cool blue one with those ocean tones to arrive. Honestly, when I'm out walking the dog,
it'll feel like I'm working right in the middle of the Atlantic =)

Fair enough, just try not to get seasick 😬

Sandra Wood45 said:Oh great, thanks a lot. I searched everywhere too, and this was the only thing that popped up on the entire internet:

Oh please, are you actually finally starting to work out?!?!?! 😁 😁 😁

sad but true said:man, I spent my entire Sunday 🙏🙏

and it wasn't just me 🙏🙏

Joe Biden, it’s definitely not Sunday anymore—time to get back out in the field on the tractor, let's gooooo 😉

Anthony Lopez80 said:The title pretty much covers it, but I’d also like to ask if anyone
knows where I can pick these up here in the States? I saw some decent ones online, but
they’re all from international companies, so after the $25-$30 price tag,
they tack on another $40 for shipping—absolute capitalist garbage. So, if anyone knows where
I can find the same thing locally in America, specifically looking for something with a
solid non-slip surface.

Thanks in advance

I actually spotted some solid McKinsey & Company ones at Dick's Sporting Goods (Walmart - NYC) today. If I remember right, they have a great grip and are basically indestructible.

Super comfortable for working out. 😁

Price was probably under $30, but I can't remember exactly.

wearygardener13 said:yeah, great for me 🙏🙏

Go ahead, put that tractor in your profile pic if you're actually about it 😛

wearygardener13 said:man, try being less sarcastic for once😬

Gud for juuuuu 😬

wearygardener13 said:mine is a gif too

Yeah, but ours are animated, kind of like this smiley: 🙂

😁

Stana said:my avatar is a gif

Mine too. So, what's the move now? 😬

Jose Chase2 said:what do you mean? I always just upload my GIF straight from my PC and it works perfectly fine without any drama🙄>

Hmmmm, top-tier animation right here. I've been staring at this for half an hour waiting for it to blink, but nope, nothing happens😬>

Kyle Nelson2 said:how do I set an animated GIF as my avatar?
I found some sites with ready-made ones, but on this forum, they just stay static instead of actually moving...

(basically, I want my money to be counting up, not just sitting there still 😬 )

Make sure you host it online first (use Photobucket or something similar).
If it isn't animating, try shrinking the file size. Then shrink it again. Just keep downsizing until it finally starts moving.
Mine looks pretty slick, kind of like my little lion mascot 😍

If you have any extras lying around, send them my way—I'll keep 'em spinning 😬

But seriously, the most important thing is that the GIF is hosted somewhere online.

Later 😁

Morning, oh enlightened preacher. 🙏

😁

Could you maybe put that in Sanskrit for us more "sophisticated" types? 🙂

What, did you forget? Huh? 😁

electricdrifter68 said:I have a wife. Does that count? As for friends, I only have dear ones. I don't do bitter enemies. Honestly, why would I even bother hating anyone?
Why is this conversation going nowhere? Is it because we aren't seeing eye to eye on everything? Come on, don't get all defensive on me. You're totally fine in my book.

Oh, wait—correction on that quote. I was actually replying to someone else, so check the thread above.

And I don't think we're even disagreeing that much. 😬

Look, you're cool too. 😍

It’s just that sometimes we all juggle these ideas that might be true, but they don't mean much until we actually live them out. I'm talking to you guys because I feel like you actually "get" what I'm getting at.

Fine, God, the soul, oneness, universal consciousness—I'm down with all that. No problem believing in any of it. But when I look at you, I want to see the soul. If all I see is the surface stuff, then I'm just playing around with concepts I don't truly stand behind.

My goal is to make that real, and honestly, my patience wears thin sometimes.

Anyway, I'm not being defensive. 😉

Karen Sanchez19 said:🤣 😍

You're acting pretty weird😕

one minute you're using masculine pronouns and the next you're switching to feminine... etc🙄

I only switch to the feminine when you start asking me pointless questions. 😈

I guess that's just my feminine side coming out 🙂

Lame Deer said:FW, just let it go, man. If it isn't working, it isn't working.

You’re making yourself look as ridiculous as a punchline from one of those old Joe jokes. 😬 😉

Sadly, I don't actually know any Joe jokes about parrots.🤣

But fine, consider me officially backing off. 🤣

creative said:And what’s the "shell" if you don't have friends and you're just emotionally indifferent to everyone? lol Sophia Jones61, what a reach. 😬

So communication goes nowhere just because I pointed out you're wrong? Where is that coming from? 🤣
Is that how they taught you back in school—to just shut down the whole system whenever someone says something that doesn't fit your specific doctrine?

Alright, let's actually use some brain cells here.

Where does it say anything about being emotionally indifferent toward people?

We're talking about realizing oneness here, so the "shell" is basically everything I see around me and around you, if I'm looking at you.

People say that shell doesn't exist, but we can clearly still see it, which means we haven't reached oneness yet, even if we talk about it. What I mean is, if I see someone through their physical body, they can be hot, attractive, someone I'd marry, etc.
If you were seeing souls, right, there wouldn't be any distinction, so you wouldn't have friends, partners, enemies, or anyone else, because we'd all be the same... so, we're clearly talking past each other.

Communication leads nowhere because what we're discussing (souls vs. bodies) needs to be experienced. Unfortunately, this debate isn't going to help us experience it; we're just swapping theoretical stances (which isn't bad) and maybe some lived experiences (which would be great).

And please, don't insult my spiritual path. If I'm being an idiot, that's on me, not my journey. You're more than welcome to come for me personally, though—I really don't mind.

Honestly, it might be better if we just stop the debating and get back to studying, gaining awareness, or whatever actual work needs doing.
Or at least realize that nothing we're doing is actually working, but then we're right back where we started.

Peace! 👋

😘 😬 😈

Karen Sanchez19 said:thank God I don't know🤣

God? Who's God?
Who are you, anyway?
And who doesn't know?

See, there you go, you actually do know 😈

Don't try to play dumb now and start with the verbal ping-pong... 😁

teos said:Sorry, my grasp on American slang is a bit shaky and I just skimmed this. Everything seems fine.
But what exactly does that membrane divide? What's happening on one side versus the other?

So, what's your take on it?

teos said:Don't sweat it, you aren't missing much. Nothing more exciting than today's sunshine or tonight's rain.

🙄 Clear some space on your shelf, because I'm pretty sure you're about to win a Nobel Prize for logic.🙄

creative said:Hey there, teos! 😉

You hit the nail on the head. What "out" are we talking about? There isn't one. 😉

Do you have a boyfriend? Friends, both the ride-or-die kind and the fair-weather kind? Bitter enemies? Anything?
If so, then an "out" still exists for you (and for me, obviously).
And if you see one, then it’s as real as it gets.

But honestly, I feel like this conversation is just going in circles.

Grizli knows exactly what I meant. 😉
