your best bet is to wear/carry something reasuring, and safe that will be a source of strength when ....................
Wow - I never imagined finding a red thingy on the beach could be such a fascinating subject.
I can't wait to hear what you find tomorrow Frank and what we can learn about ourselves from it.
It seems Frank is off to a BBQ this afternnon;
i'm not sure exactly what he will be able to make of an undigested bit of hamburger, but it's well worth waiting for!
Holding my breath.........
breathe, BoGoWo, breathe!
This thread on a philosophy forum? This is obviously going nowhere!
Red, Philosophy often ends up "going nowhere."
when philosophy has nowhere to go, you have arrived!
Okay! Apples and oranges! Pick one! Or Was socrates really that ugly? How about Aristotle, backstabber of Plato or Plato an over emotional shelly?
how does shelly Winters figure in all this?
Call me naieve but whose shelly winters?
Perhaps Percy Bysshe was in mind....Shelly Winters was an actress who used to be hot, then got horridly fat....before your time, Red. Anyway, she was a good actress, here is some info:

Also, she was quite witty. Here are some quotes:
"In Hollywood, all the marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems."
"I did a picture in England one winter and it was so cold I almost got married."
'The best way to find out about a man is to have lunch with his ex-wife'
"I had to gain forty pounds for this movie."
"I have bursts of being a lady, but it doesn't last long."
(her career-longevity advice) "You gotta play mothers. If you don't you won't get a long career in Hollywood."
Who are we at A2K to deny sharing knowledge?
I think I might know exactly who this shelly winters is!
Deny what? Boy am i nosey!
A little Percy Bysshe, while sort of on the subject of one Shelley or another:
Mutability
Percy Bysshe Shelley
We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;
How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver,
Streaking the darkness radiantly! -yet soon
Night closes round, and they are lost for ever:
Or like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings
Give various response to each varying blast,
To whose frail frame no second motion brings
One mood or modulation like the last.
We rest. -- A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise. -- One wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:
It is the same! -- For, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free:
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutablilty.
