Question of the Day (February 17, 2012)

By Berrit Bites
Answer here, or whatever service you're on. If I post this in a group, then I ask that you answer on my blog, or main profile wherever this is posted, not in the group.
More information on this can be found here and here.





Question of the Day:

(Let's do an ethics question to discuss and really get those minds working.)


TV 'quiz' channels which exploit vulnerable people by using virtually impossible puzzles and extortionate premium-rate telephone methods (late at night, when many viewers might be under the influence of alcohol), are effectively lotteries and should be regulated as such, which would then see their right to broadcast removed. Discuss.




Today's

featurette of the day 



will go to:

The Phoenix Wolf Rising. 


The Phoenix Wolf Rising. A place geared toward helping people survive abuse, or just go to chat about it, share their stories, help others, etc. A site which definitely needs some attention.






Tootley Tootles!

Lots of warm hugs and love, free from me to you!

    I can't answer this. I'm clueless. I don't really watch television and you lost me at TV quiz channels. What the heck is that?? Nevermind. I don't want to know...LOL...I'm happy just watching my shows on Hulu or Uverse. :D Cheers, Jenn.

    I can't give an answer today because the only TV I watch comes in the form of Criminal Minds or Q.I. I know nothing about quiz channels, and I'm as baffled by the concept as Jenn :o)

      I believe it's just in regards to stations which are made primarily to broadcast quiz shows.
      Thanks MW!

    I'm confused too. But I'm not a tv watcher anymore either. I record a couple of sitcoms to get my laugh on while I fold clothes. But that is the extent of it. ;-)

      Sounds a lot like me too. I prefer On Demand in the morning to catch up, after that, pretty much nada.

      Thanks Kenya!

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
