Re: Where can you get these?

Hmmmm, so it IS a name!
Glad we sorted that one.

You're calling me a liar because you can find one of my postings where I  
_didn't_
use "he/she"?
<sheesh>

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
You'd need to show that I _never_ used "he/she" or variations in _any_ of
my posts and never had any intentions of doing so to show that I was a  
liar.

It appears to me that you are excessively upset over being called "she".
Would you have been equally upset if I had said "he"?
I think we've identified the person here with the sexist tendencies!

"White Power/Stormfront"??? I think we've identified the racist as well!

No, merely counting the number of points put forward by the person intent
on demonstrating his/her extreme sexism.

Great demonstration!

Are you suggesting that Christians aren't sexist?

So when did women in the USa get the vote? Equal pay?

Civilization in Muslim countries has been around for c8,000 years, USa,
perhaps 25-30 years.

How many centuries ago was that?

What planet are you on??? We had a female Prime Minister for the last
9 years. We have numerous heads of Government Departments who are female
and numerous female CEOs etc. We're way ahead of the USa on such matters.
<sheesh>

Did you post a picture of your testies somewhere? How should I know your  
gender
other than by the name you post under?

Sure it did. And of *course* you've never heard of Googling a strange
word before, you poor ignorant thing...

twibill definition

twi·bill or twibil twi′·bil′ (twī′bil′)

noun

  1. a double-bladed battle-ax
  2. Brit., Dialectal a kind of mattock

Liar. This is your exact wording: " Twibil first refered to "it", that
being the subject she was responding to,
 and then added a new subject at the end of her sentence. "

There is no "he" or "he or she" in evidence. Not in that entire post.

Oldest trick in the book. "You caught me doing something stupid and
called me on it so *you* must be guilty of the same thing or you
wouldn't have noticed."

Doesn't fly when the White Power/Stormfront a.sholes try it, and
doesn't fly for you either.

? Are you raving? (Okay, silly question.)

Oh. My. God.

The little prick thinks that nobody reads the papers or knows anything
about Fundie Islamists and how they treat women.

Yeah, "sigh". Now tell us how women are actually treated in Christian
countries as opposed to say, Afghanistan or Nothern Pakistan,  where
women are regularly killed for the crime of learning how to read. Or
perhaps you'd prefer Saudi Arabia and varous other locales where
they're simply kept in reasonably comfortable slavery for their entire
lives?

Seems Muslim Fundies define "equality" a bit differently than
civilised folks.

Uh-huh. She *left* New Zealand because if she'd stayed there rather
than emigrating to US she could have -in her words- been a teacher, a
librarian, a secretary, or somebody's stay-at-home wife.

There wasn't any. She came back to the US and last I heard was high in
the management of a large department store chain: something she'd have
had no chance of doing in New Zealand.

And once again he demonstrates what he just claimed wasn't true.

Actually, it was you who responded to my comment in regards to Ray with a  
put-down.
"Twibil" sounds to me like a feminine name.

Did you fail to notice that I used "he or she" numerous times?
Yes, you would fail to notice that.

I assumed "Twibil" to be a name for a female, hust as I would "Sue" or  
"Marion".
There was _no_ insult intended or implied. Obviously, as you've taken  
_three_
points (A, B and C) you consider being judged a female to be inferior and  
an
equivalent to being called a "nigger". So you're both a sexist and a  
racist.
Hmmm.

Four points!

Hmm, now you're a religeous bigot as well!
For your information, the Koran specifically states that men and women are  
equals,
while the Bible demands that they are not equals.
<sigh>

That would put you yanks back talking about niggers and women staying
barefoot in the kitchen while pregnant.
Here in New Zealand women gained the vote and equality in (from memory)  
1892.
Our "niggers" gained equality in 1840.
Obviously you still haven't spotted her sarcasim.

So, have you decided yet which gender you are?

No, Poopsie, the "whoosh" is that you not only fail to understand what
others have said, but that you also completely fail to comprehend what
you've said about yourself. But follow the bouncing ball, and I shall
demonstrate:

(A) You don't like me, but you lacked anything cogent to say and so
resorted to the good old Ad Hominem insult by repeatedly calling me
"she" and "her".

(B) This is about what we've come to expect of you, and using ad
hominem arguments generally only makes the guy who uses them look bad,
but even that pales next to the suicidal path you chose to take:
implying that I'm a "she".

(C) Ya see, you would't have said that unless you thought it was an
insult, and *that* tells us exactly how you think about women: as
inferiors that any man should be ashamed to be associated with. If you
*didn't* think of them that way it wouldn't have been an effective
insult, and that was quite obviously what you intended. It's the
sexual equivalent of calling someone a "nigger".

(D) The word we're looking for here is "misogynist" ["a misanthrope
who dislikes women in particular"], and it is *not* a complimentary
term, any more than are "racist" or "bigot".

(E) It's 2009, and most of the non-muslim world has long accepted that
women are not our inferiors, and are indeed frequently fun to be
around for reasons other than rough sex or being fed non-frozen and
non-canned food on a regular basis. (I'm told that some guys have even
grown to *like* them!)

(Aside) I was once engaged to a lovely young New Zealand girl, and
before taking me home to meet her parents she cautioned me to "Set
your watch back 30 years when we get off of the plane".  Turned out
she was right.

But in your personal case, I suspect that you're going to need a
really healthy time-machine to shoot you back to that place much-
beloved of insecure males: the place where "men were men", females
were considered inherently inferior, and guys like you were run-of-the-
mill citizens instead of being considered pathetic losers, as you are
today.

I do not claim to understand "everything". I certainly wouldn't claim
to understand incomprehensible people such as you.
Your claim is your very own "whoosh".

Regards,
Greg.P.

BU-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!  And *he* claims to be the one who understands
everything!

Classic "whoosh".

Twibil first refered to "it", that being the subject she was responding to,
 and then added a new subject at the end of her sentence.
I understand English very well, but it would appear that you are (on
 this occassion at least) incapable of comprehending basic written English.

Regards,
Greg.P.

And you have just proven that you *can't* comprehend written English...

That's two seperate subjects in one sentence; sarcasm and reading  
comprehension(?)

That wasn't my intention.

Regards,
Greg.P.

Apparently I'm better at it than you are at reading comprehension.

And speaking of Trolls.

Are you no good with sarcasm?
I guess US humour really is different to the real world's.

OW!

With friends like you, who needs enemas?

(Bows, does quick buck-and-wing off to stage-right.)

What do you mean? Ray counts me as his best friend!

Sayeth the man with no discernible friends here. How smart is *that*?

Ok. I find you in contempt.

Man, you really are stupid.

Ray

Sure they are, Ray.

Note: should you ever discover the meaning of the word "truth", you
will find that nearly everyone respects it, and that those who don't
are held in almost universal contempt.

Your call.

The fans of irony are laughing their heads off at you both.

Ray

Eh.  I've not been here long enough pass judgement on what Ray has -or
hasn't- posted in the past, but he seems singularly bent on trying to
build up his own ego by putting other folks down, and he doesn't
bother letting truth stand in his way, either.

Now me, I've never claimed to be the pink fairy of sweetness, but
telling obvious -and repeated- lies would seem to be counter-
productive for someone who wants people to respect him...

On 6/10/2009 5:00 PM Twibil spake thus:

Probably never, if history is any guide.

Good advise from the one single soul on RMR who's managed to make
enemies of a coalition of posters who would normally have nothing in
common save a love of model railroading and an abiding dislike for
*him*.

So when are *you* going to begin posting some relevant threads,
Poopsie?

Fans of irony take note.

Ray

Yup. Someone asks politely for more information, and someone else
feels compelled to post a snotty put down in reply.

There's always gotta be one.

Check Fittings, Wood, Figures, etc
 page 3 has blocks and working block
 page 7 has brass sheaves
 page 8 has bulk supply of bocks

Do you want us to blow your nose too?

On 6/10/2009 6:16 AM fl@liner spake thus:

Dunno where you came up with that. Searching for "pulley", "sheave" and
"block" on that page comes up with zilch. (They show kits that *include*
pulleys, but none separately that I can see.) Can you point us to a link
to pulleys there?

http://www.naturecoast.com/hobby/catalog.htm
lists several sizes of sheaves and blocks.

My scratch building supplies have developed a hole in the inventory.  Where
can I obtain small sheaves and pulleys in HO gauge?  I had several but
recently needed 4 sheaves the same size for a high ball signal and I
couldn't even match any two form the small pile on hand and I've been out of
pulleys for quite awhile.  I looked on the web but found nothing useful.
Specifically I need a small sheave about 18" diameter and single block
pulleys but can't seem to find either.  I'd appreciate any help you can give
me.
