Lois-
Go ahead and e-mail me when you're done posting on this thread, and I'll give 'er a quick count. Until then, I'll be CLIMBING, which is kind of, oh, I don't know... a common thread around here- a frame of reference we all share, if you will.
P.S. - Has an Easterner STILL not taken you top roping in your quarry? A shame.

HossJulia--You're right. I was part of the hijacking and deleted also. Sorry Pat.
Lois, please be considerate of this thread's intent: Tales of Karma. It's not about psychoanalyzing other's experiences, nor is it about climbing in the quarry. Thanks.

It might turn out to be good Karma if you posted a photo of that quarry.

This doesn't sound like he wanted to explore the nature of Karma........ But pictures would be good.

"Correct me if I am wrong, but I got the impression that the OP was exploring the phenomenon of karma and inviting posts related to that topic."
Lois, I think you're incorrect...Pat asked for Tales of Karma, not the psychological implications of what you think might be going on in someone else's life. This means personal anecdotes of things that happened to you, and how karma might be reflected in that.
Of course, regardless of what you choose to do, thank you so much for being my helpful monster. You're certainly one of the best, and I mean that most sincerely.

LEB, start a new thread.
And have a modicum of respect and delete your silly posts here.
Are you seeing a pattern, LEB, with people repreatedly asking you to not mess up threads?
Do you notice that NO ONE ELSE on ST - except maybe Crowley - receives such requests?

Did that photo work out? Watching for it, every day.
I'm hoping for a new climbing area in the east.( in the UK there are a bunch of quarry based climibing areas, Lois, no kidding)
Think of the new rte name potential!

Poor Pat
The Lois-If-Ication of His thread IS a tale of Karma as well.
What you resist, presists
Karmic Parallel thread
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=415031
I'm afraid there is a corollary to Godwin's law, once Lois has posted 3 times to a thread and not mentioned the topic, and we have responded somehow and made the thread about her, that thread has become toast.
Hopefully this post won't count for that. The trick is, just keep posting about karma and take any Lou-izzy sidetracks to other threads.
Lois, any OT image is important enough to post on it's own thread to perserve this one.
Pat, I was against your idea in that linked thread, but believe me, I'm with you in spirit. It's just a slippery slope

Karl,
Lois is a troll. Jaybro is feeding the troll. In the grand scheme of things, what does it really matter?
The great thing about Karma is that it will always give you back what you put out there...just not always in a form you recognize...like this great little story:
A friend of mine is a landscape designer. A while back he left his wallet on top of his car and drove to town. Of course the wallet didn't make the trip with him...the wallet, several credit cards, and $1200 in cash decided to take an alternate route.
My friend didn't even realize he'd lost the wallet until a guy called him saying he'd found it on the road. When my friend got his wallet back, everything was still in it--cash included.
He insisted the guy who found it take a thank you reward for it...and then he found out the guy was an arborist--which was exactly what he was needing for one of his jobs at the time--so he gave the guy a job, too.
I love that story, don't you?

Losing my wallet at the airport on my way to the Woodson Shindig
ultimately led to an enhanced experience. The cascade of mishaps/
adjustments/recoveries induced a state that made me think of
a manic phase (not that I've been diagnosed that way). If anyone
thought I was enthusiastic at Woodson, I'll tell you I'm usually
a bit more subdued.
Because I arrived at San Diego without the ability to rent a car,
Salad took pity on me and took me into his home.
This meant that I was able to get to know him and his lovely
family before the Shindig, and I was more comfortable knowing my
hosts for the Big Party beforehand.
After a few fruitless calls to the airport lost & found, I
received my wallet in the mail, from Southwest Airlines, three
weeks later, fully intact.
Tale of Karma? Maybe not, but it's a Bump at least.

Thanks, Karl. Yes it must be my own karma, to complain about the bugs flying into the windshield, obscuring the view, and then to run into a thick nest of them here. Not even windshield wiper fluid can wipe it away.

Here's a bad Karma story:
My son recently purchased a surround sound system from the back of a truck at a gas station. The guy showed him a sales slip indicating they were selling for $1500.00 My son gladly bought them for $300.00 cash.
He came home and with a big smile and said “I got a killer deal on this system and I'm going to sell them to some dummy for $1000. and make some free money". Checking e-bay he found 8 identical systems selling for $75.00
Costly lesson, but a lesson in both creditability and attitude none the less.
I wounder what has happened to the jerk that scammed him?
