My bud at the hardware store came across a wood splitting wedge (sort of screw-shaped, but Big! He also tipped me off to attach a piece of leather to the sledgehammer. Works great! We needn't carry wood, gotta well.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Stripping the Gurus
Yes, our personality continues, and appropriately for each of us. It is meant to be that we continue to be ourselves. This idea that there is a prescribed way to act in a state of freedom, beyond what our natural desires tell us, is so weird - Reminds me of the new zombie craze, as if we are all to evolve, to our highest state, inside pale, over-vegetablized bodies, brows perpetually furrowed, speaking almost too softly to be heard, carrying flowers, and wearing truly painful smiles. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : On 09/20/2014 09:23 AM, fleetwood_macncheese@... mailto:fleetwood_macncheese@...
