birdingnut comments on Apr 15, 2018:
I'm VERY picky and specific in the hobbies of prospective dates. If they can't join me in body surfing the waves, hiking, climbing cliffs, ballroom dancing and riding horses, then what's the point of dating them? I can do these things fine by myself, but just wanted a companion/side-kick.
birdingnut replies on Apr 16, 2018:
@DuchessNyx YUP. I love to do those things all the time and if the person wasn't up for it, he can find a more typical female.

A swan like no other. Wow, what a beauty.
birdingnut comments on Apr 15, 2018:
Beautiful. But in the US, the mute swan is an invasive species that destroys the habitat for native swan species. It is NOT welcome here.
birdingnut replies on Apr 16, 2018:
@BettyColeman Responsible birders don't promote or feed such invasive species as House Sparrows, European Starlings, Mute Swans, etc. Since novice birders don't always know that, more informed people routinely inform them so they won't augment the problems by feeding them.

@DerekD One thing we did with my elderly dad when he was in a wheelchair and in diapers was to privately hire a caretaker to come in for 5-6 hours each day. This was in eastern KY where many such people are willing to earn extra cash taking care of the elderly and handicapped.
The costs to us were minimal..we only paid a couple of dollars above the minimum wage per hour, but that trumped the wages of most low level jobs in that area. In our case, the caretaker asked for cash, to avoid tax problems and because that was the usual arrangement in that area, but dunno what your circumstances are.

Digitalis comments on Apr 15, 2018:
Please demonstrate your evidence for the existence of ghosts. You should not assume the cause of unexplained phenomena is the result of supernatural forces. Isn't that the cruxt of religion?
birdingnut replies on Apr 15, 2018:
Yet I've seen stuff that can't be explained..in Haiti (land of Voodoo) objects floating in the air,
rocks throwing themselves at our roof,
the sound of footsteps running down our hall or the thunder of someone kicking our walls.
objects disappearing then reappearing a week later in some bizarre place.
People waking up in the night choking.
Places in the house being ice cold with the reek like that of a dead body, and dogs barking frantically when they passed those places.
In those cases, I was still religious, and blamed evil spirits. But I could also see it as negative energy, activated by the beliefs of observers. I was able to get rid of such dark manifestations by
1.ignoring them
2.laughing at them
3.calmly telling the manifestations to STOP-even mentally. I was always obeyed, since we participate in creating our own universes.

@Loud_Love I think men respond this way to artistic beauty more than women do; studies show that most male traits are on the right hemisphere of the brain- the side that appreciates art and music, but doesn't "talk," as the left side does.
Just watching "Pretty Woman" last night on Netflix, when they reached the opera scene, the music made me start sobbing.

Don't worry..people usually don't pay attention to things that don't directly affect them. I was clueless about gender issues until 2014, when I realized I was a partial transmale..that motivated me to do some research, and catch myself up to speed on such things.

birdingnut replies on Apr 12, 2018:
@Beach_slim (sigh) You seem to be equating someone's bio body with their gender identity.
There are intersex people (people with genitals that can't be readily identified as male or female, or have the characteristics of both..i.e., a male with breasts), although they are rare, but even they have a preferred gender identity.
People have a biological birth gender,
a chromosomal gender (they could look female, but have XXY chromosomes, for instance)
a gender identity..what gender they "know" they are. Part of me "knows" he is male, but because I take derris scandens, a local Thai herb, it blends my gender modes so that I only feel androgynous (mixed gender) now.
I'm "nonbinary" because I don't strongly identify with either gender. A recent study found that 20% of Millennials identify as nonbinary.
a social gender identity-how the person present in public. I dress androgynously, although if I increase the derris scandens I dosages take, I can tolerate some female clothes and jewelry.
How they behave: My behavior is a blend of female and male, which matches my clothing and gender identity. I look like a delicate little female, a 65 year old woman, but if you were to try to keep up with me, you'd be shocked.
I can out-hike, out-shoot, out-ride (horses and motorbikes), out-shoot (only at targets), and generally outdo most men at many things, and men who try to hike with me never ask again.
This makes me a bit scary for normal males, but I attract men who love daring adventurous types.

@Gnarloc That's not what the medical papers I read said. They did say to SAY what you just quoted, warning that they'd be sued and run out of town if people knew the truth.
I even read that sort of stuff in medical journals in the 1970s that were lying on the end tables in doctor's offices. Go ahead and trust them, if you like. I don't trust them or the US government..have you even read the Wikileaks papers, where Hillary transcripts show her plotting with the GMO owners on how to deceive the public. WAKE UP. Or go back to sleep. Whatever.

Anything written by Robert A. Heinlein, and most of the John Scalzi books.
Also, indie author Misha Burnett's Catskinner novel series.
birdingnut replies on Apr 12, 2018:
@Adorkable His most famous, popular work is Stranger in a Strange Land, which I'm currently rereading for the umpteenth time, and which is credited for the 1960s-70s free love era. I had a "Heinlein" attack a few days ago and have been reading one Heinlein book after another..Between Planets, Farmer in the Sky, Tunnel in the Sky, etc.
My favorite Jon Scalzi books are the Old Man's War series, but they're all good. I bought all those books again on Kindle after I moved to Thailand

At 65, I was riding motorbikes, riding the waves, climbing mountains and cliffs, hiking daily, wading swamps to take bird/wildlife photos, etc. I have been so strong that most men won't hike with me after one attempt.

@Louie406 Dunno. I had vaccinations, but only after I was older. They keep adding more "required" baby vaccinations, and according the data I accessed, unknown to the medical society, every time the vaccinations were increased, there was a corresponding leap in reported autism. I didn't vaccinate my kids, but they were home schooled until middle school when I was divorced and had to work, and by then they were old enough that the vaccinations didn't seem to harm them.

birdingnut replies on Apr 11, 2018:
@alxa I'm talking about gender traits. People are on a gender trait spectrum..studies show that even the most "macho men" and "femme women" are only have about 80% of their birth gender's traits. Everyone is ultimately a gender blend..it just depends on how much. An online gender identity test showed me at 60% male in brain mapping, and that's about right.
Many people don't seem to realize that the old binary idea of someone who is "male" or "female" speaking for "all" males or females is a fallacy. Studies show that male traits are mostly on the right side of the brain hemisphere and female traits on the left.

Anyone want secular daycare and pre school?
birdingnut comments on Apr 10, 2018:
I disagree with both daycare and preschool. Also bottles, baby food jars, public school in general, and most things US people seem to accept as normal.
But, even if people use daycare, unless they used a church-affiliated childcare, these places are already secular.
birdingnut replies on Apr 11, 2018:
@Virgoan But it's detrimental anyway. Studies show that children who are cuddled and touched a lot grow up to be nonviolent and kind. Nursed children also acquire brain connections that never happen with bottle fed babies. They probably don't get much nurturing in a daycare center. But people need to work, so I hope they continue the trend to allow flex working hours and remote work.

I used to be gender fluid, moving from one gender perspective to the other.
In male mode, I could fall hopelessly in love just from a woman's looks, while my female side is picky, only choosing the most advantageous mates.
I didn't even know that "falling in love" was real..thinking it was some commercial thing until I realized in 2014 that I'm transmale and stopped suppressing my male side.
I soon found myself in love, besotted, and allowing my female love interest to treat me terribly.

In their eyes, they are hot. They constantly say horrible, scatological things, show little concern for the feelings of their former wives.

Perhaps you are strongly psychic and was feeling the beginning of astral projection. I've done than a number of times, but usually when lying down.
birdingnut replies on Apr 10, 2018:
@DaveSchumacher Possibly. The times I experienced astral projection, I actually went up to the roof, saw my body on the bed, then went on through the ceiling and went off to some other place or dimension, because all the "people" I knew were there. Or their soul energy was, I suppose. I remembered several past lives, and the "inbetween place" since childhood, so didn't think much of it. It just seemed normal.

What's your gender?
alxa comments on Apr 9, 2018:
It's notable that 'transwoman' is not a gender. The two main genders are female and male -- trans women ARE simply women, and trans men ARE simply men. (Unless we're using silly gender essentialist definitions here)
If a person is something other than man/woman, they are usually classed as ...
birdingnut replies on Apr 10, 2018:
It can be more complicated than that. The gender binary isn't absolute-like everyone in one gender is not the same as all the others, but we are all on a gender spectrum.
For transwomen, for instance, they missed the experience of periods and childbirth, being treated as a second class citizen, etc. I have many transwomen friends, and they do NOT think like women, although they all claim to. Same as I might be partial transmale but own mind is influenced enough by female hormones to be very different from them.
I don't slaughter animals, for example, but I do hunt them to take photos of them. Yet in part of my mind, I've always been a male, and I certainly have many male mannerisms hard-wired into my personality.
I'm androgynous, and a partial transmale. Before I learned to take the Thai muscle relaxer herb, derris scandens, I was bigender, or gender fluid, moving from one gender perspective to the other. It was confusing, and I couldn't remember what I had done when I was in the opposite gendermode, so thought people were dreadful liars.
The derris scandens blended my two gender modes and also eliminated both dyslexia symptoms, and dysphoria..for ME. I don't know why it works, or if it will help anyone else, but it's sold on Amazon.

But this is from the Fish and Wildlife Conservation website: There is no good reason to kill a snake except in the unlikely situation of a venomous snake posing immediate danger to people or pets. Snakes usually bite people only if they are molested; it's their only means of self-defense. Even a venomous snake in the woods or crossing the road poses no threat and should be left alone.

@GoldenDoll It works. It stopped my parents from attacking me and my kids every time we came over. Every time my dad started accusing us of something I'd say, "Look at the time," and we'd leave. it only took two weeks before my mom would hush my dad whenever he started insulting us.
If you act all lovey-dovey, clingy, etc., they will only continue to blackball you. That is also the same technique cis hetero women use to make men behave. Sadly, I'm so masculine, I can't do that, so my men have always disrespected and cheated on me, when a normal woman would have thrown their stuff on the lawn and changed the locks.

birdingnut replies on Apr 4, 2018:
@NoTimeForBS There are some shootings and bombings there, but I taught one term in Narathiwat, and I was fine. in fact, it was so cool at the school because the Buddhist and Muslim students each took turns leading the chants in the morning, and everyone got along. There was a Hindu temple across from the school.

I am one of those who does "all year cleaning". Every so often you can see me driving to the Salvation Army with an old lamp or a bag of clothes.
birdingnut replies on Apr 4, 2018:
@MollyBell I sure do. And I plan to boycott them when I get back to the US. I usually give to Goodwill anyway.

I follow the advice of the book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing," by Marie Condo.

birdingnut replies on Apr 4, 2018:
@jacpod Her advice is to do the entire house for each item category at the same time instead of cleaning out one closet at a time. Pile everything together of the same kind, brought from every corner of the house.
Maybe you have pairs of scissors in several drawers, your shelves, and more in different rooms. She says to gather all the scissors from all over the house and decide on two or three, then give away the rest.
When you do your shoes, bring them all out, from every closet, etc.

42 days..twice. Plus I used to routinely fast one day a week, or sometimes a week. I still fast 11 hours each day..by skipping lunch.
birdingnut replies on Apr 4, 2018:
@Kassie I just stopped eating. You lose your appetite after two days anyway, but the annoying part is running on keytones, and having a MUCH lower energy output. Instead of wanting to go jogging, I felt more like slow strolls and playing checkers. You're fine, but weaker.
But after about 40 days, your appetite comes back, and that's when I start to break the fast. It takes as long as the fast, however, to incrementally ease back into your normal diet.

How many days until you didn't miss it? How much weight did you lose?
birdingnut replies on Apr 4, 2018:
On a fast, I lose my appetite after about two days, and that's the problem..getting back on food after an extended fast. It takes just as long to get off a fast as the fast itself took. You start with juice, get to solid fruit, then gradually add raw foods, then eventually cooked food, but if you try to rush things you can get very sick.

Not true. I've been on two 40-day fasts to get rid of DDT toxins and birth control hormones in my system. Many places in Europe have fasting centers where people are cured of almost anything, even mental illness. Just google it. I also fast every day, skipping the noon meal and going 11 hours between meals. For instance, I eat at breakfast at 7 AM, and dinner at 6 PM. I've been doing fasts since the 1970s.

Since Einstein and the Laws of Thermodynamics taught us that everything is ultimately energy, that space and time is an illusion, and no energy can be created or destroyed, that means we have always existed, and will always exist in some energy form.

Paranormal Experiences?
Fulishsage comments on Apr 2, 2018:
There's a possibility if you believe string theory. Most paranormal activity is fairly easy to explain though. I use to go ghost hunting, almost every time there was a plausible explanation for the things that happened. It is amazing what the human mind can make you believe you saw or heard.

Since everything is ultimately made of energy, energy can't be created or destroyed, and time and space are only illusions, that means we've always existed and will always exist in some energy form. Of course there could be "ghosts."
Many young children in studies done of 2-6 year old children worldwide who remembered their past lives, remembered being ghosts between incarnations, described what they did and who they saw, and the accuracy of these events were verified.

They tell the same stories, similar names, except from the perspective of aliens, who genetically engineered humans by blending their DNA with that of human apes. In the story of Noah, for instance, the Sumerians showed their favorite human, Noah, how to build a submarine, then put the DNA of all the animals in it, instead of the actual animals.
