Hey Tony, just want to say thanks - Also want to mention , I have never read any complaints on your readings, we always feel like the negative out-ways the positive when it comes to critique - but it looks to me that you have an overwhelming positive fanbase. Please be buffered by that if you have any "complaints".... We are all so grateful for your generous effort - it is day-brake here of an Australian cold winter day The magpies, that here, sing a delightful warbling song, are finding me awake & battling punishing ruminations from PTSD. Your readings consistently sooth the quiet torturous state. But even on good days I am just so grateful for your efforts here. I know I'm not the only one, we are multiplying. Absorb the love & gratitude I see in all these comments Tony :)
Regarding who might be interested in engines: Career day in 6th grade, I (f, now 64) went to the engine repair workshop because I was planning to take after my uncle and be a mechanic. The instructor kicked me out and told me to go to the home-ec or nursing workshop instead. I think for many women, it's not a lack of interest but a lack of support for their interest. Aside from that, excellent reading and commentary as always. Thanks so much!
How dare they! I remember taking drafting in 9th grade elective & hearing at the parent teacher evening how the boys might go into architectural, civil, or mechanical engineering & that the girls will be able to draw a better picture for a bathroom or kitchen remodel to give to their husbands. My 1st BA was designed as AUDIO/VISUAL ART: Photography, Audio Recording, Video Production (the intranet was only around when I first started college & the www was created in my last year) well before all these “VISUAL COMMUNICATION” degrees & where EVERY SINGLE JOB is a matter of “tap & click” activities. I spend over 25years in the RocknRoll/Corporate/Arts AV Industry until my health issues advanced & I needed health insurance (boo! for the USA!) before Obama helped usher in our semi-helpful Health Care Bill, which lead me to return to college for an AA degree in CADD. I then went on to participate in creating eco-sustainable aircraft engineering designs that helped save our company money, our customers money, & our environmental resources! So, I say to those bay sayers, “Go Turn a SCREW, YOU!” and go on about my merry way. It is true we wombans have a long way to go BUT we have come along way! Thank you for sharing your story, it reminded me of my IGNORANT & SEXIST Drafting Teacher in the 9th grade…& then gave me a smile for my OWN ACHIEVEMENTS anyway!!!
Lovved your ramble on this one .. as an expat living in Thailand there are so many things I don't miss! I would like to come back at some point and do some of the long distance walks, but all the other stuff .. no thanks! Anyway, thanks for this, as usual!
Thank you for the fantastic story. I haven't read any Conan Doyle, only watched various moves and series. Also thank you for the chat. You revived a memory I have of a story my mom told of my very English Great Gran. She wasn't going to put up with that cast just because her leg was broken. She told her son, take it off or I will! Now that is terror...!
Thank God/dess I check your channel regularly to see if I have missed anything! I spend most of my Sundays on here! Arthur C Doyal is fascinating to me because he had similar beliefs to me and just because of a few frauds shouldn’t make the whole belief in something other than that which our physical eyes can see, make us come across as gullible or foolish! And the strange thing is that a lot of people that judged him for his beliefs, believe wholeheartedly in a book that wasn’t even started while any of the people in it were still alive! (The gospel of Thomas and the Dead Sea scrolls were an exception and the church tried its best to suppress them like all that other secret artefact’s hidden in the Vatican according to whistle blowers) Written by men and vandalised by the council of Nicaea! Female names discarded and the wife of Jesus who was most likely the wisest and most gifted spiritually of the disciples, was made into a demon possessed whore by the church! But forgive me, this is not the place to get into that! My point is that if we all would live and let live, life would be a lot easier for all of us! Great job and fab writer so thank you so much for finding this 💎 gem!
This story explains the mystery of missing ✈ airplanes. And the phenomenon of raw meat 🍖 falling from the skies. Heretofore thought to be venison or slaughtered cattle strewn through the atmosphere by tornadoes destroying a slaughterhouse. Think again I say !!!
