A good year IMO was 1977. Well I was certainly in better condition back then but I'm not sure I'd want to drink any Bailey's of that vintage. In fact, I don't think I would even dare take the top off the bottle. I was given a bottle by a friend for letting him stay over. I sniffed it and seized it ...

Ah, so not Bailey's Cream then...

Only if it's old.

How old?

Sounds like my kinda guy who could help me seize the night and throttle all thoughts til dawn. More information, please. Well Rumpole does that with the help of Chateau Thames Embankment. Ah, so not Bailey's Cream then... I hate that stuff. Yucky. I don't drink alcohol any more... It's a depressant...

Not unless you mean Rumpole. Go on, thrill me 8) Well he's currently occupying my Kindle and sends me to sleep every night. I don't know what else to say. Actually, I'm beginning to regret saying anything in the first place. Just forget I mentioned it, Rumpole means nothing to me, I'd never even he...

Obviously, if the day is in my face, I'm facing it...

In a way, yes.
In another way, no.
But I think I'd better sleep on it...

Was he thinking about doing the dishes, and then said Fuckit I'm gonna get that day if it's the last thing I do.

The now is eternal. To be in the now means to be in eternity, which is where you are now. Phenomena exists in time, and is transitory. Movement of mind activates time. The phrase, “being in the now” is a conceptual observation that the real you, which is awareness, is witnessing the movement of tim...

I appreciate the sympathy but it's okay, I've learned to bear it.

Bearing it, eh ?
Who to ?

In my experience: seizing the day is a waste of time...the day ain't runnin' from you but is up in your face...no, much better to 'seize the throat' (cuz the throat-owner is either runnin' from you or trying damn hard to seize yours)...so let the day alone and go after the bastids you run across 'i...

:lol: Time to seize the chores until another diem. I was converted to the joys of washing dishes by paying attention to the now. Being in the now. Breathing in the now. And then I woke up, seized the day and bought a dishwasher. Still needs filling and emptying. The cycle of life. But I get to do o...

Yes, I noticed I missed your earlier post - hence my deletion
Dear.

I just had to get my six words in as a stand-alone comment, which sums up the thread title.

You never give up, do you.
