    A little AOA Forums nostalgia

    It's easy to see why Daniel racked up so many thousands of posts at AOA. The thing is that they were substantive. Unlike thousands of mine. Oh, the embarrassment!

    On acquiring your first copy of the I-Ching

    Amazing, I obviously greatly misunderstood your post. Sorry I didn't pick up the clue phone--my ears aren't improving with ancientness. Remember the Dave Clark Five's "Glad all Over?" When my family lived just outside of WA DC I listened to a small transistor radio that tuned in NY, Boston and...

    The Lipton's with only very small noodles wasn't bad. On a cold day it hit the spot.

    On acquiring your first copy of the I-Ching

    I haven't watched tv for years. Amazing how stale those old commercials were. If you play it through to the end two new Youtube possibilities come up. I chose the four minute Bill Murray one. The staged heckler looks a bit like the kid in the soup commercial, but he's older. Go Finger Lakes...

    A sentence that can be taken many different ways. And not all of them good. Sigh.

    All you ever knew, I doubt that would fit on any shelf. Well, any less than any library sized shelf.

    "Express yourself," a long ago song from perhaps the late Seventies? Happy New Year!

    Shazam, it is wonderful to read how kindness to others as well as kindness to yourself will help stop the cycle of self punishment that comes too easily to me. I try to be as kind as possible to others but have only lately realized how fine grained this kindness must be. Thank you very much Dan...

    Merry Christmas Everyone

    Said more elegantly and less vituperatively than I could. Those alarm bells are shaking me up, it's almost as if only a horrific fantasy could be so upsetting. But lo, it has come to pass. Perhaps the chickens that are so overdue have come home to roost. It bites that as always, the man in the...

    Snow in Arizona? Sure, at high elevations, but... Glad you had snow to play with, booman and clan! Brr, eight degrees. Then sixty close behind. Kwazy weather to be sure, but I think that crazy weather will be the norm from now on. Thank you humanity! And that includes me.

    I don't understand why punishing myself seems mandatory most of the time. Was I really that bad to others? Maybe so, but I hope not. We're all capable of cruelty, it would be nice if we can stop being cruel to ourselves. Tall order in my case, but the trouble is that suffering does NOT "lay up...

    "It's in our giving that we receive the most." Very good sentence, that!

    Another fine? TBH, I'm "fining" as in "paining" myself plenty as we speak. In a manner of speaking.
