User profiles

EVERYONE

Would you mind filling in your user profiles? I thouroughly enjoy your posts, but I think it would help me if I knew a little more about you. Where are you from? Just the country works fine, if outside the US. What is your approximate age? Are you a student? A professor? I'm sure you've all made mention of some of these things in your posts, but I'd like to be able to 'click the button' and refresh my memory.

I know FreeT, Tormod, Unc and Gahd pretty well. I know sanctus is European, and geko is a Brit ( i think). Frogon is from Kansas and Tinny and Tim are Asian. But some of you others, I have nothing to go on. It would especially help if you live outside the US.

I am:

• American
• married
• interested in opinions that can be backed up with scientific research

[Uncle Martin]

I understand that many have a reason for a measure of anonymity, but would ask that a members country be disclosed in their profile. I have a reason for this, other than plain curiosity. I sometimes feel that some misunderstandings are caused by language barriers, and knowing this would avoid some unnecessary difficulties. I also think the current profile form is too limited, so if anyone cares, I have no reason for being secretive,......

I was born in Milwaukee WI in 1962. After a brief tour of duty in the USMC I "ended up " (not a choice) in Huntsville AL where I currently reside with my wife of 22 years. I have 2 children, a son 21, currently attending the cullinary institute in Birmingham. A daughter, 20, whom was recently married.

I hold no degrees. I am a simple blue collar working man, cabinetmaker, that happens to be interested in many other topics. My goal is to attain the clearest understanding of reality and the universe as is possible, for me.

It doesn't look very likely that my biography will ever grace the pages of any encyclopedia.

Thanks for the thought, geko, but it doesn't show up when I click on your user profile. Can you re-edit to make it visible to us all?

Also, THANK YOU so much, Unc. I learned more 'facts' about you in that single post than in the past three months reading your views. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE reading your views. But the facts help me put the views into context.

See, I'm learning from you guys!

You know, neither will mine. But I don't consider it a lesson in mediocrity. I look on my wall at drawings from my children and realize that sometimes what is written TO you is much more important than what will ever be written ABOUT you. And the "Momma, I LOVE you" that I'm looking at means I'm important to somebody. I don't think it gets any better than that, no matter how many pages your name occupies in Brittanica.

i to unc.M was very impressed by this last post of yours, i was starting to think you thought yourself a know it all, but now it appears very apparent to me that you're just like the rest of us, not rich, not famous.i mean,who cares about those things anyway, if you're happy then be happy. i wish i could make a cabinet, mine would look like something you might want to find another cabinet to hide it in real quick like.

i'll say this much about myself for clarification. my profile is not exactly correct simply because like FT said, it's not always safe putting up your personal info online. but i was born in 1974, florida. i've moved arounda bit and i still currently reside in the southern states of the U.S. i love music and art in general, i also enjoy deep conversations about different subjects, for me personally i really like philosophy,spirituality, and as far as science the particular field that draws my attention most is psychology. i am currently working on learning how psychology and spirituality work together to form people's particular beliefs as i believe they have something in common. right now i work a meager job and my education is everyday life and how much i let myself be open to learning.

wisdumn, would you consider making your profile public? I can't see it at all. Thanks for the insights though, it does help me to form a better picture of you.

Also, Unc said "I sometimes feel that some misunderstandings are caused by language barriers, and knowing this would avoid some unnecessary difficulties." I TOTALLY agree with this, and this is actually what I was getting at. You are just much more direct than I was, thanks for that!
