Tranquility - Ben Franklin?s 13 Virtues
2008-05-21 16:00:00 TRANQUILLITY "Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable." Every day we encounter a thousand little annoyances. Some jerk cuts us off on the way to work, we get a flat tire, someone takes our lunch out of the fridge, and so on. While each incident is seemingly small, they burrow under our skin and fester there. The mundane indignities of life threaten to snuff the very life out of us. We can soon find ourselves exploding at the smallest irritations. We become angry all the time. In Western society, anger has sometimes been associated with toughness and manliness. We secretly applaud the hothead who finally loses it on the nincompoop who screwed him over. But anger is often a blustery cover for a man who is insecure and weak and has no other recourse to solve his problems and make his point. Truly manliness means being as coolheaded and unflappable as possible no matter what the situation. Many men use two equally detrimental me...
Ben Franklin
2008-03-23 08:14:00 He said, "Thinking aloud is responsible for much of mankind's misery."Ain't that the freakin' truth. I wrote it down. I'm saving it for the day when I know I'll reach my limit with someone I CONSTANTLY roll my eyes at internally. She manages to say EVERYTHING that comes to mind, never considers anyones feelings and is completely selfish.Oh, and by the way, during the pinnacle of the small pox scene with the absolutely adorable little Adams girl, Sarah woke up coughing... I think I sprinted to her room to check on her. Yeah, the John Adams miniseries has me totally hooked.Oh, and by the way, Sweet Pickles will be open Wednesday, March 26th. ;) Details soon...gotta have some family time real quick... oooo they're just scrumptious. Did I mention tomorrow is my anniversary with John? I never really counted until Sarah came along. Technically, six years since the "certificate", but 17 since I knew. :) lucky me. Never a moment taken for granted (several that I'd like ...

Ben Franklin an Elder Ahead of His Time
2007-05-21 14:05:00 I wish it were possible... to invent a method of embalming drowned persons, in such a manner that they might be recalled to life at any period, however distant; for having a very ardent desire to see and observe the state of America a hundred years hence, I should prefer to an ordinary death, being immersed with a few friends in a cask of Madeira, until that time, then to be recalled to life by the solar warmth of my dear country! But... in all probability, we live in a century too little advanced, and too near the infancy of science, to see such an art brought in our time to its perfection... - B. FRANKLIN. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN wanted a procedure for stopping and restarting metabolism, but none was then known. Do we live in a century far enough advanced to make biostasis available - to open a future of health to patients who would otherwise lack any choice but dissolution after they have expired? We can stop metabolism in many ways, but biostasis, to be of use, must be reversible. Thi...

The Office: Ben Franklin
2007-02-03 11:10:01 I guarantee at least twenty hearty laughs during this episode of The Office. Two laughs in the first minute. I made a good guarantee. Phillis is getting married in a week, so the office is getting ready to celebrate. It will involve a “one hour shower with guys.” Packard! He hasn’t been around for a while! What a wonderful jerk. Michael has decided that it’s a good idea to hire strippers. Jim, charged with hiring a male stripper, hired an educational speaker who dressed as Benjamin Franklin. I’m smiling really big right now. You could see my teeth of you took a look. Creed! Finally some creepy Creed scarffing down man meat. Lots of fantastic Pam-Jim-Karen tension this episode. Who knew just how uncomfortable a non-dead stripper at a bachelor party could be? Benjamin Franklin is coming on to Pam.
