Vicarious
The book I’m reading, "Insights for Remarkable Business People", has a section that talks about imagination or as it titled it: vicarious.  I love reading books that introduces me to new concepts. Vicarious definition: experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person.  This section gave an illustration of a meeting. The employees were to come up with a new advertising slogan.  There was silence and no creative movement. The leader told everyone to think of their favorite movie scene.   Soon the creative juices were flowing.  Everyone started sharing their favorite scene in detail.  The group naturally moved from the scenes to the slogan. 

Are you a imaginative person?  
Does your imagination help you be a better person?
What do you imagine? 

I want to have an intrepid day, in all I do and in all I say.

We have always loved going to the Argo in Crofton.  It's an historic building.  When I was growing up it was a Doctor's office.  Kim & I went there last night for Valentines day.  We don't get over there very often, maybe once a year.  The food was great.  This year I asked Kim what kind of flowers she wanted.  She showed me an article showing flowers for 100 dollars. Then she said she was kidding.  I had to ask her several times if she wanted em, she said she was just joking around.  I had every intention of getting the flowers for her.  I got her 12 roses.

What did you do to show your love today? or What did someone do for you?

Supercilious people are super silly.

I'm reading this book right now called Listen.  It's about a town that has someone recording private conversations and posting it on a web site.  The people are turning on each other.  It makes for a lot of interesting senarios.  It made me wonder how people would change if everything was made public. Some of these conversations were between husbands and wives.  It was temperary venting. One particular husband said he was just upset about the neighbors and needed to vent.  He vented to his wife and it was made public.  He never meant any of the things he said.  Is it ever ok to talk about someone else?  

Is it OK to talk about some one else to your mate or close friend in order to "get through a situation"?  
Is it OK to talk about someone one else in order to find out how they are doing?
Is there any situation that makes it OK to talk about someone else?  People you know or famous people

My wife and I went to the grocery store yesterday. (We usually do that on my day off.) It was unusual because I ran across several people I hadn't seen in awhile.  Since my wife is better at remembering people, when the person left I asked her who it was.  It seems like more people know who I am than I know who they are.  A lot of these people told me their medical conditions.  One young girl had twisted her foot and had to have surgery. She was in a electronic chair. She did pretty good at driving it and pushing a shopping cart.  Another lady was in a lot of pain with some condition I couldn't even pronounce - but she could.  Another guy told me his wife was being tested for cancer.  There were others that simply just said hi and walked on.  It made me think.  I personnally don't like to talk about any of my "medical" conditions.  I just don't do it.  I don't mind people telling me how they are doing.  After all I ask them: "How you doing?" And they tell me.

Question: What do you usually talk about with people you haven't seen in awhile?

Unctuous people humor me, but don't influence me.

Word of the Day - unctuous

I got one of those phone calls last night. -a parent.  Her child did not get something that she wanted.  This girl has been pestering me for several weeks about getting something after class.  I've up to last night ignored her.  She wasn't listening to my instructions and followed me out of the room begging for a certain prize.  I raised my voice and told her no and why do you keep on asking.  That's it.  Well the Mom called and said her daughter asked nice. (And apparently that makes it ok to beg).  The mother told me that if I have a problem with her daughter then I should come to her.  At that I said, OK I'm coming to you now.  I began to inform the mother on how her daughter was begging.  The mother then told me that her daughter would never do that.  I did tell the mother that I shouldn't of raised my voice.  At that she became really emboldened and began taking pot shots at me.  She stopped when I reminded her that she had a lot of weaknesses; would she like it if I began listing all of em. It ended shortly after that.  I think the conversation ended ok.  But it really stirred me up and I rehearsed in my mind a lot. 

How would you react to such a situation?

We should never be feckless in our conversations.

I've been enjoying the tributes to President Reagan.  I was in the Navy at the time and we were so proud to be Americans.  It was a great day when the hostages came home from Iran.  I was on board ship when Reagan had his landslide election.  I remember his slogan, "Peace through Strength". 

What memories do you have of President Reagan?

People that placate are called peacemakers.
