| Hi Screen Name, how are you? LOL...I was bothered when Mr Rogers used to take off his shoes; I sensed the smell of the room. Seriously, Mr Rogers was all right--but I was more influenced by the World of Make-Believe. I especially liked the spinning museum with that old lady who ran it (who I later f... |

| In Cyberdad's conception, I believe an "empty mind" is the result purging, a "cleaning up," if I'm interpreting correctly. That makes sense. Then there is Rousseau's conception of "emptiness of mind" at birth, a fully Nurture-type concept. In a pure sense, according to how I would interpret Rousseau... |

| I was MORE nervous around people when I was younger. I did not have the coping skills I do now. I have learned to be able to tell if someone is tired of what I'm saying. Before, I didn't know what the heck to do in social situations, so I made mistakes, and became nervous afterwards. Now, with the k... |

| There was a commercial in the 80s and 90s for Nestea which depicted a person dropping head first into a swimming pool. He had taken the "Nestea Plunge." It's a metaphor, basically, for "just winging it," trying new things, "plunging" into the unknown. , for ad-libbing it. Equivalent, also, is plungi... |

| I could understand your discontent and your hurt. It's terrible that your parents have that attitude. What are you studying in college? I think the best thing to do is to just try to prove your parents wrong, and achieve success in life. I bet you can do it. :D If you dwell on the past. the past wil... |

I used to be scared of the night sky: the moon, the stars, the planets. I used to have nightmares about planets. I could not define the fear.
I also used to be scared of "institutional green," since it denoted a doctor's office. |

| You always take chances with eBay. If I want something that's intricate and fraught with potential problems, I'd go to an actual store. I could understand it if you got a good deal--there are many good deals on eBay. But there is more of a risk, since you didn't actually SEE the product. |
