I’m glad to see you here!!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 12:58 pm Good point! Very good point…my daughter battled this one and it is tragic how many young girls are battling that disease. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 12:56 pm I saw that movie too, I think it was Josie and the Pussy cats…the movie! I remember thinking when I saw that movie, it’s probably closer to the truth than many of us like to actually acknowledge! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 12:55 pm Sounds like she is on to something. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 12:50 pm The server seems to have its good days and bad days. But overall the experience IS positive! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 10:04 am It’s amazing how it all it all ties together…isn’t it? » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 10:02 am You bring up many good points there, choicelady. This perception that there is a utopia and things actually CAN be perfect…sets us up for failure. Perfection is simply not a possibility, in any man made creation. MAN is not perfect…ergo it stands to reason that nothing man creates will be perfect either. We need to get our priorities in order, as a society…otherwise we are eventually going to self destruct. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 10:02 am Thanks Lornejl for the book referral. That too would be my only complaint about PlanetPOV…other than that…it’s wonderful here! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 9:48 am As usual PW…you bring a thoughtful perspective to the subject. I couldn’t agree more with your last paragraph especially, I don’t think you are off base at all. Like I said, I thought this a good topic for conversation here, and I am sure many have various ideas and opinions as to the hows and whys we are at this point in our development, as well as what can be done about it. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 8:57 am Oh my goodness Brodie…I’m so glad you are okay and everything got cleared up. Thank you for sharing this story. It is important that stories such as this ARE brought out in the open. They can’t really be told enough. Too many people just don’t realize. (BTW, I know this isn’t the important part, but it was so well written, I just feel the need to let you know that I’m in awe of your writing abilities!.) » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 8:46 am Truthfully, as I look back at some of the worst moments of my own life and the pain that accompanied them, I am now grateful for those experiences. I would not be who I am today if not for those very painful life events. They still hurt sometimes, BUT they were also the best learning experiences I could have ever had and as such provided the opportunity for me to really find what is important to my life. I like that term ‘beneficial pain’…I used to go to the gym quite often and my trainer often said “no pain, no gain” it works that with much of life, I think. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 4:38 pm Oh WOW…Kilgore, thank you for sharing your story. So many times hearing the struggles of others, humanizes the concept better than all the clinical analysis in the world. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 3:54 pm 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 3:41 pm Exactly PW…thanks for mentioning that…that’s exactly the type of concept I was thinking of! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 3:37 pm Kesmarn, you have touched upon something that has disturbed me greatly in recent years…the desire to make all bad go away through any and all means necessary, especially through medication. I’m not suggesting that EVERYONE who is on these medications doesn’t really need to be…But I think that many of those on those medications don’t need to be and maybe stifling their own REAL purpose by being medicated. Bad things happen to good people AND bad things CAN be used to create good things and great ideas. Without having some level of bad, how can anyone appreciate the good? “the sweet ain’t as sweet without the sour” » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 3:25 pm As usual Cher, you have provided a very thought provoking piece. I know for myself, the death of my mother at a fragile age, along with other family trauma, was a turning point in my own life that has led me on a journey of my own. One where I am seeking out understanding of many of the ideas put forth by these men. I truly look forward to reading more and look forward to your next installment. This is a subject matter that I long to learn more about. Thanks. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 15, 2011 @ 4:52 pm Help Keep The Planet In Orbit – Donate Today Can’t wait! missed you! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 24, 2011 @ 3:05 pm SO you cool you are here!!! It’s so easy…you can talk about whatever you want here…and no moderation! Just act like an adult, be respectful and you are golden! You can even edit your posts. Our hosts are wonderful! Say hi Adlib! Boomer! etal! For all the technical stuff…I will have to defer to the others…as I’m terrible about remembering the how tos Welcome aboard!!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 24, 2011 @ 2:55 pm Hello there Strega! So nice to see you! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 5:38 pm Adlib…I could use the information you mentioned earlier for sending a check. Thank you. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 3:58 pm That brought a tear to my eye. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 15, 2011 @ 5:38 pm From a union worker family standpoint… Thank you for writing this…I too want to know why so many don’t understand the history of the union movement and why they think unions are bad. Obviously the many who are opposed to unions don’t understand the concept of the employment at will doctrine, which is the rule of the land in all but 1 state…Montana. Too many people think they have more rights in the workplace than they actually do » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 5:51 pm Exactly…it’s all about power. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 15, 2011 @ 8:23 am Sadly it doesn’t seem to be that common these days! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 4:19 pm BDM…you just touched upon a great point…I think there are many who pursue certain pursuits in school…but don’t belong doing what they studied and end up making a mess of it…because that isn’t what their own innate abilities were suited for…I think that maybe why so many people are so miserable. Not enough self reflection when determining their career aspirations, and simply looking at how much will the potential career pay. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 4:18 pm TY! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 4:16 pm I am of the belief that intelligence and wisdom are impossible to really measure. Because what is intelligence? While some people have the innate ability to ‘see things’ that others do not, or are able to perceive things that others do not, is that a mark of intelligence or is that something else. Others have the ability to memorize or have a great ability to recall information quickly…is that intelligence or something else? Some people can communicate beautifully and articulate their ideas in such a way, that there is no lack of understanding by others…is that intelligence? Then there are those who can express through music, or with a canvass and some paint, or with a piece of clay their emotions and views on the world…is that a mark of intelligence? And then there are others who can express things in mathematical format using ancient symbols…is THAT intelligence? Or is intelligence the ability to do all that or only parts of that? My question is what is intelligence? On the other hand, some things are just plain stupid…such as not knowing where you country is on a globe OR trolling on Craigslist and listing yourself as a single lobbyist, and THEN posting a shirtless photo of yourself to someone you were flirting with on that forum…when you are a CONGRESSMAN…that is just stupid and IS easy to quantify! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 4:12 pm That’s a good one A…that will go on my list! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 4:01 pm Exactly KQ…reading books helps one with the basic concepts….living through the experience helps one really understand them. I drive my family crazy with these two little gems: “YOU do not know, what you do not know, ergo….you never know HOW you are going to react to ANYTHING until you actually experience it.” » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 3:57 pm @david p You made the following comment a moment ago: And it brought up some questions in my mind…what do you consider an entitlement? What do you think human beings are BORN entitled to? DO you think that some have the ‘right’ to exploit others? WHAT do you believe are human rights? DO you ever think about HOW externalities affect one’s life? DO you every think about the lack of opportunity some really have to just provide the basics for themselves? Seriously. DO you think about how one person IS born with SOME marketable innate abilities and another is not so fortunate? DO you think about how a child born to great wealth or with great looks has an advantage due to an accident of birth? I think this is the difference between many on the left and the right (not all, mind you) but I think many people on the right fail to really THINK of these things and simply ignore the outliers as being inconsequential. Just some things to think about » Posted By Abbyrose86 On February 16, 2011 @ 3:47 pmComments Posted By Abbyrose86
