I'm wondering what groundhog tastes like.


And I see there's only a few more days of the low, low $1 offer to join Piano Street's gold membership.  Why that's so low, Nils is almost giving it away!  Ends Feb 6th (I think) so you better hurry....

Im really glad you dont need a surgery! :) (even though i dont really know what kind of surgery that is :) ).
But you know you have to be really really very careful if you're riding a bike in the street where there's a lot of cars because its VERY very dangerous! And my best freinds mum died because she got hit by a truck when she was riding a bike and it was really horrible  :( And the driver didnt even see her for some time. Because the drivers in those large trucks don't even see you if you're too close to them or somewhere at the side. Am afraid of those huge trucks and Im afraid to drive a bike in the street, but its cool where there are no cars :)  8)

Yes I know, but I have a lot of experience at biking. And I love it. I have been riding twice from here to your country :) And in one summer (I think it was 2004) I made more km in France than the Tour de France  8) But at the moment I'm horribly out of shape  :P

Just found out some news that makes me feel that life is so very precious.  It helps me realize how important it is to know what love is, both in accepting it from others and in feeling it and expressing it for others.  I just feel very grateful right now for how genuineness can be expressed even through something like an internet forum, and I feel grateful for the friendships I feel I have made here.  It's such a strange thing to look out my window and see the amazingly blue sky and the puffy clouds which have that outline of sunshine, and at the same time inwardly know that there are seemingly such deep mysteries to these gifts.  Sometimes I just wish I could wrap all of life inside of my arms and cradle humanity.

I hope that each of you are blessed and feel blessed.

All you have to do is reduce your beer consumption and modify your diet for a short while and all sorts of things that might now seem unlikely might enter the realms of the perfectly possible; I'm not suggesting or even recommending that you do this, but...

Thank you, however, it was not happy news.  It is just that, I guess sometimes the hard stuff can remind us how important the rest of it all can be.  I will admit though, it was strange to think about what you said in relation to the situation ... I mean, it made me think a bit.  Obviously it's a good thing to feel that one's life and experience with living is fulfilling, and it's a good thing to be shaken awake a bit, isn't it ?  I mean, it's good to be awake, really, to needing to live more of one's life.  It is so easy to take things for granted.

Presuming you to be responding to my mention of beer, maybe you don't and maybe (by some standards) it isn't; in the present context, however, much would presumably depend upon the extent to which you feel that the ability of K to embrace you might be of importance to you. That said, 10 millilitres of beer a decade would be well and truly excessive for me...

Best either to keep the two separate or not to do so - the choice is yours (or anyone else's).

Oooops, I hope I wasn't too abrasive to Thal.  Sorry, Thal.  I kind of thought you were kidding, actually, but just in case you weren't ... it's strange because, though there are times when I definitely have to separate out my emotions from logic, I guess I don't necessarily see this as the same as separating out my heart from my head.  Ultimately, I think there is very little separation between head and heart, actually, or if there is, they create something together when working in harmony that neither one could be on its own.  That's what I want, that togetherness and that harmony that comes when they are in some kind of perfect blend !

I guess I find that, when it seems that they are at odds with one another, it's actually because I am trying to separate them out and treat them as separate aspects of myself, or somehow ignoring what they are when they are harmoniously working together.  It's as though the harmony is always there and always possible, and the only seeming discord is not a thing in itself, but rather a result of isolating one from the other, when they belong together to form the harmony.  I don't think the two really have to duke it out to find harmony and compromise, it's something different.  If they seem to be at odds, it's more because they just need to hug :) ... hee hee.
