Oh goodness (((everybody)))! It is my hope that by the time I post this, tires are fixed, ferrets are feeling better, and humans are too! Jeepers-- I have that happen sometimes. Usually ,it's when I've been good about remaining hydrated, it's like I'm full up. I literally will bend over for something, and there's suddenly water dripping out my nose. So weird, lol. I started Krav Maga last week-- First class Tuesday evening, then a second class on Saturday morning. It's really intense and rough, but I'm falling in love with it! It's grueling, and I swear the warm ups alone nearly kill me each time, followed by another 45 minutes of drills and scenario training. . . but . . . my intimidation is quickly getting replaced by anticipation. I'm not taking a class this evening, but I am going tomorrow evening, and I can't wait! I'm also pulling together meals-in-a-jar recipes for Christmas gifts-- since I'm a Thrive consultant, I'm planning on putting in an order in the next couple of days, and these types of gifts would both feed my loved ones when they need it, and also function as advertising, lol. So once I leave work, I've got a walk (with a few sprints sprinkled in) scheduled, then it's trash and the dishes!

Kinda nervous-- starting Krav Maga tonight. It's gonna be rough, but I'm kind of looking forward to it. I've been wanting to learn hand-to-hand combat/ marital arts for years, and things just sort of fell into place all in the last week. I formally signed up yesterday, and my first class is this evening. Praying for everyone, because life is. . . .life, yanno?

!! I had totally forgotten that, had to rund a search on my old self to find it! I might actually go back to that-- I think when I re-registered, it pulled my general Gravatar icon, which is a favorite anime character. But yeah, that icon is pretty cool!

Yes and thank you! My facebook feed . . . well, I thought it was rough before the election, but it's been downright brutal ever since. Glad that this place is one of the few non-political places where one can find some rest. . .

I got a great view of the moon this evening as I drove back from my BOL. The skies were perfectly clear, and the moon perfectly lovely! As for the EQ in NZ, while the moon and some other planetary geometry have a certain effect, the electromagnetic connection with the Sun also has a huge influence. If interested, check out the work of the Suspicious0bservers on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/Suspicious0bservers). They've gotten pretty good at predicting the timing of magnitude 6+ earthquakes, and in that past year, they started to predict the locations as well -- with interesting results!

thanks for the welcome, everybody! I'm happy to be back with you!!!

Hi everybody! Years ago, I used to post here kinda regularly (as Zophiel), then I moved into a new house and got really bsy for a while, during which time my email was hacked and some other things happened. I've joined some local groups where I'm suddenly the person everyone turns to for guidance, and so many times, I've responded starting "Well, I remember when I was active on a forum of really smart people, and they would. . . " So I finally got my crap together, and re-signed up, because I keep falling back to all the things I learned from you bunch, and it would be good to be back in contact again! Glad to be back with y'all!!!
