Made me think of "peripatetic." Also means moving around. Also means philosophical.

I remember looking that word up when I saw it for the first time. It's meaning is nothing like what I imagined it would be. I also pronounced it wrong...

No. There's more to it than that.

You are welcome here. We can always use some.... whatever it is you provide. I'm not joking, I just don't know the right word. But if you don't get wh...

Near Boston, MA.

You've only been here for a couple of months. If you don't find value in it, go away. The forum has changed my life for the better and it means a lot ...

My son cares about beer. He stores them on shelves in our basement. He also manages a farm. In summer, there is no room for my cottage cheese because ...

This may seem like a non-sequitur, but...I'm pretty sure Norsemen never got to Thailand, but they did make it as far south as Sicily. That has always ...

Amazingly enough, that also is from the Monkee's theme song.

It's better than this: https://vimeo.com/148990643

Yeah, I remember. It's from the Monkee's theme song. Actually, I'm getting a little tickle, but not much. I'll soak in it and see if something pops up...

I've gotten in this discussion before. There are times, maybe most times, when I take no issue with an objective view of the world. I believe the sun ...

The opposite has happened to me here.

I'll read the article.

So there were trees before there was a word for trees. The splitting up of the universe into categories such that one category is "trees," has been es...

I am not a good spokesman for the Taoist position on anything, so, I'm only painting my own picture inspired by my reading of the Tao Te Ching. If you...

This is pretty self-indulgent. Also a bit disingenuous. If what you say is true, you have been as pretentious as the rest of us. Suddenly acting as if...

I don't know about the past and present, but human consciousness shapes what exists. I'm not talking about anything mystical or supernatural. It's the...

Yes. Exactly. It has meant a lot to me.

King of the Road. Roger Miller

As good a definition of philosophy as I can come up with.

That's really amazing. I interpret it differently. She soothes us with the rainbow, then blasts us with the lightening!! Take that lowly human!! Or ma...

No, I don't think you're missing anything. I hope I clarified my original post. I was just commenting on the changes in the forum, which I think are g...

Ah, yes. That explains so much. :meh:

I'm really sorry. I wasn't trying to start a rumble. I only wanted to point out that the conversation fdrake was commenting on was much more civil and...

You're not the only one who wasn't clear whether I was fer or agin the "new tone." Fer it. I don't think it has anything to do with you individually. ...

Funny. I had forgotten @"fdrake" is a moderator now. It does mean something different coming from him rather than a regular member.

I think it's a really good thing. Sorry I wasn't clear. I was talking to some other people and they wondered if it has gotten or will get more boring....

No argument with your sentiment, but it is a testament to the change in tone on the forum in the last months that this exchange is considered "too per...

I'll try something @"Sapientia" and I have been working on: Pontoon Boat.

Sorry, BB, but no, I don't have to. I'm comfortable letting things stand as they are.

Sorry. You lost me.

I am so proud.

But, I do have moral qualms about doing the things you describe, you rascal.

I would have thought they are a bit short to be considered "phallic," but that's just me. They are to keep people from falling into the old shed found...

Yes, it seems like a reasonable issue to bring up. Also, it's in a different thread.

Don't understand.

I could tell you that I have high blood sugar and need to eat a low carb diet, which is true, but that would be disingenuous. I like to eat meat. I li...

I can understand a moral argument against abortion, but I continue to support a woman's right to choose. I understand a moral argument for the death p...

I'm not a Taoist in any sense. I admire the way of understanding described by Lao Tzu. I've found it very helpful in my life. As for the rest, I don't...

Is that true? I am not a student of veganism. On the other hand, as an omnivore, I can understand a moral argument against eating or subjugating anima...

Reminds me of a story. I was at a dinner sitting next to a very nice 17 yo woman. Across from me was another young man, probably early 30s. On my othe...

Do you imagine Lao Tzu and his buddies were unaware of that? It's one of things I like best about Taoism, it's funny and it knows it's funny. Speaking...

Of course, it's hard to talk about the Tao. Impossible. That's the whole point. The Tao is what's there without human interpretation, cognition, langu...

Except that it would be creepy, this is what might be known as The Easter Bunny's workshop for the Clark's 34th annual Easter egg hunt: /uploads/resiz...

For me, what you are describing is the essence of Taoism. The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eterna...
