I think every issue has it's radicals on both sides who find some reason to constantly get angry at and attack the other side. There are those meat lovers who seem to get offended by the very existence

I used to have a similar bread egg everyday. It was very tasty! Japanese mayo, egg, fried. Yum. I forget what I used to pay for that... it probably wasn't much over ¥100 at the time. But this was 20 years

Wish I had more HBD to pull out. I converted most of mine at 15 cents. I should have waited!!

Going back seems obvious, until you really think about it. Every little change you make would change who you ended up becoming and change the path you took, so almost nothing you remember about the last

Positioning it in the walkway is a good compromise, I suppose. Much better than people who just leave them free floating in the middle of the lot.

Good man! !PIMP

You are a scholar and a gentleman!

Ah so you make him do it! Nice 😜 I hadn't thought of that clear the table thing, since clearing the table is just the default here and it's somewhat unthinkable otherwise. But yeah, I remember in the

haha I did say context matters. In your situation, I might do the same. Clearing the table after eating... now that's another good test! Here in Japan that's the default. But yeah, I remember in the States

Good timing! I'll go check out your poem.

That sounds pretty sweet. We don't have that in Japan yet. I'd be afraid though of the clerk picking all the bruised fruit and boxes/cans with dents on them. Hmm... I have teenage trust issues, maybe.

I think a few places in the US do have that pay for a cart/get it back thing, but since the largest common US coin is only .25, it's not really much of an incentive. haha well, we can thank your OCD for

I didn’t realize cyberattacks against schools had increased so much. That’s crazy. Good luck dealing with that! It’s a familiar pattern, though, isn't it? Safeguards often look unnecessary, until they’re

I never served, so I don't know personally, but I can imagine how hard it is. I've seen how hard it is for most vets. I always remember my grandfather who was a medic in WW2 and how he hated the sound

Oh I wasn't thinking gold. Maybe gold colored, but some base metal.

I wish you the best on your drinking problem. Yes, that is the thing with alcoholics or borderline alcoholics — people like them when they are drunk and so often encourage the drinking. I have never struggled

It's always been there. Remember, even Jefferson and Adams, best of friends, had their falling out over politics and became very bitter towards each other, before finally renewing their friendship at the

Daydreaming by itself isn't too bad. It's just your brain stretching. You commented about this on my Zen post, so from a Zen perspective we'd say the daydreaming is your monkey mind. Everyone has the same.

Looks wonderful!! Ah, so even though you aren't in Japan, you still follow the Japanese way and make something for your husband. I bet he was very happy to see that cake!

I'm one of those people under a rock. I didn't realize the Olympics were being held now until a student commented about it yesterday. In my defense, I never watch TV. If it's on, my kids are watching Youtube
