past week has been totally
different feelings and
pains i went through.....

i was in a... blood relative house
as a guest for a week....
i had all the needs that
is required for me.....
a clean room... attached
washroom... fan plus cooler
24/7
huge tv screen with all
added apps... remote
control... very comfortable
sofa... small but
neat dining table.... window
to see outside.... a main
road... a huge garden
just close by.... time to time
food was given..
(24/7.. ... water and electricity)..
i mean nothing i can complain about....
but i was already suffering
from cold
and fever.....

the one week my stay made
me miserable.... more
headache aches... unbelieable body pain...
i almost thought at times
i should have learnt
some bad words to curse


yes..... i mean it.
now i understand why
some people use such words.

finally my stay there ended
came back to my own
paradise

God is really great.... within
48 hours i am back to life


yes.... Mental states can be fully conscious or unconscious. We can have emotional reactions to situations without being aware of why we are reacting. Each mental state has a physiology associated with it—a positive or negative effect felt in the physical body. For example, the mental state of anxiety causes you to produce stress hormones.

as i had already common
cold and fever

my mind was..... NOT.....
accepting
the stay over there
you see?

the body affects the mind, which in turn impacts the body (and the mind.)

On the other hand, what we do with our physical body (what we eat, how much we exercise, even our posture) can impact our mental state (again positively or negatively). This results in a complex interrelationship between our minds and bodies.



It turns out that despite generally healthy habits, anxiety prevents from paying attention to the cues body gives when blood sugar is.... going
too low.

Here in Ireland we are told it is now a crime to threaten or share an intimate image without consent ..
whom so ever that does so shall be facing time behind bars.
" excluding children and the vulnerable " it's not really a crime though or is it
personally speaking, I think there is enough crimes going on in the world without lusty careless people adding to them... JMO.

Love to get some of your thoughts on this one...

Some people thrive in crowds, while others feel best with just their own company.
Did you know your zodiac sign might hint at which group you’re in?
Let’s look at four zodiac signs that genuinely enjoy being alone.
If you’re curious about whether your sign is on the list, keep reading!
1. Taurus
Taurus, represented by the bull, is known for its steadfastness and love for comfort.
While they certainly can be social butterflies when the mood strikes, Taureans truly appreciate the peace and tranquility that comes with alone time.
This Earth sign values stability and routine.
After a long day, they find solace in curling up with a good book, diving into a personal hobby, or just soaking in a bath.
Their affinity for the finer things in life often means they’ve curated their personal space to be the ultimate haven.
For a Taurus, solitude isn’t loneliness; it’s an opportunity to recharge and connect deeply with themselves.
2. Virgo
I’ve always been fascinated by the unique blend of practicality and introspection that defines this Earth sign.
Being a Virgo myself, I can tell you that while we do love socializing on ocassion, there’s something incredibly satisfying about spending time alone.
It’s in these solitary moments that Virgos find the space to reflect, organize our thoughts, and meticulously plan for the future.
There’s a common misconception that we’re always about work and tasks, but in reality, our alone time often revolves around self-improvement and self-reflection.
I’ve found that for Virgos, solitude provides the clarity and calm we crave, allowing us to be our best selves when we do step back into the world.
3. Leo
Now, this might raise a few eyebrows. Leo?
The vivacious, spotlight-loving fire sign that thrives in the limelight?
While Leos are often seen as the life of the party and undoubtedly enjoy basking in attention, there’s a side to them that many don’t get to see.
Beneath that exterior, many Leos truly appreciate their solitude.
Here’s the twist: Leos are fiercely self-aware.
They recognize the value of reflection and introspection. For all their charisma and energy in public, when the curtains close, they like moments of silence to dream and plan.
It’s in the quiet that they harness their creativity and vision.
While the world sees a confident lion, in their private moments, they’re often the dreamy cub, lost in a world of imagination and self-discovery.
In solitude, Leos find the balance and grounding they need to be a better version of themselves.
4. Scorpio
Scorpio is often seen as one of the most mysterious and intense signs in the zodiac.
From my own experiences with Scorpio friends, I’ve learned that this Water sign has depths that many may never truly understand.
Scorpios are known for their deep and intense nature. I’ve always noticed that, despite their magnetic pull in social settings, many Scorpios truly like their alone time.
It’s during these quiet moments that they dive deep into their thoughts and emotions.
For Scorpios, solitude is a chance to connect with themselves, reflect, and grow.
While they can be the life of the party, I’ve found that they often need these moments of quiet to recharge and rediscover their inner strength.

There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one that researchers are exploring with gusto.
In a recent study published earlier this year, scientists found that using sleeping pills to get some shut-eye could reduce the build-up of toxic clumps of proteins in fluid that washes the brain clean every night.
Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis found people who took suvorexant, a common treatment for insomnia, for two nights at a sleep clinic experienced a slight drop in two proteins, amyloid-beta and tau, that pile up in Alzheimer's disease.
Though only short and involving a small group of healthy adults, the study is an interesting demonstration of the link between sleep and the molecular markers of Alzheimer's disease.
Sleep disturbances can be an early warning sign of Alzheimer's disease that precedes other symptoms, such as memory loss and cognitive decline. And by the time the first symptoms develop, levels of abnormal amyloid-beta are almost peaking, forming clumps called plaques that clog up brain cells.
Researchers think promoting sleep could be one avenue to stave off Alzheimer's disease, by allowing the sleeping brain to flush itself of leftover proteins and the day's other waste products.
While sleeping pills may help in that regard, "it would be premature for people who are worried about developing Alzheimer's to interpret it as a reason to start taking suvorexant every night," said neurologist Brendan Lucey, of Washington University's Sleep Medicine Center, who led the research.
The study spanned just two nights and involved 38 middle-aged participants who showed no signs of cognitive impairment and had no sleep issues.
Using sleeping pills for prolonged periods is not an ideal solution for those short on sleep either, as it's quite easy to become dependent on them.

I am a baby boomer. After WW2, things were looking up. Men came home and made babies. Even before, farmers made babies. LOTS of babies. There was work to be done and lots of children helped keep farms running as well as family businesses.
Then Japan and China got the idea they would run out of room. Lots of kids became frowned on. Even other countries thought people should not have so many kids. China clamped down..one baby per family only. And since boys were to provide for parents, baby girls managed to die before or at birth. Now whole villages in the hinterland are filled with young men and no women to marry.
In developed countries the average age is going higher every year. Young people are saying to heck with marriage and kids. Women figured out they dont have to be brood sows. Plus the young look at todays world and no way they wish to bring a child into it. What future will they have.
Southern countries seem to still be in the past and breed like mad. Part of the reason is so many babies and young kids die. So the thinking is one needs many so some might survive to provide for parents. And with lack of education, NGO's can't get it in their head if they have a couple, they can feed them. And get medical care. And they WILL live.
Now the world is shuffling. Those over populated countries are heading north. And some governments are welcoming them because laborers are needed to care for and provide for the elders who are over whelming the system. I read a democracy needs a slave labor force to exist.
Will the refuges and illegals meld into the north countries? Or will they see them as a free ride to use? Will they assimilate, or bring the crime, misogyny, gangs and lack of education and bring down the northern countries. Or in some, end up AS slaves.

I saw a list of all the ones running for POTUS! A radio talk show host. An entrepreneur, an author, an activist scholar. Sheesh..they crawl out of the wood work! Granted we already had an actor. But, he came up through the ranks. And another actor and a wrestler who were Governors. And as far as I see, good at it.
Why do people with little claim to fame think they are capable of dealing with the baloney of DC?
The masses never heard of them. They have no money and politics is a rich mans game.
Anyone remember Pat Paulson? Lynden Laruche. Pat Davis? Other also rans?
Meanwhile the same old guard gets back in. They have the backers and cash and know who to bribe and blackmail.

(ladies can not keep secret)
I am not in the group of people who can not keep a secret.

Well I never




You go Luis, stand your ground

Can't believe this has become so blown out of proportion as it has, more so from a woman who doesn't even know her own mind.

Red card to Jennifer, I say

Wonder if a female coach, president or whatever kissed a male player in the same circumstances would she also be accused of an act of violence
or asked to resign.

Where some women make me feel proud to be a woman, there are others who make me feel downright ashamed.

Every day, I get up and then? Is it old age? Is it the world that things don't matter anymore? Lack of demands on my time? The ability to do what I want, when I want..so do nothing?
My no routine is a routine. That irks me if anyone changes. Wake up at same time give or take a hour or two. Get up, dressed, TV news. Argh..it is Saturday..no news. sigh. Go outside and feed cat herd. Make coffee. And then..what. Could do this. Or that. That needs doing. Should be outside if nice. Why.
Lack of ambition? Lack of interest. Knowledge that when no one else cares? Or that when I am gone, what will change? Or all will change and no matter what I did, won't matter?
I feel like I am just treading water until the end. My I dont give a flock attitude.
