Buying Things

Some days I can think of many things I'd like to have. Some days I do see a strong need for some of the things I would think about having.
Although money is a big matter in the selection and acquisition. Some things I want are not even for me personally. I think of many things I'd like to see my family have. Programs I'd like to create to help people and things I'd like to build as innovative modifications.
I think at this point, I want to have a home sound system which meets the interest to invigorate my home with music. Equally so to make my back yard look like a mini park with some brick work included.
As I get this lackluster energy at times, and I know music has an effect to affect my moods and get the blood flowing.
I am thinking that I need my car completely tuned up, with new shocks and various other things, or get another car. It's such a trip, because cars in my thoughts about the work that goes into making a vehicle, maybe it should not need to be disposable items in my view.
Then there is the Bed- I can't figure out what is the best upgrade? should I look at the Sleep Number, Memory Foam or some other type of mattress.
Just stuff..... seems no matter how it goes, there is always something to that strikes the interest to buy. 
I looked at some pictures on the Internet of people in various places of the world, and their living conditions. Then I think in the over-all of conditions, I have everything I basically need and a great many conveniences, many things I have multiples of such. It was interesting because in each of the households I viewed in pictures, some are very challenged as to conveniences, and some have various styles of things.
When I look at very dire poor regions and what people do to make their home environments, some of it is very heart squeezing. I also reminds me when I worked at a different job, we went out to photo various homes which belonged to the organization I worked. It was very disenchanting to see some of the communities and conditions within those communities. It makes me feel blessed with what I have and extremely thankful that I am comfortable with up to date conveniences of many sorts. I have more clothes than I actually wear. Last week I cleaned out the closets of sweaters. I probably took out 30 sweaters and gave them to a woman who likes to distribute them to people who need things.
Its amazing how the acquisition of things result to an accumulation over time of things which remain UN-used.
After the surgery, I started to think that, Wow, I could have not made it, so now I am trying to make use of the things I have and to consider the things I want to purchase, so as to only get things which I will actually use.

How is it Possible

How is it possible we have 'Satellite" Tracking capabilities of anything we want to track, but we don't have Satellite tracking of Commercial Aircraft.
This is purely absurd, and goes to show that Executive Ignorance is and continues to cut cost to the point they won't equip these Aircraft with this function. Yet, the CEO want to take home millions, rather than make these units safe and tracked for safety and security.
The world needs to RE-THINK the concept of Executives and Executive Compensations and focus more on the business model and how it is equipped to service the public.
Ignorance dominates the spectrum when it comes to things like this. How is it, that after 9-11 that it did not come to awareness, to install a Satellite Tracking system to know where any and every commercial plane is at all times.
We did a bandied fix to appease the public with illusions, but not with true functional upgrades. Not only should the people's families who lost members in this plane should file suit against the International and National Aeronautic Organizations, but with the Airlines for this failure to track their system with 21st Century Capability and Technology. Black Boxes are AFTER THE FACT data, but what about real time monitoring. There should be no such thing as "Out of Tracking Zones".

China will pursue reforms stretching from finance to the environment
|

China sent its strongest signal yet that its days of chasing breakneck economic growth were over, promising to wage a "war" on pollution and reduce the pace of investment to a decade-low as it pursues more sustainable expansion.
In a State of the Union style address to an annual parliament meeting that began on Wednesday, Premier Li Keqiang said China aimed to expand its economy by 7.5 percent this year, the highest among the world's major powers, although he stressed that growth would not get in the way of reforms.
In carefully crafted language that suggested Beijing had thought hard about leaving the forecast unchanged from last year, Li said the world's second-largest economy will pursue reforms stretching from finance to the environment, even as it seeks to create jobs and wealth.
After 30 years of red-hot double-digit growth that has lifted millions out of poverty but also polluted the country's air and water and saddled the nation with ominous debt levels, China wants to change tack and rebalance its economy.
"Reform is the top priority for the government," Li told around 3,000 hand-picked delegates in his first parliamentary address in a cavernous meeting hall in central Beijing.
"We must have the mettle to fight on and break mental shackles to deepen reforms on all fronts."
Idle factories will be shut, private investment encouraged, government red-tape cut and work on a new environmental protection tax speeded up to create a greener economy powered by consumption rather than investment, Li said.

Worlds Oldest Person Offer Tips for a Long Life

Seeking advice on how to live a long time? You could do a lot worse than Misao Okawa. The Japanese woman will celebrate her 116th birthday on Wednesday.
Okawa (pictured above, celebrating her 115th birthday in 2013) spoke to the U.K. Telegraph about her secrets for longevity. Those hoping for an obscure secret trick ("Always jump on one foot at exactly 3:43 a.m. while playing the banjo") are in for a disappointment. Okawa attributes her incredible life span to getting plenty of sleep, eating well, and taking a nap as needed.
She told the paper, "Eat and sleep and you will live a long time. You have to learn to relax."
Easier said than done, of course, but when advice on living a long life comes from the world's oldest person, it's worth heeding. Okawa, born in 1898 and great-great-grandmother to six, eats sushi "at least once every month," Tomohito Okada, head of the retirement home where Okawa has lived for the past 18 years, told the Telegraph.
When asked by the Telegraph about her happiest and saddest moments, she spoke about her 1919 marriage to her husband and the birth of her three . Her husband passed away in 1931. Her surviving are 94 and 92, according to the Telegraph.
Okawa became the world's oldest living person last year when the previous title holder, Jiroemon Kimura, passed away at the age of 116.

Movies and Stuff.

I simply refuse to watch these movies such as, Zombies, and Walking Dead and this styling of movies.
I also don't care for those "survivor shows", nor those reality shows about "housewives of this or that"..
I've been watching the History Channel, the Military Channel and DVD for the past few months, I've even cut back on the News, because I get tired of hearing all these opinions pushed before the facts are made or laid out.
The news now is no longer the news. except for local news, they actually tell you want is happening in short clips and they shut up, without blabbing about it.
As to political I seek more reputable viewing, such as CSPAN and publications which simply address the facts. I don't need nor care about all the sideline opinions, which try to influence the facts as they are laid out. Just give the facts and let people make their own determination of interpretation.

This Winter

This winter just won't seem to go away. It has been a cycle of cold for such a long time.
It seems before I had surgery, it was cold, now months later it is still cold.
This morning it is in the 20º's range. with an expected high of 39º.
It is the worst cycle of weather, just as I have been working on getting an exercise routine. I guess I can't go through the weather change waiting on good weather to exercise. I'm going to get my own treadmill and a few other pieces so I can simply exercise at home.
I really miss California weather in these regards. As this weather here is simply "crazy", It unpredictable. I can now understand why this region is always listed at the bottom of "health ratings", and there is wide spread obesity which is beyond any reasonable levels.
My motorcycle just sits in the garage, after having this thing for more than 7 yrs, and what appears as wasted money, and now 7 years later it has lost half the value I paid for it, Yet it has less than 4k miles on it. Maybe its simply time to get rid of it and trade it in on a used Porsche or something or maybe just sell it and use the money to buy an older Porsche or something.
I never would have imagined the South has this cycle of odd weather. Among some other things that I don't like so much about here.
One is I don't care much for girl watching, since the area is so full of bigger body women. It just does not have a large volume of small frame women.
Jobs don't want to pay any reasonable levels of income and various thing which is almost like this area is 30-40 years behind the rest of the world.
I do however like that the traffic is not a issue and certain it not a problem as it relates to traffic, but again, this State has some of the worst maintained roads probably of most any state in the nation.

Women Initiate Divorce More than Men Do
|

Quotes:
"The majority of midlife divorces are initiated by women. Don't believe it? In the AARP survey, 66 percent of women reported that they asked for the divorce, compared with 41 percent of men. And men more often than women were caught off-guard by their divorce.."
" women file for divorce and are often the instigators of separation..."
From childhood little girls dream of some day having a man kneel down on one knee and ask them for their hand in marriage while offering a beautiful diamond ring.
They want to walk down the aisle dressed in a magnificently stunning white dress while everyone's eyes are glued on them. For just one day in their lives they want to be a "princess"
________________________________________________________________
Far too often after that,the hell fight begins, efforts go into pursuing and trying to make the marriage fit some fairy tale she has dreamed, which did not include input from the man, it only included her view of him submitting to the role she outlined for him in her fantasy pursuit.
They forget, that the relationship is about "two people", and they over look the fact that marriage is not a 24/7 event solely directed unto arousing her erotic fantasies and romantic role play. It is about two people living, working and sharing in the challenges of life, and sharing in the enjoyments of the triumphs within living.
These things simply escape the concepts of her fantasy dreams.
They are quick to say, "The Love is Gone", when everything is not directed into stimulating and arousing her erotically imagined concepts of self flattering aims. Then when the works of living come into the spectrum, along with it comes the antagonism and anguish from trying to mold and re-shape the man into her idealized fantasy aims.
This often times is followed by the incessant consumption with thinking she is missing out on something in the voids of the world.
A great deal of effort is put into measuring the man against media depiction, what other women have and what other men do, and pushing antagonisms if he is not pursuing a title, status or making more and more money.
It become quickly a maddening situations, where sex becomes nothing more than a bartering tool, and kindness is rationed out based on how expectations are met and filled.
Every month it seems articles are written for women giving them tips on how to get their men to commit, propose, or marry them. This is followed by a barrage of articles, on how to make him do this or that. the sad reality is women buy into this stuff.
Men must find women, who live a simple life, women who are not driven by the fashion industry, commercial media, TV programming and Romance Novels and Love Story Movie scripts. He also must find a woman who is not driven by measuring her life and relationship by outside influences.
It is certain that he must not be caught into situations where the woman is trying to drive and direct the relationship, for if he does it will be one hell of a roller coaster that will probably derail before he knows what happen.
Women are very quick to loose the concept and motivation of how to sustain a relationship and keep love alive. For too much is based on her expectations to be patronized.
Many women have often written about the insecurities of women, the perpetual want and need of re-assurances. This is a sign of instability to support the choices she made. If she needs excessive re-assurance to keep her from chasing and being enticed by temptations.
If we note today, women can't choose and many can't accept the choices they make, for being too per-occupied with the choices she did not make and building fantasies about what another choice might have yielded.
Maybe the story of Adam and Eve tells many things of the draw which temptations has within the minds of woman.
Men should be of much care in choosing a woman. He must learn her nature and what is the instability points in her manner. He has to learn about her ego and its impact and drive within how she lives. He must be very aware of the pull and push her vanity has within how she lives.
Most of all a man need not waste his time "chasing" nor trying to "win" a woman; because such activity will only bring him to do foolish things and chase a delusion he built in his own mind.
It takes women a long time to learn to "want" a man through sheer appreciation of him as a person. She first has to get over the external things which attract her, such as money, material things, and looking for 'a security ATM", or latching on to social status or economic status aims.
Men don't seek women for these things, he is not looking for money, he is not looking for material things, nor economic status, he is looking for someone who is able to care, willing to share, has kindness as a character trait, well groomed as a self respect elements, and clean and orderly as a house mate, as well as one who can and does share sex through appreciation and desire, instead of bartering and manipulations.
Men won't up and leave a woman, just because the money ran out or one or the other is unemployed, or they suffer a business loss or loss of a job title. but these things with many women today, become a big driving force of women rushing to the divorce courts.
Marrying a woman is easy, but finding a wife is more of a careful consideration which a man must make.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Accepting a Proposal for Marriage is something women should consider with a broad mind, rather than with a 'fanciful romantic fantasy concept" as the leading motivation.
Maybe the best way to learn the value of marriage, is to go look at an Older Couple, who have weather the storms and actually have grown together to appreciate each other.

It's not so Hard

Nothing is life is really hard when we invest ourselves to do it, learn it and work with it.
I think equally so, the many who claim love is hard to find, may come to know that its not as hard to find as it may appear. It matters that one often times face their own selfishness, come to term with it, and understand better how to become and be less selfish. Generally, that will produce one in being and living as being more magnetic in attracting potential mates.

Cold Winters

Maybe in times long ago, Cold Winters brought people to stay close with each other. Now, it seem people find their warmth by gas and electric heaters.
Maybe nature had a plan for keeping people together, by the forces of nature and technology has altered it?
Even warm location with good sunshine, could at one time bring people together with big smiles and much joy... Now, the cultures who spend most of the day indoors, seasons seem to change and people become less and less interactively engages, regardless of what the weather presents.
