The Comments I Left On Care2.com's "Aging Parent? Book Giveaway!" Article Today

Although I'm Interested In Reading This Book, I'm Not Sure If I Agree With The Authors' Interpretations Of Lao-Tzu's Original Work..... While I Find His Words Inspirational, I Find Theirs Slightly Depressing..... I'm A Strong Believer In The "Law Of Attraction" (B.K.A. "The Secret") & Have Been Using It To Help My Mother (Who Is Mentally & Physically Ill, To The Point That I'll Be Her Guardian Next Month).

She's Suffered From Mental Illnesses Her Whole Life, Though She Wasn't Diagnosed Until Her Early Twenties..... From There She Went Down Hill & Her Health Quickly Followed Suit! She's Now Nearing Sixty & Considering The Fact That Doctors Haven't "Fixed" Her Yet, I Decided: I Will!!!!!

Since I've Started Teaching Her "The Secret" She's Begun To Slowly Make Progress & I Believe She's Finally On Her Way To Being Truly Healthy (Both Mentally & Physically)!!!!! Up Until Now, Her Biggest Problem Has Been That She's Spent So Many Years Listening To & Believing All The Negative Comments/Diagnosis Of Doctors/Family & Friends, That It's Been Virtually Impossible For Her To Believe In Herself.....

I Know For A Fact That If I Just "Accepted" Her The Way She Has Been, She Would Have Just Continued To Deteriorate..... But Now For The First Time In Nearly Four Decades, My Mother Is Happily Looking Forward To The Rest Of Her Life (Instead Of Dreading It)!!!!!

What's your favorite school subject, and why's it your favorite?

Hummm..... I'm Gonna Have To Say: Urban & Cultural Anthropology Because It Gives You Unique Insight Into Other Peoples Beliefs, Cultures, Religions, & Lives!!!!!
(^_^)

What do you think was the greatest invention in your lifetime?

Honestly: I Think That While Most Of Our Technology Is Great, It's A Double-Edged Sword. While It Has Properties That Can Connect & Unite Us, It Also Has The Power To Divide & Isolate Us..... Oh, & Lets Not Forget It Enables "Others" The Ability To Monitor Us Without Us Even Realizing It!!!!!

It Seems We Have Now Become Virtual Slaves To It, & I'd Hate To See What The World Would Be Like If It All Just Crashed One Day!!!!!

P.S: Yes, I Know This Doesn't EXACTLY Answer The Question, But It's The Only Answer That Feels Right For Me!!!!! (^_^)

Would you rather swim in a pool or the ocean?

I'd Have To Go With The Ocean!!!!! Pools Are Ok, But The Ocean Allows You To Have A Closer Connection To The Earth NOT Chlorine!!!!! (^_^)

Ask Me Anything!!!!! (^_^)

Who and when was your first kiss?

Honestly I Think It Was A Boy Named Brandon, When I Was In Pre-School..... But Since I Had Four Other Boyfriends There It's Kinda Hard To Remember..... LOL (^o^)

Sad, But True..... *SMH* (-_-)

Ask Me Anything!!!!! (^_^)

Cats or Dogs?

Cats, Definitely Cats!!!!! (^_^)

Ask Me Anything!!!!! (^_^)

Have you broken any bones? If so, how?

Just My Tailbone..... Which By The Way: You Can't Get A Cast For!!!!! (*O*)

Ask Me Anything!!!!! (^_^)
