Internal locus of control, of course. » Posted By Questinia On February 26, 2011 @ 4:53 pm People are better one on one than in groups. It’s when people get into groups when they start getting odious. Think most families. » Posted By Questinia On February 26, 2011 @ 1:03 pm Evidence-based medicine is supposed to standardize care. I see it as a way to minimize lawsuits so the insurance companies don’t have to shell out the bucks. A walk in the woods is the best medicine! » Posted By Questinia On February 26, 2011 @ 11:56 am Boehner recently said on TV’s 60 Minutes “This is a capitalist society” and then something to the effect that people who don’t want to play that game shouldn’t be supported because they opt out. He is probably right. But, that doesn’t mean opportunities should be taken away. This is what happens when creativity, idiosyncrasy, craftsmanship, pride, artistry are no longer a part of society. We have become a corporate collective. POV and HP train us to be too farsighted by looking at the macro. I think most of the questions and frustrations you raise, Abby, are a function of a too large stage with few stars, some actors, a few walk-ons, and many, many unpaid extras. People were disenfranchised when the TV supplanted the hearth and neighbors became aliens. Corporate careers are like the TV. Corporations have brainwashed the public into believing that economic security is something only they can ensure and they have rigged the system accordingly. I believe in *think globally, act locally*. I’ve seen how neighbors can recognize one another, leading to opportunities for all. We may need to become a bit more myopic. » Posted By Questinia On February 26, 2011 @ 11:25 am You forgot about the new Carmelo Anthony sandwich at the Carnegie Deli: [img]http://s3.amazonaws.com/sfb111/story_xlimage_2011_02_R6731_Carnegie_Deli_Introduces_Carmelo_Anthony_Sandwich_.jpg[/img] » Posted By Questinia On February 25, 2011 @ 7:39 pm The Kochroaches Emerge from the Woodwork It could have used a few more shitpotles, fuckmeg and shitammon 😉 » Posted By Questinia On February 25, 2011 @ 12:01 pm Arab Uprisings: Still Writing History USA!!! » Posted By Questinia On April 5, 2011 @ 5:12 pm Dante was always one for wildlife preservation 🙂 » Posted By Questinia On February 20, 2011 @ 8:42 am Sarah Palin sings it while Rush Limbaugh does an interpretative dance a la Isadora Duncan. » Posted By Questinia On February 20, 2011 @ 8:36 am God listens and will relay your requests to Adlib provided you present God with a Cookie-Puss Carvel ice cream cake. Don’t ask me how I know these things. I just do. Sincerely, Our Lady of the ImmaQulate Qonception » Posted By Questinia On February 20, 2011 @ 8:32 am Precisely. I became a troll on a local one for a few days, following the “bad examples” of a couple of miscreant chaps. Patch bans you fast, gets the whole IP and bans you good. We had to go to “Hide My Ass” to post more anti-cauliflower baby posts. But, how can one derive any satisfaction when you’re dealing with a “news” website, which is slowly (not so slowly actually) and surely displacing paper news and actual reporting, whatever was left of it? “No real news is good news” should be Patch’s motto. BTW, there’s an article in a recent New Yorker elaborating upon the Patch phenomenon. » Posted By Questinia On February 19, 2011 @ 11:20 pm If it’s AOL, I’d say it stands for “America’s Opiated Life”. It’s meant to entertain and distract. Fox, at least, get’s the dander up. On the wrong people, unfortunately. » Posted By Questinia On February 19, 2011 @ 11:14 pm Yes, I read it on the Patch website, that powerhouse of investigative reportage. » Posted By Questinia On February 19, 2011 @ 11:08 pm Begun by one Huffington bitch. ~curtsey~ » Posted By Questinia On February 19, 2011 @ 11:06 pm Funny how Purgatory sounds a lot like the Huffington Post. » Posted By Questinia On February 19, 2011 @ 10:16 pm Writing Responsibly for Other Universes Gordon Dickson may have written splendidly about DNA, but it was Watson and Crick who described the helical nature of it in 1953. DNA was, in fact, “discovered” 100 years earlier when a substance dubbed “nuclein” was found in cells. I know these things because as a bio major, it was drilled into me. BTW, please don’t mention the name Gregor Mendel. Or peas, for that matter. 🙂 » Posted By Questinia On February 19, 2011 @ 10:52 pm I live at the northern end of that chain, in NW Ct. Housatonic Valley. Paleozoic era with many upheavals, the last of which, the Ice Age, has created terraces, tarns and moraines in my backyard.

By the time they are in eighth grade they read, write, and speak nearly fluently. On the other hand, they’re not teaching script anymore, so I suppose the same kids wouldn’t be able to read a letter from Grandma. » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 4:00 pm 🙂 » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 4:56 pm Literally! » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 3:53 pm I think I fit into this one quite nicely, thank-you 😉 » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 3:47 pm WOW they’re HUGE!!

Especially about regional differences and how the medical systems which best suit the culture and area seem to work the best. I was to go into primary care after med school. I was part of the Community Health Residency Program in Greenwich Village designed to take care of those people who fell through the safety net. This was in the early nineties. When I saw that most people who were being seen in the clinics were depressed and I realized that I was going to have to fight hard for every dollar I earned, I hightailed it outta there and continued to work in clinics treating the poor but in a specialty. I still get to use my internal medicine training which is nice and I don’t have to chase after shit, spit, blood and piss. » Posted By Questinia On March 6, 2011 @ 8:39 am Cub scouts, Boy scouts, brownies, campfire girls. As if there weren’t enough rules one had to observe as a child. I did Brownies for a year then I was out. I remember selling little gifts door to door. I realized at that point I couldn’t bullshit too well. So, I guess it was worth something. I would definitely have been the Girl Scout who’d get her hands caught in the cookie jar! Interesting thing to write about, Wolf. Obviously, it brings up memories for all of us. » Posted By Questinia On February 17, 2011 @ 8:54 pm Mid-Atlantic Trip Part 15: D.C. by Night Determining who would make it was part of the artistry of the record producer. In that way it became a collaboration. They saw the artist and wondered where they might fit and maybe even transform the music world. Now, it’s how the “artist” is shoe-horned into the industry of music commodities that are averaged out for guaranteed success. Audio-tuning is available to those who can’t really sing. Just put a beat to it l and pseudo-rappify it all. » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 9:58 am Abrakhiradabra gets ten stars without even posting! He prevails just on the fumes of his reputation 😉 » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 9:20 am TT is correct, sir! The 60’s seemed more earnest than now. At least I had the early 90’s when music seemed once again a bit more earnest. WTF happened?! » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 9:18 am These songs were so catchy and perky! » Posted By Questinia On February 18, 2011 @ 8:48 amComments Posted By Questinia
