…is equal to the love you take

First off, let me lay out who am to the degree that you can get some context.
I’ve been blogging for five years, participating in forums two years longer than that, and using the Internet for eleven years. I had a career as a licensed clinical professional counselor prior to health issues which are managed but [...]

(Above) Brad On Tuesday in Nice 
Though Angelina Jolie’s Caesarean section birth to twins in a French hospital is not scheduled until next Tuesday, the actress-charity worker sounds as if she’s ready to get it over with now.
While staff praised her her extreme politeness when she first arrived, after a week spent confined to the 4-room suite in the private Lenval [...]

Every new “Today” seems more anxious than ever. Do you find more solace in “Yesterday” or “Tomorrow”? Why?
Solace: comfort in sorrow, misfortune, or trouble; alleviation of distress or discomfort.
Find solace in yesterday? No. Tomorrow? Tomorrow is probably what I need solace from, lol.
Today is as anxious as I allow it to be. It’s an old-fashioned [...]

Post Secret was offline (down) before my offline trip of 5 days so I am really behind. I’ll make a sincere effort to catch up. Don’t forget to go to the “search” box on this page for more “Post Secrets.”
This Post Secret is priceless. It articulates so many feelings I have as someone that shoots [...]

My 20-year-old self. She needed to have a good talking to.

Seriously, I’m not desirous of going to back to do things differently but it would be interesting to compare where my line of thinking was going compared with today. In some ways “we” seem like completely [...]

What personality trait has gotten you in the most trouble? 

I’m too blunt.
People ask for an opinion and then sometimes they aren’t happy with the answer. Sorry, you asked!  It’s OK to just tell me I’m wrong.
I’m very honest* I suppose, to a fault.
So I forget to “pretty up” the phrasing of something and tick people off.
Or [...]

If I were an alien life form and I had only this Episode 11 of Survivor 16 upon which to base my assessment of humanity it would be this: Women are heartless, gloating conniver’s and men are…dumb.
Way too much time was spent setting up the inevitable outcome of this episode–mostly with Natalie savouring her (temporary, [...]

I love the reasoning behind why we started to wear high heels–to avoid one another’s excrement!
My grandmother always encouraged us to go barefoot. Her son–my Dad– taught me to do the same though [...]

Yes, the weather was outstanding this weekend past and it continues to be now that the official work week has started.
I don’t have an “official” work week and at first I saw that as a bonus.
Lately though I’ve realized how much I work online and how little I’ve tending to things offline. Yesterday, I “forced” [...]

 This is my favourite Post Secret  postcard from this week:

It took me a moment to “get it” but when I did, it made me laugh.
I live with three males and I have no doubt that in a pinch a scenario like this is quite possible.
In other “news,” I got drilled today. My tooth did anyway, [...]

For some reason I’ve got the lyrics to Lonesome Day floating around in my head.
Baby once I thought I knew
Everything I needed to know about you
Your sweet whisper, your tender touch
I didn’t really know that much
Jokes on me, its gonna be okay
If I can just get through this lonesome day
Lonesome day
I know the lyrics sound [...]

Man, it totally has not helped that spouse brought home a bunch of Girl Scout Cookies including the new ones this year that I’d heard are good. And they are good. Damn it.
Just call me the Cookie Monster.
I wonder if they are still called Girl Guides in Canada. Let’s get them a [...]

“The Clintons are in a difficult position,” said Dennis Goldford, a political science professor at Drake University in Iowa, who has tracked the presidential race. “If she wins the Democratic presidential nomination, she would need Obama’s supporters. But she needs to be careful. If this talk of him on the ticket is seen as a [...]

Think of 10 Internet years ago compared to today. Remember when AOL was a major player, Google was a quaint-looking but fast growing start-up, Pets.com–remember them with the talking puppet commercials on television? No one really knew what Amazon.com was, people become dot.com millionaires overnight. They were flush with success as were so many other [...]

What piece of advice do you wish you could take?
No one really tries to give me advice because frankly, I think they are afraid to as I used to be a bit more prickly than I am now. Not to say that I don’t have my moments even now, but I am older and at [...]

My deformed piggy toes.
The uniqueness that is me?
Um, they broke the mold when I was born.
About 18-24″ (comfortable personal space ["set apart"] from someone I like).
Is there a serious way to answer this question ’cause I’m thinking of the immortal words of a Mr. Fred Rogers?
Hmm, apparently Fred didn’t say all that [...]
