I meet individuals all the times that have the realization that things in their life could be better. They have the realization that it is within their power to make things better for themselves. They have the realization that mind set has a lot to do with how things are going to turn out.<br />MH_Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422123279959447507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568091996048915629.post-7578211058318482362021-01-06T01:37:19.446-07:002021-01-06T01:37:19.446-07:00https://rudraksharatna-allfestivals.blogspot.com/2...<a href="https://rudraksharatna-allfestivals.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-to-do-laxmi-puja.html" rel="nofollow">https://rudraksharatna-allfestivals.blogspot.com/2020/11/how-to-do-laxmi-puja.html</a>Rudraksha Ratnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865941368073584318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568091996048915629.post-84995503716815021042019-10-30T11:07:07.027-06:002019-10-30T11:07:07.027-06:00I wrote the above because the school board review ...I wrote the above because the school board review said there was no time to train: "With regard to training, there is insufficient time for teachers to learn how to deal with bullying."<br /><br /><br />There is a Bob Dylan line that ends "...pretending he just doesn't see?"

My mom was bullied a lot in school as was I. After many attempts with school admin and meetings with the parents of said bullies to try to stop the bullying - bullies weren't deterred by punitive measures; she advised me to try my best to get up the courage to clobber the hell out of them. It worked for her when she finally punched her bully in the face and same for me. I got up the nerve to deck one guy in the privates with a hefty kick of my new leather shoes. A second I was now bigger than he having started puberty first and after a really bad day with him I body checked him into the brick wall at school and he got a lump on his head and a black eye for his troubles. Neither bothered me again.SuzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949191260647654964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568091996048915629.post-23751844197345025302019-08-15T11:46:35.328-06:002019-08-15T11:46:35.328-06:00That's a great essay, thanks for sharing!That's a great essay, thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568091996048915629.post-175896673371345142019-08-06T12:23:02.054-06:002019-08-06T12:23:02.054-06:00Thank you Silken, I can go all day on a nice compl...Thank you Silken, I can go all day on a nice compliment.<br /><br /> it took a while to answer because: <br /><br />I cannot comment on my own site, not even after allowing pop up ads and third party tracking. <br />There's a lesson here folks: go with WordPress, not Google's blogger (BlogSpot)<br />...I am writing this at the library.

I think that since then fashions have yo-yoed to and from that decade.<br /><br />As for male swim suits, and gut feeling forcing men to wear a swatch of cold seaweed, perhaps the compromise, to avoid (non-speedo) jockey style, is to move to what girls call the French boy style, where there is snug fabric, not cold, on the hips.<br /><br />I can remember when we moved from 1950's bikes to a silly fashion for small wheel bikes called mustangs (like in the movie E.T.) a fashion that could not be ended, not with any dignity, until folks moved to European 10-speeds.Sean Crawfordhttp://essaysbysean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568091996048915629.post-46900763736977280282018-11-03T08:06:25.552-06:002018-11-03T08:06:25.552-06:00Fashion trends have been changing at a faster rate...Fashion trends have been changing at a faster rate than they used to in the past few decades.
