The Random Positive Words Thread

[Evangelicalhumanist]

I have great boobs...although they're really large pectoral muscles.

Hmmm. I hadn't really considered the distinction before. All I can say is, whatever they are, thinking about them has me slightly turned on.

I'll leave you both to it then, shall I?

 

[Wu Wei]

Sorry, not interested.

I also don't think you would resort to such luxury. I think you're the type to have a picnic with cheap sandwiches and generic store-bought orange soda, and invite @Wu Wei - with all due R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

so...I'm getting a pick-a-nick basket......HOORAY!!!!



So


When EXACTLY...am I GETTING my pick-a-nick basket

 

[Dan From Smithville]

@Revoltingest has pert breasts.

I almost spit my drink out. Wasn't even expecting this as I scrolled down the page.

 

[Aupmanyav]

@Aupmanyav is a walking encyclopedia of Hindu knowledge, and I appreciate that.
I find @Vinayaka 's focus and love for his religion inspiring.

I get much of my information from Wikipedia.

For @Vinayaka, I would say this:

"yadā sanharate chāyaṁ kūrmo’ṅgānīva sarvaśhaḥ
indriyāṇīndriyārthebhyas tasya prajñā pratiṣhṭhitā"

One who is able to withdraw the senses from their objects, just as a tortoise withdraws its limbs into its shell, is established in wisdom.

@lewisnotmiller is a top bloke, even though he's an Aussie. Of course all the staff are top top people. I hope you're noting that down staff.

My grandfather was English. Perhaps that's fooling you??

 

[mangalavara]

@mangalavara is a sensitive person who is kind to others. He is very knowledgeable on Hindusim and takes the time to live his religious beliefs.

Thank you for this. *Big, friendly hug*

 

[exchemist]

@Windwalker has a book in him and he needs to get it out.

I think @JustGeorge also has a book in her, which would be a lot of fun to read.

 

[RestlessSoul]

@Aupmanyav has an intriguing perspective on religion, culture and belief, which comes across as both uniquely personal and distinctly Indian. An interesting poster who, wrong or right, knows his own mind.

 

[Secret Chief]

I wonder where the passionate pink and lime green paisley shirt went?

Hopefully down a very deep hole.

I agree. It could be scratch-n-sniff too.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

I've thought about doing a book before. But what it came down to, was that for fiction, no publisher considered the fiction genre to be worth its weight, so it would take remarkable convincing for them to publish a fiction book. Or the writer would have to know the editor, or at least have a good literary agent.

As for non-fiction, it's not that hard to get accepted in theory, but the publisher expects you to have remarkable and amazing credentials quite often, to the point where if your credentials were that amazing, you wouldn't spend time writing them a book for a four-figure advance.

Ahh that's explains the modicum of civility.

Have you considered self-publishing?

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

Have you considered self-publishing?

To me, if one is looking for compensation for their work, self-publishing is like any other business endeavor - you put money into it, then see whether it will sink or swim.

 

[Hermit Philosopher]

And the Clarity of Mind Award goes to @Hermit Philosopher.

Goodness! What a surprise and honour.
Many thanks, @Secret Chief

Humbly,
Hermit

@Revoltingest is actually not revolting. Underneath that face is a heart of gold filled with true honesty.

Well, that explains the stomach ache... though, I don't remember eating any books...

I agree. It could be scratch-n-sniff too.

I think you'd make it one even if it wasn't.

 

[Secret Chief]

I have many talents.
