    Cold Thai Pongal

    I got chilled just thinking about it. I hope it turns out well. Sadly, adverse conditions distract from the meaning of any event. Sort of like trying to drain a swamp when you’re up to your armpits with hungry alligators. May Lord Sūrya step in and turn up the heat. oṁ sūryadevāya namaḥ

    Asking for help - a Gofundme for moving.

    Thank you, that is very nice of you. My sister might be able to help. These days everyone has tight finances. If necessary we’d put our furniture in storage and stay somewhere.

    Asking for help - a Gofundme for moving.

    Thank you so much. I hope your brother-in-law does well. There are things landlords try to get away with. In my state selling a property is a valid reason for eviction as long as they write the notice-to quit properly. Mine didn’t, I called her out and she got defensive, knowing she was wrong.

    Asking for help - a Gofundme for moving.

    We are senior citizens living on Social Security Retirement and Disability. Our landlord tried to evict us without giving us a reason (rent is always paid). Then she said she wanted to give the condo to her children to live in. But that is illegal. She took us to court and lost. Illogical as it...

    There is not enough erosion between the rock layers years for very many years to have passed between them.

    To what end?

    Christmas No Longer Recognized As The Birth Of Christ

    'Tis the season to whine that you can't say Merry Christmas anymore. :rolleyes: Here's a personal observation about "Merry Christmas" v. "Happy Holidays". Some people may not like this, but they're my thoughts on my Facebook page, and because this whole thing is pissant: Want people to say...

    Poll: Who comes to mind the most when you think of Christmas?

    I have a renewed and rejuvenated love for Christmas. :D

    Why is someone praying for someone else offensive

    I only have a problem if someone wants to pray for me because they disapprove of something about me and want me to turn to their God or beliefs. Too many times I've heard "Turn to Jesus" or "Give yourself to Jesus" when I've mentioned some trouble I experienced. Or worse, "I'll pray for you in...

    What's Your Current Hairstyle?

    Shaved bald, full beard. I shave because I am bald on top.

    Do you celebrate Christmas

    Btw, trivia ... the "merry" in Merry Christmas does not mean jolly, happy. It means "peaceful". The word merry originally meant peaceful, quiet, calm. "Merry Christmas = "peaceful, quiet Christmas". The song is "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" to mean may God give you peaceful rest, not "God Rest...

    Do you celebrate Christmas

    I don't personally celebrate it anymore. I did as a Christian but I don't as a Hindu. I just go along for the ride with my family, who are Christian. I say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. I don't usually say it first but I'll respond with whatever the other person says. Yesterday or the day...

    Do you believe in reincarnation?

    I believe in reincarnation. I believe everything is energy and believe our consciousness, soul, or what-have-you is energy. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, so when our bodies die, the energy that makes up our conscious, soul, or what-have-you has to go somewhere or become something...

    Your Favorite Thing About Your Job

    I'm semi-retired. Career: I was an IT Systems Administrator. I liked making the systems do what I wanted/needed them to do (much control freak?), and therein solving problems. That was largely though because I found writing system procedures to be creative. Retirement job: Slicing cold cuts...

    Science seems to be near to explaining almost every religion, showing they are conscious organizations, NOT deities, not eternal or benevolent.

    My eyes glazed over ... more than usual, and that's saying a lot. :D:D:D

    Pure Mind

    Nice take on it, and I agree. I wrestle with the state of my mind daily ... and I'm not winning the wrestling match. :confused:

    Right turn on red? With pedestrian deaths rising, US cities are considering bans

    It’s not universal. Different locations have different procedures.

    preferred method of execution?

    Lethal injection. I would not want it administered as an opioid because oxycodone, my pain med for my back makes me goofy. So I don't think that would work. The opioid that makes me react badly is dilaudid. I learned that in the hospital after my surgery. It wasn't pretty. So yeah, the typical...

    Right turn on red? With pedestrian deaths rising, US cities are considering bans

    Tbh that looks like the NJ Tpk interchange at 15W in Kearny NJ. It scared the bejeezus out of me when I drove it.
