Belated happy birthday wishes, EN  :)

On my mind is that this section ordinarily a frequented one, has not had a posting for two days.

Another thing on my mind is that we have not heard from Books and Cats for quite a while, She has over the long term tried to keep up some interest in the book reading section. We drone types have failed to support her admirable efforts.

Sandra, if you are out there, I appreciate your noble quest.  :sadwave:

Thanks for the good wishes.  I, too, miss Books, Cats.

The Asmo hath survived a very deadly, highly contagious and utterly miserable case of cold.

...He's still a bit whiney about the unfairness of it all though.

On the positive side, if the central heating was, then it would at the rate of about what..? A pound per liter?

Europe totally needs more nuclear power plants.

I'm pretty sure most of another Ukrainian power plant could well be blowing this way before too long.

Then we can all be cold, but with a healthy glow-in-the-dark look. The Asmo... Approves. Partly. He dislikes cold. He does like glowing things though.

On my mind?  There is this.  I like this place. It has become important to me.  I like the people who contribute whether I agree or disagree.   

Here it is October 23...It is Sunday,about 9 PM and there has been almost no activity on this forum.  Are you guys and girls all in church or something ?

 Could we attract some new participants from programs such as FFRF.  I sure do miss, Sandy, Pasta Chick, BP, Claire, Silver and the others who have come and gone. Harmonie where are you? Buddy are you out there? Where is our Cypriot friend? The young French lad?  We even had a Russian gentleman who came here a time or two.

I agree with you, Icarus, that it would be nice to have some new members here. Although I haven't been very active lately, I do check in every day when I wake up to see what's new at HAF. The rest of the day I just stay connected in the background while doing other design-related stuff on my desktop PC. Solving the engineering details of the new life size sculpture (called the Bird Feeder) I am working on, help to distract me from disturbing events in the world out there.

Fresh meat would be good!  ;D  I've been busy repairing the damage that our renters left at the rental house and getting it ready for sale. I'm old enough now that a lot of the work that I used to do has to be hired. I have, however, been cleaning and painting the place. I've been so busy with this that I haven't really had an opportunity to rewire the garage so that I can use my new table saw that I bought in April. I sold my old table saw and haven't cut any wood in many months. Meanwhile, my wife is doing all her quilting in a room dedicated to solely that. >:(

Assertiveness training...stat! I'm at a point where I'm going to tell her that she's going to have to do that shit all by herself, as I'm feeling a bit used, at this point. It's about 90% me Vs 10% her for this effort.

If we are to get new members our existing members need to ask their friends/family to join in. We also need to put links to the forum in appropriate places.

we should off a porno board. that appears to be very popular on the net.

i could offer some of my own self portraits, but i suspect my audience would be somewhat limited

This.

It's too general to attract a bubble-seeking audience, and too bubbly to attract the general audience. I have been pondering ways of re-entering the realms of public relevance, and perhaps there are some which do not involve large, well-rounded breasts. Thing is though, in the current discourse climate, who would we attract? One of the vocal minorities? The apathetic majority? The French?

...So my mom's seriously ill and tomorrow, the doctors are going to start what I understand to be a last, desperate attempt at achieving any sort of favourable outcome - which in itself may result in death. Gets a person in a solemnly contemplative mood, it does. Of course, one could argue that that is my default mood to begin with, but still... Here it is. The circle of life in all its glory, in god's just universe - where those who want more life and have something worth living for die before they ever get enough, while those who have long since gone from drive to inertia trudge on and on because what else is there? And so, the generations come and go. The great events, once fresh in our collective memory fade away with the fading minds and bodies of those last people to live through them, then the last people to personally have known them... So forth.

Some set their footprints in stone, of sorts; this old power substation from the 1920s or that veteran car - its owner's pride and joy... None of those who designed and built it are with us today, but the signs of their passing remain, until eventually, even most monuments to the individual lives come and gone seize up their gears or turn to dust - imperceptibly, at first, but with the same result. Some are even helped along. The Buddhas of Bamiyan have stood the test of time - but not of blind faith. Just one example in a sea of examples and in the end, it all comes down to this - a legacy not yet forgotten, and a fitting conclusion to a mildly depressed Asmo's musings;
