@ NoThreat2U:
Words of wisdom, sent from a friend:
You need to understand that every act is an accomplishment of some value. Nothing you do is too small or too large to be excluded from the creative mix. Everything is compared in the eye of the beholder, and you are that person. You need not drown yourself in self praise, but the denial to any degree of recognition results in a self-inflicted wound that is unlikely to heal. If your creative stroke is the inhaling of Universal Power, then self applause is the responsive exhale. If this interaction is not here, then the breath of life is
stilled.”
I found this good to contemplate.

Not always. Sometimes the individual makes the decision to value their life, health and freedom more than their desire to use drugs. I can say this with 100 percent certainty because I am living proof. It was not jail or the threat of jail or institutionalization that made me quit.

Back then, a lot of stuff from the early part of the century was still lurking around in forgotten corners of the shelves of old pharmacies, or in their storerooms, and they were glad to get rid of it.
What’s amazing, though, is what they were willing to sell to a highschool kid.

Cucumbers are definitely Zionist. They are a staple of Jewish deli food whether in the raw state or as pickles.
There used to be a long distance and/or wireless phone company in Israel back in the early oughts that had a little

The melon proverb is quoted in John Loftus’ book
“The Secret War Against The Jews” about the collusion between
Western intelligence agencies, diplomats and the oil industry with the
Saudis and how that fostered the growth of anti-semitism in the 20th Century.
It’s in the first part of the book that covers Harold St. John Bridger Philby and his
involvement with putting the House of Saud on the throne of Arabia following the defeat
of the Ottoman Empire by the Brits in WW1.
Philby “went native” -- converted to Islam and was treated as member of the family by the Sauds,
who called him “Abdullah” and gave him access to the royal harem. This did not go over well with
his long suffering wife back in Britain, and had a negative impact on the development of his son, Kim,
who would go on to become an infamous Soviet double agent.
