CallunaTook Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi, Annyshay! So, two things. Thing number one. There was a bake sale at work today. I visited so many times that the security guard thought I worked there. ... Thing number two. The forums give me a little bit of heartburn for this in-between work. Because you can still post in the old forum, but it's basically dead and people will be reasonably hesitant to respond, if they even still visit the old forum. And the new forum isn't actually active yet, so the same thing applies but to a lesser extent. I almost feel like I should post my last challenge summaries or anything substantial in the new challenge forums, even though I haven't designed or posted my new challenge yet, because of how quickly the old forum dies out... This totally sounds like a newbie problem so I'm really hoping some of the more experienced of you could provide some unspoken guidelines or tips as to when to make the switch and for what. 1 Quote Link to comment

WolfDreamer Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Book recommendation time! I read this book a few years ago and linked up with the author online because I was so impressed with the message of this book. It's very "sciencey," so if that's not your thing, then you might pass it up. The elevator speech for this book is that it's about your brain on water. But it's so much more. J. shares stories of surfers, sailors, fishermen, conservationists, scientists, wounded veterans, drug addicts, all people whose lives have been changed by spending time near, in, on or under water. J. digs deep into the neurological as well as the personal impact of water and how those two forces could transform our conversations about how to protect and defend our oceans and rivers and lakes and streams. I had a chance to meet J. last year as he was on his way to a conference in Shepherdstown, WV (about 5 hours from me). I got a message on FB that said, "I'm passing through your area in a bit! On my way to Shepherdstown." J. is from California, so I was confused. Was he driving? I assumed he would fly. I asked where he was. His reply: Driving towards Charleston Going to stop for gas and coffee. How far are you from Charleston I'm on 64 Meet for a quick coffee? Then, like a crazed fanboy, I messaged him my number and in less than 30 seconds he called. We met at a Sheetz just 20 minutes from my house, sat for a while and just talked. He handed me a copy of his book, autographed by himself and Celine Cousteau, and a blue marble (which makes more sense if you read the book). So check it out. I've read it three times. 3 1 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Resets Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn, WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf, The Mad Poet Recovers by Keeping it Simple, WolfDreamer Clears His Mind to Find His Wild Heart “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

WolfDreamer Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Just decided to be adventurous with my drink choices and picked up some Simple Truth organic "AvoKALEdo" cold pressed juice at Kroger.

Anyone else have awesome adventures in their own home state that they have yet to experience? 1 That bridge walk looks awesome! This is pretty underwhelming in comparison, but I've been meaning to hike Black Mesa. It's the highest elevation in the state, and that's pretty much it about it, other than it is in the panhandle, so it's a long drive to a remote area, and it would probably be an overnight trip. I always seem to think about going in summer, which is the worst time to go, not just due to climate but also snakes. So then I say, I'll do it in the fall! And then I don't, cuz holidays. Then it's, I'll go in the Spring! and I forget. There are far prettier peaks and mountains in the state, I just want to see the highest point. This video was kind of amusing. Obviously sarcastic. 2 Quote Link to comment

I had 10 small dishes which had a lot of mushroom soup and various raw fish. I also went to New York and tried Ethiopian food and it was fucking awesome.

Never had Ethiopian food (other than Yirgacheffe coffee). Ew! But it sounds fun! Reminds me of a surprise meal I had at Burning Man once - it was a mock restaurant, but you expected there was some sort of joke about it. We all ordered from a fancy menu, and when we were served every single person had quesadillas! There is an Ethiopian place down the street from my house. It's delicious. It reminds me vaguely of Indian food, in the yummy mush that goes on top of a carb sort of way. I really can't think of anything that adventurous that I've eaten. To my shame, I've shied away from bugs every single time they've been offered to me even when I was told they were tasty. Although I did try the Absinthe that comes with a bug in the bottle, so I guess that is kind of close? I'll call that my most adventurous food, because of the bug. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll share mine after a few people have commented. It's so weird to me, I've had crickets, ants, mealworms, and grasshoppers and didn't think any of them were that "adventurous" I've also eaten gator, rattlesnakes, foie gras and snails. I just like food. Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment

I just like food. I have also eaten gator and rattlesnake, as well as snails and shark. I see what you're saying, though. In fact, researchers are already calling insects the "food of the future." 1 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Resets Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn, WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf, The Mad Poet Recovers by Keeping it Simple, WolfDreamer Clears His Mind to Find His Wild Heart “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.

It's wholly depressing. On 10/30/2017 at 9:02 AM, Wolfen said: who has seen The Revenant All I know is that Leo ate a fish and that the entire story was made up. These 'based on a true story' things are irritating to me. However, I think that Tom Hardy is pretty good in any role you throw at him. Once I knew it was trying to be 'real', I sort of lost interest in seeing it. 1 Quote Link to comment
