Every 80 years we go through a crisis. The last one was around 1940-1945. This one will likely be 2020-2025. I noticed that men and women born after 1992 tend to have smaller head sizes. Since those born after 1932 men have been peddled the “lose all hope is freedom” hunter gatherer mentality. This smaller head size and larger body size is an emphasis on the “hunter” mindset. Those artists born from 1913-1932 had a very large head size. “Farmer” mind mentality. Since those born after 1992 (1993-2012) is a reflection of this state of mind. These men and women are the “artists”. Those born from 1893-1932 basically had master farmer mind mentality. While those born from 1973-2012 are the ultimate savages.

Since a crisis happens every 80 years, and we tend to segregate generations then there must be a new generation every 20 years.

Thus:

2013-2032: Prophets
1993-2012: Artists
1973-1992: Heroes
1953-1972: Nomads
1933-1952: Prophets
WWII Crisis: 1940-1945
1913-1932: Artists
1893-1912: Heroes
1873-1892: Nomads
1853-1872: Prophets
Major Crisis: 1860-1865
1833-1852: Artists
1813-1832: Heroes
1793-1812: Nomads

1775-1785 American Revolution crisis

Older artists are usually foot soldiers of crisis. Heroes are the heroes of the crisis. Younger artists are too young to fight the crisis. Nomads are the older leaders. Prophets are just watching from afar. Old artists are in nursing homes or chillen in retirement

Master Farmer Mind should be a more commonly used term.

Ok, I wasn't going to post this, but since you went there. I used to spend times in hotels in Lansing because I pretty much worked all the time and lived far away. And for some reason, I always removed my jewelry when I went to bed. So one day, I check out of the hotel and as I'm walking out the door I noticed I didn't have my wedding band. I freaked... and not so much about it being missing (which was important) but more so the appearance and explanation I would have to give my wife.

The hotel desk clerk took on the same aura when I asked for a key to search the room. Fortunately, I found it lying in the hallway elevator lobby. I had placed in my pocket and it popped out when I removed something.

tWife has lost stones and broken hers as well. Basically, we haven't worn them for about 20 years now.

(oh, and the bitch mistress wouldn't even help me look for the ring)

I wish mine would be that easy to find. I had my hands into about a thousand different things yesterday, looking for screws in several junk drawers in my garage and my pole barn. Pawing through my tool box and piles of stuff next to it. Loading brush and unloading brush. Climbing up and down ladders installing a light outside and taking down a weather station. Digging out my yard roller and using it. It could be literally anywhere in my yard and quite possibly rolled into the ground. It's been fitting real loose lately and I kept putting off buying a ring sizer so I wouldn't lose it.

Ohh, well it’s probably in your pants then.

Its my turn to pick out the restaurant Friday. I e read nothing but good things about the River Crab in St Clair. So I go to book a table for Friday and I see this picture. What’s going on here?

Yeah, I checked there five or six times. I think it might be buried in the mulch I put in the garden. I'm taking the metal detector out later to check and see.

Good luck! I hope you find it. I would freak out.

The husband and I recently spent around $1500 rebuilding both our rings. Shortly after getting married, we found out we're both allergic to white gold. So we always got our rings re-rhodium plated every 6 months. Apparently, doing this for over 10 years wears it down, and they both became irreparable. I also found out, Kay's jewelry does a shitty job securing mounting (no surprise there).

We debated with the rebuild by switching to platinum. But then we would be getting rid of the original gold from the rings. And we felt like that wouldnt be "our" rings. So we took them to a small privately owned place who melted it down, added more gold, kept the diamonds, and secured the stones better. Rhodium always wears down, but we will "retire" those rings at some point. Some day we will just buy new platinum rings to wear.

Cool story bro, I know.
Hope you find it Jake.

I have to leave at 330 AM with the little ones to go to the airport.
But right now I'm at an emergency vet for my cat Casper. Shitty timing. So hoping everything will be alright. He should still have 2-4 good years left in him. And he's so amazing with my girls.

He's packing and getting all our stuff ready.
I would go crazy if I wasn't with this cat. This cat is my life.

by **Dendrobates** 2022-04-28, 23:06

Looks like he's going to be alright.
Some gastroenteritis. Antivomiting, antidiarrhea shots, fluids, pain meds, and an enema for that.
His organs are great (which I was worried with his diabetes).
For now needs more of his wet diabetic cat food than dry because of the fiber in that.

Speaking of no fingers. I lost my wedding ring yesterday. Wife is not going to be happy.

Had that happen to me one night, had to search the second balcony of Hill & the route from Hill to Cottage Pizza three times but never found it & yes, the SO wasn't at all happy, nether was I.

Eventually had a copy made.

However, I went off wearing any jewelry, I don't like feeling of jewelry, not even wrist watches, so it sits on my dresser on a ring stand and is seldom worn.

Why was I so excited to get the first non-handicap parking spot at planet fitness today? I mean you are going in there to work out. Yet it just feels good to park close to the entrance so you don’t have to walk through the parking lot. It’s a weird dynamic trying to get a parking space with a short walking distance even though you’re going into work out. I feel like George Costanza when I get the good parking spot

That is the money spot Dwags. Extra space to get in/out and for activities. Got it yesterday and it was raining. If that spot is not open, I'll go to the end of the lot, away from other cars and kick on my walk in music.

Convocation was yesterday my daughters graduation is tomorrow wore a blue sports jacket white shirt no tie yesterday. Got a new suit for tomorrow. I was trying to keep up with some of the kids, who were actually Grady this morning. Last night at Lou Ha’s. I tapped out around 12:40 Am. My wife hung. I stumbled home. My daughter said the post gamed it at her apartment and woke up early to see some of their friends graduate. Holy shit are those days long gone. God bless the 21 year olds ability to recover. I think they over served me.

I bought a swingset for the kids. We knew going into it, we don't have time to build that shit. Could we? Sure. But I'd rather not raise my BP and us dealing with annoying kids as it's being built.
So some guys are building it right now. Most of the reviews mentioned it taking all weekend, a few said a minimum of 8 hours. These guys think they can do it all today. I don't think they can.
