    Wow what a great introduction! Thank you for taking the time to all that information. The music is great too! I have added those to the music threads here: Epicurean-Friendly Art and Music

    Oscar we are always in need of new ways to get the word out. Could you tell us how you came across this forum?

    Thanks!

    Oscar thank you very much for the kind of offer of support. I think Hiram has a patreon entry, so you might want to consider that, but I have not put one up myself. Over time and as the site grows I will revisit that, because I do think it encourages camaraderie even to make small donations, and we definitely want to encourage teamwork.

    You have certainly hit on the main purpose and benefit of this site. I have typed more words than I can count on Facebook that are forever lost, but here each word we type is findable and hopefully helps build a base from which we can work toward active Epicurean cooperation.

    The best way you can help is to start threads of your own, contributing to existing ones where you can, and also helping us spread the word to other friends of Epicurus who haven't yet heard of the site.

    Thanks again!

    Welcome again Oscar

    Here’s my tip jar/patron page:

    https://www.patreon.com/hiram

    That goes to supporting the fees for societyofepicurus.com page. Also, feel free to ask for specific content if you donate. For 2019, I am trying to create awareness and encourage discussions about Epicurean economics, because I feel that this is an under-developed area that deserves more attention. My last 20th message was the first conversation starter on the subject.

    Hi Oscar! Godfrey here. Just want to say that I've been thoroughly enjoying the street drummer Dario Rossi. Amazing performance! I love how hard he works, how hard he must have worked for years, and how much obvious pleasure he gets from his drumming. It's inspiring to see how pursuing one's pleasure with passion and perseverance can not only multiply one's pleasure but spread it into the world as well.

    Thanks for that!
