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)

a basically and near perfect teacher and doctrine does not necessarily make for a basically and near perfect student that is looking for such, and who once they GET their hands on same and wrap their heads around it they then will be in the ballpark of "enlightenment"... for enlightenment is right under our noses and is not found out there somewhere or with near perfect memorization of doctrine from someone or school, although such pointers can be of great use while on the wheel. their enlightenment is theirs, not ours via only intellectual or partial knowledge of same.

co-ed cooking to take care of the hungry, the rest depends all parties

Just follow the stairs up to the commune where many smart and beautiful women live and who haven't seen a man for a whole year being they are on some kind of retreat...

About every other day some major website falls prey to being hacked, with US. cities, counties, states, and federal agencies being no exception! (same is happening in other countries!) The same goes for various big and small businesses and everyday people; so who in the hell can keep up with this endless and negative criminal barrage? I can't, for nothing is safe in this world even compared to 20 years ago which was not all that safe either. Such can't go on forever and I don't want to think about when it all comes crashing down... some preparations can be made but only up to a point via prepping. The rest comes down to where we stand with the higher forces...

such traps are something a "smarter than the average bear" would avoid, (as Yogi of the flintstones might say)

sounds like those guys are a work in progress for their wives, same here in the U.S.. Btw I'm not that fat or hairy but my wife has found things about me to point out over the years.

hmm, what's that about rye and LSD?

indeed!

Yes, btw there could be a few wild bears left but not many since most have been domesticated and prefer quality wine and interesting conversations at garden parties hosted by Apech. (he had to buy countless gallons of expensive Portuguese red to keep the bears happily occupied, thus preventing him and his fellow countrymen from becoming bear snacks)

I keep seeing chess pieces and moves in my head and they don't want to stop, so I've been playing the game too much... there are also song loops we sometimes get in our heads that don't want to stop. (or other kinds of loops) how about for you?

caution, don't go too far north or you could end up in icy waters...(with hungry polar bears around)
