Morbidity 2007-10-22 13:26:00 These are uncomfortable thoughts to have in my head; even more uncomfortable to discuss, but I have to dump them somewhere. It's perilously close to whining--can't help that, it is what it is.See, I have marquees in my head. Always scrolling along the back of my brain, mostly quiet but always there. They're like black electronic boards with bright white thoughts playing and replaying endlessly. Do you have those?I can't help what I think about. I have yet to master the art of shutting some thoughts out of my head. These particular uncomfortabilities (no, I don't think that's really a word, but I don't care) are abhorrent to some people...they say things like oh, you musn't think that way! and dearie me, how can you have such dark thoughts! and be positive! Think happy thoughts!Easier said than done, pal, especially when a person has a low 'cheeriness' threshold and a high bitch factor.My marquees are stacked three high, with their disturbing messages that I can usually ignor ...

MotherTalk Review - The Reincarnationist 2007-10-19 17:58:00 I have to start with this: strictly speaking, I don't believe in reincarnation. I am, however, open-minded enough to allow that it is not outside the realm of possibility. It's like I tell my non-believing friends when we discuss religion, God, Jesus...I guess we'll find out which of us was right when we die. Simple as that.Whether you are a 'reincarnationist' yourself or not, I think you'd enjoy this book: The Reincarnationist, by MJ Rose. Josh -- a normal guy, a photographer -- survives a severe injury and begins to have barely controlled lurches in his memory, taking him to ancient Rome during the time of the Vestal Virgins as well as 19th Century New York.Josh discovers that, through his camera's viewfinder, some people have halos, or auras, that cannot be captured on film...he thinks that perhaps these are the old souls in the new bodies. He finds connections (past and present), questions, adventure, and considerable danger--it's quite twisty-turny and exciting!One parti ...

You know... 2007-10-18 21:11:00 It's a damn shame that Child Protective Services is not nearly as diligent in protecting children as the animal rescue group that made Ellen Degeneres cry is about protecting pets.Yes, I realize that many, many wonderful and caring people work for CPS or DHS or whatever initials you're familiar with...but when little babies in my state are taken from abusive parents and then HANDED BACK to the abusive parents so that they're beaten even more until they ARE KILLED...then yeah, that's a problem. I know that many of the Child Welfare counselors are seriously overworked, overstressed, and WAY underpaid. I'm pointing a finger at the system as a whole.Apparently we care more about our pets than our children. Nice.And a P.S. to the animal rescue group--enjoy your bad press. You made Ellen cry, for crap's sake.P.P.S. I love Ellen. ...

Why you shouldn't trade exclusively on your looks 2007-10-17 12:17:00 I went next door for dinner last night and my mother(!!)--reality TV hater--was watching Beauty and the Geek.The host was telling the couples about their next challenge when one of the "beauties" said, "What's arithmetic?".During the selection process, the potential beauties were asked what they thought their I.Q. was. Answers varied from 2.0 to 24 to "what does that mean?"I am no longer worried that my daughter is going to flunk out of school for forgetting to turn in her completed homework. ...
