Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Ernie Nemeth]

Woke up today in a haze. Felt, at first, aweful. I could not understand what was wrong with me. Got a zap last night from the master, I learned today. Feeling better now, with a death grip on my grounding stone. Was thinking about something last night of importance but I cannot remember it now.

As an update, my weapon attachment for my staff has been shelved. It is too dangerous. That thing could kill, I tested it and it was far more effective than I'd hoped. It is not my style, so the project is cancelled. The staff is repaired and painted up nice, but it will not get a weapon attachment. Besides, what I'm learning now is a far better weapon if it is ever needed for that.

My new project is a lightweight telescoping laddar I can carry around on my back along with my tools. No car is a bit of a bother, I must admit when you are in construction. Not much fun arriving on site with an overstuffed bag full of tools when every one else comes with a service truck. This job I'm doing now requires that I buy a laddar that I will then leave behind because it costs too much to transport home.

Oh well, that's my bed, I made it now I have to sleep in it. It's alright. Had I had the proper facts to base my choices on I would have chosen differently. So, given what I had to work with at the time, I chose very well, keeping my integritry intact and sacrificing my convenience and comfort instead. Quite the opposite of what most decided for themselves given the same set of lies and deciet fed to us as truth. In light of that, I am mollified.

There, I feel better already.

Ernie, keep learning what you are learning, and soon you will have your own pick-up.
A must when one carries stuff around....


like I bet this rock is heavy....some fukang rock.

Beautiful Fukang Rocks...
Can't wait to see Your Fukang Jewelry creation, Ulli!

Someone has to get this to Paul, too funny.

I only work with fukong meteorites in my imagination.
I'm just an ordinary bead stringer.

Most of you may have seen this one,
nevertheless its a good reminder of how absurd things get when a society
is allowed to develop with no proper checks and balances in place:

Paul, how do you know when someone mentions your name in one of the 60,000 threads here?
Do you have spies to inform you, or are you more psychic than you care to admit?
Anyway, I'm glad you thanked that cow joke.

[PurpleLama]

I have long suspected that Paul may actually be on the short list of people who have read this thread in its entirety, that list being you, me, and him.

I often suspect that there isn't a post that paul misses in all of Avalon.


Ealry this year, I made an attempt to read the entire H&N thread, but gave up somewhere in the 500 page range.
it was great fun though, to read a thread like this with 10 pages a day or more daily.
Better then any soap

Every year, sharks kill 10 people.

Every year, 100 people die from being stepped on by cows.

Every year thousands die and millions are sickened by drinking milk from cows who have been kept in pens, fed GMO grains and shot full of antibiotics, only to have many of the remaining nutrients in the milk destroyed by the heat and pressure of pasteurization and homogenization.

Drink the real milk - raw milk from grass fed cows.

I don't know about that Eram. Every now and then I'll successfully slip a little "naughty naughty" passed those watchful eyes. So maybe Paul *sees* them all, but doesn't actually *read* them all.

A lot of noise in the forest tonight. The creatures are out.

I'm sitting on my front porch under a dark moon listening to a chorus of frogs, crickets and coyotes howling across the forest.

It's cooler now unseasonably for mid summer -sipping a mug of hot herbal tea I made the night before the new moon to warm my bones up.


Love


Nora

Ah, perfection ... Nora's comforting word-pictures of life in a mountain forest.

Going to fix myself a cup of hot herbal tea too. It's not cold here, but we did get a gully-washer of a storm passing through that cooled it off some.

Love to the village, and especially to you, Nora. It's so good that you are back.

If there ever was a "Cow" worth erecting a statue to idolize, it surely would be for Paul in the "Here and Now". However, I'm fairly certain he'd find worshipping a golden cow in his honor plain silly--So, I'll just go with trying to keep up with acquiring the information he contributes and aspire to share it effectively to say THANK YOU!!!! And attempt my first image posting within a post on this board...

Drink the real milk - raw milk from grass fed cows.

Here's another:

If farmers fed the cows grass for the last 5-6 days before slaughter, the vast majority of the toxins, specifically parasites and viral/bugs.. would be washed out of them and the meat would be so much healthier for humans to eat, that tens of thousands less people would die from eating at and it would actually be far more healthy to eat, on average. The medical systems would save many billions of $$ per year. (10-20 billion a year)

But is not done, as it would cost the farmers about $5-10 (max) per cow to get it done. It should be mandatory, ie, forced by law.

But, if they did that, they'd be forcing the understanding that the way the cows are fed is very unhealthy. For the cow and the people.

[Calz]

Real question is how has it come to this?

Totally absurd issues regarding food sources in many countries now ... really beyond any sane excuse.

Cities cannot "afford" sending cops to shootings ... yet there seems to be no shortage of funds for those outrageous raw milk and organic food farmers ...


Does no one else here see how freakin' ridiculous this has become???
