SO many ways to respond to this. There light and shadow in almost all things. It the most meta level, the Internet is an awesome invention because it allows us to have instant communication with like-kind

Ah, memory lane! FGTH was a favorite towards the end of my Uni days and beyond. The "Relax" issue was somewhat downplayed here in the States — oddly enough. I remember watching an interview with

Cool that you hve assembled so many drippy tokens in one place! I usually don't even notice some of these esoteric tokens until they go from being zero to suddenly having a value (usually 0.001 Hive) in

Happy to serve up my minuscule vote for this; I really like that scarcity of tokens is a part of the picture here. Posted using sloth.buzz

Yes, and it's interesting how many historical figures undoubtedly had "something" going on that was central to making them who they were. Parallel to your outlines, consider someone like Joan

Yep. (Most) Western medicine is based around treating the patient, rather than healing them. But in a for-profit medical system, a "well" individual is no longer a profit center. The field of

I think there's a lot of truth in that. Yes, you can have a genuine chemical/biological imbalance, and it may even be heritable... and it's totally appropriate to apply "illness" to that. Most

I appreciate the recommendation... sounds interesting, I'll have to check that one out!

Interestingly close to reality... we actually have a "welcome" front door mat, but the welcome is for us, when we step outside...

Food poisoning is just an awful experience! I guess two days without refrigerating something with dairy is just pushing it too far. That said, we keep the butter sitting out on the counter, and that's

I've pretty much steered clear of that particular circus. I have a 15-year old Twitter account that I barely use because I'm not really into short form content. I already know this so there's no reason

There's definitely something to that! We notice we feel better about ourselves and life in general during the late spring and summer when we are active in the garden and yard... and not so much in the

The Chadeaux knows... more than we can imagine.

Interesting... and very sad. When I lived in Texas I actually lived close to the giant USAA building, and it seemed like everyone used them for everything from insurance to banking... and raved about them.

It may be a slight exaggeration, but it's also true. Life in the USA is dominated by constant activity. It's like there is no "off switch" on constantly running. The sad thing is that all this

Well, you took a huge and brave step... not just the first one, but announcing it out into the community! So big bonus points for that! What you drink can actually make a huge difference. I have a heart

For now, we'll be staying where we are. Time will tell, in another 5 years or so, things might be different.

I guess the thing I find troubling is the fact that all these (mostly newer) homes are based on what people can afford, rather than on what they actually want/need. We're hoping to find about a 1000-1200sf

Well, perhaps not train robberies anymore... but cybertheft is definitely turning out to be an option some choose!

Well, let's all hope it tips in a direction we all like... or at least can live with...
