Hi Avi,
Mostly chopping wood and fetching water...
Got into classical (misnomer) music in a big way, running and running still, rediscovered whisky...
and lost a dear relative...
How about you?
(n help yourself to some cake.)

Hey Magog, chopping and fetching doesn't sound too bad....I'm still a rock fan...never had a taste for whiskey.....more of a beer guy....sorry about your relative....I lost a couple myself...thanks for the cake....here's a bagel with lox and cream cheese...enjoy.

Mmm ta....lox?
I'm still into my rock and my beer...in fact I started the beery thread...I'm a bit of a hophead, I prefer the "hop-forward" styles such as the new generation American Pale Ales.

Hi, Magog
Just passigng by your cafe. Good place to relax and find nice people. Have a brazilian coffe?
Von Bek, grief is a common feeling for me too. Just don't feed it, ok?
Disciple, as you see, I kind of mix christianity with buddhism, too. You're not alone.
Avi, my friend, I was missing you, afraid you have been swallowed by a whale in your trip to Ninive. But... I found you here, in this cafe. You are smarter than Jonah, ran away from God and survived without accomplishing your mission... or, didn't you?

You're right. If we can't feel happy for today, we surely can feel it for tomorrow.

Hi melkisedeke! Glad you like the cafe; it's a bit shabby but a comfy place to hang out. Especially after a hard day's posting!!

Hey Melki, good to see you over here in Sidd's. I'm still out swimming those pesky whales, but they are catching up with me. :sad4:
I have another two weeks on my trip to Ninevah and back, and I am entering the interesting part soon. So don't drink all the good tea that Magog puts out, until I return...I will give you all the gory details about what takes place inside that big fat whale.

I'm still intrigued by that Jonah as Assyrian theory.
hi, von bek
I read something you posted about the incompatibity of conciliating buddhism with christianity. Don't want to get out of this cafe, so i'll make a quick reply just here.
Maybe you're right if you think of buddhism as a religion, instead of a philosophy.
For me, as a christian, what impresses me most in buddhism is the emphasis it gives to the thoughts and to knowledge, instead of acts and fear: "Change your thoughts for getting out of the trap you got in" , that could have been said by Buddha, coudn't it?
However, that doesn't exclude the need of a faith in a allmighty God, with whom you can have a intimate and transforming relation in your attempt to get out of the trap.

You can learn from and apply Buddhist teachings but Buddha's "One's self is indeed one's savior" is essential and it kind of flies in the face of the core of traditional Christianity. New Agey Christianity and watered-down Buddhism together wouldn't be any problem
I'm still trying to perfect the perfect strength of coffee to go with almond milk for the most optimal coffee thusness experience. You guys get to be my test subjects. Straight jackets are on the top shelf in the closet in case you start bouncing off of the walls.

I'll be wearing a strait-jacket if anyone is going to be trying to get sullied coffee down me.
