You didnt know!

At school I was unable to read or do mathamatics, because of dyslexia. I did not know I had a problem.
I just could not read.
When doing maths I would for example write 2+2= 4. not like this but like this 2+4=2 and wondered why I got lousy marks. I was flogged by the teacher for being insulant on many occasions I was to become a loner and would avoid people and was shy as a result.
I am observant and even this year I notice the bush fires are slippery as for a better word because the oil content in the material is at it's best for burning with black smoke and a different smell.
I never in my whole school time read a book and had a "Tale of two cities" for my school certificate English test. I was lucky the movie came out on TV just before the exam.
I did over half a year read half of a book called Robin hood and to this day have never finished the book.
I had a good memory for what I wanted to do.
I did engineering and worked in this field all my life in one form or another.
Then just before computers came on the scene I had an accident and lost short term memory, this was devastating as I had to do things with long term memory.
I drove trucks and was able to get on with my life.
Ask me to fill out a prearranged form and I am stuffed as I try to preempt the questions and get it all wrong, I look like a complete idiot.
Then came computers with Text aloud and a moving curser what a relief. My first ever book was
Rex Roberts Engineered house.  It was a classic and one I would recommend to anyone.
I have been lucky in my working life as I took on extremely dangerous jobs and was successful at them. Diving was one that I didn't master as I could not grasp the concepts of dive time and decompression but learnt first hand what happens when I got it wrong.
I was finally laid off work after the accident in the coal mine then having to fill out forms and screwing that up and not turning up for the employment company's time as I was working and was no good with phones. I was finally breached and had my money taken from me and was close to bankruptsy and was placed on a pension and put out to pasture.
My marriage crashed and I had to bring up my youngest son alone.
But you know I am happy now wheeling and dealing with real money making a small amount just to keep my mind happy.
I did buy two shops and two houses and lost most of the value to floods in two years. I am still so lucky with my lot in life and would have it no other way.

Thoughts

Some time ago I wrote about climate change and space junk.

Here is another one for you to ponder.

Gravity changes on a daily basis and is not constant as some scientists would have you think and believe.

Gravity does change and the proof is in the oceans and the tides. If gravity was constant then there would be no tides.  Then there is the super tides when the planets align.

Some will say that the earths gravity has to be the same and this would be the case if it were only the earth but this isn't, so there is planets and the moon reacting with the earth all the time. It can not be any other way.

One thing we can be certain of is there will be change. This goes for all things including light and its speed!!

Seen in court

I was in attendance at the most bazaar hearing I have ever seen. It was an apprehended violence order (AVO) bought about by the police attending a domestic situation.
The lady knocked a cup of coffee out of her partners hand intentionally ( this being an act of assault ) and the partner in a split second clouted her doing no physical damage. The Partner ran his own case to defend himself.
He was so polite as was his partner saying thank you to all his questions. In questioning the person in need of protection. The lady also was extremely polite.
The hearing lasted a day and the defendant was charged and the AVO was granted and he asked for a section10 which the court allowed which has no recording or costs.
Then the most surprising thing happened he thanked the magistrate for being fair and reasonable.
It did not end there he also approached the police prosecutor who was prosecuting him and thanked him and shook his hand, also for doing his job with out favor and with such vigor.
This is a definitely true story. Professor Iggle

Carbon and carbon taxes

 Facts
Many years ago the world leaders reckoned the earth was flat.
Today the world leaders reckon there is more carbon than there was in the days of Jesus.
So the existence of a carbon tax.
As we all know history repeats its self and the world leaders were proved wrong that the earth is not flat.
The world leaders have got it wrong again there is the same amount of carbon on the planet as there was when Jesus was a boy so why the carbon tax?

Talking to a brick wall

I had the insurance assessor out this week and got all the paperwork finalized I thought. This was after putting in a police report for the the goods that they took five months ago. Then came the phone calls from companies wanting to know what type capacity and the like. I spent a day doing just that going threw what type and pricing using the internet and all I had to do was sit back and get my claim done, not on your Nelly. Just like talking to a brick wall except that the brick wall would have more good things to say. All I can say is PHUCKet.

I have been a critic of lots of things

I have changed my thoughts and will not comment on world news or crimes. This is a loosing battle and I give it over to others who have more experiences than I do.
I am now going to spread the news of love and health for all. Good food and making things of use, are now the way of my future.
I got lost in the bitterness of life. So now things change.  Cheers Iggle
