If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.

In response to "Holiday traffic "

It's not hot here but I agree about reasonable people changing into sadists when it comes to parking spaces. It's insane during the holidays.

In response to "Keep on trying."

I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!

In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

Promet: Melancholy
Melancholy, which afflicts the creative types, was around in antiquity and is still present in civilizations that think of themselves as modern.
What do you think melancholy is?

Melancholy is a mental illness which is now called depression. I like the sound of the word Melancholy. It even sounds sad. It sounds romantic, a word which might describe a maiden from history. When I hear the word I never think it is used to describe an illness or condition a man might experience.
It’s a word one would use in romantic poetry, when the heroine is pining for her lost lover perhaps.

There was a film called Melancholia. Apparently it’s very difficult to watch. It’s about depression, mental illness and the end of the world. Not one I’ll be rushing out to see.
Perhaps it should be used more to describe the feeling of despair which so many people are suffering from today.
