whatever doesn't kill you

[Guest]

I saw somewhere...whatever doesn't kill you, just doesn't kill you

You know I used to embrace this philosophy to a certain degree...

But, I just went to lay down on my hammock and fell on my back into a bunch of blackberry thorns and cut my arm after three ropes broke, and I stood up and looked at my arm, and said that too will heal, and be stronger.

That's pretty cool.

[RebA!]

That was my signature line here for a little bit here on the eplaya. We got pretty banged up this year. And that was the theme for our camp. My finger still doesnt work right after nailing it with a sledgehammer.

*crap! I just realized i broke my own rule of not posting anywhere but general discussion*

I shall go be punished now

[Captain Goddammit]

Yeah, but remember what I always say... No pain, no pain!

[alice]

as testes in sac would say:

that which doesn't kill you, makes you sicker than shit!

but what one of us was born healthy?

[Lydia Love]

Oh I think we're all born more or less healthy

It's growing up that fucks us up.

[Guest]

It's growing up that fucks us up.

Only if we let it. And if we hold onto the concept that growing up is something we have to do. We can always choose to reach back towards that child, whether they were riding a water slide, a bicycle, a dust storm on the playa, or a new way of thinking.

So with that new way of thinking, after I sought the comfort of the hammock and got a rock in the back and thorns in my side with bleeding cuts down my forearm, am I right in thinking, that the experience includes another opportunity to grow stronger?

That the last ten times we used the hammock, it was my 4 year old in there, and it was good it broke under me instead of under her?

What are your thoughts?

Whatever doesn't kill you leaves you with a rash that will not go away!

[ygmir]

Whatever doesn't kill you leaves you with a rash that will not go away!

like the swirling waters of Fukushima, as they roam the Pacific.

Dang it, Gonzo! If you'd waited another six months or so, you'd have resurrected a ten year old thread!

I was trying to figure out why there were all these people I had never heard of posting.... Haha.

[mgb327]

Well, Captain Goddammit is still around.

We sometimes call these events "opportunities for growth". Fuck that. I want it all, and I want it now. (Freddy Mercury).

[BBadger]

Whatever doesn't kill you may resurrect you nearly a decade later.

[MyDearFriend]

Whatever doesn't kill you better watch its daggone back, if I know you...

[FIGJAM]

Adversity builds character!

Too much adversity, and your just a character!

[TomServo]

If it ain't broke, break it.

[tatonka]

falling down is part of life , getting back up is living

[Elorrum]

whatever doesn't kill you, will try again.

[theCryptofishist]

whatever doesn't kill you, will try again.

Oh crap, no wonder it felt like there's a train stalking me.

old age is stalking me.

[FIGJAM]

Quick, play dead so they will go away!

[ygmir]

I thought if we played dead, they'd come closer and we could..............

[Elorrum]

This is starting to sound like a snipe hunt.
