Much as I love them, I didn't like a company having access to my biometrics, and never turned it on. Ever. <br />1-A.) I won't provide Ancestry.com with a sample of my DNA, either, for reasons similar to 'why I never wore the FitBit', above.<br />2.) Two watches I wear regularly: One a Citizen <i>Eco-drive</i> automatic, because it was a <i>solar watch</i> and how cool is that; and a PX-purchased 1969 Seiko automatic, now very hard to get repaired, as the Seiko company will no longer warranty it.<br />3.) Trump is a bloated, crazy loon, whose operation can no longer be warrantied, either. <br />4.) <i>Fiber and Slurry</i>. As Told To Charles Krauthammer's hair colorist.<br />5.) Jeebus H.; The Chuckles and Nancy Show, whose operations can be depended upon to Fluff The Powers, every time.<br />6.) Neue Jahres Kommt: My favorite part is where anyone with an annual income of more than $25 million is "no longer classified as human", and therefore unable to charge that their human rights are being violated.<br />7.) <i>No NBA!</i> Kind of like <i>No Parasan!</i> but, you know, not.Mongo, At The Momenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973606827337262084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-11153572842815515632018-01-08T10:19:58.080-05:002018-01-08T10:19:58.080-05:001)i enjoyed davidly's addition of the watchfac...1)i enjoyed davidly's addition of the watchfaces to the egoslavia graphic<br /><br />2)with regard to time, i recently wrote to an author of a book on 'the fourth way'<br />[see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Way]<br /><br /><i>From time to time I think of G.'s aphorism, "One of the best means for arousing the wish to work on yourself is to realize that you may die at any moment. But first you must learn how to keep it in mind." My dad lived until 96, but he was noticeably diminished in his last few years. My mother died with all her faculties - from lung cancer, at the age of 60. I used to be well above average in intelligence - now I think I am moderately above average.</i><br /><br />the author replied, after stating that he is my age:<br /><br /><i>I recall and sympathize with your take on aging. However, it could be less your age and more that you now see things, including yourself and the "advantages" of the intellect, in clearer perspective. Don't sell yourself short.

More functionality than I need. Yet, my analog automatic watch is slowing. I don't know how to crack it open or adjust. Only watch repair place nearby just closed. My desperation level rises.
