Does the Internet Cause Depression?
Posted by: branwynne77 on: August 16, 2008
I think it exacerbates depression.
I was reading this post–Deb is an awesome writer!–and it got me to thinking. Not just about the woman that still loves her ex, even though she half-heartedly denies it, but about the internet and how it can make depression worse.
My conclusion: Depression and excessive computer usage is Not a Good [...]

Put all excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable. –Zig Ziglar
It’s true. The power to change our own lives is rooted in our own psychology. Some people use the crutch of religion to initiate change, good for them, but all we have to do is muster up the gumption to do it.
I guess I’ve [...]

Tagline: Take my advice or I’ll send ya to Valhalla!
Now, onto the advise that will help you smite foes deal with people.
Dear Val,
My boss is annoying. She keeps looking over my shoulder to see what I’m doing. I’m afraid that she’s going to catch me playing World of Warcraft one of these days.

A Tale of Two Families
Posted by: branwynne77 on: October 9, 2007
I know of no completely different families than the ones I’m about to relate to you in this post. One is conventional….the other would be condemned by neo-cons everywhere. I guess I’ll do the conventional one first.
Family 1#
My sister and her now deceased husband. It hurts to say this, but what remains of their family [...]
Judge Not…You know the rest

Judge not
We all judge. We all judge on first impressions. We all evaluate. People are evaluating my skills as a writer and a thinker right now. I’m guilty

with a withering [...]

Sometimes, I feel like I’m a pseudo-intellectual, and not quite up to pondering the heavy philosophical stuff. I expect a lot out of myself when
it comes to constructing thoughts and concepts. There are times when I do not communicate effectively, when I just ’shut’ down and stammer all over myself. There are times I doubt [...]
Ch-ch-changes!

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.–Gandhi
That is probably one of my favorite quotes, because it is so true. Change begins inside oneself and as change is intregrated fully, it becomes visible to other people. Kindness and positivity attract people like a lodestone. If I feel good, then the people [...]
New research show patients deemed brain-dead might still be conscious
Posted by: branwynne77 on: August 12, 2007
Now that’s a thought to scare me. (Ever since I watched that one Tales from the Crypt episode where a doctor thinks he’s watching his own autospy… Scared the beejebus out of me.) Actually, though, that’s one of mankind’s basic fears: the fear of being prematurely considered dead and put in the ground.
So how do [...]
