    We never ate eggplant when I was growing up. My father had arthritis really bad. I don’t know if my mother knew the health impact or she just didn’t like eggplant. My first professional job was at a savings and loan and the accountants like to go out for lunch. We did Italian one day and I ordered the eggplant parmiagian. I’m like: “This t…[Read more]

    YAY!  If I can’t eat it, at least I can read about how others enjoy it!  🙂

    I am not a coward.   But I found myself developing some very negative traits. Unworking, uncaring, sloppy….  no.  I can’t let someone corrupt me to that extrent.

    I left Gordon, took the twenty steps to Jeffrey and he, point blank, asked; […]

    • That is my view. Why care? If you can’t change it, walk away. If you can, do it.

    • An angry man is a mad man any day. One should be able to control is anger. The strongest man is he who is able to control is anger however the weakest man on earth is he who cannot control is anger. The reason the world is in the state it is today (war everywhere) is because some people were unable to control their anger at some point in life of this world. That is my humble submission.

    • Anger is the fume of depressed soul and its expression appears on human mind in shape of anger in practical field. Anger is a natural human emotion, and it’s not always negative. It can help you know when you’ve been hurt or when a situation needs to change. It’s important to learn how to process and react to your anger.

      Frequent feelings of anger have been linked to higher risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, depression and difficulty sleeping. This is especially possible if you experience highly explosive anger or your anger is extremely repressed. Fortunately, you can learn to understand, process, and release your anger in healthy ways.

      When you’re feeling angry, doing some moderate exercise could help you. A study by the University of Georgia suggests that moderate exercise (such as running or riding a bike) during or immediately after an upsetting experience can help you manage the experience of anger.

      When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are natural “feel-good” chemicals that make you feel more positive and happy. If you’re unable to run or ride a bike, consider walking, stretching, and other easier forms of exercise.

    I once had a Boss From Hell.  And what happened is that I stopped caring about everything.   So did everyone.   I recall when the office was not unlocked on time, I went across the road and hung out.  It was a lovely social encounter.  No one cared.  Everyone eventually left… only the whack job secretary remained.

    • I watch TV online only when I can not find the programs on regular television. To be honest, I don’t really like it because of the annoying and interrupting glitches. Would much rather just watch TV. But sometimes what I want to watch is not on TV. Thank the Lord for the Internet! 🙂

      • When you don’t live in the US or Britian you get catch as catch can TV. They will run House, for example, maybe part of the first season, then a year later, part of the third… nothing in order.

        And now they bleep out everything… hell, damn… nothing you can’t hear… and it’s better to watch on line where there are no bleeps or commercials.

    • Those think inferior are those who are jealous and have evil past due to which they think that other are inferior and they are superior such persons fall prey to inferiority complex in real life. But the main cause becomes jealous and greed.

      Actually inferiority complex an unrealistic feeling of general inadequacy caused by actual or supposed inferiority in one sphere, sometimes marked by aggressive behaviour in compensation.

      Most of us compare ourselves to others. Mass media beams in the finest looking, richest, and most talented people into our lives 24/7. This creates the illusion that we ‘know’ all these beautiful, clever, younger, athletic, rich, able people. Because we compare ourselves to people we know, this illusion of knowing air-brushed ‘have-it-alls’ can make us feel correspondingly worse about ourselves.

      An inferiority complex is a general feeling of not being ‘up to the mark’. Now, I want to distinguish between knowing and feeling. I know I am inferior to Bill Gates financially, to Stephen Hawking intellectually, to millions of men aesthetically; but this knowledge doesn’t bother me one iota. Knowing you’re inferior in some ways is very different from feeling inferior.

      Knowledge that you might sometimes compare unfavourably to others may just be insight and perception. It’s crazy to try to pretend that we are all as good as each other in all ways.

      • I would not use the term ‘inferior’ because I don’t think that is correct. I can not fix the pipes as can the plumber, I can plant like the farmer, I can play cricket like the professional but I do not call myself inferior.

    • I know exactly what you are saying.Very often if people think I am American they treat me with much more respect. The idea that a non American can excel is difficult for them to grasp.

    • The attitude of inferiority is why so many Jamaicans resort to scamming… if the tourist thinks one is not at intelligent, they don’t protect themselves and the ‘inferior’ rips them off.

    For many people, they couldn’t care less about the work place.  They go there to get $$ and aren’t the least interested in anything.  So nothing is going to bother you.  It is only when you care.
