Added another moist for emphasis.

Side note: humble brag…I speak and moderate periodically at conferences. My friends give me a list of 5 words to slide into my speech. Moist was one of them. That’s the hardest word to just slip into (as it were) a presentation. I was successful.

Used to clean toilets, vacuum, mop and buff floors, clean windows, build bicycles. Loved it all.

This may not apply, (as I know I’m simply saying a commercial product got worse as it had revisions) but Jawbone’s first earbud/headset used a small rubber conductor to evaluate skull vibration for noise canceling ( and likely there was some ANC using incoming mic audio from external sources). They continued to include a rubber bumper but I think the device leaned more on incoming audio from mics rather than from the rubber bumper. The oldest device presented the best noise canceling even after 3 product changes. I used every version until they stopped making headsets. I miss my Jawbone. I still have my OG.

Muadib.

That sounds great. I love me some rice and beans. TY

How do you do rice and beans together? I know I could GTS but I like people’s personal take on things.

Can I suggest a bidet wand? Super easy to install and great for the messy poo.

I’d at least get one with a motherboard from a reputable company and install my own Win/Linux build. Too much chance for bad actors otherwise.

Listen Linda… Sometimes you go to HD, buy stuff, and then forget you have to get it home.

I used to make the rounds in the largest libraries around me. I’d find the coziest spot to hide in. At Uni I’d find a good study cubby and hide there. Napping also helps with a nice jacket on.

I suspect it depends on the school. Also I think it depends on the student’s needs and intentions. Tai chi can be very effective against many competing styles.

I practice “internal” and “external” kung fu and first things first… All real kung fu is both. If your Shifu is teaching both the internal and external aspects of the art then you are getting the full experience. Any martial art was developed for fighting, however there can be a very fulfilling experience when you connect the mind and body during training and execution. It sounds like your teacher has you on a good path.

May I suggest that tai chi is very much a combative fighting style that simply has a larger audience with two chi for health. All of the forms can be sped up and effectively used as a martial art.

Thanks.

I just feel terrible that I hurt a dog and don’t know how to react. I know it wasn’t on purpose but I get sad if I run over a squirrel in the road.

Thank you.

My other kid had a good perspective. He said if our dog ran out into the road unleashed we wouldn’t expect anything out of a driver who hits the dog.

USA?

That is helpful. Thank you.
