1. I saved my son's life last night. He was choking on asparagus and I gave him the Heimlich. It's the fourth emergency situation I've led in the past four years (others were at work)
2. This article is worth a read:
3. I have an idea for a new type of entertainment. It would be like a haunted house except the shocks are sudden glimpses of gorgeous, naked women. You walk through the house in the dark, scared and tittilated, and in the end you are rewarded with a fuck, but you can't control who you end up with. The frustration brings you back.
4. Sandra has just received a significant job offer in Houston, and has been admitted into a doctoral program here. So we are committed to Houston now until all of that is done. I am also planning on starting a doctoral program a year later.?
5. Through Little News Ears I know a 14-year-old who was in Kiev when the bombing started. I found out that they escaped to Germany
|
Congrats?on the save! Were you nervous or panicked at all? way to stay calm and control the adrenalin rush.
You should be very proud of yourself. Thats not easy to do.
Congrats?to Sandra too!

what technique did you use for Heimlich? was he sitting on couch?
thrust on back? pretty hard? How long until the asparagus popped out?

I just did the...standard Heimlich? Not sure. Pumping from the belly. I do think I patted him on the back, vaguely learning that I shouldn't do that and remembering it but being like, fuck it.
I think he was sitting on the back of the couch when it started.? Sky, his sister, actually noticed. I'm not sure we would have noticed without her noticing because he was quiet and just reaching out.
?I think I either pulled him down or I asked him to stand up. I pumped 2 times and told him to spit it out.? "SPIT IT OUT!' and he did.??
For sure it freaked him out.? Sandra hugged him.

i like that you shared a david brooks essay. ?i weirdly like david brooks a lot. generally speaking, insofar as i read opinion material i?like to read people who have a different perspective from me but who aren't afraid to needle their own assumptions. so brooks as a basically conservative guy who has spent a lot of time thinking about how many of his earlier assumptions have been proven wrong, i like to read writers like this.
when i was in therapy last year, my therapist recommended i read the highly sensitive person by elain aron.?
this book did a lot to help me understand why in some circumstances i feel like an extravert and in others i feel very much like an introvert. put simply, one of the implications of the personality type described in the book explains why i can maintain nothing like this 150 relationships that brooks cites. before i left the u.s.?i would say that i had four intimates: the people i lived with, including becca, and my friend andy (whom some of you have met). outside of those i of course have some other acquaintances (mainly friends of those friends whom i might occasionally socialize with, or figures from the past like danny and a few others), but it is difficult for me to consider having more than perhaps 20-30 relationships. now it's a little irrelevant. i have been in kathmandu now for almost two months and i've made some actually very good friends here. but i will be returning to india for a new months at the end of april and then i will again be mostly by myself. it has unsurprisingly been the most difficult and most rewarding part of what i am doing. ?in any case, all of this is a long way of saying that my feelings about relationships and the fact of our aloneness has been an important thing that i've been working through out here. did i tell you i got bitten by a dog?
another funny thing i noticed is this bit where brooks describes one's 150 friends as "the people you feel comfortably altruistic toward." i don't think this is what altruism is, like, if you reserve it for your friends, is it truly altruistic? for me, altruism is something i feel toward people with whom i have no connection or with whom i feel a strongly negative connection (one might use the term "enemies" but, lol). and this is an actual practice, practicing feeling compassion and altruism toward people for whom i have a negative association. every time i read an opinion piece and violently disagree with what is being written, i invariably end up praying for the author.
i know that your idea for a new form of entertainment is not a serious one but i am actually astounded at how tone-deaf to current sexual politics this idea is. it's actually kind of amazing and admirable, stg.?
apparently lots of nepalis in the u.s. head to texas. ?you can probably find halfway decent momos there

but the bit i forgot to mention is that i am leaving nepal for a few months, to do some pilgrimage in india as well as to visit my friend ebrahim in kerala, but then i will come back here, probably on a student?visa, and i am going to try to stay in nepal for a while. possibly even buy some land outside the kathmandu valley and grow some food and start a small community of some kind. if necessary i will even consider getting married as a means to stay?

Dave glad to hear you're doing okay in Nepal. What happened with the
dog. Is the land you'd be looking at pretty reasonable in India as far
as U.S. dollar cost? And
what would be the prospects for a marriage match?
Have been listening to a good number of parenting books and one of the
ones i found interesting was "The Highly Sensitive Child" by the same
author. On the trait checklist for adults, i had most of the traits,
some in high preponderance, and the ones i didn't have, Lara has in
high preponderance, so as you can imagine so far our recently
3-year-old has pretty much all of those traits (like 15-20% of the
population, but he has almost all of them to a high degree). But i
also found the evolution-based theories and the resulting various
personality (and phobia) traits illuminating, and also made more sense
as a tighter-developed framework than a lot of social science stuff.
You're of course right that Dan's fantasy entertainment idea really
in-your-face flies in the face of current mores, but on the other
hand, there has been a recent move toward de-criminalization of sex
work in places like Uk, Germany, Aus/NZ, so with the paid-for-consent
buy-in, maybe could fly in some locale......

and yeah just to agree, as i remarked to Lara just, i completely agree that that Sensitive Person research theories does a much better job of elucidating the extrovert/introvert dynamic, as far as putting those personality traits into a much more clear contextually based framework. And as i alluded, really explained my various pseudo-phobias (heights, bugs, danger in general). On Sat, Mar 26, 2022 at 10:33 PM Todd Rhoads via groups.io <todd@...> wrote:
