You tend to be the leader of the group, and some people perceive you as intimidating, even though you're soft and sweet inside. You are intelligent and sharp but never use your knowledge to ridicule others - it's very rare to find your kind.The bald eagle is both the national bird and national animal of the United States of America. The bald eagle appears on its Seal. In the late 20th century it was on the brink of extirpation in the continental United States.

This can start in childhood with overly critical parents or peers... They avoid doing or saying things that might cause them to be rejected... and eventually they are no longer able to trust their own instincts or consider their own needs..Interesting and fascinating to me as always human nature.. I never tire of learning about people and how they work... But let it be said, it's probably clear that I wont be one who behaves in ways to gain approval.. doesn't matter to me if I am not popular. I don't seek popularity.. indeed it's arguably as I mentioned above it can be considered an issue we should address, as always pleasing others can lead to us losing ourselves.. I am perhaps feeling cynical today... or slightly so.. after a suggestion or two lately that ... less

I had just finished working on the stupid yard, I had a drink in my hand, and I wasn't going nowhere.After about ten minutes of mindless watching, I realized Revenge of the Nerds was on. I looked around for the remote, cursed a little a lot for a little, then said to myself, Whatever...so I watched Revenge of the Nerds. . . . . .all of it. . .

Is it only specific children who have specific parents that are worthy of concern/attention/care? Can a heart be so sharply compartmentalized? Ivanka emphasized that she was a mother when she sales pitched for daddy dearest. As if that were important. As if children mattered. Whose children matter and why? Sad that all children don't matter isn't it? :( less
