REFLECTIONS

I like the color and pattern of this large pot. The pot below looks like a bomb blew it apart! I only have myself to blame.  I didn't bring them in before the frost of winter cracked them. Maybe this white one survived because was in the carport. The turtles held up okay except for this one with a broken leg. I'll have to find a way to repair the two pots and the turtle leg.  I just can't see throwing them away!

This post is an update from an earlier post. In a comment I made on the excellent thought provoking blog RUM-PUNCH-DRUNK ( Link:  RUM-PUNCH-DRUNK )    I was explaining how I felt about depression. This video explains how clinical depression works. ~If someone has a reason for sadness like a death in the family it is not  clinical depression. ~If someone has no reason to be sad but is sad without an explanation this could be clinical depression. I hope you find this video useful.  The video is from the Mayo Clinic website. Here's the link to the Mayo Clinic website: http://www.mayoclinic.com/

I've had a lot of luck with this plant. I cut the end of a leaf (I think you call them leaves?) once to give it a shape. It worked. Another time a leaf fell off so I just stuck it into the soil and it grew into a new plant. I let the soil dry out then flood it with water. It works great!                                            I love the color and pattern of each leaf and how it grows right out of the ground. The only problem is the leaves get so long that the plant falls over. To prevent this I'm trying a metal ring near the base to hold things together. This should work.

This post is from an earlier one. I lost the photos but now I have them back! Enjoy! The other day I was thinking about modern exploration. Now I suppose the land is pretty much mapped out except if you count people hiking on trails. The ocean bottom still needs to be explored. "Space the final frontier” as the Star Trek show put it, is still open. But think about it. Now there is always contact with home base. After the invention of the radio it was relatively easy to communicate if you met with any trouble on your journey. You had access to expert advice. If needed you could call for help. Back in the days of Columbus once sailors set out to sea they were on there own. The only human contact was with their own shipmates. If they ran into rough weather there was no call for a rescue crew. If you sank no one would know for months and even then they had to just assume you were “lost at sea“. In my opinion they were much braver taking greater risks than a

The real life Krypton is a colorless gas, exhibiting a whitish glow when placed in a high voltage electric field. Here is the link that explains the facts: May 30, 1898- Krypton Discovered, Decades Before Superman Arrives                                                 Sir William Ramsay, the discoverer of krypton. Kryptonite is the fictional element that takes away Superman's super human powers.  The real element called Krypton has nothing to do with the Superman story. Krypton is an inert gaseous element occurring in trace amounts in air and used in fluorescent lights and lasers. The name is derived from the Greek word for "hidden". IN ANY CASE EVEN IF  KRYPTONITE DOES NOT EXIST IN THE " REAL " WORLD;  IT DOES EXIST IN THE MIND . If we find someone who is living in own imaginary world, we still need to respect that world.  That world may intersect with the "real" world to produce a "real" effect. This vi

Just As Well Just as well That I met you now I really don’t know What I did to deserve You Because no-one thought I was worth it The ones who did, I wasn't interested I didn't even believe In myself My heart Was already used To loneliness Who would say that next to me You would be You who came to stay You who who makes me happy You who makes me sing Like this My heart Was already retiring Without any illusion It had been mistreated Everything changed Now that you’re here You who makes me happy You who makes me sing Like this From: http://b-r-i-s-asuave.blogspot.com/

This post is from February 2012.  I deleted the original illustrations by mistake.  So here is the updated post with the images.  Earth Centered model of the universe according to Ptolemy Subconscious  ID, EGO, SUPEREGO model of the mind by Freud A few days ago my daughter Laurissa sent me an email asking about my thoughts on Sigmund Freud's psychological theories.  The astronomer Ptolemy came to mind.  I told her I believed that Freud's theories can only sometimes explain and predict how a person will behave. It may seem to make sense, the same way Ptolemy's explanation of the universe with earth as the center, seems to make sense. Even today, Ptolemy's theory accurately explains the motion of the planets. Planetariums still use gears and circles to project the image of the stars and planets using his calculations. Even though not related in any way; Ptolemy's cycles, epicycles and deferents, sound similar to Freud'
