lately i've been listening more and more to classical music.
went to several concerts, opera and a ballet..
just wondering if anyone else loves classical music or maybe modern incarnations like styles of vanessa mae, maxim mrvica, bond, amici and alike.
nvrgnbk,
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emerson, Lake & Palmer tragic from way back.....the movie of this was great too!
By the way, thanks to all of you talking about youtube, I had a look last night and found soooooo much of interest. A wonderful way to waste an evening!
Now in the doghouse for staying on the computer watching videos (you're too old for that!)

i've been trashed and bullied by one poster for posting info off the internet that i was offering to someone in need of hope.
i began a thread on the subject of whether it is right or wrong to offer hope to someone in desperate circumstances in order that the poster could see that theirs wasn't the only opinion of any value.
while most who responded were in agreement with the validity of being encouraging and offering hopeful info that can be looked into or not, it's the viewer's choice, that poster has continued his bullying, stating that i'm mentally, literally incompetent, basically stupid and irresponsible, though i'm so incompetent that i shouldn't be actually held accountable for my well-meant ignorance.
Hi Frannie,
I see that this person decided to PM their abuse to you rather than having the guts to "put up" in public. A typical bully - very good at dealing it out, very bad at taking it.
Best to recognise them as a lower life form and then ignore them - which they don't like 'cause they get their jollies from obtaining a reaction.
Keep caring,

is it wrong to give people hope when they've been diagnosed with an illness that can lead to much pain and death if not treated successfully?.
i ask this because i just got a pm from an angry poster over my posting the following link and info on an antibiotic that bbc carried the news in regard to and was being researched by camcer research uk: http://www.rense.com/general58/anti.htm.
also, i noticed that mary replied with this link to yet another site that showed a study at a university in canada had turned up another cheap, safe drug that kills cancer cells: http://www.wanderings.net/notebook/main/cheapsafedrugkillsmostcancers.
Frannie,
Some years ago a family member became sick. Their eyesight went blurry, they suffered strange pains and a chronic condition deteriorated. After a long track past many specialists who were only interested in looking at a pair of eyes, a stomach or lungs, someone suggested that they contact a "holostic" doctor - a general practitioner - who was interested in the person as a whole person, rather than a particular organ. The result? He diagnosed and proved exposure to solvents & heavy metals and treated such with a reasonable degree of success. Something that none of the specialists could do. Mind you, the family member was soundly criticised by all & sundry for seeing a "witch-doctor".
What I am getting to is the person who gave the advice to see a so-called "alternative" medico probably saved my relative's life. Advice is good, but it is up to the individual to decide what is right for them and if they want to persue it.
Take care, and keep caring,

A rather wide range from Alberto Ginestera's first piano concerto and Aaron Copleland's works (via the 70's group Emerson, Lake and Palmer) through Richard Strauss (Also Sprach Zarathustra, Don Quixote etc) through to Beethoven & Bach. Not sure where it fits, but I also enjoy the work of Larry Fast (as Synergy) and his works for synthesiser.

today was parent day at jun's preschool.. and they do the pledge of allegiance.. it was funny because i was stumbling through it trying to remember it.. in all honesty, it wasn't a moment where i thought oh yay!
it was more like, eh, whatever, it's a flag.. .
it was interesting.. .
Regarding whether other countries have this practice, I have distinct memories of having to recite to following (or something like it) while I was in primary school (years 1-6) in the 1960's.
It went "I honour my Queen, I serve my country, I salute my flag" or something similar. I don't know if it is still practiced here or when it stopped.

so i went to see my mom, and she was doing a lot better.
she was a lot more clear headed.
she was for the most part very much back in reality although she still thinks she was held down under a streetlight and beat by three black men just because she was standing there.
You don't like it?Now will you change that Avatar?
After reading your other thread I understand why you would keep this one, at least for a while.
I think you've been given some good advice re the ID theft.....take care

Decki,
The good comes with the bad...... So glad to hear that she has settled down - it seems that she drifts in and out of lucidity - which is what my mother-in-law does.
Try to take some time for yourself & smell the roses
