Participants express relief at the continuation of the conversation and share light-hearted banter about past threads. There are inquiries about quoting from previous threads and discussions about job opportunities for friends. The conversation shifts to humorous takes on mathematics, particularly the concept of "Killing vector fields," which one participant humorously critiques as dangerous. Participants also share personal anecdotes, including experiences with power outages and thoughts on teaching at university. The tone remains casual and playful, with discussions about the challenges of winter, the joys of friendship, and even a few jokes about life experiences.

At a rational level, I have many times realized the complete futility of complaining . Yet, while I have cut down on it, I still do it way too often; it (the futility) does not seem to fully register in me, i.e., I have not internalized it for some reason.

A grilled cheese has become a great snack/quick meal solution, since I don't have a microwave: Turn oven on, put in bread,
let t warm up for a few minutes, put some butter, then cheese, and a quick meal in around 10-11 minutes.

That yummy! :-p

The only dream I had when I fell for someone was to sit on the house roof with him and make jokes about the stars while sipping some beer. I have never thought about having sex or even real wet kisses...:). (sounds like psychic hah :D )

Saffron market blossoms for Afghan farmers as alternative to growing poppy
http://www.splendidtable.org/story/...fghan-farmers-as-alternative-to-growing-poppy

A great idea! Why did it take so long to do this?
I'd never heard of this plant. Sounds like it could help us old folks... In more ways than one. :olduhh:

Saffron is also used for to increase interest in sex (as an aphrodisiac) and to induce sweating.

Some people apply saffron directly to the scalp for baldness (alopecia).

Beware. :oldgrumpy: I've heard there are similarities between dogs and their owners.

Don't worry Evo. I'm on your side. :angel:

Edit: This goes for you too.

I'm looking for some video, but there is non showing the transformation live. I'm guessing it is not instantaneous.

They do it on purpose I'm sure. Every time I am at home and need to study , the two-three show I like are
suddenly on. When I want to chill, there is nothing good on. It's part of a plan.

Anneliese Michel, the girl on whom the movie "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" is loosely based upon.

It was an image that came up when I googled images of demonic possession.

Evo's puppies, as nice, cute and adorable as they are (and I do believe they are), when photographed, produce images that are surprisingly similar to images in movies and popular culture that involve demonic possession.

(For what it's worth, I don't believe in demonic possession, but it does make a good movie plot.)

The case was tragic, regardless of whether there was any actual "demonic possession" or not, bringing about the emaciated and dehydrated girl to an untimely demise. One can also find some disturbing audio files on YouTube, and the case has frequently been attributed to medical misdiagnosis and negligence.

Someone will have to explain to me how that didn't change the way the plane handled.
Isn't it because the hull of the airplane forms a Faraday cage?

An article with a brand new picture of Pluto and Charon was recently posted here.
I am very excited about this, I wonder what it will look like when New Horizons arrives...

I'm talking about the hole in the nose of the plane.
