That's why I get pissed off about all the negative economic reporting and then the consumer is indicted for running and hiding rather than spending, spending, spending. Oh, and thanks for Gnooz, too.Ian Lidsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-28361821963771745332009-03-02T14:25:00.000-05:002009-03-02T14:25:00.000-05:00Sounds good to me.

I also don't listen to the radio, so if there's somethin' horrible going on I'll probably be the last one to know; however, I read a lot of what goes on in the International arena. I do so, because I think it's much easier to put your issues in perspective when you understand the world around you.<BR/><BR/>Local news is boring anyhow. I can see the economy is in a downturn, I notice the people losing their jobs. <BR/><BR/>I think maybe I understand incorrectly what you mean when you say our brains work in the way that it does. Amber Alerts don't make me think kids are being snatched everyday. Nor have I ever considered the possibility that wells are out looking to swallow my child up anywhere. I know there's the distinct possibility that by being dumb, my child could get snatched or that through lack of observance my child could fall in a well if there were one in my backyard, but I don't think that seeing it on the news gives people permission to not use common sense, a trait that has evolved in us as humans.Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114220019018827843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-59610489027303902402009-03-02T11:12:00.000-05:002009-03-02T11:12:00.000-05:00I'm glad to hear you guys are having nice weather....I'm glad to hear you guys are having nice weather. <BR/><BR/>Hope your week has started off well. :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761775692714410944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-69511984753279762242009-03-02T09:47:00.000-05:002009-03-02T09:47:00.000-05:00~deb: the final touch.

I do not like one way dialogues. or powder blue suits worn by perky people. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps that is what the issue is though. Maybe it is this "this is fact" thing that makes us haywired. It's in the news, so it must be true. they must have all he sides, and this is what happened. And they are calling it a pandemic.. and they said the word *again*.. so it must be all over the place.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about you... but i have seldome heard a story third or fourth hand which had all the info. <BR/><BR/>I do keep up on things happening around the world that might affect/effect me one day. North Korea is a bit of a concern. The big bang machine scares the shit out of me. And the wavering economy is slowly creeping it's hand to my neck of the woods. <BR/><BR/>I do not watch the nightly news, but i still read the headlines in the papers. not really any better, but with less chatter and powder blue suits.Xmichrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640935280209026338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-66295219372915723262009-03-02T09:19:00.000-05:002009-03-02T09:19:00.000-05:00Interesting how blog entries sometimes seem to be ...Interesting how blog entries sometimes seem to be synchronized (being connected to all the "news" is the subject of my posting yesterday)!<BR/><BR/>If we remember that most news is just entertainment (and I regret to have to say, especially US news), then perhaps we wouldn't treat it so seriously.<BR/><BR/>But the constant rain of gloom makes my primitive brain want to go and hide out in the cave.Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04812116463035140794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-82248660292802178692009-03-02T08:42:00.001-05:002009-03-02T08:42:00.001-05:00....Or the "final touch", as one massage therapist.......Or the "final touch", as one massage therapist offered me. <BR/><BR/>Welp, I like to be in the know, however lately, especially this year it has been quite the downer.
