@ProudMary Yeah, she was a very sweet lady & I wish she was still here so we could give her support. She seemed to be getting stronger & then was cruelly attacked by an asshole (no better, but many worse words for him) & it chased her away. I am very anti-censorship, but there is not only a time & a place, but trolling & harassing don't count! & this group, especially, should be a safe haven!

phxbillcee replies on Nov 25, 2018:

@Twisted185 I would explain that to me, a very "out there" individual, being visible but still genial, helpful & kind, am a real human being & a real person, & if you have the personality to pull it off, go for it! It's liberating & exhilarating! If not, baby steps. I have always taken life in big bites, & have "suffered" for it at times (prison, hospitalization, being my family's black sheep), but I have lived life as fully as I could.

@LetzGetReal I have, which is why I show videos like this, & none for woo. There is NO scientific evidence for the efficacy of homeopathy beyond the placebo effect &, that often, the practitioners spend a LOT more time with their 'patients' than a real doctor can or will. Granted, much science can be counter-intuitive, but the idea that water has "memory", or that diluting a substance so much that it is not even present anymore yet still has efficacy, well, I just can't "swallow" that!

Leafhead comments on Nov 24, 2018:

My question for any docs out there: How does the drug Abilify affect region of the hypothalamus responsible for sleep? I am having one FUCK of a time withdrawing, with chronic insomnia, and worst yet, a movement disorder that resembles severe, body wide nocturnal RLS. I followed my doc's advice ...

phxbillcee replies on Nov 24, 2018:

@Leafhead P.S. I got a serious case of RLS weaning off of pain meds, not at all fun as they tend to hit when you are at your most exhausted & just getting relaxed enough to sleep. Miserable!

@Leafhead Also, talk to your doctor, if nothing else than to get the recommended method for tapering off safely. Good luck!

Woo it may be, but I personally am very appreciative of orgone energy - because without it, we wouldn't have Kate Bush's *Cloudbusting* :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pllRW9wETzw

Tho I do like this song/video I put it right up there with LOTR or The Wizard of Oz, either of which could have been used as semi-themes just as well. But, I guess I get your point.

Leafhead comments on Nov 24, 2018:

I like Neil. He speaks to the common man and puts things in their proper perspective. He'd be a damn good teacher and even educational leader. He would connect well. And he nailed our anthropomorphic view of Aliens right on the head!! Down with Spock! Long live The Blob! LOL. Comparing Earth ...

phxbillcee replies on Nov 24, 2018:

I actually really like Dawkins, too. Has some great educational content available & I don't think really lives up to the "crusty" label he's been tarred with. In many 'talks' with theists he's been much more patient & polite than I would be!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X1iwLqM2t0

I trade in horse tail hair (for violin bows). Everything is in kilograms, so I've gotten pretty good at making calculations based in metric
