I decided to turn his light on just for old times sake, kind of like the light on a familiar buoy :). Especially after this thread messed with my mind earlier in the day. - (a close friend, more...

Hi there y'all. Sorry, can't talk much. Try to post more later.


Thanks for all the good wishes and thoughts.
Miss you guys, be back later.

I agree with Donn.

How?

How can difference without distinction be different? Tao&Buddhism=>Ch'an Buddhism=>Zen Buddhism

Yup, It's no more 180 mg/day of morphine sulphate for me. Now, it's 180mg/day-equivelent of Methadone or 12.5mg actual. Soon to be raised to 15mg/day actual.

There has been a modest improvement in...

Thanks for all the warm words.

Morphine now up to 180mg/day. Damn it.

Saw doc 12/21. Disease progressing. Decided to continue on Sutent because it's helping me breathe anyway.

Saw doc last week. Took a longish walk (2 blocks) on 12/23 and a few days later can barely...

The notion of dualism is the fundamental delusion. We are not wired for it, we just think we are, then we, some of us, waken up. Waking up is a journey, not a destination.

We are having a more wintery winter than usual. Feet of snowfall on the pass yesterday. More snow predicted for the lowland by Wed. or so. After that, 30-ish days and 20-ish nights. Not uncommon, but...

Scientology, and their offspring Narconon. They just leech off their adherents (Narconon may take outside money, I don't know for sure).

My very best wishes to you, Jack!

That Insight/Vipasana meditation you mentioned a few weeks back might be of assistance to you.

It will be as hard or as easy as you make it. Just never give up...

OK! - what species are you?

Yeah, sunny up here, but the sky went silvery later. Almost dusk now.

Sunny winter day here.

Chemically speaking, carbon is not burnt. It does not break down into a simpler substance, after all, it's an element. Burning carbon containing substances does change the way it's bound though... ;)...

Ahem - carbon is not burned, it is liberated. It's more accurate to say that when carbon containing materials are burnt that carbon is liberated in the form of CO2.

I would not want to be around...

I was just pondering that "global warming" is really going to look like "global instability," thus the snowfalls in Denver and the record rain in Seattle. The geological record says that the weather...

Whatever his myriad faults, and they were many, we, and IMO the world, would have been better off to have continued to contain him. A great many lives, both Iraqi and Coalition, would not have been...

heh

Ok, what do you live by?

I HATE THIS!

... but I have to agree with the pundit of the Penobscot: sex between age peers is organic and natural and ought not to be criminalized. However, I also think there ought to be a ban...

Pomo is the ultimate degeneration of philosophy into gossamer glosses of wisdom compacted into cacophonous accretions of credulous crap. What a shame.

A couple of posters on the forum like that......

The Economist, in the Christmas issue, had an article likening pomo to modern retail/consumerism. Now, that's (consumerism) amoral!

Me too, as long as it's not narcoleptic media manipulated masochistic monotheism. I know! They could believe in themselves! :eek:

Before they turned her around, about 2002, there were ferns growing out of the seams on the east side. That basically means her planks have turned to fertilizer. Haul that sucker out on the hard and...

Is justice absolute? ;)

Hmmm... I've found both snails, properly prepared, and unused cigarette butts sooth me too! ;) :D

Drat! This is an interesting topic and I hope there will be further posts!

BTW, Eleseus: how do you feel about persecution of Muslim minorities in the US?

It's taken all this time for scientists to realize you can get a big bang out of a black hole? ;)

Some of we think we're god a little (ok, a lOT) more than the rest of we think we're god. :D

The notion of 6+ billion gods sure puts the Hindus to shame! :D

Sorry, eleseus, for thinking that a post about those poor downtrodden Christians and those nasty, evil Muslims was somehow religiously inspired. I didn't realize you were using Christianity as a base...

I'd say you have a lot of climbing to do before you could stoop to many people's level on this.

What cell of the Christiban do you belong to? One of those ones that wear pillow cases on their...

Tom; If what you've written is an accurate precis' of post modernism, I wouldn't bother/worry about a translation. Sounds a lot like reductio ad absurdum crossed with a bad...

Homosexual lawn dwarves? ;)

The real kicker is that, now that there are 3 states that allow gay marriage, is that it makes it de jure legal in all 50 states under the full faith clause of the constitution. DOMA is...

Have you lost your infatuation for spelling? ;)

Merry Christmas!

I accept that there are differences between us. What I don't accept is being called wrong, disloyal, unpatriotic and/or hateful for having those different opinions.

Erster is not interested in discussion or he would not short circuit every one of his threads with rabid emotionalism about hate and attacking. Erster mourns an America that never was except in nice...

"God rest ye, merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Erster will piss on this
like any other day"

Just lovely how you show the spirit of Christianity Erster.

Depends on how big the bottle the Christmas Spirit comes in! ;)

About this christian revolution thing: if you really get them going, how many RPM can they do and do you then call them holy rollers?

Y'all realize you're having a conversation with dryer lint, don'cha? Dryer lint is flamable and has an IQ of 0.

I'm so glad I've got it on ignore! :D

So, Lisa finally figured out things about you and Phil eh? ;)

I'm saving that news for later.

Better not let Chuck be on top - you know his heart is going to go at just the right/wrong moment and he's, shall we say, not light! ;)

What a way to go though. :D

My project is a little thing I like to call breathing... ;)

Glucose is totally variable. It's the amount of sugar disolved in your blood and that depends on how recently you ate and how well your metabolism/insulin processes are working. Normal glucose levels...
