PW. And the older I get… 😉 » Posted By 2belinda On February 14, 2011 @ 1:35 pm Sometimes I am waaaay left and other times I am just in the far left lane. I find that often circumstances dictate that I adjust my speed to the conditions on the road. It is difficult to just ride that left lane all of the time. Sometimes I have to move a little towards the center. Just a wee-bit and it does not compromise my core principles. This is IMHO. My Grandmother use to have this saying that just drove others “debating” with her to frothing at the mouth status. “I may not always be right, but I am never wrong”. It works on so many levels. Salvatoris, I hope you will clean the mud off your shoes and stay awhile. » Posted By 2belinda On February 14, 2011 @ 1:03 pm Your lead to The Sisters of Mercy: Vision Thing was a wonderful management tool. The shakes and the shimmies stopped almost immediately after listening. Many thanks for helping a Sista’ out. 8) » Posted By 2belinda On February 12, 2011 @ 5:10 pm I like to believe the Pres. is a listener, then a thinker and then a doer. And he doesn’t think everything needs to have something done about it. When he does act it is with cool stealth. 8) Some of the criticism of the President is based on the warp-speed that information is received from around the world and a desire by some for instant action. » Posted By 2belinda On February 11, 2011 @ 4:09 pm WATCH LIVE: Mubarak Resigns! Egyptians Celebrate! The revolution in the ME and North Africa has just begun. It is fitting that the Egyptian people, the proud ancestors of a great ancient civilization, should lead the way to regime change and removal of despots all around the region. They did it with such eloquence and grace. Peace and Blessings to Egypt » Posted By 2belinda On February 11, 2011 @ 8:32 am Marion I think I understand the point you are trying to make. Racism in all its forms is debilitating and reprehensible no matter the locale. There are sections in NY today where racism is alive and well. However the fear I felt traveling in the South back in the day when segregation was the LAW did not compare to the need to be alert and mindful while traveling in NY, Philly, with it’s brutal police force, or in Boston. The Maryland Eastern Shore in many ways mirrored the worst examples of segregationist policies anywhere in the deep South. By 1962 the major employer in Cambridge Md, a factory, had shut down and Whites unemployment was 7% and Blacks 29%. Two remaining factories, defense contractors, had an implied agreement with the White workers and the Cambridge City Council that they would not hire any Blacks and in return the factory workers would reject any attempts to unionize. As many White college students joined in the civil rights demonstrations in Cambridge which included various civil rights organizations, they were beaten and arrested repeatedly. It is a fact that the White students were beaten in larger numbers and more harshly by White vigilantes than Blacks. An interesting note is that this is where H Rap Brown was also arrested for “inciting a riot” in this small Eastern Shore town. As a NY’er and as someone who was present as many of the Northern cities erupted, I do not believe that the riots in the North were a result of White backlash as much as it was about a struggle for civil rights and equality for all human beings and people growing sick and tired of being sick and tired of their rights being denied and those who wanted to keep the status quo. The New York Race riots of the 1900’s had a very different flash point. I am sorry for going on perhaps too long but having been present and had my head banged a couple of times I cannot allow it to be reduced to White backlash. » Posted By 2belinda On February 11, 2011 @ 1:13 pm Tips For Newcomers (and Regulars Alike) I promised myself I would close my account at HP on the day Egypt was liberated. Done and done. Feels good. » Posted By 2belinda On February 11, 2011 @ 11:16 am How kind, thank you! Feeling my way around but feeling like change is good. Peaceful even. » Posted By 2belinda On February 9, 2011 @ 7:37 pm Oh, I am whole again. I managed – now I feel just fine. » Posted By 2belinda On February 9, 2011 @ 5:45 pm Thank you. I am off to get my avatar. Everyone has been so helpful and welcoming to those of us who are migrating from HP » Posted By 2belinda On February 9, 2011 @ 5:44 pm you are gracious » Posted By 2belinda On February 9, 2011 @ 4:05 pm Me too. It feels good over here. My battles with AOL are epic and I managed to get a refund out of them and swore I would not deal with them ever again so it s away from HP I must go. I try to keep my word. Feeling very “Duh” cannot figure out how to get my avatar over here with me. » Posted By 2belinda On February 9, 2011 @ 4:04 pm help me out please » Posted By 2belinda On February 9, 2011 @ 3:56 pm [img]people-eyes-clipart1.jpg[/img] Left HP, shaky – but arrived and saw many familiar faces. OK now. » Posted By 2belinda On February 9, 2011 @ 3:48 pm In the 2 days I have been here I have learned so much more about folks whose comments at HP were familiar to me but learning the back story is touching my heart – deeply. » Posted By 2belinda On February 10, 2011 @ 6:44 pm Mubarak: Half sunk, a shattered visage lies It would have been far better if HM had decided to bow out gracefully. Alas…I guess giving up absolute power must be very difficult. Sometimes the eye tricks a person and makes them blind to what others see so clearly. Thanks for all the info. » Posted By 2belinda On February 12, 2011 @ 8:52 pm I weep with joy for the Egyptian people. They have realized their power and it looks like many more will now revolt against other despots in the ME and North Africa. Peaceful revolution is simply eloquent. The martyrs lives have not been lost in vain. It’s a beautiful day in my neighborhood. » Posted By 2belinda On February 11, 2011 @ 8:19 am Looks like this one is going to be considerably messier than Egypt. Thanks for sharing. » Posted By 2belinda On February 14, 2011 @ 4:37 pm Oh yes! Laproscopy is the fast way to recover since it is not as invasive as other methods. So rest easy. Your wife will be fine and I send you well wishes. » Posted By 2belinda On February 10, 2011 @ 7:10 pmComments Posted By 2belinda
Ah, but the fun of being in two places at once just can’t be beat.
There have been plenty of times I wish he had been verbally more aggressive but I defer often to his judgements since I figure he has available more information than I do on most political subjects.
thank you
How?

Let me reassure you – the pain before surgery was awful (AWFUL). The second I woke up after surgery I was a new person. I left the hospital 12 hours later, pain-free. Other than some dietary changes, which I should have undertaken on my own prior to being forced to, all is well. I realized after, that I had symptoms for years and just ignored them until…
