Give me coffee to change the things I can And weed to accept the things I can't change

Strange things happen in Ohio, all the time.

I've thought of having a thread for all our bums that pass to another dimension. I will bring it up with mods/admin. As greatly missed as brian is among all his circles here; he is received with great enthusiasm there. I heard he was hanging out with Cheya. /\/\

I know that logging onto TDB is way down the priority list once power is restored after what you've just experienced and facing now; would be great to hear from the Ashville area bums, Western Carolina, East Tennessee, Also Georgia and Florida, if you've been touched by this storm.

https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-helene-asheville-flooding-north-carolina-tennessee-078a298cdcaaf46749f3f6683a4e1057 Ashville's prominence and influence of Daoist practices, thought, personalities, insights, to TDB history and origins can not be overstated. My thoughts go out to those familiar voices on this Forum from the Ashville area and for everyone there during this trial. Right now folks there are isolated as all major roads are closed.

Right, right. I think it's more useful to say which Ancient Greeks, specifically, rather than lump them all into the same pigeon hole. Euripides wouldn't give much weight to rationality. Obviously, not all Ancient Greeks agreed across the expansive world of ideas. Are we using Plato as a baseline to say Classical Ancient Greek ? The pre-Socratic Greeks, or as I refer to them as; the Ancient Ancient Greeks, some of those were exactly what so many fifteen year olds come to TDB looking for; Super Natural Abilities and Power. I've lived much of my life in the wilderness of a large Ancient National Forest. What I've witnessed some animals do, 99.9% of ya'll wouldn't believe anyways. To label them, Magical, would be a gross underestimation of their capabilities,virtues, powers,,, Especially, "possums".

Is using rationality in an irrational world, rational? Other mammals ain't all that much different than us. I think if we look for an animal/mammal definition of what sets humans apart is; a human has two opposing thumbs capable of grasping at straws.

The US debt increases 100,000$ every second of every minute of every hour of every day. That doesn't count derivatives, whatever those are. Be mindful, a few posts are bordering on the political. If they cross that borderline,, Those, need posted in Current Events. It's not exactly the gilded age anymore. Or is it gilded age accelerated on steroids [and greed] ?

I agree. Maybe, 3 years ago, I ran onto Gendao on another forum and he expressed his desire to return. We had a brief discussion and basically, my take was Gendao said, he would not be adding any filters to his posting style. I told him eventually I would bring the matter up to the other mods and admin. Today I posted in Steward's Lounge, Gendao would like to return after a 4 year ban. Personally, I always liked Gendao. We have fresh admin and mods. It is up to the mod team and admin. I do not oppose his return. If he does return, I expect an uptick in reports being filed. Gendao was a long time member here. I believe in second chances. Sometimes allowing banned members to return works out and sometimes it doesn't.

Herbs can be good for your health. Consider that at age 91; Willie is out on tour. I've made a few trips to the local dispensery mostly to get some fruits: lemon, orange, apple, grape, and jack herer, whatever type of fruit that is. Going to the dispensery is cool and all...best part of living where I am now, I can experience the joys of gardening once again, legally even.

Wasabi!?

Doesn't Tina's song's words still ring true? BMW? baby mama's wheels?! Naw I can't use those. I do have a poor man's BMW, a Jetta, also F150, both useful, what I need here though, Atv 4 wheeler and a dual sport bike. Not wanting to accumulate more physical possessions, however, while I'm here ( new location, out of Kentucky( a safety factor was pondered over concerning the move(( was safe in kentucky and safe here as well)) good to have options on how to get around. Also trains here, so that's something kentucky didn't offer too much of,,,, A few bikes in the video. I like the Cafe racer. The US has simmered down from a few years back perception of boiling over, calm waters all around.
