Women breed, men brood. It is our lot in life. I spent far too long on 'the meaning of life'. There's GOT to be a reason for all this, eh? Between Plato, St Augustine, Kant, Kierkegaard, Sartre, etc...Have you read that Pirsig book I mentioned?

I'd rather not worry or brood - breeding is fun though - as far as I'm concerned - there is no meaning to life - you are wasting time living your life - by thinking about it too much

ahh - but here is my favourite sketch from a movie called - 'The Meaning of Life' -

When I was a kid - I came across the word PHILOSOPHICAL - registering that it was a very long and difficult word to remember how to spell it right - and thought to myself - 'That shits too difficult to spell - let alone understand' -

While my day wasn't as wild as littleleafs it was something else alright.
Electrical problems here as well lost power for 4 hours.
Fuckin retard hunter managed to knock down a power pole trying to cross a ditch.......not sure exactly wtf transpired there but liquor was involved.
Checked the propane tanks and nearly empty I can hardly wait to see the price per pound and we need 2000 pounds.

Rewired a outlet in the spare bathroom and still no juice so I suspect the breakers bad........happens now and then.
Also found a leak under the bathroom sink all corroded under there I am positive as soon as I touch it its gonna be a complete redo.
Need some 3\8 pex pipe,connectors,fittings and clamper wrench gimmick so off to Ace in the morning........ maybe.
Election results are kind of surprising so far.

I can’t spell that

To make it easy it is 2 words. Tatha, and Gata. Together it's a description of a quality, not really a name. It's like calling your dog hairy.

Is there a setting on this forum to make

bearly can see it

3 old friends were sitting in the garden watching the birds. The first one said, It is windy. The second one replied, no its Thursday. The third man said, I will go get us some beers.

very true, we all have a idea what it should be

Exactly. Because morals and ethics are from the mind. Everyone is unique so there will be no match. What is good to one is bad to another. What is good one day, is bad another. Fixed rules in an ever changing flux is not wise. The mind is so limited.

Existence makes no choice, no judgements. In existence there is just choiceless awareness.

But can we not agree that there are universal goods? Good that all agree on as in our best interests? Health for example. Everyone would appreciate a body in good health.
If there is a universal good concerning politics and government, why are the polls split 50/50? America seems to be deeply divided on what is good for America. How can either side write off the other when the numbers are so big? You can't ignore that many people.

It's not a matter of mentally agreeing or disagreeing. The universe does not judge good or bad. So any following imaginary dream situation and "ifs" are pointless. Just stay with what is, here now. That is enough.

Landed at Bangkok - on the way to the hotel now - flight took about an hour and ten minutes from Krabi - no delays - no drama - no problems

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Checked in - looking across the Chaopraya River - at the Shangrila Hotel - not too hot outside - fairly breezy and cloudy -

I’m so glad you trusted him

Damn' right. Boo pulled me out of a hole that was really deep. He did not know me, but he gambled on me.

And he is a soft-hearted old bastage. -- Lookit his puppies.

Oh, Gawd. It's a good thing you come from a land where everyone (except the Irish) drive on the wrong side of the road.

I've driven in fast, heavy traffic in England. My ass was biting washers out of the seat. And the goddamn' turn signals operated the windshield wipers...

You musta done something right with the spirits; you are in a heavenly place in great health...

...when a year ago, you were -- no exaggeration -- at Death's door, which was ajar. This current status pleases me immensely.

Rome was the worst I've driven in. At every light the mopeds finally catch up and filter in between all the cars. When the light turns green everybody floors it but you have all the dog slow mopeds nearly touching on both sides. Real fun that was.

Oh Gawd... I wish I could find the pictures!! Dammit. They were on my recently-destroyed computer. Anyway, the traffic in Taipei is like that -- a mix of scooters (some with family, some with crates) and cars in absolute haphazard, no-lane confusion.

Good Morning All (OF's):

Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with a daily check in hello.
Today is duly considered a "hump day". So, I hope and trust all of us will get over any big humps!

See you all tomorrow (again)!
