Re: Handwriting Challenge

habubrat — Tue, 01 Sep 2015 12:16:57 -0000

I was a professional calligrapher in the DC area for 20 years. I taught italic handwriting to my children and then later a few college graduates embarrassed they had to actually hand write in their new jobs. I use this method. It's the method that if you only taught children to print properly they would evolve naturally into this style. http://www.handwritingsucce...

My daughter works for this company producing media content for the classrooms. She interned with them when they were very new 3 years ago. She loves working there

Re: New Maryland Bill Would Ban Imports of Fracking Wastewater

It's always troubling to me when I read these stories (and I lived in Montgomery County for 27 years and have a gas lease in NE PA). Because they cook with gas, have heating/AC in their homes, drive hours each week to and from work in pretty horrible traffic. It's not citizen's "fault" per-se, our country has been set up this way, but the state and it's citizens will be using the gas coming out of hydrofracturing wells and grateful they have it. Now living in California it is interesting that the NIMBY syndrome is active here too. People don't want solar farms or wind farms where they can see them. Los Angeles only started recycling pick up at residents home in the last 10 years, while other parts of the country were well into a good program of curbside pickup. The hard line environmentalists who are anti- fossil fuel energy use would be better served to be a part of the conversation to make sure that it's done safely vs. not done at all. While always working on ways to improve using less.

I saw a lecture series at the University of Maryland on Energy. A speaker talked about technology being viewed as the solution. He gave the history of the refrigerator as an example of technology solving the problem, bringing it to more energy efficiency, less polluting, and lower cost to the consumer. Then the consumer bought two. One for the house and one for the garage. We all have our part to do is my point. From the government to the corporations to the lowly truck driver subcontractor to the citizen consumer. It seems that the solutions are so extreme and unrealistic which perpetuates a US and THEM skirmish that is continually counter productive.

The guy with the home in Sydney doesn't want his weekend home that he DRIVES too using fossil fuels, "messed up". The remote country where he unwinds from the big, polluting city all week. And Josh... since I a lease in PA, the longer NY has a moratorium the more drilling going on for us. Way to go buddy!

Re: What College Students Need to Know About Health Insurance

habubrat — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 13:45:26 -0000

"To avoid any coverage gaps after graduation, students should get on their parent’s policy within 30 days after walking across the stage."Excuse me, but my understanding of the healthcare law is that it only covers up to age 26 on your parent's plan if you are a full time student. Could you clarify the above statement?

Re: NUGENT: Addiction's deadly refrain

habubrat — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 20:51:31 -0000

It is always hard to watch public folks or our own friends and family implode on a self destructive path. I have a friend who with the loss of her son to drugs began a campaign to help parents set aside the shame associated with their children's painful addictions. The shame often delays getting the help you need and getting between your children and drugs. It often feels like such a losing battle. But there are winners and hearing from them is very important to offering inspiration and hope. Ms. Winehouse had a lovely, sultry voice that was enjoyed by many generations, a rarity. I was sad to see her self destructing and kept hoping she would somehow pull herself out of the nosedive. I'm sorry she didn't make it.

Thank you Susie. He is my most wonderful dog and has brought me pleasure and joy beyond belief. He has a hole in his heart from birth and they told me he wouldn't live long. Ha! He is my "mellow yellow" and such a blessing. He traveled with me to Little Rock, 2200 miles, like a champ and actually made me "excited" about being in the car for hours on end!

Well...Just remember that someday, and let's hope not, but you might need 12, educated and willing fellow Americans/Citizens to come and listen to your case.

Re: I used to like Tumblr back when it was cool

habubrat — Fri, 29 May 2009 21:59:21 -0000

I've noticed the same thing! I figured they were trying to tap into the original tumblr idea of reblogging. I would have thought "activity" would have been more equal somehow.

Re: I used to like Tumblr back when it was cool

habubrat — Fri, 29 May 2009 21:48:19 -0000

Indeed. I've noticed that the ones I do follow are quite prolific now with 100s of pictures of a particular topic! It was clearly designed to boost activity, which will interest investors. Ah sigh...

Ha! Very cool! Glad you did it. It was FUN! Simple and straight forward.

I have spaces, but have never taken the time to truly figure it out and utilize it. I'm not using it, but I thought it was somewhat interesting. I should really get myself better utilizing spaces!!!!

Yeah, I took it off. Cluttered up my tumblr AND unless I went to meebo.com and signed in, it wasn't active. So just annoyed me. :)

Haha, always a typo! I meant to say "Overt" way. Its very up front! Glad you agree.
Also agree with Mabel. I'm always happy when other tumblrs reblog something I found interesting.

What a benign, unpleasant, obnoxious, dweeb! I'm one of your followers and have never felt that way, and have found your stuff very nice and interesting. Besides, Tumblr celebrates the incestuousness of the internet in a fun an over way!

Carry on...don't stop! I would miss you!

You are right! This was absolutely silly and fun and uplifting and just...quite worth my time! Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for letting me know! I'm such a novice at this stuff. Would love to posh up my tumblr at some point. Well this is a start I guess. Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate it. Lori

Luck is often said to be where preparation and opportunity meet. Seems to me a miracle would be similar in that it is a little bit of LUCK and skill and so on. Quite frankly, I find things like this not miracles, but how things should just be. Experience, calm, cooperation, knowledge, responsibility of ALL involved. A collective effort moving toward the same end.
