My first thought about death and dying is to wonder if maybe many approach death and dying the same way they lived their lives. Seeing how it is with some lately, I'm thinking that maybe how we treat people and circumstances in daily life is maybe how we'll approach dying and death... treating people and circumstances the same way.
When we die, each of us at some point, what are we hoping others will remember about us and how they feel about us? Is that about the same as asking what our legacy will be?
It sounds easy, but for many... it's hard! I've always taken the dare to forgive. My feelings and heart can be hurt... but I still choose to forgive and not hate.
Now, I know this isn't everyone's idea of how to spend a weekend, but it worked out great for me. I spent part of Saturday sorting things and getting rid of a lot from my living room and dining room. I later went shopping at my favorite thrift store and finished by getting dishes done and spending time in my back yard. Sunday.... Spent the afternoon in the back yard. Used my big daddy fry pan on the fire pit and fried hamburgers, brat patties and hotdogs. I enjoyed the birds, squirrels and chipmunks... and just being outside, feeling the soft breeze. I was quite content. It was...
I don't think anyone should be spending a ton of time trying to find out how another person looks... sending pictures of what they think you might look like, asking for images, etc... it just kind of creeps a person out. The internet is not always a nice place with nice people. When someone seems too fixated, best to walk away.
In the last couple of weeks, my headphones were not getting sound and rarely worked... but once in a while they would have garbled up sound and then, nothing again. My speakers played for about a week after that and now...nothing! I ordered a USB item that is supposed to take the place of an internal sound card. Supposedly, I will be able to plug my headphones into it and have sound again. Some reviews said it works, but not nearly as nice as a sound card. Me, I'll use it if it does the job. lol
At least that's what many say. Sometimes, the one and same picture can evoke different thoughts, ideas and words from different people. So... when someone sends you a picture with no words, do they automatically assume you will read it correctly, as they wish it to be? I have to wonder about that and why a person can't attach a few words explaining why it was important to send that picture!
I've always been one to try to help others and just "be there" when I can. There came a time I quit doing that as much and now... it's time to take a look at it all again. I think I need to invest more in myself and what matters to me since nobody else really will. lol [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Sometimes, people we knew and got along with, become people we no longer agree with and don't talk to anymore, but we still never wished them any harm and are still sad to find out they are no longer part of this world. I knew before I read it...it was too much like Jack's passing... his phone was turned off and couldn't talk to him. It's a good indication something serious is going on.
Today.... tears fall and I am sorry for all those who no longer have that person.
The world of jobs and work is becoming a bit nuts for me and others around me. There is a ton of jobs being offered and the pay per hour is higher than I earn. Many of the jobs are pretty much the same as what I do already. It's getting harder to stick with jobs that aren't offering competitive pay for work that is strenuous. I wonder if this is how it is for many right now. And I wonder how some can afford to not work. Gas prices, grocery prices and all price increases makes it harder to stick with lower paying jobs too.
How often does anyone really look at the "soap" products they buy? Do people even know what half the ingredients are in the "soap" they buy and does anyone know what the ingredients are for (what they do and the purpose)? Many soap products are passed as soap even though they are made with synthetics and not what the "real" soap is made of.
"To meet the definition of soap in FDA’s regulations, a product has to meet three conditions:
What it’s made of: To be regulated as “soap,” the product must be composed mainly of the “alkali salts of...
I've never had a Facebook account...or been on Twitter and other sites like them. I never felt a need for that type of interaction but did do Disqus and now this site. Many sites will try to claim they are not social sites, but in my opinion, any site that allows up voting, down voting, interaction of any kind and can be used to interact with other users in a positive or negative way, is a social site since it often will be used that way. The problem I see with this is that many base their daily happiness or sadness on the amount of likes, up votes and dislikes/ down votes and getting comments...
Yet, I find myself deciding so many things right now. I'm going to be shutting down this site soon. I may post something once in a while, but it's most likely just a place to post what's on my mind. I'm learning I wasn't meant to matter to everyone, just to a few and internet just isn't what I was cut out for... People are set in their ways...as am I. None wanted to start threads or topics and most wanted a Disqus platform. lol It was a bit much to always be one to find topics and all. So... it's pretty much a done deal here now. NO hard feelings. :)
When you lose somebody who has become your whole world.. someone you were planning to spend the rest of your life with and the person dies... It's so very hard! He was my best friend long before I met many other people on internet. He stayed with me through all the crap in life and never once judged me. He was my angel in life and still an angel watching over me and others now. He healed what others broke and his heart was so beautiful.
Please forgive me if I tend to be absent and not very consistent. I've lost a lot of interest in many things. My whole world...
