Is it just me or does anyone else suffer from restless leg syndrome?

I've had it. A good slapping helps.

Having a pond in your yard with fish and a waterfall is really nice. When I lived with my mom at our old place we had one that we dug out on our own, and built it. it was a fun experience and once I get my own place with a yard I want to do it again. :D

Water features are nice. I would have a pond but the raccoons would consider it a smorgasbord.

My mother and her husband bought a farm a few years ago that had never been known for its generous water supply, that is until they had it water-witched by an elderly, 90+ year old man who is famous around these parts for his uncanny ability to find the stuff, dusted off the machinery and dug at the 'X'. They hit the jackpot of all water sources and consequently dug an adjoining pond. That was ten years ago. The water was silk to the skin to swim in, but two years later the geese found it and that was the end of swimming. I like geese and would never harm one, but they sure poop a lot, LOL.

You never know what is under the ground. I know for a fact we have a large swimming pool in the back that the person before us had filled in, and for no other reason than that she was selling the house and it might be a safely issue. Boo! Saftety issues and money pits. If you have the cash, have it dug out and see what's up.

Your place got a pool? Ty Webb: We have a pond in the back. We have a pool and a pond... Pond'd be good for you.

okay so this is deep and I apologize for the doubts and implications I am about to present.
Have we stopped natural evolution with both our compassion and science? We no longer operate under survival of the fittest. We have fertility treatments for people unable to conceive naturally, we take care of and nurture those hurt or born disadvantaged. With special schools and programs, we support those that either can't or won't work for their living wage. I know in my heart that compassion is the right thing, but is it also a detriment to the greater good in the long run?

Likely no. But we certainly have the potential to alter it.

When was the last time you tried to write anything with your non dominant hand?

But my question here would probably be, can we be too compassionate? there by stopping our evolution... To the point where it also destroys us as a species? We are often fooled by our hearts to do things not in the best interest of survival. like parents not vaccinating their kids yet using anti-bacterial everything so that we set-up super bug situations. idiot warnings on everything... like common sense has to be informed. Are we dumbing the gene pool by coddling the unfortunate, the stupid, and the weak?
Though like sniper eluded we probably don't have that long here anyway. Current thought from climate scientists is we have already hit the tipping point and cannot undo what we have done to the planet. So by as early as 2036 we could see wholesale extinction, famine, climate disasters.

So by as early as 2036 we could see wholesale extinction, famine, climate disasters. I don't buy into the doom and gloom. And even if I did buy into that premise, I don't see hundreds of thousands of years of evolution being wiped out so easily through a few decades of idiocy. That defies logic. As to the gene pool, I'd say that there's a fairly good shot that we're changing it. Dumbing it down? I'm not certain. But changing? yes.

When was the last time you tried to write anything with your non dominant hand? In one of my classes last week the professor had us write with our non-dominant hand backwards from left to right. For me it was easier to write the letters backwards as well. Some students wrote the word backwards but the letters regular. We had to write 6 sentences.

Da Vinci wrote backward. He scribbled in one of his margins: "Why is my soup cold?"

Robert Ripley always drew his "Believe It Or Not!" cartoons upside-down. (The cartoons were upside-down, not Ripley himself.) He collected cars, but never learned to drive... and was so fascinated with Asian culture that for a time he signed his cartoons "Rip Li."
