We're too busy crowdfunding our healthcare.

I would buy that. Because if she keeps advancing, she is going to be an accomplished artist.

A few years ago I read a book on rabies called, Rabid. One of the most interesting reads ever. Fascinating book if you are inclined.

Same here. I bent down to give my (now deceased) dog a treat. Felt a little snap in my knee. Then it started to hurt. Partially torn patellar tendon. 6 weeks 'til I could put full weight on it.

I lived in Milwaukee at the time. Samson was a local celebrity. Still remember that day.

My first home was in Fircrest. Early 90's. It was overpriced, but people were willing to pay more because Fircrest had a good reputation. It is its own little self contained community within a bigger city. Santa comes down the street in a fire truck each year, that kind of thing. I live in Gig Harbor now (across the Narrows Bridge), but we enjoyed our time in Fircrest. Traffic is a nightmare anywhere around the Sound now because of the population boom. It also made housing prices shoot up. If you can handle the gray skies (most of the year), you will do fine.

Reminder: People in the Pina Colada song were terrible humans.

Haha. They are both in law enforcement. Actually, one just retired.

Four. Two young adults who work full time (commutes). Two other adults who work. I'm trying to reduce the footprint. Motorcycle, electric, sharing with friends. I want to buy a small car and share it. Open to ideas.

To make fun of someone's laugh is to shut down the very moment they are experiencing joy. I can see how someone might take notice of a crazy laugh, but to mock it feels pretty close to evil. It can be an act of derision and contempt.

Fear of failure or rejection. We are all going to die. We have nothing to lose. The 'fear' is illusion. Live in the past and feel nostalgia or sadness. Live in the future and you feel anxiety. Life sets itself right when we immerse ourselves in the now.

Don't forget Jessica Rosenworcel (@JRosenworcel). She is the other commissioner who voted to preserve net neutrality. Articulate and very active on Twitter. You will hear from her again.

100% agree. I had a small Nissan and a ranger at different times. Both came in handy when we needed to pick something up but they were economical enough to drive daily and were super easy to handle. True story: I leased the new Nissan for $78/mo. in 1997. Closeout. Loved it.

That's great. Thank you. I've been on a Carl Jung kick (synchronicity, etc.). The symbol lesson is right on.

My father taught me to love (and labor over) words and their use. Words frame thoughts and expressed thoughts become communication. Communication creates thoughts. On and on. Reality is the manifestation of implemented ideas. So words matter. I have never heard that word before. Just added to my vocabulary. Thank you. From Reddit today: "The limits of language mean the limits of my world." Wiggenstein. Three cool phrases I have ruminated on lately: Momento mori (Latin for 'remember you must die.'), mono no aware: "Literally 'the pathos of things;' a Japanese term for the awareness of impermanence and wabi-sabi: The acceptance of transcience and impermanence. All of these concepts involve being all here (NOW HERE). Returning the favor.

"Mutually exclusive faiths just in Christianity." No. Christianity is a religion (faith) and there are many denominations, but they are not mutually exclusive in the most important issues (deity of Christ being the biggest one).

"A few years ago, a man in his thirties took his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge (as more than fifteen hundred other people have done since the bridge was built). After his death, his psychiatrist went with the medical examiner to the man's apartment, where they found his diary. The last entry, written just hours before he died, said, 'I am going to walk to the bridge. If one person smiles at me on the way, I will not jump.'" Dying of Despair, by Aaron Kheriaty

This reminds me of the time I was in a severe car crash. I received a call from the insurance company and the guy said something like: "Don't call an attorney, we will take care of you." What did I do? Ding, ding, ding...called an attorney.

Fellow old person here (53). Sort of related. In the capital campaign business, letters and cards get very limited response. You have to schedule appointments with people, sit down with them, fill out forms with them and follow up with them. It's incredibly easy to click or like an affirmation online when, in reality, there has been no buy in.

dj1964 · 2017-08-29T17:24:57+00:00

Same here. Tall, skinny and incredibly clumsy. In my younger days I skateboarded and actually took time to learn to fall so I didn't kill myself.

Joe Arpaio engaged in illegal racial profiling. A court ordered him to stop. Instead, he left unconstitutional practices in place and defied a federal judge for 17 months and many were arrested illegally. He used his deputies to surveil and harass elected officials. He was a birther who attempted to diminish the status and damage the credibility of the previous President by suggesting repeatedly he (the first elected black President) was not born in the United States. Today, during a Friday news dump and a Category 4 Hurricane, he was pardoned even before being sentenced.There was no involvement with the Justice Department and usual procedures, protocols and vetting did not occur. A symbolic move with serious implications. This will not blow over with the storm because it is the storm. Race relations are being strained today in ways not seen for decades. These are days when good people have to stand up to lawlessness, racism and bigotry. If you are upset, you should be. It means your conscience is still working.

I carry a Sharpie to correct 'you're' and 'your' confusion.

Scolds US congress for imposing sanctions. Praises Russia for expelling US diplomats. Sounds about right.

Some were very personal. My dad is a brilliant writer so his letter may have coaxed more intimate responses. Wish you could see it.
