Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

I think the hottest thing in Star Trek I've seen is Sol.

No, it means going from one subway car to another while the train is moving (i.e. in between stations).

And yeah, I have seen people do that. Mostly panhandlers.

Are you not supposed to do that? I've never ridden on a train or subway. The only vehicles I've ridden on/in are cars, bicycles, and planes. I'm not really sure if they'd count as a vehicle, but I also took a handful of horseback riding lessons as kid, and I'm hoping to do it again sometime.

They probably frown on extended gunfights while leaping from the top of one car to the next, huh?

How about leaping between different trains? Guns optional.

When I really think about it after Seven-of-nine, and a distant second Deanna Troi, I don't think there's another character in Star Trek who I find hot.

Ishara Yar is nothing to you??

Yeah pretty much... Data's guilty pleasure, 'Tasha Yar is cuter.

The Ferengi's know what's good.

Ro Laren's cute, but, eh! She's a Bjoran.

Migleemo or Adreek-Hu for me.
I have a suspicion that the former is pretty freaky in the bedroom uvu

Light-colored cars that then have all their badging ‘blacked out’, a la ‘Stealth’ mode… WTH? Are you embarrassed that you’re driving a tan Camry or something similar?

Nerdiest way to describe a rimjob.

Let me tell you something about horses. Don't try to jump from one running horse to another.

That's only in movies.

I'm not that crazy.

 

[JD]

I haven't read the story but I saw a headline about how Stephen Spielberg has never been stoned, but still enjoys Seth Rogen's movies, and I'm the same way. I've never been stoned in my life, but I really enjoy stoner comedies, it might be partly due to the fact that at times I think my natural state might be pretty close to what most people are like stoned.

Some good news to start the year off in Birmingham Alabama:

We have a good mayor

I might get to ride a horse eventually. One of the horseback riders I talk to on my bike rides, said she'd "put me on" her horse once she's done working with her and she's safe for other people to ride.

Wow, just realized today marks 20 years since I registered here.

Kind of interesting when you think about it... I don't think there's any other website out there that I've had a 20-year relationship with!

Happy Anniversary noob.

I can't think of another BBS back then that I was a member of that still exists today.

^this

There were 2 other boards I was on 20 years ago that I likely still would be on except that neither exists any longer (probably thanks to social media).

It's a testament to the Trek fans out there that this place is still kicking!

 

[John Clark]

For me, it's this one and one other that are still definitely active.

I haven't posted at the other in over twenty years though. The main other I used to post at closed in 2008.

My memory deteriorate, and i'm terrified of Alzheimers....
I just got 120 capsules of Lions Mane ,
and starting today i'm going to perform memory tests every day for two months while taking these capsules.
if anything i at least get to do a little study.

The memory tests alone are probably going to yield a small effect regardless of the mushroom
as i will basically send my brain into a daily training i guess.

Does anyone here have any experience with Lions Main and how it (if anything) effected the memory?

10 days now with memory tests and Lions Mane, nothing extraordinary to report.
I'm doing a series of 35 visual puzzles/problems to solve each day and i still don't
remember more than how the first one looks before i start. But i do the whole series much quicker of course
as i remember more and more of what i did the last time when i look at them, but that's to be expected.
Also i don't really expect any real result before 4 to 6 weeks, if this works.

i'll be back...

No experience with Lion's Mane, but I have a close family member with ALZ; hopefully you don't get that diagnosed (it is difficult and scary). My family member who has it keeps up a healthy diet and a moderate amount of daily aerobic exercise, in addition to some of the brain and memory strengthening exercises that you mention. Honestly, the aerobic exercise and diet (no smoking, no alcohol, no refined carbs, etc.) are probably the biggest help, at least in his case.

Anyway, good luck to you and hope for the best outcome...

 

[Captain pl1ngpl0ng]

thank you @cosmic mouse , i must clarify to all, i am not diagnosed with ALZ, im just very afraid of it
because of my terrible memory.... you have excellent advice, i stopped drinking and also quit smoking around
five years ago. If your family member manage to keep it on an arms length because of a healthy lifestyle
then that's very encouraging
Thank you again and i wish the best to you and your family member also

There's actually three BBSes I know that have been around since I was in college. This one, the RPG board at GameFaqs, and the acclaimedmusic.net board.
