US. Patent Nov; 4, 1975 Shet 2 of2 if 1 A5 49 METHOD OF BLASTING A SUBTERRANEAN DEPOSIT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to mining operations and more particularly to the blasting of subterranean mineral de posits in carrying out such operations.
2. Prior Art In accordance with a Well-known prior art mining method, a permeable subterranean zone within a mineral deposit, such as oil shale, may be developed by un dercutting the deposit and thereafter expanding a block of overlaying material, such as by explosive fragmentation, so that it forms a permeable porous mass filling the void volume beneath.
An example of the application of this technique is found in US. Pat. No. 3,661,423 which describes an underground formation undercut by a cavity mined out by the room and pillar method. The pillars are explosively broken, and thereafter explosive charges in the overlayer are sequentially detonated from the bottom up so that the overlayer fragments and expands into the undercutting void. Although the method of this patent requires placement of explosive charges in the overlayer, it does not disclose from what vantage point the blasting holes are to be drilled nor does it indicate how such holes are to be oriented. However, when explosive SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is, therefore, a general object of this invention to devise a blasting method for use in the subterranean mining of an ore deposit.
It is a further object of this invention to devise an improved blasting method for use in the mining of a subterranean oil shale deposit.
It is a more specific object of this invention to devise an improved method for the placement of blasting holes in the development of adjacent permeable zones in a subterranean ore deposit.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of this invention, an access entry is driven at a level beneath the top of an underground ore deposit. From this access entry a tunnel is driven transversely along a horizontal or slightly elevated path into and terminating within the ore deposit. A portion of the tunnel spaced from the access entry is further enlarged to form a cavity of predetermined areal extent undercutting the deposit. A raise is driven upwardly from the roof of the cavity into a designated block within the overlaying deposit. From this raise, blasting holes are driven substantially horizontally in a fan-shaped pattern at each of a plurality of vertically spaced levels so that these holes extend adjacent the boundaries of the designated block. Explosive charges are distributed within the blasting holes so as to achieve a desired powder ratio and fragmentation. After removal of the ribs, these 2 charges are progressively detonated in upward sequence so that the designated block of overlaying deposit fragments and expands to occupy the void volume of the undercutting cavity and the raise.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an isometric view, partly broken away, of a zone in an underground deposit being developed in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 2 is an illustration showing zones within an underground deposit in various stages of development in accordance with the method of this invention.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 33 in FIG. 2.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference to FIG. 3 of the drawings, there is illustrated, within an ore deposit 10, such as oil shale, a subterranean zone 11 in progress of development in accordance with the method of this invention and a similar zone 12 fully developed in accordance therewith. The zones 11 and 12 are interconnected with an access entry 12 extending horizontally at a level below the top of the ore deposit by means of transverse zone entries 14. Internally the zone 11 at this stage comprises a block 16 of ore overlaying a void or cavity 18 into which one or more supporting ribs 19 project. In zone 11, a similar overlaying block has been fragmented and expanded.
In order to better understand the details of an operation whereby the zone 10 may be undercut and excavated, attention is directed to FIG. 2. Here a portion of a mining layout is shown in plan including in addition to the zones 11 and 12, zones 20 and 21, at earlier stages of development, as more particularly described in copending application Ser. No. 499696. The access entry 13 communicates with at least one main entry 24 which in turn leads through a vertical shaft (not shown) to an upper mining level or to the surface of the earth. Each of the zones 11, 12,-20, and 21 is interconnected with the access entry 12 by means of one of the transverse tunnels l4.
Initially, a zone entry 14 may be driven from the access entry 12 along a horizontal or slightly elevated path for a predetermined distance into the base of the deposit until a boundary of one of the designated zones, for example, zone 20, is reached. Since it is contemplated that men will be working throughout the tunnel 14, it may be desirable to provide roof bolting along its length. However, the remainder of the deposit undercutting cavity 18 which is mined out from the zone entry 14, may be conveniently formed without the entry of mine personnel.
In order to prepare an undercutting cavity 18 of desired areal extent, a plurality of spaced apart crosscuts 25 are driven into the deposit from the sidewalls of the tunnel 14 in opposite directions approximately at right angles thereto as illustrated in the view of zone 21 in FIG. 2. Adjacent crosscuts 25 on either side of the tunnel 14 are separated by one of the aforementioned ribs 19. The crosscuts 25 terminate within-the ore body, also at boundaries of the designated zone 21. The crosscuts 25 may be made short enough so that they can conveniently be mined and excavated with the use of gathering arm loaders or other equipment which is advanced within crosscuts 25 without the entry therein of personnel. Thus, the need for roof bolting and scaling within the crosscuts 25 is obviated. The spacing between the crosscuts 25 and the number of such crosscuts 25 is optional. If the total area of the cavity 18 is sufficiently small, the ribs 19 formed between adjacent crosscuts 25 may be eliminated altogether. However, preferentially the spacing should be such that the separating ribs 19 are wider than they are high for maximum stability, as such ribs 19 partially support the overlaying block 16. The fact that the ribs 19 are integral with the sidewalls of the undercutting cavity 18 into which they project enhances their strength.
The undercutting cavity 18 which is formed in the manner described above is areally coextensive with the zone to be prepared such as, for example, zone 11, less the erosssectional area of the supporting ribs 19 which will be removed prior to expansion of the overlaying of the deposit 16. The height of the cavity 18 should be selected, in accordance with well known principles, unnecessary to detail here, so that its void volume is sufficient to permit a desired degree of expansion of the block 16 and, if necessary, to avoid substantial subsidence of the overburden. With further reference to FIG. 3, if the floor of a developed zone such as zone 12 is to be slanted or funneled to a liquid gathering sump 26, as, for example, in collecting liquid shale oil, the path of its zone entry 14 and/or associated crosscuts 25 may be deviated appropriately from the horizontal. Also, within the scope of this invention, the cross-sectional area of the cavity 18 may be modified so that it assumes a circular or other desired shape.
The blasting method of this invention will now be described in detail with further reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. From the roof of the cavity 18 at the point of its juncture with the tunnel 14, a raise 31 is driven upwardly to a point adjacent the top level of the overlaying block 16. The raise 31 may be driven from a so-called raise drilling platform which supports an operator. Such an operator will be conveniently positioned at various levels to drill horizontal blasting holes to be described. The raise 31 may also be driven by means ofa so-called raise driver which is a form of self-propelled earth boring machine. Such machines are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,399,738; and their construction and operation form no part of this invention. The common practice is to first drill a pilot hole through the earth's formation between the two points to be connected by a raise, after which the pilot hole is reamed out to the desired diameter of the finished raise.
A plurality of blasting holes 32 are drilled from the raise 31 along nearly horizontal paths into the block 16 at a plurality of vertically spaced apart levels, including a bottom level 34, a plurality of intermediate levels 35, and a top level 36. Additional horizontally extending blasting holes 38 are drilled into and at least partially through the ribs 19. As a practical matter, blasting holes 32 and 38 are driven at a slight upward slant to facilitate flushing out of cuttings and to eliminate standing water.
The blasting holes 32 at each of the levels 34, 35, and 36 extend radially from the raise 31 so that each blasting hole 32 is angularly separated from the most nearly adjacent blasting hole 32 at such level. Also, the blasting holes 32 at any given level preferably extend or are projected to the periphery of the block 16. A typical arrangement for the blasting holes 32 is illustrated by a fan-shaped pattern 40 superimposed for illustrative purposes in dotted outline on the top surface 42 of the block 16.
The blasting holes 32 may be charged with suitable explosives so as to permit effective fragmentation of the block 16. In order to achieve relative uniformity in the distribution of explosive charge over the cross-sectional area of the block 16, it will be necessary to take account of the fact that the physical separation between adjacent blasting holes 32 increases with their distance from the raise 31. One approach which may be employed is to limit the explosive loading of alternate blasting holes 32 at any level so that the concentration of explosive charge in the vicinity of the raise 31 is not CXCGSSIVE.
Upon detonation of the explosive charges in the block 16 and the ribs 19, the void volume available for expansion thereof consists of the cavity 18 increased by the additional void volume of the raise 31. Well-known calculations have dictated the percentage of a given type of ore deposit which must be undercut in order to leave sufficient volume for expansion. For oil shale, for example, this undercut percentage is usually expressed as somewhere between five and thirty percent of the block 16, with optimum values varying with the degree of permeability and porosity to be achieved.
The explosive charges in blasting holes 32 and 38 may now be detonated in upwardly progressing timed sequence. Thus, the ribs 19 may be explosively removed first, after which the blasting holes 32 at levels 34, 3S, and 36 may be detonated in order. The result is that the expanding shock front at each such level experiences least resistance in a downward direction. The vertical separation of the successive patterns 40 of blasting holes should be less than a critical depth, so that as each explosive level is detonated cratering to the free surface below occurs. It is also preferable that the maximum horizontal spacing between adjacent blasting holes 32 within any of the patterns 40 shall not greatly exceed such critical depth.
At least two of the blasting holes 32 at each level 34, 35, and 36 extend in a direction parallel to the face 43 such as along line 44 in the fan-shaped pattern 40. This insures that the face 43 of the resultant permeable zone 11, after detonation, will be smooth blasted to give added strength to the columns of deposit 46 (FIG. 2) separating zone 11 and other like zones respectively from the access entry 13.
Clearly within the scope of the method of this invention, the raise 31 may be positioned at other locations within the undercutting cavity 18. And also, if desirable, more than one raise 31 may be employed in the development ofa single zone 11. However, the use ofa single raise 31 located adjacent the entrance to the cavity 18 from the tunnel 14 is the most economical and preferred arrangement. It also minimizes hazard to personnel due to rock fall, caving, etc.; but perhaps most importantly it facilitates the installation of the necessary ducting for ventilation during mining operations.
In FIG. 3 the zone 12 is shown completely fragmented as a result of the detonation sequence described within the zone 11. If it is desired to use the zone 12 as a retort chamber, for example, in in situ retorting of oil shale, an air hole 50 may be drilled from the surface or an upper mining level into the top of the zone 12 to accommodate a source of oxygen and fuel to ignite and support combustion of the shale. At the same time, the tunnel leading into the zone 12 may be sealed with a bulkhead 52 during retorting operations to eliminate passage of noxious gases into the access entry 13.
, Concentric conduits (not shown) for recovery of carbonaceous values from the zone 12 may easily be introduced from the access entry 13 into the zone 12 through the bulkhead 52, as more particularly described in copending application Ser. No. 499,694.
Although this method has been described and illustrated with respect to a preferred embodiment thereof, many variations or modifications in relative proportions, arrangement, and orientation of specific elements will occur to those skilled in the mining art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as set forth more particularly in the appended claims.

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
More on Sweatshops and Free Markets
Submitted by Michael Kleen on Fri, 2011-04-08 03:00
"In my opinion, a sweatshop is an antiquated form of wage slavery that does not belong in a free society any more than conscription or the Atlantic slave trade. Economists like Paul Krugman have provided an ideological foundation for sweatshops because they are an integral part of the globalist worldview, but that is a worldview that libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, and other likeminded individuals oppose."

Minneapolis was plagued by water main breaks in the early 1900s as the city struggled to meet the needs of its growing population. The water department supervisor, Edmund Sykes, was forced to resign a month after a particularly nasty break that washed out streets on the North Side and lowered water pressure citywide.

With 15 minutes remaining in Saturday's home clash with Waikato FC, Team Wellington coach Matt Calcott had all but given up thinking his team might qualify for back-to-back national grand finals.
Languishing mid-table, and battling to string together too many passes against Waikato, even a semifinal place seemed like it was disappearing into the distance.
But 11 minutes from from fulltime, Luke Rowe bundled the ball into Waikato's net from barely a metre out to establish a 1-0 lead which Calcott's men clung on to till the finish.
That was enough to keep Wellington in fifth place, in the nine-team competition, but within reach of fourth-placed Canterbury with five games to go.
"It was good to get a result, even if it wasn't the best performance in the world.
"It was just good to grind out a result, to be honest," Calcott said. "There's some results we need to be going our way . . . but we've just got to try and keep on a bit of a roll."
Waikato were coming off a 9-1 flogging by Waitakere United and were in no mood to be similarly generous at David Farrington Park on Saturday.
That made for a scrappy affair, as Waikato ripped into everything and Wellington began to worry about the man rather than the ball.
It was enough to have Calcott wondering if it was going to be his team's day.
"Oh yeah, that had crossed my mind. We got better as the game went on but, as I said, it still wasn't one of our best performances," he said.
"But we'd played better earlier in the season and got nothing out of it, so swings and roundabouts."
The reward for hanging in there came when substitute Tom Biss got a ball into the far post where Henry Fa'arodo nodded the ball down to an unmarked Rowe.
Wellington are away to last-placed YoungHeart Manawatu next Sunday.

I can see why this pie won a bake-off! I used about 3 large granny smiths, and added a pinch of tapioca to the filling. My dinner guests laughed as they saw the hugely mounded pie being prepared for the oven. "When are the blackbirds popping out?" he asked. The taste was incredible, and enjoyed by all. Thanks!
This was so easy, crunchy, delicious, etc. I have given out the recipe to everyone who tastes it. I will make it again and again! My husband said it was the best he had ever eaten. I agree. Bev B.
YUMMY is right. This is one of the simplest(and best tasting) pies I have ever made. I peeled the Granny Smith's and it took about 6-7 apples to make 6 cups. DH now wants my Mom and I to have a pie bakeoff so he can see how this compares to her 1st place winning apple pecan pie. Baking times were perfect...this is a winner!!!
I made this for Christmas Eve. I also made the pie without the caramel and pecans only the crumb. Everyone raved about how delicious they were and completely finished the pies Christmas morning. This is a must have recipe! It is very easy. The only difference is that I added one tsp of fresh lemon to the apples. Great!!!
Our Middle School principal doesn't like cake, so for his birthday, we had a pie contest. He was the judge. This was the first pie I've ever made. With this wonderful recipe, I WON!! It is easy and delicious. I also bought an apple peeler at Target ($20) which made this even faster and lots of fun. I followed the recipe just as written. I doubled it so I made 2 pies. My 2 teenage sons and husband loved it too. The topping is amazing. I bought a Pillsbury-Ritz deep dish pie crust. Everyone thought the crust tasted homemade and delicious. I cooked it for 5 minutes prior to filling. WONDERFUL recipe. Thank you for sharing.
The entire family LOVES this pie. I only use Honeycrisp apples, I like their texture and flavor with the seasonings in the recipe. I don't use the Carmel or pecans on the top, since we prefer simple Apple pie. I have to work on the crust, and times...just for my own preferences. <br/>Wonderful recipe.
This recipe doesn't need any more reviews, but I'll add that I made 2, they were excellent & baking time ended up being a little longer. Allow the pie to cool before cutting.
Everyone loved this pie! The only modification i made was that i used walnuts instead of pecans because that is what i had on hand. I will definately make this again, thank you for the wonderful recipe!
The best apple pie I have ever made.
I made this pie yesterday for Thanksgiving and it was the first one to go, everyone loved it! It is seriously the best apple pie I have ever tasted. I definitely give it a 5 star rating

The Wellingtonian
A classic Wellington venue will be revived for the New Zealand Festival next year.
James Cabaret in Hania St was a hub for musical performances in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, but closed in October 2000.
The building, built in 1961, is owned by the Greek Orthodox Community, which has been using it as a community hall.
It was named after Wellington Greek dance legend Jimmy James, who set up a dance academy and cabaret in the building, offering lessons and dine-and- dance evenings.
Its 500-seat capacity made it the perfect in-between venue for those wanting an alternative to a small pub or the large Wellington Town Hall.
It hosted the likes of Headless Chickens, Salmonella Dub, The Finn Brothers, Fur Patrol, Supergroove, Infectious Grooves and Ani Defranco, and was the preferred venue for Shihad for years.
New Zealand Festival director Shelagh Magadza said reviving the venue was a no-brainer and she had insisted it was used during the festival.
"The town hall is closed for earthquake strengthening and the venue will create an intimate party atmosphere where audiences can enjoy music acts from New Zealand and around the world," she said.
"We hope it's going to be one of the highlights of the festival.
"It's also great to be bringing back artists such as Jon Toogood, in Silo Theatre's Brel, who toured the James Cabaret in the 1990s with Shihad."
When it was closed by the Greek community, the venue had to cancel bookings as far forward as 2004.
The weekend after it was closed all the fittings were auctioned, from the venue's New York-style skyline mural down to the floorboards.
Ms Magadza said she had fond memories of the venue before it closed.
"I went to the New Zealand International Arts Festival production Blue Smoke there in 2000 and also had an unforgettable night at Supergroove."
She said the size of the venue meant tickets could be kept under $50 and there would be a free DJ after the Saturday night shows. The acts playing at the James Cabaret during the festival are: American Charles Bradley, February 22 and 23; Brel: The words and music of Jacques Brel, February 26 till March 2; Australian group Suitcase Royal, March 5 till 7; Kiwi Candice McQueen, March 8 till 9; Irishman Paul Brady, March 9; American Neko Case, March 12 and 13; and Colombian Frente Cumbiero, March 14 and 15.
Born Dimitrios Skafidas in Athens, Greece, on February 15, 1915.
Arrived in Wellington in 1928. Joined the Phyllis Bates School of Dancing in Willis St.
Changed his name to Jimmy James when about 17 and started teaching dance. By 1941, he had established his own studio in Willis St, where he remained for 20 years.
Organised the first Jimmy James ball, in 1936, at the Adelphi Cabaret in Cuba St. The ball lasted into the 1970s.
Lived in Adelaide Rd with wife, Anne Blewman. Helped organise the first New Zealand dance championships, in Wellington in 1952.
Co-founded the New Zealand Federation of Dance Teachers in 1956 and was its president for 10 years. Taught dance in Wellington high schools in the 1950s and 1960s. Died at the Mary Potter Hospice in Newtown on July 4, 1992.

A day later, Mitt Romney comments take back seat to Olympic opening ceremonies
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Romney's comments regarding London's preparedness for the Summer Games were poorly timed but not entirely inaccurate, Fraser Bullock, Chief Operating Officer of the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, said today.
"Every Olympics has challenges, and this one will as well. It's just a normal part of putting on the Games, particularly the first few days as people are trying to work things out, security and transportation," Bullock said by phone from London on KSL Radio's "Doug Wright Show" Friday morning, a day after Romney's comments exploded in controversy.
Romney questioned the readiness of London in an interview with NBC's Brian Williams Thursday that captured the attention of media both overseas and in the U.S. It quickly became a rallying cry for the Brits and put Romney on the defensive. Romney now is only hours away from attending the opening ceremonies, even as London hopes for the best.
"It's normal and so it happens every time and Mitt just pointed that out," Bullock said of Olympic-sized challenges every host city faces. "Probably his biggest issue was timing. If he would have said it a week ago it wouldn't have mattered, but coming the day before opening ceremonies people are focused on the Games and that probably just heightened the issue."
Bullock said that people need to forget about Romney's comments and focus on the Olympics and the athletes.
"They shouldn't detract from the spectacle of the athletes. That's what we are all focusing on," Bullock said. "The stories and these inspirational moments and these lifetimes that have been put together by these athletes. And the stories that are going to unfold will just be a great masterpiece for all of us to watch."
Bullock said London and its people look ready for the Olympics.
"People are very friendly, they're very excited, the traffic is extremely challenging to say the least. The city is ready, there's a lot of buzz around here, a lot of enthusiasm," Bullock said. "The security is everywhere, in parks and it's very friendly, non-obtrusive but it's everywhere."
He said that the people of Utah were wonderful and made the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics what they were.
"In Salt Lake, our wonderful people just set the stage for our Games, friendliness, efficiency, welcoming everybody, and people in the Olympic community still remember that," he said. "And here, in the U.K., in London, I'm seeing the same attitude."

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Philadelphia Police are investigating after they found a man shot nine times in an apartment in the Wyoming section of the city early Thursday morning.
This happened just after midnight on the 4500 block of Bouvier Street.
Police say the 28-year-old victim was shot in his torso, chest and both legs and was taken to Einstein Hospital where he is listed in critical but stable condition. No one else was reported injured.
Police are now looking for three individuals they believe were involved, who they say all fled on foot in different directions. One suspect was said to be wearing a white t-shirt, another a red t-shirt and the third a dark-colored t-shirt.
Police have no motive at this time, but inside the shooting scene police found narcotics paraphernalia leading them to believe this could be drug related.
As the investigation continues, police are waiting to talk to the victim at the hospital.

Bulls-Nets Game 3 Preview: Get back inside, it's freezing out here
The Chicago Bulls surprised the Brooklyn Nets by taking away the interior in Game 2. Can the Nets get that back and find Deron Williams' game?
Previewing Game 3 of the Nets-Bulls first round series.
1. Where We're At: The series is even at 1-1 after the Chicago Bulls bounced back from an embarrassing performance in Game 1 with a great effort on both ends of the floor to beat the Brooklyn Nets in Game 2. While the Bulls are often known as a defensive unit, they were actually pretty accurate from inside the 3-point line. The Bulls knocked down 48.1 percent of their shots in Game 2. Joakim Noah fueled the fire with his valiant effort (essentially on one foot) and Nazr Mohammed stepped up to make some big shots.
2. The Big Number: 30. After scoring 56 points in the paint in Game 1, the Brooklyn Nets managed just 30 points in the paint in Game 2. The Nets made 74.3 percent of their shots in the restricted area in the first game. Brook Lopez made seven shots, Deron Williams made six shots, and Gerald Wallace made four shots -- all in the restricted area. They lived in the paint because they could push the ball and force matchup problems. That didn't happen in the second game because the Bulls made shots and ended up taking away the transition chances for Brooklyn. Without that luxury for Brooklyn, they made just 46.7 percent of their shots in the restricted area.
3. Key Adjustment: Taking away the paint. The Bulls ability to take away the paint turned the Nets from a team pounding the ball in the paint to a team that was forcing to get the ball into the middle and settling for bad jumpers when it didn't work. And predictably, the bad jumpers were a terrible backup plan. Part of this was the effort of Joakim Noah inside. He was able to play stellar defense and that set the tone for everybody walling off the inside. Brooklyn had to pray for their 3-point shots to fall and they made just 4 of 21 attempts. The Bulls' do a great job of forcing the ball from a confined area on the baseline to a contested jumper on the weak side. The Nets will have to get creative to find open looks in the paint again.
4. The Big Story: Which Deron Williams is going to show up? The Deron Williams we've seen since the All-Star break carried over into the first game of this series, prompting Nets fans to pound their chest at the dominating superstar they loved to root for. Unfortunately for Deron, that went completely away when they took away the painted area. He made just one shot in nine attempts and never looked comfortable attacking while looking for his own shot. He was still able to distribute nicely (10 assists and just two turnovers), but without the threat of him scoring, it took away a major weapon for his team.
5. The Facts: 8:30 p.m. ET start time. Joakim Noah is playing through plantar fasciitis and Derrick Rose is out with a year-old ACL tear.

Frustrated at home!

For the past 6 months my household and family have been in turmoil. Every night after working hard all day and earning the ONLY living for our household, I come home to a drunk cat! And I'm sick if it! I work hard all day every day and the least my cat could do is stay sober like a normal pet! And at least twice a week, he's bringing another random cat into my house for one of his all night drunken sex-fests. It's disgusting. What do I do?
#2 Nov 5, 2012
Are ya serious? It the cat a metaphor for your husband or wife?

#3 Nov 5, 2012
Go see a doctor. Explain to him how much of a looser and a loner you are, which has affected your humor skills and hinders any opposite sex attraction. I m sure a pyschitrist will talk, treat and preaceibe something for you. I would suggest, start off by properly grooming yourself, take a shower immediately and retire your R2D2 tshirts. Its all down hill ride from there.
Oh btw, you were not funny, but since the giving season is coming up, i figured i give 2 minutes of my time to a needy
#4 Nov 5, 2012
I'm so glad you posted your opinion. I am single and lonely. No one wants me and I can't even find anyone to hang around me except my drunk cat. I will go see a professional. I'm calling right now. Thank you so much for your kind words.

I just found a psychiatrist to "preaceibe"me some meds, as you put it. Maybe one day I won't be such a "looser."
