Hello friends Sometimes we are happy and feel on the top of the world. So during that time we sing, dance, hop, jump and do all funny things. During that time, even our worst foe looks like our best friend. But when we are very...

Rycharde Much of the advice here seems to be about trying to forget one's depression - just displacement activities. I actually got myself out of a deep depression some years ago. I did so by doing the opposite of what everyone was advising - I went deeper into the...

Rycharde Reincarnation is assumed to be just an eastern belief, but it occurs in European thought too - just read Plato's Myth or Er (easy to search and simple explanation on wikipedia). Even in Plato there is a river of forgetting. Such ideas disappeared once...

Rycharde Hi, one of the links in the article I wrote (link in previous comment) is to TetraWatch. They are pretty good with up to date info on pulsed frequency radiation polluting our airspace. Those vertical arrays that have been shooting up - used by the police...

Rycharde Thanks for the comment. Like you say, success comes with conviction rather than a half-hearted new year's resolution. The irony with coughing is that it temporarily gets worse once you stop smoking as the anaesthetic effects of smoking wear off. Good you...

Rycharde Mobile phones are dangerous and can cause cancer. This has nothing to do with the microwave power - this is a complete red herring fed to a public largely ignorant of physics - and has everything to do with the pulsed frequencies being used. Such frequencies...

I had a curiosity today about who started this tradition, and the internet gives two stories, none of which I can verify currently. The more common story is that it was started with a Roman god Janus. This interesting character...

Rycharde Funny, just wrote about this very thing and your discussion popped up. Agree entirely with your view that the best time to make a determined resolution is when you're really ready. Thing is, how do you generate that motivation in the first place? Research,...

Rycharde OK, it strikes me that there are some common themes here: some people spending far too long either online or consuming entertainment such as games or films. All of these things pass the time until the boredom hits again. Why not use the net to find some local...

Rycharde really depends on which country you live in. In the UK it's too cold to sleep outside, but here in Thailand it's usually warm enough and many people in the villages will sleep outside, on a hammock or a bamboo bed. An actual mattress isn't such a great idea as...

Rycharde Yeah thanks for that. Once upon a time downloading youtube videos was easy but now they've removed that option - kinda dumb as the mere act of watching a video downloads the file in the cache so was just a matter of time for an app to develop.
