The Enigma Thread

Sorry, I don't recognize that plot. Probably I didn't read that one--he's written a lot of books.

A ton of books literally. Lol

"Fairy Tale'

"Fairy Tale'

Is that the Stephen King book?

Yes. It was one of my favorites I think because you don't hear much about it and it surprised me how into the story I got. A little kid befriends his elderly neighbor/dog and finds a secret passage in his shed in his backyard that leads to another world (which the old man knew about and tried to keep a secret).

Yea I never heard about it. Sounds really cool though.

Stephen King did write one BDSM novel, "Gerald's Game," published in 1992.
It wasn't made into a film until 2017.

Wow not heard of that one either.

When I checked "Gerald's Game" out of the library, the librarian (a not very attractive woman of about 45) gave me a very sharp look of disapproval. Perhaps the handcuffs on the cover convinced her that I must be a pervert.

Yea people are very judgemental about BDSM.... why no one in my family knows anything about what I like. Lol

People judge everything. Especially the last decade with social media...it was created so everyone could judge and comment on everything everyone else is doing which is why I say the biggest problem with the world these days is that people should worry about themselves more. If everyone did that and tried to better themselves the world would be a better place.

Yes! That is very well said. Too many people spend all their time judging others.

Very true. An excellent point.

What is the cosmic purpose of the wretched rain that we've got now? 🌧️

Yea the weather here is nasty too. Seems sometimes there are evil forces at work. It's just changes in the key stream that cause the weather patterns though. They are noy totally random as they so follow complicated cycles of the Earth.

 

[milagros317]

Those cycles are very complicated indeed. Like a Fourier series, the different cycles must be added up.

Yea exactly. So many different influences that things appear random but in a way they are not. They are just real comolicated.

 

[Edge]

The weather patterns can often be very feast or famine...hardly any rain for months or months worth of rain in a week.

I suspect that many things that appear random are actually just more complicated than we now understand.

Yea exactly. I dont think we undestand the systems well enough to predict things accurately.

Very true. Weather is certainly one of those things.
