snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 19:14:47 pm CST

snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 19:19:27 pm CST
maybe it's the blue moon....it's tonight
natira{GS} 19:20:45 pm CST
ahhh girl most understands that Mistress Lita, as 2 years ago today she was holed up with a contraption on her leg that kept her from walking on it after surgery ~smiles softly~ wasn't allowed to walk for 4 months after that then therapy.. 'twas no fun at all she hopes Your leg heals much faster
nasreen{TH}t 19:20:47 pm CST

Lady Lita 19:21:18 pm CST
That could be it snowrose. Though I could wish I ONLY had computer problems once in a blue moon! *LOL*
Lady Lita 19:22:29 pm CST
I hope so too, natira. They say 6-8 weeks at this point, but of course they can change their minds on that any time.
natira{GS} 19:24:37 pm CST
was it only one break Mistress? if so it shouldn't be more than 8 weeks tops. girl broke her leg in three different places.. was riding a lovely horse and had a fight with gravity...definitely lost big time

Lady Lita 19:43:25 pm CST
Connection problems again. *sigh*
Tal, Sandmanm, Dak, ShadowHawk.
And natira, I managed to break both bones in the lower leg. I don't do things by half.
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 19:48:34 pm CST
we have a topic,,
Give your thoughts on the meaning of the following:
"Do not ask a Gorean what the Home Stone means because he will not understand your question.
It will puzzle him. It is the Home Stone."
"But I think, often, that it is a mistake to try to translate the Home Stone into meanings. It is not a word, or a sentence.
It does not really translate. It is, more like a tree, or the world. It exists, which goes beyond, which surpasses, meaning.
In this primitive sense the Home Stone is simply that, and irreducibly, the Home Stone.
It is too important, too precious to mean. And in not meaning, it becomes, of course, the most meaningful of all."
Magicians of Gor, p.485
Dak 19:50:15 pm CST
to a Gorean, it is everything
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 19:51:38 pm CST
Is it supposed to mean something to a slave too. because it does...this one has never been anywhere else and Gs means the world to her...
ShadowHawk 19:55:06 pm CST
hmmmm... how to explain.. I came from the sister world called Earth.. there the place I come from has a flag, piece of cloth if you would, that represents much like the homestone here.. for Me having been a warrior there as well, it is more than "stone" or "piece of cloth" but that of which has been sacrificed to make such.. the forefathers and warriors that came before who made what is to be and carried on in Honor.. today I see this much the same here as there.. it cannot be explained with mere words, but by Mans actions.. and actions is where Honor comes..
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 19:57:26 pm CST
nodding well said,, its as much more an idea than a physical thing
dena{GS} 19:57:41 pm CST
dena thinks that when People try to "force" meaning into objects, the meaning itself can be misconstrued. not only that, but We All share this Home Stone, and should We All try to push Our meaning of what a Home Stone is there would be different views. to not see it as anything other than what it is, a stone, then in Your heart it can be whatever brings meaning to You.
sorry, that may have only made sense in this girls head... *smiles*
ShadowHawk 19:58:32 pm CST
whether primitive or modern, it all still starts with One who takes a stand and stance.. then has Others following who share same ideals and Honor.. for Me, it comes from within Me that which makes Me.. and the thousands before Me that stood the same
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 19:58:32 pm CST
~listens raptly, seeing how the flag does serve the same purpose as the stone~
dena{GS} 20:00:59 pm CST
very good thought Master ShadowHawk *nodding*
Dak 20:02:15 pm CST
I wish all of this country felt that way of our flag !!
ShadowHawk 20:02:17 pm CST
My thanks.. *nodding*.. even tho I do not have a homestone.. I still feel very strongly about anybody's homestone having meaning and need being revered and respected... even that of the lowly peasant..
ShadowHawk 20:03:11 pm CST
((I Myself still grow teary eyed when I hear the Star Spangled Banner, having seen first hand lives it has cost and willingly))
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 20:06:40 pm CST

nasreen{TH}t 20:07:12 pm CST
*so does this girl Master ShadowHawk*
snowrose{JTr}'s pleasure 20:08:29 pm CST
no Master, but she heartily agrees with what has been said
OriginalSandman_Builder/Captain of GS 20:09:26 pm CST

natira{GS} 20:09:55 pm CST

Lady Lita2 20:25:27 pm CST
I am this day particularly thankful for My nephew and his girlfriend, who have come to stay with Me while my leg heals. They are not only doing all the things I cannot do, but acting as coaches, and encouraging Me to stay active and do all that I can, and keeping Me from doing things I shouldn't, and dispensing lectures and pep talks as needed,.
nasreen{TH}t 20:26:24 pm CST
