6th-Nov-2009 09:46 pm - parents childhood and their kids
I think I figured out how my mothers childhood, the emotion of shame, affected her relationship with her kids, and me, and had a long lasting effect on my adulthood (my life in a permanent sense).
What is the source of the pride or shame in saying 'I am foggy about that' in a class or learning environment.
If the others become exasperated by a clueless student's question the tangles that ensue but the clueless student is smarter and the teacher is smarter to go over the material.
Where does the strong emotion of "I HAVE to do it myself, or I don't or won't do it" come from?
Here's the intro:

When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
[and so on]
the only recorded version that includes the intro is conducted by Andre Rieu, and sung by Suzan Erens,
YouTube has it posted.

10th-Jun-2009 11:44 am - My Old Flame
My Old Flame,
I can't even think of his name,
It's funny now and then,
How my thoughts go flashing back again to my old flame.
My old flame,
My new lovers all seem so tame,
I haven't met a gent so magnificent
Or elegent as my old flame.
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways,
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes.
Some who took me up to the skies,
But their attemps at love were only imitations of
My old flame,
I can't even think of his name,
But I'll never be the same,
Until I discover what became of my old flame.
**Instrumental**
My old flame,
I can't even think of his name,
It's funny now and then,
My thoughts go flashing back again to my old flame.
My old flame,
My new lovers all seem so tame,
For I haven't met a gent
So magnificent or elegent as my old flame.
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways,
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes.
Some who took me up to the skies,
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame,
I can't even think of his name,
But I'll never be the same,
Til I discover what became of my old flame.
My old flame
I'll never be the same
Til I discover what became of my old flame.
My old flame
9th-Jun-2009 10:22 am - love for sale lyrics
When the only sound in the empty street,
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On the wayward ways of this wayward town.
That her smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.

Love for sale,
Appetizing young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,
Love that's only slightly soiled,
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price,
For a trip to paradise?
Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way,
I know every type of love
Better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I've been through the mill of love;
Old love, new love
Every love but true love
Love for sale.

Appetizing young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares.
Follow me and climb the stairs
Love for sale.
Love for sale.

Rejection is an effective sieve, even if the reason is given or not, either way you can still learn about the nature of the sieve. Not to take things at face value; Reasons given for the rejection are the surface; Real Reasons are the meat under the skin.
The lesson is to be persistent and smile at those bad things that are on the surface; look below and be pleased at the process; and know suffering brings strength.

19th-Mar-2009 09:45 am - working in medicine
Working in medicine eliminates a type of uncertainty, about your situation or what you're doing. In this way it's a satisfying occupation.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Remember "Mash", the Movie?... It did not matter _what_ they did or how obnoxious they acted. The uncertainty about the value of their work was unquestionable, so they could be that way, any way, be crazy with women, run around in underpants, it did not matter and it did not subtract from the value of their work in any way.
13th-Mar-2009 02:28 pm - authentic chinese green tea
The great thing about REAL green tea is the second cup made from the same leaves tastes great! Brew the tea until the leaves fall down in the water. NOTE: To remove sticks and stems that float, use a chopstick and fish them out.

Lung Ching is a tea making region in China, Lung Ching means "Dragon Well". There is a well there that has real Dragons living in it.

(1) Lung Ching Emerald Spring

This is the best. No stems, small leaves, great taste.
