would you consider this a conflict of interest

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 25 Mar 10

So I'm looking at the list the school gave me of counselors. This is for my daughter who is suffering from anxiety. And I see the name of the nice marriage counselor lady that we're seeing. And I'm thinking, hm, well I know her, I...

cloudwatcher Hi Dawn. I miss my friends here but I think the slowness is worse than yuwie ever was. I am keeping well and busy, with not much spare time so I think myLot won't be a priority. I popped in here because I had notification that someone had responded to one of...

More than a Religion: A lie that heals is worth more than truth that hurts?

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 13 Nov 09

Taken from the website: Answering Islam: A Christian - Muslim Dialog The author of this article has lived in Islamic countries "A lie that heals is better than the truth that hurts." Personally, I’d rather hear "the...

cloudwatcher Hi Deb. Thanks for the BR. I haven't been here for a loooooong time. Things have changed here. Considering the number of ads at log in and the dreadful sloooooowness of the site, I don't expect my patience will allow me to be here much.

cloudwatcher Thanks for the BR Dawn. I haven't been here for a looooong time. Things have changed here - all the ads at login and the slooooooowness! I don't think I have the patience to stay here for long.

I owe my good mood yesterday to Invader Zim and the American river...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 23 Oct 10

The kids, and especially Dearra, are into this show called Invader Zim. Zim is an alien loser who was sent to Earth. He thinks it's because he's supposed to set up a plan to conquer Earth, but the reality is that he was sent here...

cloudwatcher I've never heard of it but then that isn't surprising since I haven't heard of most of the things the young people talk about. Whatever makes YOU happy . . . . .

The economics of clothing pricing

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 18 Oct 10

Yesterday I took Dearra to get jeans. Yep, that girl has outgrown almost all of her jeans yet again. And she told me she liked the black skinny jeans, not because they're popular, mind you, but just because she likes the way they...

cloudwatcher Sewing classes! I guess jeans might be out, but an enormous amount of money can be saved by making your own clothes - and they are unique!

You're AM and I'm FM

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 19 Oct 10

You're short wave, and I'm satellite. In other words, we are on different wavelengths. Last night I was watching Invader Zim with the girls, and I got sleepy. I didn't get to catch up on enough of my sleep this weekend. So...

cloudwatcher Men are from Mars . . . After 50 years with a near-perfect husband and after bringing up 5 wonderful sons, I STILL so often think "It must be a male thing!" because it is beyond my comprehension.

the chicken or the egg?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 14 Oct 10

Do we do it to ourselves, or do they do it to us? You're not good enough. Nobody else will want you. Nobody else will put up with you. I suppose they tell you that first, but why do we keep repeating it to ourselves and...

cloudwatcher When these words are spoken to a CHILD, daily, over a period of years, they become truth and affect the character and behaviour of the child. They cannot be disregarded. They become fact. BUT . . . As an ADULT those...

Getting around annoying, but necessary security rules

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 14 Oct 10

Things have changed a lot with flying. When I was a child, I was able to actually walk onto a plane that my dad was going to be flying in, and meet the pilot. Then later they wouldn't even allow you to go to the gate unless you...

cloudwatcher Security measures don't bother me. I suppose I'd rather put up with them than make it easy for terrorists etc. We know the rules so we obey them. I wasn't aware of the new rules regarding sharp objects when they first came in. I had flown a couple of weeks...

Personal Responsibility

Amber @AmbiePam (97226) • United States 14 Oct 10

Have you noticed that lack of personal responsibility people seem to have these days? One thing my parents taught me was to take responsibility for my actions. If I didn't obey the teacher and got in trouble, that was my own...

cloudwatcher I'm sure it is the same there as here. Gone are the days when something was one's own fault. Nowadays when something goes wrong, the FIRST question one asks is "Who can I blame this on?" or "Who can I get to pay for this?" When a child is taken to task for...
