I'm always in the top of "my class" of course it usually consists only of me myself and I.

Yes one day "Any day now, any day now, I shall be released".

That sure is full of appreciation!

"When we try to exceed either we normally fail" but hopefully learn from our mistakes.

Well I do enjoy taking myself out to dinner from time to time.

try not to run into me to find out thanks

Appreciation is often under valued or over looked.

Hard lessons there! Written another way: Stop taking anything personally! (Except your self of course).

it all depends...

Erratic patterns you say? My life experience described! Zippo lights my fire. I as yu, being my manifest in the universe appreciates boundaries. The edge of the meadow, before the forest. The dunes then shore then waves or ripples. The soil... Clouds.

I can't continue to have my cake and eat it too? My entomology professor said more than 4 decades ago "Always bet on the bug(s) they were here before us and will remain long after we are gone". An argument for taking the profit now...

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome, And as cheya said jump right in!

Gerard, You ask the wisdom in my words? Hmm... first and foremost I was not judging the customs of another culture... I was offering a ray of hope to Aussie Trees who wrote: "pretty sure it will send up new shoots next spring," My profession / vocation is agriculture (the cultivation of plants primarily for food is my main employment). Some people not all by any means believe that farming was: Created by women. Is the basis for civilization. Modern or chemical agriculture is safe. Slash and burn was a technique was / is a take off on wild fires. Thunder hit a tree brush etc. a fire started and the soil was renewed. Being a bit judgmental here now all that's natural is not always pleasing, but that's just my bias showing.

Thanks!

Is that like a buttercup? She loves me she loves me not...

I always wake up at 4th down and 40...

Quantity of life versus Quality? And yes hope springs eternal, in most cases. But not all...

Thunder rocks and rolls!

It is the old if it don't kill you it may cure you. or Is the cure worth the cost?

Reading the labels for medicines and over the counter drugs is sobering and scary!

I tried tinkling on the driveway... and the sidewalk too. Brief but fleeting very local relief.

And some sip contentedly!
