Moments and eras, thoughts and hopes.

avdesing — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 04:27:54 GMT

I recently said to my mum: ‘How different the times are in which we both live; everything has changed in an incredible way.’

To listen to whilst reading the reflection – Source

Often, when I recall things or circumstances I experienced twenty years ago, I feel as though they lie too far back in time, far more than twenty years, as if they were a fleeting memory or another life lived by someone else. Either things change far too quickly, or time no longer passes in the same way as it used to.

When I start thinking about times gone by, I feel that I have undergone many transformations, and I’m not just talking about the internal ones and the number of times I’ve changed in my life, because I chose to, but I’m referring to the external changes, to an entire generation that has lived through those dizzying changes intensely, transforming society as a whole.

I’ve lived through a time when the internet didn’t exist, when computers weren’t as we know them today, when mobile phones didn’t exist, and when we communicated by letter. The chance to play in the street without fear, and even to play with physical objects, real toys, rather than screens. And today, I look around me and find it incredible what’s happening; I also think about my own capacity to adapt, and how life has required me to change so many times, even in ways I didn’t choose myself.

I went from seeing groups of children playing in the streets, to other groups strolling carefree, gatherings at some of my friends’ homes, enjoying a park or a family dinner, to seeing people seemingly talking to themselves in the street, though in reality they’re talking to an AI on their phone, people who are lonelier, shut away in their homes, struggling with self esteem, where their self-worth comes from a ‘like’ on social media rather than the appreciation of family and friends.

A society where more importance is placed on a stranger leaving a little heart on a video or a post than on a hug from a loved one; a society where, generally speaking, though of course there are exceptions, the value of family, respect and kindness has been lost, and where young people walk as if in a world that isn’t this one.

I have gone from living in a world where creativity and intelligence were developed through research, reading, art and writing, to a world where I see people delegating everything to AI, because it’s easier, because it’s less work, or because the end result looks nicer. We have lost the ability to think for ourselves, intellectual development, and a logical, independent mind. Now AI thinks for us. It’s sad.

AI can be useful in some cases, such as when gathering information from different websites where an immediate response is needed for various reasons, or when it comes to technology that could save lives. But delegating everything to it, even the simplest tasks, is frightening because of the implications for the future. I wonder if we will let it think for us and, if so, what will become of the human race.

I’ve gone from living in a world where chivalry still existed amongst men, where they’d let a woman go first, hold the door open for her, give up their seat on a bus, or simply strike up a conversation with her, to a society where that no longer exists; young men look the other way, and in other cases are afraid to speak to a woman because they fear being accused of harassment. We’re witnessing some very strange times, where women call themselves feminists simply for being empowered, when in reality an empowered woman is one who decides for herself, takes care of herself and chooses her own path in life; she feels free, whilst always respecting the differences between herself and men, because we are different and that is the beauty of life and relationships.

WTF: The Walking Dead

tarazkp — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 21:08:39 GMT

We Talk Friday

(WTF)

This is a semi-regular series that I will run on Fridays to hold discussions on a current topic from the week gone. The aim is to keep them light and conversational, though some might be heavier - regardless of the content topic itself though, just have some fun engaging and discussing with whoever happens to put in the effort in the comments section below.

We Talk Friday Ep. 73:

1. How hard is it?

I don't get it. Every day in the US around 133 people suicide and there are about 60 murders each day also. Yet, it seems nearly impossible to kill someone with a "lethal" injection. Christa Pike would have had the dubious honour of being the first woman put to death in Tennessee for 200 years, but they botched the procedure and she not only lived, her condition might be too bad to put her to death again. Like what?

Around 190 overdose deaths in the US every day.

Now, rather than using past the use by date pentobarbital as the lethal injection, why not just use a healthy dose of fentanyl instead? It is pretty effective as people die with just a small amount laced into other drugs and I am sure it is cheaper to buy and can be bought on many street corners.

Problem solved.

Note: I am not a death penalty supporter.
(Soon we will be encouraged to end our lives so the rich may live richer)

2. Putin huylo, Oi Oi Oi

Finland played Belarus in a "controversial" football game in Helsinki, due to Belarusian support for the Kremlin and its war in Ukraine. Ukraine's ambassador wanted the game cancelled or shifted, but then we would have missed out on scenes like this tifo from the fans:

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko as a cockroach.

The crowd was also chanting "Putin huylo!" throughout the match which is Russian for,

Putin is a dick!

I am not a fan of politics in sport at all, especially when the sportspeople punished are coming from autocratic and violent regimes. Even if they wanted to, they can't speak out against the regime out of fear for themselves and families, but if they don't they are treated as supporters. That is bullshit.

The game ended 0-0

But 100% - Putin is a dick.

8===D

3. We got them

"We had them under view for a long time, and we got them."

This is what Trump said about the people who were captured in the UK near an airport and he also claimed that they were planning to do "big damage" - he does have a pretty impressive vocabulary. Apparently, the US and UK had been working closely together which led to the arrests.

However....

The call to emergency was from a local woman on her way back to her farm and police arrested them about 25 minutes later. So if they were being watched by the US and UK anti-terror units and the like, where were the agencies? Perhaps they were hoping the attack would go through and they could drum up some more war support.

However, all they had in the back was some petrol apparently, with "no viable explosive devices" at all. And then, due to the lack of whatever was necessary to hold them, they had all been released oon bail the next day, which means they aren't seen as a threat to the public.

More political nonsense, by the looks.

A New Respect for Occupational Therapists

agmoore — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 14:34:36 GMT

When my husband was preparing for discharge from the hospital in 2025, all kinds of specialists came to his bedside with volumes of paper work and sage advice. Among those who visited was an occupational therapist. This lovely woman had a collection of devices that would help him adjust to home life with a leg that wasn't going to work well for a while.

Below is a picture that shows some implements offered by the occupational therapist. I can identify a back sponge, a grabber, a shoe horn and specially adapted shoe laces. We can't figure out how the shiny blue item (looks like a scoop in the picture) was supposed to be used. The occupational therapist gave him a rundown on the purpose for each item, but there was so much happening that day, he doesn't remember what she said.

Last month my husband had another issue, unrelated to the leg, and was in the ICU for a few days. On discharge, once again, an occupational therapist visited and reviewed techniques he could use to transition safely to life at home. On his second encounter with the occupational therapist I paid close attention. That's because my granddaughter had just begun a graduate program in occupational therapy, and she has been working hard. More immediately she has been working hard and using me as a 'patient'.

I have to add here that paying close attention when a relative is in the hospital is a basic survival skill. The lovely, well-meaning occupational therapist was moving equipment into my husband's room from another patient's room...without sanitizing anything!! I asked politely if I could wipe down the equipment before my husband used it. She looked chagrined and wiped everything down. This is a really important step (patients in the ICU are especially vulnerable) to prevent transmission of pathogens from one patient to another (nosocomial transmission).

The occupational therapist had some good advice about the stages my husband should go through before standing. A sudden rise from a sitting position could lead to dizziness and a fall.

I imagined my granddaughter in that woman's role. I don't think my granddaghter would have neglected to sterilize shared equipment. In my family we're all germaphobes. While this can be annoying in everyday life, in a healthcare setting it is a very good trait to have.

Today I may be rehearsing with my granddaughter for an exam she is taking in the next few days. She does a lot of her graduate work remotely, through zoom sessions. I've already been on one zoom session with her teacher. We had a rehearsal before that session. My job was simply to respond to my granddaughter's cues as she worked on different tissue systems. Last week she worked on my arms. Tomorrow the session will focus on the lower part of my body and my legs.

Last night, before our rehearsal, my granddaughter told me I had to wear shorts. EEK!!! I'm 79 years old. She is going to have me in shorts on a live broadcast to her classroom. What a grandma does for love :)

Here is my aspiring occupational therapist when she was taking some of her first steps.

Not only am I to be in shorts, but I have to assume many different poses in these shorts as she works different tissue systems in my legs. She has to trace and identify these so that she knows how they all work together. It's a good thing I do yoga-type exercises before bed every night.

One thing I'm learning from my sessions as a 'patient' is that occupational therapists have at their command an enormous amount of information. I was a great biology student, in high school and college. However, I never before heard many of the terms she used. In order to be licensed to practice, the aspiring professional must pass the NBCOT (National Board for Occupational Therapy) exam.

Some of the terms I did recognize. As she went over my knee and said 'patella' I remembered my husband's orthopedist explained a reason he had difficulty straightening his leg was because of the patella tendon. 'Piriformis' was also a term I recognized. A few years ago I had a disabling issue with my piriformis muscle. A physical therapist helped me deal with that so it is not an issue any more.

Image below is Plate 345 from Gray's Anatomy--yes, it's a real book! The plate shows the patella bone in the knee and the patella tendon connecting the bone to the tibia. It's hard to get true flexibility back in the tendon if you've had tibia replacement surgery (which is the surgery my husband had in 2025). The image below is in the public domain because the book was published in 1918.

Productive Day - My Actifit Report Card: October 1 2026

newageinv — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:36:57 GMT

Despite having the day off, I was up early to get busy with the errands and chores I had in my plan. However, before getting to the list, I headed to the gym for a strength training session. I went heavy again and am feeling pretty good which will probably get me to raise the weight soon before ending this phase. I also had time before and after on the treadmill before ultimately landing at the Spa for some recovery. I had time so enjoyed it quite a bit.

I brought a change of clothes to the gym to head out for my errands from there which began slow but quickly accelerated. I got back home early afternoon to handle some things from there as I had emails and calls to make to ensure a couple of my projects continued to progress given some key tasks coming up. Before I knew it, it was kind to head downtown for an event which was later than I would have wanted but the reason of taking my day today. It was a productive day!

Landscapes of the Soulless

tarazkp — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 14:05:51 GMT

I like the art of graffiti.
I dislike useless graffiti.

There is no art in tagging or woofshit, throw-up pieces painters on public and private property. It is worse when these shitty "artists" repwtitevy paint their name like three year olds on people's fences, or on beautiful old buildings.

I sound like a grumpy, old man.

Which I am.

But that doesn't change the fact that there is little creativity in much of what is considered graffiti. The only social commentary it adds, is that those who do it are socially stunted attention-seekers without the balls or capacity to actually do anything of value that would put them in the spotlight as themselves.

The entry picture of this piece looked very much like that grey box below which sits next to it, but it looks like in the last couple days someone decided to do something different with it. Not great, but at least it is colourful and happy, rather than depressing like the box.

What is the point of this trash?

Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder, but if this is what people believe is beautiful whether visually or ideologically, there is something very wrong with them. And this isn't new of course, it has been happening for decades, but doesn't that tell something also?

About ten years ago I was taking photos in an abandoned building and a guy was in there painting. I talked to him and he let me take some photos that didn't show his face - but he was at least mid-thirties at the time and is probably still doing much the same today. But there are a couple generations between him and the kids who are doing it, which is depressing in its own right.

Not everything has to be beautiful, but it seems that so much of what we do today is not just ugly, it is also useless. There is no function to it other than feeding our own warped egos. Even social media which is filled with things that are meant to be beautiful, are actually dystopic, with pouting lips injected with synthetic chemicals and then edited with digital enhancements to create something that is meant to represent a human, but is the antithesis.

We live in a disreality.

Perhaps it is that we have shifted away from doing anything of meaning, to doing anything that makes us feel relevant in the moment.

"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes"
| Andy Warhol

He was somewhat correct, but perhaps Warhol thought that everyone would do something relevant, something meaningful. But the thing is that people are made to feel relevant without doing anything at all, and have at times zero publicity. Social media is just this, where people comment on random topics and feel like they have done something, that they have been seen, but they are just another comment in the mass of comments making zero real impression on anyone. They feel like they have a global audience, but no one is looking.

But it isn't for 15 minutes, it is daily.

In the past I think that fame generally had to come through achievement and often excelling at something. Or being a monster. Now though, fame isn't accomplished by doing something of note, it is by curating content that is meaningless to attract people who are willing to consume meaningless content. It is a race to the bottom for humanity, where rather than innovating to add value and build skill, it is innovation to most efficiently dilute it.

When beauty is all only skin deep.

A beautiful face to look at, doesn't make the owner a beautiful person. Looks fade, bodies sag, and a beautiful person can still be as beautiful and even more so. But when everything is skin deep, when there is no personality, no craft, no kindness, no process, no skill, no use - then what does it all become? What is the true value of something that is beautiful, but does nothing? When there is no story under the surface, no life journey, no meaning?

No soul.

Society is fast becoming a landscape of the soulless.

For the soulless.

I think i'm actually getting slower, but the runs are easier

normie.fitness — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 06:13:18 GMT

It's a little bit frustrating honestly. I have been doing more cardio in the past few months than I have ever done in my life outside of high school and yet, I don't seem to get any faster. I think I have plateaued and there will have to be some sort of really difficult effort on my part in order to change this.

What has happened lately is that I am not really pushing myself on my runs but instead I try to maintain a pace that isn't painful for me and I don't really mind doing it. I have found a comfortable 5k pace where it really isn't a big deal for me to run that far and I always feel like I could do more once I am finished.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/23yJiFkEUFm4dWsQeBuGcLKmhif9LJWfcfNqU9re6KcQpQKrp1WE4mXPHV5qhdijojKT8.png) [src](https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/vector-illustration-happy-man-crossing-260nw-2725314569.jpg)

But I must admit that I am a bit on the disappointed side when I do finally finish a run and then cool down walk home.. Then later I will look at the stats on my app and realize that I am actually going slower than I was a few months ago.

It's disheartening but at the same time, I have stopped looking at my pace and instead just listen to my body because one of the most important things to me has always been that I have to find exercise for me that I don't hate doing, I don't loathe getting it started because it is a somewhat enjoyable experience.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/23tRxWjyDbUJYKE3BX933tk8P6UCGSp74rZwkEu7PgVxaUQAA8BUeqmqqVgZMQA7ANqEi.png)

Still though, I kind of feel like I aught to be going faster than this, even if it is completely by accident.

Not that long ago I was chasing doing close to 6 min kilometers but I started to lose my desire to go running at all because it was so taxing on my body. I would frequently get sore afterwards and I had to negotiate with myself about whether or not I was going at all. The entire mantra and way of thinking behind "normie-fitness" is that I don't do things that I hate doing - that all of what I do is supposed to be something that while I might not look forward to it per se, I don't hate doing it either.

So I suppose I kind of set myself up to always end up in a fairly relaxed way of pacing myself.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/Eo6BEMDJ3VKxvurYL4CXqdNLj1biJpo8G4MP2Pgcinh7vPWBfaxUZfmZabVbJcgpYqL.png)

I know that I could go faster than this and in the past I have gone faster than this despite the fact that my endurance is actually a lot better now than it was back then. Did I lose my drive? I don't think so. I think what has happened is that I have found something that I know I can bang out in 40 minutes and feel ok after a shower whereas the way I was going at it before was something that sometimes I would get dangerously overheated and the next time I was contemplating doing it, I would really struggle to get motivated to do so.

So maybe I am doing something right, even though I am not all that pleased with the results.

My heart rate isn't improving as much as I would like it to either though, and that is disappointing as well. Perhaps I should see a doctor about this situation because it doesn't make much sense to me that a guy that does 4-6 hours of cardio per week has such a terrible BPM.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/23tRtaFZVQkeLBa1Tf3Jw63NXamXJjFkzR2m3VUL7nvDkEPy7uRYMn3fVEg52Vu2J8PwT.png)

There's people that I know that are older than me, exercise less than me, and are not looking as in good of shape as I do that have their BPM max that is much lower than mine.

Regardless of this disappointing results I am going to keep doing what I am doing. In fact, I am about to go head out for another run in the dead heat of day right now. Maybe it will be better.

3 in 1 would be great!!!...

It's funny that we have turned the word “interested” almost into an insult, when in a relationship it can mean exactly the opposite. Because to be interested in someone is also to keep asking. Keep wanting to know what he thinks, what he feels, what changed, what worries him, what he dreams now. It is not to assume that because we have been next to a person for twenty years, that we already know them completely.

Not necessarily because love is over, but because curiosity is over. We still love the person, yes... but sometimes we want the version we knew ten, twenty or thirty years ago. And meanwhile, that person kept living, changing, understanding new things, letting go of others.

Perhaps one of the most profound forms of intimacy is being able to look at the one you love and tell him... Let's talk I still want to meet you.

Because to feel loved is wonderful. But to still feel seen, heard and interesting to the person you love... that's another thing, it's another level.

So yes, dear husband was right: I am a very interesting woman!!!! In his thoughts, in his stories, in what he feels, in what I still don't know about him.

And don't worry... your credit cards are still perfectly safe. 😂 Of course, when we are senior citizens, we no longer want a prince, or any fairy tale princess, we just want a couple that makes us laugh, that helps us solve, and that has tricks like magicians up its sleeve because it is the couple that still knows how to create expectation, that does not let the relationship fall into routine, that appears with a surprise, an invitation, a look, an idea or a plan that we never imagined.

The man or the woman, at our ages after 55 they are equated to a Swiss army knife, these are useful and practical tools; they behave very well first of all. Situation. Although it is very true that no relationship works if there is no reciprocity.

It is also true that when we love, the Interest for that other person is never lost, although there are many men and women who do not like that type of interest, they see it as an invasion of personal space, I imagine they are not ready for a deep and mature love. In both cases there is no reciprocity, and that is very common.

We are changing with the passing years, and how nice it is that the changes come accompanied in the identity that we share in a relationship to continue discovering and getting to know each other.

And I hope they come in the same packaging because we are not here to manage three boyfriends or girlfriends either.

Happy Friday! 😁……..My Actifit Report Card: October 2 2026

elizabethbit — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 03:51:06 GMT

TGIF! Happy Friday everybody!

It’s ironic—isn’t it, when the day flies by and you realize it’s later than you think and then……..it’s like the day suddenly is in slow-mo! The afternoon drags on and on and on!

That’s how the day went for Marissa and me. Fortunately, the end does come!😎. We were fairly busy until the afternoon which may have had something to do with that slow-mo feeling. Next week will be a marathon week, but for now—I’m NOT thinking about it.

Dandelions are usually the first sign that spring is on the way however when they go to seed, it can be a winding down of the warmer seasons, especially when looking at the landscape around them.

A dandelion going to seed always bring joy to a child for they’re soft and are dispersed with the soft blowing of breath! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a child not enjoy them!

As an adult, we see that seed disbursement as a threat that more will come along if our goal is to eradicate them from the yard. But…….what if……..just for a moment, you forget that, think like a child noticing the awe they find in the fuzzy white top and sit back and gently blow on one? Perhaps we all could use a little child-like wonder!

So maybe this weekend, go out and find yourself a dandelion top. Examine it closely and then gently blow the seeds! Maybe make a wish while you’re at it! 😁😎👍

That’s gonna be all for me. Tomorrow is the festival at Stoney Ridge Farm. Looking forward to it and tons of pics, pumpkins and gourds along with fresh apples and some cider! It’s supposed to be a stunningly gorgeous day!

Take care and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! 🙏🌏🙏

👣🐑☕️🎃🎃🎃🍁🍂🍄‍🟫🌻🌞🌽🎃🎃🎃🌙🥱😴

BSB Psalm 2:1-10

My son, if you accept my words
and hide my commandments within you,
if you incline your ear to wisdom
and direct your heart to understanding,
if you truly call out to insight
and lift your voice to understanding,
if you seek it like silver
and search it out like hidden treasure,
then you will discern the fear of the LORD
and discover the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity,
to guard the paths of justice
and protect the way of His saints.
Then you will discern righteousness
and justice and equity—every good path.
For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will delight your soul.

Leave it Be

tarazkp — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 17:46:12 GMT

I read the news from Australia and it seems that daily, there are stories of brawls and beatings, break-ins, car theft and home invasions - by children and teens. You know, the ones who can't remember not having a smartphone in their hands. They seem incredibly nihilistic, violent and altogether dickish. Yet, there are still many who keep on saying how brilliant these youngsters are, how creative. But all I see is packs of youths chasing fights to film on their phones. And these packs aren't small, there are hundreds involved at times, boys and girls.

What do the apologists for them, say about them?

This isn't normal immature behaviour.

Each generation should be a bit like spring, full of promise. But I don't get that from the last few and while I know some in each group that are indeed relatively normal, they are far outnumbered. And the challenge is that each of them are going to be surrounded by quite a horrible (by the looks of things) group of peers who will interact and influence them. How many truly have a chance?

The other day I was reading a story from the US about a girl who was drugged and raped at a frat house, and one of the "bros" messaged into a wide group chat to come and get some or something or other. Now, as sick as the crime is, what is even sicker is that this person and the group are so openly dismissive of the disgustingness of their own behaviour. They are shameless.

It is similar with these people filming fights that they are getting into on purpose over very little and then when they are on the news, they blur out the faces. Fuck that, *show their fucking faces so that someone can smack them in it. Because I think that is what a lot of these kids actually need.

A fucking hard spanking.

The thing with bad behaviour is if it isn't corrected, it will normalise and become habit, become culture. When there is no shame, no punishment, no humiliation, no pain for acting poorly, it is akin to rewarding the behaviour. What kinds of punishments have these kids received in the home or at school?

Hugs.

I think the experiment of soft parenting should be retired a failure, because the world's children are not getting better with parents who are their friends and the only tool they have at their disposal, is a discussion. Words are great, but they are not enough. As they say, actions speak louder than words and the actions of many youths today tell a very loud story.

Failure.

Failure of parents. Failure of society. Failure of Humanity.

I'd like to know where all these good kids are and what they are going to be able to do in twenty years from now. From what I see in the stories as well a lot of "good kids" are breaking down, depressed and committing suicide.

Of course, the news never paints a pretty picture, but I know people who live in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and various regional areas also and, they say much the same as the news, with first-hand experience. And I suspect that Australia doesn't live in a youth crim vacuum and this is repeating all over the world in various ways.

The leaves of the latest generations have fallen.

It may be time to rake them together, and compost them.
