 Friends         | Potential Friends: Fill out your profile; statement and all, and tell me something about yourself in a note, not PM. I'm here for mostly G-RATED meaningful conversations and possible connections. [NO X!! Understood?] My eyesight is terrible so tend to stay in low-population rooms hoping not to fall behind. Multi-faceted, Autismic, very monkish hermit, writer and rogue scholar who's subjects cover nearly A to Z, Astrophysics, Philosophy, Languages, Literature, Communications, Spirituality etc. Basically a reference librarian. Inspire me and I've usually got a famous quote or a classic poem. Might have been a scribe in a past life. Believes good humor is essential for surviving trying times. Born empathetic and having health problems including recent strokes and as a survivor of a very hostile world I'm led to try to help, as I have been helped, as best I can within my limited abilities. "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate for the stormy present, the occasion is piled high with difficulty, but we must rise to the occasion..." -Abraham Lincoln  keep_fighting: Not seen you here for some time. How are you? 3 months ago • Report • Link 0  Rogue Scholar: m'aidez, m'aidez, m'aidez! Can't rush the river...I tried.

Rogue Scholar: Goes with the mental internal dialogues "Why do I keep seeing the same pattern?" only in the other form "HOW did I MISS this pattern? Right here in front of me and for so long. I must be some kind of complete idiot!!!!!!!!!"

And I still have no glasses or a coca-cola even!!  bellerauhaar23 in reply to Rogue Scholar: I can’t believe it Rogue, my glasses are my life and so was coke till I got a hiatus hernia. I assumed everything was sorted by now Rogue Scholar: For fuzzy logic vision like mine this sign in front of the "Angel Without Borders" reads as follows: 'MAY ALL BEINGS BE WELL, MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY, MAY ALL BEINGS BE FREE, MAY ALL BEINGS BE FREE." Rogue Scholar: HUMOUR, singalong if you dare~The fun perils of a semi-eidetic memory in musical radio history circa 1985 Spokane, Washington To the tune of the most famous Italian Pizzeria song ever "Funiculi, Funicula": No idea why this local station chose this song for a song about a thermos.... "Oh I just bought a Stanley Wide-mouth thermos, it's mouth's so wide; Made for easy filling, easy cleaning, spoon fits inside. For years my lunch consisted of a sandwich, that's all I got... {that's all he got...} Today at noon I'll dine on meat and gravy, it will be hot, {it will be hot!}, [Chorus] Stanley, Stanley, the thermos made of steel, Stanley, Stanley, for hot drinks or a meal, it has no glass, it will not crack, you will not need to bring it back, try what you will it will not break, {we're out of song for goodness sake!} No other thermos stays hot so long, Stanley Wide-mouth thermos, guaranteed for life!

Going to church Would entail a fording To dry, different clothes; My litany would employ Images of sousing, A furious devout drench, And I should raise in the east A glass of water Where any-angled light Would congregate endlessly.
