G'day and welcome to AF! ^ _ ^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Greetings,

Nice to see another Victorian on the website.

I live with my two four-legged Gods, Dash and Gus, who are supposed to be Golden retrievers. However I seem to be their retriever as well as their butler, chef, masseur, cleaner, and general dog's body.

I was expelled from a Christian Brothers ("Buggers" is more like it!) school in early 8th grade for punching a Brother and breaking his nose. Excluding in-house trade courses I had no further formal education.

Most of my working life was spent with the Civil Aviation Authority as a Radio Lineman/Rigger. I retired from there in 1990 and did 2 years of a Community Development Diploma before the majority militant Marxist feminists in the course drove me fucking insane and I dropped it.

I started my own business in 1992 and it went absolutely gang busters from the start so I was able to retire comfortably from the workforce in 1998.

I hate all religions. However I believe the Abrahamic religions are, and always have been, the bane of humanity. Essentially these three vile cults inculcate a sense of smug superiority in their members and over unbelievers, who they see as a sinful untermenschen fit only for a subordinate, servile role to them here on earth and for hell fire fuel in the hereafter. These posers secretly believe they are Gods-in-waiting, "His" earthly ambassadors, and his Inquisitorial decency police, tasked with arraigning, prejudging, and condemned sinners on Jesus' behalf.

Naturally these natural born control freaks and wannabe Nazi Blockleiters will vehemently deny all this on a stack of Bibles. But if they are true believers of what is fundamentally the Hebrew Mein Kampf, i.e. the Bible, they couldn't help but to be so.

If I had my way they would be outlawed and an open season declared on them all. Wink

There, I hope this doesn't get me banned before I even start! Undecided

Sadly, I never visited the mother plant. I worked only in the US plants at Knoxville, TN and Columbia, SC.
However, Several Australians did work with me, so now I am an Expert on all things Australian. If you have any questions, feel free to ask..

There for a moment I thought you meant being alive while Queen Victoria yet reigned.

Hey, I'm no longer the oldest old bastard here. Feels good to be young.

Welcome, Snidely. Here are my two Golden pains in the ass pulling their usual routine of wanting to come back in the house.

As promised, My Lord's and My Dog's, Dash, the larger one, and Gus. Both are males but Dashie is convinced he is Gus's mother. He is always tongue washing Gus's face, inner ears, even his paws. And woe betide any dog or human who Dashie perceives is threatening Gus.

They are both inside dogs with beds in the lounge room and in my bedroom. At the moment they are watching the cricket with me. You could say they are spoilt fucking rotten!

For some reason the photo won't publish! I'll keep trying.
