    I'm not brave enough for nude yoga..aerial yoga,on the other hand, looks super fun. I'm actually terrified of heights but i always forget that I am until I find myself in the air in a precarious position and go into panic attack mode

    I'm calling bullshit. Everytime I feed the pups solid food they play then poop then play then sleep. All within 30 minutes.
    Got tired of cleaning poop so took them outside today.
    Not a poopsicle in sight.

    It means I've figured out to prove that all of logic, physics, and modern science are based on bullshit. Should be good for a laugh. :)

    so the physics of bouncing a basketball are bullshit?

    Bullshit is defined as "what's missing from this picture" and, for example, if a basket ball were solid it wouldn't bounce. The opposite is also true and, for example, past a certain point a vacuum chamber will refuse to empty any further no matter how hard you try. Something and nothing define one another just like up and down, back and front, left and right because a context without significant content is a contradiction, hence, logic and bullshit, physics and magic, define one another. We can talk about them as if they are separate and distinct and, for example, an astronaut in orbit can decide to think of every direction as up simply because thinking of any direction as down makes them space-sick, however, there are some situation such as when discussing quantum mechanics where the practice becomes counterproductive.

    My granddaughter who is an 8th Grader, got invited, based on her PSAT score, to pariticipate in AP Human Geography next year.

    I think that's pretty cool.

    It's a college course.

    Exactly, if it were solid it wouldn't be a basketball and if were not hollow the ball wouldn't bounce. Here's an ancient Chinese poem that describes the same principle:

    Thirty spokes meet at a nave;
    Because of the hole we may use the wheel.
    Clay is moulded into a vessel;
    Because of the hollow we may use the cup.
    Walls are built around a hearth;
    Because of the doors we may use the house.
    Thus tools come from what exists,
    But use from what does not.
    (Peter Merel GNL interpolation)
    What I'm attempting to prove is that both logic and physics revolve around what's missing from this picture, or bullshit, or they would be useless. Its both harder and easier to do than it might sound because the only way to prove it is to provide a systems logic capable of describing anything and everything including how to reconcile quantum mechanics and relativity.

    My daughter has an appointment in a few weeks to try on wedding dresses. She's taking me, her new maid of honor, and another friend.

    I'm so excited!

    I took a couple of different AP classes in high school. You take the class in your high school like normal but take an exam at the end of the year - the exam is what determines if you get college credit, you can take the class and not receive a credit if you dont do well on the exam

    Its a great program, the classes are free so will save some money in college. I knew a couple of people who had a semester's worth of credits already when they started college

    Hello all! I've been sick with pneumonia and avoiding screens like the plague because of headaches but I'm feeling somewhat better and missed all my hip friends!
