Denmarkguy Hi mimpi, thanks for the welcome! Yeah, when you enjoy doing what you're doing, the money that shows up is just nice to have... I'm not attached to it, though. I'd still do many of these things, even if I didn't get paid-- it's just relaxing when I don't...

There are a number of sayings (and "wisdom") in the world that suggests we learn from our experiences, and supposedly get smarter as we progress through life. This morning, I was reading a article on a web site, about...

Denmarkguy Hi Mimpi, and thanks for stopping by! I think it's often true that the answer to a situation is really "it depends." Or, as you say, "yes and no." Love is a funny thing, in the way it tends to "not make sense." I find it helpful to distinguish between...

Denmarkguy Thanks for your very thoughtful comment! As I was reading your thoughts, it occurred to me that perhaps the reason people "change more" (spouses, jobs, ideas, life philosophies) as they age is a reflection of nothing more than our knowing ourselves better,...

Denmarkguy Faith, you show a lot of wisdom (as usual!), but you also show by your words that you have a strong sense of self. Although I intended this to be about more than just marriage/divorce, I think it's also true that many of the breakups we see occur as a result...

Denmarkguy That's exactly right-- it's not just what "happens," but what we DO about it.

I just finished responding to someone's discussion about making money, and taking out a loan. It got me to wondering about something. As you all know, we get served up "content based" advertising with every time we load a page...

Denmarkguy Thanks for the thorough commentary. I don't doubt that there are people who HAVE made this kind of money, and that occasonally someone will come up with a new system that briefly can do so. When I was writing about network marketing, I was "free-lance...

The other day I was talking to a friend on the phone, and in the middle of our conversation he got another call. This conversation was taking place at around 6:30 in the evening-- and after a brief pause, he came back on to tell...

Denmarkguy I think people's expectations of how much "stuff" they need to have a good life have simply run out of control. The "ideal life" in the 50's (which included a lot more family togetherness) had much less "stuff" in it than life today does. People aspired to...

I believe it's a good thing that society has certain "protections" built in, to prevent people from just randomly saying and doing hurtful things to others. Principles like "equality" and "non-discrimination" helps us all live...

Denmarkguy Mimpi, I just worry that we reach a point where we have to "self-censor" so much that when something genuinely BAD happens to us, we will not be able to address it, because it would be "rude," because basic truth and honesty might "offend" someone, somewhere.

Denmarkguy Yes, sometimes it seems we use political correctly not just to "not offend" but to outright "hide" things by not calling them what they are. Like a war.

Denmarkguy Robin, thanks for your comment. Just to fill in a couple of blanks, my friend was talking to a couple of co-workers... and the discussion was not about work, but basic "water cooler talk" about theater. The Shakespeare quote was definitely IN "context" of...

Denmarkguy Clearly, obvious racial commentary should not be acceptable. In this case, I am more referring to "incidentals." I worry that some day I will not be able to go to the hardware store and ask for a "spade" because I need to dig a hole in my yard... because it is...

Denmarkguy Things do often go in cycles... it may even be that people will get SO fed up sith being careful that there'll be a swing back towards VERY "free" speech. Who knows?

Denmarkguy Wiz, I agree that filters are not infallible. BUT... at one time, filters were limited to detecting "the 7 words you can't say on TV." Now they include 100's and 100's of normal everyday words that have been part of POLITE conversation for centuries... but...
