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!

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...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
