Old Dog seeks new trick 12

[Old Dog]

Intermediate moves - woo hoo!

Second week of intermediate moves :-) I also did some at the Ceroc weekender ... including a 'drop' where the lady falls and you catch her ... hopefully.

I need to get myself there again. Problem is I have a yoga clash.... too much GAL!

Don't let V hear you say that.

Good job with the phone muting. Nice to dance with the ladies. I've enjoyed being touched again through dancing. Not having kids of my own and being all tactile with them, I miss it...My Mum likes hugs, kisses and a bit of dancing though :-)

Oh Toots, it's dreadful. My primary LL is physical contact: I miss it so. Even before BD, WW was withdrawing gradually. She is always kissing and hugging the kids and of course she also now has the b****** as well now.

So dancing with so many friendly ladies is wonderful. I don't sound like too much of a lech do I? That's not the reason I go ... honest ;-)

Just as an amusing aside, is anyone else following #WikiShappsFacts on twitter?

So funny. What an absolute tool.

I guess some things in politics never change, maybe the medium it is expressed or the way it is handled.
I think we have had this sort of thing go on before,
just the characters have changed.......

Point in case, maybe in the UK it goes back even further?

The first presidential election in which dirty tricks were played was in 1844. One involved a newspaper story put out by the boss of the Whigs, Thurlow Weed, about an alleged slaveholder named Roorback who supposedly came across some of Democrat James Polk's slaves cruelly branded with Polk's initials--proof allegdly that Polk had sold slaves to raise money for his campaign. It wasn't true. Another involved an attempt by the Whigs to demoralize leading Democrats; to persuade the Democrats that the campaign was going badly the Whigs sent out a letter to that effect supposedly written by some high party muckety-muck. Still another involved the printing up of phony ballots; the ballots mixed up the names of Democratic and Whig electors, which was intended to confuse voters

Politics does attract some ... er let's say dubious characters at times.

Thought for today courtesy of Louise Hay.

No person, place, or thing has any power over me unless I give it, I am the only thinker in my mind.

[Old Dog]

That's all very well, but how do you train your mind not to give up the power?

I just received an text from WW and now I'm angry again.

[Wonka]

OD,

I just received an text from WW and now I'm angry again.

What's going on? Why are you feeling angry?






Edit - start a new thread soon - Cadet

[Old Dog]

Because I'm not detached enough. Just seeing one arrive on my phone makes me feel angry, let alone what it says.

It brings me back to the reality of the situation I'm trying to escape from by GAL.

Sometimes I remember to try mindfullness and try to just watch the thoughts but other times it sets the mind into downward spiral.
