Now how does that grab you for a title for an entry? As I'd was going through the tedious process of logging in (as I'm on wireless and my main ethernet computer is busy downloading something), I was trying to think what to talk about. Sometimes I come here with a clear point of view and a very specific topic. Being that I know my time is limited (Batman is almost over and the children will collide once again) I thought I'd give note to the most prominent subjects in my life at this point.
Subject 1 is the Canadian Dollar. My question really is what is up with that? I'm not into business and the methodology behind it nor how the market works. I've taken a couple classes in business and that's not where I'm at when it comes to my mind wondering how the world works. (Not to say that business isn't what makes the world run). What I wonder is why it has gone so high? And the negative effects I'm seeing from the impact are surprising to me. J laughed at me and asked why I was even thinking about it because I never think about things like that, nor talk about it. I had to take some offense because even though I don't take notice of the stock market doesn't mean I don't notice other things. I realize I'm ignorant. Anyways, one of the things I was wondering is if it's really JUST our dollar or if it's the USD that is sinking and the other countries are rising in tandem with Canada. Also, if it's to do with the war, as speculated by J, is it because the USD is losing it's strength and again, is my theory of the other countries true? I still don't know, nor have I had time to Google it (my main tool of research).
Subject 2 is the stomach flu. My oldest son got it or what I think may have been food poisoning. He's been sick since Friday. I, however, have been sick with stomach cramps since Saturday night. I'm seriously starting to think I should give up eating altogether. I don't know what to do. It's like sometimes I can eat wheat products and then other days, I eat a bit and spasms come the next day. The one thing I think I can possibly blame it on is those few chocolates and bags of plain chips I ate that came from Hallowe'en. Only God knows. My fear is that if it is stomach flu that my oldest son has and the youngest has been fighting off, how I'm going to make it through if they give it to me. I'm fearing the pain greatly. I'm just glad they're fine. I managed to get three basic broth soup, bread and water meals into them today and a fair bit of water. So I think they've recovered. Last night was probably one of the most aggravating as both of them were dealing with the tail ends of cramps and I was stuck between the two all night, suffering from my own pains.
Subject 3 is feminism, feminists, radicals and their "agenda". This has been something I have been subject to because of this one group I am part of that has a very active forum. I won't specify the group. Anyways feminism KEEPS coming up and one person in particular has this strong opinion that feminists are trying to take over the world and everything they stand for is not for true equality but so women can take over. Now, I've been reading about these things and so far I have yet to see anything conclusive but my search continues. I can see how that could be the thinking... seeing as women have been pushed down for so long. It would make sense but it's funny how it's become some sort of conspiracy. I really do need to read more before I speculate.
Also another topic that has come up is the feminist's push to alienate father's from their children and the lies that are being spread about men to make them worse than they really are. In particular when it comes to domestic violence accusations and abuse accusations. THIS I actually have to agree with to a point. When it comes down to cases of DV (domestic violence) I do believe that the system has been tainted quite clearly in the favour of the woman and many women abuse this. I believe that a lot of cases of DV are an equal part and that not as often as is thought is the man just plainly beating his wife. I believe that women posess a lot of anger and hostility and tend to use it more than we think. It's not to defend the phrase "She had it coming." because nobody does. BUT what I am saying is that I think in more cases than are truly reported, women do instigate violence and when he fights back, she screams DV.
Subject 4 is long-distance relationships. I've had someone that I had an exclusively internet/phone relationship with, come back into my life. It lasted for over a year and it was amazing the feelings that were there. What I've come to realize is that you cannot know a person unless you meet them face to face. I never did meet him but experiences since then have cemented my belief in that. My problem is that he still loves me and wants to try to build back what we had before. I'm unclear why because he still doesn't have any clear way to get to me. He's stuck somewhere in Germany right now. I don't see the point in attempting to invest time to build back the feelings that we once had just to have them shattered again when things don't work out. I mean, what's the point? I also have enough on my plate with J, as it is. I guess it will end any hopes if I am just clear to this man that I am in a relationship, no matter how confusing said relationship may be.
