AnneWimsey comments on Sep 2, 2018:

What's up with this post? "Layers of delusion"??? Everybody out in public, anywhere, anytime, is wearing some layer(s) of "delusion", I guess...for example, I put on clothing, for which you should all be profoundly grateful!

Especially not me

Yup! Unless you want a serious illness of your own, like smashed kneecaps.....

I think I really found the man that is going to make me happy forever.

No one can "make" anybody happy, that is a horrible burden to lay on someone and pretty much guarantees failure!

Advice needed please

AnneWimsey comments on Sep 1, 2018:

You could ask questions, a few a day, which they would need to think about the answers, such as why do es Gawd allow? such suffering...you can use any of todays headlines so they feel relevant. Then you could go on to discuss parts of the Babble from an historical standpoint....for example, the peaceful canaanites being slaughtered so "gawd's chosen" could get their lands....kids that age usually have a strong sense of right & wrong...just get them thinking, soon they will have questions for you! Good luck!

Your mortgage is half way through and you have enough in the bank to pay it off.

Even if you get "picked" what's to say you won't get dumped soon thereafter? And I am not trying to be downer, either! My point is, are you already happy with most of your life? If someone comes along to enhance your life, excellent! If not, go about your lovely day secure in the idea you lack for nothing!

(Impromptu post) I don't believe dreams always have direct meanings although I know some are a lot ...

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 30, 2018:

Dreams usually are working out events/problems in your mind, so any interpretation must be strictly personal. On the other hand, they can be bringing up bits from 20 years ago, lijje if you heard a snippet of music from then, or smelled an odor that triggered memories. So, IMO, spending a bunch of time on dreams is just not very helpful!

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 28, 2018:

It is Dangerous to speak up in a domestic violence situation, Very dangerous! As a survivor, back before there were any hot lines or shelters, I know this is true! It is also tough to probably lose your job, or at least get black-balled forever, in your field if you speak out! Sort of like what gays have had to go through, but there IS, I believe, a "critical mass" of reporting/protesting, that when reached can benefit All....i hope to see this level reached in my lifetime! When people start to see there are more abused people than they can comfortably ignore, and how it effects Everyone, they are forced to confront their own reactions...just as it was easy to harm/isolate/ignore gays, until it turned out to be your daughter, son, etc etc etc.....

Any suggestions on how to get my dogs flea pill down her?

AnneWimsey comments on Aug 26, 2018:

I do not care for ingested poisons for dogs....much prefer topical, you can remove them if dog has a bad reaction. But, if you must...open the pill & put it aside, quietly. Dogs notice more than you think....if you combine this action with making yourself a sandwich or coffee, the dog will not go on alert! Later, Enrobe the pill in a teaspoon or 2 or 3 of Chunky peanut butter. I used to have a dog that would lick off the peanut butter, then spit out the pill, but if I held another bit of peanut butter right in her face she would swallow the first blob to hurry up & get the second blob.
