What are you doing? (Part 1)

Giant balls and their bearers formed this prosperous country. Persecuted European Pilgrims went head on against the odds across a huge ocean on crap ships with dwindling supplies and no clue as to what was on the horizon but hard work to set up shop and colonize a completely foreign and hostile land. That takes insane guts and self-initiative that doesn’t quit! Then to top it off once many communities were set up working as a unified European force, they repelled the British tyranny and created an intelligent constitution of checks and balances to manage their own newly formed democratic government with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in mind. Today’s greatness is that same fighting spirit against globalistic tyranny now though and to maintain a thriving country with its original intent and European peoples intact. Those are some of my highlights of greatness. I am so proud of my forefathers for the blood, sweat, and tears that they invested in American soil to set up a system that was able to flourish and shape many successful aspects (infrastructure, industry, technology, economics, government, foreign aid) the world over and it was all accomplished in a few hundred years.

Chillin’

Get toasted, quit ya day job

good advice

…fuelling up on protein, by way of a chicken casserole I just made and had a bowl of.

…trying to settle on an outfit to wear to this Saturday’s arty-party event… the event email update sent today, letting attendees know that Ross from Friends will be doing a DJ set. =D>
I will be trying on outfits, head-dresses, and hats later on before bed :laughing:

…thinking about hoovering and mopping the ground floor area, but I don’t want to get wiped out… do I look at dirt, or do I suffer not looking at dirt through tired eyes and mind.

…snacking on GMO-free cob-popped popcorn and home-made red.

Outfit for Saturday… nearly sorted.

Boy, popcorn sounds good. :smiley: Must check if I have any kettle corn.

Saturday was disappointing, but at least I got out and stretched my legs.

What’s kettle corn Wendy? something similar to tortilla chips?

Fondly recollecting this years sweet corn crop…so tender and wonderous.

No, it’s a flavor of popcorn. Kettle corn is coated in butter and sugar flavoring so you get the savory element of both in every popped corn kernel.

Thanathots, there are better places to post racist memes and things you copy from the internet. I would respectfully ask that you just do your nazi stuff in another thread. This is a thread about what you’re doing. So posting racist pics is off topic. I commend you for being so creative as to manage to be off topic in a thread that is designed to cover almost any topic. However, your post is lazy, doesn’t even give an idea as to what you’re doing, contains no real text to speak of, and can serve little purpose other than to inflame other members based on racial ground or to demonstrate that you’re identifying yourself as whatever one is identified as who posts such things. It’s just divisive and not in a good way that facilitates a mature exchange of ideas. If you just don’t like Jewish people, then maybe start a thread about things that you don’t like and go at it there. This thread is for talking about what you’re doing.

Ahhh… our version of kettle corn is Butterkist, but its popularity has waned over the years, in favour of the current healthier more-natural options out there.

…I am currently channeling narcolepsy and napping in front of the TV.

10,774 posts later and no one has even come close to topping this:

I’m sitting on my couch, watching a video of the alabama/lsu game while smoking a bong and waiting for chinese food to be delivered. I was thinking of getting someone over here to clean the place. This is usually what I’m doing, I’ve seen this game about 130-140 times now.
Or I’m in the bathroom someplace, bored and using my phone to post on message boards while I poop.

He purred in jest. :wink:

Catching up on nearly 4 weeks worth of posts… family and political matters having kept me solely occupied.

Traders… the new Merchants of old, and we know how most of society feels about a Trader.

Yes, trade routes and traders/merchants played a key role in spread and evolution of ideas, and even influencing the course of history. It appears that the spread of phonetic alphabet was done by maritime merchants: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet

Phonecians also remind me of the Venetian maritime Republic. It was a maritime trade-based state, but also had quite formidable military (and is known as the place of the first assembly line…sorry Ford).

I met a guy who specialises in Naval History… I’m not sure what era, if any. but we didn’t talk about that… we/the small gathering talked about med-tech inventing, drug-testing tech at airports, common philosophy topics on forums, penny farthings, and who invented gears…

The links were very informative… and in them, the beginnings of the Muslim/Christian divide… evident, and so began the crusades… a burden the whole planet bears to this day and is left to resolve.

On similarities between the decline and fall of Roman Empire and the modern West.

Interesting comparison, though today we also have an important factor of increasing globalization through digital communications (increasing global culture).

…deciding to give anything I need to eat or drink with antihistamine a break. Slim but bloated (tummy) is not a good look :neutral_face:

Alabama beat LSU again Saturday. They’ve beaten them every year since I made this thread.

Tidying up my pad, starting with the lounge… the landings and stairs are next on my hit-list… sisal flooring for the landings, and white floor paint and stair treads for the stairs.

You really didn’t want to see the before, but here is the after…

Ready for the party season…
