Muza, it has helped me for 14 years now. I'm a poor judge of people because I usually give the benefit of the doubt. Naivity always sets in and it has actually harmed me more than once. Analyzing a handwriting specimen, though, gives me the picture of the true person.
I used to repair radios and TVs back in mid-80s.

You're not alone, Margaret. I do like gardening, I just don't have the stuff to make a garden. 
About me: I made some recycled crafts for the past 4 days.

Hi Intet,
The beauty of this curriculum is that it represents the Classical Liberal Arts. You have to read all the books and then write a 100 page Capstone Paper(Thesis) where you incorporate all the main ideas into one major theme from all the books you have read. If you follow through, no politician will ever want to debate you since they will not be able to pull the wool over your eyes. You'll be too smart for them to handle.
Cheers,

Corno! No Spinoza or Schopenhauer? Even a very short list of philosophy requires them, imo. Husserl, but no Heidegger or Sartre? ...and what about the rest of the 20th century? Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Quine -- these are musts! Not to mention Philosophy of Science! Popper, Feyerabend... I would add Pinker/Dawkins/Dennett to the list, as well; or at the very least Consciousness Explained.

Hello Sister Muza,
I got this list from a friend at Yale University - he called it the Great Books Curriculum - If you read these and mentally systematise them you'll be able to better analyse current events and fully take part in society as a concerned and informed citizen.
Respectfully and Humbly yours,

Hi JLS,
I never went to Yale nor do I know what is discussed in their curriculum committees. You have good points in your riposte to me. For existentialism, Kirkegaard does the job quite well.
Cheers,

One Random Fact About You - I am in love with a wonderful mature artist and most sensual woman for the first time in 9 years having lived completely in celibacy.

I am not sure whether I like spiders or not. Or whether they like me or not...
Okay, I like Bordeaux.

Well Andrew, there is a safe way for you to realise if the spiders like you, or you them. You simple buy a huge box. Then you fill it up with spiders like the Black Widows and the Bird Spiders, you could even drop a few scorpions in the box, only to make the scenario more interesting. Then you step naked into the box, and have your wife seal the box for the night (remember there has to be small holes in the sides of the box for oxygin).
After a cousy night, never feeling alone in the box among 19.578 spiders and scorpions, you´ll know. :grin::grin::grin::grin:

Oh man, are you guys here on MIMF cruel to me! 19.578 spiders!!!! Like in Indiana Jones or what?
Well, you may want to look at the same situation with the eyes of a spider - say a single one spider in a room crowded with 19.578 people . I guess the spider would think - man , are these creatures having only two legs that ugly!!
No - Bordeaux is definetely the right way...And then another one ( Bordeaux )... Though I would not like it to be thrown in a tank full of it, I guess - it would be too much...
