I lived and operated in East Asia for awhile (Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong and the Filippines) and as much as I learned, I sensed that there was more to learn.
After that, I began working as a government contractor in Washington, DC. The petite daughter of a Indian consular official had been on my daily commute nearly a full year before I realized that she'd been harboring an interest in me the entire time.
The funny part was that, during this time, she just seemed to do things just to irritate me. When I finally had had it, I started yelling at her, asking why she said the things she said. She froze me in mid-shout, saying:
"because I want you to pay attention to me."
I remember standing there, flummoxed, my wagging finger still in the air, my expression transformed from anger to complete puzzlement.
We started dating the next day.
She was from Uttar Pradesh, and I learned a bit about India and Hinduism (but just scratched the surface, I'm sure). Chakras, Nirvana, Karma, Kundalini and so forth, and how cooking with yogurt could be surprisingly tastey and Indian food could be surprisingly hot.
It would interesting to learn Tantra, and this exchanging of energy.
Glad you liked it. Yes, Ive been hearing good things about Dandelion. Ive found a distributor that sells biotics and supplements very inexpensively in bags of powder, buds, what-have-you, but you have to buy and weigh and load your own capsules.
Any special trick to preparing dandelion? Do you just use the stems, etc... ?
Yes, I served in the military, cross-training with all branches, save the Coast Guard, and many foreign militaries besides. Then I served in government.
Several have commented on biologics, myself included. My health plan only covers FDA approved pharmacology, and the staff nutritionists look down their noses at biologics.
It doesn't help, I suppose that I remind them that late night TV is filled with law firms suing Big Pharma for this, that or the other medical or process that had been FDA approved.
I actually started watching the YouTube infomercials concerning Lectins and biologics to control Cortisol.
As one poster pointed out, unless you can identify the plant spot-on, you might want to use a vendor so you don't accidentally toadstool yourself.
Those who live in or who have served where bamboo grows can tell you that it has remarkable properties, and is extremely durable.
(Dating myself), when I was young, "made in Japan" meant cheaply made, and likely to break if it worked at all.
The graphics associated with Asia back then was closely associated with bamboo, which in turn, meant crude and ramshackle.
But a visit to Hong Kong revealed scaffolding made of bamboo, soaring stories up. Lightweight, inexpensive, strong and resilient. Of course, once it dries out or rots, different story.
CORRECTION: In THE VICTORS, it was an American and a Russian, knifing each other in the ruins of Berlin.
I prefer the scene in PATTON, wherein , at the wars closing days and the Russians and Americans meet, the Soviets through a celebration with song and dance and vodka.
The Soviet general, through his interpreter, offers a toast to their victory over the Fascists.
George C. Scott, as General Patton, stands, smiles, and tells the interpreter:
Tell your boss that no, I do not care to drink with him, or any other Communist (S.O.B.... spelled out). Go ahead, tell him.
Aghast, the interpreter tells the Soviet general, who'd been smiling all this time. Enraged, the general tells his interpreter, who, in growing panic, relates:
The Soviet general says that the American general is also an SOB.
Yes, the text and vids warn caution in selecting the right ones. Like mushrooms and toadstools, if you are not certain to distunguish one from the other, get your stuff from a health food outlet.
Not the developer of the PCR test, whose sending up warnings. Not the inventor of mRNA method, who is also deeply concerned with how this jab is being rolled out. As are the Frontline Doctors, as are the signatories to the Barrington Declaration.
But you have enough arrogance to say they don't know what they are talking about.
Meanwhile, you hang on the every word of Lyin' Fauci.
Haiku. The poetry that does not rhyme
Shoe laces.
Must attack at once.
Didn't know that was you.
C'mon people, don't make me do all the work.
Let's see your inner Zen. or Tao. or Chi. or something.
