� � � �3 hours since English class has ended and no studying done. Disappointed with myself as I have a tendency to sit here eating, combing the internet, obviously in search of satisfying interests, climbing out of the study box for a break, staying abreast of events or lack of transpiring as I pursue personal goals. I will try to make a daily entry at an opportune time which will provide a track or record of school, my life and events, guide, shape and evolve me into whatever it is I am going to be. I truly wish I had followed this path when I was 18 but the glitz, glamour and gold of cash in hand, new experiences and adventures for a young and hungry pirate was I guess too tempting. I knew better but opted to roll the dice and here I am now, none the less wiser but very thankful to have another chance. As for retirement, concerned as I could and should be packing away funds but also not so overly concerned, I want my degree, Phi Betta Kapp and planning for the best end result.

Can Find The Key?

A New / Old Simple Thought!

08/19/2012 In the middle of the night, I woke up to "think" again about "stuff" - I do this frequently, since my 81 years wants my Old Goat's mind to try to get down to the "basics", with "simple" concepts! So now, I will try to "re-tool" my thoughts about "Good vs. Bad" - so it's titled "Earth Planet in Space" vs. "Humans on Earth", instead!

08/25/2012 - A Little More Comes Out:
I'm "not" thinking about "anything" from the "past"; I'm "not" thinking about "anything" from the "future"; I'm "just" thinking about "everything" that "is" in the "present"! The Earth Planet was here before "humans" were! So, it seems to be the "truth", without argument, at least from my own mind! If that is correct, the Earth Planet must be the first, and most concerned, about humans living on it! But, for many "folks", nobody seems to "care" about anyone except their own, individual "thinking" about "whatever"!

08/29/2012 - A Little more Comes Out:
There is "power" and "BIG money" too spend, without a "doubt", in order to keep "some" leaders "IN" - so, the "trickle down" concept continues from the "top-down", where the "rich folks" from the "high" level live! There is "power" and "LESS money" too spend, without a "doubt", in order to keep "some" leaders "IN" - so, the "regular folks" from the "low" and "medium" level live!

Now, here is this simple concept that needs to be thought through:

Conservative "Thinking" STARTS from the "Right" of the "Middle", and goes way out to the very END of "VERY" CONSERVATIVE THINKING - each, focusing only on their own "whatever"!

Progressive "Thinking" STARTS from the "Left" of the "Middle", and goes way out to the very END of "VERY" PROGRESSIVE THINKING - each, focusing only on their own "whatever"!

Balanced "Thinking" STAYS in the MIDDLE, because that's where nobody can know, until they "try" something new, or rebuilt to fit better for "everyone" - because "we" are on the "expedition" to the Future!

THESE THREE BASIC CHOICES ARE AVAILABLE - "EACH" INDIVIDUAL'S MIND HAS TO WORK IT THROUGH, WITHOUT ANY "OTHER INDIVIDUAL", TRYING TO CLUTTER-UP THEIR OWN "THOUGHTFUL THINKING"!

THERE ARE MANY GOOD MINDS FROM THE "PAST", INTO "OUR DAYS", AND INTO THE "FUTURE" - THE "PROBLEM" IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE "ENOUGH" OF THEM!

SO, GET UP, SQUARE YOURSELF, AND TRY AGAIN - UNTIL ENOUGH OF "US" CAN FIND THE "KEY" THAT "WE" NEED FOR A "BETTER WORLD"! Good Night,

Farmer Insurance!

Wilder Foote (PapaFoote) wrote:

Insurance "spreads" out "risk", but "most" will "pay" for that risk, by the "premiums" instead of taking "their" risk themselves! The "Insurance" will "gain", not "loose", if the "actuary" does their Job properly!

Therefor, as in this case of "farmers", the government (through the taxpayer) needs to "balance" each "category" in order to know whether the "government" insurance risk, or the "farmer" self-insured should be the correct "choice"! This "category" risk has to be "monitored" - in order to know if the "choice" needs to be "adjusted" differently!

It seems to me to be a "basic" concept - what do "You" think?

Vote for Conservative?

WHY "SOME" VOTE "CONSERVATIVE" - STILL?

In the "olden times", we had Kings, and Queens, and Noblemen, and Noblewomen, and Other "Rich" Persons that did "Count" - BUT, NO VOTERS EVER VOTED FOR ANYTHING!

In the "olden times", the others were only Servants, and Serfs, and Other "Poor" Persons that did not "Count" - AND, NO VOTERS EVER VOTED FOR ANYTHING!

Now, in "present times", we have Powerful Persons, that "Count" - AND,TRY TO GET "OTHERS" TO VOTE, THE WAY "POWERFUL PERSONS" WANT, FOR THEIR "OWN PURPOSES"!

Now, in "present times", the others are Low, and Middle level Persons that "Can Count" - IF THEY WANT, SOMETIMES FOR THEIR OWN THOUGHTFUL THINKING; OR BECAUSE THEY THINK SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO, FOR THEIR "OWN PURPOSES"!

A thoughtful, thinking "Conservative" will balance their progressive vs. conservative thinking, when going to "VOTE TIME", weighing their thinking carefully, before "VOTING" - WITH THEIR OWN "MIND", NOBODY ELSE'S, TO CLUTTER UP WITH IN THEIR "BOOTH"!

Life and the Joys of it

Journal
Next month my mom will be down for a visit.� I am very excited cannot wait.� Not sure how long she is staying, but I am just happy she is finally coming down for�a visit.� I have missed her something fierce.� I guess I am just a big mamas girl.� I know that I am proud to say it as well.� Stress has been on the down low lately minus school stress, but that is expected at least I have an A so cannot complain too much about it.� I have been also using the information I am learning in my class especial the whole psychology information.� It has helped and I am actually learning to listen and ask the right questions just like a therapist kind of weird when I catch myself doing it, but it is a good kind of weird.

Why?

Henry Wilder Foote IV 7:45 AM - Public

Everyone SEEMS to UNDERSTAND about this STUFF - WHY DON'T "ALL" THE VOTERS GO TO THE "PROGRESSIVE" SIDE (LIKE ME)! I am still WONDERING, and WAITING for a "GOOD" ANSWER - perhaps, their are really "BAD" folks, with really "BAD" thinking, THAT WILL NEVER "CHANGE"? If this is true, it will take "Us", the Progressives, years or decades, to CLEAN "THEM" UP - but, "we" WILL! The Old Goat

FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS HOCUS POCUS.... Out of math class seven hours now and have studied very little. Simply love the atmosphere of college, sitting here or there, watching the world evolve. Special note - Saw a cardinal bird moving about the pines near the water fall in the center of campus - a good sign. Peaceful, feeling at least this once as though I'm beginning to get a handle on life as I've always wanted a college degree. Bought two Parkland cups after they went to the warehouse and brought more up. One for here and one for Times Center. Snagged a couple of slices of left over Papa John' pizza with garlic sauce, cool. Finding miscellaneous pennies dropped here and there where ever but mostly in the cafeteria where I tend to spend most of my time. Focus, math, english, be ready for monday. I love it. God help me I do love it so. Must speak with an advisor about career fields. A felony gums things up when laws and policies are changing so anyone with such is discouraged or not allowed to work in particular fields such as health care, schools, etc. but am curious about mitigating circumstances and whether each �person is gauged on a case by case basis. Would like to do either, enjoy people, want to help others, not sure how but am hopeful this will play out favorably but must be careful of not wasting time on something that would be difficult for me to become employed in or overcome in general. Don't waste time. Hoping for a great career that will provide me with the income to fund retirement but also take advantage of the $5,000 boost allowed for persons my age, need it now. Need to apply to te' shirt'.

Where is the future... Many of the career paths I look at have changed policy over the last ten years by not allowing or hiring anyone with a criminal record, a felony, in this instance. The worst thing to do would be spending two years in pursuit of something I'm not wanted in, though may be able to be hired, would constantly keep me on the bubble as a drain on resources, risk, undesirable, etc. Most people when learning of a felony act as though it happened just this morning, to them, in shock, they quickly dismiss any further discussion ending any prospects. Finding those who will pursue the matter further to fairly discern the matter are few but always possible.

Love the birds here as they come within a foot or two in search of crumbs, easy, ready made meals. A lot of fun to watch where ever you find them with their side kicks, the squirrels.
