The idea is that once you put is down it will stop swirling around in your head and causing anxiety.
That always helps for me...unless I'm doing it to try to go to sleep, adn then I make a list, and then I try to go to sleep again and start thinking surely I left something OFF the list...
I'm all for allowing polygamy if it's consenting adults. Though if not integrated with the community, I can definitely see how you'd end up with extra boys. Which would be a problem. And I'm kinda against having a lot of kids and ending up on welfare because you've got too many wives and kids. OTOH, not sure there's a way to disallow that without being unfair.
what was that book about the scientist who made intelligent dogs who walked upright and had hands?
More on head transplants. That can't be unknown now. Not sure how I feel about that.
Got a "We're married!!!!" email (I think they get special dispensation on the exclamation point thingy) from a krav friend who flew off to Thailand and got married far away from everyone who knows them and will be coming back to party with anyone that wants to. Nice and tidy marriaging, that. Attached photos of her looking supermodel beautiful on the beach, glowing with happiness, and, really, I have to hate her at this point.
Oh, thank god. I don't have to flip out and quit my job now.
I just need to document in case this crap ever happens again. That, I can do.
One article linked to in Wikipedia's entry, interviewing some of the lawmen who were involved in the raid, contradicts that notion, as apparently you still had a fair number of seriously underaged "wives" in the situation.
Ooh! Which one?
(I've been reading about this for years. The whole situation tests my concepts of what is and is not free will.)
here it is. Creepy but good:Lives of the Monster Dogs
I have that book! I enjoyed it.
It sounds like a simple thing but it really works. Write EVERYTHING down, from "buy brown belt that fits" to "start chapter 4 of new book" to "start calling mom more." For as long as the list is current your mind will buzz less with liminal reminders.
This is what I started doing this week, for work. Which is good, because it has been CRAZY. Unfortunately, in 3 days, I have 19 items and only 7.5 crossed off. But that's the crazy.
