Still coming to terms with this mix of emotions regarding both Being and CS, two unforgettable characters that I had the pleasure and fortune of journeying with together in their immensely rich, colourful and telling stories. It has helped to check in here and be reminded of some great stuff they brought us and I look forward to Sunday for the meeting at the RMBG GATE C(S). On several occasions CS enthusiastically discussed what he wanted to leave us as his legacy, I guess when we get together we can discuss the prospect of compiling his next work "Chemical Shaman - Shenanigans from the Beyond" (or something). (Wow, I'm really out of practice with writing and way to sober for this so I think I'll just leave it at this for the moment... So Hi and Bye. May love & peace be ever-present

Hi, I've really been getting into Snu's "The Garden of Eden" book (well done Snu!) and have come across several interesting things, though I'm only up to Festuca. Anyway, I read that Daturicarpa elliptica apparently contains 5.6% alkaloids! (most ibogaine). So does anyone have a lead for this species, if not does anyone want to fund a trip to Africa(?). Adrian

Just like to say HELLO to T and everyone! To all those at EGA I apologise, I've been isolated and not in a very good head space for quite a while, so if I seemed rude, distant etc I apologise. That being said I really enjoyed seeing all you great folk again and hope you all had a great time. If anyone wants more Aniracetam, other nootropics, plants etc I'll put a list up in the appropriate space and until I get around to completing the rebuilding of EARTHPOD.org if there are any request at all, send me an email at [email protected] All the best for the pre-festive season. Be safe & Enjoy, Adrian P.S Is there a discussion around here for Snu's book "the Garden of Eden"?

must confess to a knife throwing habit/ addiction/ compuilsion esp. when intoxicated. The kitchen walls have nice softwood boards with many evident pits in them :-(

Hi, can't seem to message you. Would love a plant or few. Can you email me please if they're still available: [email protected] Cheers, Adrian

For me also. {Quick hello to all, welcome back E.} Kicking ourselves for not taking the opportunity to check if there was any seed drop. They'll be okay. Adrian

Whilst in the process of addressing outstanding orders, I popped onto the forums to check up on a few things. I thought I'd make contact while I can. If I haven’t yet conveyed the following points or if I forgot something. Here’s an updated version; - I have not intentionally/ consciously been avoiding anyone or my responsibility to resolve any unfinished business - the issues behind my absence are the same as those that led to this mess and also the painfully slow resolution. - at least a few of the unfortunate folk involved have since seen the sad but welcome light at the end of a dark long tunnel - I have been contactable, however I have not necessarily been contacted. There are many reasons that I don’t feel are need here or yet. As far as I know, EARTHPOD hasn’t existed online for a long time now and I assume all mail is bounced back.(although a couple of people recently told me that there is still a website up) - I don’t feel I deserve sympathy and although sincere when I apologize, I don’t ask nor expect forgiveness. - likewise I (sometimes) feel resentment for the support, patients, understanding, empathy etc which has been expressed to me, this is because I appreciate your considerations and I love and respect you guys that I feel a deep sense of pity and shame for letting you (…us) all down. Although sometimes I find it encouraging and it helps me find/ enact my strengths. - I will no longer give estimations as to when I expect that this will be resolved. I’m tempted to add ‘or weather this will be resolved’ just incase anyone else had doubts I hope to have better news and a brighter attitude next time i'm around. Hope your all well.

In regards to comets and safe distances. If your going on the new 'Solaris H,He V-Highway' at 100kmph thats ~18.4yrs on the road (no rest stops out there ;) However, I reccon with a name like Schwassmann-Wachmann und der Konvoi (convoy) containing of dozens of fragments. I'm guessing they'd take "die Komet-bahn" and cruise at about 58,000kmph, possibly taking small breaks (i.e breaks apart ;) So the distance might seems big but it's all relative. Ten million miles is only about 11.57days travel time or just over a week as it appears that it was 10M kms not miles. {11.57 x 24 hrs x 58,000kmph = 16,105,440 Kms or ~10million Miles} i.e. 500m is a relatively safe distance to stand if someone is pointing a spear at you, however if they're pointing a "Heckler & Koch PSG1" there's about 20 good 'points' to re-evaluate the safe distance All in all, there's no cause for alarm. We might even get a good meteror shower out of it.

Earthquakes occur almost every other second, somewhere. They should be much less of a problem for people, if only we could pre-rebuild all those buildings that we sold the concrete idea to. We just had one in central Australia that was a similar strength. Some of the preditcions, go into detail about earthquakes and volcanes that would be triggered by the nearing of this comet.

Yeah, the two post were caused by the gravitational effect from separate chunks of the comet and yes I'm aware that the actual comet is just over a "planet's throw" from earth ~30 times the distance of the moon. But the prophets reckon that there smaller chunks that won't be know until they mysteriously pop out of nowhere. Like me I've never given too much thought to Nostradamus's predictions ever since I performed a meditation (astral projection attempt) and for some stupid reason I uttered his name three times and found my self in a sort of trance unable to move or speak, then something really freaky happened; a loud voice started talking to me from out side my bedroom window in a language I couldn't understand (Latin perhaps) although quite clear, it had a strange mechanized sort of distortion to it (oooh chills!) After what seemed like an hour the voice ceased and I finally regained control of my physical body, I was very shocked by this. I would have assumed that he could have brought a translator with him

Ooops. Forgot how important a good speelcheck is and clear head when posting. (suppose if I wasn't in a manic state I'd be lying on the couch too unmotivated to rant ceaslessly about things that are no doubt going to pan out just fine by themselves) Sure Rev, just kick back relax, we'll muster all the energy from our sense of guilt and shame to fix the world. Just give us a yell when you arrive in heaven so we know which room to send the bill to. I agree, disaster are good occasionally though just to keep things interesting.

I really regret this and hope you'll accept my apology and bare with me. I'm not sure how long it'll take to fix your orders. But I'll make it up to you guys eventually. Refunds aren't really an option at the moment, I'm unemployed not on the dole (yet), nor doing business. Come to EGA. I figure if I attend then we might just get enough people coming just to throw wet sponges (or cacti) at me to make up the numbers. Or I might get a chance to supply the products or refund your order I've lost. "There's no justice like angry mob justice"

Sorry Rev that's BS. 10 things to do Because you realise that you alive (not subject to disaster scenarios) 1.Do sweet FA 2.Nothing much 3.sweat but don't worry 4.Worry but don't stress 4.a) Do the same thing you did yesterday 4.B)4.5 Do the same thing you did yesterday, just slightly differntly 5.F#ck like 1999 (or 1969,, depending on age ;) 6.Squander your last amount of money on something really useless and fleeting, but enjoy it none the less. 7.Tell people something youv'e thought was worth saying, but never had the balls to say. 8.Walk around your house naked singing childish, seasame street songs 9.Anything that is unique to you, but not regrettable 10.Do something meaningfull/ benificial, because you still can and something that will help make your (and close one's) future your ideal present INVEST IN YOU PRESENT/ FUTURE-PRESENT NOW!!!!!!!!!! Platinous metals, Seeds, Wine, Children etc These will always be special and always help you get food and only get better with age ;) Money is not tangeble, even in a stable economy it causes headaches, yet it must be exchanged for analegesics that are endogenous to our own heads (that we bust trying to obtain it) I'm expecting to have a relaxed day at home tomorrow, but I'm going to spend it working hard on something I enjoy doing. Not hardly working in order to spend on something I can't afford money. To feed a child here (for some) means virtually adopting it (childminding) so that the fuel for the car to get to work to make the money to pay for the transport (and childminding cost) of the food we want to feed the children that we have to make appointments to see (and that need to make appointments to understand parents the barely know). It's all oportunity, all the along the path of life. Is it better to struggle forwards than to be running backwards or just sit and work out if we should even be on 'that' path. (deep breath...whoooh) Sorry about the rant. Adrian
