Good luck with your job. Rise above the shallow people. They are but stepping stones on your journey. Have you tried earning through writing? There are numerous places you can try writing for online.

Have you seen some of the writing out there? The bar has been lowered so far down it’s like a doorstep now. You wont know until you try. Dont think about it, just write and submit. Even if you do get some rejections, and you may in the early stages, once you start you are only developing and growing your ‘writing muscle’ and experience. Plus, you have all of us ‘thoughtsters’ here who have your back! 🙂

Ouch…

Hi Becky, and welcome back again.

We love a good read, so write away!

Looking forward to reading whatever you care to share. Writing is a drug, better than Facebook and social media and remember, every word you write and post makes you a Published Author!! Congratulations – you are now a Writer! Add that to your resume. 🙂

Just be careful. With the way social media can be, saying the wrong things about work, whether regarding employees or customers, can get one fired.

👍

Hi! Looking forward to reading your work.

Harsh. Wow, sounds hard to deal with … I haven’t seen meth take someone, but I have seen heroin take someone away .. My sympathies.

i think its basically the same, drugs are terrible and they tear your life apart. thanks for reading my post!

Drugs relieve the pain that someone is feeling …. so I wonder if it is the drugs or the pain that one feels that drives them to the drug that we should be concerned with?

I’ve abused alcohol in my youth, but I was never lost; so, I may not be able to completely understand. But, my daughter has been there and in some ways it would have been easier if I had the problem, maybe. Who knows. Good luck on your journey. Do you have a passion in your life?

Ok….so I was wrong. You can not watch it on Youtube…(I think) My sister told me she watched them on Amazon Prime and rented them. I don’t know when I will get to watching the series….but I will. I just finished “Expedition Bigfoot” on Discovery +. And unless anyone else here is somewhat a believer I am not going to share my findings 🧐

Boy oh boy was I WRONG! This is the wrong movie. The correct movie is called “Backwell Ghost” and there are 5 episodes. We watched the first one and I was sooooo disappointed. VERY VERY disappointed. Granted I always make efforts to debunk everything so I debunked scenes as I watched the movie. MAYBE if I went in not thinking about that I might have been scared. 👎
My little sister asked us to just watch one more before we give up on this….so we said we will watch it tomorrow.

Are you sure you’re sure this time?

There are lots of these type movies and series around. It is funny how I react with fear one time, and the next time something just as scary seeming on the surface doesn’t even made me gasp once. I don’t usually chose to watch things that are supposed be scary thought, most of the time.

Just got mine.

Fingers crossed I feel fine at the moment.

👏AGREE 👏AGREE 👏AGREE. I have more to say on this and will tomorrow or later. I seem to have to oddest sleeping schedule.

I love, love, love shows like this.
So interesting! I would buy up a Chateau like this in a heartbeat if I could. Reminds me of some of the pictures my dad’s godmother in Switzerland used to send.

I also love watching Fixer Upper, Joanna and Chip. Tiny Houses. They truly amaze me!

This is quite a lengthy documentary series which first began airing in June 2016.
It has 7 seasons, and 32 episodes in all.
So there’s much to see if you want to watch the entire series.

There are several DIY shows which come and go in the UK and one of the stand-out programs is called “Grand Designs” – a program which follows the construction of a house from foundations to the roof. It may sound ordinary but it really isn’t.

Are you serious?
I can’t wait for them to release more Chateau seasons.
We also have MANY shows like this. But I was drawn to the Chateau because of the amazing castle like home….and the beautiful couple doing it all.

Someone remodeled the big house (Chateau) which is not my thing at all. I prefer getting an apartment as is, and not having to worry about it. Oh maybe pick out a picture or two. LOL This somehow brings to mind an interview I saw part of earlier today of Fran Lebowitz who emphasised that she is lazy. She got one bad job after another when she first moved to New York at 18, and finally just realized she didnt’ wanna work, period.

That’s sort of me.

There’s much one can read into this film – allegory or metaphor, but I wouldn’t consider it a horror film. 11 people all sat around a table feasting on what will become their last supper. The biblical last supper was attended by Jesus and his 12 disciples. Biblical connotations?

The diners’ appear to be eating several endangered species with gusto, and have no moral compunction over the terrible consequences such attitudes will ultimately cause. So Mankind sinks under the weight of his own sins – this being gluttony, and again, another biblical reference is exposed. In a visual metaphor we see the diners’ and their table drop to the lower floor. . .are there no limits that mankind will sink to for momentary satisfaction?

Maybe they are in purgatory forced to repeat their past sins before ascending to heaven?

The script writer definitely had something in mind when this was written, and even to the casual viewer it is clear that there is so much more going on here then what is seen on the surface. It’s the insatiable appetite – primarily – the need to use up all the Earth’s resources rather than protect them. Mankind is descending rather than ascending as He should be.

There is more, but I could go on forever.

I think you hit all areas that we discussed over this. Well….the thoughts the people in the group brought up to her and she shared with me. And I just realized DoDo bird me didn’t post my view. I thought for sure Gluttony ….that was the only thing I saw. But she brought up all the ideas she was discussing with other people….which was along the lines of what you wrote. Your very observant Jules.
I also felt….this short film was not “Horror” unless of course you are a devout religious being 🙃 It is labeled Horror which is why I didnt watch it right away. So again….agree with Jules on this.
But I also felt it was a nicely made short film.

I started watching a show which distracted me from posting my view here last night. I can’t stand getting caught up in a series. 😁

Ok, I am going to respond without reading what you said so that you can get the closest thing to a “fresh” viewpoint as possible.

First, I was wondering what the heck was going on. These intense people were really dedicated to eating whatever that was. Then the food stuff bothered me. It looked like they were eating baby chickens or something..I mean in the egg chickens, unhatched chickens, except they were fairly big so what were they really?!!

Then as time went on, my attention went from “what the heck are they eating” to when is the next floor going to give way, and why didn’t these crazy people just start out on the ground floor in the first place.

I think it ended up being more perplexing and sort of funny rather than “horror.”

All this for one moment of national insanity.

And a warm blanket. Bless each and every one of them. I heard yesterday that at least 20,000 National Guard members are expected to be in Washington D.C. for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, which is roughly four times more than the amount of troops currently in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

Are these the National Guard gathered in the Capitol to keep our Congresspersons safe? If so, give ’em a blanket and pillow for me. 🙂
