____ Degrees of Separation
It's a bit like 6 degrees of separation.
First I'll name a person.
The next player will name a person, place, thing, event, etc. that he/she connects to that person.
The third player may list a person, place, thing, etc. that connects to the second word.
... and so on.
Let's see where this takes us.
I'll kick off the game.

Is the Sky Falling?
I'm providing this information in the hopes that it gives a different perspective regarding the economy. The current economic situation has created a lot of stress, and I've received the following communication from someone who refers to herself as a "light-worker":
"Dearest Hearts,These are still plenty of
resources in the world for all to share.
Resist focusing on scarcity.
The law of Attraction is Alive and Well and
what you focus on...you are still going to get."
It continues...
"Please ask your readers to get grounded
and do not get into fear mode.
If the Lightworkers of the world get into
panic mode then we Will face an extreme crisis.
You have the power to lift not only your own
energy but the energy of others. A lot is
riding on you remaining calm and positive."
Tips to help
you can "get a handle" on your emotions.
1.Do not stay Glued to the media broadcasts-
they thrive on chaos.
2.Look around you- the fact that your TV/radio/phone
still works is a sign that things are not as
bad as they seem.
3.What do you have to be grateful for?
4.Focus on your blessings.
got food in the pantry?
Got a car to ride in?
Hey, the movies are still playing and the
football games are still packed.
5.Tap in all the positive memories you
can conjure up.
6.When others start to moan about the
economy, do not join in. What you speak, you
create.
Helpful statements could be,
"I am trusting in the universe to right itself."
Or, "Right now, I choose to focus on the good
in my life".
7.Seek to comfort yourself first and your
calmness will shine out to others.
8.Keep your intuition sharp.
Pay close attention to your spiritual guidance.
Only take financial advice from those you trust.
(I trust Suze Orman and Oprah)
9.Please don't forward any of those
Doom and Gloom emails, this adds to the
fear which adds to the problem.
In short, don't hide your head in the sand
but don't get overwhelmed either.
Follow what your truth is.
I asked about why this is happening.
She said, "These changes are occurring as a
matter of course. The world has gotten a bit
lopsided.
So much power has been held by Huge entities.
This can never work out for the long run.
Farming has been taken over by huge entities.
Banking has been taken over by huge entities.
Even Charities are huge entities.
We are moving back to an era where we are more
self sufficient. We have gotten so accustomed
to "big brother" taking care of us that we
have forgotten what we can do for ourselves.
As you believe, so you shall receive.
Ask for help from your angels and guides in
shifting if you have bought into the despair.
I love you!"

OK, so there you have it > one perspective about the economic situation.
Let me know what you think.

Hi, Everybody!
My name is Janet, and I'm a newcomer. But I hope to learn some new tips and tricks, and to be able to contribute when I can. I haven't done much baking for awhile, but the holidays are coming and certain little (and big) people are expecting treats. So, ..Let's get rollin'!!!!
LOVE THOUGHT FOR SUNDAY
One who attempts something and fails is much better off than the one who attempts to do nothing and succeeds. That is true in the area of love too. Unless you are currently with your first lover, you have experienced some hurt in your attempt to find true love.
If we protect ourselves against hurt, disappointment and heartache by never allowing ourselves to sample love, we may not experience heartbreak, but understand this, we will never experience the rapture of love either. It is worth the risk.

*One Change Only III*
Rules: Change one ( and one only ) letter of the word posted and lets see who gets stuck and can't continue ! You can't add letters. You can't use foreign languages. You can only change one letter...
Let's See How Long We Can Continue this one... Good luck!
The catch is I have started with a FIVE letter word, let's see if this works:
I will begin..

An evening of DOO-WOP
This past saturday people in Mobile, Al. broke out their leather jackets and poodle skits for a trip back through time with rock "n" roll pioneers at the Saenger in downtown Mobile.
On the program was, Charlie Thomas and the Drifters, Gene Chandler, the Crystals, Larry Chance of the Earls, and the Coasters
A fun time was had by all.

Perfect Beginnings
Are you always looking for that "perfect" way to begin your story? Do you labor over that first sentence or that first paragraph? I think we all do to some point, but how much is it holding you back? Are you afraid that you will start your story at the wrong point in time?
Remember that many times your manuscript will change as you edit and do your rewrites, so how important is it that you have that "perfect beginning" before you dive right into your story?
For those who have taken the journey from that first draft to publication, how much did that first chapter change by the time your book hit the shelf?
Also share what hooks you in those first few paragraphs AS READERS? What turns you off?
Let's talk about those "perfect beginnings." Do they really have to be ... perfect?

Spooks Run Wild (1941)
The boys are sent to a mountain camp. Stranded in a small rural town, they hear about a "monster killer" roaming the countryside. At night, they sneak out. Peewee is shot by a grave-digger, and they are forced to seek aid at an old mansion. The owner of the mansion (Lugosi), insists that the boys spend the night. After seeing PeeWee walk around the house in a trance, the boys decide that the man turned him into a zombie. They gang up on him and tie him up. The nurse at the boys camp (Dorothy Short) sets out to find the missing boys with Von Grosch (Dennis Moore), who has come to rid the town of the killer- or has he?
The East Side Kids were a group of actors who made a series of films and serials released by Monogram Pictures from 1940 through 1945. Many of them were originally part of The Dead End Kids and The Little Tough Guys', and several of them later became members of The Bowery Boys.
Does anyone else besides me remember Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, and friends. I use to love their movies no matter what they were called!

Email today....so true
My thanks to all those who have sent me emails this past year........?
I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat shit in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.
Also, I now have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
I no longer have any savings because I gave them to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the £15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.....
Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants me to split £7 million with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a customer who died intestate.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer can buy petrol without taking a man along to watch the car to prevent a serial killer won't crawl into the back seat when I'm filling up.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan .
Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my bum.
And thanks to your great advice, I can't even pick up the £5.00 I found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large seagull with diarrhoea will land on your head at 5:00pm next afternoon and the fleas from 12 mangy camels will infest your backside, causing you to grow a hairy lump. I know this will occur, because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.
By the way....a South American scientist, after a lengthy study, has discovered, that people with low IQ who have infrequent sexual activity, always read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse.
Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late
