Saturday 9: The Remedy (I Won't Worry)

Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: The Remedy (I Won't Worry)

Please Note: I am on a dial-up modem and I will not be able to answers your comments until I get home. At 56K some blogs take forever to load. It took Sam’s blog 10 minutes to load. I usually play a couple of hand of Solitaire as I wait for pages to load.

1. What's the remedy for you to stop worrying?
I wish I knew, then I’ll stop worrying. My brother says that I inherited my mother’s worrying genes

2. What is your favorite summertime beverage?
Lemonade

3. Do you use any freeware on your computer? If yes, do tell.
Yes, FTP transfer program

4. What is one thing about your home that has to be just so or it drives you crazy when it comes to organization?
The pile of clothes that I throw in the corner of the closet

5. Is there a specific subject you're especially curious about? A person? A region of the world? An animal? A field of study?
Everything, I am a true Renaissance woman. That is why I love the internet; if something peaks my interest, I look it up.

6. What do you consider your most interesting trait?
Who I am

7. What is something that really frightens you, and can you trace it back to an event in your life?
Yes, there is something that scared me back when I was young. However, it is not something that I want to talk bout in public

8. Who do you want to yell at to “get a grip!”?
There is someone that I want to tell shut up because they are always talking and it drives me nuts! You could be talking to someone else and they will come over and butt into the conversation and take it over.

9. What do you wear to particularly look great for a party or event?
I have my standard LBD.

Stopping by from the Saturday 9. I'm pretty sure that there is a worry gene, cause I've got one too. Hope you have a "worry-free" and fun weekend.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
