I know I've been a tad reticent. Here's why:Wednesday night, Tim started complaining of a sore muscle in his chest. Apparently, it had been present for a couple days. But suddenly it was so bad, he felt like he couldn't breathe properly. And so off to the hospital we went. (Though, until he went into more detail, I was the kind of delightful caregiver that sneered he needed to take an ibuprofen an
Image by earthpro via FlickrIt is difficult to accept the fact that 40% of American voters believe that Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as President of the United States. Regardless of one's political leanings and whether one finds her charismatic in some way, her lack of qualifications have been so apparent during her few interviews as to be beyond question. This point is hammered home by the g

This story is written from the perspective of a student who was in his words 'interrogated' by the housing department because his roommate learned he was gay.

In this weeks’ episode, Kevin & I talk about dealing with confrontation, and to do it in love. All of us, no matter what position we are in will have to confront someone about something, and when that happens we need to be able to do so in a way that not only honors the [...]
I watched the Steve Wilkos for today, I am so proud of those two for confronting their dad. They were so brave, truly brave. I’m very impressed. I don’t think I could do that.
No real point in me confronting those who harmed me, they’d just deny it and I think that would make the hurt [...]
The song "THE KILL" talks about a relation, but not a relation between two people, but the relation you have with yourself. The moment you have to confront your fears, insecurities, you have to see who you really are, your beauty and ugliness.&q..

It was an extremely popular material in a variety of industries until it was determined that the fiber caused a deadly form of cancer. Now, many people may have asbestos products in their house and [...]
If I had to boil down a bucket's worth of psychological guidance into a concentrated drop of potent advice, it would be to focus on developing your ability to effectively soothe and confront yourself.Soothing and confronting are the two most essential basic skills of emotional self-management, and yet many people struggle with one or both of these skills. All too often I see people who have made some mistake heap react by heaping shame and scorn upon themselves, which is not a very effective way to comfort an emotional hurt. It's also very common for people to respond to their own ruffled emotions through some form of unhealthy numbing such as addictive eating, chemical use or some other way to escape feelings.Similarly, it's an all-too-common human trait to ignore the great effort that
Any hotel worth its salt is doing its best to provide you the cleanest, most comfortable stay that they can provide. Unfortunately, it's not the raves that make online consumer sites like TripAdvisor, so before I begin, I'd like to encourage you to take the time to gush over those great hotel experiences on these sites when you have them. I surf the web and sometimes it looks like one giant
An interesting piece on Dr. Mohamed El Baradei appears in The NY Times today: “Dr. ElBaradei, who is 65, seems unfazed, even energized, by all the dissent. He alludes to a sense of destiny that has pressed him into the role of world peacemaker. He has called those who advocate war against Iran “crazies,” and in two long recent interviews described himself as a “secular pope” whose mission is to “make sure, frankly, that we do not end up killing each other.” Those that advocate “war” and seemingly anything that actually gets in the way of Iran’s quest for “peaceful nukes,” could be deemed “crazy.” Anything other than negotiated agreements is going against the grain of the common understanding that Iran can be negotiated with because they like everyone want stability in the region. This I am sure somewhere in time is true; in the meantime and for the foreseeable future however, murder, terrorism, mayhem, rhetoric and instability is the consci
I tried to find something else to do.
I printed off all the "we lost our passport" paperwork and then printed off the "please give us a new passport" paperwork.
I watered the garden, threw some laundry in the dryer and got dinner out of the freezer to start thawing. (Chicken breasts and a whole chicken actually, as I couldn't decide between the two so we'll have one tonight and the other
In case you missed it, Danica Patrick got into a little scuffle with Dan Wheldon on pit row after the two bumped on the track at this past weekend’s A.J. Foyt 225 at the Milwaukee Mile. Danica had to pit and get a steering linkage piece replaced, which put her a lap behind the leaders. She rallied back to finish eigth. Dan Wheldon got the better end of the collision, and ended up finishing third.
Check out the video of the confrontation (pops)
Here’s a video of the crash. While I’m a Danica Patrick fan, I give Dan Wheldon the benefit of the doubt in this case. You be the judge:
danica, patrick, dan, wheldon, AJ Foyt, Milwaukee, IRL, scuffle, confrontation, feisty

I'll remember that voice forever."What is your name, Clone?""I am Jansa.""NO, YOU AREN'T""You don't know anything. All you know are lies.

I confronted a skeptic on a climate blog today.The skeptic: "As long as nobody explains why climate change has occurred before without human interference I will continue driving my SUV. By the way check the Channel 4 film."I countered with this:"By my understanding previous occurrences of climate change has been in repeated cycles and the causes has been due to variations of earth's orbit. The rapid climate change currently happening is not caused by natural variations. Today's changes are occurring 10 times faster than previous changes found in the ice cores. This dramatic and rapid kind of climate change is unusual in a geological context. When they have happened they have been combined with catastrophic events. The Permian extinction was one of them. Human activities correlated to climate change is visualized here.About the C4 film: http://coinet.org.uk/information/swindleresponseDriving a SUV is stupid. Buy a Honda Civic Hybrid instead."
