Are you going to get the breathing thing checked out?

breathing & shop talk
I’m not planning to do anything about the breathing episode. I seemed to have accidentally breathed in when I was having a small amount of stomach acid reflux (ahem). It actually led to me vomiting due (I think) to that automatic regurgitation reaction that one has when something is at the back of the throat. Certainly if I have any more of this at all I will make a doctor’s appointment. But right now it feels like kind of a fluke dealy…

Sounds like sleep apnea. I have included this link to the symptoms of this from Mayo Clinic. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sleep-apnea/DS00148/DSECTION=symptoms Bret had this problem. Don’t dismiss this.

My brother has sleep apnea. I’m pretty sure this is not what’s happening to me. (Eileen comments that she has watched me for this, but that she hasn’t noticed me stopping breathing). But thanks for the heads up….. (Eileen adds that it is not to worry, she has a huge life insurance policy on me)…. : )

When I was going through Dad’s effects after Mom and he moved out of the Fenton house, I ran across a book with notes about expenses. In the Mexico trip, he had written a line: “bribe… $10.00”

The Goleman book seems very familiar to me. But I checked and it’s not available on the kindle. My guess is that I have looked at something else by him. I just reserved Vital Lies at the library. Self-deception is something that I don’t have any problems with…

I often have comments, but feel they are non essential. So… I don’t. However, I have only one comment. I do not use Wikipedia as a source, but have used it as a way to validate a name or reference to something that I could not recall, anyway something along those lines. I also, do not allow my students to use it as a reference for the research papers.

I’m fine. I just put these up because it’s hard to share them on other media like Pinterest and Facebook.

I did not vote for Santorum, but I think that he was being used by the media to establish a issue with the public. This, I think, is driven by the President which started the problem. Santorum seems to be responding as a devout Catholic. The president is losing the women’s vote nationally, and this is a way to reinvigorate that segment of his support.

still thinking about context
Thank you for the Borowitz and many other links. I Googled “Stirch”, feeling stupid for not getting it. Only your blog popped up. (Man, copyright that word!) So, I read through dozens of Borowitz one-liners and found “Sturch”. Now I get it. And I’m glad to have re-discovered Borowitz.
I read the Michael’s essay on context. Even though I’ve been reminded throughout my life how relatively little I or anyone else knows about anything, I do fall into the trap of thinking otherwise. I like the idea that there isn’t an elephant at all, heh. I wonder if this kind of thinking is too uncomfortable for most (I think so). How can you articulate the idea without sounding ridiculous in today’s political arena, especially since you’d have only 20 words or less?
Your friendThank you for the Borowitz and many other links. I Googled “Stirch” because I didn’t get it. Only your blog popped up. (Man, copyright that word!) So, I read through dozens of Borowitz one-liners and found “Sturch”. Now I get it.

Good to hear from you, Nick. And thanks for the gentle spelling correction on sturch…. There is more recently released research about not recognizing one’s own limitations and incompetence…. I’m going to put these links up today. My silly wordperfect blog template won’t let me link them here for your convenience….

Well, sturch was not THAT far of a leap in the imagination, but my brain was apparently not into leaping that evening. Anyway, thanks for the additional links. It is interesting that the more competent you are, the more likely you are to recognize how much you don’t know, as the competent scorers showed in the article. Of the many things I’ve acquired from good minds, the most useful and comforting to me is the desire to recognize my limitations. I wonder at the loss of humility in our public discourse and whether that is unique to us, a Western problem, or just a random thing that comes and goes.
My only disagreement with the Yahoo article was with the first line, that the democratic process relies on the notion that people can choose the best leadership. My feeling is that the democratic process enables people with divergent opinions to live together in peace. I found it encouraging that, for all our accumulated incompetence, we at least tend to pick better-than-average leaders, however that was defined in these studies.

Over the years I have read Ginsberg’s poetry and many books about Ginsberg-I highly recommend this book on Ginsberg, “A Blue Hand: The Tragicomic, Mind-Altering Odyssey of Allen Ginsberg, a Holy Fool, a Rebel Muse, a Dharma Bum, and His Prickly Bride in India” by Deborah Baker-peace Jonny

So… Nothing scheduled for you today, right? Relax. Rest. Don’t over-function. Please? (Yeah, I know… Telling someone to relax can increase their stress… Advice is blocking… But still, take care of yourself.) XOXOX
