Glad to hear it and will do!

Peace, my friend

Nice, i’ll have to check those out. Lately, i’ve been spending more time with Buddha. When you boil it down, it’s largely all the same anyways…

lol..you’re manners are just fine. i always enjoy adding to my ever-growing pile of interesting things to research and learn

That one gets a bit trickier. But, in my own experience, one can certainly change how they let things affect them.

Oh I’ll have to check that one out, thanks! The book that I found most useful didn’t even make the cut, Gospel of Thomas

Then remember than neither exist and do what you need to do to enjoy the present.

Only my early attempts at creating my own agents early on. But, that wasn’t sustainable because it used the API and ate up my money too lol

I haven’t re-read those lately enough to point out more. Other than big changes such as saying man/woman were equal early on, then women were lesser later on, Saul’s change was obvious when he picked up saying “yea” after just about everything and then dropping it later.

Agreed. That Saul/Paul dude gets it right in at least one of his first letters to the churches before becoming clearly unhinged and a totally different person through the rest of them.

For sure! I’d love to see those fuckwads get a visit from the secret service

Yep! And they have the whore of babylon making everyone weep and mourn as no one buyeth her merchandise anymore

Agreed, it is man elevating themselves to the level of God by developing their own morality.

I started college in 1993 and got on Usenet just in time for the tail end of the good ol’ days. Been the story of my life with everything since… pensions, free healthcare with a job, having a job for life…

Yes, it is ironic that Jesus taught love and forgiveness (empathy) yet those of us that practice such things are considered “evil” by the people that pretend they are his followers. Even better that such happenings are foreshadowed at the end of their own book that they largely don’t read lol

Yeah, in the Old Testament God goes on and on about his love for inhaling burnt offerings and we’re all made in his image. So…

You’re welcome! I tried to give you a toe bean action shot but it won’t let me upload a GIF 😹

you’re welcome! Here’s a bonus action shot for you 😹

Or they “tip” with that fake Christian money

To be fair, I do that when I see puffins too

Despite his girth, he was only 7 months old in that picture, and we had had him indoors for 2 months by then. I can massage his toes, belly, and play with his tail to my heart’s content. I’ve probably been able to since about his second week in the house (first week was quarantine and neutering).

His mom knew he wasn’t going to cut it in the wild and left him with us as he was the only one from his litter always looking in our windows trying to figure us out🤣 edit: and to answer the actual question, about 6 months!

Nice! Yeah, he’s a loving goofball
