Warped Health Shoon ... A Single-service Society.

We humans live short lives. Just ask the mountains who are children compared to the sea.

And we are curious connivers. Ask any crow. They watch. They know.

And they learn...

To Waltz Invictus (Robert) "Warped Minds"  "Rivers bend back on themselves and create oxbow lakes out of former channels all the time. If space does that then why not just go from point A to G without having to recite the alphabet? Suez or Panama Canal anyone? Going faster isn't always the fastest way to get there. Warp drives and transporters may have more in common than present day scientists imagine. A different way of looking at it may be in order."

Routines are helping me get through depression and anxiety. Walking, chatting, exercising, writing, reading really help. My life is not without its pitfalls and Thailand is NOT a Paradise. Least of all for me. I told this to Pear at Koala last night. She works next door to where I live. Coffee? I hope so.

Money isn't an issue right now. Shoon? I put on my worn out sneakers and can now walk with confidence on wet pavement. Rainy season here is dangerous when w.e.t. (with.every.tumble).

To Dr Gonzo (Neil) "Befriend Or Don't Befriend Part II"  "The Homeless Shelter was good enough for forging relationships with others with mental, physical, emotional issues. But... I don't want group therapy other than what I do here by commenting on blogs and sharing in-real-life. My issues are almost as diverse as humanity itself. One-on-one is nice.

I exorcise (exercise) every day now (4 station mini). Some days more than others but overall I think it's helping. And I try to walk every day. Different muscles are used. Same with my activities here. Very different writing a poem than writing a story or vomiting in my blog. I do vomit best.

My main problem in Thailand? A lack of friends. I'm not belly-to-the-bar like many of the old ex-pats in Udon Thani."

and "There's Just Something About A New Pair Of Shoes"  "I took my old shoes out of the closet. They're worn but are much safer than the sandals that slip and slide on the snot that soaks everywhere I try to walk. I should check into New Balance. I am already old and footwear is a major issue for balance.

My sister sent money from my mother when she was put in a nursing home. Quite a bit really. I just put it in the bank as I wasn't traveling during Covid Season. May be one reason I don't stress as much over finances as before?

I make goals, break them into objectives, sometimes don't accomplish everything every day; but, over time it has helped me. Past mistakes? I've been traumatized in the Past but doing better than before."

I will never get to edit everything I've written. But it would be nice to get my vampire stories translated into Portuguese. My Thai/Lao may never get to that level of understanding.

My cursive is lovely... when I try; but, making facsimiles for posting? I've thought about doing a small handwritten booklet that way.

To PureSciFi "Mostly a Relaxing Day"  "My journal has over 5,000 handwritten pages. If I could scan and save? Priceless.

If I could go from cursive to text that would solve some issues. I could then use an on-line translator for a rough translation.

Hope this goes well for you."

I think of Thailand as a single-service society. Use and discard. That applies to both plastic and people. Hard to make friends.

Hard to make friends on social media as well. Not everyone at WdC seeks community or deems to interact.

But I try to use what I pay for, reuse if I can. And that applies to WdC, plastic and establishing friendships.

To Agape Novels (Joshua) "Update."  "I agree about using what you've paid for. I use WdC daily and that justified paying more for a higher level. I resisted... because I'm frugal; but, it's my main social outlet. I use *spacefook* for pictures and keeping in touch because I travel. Good for pictures imho. I've considered youtube and instagram.

I know nothing about rumble. I do watch tiktok (too much). rumble skews younger and somewhat male. That compares to WdC which is older and female. Very different audiences. I'm not interested in monetization as much as exposure. WdC worked well for that circa 2010. No longer. google promotes monetized ads to the point that it's no longer useful for even basic questions. It's a $$$ marketplace (but not of ideas).

I used Amazon once and cancelled. I suspect my personal info was sold by them if not [by] others. Fortunately, I'm not of much interest to anyone."
