20 May 10 - 12:00 PM (#2910623) Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Bill D From: Little Hawk Happy birthday, Bill! I've got a whole bunch of great "spiritual" books you should check out ASAP in order to get a fresh viewpoint on things and escape the dry and dusty halls of philosophical/mental complexity. I suggest: 1. The Tao of Pooh 2. The Teh of Piglet 3. The Inner Tradition of Yoga 4. The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity (out of print now, I think) None of them say a word about "God", hell, heaven, or anything else like that...but I think you'd find them good reading. And to get a traditional North American Indian viewpoint, I suggest: "Seven Arrows" by Hyemeyosts Storm. (also out of print, but you can find used copies on Amazon, I should think) |

20 May 10 - 11:27 PM (#2911006) Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Bill D From: catspaw49 Glad I got the computer back before the day was over. I started reading the thread and wondered when someone was going to correct the age. Then Bill finally did it and got it wrong. I knew this because except for about a 3 week period, we're 10 years apart. I feared I had lost a year or two somewhere though since I generally agree with Bill on about everything. Damn near gave me heart failure......and I already have way too much of that! I hope you had a great day and have an even better week and an even better yet year. My best friend Karen sends her best to you and your best friend as well. I figure they both have some kind of genetic defect as they seem to not only tolerate us but they actually seem to love us too. Anyway............. Glad you've decided to celebrate every year rather than every ten as you once planned! Pat and Karen |

20 May 10 - 11:47 PM (#2911009) Subject: RE: BS: Happy birthday Bill D From: Bill D Thanks, Pat (& Karen)... I hope to stay 10 years ahead for 20-30 years. I have quit figgering why they tolerate me/us and just count my blessings. It's been a great day! Especially finding I had lost count, and get to stay 71 for another year! When I was in my late 20s-early 30s, I also lost track a little, and had to stop and actually think about it. I think it's sorta healthy NOT to be dwelling on the details, and just DOING stuff.....and I have a lot of wood that needs 'doing' in the next 2 weeks. Thanks to everyone for the good wishes.... |
