    Today is the two year anniversary of my wife's passing, funny how the first year passed almost without me noticing the date, but this year it has really messed me up. I miss her so badly, the world is a much worse place without her.

      You had so much to adjust to that first year after she passed. You've dealt well with all the obstacles for two years and now you have time to focus on the date, and it hurts. She'd be proud of you, so keep that in mind as well when you're missing her, Moon. Do something good for yourself, that's what she'd want.

      Congratulations! I'm just now seeing this, so the atomic clocks are already messed up without you there. What an amazing career! Enjoy some well-earned downtime.

    This is me, updating my Status from completely inexperienced at updating my status to moderately inexperienced at updating my status. I started this on my Profile page from a box underneath my Achievements.

    I found a house in my price range near where the Maco Light used to be. They took up the railroad tracks and replaced them with houses. I wonder what happened to the Maco Light, where did it go? 

    1. Phi for All

      Phi for All

      Probably removed the sign/reflector the light was bouncing off of when they removed the tracks and road. I don't know where ALL the ghost lights go, but the bad ones go to prism.

    I'm getting better but the pain is still mentally crippling.

      It's so hard to focus when you're in pain. My heart goes out to you, my friend, and I hope the pain fades as you continue to get better.

    I got a major award today (plaque, not a sexy leg-lamp) for my "staunch defense of USNO's interests" in a project I'm working on

    My wife, Nancy, passed away the morning of the 16th in her sleep. I am lost, I don't know what to do, I keep thinking I'll ask Nancy what to do then it hits me again.

    1. Phi for All

      Phi for All

      Ah Moon, what a heartbreak! She was one in a million, and she deserved a man like you to share her life. Thank you for being that strong person for Nancy and lighting up her world with joy.

    when I was born I knew nothing. More than half a century later. I must confess that I now........ know even less.

    Everyone should be God-Centered versus being self-centered.

    Anyone's god can be anything including themselves, scientists, politicians, spirituals, priests, satan, jinns, magicians, false prophets, folks of people, etc...

    The wise person seeks for the Greater Than the greater and greater and The Most Powerful God to make Him The Centerd!

    And afraid of Him!

    And be pleasured based on His Pleasures and be displeasure based on His Displeasure!

    Even if they are against his own positions[race/nation/country/parents/previous minds]

    Because knows that there won't be any way toabsconded from He!

      I'm really glad NOT to be focused on gods. Fear keeps me from learning, religion perverts what can be learned, and I don't have to pretend my beliefs are better than yours.

      Engineering, or Other Sciences if you think that's broader. Depends on where you want the conversation to lead. I look forward, Moon, it sounds ambitious.

    Hi guys, I am in sunny California where oranges grow on trees in people's yards and evidently it never really rains! I flew out here to see my son and grandchild and help them get their house upacked and set up. 

    My dad died days before I arrived andIfound out I had inherited al of his properties... Sort of... But he didn't leave a will so everything is in "probate" and all his properties will be sold to settle his debts and I have to make sure this gets done. 

    I named my son executor of his estate, my son volunteered btw. 

    I feel like I went on vacation only to find the sword of damacles floating over my head. 

    Fun fun in sunny CA!

    Hey Science people. Caught myself lurking here more and more and I realized how much I enjoy rational people with critical thinking skills, so i decided to log in to say thanks. Shout-out to any of the old regular posters lurking out there.

    1. Phi for All

      Phi for All

      You're welcome and thank YOU. I completely agree about reading reasoned thoughts on a social media platform. I can't stand the inanities that flow from people I know personally on places like FB and Twitter. I find critical thinking uplifting, whereas willful ignorance is just depressing. Glad you're here!

    Even though I have not met any of you guys in RL I dreamt yesterday that I was hanging out with a few members from the forum. Really strange dream. You guys looked like rockers but dressed business casual and the setting was an office space. I don't know why I'm sharing this haha

      Wait, like Eddie Van Halen, or like Meat Loaf? Funny, but a week ago I had a dream my assistant told me I had a meeting with a polar bear, so I cancelled.

      They're still calling for high winds, and it looks like it's going to sit on you for a few days and pile up the rain. It's big and ornery, y'all take care. Got a candle lit for you.
