Well, I know there is better stuff, but I don't like to take it. |
Allister « Wed Sep 01, 2010 5:06 »
Once I took Morphine, I didn't like it. |
Allister « Wed Sep 01, 2010 5:06 »
I took tylenol with codene when I hurt myself in the past, but it's been decades. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 31, 2010 22:29 »
I never ever take painkillers, but a week ago I started with it. I always thought I could endure any pain, but this pain was just too much. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 31, 2010 22:25 »
Maybe these Tibetan monks can control their pain. But what else do these guys do during their life? They take all the time they think they need for their psychological problems. Do they have to care for family, friends or collegues? No. They are absorbed in their own psyche, their own little world they can control. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 31, 2010 22:15 »
Shooting everyone who made too much noise. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 31, 2010 22:15 »
If the pain was my 'guide'm I would be a serial killer. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 31, 2010 22:14 »
Yeah, let the pain be your guide, That's the bull we hear from socalled Tibetan monks. Now watch them when THEY are in pain. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 31, 2010 22:13 »
Shawn, I took really heavy painkillers. It works.. for a while. Then I got the treatment, I assumed that was it, no more pain. Well, I hadn;t for several hours, but it came back with a vengence. Likeing liquor can have its advantages, lol |
ZZZZZ Continued « Tue Aug 31, 2010 22:12 »
You shouldn’t take anything for the pain. Let the pain be your guide. |
roadrash « Tue Aug 31, 2010 21:53 »
Well, finally a + side to being 80...no more real teeth! |
Shawn Arendo « Tue Aug 31, 2010 21:45 »
pain subsiding now... after 24 hours.......... |
Shawn Arendo « Tue Aug 31, 2010 21:44 »
lots of pain... took aspirin... |
Shawn Arendo « Tue Aug 31, 2010 21:44 »
I got a root canal yesterday... |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 31, 2010 20:43 »
Well, got a root canal treatment today - of about 80 minutes - and I assumed all pain would be over. I was wrong. I wish I was a turtle, no teeth to worry about. |
Blackbeard « Sat Aug 28, 2010 18:42 »
And I have only 6 left, and 3 days to go... sigh. |
Blackbeard « Sat Aug 28, 2010 18:41 »
But at this moment I am sober. Well, I took a painkiller because I am getting visions of Laurence Olivier playing dentist in "The Marathon Man". |
Blackbeard « Sat Aug 28, 2010 18:39 »
Heheh, Road, you say you didn't lovethe drinking when it 'showed'.. On another board a woman posted she couldn't see the difference, hahaha!! That could have been a compliment or the opposite, lol |
Blackbeard « Sat Aug 28, 2010 18:34 »
Hi Kit and Road ! Good to hear from the two of you again. |

Roady!! You have a facebook? |
roadrash « Fri Aug 27, 2010 23:50 »
Ask a question now and then....like you just did! Glad for the company. love and light rr |
roadrash « Fri Aug 27, 2010 23:46 »
Yo Abe...still around...just don't have much of interest to contribute. Waiting around to die is boaring as hell! Always loved you like a son, didn't love the drinking when it "showed". |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 27, 2010 22:49 »
Btw...... does anyone know about RoadRash?? I haven't seen him around for a very long time. Yeah, yeah, I know, he never liked my big mouth and my skeptiscism. But I was never his 'enemy', ok? |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 27, 2010 22:46 »
But I just can't take bullshit, from whoever. Not you, not ZZZZZ, not Allister, not Gee, not Henry, and so on |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 27, 2010 22:44 »
I remember I agreed with you on SR, and that I went a long way defending your stance. |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 27, 2010 22:42 »
You think I am 'against' you, out of sport or something. Well, I am not. It may surprise you, but I do actually think about what you say, being the Neanderthal that I am. |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 27, 2010 22:39 »
"Compliments", I do remember that I have agreed with you several times. But don't ask me to prove it, ok? |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 27, 2010 22:37 »
Sil, you don't 'state facts', you state your opinions about those facts. |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 27, 2010 22:36 »
"Humbleness is the remedy". I hope you really understand those words. |
SSilhouette « Fri Aug 27, 2010 18:16 »
Step away Jose'. Just stop overcompensating for your own perceived inadequacies. Fortunately quite awhile ago I decided that other people's opinions of me are not the yardstick by which I measure myself. Of course once you do that though, you have to self-regulate your ego. Humbleness is the remedy. But humbles isn't dishonesty. You want me to lie about what I'm doing, to downplay it so you feel less ill at ease with your own inadequacies. I won't do that. I simply state the facts as they are. And yet when I don't know them, as with my kids asking things I'm ignorant of, I simply state that also without fuss. The fuss is what drains us. I'm searching my mind here, not that it is significant to me, but is to you. I'm trying to come up with a memory of a time when you said in a matter of words, "hey Sil, that insight is spot on". I can't think of one but maybe you can and can quote it somewhere? If you can't come up with a definitive compliment you paid me, then I'll point the arrow at someone with the too-large ego, and it's not pointing in my direction Abe. |
Blackbeard « Thu Aug 26, 2010 12:53 »
Oh, I am bullying now, eh? When I read your sermons I just get the idea that you really have a huge ego. That is not bad in iteself, but sometimes it resembles a too large toe... easy to step on. |
SSilhouette « Wed Aug 25, 2010 18:43 »
I suggest that instead of trying to overcompensate for your self-perceived inadequacies by denigrating me as an egomaniac, you instead find an area where you naturally have a talent to tap the 2nd attention . For you it may be ? I'd sure like to see something from you other than bullying others for your own falling short of the mark. |
SSilhouette « Wed Aug 25, 2010 18:41 »
What I do is wake up from dreaming with new insights. I tap the 2nd attention reservoir which is also known as "seeing". I tap it directly so there is no part of my own in the entire affair, no intervention of "me" in the process, or very little. When I write, I go back and edit for flow and readability. Writing to me is like sculpting for some. I start with a very raw block of "essence", media and then sculpt the words gently by chisel and even sandpaper if required. Sometimes I'll cut out whole paragraphs, like a sculptor will sometimes use an axe to knock off a large chunk that just doesn't belong in that piece. Artists tap into the 2nd attention to do their work. Some paint, some sculpt, some compose great works of music, others tap unknown scientific formulas. I write. That's what I do. And when I do, I tap. It isn't me, it's my channel. |
SSilhouette « Wed Aug 25, 2010 18:37 »
Au contraire! I am so empty that the more I know, the more I realize how lacking in knowledge I am. And yet I'm filled to the brim with foibles? Let's say that if I was filled with my own ego, I would've written a book by now and demanded national recognition. As it is I just banter about with you lot here in nowheresville. What I do is channel. Much of the stuff I've written about Abe, I could not recite on demand to save my life. Sometimes someone will call my attention to something I wrote last week, a month before or even the year before and I read it and don't quite recognize the writing as my own. If you spoke to me in real life you'd think I was an ignoramus or at least a little slow. That's how channeling is. An empty tube makes the best channel. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 24, 2010 21:24 »
You are so full of your owm ego, ít's just incredible. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 24, 2010 19:09 »
Kids just ask, they are sort of empty. You are not anything like 'empty', lol. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 24, 2010 19:08 »
Sil, you never asked me anything resembling a kid's question. You always had your own solution to a question ready at hand. |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 24, 2010 19:04 »
But hey, didn't he play the guitar too??? |
Blackbeard « Tue Aug 24, 2010 19:02 »
Hi Lilly! I remember that music, heheh. Be the child that you like to be. That piano music gives me goose bumps. |
SSilhouette « Mon Aug 23, 2010 4:41 »
When my kids were in the question stage, I indulged them quite a bit. I endeavored to tell them the answer to as much as I could and let them keep asking until they got tired and did something else. As a result, their peers think of them as older than they really are. When in reality they just got exposed to more information than most at an early age. Once kids have information, they're pretty good at knitting concepts together on their own. They alway surprise me with random insights that never occured to me. And yet when the words come out of their mouths, I know instantly that they are seeing and I see that what they've said is absolutely spot-on. |
SSilhouette « Mon Aug 23, 2010 4:37 »
"The strange thing is that at some point I just accepted he didn't know, and stopped haunting him with 'difficult' questions."~Abe ..lol..that's why I'm here at TTZ Abe. I'm haunting you with difficult questions. When I was a young child, I went on like I do now just observing what I saw and reporting on it. Often this would get me into trouble with my narcissistic mom whose entire existence revolved around her glaring flaws not being mentioned...EVER... lol..so she recruited my brother to go around teasing me, calling me "the fountain of wisdom" when I was as young as I can remember. My kids nowadays always ask me for advice about everything. About half the time I look at them and say, "I simply don't know the answer to that.". It's like they're stunned, but they shouldn't be. I only talk about what I know of and avoid subjects I don't know about unless I research them well.. Even then I'm cautious. The things you see me ramble on about here I've given quite a lot of thought to over the last several decades. |

Childlike you were born and to a childlike (or childish) state you shall return. |
lilly « Sat Aug 21, 2010 19:14 »
Was listen to some Antonio Cobo . Duende Music like Malaguena and thought of you Abe... hehe so here I am. Childlike |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:28 »
At a certain point your brains would short-circuit, because you would be unable to admit you had no answers, not even your usual stupid ones. |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:25 »
My father was not incompetent, he just didn't make a lot of fuss about not knowing all the answers. I think a kid could kill someone like you by just asking lots of questions. |
ZZZZZ Continued « Thu Aug 19, 2010 13:55 »
Children are endowed with short attention spans in order to survive the worst that incompetent parents can do to them. This enables them to grow up and become incompetent parents themselves and broadcast their incompetence to literally a handful of people as Sil does. |
Blackbeard « Wed Aug 18, 2010 21:23 »
The strange thing is that at some point I just accepted he didn't know, and stopped haunting him with 'difficult' questions. |
Blackbeard « Wed Aug 18, 2010 21:18 »
When I kept asking questions my father couldn't answer, he always said, "Ask your mother", and be done with it, lol. |
SSilhouette « Wed Aug 18, 2010 15:57 »
You discipline them when they're pulling the cat's tail or trying to put peanut butter in the CD player..not for asking questions.. |
SSilhouette « Wed Aug 18, 2010 15:55 »
That's the opposite side of the spectrum.. Right here in the middle is where I like to talk about four year olds natural inquisitiveness with the assumption that people know how to discipline their children as well. You don't respond to a four year old's natural curiosity with punishment dipshit. |
SSilhouette « Wed Aug 18, 2010 15:54 »
Yeah, they turn out pretty much like you ZZZZZ....you have all the Hallmarks of a child raised with a total free reign and zero discipline. I'll bet your parents even encouraged you to call them by their first names instead of "mom" and "dad". Overweening seems to be in your makeup.. |
ZZZZZ Continued « Tue Aug 17, 2010 13:35 »
I would consider the multi-generational boring of children to be abuse and for the good of humanity this scourge must be brought to an end by the gentle persuasion of big government. Just tell the kids to shut up and quit asking questions inappropriate for their age. Parents that allow themselves to be bullied by their toddlers get the children that they deserve. |
Allister « Tue Aug 17, 2010 0:47 »
My family was very open about these things. |
Allister « Tue Aug 17, 2010 0:43 »
I'd explain both, in the multiple meanings from different vernaculars throughout time and culture. |
SSilhouette « Mon Aug 16, 2010 23:56 »
But would you serve, Allister, the Salty Pimp chocolate-dipped cone to your kids and explain to them what a Pimp is and what Gay is from The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck? Runs in my mind you don't have kids yet Allister. Three and four year olds are notorious "Why?" askers. And some cheesy explanation cutting the conversation short won't suffice. If something about your explanation falls short, they'll ask again about that shortcoming, "But, WHY?" and so on....lol... And you must tell the truth. Lying to kids is not a good idea... So what would be your true answer to a four year old to "daddy, what is a pimp?" and "daddy, what is gay?". You won't have to answer the chocolate part because your four year old will be of a generation where "pimp" and "black" are no longer synonymous...only for bigots. But by god you will have to attend every detail of "pimp" and "gay" for those ever-inquiring four year olds.. |
Blackbeard « Fri Aug 13, 2010 23:53 »
Sil, sorry, but you appear to have some sort of 'tunnel view'. And that's been caused by your upbringing, something you fail to acknowledge, something you make excuses for by quoting Castaneda. |
Allister « Thu Aug 12, 2010 5:51 »
When I go back to visit, I'm going to have to look them up (if it's still around), just so I can give an unbiased opinon of the ice creams quality.. |
Allister « Thu Aug 12, 2010 5:49 »
I would certainly enjoy a well made Salty Pimp, and as a Native New Yorker, my opinion matters more than yours. |
Allister « Thu Aug 12, 2010 5:49 »
Are you from NYC Ssil? Maybe I'm wrong but the "Salty Pimp" is found in NYC, and unless you live there (I Have), I figure it's none of your business. |
SSilhouette « Thu Aug 12, 2010 5:17 »
Stop being an apologist Julia. Nobody mixes "The Salty Pimp" cone with CHILDREN'S products and gets away with a slap on the wrist. If he was selling to adults, yeah...the whole point of that photo, which you have quite apparently and repeatedly and purposefully missed, is that a children's product has been blatantly sexualized. If this doesn't bother you then nothing will...besides "homophobes" of course.. |
Julia « Wed Aug 11, 2010 18:02 »
Homophobia is not edgy, it's Victorian prudeness and fear of being outcast from the hetero flock. |
Julia « Wed Aug 11, 2010 17:58 »
Maybe the "Salty Pimp" was named so in order to rile reactionary homophobes, and help get them out into the light, so everyone can see them. |
SSilhouette « Wed Aug 11, 2010 16:04 »
I don't know about your theory that unwanted kids in marriage cause divorce zzz.. Most people get married anticipating having kids. Marriage and kids are like "Salty Pimp" chocolate ice cream cones and pedophiles, they go hand in hand... |
ZZZZZ Continued « Wed Aug 11, 2010 14:54 »
Ice cream trucks are always violent. You can tell by the shape of the cones (conical) that they sell and the dark center of the eyes all over them – or maybe it’s just the magic mushruds talking. |
