the old e-ton school//guy arrested for spraying sillystring//world hunger - stunts brain development
"... the old e-ton School. I loved climbing those stairs and entering the studio on the top floor with all the mirrors [former dance studio at a schoolhouse]. The downstairs was unused and I always wanted to explore it. Outside it was like stepping back in time. Outhouses were built attached to the side of the building. We were so shocked to find they were three-seaters! lol ========================= "What is happening to our Country that can allow someone to be arrested for spraying Silly String? Twenty years ago had you called the police for being sprayed with Silly String they'd have shown up & beaten you down for wasting their time. What is it about creating a society of
fat, weak, cowards
that America finds so appealing these days? pretty soon physical interaction will be considered an offense and
people will need to purchase sex permits from the government or face the death penalty. sounds silly? we are well on our way there."

"Extreme poverty is the sort of useless suffering where a child might die for lack of a 30-cent immunization,” said Evans.
“The world has enough food to feed everyone one-and-a-half-times over. It’s really about: How does everyone access that food?” That lack of food can impact not only individual lives and communities, but entire nations, said Evans, citing a link between malnutrition and stunted brain development, which affects children’s abilities to learn in school.
“What we need to see, I believe, is the sort of aid that focuses on health and education that allows people to lift themselves out of poverty, coupled with access to markets and trade,” said Evans.
“I was born in 1983. So in my lifetime, extreme poverty was halved. In the rest of my life, I think we could end it altogether.”

i\'m at the house up north. its raining outside (with the sun still out) can\'t think straight at all when its weather like this. have linament on my back again. akj was here when i got here, he says its not my back, its the weather. sure enough, rain. can\'t predict the weather lately. we are hiring at my office. dreading training new people. it didn\'t bother me until i became a supervisor, now i feel like its one thing too many. listen to me. lol.
tm\'s car is down, he says it will cost him $800 to re-build the motor. he\'s flipping and weirding over it. he\'s a former race car driver with a zillion injuries and he talks about his car as though its alive. lol. you can hear his girlfriend who is 20 years younger than him giggling right next to the phone, tm is 50 or 51 and its like, you know, its time to grow up. i can practically HEAR jf on this subject and i used to say he was picking on tm and now i agree with him. he is scared of DYING now that he turned 50 as his parents died in their 50\'s, but he still hasn\'t gone on blood pressure meds even though he has high blood pressure. hmmmm, maybe they disregard what is wrong and THAT is why they die in their 50\'s. \"you can lead a horse to water but you can\'t make him drink.\" everyone has told him to go on meds for over a year. still not.
talked to one of my friends up north. she says a psychic we went to 30 years ago predicted where her daughter is going to college AND the name of the daughter. wow! she claims she forgot about it until she found an old journal from 1982. maybe. or, its in her brain already from back then, self-fulfilling....not sure on that one.
It drives me crazy when I hear of someone not following simple doctor\'s orders. Take this pill, it will help you live longer. I mean, I understand trying something and having side effects derail you, but to not try anything at all?? That\'s just needlessly putting your life at risk! My BF1 can be like that. The doctor told her not to lift the oxygen tanks where she works or she\'ll hurt her back AGAIN. What does she do? She keeps lifting the tanks! \"It\'s got to get done and the people who are supposed to do it aren\'t around, so I do it.\" Tough! It\'s not her job, she\'s been told not to do it, she\'s hurt her back more than once doing it, so just don\'t do it! Oy vey! Anyway....catching up *HUGS*
