I think one or two P.M.'s to start a personal dialogue would be alright, but you're right, I think she was just spammin' us and if EVERYONE started doing this...

Whaddya' say Administrator? Is that a 'banning' offense?

Re: Hi Stephanie

Buddhism may have the characteristics of a 'cosmic' religion according to Einstein...

...but it's a LOUSY story! (or narrative).

No 'real' God, and the key to cessation from all suffering is simply the end of all existence?!

There's no redemption in Buddhism, no hero, and no real hope...

Thanks but no thanks... but if it floats your boat then, well, enjoy the cruise (while it lasts).

Sincerely,

I got spammed by her also, I just deleted her also,
I am for the boot.

She just might be having a bad hair day and feeling a little out of sort. She could turn out to be a good person & helpful to the board. If she gets booted now, we'll never know.

Hokie

Can always boot her later.

It's nice when things work out isn't it?

I wanna' see the word Vertroleum up in lights so make sure you get a picture of it wherever your see it!

Well, the news is good for now, I was at the hospital most of today, she is getting better. The current status is stable, she had a stroke, but the bleeding has stopped and she does not need surgery, if she did I would have cancelled the trip. I spoke with a crew of doctors and they upgraded her status, they believe she will just need physical therapy.

Just to help the public out, her sickness started about 8 years ago when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, they gave her predisone and vioxx which has destroyed her body, she is only 65 and suffering from heart disease, liver disease, lung problems (she needs oxygen) , etc....this was all caused by long effects of predisone. Stay away from predisone!!!!

She now has to be assisted when walking, I have placed her in the best nursing home money can buy around here, $4500.00 a month. Now, she will be hospitalized atleast a month.

I have most of the family visiting this weekend, so she won't be alone. If there is an emergency I will leave Baytown in a minute. Hopefully all will go well and I will be there for the weekend.

I'm all for second chances! And third and fourth chances too for that matter! (Christ was kinda' pushing it though don't you think? This "70 times 7" business? Some people just DON'T know when to stop forgiving...)

Not sure if you have access to a computer or you will just update everything you had seen when you come home after the trip. I am excited to see some photos.

If we're really lucky, we can get a picture of his showing the concrete poured the day barrettjet left at the other end of the building...

my guess is it is going to be the PAD for the beginnings of the NEW TANK FARM!

Barrettjet, Sorry I am answering a bit late.

If you don't believe SELL.

I completely agree, I plan to hold on to my shares for another year I believe. And if there is no progress until then I will most likely sell and wish you all best of luck with your holdings.

He is acheiving his lifes goals.
He could have left us long ago if it was about money.

I understand JR's ambitions and goals, he gave years of his life trying to make his dreams comes true and he deserves all the best. However I think there is a small conlict of interest here, because we (as investors) are here to make money.

Small companies can become LARGE companies.

That's true. But I think comparisons to Google and Microsft aren't too relavant because it is a completely different line of business. I think the business deals with 3rd world countries is a brilliant business move by JR, and if these deal turn successul we all will be really happy. In the US on the other hand I think that we need a big oil company as a partner, would you agree? It's hard for me to see a giant oil company coming into a joint venture with us, when it happens the big companies usally buy out the small ones when it comes down to these kind of dealings.

And we all think/hope we will be Rich.

Amen to that.

Then I guess the BIG OIL greedGiants will have to answer to the IRATE public when US residents are paying $7/gallon at the pump for Petroleum gasoline while other parts of the world have B100 at signifficantly lower prices!

Q: Why can't we get B100 in the USA?
Big Oil Answer: We can't make it because we don't know how to produce biocrude in quantity... only USSE is able to do that and we DON'T do JVs with second parties.

Q: What do we do? How do we get B100 in the USA?
A: Wait until BornOil begins opening gas stations and imports it from Malaysia!

LMAO... you really think the freaking politicians won't hear about it before it comes to THIS? YOU think all their worthless asses won't be voted out before THEN?

Okay, so much to tell, so little time!

This is my honest opinion on what I have seen so far. Went for a long ride on a kubota 4 wheel truck through out the property with John yesterday, seen land getting cleared and filled, hundreds of acres to build on. Some of the land has small swamps they are filling with truck after truck. (I have pictures).
The land has rail and pipelines from 4 major companies that run through, there is also very large power lines and a transfer station on the property.

The building is much larger in person, as well as the finished reactors, the pictures give them no justice. This is the first time I am able to touch and examine the reactors up close. The size of the reactors up close is enormous, they tower over any full size man, they are very, very large. They have 95% of the second reactor completed. They are getting ready to move two more reactor in line with the other two to complete the unit (4 reactors). Skids with the new bands have just arrived to finish the other two reactors. They have designed a new feed system that will feed all four reactors at once, very impressive.

In regards to refining and distilling the biocrude (Vertroleum) they have plans that have just been designed to produce certain products right on site. I have seen a engineer from a refining contractor on site, he has been hired to finalize this part of the project. I am not sure what company, so don't ask. They are very impressive from what I have seen. They have moved one large storage tank to the rear pad for connecting, they are getting ready to move many more and start construction of the new design for refining and storage. There is also another contractor on site, that is in charge of maintaining vapors and working with the TCEQ, these contarctors are all working in tune together.

I will be going back to the plant today to take specific pictures not yet on biocrude.us, I want to show the size of these "parts" like I said, everything in the pictures looks smaller than in person. For example, the condensor that angles in the rear of the building, in the pictures it looks maybe 5' to 6' feet long, way off, this condensor is about 15' long and atleast 2' wide its huge. The piping coming from the rear of the building is also much larger that looks. I will use a soda can today in the pictures to show size.

I will post again some time tonight!
