@Asishdavid Ooooh -- that one that leaded kids to commit suicide?

Geez. 😟

@Vishsai
That sounds good. 👍

Have you seen a doctor about this, Aaditi? It's hard on you to be suffering like that.

@freemo I can relate to that. If I am buiding something, and it's off in some sense, that's what my eye will always lock on in the future.

Hard to have to look at it and see defects.

The Japanese have a philosophical concept about accepting imperfection which is quite interesting. (and they are meticulous about things like table setting and food presentation we westerners tend to gloss over).

@_lunawinters Sorry that you feel that way, Aaditi. You other threads posted this morning seem to indicate anxiety.

The sleep episodes, I have had these in the past. Focused Breathing helped. Slow and deep breath, hold for a fw secs, then release slowly and deeply. Pause and repeat.

I would soon drift off to sleep, could hear my heart beat reducing pace as I did this.

@freemo It is a small object and hard to control paint application. I think this looks very good, you are just zooming with the camera into very small detail our eye might not catch normally, me thinks.

Air brush would be nice for shade, but the size is sooo small!

@ravaadaar
Hello Mary and welcome. 😄

My little helper is Bing Translator, which indeed got the meaning of your beautiful script message. I had assumed Arabic. Persian it is.

Glad yo have you here! 😉

https://www.bing.com/translator is top notch - I have used it to write freely in a native language and then translate, manually polish and sending a nice letter to penpal friends, in their own native language.

If you have any questions, just ask, send personal DM message or publicly, your choice.

@freemo

Very fine motor skills, steady hand needed for sure. You are doing well, keep going! 👍

@SunDancer

@spike Got it, wasn't sure on the proper addressing, Spike. 😉

The network we are in is quite interesting, a lot of nice things to read, good people. Hope you have fun.

@Asishdavid No, I haven't, but went to look what it is all about. IMDB has a page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3531824/

...and Bing has a trailer. 😉 https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=movie+%22Nerve&view=detail&mid=259BB527A17B3D610F71259BB527A17B3D610F71&FORM=VIRE0&mmscn=tpvh&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dmovie%2b%2522Nerve%26PC%3dIS45%26PTAG%3dSYS1000000%26form%3dISCHR1

@chikara
Nice find and well documented, good work, Chikara!

Wonderful to think that tree came from so far away, on a long sail ship passage around the planet. Started it's life on new continent and is still around, 500 years later.

We have some interesting old growth pine and cedar trees here in Ontario, along the Niagara Escarpment. They grew into accumulated vegetal debris in the rock faces, very little soil or space, sometimes not that much sun exposure, depending on the orientation.

And some of them, even being stunted little trees, are over a thousand years old.

@gehlot171 Hello Ashok and good morning.

Thank you for that beautiful view of Venice. Looks wonderful and lifts my spirit on a grey late Fall morning here.

@realcaseyrollins Probably muscle stress from staying in a single position. Seems to affect people using laptops to read web, watch tv, and also people with mobile phones, hunched over and static for most part.

A chiropractor visit can help, release the muscles, adjust column.

I do get this on ocassion, and it's a pain in the neck, very very literally. 😉
