction!

 

[BobbiLynn]

Okay, sure, it was level, now it's not....

 

[BobbiLynn]

And it's not called graded, we called it broomed... graded implies more than is needed.

How has this thread gone on so long? And Bobbi now that the apocalypse has passed can you please tell me what this machine is?

Because we are still here!!

The actual original question was a metaphor so which machine doesn't matter. Since hubby has been sick, seems like all the machines are breaking and I don't know how to fix them. Though actually in some cases I am figuring it out. It's just the custom built ones I'm having trouble with because there are no youtube videos for them.

So this got me thinking about God. If he created mankind perfect, in his image, what happened? How'd we spring a leak? And why is he just standing there watching us leak? In real life people are telling me, BobbiLynn, you just need to put all your faith in God. But why would I trust a fool who calls something perfect, and look around... something doesn't add up.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Is this a metaphor for parenting? If so, I got nothin'.

All the way back to the first reply... yes, yes it is. If you believe God is the father and we are his children.

But I'm going to leave God out of this now, and go fix the tractor myself today.

I'm glad this thread is in the Drunken Ramblings and Mindless Mumbling section. it obviously belongs here.

Yes, just mindless mumbling, got a little angry this morning, mostly at the tractor. Previous comments are no reflection of my actual beliefs, just a frustrating day. I think I'll just sit down and have a homebrew... muster up some strength to get the plow attachment on there right.

WHY did you have to bring THAT up?? Seriously... Why?? I'm sorry but you just lost serious points with me over that rambling.

I can see it now, back several thousand years ago, some adolescent aliens, probably high on some Plutonium Nyborg, decided to have some fun smurfing around with a primitive planet (us)... If they're watching what happened from that exposure, they're probably doing lots of these: :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack:

 

[BobbiLynn]

Um... because I'm not perfect and sometimes I don't know when to keep my mouth shut? Was just an analogy that popped in my head. Because I figured this thread wasn't done until I offended a few people?

I wasn't offended, just disappointed...

 

[BobbiLynn]

I wasn't offended, just disappointed...

Well, smurf off, I'm having a bad day...

 

[Golddiggie]

Well, smurf off, I'm having a bad day...

You need a sympathy smurfing??

 

[BobbiLynn]

You need a sympathy smurfing??

No, not right now, hubby is in the next room and he's alert today.

Okay, I'll go back and answer this seriously. The broken machine was a lettuce cutter I guess. It goes behind the tractor, the rotation of the wheels powers it and it cuts, weighs and sacks lettuce. Not the head of lettuce kind, the kind you clip 1-2 inches from the ground then it grows back.

It looks kind of like a fancy drag behind lawnmower. Sorry, no pics of the "perfect" machine.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Also, sorry if some days I get mad at God and it's the same day I get on here to ramble. Get over it, buddy.

At who??

 

[BobbiLynn]

At who??

Some invisible guy that only exists in my head. Yeah, you are right... that does sound crazy.

There's your sign...

It sounds even worse when you look at how many people out there think it's "normal" too. They don't see how it's such a cult mindset... IMO organized religion is the opiate of the weak minded.



I'll go put on my fire-proof (kevlar lined/bulletproof) suit now... :fro: Come get some!!

 

[BobbiLynn]

Come get some!!

No can travel. But maybe some weekend you could bring the whole family down to see my lettuce cutter.

Ummmm, yeah, chances of me going to FL is somewhat less than nil...

 

[lschiavo]

Don't worry, babe, all in good fun, all my love... Now should I say 'eff you?

She called me "babe" and gave me her "love" *blushing*...

I bowed out but if you had said F-U it would have been just fine.

I am wondering if your slab is "humped"?

 

[BobbiLynn]

Not so much humped as a slight curvature. Do you want to come see my lettuce cutter sometime? It also cuts and bags oregano and chives...

If you noticed, she does that with pretty much everyone. Oh, and you're showing.

I have to wonder what gives it the "slight curvature"... Sure, you offer to show him your lettuce, oregano and chive...

Sorry man but I think she likes me better. Don't worry, we're still buds and I'll tell you all about her "lettuce"

Well, I just don't get the slab thing. You should show us a pic...that would make it all better.

I would love to see a cutting/bagging lettuce/oregano/chive machine...when's a good time for you?

It's because it's built on a slight hill and it goes with the flow. To get a long shot pic, I'd be standing in the woods and you'd only be able to see it through the trees, but I'll try. The concrete was swept to be in sinc with the earth. This way, it won't compact itself and explode, just slowly crumble in a big storm. So you'd be standing in crumbled concrete with a metal roof over your head instead of a sudden crushing. Because who wants to be suddenly crushed.

Pretty much anytime I guess, as long as you promise not to call it a lawnmower. Oregano and chives grow back too, after you cut 'em down.

And I do like you better....
