Random Thoughts or Whatever

IMHO, and this may be unpopular opinion, but, if spirituality is the only way you have, to have any meaning in your life- you're already in trouble.

Spirituality can be helpful, at least to a good number of people- but self-governing principles based on logic, fairness and concrete assessment of what's around you, are also very important.

Gordon.
In order to avoid going into forbidden topics, I will just say I disagree with your first paragraph. I do however agree with your 2nd paragraph.

Uh huh. Depends on your definition, if not understanding and knowledge, of spirituality. Care to share?

My Friends, it may be for the best to let the "spirituality" thing rest. As we all know, spirituality & religion are pretty much "kissin cousins", and since we've already seen one thread implode this morning, we really don't wanna go and make it a twofer, now do we...... ;)

My random thought of the day, I hate when it's SO hot out that my eyelids get sticky (I'm at the part of the map to the North East of RI where the "feels like" is 102 degrees) :yikes:

Seconded ... the spirituality dealio, not the sticky eyeballs in HEAT ... don't think I've experienced that phenomenon.
 
My eyeballs don't get "sticky", but with the humidity, sweat and intensely bright sunlight- my eyes will get where they BURN like their on FIRE.

That oftentimes has to be my cue, to take a break, wash my face, and chill a bit.

I was thinking about taking Axl outside this afternoon, so I looked at the weather app and saw that the humidity had dropped. :thumbsup: However, there was a warning about air quality saying that it's not good for sensitive people. Well, no mention of how it might effect animals. There should be some mention of how it might effect cats, dogs and other animals that people might have as indoor/outdoor pets. Right now, the furry wrecking ball is napping on the couch next to me, so unless he shows interest in going outside, I guess I will keep him in. He always wears himself out when I take him on a walk which is the first order of business when I get to my friend's house. He tries to walk me and still hasn't learned that trying to walk me isn't going to work.

People claim that Rottweilers are very intelligent. If that's true, then Axl most definitely landed in the shallow end of the gene pool. He's just not very bright. He keeps wrapping his leash around trees and can't untangle himself. After I walk him back around, he binds himself up again and can't figure out how to undo his mess.
 
Woke up this morning and wasn't sure what day of the week this is. The go to computer has only the time and not the date shown in the bottom right hand corner. Went to set up and can't find how to get the date to show also Found out it is Saturday. Hooray, will get to sleep in tomorrow.

They are smart, he's playin' ya. It's a control thing.

I guess I could believe that if not for the long list of other dumb things he does, like attacking leaves blowing in the wind and never recognizing them or trying to attack a seagull that was minding its own business and at least 100 feet away from us. He grew up here on the Cape, the seagull capitol of the world.

He's probably just a good dog doing what happy dogs do.

Winding his leash around a pole or tree. I have to brag a bit, the little eight pound dog in my avatar figured out on his own about the leash and poles. On the other hand he has to hike on everything, so much he has earned the nickname Pierre, pronounce Pee Air, other than that his name is Buster. Hikes all the time every where when outside. Half poodle, half chihuahua and a bit of Terrier, one hundred ten percent dog.
