I think, therefore I blog. 160; now @ http:/ meiravsblog.wordpress.com. Take your kids to the park, and leave them there. I must have looked like a nodding dog while I was reading this article. It makes so much sense! But hey, can you ever really know that? Is there such a thing as complete and total safety in this world? All you can really have is an illusion. That your kids are safe. For more about this stuff go to. How to Raise Safe, Self-Reliant Children. Links to this post. I'm pretty sure I'...

I think, therefore I blog. 160; now @ http:/ meiravsblog.wordpress.com. Someone is wrong on the internet. From http:/ www.xkcd.com. I came across an interesting linguistic analysis. Of the wording of this familiar cartoon - starting with whether or not the word order is wrong, then moving from there to why it's not just right but also funny, which he reckons is to do with the difference in meaning between "wrong" in "some thing. Is wrong" and "wrong" in "some one. Links to this post. Or if we go b...

I think, therefore I blog. 160; now @ http:/ meiravsblog.wordpress.com. No, we can't. Dear Mr Obama,. I'm an Israeli and, like the majority of Israelis, I have longed for peace for as long as I've lived. The idea that one day we'll be able to just live normal life without people getting killed when they're going to work or doing their shopping or sitting at a café - that is a dream we have been dreaming ever since the State of Israel came into being. Leaving aside for the moment the question of wh...

I think, therefore I blog. 160; now @ http:/ meiravsblog.wordpress.com. Ever thought of social networking sites as virtual coffee shops? What makes people happy? Very stressful. There's no 'delete' function. You can't google a salient, point-proving fact." As someone who loves the "edit" feature (and I feel so lost without it on fb), I am so so with her on this! At which point I raise my eyebrows and say: only 20 minutes? What self-discipline, what willpower :). Links to this post. Living the Chri...

I think, therefore I blog. 160; now @ http:/ meiravsblog.wordpress.com. Or: just because you got hurt, it doesn't mean they're nasty. Sometimes people hurt other people not because of any nasty intentions but simply because of the two parties having different expectations of whatever-it-is that they're getting into. No contracts, no signed agreements, no listing of the ground rules - therefore plenty of scope for misunderstandings and for disappointment. we let other people down sometimes with...

just a thought: Like-minded people? There's no such thing.
http://shablool.blogspot.com/2011/09/like-minded-people-theres-no-such-thing.html
I think, therefore I blog. 160; now @ http:/ meiravsblog.wordpress.com. There's no such thing. I've been exploring a new social networking site and getting to know new people. It's great fun. One day I stumbled upon a thread where, in the context of this SN site still being invitation-only, someone wondered if maybe it would be nicer if it stayed that way, so that he could keep interacting with like-minded people. Is there such a thing? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Theres no such thing.

I think, therefore I blog. 160; now @ http:/ meiravsblog.wordpress.com. Until Jesus pays my salary. Got into an interesting discussion on my friend Gerry's Facebook page (yes, amazing, I know. but it does sometimes happen) on the subject of Religious Education at schools here in the UK, and one of his friends said:. I think there's a fine line there somewhere. If someone pays you to do a certain job, yes, it is up to them (within reason and within the limits of what is legal) to say how they want ...

Go this year to HM Revenue and Customs (that's the tax authorities here in the UK) for their "How to fill in your Short Tax Return" guide, which had my head spinning whilst staring at one paragraph in particular. Here's what they say - clear as mud. Did you start between 6 April 2007 and 5 April 2008? If you made up your first books to a date after 5 April 2009, you cannot use this form. Once again I g...

Taken literally, I could report his comment on that basis: I really would not like to see. People suggesting that people should report others for saying things simply on the grounds that it's something they'd rather not see. But this got me thinking: what would. It be ok to report people for? But back to what I was saying before: there are things...
