Ah, now we enter the Iced Tea Multitculturalism. Many Arizonan's do NOT add sweetener or milk to iced tea. Top of glass for iice and fresh lemon are preferred. But don't order that in Mississipi without an expectation of dismay! Any noticeable diffs between CA/HI iced tea?

The weather shifts have changed our situation unfortunately now they're vacillating as to how long the monsoon will last. it is what it . world is Under Siege with climate change. I'd asked for an iced tea get laughed at and get one or two tubes of quickly melting ice lol

Friendly, comassionate advice: "You need to do what's best for you, period." My response: "this it is not about doing what's best for me. It's about doing the most with the time I have for the most people possible how hard is that to express? Very fucking hard, apparently. :D

Well, when we hit 129F in Death Valley recently, known for generations for not just exteme weather from moment to moment at times, that was sobereing. It was lower than 22C at brekkie. By dinner, only a mild increase to 37C. I am lucky, we are fully solar at my apartments, wshew.

I think @cackhanded's excellent Isaac Asmiov quote nailed it for me! "“If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.” — Isaac Asimov

Since you are asking if you should write maybe the fact that you’re asking is your answer. Go ahead and write. I don’t know how much longer you have, but you really never know. They told me my sale by date was 2014, yet I’m still alive and doing better than they thought I would.

It makes me maddish except we all have to adapt if we are to meet daily life needs. Also, bass players - good ones - are incredibly difficult to find. If you find one, they're always too busy :D

Like doing logic proofs? Follow the binary conflict model, we find binary thinkinig in conflict is not binary at all, but near or almost singular: Monoculture. Monotheism. Monolithic. Monotony. Monologue. Monopoly. One isn't the lonliest number. It's the most dangerous.

In particularly predatory capitalistic nations (USA), the diversity of motivations to act are very exclusionary. The big ones? Market domination equals power. One or few are intended to benefit, not the many and of course, constant combative conflict to WIN.

And to truly revisit what inclusion actually means. All Behavioral Studies right now looking at measurements of intelligence have a common theme and that is that true genius never ever ever happens in a vacuum by one person

Sometimes, the cure is the disease. Other times, the disease is the cure.

Interestingly, only one person suggested maybe there was an overall change in my health. This would be true. 1. I AMA withdrew myself from 47 meds down to 1 prescribed seizure med and one dispensed many use med, 2. I vax, 3. I Attend therapy to manage issues related to dying

I'm tripping over Sarah's use of the term 'unrealistic.' Had we written the story of Musk, Bezos and Branson over their space adventures 10 years ago, it would have been considerd dystopian or science fiction. Read your contracts! Death clauses are factual and realisic.

Is it funny or sad or other that the answer to this question is in the question and yet was missed by (currently)100% of folks. Or is it merely an indicator that even a literate and literal person defaults to a bias that we are always expressing singular ideas? That's EXCLUSION!
Can someone please help me understand. I'm very serious I'm having a lot of trouble with my Passions and what I'm doing writing a book now at this late time in life when death it may well be imminent. What do you think?

That's a sweet saying and I like it and I want to say it's not about me it's includes me I'm part of the story but I am hardly these three would you not say so captures history all of us! And I want to expand that to your experiences that is all. Is that really so unusual?

Not from me darling with me together. I think this is a disconnect between me and the way other people think yes I think about myself but very rarely include myself in the picture. Education is an honor and to serve other people actually teaches me more than it does them
