BruceVC Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) https://www.reiki-for-holistic-health.com/reiki-healing-with-crystals.html Sup All, has anyone ever had a Reiki session before and what did you think about it? One of our family friends has started providing this therapy and my stepmom did it last week and she felt very relaxed and better afterwards....less anxiety that she suffers from generally about things like crime which has been exacerbated by the virus and the lock-down Anyway all the guys in my family reject this type of thing as absolute nonsense as they basically only believe in science and proven facts. I know nothing about it in the sense I have no idea if it can be beneficial or helpful to reduce stress or other things it can help with. I have session arranged tomorrow with our family friend at 5 pm, I did explain to her I have no known unexplained stress, apart from lock-down frustration, or things I can specifically say are underlying problems but I am still interested in how it may make me feel So any feedback will be appreciated Edited April 28, 2020 by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Vaeliorin Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 So I went to see an orthopedist who specializes in feet and ankles yesterday, and he managed to get my toe back into socket, and have it stay there. So, no surgery for me, thankfully. Have to keep my toes taped and see him in 3 weeks or so. The pain is mostly gone at this point, though I still can't walk properly on that foot. So things are going as well as can be expected, thankfully. 4

Gfted1 Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 It was always a fantasy of mine to work from home but now that I am its a mixed bag. Its super awesome to not commute, but I dont have access to all my "tools". I can lounge about in comfort, but Im tired of staring at "these four walls". Weather permitting I go for a nice long walk every day for a little exercise and a change of scenery. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
ShadySands Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Did the yard stuff and tried to get the sprinklers up and running but one of the pipes burst.

LadyCrimson Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Lately I've done a whole lot of nothing, meaning a lot more nothing than my usual nothing, which equals a cosmic level of nothing that could make even the number zero shake its head (if it had one) at the level of nothingness. Mostly I'm just "blah." :D it is nice weather these days tho! Sitting by a river under a tree (fishing pole or not) sounds pretty good right now. Just not much of that sort of thing anywhere close nearby, for me, sadly. Weeks like this I miss having a small swimming pool in the backyard. Maybe I should get a large kiddie pool and make like Al Bundy. “Things are as they are.

teknoman2 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 i'm so unbearably bored these days... i mean i'm always bored but with this quarantine it's gotten so much worse The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What?

Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players...

Guard Dog Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 @Gfted1 you have inspired me. Today I'm walking down to the river to go fishing. Maybe I'll find some grubs, nightcrawlers, or crickets along the way to use for bait. If not the good ol' beetle spin never fails. Well... sometimes it does. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Gfted1 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Gah, my fishing license expired 31 Mar! A neighbor tells me I can renew it online and just print it out here so I have to check that out, otherwise I need to go back to Walmart. I use a small (6') cast net to catch minnows for bait. Failing that Ill go to the gas station and buy a cup of nighcrawlers. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Guard Dog Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I went to Kroger and the Covington package store today. It's only the second time I've left home in six weeks. Other than on foot that is. Kroger was fully stocked and not crowded I'm please to say. Not that I needed much. The liquor store was the opposite. The best bourbon they had was Maker's Mark. It's OK, I guess. I made a pitcher of whiskey sour using that, lemon juice, corn syrup, and grenadine. You are supposed to garnish that s--t with orange peel or lemon wedges. But I'm the only one here. Who the f--k am I trying to impress? I'm sitting on the porch smoking a full rack of beef ribs and power drinking. Some days you just need to get trashed. 3 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Gfted1 Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Im in the same boat. I was already a few weeks overdue for a haircut when the lockdown started and the ensuing 7 week (and counting) have not been kind.
