That is a great movie, isn't it? I mentioned it a bit further down thread.

Thank you for being honest.

Oh, fantastic! It looks wonderful, as well as your book. I will have to read more.

If the attentions are totally unwanted, uninvited, and un-reciprocated, he may just be a creeper. ;>)

This is tone of the things I was thinking of, "The Secret of Roan Inish".

I think the trend is to have the beau fuck both of your parents in front of you, while you watch. Some people like to also get it from behind while they are watching their parents getting fucked - you know, to feel more involved in the whole process.

"The Lord works in mysterious ways"

It sounds like we all have been/are getting "fucked over" in one way another. By doctors and others ignoring our pain, by biases, stereotypes, etc. etc.

NALOXONE SAVES LIVES.

Perfect - the dojo, kata's, etc. They help ground you, like the fiction. Too much Philosophy is *not* a good thing. ;>)

Just FYI, if my summary above is too glib or convoluted to follow:

Wow, I am truly impressed! Congratulations on the Math side also!! I think that is a good choice. I never made it past a graduate course in Mathematical Logic though.

Me three! Do you mean we have all - sort of, kind of - **survived** Philosophy? The walking wounded among you!

Swimming!
