I think there are often two definitions of words. The Christian one and the worldly one. Just a few off the top of my head: "Party"; "Date"; "Independent"; "Love". I have seen people who were lost but since had gotten saved get triggered by the use of some of those words, just due to their...

I know this is an old thread, but this morning I saw an article that made me think of the discussion and everything. https://canadiangeographic.ca/articles/profile-in-courage-the-canadian-man-who-saved-a-woman-from-the-jaws-of-a-polar-bear/ The story brought tears to my eyes, and I felt it...

Incidentally, I downloaded a popular mobile game about zombies, and I love it. Not because of the zombies, but because it is a microcosm of real life. The game rules are sparse, therefore people make their own rules. Which works EXTREMELY WELL most of the time. The territory I am in developed a...

I think the biggest problem in zombie bunkers is infighting. So maybe I should set out on my own and be one of those nomads in an old drover coat with a sawed-off shotgun and a Bowie knife shoved into my belt.

I seem to have developed cyclical habits that follow the seasons. I go to bed late and get up early in the spring, go to bed early and get up late in the summer, go to bed early and get up early in the fall, and go to bed at a normal hour and get up at a normal hour in the winter. I am in tune...

I would like to state for the record that I would much rather meet 17Bees in the woods than a bear. I know he wouldn't steal my picnic basket.

Sounds like you want an excuse to get all gussied up, my good man. :P

Gladly. First of all, can you tell the sex of a bear right off from seeing it in the woods? Are you going to ask it if it identifies as a male or female bear? It could be a hermaphrodite after all. Furthermore, if you and I were hiking in the woods and I suddenly yell "BEARRR!" I highly doubt...

I think "meeting a man in the woods" generally means a stranger. If I saw someone I knew in the woods I wouldn't phrase it like that. I take the question as random bear vs. random man.

Social media is jumping with the following question: would you rather encounter a strange man or a bear in the woods? I would love to hear any and all points of view, and I would hope that no one gets upset or defensive at any genuine response. I am not looking for any particular answer, just...

You smoked weed too?? Heathens, one and all.

This reminds me of a story. Once I went to a wedding and the line to park the cars was immense. just took forever. Then I went inside and needed to use the restroom. That line was extremely long as well. finally I got out and decided to get some punch. and there's no punchline.

Timely thread! I just stepped in the house, I was at my little orchard. I had set up a bluebird house at the edge of the woods by the orchard and noticed it was crooked. I went over to straighten it and a flying squirrel popped out and stared at me. I guess he (or she) blinked first because it...

Here is a link to the article. https://slate.com/technology/2021/06/kidney-transplant-dialysis-race-adjustment.html I hope there is a bit of spin on it, I hope the article is wrong. But if the article is accurate I find it very unfair.

I think people will always be curious about their ancestors, and that is a good normal thing. Also it does matter a bit for certain medical reasons, I read an article about a young man trying to get a kidney transplant and the hospital wouldn't put him on the donor list because he had a small...
