When Mom got married they had to search the local dump for usable plates and silverware.
Don't think I had it like that, but I remember that my mom's sister was a "gold digger" for marrying the manager of the Piggly Wiggly.

tesla-----When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket. "When woman is boss", Colliers, January 30, 1926 ------------------------------and tesla----Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents. On being informed that Marconi was transmitting wireless messages across the Atlantic Ocean, as quoted in "Who Invented Radio?" at PBS.org, and in Tesla : The Modern Sorcerer (1999) by Daniel Blair Stewart, p. 371

You absolute idiot Gorgeous. International phone lines were already working before 1926. The "Vest radio" was already shown in Popular Mechanics before 1926.

ETA “If I were elected, I would maybe touch it up a little bit, but the White House is a special place. … You don’t want to do too much touching.”
That was then, this is now:
Federal documents show that Trump spent $133,053 on office furnishings during the period, compared to $51,204.25 by Obama. And the living quarters are being entirely overhauled by Kannalikham, even tho everyone said (and this time it seems true, lol) that the last renovations/decor were done so superbly, that nothing should be done to it for years to come...

Gorgeous? The Seth fairy tales are 40 years old and ended when story teller Jane Roberts died decades ago. They are from your adulthood.

Welcome Lori100 from Pasadena, California AKA "Gorgeous"
Well that's weird. You are quoting yourself and linking to yourself, named Lori100 on the Wire Club forum from three years ago. This is a bit of a treat for our skeptic forum members as they can see your insane spamming of "woo" without anyone else responding.
Are you hinting you are leaving us soon?.

Hey Laurie (Gorgeous), there are two original Seth cult members posting on the forum, Caleb and Barrie, who actually sat in Jane Roberts channelling sessions in the late 60s. They would love to meet a fellow cult member like yourself.
So why don't you join them with a big Pasadena Welcome from your stage show at The Boulevard. They will be thrilled.

"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Goering, Nazi leader.

Re: Favourite Quotes.
Republican U.S. Congressman Ron Paul stated that the government "is determined to have martial law." He also said a contrived "Gulf of Tonkin-type incident may occur to gain popular support for an attack on Iran." Former National Security Adviser Brzezinski told the Senate that a terrorist act might be carried out in the U.S. and falsely blamed on Iran to justify yet another war. --------------------------Retired 27-year CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who prepared and presented Presidential Daily Briefs and served as a high-level analyst for several presidents, stated that if there was another major attack in the U.S., it would lead to martial law. He went on to say:
"We have to be careful, if somebody does this kind of provocation – big violent explosions of some kind – we have to not take the word of the masters there in Washington that this was some terrorist event because it could well be a provocation allowing them, or seemingly to allow them to get what they want."
