I'm of no religion but my own, which has nothing to do with any other.

Tell me something about you thats not junk, how about something you love, your passions, what makes you happy?

What does your avatar represent?
It represents a geometrical formulation nothing too special, not like the Sierpinski's gasket, the Fibonacci spiral, or the Mandelbrot set...But it certainly looks better.;)

Moonbeam, what is your #1 passion in life?

What was the last book you read?
Well, I usually read more than one book at a time so I'll tell you the last few including hte ones I'm reading now.

Books I just read: To dare And To Conquer, by Derek Leebaert. And Leadership The Warrior's Art, by Christopher Kolenda.

Books i'm reading: The Secret Teachings Of All Ages, by Manly P. Hall. And The Philosophies Of India, by Heinrich Zimmer.

How about you Burns, what was your last book, and what are you currantly reading?

What do you do for fun?
I go hiking and camping, try my survival techniques and learn about plants and animals. and study the martial arts.

Sorry to hear about your arm.

[octoberchild]

Your profile says your occupation is construction. What are you currently working on?

[Ynot]

taltho,
Your profile says your occupation is construction. What are you currently working on?
and why is your invoice three times your estimate?

anyway,
I'm in construction too (architect / building surveyor)

[taltho]

taltho,
Your profile says your occupation is construction. What are you currently working on?
A job thats kicking my ass, it sucks cause I under bid it. It's the first time I did a job like it... and...OUCH.:( But oh well theres no replacing experience. I certainly know better now. ;)

Your profile says you are a language and speech therapist. Do you enjoy your job? I'm just wondering, hows my language structure? Be honest I can take it.:)

octoberchild, what is your favorite thing to do for recreation?

[taltho]

and why is your invoice three times your estimate?
Did I do a job for you or something? My estimates sometimes includes extras depending on the job type and allocation. Usually my estimate is my bid.

What type of construction do you specialize in? Commercial, residential, custom, new, remodels, etc.

[octoberchild]

A job thats kicking my ass, it sucks cause I under bid it.

that would suck


Your profile says you are a language and speech therapist. Do you enjoy your job? I'm just wondering, hows my language structure? Be honest I can take it.:)

well, speaking for both of us, our vocabulary is poor :p (usage of the word "suck") LOL

I love my job, been doing it for almost 28 years. The best part? Seeing progress in children.:D


octoberchild, what is your favorite thing to do for recreation?

I love the mountains,woods. Especially if water is nearby. Canoe, hike.

[Ynot]

mainly party wall & dilaps work (the paper pushing side of things)
also a little bit of residential design

[Lord Toaster]

Where are you from and where do you live now?

:)

[taltho]

Where are you from and where do you live now?

:)
I'm from Colorado City Az. The largest polygamist community in hte USA. I left htere 14 years ago and I certainly don't agree with there religious dogma whatsoever at all. Hell there fanatical, but I do have many friends who are from there. All good people, my friends are that is.

I live an hour or two from there now.

Where do you live and where are you from?

[taltho]

I love the mountains,woods. Especially if water is nearby. Canoe, hike.

Yeah, theres no replacing the outdoors is there? I personally spend most of my spare time in hte outdoors, I especially enjoy sailing and sea kayaking. Of course exploring the Utah/Arizona plateaus are a one of a kind experience.

[Burns]

Well, I usually read more than one book at a time so I'll tell you the last few including hte ones I'm reading now.

How about you Burns, what was your last book, and what are you currantly reading?
I usually read more than one book at a time too. :reading:

Right now I'm reading The Hobbit by J.R. Tolkien, and Hideaway by Dean Koontz.


What's your favorite dessert food?

[taltho]

What's your favorite dessert food?
Well, pertaining to things that grow wild, I think hte plant that is called either a prickly pear or cactus apple, whos formal name is Opuntia engelmannii.

It looks like this.

[a dude]

I love prickly pears but sometimes I dont cut the needles off all the way and I get them in my mouth.:?

[NeAvO]

Whats my house number? It's a 2 digit number.

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam, what is your #1 passion in life?


I'm not ignoring this; I'm still thinking. It kind of bothers me that I don't have a good answer. I wish I had a #1 passion; I wish I could say that it is something that makes a difference in the world and makes it a better place. But if I go by time spent, I guess I'd gave to say work. If I go by what I think about a lot, especially for the last year, I'd say lucid dreaming. If I go by what I wish I did more of, it would be getting outside, spending time in nature, exploring, but also spending more time with people, reading more, then again I'd like to have time to work out more, walk more... I guess I don't have enough time for a #1 passion.

I better get going! I've got a lot to do!

[BiVixen]

What is it you aspire to achieve before your next birthday?

Do you do any form of art?

If you could be any kind of tree, what kind would you be and why?


Some about me:
I am a highschooler who wants her doctorate in Psychology.
I could spend hours discussing philosophy.
Daydreaming is one of my favourite past-times. (As well as smiling)
I want to go to the Eastern US and soak up the culture.
I find nature mystifying.
I read shampoo bottles when I cannot find anything else.

[Vex Kitten]

I've seen you about.
What do you find interesting about western European and Native American cultures?

And, I'd like to know NeAvO's house number too. Guess correctly please.

[Man of Steel]

NeAvO's house number is 42. Sheesh.

Okay, taltho, here's one for you; since you spend a lot of time outdoors, as do I, what knife/knives do you carry, and why? Also, just out of curiousity, have you ever visited the BladeForums Wilderness and Survival Skills forum? Sounds like you'd like it there.


As for me, I love to read, and occasionally write. The last book I read was Feet of Clay, by Terry Pratchett. I'm currently reading The Truth, also by Terry Pratchett. I too spend a lot of time outdoors. Practicing my survival techniques is a big part of that.

[taltho]

Sorry everyone I've not had time to spend here much I've been to busy. What is it you aspire to achieve before your next birthday?Forgiveness.

Do you do any form of art?Martial arts, Drawing and some musical insruments.

If you could be any kind of tree, what kind would you be and why? not sure.


Okay, taltho, here's one for you; since you spend a lot of time outdoors, as do I, what knife/knives do you carry, and why?buck and custom knife. No forums I just know how to survive.
Edit: I carry a buck knife cause I like the balance and versatility, I also carry a custom knife in case I actually need to survive, it skins animals much easer. How about you?

What do you find interesting about western European and Native American cultures? I'm European decent so I want to know what my ancestors where up to, and there are many things that intrigue me about certain Native American tribes since I'm a small part Native also. I guess heritage, and a desire toward wisdom.

[Xox]

Wow, took you a long time. xD

Well, what took you so long?

[Grod]

I love money, and I find myself annoyed with all of the liberals in my town.

[Carôusoul]

I am power crazed.

[Xox]

I am power crazed.

I'm not surprised.



I laugh too hard.

[taltho]

Wow, took you a long time. xD

Well, what took you so long?
Yeah... well, I need to focus on other things than chat forums, this dose not mean I don't care about DV's forum, I think it's the best. But still I need to focus my attention else ware for now.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone.

I am power crazed. Well this means that you are under an illusion, and you are egotistical and on hte wrong path toward true power.

I just am, this is true power, the power of being and letting be.
To craze control you enslave yourself to yourself and you fail.

Some advice... just be and you will achieve true power by not having power.

I love money, and I find myself annoyed with all of the liberals in my town. The love of money is a great downfall and shows that your mind is tricking it's self... hence your annoyance...

Truth just is, it transcends both time and distance, it is unalterable and unchangeable. If you guys just let be and realize this you will achieve true power and wealth.

I have true power cause I have no power. I am wealthy cause I have no wealth.

[grasshoppa]

Who do you think would win?

Viking vs Pirate

[taltho]

Who do you think would win?

Viking vs Pirate
Do you mean actual vikings vs actual pirates, or do you mean it as in football?

I'll assume that you mean actual vikings and pirates.
I think if the vikings had the same techs as the Pirates then of course the vikings would win, unless of course the pirates where vikings.

In football I'm unaware of a pro team called the Pirates.

[Carôusoul]

This is true.











The illusion remains.



Will to power.

[Grod]

The love of money is a great downfall and shows that your mind is tricking it's self... hence your annoyance...
But I love money.

Actually, those two things are rather unrelated. They were just at the top of my mind at the moment.

Now that I think about it, they could be related.



I have true power cause I have no power. I am wealthy cause I have no wealth.

I don't follow.

[taltho]

I don't follow.
Think of it like this... the only use of a cup is it's empty space. if there where no empty space the cup would be worthless. Your house is a hallow of empty space if it where not it would be of little use.

Also your thoughts and thought process create your emotions and in turn your emotions feed your thought patterns. If one where to quiet the mind and empty it, the emptiness would be of value... it has little value while it is constantly in a rat race of some sort, enraging confusion/anxiety/desire/ and hope. Emptiness, stillness and quiet are calm and relaxing and do not wast energy.
Example: sages never do what is great and this is why they achieve greatness.

You completely and utterly rid me of my confusion.

Sounds good! Might I ask who your custom is by? There are a lot of very good custom knifemakers out there.

If I'm heading out into the woods for a while I take my usual EDC, which consists of a Benchmade Vex and an SAK (Wenger Handyman) and a fixed blade or two, which varies depending on what I'm going to be doing. Most of the time I have my Cold Steel Finn Bear, which is a pretty nifty little knife in the Finnish style, and sometimes a Ranger RD7 or the custom I had made by Ranger Knives.

[Adam]
