Hello

[Maria-Juana]

Happy to be here.

I'm Maria-Juana. I'm "new" here. 

I guess I should start with the forum's first question:
"Is god imaginary?"
—I don't know.
Maybe. 

If there is such a thing, my imaginary god, bless his holy recreationally medicated brain, did help me one time...

I  used to drink wine and smoke weed.
Suddenly, one day, out of the blue, I just decided to turn that s**t around.
Now I smoke weed and drink wine.



I look forward to listening/reading/learning from all of you here more than anything else.

And, thank you for allowing me to be here.

Thank you for the "like" and for welcoming me to the forum, Mr. B. Perhaps when I've gotten to know everyone here a little bit better, I will interact more. I believe what is said, how it's said, and especially who it comes from are very important things to consider.

The more we get to know each other, the easier it will be to understand and or tolerate
—sometimes—
where we're coming from, why we think the way we do, and why we say the things we say.

--Small steps.

I will probably start posting in the music section. I like rap, country music, and everything in between.

Welcome to the site. :)

Hi, Emma286, I'm glad I made you laugh. I enjoy doing that.

..." I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
...and only Jesus loved my kind."

yes

you are absolutely welcome here

Thank you.
You invited me here.

You haven't recognized me yet, have you?

[kevin]

second post

are you drowning in LA?

[Maria-Juana]

second post

are you drowning in LA?

Not anymore.

[Maria-Juana]

...Drowning doesn't bother me as much as the senseless shootings. I live 4 minutes away from where the latest shooting took place. The one that was stopped by a "good guy with no gun."

But still, I love LA.

It's good to 'see' you again and it's nice to know you recognize and remember me. Thank you for inviting me here.

I won't bother you right now, you seem to be busy with :the cosmological argument is nonsense. --Thread.

[kevin]

lol

thats mental exercise. nobody has agreed on that one for something like 600 years. im talking about it to get it clear in my head and listen to other peoples opinions.

the mass-shooting issues are again crossing my paths too. i used to pollinate pumpkins in half moon bay, and scouted for bee yards down in the monterey area, both sites of the recent shootings in northern california. way too many mass shootings seem to occur in places i once lived or worked in. but not four minutes away. that is unfortunate.

Awww, look at that!
There's that smile, again.

My goodness, Kevin!
You've been trying to find common ground for 600 years!? Let it go, man.

Yes, this one was way too close to me.
It is unfortunate.

Well, being here is gonna take some getting used to. The last place was the only forum I've been to in the last 12 years.
True, isn't it:

Hi. Thank you, Kiahanie.
It's a pleasure to meet you.

[kevin]

folks, i know maria-juana from elsewhere and elsewhen.

she is good people.

if somebody is mean to her, i will become rude.

but we have settled down here to a group of good-natured survivors, and the need or inclination will not arise.

Kevin, my friend.
That is very sweet of you!
I trusted you when you said I should join this group. You were not wrong, everyone here so far seems like good people.


And...If somebody is mean to Kevin, well, you don't want to know what a Salvadoreña is like when she's angry.

Not only is she real, she was so excited to join that she helped me troubleshoot a problem with the registration page so she could register.

Hopefully not too many others were deterred from joining due to the glitch.

Mooby, hi again.

Thank you for opening the door for me. I was like this for two months!
