  1. Shortcut to enlightenment

    I hold regular meetings with Me, Myself and I. Can't help but wonder won't it be a bit crowded if the future version joins? Also Marblehead besides dog food what other provisions should I lay in? Tia
  2. Tao Bums Dating? (possibly?)

    Its all good and well as long as it doesn't end as consexual.
  3. Is it live or is it Memorex? If I don't mind does it matter? Where lies my focus, interest(s), desires? I see six doves, later you only see one. Whom is correct? Does it really matter? Ever carry wood whilst swimming?
  4. Everyone post some favorite quotes!

    "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. That is the principal difference between a dog and a man." Mark Twain
  5. choices reinforce beliefs

    Most animals, both domesticated and wild I have observed have an agenda(s) survive as safely and efficiently as possible, reproduce. Agriculture often requires "controlling" animals either keeping them in or out. Regardless of whether they are in or out, most animals search for gaps, windows or doorways something about the grass always greener on the other side. Have a resident fox who luckily survived a bout with mange a few years back. This fox finds a discrete location to study its territory and the changes made. We employ both concrete reinforcing wire 50 inches high (metal) and plastic deer fence 7 foot high. They both are quickly breached if not maintained. In Pennsylvania there is a wolf sanctuary with several different packs. They are in a double fence paddock. Two eight foot high chain link fence. And I believe the concrete is 5 feet deep to prevent them digging out. One stormy night a tree fell on the fence allowing some of the animals to climb its trunk and jump to freedom. But all were not able to climb the trunk pups and their mom aunts stayed inside. Those outside didn't stray to far out of loyalty to the pack.
  6. No Agenda

    Your not a pigment of your imagination?
  7. If I repeat something often enough, focus on it, give it credibility, rightly or wrongly it tends to either influence my reality and or become it. For me pain physical or mental is a signal something isn't right. Call me a coward if you want but I prefer to avoid discomfort of any type, unless I can foresee a benefit. My greatest discomfort(s) was are a result of grief. Couldn't see it coming or didn't want to? I try and pull my fears phobias out from under the bed and closet too, from time to time. Are they useful? Helping or hindering me? Their strength over me weakens from truthful consideration and examination... Couldn't avoid it.
  8. Serious question about vows.

    Duress occurs when a person is coerced by "wrongful conduct". Wrongful conduct is hard to describe but like porn I know it when I see it!
  9. Living off grid

    Ha Ha Ha and a dollar short two!
  10. Tao Bums Dating? (possibly?)

    Dating is so .............. dated?
  11. Living off grid

    We are on the cusp of great change. The question remains will it be voluntary or involuntary?
  12. I thought some buddy with Cash named Johnny had something to do with the ring of fire?
  13. Happy Holidays

    I second that sentiment
  14. wisdom and justice

    It's inconceivably (not capable of bring imagined, unthinkable, are classic definition(s) descriptions for inconceivable) wise to choose love? Did I miss the point?
  15. The Power of Admitting Error

    A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery. James Joyce writer
  16. Summer Solstice

    So under foot eh. I always thought it is in the sky where diamonds were to be found. After finding Lucy first, of course.
  17. Martinism

    Martinizing is sizing the cocktail to martin standards, for example a 20 ounce martini. " A perfect martini should be made by filling a glass with gin, and waving it in the general direction of Italy." Noel Coward
  18. ☆☆☆

    A whole new meaning to a quartet.

  21. Living off grid

    They are putting solar everywhere here. Home in the middle of conifer forest .... no problem Orientation North West East or South ... no problem Will your electric bill be reduced? Well no, or maybe, its complicated. But tax breaks mean no cost to you... so its a no brainer right. After all your neighbors have solar! We need a drastic change in electric creation and storage. It's coming. Meanwhile I remain cautiously optimistic.
  22. What caused the Twin Towers to collapse?

    Scape goat? or Escargot? Possibly an escape goat. Have you got my goat? If I couldn't laugh I'd go insane...
  23. Mair 4:4

    Or celebrate!
  24. What caused the Twin Towers to collapse?

    Greed has brought and will continue to bring many things down.
  25. The opposite of mass hysteria? Mass stillness (peace) it starts somewhere. Be the change you want to see in the world, when all around you are filled with fear... doubt... is it time to exit stage right? Or hold the Hi ground? Where never is heard a discouraging word. Kindness starts with eye contact, accompanied with a smile, followed by a gesture of recognition. Free, easy and benefits both parties.
