Groups and individuals following dharmic like or based and proven ways that are basically wholesome and universal for all people is ideal, while forms of censorship for those that are hell bent against same is needed if we are to "live and let live" in some kind of harmony in a very diverse world. (instead of censorship being used against dharmic ways)

as far as charities go I've donated to N.R.D.C for a long time, before and during that time to several other similar groups including Jacques Cousteau's ocean environment concerns and also the Calypso endeavors. In the past 4-5 years to 'Seva', a vision health and restoration group for folks for that can't get such help or afford it! Are you familiar with those ?

not really, except in an uncommon moment here or there.

manifest destruction

Admission prices can ruin things, many years ago I wanted to take my young daughter to a circus that was in town; it would be fun and of some excitement but when we got to the admission gate the price was way high which pissed me off and I didn't pay. Anyway 'they' know the have got most people with leverage since most people would just cave and pay their price since its for their kid. At other events and at other times I did pay but not that day.

those suckers were killing off a whole lot fish in the great lakes until someone painstakingly and finally found a substance that greatly reduced their numbers thus making area fishermen's jobs viable again!

true because evil can not reach or corrupt it...but when it comes to the ten thousand watch out!

ok, and misinterpreted as you say and or imply is dangerous (for instance idealistic sheep among wolves) The golden "Lion of Judah" is definitely not a meek or weak sheep!

well it was some fun, but impermanent...

Is it true Nungali, did you abandon your trusty row boat for one of these new fangled devices? (and that you can invoke the wind via the Wind god if need be to keep up propulsion?)

an elephant in destructive rampage is in the room, what's left of it.

Luke might be able to send you some Mexican sandals via Fed-Ex after he finishes his good Mexican beer? (but he will need to know if you went back down-under or are still headed upwards towards Portugal for a shipping destination?) That reminds me I think I'll go get a refreshing Modelo Especial from the fridge which may have some of the same drawbacks as eating grains (?) and read more of my "Wheat Belly" book; btw a slight beer belly sounds like a better attainment in comparison but could also just be a variation of a wheat belly? (as Taomeow might further enlighten us about with her diverse knowledge)

chess can reveal your ego to yourself and or that of another...it is a hard core war game but also has an artistic/creative/puzzle solving aspect to be enjoyed. (and if you really get into it time and most everything outside the game drops away, even though games are timed which can't be ignored)

never saw the play, "cats" but from photos it looks like it was fun...and many they had their tails.

being more or less forced to be a good Samaritan is nuts....when doing right is really on everyone!

i also read something along those lines; I believe it was someplace in Mexico where their runners are legend and only have very basic sandals to run in.

subconscious gremlins?

boy oh boy the little bear sure got big, but is still playful!

.triple post and deletion, why?

Darn those little gray guys! Btw my conditioning my never get used to women with real hairy armpits although in some countries it is normal...

agreed, and I wonder if Apech has done anything for his hairless/furless cousin besides turning up the furnace during cold winter days? (or sun block for sunny summer days)

ditto on the digestive problems; when we are younger our bodies are normally better able to compensate or recover from certain problems but as I get older the balance related to staying on keel is not so forgiving of unforced errors that I made or could get away with during younger years! btw, its common for college and some high school kids to really hammer their bodies with too much alcohol during parties, I did some of that but thankfully I survived the few times I over did it and then basically quit. (some time in my early 20's) I used to joke with the guys that they had to be in very good shape to knock the hell out of themselves with hard liquor and then be able to get back on their feet.

Have been reading some info on humans eating wheat and other grains. The info says most grains cause us problems, even serious health problems, with wheat (including whole grain) being about the worse and brown rice being about the best as far as not causing an array of health problems. Its kind of mind blowing considering that whole grains and greatly processed grains are in so many of our foods! A major point the book talks about is that humans did not evolve to digest grains as ruminants did (like cattle, etc..) but only resorted to grains ages ago during hard times to prevent starvation. Studies mentioned show that many native peoples who eat "modern" foods end up with many of the modern health problems but when returning to their much earlier types of food from foraging and or hunting that most regained much better health. Anyway something to consider the next time foods made with lots of grains are before us.

sounds like the naked truth, don't want them to have something tucked up their fur

this guy has had too many snacks at the garden parties over the years and went for a refreshing dip in a nearby river while also secretly hoping a salmon would jump into his mouth. (even though he is already stuffed)
