| Topic | Do you or have you ever tried to meditate? |
| dancer62 07/19/17 9:08:49 AM #12 | Kyuubi4269 posted... Meditating while driving isn't particularly safe, especially when you're "imagining the air is aware of you.", fairly sure saying that shit would get you hit with a DUI. I'm trying to comprehend looking inward rather than outward while driving. Not the smart option, probably texting or watching TV while driving is safer. Meditating while working does explain some of the apparently braindead customer service reps I've had on the phone lately. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

| dancer62 07/16/17 9:52:03 AM #3 | It depends on what she likes. Different women like different things. What is she carrying now? For everyday, I like a big roomy slouch bag with a good shoulder strap. On vacation, I like a smaller messenger bag. Nightclubbing, a clutch bag is enough. RenFest, a woven drawstring bag, to avoid anachronism. Just a fanny pack when I'm golfing. I mostly like a long shoulder strap so my hands are free. Some women like handbags with handles, or clutches, or shorter straps. Some women color-coordinate with their outfit or shoes. Some women like brand names with logos or medallions.

| Topic | I remember how people here made fun of me for wanting to carry a sword around. |
| dancer62 07/16/17 8:05:40 AM #76 | Dreaming_King posted... I'm not from Texas, I was just using the article as an example. My state has never really had a knife length limit, but people here kept trying to tell me that didn't mean I could carry a sword,which is basically a really long knife. I was using the article to disprove that claim. Most people don't get arrested for specific crimes, they get arrested for acting stupid in public, the arresting officer figures out the crime later. Carrying a sword for no reason certainly qualifies as "creating a disturbance", at the least, and will get you arrested. . Since you don't have a sword, you can test this by going out in public carrying a baseball bat, or a live chicken, or dressed as Spiderman, and seeing how long it takes to attract attention. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

| dancer62 07/15/17 9:43:58 PM #62 | Dreaming_King posted... dancer62 posted...Why? I have carried swords a lot. To classes, sparring, tournaments, RenFest, sword dancing, stage combat. Kings wear funny hats to show their kingship. Look at any chess set. I'm not a princess, or a Shaolin nun, just a dancer and martial artist. My swords are not symbols of anything, just tools. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

| dancer62 07/15/17 8:40:02 PM #54 | Currant_Kaiser posted... I , too, want to carry a sword around. If you can have concealed carry guns I don't see why swords should be excluded. Unless it's part of your job, I don"t know why anyone would want to carry a gun, either. Guns are fun, shooting is a challenging art, but for casual carrying around? --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

And also had to look up league of legends, apparently some warcraft kind of online game for casuals with a personal computer and too much time on their hands. So, answered who and what.

BASIC was the big thing in schools in the 80's. Not very useful now. Good for flow logic, I guess. In grad school, I learned to punch cards for FORTRAN to do multivariate analysis on a DEC VAX ring. Mainframes with keypunch machines and card readers were state-of-the-art.
