If you want some killer fire ants, move to texas. I remember we lived out in the country, and had a dirt/sand/gravel driveway, and for as long as i could remember, we tried to get them out, to no avail. tried every poison and liquid spray and granules and just about averything until one day, my pyromaniac big brother and I went out and poured a couple gallons of gasoline into the hole, backed up about twenty feet and threw a match at it. that seemed to work pretty well. >:) BUBSY ..What could POSSIBLY go wrong..? 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Mike Sinclair Area: Mundane To: Kayla Block 10 May 94 06:55:14 Subject: Oooops !

Last night I went to a "Basic Buddhism" course run by a european monk who is also the head of a local hospice for the terminally ill. Apparantly the _majority_ of Tibetans are in fact Vajrayana. It seems that *outside* of Tibet the majority of Tibetan Buddhists are Mahayana .

DA> all this sounds like an irresponsible *justification* for trashing the DA> Earth. How many of my posts have you read? I am curious if you are implying that you think I am irresponsibly trying to justify my trashing of the Earth or if I am misunderstanding you. If it is the first, I would like to give you a clearer picture of who and what I am. I was part of the first Earth Day...even though I was still in grade school. At my worst, I would pick up things that people had thrown on the ground and hand it back to them. My family has always kept Earth Day and have several other holidays when we go out and pick up trash. At one point we were the focus of taunts and ridicule because I would trundle my children around the projects (the infant in her stroller) and we would pick up all the trash. My thirteen year old once picked up enough cans and glass to purchase a NEW Nintendo game. I am the Asst. Director of a group called "GaiaNauts: Children of Spaceship Earth". Our stated goal is to teach children to respect their Mother and treat Her with love and kindness. My husband, who was in Washington DC at the first Earth Day rally, belongs to Green Peace. I don't, as I disagree with some of the destructive things they do. I have demonstrated against pollution and environmental villians and the like. I love my Mother and I do my best, at every level of my life, to live in harmony with her as my ancestors, the Cherokees, did. So you could say I am as much an ecologically aware person as you will find. But I also recognize that WE are PART of the ecology....every creature or plant or rainstorm or volcano changes the earth. The Earth IS change. And all we can contribute, even in the negative sense, is to add to that change. I don't want us to destroy ourselves, but if we do, we do. Mama will find something to replace us. Hopefully something that loves her more than some folks seem to at this time. I don't condone irresponsible behavior, nor do I practice it, I am simply saying that IF we are irresponsible, we will have to live (or die) with the consequences. Mom will adapt and grow and continue. Now do you understand? If might have helped if you had started reading when the thread started. Gwenny ... Is there a Lawyer in the House? *BLAM!* Any more? 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Gwenny The Pooh Area: Mundane To: Lazarus Long 10 May 94 13:42:00 Subject: greenhouse UpdReq While bumping down stairs, Gwenny the Pooh heard Lazarus Long say: DA> never underestimate the power of the stupid few. LL> Especially when we've got about 20,000 nuclear warheads sitting in LL> cardboard boxes scattered about the country. Again, that would only effect some of the life....things would survive, as they did when the dinosaurs were destroyed. Life would adapt. Short of blowing Her to bits, we cannot destroy the Mother....only ourselves. And I do admit to wondering, sometimes, if that would be a bad thing. Gwenny ... I don't have PMS. I'm really a Bitch. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Christeos Pir Area: Mundane To: David Arnold 9 May 94 23:56:22 Subject: What the. . . ? #3 UpdReq -=> David Arnold sent a message to Christeos Pir on 07 May 94 12:49:05 <=- -=> Re: What the. . . ? #3 <=- Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. > ...

In thy branches is the lightning nested! Above thee hangs the Eyeless Hawk. Thou art blasted and black! Supremely solitary in that heath of scrub. Up! The ruddy clouds hang over thee! It is the storm. There is a flaming gash in the sky. Thou art tossed about in the grip of the storm for an aeon and an aeon But thou givest not thy sap; thou fallest not. Only in the end shalt thou give up thy sap when the great God F. I. A. T. is enthroned on the day of Be-with-Us. For two things are done and a third thing is begun. Isis and Osiris are given over to incest and adultery. Horus leaps up thrice armed from the womb of his mother. Harpocrates his twin is hidden within him. Set is his holy covenant, that he shall display in the great day Now in this is the magical power known. It is weather- beaten and scarred and confident like a sea-captain. Also it straineth like a hound in the leash. It hath pride and great subtlety. Yea, and glee also! Let the magus act thus in his conjuration. Let him sit and conjure; let him draw himself together let him draw himself together in that forcefulness; let him rise next swollen and straining; let him dash back the hood from his head and fix his basilisk eye upon the sigil of the demon. Then let him sway the force of him to and fro like a satyr in silence, until the Word burst from his throat. Then let him not fall exhausted, although the might have been ten thousandfold the human; that which floodeth him is the infinite mercy of the Genitor-Genetrix the Genitor-Genetrix of the Universe, whereof he is the Vessel. Nor do thou deceive thyself. It is easy to tell the live force from the dead matter. It is no easier to tell the live snake from the dead snake. Also concerning vows. Be obstinate, and be not obstinate. the yielding of the Yoni is one with the lengthening of the Lingam. Thou art both these; and thy vow is but the rustling of the wind on Mount Meru. Now shalt thou adore me who am the Eye and the Tooth, the Goat of the Spirit, the Lord of Creation. I am the Eye in the Triangle, the Silver Star that ye adore. I am Baphomet, that is the Eightfold Word that shall be equilibrated the Eightfold Word that shall be equilibrated with the Three. There is no act or passion that shall not be a hymn in mine honour. All holy things and all symbolic things shall be my sacraments. These animals are sacred unto me; the goat, and the duck, and the ass, and the gazelle, the man, the woman and the child. All corpses are sacred unto me; they shall not be touched save in mine eucharist. All lonely places are sacred unto me; where one man gathereth himself together in my name, there will I leap there will I leap forth in the midst of him. I am the hideous god; and who mastereth me is uglier than I. Yet I give more than Bacchus and Apollo; my gifts exceed the olive and the horse. Who worshippeth me must worship me with many rites. I am concealed with all concealments; when the Most Holy Ancient One is stripped and driven the Most Holy Ancient One is stripped & driven through the marketplace I am still secret and apart. Whom I love I chastise with many rods. All things are sacred to me; no thing is sacred from me. For there is no holiness where I am not. Fear not when I fall in the fury of the storm; for mine acorns are blown afar by the wind; and verily I shall rise again, and my children about me, so that we shall uplift our forest in Eternity. Eternity is the storm that covereth me. I am Existence, the Existence that existeth not the Existence that existeth not save through its own Existence, that is beyond the Existence of Existences, and rooted deeper than the No-Thing-Tree in the Land of No-Thing. Now therefore thou knowest when I am within thee, when my hood is spread over thy skull, when my might is more than the penned Indus, and resistless as the Giant Glacier. For as thou art before a lewd woman in Thy nakedness in the bazaar, sucked up by her slyness and smiles, so art thou wholly and no more in part before the symbol And in all shalt thou create the Infinite Bliss, and the next link of the Infinite Chain. This chain reaches from Eternity to Eternity, ever in triangles --- is not my symbol a triangle? --- --- ever in circles --- is not the symbol of the Beloved a circle? Therein is all progress base illusion, for every circle is alike and every triangle alike! But the progress is progress, & progress is rapture, constant, dazzling, showers of light, waves of dew, flames of the hair of the Great Goddess, flowers of the roses that are about her neck, Amen! Therefore lift up thyself as I am lifted up. Hold thyself in as I am master to accomplish. At the end, be the end far distant as the stars be the end far distant as the stars that lie in the navel of Nuit, do thou slay thyself as I at the end am slain, in the death that is life, in the peace that is mother of war, in the darkness that holds light in his hand as a harlot that plucks a jewel from her nostrils. So therefore the beginning is delight, and the End is delight, and delight is in the midst, even as the Indus is water in the cavern of the glacier, and water among the greater hills and the lesser hills and through the ramparts of the hills and through the plains, and water at the mouth thereof when it leaps forth into the mighty sea, yea, into the mighty sea. - Aleister Crowley Love is the law, love under will. - Christeos Pir ... the Horror of emptiness, with his ghastly eyes like poisonous wells. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Lady Gwyneth Area: Mundane To: Liana 10 May 94 22:49:52 Subject: RE: KITCHEN WITCH Pvt UpdReq hahaha love the tagline!! and i have a shopping trip planned to Bookstop this weekend!! would I look in cookbooks??? hmmmmm 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Spider Area: Mundane To: Rose Dawn 10 May 94 21:12:06 Subject: Re: SECRET SOCIETY/GANGS POLICY UpdReq well it was about gangs and it may not have been directed towards me I'm new here so I probably don't know what I'm doing sorry for any inconvienience I think I just read something posted and thought it was e-mail so I tried to see what was goin on spider 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718 From: Farrell McGovern Area: Mundane To: Judy 9 May 94 11:53:04 Subject: RE: HAIL TWITS!
