The Perfect Meal for a Million People. By Barbara Wilson, MD. You have a plan for much unhappiness and confusion. No -there must be an overall consensus on the basic pantry and the basic recipe flow chart for the million and the personal chef can innovate from there with personal touches. I digress. Planning meals for a million is not th...

http://theelephantdance.blogspot.com/2010/02/irrational-truth.html
A community of futuristic thinkers creating comprehensive solutions to balance emotion and rational thought processes for a better world. Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Those are the words that people used to describe healthcare financing in a recent New York Time’s article by Kevin Sack entitled “In California, Exhibit A in Debate on Insurance.”. I, on the other hand, was pleased, vindicated, and simply tickled pink by the story of common people being confronted by the realities of medical care payment.

http://theupstairsneighbor.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 4, 2009. And The Kichen Sink. Moving is an extended brainstorming session. We’ve boxes piled everywhere. We move them around, from room to room, piecing and prioritizing our working world. Occasionally we free from cardboard confines the odd and emergently necessary artifact required for immediate use. Poetry and flesh in the fused silica sand existent in a solidified slab of liquid that we call glass and often look beyond. Glass to showcase the spirit and expose the soul to the eye b...

The Upstairs Neighbor: Philosophy in The Land of a Lack of Work
http://theupstairsneighbor.blogspot.com/2010/02/philosophy-in-land-of-lack-of-work.html
Sunday, February 21, 2010. Philosophy in The Land of a Lack of Work. 8220;Any job is a good job.”. This was the statement made by a woman no longer receiving an unemployment check. She is still living in her home, propped up by a spouse’s disability check, and receiving groceries from a local religious organization. She notes they cannot afford to move because this would require “first and last month’s rent, and to open utility accounts.”. I’m intrigued by the choices of “any job” that ...That would be 7...

Pain is unpleasant and undesirable. Yet our genetic code has preserved the "seeds" of pain generation and our bodies allow the development of suffering in both the physical and psychological sense when we are challenged by noxious stimuli. Medical problems that produce pain can be difficult to diagnose at their onse...

What thoughts or activities demand that you go without food, sleep, or encouragement in the anticipation of achieving a sliver of ecstasy? The initial power of passion is that it drives us to forge and rework our opinions, and to seek information and the beliefs of others in order to create a more meaningful und...

The Upstairs Neighbor: Computer User Amnesty
http://theupstairsneighbor.blogspot.com/2010/02/computer-user-amnesty.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Learning Spanish is a treat for a distracted mind. The word “costumbres” must surely mean costumes. And yet it instead means “customs or habits.”. Yet what are our customs if not simply the costumes and clothing of our habitual natures? I select my clothing based in sequence:. 1 What fits and is clean in my closet. 2 What seems to feel good. And. 3 What seems to be appropriate to the places I’m planning to visit. Because we have no traditions, no costumes and clothing habitual ...

But the air enveloped the riverbed with love. The earth embraced its empty cradle with a divine force of affection and an electric sense of expectation. The chorus of Dan Fogelberg’s Part of the Plan was brought to mind:. Love when you can. Cry when you have to. Be who you must. That’s a part of the plan. Dr Barbara Wilson is d...

A community of futuristic thinkers creating comprehensive solutions to balance emotion and rational thought processes for a better world. Monday, February 22, 2010. Most good ideas don’t work because the people didn’t like them in the first place. People are social creatures. If a “program” is handed to them without their interest and formation assistance, then it is less likely that it will be a success. It seems that these guys are thinking ahead! Oh they seem to have some ideas on healthcare too. ...
