Indeed, yesterday was the birthday of ulli and Playdoh of Ataraxas, and here is wishing it was a good one for all involved!

I know you mean well, iota. ulli’s birthday isn’t listed on her “about me page”, nor did I see it on the public calendar. Administration emails a birthday wish to me. They are the only ones that have that personal information. I assume they’d not pass it along even if it’s only to post on the private ‘members only’ thread.

There are critical reasons why I’ve not offered personal information including DOB. I’m not shy about stating my age and have done so on occasion. Also, I’m extremely uncomfortable being front and center. It’s just not in my nature.
Thanks in advance,
Paula

Guys, it’s no big deal.
Thanks anyway.
Very kind, all of you.
I turned 73…no big secret, just a bit scary thinking about it, especially since I feel like I’m 25 still.
Everyone here in Costa Rica where I live has been making quite a fuss, especially FB friends and relatives.
Senior citizens are getting their old age rubbed in their face.

absolutely did i mean ONLY to bring joy! and said she really liked the post

as well as i checked with her prior to posting and was given absolutely NO indication of anything critical

she mentioned it was common knowledge in years past that had been celebrated openly on this very thread.

i tend to be pretty responsible in my actions .. so ... its why i checked prior to posting

but thanks for the interjection again P.

promise to keep in mind Your critical reasons if it ever DOES pertain to You



gentle reminder: a PM would have resulted in return PM btw
or maybe you too, could have checked with her prior to posting?
first time ever to encounter a rebuke for trying to bring joy ...

No. Not a rebuke nor tone of any sort, iota. It was a respectful request to protect my privacy.

Checking with ulli prior to posting doesn’t solve my concern with your project. 2670 pages (53,000+ posts) on the H&N is a lot to dig through, which is why I worked backwards from ulli’s ‘about page’ and the public calendar, that is after I checked mine.

To clarify, it wasn’t a post about ulli’s birthday. I lead in with the example to go on to explain my situation.

As for PMing you, you’ve made it clear about me contacting you. I understand and I also agree with your request.

Just in case… I’ll state here and now…this post is written without drama, accusations, or (fill in the blank). It’s a simple clarification.

ok, but not kinda sure why since nothing about was about you?

not really sure what is going on with you or undestand too well

i'm sorry you let your imagination run away with you as i understand that you imagined some impending threat to you personally?

and posting publicly which kinda DID put you "front and center" and kinda DID create a bit of imaginary drama around something not for you or related to you?

or what you are talking about the need to go through 2670 pages (5300+ posts)??

this was just ONE page back ... EVERYONE saw ... ?



please ..it's ok ... everything is all right ..

nothing is wrong, ok?



THIS is ALL that happened:

i saw this:

Thank you Ulli and all.


You distinguish between emotions and weapons. I’d say emotions are being weaponized, because everything is being weaponized, including ‘truth’, and often involuntarily. My saying so almost comes across as some kind of terrorist attack – almost, but not quite. Stand clear: Lewis’s tower of Babel of murderous gibberish is upon us.

Happy birthday Ulli.

i checked wth Ulli to verify ..

and then did a lovely post

that's it

please put your mind at ease

and, nothing for someone else is about you or to do with you, i promise, ok?

and i'm sorry for whatever it is i did that upset you ..

i hope the rest of your day is nice!

Dear Iota, I loved your birthday video very much.
It’s a keeper, and I’m going to make some of my Latino friends very happy with it when their birthday comes along.

But please, don’t read stuff into Paula’s posts that isn’t there. Your reactions to what she wrote show a lack of self censorship.

[iota]

got it .. thanks

sorry again

Now that Bill finally acted on people’s suspicions and ousted the dung heap from the entrance gate I hope we can all return to the original premise of this thread…
using the power that is in our respective here and now reality to give each other an uplift and focus on raising our consciousness.


I’m not someone who pushes for consensus.
I believe consensus happens automatically when we share our hopes and dreams, allowing one another the space they need to function in a social setting, and realize the unity without diversity becomes uniformity.

No uniforms allowed here, not even “Here and Now…What’s Happening?” t-shirts.

Here in Costa Rica they started jabbing children age 5 to 11 on Tuesday this week.
Today, Friday, already more than 30 hospitalized and one died.

Also today, a 35 year old guy jogging in the city park was found dead on the lane.

This country is proud to be the first to vax kids under 11.
President Alvarado is one of Klaus Schwab’s Young Global Leaders.
Costa Rica needs prayers, urgently.

Over here (the Flemish part of Belgium) so far already 10% of the 5 to 11 year olds have been vaccinated. And 87% of the 12-17 year olds. Can you believe it?

Hmmm....I wouldn't be quick to believe the numbers that governments post about these things. They might show a large number of people accepting the needle to make other people who are questioning it more comfortable so they accept it themselves.

Actually I can believe it. I suspect it is similar here in Germany.
My neighbour's 16 year-old has been vaccinated against her parents' advice. She said it was just too hard not to take the jab because there would be all kinds of restrictions for her if she hadn't got it. For example, if a single pupil in one of her many classes tested positive, she herself would have to stay at home for the following 2 weeks which would make it almost impossible for her to keep up with her studies. She's very ambitious and working very hard to get a good grade average in her A-levels, so she feels she cannot afford to miss any classes.
She also reckons it makes no difference whether she does it now or in 2 years, because you can't get into university anymore without it.
The pressure they are putting the kids under is unbelievable.
And then there is also the peer pressure the kids experience. She was the only unvaxxed one for a while and kept getting bullied for it.

I wonder if there is still time.
Can’t believe that this crop circle appeared nearly 20 years ago.
Never thought it was a Doug and Dave creation.

Understood.

Only we can save ourselves, but it seems too late...

Wait, I think I understood your message.

I'm distraught with all that is happening.

I think I need some sleep which is hard for me lately. By the time I get to sleep, I sleep for 3 to 4 hours and then I'm up with my thoughts.

I've been having horrible dreams for weeks now and last night was the first night that I had wonderful dreams.

I really appreciate everyone's patience with me

Much love to everyone, Chuck

Thank you Icare. I finally got to spend time with him today. He is in a nursing home for rehab. His heart has fallen back into rhythm through medication. He still has the infection but is being treated by strong antibiotics. His dementia has worsened since his fever but he has hints of his former personality peeking through. All in all he seems to be on the mend. This weekend my family and I are going to make him a fidget board with switches to flip and wheels to wind and other thing that move and make noise. He used to be very active and he seems to have nervous energy that he needs to burn. Hopefully we can come up with something that helps with this and stimulates his mind as well. I am very grateful for all of the kindness, prayers and healing that has been sent on his behalf! Thank you so much, Icare!
