Most Commented Lifestyle Blogs (2,470)

It is coming....this Friday for those of you who don't own a calendar.

Normally, I wouldn't think really anything of it....but as I lay here on my couch with a fever and really not much better to do, well....

Somebody who seems to be a very down to earth person....from across the planet...who has a reliable source has informed me that thing from Dec 15 to March 15 might be a bit rocky, at best, for America and Europe.

political / natural disaster wise...


I sure hope she is wrong.

One of these days I will come up with a blog that actually puts a smile on people's faces.

I am probably one of the most boring people when it comes to extreme thrill seeking. I don't know if you would get me going to the mouth of an active volcano, or hanging from the side of a cliff without some sort of safety measures.

Coming from that mindset, I wonder if people who are extreme thrill seekers should be locked up for their own safety.




....as something a bit extra here.

That lady in the commercial who gets here new high-end exercise bike looks scared to try it out for the first time. Hmm...

It hasn't dawned yet but everyone agrees things won't ever be quite the same

There are some things from our respective quarantines many would like to keep. For those who can, working from home, with perhaps one or two trips to the office a week, would be good to keep

More meetings online instead of dashing around on planes trains and automobiles, definitely worth keeping

Socially, not being expected to kiss-kiss or hug every stranger you meet, that works for me

The floor is open. If you were in charge of designing the New Normal, what would you aim for ...

I had a self-realization today. Woken by the phone ringing, I answer it still half asleep. On the other end, a close friend of mine…I will name him Joe. Joe is a truck driver and he is complaining to me about another driver that he teams with (or follows because they have loads going in the same area). Because Joe is close to me, I share in his frustrations.

Not even as I hang up with Joe, my call waiting beeper alerts me to another incoming call. This time, it is another close friend of mine…I will name her Missy. Missy is complaining to me about how she did a favor for her brother and that good deed turned into a huge issue. Her brother ended up canceling an important meeting with the garage to have his vehicle repair, which both the brother and their father needed to have on the road. The garage owner calls Missy letting her know about this failed obligation by her brother and father…telling her that he had to pay a guy for five hours of labor, for nothing. Again, I know all these people very well and also share in their frustrations.

After getting off the phone, I am thinking to myself, what the hell is going on here? Everyone is in a bad mood and somehow, I am getting stuck in the middle of it all. As I open the door to leave my home and walk outside, the frustrations I felt immediately left me.

The day was bright and beautiful, mid-70 degrees , and a light breeze. I thought to myself, how did those frustrations leave me? Then it occurred to me. I have a lot of positive things in my life. I am not going to go through and mention them all, but a few include, a gorgeous day, the ability to walk, the ability to see, good friends, good family, etc. Also, I have faith in my life. I have faith that life is going to work out the way it is suppose to for me and therefore no real worries. Now if you are not religious (I am not the religious either), one still has many positive things in their lives….but, do you choose to see them?

With talking with Joe and Missy, I can tell these situations they were in are going to define their day for them. In fact, Missy was telling me that she was going to tell her brother that she wanted nothing to do with him anymore. To a person with an abundance of positive perspective/energy in their lives, that sounds like a drastic decision. But, with a person that has very little positive energy in their lives, this one conflict becomes a defining moment in their lives.

I thought of this for an example. I watch Naked and Afraid on the Discovery Channel. Usually it is two people, a male and a female, that are dropped off in some remote area naked and each has only one tool of choice. They are left out in the wilderness to survive for 21 days with nothing but each a tool. Somewhere in the middle of their time, they are usually very hungry and thirsty. There is no abundance of food or water. You should see them when they kill a little snake or a little mouse for food. They are very excited and it defines them. To us watching on our couches while eating our bag of chips, we can see that the little snake or mouse does not mean much to us…in fact it is repulsive.

It is the same thing when we live our lives in abundance of light energy (love for ourselves/others, compassion for ourselves/others, appreciative, respectful…etc.) or an abundance of dark energy (hate for ourselves/others, disrespect for ourselves/other, envy…etc.)………when you have an abundance of potato chips to eat, a nasty burnt chip is not going to affect you all that much. When you have no abundance of food, that tiny mouse makes your day. When you have an abundance of positive energy within you, that brother that upset you is not going to define your day. When you have an abundance of negative energy, you want to disown your brother and have it define your life.

This has been a quick year, or is that only me? Just saw a post on FB which says

2 more Fridays to Halloween
5 more Fridays to Thanksgiving
10 more Fridays to Christmas
11 more Fridays to 2017.

Eek.

23 more Fridays before my life as it is now changes forever - my company is closing its Scottish office and I will be surplus to requirements.

1 more Friday until I know all the details for one option open to me - relocating to the English head-office 400 miles away.

So strange to be at a point where different futures lie ahead and I haven't a clue, right now, until Friday, what ANY of them will be. At least on Friday I will know the details for one.

Sure, everything could change in a heartbeat, the world as we know it could be turned upside down tomorrow for one of us, or some of us, or all of us. At least I know what's coming up. Unless everything changes!

No stress. Ommmmmmmmmm. But saying right now if I am tetchy at times during this period of upheaval, I am apologizing in advance.

What do you think and why? Unity on this planet of all people or not?

With all of this talk about people requesting naked pictures, people sending naked pictures, and people receiving naked pictures, is there really a point to sending naked pictures over the internet? I would safely assume if a man received a naked picture of a woman, there would not be too many complaints. But, how about the women who complain over receiving naked pictures of men, or more specifically, their p*nis? I suspect there is a reason for some men doing this. I mean surely they themselves or they have heard of another man having success with doing such a thing....otherwise, why do it in the first place?

Do women really enjoy receiving those pictures?
Would a woman decide to meet up with a stranger after seeing such pictures?
Just how common does this occur?

We are all virtually tied together with social media. Is the idea of a traditional relationships becoming extinct?

...and no, I am not thinking about sharing naked pictures.

I just had a conversation with someone today and this topic was brought up.

i just feel like putting this blog out there
dont judge me coz of where i am coming from or where i am at
but where i am going .




sometimes people in our lives let us feel worthless because we may not have a a sophisticated job , drive a fancy car or own a mansion .
we are looked upon as being worthless.

everyone wasnt born to do the same level of jobs , drive the same kind of cars , own the same size house if so who would empty the bins? who would buy your older model cares or even work on them? where would everyone find enough land space to accommodate all the mansions ?

we all have our place in this world and we werent all born to be high achievers .

but in the sense of the world we are all equal no matter what we do , own or have achieved we all have had our struggles and until u have been where i have been u can never call me worthless .

something i see happens

and a part of my own
