Re: The goodness of the Black heart | #WhiteSupremacy and #Forgiveness on Blog#42

Very thought-provoking, to be sure. One thing: Forgiveness isn't for the perpetrator of crimes, it is for the person who was wronged. In Christian theology, holding on to the anger in a situation is worse for the one who was wronged than for the perpetrator. Ruminating upon it can cause bitterness, and progress does not come out of bitterness. Forgiveness is an individual thing, and must be done voluntarily. No one can forgive someone who hasn't wronged them. The power of forgiveness comes from the person who was wronged. That said, forgiveness does not preclude consequences or punishment. Forgiveness is a personal journey that one can only make for one's self. Forgiveness transcends color, or age or sex. But it definitely requires an act of will on the part of one who was wronged. Not all forgive and there's nothing wrong with that. But regardless of how the perpetrator behaves, forgiveness is for the persecuted. Strong or weak, it doesn't matter. And it doesn't make someone impotent if they choose to forgive. It is the bigger person who is able to do so.

The Stella ad was a direct ripoff of "Down With Love", a movie years earlier with Ewan McGregor.

thank you for this review. I am seriously considering this bag and it is nice to see how it really works. My concern was also the narrow opening, but trying to find something small enough that didn't scream "LOOK A CAMERA BAG" has been tough. I think this one does the trick.

Re: The 11 Ways That Consumers Are Hopeless at Math

For $2oo, I paid for an extended warranty (5 years) for a refrigerator from Lowes. The refrigerator lasted 4 years. It stopped cooling. It could not be fixed. Lowes gave me back the price I paid for the refrigerator. I took it and bought a better model, and you best believe I also bought an extended warranty. For $50 a year, I rented a refrigerator, essentially. When I had to replace it, I bought bigger and better, based upon my warranty. Some warranties are worth it. These days, companies don't stand behind their products, and we don't have a lot of recourse.

Thanks for reminding me why drinking to excess means avoidance of... everything.

This is very cool. Seriously impressed. And now, the ice cream I wouldn't have thought to eat, because it is named after a condom? I am considering trying. Not because the Influencer Scott Stratten said to try it, but because the company has shown they can be personal and human.

Well done, to all.

Re: Robert Pattinson Never Read Water for Elephants

Tina @SendChocolateNow — Tue, 03 May 2011 14:48:39 -0000

Didn't see the movie. His "performance" in Twilight was enough for me to know I don't ever want to see another movie that he is in again. He strikes me as the epitome of silver-spoon privileged actors who have no idea how they got to their place or even the remotest idea of how to stay there.

Warhol called. Pattinson's 15 minutes are up.

Re: Do the Huffington Bloggers Deserve to Get Paid?

Tina @SendChocolateNow — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 19:00:58 -0000

And your point is exactly why I stopped writing for Examiner.com and its ilk. I grew tired of not being paid what I am worth.

Re: Paid Reviews vs. Sponsored Content: Is There an App For That?

Tina @SendChocolateNow — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 01:59:03 -0000

I rarely do reviews anymore, and I never do sponsored posts. I got tired of everyone else making money off of my talent...but wasn't about to sell out my ethics to make a buck. That's just me, and MY ethics. I know that the comfort point for bloggers varies. But I can sleep well at night.

I would never, ever, ever review an app from a formula company designed for breastfeeding. The goals are diametrically opposed.

Wow. Gia, you haven't a clue about parenting, about blogging, about social media or about how to give support. If you want to speak for someone, speak for yourself, about what you know. The parenting/blogging community is legion, and those with special needs kids can be rabid on behalf of their children. For every person who writes the story, there are many more who benefit from reading it. It's what we do.

Maria, keep on keeping on. You rock.

I was going to disagree with you, but then I thought..women like Tina Fey who are intelligent come across as sexless...so yeah.

Intelligent women don't seem to also be able to ooze sex. Chelsea Handler, while awesome, is sexy. And smart, but her intelligence is not capitalized upon. I will have to think about this more...

Remember: "first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." At the risk of making mom blogging Important by quoting Gandhi... there it is.

I love this man. No. Really. He's fricken amazing. I would be in a fetal position right now in his shoes. And he is doing greasy bacon.

Rock on, Non!
