Hi, have you ever thought of putting some hadith in your library? I might be biased as a muslim but if you have a list of demons in your section some hadith would be good as well. I recommend some from Sahih al-Bukhari.

Lawtan 07-20-2014 01:39 PM

Ohh...thank you!

I am trying to keep it an unbiased/well-rounded library. :)

I'll look for them now.

...The last part was meant fully in jest. The first part was not. I'll look for a good source for people to learn about them, and when I do, credit you for alerting me to them.

Thanks Law. *settles in for a good long nap* Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Lawtan 07-20-2014 01:47 PM

And...It is done. While there were likely some better sources, most had popups that detracted from the text. I try to avoid that when I can.

Oh, and I need to change the Tao Te Ching link - it is no longer working.

Also, like health insurance, most cable companies have monopoly-like control over areas, they can fine-tune and control what people view.

With the current/possibly past internet, the policy avoiding such things has led to a less controlled/financially viable market for them. The argument is thus: for them to continue to improve internet connection, among other things, they would like something closer to what they have with cable.

But... how would that even work?

Den 07-20-2014 05:35 PM

Infrastructure, more than likely.

Tam I am 07-21-2014 07:26 PM

No. I mean, the actual, how is that supposed to work.

Lawtan 07-21-2014 08:00 PM

Don't have foggiest notion as to that.
Either the attempt will f*** things up, or someone smarter than me (and hopefully not corrupt) has it figured out.

Tam I am 07-21-2014 08:17 PM

Hrrrm. Indeed.

*takes a lemon tart and hides under the table*

Tam I am 07-22-2014 12:42 PM

And now I want lemon pie. Nice and not too sweet. Though my belly's rebelling and I wouldn't be able to eat it right now.

Lawtan 07-22-2014 02:32 PM

\(OoO)/
Now I crave Lemon Tarts!

Tam I am 07-22-2014 05:51 PM

Bahaha!

*turns thoughtful* I wonder if I could get to the bank in time to get cash for lemon tarts?

Edit: I decided to walk down to Save On Foods to buy a lemon pie. When I reached the store I had to walk past the deli section to get to the bakery section, and I saw onion rings. So once I'd grabbed the lovely big pie I came back and got $1.27 worth of rings. I sat down to eat after buying them, and a guy in his sixties in plain clothes sat down at a table next to mine with a shepherds pie to eat. Once we were both done our food I glanced over and we talked a bit. He was quiet and polite, and he was a bit wistful as he asked if that was a lemon pie. I offered him a piece, and his reply was, "Yes, please." So I scooped one out onto the top of the thing his pie came in, and the piece that I ate tasted better because the pie had been shared.

Den 07-22-2014 10:51 PM

Awww, Tam, that's sweet. :)

Lawtan 07-22-2014 11:43 PM

That was beautiful, Tam.

Tam I am 07-23-2014 02:13 PM

Aaand now I'm embarrassed. I was just wanting to share a good story that was the completion of my lemon tart comments. lol

Lawtan 07-23-2014 04:25 PM

Well, since we are talking about sweets...

Cake! Candles on a cake are linked to old rituals to drive off evil spirits (said to come by on one's birthday)...or they started as a sort of "holy honeyed bread" offering to Artemis (Diana) (As a sister of Apollo...the fires and all...)

People made noise and partied around the guest of honor as a way to confuse evil spirits, and they gave wishes and gifts, somewhat like Solstice/New Years/Christmas.

So...CAKE!!!

Kilala Mikal 07-24-2014 01:45 AM

Aww. That's awesome Tam! :) Kinda made my night reading that.

How's everyone doing?

OH! And I got contacts today!! *dances around happily* I only have to wear my gimpy broken glasses at night between taking my contacts out and going to bed! *dances more and snags a lemon tart of the table* Woo hoo!!

*sets out drinks to go with the tarts*

Lawtan 07-24-2014 12:50 PM

>.> I have been told my eyesight is too bad for most contacts ;~;

Congrats, Kilala! *Dances with*

Aww. Well, that's worth the embarrassment! I'm glad.

I'm tired. Before the day's half over. o.0

*chugs lemon drink* I don't think I could wear contacts. My eyes sting about nothing already. That, and the expense.

Den 07-25-2014 02:29 PM

only reason I'd wear contacts would be for a costume...and it'd have to be a costume I'd get a lot of wear out of... because those types of contacts are ex-pen-sive.

Tam I am 07-25-2014 02:54 PM

LOL MONSTER EYES.

Yesterday it was terribly hot and humid. Today, is steady, lovely, RAIN.

Den 07-26-2014 03:11 PM

it's hot and humid here... when it's not raining...

jaguarlyra 07-26-2014 03:50 PM

That's very true Tam. Shearing makes things taste better.

Tam I am 07-26-2014 07:15 PM

I see Senaiji! *hugs the serious dragon guy*

:D What's most fun is sharing with a polite toddler, one that doesn't scream and try to get the whole sharable item for their self.

Den 07-26-2014 07:15 PM

Today, I got to be sort of nerdy. There was a "We Are Batman" event at a comic book shop, and they were giving away a couple of freebies, so I went and got a mask and a comic. The mask makes me look a bit cross-eyed, tbh. I'll upload the picture and share it tomorrow.

Tam I am 07-27-2014 01:53 PM

At church yesterday the lady who leads songs talked about how she and her brother, as little children, talked their parents into going to a shopping mall across town from where they lived, because the paper or the TV said that Batman would be there. Well, they got there, and it was Adam West, out of costume. She said none of the kids wanted a thing to do with the guy, because he wasn't Batman. LOL

XD I would've been excited.

Tam I am 07-28-2014 09:42 PM

I guess kids weren't as nerdy then, or something. LOL

Lawtan 07-29-2014 12:11 AM

While I admit I am not as much of an Adam West Batman fan, it would still have been very cool to see. :D

Den 07-29-2014 11:47 AM

Got a couple checks cashed, put gas in Percy (I now have more than enough to get to work each day this week and I get paid on Friday, too! Score!), and now enjoying a good breakfast. Parmigiano Reggiano rinds are totally a breakfast food. XD

Den 07-30-2014 11:04 AM

I just realized that the tiny vial of glitter I have would be the ultimate weapon. If anyone got fresh with me, or ticked me off enough, I'd toss some of the glitter on them, and they'd then have to spend hours trying to clean it all off... microglitter is awesome. *is just a bit of a brat sometimes*

Lawtan 07-30-2014 12:57 PM

Ack! The Horror! The Glitter!

*Flees from the Glitter Valkyrie, AutobotDen*

*cackles wickedly* I'm the great and terrible AutobotDen!!! Fear my glittery might!!!

Crystallyn Whisper 07-30-2014 08:37 PM

*hovers by Den* So... I hear you like putting glitter on things. * w*

Lawtan 07-30-2014 08:52 PM

NOOOO!!! THE DEN TEAMS UP WITH THE GLITTER-GHOST!!! THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US!!!

XD

...I'll stop with the caps now...
