Just a thought........aren't they all?

-
I have a funny way of talking. I have often said, when Jimmy Stuart talks, everyone thinks it is cute. When I talk that way, everyone wants to finish my sentences.
So, perhaps I would make a good character actor. I am beginning Part two of my book. Progress has been slow. Not that I lack the inspiration, I need sunshine. May began as very promissing. I even began getting up early and got busy early. I am a little worried about finding another full time job. Unemployment and competition for existing jobs are great. A girl told me the other day that she thought I was 40. I often get that. That's cool. But I am 50. I don't want to drive an hour to work anymore. I don't want to move. Perhaps, if I thought that my book would have a pay off, I'd work a little harder.
Over the course of my unemployment since January 8th, I have slipped up to 2olbs over my ideal weight. I need to be 180 - 185. I might as well be 100lbs over. I'm supposed to camp overnight in Vermont on Friday and enter the Ghia in a show on Sunday. They keep changing the forecast. Yesterday, the weekend was going to be a sunny 65 to 70. Now they say rain. Perhaps tomorrow they'll change it again. Bah-humshit. I'm gonna go find something to eat...

Could be worse...you could be like me and go from a svelte 120 lbs. to over 200 in just a few weeks....my doctor says I must be eating triple decker sandwhiches all day....nope, hardly eat at all in fact. I don't diet anymore, I don't care anymore....but, I can offer this advice, don't give up at 20lbs to lose, if I could have controlled it then (not even lost it) I wouldn't be the apathetic thing I am now.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as...

We're all Gods witha capital "G", eh?

The multiplicity of available forums such as blogger, wordpress, my space and etc...allow us the ability to share something of our experience. And I like that:>) On some subjects we will agree while on others we may see things differently. And that's okay. So, here I go again... I recently read a brilliant and well written post on a Buddhist blog that mapped out the reasons why it is that Buddhists do not believe in a supreme being and that the concept of a creator God is antithetical to Buddhist thought. The post also cites that the Buddha listed belief in a supreme creator as one of the wrong views in the Brahmajala Sutta, Digha 1. This neatly packaged "Buddhist belief" feels like too big a piece of gristle in my mouth. Chewing it creates a rather fatty taste in my mouth and to spit it out feels rude. I have come to a place where I am sensitive or aware of beliefs, labels and such. At several points in my life I could say that I am a Christian, a Taoist, a Buddhist, ...

Loneliness is such a....drag

"Spiritual friendship, association with wise and noble friends, and wise and noble deeds are the whole of the holy life." the Buddha I, ve been watching some of the recurrent thoughts that arise to chastise me and one of the little buggers is the thought and the subsequent feelings of loneliness. When I was studying and reaching for a life as a Christian pastor, I felt a like-mind with several brothers and sisters that I had met along the way. Sometimes it seemed easy to extend grace toward one another. It was a time of embracing. There was value in " not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together." This friendship has not been duplicated since. I bear some responsibility for this. The level of fundamentalist Christian teaching that I withstood, questioned, and then left behind, left me lacking in trust of an organized anything: (see previous post) I have since relied on some of the friendships that developed through blogger to replace that which was not pres...
