Orange Crate Art: SOME PEOPLE ARE TOXIC AVOID THEM.
via Orange Crate Art: SOME PEOPLE ARE TOXIC AVOID THEM..
the important thing that I can tell you is that there is a test to determine whether someone is toxic or nourishing in your relationship with them. Here is the test: You have spent some time with this person, either you have a drink or go for dinner or you go to a ball game. It doesn’t matter very much but at the end of that time you observe whether you are more energised or less energised. Whether you are tired or whether you are exhilarated. If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished. The test is almost infallible and I suggest that you use it for the rest of your life.

I dunno, what do YOU think?
The irony, she is delicious!
Blogs Falling in an Empty Forest
According to a 2008 survey by Technorati, which runs a search engine for blogs, only 7.4 million out of the 133 million blogs the company tracks had been updated in the past 120 days. That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled.
Luckily, since this whole thing was started without lofty aspirations – or anything beyond avoiding mumbling out loud to myself in publicy sharing my thoughts as pixels on a screen – its still – if peripatetically – here.
So I guess I got that going for me…
Indeed, he is my president.
When Sesame Street founder Joan Ganz Cooney met Obama at a fundraiser last year, she was prepared to hear what she always does. “I’d have bet you a million dollars,” she says, “that [Obama] would tell me how his kids watched Sesame Street.” But instead the President-to-be told her that he and his little sister watched the show. “I realized that this is the first President young enough to say that.”
Sesame Street, as my now frighteningly conservative parents frequently remind me, helped teach me how to read. It really resonates with me that my president – for the first time in my memory – shares some part of my life and upbringing.
