    Ignore? What does it mean?

    Thanks, what about a reply to someone else? Does that person not show up if they post to answer someone else but they are not the originator of the thread?

    Ignore? What does it mean?

    When someone puts you on the ignore list, what does it mean? Do the posts you author not show up to them?

    On Mindfulness

    .....how is this possible? A snip from my post to a 12 step group on blindness...I guess it applies to deafness as well? "When a mans mind is concentrated he is blind" Charles Ponzi provided me with a very important recovery concept. Ponzi, an Italian immigrant, was born in the late...

    Lube O rings on second stage plugs???

    One of my O rings on the LP port plug got ripped when screwing it in and out. Is it good to lude the O ring with Vaseline or anything very lightly or is it a no-no and just keep a bunch of O rings on hand and take them in and out dry? Thanks, Dan

    On Mindfulness

    Elephant...haha that's funny. Are you heavy or just heavy footed? If not mindful of our exertion we use in everyday life we can waste much energy that way. I read a book by a lady on simplicity and she said that many people are not mindful of how much energy they waste each day by using...

    On Mindfulness

    On Mindfulness........On page 108 of "50 Ways to Simplify Your Life" the author talks about living mindfully saying , "Mindfulness is a great simplifying tool, because it is an antidote to doing too much."

    Review: The Last Dive

    Yes, your complaints are valid if you want a book written from your perspective only. I find we need to allow breathing room with such creative projects as books and the like if we want something developed that appeals to the various personalties that make up the public. Although I do not...

    Another interesting thing is Chatterton in the book is the same Chatterton on the Undersea detectives show on the History channel. (unless there are 2 John C's with the same credentials). fookisan

    Review: The Last Dive

    part 2 continued There is much more to living a serene, happy and balanced life than mere money. Money is nothing more than stored energy. Money is neither good or bad - it is people that do good or bad things with money. People also do good or bad things to 'get' money. This is where the...

    Review: The Last Dive

    Yes, it takes all sorts. You are right in your general perceptions of these individuals, but I do not find them fascinating. I used to, I even was jealous of them and wanted to be one. But then I became peace based instead of ego based and saw them for what they are...just another out of balance...

    co2 inflator question on snorkel vest

    You are right with drag issues, except I got into trouble one time. I miscalculated while surfacing from a free dive and I took in a mouthful of water and was choking at the surface. Luckily there was something to grab onto so I could clear my lungs. Would have been happy for an auto inflator...

    Older Divers - Perceptions of the Youthful

    Glad thoughts are more positive in diving than on the aggressive skating board I am on. They hate old guys. Me being 51 is ancient to them fookisan
