Why not lock all your doors...put a sign on the front of the building that says "out of business" after you've boarded up all the windows and just disappear?

Do you freeze up when you're being tested even though you know the material inside out? Do you like to take tests so you know how you stand, where you are, what you got right and what you didn't?

Contributing nothing of their own because they spend all their waking hours reading/listening to the contributions of others to find fault with it so they can correct it. It is what it is. They are whom they are. I guess it keeps them off the streets and out of bars. Mebbe not.With regard to paid critics who earn a living criticizing do you pay any attention them? If they thumbs down a movie do you not see it? If they thumbs down a restaurant do you not check it out for yourself? Do you live your life following the opinions of critics because you think it will save you from wasting your time and money? Why?Ever see a movie the critics panned that you loved? How about a movie the critics loved and waxed poetic about that you thought was stupid mundane sophomoric and a waste of time? Why would anyone substitute a stranger's opinion for his/her own? I don't get it. less

But there are some who have no guards up at all and can be hypnotized very easily. Once "under" the hypnotist puts a suggestion in their minds and then a "magic" key which is usually a specific word that will unlock that door. You've seen the theatrical demonstrations of that on TV right? Some gal named Pat used to do a club act. She'd have folks get up on stage, put them under, plant a suggestion in their minds and then a trigger. She brought them out of it and then deftly employing the trigger word what were typical humans beings became chickens that were clucking or ducks squawking including arms and legs that cooperated. It was always hilarious apparently because the audience would laugh at the spectacle and the hapless folks had no clue what was happening. Then the hypnotist brought them out of it and would show them what they had been doing by r... less

Well all these folks are dead on the only level that counts yet they keep pitching and twitching. Mindless nonsensical gibberish is all you hear all day every day. They are all on robotic automatic. How long does a twitching dead frog twitch? How long do robotic automatic former homo saps yap without a functioning brain? Freaks of nature? less

It cuts the dogs and the ponies down to size and we realize they are just ordinary animals doing ordinary things of dysfunctional typical devious self-serving nature. They never change. It is always the same. The same tricks done the same ways over and over and over and over and over and over etcetera and so forth. They are limited in all ways and yet some dog and pony watchers get caught up in the spectacle and elevate the dogs and ponies to heights that are dizzying. Dogs and ponies. Ponies and dogs. Joined together in union forever with fans cheering them on thinking that it all matters greatly. Pathetic isn't it? less

She plead GUILTY, took complete responsibility, apologized to her daughter for betraying her and is awaiting sentencing. I think some jail time is indicated but I'm not certain. She was charged with one count of illegal behavior.Lori Loughlin and her husband paid $500,000 to get both daughters into USC on bogus athletic scholarships There was much involved in doing that. They just pleaded NOT GUILTY. After the plea the judge charged whem with additional crimes of a more severe nature. I think at first they too were only charged with one count of criminal behavior. So I guess their punishment for not pleading guilty was to be charged with additional counts of illegal behavior. What are the mechanics of what happens next? Is this a typical way to proceed? Is arrogance involved? Do they honestly believe they did nothing wrong? I'm trying to figger out what possible value this will have to them and I c... less

So by July our son, his wife and their dogs will only be a 8 hour drive away instead of a two and a half day drive away. Cheers!

Well here we are today and the loss is Notre Dame...in Paris.It has sufferend "colossal damage" from fire that is still burning. Right now efforts are being made to salvage as much art and other priceless things that are there.I shall never see Notre Dame in in all its glory. Something so important and meaningful and sacred to Parisians, the French, the world has been heartbreakingly destroyed.Condolences to all the French who have suffered this great loss. Condolences to all of you who did see it in all its glory are saddened by what used to be there.And of course condolences to others like me who never had the privilege/opportunity of visiting the Cathedral when all was well and now we know we never will. less

But, as an adult returning to school, does it really matter if a degree comes from a state university or a no-name college, so long as it's accredited? Do employers really care at this point?
