FcSeeker Resident: sorry Dash; didn't mean such much
Agatha Macbeth: I can imagine
Dash Earthboy: drought conditions had people not using fireworks much
Dash Earthboy: but some insisted shooting off stuff even last night
Agatha Macbeth: Well, looks like the drought ended with a vengeance
Dash Earthboy: we really need slow soaking rains for our flora
Ewan Bonham: Yes, here it is to rain all day and night..
Agatha Macbeth nods
Dash Earthboy: where's that Ewan?
Ewan Bonham: SW Florida..
Dash Earthboy: just south of me then
Dash Earthboy: yes the radar is very colorful
Ewan Bonham: Oh, Dash, are you on the east coast?

Dash Earthboy: have only had one real close lightning strike this past hour
Agatha Macbeth rubs her ear
Dash Earthboy: good time for me to be inside in RL relaxing here w/y'all
Agatha Macbeth: True enough Dash
FcSeeker Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Just keep the fans on
Dash Earthboy: done !
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Dash Earthboy: i installed ceiling fans w/lights when I first moved in :)
Dash Earthboy: and use those compact florescents since 2005
Dash Earthboy: cooler and brighter
FcSeeker Resident: :)))
Dash Earthboy: and less electric usage :)
Agatha Macbeth: Are those the ones that save on electric?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah ok
Dash Earthboy: snap
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed :)
Ewan Bonham: Yes, that is a mixed bag...
Ewan Bonham: They are hard to dispose cause of mercury..
Dash Earthboy: yah
Dash Earthboy: fortunately they have lasted a long, long time
Dash Earthboy: i take good care of things
Agatha Macbeth: Good job too!
FcSeeker Resident: <3
Dash Earthboy: have had some debates with guests about not turning the lights on and off within just a few minutes
Agatha Macbeth: ♥
Dash Earthboy: incandescents can handle short use, but florescents need longer periods of burning & cooling for their health
Agatha Macbeth nods
Dash Earthboy: funny, the ones who criticize me for leaving the lights on for a few minutes are the ones who sit out in the street blocking traffic with their cars running while they talk to each other
Agatha Macbeth: Isn't it always the way?
Dash Earthboy: yep :)
Dash Earthboy: ask not what the Self can do for you; ask what you can do for your Self :)
Agatha Macbeth: Thought we were supposed to drop it? :p
Dash Earthboy: ;)
Dash Earthboy: oh right, detach detach...
Agatha Macbeth drops her self and watches it splinter
Dash Earthboy: or, as translated in the KJV New Testament "hate, hate"
Agatha Macbeth: I missed that bit
Dash Earthboy: one example, where the translation is "unless a man hate his father & mother..."
Dash Earthboy: the proper translation was for the concept of detaching
Dash Earthboy: the KJV is just the worst translation I've found
Agatha Macbeth: Does seem a bit extreme I agree
Ewan Bonham: Yes...and can only be seen with today'slevel of maturation..
Dash Earthboy: like when the commandment says "Thou shalt not kill"
    --BELL--
Dash Earthboy: the proper translation is "thou shalt not murder"
Dash Earthboy: makes a BIG difference to many lives
Dash Earthboy: explains how the same Yahweh told the Israelites to go out and slaughter enemies in war
Dash Earthboy: but not murder their fellow citizens for gain
Agatha Macbeth: I see
Dash Earthboy: things can be clearer with good translations in the proper context
Agatha Macbeth: There's a difference between killing and murder then?
Dash Earthboy: yes
Dash Earthboy: not all killing is murder
Dash Earthboy: while all murder is killing
Agatha Macbeth: Legally speaking
Dash Earthboy: makes a BIG difference
Agatha Macbeth: Well, I agree 'thou shalt not manslaughter' sounds a bit clumsy
Dash Earthboy: i'm not a vegan :)
Dash Earthboy: i hunt
Dash Earthboy: when I hunt I kill
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe you need to kill to eat
Dash Earthboy: important to be accurate in word as well as with firearms
Agatha Macbeth: Like cats do
FcSeeker Resident: dreams about time when all wars are against bad things...
Dash Earthboy: yes Aggers, I am a Leo :)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, right :p
FcSeeker Resident: not so that people kill each other
FcSeeker Resident: such time has been promised to come
Dash Earthboy: when I fish, I also kill
Dash Earthboy: and yes, some call that murder
Agatha Macbeth: Yep
Agatha Macbeth: Fishslaughter
Dash Earthboy: :)
Dash Earthboy: not sure if i've told you Aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Mm?
Dash Earthboy: but part of my emphasis on accurate words & definitions
Ewan Bonham: I think most cultures would call that survival and thatthe spiritof the animal was meant to be sacrificed for a greater good..
Dash Earthboy: comes from my working with teaching computers to understand voice commands & dictation
Dash Earthboy: as well as regular programming
Dash Earthboy: i'
FcSeeker Resident: or not even sacreficed but given for human with the spirit of the fish
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh, that must be tricky
Dash Earthboy: i've developed expert systems
Dash Earthboy: and one needs to have an idea what each stroke means and that includes anticipated user input
Agatha Macbeth: Right
