Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Would you prefer to have been born in a different era?

I often wish I'd lived in the late Georgian period. Obviously as part of the protestant ascendancy, not some native scratching myself in a mud cabin. Are you generally happy with the timing of your birth?

Does it ever worry you that we'll be dead here within 40,50,60 or whatever years?

We're so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't really matter what era we lived in.

It scares me, I'm looking at my hands now as I type and know in a centurys time that they'll be rotted to the core holding beads in a coffin.

I love my body, I don't want it to burned or put into the ground to slowly decay. I want to be preserved for all eternity like Lenin or Pope John XXIII.

:eek:
