First, you're not sorry. Animals will always be less important than humans.

Animals are less important than humans.

... echos in eternity.

The same thing we do every day Pinky. Try to take over the world!

What do you make of this prospective book cover?

They think they have a monopoly so they think they can get away with bad policy, but human creativity enables people to circumnavigate or remove it. Going against the nature of reality is the same as deciding to lose.

I think of you take things that seriously you probably need the cat videos more than I do. I'm already in a good mood. :-)

Wow, cool plan! Which country are you in now and which country will you go to? What work will you retire from?

Cats cooperate during bath time if duck taped and drugged correctly.

Comedy occurs when things come together.

Tragedy occurs when things come apart.

Things do not come together by accident, but through vision and intention and action.

Things can come together in any good way you envision if you will do the work to imagine your vision as you want it to look if you could have it all your way, and then write it down and tell it to other good people.

If you include good and competent people and God in your vision, and do what you can to steward your vision well, then you can have any good vision, and that's how you bring things together for the joyful life you want.

Remember when imagining your good vision;

Nothing is impossible.

Sounds like a bot.

🤣🤣🤣

Good advice.

I've been van lifing off and on since early ish 2020, which now includes my wife. What an adventurous life!

Motivating positive behavior is as simple as learning to notice and celebrate the progress of individuals, even in the tiniest amounts. There is no amount of progress too small to celebrate, or too large to celebrate.

If you celebrate progress, you give people the gas they need to look for and make better choices, and you set up their emotions to expect positive attention for efforts invested, which every single person needs.

So if you just read this, well done.

I'm proud of you. :-)

🤣🤣🤣

It's been the core of my life's purpose to come off as the, well actually guy, not unlike Oscar from The Office. Thank you for noticing my efforts! ;-)

It's clear you don't understand what I'm saying, because I'm making the same material point others are making that you agree with, except I'm delineating and explicating it in a way you aren't used to hearing. However, most people aren't used to hearing the mechanics of interpersonal relationships in detail so I feel sad our lines are crossed. Bless you as you sort out your feelings and relationships.

Thanks for responding. The trade you're making in your relationships, as you say, is "friendship," which comes with certain expectations. The thing is, there are healthy expectations and unhealthy expectations. It sounds to me like you don't appreciate unhealthy expectations because it means those people take too much from you. That is good. While healthy expectations sound like, "I will respect you, and I want you to respect me," are probably part of your relationships unless you lack interpersonal boundaries. Healthy and functional people have realistic expectations, as opposed to unrealistic expectations. And this is the same thing, in some sense, as having healthy boundaries which keep the toxic from other people out, while letting the good from other people in. Having realistic expectations and boundaries is good and enhances the joy in relationships, while unrealistic expectations and boundaries is not good and damages the joy and connection in relationships.

Thank you for zapping us sats Captain Stacks. Getting a motorhome will enable us to fulfill our dream of having babies and give us a place to write our books. You've materially helped move us closer to our dreams. :-)
