never put me to sleep first (as an adult).

Nitrous doesn't put you to sleep. It has, to me, an effect very similar to cannabis/indica strains. Relaxed, worry-free, sort of spaced out but totally conscious. Makes the guided meditation work better. (Unlike cannabis, which has to "wear off", 5 minutes of oxygen after the nitrous has you as sober as a judge.) My dentist, ,who I have really liked for the 35 years I've been seeing him, has worked very hard with me over the years to make dental work possible. I have huge anxiety about having anything except food in my mouth, and although I have a typically higher female pain tolerance, it completely plummets in my head area. I can't cope with earaches or tooth pain to any degree.

Hi all, happy Friday! Glad the weekend is finally here. Time to relax.

 

[Waterfall]

Interesting picture nebulous. Hope your weekend goes well.

 

[Carolla]

Not relaxing here - shampooing carpets & tidying up yard & garden in prep for colder weather! But now I might jump in that hammock!

 

[Nebulous]

Hey all, hope all is well!

 

[Nebulous]

Just stopping by to say hello! I have a 3 day weekend so that's awesome. How are we all doing today?

 

[BetteTheRed]

When you are retired, there are lots of three day weekends, but enjoy!

Finished a project today that I started a couple of weeks ago:. Expanding a garden bed along the south southeast wall of the garage and putting a gutter between it and the grass. Most tedious was separating most of the dirt from the grass and weeds that I dug up.

Meeting day so I am kind of wasted. My weekly team meeting, two hour budget review, ISO 9000 certification meeting.

I am having mixed feelings about retiring. Today is one of those days I can't wait. Other days, when I look at some of the exciting projects that could happen over the next 3-5 years, I kind of feel like hanging in there. Right now, I am looking at 2025 when I turn 60.

 

[jimkenney12]

Mendalla, you are still young.

Hanging in there!!!! It is reported that a noose was found at the Obama Library Project ... maybe meant to support something mysterious and what powers cannot grasp and thus remains irrational in their minds like hate ... and still they dispense it without any control though they'd like to control everything else they state in their declaration of avarice!

From there the complexity stacks up even deeper that Eve herself when falling on man with obscurity of the nth degree! Does this force the power of man into far out processing? Imagine that steroid daze ...

What I did, when I reached full pension, was declare myself at P-1-10 status. Piss me off once, 10 seconds later, I'm gone. I drifted for about a year and a half, sort of hoping to make it to 30 years (I had 29.5), then P happened, and I left.

Can't relate

I won't be able to retire for a very, very long time. I am in my late 30's.

Those years will go by more quickly than you are thinking right now. Time has a way of speeding up on us!

It is insidious exponential ism ... a belief that we are inflated! Thus the bubble person theme ...

Yes, I had to eat humble pie last week. Got a call from my vet saying Lucy was due for her rabies shot. I argued with the poor woman, insisting that Lucy had just had her rabies shot in June/July, but promised to go looking for paperwork to check. Of course, she was right, and I was wrong. Where did the months between last November and June go?

I like to think so, but my joints sometimes argue otherwise. Retiring at 60 is mostly me realizing that I'm no longer the sharpest tool in the shed where IT is concerned. I'm mostly focussed on management these days and getting less and less capable of keeping up with the kids I employ (my employees are all millennials and GenZ who grew up with computers, vs. me being Gen X and not encountering them until high school). And, of course, wanting to focus more time on to things like my writing.

If one is converted to a state of pure thought will this cause great acceleration to the fringe of visibility?

May explain the dark zones on either side of the IR, or UV Bands ... spectral anal cis? For science a**holes according to the stoics! They refuse to flair or flare well ... it is just the way it is in the abstract as representative of the unknown psyche ... a dippy domain!


Scares the crap out of those well established ...

 

[Nebulous]

Hi all, how's it going?

 

[Northwind]

Good morning. It's grey a drizzly today. I'll probably do this around the house today.
