Thank you! You're the best.

As mentioned it's not been proven as accurate. The most important thing is that you are intuitive about what works for you.

I think that there are other factors at work also, I know that I'm weird as most folks my age are getting
heavier and weaker and I lost weight and got stronger at the same time

I guess it is a long process. I don't have the answers for everything I'm still learning.

There are pests that attack certain things and other pests that attack other things and often you have to wait till they attack to figure out how to handle them. I've handled the cane borers before I just got caught not protecting against them by sealing the canes of the plants.

interesting because I am an introvert. So I need the green space and quiet, many times no music or TV or any kind of sound at all to recharge. As an infj there is just too much chatter going on at my brain.

I've learned to be alone and ok with it but sometimes I find you brain won't leave me in peace and I have to distract it with a challenge and I find socializing a challenge that distracts me well as people I don't know are to me like opening a box of chocolates not knowing what they will say/do and how to address them and start conversations without feeling uncomfortable or alienating them entirely. I force myself to be outgoing but I detest drama and avoid people that thrive on it I'd rather be alone than among people who cannot have a calm conversation with respect for others. I usually don't have it quiet at all background music or the TV while I'm doing something else. I do like quiet way over irritating noise and when I'm constantly inundated with excessive noise dead quiet is often ok but I tend to obsess over things overanalyzing things excessively instead of shutting my brain off.

very true! The one person in particular I was thinking of there must have been 25 things that seemed coincidental in the 7 weeks that I knew him. And even after there were so many things I learned on social media about him that was too familiar. And there was a stream of people that I meant after him that had similar backgrounds, it was like a repeat happening over and over of things I had never known before.

As people are a lot the same, doing the same things isn't uncommon we often only make connections when our mind is relaxed and bored even as if it wants to find a problem to solve it will actually try and find something different. There are people that get sucked into things like numerology and although there are patterns some desire to make those patterns into something that can profit them in some way.

Haha, well I guess black it is. But I think you wear it well. If you really think about it, black is the attire that you wear at the most formal of a functions. For women it can be elegant and for men it can be ... I'm not sure what the same would be? Dandy or dapper? Either case, I think the Lord has definitely blessed you and I pray many more blessings follow.

I am not a fan of the color black overall for attire and celebration. I do like black or dark colors to tone down bright light to help me relax and/or sleep better but I don't have any black shirts and only dress socks for wearing with a suit that are black. I think some people look great with black clothes as the color accents their features either toning down or contrasting while others maybe not so. I've been told I look better in blue and so when they do that I just.... smurf along with it.

I sat in a room, alone, eating Black Jack gum. Lol. I remember it because I was anxious I might make a bad grade in school missing those days. I was very concerned to do well. Thank goodness, that passed.

I ate too much licorice and my tongue turned black...... so I drank a lot of milk to try and counteract it.

 

[Sophrosyne]

I am sad

eat some chocolate?

I have to agree I am trying to stay away from that. It was good chatting with you. I am going to be taking a break from social media and here for the next week.

Wishing everyone a most Blessed week! And will be praying for those I said I would be praying for. Taking time away from social media and here for the week and I will be back on the weekend.

Praying for you all!

I need to stay out of debate forums because it makes my mental health worse...

What are everyone's thoughts on The Handmaid's Tale ? I am interested in reading the book and watching the series. Is that unChristian? I've probably seen and read enough garbage for several lifetimes. shrug

I read the books and watched the series. I enjoyed it. But when the pandemic hit there were eerie correlations I couldn’t dismiss. And there’s references to the occult as well. “Under his eye” is the eye of providence on the dollar.

While Gilead is supposedly Christian the message is anti-Christian and meant to foster distrust. At this point in my walk, when I watch things like that I’m looking for hidden messages. Because I know what to look for.

But on a practical note, if I don’t feel a pressing need to do so I won’t be watching. It isn’t edifying. There’s a lot of subjugation and mistreatment. You have to consider if that’s beneficial to consume or if a less grittier series would be best.

Not a bad idea..... I'm one of those nuts who only takes a break from here (not on other social media) when I'm too busy with work.

Debate forums are only good to sharpen your knowledge and delivery. Most of the time people there aren't going to change their mind you can only hope that someone invisible is watching it and gets something from it. This site used to be mostly entertainment and fun and only about 20% debate/politics/religion. People left when the site sold the first time and more left when the new owners in sequence nerfed all the fun and games in the forum. They used to have wild chat threads that would fly with posts at one time.

I've said it before and will say it again. Entering into any kind of debate in any format in any topic with the objective of winning your opponent over to your viewpoint is foolishness.

I concur. I don’t mind sharing an opinion. But I’m not going back and forth with anyone. I’ve got better ways to spend my time.

Usually plenty of people to argue things that get posted as "bait" threads anyway.

You should be dreaming about doing something

That's a cute reply! Thank you!! I agree!

 

[Sophrosyne]

I'm dreaming about sleeping right now..... and am awake doing it.

Bleh, we're apparently seeing Dr Strange this weekend. The MCU is okay at best. There's 30 or so of these movies. Do a few w/ the X-Men & Fantastic 4 then end it. They all seem like largely the same movie to me. & I don't mean trope-wise. I mean they need to do different tones & styles.

I do really like: the Incredible Hulk, The Winter Solider, Guardians of the Galaxy 1, Ragnarok, & Infinity War, tho.

We saw it. I was more entertained then I was expecting. Still just a standard MCU movie.
