ohm ?

a few days without the need to set the alarm
a few days with no fixed pattern of waking , retiring , or nap time(s)
a few days of unlimited vegetating , of serene and undisturbed reading ..

when it all comes to an end .. as does all things perennially ..
it's almost a fact to accept , that the things that we don't always get , always seem to be the better, if not the best , of things ...

interesting stuffs ..

Dunbar's number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. Proponents assert that numbers larger than this generally require more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group. No precise value has been proposed for Dunbar's number. It has been proposed to lie between 100 and 230, with a commonly used value of 150. Dunbar's number states the number of people one knows and keeps social contact with, and it does not include the number of people known personally with a ceased social relationship, nor people just generally known with a lack of persistent social relationship, a number which might be much higher and likely depends on long-term memory size.

Dunbar's number was first proposed by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, who theorized that "this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this in turn limits group size ... the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained." On the periphery, the number also includes past colleagues such as high school friends with whom a person would want to reacquaint oneself if they met again.


hmm.. my recent check shows that (with consistent periodic clean ups) my FB list currently stands at 151 friends.
either it's just me, or this Mr Dunbar really knows his stuff ...
