All Opinions…everyone’s got ‘em.
Posted by Michelle Moquin on October 10th, 2008
Ya know, it’s 7:00 in the morning….Do I need to start my day and wake up with this shit? But of course. I went to bed with it heavy on my mind and the last thing that I need to do is wake up to it this morning. But hello, here it all is in my face again. You can choose to read my blog or not. I have made a commitment to be here everyday. So be it.
People hating anonz; women saying ‘You turn me ooooon’. People liking me, people bitching at me….the white chick, if you want to call me white, okay…yeah I am to blame for this country going to the shitter too. All opinions…everyone’s got ‘em. Who cares right? Builds mettle eh?
Then I get a comment from someone…Sonia…on my ‘about’ page, “What a ‘boring’ site.” Oh Okay…who the fuck are some of these people? Obviously Sonia, you haven’t been reading. ‘Boring’ is definitely not the description I would choose for my blog. ‘Enlightening’ maybe, ‘real’ maybe, ‘truthful’ maybe, ‘informative’ maybe….’disturbing’ maybe…but ‘boring’? No.
Oh and anonz is good at playing the game. Yes, the Dow did drop below 8000. It opened at 7888. Congratulations anonz.
I’m outta here. I have really little to say this morning. You all can bitch, rant, love, hate, play, cheat…do whatever you want to do on my blog. I am done for the day. I can’t internalize this for one more day. I need a break from it all.
But really…my blog is here, as it has always been…for all of you to connect – so…carry on…
Peace out…
Gratefully your blog host,
michelle

How to Find Lost Objects — Fast
Michael Solomon
One of life’s persistent aggravations is misplacing everyday objects, such as keys, cell phones and reading glasses. You wind up wasting time ransacking the house in a frenetic search. Michael Solomon has studied how things get lost and how best to find them. His strategies…
Identify the Eureka Zone. The majority of lost objects tend to travel no more than 18 inches from their last known locations. I call this the Eureka Zone. Examples: A pencil that has rolled beneath your computer. Eyeglasses hidden under today’s newspaper.
Whenever I lose something, I explore the Eureka Zone meticulously.
“Lose” another object. If you happen to drop and lose sight of an object that has one or more identical counterparts (such as a screw or an earring), try purposely dropping a second one and watching where it goes. This gives you an estimated radius for how far the first object might have rolled or bounced.
Make sure you are not staring right at it. When you’re feeling rushed and agitated, your vision literally narrows. This is why your spouse or a friend often finds the lost object as soon as he/she joins in the search. You can improve your focus by taking a few deep breaths and repeating to yourself the name of the lost object over and over — “car keys, car keys, car keys” — which keeps you from becoming distracted from the task at hand.
Also, the object may look different than you imagine. Example: My friend couldn’t find a hardcover book that he needed. We searched his apartment in vain until I grew suspicious of his description and began to examine the paperbacks on his bookshelf. There was the book, a paperback, in plain sight.
Check whether you’ve substituted one routine motion for another. Instead of being where it’s supposed to be, your object may be where something else is supposed to be. This often happens in the kitchen. Example: You normally keep scissors in a jar on the kitchen counter, but you mindlessly returned them to the tool drawer.
It’s also a problem when filing items. Example: You file your Bruce Springsteen CD under “B,” instead of “S.”
See if the object has been borrowed. Is it something that your spouse or your coworkers may have used since the last time you saw it? Ask before you drive yourself crazy looking.

Zen Lill,
I must agree with you regarding the education of this country. Of course, with the failed “Every Child is Getting Left Behind” program of our “UNaccountability” President, I can say that unless the party changes in Nov. from this administration and their attempt to put the new party puppet McShamedofyourself in, the strained(wanting change yet may still have no balls to hold Bush and Dick accountable for their crimes) innocent hard working people, of not only this country, but the rest of the world that is crumbling due to Anonz and friends blantant greed, will have a rough road for possibly a long time. I feel, and damnit I am an optimist, that we will soon witness the worst global economic breakdown that one could imagine and that has never existed before. There will be real damaging social and economic changes in this country, and many others, due to the atrocities that people like Anonz are doing to the hundreds of millions of people that work hard to try to make their country what that the world wants to see rather than the fucks that Anonz is trying to screw. What the greed seems to have done to Anonz brain and his feelings is that by trying to take away the Billions that Bush has now steamrolled and subsequently is attempting to steal from right in front of the nations eyes, will leave them simply less rich. While the rest of the world, as well as Nia, if we remember her, will be put into a worse situation due to his own greed and arrogance. Nia’s life, due to the nature of corporatocracy and national crimes will fail as that country’s infrastructure will dissolve. Any aid to that country will get sucked up by its government and not distributed to its people, just like what is happening in the U.S. Only when someone or some country starts with nothing they will end up with even more of nothing for longer. I guess Nia’s promise just got sent to the shitter, huh?
These market moving crimes, swindling, embezzlement, Ponzi scheming economic manipulations that the Anonz’z of the world are doing right now, through the legal economic raping and pillaging of the future possibilities to our country, as well as the country’s for all Nia’s around the world, can simply kiss their future dreams and desires goodbye because of the selfish arrogant greed that fills the mansions of the Anonz’ who just can’t seem to ever get enough. And the Joneses that live next door will NOT outwit them!
So, our education system, our economic system, our banking system, our laws, our freedoms and policies will all get thrown to the wind because, as we have all recently witnessed people throw fate into the fire in panic mode. This is the strongest business strategy, or poker strategy, that anyone can have is to stay cool in a time of crisis. This is what the Anonz have to their benefit…besides a few billion to be able to survive on…Since most of the world does not have this attribute I have the feeling that things are going to get real, real bad. For those low or middle class or those that do not make McIdiots $5M a year threshold(but only have a wet dream to do so because in reality they are to lazy to do anything real about it) that give the cuddos to the Anonz of the world, we’ll see you in the bread lines.
I look forward to Michelle, the wonderful, interesting, thought provoking, true humanitarian, muse for many to feel better about things and put her globally reached audience into the reactionary state that all will soon need to be in in order to band together to fight this elitist, classist revolution that will be necessary for the masses survival in the near future.
I also wish to Anonz of the world that they enjoy the world they have created. Tell Biff and Buffy hello from me…we will miss them…
…right!
I have a video on my blog that exemplifies the Anonz of the day. …Simply click my name.

Michelle,
You smell, and I’m not talking roses.
Funny how most of your readers who comment are back to back, one after another, sometimes with only one or two minutes between them. There will be ten or so in an hours time and then nothing the rest of the day. This is a common occurrence, readers check her archives.
Truth is you have only two or three who actually comment. ZL and doug (you know, your pussy whipped husband) and perhaps one other. Your blog, and yourself are as phony as our republican party. Now you want to sell your image on mugs and T’s, I’d bet they are made in a sweatshop in China. You belong on a mug shot, thats for sure. Who would want to look at you and try to enjoy their coffee? Anyone who would pay to advertise on this blog is a moron, as your numbers are fake.
You are a selfish, lying and manipulative pig, and you want donations yet. Did I mention you are racist and sexist as well?
You should be run out of town on the spaceship you rode in on. I say you are a total fake, and that is ok until you start asking for money, you greedy cunt. You and others like you are the cause of the economic and social problems facing the world these days.
Trust this white woman and you’ll get fucked for sure, she is more transparent than Sarah Palin and twice as dishonest, at least Palin believes that she is fit for the office of VP.
This blog has been a scam to induce hate and make money from it’s inception.
You have got to be the sneakiest, most evil woman on the internet. Good luck with your scheme, you scamming piece of shit. You are very low, so low you would have to squat off of a nickel to be able to piss on a dime. You truly are a skanky Bad Ass Bitch!
Sir
Your old friend,
Al
October 10th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Wow, Al, you old fuck, where have you been. I thought you were dead! So, my wife is a cunt?! I may be pussy whipped, but if so, I am proud to be to with the woman with whom you refer to. So, go fuck yourself. Do you understand this or should I dumbdown my vocabulary for you.
I guess when you had the possibility of going to space through the participants of this blog, with your roommate and friend Howie, but it didn’t seem to work out for you, you need to resort to this kind of sexist, racist, uneducated type of behavior. There is a reason for everything, and all you have. You need to get out more.
I guess you are still reading this blog that you so hate. At least, Michelle is trying to make an honest buck for all of the work that she puts into something that you read everyday to love and hate as much as you do.
October 10th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Doug, the no-child-left-behind act is bullshit teaching matched with ‘testing’ to see soley if a teacher gets his/her (mostly hers since the pay isn’t shit) pay increase, there fore they teach to the test, which in no way (to me) teaches to the IB (international baccalaureate) standards most of the rest of the world is teaching, it is a much more wholistic and globally integrated approach, so easy to fix here, too. I saw no reason why my kid should be crying everyday and losing her self esteem in a class of 33 (wtf?), no F’in way.
Al, um, dude are you ok? I was on-line last night as well as several others apparently, that’s why I came back and LOL’d, so what? & you havenn’t had the extreme pleasure of meeting either Mischa or Boggzy in person, I assure you she is not a cunt and Doug is not pussy whipped. If you don’t like what your freading or hearing, it is your choice to read. I know the feeling though, I got shit upon and praised to the heavens concurrently on my site last week when I openly discussed self image and sexuality, I could’ve taken it personally, but opinions are opinions, we all have one, do I nercessarily give a shit if people agree with me or not. no. I’m taking my stand. If you want to take yours, write a blog. It’s work, in fact, by next week Th (my annual special day) I’ve been thinking about stopping/posting twice a week/once a week and so asking for donations is far from a piece of shit thing to do. Mischa’s readership is stronger than mine but it is like a PT job at times and my time is valuable. & if these are your true feelings, why are you reading? Hoping for the aliens to return and whisk you away perhaps?
Ladies of the blog, do not ever give me shit about ‘appreciating a man, any man’ if anonz has a problem with me challenging his values, viewpoints, whatever…he will let me know. If you want to act like star struck idiots that’s your biz, frankly I think you’re all a bunch of yes women hoping to f**k a billionaire, and good luck with that, you go ahead and cream your panties to get self confidence to speak, etc…I think you need to rethhink how your personal universe works if so. Do you really think f**king him is going to elevate you somehow? hahaha, women, you elevate you, no man does that for you, no matetr how much money he’s got. Believe me, I learned that the hard way and it’s a not repeatable offense on my part.
PS If you haven’t beem reading here since at least last Jan/Feb you have no idea what the F your talking about w/Anonz/Zen Lill, most of that was at my site but here, too. He did sight unseen what most men haven’t done for me in real life, in essence that is, he gave me back the gift of me. I’m just thankful for that whether we meet or not, and that goes whether he’s happy with the outspoken challenges I throw his way or not.
Enough said, it’s a lovely day and try not to see the sky falling, its still there and you’re all still breathing, so hold your stock and wait.
Namaste, Zen Lill

Michelle:
I see that someone isn’t too fond of your shot at entrepreneurial success with your blog. See what I mean when I say, it is so easy to ask someone else to give up a financial opportunity.
Al, if you don’t like what you are reading on this blog, try another blog, or use your intellect to change the dialogue on this one. Simply waxing vitriolic is useless.
Doug, I can understand you wishing to come to the aid of your wife, but don’t you think that you were a bit over the top. Al is a reader espousing his angst. Michelle can take it. Unlike Sarah Palin, (Al seems to feel she is more honest because he thinks that she believes that she is qualified to be VP) who needs McCain to sit with her through her interviews, Michelle can hold her own intelectually with the Als of the world without an assist.
Al, just because someone aspires for something politically doesn’t mean they think they are qualified. It may just may mean that Sarah Palin thinks that there are enough stupid people who believe that she is qualified to get her elected.
As for your statements about who comments on this blog. Am I real? Well if you have money to invest in the market you could do nicely following my advice. I did say when the market was over 10,000 that we would take it down to about 8,000.
I will talk more about that later. It is truly getting exciting at the table. I like Zen Lill’s poker analogy, so I will use it when I refer to my market manipulations. Either, I will be right or wrong. You be the judge.
As for your observation about the flood or lack there of of comments, if you have been a faithful reader, you will note that some of us have commented on the fact that this blog is under scrutiny by the Office of Homeland Security, and various other secret agencies. Some, or all of which have a say on who or what gets in. I don’t think you have to worry about Michelle making any money on her blog. I doubt the government would allow her to experience that kind of encouragement.
I am always amazed at people like you who would find it difficult to believe in a government conspiracy, but have no problem believing that a person would spend more than a year doing all the work it would require to pull off such a success as this year long discussion has been. It pulled me in and evidently you too.
If she has such a great imagination, she should write the novel. You and I would both buy it, we loved the blog.
I have my skills or the money to hire those who do to defy most of the government’s attempts to thwart my entries, so I will almost never be denied. I have been pretty close to phenomenal when it comes to predicting what will happen in the economy and the political side of the spectrum. Ergo, I am either genuine or a government pawn.
I did tell you months ago about the republican plan to manipulate the vote via voter fraud. Have you noticed that the six states that involve a swing towards Obama (Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nevada, and North Carolina) have been exposed for denying potential voters the right to register and purged others in violation of federal law?
They are telling McCain that if he can keep it close, they will hand him the states as the brother in the state of Florida did for Bush. The states that tally voting with computers that leave no paper trail have all been compromised.
I cannot comment on your supposed trip to outer space. I like it here on earth to much to ever consider leaving it.
The tactic of the republican party is to accuse the dems of an illegal action that they themselves have devise a scheme to commit. This diverts attention away from why they are dabbling in the area that they are accusing the dems of doing dirt. Hence, they get to manipulate and steal votes while accusing the dems of doing just that.
Sweet Lilly
I will address your comments later. The market calls.
Girls of Atlanta
If you are real(Al doubts you), as a gentleman I thank you for your solicitations and good will. But as a man whose heart has been stolen, I must say it belongs to “my” Sweet Lilly, until she tosses it away.

Anonz,
I appreciate the therapy, and believe me when I tell you I know that Michelle can handle her own. That response is a simple animal reaction as a husband. I will leave the rest to her. I suppose the initial, first knee jerk reaction was to say something due to the pussy whipped quip. So, either way…
I guess at its most pure cellular level, it is a very similar response to why you are doing what you are doing…
October 10th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Al
I get it. You were lying when you claimed to be a supporter of women’s rights. The first time you got, you dumped on her like the typical misogynist.
Shame on you Al

How do we know that you are not working for the government? This is my 23rd time trying to get in. You seem to be able to get in at will.
What’s the deal?

I keep hearing that the market is losing trillions of dollars. Who is buying all those stocks that are being sold every day?

Six Musical Instruments Anyone Can Learn to Play
Jessica Baron Turner
Playing a musical instrument can be a great way to relax, challenge the mind and enjoy time with family and friends. These six instruments are relatively easy to learn and lay the groundwork for playing other instruments. If you don’t want to buy an instrument, most can be rented at stores that sell them. Private music lessons cost $15 an hour and up. Music stores often can recommend teachers.
THE EASY SIX
Guitars require some dexterity and rhythm, but nothing too complex. Playing can be painful until you build up calluses on your fingers. Nylon strings are easier on fingers than steel strings. It’s best to start with an acoustic guitar so you don’t have to worry about amplifiers and electronics. Walden makes fine guitars starting at around $300 (800-994-4984).
Ukuleles. The strings are similar to the top four of a guitar, so it won’t be hard to transition to a guitar later. A good ukulele costs at least $300. Avoid cheap imports, which have poor sound.
Piano/keyboards. Full-size pianos can cost thousands of dollars and take lots of room, but electronic keyboards sound great and come in a range of prices and sizes. Some cost less than $100 and are small enough to carry in a briefcase. Most have headphone jacks, so you can play without disturbing those around you.
Recorders are simple woodwind instruments that are suited to chamber and Renaissance music. Playing the recorder will help you learn more complex wind instruments later. Some plastic recorders have satisfactory sound and sell for less than $10.
Harmonicas are cheap and very portable. If you have friends who play guitar or sing, you can accompany them after just a month or two. Select a “G,” “C” or “D” harmonica for greatest versatility. Good harmonicas are available for about $20. You don’t even have to take formal lessons — book/CD packages such as (Hal Leonard Corporation) can teach you the basics in a few simple steps.
Djembe/darbuka drums are appropriate if you are energetic and reasonably coordinated, even if you lack great pitch. The djembe, an hourglass-shaped African drum played with the hands, and the darbuka, a similar Turkish drum, make wonderful learning drums since they’re portable, affordable and versatile. They can be purchased at Rhythm Fusion, 831-423-2048, . Expect to pay $60 to $300.
