BIG BAD WOLF is Merry  Random is good, too. It still exists with its surprises, doesn't it! |
Always reach out to us, we're here for you    maybe I can make my Raggedy group be something to share love with people who have illnesses... You may have inspired an idea!Best wishes for healing and hope  |
| I wrote this for a counseling site and decided to share here ☺️. It gets lonely here and trying to stay connected. |
| I haven't gone to an escape room yet, my granddaughter wants us to go before school starts again. She's been with a class trip from school, she loved it. I'm glad your husband could join the trip again. |
| Depends on my mood. (Okay, where's the gif for the scene from "Shaun of the Dead" where Shaun says that the Jukebox is on random?) |
Patron Of Lost Clauses  Sad song! With a twist of anger in it. Then, who knows, life may throw a very upbeat song, your way. I certainly hope that for you. |
| I like "Snowbird" too. And all the other songs you mention, and yes, Glen Campbell... I somehow didn't recall him when writing my entry. But then, in those years, our choices, as to being lyrical, were endless. |
| my theme song would have to be Jar Of Hearts by Christina Perri |
| So wonderful that you are doing it, "Your Way," which should be the best way, anyhow. Nice entry! |
| I think SkyNet is already aware and knows it is an a**hole. |
| I use AI to develope strategy guide for games |
| I think a horn rock band I played in back in the seventies opened for Porcelain Flea Bombs once ... but the seventies were a long time, and a lot of Jack & Cokes ago. |
| I enjoy your song choices. You put some good thought and time into this. I would pick Glen Campbell's "Galveston" as one of mine because Tom was a Texan. Those are some impressive choices!  |
| Sounds hectic, but fun. The horseback riding was a hit, it seems. I'm glad you've been enjoying your time there. To me the food sounds exotic, and I'd probably eat burgers and fries along with the kiddos. Have fun, and stay safe! |
| Thank you Silvern for encouraging me. I am recovering fast. |
| That is good news that you will be releasing soon. I hope you are released now. Always be careful about any kind of health issue. Don't worry about taking rehabilitation. I also used to take this golden opportunity. Music is good therapy. I like your approach. |
| Kåre เลียม Enga - so your blog would be like the letters of yore. Yes, some bias, but if you want to know, as the people on the ground. I always ask people in a field about their lives before I include them. Tomorrow, I'm having lunch with a local prostitute to find out how they operate in the country. She knows exactly why we're going out, by the way, but, as I told her, how else am I going to find out? She likes my honesty, apparently. You might notice I did not mention religion at all in the blog post, and have received a private comment asking why The Bible was not included. Still debating how to respond... Okay, I did not realise that about US books. Most books on Australia are written by (seriously) Poms (the British). When Australians write about Australia (especially pre-1988), apart from Manning Clark, it is seen as a talking dog. Nowadays, most books about our country are written by women. But our nation is also not very old, and we were treated like crap by everyone (still are, let's be honest); it makes us insular, self-deprecating and very biased against anything not Australian! Interesting to compare books on similar topics from our nations... Thanks for reading and contributing! |
| My journal and blog are more reliable because, as anecdotal as it may be, I try to share my experiences, and I'm quite upfront with being opinionated (but not necessarily right). My experiences and insights about Costa Rica and Thailand are biased but based on the experience of living there, whilst Norway and Portugal are based on multiple visits. Same with Missoula and places I lived in Kansas, Nebraska, New York and Oklahoma. As for on-line for-profit blogs or vlogs... many are rubbish because they are selling a product. Many travel essays are AI at best and fake at worst. One thing you neglect to mention: most media, books, journals in the US have been written by educated white males. The bias is obvious to any neglected or marginal minority. To be blunt? If a writer wants to know what it's like to be a drag queen they should talk to a drag queen. Don't bother to ask most religious people about anything other than what they are taught and never ask a religious person about another group they despise. Same goes for ethnic groups and political partisans. In countries that have elites don't expect a charitable characterization of the poor. |
| There are a lot of peer reviewed journals that are available for free online. Here's an article that lists 21 places to find articles for free. https://www.scribendi.com/academy/articles/free_online_journal_and_research_data... en.html And this has 10 (including some from the last list) places to find articles. https://www.bestcolleges.com/blog/best-online-resources-academic-research/ The 2nd link includes ResearchGate, which is what I use almost exclusively. I rarely (like once or twice a semester) have to use my school's library to access articles because I find plenty of free ones (at least, on my topics) through ResearchGate and I probably need 50 or more articles each semester. Thank you for this article. I hope your talk on the subject went well. |
| I've been to Brasilito and Playa Conchal. My review of Conchal? Lovely but noisy and dangerous due to jet skies. I went there by bus but didn't stay at the resort... as you noted: very expensive. I don't ride horses but I know someone who lives in Manuel Antonio who loves riding her horse down the beach. I have had roblado (sea bass?) and had ceviche. I usually stick to gallo pinto and casado in the highlands. The resorts cater to tourists. Glad to read that you walked. I don't think I ever rode in a car in Guanacaste. |
| We had World Book encyclopedia sets when I was growing up. I actually enjoyed digging for the information I needed for some school project or other, or even just for the fun of it. |
| I sometimes find inspiration through reading other people's prayeers. |
| My dad was always talking about how some people miss heaven by 18 inches. It's easy to say you believe, but it's not always easy to walk the walk if you know what I mean. I think we all struggle with this from time to time as our flesh wars against the spirit. |
| Yes, 10-pin exists, but in bigger cities. The 5-pin bowling alleys are more common. |
