Jaramillo, you bring up a good point about fear. To my mind, there are really only two emotions that all other emotions stem from; love and fear. Which emotion do you suppose "feeds" God, and which "feeds" the devil? We all get to choose what (and who) we hold in our hearts and therefore what (and who) we invite into our lives on a daily basis.

I sgree with you that there are 2 core emotions. Every negative emotion has a root of fear...Fear of not getting what you want and fear of losing what you've got. Love is a little more complex in my mind, but the same concept. Positive thought. I apologize for not knowing off hand who in here said it, but it was brilliant. "Try forgiving someone". It just makes you feel so much better. Even though you don't want to, it just turns out positive....That's got to be love.
Just a thought.

That was what PG said amongst a few other insightful thoughts.

Hi Chris,
Bezoar here, 53 years old, and new to this forum. Have been a registered nurse in the USA since age 20. Can identify with you about the malingerers. I work in surgery part time, and review madical records for lawyers part time. Why is it that everyone who gets in an auto accident has a back injury and can't work anymore. Just reviewed a record of a woman who got hit in the head with a pipe at a hardware store and swears it gave her temporal arteritis -- of course, she can't work. I do find, with these types, that there are usually ongoing psychological issues that influence their not working. They taught me in psychiatry that when dealing with neuroses, you have to ask what function does the illness have? So often, it is masking another problem that the person doesn't want to cope with. In this case, upon further examination of the record, and contrary to what she admitted in deposition, she is having marital problems. How do I know? She had PID and was tested for gonorrohea and chlamydia. Right about the time they were going to reconcile, she got hit in the head with the pipe. Now, her husband drives a cab 12-18 hours a day, 7 days a week. What do you want to bet they don't have sex any more either? So, the illness gets her the attention she wants from her husband when he's home, allows her to punish him by not having sex, and releases her from having to deal with her rage over the situation. Interesting how the mind works, huh?

I just stumbled on this site & thought it was different to the usual forums that are around [
] Am not a scientist or anything like it, just a 40 something female that hopes to learn some more.

Hi All,
I'm Robert, 46, the Financial Controller of a manufacturing company located in Western Sydney (Australia). I have a 3 yo son with my current partner and a 26 yo and two 24 yo from previous marriages. I like to learn. I also like beer. mmm beer. I've found that these two pursuits don't always go together.
While I was reared an Anglican, I now don't believe in a higher power or "life after death". My everlasting life is within my kids.
I am interested in the origin of our species and our evolutionary path to this point.
I also wonder what happens to your accent when you sing.

Hi Robert, welcome to the forum.
People still have accents when they sing don't they ?

Sure they do. Listen to Celine Dion (she's fabulous). She pronounces the word love as lourve.

Some British people sing with an American accent, which is really annoying. i.e. Busted - who should be shot for crimes against music anyway.

Sorry Donnah, but your Celine Dion statement really put me off. I've never heard of busted, so that seems a good thing as well.
When you listen to someone talk with a heavy pommie or american accent, why does this heavy accent dissapear when they sing. Maybe it's just because I don't have an accent that I notice...listen to Chris Martin (Coldplay) or the Gallagher boys (Oasis) talk and then listen to them sing. It may only work if you don't have the accent yourself so you pommies should maybe listen to Anthony Kiedis (RHCP).

Umm, What's a "pommie"?
I'm curious, as well, if there is an actual scientific / medical reason why the accents go away.

Its the nickname that the old convicts from down under call us english!
I quite like it actually. As for accents, i've noticed that many are less evident when people sing! As for Busted, its lucky for you mate that they'll never break into the global music scene!
just look at em:

mmm they look so cool. Bet they have got really nice personalities and are great fun to chat with too ! They look like a bundle of laughs. What type of noise (can't call it music) do they aspire to making ?
