๐ Ran across this pretty cool recipe:
I'm 68 and started working at 15. That's 53 years of steady employment, though not at the same place. I'm not a career person, nor do I stick to one occupation. The longest job I've had was 13 years, running an overnight freight crew. 13 years of graveyard shifts really screws with your body clock. In just the 70s alone I worked in a Texas gas station, was a cop, was vice-president of a security company, then joined the Army. A varied work life.
An excellent read!

I know Iโm following several of you โin the knowโ people. Whatโs the best way for me to keep an eye out for when the site is ready for me to support you by #gopro
Anyone who tells you he's a genius or doesn't object to being called one, isn't. Albert Einstein consistently denied being a genius, he said that he was "simply very curious."
The same principle applies to "enlightenment". If anyone ever tells you THAT, run for the hills.
I give the stinkeye to "zen masters" ALL the time.
Well participated in my 1st #cosocall and I enjoyed it very much.
doooooooooo eeeeeeeeet...

Welcome. Nice to have another dragon. Both of you will love it here. This is how internet was supposed to work. J has built what you describe. It will be a cultural change for many of the newcomers.
I have been 'online' since before public Internet. I have seen a dream go to waste, in many cases, but still have faith that it can be an avenue for productivity.
I believe we can turn this platform into a respectable, responsible place for us to seek recreation and enjoy ourselves & celebrate technology for its learning potential, rather than ruin it through abuse.
If you stand with me, I'd like to be your friend! ๐
I have not mentioned race or gender because it is unimportant, in most cases. I see people as 'energy' - hearts / minds, rather than colors / cultures. That energy is important. I believe it truly determines how we interact in Life with others. You have seen those favored by the status quo be cancelled as well as those not in favor rise up. I firmly believe this can happen for all.
I am human, so...not perfect. I make mistakes but I own them. I prefer others who do the same. (Cont'd)
A little more about me (I feel safe here):
I'm American by birth and Irish/Ukrainian by heritage. I served in the US Army and was at NASA for over a decade. I have lived in 4 nations with 4 separate forms of government. I speak all/part of 9 languages. I studied religion for over 30 years from full-gospel churches in America's South to masjids in Malaysia and temples in China. I am not a Theist, but also not a hypocrite. I made this choice much like others have the right to do so. (Cont'd)
