I keep coming back to this idea, but I’m becoming increasingly convinced that nobody is truly free from some form of neurosis. It isn't necessarily something you need an official medical diagnosis to account for.
Amanda Robinson4 said:Just watched it for the first time and honestly... I'm speechless. Spielberg, where have you been all my life? 😍
And then there's Morgan Freeman, who everyone knows probably gave the best performance of a certain historical dictator ever. Plus, they even share a birthday 😁
The spontaneity, the colors, the themes, the camerawork, the footage, the vibe... everything. EVERYTHING! AAAAAA! 😬
I watched it this morning; I've actually lost count of how many times I've seen it now. I think I had that exact same reaction after my second viewing, and it's stayed with me every single time since.
Edward Thompson77 said:So, I suppose the question now is what comes next... is it worth continuing to struggle through this, or should I just walk away from it all? With the difficulties I'm having equalizing, there’s probably no realistic chance for me to dive deeper than 10 feet and keep up with the group without putting my buddy at risk. Has anyone else dealt with similar issues, and if so, how did you manage them? As it stands, even if I decide to go down, using Otovins and every exercise imaginable, I feel like I have maybe a 50/50 shot at equalizing at depth—which also means a 50/50 shot at rupturing my eardrums. 😢
Is it always this easy for you to give up? I probably won't be much help here, but since you've been waiting quite a while for a response, this is my two cents. I hope someone with more experience can weigh in soon.
When you start your descent, I think it's best to begin equalizing immediately, before you actually feel the urge, which might prevent problems. If you find it too difficult to equalize, I suppose you shouldn't force it and should just stop diving for the day. It seems better to miss one day than to give up on diving for life. 🙂
I’ve visited a few different agritourism farms out in the Midwest and Iowa.
Mat's Eco-Ethno Farm in Oprisavci. If you happen to be a fan of horses, I guess this is the spot to visit, as they are definitely the main attraction here. They even have a few ponies. While touring the farm, visitors can also get to know various local animals that are typical for this region.
Captain's House in Šarengrad. They offer rentals for fishing gear, bicycles, or boats—specifically those famous Danube cycles. This rural tourist household seems quite suitable for children too, since they can feed the farm animals or go horseback riding.
The Eco-Ethno Farm in Korođ. There is an interesting house on the property built from mud and finished in a traditional, old-fashioned style. Along with a collection of vintage items like furniture, tools, paintings, a piano, and old radios, the atmosphere is rounded out by two century-old mulberry trees, a stable, a bread oven, a smokehouse, and a hayloft in the yard, plus all sorts of farm animals...
I hope you've managed to find something by now. If not, a few years back, someone suggested Key West to me. I can't be of much help, though, since I didn't end up going there myself, but I do recall the accommodations being quite affordable. I'm sure you'll turn something up. 🙂
Only those who have something to live for truly live!
Cecile Saunders: "If a person expresses a desire to end their life, it means we have failed them completely and haven't done enough in our 'healing.' If you can ease a patient's pain and make them feel truly valued, then they won't be thinking about suicide."
It seems that people don't turn to suicide because of an excess of physical pain, but rather because of a lack of gentle human compassion.
Peter Carter6 said:I was thinking along those same lines. Though, I'm certainly not one of the lucky ones getting to go diving in Thailand... 🤣It’s Detroit.👍
Now you’re just an ordinary person, much like myself, I suppose. 🤣 🙂
Unfortunately, I didn't get around to watching it back in May when I was planning to, but I've been thinking about it quite a bit lately. Maybe it's time to give it another look. ☕
Peter Carter6 said:"Two groups of divers perish in the sea: the novices with their tanks, and the veterans on breath-hold."
👍 I remember an old, wise man I used to know saying this quite often. He was actually my first real introduction to diving—my very first instructor, I suppose.
Personally, I don't think the movie was quite as terrible as most of you seem to think, though I have to admit I was definitely expecting more from it.

Honestly, if this monologue doesn't move you, you might just be a robot
😍😍😍😍 I think I might watch it again tomorrow. It’s a bit sad that this thread is somewhat overlooked; I suppose more people haven't quite recognized the beauty of this film yet.
I remember when I first watched this movie a few years back; I honestly had to force myself to sit through it until the end, yet now I find myself returning to it constantly. Personally, I consider it one of the best films out there. And just like someone else mentioned here, I keep coming back to it—anyone who has seen it probably understands why.
I suppose I might have been a bit too quick to judge, but maybe there’s more to the story than meets the eye. It seems like things could go either way, I guess. kaže: I'm not entirely sure if this is the right subforum for this kind of question, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find a 5 kg tub of Nutella here in the city. Christmas and the holidays are approaching, and I'm thinking about giving it to someone special as a gift, I guess.
Thank you.
I guess I’d love for someone to just gift that to me, too! 🤣😉
shadoweagle13 said:So you're saying they'd just drive back with a ton of extra weight in the car and end up sitting on the floor? 😁 🙂
Not really, they weren't actually allowed to bring anything to me (when they visit my place); they either send it via FedEx or pack it up for me when they arrive and head back out to New York City.😂
shadoweagle13 said:It’s not exactly groundbreaking logic, but regardless, what’s actually in that food? I suppose anyone would avoid it if it wasn't quality. Even in the Midwest, things are often genetically modified; it isn't always as "fresh and local" as people claim.
I'm not really sure; I only make my way out to the Midwest when my family asks me to, or perhaps when I feel the need to visit them myself.😁
shadoweagle13 said:I actually have the chance to bring home fresh produce and eggs from the Midwest. I try to do it whenever I visit, though if too much time passes, I just end up buying everything in New York City. That idea about the farmers market seems like a great one. 🙂
Well, you see, 🙂 even if you had thought of that yourself 😂 🤣
