RE: shamanism

Now why did you have to say that? It was rather discourteous. Not like you.. go make us some Brunch. How about a Swiss cheese omelette and brioche with butter and raspberry jam?

Behave...

OK. This is religiousness...

P.S. have a brilliant next few days and weekend, kiddo...

“ Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds....disappear...
You’re better than all the rest
You’re the one I love best
It’s these things I’ve meant—-
You must have been Heaven sent...... “

RE: Tree

I actually have an an antique artificial Christmas tree. It’s aluminum ( popular in the 1950’s) and the branches ‘ flute’ out like a partially opening day lily. Not many to be found of this vintage. I use mostly antique hand- blown ornaments, many from France and Germany.

RE: Tree

Douglas Fir, Scotch Pine. I favor Scotch Pine. They have spaces enough to decorate easily, and seem to stay fresh longer. Easier to “ flock”, too.

For Ali— if you don’t know, this is applying a spray that “ sets” to look like fresh fallen snow on the branches.

RE: Come Here Wild Kitten

Sharp little nails, aren’t they? I don’t know if our kittens “ know” they’re hurting us, or if it’s all just play...I have two scratch stations. Helps a bundle...

RE: Come Here Wild Kitten

This column was meant for me— especially co- miserate with the “ kitten/ dinosaur image! ( ya got THAT right!) SKEDADDLE IS BEING CHILL TODAY. REAL CHILL. BUT ITS JUST A RUSE.....

OK. This is religiousness...

Hmmmmmm. Sure gives much to ponder...perhaps this is the closest I’ve come to having the question answered. Myself— I have a few idiosyncrasies ( might be a better term) of my own: I’m VERY uncomfortable with the hand- holding before we pray thing. Just don’t like it. Also, I have a wonderful friend who is always disappointed with me declining her to “ pray over me or with me” either in person or on the phone. But I don’t care for it. I also don’t like it when spiritual people assume they have authority- as if I’m not smart enough to know what’s good for me...ok, m done rambling

RE: The K factor

Yeah, but kind of a strapping lad. What a shame...remind me ( I’m serious) what’s a troll?

OK. This is religiousness...

Yes, I agree. That wasn’t the question. I’m trying to find out where what I explained I heard came from. It is not about how I, or anyone else, “ feels” about it. Just if anyone out there had come across this train of thought, and do they know where it originated. For example, could it have come from rune seekers, Druid’s, etc...thanx....if you know you know, if you don’t you don’t.

RE: The K factor

Perhaps I’m lost in the wording, but isn’t “ K” factor regarding a specific flow, pulse, and pressure in airplanes, aerodynamics?

OK. This is religiousness...

Good morning my wonderful cyber friends... hey, I have a question that’s been a- buggin’ me for awhile. Quite a number of years ago I heard ( I think it was in a “college fireside let’s be existentialists“ type of rap session) that it is inappropriate/ negative karma/bad joo joo, whatever, to pray for someone who either doesn’t know or has said they don’t want you to. I heard this again, a few years back. Is there, to anyone’s knowledge, substantiating rhetoric about this? Where did this adage originate? Thanx.....

RE: Happiness

thanx...yes, the cat helps. He certainly keeps me from being a couch potato. Not possible now!

RE: Happiness

He had better build or buy me a NEW nightstand—- never been used!,

RE: Happiness

just hearing from you is flowers enough. ( I really benefitted from your kindred spirit today.) Thanks zillions. And more zillions...

RE: Happiness

I didn’t want to add to the current troubles of the world, but since the few people I’ve told have asked forum- type, I felt I should explain. ( my aunt, when she heard about it, said, “That’s my darling nephew for you—62 going on 14”.)

RE: Happiness

So kind of you. Don’t know what I’d do without you, and several other very, very nice people here. It’s an odd new culture, embracing friendships this way, but I know I’m genuine, and I’m very willing to assume the same, and the best, of you, Ali, and others. Blessings and respect.... ( I hug, Ali, get used to it... )

RE: Happiness

THANK YOU ( for anyone who doesn’t know, I’m at the tail- end of convalescing from a nasty bicycle accident. I broke a bone in one knee, and had huge cuts and bruises on both legs and arms. Had a little home- nursing ( they sent a nun, those a**hole) but mostly I was on bed rest. Taking care of this kitten was a Merry Andrew— I lectured him for hours on the principles of the patience and care of an injured party, but a funny thing— he just looked at me like I’d lost my mind or something...we’re all cozy and as snug as a bug in a rug now. )

RE: Happiness

Well that’s more like it! How am I, you ask? Why, I’ll give you my stock answer ( but it works..)

“ANYTIME I GET TO SEE YOU I’M A MILLION TIMES BETTER!!”

RE: Happiness

Did somebody lace the punch? Stale LSD? Went to AA and misunderstood the plan? Searching hopelessly for the thirteenth step? You gotta give me something...yeah you’re cute. For 101....

RE: The contactless community....

Last offer— but it could be the best. Get a small piece of cloth, small permanent pen, and write your codes on it. Tuck it in your shorts. ( I’m serious). Make sure it’s where it won’t get dislodged. Don’t play with yourself while doing this— it’s business. Now, you have it on you, and few people would be able to get it, only you know it’s there, and because it’s cloth it won’t scratch the captain and crew. Next......

RE: Happiness

you never call me “ young man”....

RE: I dreamt I was driving a airplane this is what it means

You really are a naughty, naughty guy....

RE: The Former President Barack Obama On White Men

I will be the first to say this, and I’ve said it before— The American white male is the most prejudiced being in the universe. Getting a good job is extremely challenging most of the time. **. Courts and judges are unfairly harsh with them, especially in custody agreements. Automobile insurance is usually higher, and single white men have a terrible time trying to get a home loan, even if income shows favorable. I am all for giving everyone a fair and equal chance. Fair and equal. Not better. Do you realize that some jobs, often civil service, give an automatic extra 10 to 20 points ( to non- whites) before a qualification test even begins? That means that a non- white can actually score lower than a white person, and still get the job. I say that to be perfectly fair, the person with the genuine higher score gets the job. If the non- white is truly qualified, he or she will score higher on their own merit. Do folks out there get what I’m saying? Do you agree?

RE: How to keep a conversation going

WTF— I wrote “ sugar” and the computer wrote “guard”— add SUGAR if you like...( does anyone else out there have these misspellings come up?

RE: How to keep a conversation going

Look- I’ve TOLD you about Weetabix...just barely break in a bowl, add guard if you like, add cream, and munch it down NOW— otherwise it gets soggy fast and looks and tastes like baby food, unless you do what I just said. Now, do what I just said. Now. Right now.....

RE: How to keep a conversation going

I’m not an expert on all this, but I recall several successful and well- loved people telling me that developing a genuine knack for making the other person feel validated (without being patronizing) is a giant leap in the right direction in the “ Art” of good and fluid conversation.

RE: The contactless community....

Here’s an idea for remembering, and having in your wallet or on your person, those codes. Let’s assume you have two cards with PINS. Say one is Visa, and the other is First Interstate. On the paper you will have in your wallet, write “Valerie”. ( Visa). Choose a family member’s birthday you will always remember. Let’s say it is January second, 1954. ( but don’t write that). Write his/ her name, and write “ B.D.” You will always remember “Jane—1254 ( bd month, day, last two digits of year. If someone finds wallet with card(s), all they will see is “ Jane-B.D. Probably won’t be able to figure it out. I highly recommend this system. I use a combination of this plus a foreign language which I reverse. Because I went to the trouble to do this, it’s “ imprinted” now. Writing something down appears to trigger memory in many people. You can also use numbers that you can readily check. If I point these out it would defeat the purpose. You will always have several choices of this on you or near you...hint hint..and only YOU will know. Be so creative that you can’t help but remember—- and with this second method, you won’t even have to have a slip of paper— just always remember “ document” fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth numbers. Wire it in...

RE: The contactless community....

In the beginning of The Holocaust, victims were told that the government was there to “ help” them, and wearing the Star of David would make it easier for them ( police) to “protect” them. They then easily rounded them up, at first, a few....and then, millions. Getting into bad @$$ territory with chipping people. Don’t go for it.
