Yay, for empowering yourself and trying on your own!

I can think of at least one other thing that will benefit. You'll know more about it, and how it works. This means you'll need less help with it, and less help with things like it.

I wish more people would do this with their computery things. Lots of people just want to know the gestures and incantations to get stuff done, which means if anything goes odd, they're stuck. If they actually know what they're doing, an extra question or unusual step doesn't leave them stuck.

So, yay you, for not being stuck, and for inadvertently making yourself less stuck in the future!

Rick: LOL! Sorry, I'm just a touch camera-shy — as you may have noticed! :)

Re the rat: yes, I had equally delightfully dubious reactions as I served them, which pleased me to no end, I admit! Of course, folks thought they were really delicious once they started eating. :)

A quick unrelated question: if I ended up in the Gainesville area this summer at some point, would you be interested in trying to meet up? Would you recommend any particular time or event? No promises, but I'm thinking of a road-trip of fun firsts for the summer, and thought it'd be great to include seeing everyone from our Gainesville days — with some actual planning ahead, this time! :)

Thank you, Lou! Also, re "DevilCollie": LOL! That's what I love about you — you're so erudite! :)

Rat on a stick == teh yummy. The 'innards' weren't really needed to make them good or fun.

DevilCollie == Rar! =)

The ceramics were very pretty and I'm not sure the picture did them justice.

Now, to get you to TechShop more often and release your creativeness! MWA HA HA HA!

I didn't think you'd be too keen on the recreational pharmaceuticals, but I also think everyone should experience an hallucinogen once just to see how easily our brains can be fooled. It puts reality, or our perception of it, in an interesting perspective. Perhaps magic mushrooms if you'd prefer to stay 'natural'.

LOL! What does it say about me, I wonder, that I have already done or would be interested in doing any and all of those suggestions — except for the first one? You're the third person so far, also, who has made suggestions which are going to require some… adroit writing so as to keep this page (if not the list itself) safe from the NSFW categorization.

Thanks for the great ideas! This is going to be fun. :)

Hmmm, I'm trying to think out of the box here. Please feel free to ignore any or all of these:

Drop acid
Visit a live volcano
Have a sexual encounter with someone other than the opposite gender
Visit the Smithsonian
Get a massage
Give a massage
SCUBA dive
Put a message in a bottle and either send it up in a balloon(use a plastic bottle) or throw it in the ocean
Try to appreciate a musical genre that you believe you hate
Try to live one day without your sense of sight
Write and then record/perform a song
Reconcile with someone from your past whom you believe wronged you
Make love on the beach

These and many more if you order by midnight tonight!! :-)

"Rick! Where are your suggestions for new things to try? I want to hear from you too! :)"

Right, I'm on it. :-)
