Displaying 61 To 90 Of 2,133 Comments The fragility and unpredicatability of life…. It’s a strange experience, isn’t it? I remember that article, and thought it quite thought provoking…I am going to re-read it now, thanks for the reminder. I’m sure you are right, that I didn’t know HOW to process what I was sensing or what my subconscious mind was telling me….it’s still sucks to have not known HOW to use that ability or to have ignored it. {sigh} » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 6:16 pm Thank you jkk….you are a dear. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 6:12 pm Foodchain…oh my goodness…I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter’s friend. I appreciate how you wrote your thoughts regarding death. Our culture doesn’t seem to like to talk about it, and I think we should, so we can learn to come to terms with the concept and thus can celebrate the life of those who go before us. Thank YOU for your thoughts….I can’t tell you how much it is appreciated. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 6:12 pm Thank you for your kind words. I know it is true, what you say, time will make it easier, I just hope we all learned something from this and can honor her memory by using what we learned for the betterment of all..she really espoused the ideals of people caring about one another and working together for the greater good. She was appalled by the selfishness so inherent in our current culture. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 5:48 pm Thanks WTS, I do think there was something to the ‘signs’…maybe it was being ‘tuned in somehow’ on a subconscious level. I don’t know but it was very strange…It was like, I was watching it all in a movie or something. I wish I could explain it better….I remember thinking while it all was happening how strange everything was and I just kept ignoring it all…even as I stood there, looking at her, I knew….I just knew and KNEW I had known…I wanted her to wake up and prove what I knew to be wrong…you know? It was weird. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 5:45 pm Thank you Sally…you are so right, much more valuable than gold or silver! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 5:41 pm Thanks Haruko. I appreciate your kindness. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 5:40 pm Thanks Cher, As I posted above to Ad-lib, I told the story for a few reasons, and part of it, was to deal with it. I will let you know what happened to her, if we do find out…they said it takes 30 days for the autopsy results and 90 days for the results of the toxicology report. WOW…it boggles my mind how long it takes for them to make a determination. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 5:39 pm Thanks Buddy. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 5:32 pm Thanks Ad lib…I’m up and down. I wrote this story for a few reasons….one because I needed to get it out…and I thank you so, for providing the forum. Second, because, It was a wake up call, for all of us…sometimes, we are so involved with the ‘minutia’ of day to day living and all the bs, that goes with it that we forget how important REAL people are and how fragile life really is.. I know I speak to the choir here, because as liberals we seem to understand that better than others, it’s part of our DNA…but I just wanted to remind everyone, to remember it can end in an instant. Lastly, I wrote this, because I thought the eerie things that happened that night, which we ALL neglected…I believe they were some sort of subconscious instinctive reaction and we ignored them, because perhaps we have been conditioned to ignore them and not take them seriously…even thinking ourselves silly for paying them any heed…and perhaps WE all should spend a little more time, listening to our gut, especially when it comes to those we care about. I am so sorry that you too, experienced the loss of a young friend, it stinks. 🙁 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 5:31 pm The Republicans’ Meatloaf Strategy I’m actually thinking this makes a lot of sense and would be something they would do. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 23, 2011 @ 7:45 pm Excellent article Marion!! I agree, the pundits have become way to big for their britches and full of themselves. They are making the divisiveness in this nation WORSE and it’s only for their own gain. They really should be ashamed of themselves. Sadly they don’t realize you can disagree without being disagreeable. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 22, 2011 @ 12:22 pm Weekend Music Thread – Armegeddon Rock This was excellent Ad Lib….put a much needed smile on my face. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 22, 2011 @ 11:56 am Figures…some people are JUST NEVER satisfied. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 19, 2011 @ 11:03 pm Well said. You have echoed most of my sentiments. I too did not hear much about the speech today, just before coming to POV, I happened upon an article that was full of right wing whining…but it was easily ignored! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 19, 2011 @ 9:59 pm Bito, I think it was a very powerful speech. And I don’t understand why I’m hearing very little about it, except for the usual whining of the right wing. {SIGH}. I have many thoughts about it…but I’m tired right now…and in the process of working on something else. I will come back with more! 🙂 » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 19, 2011 @ 9:56 pm Exactly! The way the right frames this argument is LUDICROUS! Even some right leaning economists are having none of it! It’s so frustrating…and sadly those who don’t understand ANY of it or any of the concepts…buy the bullshit, hook, line and sinker!!! URGH!! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 18, 2011 @ 12:55 pm Thanks Cher….I look forward to reading the rest! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 18, 2011 @ 12:54 pm I do think you are right Cher. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 18, 2011 @ 12:52 pm “Ross added: “I’m not an economist, but I have maintained a household. The federal government owns 70 per cent of Utah, for example. There are federal buildings. If you need cash, let’s start liquidating.” The above is the type of comment, that drives me ape shit batty! The right constantly does this…and sadly so do TOO many others, both those in the political arena and average Joe’s alike. MICRO economics (homes and businesses) operate very differently than MACRO economic concepts…why they persist in using this dubious argument of comparing a household budget to a NATION’S budget it annoying to say the least. While there are some concepts that CAN be used to illustrate a point, the overall concepts are quite different. A nation CAN print it’s own money…and individual household CANNOT! URGH~! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 18, 2011 @ 8:24 am Well said Cher. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 17, 2011 @ 11:12 am Indeed WTS, it does seem that we don’t think about the unintended consequences of our actions as a species. I always tell me kids, just because you CAN do something…doesn’t mean YOU SHOULD do something….you have to consider the consequences both GOOD and BAD behind what you do and weigh it all out. Sadly, man doesn’t do that often enough. WE often react FIRST and then much later realize the problems we have caused. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 17, 2011 @ 11:10 am WTS, I too am disgusted by so much of what goes in our society today….it utterly boggles my mind…and makes me so sad. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 16, 2011 @ 12:38 pm I agree with Caru, that was very well written. Provided much food for thought. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 16, 2011 @ 12:51 pm Cher….Great compilation! I especially loved the Plato quote! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 14, 2011 @ 6:46 pm Exactly! » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 12, 2011 @ 6:56 pm Exactly Buddy the status quo is working quite nicely for THEM…there is no incentives for them to do anything other than what they are currently doing. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 12, 2011 @ 6:55 pm I wholeheartedly agree Cher. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 12, 2011 @ 4:37 pm Excellent point Cher…it is absolute insanity! {SIGH} » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 12, 2011 @ 4:36 pm Oh my God that is horrible Jkk. That literally breaks my heart. I just don’t understand how we as a society can find such things acceptable. » Posted By Abbyrose86 On May 12, 2011 @ 4:34 pmComments Posted By Abbyrose86
Thank you so much for posting this…I had a busy day and was unable to watch the speech and I prefer reading it anyway, as then I am sure I understand the message.
