DharmaBum50 comments on Sep 20, 2021:

Discovering new foods is always a great adventure, and I'm glad you were able to experience this. It reminds me of the time I changed teaching jobs in South Korea, which necessitated a new visa and therefore a trip out of the country to get it. As it happened, Malaysian Air had this great tourism-promotion campaign going at the time that included a round-trip ticket to Kuala Lumpur from Seoul and a stay of several days in a five-star hotel. Upon rising that first morning in the KL hotel, I was greeted with a luxurious breakfast buffet including an extensive fruit platter that looked something like the stock image below. Many of the tropical fruits on it were unfamiliar and exotic to this Kentucky boy--papaya, dragonfruit, guava, passionfruit, starfruit, and yes, rambutan--and I loaded my plate with them. I don't know as I've ever eaten as much Vitamin C in my life as I did that week in KL.

And sub basements as well.

Michelle O.

DharmaBum50 comments on Oct 3, 2018:

No, sorry, I have to disagree. All of the names mentioned here--Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren--are the same tired old Democratic (or Democratic Socialist) faces we've seen for years. Republicans already have game plans for each one of them based on their sometimes considerable baggage. What the Democratic Party needs for 2020 is a fresh new face and fresh new ideas. Meanwhile, perhaps this year's midterm elections will produce some of those, but only if Democrats and left-leaning people get the fuck off their asses and go out and vote.

Is the schism in the Republican party a political death sentence for the gop?

DharmaBum50 comments on Apr 18, 2018:

I'd like to think you're right, but I'm always leery of pronouncements of doom for the Republican Party. That's what was being said when Spanky McBone Spurs was a candidate. Democrats have a history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Not sure I belong in this group.

DharmaBum50 comments on Jun 30, 2020:

I'm with you, but given the (extremely) imperfect system we have to work within, I stay registered as a Democrat because there is no viable socialistic party. This way, I get to vote for progressives in the primaries; here in Kentucky, we've given the corporate centrists a run for their money with our progressive Democratic senatorial candidate Charles Booker, who ran against establishment, DNC hack Amy McGrath. The results have been close and are to be announced later today (because of the time it has taken to count the considerable number of absentee ballots). The winner runs against #MoscowMitch.

As my wife was dying, I had to sit through all the Catholic last rites hocus-pocus. When she did eventually die, I just wanted to sit with the body for a while in silence, but then my best friend (a New Ager like your wife) wanted to perform a ritual similar to the one you described. My mother-in-law got all up in arms about it, and I told her, "Why not? It's not any more ridiculous than the Catholic bullshit." Didn't help family relations, I don't guess, but my tolerance for that kind of stuff is limited. Sorry you had to go through it, too.

Changing Your Mind

DharmaBum50 comments on Feb 9, 2018:

It wasn't so much an argument or evidence presented by someone else that changed my political beliefs, but rather my own experience and observations. Believe it or not, I used to be a conservative Ayn Rand-y type. I grew up in a privileged upper middle-class household and went off to a college that catered to folks like that. When I got back home with a masters degree I couldn't use, I drove taxi for two years in Durham, NC. I saw every inch of that town while I was driving, the rich parts and the poor parts sometimes right next to each other. Most of my passengers were poor whites and poor blacks who couldn't afford their own set of wheels. Some were on welfare, but most of them had jobs--often multiple jobs--but were barely scraping by. I saw how little the capitalist system I used to glorify was benefiting them, and that began my journey leftwards.

Look at all that Orange!!

When I'm done with my first hobby, I come back home and enjoy the fruits of my second hobby. I put a bunch of grains and water in a tank and let them go bad for a while. When it's gone properly bad, I bottle the liquid, let it go even more bad and then drink it.

DharmaBum50 comments on Nov 24, 2017:

Kudos! Best time I ever had with these people was right after the Jim Jones mass suicide by KoolAid back in the 70s (I know--I'm old). I'd just gotten off from my nighttime taxi driving shift, and had poured a healthy quantity of bourbon into a coffee cup because all the glasses were dirty. I was sitting on the front porch, and these two guys came up and started in on the same JW spiel as you got. I'd already drunk half my cup of bourbon and was starting to get a buzz. They couldn't see what was in the cup, so I said, "I'm sorry, I already have a church I go to. I belong to the People's Temple." Lifting my cup, I continued, "Y'all want to come in and have some KoolAid?" Those guys boogied off my porch, and I finished my drink and went to bed.

It's funny.
