Two Words That Drive Your Anxiety.....
2008-06-04 12:33:00 If you suffer from general anxiety you may find yourself saying things like: "What if I get cancer?", "What if my partner is falling out of love with me?", "What if I say something and look like an idiot?", "What if I can't meet that deadline at work?","What if I mess up that presentation?", "What if...?" All these "what ifs...?" keep anxiety stoked. When you are worrying or anxious there is a stream of these "what if...?" thoughts. So, what to do? Well there are a number of methods you can use. But I'll teach you a very simple one you can begin using today, quickly and easily. It's a two step process... 1. Become Aware. Usually these "what if...?" thoughts happen so automatically and naturally they barely register in your conscious mind, you get caught up in a sort of day-dream, or should that be day-mare! So the first step is to become *aware* of when you are caught up in the "what if...?" process. Just notice, and be aware. 2. So what...? When you become aware that you're...

What If I Drafted Jose Reyes Part II
2007-04-12 00:00:00 In Part I, I examined what my pitching staff would have looked like had I gone $53 for Jose Reyes in the NL-only keeper league draft. I concluded I was better off with the pitching staff I drafted due to the extra dollars available that landed me a $17 Pedro Martinez. As for my hitters, I cannot be so sure. After drafting C Chris Iannetta for $14, my next draftee was 3B Scott Rolen for $26 followed by UT Aaron Rowand for $14, C Carlos Ruiz for $3, Terrmel Sledge for $12 and CR Alberto Callaspo for $5. However, in this what-if scenario, I did not have the cap to draft Rolen, Rowand and Sledge because I had just $27 to get four players. With a UT filled by Reyes, I would have still drafted Ruiz for $3. Given he was a potential target, I would have held back cash for him. This leaves me with 3 players to draft with $24. Callaspo was still a target and just the type of player I'd be looking for - a hitter who could produce double digit value if a few break...

The What If Factor
2007-04-10 14:52:00 Have you ever considered all the what ifs in life? I don't necessarily mean the regrets we all likely have. Instead, I mean those things that could be called fate, predestination, divine intervention. Do you remember the Gywneth Paltrow moving, Sliding Doors? I loved the premise of how chance occurrences shape the outcomes.What if the circumstances of how you met your spouse were altered? For me, what if my best high school friend, LL, had asked someone else to be a bridesmaid in her wedding? I most likely would have left her reception early and not had the liquid courage to go up to Tate and talk to him. He lived in Tennessee when we met, I lived in Missouri. The likelihood of us meeting any other time was highly unlikely. Of course, I could reach even further into my past and ask what if I'd never met LL? Maybe my Dad would have taken a job in say, Little Rock, Arkansas instead of Springfield, MO. No LL, no Tate.Whatever you call it, fate, divine intervention...I know that I'm ...

What if Firefox crashes?
2007-04-08 11:33:00 So what do you do if you have Firefox installed and you have it setup just the way you think you want it with all the best extensions and all the most usefull GreaseMonkey Scripts and then it crashes? I had this happen to me for the first time this past week and needless to say I was a little miffed. I tried to use Windows XP's system restore to fix what ever it was that I had done to crash things. But that did not help. I tried to uninstall Firefox. Then to reinstall it. I even tried to unistall it, go to the Registry and take out all mention of Mozilla or Firefox and then reinstall just version 1.5 and try to work my way back up to the 2.0.3 version that I had been using just prior and liked so much. Nothing seemed to work. Each time that I did one of the prior mentioned failed fixes I would get Firefox to work for the first time after install but then as soon as I closed it and tried to re-start it I would get the following error message. I was not sure what was going on but I...

What If There Were No Black People?

What if Prices Dropped to Fundamental Values?
2007-03-10 15:52:06 We have speculated a great deal on this board about the future of home prices in our area. The arguments all boil down to a simple conjecture: will prices fall to back to their fundamental values, or are prices going to remain permanently detached and inflated? I make no attempt to answer that question here. The chart link below is a graphical representation of what it would look like if home prices fall back to their fundamental valuations in Orange County. Below is a link to the excel file I used. It is a bit messy, but experienced users can probably navigate it. Orange County Median Price Projections Worksheet BTW, I was thinking about the current state of the market, and Wile E.

Okay, But What If Debt Really Is Bad?
2007-02-28 04:26:07 We’ve had a fabulous discussion over at the Home Sweet Mortgage post, and I’d love to continue it. The thing is, the direction I would really like to take it is into the area of creatively brain storming how a Christians might live and function if they decided Debt really was completely unacceptable. I’m not saying it is (Mindy and I have chosen to take loans out for her to finish school), but I’m contemplating what things might look like if we firmly believed that it was. You see, I think too often we are quick to interpret and justify away some of scripture because we can’t figure out how it would “work” in our world today. I think that’s why a lot of people don’t believe in non-violence (a topic for another post). I think this is also why most people give the “buying is better then renting” statement and then give the short financial advice to back it up. Again, I’m not saying buying is bad, I’m just sa...

Low Rate Car Insurance - What if My Claim is Denied?
2007-01-31 05:20:07 Getting your insurance claim denied is not a lot of fun. The good news is quite often, a denial can be turned around if any of the details or facts have been overlooked. The first thing you need to understand is there are a number of reasons that an insurance claim can be denied. For instance? You might not have the type of coverage that was needed for your specific case. For instance, if you don?t have collision insurance, when you file a claim for damage to your car, it typically will be denied. It?s possible you filed the wrong type of claim and it didn?t apply to either you or the other driver. Your insurance coverage might have lapsed or you?re late on a payment. The amount of damage exceeds limits on your policy. You were in an accident before your policy was active. There are a number of legitimate reason?s your claim might have been denied, so the first order of business is to find out specifically why it was denied. If after that, you feel like your coverage has been wron...

What if future Marvel and DC output resembles that of 52?
2007-01-22 16:07:03 Tim O'Neil at The Hurting predicts that in the future, mainline Marvel and DC could end up resembling the weekly 52 series more than anything else, replete with gratutious storytelling. He's right to be concerned; I'm wondering if there could be a superfluous amount of crossovers that'll be hitting the audience. There certainly are more than a few "event" comics being hurled at us, most of which aren't worth the paper they were printed on, and which decidedly need to be avoided as well. Otherwise, the road to redeption will be made longer.

What if humans had two butts?
2006-11-19 03:03:02 All my life, I’ve been intrigued by “What If” questions such as this. Even as a kid, I would drive everyone around me a little nutty with questions such as “What if the sky just stopped being blue?”, “What if we lived on the moon?”, and “what if 2 + 2 actually equalled 33?”. Yeah, I was one of THOSE kids. Apparently these questions are much cuter coming from a kid than an adult. I sometimes find a few people who love playing my “What If” games, others who look at me like I’m crazy, and the rest don’t say much … they are probably thinking “just smile and move away quietly before you are offered to see the spaceship” (or maybe they’re just being polite). Here are a few of my favorite “What If” questions that, for some reason, rank high on the ‘walk away quietly’ scale when introduced in casual conversation. I have my own personal thoughts on the answers, bu...
