No, s...<i>"Is this deja vu all over again?"</i><br /><br />No, sir. I was in the process of making an explanation, apparently, <i>while</i> you were posting your question.<br /><br />I care a great deal how things <i>look</i>. It affects the way others are apt to respond in subtle –– and sometimes not-so-subtle ways.<br /><br />The formatting on this item kept getting worse and worse every time I tried to "fix" it in Blogger, so finally I just gave up, and redid the whole shebang.<br /><br />Too bad we're not allowed to repost in the original position, but ... well ... we do the best we can is all I can say.<br /><br />~ FreeThinke<br /><br />PS: I encourage you – and everyone –– to look backward a bit when you're over here, and make comments on older items if the spirit moves. We aim --- AHEM! -- always to post Words of Timeless Significance. ;-)<br /><br />The article on shampooing with Dawn being a prime example.<br /><br />Cheerio!<br /><br />~ FTFreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-82919652178100948412012-06-28T09:24:05.916-04:002012-06-28T09:24:05.916-04:00No. You are not "seeing things."
For s...No. You are not "seeing things." <br /><br />For some reason the formatting on this post got so distorted and out of whack, we couldn't stand the sight of it, so we Removed the original post, took it back into Word, reformatted it, and posted it again.<br /><br />As a courtesy –– and a sign of appreciation –– we reposted the two comments we received as best we could as "Anonymous."<br /><br />Frankly, we still hope for more response to this item, even though it is more "philosophical" than "political."<br /><br />One of the things we hope to achieve at this place is to foster an awareness that what one may learn from religion, philosophy, poetry, fiction, and Art both <i>informs</i> and <i>enriches</i> the way we look at politics.<br /><br /><b>The political process becomes downright cannibalistic if we attempt to dwell on it to the exclusion of other –– <i>frankly more important</i> –– things.</b><br /><br />Thanks for your understanding and indulgence.<br /><br />~ FreeThinkeFreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-5445191934406311042012-06-28T09:22:26.403-04:002012-06-28T09:22:26.403-04:00Is this deja vu all over again?Is this deja vu all over again?Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-29491154649740076322012-06-28T09:13:38.835-04:002012-06-28T09:13:38.835-04:00 Silverfiddle said...
Very nice post, FreeThinke... Silverfiddle said...<br /><br />Very nice post, FreeThinke. Thanks for the mention and kind words.<br /><br /> We can get so wrapped up that we forget to "give of ourselves," and often don't even realize we are being stingy. <br /><br />AOW: It is indeed a gift from God to be able to let things "roll off you back."<br /><br /><br />June 25, 2012 9:38 AM Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-51850456090708966242012-06-28T09:12:38.291-04:002012-06-28T09:12:38.291-04:00 Always On Watch said...
I'm pretty consiste... Always On Watch said...<br /><br />I'm pretty consistent in applying forgiveness until I'm pushed in a way that hurts not only me but also others. I CAN stop dwelling on offenses once I get to a certain point. <br /><br />The last words that my mother spoke to me (She didn't know that she would be dead less than 12 hours later): "Don't hurt your health." Over the years until she found a remedy, which I will explain below, Mom had fretted so much over politics, current events, and certain nasty family matters that she had her first heart attack at age 44, with 7 more heart attacks over the next 4 years. Eight heart attacks (mild ones, thank God) in four years! The excellent doctor that she had discerned the pattern: Mom would have a heart event if (1) she mopped the floor or washed the windows or (2) paid attention to the news, both in print and on television/radio. <br /><br />As Mom got older -- let's say around age 50, she learned to let disturbing matters "roll off her back." She was always a woman of great faith, and she finally committed to her heart the fact that the Lord knows what He's doing. <br /><br />Mom died in the coronary care unit, the best one here, a few weeks before she would have turned 72; she was in that unit only because of her medical history, and the problem was a gall bladder attack, the pain from which put too much stress on her heart. We didn't have an autopsy done, but the doctor's best evaluation of her cause of death was something called "heart block," an electrical disturbance of the heart and a disorder that also claimed Mom's first cousin some years later at roughly the same age. Honestly, we should all die in that same way: fast, painless, etc.<br /><br />June 25, 2012 9:26 AM Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
