I've never in my life made a joke about the feminine menstrual cycle. There's nothing funny about it. You know you did - you played along with the others who said about 'that monthly' thing. Jokes are funny - a joke pretty much is making a witticism at someone else's expense. Sometimes it's ill-advised depending on the timing and the situation and the individual(s). You didn't just fall off the proverbial turnip truck. As far as I know, I was the first to notice the apparent monthly cycle, and i know what I meant by it. I actually related it to the lunar cycle and not a menstrual cycle. How is it you think you know better what I meant?

This reminds me that you're completely incorrigible, believing yourself to be irreproachable. As long as you play it that way, then don't be surprised if 'that time of the month' for the bear happens on a daily basis. You want me to agree with your self deception and giraffes, and then you won't see me as arrogant, mocking, self deceiving, incorrigible or hypocritical. I can't do that because it's against everything I'm doing here, so I guess it will be ongoing conflict or ignoring. But, you've said yourself that you can't possibly see your own self-deception. So, I guess it means ongoing conflict. I'm not ignoring it, which is why I even mention it. I've said before that my only mission is to see what's going on, and to be okay with it. In this case, it means being okay with hypocrites. If that means going to war with them, then so be it.

How is it you think you know better what I meant? There was a handful of you guys joking about 'the monthly' thing! It's a little hard to believe that you all weren't referring to - whether subtly or not - it most assuredly went through most of your minds when you all were joking back and forth. It's not the end of the world, but once a jokester learns that it bothers someone, they would do well to just apologize. Is that the end of the world to apologize - even if you in your heart of hearts never meant it - you gotta figure at least one of you peeps joking around was thinking it. That's all I'm saying.

Not to mention men also have a cycle. Men deal with testerone as women deal with estrogen and progesterone. Nowhereman

In terms of the psychology of wealth and the nature of absolutes, 50 billion USD is still a number, a limit, a finite amount of money. The question is, what is this number for a given person? How do they perceive this limit? How much money do they have to have to not perceive it as a limit for practical purposes? Depends on their horizon. For some the next Walmart is the limit, for some the sky is the limit. For some not even that. What I've noticed is that for new agers usually the next Walmart is the limit. That's a different game. That's competition. Well, Buffett has sleeples nights when his cash reserves are down to 20 billion, ye know. Because that's the minimum in his mind that will get him whatever he wants whenever he wants without having to sell and cash in something else. That's his comfort zone so to speak. John D. Rockerduck and friends are all tough cookies when it comes to saving a buck. Foundations are a way to get around paying taxes, ye know... Buffett once said that he pays less taxes than the woman that cleans his office.

Thank god it isn't one of those monster threads...I think it did me some good, because I realize there are things I read in the evenings that look different the next day, plus it must've been another thread where they were going on about B and Mr. G - I do admit my emo-side colored what I was reading the other night. Body pains, too, can color things differently, too.

Greetings.. You know you did - you played along with the others who said about 'that monthly' thing. Jokes are funny - a joke pretty much is making a witticism at someone else's expense. Sometimes it's ill-advised depending on the timing and the situation and the individual(s). You didn't just fall off the proverbial turnip truck. As far as I know, I was the first to notice the apparent monthly cycle, and i know what I meant by it. I actually related it to the lunar cycle and not a menstrual cycle. How is it you think you know better what I meant?The same way you know what others mean when tell them they wrong.. Be well..

Body pains, too, can color things differently, too. From my perspective, that's an excellent realization. It's eggzakly what I spend so much time talking about because it's the most visible illusion and as non-woo woo as it gets.

YIKES! ... if all that really happened, sounds like a cult to me! I heard of a "Master" cutting a students ear off and the student got enlightened. What about the Zen Stick? Maybe a little torture would go a long way!

Maybe we charge them their whole life savings then tell them it was just a scam?
If that don't do it they must not want to be enlightened?
Then we use the stick! Just for fun.
