Hey! :)

I know people who have those fancy coffee machines. Very nice but crazy expensive ... and big, as you say. No matter how much counter space you have you always need more.  Freshly ground beans are definitely better. Better still is to roast your own. I’ve done that at a friend’s house a few times but don’t have a roaster myself. It can be very smokey, so it’s best done outside.

I mix rushroons and diamondates. It varies a bit but I think I usually grow 20 k food on a good day. For a while the mining food bonuses were good but TL has scaled those way back. I can still pick up another 4-5 k food from land mining if I work at it, but most days I don’t have the time.

Lol @ BK coulrophobia. I’m sure a little repressed memory therapy would be quite revealing. Reminds me of the old Seinfeld TV series where Kramer was terrified of clowns. I wasn’t quite sure what the “typical” Indian attitude toward nudity was. The few Indian movies I’ve seen had none, but the sample is small. Nudity in US movies depends on a careful calculation of the target audience. It’s good at some level cause of course sex sells, but if you lose the under 17 crowd because of the rating, or make people too uncomfortable, it costs lots of money. On non-cable TV nudity is strictly forbidden (huge fines). Subscription movie channels are broader, and with streaming internet I suspect you can find anything you want, short of underage and similarly illegal. God knows what they’d do with the Kamasutra temples in the US, it’d be a huge controversy, but in the end they’d probably market it to college students on Spring Break and tax the revenues, LOL.

On the soldiers, there have been a lot of studies of the psychological effects of war on surviving soldiers and post-traumatic-stress-syndrome and the like. A lot of it grew out of the Vietnam war experience, but veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan have related issues. Unsurprisingly if you take your nice normal 18 year old and throw them into heavy combat where they see a lot of death up close and personal there is a lot of dissociation, dehumanization of the enemy, and a general desensitization towards violence. It’s a form of psychological survival. Then you throw them back into society and they have to deal with all these experiences and feelings. Some people handle it much better than others, but I don’t think it’s well understood why.

My Love/Virtue combo was great at first, but lately has been a bust. Just got a 25 hr Justice fail on Potter. Ah, now I get the tropic combo, for some reason I didn't compute purple as a split type. Doh! (slaps self in head). It should be exciting, good luck!

Haha. You are way over the 200 word limit, missy. If you weren’t several time zones away you’d have to be limbering up those leg muscles :P

G'night and happy breeding. :) xoxoxo
