  Have you ever been falsely accused or blamed?

  read this on the internet today:.

  "within jungian psychology there is a concept known as the shadow.

  most of us encounter our own shadows in the form of projection.

  Fernando, What you have written is the truth! I have seen it happen several times. Here is a personal example:

  Even though I have dated a Black Lady, then dated a Mulatto Lady who had Mulatto Children, have been intimate with people of many different skin tones, have donated to the NAACP and other Orgs, have been sponsoring children through Children International for 10 years-(None of whom were/are White), live in a neighborhood that is only 7% White, have advocated and sent letters approving of Herman Cain as President, been in business with a Black Lady and a Lady from Mexico, have signed several petitions against racial injustices, etc. I have still been accused by a few people of being racist (IN NO WAY am I mentioning any people in particular on this or any other website). When I have looked back, I have noticed that many of those same people who have done the accusing are having issues in their own lives, so they project their own insecurities onto others, hoping that all eyes will be taken off of them.

  So, in answer to your question, Yes, I have seen it happen, not only to myself, but others. It really sucks to get blamed for something you are not or have not done. I used to let it bother me, but since realizing that the problem often lies with the accusers, I try to take it with a grain of salt, and find myself pitying them instead. Besides that, the people who really know me, know that the accusations are not true anyways, so it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

  greetings, technologically-advanced members:.

  would you kindly identify and explain the use of today's electronic devices whose true names and separate/identical/overlapping functions i have difficulty understanding: smart phones, i-pods, androids (?

  I'm 47, and I feel like I am ancient when it comes to those new fangled devices. I'm happy with my laptop, and don't even want to bother with the smart phones, IPods, etc. I've had my Razr phone for about 5 years now, and will probably have it until it croaks. I only use it for calls, and never have bothered with the camera or video. The video only films for 5 seconds, so it is practically worthless anyways.

  To all the young whippersnappers-Get off my lawn!!!

  Solar Eclipse Tomorrow, May 20, 2012

  for anyone interested, tomorrow there will be an annular eclipse of the sun, which will be seen from china and japan to the middle of the united states.. below is a link to a site that shows an animated map of how the eclipse will appear in your neck of the woods.

  just click on your state or country and go from there.. if you want any more info on this eclipse, you can do a google search.. here in the dfw area, the sun will be eclipsed about 90%, which should still provide a decent show.

  those living on the east coast of the usa will not be able to see it though, due to the fact that the sun will already have set in that area..

  Awesome pictures, Leo. Yes, the shadows and light from the Sun was neat and unusual! I wish that we had more opportunuties to see these types of things, then again, they wouldn't be as special and significant if we had them more often.

  Personal Attacks

  by Band on the Run in

  recently, i showed a great deal of vulnerability by posting that severe pain had popped out again and my morphine pump needs some tinkering.

  it seems i am attacked with some frequency for posting here but other frequent posters are not.

  rather than discuss the merits of a subject, some people engage in personal attack.

  Snoozy, those words are so true!

  BOTR, I'm sorry you are having your unfair share of personal attacks. It really sucks, and to have to deal with them when you are in pain, makes it even harder to deal with. I hope that Snoozy's words will help you understand that it is not always our problem, but is usually the problem of the ones who are being mean and unreasonable.

  I hope that your pain becomes more tolerable soon.

  Take care of yourself!

  Violia, I also hope that you feel better soon!

  I'm glad that some of you got to enjoy it too! I used a pair of binoculars as a projector to shine on a wall (I did NOT look at the sun directly through them), and it worked out pretty well and got to see the crescent in different positions. The only hard thing was trying to keep the binoculars still enough for an extended period.

  Remember, for all those on the east coast of the USA and Southern Europe, you will get to see an Eclipse on 11/3/13!

  Thanks for the good thoughts! Yep, the Sun will be close to setting and low on the horizon, but we should be able to get a fairly decent glimpse of it.

  Yes Glander, she had a beautiful singing voice, and she was very easy on the eyes!

  She did a Christmas album in the mid 90's, and did a song called "Breath of Heaven" in which she did an awesome job singing.

  She starts singing at about the 1:30 mark...
