I look forward to not only the pics, but the hilarity that the fun-loving folks in this community generate.

It sounded, to me, like the flaming was between one person with three feuding personalities, and spewed just to make a maelstrom in the community, it seemed so unbelievable.

Thank you! I purchased a set of my own to fly when I saw his Holiness the Dalai Lama last summer at an outdoor venue in Chicago. They are faded already, and I guess it's time to burn them and get some more. Sending blessings and prayers out to my neighbors, the city, the world via the wind is a lovely thing.

It's a wonderful concept--just seeing them makes me happy.

good to be happy

Prayer flags and Dalia Lama make me happy. I saw some cute dogs at the car wash today, and I pet a python at the pet store - that pretty much made me happy too. Happiness abound!

I got to see HH The Dalai Lama in Los Angeles a while back. What an amazing, inspirational man, he inspired the audience with such happiness and compassion. I always smile and giggle a bit when I think of his infectious laugh.

I swear to whatever is above I would not have participated in a post like that under normal circumstances - cold meds do horrible evil things to people. :(

It takes great will not to jump in. Fire travels fast. Plus, cold meds ARE evil. ;-D

It really seemed like there were only a few names going back and forth, that it sounded staged, and then when the rest of the community jumped in, either in defense or to say, "What the hell's going on?!?", I don't know, it seemed their responses were real, and the others were... I can't put my finger on it, but to only say they seemed premeditated, staged. Like it was a troll's work to pretend to be in a war of words, flaming us up.

I dunno; that's my take on it.
