Can PF Random Thoughts be Split to Help with Server Load?

[dlgoff]

This is this thread's 1000th post.

In order to help with server load, we are splitting up the larger threads.

Time for Part 3?

Time for Part 3?

The original was 1100 PAGES before it got split. It's the moderators call, but I think we're just getting warmed up here.

gawd it's a tough world for introverts

 

[drizzle]

My ears are burning. :(

 

[OmCheeto]

It rained!

and I saw a rainbow

Then I thought of a new to be bride, who asked about rainbows.

I took numerous pictures of rainbows over the last 30 days.

The first rainbow made me think of the bride.

The universe, is wonderful.

Good night.

 

[drizzle]

You took pictures over the last 30 days and you're sharing this with us.. In words??

You should hear the story of the spider in my truck. It's been playing in my head all week.

... *thinks Om's drunk*

Or maybe I need to sleep. :)

I should probably change my profile, and modus operandi...

Being drunk, is just too easy... (hic!)

Ok. I'm really going to bed now...

:zzz:

I hate looking at the Callender.

I've realized I've started to have issues about some people who tend to be overcontrolling and "drama queens" in my acquaintanceship (I had to consult wiktionary for these words ). O' ye great oracle of PF random thoughts, how to deal with this situation? I find I have a hard time with drama queens, they deplete my energy...

Don't bother with them in the first place. Life is just too short.

You might do some introspection to see how it is you are initially attracted to them.

Thanks for the good answer, o 'ye great oracle . Introspection is probably a good idea, I have to do something about this. Maybe there is a little sleeping drama queen inside of me who are attracted to other drama queens? Hmm, makes me wonder... I don't want to turn into a drama queen .

There is something compelling about people who generate lots of drama - I've fallen into that. But it gets exhausting soon enough.

Introspection is so hard! Perhaps scientists/engineers might be better at it than others, due to all our training to be objective, but still it's not an easy thing to do.

Your comment hits close to home, btw: someone very close to me is dealing with a person who is controlling and has created lots of drama in the last few years.

darn, found an old tv show I used to enjoy watching decades ago, and it's complete garbage, I can't watch it. Maybe it will get better. For the time, it had cool computers and holographs, and a cool castle and old books, kind of like a warehouse 13.

<sigh>

The pretty girl on the show was the daughter of Tommy Chong, of "cheech and chong".

Rae Dawn Chong, female romantic lead in the 1981 blockbuster, Quest For Fire. She was naked in all her scenes, as I recall.

After beginning to read Catch-22, I've figured out that Om's literary counterpart is Orr.

hmmmm...

Described as "a warm-hearted, simple-minded gnome," Orr is the only person in the Group considered to be crazier than his good friend Yossarian

I may, or may not, take that as a compliment...

I'll read the book again, and let you know.

It's been at least 40 years since I've read it, and have not a clue what it's all about.

Though, I have an inkling of what "Catch-22" means.

I meant more so that you two shared a similar sense of humor, at least in my eyes

I'm about 100 pages in, and have determined thus far that it's a book with an odd writing-style, filled with a bunch of slightly humorous anecdotes. If it weren't for the such raving reviews, I'm not sure I would continue to read it, but I'm hoping it improves.

I got 50 pages into a book last fall, and decided that the author and I had the exact same sense of humor. I had to put it down. Freakin' Canuck...

No, Robbi Chong.

Weird. I wasn't aware there was another Chong daughter.

 

[Evo]

I'm amazed that they're both so beautiful. He has 5 natural children by 2 wives and an adopted son.

I just realized the term 'natural children' is kind of funny .

It didn't occur to me that there would be a thread on it. It was just a random thought to me.

Tomorrow I am taking a second round test on optics. My professor said I did fairly good on the previous one but still needed to confirm my real general knowledge on the second round, I guess it is mainly about how I can manage hard stuff.
-Good luck inotyce!
-Thanks I badly need it.

I'm going to take a break from PF.

Not enough fans for Mr. E, the poet?

Hope all is well with you. :)


RT: great! Now I'm addictive to this anime.

Yesterday, the store had all of their Halloween stuff out. It's not even the middle of August...

 

[drizzle]

I'm having a difficult time trying to sleep. This insomnia is not justified, I need my sleep.

 

[zoobyshoe]

And it's not even for this coming Halloween. It's for Halloween 2016.

But it does feel like September outside. The cobwebs are flying and it's too dang cold.

You sound like CNN.

I can't believe it's the dog days of summer and it's too cold for my eggplant to set. Temps in the 50's tonight. I'm not complaining though.

If you can hear me over the internet you have some special kind of hearing.

Last weekend I was at the swap meet looking over this guy's stuff for sale and had to listen to him telling some other guy how he was going through some kind of homeopathic procedure to remove the unnatural mineral deposits from his body. Today at a coffee shop I had to listen to some girl saying how she was going to volunteer her services at doing 'energy chelation therapy' on people.

Austin, Texas

This is a great free place for kids to play. Right next to the fountain is a pond, filled with turtles, perch and minnows. I always bring extra bread to share with anyone wanting to feed the aquatic life:

Running is water is great, but sometimes I prefer to swim in it. The depth is ~13 feet or ~4 meters:

Over the summer, the Austin Symphony plays free concepts on the auditorium's lawn:

Blues on the Green is another popular one:

There is also free theater:

Austin has always intrigued me. It struck me as a beacon of light, in a very dark (black gold, Texas tea) kinda place.

Saw something today about the L.A. river.

I suppose only in California, would they pave a river...

Though as I recall, certain sections of the Mississippi are also cement lined.
