Does anyone know, was this Hegseth, or Patel?

Reg:

Will e-coli parties be as successful as measles parties are?

Not just e-coli but anything the cow’s udder touches or anything the cow isn’t innoculated to prevent. (And Anti-Vaxxerism tends come with Raw Milk Cultism and tends to be a cross-species pathology.) The e-coli party could also include Amoebic Dysentery, Botulism, Bird Flu,…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Ecumunism does not always mean peace or tolerance. Sometimes it just means sharing a common hatred:

Simon,

A very quick-witted reply.

Strega,

I think the top killer for the tribe is heart attacks or heart disease, closely followed by untreated diabetes. Sleep apnea would be a long way down that list.

They are all interrelated and even reinforcing. Obstructed sleep affects the brain which also affects heart and pancreas gland functioning. It also affects strength to exercise…[Read more]

@regthefronkeyfarmer Oh well, now I’m de-modded maybe @unseen will talk to me again 😜

Enco, there was one day when the boys decided to drive into town (there are no actual roads to the marae, you just drive over scrubby sandy bumps till you get to a road) to get Fish & Chips and sliced white bread. The fish was covered in thick batter so I opened one up and ate the white meat inside the batter case. One of the boys eyes lit up, he…[Read more]

Bring it on if you have a god on your side!! 🙂

Seriously Strega, that is not good enough. You will always be more that a participant to us all !!! I am making protest signs. We need more god mods!!

Jake:

When I think of Mantras, I think of the old Matt Groening cartoon from his pre-Simpsons days doing the comic strip “Life in Hell.”. He drew an anthropomorphized cow sitting in a lotus position and saying: “Your Mantra is: Moooo!” 🐮😁

@strega – that’s a fantastic story.  The thing about pre-industrial people is their strong community ethos.  It shows how good it is for us.

Enco: the buzz is now snoring.

Strega:

I hate to be a buzz-harsher, but that snoring you heard could be a sign of potentially deadly sleep apnea.

I hope the Maori of today are not so isolated from medical modernity that they don’t see a Physician about that.

Thanks Strega.

Good read unspoiled by a walk. And yet i love to walk and conduct internal talk utilizing internal clock. Tick tock metronome block.

I thought of mantra and how one college class on religion the first day professor said here we are AGAIN. There was some recent notion in astronomy or cosmology that indicated life might just repeat…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!!

Reg, one of these days that’ll be a reality 🙂

Strega, I will meet up with you in a hour or two…..

Enco, Jake…. I’ve spent thirty minutes deciding how to choose a small window into profundity. I’ve landed on a Māori experience.

Each tribe has its own “marae” which is their sacred community building where they attain a sense of ‘belonging’. It is prohibited for non-tribe members.  I was adopted as sister, and embraced into the shared flow of…[Read more]

Have a great week!

Strega,

Any stories you care to share i am all ears.

Also, how did your experiences alter your world view?
