A Confession ( I have Bubble Oil Syndrome )

[Mike C.]

I have a confession to make. I suffer bubble oil syndrome. I am the bubble oil that Miriam ( Aunti M ) refers to in her posts, and I keep her busy trying to keep me level. Having B.O.S. is not an easy thing. Like all organic compounds, I am effected by heat,cold,pressure, violent changes of state, such as shaking or dropping, loud noises and excitement.

I started out as small bubble in a lightweight oil. Growing up can have its effects. Your oil becomes thickerand more viscous and your bubble larger
as your sense of balance improves. Sure sometimes you are knocked about and pressure increases and before you know it you are a heavyweight oil. You have now achieved maturity, as far as bubble oil goes, and you are able to maintain a more level outlook. But still the things life throws at you can separate your big bubble into a bunch of little bubbles that just can't get it together. Of course, there are rules for handling bubble oil. You should beware of heat sources, because bubble oil can explode if it gets to hot. If moved to a vertical position and put under pressure, bubble oil can shoot out and make a viscous, sticky mess.
And never shake too hard because your main bubble becomes a bunch of little bubbles and it makes you confused and then it becomes very hard to find level. But if handled slowly and with much care bubble oil serves many useful purposes and can help all find their true level.

We have a self-help program for " Bubble Oilers" as we refer to ourselves.
Instead of a 10 step or a 12 step, self help program, ours is only 3 steps.
When we attend meetings, we all stand and say " I am a bubble oiler and I am out of level." We follow the following three steps:
1. Admitting you have lost your level.
2. Tell all around you what you believe caused it.
3. And confess to having a broken bubble.
But as in all self help programs, we take it one day at a time.

So in the future, if you meet a "Bubble Oiler", tell them to "bubble-up", or
"have a level day."

And to Miriam and all families of bubble oilers, please show them your sympathy, because they need it.

I am a member of the B.O.S.S.U.S., Bubble Oiler Syndrome Society of the U.S. This is a great organization that's motto is no child should ever have to grow up unlevel.

And in honor of this organization, I would like to honor them, by having the name above my avitar, changed from Uncle Mike to B.O.S.S. to honor them.

Thank you for your concern.

[Miriam C.]

Well my dear they say people become more alike as they grow old. However you do not get a name change. (please) Uncle M you should stay as we are so much alike. Just look closely at your avatar. Then look at mine. Would you want to confuse people.

Enjoy your day

I've always been "a half bubble off" as my Grandpa always said!

[Mike C.]

Thanks All for your input.

I can feel the love and your feelings of sympathy.

I think it would be remiss of me to not offer each of you, that have responded and anyone with an interest, to join this group. I am thinking
of having tee-shirts printed up with B.O.S.S.U.S. on front and back.

Any person that feels that they are bubble defecient or have a spouse which suffers the syndrome, PM me and I will start to work on the project forthwith.

Just remember to "Bubble-up" and "Keep it Level ", and we will all get through this together.

And remember we are doing this for the children, so no child is born unlevel.

Save the "Bubble ."

Bubble .......we are suppose to have a bubble.......
Rats, I think when I said I do she took that too

Guys,
During your wedding did you have the handing of the checkbook and credit card ceremony

[angib]

A long time ago my sister worked as a barmaid and one customer spent a long time explaining to her that he was a 'rogulator' - that is, the man who collects the special gas that is put into the bubbles in spirit levels.

This gas is used as it naturally coalesces into one bubble. He explained that this gas is hard to collect and that's why his job was so special.

Oh, you want to know what the gas is?

Goldfish farts.

Swear to God, she asked me if this was true....
