Songtsan Posted May 10, 2015 I must correct what I said, as I misinterpreted/misremembered what I had heard from my girlfriend. She says this, "It is true that they would perform a healing ceremony, but it would also be an indication that something is wrong with the entire system, that there is a systemic illness within the community - some sort of break down, and that their expression was an apparition that was coming through them to communicate an illness. So they were a messenger, sort of like the canary in the coal-mine." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rara Posted May 10, 2015 Ok, I want More_Pie_Guy back on TDB! Bring him back from space! Let the villains get their happy endings! Â That ship has sailed...I believe there was a big discussion over this. Mods weren't interested in the slightest lol. Â I too often found him useful though.

Nungali Posted May 10, 2015 Petition to bring back the seahorses.   And don't you know that the canaries are the first ones to die?  And their equivalent  in water, to indicate its purity, now seems in abundance in  - of all places - Sydney Harbour ;  these little guys (apparently they are everywhere there now)    I was pretty impressed last visit. A harbour full of ships, ferries, sailing boats, pleasure craft, with a city and CBD on all its shores, I was at Darling Harbour, the busiest foreshore and looked into the water over the edge; crystal clear, heaps of  vegetation and lots of different  types of fish !   Some one is doing their job well !  ( a  15 years ago it was a grey murk with floating plastic bottles and jellyfish )  Oh yeah ... they got a wild  penguin colony as well - the last mainland one in Australia ... and they chose Sydney Harbour ?  http://fnpw.org.au/plants-a-wildlife/birds/little-penguin/manly-little-penguins  http://scienceillustrated.com.au/blog/marine-australia/underwater-sydney-sea-monsters-of-the-harbour/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted May 10, 2015 Yep. I must agree that some folks down there are doing a very good job.  Seahorses are still caught and sold, mostly to the Chinese, but the Aussies are domestically breeding them and returning them to the wild in order to maintain the population and species.

Basher Posted May 12, 2015 I'm not even sure that Deci would be interested in coming back to the fold. Â Although I used to enjoy our PM's, I did wonder how many different personalities she had/has. Â Presume that DB was banned for a legitimate reason, so cannot really go against the Mods decision, as don't know the full facts. Â Besides, as someone pointed out previously, if I want to know her thought thesedays, I can simply look at her Blog. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
