I was building a green house in my back yard; my brother said to put sand and then gravel on top. I checked with a landscaper friend who made me remove every bit of sand and put small gravel in it instead. It worked out great. But it was a pain getting the sand out.

Thanks for the comment on the book. I’m going to check it out

My mom loved this pairing as well. I find it so interesting that all these older women liked this painting. I wonder what the draw was? What did they see? I always thought it was weird but didn’t know the back story.

It’s so cool to be able to take trash out or take a shower. I wonder sometimes if I will be able to do it. I like to take the trash out after midnight, so it’s really on my terms. Good luck everyone.

I still love her so. Wow!

Do you have any maps?

Make sure to go past 84 Charing Cross Road. There was a book written about that now closed bookshop. Cool story, if you can find the book.

There’s a “Skeleton Key to Finnegan’s Wake” by Joseph Campbell

Maybe!

You have to admit ‘Shadowfax’ was fast though.

‘Babe?’ How well do you know her?

If you have arthritis it may come or go with weather. Try a heating pad.

They are worried because they know they are not going to be around forever. They want you to be ready. I’ve been there with family members and I know how long it takes for the brain to kick in. Try reading the Primal Teen.

Nature heals.

🦅You can do it. I’m glad you asked for help.

Just tell them you are getting ready for 2023

Sorry this is long and not sure what you wanted but the story and questions set my mind racing.

I really enjoyed thinking about this. The questions were really interesting.

I often wonder about doctors and/or therapists. Do they trust what the patient says? How can they be sure the patient is saying true things? Do they think people are self-destructive because they can’t extricate themselves from family, jobs, partners, practices that are unhealthy? Does the doctor or therapist want to ask more questions of people on this subject but feel it might damage a sensitive system set up by the patient just to survive? They may not want to rock the boat? Or they don’t have TIME to go that deep? Or they already know that some humans are going to be this way? The doctor is more clinical and wants numbers: BP cholesterol etc.. but needs to know also if patients are safe in their house or depressed? All this takes time to gather and the patient may not be able to think fast enough to be truthful about any of it, if they are in a bad situation. Obviously, Hannibal had his mind set when he went in as monster. Most patients see a doctor once a year or less and are not thinking what questions will be asked. Or what help can be obtained. They are just not self-aware. They want help with one issue.

The therapist still has limited time but how deep does he/she want to explore? They both see plenty of humans and know that humans don’t always follow nutritional and exercise advice, many humans don’t take their meds. Do doctors or therapist really ever get answers to these questions? Can the patient ever really explain the why of it? Does the patient think they know when they will die? Do they already have a sense of how they will die and are comfortable with that? They will die like grandma died…. When it comes time to die, will they have regrets?

I was interested in the guilt of the healer. He thought the voice sounded like his friend but he didn’t ask? He didn’t question the monster more? Did he try hard enough to diagnose the situation? Since he didn’t know Hannibal was the puppeteer: If it had been me I would have been sad and angry. Guilty. I think guilt is inevitable in this situation because a person died. Why would my friend trick me like that? I would have wondered if he got tired of being a hermit yet couldn’t make himself give up the title and go back to living with others. Was it ego? Did he use the healer to commit suicide? That would make me/healer angry too. With suicide there are no answers. All you are left with is questions. Why don’t humans ask deeper questions? I wonder this all the time. I try to devise better questions, myself.

Thanks for the thought provoking experiment.

I love it! I need a cup of cocoa with that.

Chicken wire?

Sometimes the library has 3D printers

I just cleaned mine out, it wasn’t too scary, but the amount of small notebooks, pens and protein bars in the just knocks me out. No wonder it’s so heavy.

They said ‘check for damage’ as it sounds like the original installer did not install it correctly in the first place. This is just good troubleshooting.

I read about these cerebrospinal fluids some years ago and I visualize that now when I go to sleep. Ok time for my brain to have a bath! Lol

I watched this that night. Hated to see him lose his life.

I have some kind of arthritis- fingers wrists have been itching like crazy. For some reason I wondered if weights would help.
