Jolanta's Profile

My philosophy is to be happy, every day.

scurry comments on Jun 17, 2020:

I strive to find happiness everyday, and to approach each situation with positivity and a smile, but I also don't shy away from any emotion. They are all valid. When I get angry or someone has done or said something upsetting, I try to stay calm, take a step back, and look at the situation from ...

Jolanta replies on Jun 17, 2020:

Yes, but then there are people who are just plain nasty and mean spirited and when I do encounter them, I just thank my lucky star that I am not them.

Jolanta comments on Jun 14, 2020:

Yeah, other countries do not seem to have this problem, no matter of the religion, except that they do behead people in Saudi Arabia of course.

Jolanta replies on Jun 17, 2020:

@Rodatheist I have done some travel around the world and no other countries do not have the problem. I have also traveled in the US for many years and they seem to have had it for a very long time.

@Surfpirate Of course.

I am waiting patiently for the Salvation Army shop to reopen so I can go back to volunteering.

resserts comments on Jun 15, 2020:

I hope things open up quickly, and safely, so you can get back to helping and doing what you love. The center where I volunteer had an in-service video conference the other day, but I was unable to attend. They are slowly reopening and resuming services, and there's some sort of waiver they sent...

Jolanta replies on Jun 16, 2020:

They finally opened up the shops. I will be there on Saturday doing my bit.

Lots of kangaroos on Canberra hills. Great walking tracks.

MissKathleen comments on Jun 15, 2020:

Do they shy away or are they curious? I have read that they can be dangerous.

Jolanta replies on Jun 16, 2020:

They stand and look at you and then they hop away. Many people walk Canberra trails with dogs and unfortunately some of them will let their dogs off the leash and they chase the roos. They can be dangerous, some are bigger than and average man.

Jolanta comments on Jun 15, 2020:

If you injure yourself on the mountain and don't have health care, what happens?

Jolanta replies on Jun 15, 2020:

@LiterateHiker Okay, but then when you are taken to a hospital is when you have to pay out of your own pocket in the US. It can cost you your house probably, that is if you do have a house.

I just can't be a vegan or a vegetarian. I've got enough in my life to deal with, such as pain, depression, and PTSD. Yes it would be better if animals were raised on small farms.

Jolanta replies on Jun 13, 2020:

You don't have to become vegan, how about you just don't eat meat every day and you get that meat from organic places.

The longest journey you will make in your life is from your head to your heart.

Jolanta replies on Jun 10, 2020:

@azzow2 I remember when my son was 13, he had done something which I don't remember now what it was. Which he had been spoken about time and time again. I confiscated his game boy. He was not happy, said why don't you just give me a trashing instead and let me have my game boy. I know what you are saying and I do agree with you mostly, however there are those who one can talk to or teach by example and there are those one cannot. Sometimes a smack on the bottom works wonders more than 1000s of words.

I don't know about this. This is history which should be thought in history lessons not special lessons or shall there be special lessons about other atrocities?

Jolanta replies on Jun 10, 2020:

@Bobbyzen Well so the problem is not only not learning about the holocaust but not learning about all the other atrocities and the rest of history.

Jolanta replies on Jun 9, 2020:

@Theresa_N Surely when one is at work doing ones job you are covered by your place of work not special personal liability? Of course it is different if you bring a gun to work and start shooting people or in any other way harming them, but then your place of work is not responsible for what you have done unless they have instructed you to do so. It doesn't seem right what the Guardian is saying about the reason for them resigning.

JackPedigo comments on Jun 4, 2020:

And just how are they doing this? It would rally be great to have a euthanasia program here and, in Switzerland outsiders can come and take advantage of this. In the Netherlands one has to be a citizen. State sanctioned euthanasia might seem like 'bumping off' to some.

Jolanta replies on Jun 6, 2020:

@JackPedigo Maybe it was not a conscious decision but it was a decision that they did not do much thinking thru.

Sorry to hear about your heart attack. Glad you are still with us. I guess a heart attack is like a wake up call to take greater care of ourselves. You make sure you are doing the right things.

Jolanta replies on Jun 5, 2020:

@JackPedigo Well, I don't know but I am brought up in Sweden and suspects that I may be right. Just imagine if let us say half 2200 old people die, how much money do the state save on pensions, medical needs and keeping people in care homes. Millions, upon millions.

Stories of Jewish Vengeance. I personally approve of these acts in history. How do you feel?

Jolanta comments on Jun 2, 2020:

When we are angry we all want some vengeance but when we take it into our own hands it is often counter productive. We want a change for the better for all, a change that will last, not something that will keep the hate and bigotry going.

Jolanta replies on Jun 5, 2020:

Google it. Sweden doesn't not have any lock down. They expect their citizens to be doing the right thing. More than 4000 people have died in a very small population and more than half of those people are in care homes.

OK! I officially have to translate English into English for my self. When you say "Chips" you really mean "Fries". And when I say "Chips" you see "Crisps". And that not to mention the whole "Biscuit/Cookie" debacle!

@AncientNight Yes, that was so. I live there when it happened.

Too many atheists are hostile to the religious.

Jolanta comments on May 24, 2020:

I think that this is something that happens mostly in the US. I have done some traveling and have found that in other countries people are not so. They are not that way inclined in Australia where I live.

@itsmedammit No, not really. Not even in the Phillipines where they are very religious (Catholic), and I have travelled in Islamic countries too.

@AncientNight I wish we drove on the right side of the road. Do you know that in the 60s Sweden decided to drive on the right side too. In one day the whole country changed from driving on the left to the right with no problems.

JackPedigo comments on May 23, 2020:

Had to really laugh. I had a small bed of asparagus and harvested some 10 stalks so far. The bed is really in need of weed maintenance so I decided to take the challenge. Wrong. when I approached a bird flew out of the weed patch. When I investigated this is what I found. Hopes she returns and I ...

That's lovely. I hope she comes back too.

The weeds will always win in the end, they have home town advantage but if we can even manage to keep them in check without resorting to chemicals then I call it a win.
