Facing the Abyss

[Mackeyser]

That is uncanny. LOL

With the weather in Florida being what it is, I dunno if I'm just getting more sensitive to pressure changes as I get older or if the pressure has really been on more of a roller coaster this spring/summer, but my migraines and cluster headaches have been really crappy.

Yes and no. On one hand, I feel your Carl Sagan pale blue coconut dot view point.

On the other hand when facing the abyss, I find the First Law of Thermal Dynamics comforting.
The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

That means Loyal Ram's atoms existed since the beginning of the Universe! Loyal Ram's matter and energy can not be destroyed! What a wonderful thought.

Those aren't our atoms, we're just renting them from the universe.

Hey Mac, like the picture, did you see the new Doc on him?

I went back to school while working full time. I graduate in a month.

YaY for you!!!!!

Excellent job!

:wow:

Congrats...What sort of degree?

 

[Ramhusker]

I went back to school while working full time. I graduate in a month.

Congrats! That's the way I did it and I think it is probably the most rewarding way. You certainly appreciate it more.

 

[RamsAndEwe]

Congrats...What sort of degree?

Appreciate the Attagirl's Loyal Ram, Ramhusker, and Mr. Les Baker. Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I plan to focus on wound care.

Yes, Ramhusker. I found working and school extremely rewarding. Nice to surprise oneself. In addition, I enjoyed my electives. Classes such as Philosophy, Evolution, and Anthropology.

I really want to. I grew up with him on the TV in the early 70s and he's one of my exemplars when it comes to living with grace and dignity and compassion.

I know I will unapologetically cry like a baby when I see it and I couldn't care less.

I think he's an example for us all.

As a total aside, scientists studying space found that "space" isn't totally empty. They found traces of ketones.

That's what gives Raspberries their flavor.

Hence...the universe tastes like Raspberries.

I find great comfort in that.

"And at the great time of reckoning, the All Powerful Buttered Toast will sweep through the universe, collected all the Raspberry jam and consume itself...with a nice hot pot of Camomile tea."

That's so wonderful. I would love to go back to school, but as a disabled vet, I'm not allowed to take any kind of class that could potentially lead to employment...even if I get accommodations and don't use any education benefits or government subsidy. I can watch tv and go brain dead, but I can't audit a class in Japanese... /shrug.

So, I'm excited when I hear that others who can, even if it's difficult, go back and do it.

God Bless. As someone who's sorta an expert in patient care from the patient end, I've always respected my nurses more than most doctors.

Nurses are good people.

I remember him being on when I was a kid, reruns and stuff. I was never that into it, but, the preview I saw looked really good. Compelling. Sometimes the simple truths of caring about other people just because they are people is best delivered in a simple way.
Looking forward to watching it.

Mr. Rogers was my childhood. I don't know if I'll be able to see the movie because I'll ugly-cry, like, five minutes in, most likely, lawl.
