Topic #47: Name an outdated or obsolete technology you wish were a part of modern life. They just don't make 'em like they used to, do they? What do you wish was still a modern staple? rotary phones, telegraphs, locomotives, 8-track cassettes, horse-drawn carriages, swords, and other: farming.

More people should be farmers. For those with a backyard, that is a plus. They could learn how to grow their own food and share what others have in their gardens.

Topic #45: What's one of the oldest buildings or landmarks you've seen? If you don't travel much, this might be your elementary school. For others, though, it could be someplace exotic like a Mayan temple or someone else's elementary school.

It is the oldest urban institution of higher education.

Topic #44: What traits of your parents are you inheriting? Are you happy about that, or did you resolve never to be like Dad or Mom?
—
I’m inheriting Dad’s traits. The saying goes that the oldest child will be most likely that of the father. Although Dad doesn’t have skin problems, his youngest brother have acne, just like me. I’ve got hard of hearing from his mother and poor eyesight, too. My jawline is especially broad and wide, just like Dad. And the projection of our voices can be LOUD and uncontrollable at times. We have a tendency to associate single words with many non-related ideas.
I’m also inheriting Mom’s traits. Although Mom is creative in drawing birds with a pencil, stitching embroidery of small leaf and flowery designs, sewing of clothes without using patterns, cooking without recipes, dancing gracefully and singing melodiously, I’ve got some of her facial features, roundness of face, smaller eyes, and sunny disposition. She doesn’t say bad worse but she does get emotional, which I usually get when watching sad movies. I see that I’ve got lots of patience from both parents but I’ve inherited the concern for Mom, just like she did when she was taking care of her mother.

Topic #43: Share your scar(s). Ouch. How’d you get that?
I've got three scars from DC's zapper. I felt asleep while applying the device on my bear skin. The old one is on the lower left quadrant of my flabby belly. The two recent ones are off the left. The penny-sized scar is in the shape of a quotation mark lying down and is off the left of side of my solar plexus while the smaller scar are three dots just further below and more to the left of the larger scar. `Caveat emptor` should be on everyone's vocabulary, by the way.

Topic #41: When (if ever) is it okay to lie? Select your choice from below: to protect someone's feelings, when no one's looking, about my age, when I feel like it, never, or other: to protect self!
—
Lying has to originate from somewhere – and that is from the self! The ego is very strong to defend itself from untruth – the truth that doesn't make sense. Those that would disagree is met with something quite formidable. Lying preserves sanity, too. Without lies, one would be a constant drone, just like anyone else and public too. You see, lying keeps self from going public. Ego especially loves privacy. It's secret is its own and sometimes it believes that lie is reality when in fact it's all illusion.
Take for example, love. We all know that `love` spelled backwards is `evol`, which sounds like `evil` but really reminds us to `love` is an `evolution` to one's sense of self. By loving self too much, self seeks to justify its ego by convincing self that others see self as lovable. Then take love a step further, the love becomes other people, who would also follow blindly in the vanity of ego's love of self in the first place. Get it?
If not, neither do I. Lying is okay as long as no one gets seriously hurt. By telling the truth, evil would sprout its ugly head and no one wants to get a piece of the ugly truth, which almost always dies from its own self-destruction, a belief that it's okay to lie. Get it?
I don't but that's what came out of my beautiful mind from somewhere or someone or something regarding lying to protect self.
