all is well in occupied Flanders

Greetings my friends. Some of you guys may remember me as Stan, from the good old tNP days.

Nice to see a similar forum is around again.

[Loki]

Hello Stan! I was wondering when you'd show up, welcome!

[Jimbo Gomez]

About five minutes after your thread on the Phora. You have to forgive me for my tardiness, I'd have been in four minutes earlier if nature hadn't called on me.

[Vulpix]

Haha, welcome Jimbo/Stan !!

....I'd have been in four minutes earlier if nature hadn't called on me.

Too much information ...

[Jimbo Gomez]

I'll see who else of proper stock I can contact to join.

How does this forum relate to the old tNP?

The Apricity is an entirely new forum. However, similar values are shared with the old Nordish Portal -- in that we are pro-Northern European.

many requests and suggestions
were sent to me -

hoping some one would finance
and resurrect the nordish portal.

as explained at blut und boden, the althing
and the nordish portal -
my time is promised to the girl-child.

Hello lei, how have you been?

[lei.talk]

wonderfully busy!

so far, it seems my son
was not the product of luck,

but, rather of knowledge, skill and consistency -

judging from the girl-child's progress and behavior.

i have been pestered
by - as william safire did say -
"nattering nabobs of negativism",
whose contention is that any pleasureable act
or action that brings pleasure

is inherently irrational:

That brings me back to a question mentioned earlier -

What makes the act of raising children a rational one?

only the same reasons
that would make any act of creation
a rational decision:

the need to develop a particular object/tool/mechanism,
the requisite knowledge
and a sufficient surplus of the necessary resources.

they are stymied
by the integrity of my ontology.
