Well done essay.
Navigating these two worlds is a constant sadness hanging in the back of the closet we enter every day.

Sunday January 15 is my 76th birthday. I answer some of your questions.
by Terry inhappy birthday 2 me!!.
sunday is my 76th birthday and i know that you want to know how it "feels" to have outlived my usefulness, to have lost my natural beauty (being reduced to wrinkles and flab), and constantly walking into a room not knowing why i'm there.
you also are curious as to how i can continue to find a reason to live since none of my kids think my opinions have any possible value, most of my facebooks friends i wouldn't recognize if i tripped over them on my way into starbucks, and my monthly expenditure on bird treats exceeds u.s. spending on the military.

Do you Attend University scholarly Lectures
by peacefulpete inwe've been privileged to attend a number of outstanding lectures on a wide range of scientific topics, some by now quite famous researchers.
for example, we attended a caltech discussion/lecture by svante paabo not long after his initial work on neanderthal dna was released and met him after the lecture.
he wasn't a dynamic speaker but a humble man who obviously felt more comfortable in the lab than on the podium.

A group of us from the board went to see a lecture by Richard Dawkins also at Caltech. Ray Comfort was there enforce and I accepted an "Origen of the Species" from him.
I enjoyed it very much.

I really love Paris. Congratulations to you both for celebrating some meaningful milestones.
All the museums are great, and my favorite cathedral is https://www.sainte-chapelle.fr/en/ Amazing artistry in stained glass.
I love neighborhood bistros, whatever is on the chalkboard for the day, Prix fixe. I agree get the baguette at the bakery, cheese at the cheese shop etc., be sure and have crepes from a street vendor.
the opera house is magnificent. One tip is to get a pass and take the bus to tour the city and different neighborhoods. The subway is efficient, but on the bus you see the city. I also think a boat ride on the Seine is worth it.
it’s a magical city. Again congrats and safe travels.

Was / Is God biased ? prejudiced against certain Peoples / Tribes or Nations ?
by smiddy3 inlet me explain :.
after the creation account of the bible, tribes of people and nations began to form and spread around the land.. god first chose noah and his family to protect them as he destroys all others in the flood.. and he ticks off everyone in babel ?
and then he favours abraham and his descendants as the nation of israel culminating in the jewish lineage to jesus the son of god.. he has never had any dealings with any other people`s or nation isn`t that some form of favouritism ?

Arthritis pain. What works for you?
by Fisherman inthere are several prescription meds people use to relieve the pain of arthritis.
they work by suppressing the immune system or by reducing inflammation.
people also use otc anti-inflammatory pills, and even anti-allergy pills are reported to work because of being able to also reduce inflammation but people tell me that they are concerned to use some meds regularly because of potential side effects in long term use.

Anti inflammatory diet. When I go off and eat things I shouldn't, the pain immediately returns. I don't need medication if I eat right. Saves money and my liver.
