What's yours? I used to collect stamps. I started when I was 10. My mom went to see a lawyer about squeezing some more child support out of my dad and the lawyer asked me if I collect stamps. He showed me a small handful of stamps he tore off his mail I said no. He said too bad I was going to give these to you if you did. I really wanted those stamps cause I thought there might be a few unused ones in there. So I started collecting stamps figuring my mom would take me back to see the lawyer and I would get those stamps. Well, I never saw the guy again. I wound up becoming a stamp collector for most of my adult life and I got very deep into the hobby including attending stamp auctions and stamp shows.

Life is a series of constant choices.

Adam was 50% of the world’s population when he took the first choice. The apple looked juicy and was being offered by the only one naked temptress around.

And the world never got back on the right track again!

With the second easement of restrictions coming into effect today, yet with active Covid19 cases consistently in double digits in the last days, indicating the possibility of the beginnings of a second ’wave’, today could be the date that might be marked in our history books as the day that was a break dealer for the country (Malta).

Of course it all depends on us. All of us, shop owners, retailers, service providers, customers, diners and shoppers.

And how we, ALL OF US behave.

The country is experimenting with a delicate tripod to balance health, wealth and peace. Naturally, there can be neither health nor wealth if peace is only found in RIP.

And in that one, as with the fact that the coronavirus does not distinguish, everyone is equal.

Well, they do say that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, but in this climate, it’s better to tell Adam be aware. act safe and stay safe.

Peace.

Non-smokers who are bothered by smoke – you know how far away you need to be from someone smoking before it doesn’t bother you. Stay that far from others. And we all know how long the smell of smoke hangs in an enclosed space.

Non-garlic-eaters who are bothered by the smell of it on someone’s breath (or their garlicky lasting body-odour) ditto.

Shouting REALLY loads the air with particles. Stay away from protesters. Except from polite ones. First comment refers.

It hasn't dawned yet but everyone agrees things won't ever be quite the same

There are some things from our respective quarantines many would like to keep. For those who can, working from home, with perhaps one or two trips to the office a week, would be good to keep

More meetings online instead of dashing around on planes trains and automobiles, definitely worth keeping

Socially, not being expected to kiss-kiss or hug every stranger you meet, that works for me

The floor is open. If you were in charge of designing the New Normal, what would you aim for ...

Addictions:
Alcohol, Drugs, Food, Exercise, Hurting yourself, etc

The time that you have put into the above addictions, you will pay for in kind for the rest of your life...!

Re-hab does not always work...

Impeachment Brexit.
Trump. Boris Johnson.
Let them go away please.
I,m to busy .

Comments please.

I have often been asked what my religion is. The short answer is just as it is listed on my profile, ‘Spiritual but not religious’. If I’m pressed further I will inform people that I live by the ‘Laws of the Universe’ and not by any man-made religious sect, either mainstream nor minority.
Once a person understands the ‘Laws of the Universe’ it becomes quite obvious that several of the (10 biblical commandments), not all, are also covered, such as thou shalt not steal, kill etc.
Below I have a list of the main 12 Spiritual Laws of the Universe... they are not of my writing however enjoy reading them...

12 Spiritual Laws of the Universe

1. The Law of Divine Oneness
The Law of Divine Oneness is the foundational law, according to which absolutely everything in our universe is interconnected. In other words, every choice, word, desire, and belief you have will also have an impact on the world, and on the people in your life.
Sometimes this impact will be immediate and obvious. At other times, it may take a while to manifest, or you may never even discover that it has occurred. Try to think of yourself as part of everything around you to live in accordance with this law. We are all one, and awareness of this makes us more powerful as well as more empathetic.

2. Law of Vibration
According to the Law of Vibration, every particle in the universe is in constant movement and constantly carries energy. This applies to enormous parts of the universe, like the planets and stars. However, it also applies to the chair underneath you or the table where your computer sits.
In addition, everything has its own specific energy frequency. High energy particles are naturally attuned to other high energy particles, and the same is true for those that have low energy.
If your goal is to live a more productive and full life, consider what you would need to do to heighten your energy frequency.

Men have been told to do that since....well since awhile ago.

You can't do that to me.
You can't say that to me.
Honey, don't let him/her do that to me/you.
Be a man.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself.
There is nothing wrong with defending yourself. However, I think there is a certain extent.

For example, this past weekend. I was having a great time out at the local bar's Halloween party. There was a Korean lady there that seemed to be rather interested in me. We had flirted with each other the whole night. Things were going rather well.

I was sitting at a table away from the bar with a great friend of mine. We were sitting there pretty much the whole evening, near the pool table, talking, and playing pool. The Korean beauty was also playing pool with us as well.

It was getting late, alcohol has certainly taken its effect. I put my quarters in the table, the balls were released. Immediately, the Korean lady ran over, to steal my game. I knew what she was up to...just her way of flirting. I am like, okay...I will just grab some more quarters from the bar, and I will get the next game.

Fine and dandy...but my friend I was with, was not okay with this. I didn't know what he said to her. But, she was gone shortly after their talk. Should I have stepped in....I wonder....but, realistically...given the complete circumstances of the situation, I knew I really didn't have any right to.

The way I looked at it....it was only fifty cents and a couple of minutes before the next game would start. I am a very patient man....so overall...it really was not a big deal.

I was not angry or upset with my friend as I explained to him my philosophy in life when it comes to situations like these...non-threatening...in particular. I told him, I believe in free-will. You hope for people to do the right things, but you cannot be in control of their free will. Especially, with this Korean lady...we had that sort of playful vibe going on all night.

His stance was, you cannot let people take advantage of you like that.

Well....

He does have a point. I am a man. A man is suppose to be in control of the situation. A man should not let anyone disrespect him. True....as it has been taught to us men.

But....before going down this whole principled path...the macro of the whole situation was not even worth taking a "manly" stance. It was in the whole scope of life...nothing.

With that said....after hearing about some guy dying in line getting a chicken sandwich....I wonder if he wouldn't be still alive today if he didn't do the whole macro prospective with the situation he was in. I heard he was with a woman....perhaps he was just being a man.

At least, that is what we are told. Technically, that statement is correct. There are birds, trees, grass, air, ground, water....maybe even love too. Maybe....I suspect.

On my trip up to a pool tournament, my mind got thinking about money. And without money, one would not be able to do a whole lot. Virtually everything revolves around money. It is getting so you need to pay for water to drink...in some cases...you need to.

Now, what about that old saying, money cannot buy love.

Let me think about how love develops.

The clothes I wear cost money.
The comb I use cost money.
The soap I use cost money.
The shoes I wear cost money.
The razor I use cost money.
The car I drive cost money.
The insurance cost money.
The gas cost money.
The safe tires on it cost money.
The heat in my house cost money.
The electricity cost money.
The food I eat cost money.
The house itself cost money.
The full mouth of teeth cost money.
The haircut cost money.
The scissors cost money.

So....directly...yes...I agree....money don't buy love.

But it sure as hell facilitates in it developing.

Have you ever want the sweet story life, the romance, the care, the ultimate joy, the unconditional love and all that it comes with, well I always want it but now I NEED IT.
