see more Lolcats and funny pictures Personality is part of one’s psychological make up. Changing it is an impossibility. Our personalities are formed in totality by the time we’re 7 years old.

“Character” is developed by nurturance. It’s a lifetime process and it is not by any means a given. Moreover, building character is self work. In other words, it’s an inside job, a DYI. Building character is not gained by thinking about it or by willing it to occur and it’s always an unfinished job. Developing character is a moment by moment, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, and year by year process. The time element on character building is always in the here and now.

I’ve met my fair share of shady characters and I’ve had all the fun that I can stand being around them. I simply have no tolerance for any of them. I don’t care whether they’re male or female, what color they are, or what belief system they have. They’re not worth my time or energy. Give me someone who is honestly trying to better themselves and they want to do it for him or herself then that is a whole different matter altogether.  Together, we can build a relationship. However, never tell anyone everything you know or place all of your eggs in one basket.

“The United States Declaration of Independence is an act of the Second Continental Congress, adopted on July 4, 1776, which declared that the Thirteen Colonies in North America were “Free and Independent States” and that “all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved.” The document, formally entitled The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, explained the justifications for separation from the British crown, and was an expansion of Richard Henry Lee’s Resolution (passed by Congress on July 2), which first proclaimed independence. An engrossed copy of the Declaration was signed by most of the delegates on August 2 and is now encased in argon and on display in the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C.”

“The Declaration is considered to be the founding document of the United States of America, where July 4 is celebrated as Independence Day and the nation’s birthday. At the time the Declaration was issued, the American colonies were “united” in declaring their independence from Great Britain. John Hancock, as the elected President of Congress, was the only person to sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. It was not until the following month on August 2nd that the remaining 55 other delegates began to sign the document.”

Racist and homophobic anti-semites protested at Capitol Hill, and like most protesters they yelled and carried on with unresolved anger issues. Out of  the few interviewed, not one of them knew what is on the health bill. The one thing the interviewees were able to agree upon is that poor people should have basic health care; however, don’t ask me how the thousands of anti-war protesters fit into the scene. (I’m a bit dim at times, I admit.)

Their trusted leaders? Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Glenn Beck.

Quidam: a nameless passer-by, a solitary figure lingering on a street corner, a person rushing past. It could be anyone, anybody. Someone coming, going, living in our anonymous society. A member of the crowd, one of the silent majority. The one who cries out, sings and dreams within us all. This is the “quidam” that Cirque du Soleil is celebrating.

“Above all things, and upon all occasions, avoid speaking of yourself, if it be possible. Such is the natural pride and vanity of our hearts, that it perpetually breaks out, even in people of the best parts, in all the various modes and figures of the egotism.”

* * *

“If, therefore, you would avoid the accusation of pedantry on one hand, or the suspicion of ignorance on the other, abstain from learned ostentation. Speak the language of the company that you are in; speak it purely, and unlarded with any other. Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not pull it out and strike it; merely to show that you have one. If you are asked what o’clock it is, tell it; but do not proclaim it hourly and unasked, like the watchman.”

* both excerpts taken from Lord Chesterfield’s letters to his son.

Tomorrow, Friday November 30, 2007 one of the “Fighters” at, Exposing Online Predators and Cyberpath’s will be interviewed by phone on ‘The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet.’ The morning TV show begins at 9am Eastern Standard Time.

One segment of the show will focus on Megan Meier’s suicide. EOPC’s will expose, 48 year old Lori Drew, a neighbor, business woman, and member of the town’s Chamber of Commerce in O’Fallon, Missouri. Drew fraudulently presented herself as a male teenager and taunted Megan Meier, a 13 year old depressed teen, harshly enough for Megan to commit suicide by hanging.

Please tune in and tell your friends. Look for the show time hour in your part of the state.

Perhaps a person you thought as a friend is spreading gossip behind your back or isn’t ever around when you really need him or her. Whatever the reason, you realize that its an uhealthy relationship, and it’s time to end it and with healthy closure. So, what should you do when a friendship is over?

Bow out as gracefully as possible and then get on with life. And if your personality is an open one and anything at all like Will Rogers’ belief that he has “never met a stranger,” you’ll soon meet others who will appreciate you wholeheartedly and not take your friendship for granted.

Excellent reading!

“It’s not hard to tell when a guy is “happy to see you.” The twinkle in his eye, his swagger, that sexy smile — all are clear signs he’s in the mood. And, at least subconsciously, a woman can also tell by the scent of his sweat, according to new research. Scientists have long debated whether humans, like animals, use chemical signals called pheromones to communicate sexual interest to potential mates. Problem is, the effects of pheromones are thought to be subconscious — meaning that if we do communicate using them, we sure don’t know it. It’s also hard to know what these pheromones might be and how we sense them, so researchers understand little about them. But if human pheromones are going to be anywhere, they’re going to be in sweat, right? Denise Chen, a psychologist at Rice University in Houston, and her colleagues devised an experiment to compare how women respond to different forms of male sweat — sweat produced in everyday situations versus that produced when a man is turned on.”
