h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It sounds like you had a rough time are you folly recovered now.
Some herbal mixtures taste awful whats yours like.

I have not seen Tin Tin whats it like it has had mixed reviews here,

bob, i was a smoker until 2 years ago
when a combination of mold, a weird flu and bronchitis felled me overnight...
and someone vacuuming while i was sitting in the room...
i started coughing
and it wouldnt stop...
i didnt even know i had bronchitis
i had just a cough in the morning
that i had had for a few years

terrible things ensued; i almost suffocated a time or two a night for some nights over a 2-3 week period
it was very scary
and they said, finally, that i had COPD
with scarring on the lower lungs

and here... use this inhaler everyday for the rest of your life
and i tried it but it was very very weird
and i felt like it was just a... shimming of a broken spar on the bridge
not cureful

lost 40 lbs
had to leave maui
and still had the weird flu a year later

i went on for so many years (42) (hahaha)
thinking i was all good
smoking natural cigarettes
yada yada yada
but when finally it was just barely still 'all okay'
those things hit me all at once
and thank the goddess they did
or i probably would be beyond recovery by now

chinese medicine is making the difference
i may actually live til 90 just like i planned!!

some of those herbal mixtures are bitter or some other way ...difficult
but once i sip a few times they are fine

i have always found that when my body needs something
it knows
and adjusts so that the flavor is satisfying even if it isnt... nice

i have not seen tintin yet either but i really want to
as an artist i can see that the animation and artwork is very true to the comic books
it seems the spirit of the original tintin is captured also
kinda a simple quiet full of light kind of thing
and reminiscent of a drawing

i am sure it will be good
i am sure the ship on the dunes will be very wonderful

sorry i guess that was more info than you asked for

anyway....

you keeping warm?
good food?
funny entertainment?

hope so

you sound much happier now

in some ways i am
and in some ways i am not



smoking (nicotine addiction) deadens the pain
which is what we are going for
but it deadens the pleasure of life too

so now i am getting some of the pleasure
more and more every day
but
the pain is worse


i still like this better than the old way, tho

Hello how are you today

hi!
long time no see!
what's up with that?
you doing okay?
we miss seeing you around here

i am doing good kinda sorta
healthwize i am continuing to improve
mood varies but no big deal
easily medicated with chocolate
aaaaand its good for you!! *
hahahaha
thars one thing i never felt guilty about and it turns out i was right!
yay
right AND i get to have chocolate!


* one ounce of chocolate containing 70% or more of cocoa per day

so of course TWO ounces is twice as good for ya, right?

Yeh right its an aphrodesiac (if thats the way you spell it) as well carefull, let me know how it works out

well actually i think the chemical in chocolate that makes you feel good is more about feelings of love rather than lust
if it was only about lust then they wouldnt be making viagra
chocolate would be enuf
and if it were only about lust i would either have 50 million children or have a terrible reputation
i have indulged in so much chocolate in my life
my first job was to feed my habit ha ha
i was 7
i sold weeklyvnewspapers on the street downtown

you have a singular wit
has some small reputation however it is I think you said overated

anyway are you doing OK now

much better, thank you
i am making sure i get at least a walk in every day



and you?

better now just very busy need to get away from it all for about 20 years

boy thats for sure!!
life without gizmos actually is pretty fine

We have common ground there

nature walks
a good book
conversations over tea or in the sun
yeah

Mind reader

and an open fire in the winter

of course!
and the sound of birds
and the feeding thereof

And live music
guitar, concert, flute, what have you
and singing
and whistling
out loud!

Good company is a must as well no hangups and common interests

And no TV

tv is very bad
they even ruin movies

however
i use it for some alternative channels like fstv free speech tv
doc documentary channel and dish earth ...a channel with a live feed (every 15 seconds) from the dish satellite of planet earth... they play spa music and it is quite mind boggling
