Cow, I will have to meditate on the Japanese plastic spaghetti strainer. Seems I recall a story, about a man who declared his religious beliefs involved the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the metal strainer was a part of his religions symbol. To be worn on his head. And he won!

I always loved reading wacky lawsuits and who prevailed and the reasoning.

I'm deeply under water with my personal tsunami. Can't swim fast enough.

But I agree its sounds like something Robby would send. The Cosmic joke.

I have a quote I really loved from "Shantaram". "If Fate doesn't make you laugh, you don't get the joke."

A lot like Rule 62 in AA. "don't take yourself so seriously".

Which I guess Cow is telling.us with her comment of "getting over" herself.

It's a whole different place than not giving any more Ducks. I have run out of ducks to give.

And I started to laugh again.

Love from Lenina

Am I making any sense at all?

It makes sense to me, but that may just mean that I'm cray :-)

What is your personal tsunami, Lenina? If you don't want to discuss it, just ignore me x

I know I'm late to the party, as always, but on the topic of sports I want to chime in. My daughter started playing ice hockey. I saw how much fun she was having and at the ripe old age of 50+++ I started. I'd never played as a kid.

It is really a blast. Not at all as dangerous as it looks but like a million times harder. I played for two years before I got my first goal. Still every minute was fun.

Dee, I had a suspicion you'd know this!

Lots of stuff at my jobs. Changes, we all hate changes.

I always heard "seriously" because I probably needed to hear it that way.

Love from Lenina

yes, it is 'seriously' for the rule 62 thing.
the 'don't take yourself so personally' comes from a buddhist bent

No way. Ain't gonna happen.

O.m.g. Over the last week I've developed a new and serious addiciton - mixed martial arts. It started with Ronda Rousey getting her ass kicked by The Preacher's Daughter (Holly Holm), since then I've been on a binge fest and can't get enough. I'm sick. I need help. Over and out.

Even so, I still think of Cow and the gang and keep checking in :-D I think sometimes Cows go to ground. I know that feeling. Love you Cow, and everyone xxxx

Everything has it time, Trach. Maybe this run it course. Is not a bad thing. Not make me sing "Turn Turn Turn." Trust me, NOBODY want that.

I not mean to be neglecting community. I just been extremely depress. Not wishing to interact with other human cuz what is point, I got nothing to offer.

Is anybody ever take LDN? (Low Dose Naltrexone) We considering that for me. Of course, I scare of all that stuff with my tiny fragile brain.

How is you all going?

If you ever say that again I will hunt you down and shower you with hugs and kisses until you cry with relief. You know I love you. You can always PM me. Don't suffer alone.

I managed to not kill a coworker today. Wanted to. Didn't.

I haven't, Cow, no, but I've heard good things about it. I think it's worth a shot and quit if there is any sign of trouble. Does the doctor have any guess as to whether you would be able to tolerate it?

Breaking news for me....half my back molar broke off a few days ago and lacerated my tongue to shreds. I now have an ulcer that hurts like hell. That's about it :-)

Sorry Shabs, that sound painful. I will probable try the LDN, for lack of any other thing left I can do.

Trach, I would maybe take some hugs. No hugs in long time. Was little depressing during my procedures to be just dropped off in parking lot at hospital and then pick up later and dump at home. I mean, I grateful for rides and all, but everybody else have a "somebody" to keep them company before they go back into surgery room, you know? But that not why I depress, is just the brain, it FUBAR.

Why you want to kills coworker? Would not that mean you just has more work to do?

I would find that depressing too, Cow. That sucks :-/

If you change your mind, Trach, may I suggest a high kick to the head? It was very effective for Holly Holm :-)

Note: The above is a (lame) joke.
