I have been reviewing for almost a year (anniversary is 7/28) and have learned ALOT from many positive thinkers and fantastic writers/reviewers. One of whom, mongkut (Rob)  has caught my utmost attention on an area I have been deeply involved in. The subject of our children and what they are eating and drinking concerns me because of numerous stories/reviews on products that are affecting their little minds and brains ! Our government, our FDA, and a slew of physicians and manufacturers and pharmaceutical labs are PROVING they want a 'brain-dead' generation to emerge as long as the Red #40, Blue #1, Yellow #5 and #6 are consistently used in our foods and beverages. The reviewer, mongkut  , talks about the dangers of a food dye additive known as Red #40 and Yellow #5 and #6, being linked to hyperactivity and IQ deficit in infants and toddlers. I am doing some more research, keeping the Children's Health  section at my domain updated. I do believe when I have mongkut's permission, this piece should be featured there. Since receiving my baccalaureate in Child Psychology specializing in development both abnormal and normal psychological cognitive development back in 2000, I have been trying to make public some very intersting connections.

What if 'autism'  is linked specifically to these 'so-called good for you approved by FDA' food color enhancement chemicals ?

Wouldn't we warn every parent as women and men TRULY CONCERNED with our children and future childrens welfare ? I would really like to keep in touch with you as I believe we could really educate and make autism soon be 'a thing of the past' . . . What do you think ? Please see the post I made at our Epi Lounge today of mongkut's review on the dangers of snack foods containing this destructive additive really not necessary to have the consumer buy because of eye-appeal if it is linked to terrible breakdowns in toddlers developing psyche's and cognitive functions. http://www.epinions.com/msg/show_~topics/cat_id_~122/id_~451

I would like some reviewers here at Epinions feedback on what I believe could be a huge breakthrough in what challenges the superior intellectual development of the cognitive constructs of our present and future generation(s) of children. I look forward to meeting all of you interested in this avenue I am opening up to the world . . .

Hello--thought you might like to see how being excited about movie-going can be chanelled constructively in a place that appreciates great written work. It is not that it is way too long to post here, but i am encouraging the traffic to go to Epinions. This is a wonderful use of internet hyper-lnking and image allowance in which I can creatively advertise my best assets. I love to write and unless somebody sees it, it is a wasted unread effort I cannot just let collect dust. So I am offering it to you here and hope to gain some constructive criticism on the attempts of my lietarary achievements. Thank you for reading and Enjoy !

Review on The Best of Uriah Heep

A JULY MORNING

Did not go anywhere for the independence day celebration this year, stayed in-house

embracing the few neighbors that had some colorful firework supplies on hand. The

back yard show was adequate for delivering the 'aha' moments I seek when a burst

of sulpher n smoke spews colorful examples of ;yey i am still here n loving it ! the

freedom that is . . .

 

 

 

 

Thanks neighborhood for the little going a long way fireworks display . . .

 

 

"For a long time now she was guilty of allowing her emotional and psychological strength

the deliverer of controlling behavior that intimidates."

 

I watched Oprah with guest star Tyra Banks on Thursday and was very taken by the

topic. I left a physically, psychologically & emotionally abusive many years ago only

to be back with just another 'controlling behavior' type individual. Abuse is abuse !

 

But are the factors leading up to hitting, slapping, punching, breaking, even maybe killing

justified if either party KNOWS what hurts and KNOWS what has been gotten away with

before that repeating is 'no big deal' . . . Protecting the psyche means standing up to the

crap no longer tolerated, yet if that is not done with finesse, being without this person

looms in the minds of many many women who claimed they stayed for the reasons they

believed were the right reasons. Although Oprah insists, "love does not hurt" in some

instances that is correct.

 

No one deserves to be in an emergency room requiring stitches or a cast, or awaiting

a pick up from the local coroner--these are not scenarios of love good but rather love

gone vvery wrong. Oprah showed a few women with similar stories who through pain

ful recollections of the suffering and torment to both mental and emotional wellness,

managed to finally free themselves from the cycle; unless miraculously altered by the

abuser. Cycles, bad ones, are meant to be broken--these are the tests of humankind

but each of us fails miserably when we see ourselves with nothing better than we

have even if ocassionally the pain of being 'downed' is overcome with tainted charm . . .

 

Communicate any feelings of uneasiness with your partner, take the shield down and be

raw so that you may learn to protect it from further degredation. We are not all mind

readers. Many are certainly not as empathic as we should be but that is human-fault

which is NOT to be made the 'ultimate pricetag' if we fail by someone else's standards.

If we find ourselves feeling the unworthiest, dirtiest, selfish, and burdensome, is because

we aimed for those feelings to be made most aware of while with this individual.

 

"I see change can I make it manifest", she cried out to the winds . . .

 

WOW, what a lesson in relationships . . . happy independence day 2009
