• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Plato makes it simple...

"Reality is created by the mind, we can change our reality by changing our mind." - Plato
It shows that we are mind. And the body is an appendage. When you look at Stephen Hawkings or others that had nothing but dissadvantages and come out with a mind like that!! My wifes cousin died about three years ago and she had 3 brothers. She had a phd, her brothers were all born blind. The first brother got up and spoke the Eulogy for 30 mintues on Tennysons Crossing The Bar. It was incredible...I found out that he was the poet lauret of Georgia. The next brother was a top manager of a corportion in Georgia and the third was the most intelligent man that ever graduated from Georgia Tech. Barbara was the only seeing person of the family and she was a gem.
 
That was a remarkable literary story. One of the most beautiful. I encourage everyone to read it. Socrates was so well loved by his pupils and his bravery showed a great understanding of life.
