“No,” said the Buddha.
“Well, then, are you some sort of magician or wizard?”
Again the Buddha answered, “No.”
“Are you a man?”
“No.”
“Well my friend, what are you then?”
“I am awake.”
(may we all be so awake or woke)

“It is said that soon after his enlightenment, the Buddha passed a man on the road who was struck by the extraordinary radiance and peacefulness of his presence. The man stopped and asked, “My friend, what are you? Are you a celestial being or a God?”

Was forced to play it once with my adult kids, and was pretty tipsy at the time. I won! Never again; don't want to break my streak! 🤣

Exactly! Media tracked down the families of a few of the guys and yes, some had drugs but small amount cause they needed to make money for their families. The kingpins don't give a shit about these little guys & they will find other ways to transport. This is a stupid tactic & ineffective & wrong.

They all have nice salaries and good healthcare. And many other benefits their constituents are not so lucky to have. Evil.

And the other marketers break it off (day after Christmas) just when we should be blossoming into full celebration with the 12
days of Christmas up to Epiphany! By then most folks are exhausted of it all. The drama has been eroded...

They do great work! Deserve out support. And who knew how smart elephants are!

yes, it's about that and about the violence being exhibited by the mob. Why do folks conflating it with homosexuality conveniently forget the virginal daughters being offered up instead? Violence all the way around.

My adult kids would have been at my door bright and early this morning with an intervention for sure. But then I have decent adult kids.

I so resent that his kids, his wife, do not tell him to sit down and get out of the presidency that he is damaging for us all. Decent family members would intervene. Clearly, money and power have poisoned them all. Pathetic.

This is both true and untrue. What some dogs sense in their owners emotional needs and respond to is sometimes uncanny. A dog's response can reveal more than just trying to get food. Quite a stretch to put so much weight on disliking dog owners. Different strokes for different folks.

Yeah, nobody is going to be there to take care of Grandma in the nursing home. Suit up; you'll have to do it yourself.

Mr. Miller, this is exactly what Hitler said about your relatives and how they were incompatible with Germany. Racist slime.

It's not really the time in the plane (although the seats have gotten more crowded); I find the attendants perfectly fine. But it's the chaos in the airport with delays on delays; lack of accountability, and fees upon fees.

Really not a fan of how a religious tradition has been so appropriated by capitalism and greed. And especially the total misunderstanding of what the 12 days of Christmas are! Epiphany anyone? You know, the 12th day AFTER Christmas?

Yes, all the stories about young people coming to the Catholic Church, or in this case the Orthodox Church, may not represent a lifelong change for them. I remember the '60's when many young people embraced Eastern spirituality and practices but that waned. No big TM gatherings anymore.

No wonder he went bankrupt several times! His own instincts, while feral, do not serve him well in reality.
