First, what is the best way to block wind from around windows without damaging landlord's house? I know, of course, about putting plastic on outside of windows. Didn't do this because until last couple of weeks it could be 60 degrees F. and 20 degrees F. with thirgy MPH wind in the same week. I think it won't get above fifty degrees for a while. So, now is too cold to do this. If I tape thick clear plastic on Inside of window, it will strip paint off of woodwork Around window. Tiny finishing nails or tacks will leave holes in wood work and can't the wind blow through even tightly stretched plastid Between tacks? I can't afford solar curtains for each window, and what storm windown already exist are down. Weather stripping will help only at the Bottom of a window, not around the sides. Any other ideas for letting light in and keeping Wind out?
Second, for doll collectors, utility bills are piority now, but what does the action figure of Wai Lin look like? Is she Chinese? Her name is spelled like it is Chinese. And Which action figure is the "Phily Coollector" showing? I seemed to find Several Wai Lin figures when I put "Wai Lin action figure" in searchbox.
Third, it seems common for people to change the clothing of their action figures and dolls. Do you buy cloothing online from people who make it, from stores, or do you make it yourselves?

Last night when I went to bed it was 22 degrees F. But the wind was so ferocious all day and into the night that I was praying the shelters wouldn't be turning people out early! Felt like the wind could rip your face off of your bones!
In the past few years we have gotten more wind here, both Summer and Winter. It used to be that a 20 MPH wind was considered a stiff breeze. Now we often have winds of 30 to 35 or gusts up to 40 MPH. May not sound like much of a difference, but when you're walking into it in the Winter it IS! In Summer and Winter it dries out my eyes.
Knowing it is not rational to Hate weather doesn't help. When it is as Painfully cold as it was yesterday I Hate it and think of Ann, out in weather like That, Before the blizzard!
Last night I dreamed about Ann, that she went to the hospital and never came back. I woke up saying, "But where is Ann?"
What is With this Damned autocorrect? As soon as I typed the word "feelings" into the "labels" box blogger and my computer plugged in, "faces and cloth" Ok, so I have feelings about more than one thing, doesn't everyone?

Response to Viral Protest from Five Year-Old
This is my response to a protest which has gone viral online from a five year-old girl who objects to all of the dumb pink toys for girls and the blue smart toys for boys. Sorry fellow doll collectors, if I were the parent of a girl I'd have to agree. Yes, fashion dolls have careers, but it's never Explained how they Got those careers. Barbie may be an astronaut or run for President, but what was her life like Before she attained these heights? I thought little girls wouldn't care, but evidently at least One young girl Does. So I sent an E-mail to the BBC commenting on what she had to say.
Please count this as a post for tomorrow. Unless something comes up about which I Need to write, I'm taking the day off!
When I was a kid the space program was a big thing. We weren't rich, but I had fun
playing with plastic rocket ships and wooden blocks of differing shapes. I built
cool things like arches and fire places with the blocks. Also, I enjoyed plastic
farm animals.
But now that toys are more common and kids are mostly urban dwellers the classy toys
are more expensive, Usually. For parents with the money there are the Karito Kids
which get children involved in playing with Smart girls (the dolls) Reading, (books
which come with them) and Giving, via an interactive website. Less well sculpted
the Hearts for Hearts dolls are less expensive and also Smart. They have interesting
stories and an interactive website where kids can learn about how people live in
other countries. Of course their are also the American Girl Historical Character
dolls, which come with Books about the character. And there are the Vanange dolls,
coming from places rarely studied, like the Domenican Republic, Seychelle Islands,
and the Philipines, as well as European countries and the U.S. Each comes with
a poster book, and some of them meet one another.
If one has the money, who Needs Barbie sized fashion dolls? The dolls I am referring
to solve mysteries, one wants to be a panda expert at the zoo, another has to move
from the Domenican Republic to the Seychelle Islands where her father is a marine
biologist, (she must learn a new culture and language) and many of the Karito Kids
visit other countries in their part of the world. The doll from Mexico visits Argentina
and Brazil. The doll from China visits Japan, etc.
For parents with less money there are craft project books, the "Hearts for Hearts"
dolls, and books to read! Blocksand other building sets are still a good idea for
girls as well as boys. There are intelligent art projects and toys available online
and in educational stores as well as beautiful puzzles.
Even the Toys'r-Us Journey Girl dolls have personalities, a creative parent can make
up and write a history based on them. For instance, the African American doll Taryn
wants to play jazz in New Orleans. Ok, what instrument does she want to play? Does
she has to work at playing several before she finds the right one for her? Has she
ever Been to New Orleans? If so, what was it like in her opinion? If not, what
made her decide she wants to go There instead of somewhere else? How did she come
to like jazz at such a young age (she is supposed to be ten) anyway? Does she like
creole or cajun food? Has she ever eaten either? etc.

I wish all of you a Happy, Safe, and Prosperous New Year! Please drive defensively, have a good time and if you even Think you might need to, Call a Cab, your life is worth So much more than taxi fare! Thank alll of you for being kind enough to read what I have had to say this year.
I once decided to tell off my boss, no matter What resulted from it. Went to lunch that day and got the Best fortune cookie I Ever had read to me. "Take a lesson from the whale. He only gets harpooned when he surfaces to Spout!"
Well this blog was begun because I Couldn't take that wise lesson, but I Didn't tell off my boss.
May you all have health, peace, safety, and happiness!
And may all people find ways to find self-acceptance and to stop warring with themselves and one another

Very Important for Our Whole Country
I'm not trying to persuade Anyone to join moveon.org. But I Do care about our returning veterans and think the Wounded Warrior organization is Worthy of our support. So Please read below.
Dear MoveOn members,
After almost nine years, the loss of more than 4,400 of my fellow American soldiers
and countless Iraqi civilian lives, and at a cost of $800 billion that was badly
needed at home, the War in Iraq is over.
Finally, the troops have come home, where they belong.
As an Army Reservist, I'm part of a brother and sisterhood. We look out for each
other during good times and bad. The mission has been accomplished, not because we're
leaving Iraq, but because our troops committed themselves to their country and have
served the people of the United States to the best of their abilities.
Right or wrong, our nation sent these troops to war.
Our military men and women have done their duty and for that they deserve our thanks.
Now, my fellow veterans need our support.
The Wounded Warrior Project is dedicated to helping the thousands of wounded warriors
returning home from the current conflicts and their families.
Will you chip in whatever you can afford during this season of giving as a tax-deductible
contribution to the Wounded Warrior Project?
Click here to give to the Wounded Warrior Project
:
http://support.woundedwarriorproject.org
The tag line of the Wounded Warriors is,
"The greatest casualty is being forgotten."
Now that the war is receding from the headlines and soldiers are reentering civilian
life, it's critical that this generation of troops is supported.
Veterans, suffering from wounds both seen and unseen, have returned to high unemployment.
Thousands are homeless or about to lose their homes. They need treatment for their
injuries and support transitioning to civilian life. In short, my fellow veterans
need our help.
One of the most important principles of the Wounded Warriors is their emphasis on
helping injured servicemembers aid and assist each other. That's how we ensure that
we will have the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded servicemembers
in our nation's history.
No matter whether you opposed the war or supported it,
will you help support our veterans by making a tax-deductible contribution to the
Wounded Warrior Project?

.
Thank you for helping our wounded warriors.

Very Interesting! My "Labels were: "Our veterans deserve our support and help, here's one way to help" Blogger.com will Not allow "these characters" (whichever ones they mean) in a Label! Why Not? Anyway, I will rewrite labels.

Just for Fun
This came from my sister, don't know where it originated.
JANUARY'S ANTHEM.....
'Twas the month after Christmas,
When all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
Not even a blouse!
The cookies I'd nibbled,
The eggnog I'd taste...
At the holiday parties,
Had gone to my waist!
I remember the marvelous meals all prepared:
The gravies and sauces,
The beef "nicely rared".
The wine and the rum balls,
The bread and the cheese,
And the way I NEVER said,
"No, thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt,
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt,
I said to myself (as only I can),
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a MAN"!
So---away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip!
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished,
'Til all of the additional "ounces" have vanished!
I won't have a cookie,
Not even a lick!
I'll want only to chew,
On a celery stick!
I won't have hot biscuits,
Or corn bread or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot,
And quietly cry.
I'm hungry...I'm lonesome...and life is a bore!
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle,
No longer a riot!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL,
AND TO ALL A GOOD DIET!

Religion
Well I've already broken the rule about Not talking politics. So, because I've been thinking about it lately, I guess I'll break the second rule and write about religion.
I have gotten so far away from fundamentalist Christian views that I was honestly Horrified to hear a good teacher, wonderful father, and to the best of my knowledge, a faithful and I Know a loving husband lead a prayer by thanking God for loving him anyway, even though . . . and he called himself names.
I noticed it first in the difference between Buddhists raised in primarily monotheistic countries and Buddhist students raised in Asian countries. The Buddhists from countries didn't hate themselves. They weren't raised with the idea that they were so bad as babies and toddlers that God's miraculously born Only son had to be tortured and killed because of Them. They weren't raised to believe that they were first and foremost Flawed human beings who Needed to be saved from their degraded state. The assumptions were so subtle that when I tried bringing up a discussion about this, the Buddhists from Sri Lanka, Tiwan, China, and the person from India just didn't Get what we were trying to talk about.
I remember in one of Pema Chodron's books or talks, that a number of Western Buddhist teachers met with the Dalai Lama. They brought up the problem of Western students who mentally beat themselves up for not being good enough, or who had self-hatred to overcome. Pema Chodron said the Dalai Lama was confused, it was difficult for him to understand that Buddhists in the West Really Did Hate themselves. When all of the Western teachers agreed that this was a major problem for their students, the Dalai Lama is said to have replied that there really Must be a difference between people in the West and Tibetan people.
I remember going to an interfaith meeting where there were representatives of Islam, Judeaism, Christianity, and Bahaai faiths. I asked if these faiths believed in original sin. Everyone said no except the Christian minister. My best understanding of his answer was something like, "We don't think of it that way anymore, but yah, it's in the Bible." I took this to mean it isn't Stressed in some more liberal Christian denominations, but that it Was still a non-stressed part of their belief system.
People have asked me how I account for evil, if I'm not a Christian. I think human nature has in it the potential to do tremendous good And tremendous Harm. And I have to say that the ways in which religion is often used by politically ambitious people does a lot of Harm, in my opinion. I respect those people of any religion who try to Live it in Actions, Instead of just Talking about it. And I am not interested in trashing the religion of anyone, even when I completely disagree with some of its beliefs.
But although I am far from perfect, Not "enlightened" Not a Buddha, I am simply Not willing to hate or harm myself for a deity. Does this mean I won't give up a thing I want? No. If someone is in need I will try to hep. Does this mean I think I have the right to do anything I want? Of Course Not. I believe a person can be moral and compassionate without a belief system which teaches them to dislike themselves.
And I believe self-hatred causes Damage, Serious Damage. I know many people who will say they don't hate themselves, they just Accept the fact that they are condemned sinners unless . . . the rest of what they must do depends upon their religion and denomination.
But to me, believing one is truly damned, not good enough, is self-dislike, at Least. I can remember being so small and scared that I couldn't stay awake in church. But I awoke when the preacher yelled, "and he that believeth not shall be Damned" and whacking the pulpet a couple of times. Ok, so the Mo. Ozarks are said to be the "buckle of the Bible belt" and you don't attend a religious service like that. But Are you ok, as a falible human being with your God? Or do you have to accept that you never Will be deserving of His love and compassion unless you . . .
Sometimes I feel very conflicted. I have friends of differing relitions and of no religion. They are All kind, smart, Moral, Caring, people. I know some of them who have been Extremely kind to me would be Horrified at my beliefs, as I am at their beliefs. So the only thing I know to do is let them be who they are, including when they do something for a religious reason, and Not be who I am. For all the talk of "sharing our faith" by those who want to convert others, I find no one Really wants to "share". What they want is to find out what I believe and why I believe it so they can point out how I am wrong and They are Right, depending upon backing from the sacred book or books of their faith. But I may not Believe that these books are absolutely true Or a good guide for my life.
I get tired of keeping my mouth shut. The thing is that everyone who "shares" his/her religion seems to think it is the First time I have listened. Wrong! But if I "shared" my beliefs it probably Would be the first time anyone had heard it.
When religion promotes honest self-examination and Questioning, when it promotes Tolerance and Kindness toward one's self And others, I'm for it, if it makes a person's life more meaningful.
But when it forbids questions, crushes Healthy self-acceptance and self-love, Or crushes love of others who don't share its beliefs, I think it is a negative force in society.
My beliefs are based on what I think is true for me, and I have no wish to convert anyone. I wish I could receive the same respect from others. But the structure of many religions or their sacred texts works Directly Against Respect for Anyone who disagrees. Believers are Told to Convert others to please god. So I live with a level of frustration which I usually try to keep to myself. But, obviously, not tonight.
I will delete any E-mails aimed at conversion. It is Not the first time I have heard what Christians, Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, or Seventh Day Adventists believe. I am glad your faith comforts and makes you happy and kind. This is worthy of respect and so are you. Please try to show me the same respect.
