There's more to life than sitting on yer arse watching yer breath! This is a retirement hobby, this is mostly (FPV quads) a pursuit of young men, planes attract an older bunch. Many just look at the the plane flying around, but some like to fly it from the inside. You tend to get more exercise when you screw up and have to do the "walk of shame".

Here is what a racing quad can do with a talented young pilot, unlike the old RC plane world, there are a lot of professional FPV pilots.

Here is another thread of mine

Your post set off quite a series of events. It turbo-sparked a borderline manic search for answers, a deeper insight into the "human condition. I read for days ( and halfway through the nights). Afflicted with fibromyalgia ( off and on my whole life but it decided to stick around permanently last 7 years), it's not easy to remain securely "anchored". You have really helped me to relieve the worse part........suffering. I've had some moments! I've been in denial........not seeing clearly.........maybe didn't want to see. I should have, very familiar with Buddhist writings, the "experts" of overcoming suffering........these guys live in my "backyard" with the Dalai Lama. The 24-7 pain that I didn't think I ever could cope with has become slowly easier by staying engaged with passions/activities/hobbies that require focus. Know, newly equipped for " battle " (acceptance) ,I sincerely feel a lot better.....already, adapting by leaps and bounds. All due to your Rollitup post...amazing.......it scares me to think about not replying to that post. You've been , in the true sense of the word, a catalyst. Thanks so much for posting that. It's changed my life!

Here is a website I created for my local group, it has some information and links that you might find useful, I shut things down at the beginning of the pandemic and will probably start back up in the fall. Recommended reading is, Why Buddhism is true, or you can take the Buddhist psychology course by the author, see the links on the website. Also if you are interested, Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening, on the books page

If you are interested in secular Buddhism there are links to videos here too. Taking the free MBSR course is not a bad idea either, they emphasize connecting with the body and many of the practices train you for this. MBSR was kinda made for you and those with medical issues like chronic pain. Move your sitting practice off the cushion (or chair) and into your life by attending to the sensual experience of taking a shower, sweeping the floor or doing the dishes, make it the object and when you catch your mind wandering... Walking practice is another thing you can do, when you go for a walk attend to your feet hitting the ground, then your breath and feet, when you come to a light pole on your walk use it as a reminder. If you do this instead of thinking while you walk your post walk mood will be much better and the walk will have served two purposes, exercise and practice. Working out at the gym is another opportunity and so is waiting in lines or sitting in the car, never be bored or impatient, all are opportunities for practice.

L I just got online...don't see my semi-lengthy reply to you. That above is certainly not what I sent......don't know where it went to. In summary(very condensed) your post had huge impact on me. I deep rolled. In that subject matter for 3 days and most of the nights. I understand much more and feel better already. It changed my life. Your post was a real catalyst. Thanks so much for comments..............acceptance is a "tough pill to swallow" sometimes.......I been in denial for years.

Normally people resist pain and try to ignore it, run from the lion in physical and psychological terms. Take anxiety for instance, if we don't fight it and accept the fact we are anxious, it is a beginning, just be with the feeling, but that is difficult for the untrained. Start on the easy slope like learning to ski, don't go for the steep mountain side at first. Is there something easier to accept? Acceptance is not surrender, there is a difference, but again it takes training to go with the flow. In practice we accept whatever comes up non judgmentally, in doing so we are not habitually bringing the evaluation, suffering part of the brain online.

Hope it helps and feel free to PM me with questions or practice problems. I'm the resident skypilot on RIU ;)
Sometimes in the politics section I preach FIRE & BIMSTONE! :lol: Have fun and do battle with Trumpers and trolls. if they have no heart there's nothing in there to hurt, no heart no harm. Normal folk get gentler treatment, even if they are being stupid!:lol: Though sometimes I do troll, but only for a reason.

Hey Dr., thought I'D jump in here to catch you. You never said anything about number of beads. The whole length......half....a third, whatever. That is if still interested.......still haven't gone through much of your cave, looking forward to it.
No worries, 16 inch choker style . If she can make the middle black and white ball be a skull that would be like ToTAlly Bitchin.
Cheers!

I find I lose a lot of clarity I gained after the trip and it doesnt really treat the anxiety later on. Maybe depression for a bit. Its been years since I ate mushies tho, thinking about growing some since you can buy spore kits. I use to go hard with em. Trips have actually lost their charm to me and I actually just dropped a couple tabs a few nights ago and aside from the visuals. Im kind of dull to it, and made myself slightly more retarded over the years. Honestly I felt kinda weird on my last trip and probably wont take cid anymore either.

I have found that my anxiety and depression stimmed from what Ive dubbed a humans NPK. Some foods I had consumed for years it had turned out, at least from my experience, was causing me a lot of problems. I never had allergies or anything growing up kind of get allergies in spring now but thats normal.

I shit you not I cut out one specific food and most of my mental problems disappeared. I think I had developed OCD symptoms from the psychs in all honesty in the form of trigger words from intrusive thoughts. Thats gone. I use to sweat for no reason, anxiety. Not anymore. I thought I was allergic to my own sweat but it was actually the thing I was consuming that I was actually in a constant state of being allergic to it. I also try to drink PH water in the range of 7-8.0 as a humans natural PH is 7.4 or what it is constantly trying to get back to.

Now heres what I was allergic to, modern wheat. Not wheat, modern wheat, gluten specifically, google it. Basically in the 50's they started cross breeding different strains of wheat to make sturdier hardier plants that were more profitable. This is the wheat they put in everything.

It was hard at first as wheat is in everything. Fucking everything. Besides corn tortillas, its pretty much peoples main carb, and figuring that shit out was annoying and almonds are actually toxic, as are most nuts if consumed to try and hit ones carb mark for the day.

TL;DR Modern Wheat and the new proteins that have been made as a result of this cross breeding that humans have not evolved enzymes to break down caused me personally to be in a constant state of an allergic reaction, everywhere, even my brain. I honestly didnt believe how nasty this allergy could be and I thought I was healthy before. Honestly wouldnt have even had the thought if I hadnt quit drinking beer and reflected on why I acted so strange when drunk off of that. This could also just be one persons coincidence, but I have noticed nothing but good things for the most part from this.

Edit: Oh this is for cancer patients. Ya, I could see psychadelics being the answer there. My bad
