Avatar not working

She’s Caribbean, remember? Perhaps there is something going on with how the image you’re trying to upload was formatted.

Man, I can’t tell, did I get the rascal image as my avatar, I loaded it directly to the site and had to reselect it, but it’s just displaying a empty image, just the shape. I am not sure I selected the right one.

This is very frustrating.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Sorry for your tech. difficulties and the ensuing frustration. Wish I could help you to the degree that you need it! :evilfun:

Its not funny, I don’t know much about computers, can’t even get a picture of garlic in my shoe online. Is it working?

That’s right; it’s not funny. I hope someone can help you, Turd.

All is never what it seems… ask, and I will tell!

Riddle me this…

Your a tranny?

No!

Caribbean ancestry is a mixed ancestry for most of us, but yet our disparate genes are confined to island life, and now I’m on another island and thinking of horizons new… Washington, as I have maternal cousins there.

No. Not Washington DC, I’m moving out there. I’m content with black balling Carleas and ostracizing him from the pan-philosophical community in the tri-state area, and getting all the tradesmen in my trade to overcharge him for any work he needs done, but don’t want to deal with two of you. Go elsewhere. I hear the Falklands are nice this time of the year. Lots of lonely military personal too, you can pick up a man fast. Lots of penguins to befriend as well if you can’t make due with the human population.

I already have my hands in Southwestern Pa, it will be easy to switch to Southeastern Pa, Maryland, and DC on the philosophy circuit there. You come here, just gonna be bad. You’ve been warned.

I like penguins, but I won’t be going to the Falklands… if I do emigrate, it will be to Washington…

Washington DC? It’s a great place to live, most socialist city in the States, with all kinds of free museums and events, and a functional-but-haggard public transportation system. And getting more bike-friendly all the time, with some nice trails just outside the city and good bike lanes on a lot of the arterial roads in town. Hot as shit in the summer, but beautiful.

Let me know when you’re here, I’ll buy the first round (you too, TF).

I don’t drink asshole.

And I know about the bike trail, the longest one leads to my neighborhood here in West Virginia. Next week I will be unofficially extending it to Steubenville, Ohio when I provide a picture guide regarding how to get around the dead end in my town to downtown Steubenville across the river… we get too many Germans here bicycling through town lost, riding down the center of the highway across the bigger bridges. Thats how roadkill begins.

They all link up in a place called Burgesstown, PA prior to making that final push to WV… and all are frustrated they only have mapwise three miles to go to be in another state.

They generally start in DC.

Please do not bicycle here. And know you will be banned eventually from all the regional philosophy meetups, cause you ban and restrict everyone here. There are repercussions in life, and all I do is philosophy and I link up with every group, and you’ll just eventually will break down crying in ten years when nobody will give you the time of day, pushing you away from every library or cafe philosophy group, and if you try to start your own, I will just tell everybody you have some horrible communicable disease. Why? Cause you always a dick to everyone else.

This is the trail by the way, it highlights all the official trails in Pa, Maryland, Virgins, etc… the red is the Montour trail, quick links up to the Panhandle Trail, which ends in a dead end with a cardboard sign saying FU put up by me. It is sudden, frustrating, no explanation.

They have a bridge from the old steelmill right there, already built in two parts, but not pit together, heavily overgrown in weeds, and no trespassing signs everywhere. It is so funny seeing people get to it staring mystified, stumped what to do… so damn close!

So I can literally bicycle and hike all the way from here to there on a trail. DC doesn’t have the monopoly here… it is a DC to My Shitty Town trail… the greatest one you have.

My bad. But same offer goes for coffee or water or soup or whatever. We can start a philosophy group.

I’ve wanted to do the trail to Pittsburg, but I’m nowhere near in shape to do that in any reasonable amount of time. Maybe someday when I get bionic legs.

Carleas, my body is literally broken, and was homeless barely able to walk. You don’t need to be in shape to do the walks or bicycling, merely able to consistently put one foot forward after another.

When I first got out of the army, I spent my first year learning how to walk two miles in a day consistently.

When I was in Cincinnati, to do so without a limp.

When I ditched everything and went homeless, I flew out to San Francisco… no sleeping bag and a rucksack full of heavy philosophy books, and barely any money, and forced myself to carry heavy weigh again, learn to walk or starve from unemployment. If I couldn’t find work, I hiked or read in the library. If I was working, I had money for the gym and still had to hike miles daily to find safe shelter in the woods. Rained constantly, loneliness constantly pushing with a rucksack to distant locations.

In Hawaii, I had jingle mountain trails, steamy sweat and weird ass bugs.

Back in the Ohio Valley, I feel after years, my body has definitely morphed… larger, people mistake my fat for muscle… can’t exactly run, but I’m able to walk no visible limp, and have memories of going much, much, much farther than I can currently manage. It is a competition against my younger, much better self, the guy who could go a triple Marathon.

It isn’t about the distance, but your ability to contemplate doing it, consider the difficulties, plan for it, and go against your better judgment and just do it. You have to be excited to see new things never expected before by you, the trill of expanding your map of the world and new experiences.

That is how you hike the length of a map.

And no, I don’t start a philosophy group with you. I have bad experience with co-running them, they never take good care of the meeting place and piss off the staff. I let almost anyone chair a meeting and enjoy saying nothing, the whole time, but I gotta be firmly in charge of the location and relations with the staff, and show up a hour in advance. Plus two people paying for advertising fees on meetup.com never works long, and Facebook never attracts people.

Even though I have alot against you, in this case, it is nothing against St you, just people in general. I see too many groups try to become too specific and crash and burn. The guy who took over The Honolulu Philosophy Group did exactly that. It doesn’t exist anymore as a result, it exists as several small groups (which is still a legacy, there was none prior to me).

I’m pretty sure I’m going to snap on half of DC, but then again I was certain I wasn’t going to fit in at San Francisco. You may not of noticed, but I’m not always the most PC or polished guy around.

If your going to bicycle, get a backpack, a nalgene bottle, waterproof army sleeping bag, and expect your trip to experience diminishing returns as you go farther on. Bike as far as you can on one day, then bust your butt getting back the next.

This bag:
ads.midwayusa.com/product/738330 … Akpn8P8HAQ

Waterproof the gortex (was issued waterproof, but is used, can’t buy new), spray it with the aerosol stuff they sell in the camping area… this way you can bicycle as far as you can, without worry, and push off into the dark off the path, lay your bike down, crawl in. You don’t need the black, just the green and the gortex shell till fall, leave the inner black at home. If it rains, it is waterproof, I’ve stayed in this bag in a swamp, and in thunderstorms and a hurricane.

If you want to go out farther, bring these two:

Water Filter for backpacking:

UV light (second step)
backcountry.com/katadyn-hike … lsrc=aw.ds

Inside your backpack, put a garbage bag, throw a few pair of balled up socks, underwear, first aid cream, for at night to heal your friction Burns if you got them.

Thats it. No need to be a bitch and say you gotta get into shape. You just do it, no excuses. The hardest part is the fear of not having endurance, or losing your chance to find a hotel, or restaurant, or water.

If you can filter particles out of water, and UV it, you got infinite water across PA. That sleeping bad is home away from home, and is practically invisible at night, just set your alarm prior to sunrise. It comes with a scrunchbag, guys have lived in them for years, they work, and designed for concealment. Fresh socks, fresh undies, your good to go. You can be in a position to complete the journey in a month to Pittsburgh, can park your bike under a greyhound and ride back if your can’t do it under three-four days and need to get back to work. We have runaway teenagers able to bicycle from the PA border to Indiana/Illinois border almost in two nights here, so I can’t see how you can’t do PA even out of shape in 3-4 Max.

Your new avatar Turd, you can thank me later.

Family recipe? Thanksgiving has to be fun when new guests show up optimistic and leave in horror.

Yes, I would say so.

Walking distance depends on mood. I can walk 5 miles in a good mood, but not 5 feet in a bad mood.

Take your high heels off, you can do better.
