Agreed! Be safe! I just read a timeline of a man who was fully vaccinated in March - He died today. His 8 year old daughter was the first to test positive, last month. Then his wife and then him. He ended up in the iCU. The last video he sent talked about not wasting one moment but instead live your purpose. I had a feeling the virus picked and chose its victims. But I thought the vaccination actually lessened the symptoms. I didn't understand why the CDC said to take off your masks - I didn't. All this to say - I'm heart broken. No one knows anything about this virus other than it's deadly - FOR SOME. @Pioneer1 I hope you can find a way to earn income without having to leave the house. When I read that you didn't get vaccinated I was sad. Today, I'm learning we are all in the same boat - vaccinated or not. Maybe it's a good thing you left your job - at least you don't have to worry about those folks breathing on you anymore. Yes, you make me crazy but I'd miss you if you departed. Put some lambs' blood on your door and hope for the best! 😛

Great sounds by great artists who me and my husband may have been checkin out back in our jazz clubbin days...the way we were. \

There are a lot of viruses period going around on the internet. There's no telling what these devils may have put out to jam up people's systems. I'm not a computer expert but I don't understand why they have to be so complicated in the first place. They MAKE them so that they're vulnerable to glitches and viruses. On top of that...... When dial-up first came out it was moving fast. Then the DSL cable came out....and dial-up started "slowing down". If you wanted faster service you had to go with DSL. The wifi became more prevalent....then DSL mysteriously started "slowing down" so that everyone gets wifi. It's a GAME these people are playing. They make up a bunch of damn problems just to get you to spend more money to get back to where you were originally.

Dave has nothing to apologize for. Here's something I've noticed, even since I was a teenager....... It seems that Caucasians who are weird, strange, have problems and issues who are often ostracized from the general Caucasian society will often come around Black people. These FREAKS will just start hanging around Black people and learning the lingo and culture and just post up around our people sometimes to have a "friend". Black folks can be sitting at the table chilling, eating lunch and enjoying themselves and some freakish White boy with 3 heads and an arm growing out of his back wants to come sit his ass down at the table with them; talking about "Yo yo whaddup bros!" It's the same with a lot of Trans individuals. Many of them are ostracized from the larger White society because of how they live and behave an their own people don't accept them, so a lot of them want to connect and hook up with Black folks and form political and social relationships with our people. We shouldn't go for that. If your own people don't want you and think you're weird.....why are you hanging around here trying to hook up with us? Go form your own little group down by the river.

This approach makes sense - this way you can check accuracy at the same time. Do you keep a digital or paper ledger? I work on information modeling projects like this but I write on scraps of paper -and then in books then I forget why I was doing it - until I need it again lol. Thank you for sharing the process.

@ "Whomever" I am blocked by a firewall named Go Daddy from stating new posts here. I can just add to my old posts or comment on someone else's thread. My smart phone and my computer are hopelessly entangled because of me trying to register as myself on my smart phone so i could post from it, and then trying to unsuccessfully open another account under another screen name since i couldn't pull off the first procedure. It's like artificial intelligence is getting its revenge on me. Of course, it's possible that the Universe is trying to tell me something to the effect that it's best to keep my thoughts to myself. Might be a quantum physics message cluing me that all those posts I bypass don't exist because they are unobserved. Could even be I am being punished - or rewarded for divorcing my race. Or - maybe Troy simply got tired of my pictures and music videos. Who can blame him? Whatever. See ya when i see ya.

@Mel Hopkins I created about 130+ Time Markers but I didn't know what they meant. Some techniques I create, and over time I learn how to apply them. The first time I used it, I had an idea of what it might mean based on the symbols. The time marker I got from the time on a vacation photograph. So I looked through a fe hundred transits and in the matter of minutes I found a few matching time markers. Then I looked briefly at the charts and chose the one that felt like the right one. I was able to tell the person what they had for lunch, based on the time marker. I was correct in addition it was a food item only eaten while vacationing at the spot in the photo. I figured if I have to wait for someone to ask it is probably going to take me years to assign meaning to all the time markers. So even though I don't have meanings for them all. I assign a meaning as needed.

Mzuri I personally don't believe it came from China. I believe it...like most diseases...came from the Caucasians and they are PUTTING it on China. Even if it came from the land of China, it was probably some Caucasians messing around inside of China. Neely Fuller Jr. says when you see tragedies like this...look for the USUAL SUSPECTS (White racists). They're usually behind it one way or the other. Whether you have been vaxxed or not. This pandemic is far from being over. Absolutely, this Pandemic is FAR from over. Infact I believe it's still in it's beginning stages. It keeps mutating and mutating. Unlike most Conspiracy Theorists, I don't believe they're exaggerating the number of deaths....I think they're actually SUPPRESSING the number of people who are actually getting sick and dying from this mess. I think they're keeping the numbers suppressed because they don't want to public to panic and they want to keep people working and spending money. They want people to suck it up and go back to work, but they haven't declared the Pandemic OVER yet. They just keep playing with the numbers....up down up down....flat..up in Alabama...down in Michigan....up in New York...down in California. Just playing games. Weeks...months...YEARS....up...down....up..down. While Pfizer and Moderna are getting RICHER AND RICHER. Mel Hopkins I'm actually not afraid of death...it's HOW I die that concerns me, lol. But death itself is just a transition from one Reality to another. As far as the jab... They keep telling one lie after another about this mess. First they said if you took it you wouldn't get sick. Then they claimed IF you got sick it wouldn't be as severe. THEN they claimed you wouldn't be hospitalized. THEN they claimed you wouldn't die. Now that folks took it and are STILL dying....they say "Look...just shut up and take it anyway. And if you say something we'll cut you're money off. How about that!!!" Like I said earlier I'm not going to turn this into an anti-vaxx rant. I respect Troy and his site too much to get it flagged or labeled as such. But while the media is TRYING to portray this is a Trump Supporter or right-wing position....we've had many many Black leaders like Minister Farrakhan who warned us NOT to go along with the madness. But the media just IGNORES the Black people who speak out and question it. Pretend they don't exist. Which I find suspicious. I didn't understand why the CDC said to take off your masks - I didn't. I understood it. They aren't serious about ending the Pandemic. They want to PROLONG it. I barely graduated from highschool and I know if you tell people to take their masks off and walk around Wal-Mart again that they were gonna spread the damn virus. They KNEW it was gonna be a surge when they told people that if they were jabbed they could take their masks off....especially when you have no way of verifying their status and going by some "honor code" The CDC and other organizations operated by Caucasians have a HISTORY of lying to the public which is why I don't trust them. They know the truth....they just don't tell it. Or if they DO tell it....they wait 50 years later when most of those who are involved in it are DEAD before the real truth of it comes out. That's their PATTERN over and over again. But when you don't trust them to begin with...you don't have to worry about it.

Mzuri I now call CNN the "Crying News Network" Between Don Lemon and Van Jones coming on crying every two or three weeks over something....those two seem to be part of a tag-team to humiliate Black men. Van Jones cried when Trump became President....then the nicca turned around and cried when BIDEN became President! He'll cry for any damn thing. Just say "good morning" to the clown and he's liable to break out crying. "Ahhhaaa....you said good morning. But it's the WAY you said it...ahhhhh."

What happened? Do share please! It will allow us to have a deeper understanding. I'm glad Cynique mentioned it - I was avoiding the thread because it takes an emotional toll 🤕 on me to engage with the esoteric, especially anything metaphysical. Now I look forward to reading about your process.

************************************************************************************ @Pioneer1 I believe that China released that virus on purpose to interfere with our elections and weaken our defenses. There are several Congress people with China ties and I just don’t trust our leadership anymore. I am in a hot spot and I haven’t gone to the store since this started in February 2020. Everything we need has been delivered from Walmart, Sam’s, Costco, Schwans and wherever else. Some people I know insist that they need to see the tomato before they can buy it; NO they don’t. Just buy a bag of tomatoes and when they bring it to your door it will be fine. If you don’t need to leave your home, don’t take any chances. Whether you have been vaxxed or not. This pandemic is far from being over. ************************************************************************************

Good point! Well said.

Yes I would have said it in reverse. You can choose the experience you want to feel: acceptance; understanding; focus; relaxation; calm; easy commute. Then I give you the time. The time is chosen based on a timeframe you select. And most can't be given to other people, and that time is chosen based on your date of birth. However there are two instances where that a non birth time marker can be given

@Del&@Mel Hopkins So is this like... living in the moment and - becoming the moment, the moment being a set time determined by a marker of one's choice??? Was "Lucy" the movie about a female android in heat? 😍

i ddin’t notice but it is. I may not write the book - but I’ll asks the ancestors to help me write a blog post. Which will become the book.

Right. The equivalent of throwing rocks at the window hoping to get into a party without an invitation. 😁 Yet, it doesn't stop black folks from trying to force white folks to pay attention to and/or validate them. Pathetic. 😎

So do you think black jazz masters are not on a par with Beethoven, Mozart. Chopin , Shubert. Handel, et al, whose works are timeless and who hold permanent places of honor in the annals of white classical music? I absolutely do think black Jazz masters and their works are timeless on a par with and held in high regard within the Jazz community just like their European counterparts of classical music. Why do you think vintage jazz artists and present day ones can't co-exist and be judged on their individual merits??? Vintage Jazz artists and present day musicians do co-exist. The former are canonized. The latter are judged on their individual merits within their ability to interpret the music and keep it alive. Within the Jazz community, musicians do honor and respect the legacy of the past masters both in the way they play and as evidenced by the fact that there are plenty Jazz tunes (standards) that every Jazz musician should know. Jazz musicians past up to present are still playing and recording standard tunes. A Traditional Jazz musician should be able to hit with other players on any Jazz gig, anywhere on the planet without a single rehearsal based on their common knowledge of tunes left to us by the giants of Jazz. Why does it have to be one or the other when it comes to listening to them? That depends on the listener(s). Jazz is America's classical music. But, it's also an acquired taste. When someone says they like Jazz, it helps to know what kind of Jazz they like. John Coltrane and Kenny G are worlds apart. Traditional Jazz was a popular form of music from the 1930s through the mid-1960s. It's popularity began to wane as other styles of music emerged in the 1960s and beyond. As I mentioned, Miles incorporated new sounds into Jazz which led to different styles of it. As a result, listeners moved accordingly. Like Brussels sprouts, a small group of folks still listen to and appreciate Traditional Jazz. I think most Jazz listeners nowadays prefer the McDonalds version of it. 😎

This hadn't occurred to me.

Blacks role is defining the bottom.
