Keep 'em coming.

Thanks. I try to keep my posting informative, entertaining, supportive, or constructive. If I nail one of those, I am on the right track.

Something I've been thinking about lately. The rodent food section at supermarkets. All this processed foods, yogurt candies, fake logs of wood chips and honey, ice cream cookies, nutritional pellets... why?

My rats hate nutritional pellets. I found out why. I ate every piece of food I give them, the nutritional pellets taste the worst. They always eat the pellets last, and for good reason. They taste like crap.

Why do we give our pets crap like this? They love real food, like us. The seeds, oats, peas, corn, barley... Why give our rats or pets dairy or processed crap?

I think it may be about the money. There's profit for selling us crap just as with the rats. Insidious, and they trick us into thinking it's what we want.

Beanspud, I'm so glad somebody nailed you as Michael before I came up with the name of the fallen angel, Lucifer.

Anyway, the mods have had a collection and we're going to send you $10m. How will you spend it?

What was your favourite tv programme when you were a child?

If you became famous for something, what would you like that "something" to be?

I'm with you, brother. I make 80% of the food we feed our dogs. We do give them TOTW dry as a components. Pretty good from what we can tell (but who really knows?)

There is a list on Wikipedia that makes Lucifer sound almost normal.

Pay my capital gains tax, or whatever other tax I am required to pay for having received the money. Get a nice little sailboat geared up, spend this coming summer in the Caribbean then take the gulf stream up to visit you generous mods in the UK. Figure out some way to bring awareness to AR issues during this voyage. I will buy a common Dutch commuter bicycle and cycle all over Utrecht and Amsterdam once arriving in NL. Visit Germany, France, Spain, and UK at a minimum.

Once I get back to US, I will fund the rest of my education and make sure my family has what they need. I will organize a media campaign for a free spay and neuter service I will have funded.

Adult Swim, which included; cowboy bebop, outlaw star, and other anime I can't remember at the moment.

Having my own ideas, literature, and lifestyle that resonated with people even though some might consider them wrong or controversial. Somebody in an position of power has always had it in for anyone attempting to make a substantial change. I hope I come to know humans well enough to resonate with a large segment of them.

What is your astrology sign?
Would you rather go back in time? Or way ahead in to the future?
What was one of the happiest day in your life you can remember?

Sagittarius, I generally dislike astrology. To base success of relationships on birth dates alone seems a little silly.

Way ahead. Although there have been points in time there have been nothing more I wanted to go back and change things, dwelling on these things are draining. The future holds true potential, I am eager to see how far we will come.

My mother taking me surfing.

Rapid eye movement, ah how I love sleep. The band is OK too.

Bermuda rig. As far as the rigging itself, as long as it's not frayed or rusty I'm OK with it. I have heard an interesting phrase though, 'rust is the poor mans Loctite'. I don't think that applies to rigging.

If you have any more, feel free to ask. I hope I didn't offend with my opinion on astrology. I had a look at your star report already, you sound like quite the cook.

 

[lavender phase]

Thank you I am relatively new to cooking!

and by no means did you offend me ....

Would you rather scale a mountain or white water rafting?

Parasailing or parachuting?

Scale a mountain. I already went white water rafting

. I also went white water kayaking on the Natahala, that was intense. Fell of the sit on top kayak at least a dozen times. So cold.

Parasailing. I see people do this and it looks pretty fun. Parachuting involves some pretty rough landings from what little I understand of it, I'd like to keep my knees injury free.

You should have chosen a more obscure angel name. Like something from esoteric Gnostic or Druze scripture. You totally could have had us stumped indefinitely. ^_^

Do you believe in anything typically regarded as 'supernatural'?

I considered saints, man are there a bunch of saints.
Quote:

No. I believe everything can be explained scientifically, and everything obeys physical law.

Giving too much credit to supernatural phenomena or ability may make one vulnerable to cults, tricksters, hustlers, abusers, and incorrect conclusions. The witch accusers ate ergot in Salem. Ching Hai sneaks sandwiches.

I have read many horror stories of families seduced by cults and religions, the most unfortunate victims being the children. I was taught to be respectful of others religions, but where I should draw the line I am unsure. There is too much abuse occurring behind the name of religion, for what better shield for abusers to hide behind.

It may be easy to fool people, but it doesn't make it right.

What's the best surprise you've ever had?

Do you think levitation will become a practical technology in the near future?

What is your earliest memory?

 

[beanspud]

Yay, more questions.

That I could live without any substances and be functional. No nicotine, alcohol, drugs, or caffeine. I went about a year where virtually the only substances I used was caffeine from green tea and ibuprofin. The fact that I gained the ability to live comfortably without tobacco surprised me, and is something I am grateful for.
Quote:

Yes, I imagine some segway like device that may enable users to float around. Kind of like the hoover board in Back to the Future. I hope we don't loose our passion for moving in a more active way, like the folks in the Wall-E movie.

Driving a plastic steering wheel toy. I had fun.

Yeah, well, like I always say, fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice? Well, hey, it's me! Where's the challenge? ?
