How old are you ????

[Maine Digger]

I couldn't agree more to your agreement, can we agree upon that, or do you disagree?

I shall not travel down this baited road again lest your response to, and impression of me be:

O the terror - the suffering, for all the world to see,
the worst terror that ever met my eyes.
what madness swept over you? What god,
what dark power lept beyond all bounds,
beyond belief, to crush your wretched life?
godforsaken, cursed by the Gods!
I pity you but I can't bear to look.
I've much to ask, so much to learn,
so much facinates my eyes,
but you...I shudder at the site. (form Oedipus Rex)

'Cruel is the strife of brethren'

Bottles, Bottles, Bottles, Bottles
nuff said?

See? I predicted the struggle would work itself out. But read the book; it is an eye-opener.

In 1992 in Orlando, I spent several agonizing hours listening to Landmark speakers, then fending off Landmark "closers" who wanted my $700. Afterward, I did research on the operation because the woman I was seeing was caught up in the $700-$400-$400-$400-$400....rapture. I saved her a lot of money.

"Weak-minded" is not directly related to education.

We did diverge slightly from the original topic (our ages), but the original purpose was served (self-disclosure). It was civil, we learned about one-another, perhaps we learned something about human nature.

We now know that Norm is an O.L.D.F.A.R.T. and that Brian is 15 years old at heart. And we know who is at the top of the hierarchy -- Roger.

But, now I have this bitters bottle I'd like to know more about.

Harry ......Wouldn't it have been much easier to just tell your age ? HaHa


What kind of Bitters do you have anyway ? I can tell you about it if you'd take the info from a 15 year old at heart ! )

 

[Maine Digger]

UMM #@&* = % ????? %%$700, $400............... There, I feel better already[8D]

 

[Harry Pristis]

Brian...

I wouldn't have missed this discussion for anything! Some people do crossword puzzles to keep sharp. I like arguing complex ideas. There is nothing that helps me focus my thinking like trying to explain my thoughts in writing to someone else.

Of course, I would like to have your info on my Arabian Bitters bottle. I have posted a pic here: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m_6179/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#6179

(It was the other Brian, BRichardson5, who claimed to be 15 years old at heart. Sorry for the confusing reference.)

OK now you have all had your fun, if anyone wants to reply to this thread again keep it to your age, that WILL be the end of the "other" conversation, thanks.

And yes your right, the hierarchy here go's Roger, Mod's then members [] , although the members make the site what it is (the best bottle site on the net).

 

[BRIAN S.]

OK Harry ! My apology !
I thought you were taking a stab at me for a minute there!
I'll go check out the pic of your bottle in a sec . Brian
