Nam, anything is possible. Maybe I have old-timers.

Nam. Now that you show that guy, he looks familiar.

Nam,

I did do some research on the dangers of Skype, and there are many ways of your computer getting hacked. I am curious if somebody else had something similar happen to them...and is there any cause for concern with seeing such a message?

But, I do like the zombie explanation. That makes me rest a bit easier. lol

Nam, I think I am done with Skype for now.

RE: Let it go..and be free

I like the philosophy.

Sure Star. Feel free to privately message me.

Excellent Usha. You know, that advice you have given, I discovered for myself later on in life. People will be people and if they do not respect your boundaries or if they are doing something you do not approve of, you can either discuss it with them or begin to distance yourself from them. Ultimately, like you say, they are entitled to do as they wish, as with one's self.

The power tool. I figured it would have been something latex or something...but, it was better.

You ruined nothing BTW.

Pat....in the back pocket too.

Sorry Molly.....

But, maybe your might be on to something. Like your sifter, if one of those are not available, the can opener makes a great alternative.

RE: Valentine's Fight

Things are starting to add up a little now.

RE: Valentine's Fight

So Blue, your boyfriend just said out of nowhere, thanks for ruining Valentines? Even if he was busy and you wanted to do something for Valentines, for him to say that just does not add up.

Robert, you have life all figured out...I can really tell.

Pat....there, that is an essential tool.

I forgot all about the sifter....still confused by its use, even after you told me what you do with it.

I thought for sure, when I seen you posted on this one here, you were going to mention something about the importance on how to use a dustpan.

RE: Valentine's Fight

Hmmm, something seems like it might be missing here. I wonder if the "thank you for ruining Valentine's" came out of nowhere, or was it somehow provoked?

Legs....yes! I would totally agree with you on that. That is critical, listening...and many people fail to do so.

Star, a very good breakdown and very eloquently put. I don't mean to keep pestering you, but something else in your last statement stood out to me, something I have neither heard of or can logically explain it to myself...with certainty anyway.

You mentioned that emotionally immature people do not like responsibility. I am assuming you are speaking of adults as well. Why is that? It is especially interesting because I know some people, that I could never figure out why, but they just seem to neglect responsibility for themselves. And, some of them seem to be emotionally immature, in my opinion.

Cru,

Very good. Nobody said that life was easy...resilience is necessary.

Star, why is that....'have to' to 'want to'. I would assume it is in regards to the mindset, and the added pressure one may add (have to) over the other (want to).

Sorta both Star. Often what children learn are the things they bring into adulthood. However, there are things that both children are not informed of and adults overlook.

DD, that is one thing, in my opinion, that is tough about being a parent. If you follow the latest on things, gender roles have seemingly changed. I guess having children learn all aspects of living and not one set of gender specific duties probably is not a bad thing.

...and processing time too Star.

A great second list Star. I especially like the advice your provide about looking at negative events as learning lessons. ....in essence, making them a positive.

A very nice read. Thanks again for sharing it.

Star,

Excellent advice for those facing adversities in life. Absolutely. Once you become mentally defeated, the chore of digging yourself out of a hole becomes much more challenging. I recently heard this when I was looking into the mental aspects of playing pool/billards. They recommend that you visualize yourself making the shot, before even making the shot. I have never heard that advice before and I see you mention the same thing.

Not to minimize the people who do have much less....like access to internet and home. They might be victims of their environment and may have limited control in making things happen in life.

Perhaps....a different word than survive could have been used....however, survive could also be used....I think.
