I'm glad you liked it. I hope to talk again soon.

Most drugs probably won't make you go out and kill somebody, but they'll make you complacent at times when you could do something more productive. Sometimes, it isn't about being happy. It's about making your time on this planet worthwhile.

You've made a transition from school, where you saw the same people day after day, year after year. From this point on in life, you'll never have the same daily structure. People will move, find new jobs, get married, and be on a different schedule from each other. Right now, you're responsible for your own happiness, your own life. You have to define your traditions from now on, as you have to define your family and yourself. The old definitions aren't going to fit. Take a deep breath of freedom, Matt. You aren't bound by the past. Don't worry. Nature abhors a vacuum. This feeling will pass. You'll fill in the blanks. Roan had a Dr. Seuss quote on his profile: Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. The older you get, the more you'll have to smile about.

Try a little cinnamon in the grounds.

Vodka before 10:00 a.m.? I think not.

16 oz. of ice water with a twist, followed by 2 cups of Colombian coffee or tequila it's all good

Welcome to GA, by the way.

The most tactful way to educate someone is by example. Live a good life in plain sight. Quite often, a single voice of reason at the right moment will silence a roomful. Most people are easily led, and will follow the stronger leader.

Hi Starblind, and welcome. I hope you like it here. If you need any help, just shout. I guarantee someone will answer. rusty

After accumulating (I won't say hoarding) for years, I had a major purge a couple years ago, but I don't recommend the method. Still, there is a definite lightening of the load. Stuff is a responsibility. Gotta store it, protect it, maintain it, use it once in a while. I hope this clearing and cleaning helps shake off some cobwebs, Wayne.

There is a much older movie titled She from 1965. It sucked, too.

Grizzly Man The story of a film documentarian who lived among them and took the apparent placidity of grizzly bears so much for granted, he and his girlfriend were ultimately eaten by one. It was off-camera, but you still got the actual final screams. His whiny, simpering voice and propensity for naming the wild bears as if they were stuffed children's toys (he called one Mr. Chocolate) had me on my feet, cheering for the bear at the top of my lungs, when they started screaming.

Happy Birthday!

"Act well your part; there all the honour lies."

But if the thought changes the way one lives, it is expressed. Can't the way one lives life be an art form? Once the end result is called art, should we call the entire creative process art, or draw a line and say, "All before this is not art. All from this point forward is art."? Whatever definition is advanced, most of us are always going to make our own decisions as to what is an art form, and whether or not it's any good.

Sufficient is not always complete, nor does it necessarily convey absolute denotation or connotation. From Merriam-Webster online: [3 : an occupation requiring knowledge or skill <the art of organ building>] From the Online Etymology Dictionary: [art (n.) 13c., "skill as a result of learning or practice," from Old French art (10c.), from Latin artem (nominative ars) "work of art; practical skill; a business, craft," from PIE *ar-ti- (cognates: Sanskrit rtih "manner, mode;" Greek arti "just," artios "complete, suitable," artizein "to prepare;" Latin artus "joint;" Armenian arnam "make;" German art "manner, mode"), from root *ar- "fit together, join" (see arm (n.1)). In Middle English usually with a sense of "skill in scholarship and learning" (c.1300), especially in the seven sciences, or liberal arts.] Language is imprecise, derivative, and changeful. This is one reason why these discussions have merit.

Is art the concept or its communication? I can conceive of many things I can never express, but I'd never consider those thoughts art. Jokingly, I ask, But isn't that the essence of abstract art - that which transcends expression? And I reply, masturbation is sex.

Depends. James, what's the scale on that map?

And many more, Allen. I hope it's been a great one.

I know a lot of folks who moved there.

We does the best we can with what we gots. Just take care of yourself, be good to yourself and others, and build your life, stick by stone. You'll do fine.
