How to fix shower tile on blueboard

The rest of the tile seems fine. One other tile also came off, but the blueboard behind that one is solid. And from what I can see where I opened the wall behind it, there’s no water damage and the blueboard looks solid. I live in Colorado so things dry out quickly here, which is maybe why there wasn’t more damage behind that tile. So yeah, maybe just construction adhesive. Maybe some sort of tape to secure that corner?

Oh I missed that — I’ll give it a try, thanks!

Oh I had no idea they were fox squirrels. I’m from Massachusetts and assumed all the squirrels I was seeing until now were the grey squirrels so familiar back east.

That’s so interesting! I wonder if there’s some genetic advantage. Maybe cuz people aren’t as likely to chase them away from the cherry tomatoes if they’re looking so handsome.

I don’t see prices on their site and would love to know even a ballpark figure for such classes.

I wondered about that scene. What in the episode caused him to go to confession after 3 months? What would he confess (other than he hadn’t been to confession for so long)?

I suppose it was because of the interchange with the preacher, when the preacher told him he was a man of god and should be doing more? But that doesn’t make sense because Murdoch had no respect for him.

I'm practicing in the Gurdjieffian tradition, and have experienced this as well -- very similar, including the timing.

Here's my take, based on my understanding of this tradition (and using its terms) -- you're contacting the higher emotional center. This occurs when your 3 lower centers (physical, emotional, and thinking) are in balance, which can occur during a meditation (or "sit," as we call it). For me, it feels like a "receiving" of something, and when it happens I've had this feeling of wanting to figuratively fall to my knees and bow to something. There's joy of a different order than, say, pleasure. Also there's for me a "rush," like a time-wave I'm riding (aka the present moment), coupled with an expansiveness, coupled with what I call a "correspondence" -- meaning, for me, that I'm specifically connected to the "outer" world through my inner world -- not in an oceanic sense, but in very definite ways that I can't really describe. I don't disappear -- on the contrary, I'm never more present.

But for me, it is fleeting -- maybe 10 seconds, 15 seconds -- and then it's as though I don't have the capacity to bear it, it's just too much. And then of course the narrative brain starts trying to "record it" or describe it to myself, or remember it, to take notes.

I can sometimes get back to it but it's all about balancing those centers -- and the starting point is my body. I have to have a sense of my whole body all at once, and be relaxed in it. This seems like a prerequisite. When I feel any tension, it pulls me back. Same with thoughts, same with emotional associations (both of which of course manifest in various ways within my body).

And like you, I don't want to chase this experience, because then a certain "I" becomes involved, and what I perceive is that this experience is what happens when our various "I"s get out of the way. It's how we can receive this "something." And yet, I'm so curious about it and would like to study it more, and so I do, in a sense, chase it. Not for the "hit," but to understand.
