How are you brother?

Book of James totally rocks!

Huh. Whiskey is a bit too strong for me. I've got peppermint tea, which I love, and then in case I feel feverish I've got meadowsweet, which contains a mild painkiller. Also, now I have a good reason so stay snuggled in bed for most of the holiday without anyone complaining.

I'm good. Bit of a cold, though. You can't really avoid it in this weather, so I walk around croaking half the mornings.

Hello, Sage. I was posting, so I didn't see your message right away.

Shalom. Have a meaningful and joyful (secular) New Year!

thankyou my freind ,

how strict ? quite A lot ! allthough it has become normality , it is only when I go to eat with others that I realise . ....honey ? no ....allthough last year I accepted some from a freind who keeps bees and assures us that only a small amount is taken from the hives and we know that the bees are more than well cared for and as he has taught beekeeping all his working life and truely loves his bees , the only time I might break the rule is on accepting a gift given out of love , eg , prasad , in which case I will try allways to take what contains no milk or ghee .on the whole I wont take food cooked in a non vegetarian household appart from family as to rebuff their hospitality would wrong . and will only buy the most simple prepaired foods , because comercialy prepaired food contains so much muck and rubbish !

10 years all power to you , makes for happy peacefull people :namaste

Thanks for the frubie!

That is so true, Sage. Have a great year ahead.

Lol me? Never

You're blue! Congratulations!

You're very welcome. I do appreciate such thoughtful, respectful posts. It's nice when people tolerate all religions and contribute meaningfully to understanding them. Merry Christmas (or Yule or whatever you celebrate. )

Thanks for the friend request. I love your avatar, by the way.

Thanks Sage!

Cleared my friends list, actually it does seem like it might be a good idea, I don't want to not accept any friendship requests... so then What? .dishonesty

Haha not at all man, i'm actually in the process of getting back to you.

Your explanation put a lot of things in perspective, and i have a couple of things that i'm gonna share with you.

Thanks! Glad to be back and see everyone

thankyou , it is the purpose of life , me thinks !

interesting - good luck with it.
What's your degree subject?

I'm about to head into day eight of a twelve day (or night, rather) straight work stretch. Just four more days, and then a ten day Christmas break.
