I, as someone who has stopped watching the news a long time ago (I get what I want off the Internet), I have always wondered about the psychological well being of journalists.
Imagine your life, day after day reporting on tragedies, rapes, robberies and all sorts of NEGATIVE events. Yes, because there’s rarely something GOOD on any of the news programs.
I know one needs not to alienate oneself from all the world. But, watching and learning about deaths and crime, fires burning someone’s home, etc… How can that contribute for our well being?
And HOW IN THE WORLD do the one’s reporting all of this do it? How can they sleep at night after a day of bombarding us and each other with such dark reporting?
For the money, some of you may say. But I ask: is ALL THE MONEY in the world worth losing a part of yourself daily?
Have a great day, y’all!

Hey_Lo! :
Hi. I have experience as a Volunteer Coordinator, Professional Tutor, Promotions Manager/Intern/Assistant/Model, Party Bartender, and Barista. I’m looking to find work in London this summer. It seems most jobs want people who are recent college grads, currently in college, people who are only European citizens, or $1500 or more to get them started; I have none of these things going for me.
I got my degree in 2002, and I’ve pretty much focused in the areas of non-profit and entertainment, with a few hospitality side-jobs. I’ve also written radio copy and grants. I’ve also done some event-planning and I’ve given presentations in person and on local news.

ok, so tonight my local news told me that virtually everything in my home has too much lead in it. The paint on the walls, the toys in the toyboxes, the plates in the dish cabinet..etc. Last week they reported that worrying about stuff would cut 5-6 years off my life.
So, I cant decide whether I should worry about all the deadly things that surround me or if I should accept all the deadly things and not worry about it. Either way, they say it’s killing me.
Didnt our grandparents live with lead in their homes too?
Both my grandmothers lived to be 90 years old. I have an aunt that is 95 (and still going strong), another aunt that just turned 90 last week, an uncle that is 89 (and still drives to church every Sunday), and another uncle that is around 88 and living it up in the deadly Florida sunrays…and those are all brothers and sisters. On the other side of the family I have 3 aunts that are all over 80, and an uncle that is 84.
Should I call them and ask which one they picked?
or should I avoid calling them (knowing the phone has lead paint on it)?

I think it’s terrible. How could we let them get like this? It’s getting out of control. One day they attack us with knives, the next they’ll think they have a right to political power! We need to do something. Who agrees with me?

This morning on our local TV news we were warned about toxic canteloupes from Honduras. Before NAFTA it wasn’t like this, but what do globalist politicians care? And may God save us from the next lead painted toy from China………..

THE GREATEST GODDESS JILL :
U.S. Flag Found on Floor After Immigrant Complains
An Arlington woman has now been invited to rehang her U.S. flag after first being told to remove it following a coworker’s complaint.
Debbie McLucas, a hospital supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, hung a 3×5-foot U.S. flag in the office she shares with three other supervisors just before Memorial Day.
The timely display of U.S. patriotism was not welcomed by one of McLucas’ office mates and she was told it had to come down, CBS 11 reported.
The coworker, who emigrated from Africa 14 years ago, was apparently so bothered by the display that a complaint was filed with upper management. When McLucas, whose daughter is serving in Iraq as a combat medic, was told of the “infraction,” she was stunned.
McLucas said her supervisor removed the flag for her and placed it on the floor — an egregious breach of flag etiquette, aside from being an offensive gesture to most Americans. McLucas was then told that the flag flying outside of the building would have to satisfy her patriotic needs.
Susan Moss, vice president with Kindred Healthcare, said in a statement Wednesday that the issue was with the size of the flag and not what it symbolized.
“We have invited the employee to put the flag back up. We share their love of country and we appreciate the service of their family members as well as all members of the armed forces,” Moss said. “This was an isolated incident between two employees that we are working to resolve amicably.”
According to Moss, both employees have family members who have served in the military.
Kindred had been ranked first in Fortune magazine’s Most Admired Companies “Health Care: Medical Facilities” category.

I rarely hear or see anything about the war on my local news (DFW). I do get reports from CNN and NPR. Has the media taken this out of the headlines because of the election?
Dawgz Yes the death toll is less for our Armed Forces but the crippled and maimed are far greater numbers not even taking into consideration the citizens killed in the wars.
