He and I must shake hands. I didn’t realize asthma, emphysema and COPD were variants of the same disease. I’ve learned a lot in the three years being medicated for COPD. I’m always here for talking.

then they would yes/no and either work on getting that concept over, or proceed to the next. Often they'd have to backtrack to re-cover something they thought they'd got.
It took time, but they were each very careful and patient with each other. I've tried to learn from that memory, ever since.

I learned to work at it and understand that us English speakers don't always communicate so well, by watching them try to figure out a user interface problem. Each sentence was spoken, then the other would answer it with a "do you mean?" and

Both were extensively taught English as a second language growing up. Both were less than accomplished in communicating in English. But they worked at it.

This happens. I call it the "short-cut" effect. We always assume that what we know and what is to the forefront of our minds, is what can be understood.
But years ago I saw a man from Tamil Nadu (that's a state in India) and a man from Taiwan talking and problem solving.

I just had a HUGE miscommunication in a discussion. It took three tries before I finally managed to communicate my thought to my friend.

I have friends. I follow many artists in many mediums. Most have posted in the last 3 months that they are battling depression and I wish there was something I could do.
Money. Money and freedom from the fear of bankruptcy, homelessness and loss would help.
I don't have enough money.

Latest make. An imago for a friend during a stressful time. She asked for something that can give her what I call "sosiego."
(It translates as "calm/peace" But that's not how we used that word. It meant a level headed person who could face the world and keep their balance.)

FlyingFoxDemon, one of the few users of AI generative videos I actually can stand to watch in the last month, has new one out on YouTube. Canadian Defense Force… and in the very very last frames, the geese, some are wearing a red resistance cap! W00t!

PEOPLE! I'm glad there are many kinds of people and you are a beautiful kind of people. I share your dances and you do aleviate some of the horror I feel at the world I live in. Take the hearts exrtended to you, and ignore the haters who are so empty.

So, when I made my second LaceWingedDragon, nobody online asked for it. I decided to take it into the doctor's and see if anybody there fell in love with it... instead, the Dragon suddenly said, "Blue Bard and I are Best Friends Forever, don't you dare split us up."

If I had to use the language of skeptical psychologists, I'd say that that pattern, which I have frequently observed is a method of us allowing our artistic side to talk to our logistic side.
