    I agree...but hah...I caught you...finally... new/knew... just kidding, of course...I have a soft spot in my heart for people that are so massively intelligent that on occasion they make silly mistakes...because they just don't care...

    I've been misspelling occasion/ocassion since i can remember...just can't stop

    Actually, I do care a great deal about my spelling, my grammar and my use of punctuation. I have therefore already corrected the mistake in my previous post.

    But that said, it wasn't so much a spelling mistake as it was a mere typo. I'm a touch-typist, so I don't look at my hands while I'm typing, and it happens sometimes that my fingers aren't pressing down hard enough on the keys of my keyboard, even though this particular keyboard here doesn't take a lot of effort to type on ─ it's a Cherry G81-3000 Professional Line. But sometimes I type with a cigarette in my hand and then I don't press down hard on the keys ─ so as to prevent ashes from falling down into the gaps between the keys ─ or as may also happen quite often, I might be typing with my right hand only while my left hand is firmly keeping the cigarette above the ashtray. And then that sort of typos occurs.

    But if we're going to be pedantic, the pronoun "I" must always be spelled in uppercase in the English language.

    Fortunately, Aragorn, you have proven (again) that you are not AI (as Shane had suspected and had told me so). Shane's case for such was all and only based on your (near... and I mean 99.999999%) record in perfect spelling and (to the best of my own education - note: I attended the 'elite' prep school, The Hill School (there's a reason I added that... and this is the hint)) pretty darn perfect grammar to boot.

    Thanks for 'busting him' NAP.
    All the above is all and only my opinion. It may contain some sharing of components of my current operating strategy and some foundational components of my current world view - all subject to change and not meant to be true for anyone else regardless of how I phrase it.

    It's just a ride

    Well, there are also those three video conferences I partook in, in July 2017. I look very human in those, don't I?

    Has anyone seen three lights move in alignment across the sky?

    I just saw that a short while ago. As it happens my son and husband were out with me and also saw them. They travelled all the way across the sky, unlike the satellite I saw a short bit later which faded out of sight.

    My son got out his phone app of stars and satellites and nothing was indicated to be there.

    There was a whole load of new satellites launched into orbit by SpaceX a few days ago, and people all over have been reporting seeing a "strangely aligned constellation" as a result.

    A short excerpt ─ only about 11 minutes ─ of an interview Abby Martin did of Richard Wolff. This particular passage is about Jordan Peterson's use of the term "cultural Marxism".

    The real truth is that the right doesn't fear Marxism or even socialism, they fear justice over law and they fear fairness over selfish ownership.

    Trees show their true selves in dreams on a regular basis. They bloom, flower, fruit, fill with lights, and more.

    The mainstream media is reporting on UFOs again. NYT again. The reaction of folks is rather like crickets.

    Because they can't handle it. It upsets their perfect ─ or what they perceive as perfect ─ and narrow view of reality.

    There is a pattern I've noticed.

    People want folks to spend hours researching things like agenda 21. And yet the same people don't want to spend five minutes keeping up with the world and it's developments.

    I think this stuff is really a distraction, to keep people from seeing what's already underway.

    Keep 'em busy with Urantia, Agenda 21, etc. It takes up a lot of time. Then they don't notice the changes going on. It's easier to manipulate people who are distracted and then blindsided.

    I could be wrong...

    heyyyy, watch what you say about Urantia...I read that book about 15-20 years ago and in my estimation it hasn't been thoroughly debunked yet...

    Though I will admit it is a HIGHLY flaky rendition of the nature of the Universe.
