    What about a hip replacement MH?
  4. What are you listening to?

    You listen to music much more than I do. It must be comforting and nostolgic for you.
  5. What are you listening to?

    One of my favorite bands of the time. I especially like the musical arrangement, and the words.

    MH, you are a man that builds bridges. Taking responsbility is a demonstration of Integrity. Now we just have to wait for the others to "sweep their side of the street." That takes courage. I was thinking that if these individuals are truly Taoists, then I would have expected them to go with the flow of life. Obviously your joke, the obstruction to their flow, was a teachable moment.

    Right on Brother!!!!!
  8. The origin of mankind

    Last week I did wonder how it is that my knuckles were bleeding. I must have had a relapse back to the Chimpanzee crossroads 4.2 million years ago. I got confused last week and used my arms to walk along with my legs. The arms were not long enough, so I had to shift my weight forward some. Very uncomfortable. Hard to look up, butt up in the air, spinal column needs adjustment, have to tuck my legs under my butt to poop, pissing hits the ground and splatters...damn I miss those days when hygiene was not an issue.

    Now I will have to put on my legal hat. MH has the right to freedom of speech. He has not asked for feedback, or opinion, or judgement. Comments that were setforth by his accusers were said in an attempt to control MH, censor him, make him feel bad. In my field, we call this projection which is a defense mechanism used to avoid personal issues the individual does not want to address. When MH asked you to let it go he was saying you are continuing to be annoying. By being annoying purposefully, you are disrespecting the feelings of MH. So, I would agree with MH and "Drop the Rock." If his joke is something you can't let go of, I would recommend seeing a counselor. There is something else below the surface that is bothering you. It certainly is not MH, because as he has said, you know him and how he operates. If you continue with berrating him, I would judge that to be a malicious aforethought.

    The first thing I asked the Doc is can I go back to exercising tomorrow. She said that I could do anything I wanted. Just take the antibiotic and sudefed for the next 10 days twice per day. So I put them in with my supplements and Rx that I take on a daily basis. Now I only have to be concerned about taking one tab of each before I go to bed.

    O.K. time to put on my professional hat. The person that had a problem with MH's citation of a song, possibly got klocked by a guy who was a Domestic Viloence perpetrator. That would be an issue of the person moralizing MH...or anybody's moralizing MH. MH did not get up this morning and decide he was going to offend someone. Cut him some slack and apologize for gang bangin him. BTW I don't like Moral Police or FeminNatzis.
  13. The origin of mankind

    About 4.2 million years ago man was evolving away from the chimpanze. The Chimp kept his knuckles, we had our bipeds. In other words, we got up off our knuckles and used our legs. Their first words were, This must be heaven, man!!!

    I listened to the doctor I saw this morning. What I thought was an upper Bronchial infection, turned out to be a sinus infection probably caused from the two molar extractions of which one had its root slightly inside my left sinus cavity. Egro, port of entry for a bacterial infection. The dentist should have given be an anti-biotic.

  19. New training/teacher questions

    I went to a Kung Fu/Tai Chi class and watched the students. Most of them were children. There was two young men that stood out like a sore thumb. The students in my class did not appear professional. The instructor seemed professional and about money as well. When he demonstrated push hands with me, my skill level was comparable. My present Master is not about money. He is about passing it on. I think attraction rather than promotion works better.

  22. Is it the duty of a Taoist to protect Nature?

    I live in a townhouse development. The HOA's attitude is let the resident pick up after themselves. There is an area between the walk and the street they consider the responsibility of the Village. For example, if there is a Hornet's Nest in a tree it is the Village's responsibility to remove it. When I pointed out that Hornets do not know the difference between this and that boundary, there was no answer. The Village says it is the HOA's responsibility. Both clash. My concern was for the children that play near it. With this in mind, the debis whether it is on HOA property, or Village property remains there. Even the Mexican grass cutters mow over it. I do what I can. There is one other neighbor who is like minded. The rest are just enjoying life.

    Karl, all I ask is that you turn your will and your life over to the care of me, and I will tell you how it is that it all got created.
