7/13/19 Missing the Osprey this year; I took them for granted last year.

Robecology comments on Jul 14, 2019:

Wow...sad...any idea why there's none in the nest? Osprey population statistics The Osprey is classified globally as a species of "Least Concern" by BirdLife International. Population Estimates: Poole (1989) estimated the world population at 25,000-30,000 breeding pairs, but the population obviously far exceeds those figures by now.Dec 29, 2014 Osprey - Global Raptor Information Network www.globalraptors.org/grin/SpeciesResults.asp?specID=8308

Something happened! I can lose weight, but a few years ago I could not.

Robecology comments on Jul 14, 2019:

I think it's a matter of maturity and awareness. Theoretically it should be harder for us to lose weight/get fit as we get older....for several reasons; 1. We're set in our ways 2. Our metabolism slows down 3. We do less/are less active 4. We enjoy comfort foods more. That's where the M and A comes in - because we now know...that we are older...and now, more than ever, life is precious...and if we want to live a full life.... ....we have to get fit, or face the consequences. You and I, Ed...are facing the consequences...that's why we're both signed in to "battling obesity" I've plateaued...but reading your story inspires me to get busy. I need to lose 10 more...and it has to be done soon or I will not age well. So...thanks...for the details!

Robecology comments on Jul 12, 2019:

"Speaking your mind" can mean lots of things...hostile/accepting, aggressive/passive, warm/cold friendly/unfriendly. It has a lot to do with how your parents and folks influential in your early life "spoke their mind" regarding you....it depends on how you/I were "programmed". If people blocked you and you say "their loss" you're not reflecting on why they blocked you...so you will continue to be annoying (to them) until you become more flexible and tolerant. That may - or may not - be important to you. Ken Keyes put it this way; You may be "right" and be alone....or you may be tolerant and be with more who care about you. Ken spoke of "addictions" (things you must have) vs "preferences" (things you would like, but can do without). He kept suggesting to make all your addictions preferences to gain a higher level of consciousness and happiness. https://www.azquotes.com/author/17975-Ken_Keyes_Jr

Robecology comments on Jul 12, 2019:

The "Mansfield Safety Bar" was not only required for all trucks as a result of her and her driver and husband's horrible death by hitting a slowed truck in '67 but was obviously named in her honor. In 1967, Mansfield was in Biloxi, Mississippi, for an engagement at the Gus Stevens Supper Club. After two appearances on the evening of June 28, Mansfield, Sam Brody (her attorney and companion), their driver Ronnie Harrison (age 20), and three of her children— Miklós, Zoltán, and Mariska—left Biloxi after midnight in a 1966 Buick Electra 225. Their destination was New Orleans, where Mansfield was to appear on WDSU's Midday Show the next day. At about 2:25 a.m., on U.S. Highway 90 west of the Rigolets Bridge, the Buick crashed at high speed into the rear of a tractor-trailer that had slowed behind a truck spraying mosquito fogger shrouded in an insecticide fog. The three adults in the front seat died instantly. The children, asleep in the rear seat, survived with minor injuries. Reports that Mansfield was decapitated are untrue, although she suffered severe head trauma.This urban legend started with the appearance in police photographs of a crashed car with its top virtually sheared off, and what resembled a blonde-haired head tangled in the car's smashed windshield. However, the blonde object was a wig Mansfield was wearing, and possibly parts of her real hair and scalp. Her death certificate stated that the immediate cause of death was a "crushed skull with avulsion of cranium and brain". After her death, the NHTSA recommended requiring an under-ride guard (a strong bar made of steel tubing) on all tractor-trailers; the trucking industry was slow to adopt this change. In America the under-ride guard is sometimes known as a "Mansfield bar", or an "ICC bumper" The death car was saved by a private collector in Florida, where it became a roadside attraction in the 1970s. As of 2019, the car is owned by Scott Michaels and is housed and shown at his Dearly Departed Tours & Artifact Museum in Los Angeles across from Hollywood Forever Cemetery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Mansfield

10 Future Predictions From World's Best Futurists [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Jul 12, 2019:

I agree and expect all of them to happen - except the autonomous cars, and two more I'll mention at the end of this comment. Perhaps in many decades; but not nearly as soon as predicted. We like to drive too much; and automatic, or "autonomous" reading of all the stop signs, lights, and other subtle signals that we get in a typical drive will not allow autonomous driving to happen "exponentially". It will be a slow, linear growth. I predict 40 or 50 years until it's common. Going from riding horses to cars took 20 years. Going from desk and wall phones to cell phones took 20 years. Going from No computer to computer common usage took 20 years. I drive an EV (Tesla) - I've had one since 2013... but I predict the same transition rate to EV's as to the above technologies - another 15 years until they're common. But I have the latest Autopilot in my Tesla....and it's not at all what it's hyped up to be. The autopilot still can't recognize stop signs, and street signals....and I like to "drive" my car, not be a passenger in the "drivers" seat...so I predict that this sentiment will be strong world wide. Great and interesting predictions... The other things that I predict won't occur is the uninhabitability of our earth, as predicted by Stephen Hawking. I'm more of an optimist; with alternative energy growing exponentially, and coal and oil now on slow declines in all markets....I predict we'll get hotter for decades to come...but we'll adapt to it better than Hawking forecasted. I'm mildly skeptical about the elimination of hospitals...mainly for bureaucratic reasons. There's too much specialization in the operating room "theaters" that are evolving at most major hospitals. Doctors, big pharma, and Insurance CEO's won't allow this transition to "home medicine" nearly as fast as forecast.

Be considerate, please. The Chinese have been a part of the American restaurant scene for many decades. They've come to America, and learned of our weakness for good, inexpensive dining and take-out. They live in the shadows...they don't make waves. Don't let your stoned condition let you slip in to a state of racism. The Chinese are at the brink of dominating the world. Look around your home...everything you have has a "made in China" label on it. And they've already made more electric cars than Tesla....it's just that our tariff and importation laws make them almost impossible to bring in...yet. A few years ago, they were opening a coal plant every week. Today they're closing one every month, and have more solar and wind farms than America and Europe combined. Here's a scene from "A Christmas Story - the Chinese restaurant" that should leave a smile on your face! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTq20prt0K8 Be nice...and realize what a good bargain Chinese take-out is. Some day that "take out" will be an easy to install solar energy panel for your roof....and an electric car.

Hi Dot! Yea....I did the same thing....I bounced up today, as well...to 146. But I know why....I had a package of ground beef that needed to be used.

Wow....too good to eat just a little...so...oink-oink...I pigged out. I'll measure out portions later today and eat the rest in smaller portions - I promise!

You're still "seeking"...and that's not a bad thing....but too much effort to find that perfect relationship can hurt you. Especially if you're losing sleep over it...you're causing premature aging, more susceptibility to colds and cancer, and a whole mess of life-shortening stuff. So focus on self love. Make sure you sweat once a day. Be hungry part of the day. Close the lights early and deep breathe..... And go get some Melatonin; it's what any world traveler uses (along with caffeine) to adjust to different time zones and get decent sleep!.

Robecology comments on Jul 10, 2019:

I've done research on Santa/Saint Nicholas. The original story of how he came to be a saint is charming; He was from Turkey....where Orange trees were just getting a start (originally from China). So he was instrumental in bringing big bags of them (his "sack") in sleighs pulled by Reindeer to northern climates. where he not only left thousands of the fruit on the doorsteps of the poor, but was known to sneak in to the homes, and stuff them in to the stockings drying by the fireplace. ....so the story goes. ...and like a typical Christian story; that act of generosity got blown way out of proportion to flying sleighs, climbing down chimneys, and doing all of this at the stroke of midnight.

Robecology comments on Jul 9, 2019:

I've learned early (thanks mainly to good books - Ken Keyes Jr. is a favorite) that there's **Love, hate, and indifference.** **Love **takes time. that "love at first site" is bogus...it's lust. **Hate **is almost the opposite of love; it comes when a loved one disappoints you, and won't work to fix their act....or keeps disappointing you. This is the **"anger"** you are referring to. **Indifference** is reserved for strangers...and if you've ended a relationship, it's a goal to become "indifferent" to the former lover/hated one. When you've forgotten their birthdays, habits, comments, you've graduated to "indifference"...and yes...it just takes time; although being decisive (blocking/removing addresses/phone numbers) about moving toward indifference will help you move on in your life... https://www.azquotes.com/author/17975-Ken_Keyes_Jr

I just heard (last night) that Megan Rapinoe (the woman soccer player that's been in a Twitter debate with DJT) will be on the Maddow show (9 PM EDST) tonight (7/9) https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/rapinoe-sanders-harris-make-week-of-big-maddow-show-interviews-63507013667

Good morning! It sure is difficult coming back to real life after 5 wonderful days off.

Robecology comments on Jul 9, 2019:

Here's a big one. Impulse buying. I did it last night. I saw an ad for an electric bike for an unbelievably cheap price (I'll attach a pic in a minute). The problem is...I already have a bike, I don't need a new one, nor a faster one. But the price sent me buying. A true "first world" problem. I'll call Pay Pal when they open at 10 AM...see if I can get a refund.

8 July 2019 - Diet Diary - It rained tonight, HARD for a bit.

Robecology comments on Jul 9, 2019:

Kudos to you, Dot....for getting back "on the wagon" (ice cream is addictive). I've gone down on the scale for the last 3 days in a row. Token amounts...really...but incremental progress.

It's a tad bit nipply in here

Once again...a small breasted woman shows us how to "work it"...what a beauty! Sad about the tattoo...but who's perfect? It looks like it's an erasure in progress...

Don't normally get involved in pop culture, but I do like Bill Nye.

Robecology comments on Jul 9, 2019:

Not like Bill to be rude like that....and all he's doing is making her popular.

So, I've started going on dates.

Robecology comments on Jul 8, 2019:

You're actually fortunate that the early dates aren't sexually "stimulating". It's letting you develop your "friend" factor....which might be a good thing. Eventually there might be a date that you're "turned on" to but he's not feeling it with you....so be prepared for that as well. This experience (you turned on, him not) also will let you empathize with the fellows you weren't "turned on" to that lusted to be with you.... Stay loose...and stay "thirsty"....good luck!

Robecology comments on Jul 8, 2019:

BTW; Anyone recall the lyrics to "Allentown" by Billy Joel? Written in 1980? Nearly 40 years ago? About half way through; "But they've taken all the coal from the ground". Songwriters knew it then. Why are we so slow to catch on? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbWbrM2m8SQ

Robecology comments on Jul 8, 2019:

The reason it's not legalized is that too many politicians are paid well to vote to continue to keep it illegal. -which funds our prison-for-profit. -which funds our DEA -which legitimizes our attacks on drug cartels. -which allows black market profits tax free. The system of corruption is deep and complex. Don't expect legalization for logical reasons in the near future. The same complex issues keeps us in Afghanistan;

Snake eats lizard eats beetle Fossil food chain from the Messel Pit examined

Robecology comments on Jul 8, 2019:

To be that well preserved took a sudden, rapid burial. That snake didn't budge - so it was a significant amount covering it very suddenly. Good anthroloigical dig. (This also explains why there's so few human fossils - humans just avoid getting covered by accident far better than snakes....although human intentional burials have been important to anthropology. )

The Waffle house has Pecan Pancakes that outdo anyone else's. I have to have just one, with a soft over easy and some butter and syrup....whenever I travel. I alternate that with egg-white omelettes at various locations to bring the cholesterol and glycerides back to normal. And to add to your conversation...I just met my first fellow Agnostic.com poster yesterday! We had an iced coffee and a Tea at an Applebees...Nice meeting you, @EyesThatSmile !

The Headline is clearly redundant; "American Atheists Condemns HHS for Putting Religion Ahead of Health Care" duh, ya think?

My exact weight goal....135. I finally made it to 145 two days in a row....One more day of no carbs, eating light at dinner....staying away from sweets...and I'll have it....(I hope).

Here's Snopes' story on that alleged 13 year old Rape... https://www.snopes.com/news/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/ And for those who think Snopes is slanted....I searched the court documents... http://thememoryhole2.org/blog/doe-v-trump The woman didn't have enough evidence nor $$ to persue the case. She dropped it, quite mysteriously, in 2016. She's since disappeared. Either Trump's henchmen scrubbed her records, gave her s boob job and some serious $ to "disappear" or she was snuffed.

Last night I went to listen to some live music and dance for a couple of hours.

So sorry that you had to end your story with "An angel must have been looking out for me."... You do know you're on Agnostic.com, right? Do you understand what it means to be agnostic? Sorry...no angels. Odds were in your favor. Alcohol made fewer brain cells work. The warning is there. Heed it.

Why is it we all try so hard when we are looking for a relationship with the opposite sex, we try to...

Robecology comments on Jul 7, 2019:

With the comfort of a relationship comes the attitude of assumptions of tolerance. It's also called "complacency". We assume that we're loved "just the way we are" so we get careless with our diet and exercise routines. Couple that with the abundance of junk foods available, the ads that favor consumption, and we have an obesity epidemic on our hands. Further couple that with...as we age our metabolism slows down. our desire for the fitness "high" wanes...and thus we "let ourselves go". http://www.slate.com/content/dam/slate/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2013/04/130417-MOTW-obesity-map.gif

Robecology comments on Jul 7, 2019:

@THHA; So all who align themselves with a party are "stupid"...In you opinion? And "Stop and think"...that's right up there with "Grow Up" and "Get a life". I think. I'm grown. I have a life. Do you know what a Troll is? A Troll, on social media, is "trolling for responses by throwing out "click-bait" to catch "suckers" - to the Troller can say he "caught" someone. OK...you caught me...feel better now, Troll? You ASSume that being associated with a party makes you support a military-industrial complex strategy? You ASSume wrong. Within both parties are "Doves" and "Hawks" If you don't "register" with one party or another, you don't get to vote in primaries...so many like that privilege. ...and no third party candidate has come along....ever...who's accomplished anything worth voing for. So call your names. Act upset and disgruntled. Stay home on voting day. That'll show us...how little you care, and what a Troll you are. BTW; Name calling is the lowest form of debate. Try offering reasons behind your opinions besides your "ASSumptions.

Robecology comments on Jul 7, 2019:

Sad. As an Egyptologist I'm shocked with the money exchanged for artifacts. Private holders of materials "looted" from Tombs should not be profiting from the sale of any artifacts.... ....but it's a sad, and somber reality.
