In response to "Burnout"

I think you are doing just the right thing. If we can't get out of a situation, we should at least make it more pleasant.

In response to "To post or not to post? Questions from a new generation."

Since I joined WdC 5 weeks ago, I don't look at FB and Twitter much. Nothing can beat WdC!

Sorry to say I "waste" some time on FB too. I enjoy catching up on others' doings but like "Lady Lyn" wdc is my true love.

In response to "To post or not to post? Questions from a new generation."

I post everyday and share things with my family and friends, probably not my most intellectual side either but I really feel that the publisher is going to have accept that there are many aspects of me or he'll discover how ornery this old lady can be.

Facebook could disappear and I would be okay but if WDC did I would definitely have a break down.

It's good to see you blogging again.

You could try going to parks or out for walks to increase your downtime without people that wouldn't bust your budget.

In response to "Loving Competition"

There are all different types of love indeed and the love between a mother and child is powerful.

Romeo and Juliet was required reading for me in school and because we were made to read it I stubbornly resisted connecting to it. I am not a fan of his writing.

We are lucky to have so many options available to fulfill our desire for love and different genre takes on it.

In response to "The 99%"

Eye-opening take on the 1%.

I just hope they can see it that way.

The gesture on his part says to me he valued you friendship. I am glad it turned out really nice for you both.

The 99%

BC Prompt: “It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top.” Robert M. Pirsig
Interpret this quote in any form or style you wish.

Using this in my next book!

Basically it says to me that while the top (1%), financially, benefits the most, they would be nothing without the rest of us.

----
Note to self: Was updating my notepad to include a list of "People to look out for/Buy stuff/tickets for:" and the first word that came to mind was 'charity'.

I hate that I feel weird titling this 'Charity'. Why is 'Charity' such a 'bad'/'insulting' word for some people? I think it's a bad idea to perpetuate b/c it infers that those receiving charitable donations are somehow...suffering. When really it's just nice people doing things for other nice people.

So, as I often do when I need to remember the intrinsic meaning of a word, I went to Google (the new dictionary):

1.the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need.

synonyms: financial assistance · aid · welfare · relief · financial relief ·
[more]

2.an organization set up to provide help and raise money for those in need.

synonyms: nonprofit organization · voluntary organization ·
[more]

3.kindness and tolerance in judging others:
"she found it hard to look on her mother with much charity"

synonyms: goodwill · compassion · consideration · concern ·
[more]

I figure since 2/3 dealt with NEED, I can comfortable say, that while I THINK everyone "needs" support and community friendship, those in question may not feel they 'need' it. So I changed the list title to "Goodwill" ;-D
