The one real negative (or some might see it as a positive) is that there is no way that I can think of to make comments on the verbalizations. So why not have a comments thread.
279-12 "A New Thought" ~ I'm thinking they took old magazines away to keep contaminated fingers coated with nasty things like Covid 19 (or one of its 100 variants) from rubbing off on the next reader. This is sad an it was so much fun to read about things that didn't quite make it in the following years.

Interesting you removed all of your answers. Have you been diagnosed with some terminal illness?

No, just trying to cleanup OFF TOPIC stuff like refrigerators, although old ones do make good tables.
If we call the podcast a wrap, here are the top four final download numbers. The rest were spread over a vast number of sources
Final Downloads - May 02 2020 through May 12 2022

In a sense, the podcast was more of a content generator and having someone witnessing a few things in my life, and I endlessly thank you. I did try to be inspiring and I sincerely hope you guys got something out of it you can use!

Sad to see it go, I enjoyed the commentary.
I removed the questions as they are useless without answers.
Still very curious as to why you gave up on the podcast.

yes, me too! I don't know why I started it, and now I don't know why it ended. long time ago i played a lady doing a TED talk where she described a poet who could feel a poem approaching her out in the fields. it then rushed through her and if she didnt grab it as it went by and pull it back, it would simply go on and disappear. this whole experience was like that. its good that it did, we have so much to do to get Nathan moved to Iowa and graduated in the next few months. and i did quit all the time because i was exhausted from talking all the time, but i always went back as you know. until it just left. part of it too was the Chloee thing at the end. the backlog grew to where it was constantly on my mind, wagging the dog almost. and then there was Uranias voice. that voice started talking TO ME i swear, i could hear it in my mind. so all these things just came together.
your daughter Katherine is a hero also, i want a book like hers. my dad's mother's name was katherine.
alot going on.

Good that your OK. I have very similar thoughts about this BB.
One can only do so much in a day.

Yeah I have a two year backlog of entries. You have a 15 year backlog of entries. We both have them backed up. There's no hurry. I thought thats what retirement was supposed to be lol

I didn't take one picture of the moon eclipse, I just watched it and enjoyed it with a potluck and a dozen fun people. That and a glass of planetarium ale made for a most relaxing evening. I did just have my sixth month checkup and the doctor is very happy with my bloodwork and other general condition. I guess I might be good for a while longer. |

Well were are going to be gone a little while, but its hard not to notice that 1) you arent loading any more and 2) nobody seems to care lol. Dont do anything crazy like delete it or anything you know? i say that now like Urania does, you know? I dont know anything about how big the files are and whether you'd consider breaking it up or sending some to other people, or trying to put it on the cloud, etc. Theres that archive guy at IPS. Owen might be interested in it. but DONT DELETE IT. have you got that?? lol send it HERE before you delete it. But i think you're right, theres a gig limit on these free boards and then they aint so free no mo. Will be gone a couple days, chow for now

Glad your blood work looks good! Ive got a lymph node biopsy next week that im trying not to think about, given possible outcomes. nothing like that runs in the family though so i'm optimistic
i saw the lunar eclipse reflected in the garden ball my wife has lol. we have a new blinding yard light, that was the inspiration for the black hole scene at the end of the podcast - also, if you've see the latest pictures of our own galaxy's black hole, it DOES look like its spitting out cheese balls
gotta go. never did get moon.

Will be gone a couple days, chow for now I think we do care but we can't put unnecessary pressure on Ron - he has done such a good job at rescuing anything. W e are patient people (otherwise we would not be trying to do planetarium stuff!)
I second Sir Gare's motion not to delete it - I will happily be a data haven if it comes to it (not that I will know where to start).
Sorry to hear about your impending medical appointment - really really hope it goes well.
