I meant Old radio(american drama's,
comedies, mystery, macabre, and
horror) and a replica 1934 radio with
glowing dial when on. www.radiospirits.com
will give you a good idea, and they have
replica radios to boot!

and How's it going with you?
How's your free time before
your 2nd year? What is currently
going on with the psycho-crew
you go adopted with?

Sincerely,

Science Officer Mr.Ghosthunter Log:

We were scanning the hills of the
are called the "Himulanans". The
mountains are perpetually snowed
and so we beamed down to investigate.

The captain, after his fling with the
big-busted Emoicon has developed
a sexual appetite for these strange
creatures. I returned to the ship
but the captain stayed behind with
Lt.Scoots and Lt.Elfman to keep
his weird appetite under control.

End of log.

Hummm-Unnnn-Hmmmmm!

Science Officer(acting Captain) Mr.
Ghosthunter, apparently the captain
has lost his communicator? Were
getting strange gargling noises.

Lt.Sophist I will report to the bridge.
(as I ended my report rather abruptly)

Shuuuuuuushhhuua!(door opens to bridge)
and the ships computer speak! Welcome
Mr.Ghosthunter(as it displays itself in muscular
tones lifting weights to heavy metal rythmes).
Sigh!(thinks Mr.Ghosthunter, this is what
happens when you get emoticon techs
helping us with our computers)!

Thankyou LowFrequency! (As bustily female
goes to computer image and it's winks
mischieviously and turns off image)

"Ooooooh! my BIG HAIRY LOVE BUCKET!"

"GRRRR! HUMMMMM! PRUUUUUMM! PURR!"

Mr.Ghosthunter the mountain is have a minor
earthquake in one little nook of it's pattern

Sigh! Computer raise image, Hmmph! Hmmph!
"I mean LowFreq"! Hmmmmm! boinka-boinka-
rumble-rumble!

Why? It's the captain Dunctivis! exclaimed the shocked
computer, and "Boy am I jealous". Hmmmmm?
say's Mr.Ghosthunter, can't you just act like a
computer, I know your smart, but.....Sigh!(goes
Mr.G.h).

Too BAAAD for a signiture


This was done in the "Beasiality" forum!
I hope you aren't offended, I was trying
to make it humorous and in tune with the
topic of the forum.

I live in a greyish blue 1970s tri-level house (that has been somewhat remodeled) with my parents. We moved in two years ago. Our house consists of four bedrooms. Two of them are guest rooms, one is mine (I'm an only child), and the other is my mum and dad's. One guest room, my room, and my parents' room are upstairs. We have three bathrooms in our house. Two of them are upstairs also.

Our living room, dining room, and kitchen are on the entry level. The living room is huge with bay windows. The dining room and kitchen are on the smaller side. There is a sliding door that opens from the dining room into the back yard.

Downstairs is the other guest room, another bathroom, our computer room, the garage, and the laundry. There is also a door that opens to the back yard which also leads to the workshop/shed part of the house (it is attached). Seeing as we moved in two years ago, our garage is still full of boxes and my parents just park in the drive. My nana (who is visiting from Australia) is staying in the guest room at the moment.

Our back yard is great (when the two dogs aren't destroying it, of course :roll: ). We have a huge deck, a nice garden, and an underground swimming pool with a diving board and a slide. Therefore, we host a lot of parties in the summer.

I still need to decorate my room. There aren't even any posters on the walls yet. They are just bare and boring white. Ugh. I started a colour theme in the old house, which I'm planning on continuing. I really should do some painting this summer. I have a walk in closet in my room. I'm really messy and have books, CDs, papers, and clothes strewn about on the floor. I hate cleaning my room. Oh well...I have to do that before I can decorate.

Hey, Ghosthunter, I'm into Old Time Radio, too, although it's been awhile since I've listened.

I like Radio Spirits, but they are too expensive. Normally, I wait for a sale.

I haven't really listened to comedy, but I'm a fan of the other genres. My favorite lately is the Whistler. I also like Lights Out. Inner Sanctum can be fun, too, although a bit on the cheesy side.

I mostly live in the house in witch I grew up. It has a huge garden that I can chille out in all day. And I do indeed chill out and slack off. There is also a river. And the garden is by the forest, and there are not any neighbours really. It is in the valley where my town is. Basicaly in the forest/mountains. It is so great there now, everything is blooming and the birds are singing and the weather is awesome. The midnightsun of course blesses the valley with its light.

Well anyway, right now I am in my mothers appartment in a "bigger town"(50.000) cause my parents are divorced. My brothers also live here, but I am not here that often, this will be my first time staying here alone! But I find it extrmely comfortable beeing alone so. Anyways it has a balcony and it a terriffic view of the sea. I kinda like it.

My third place of residence is a cabin in the mountains by an artificial lake, with alot of cabins by that lake, but very peaceful, and there aren't any people there exept for maybe the easter/springbreak-season... When I am there I chill out as usual, and read and blast music or whatever, coz who is gonna hear it.. the birds..? Well Basically the cabin is about the same as my house, exept it is a cabin (=small!) and it is in the middle of nowhere, and there are peaks to be climbed and treks to be trekked. And there are only other cabins, and the nearest shop for food is 1 hour away I think, and it has this dirt road witch ends at the lake, the lake beeing kind of high in altitude.

If I had to chose one place I guess I would chose the cabin as my favourite place, allthough only during the summer, I would never want to actually live there. Plus it is not possible to live there.

Cool question by the way.

No idea where my name appeared in the Starship WP segment.... was a little confused as to who/what was doing what with who/what.... perhaps its just as well. :lol:

In answer to the question, I live in a Victorian back-to-back terrace house, no yard but four bedrooms for me and mel and three kids (I think you would call it a row house). My neighbourhood is somewhat rundown and can be a bit dodgy, but the people are rough but mostly friendly, the kids have friends and nobody gives us too much crap. The schools nearest our neighbourhood are very bad, as is the local park, but its very cheap here - and the Worth valley and moors are minutes away.

Good luck on your quest!

Dunc

Ahhh. Back in 1992 during the evening hours, WGN out of chicago would play those kinds of programs and when I couldn't get to sleep at night, I would tune those in listen to them for awhile.

I have settled back into home life. I have adopted a somewhat staggered work schedule that means I won't be getting any routine sleep. Not that it really matters anyway, I haven't had a regular sleep schedule in a long long time.

One member of my psycho work crew is in the hospital, having relapsed into an episode. The bi-polar managed to bonk his head really good sunday night which resulted in him going into a really bad mood.

I on the other have been working at trying to keep overloads at bay. They seem to come at random. One minute I'll be doing fine, then it hits and I get really lethargic and I want is to be home burying my face into my pillow.

GH,

You took the two most....unusual....things about me, things others tend to frown upon, and made them positives.

Thank you. You have made my week.

I live in the southeast suburns of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Minnesota Metropolitan area. I'm sure most newer developements look similar no matter there built. :?

And yes, I think lilocs are a favorite. Do you have any favorite flowers or plants?

I personally lived in Sunnyvale, California from

sold that house.

It was a 1955-Large Trackhome that was built

This makes being the autism spectrum
a little more balanced for your parents

I personally wait for a sale their too! I did a project
and found hundreds of fans sites and a 100 episode
or less of downloadable(fan site) episodes of the
shadow, green hornet, lone ranger, (one of my
cheesy favorites) Witches Tale ©34'-37', Whistler,
ect....! I burned them on CD and had fun finding
them. The problem is that I tend to not bookmark
the sites, thus adding adventure in the seeking of
these episodes.

How are you? What is in your old-time radio collection?

Hmmmmmm? When I collect radio episodes, I link
their BIG LITTLE BOOKS, COMICS, AND PULPS as
additional collectible memorabilia. This is why I have
a oddly theme'd comics collection. I build it around
my favorite, and some misclanteous radio shows.

Kid Colt is about the only non-continuing run that I will
collect, ©48'-79' by Timely, Marvel, Atlas, Marvel.

What kind of theme'd comics do you collect?

My parents' house is pretty big and right now I'm living in my old bedroom upstairs. Half of the walls are painted a pale peach and the other half are mottled light and dark orange. I've got two strips of incandescent lights like art gallery lights that spotlight different areas of the room and the walls. My mattress is on the floor in one corner, the door's in one corner, and the other two are my workstation which is an old door balanced on boxes, and my painting corner which is right now full of junk because I'm moving and packing. Right in the middle is a dark green potted tree.

I designed the room and it's pretty close to ideal. Now if it was just in an apartment in a different town, instead of my parents' house, it would be perfect.

No! not really. I know plant-people and how
affectionate they put their energies into their
plants that even the cat gets jealous and eats
the over-affectionated plant so the cat gets
attention, but otherwise, no. Sorry!

What was the 2nd unusual thing that I brought
up?

Hi, sorry for the confusion, Ghosthunter. I don't have a job yet. The reason I'm packing most of my things now is so that I can be ready to move out at a moment's notice, when I do get a job. I don't want to have to tell the company that I can't be there for a couple weeks because I'm still packing.

The house was actually built only six years ago. My room is peach and orange because I love fire colors - fire is my element. I painted it myself when the house was first built. The rest of the house is more sane colors, yellow and cream and salmon.

As for my parents, I explained some of it in the PM I sent a couple of days ago. I'm getting along with them just fine, no fights, because I'm not trying to share a lot of my life with them. We're just living alongside each other, but our orbits don't really overlap.

The para-schiz is in the hospital after having an episode

The bi-polar was trying to unload a pallet when the side he was working on fell down due to bad stacking and a heavy case hit him on the head and knocked him to the ground.

I had to fight off overload again tonight. I spent three hours at work staring at an LCD monitor with flourescent lights in the back round. As I've posted here before, flourescent tubes seem to be one of my big foils. And also, as I've pointed out here before, my brain seems to have a defense mechanisim built in. My brain went into shutdown mode where I enter a twilight state and my brain stops any attempt to make sense of incoming sensory input. I attempted to look down at the floor, but it was no use, my head began to throb in agony one hour in, and the next two were a living hell for me. Even after I left to go home, my mind was still in a fog as I drove home. I popped three aleeve and 60 minutes later, I feel well enough to get on the CPU and type this up.
