I normally can find something of interest in the other OffTopic thread but outside of the LOLcats it still seems to be a continuation of the nay-saying, fear-mongering that was happening before the election. I really, seriously wonder if these people have a life? Someone today sent me an email to say that finally, with Obama's election, intelligence is back in style in the US. I can't wait for it to make its way over to the other OffTopic thread cause it sure isn't there now.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

.― Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Good Early Morning to all of You,

I was having a dream about line-ups at an airport to get through customs. :blink:

I mean, I thought I was over that trauma.

And the last few times I did this, it went super smoothly, except the one (first using A/P) time that took too long and I missed my plane by a minute or two. Now with the resident card, it is okay.

So why the dream?

Bleh.

As for OT (the other one, not this beautiful place), I woke up with a thought.

I was "attacked" there and that is nothing I am not used to. :P

Many get attacked, I am not singled out.

The attacks are by people that others attack back....well sometimes they try to reason with them and finding that impossible they...

It seems there is this role they play.

I realize that the person/people who do the attacking say things that demonstrate to me that they assume that they are smarter and/or more clever.

Instead of having a meaningful conversation, they just want to cut someone down. No reason required....just negative behaviour.

It must feel like fun to them.

Ah, the ego at play.

I know that when someone lashes out at another it is because they are hurting.

Without understanding there can be no peace.

And some people are just not willing to go there.

Oh well, the choice is mine whether to engage or not.

I choose peace, love and understanding....as much as humanly possible. :lol:

It is high time to review (for myself too):

The Four Agreements ~ Don Miguel Ruiz

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

SpiritAlight edits due to extreme lack of typing abilities. :)

You will do foolish things.

Do them with enthusiasm!!

Don't just do something. Sit there.

I'm going to see Smashing Pumpkins tonight! I first saw them when I was 15 years old and I ran away from home in North Bay and hitchhiked down to Barrie alone to see them at Lollapalooza. I told my mom I was going to the store and didn't return for 28 hours. :lol:

Tonight will be my 10th time seeing them. Its special. :D

Hello everybody! :)

I have arrived in ND safe and sound, just in time before the blizzard hit! The trip was fun even though spending 2 days and 2 nights in a vehicle gets old pretty quick! :D

I'm pretty busy installing everything though so I'll be on and off for a while.

Hope everybody is doing well. :)

Glad you've made it home safely to ND. :star:

A great time of the year to get reacquainted with a warm blanket, cocoa and a good movie.

Good Morning!

Glad to hear you're safely in ND Pandora. Hope you don't get TOO much snow.

We're going out for a "country drive" today and probably explore some towns and villages along the way.

E...the stick??? :lol:

Enjoy your weekend, whatever you're doing!
