Welcome! I live in a world where nothing seems organized to anyone but me. I'm constantly thinking. Even when my life is in an upheaval, I know where my keys are, unless you move them... I can't remember names or words for things, so I use similar words (Kitchen = Garage) I call very few people "friend" It's a title you earn. I don't use it loosely.Don't like my thoughts? Click the white"x"in the little red box and it'll go away. Still here? Enjoy the ride!

Bullying
When I was a kid, I was a target for those self-righteous asses. School was miserable because of them. When I started having kids of my own, I was glad that the majority of them were popular and never had to suffer what I endured, but I was also relieved that adults are, as a rule, kinder than children. It is never nice to laugh at people who are disabled in some way, unless they are comedians who are onstage. Yes, to quote Shakespeare, "All the world's a stage" but that doesn't mean we should look on at celebrities as they stumble in some way and laugh, especially when they are going through rough times. When they start doing things that are dangerous to themselves and others, it's time to take away the cameras and leave them alone. The public has endured enough of Charlie Sheen's antics. In his mind, he may be "winning" but we can all see that he needs help, and the best "help" we can give is to stop laughing at him, stop picking on him, and keep the cameras away. His children were taken away from him, and people are laughing at his expense. I'm disgusted with David Letterman in particular. How about we all turn off the TV's and back away slowly for a bit or watch cable channels that are Sheen-free? Or at least change the channel when his name comes up? Otherwise we're no better than a playground bully.
