Just to wish you all a happy new year, and as I always tell myself: Yesterday, the weather always will be acceptable. <3

As I said in my other post, I’m pleased to have you here - whilst sorry you are in a bout, you have a good vibe that I resonate with. Yes! I have thought more than once about most of your suggestions and I love it - whether there is an out of the box solution or something custom, there is an old world charm about the forums here that I really do appreciate but understand if it was a little more in line with the times like integrated into an app it might be able to add more value, whether support, social connections, helping more people, fellowship etc. Someone from the awesome admin team might be able to give an update on any behind the scenes improvements that are in the pipeline. I’m sure I read somewhere there were some website things in the works. Good on you for offering your skills man, that’s what I just love about this community, people are too good.

@Craigo thank you for the laughs:) I can definitely use those atm! I don't touch hákarl ever tbh! it stinks more than it taste but unless it would abort CH I don't think I would eat it. And yeah somehow CH have a sneaky way of teaching you about the fragile balance within our bodies hey. Ok now I thought my mycology knowledge was rather advanced but I've never seen that NZ mushroom before! How funky! tbf i'm not too educated on non western fungi except for a few celebrities ofc. Here I pick mainly psilocybe semilanceata, it is potent indeed and quite consistent which is an advantage but definitely not as exotic as your alien testicles:) cheers mate, hear you next year!

Do you guys say this as you slurp another piece of fermented shark from the tin? Hehe. I really love that saying though, I will remember that! Sorry to hear about your bout with pneumonia, glad you are on the mend from that - hopefully the steroids and I suspect antibiotics didn't mess you around too much. A couple of years ago I had a real bad run with a recurrent bacterial infection that used 5 rounds of antibiotics before my doctor presented a biologic which I had said absolutely not in a million years - saw a functional doc, got it under control but low and behold that was the one year I fell from cluster free remission whilst maintaining the target vitamin D3 range - opened my eyes to a few different topics including microbiome - sorry to say I don't know that the fermented shark packs a probiotic punch like kim chi though. You also mentioned in another post about foraging up there in Iceland for medicine, I suspect your varieties would be quite different to what's found in more warmer climates. It's the same in New Zealand, we have mystical magical varieties down under, one example being Psilocybe weraroa, they look like little blue testicles and pack a heck of a punch. Happy to see you here on the forums - I recently landed here earlier in the year, good bunch of folk here and we all seem to love cats. I feel like this is the more appropriate place to share recent research. So... I sign off by saying Happy new year and thank-you for the old one!
