Control can be many things to many people; to many it could be a matrer od self-control as opposed to control over other people.
I think I had an instinct for control in a bad way - you know......... the 'wanting what you think is good for another person' syndrome - it doesn't work at all!
People need to make up their own minds what they want and if you think they should want a purple Bentley Mulsanne Turbo when they KNOW they want a pair of pink roller-skates that is their desire and there is no point in telling them how good the pigging Bentley is!
I think I prefer a writer's group to making money; especially as I've reached all my financial targets I set myself for 10th June 2009 by today, 24th April 2009!
"We can restore the power of intent through a return to the true self, or self-actualization.
People who attain self-actualization reestablish their connectedness to the non-local mind. They have no desire to manipulate and control others.
They are independent of criticism and also of flattery.
They feel beneath no one, but they also feel superior to no one. They are in touch with the internal reference point that is their soul, and not their ego."
Well, I'm doing my own version of what I call a 'Dutch Auction' - already got over 3,000 euros worth of 'stuff' donated to auction off including a personal donation of a 1,000 euro bond.......... already sold 21 tickets (cash) today @ 6 euros per head for lunch and hope most people will spend about five to ten euros on the auction!
On Sunday, 24th May 2009 I wish to help raise between 8,000 and 10,000 euros for local charities - if anybody has any suggestions or help to offer please let me know.
It really works - saw a bed made of empty beer crates in a beautiful flat in Berlin back in 1989........... so it wasn't my original idea - I can't take the credit!
It MUST be 2009 When you're drinking red, red wine And wondering about the recession/depression blues 'Cos when you drink your wine Everything seems just so fine The news and blues they just dissolve away!
When you've been cruising for a bruising You might as well be boozing Then when you sober up one fine and sunny day........... The recession will be over Fields filled with bright yellow clover And the depression will have truly gone away!
Phoenix - you need to buy wine and beer by the crate and save the crates!
Once you have collected about 60 wine or beer crates all you need to do is buy a mattress to cover the empty (or full) crates and, 'le voila', you have a sturdy bed!
It's just an ultra scan but she's scared she'll be kept, while I've been thinking of bribing the radiologist to keep her in for say three days to give the carers and me a break!
I think she'll be ok - the doctor just wants it done as a precaution............ hopefully she just has a minor infection and is on antibiotics, but she screams and screams and screams when they take her to the ambulance and it's really not necessary at all......
My mum is going to the hospital shortly by ambulance - I want her to go there quietly without a lot of screaming as the sound really goes through me like scraping a metal pan with a fork!
