Studies in behavioral sciences have not once in 20+ years [ that I have been using conditioning models for modification ] deviated from Skinner's original theory of operant-conditioning.. they have been expanded upon, and rearranged; new answers to previously unknown theoretical querying, but never changed. It has continued on through our education system, crossed over into greater functions in mental health studies, and to this day, seems to be held as "The Golden Fleece" of masters of learning precepts; though Skinner is not highly regarded as the scientist he stressed himself to be.
Flourless chocolate chip cookies make me love life! I just saw a recipe online, and I'm inspired to bake them.

I wonder why some people always take someone else's decisions personally. It just doesn't make sense. Lines in the sand divide, not unite. Territorial pissing only starts battles. In all, it is strange how instinct and reactive reasoning overshadow the ability for unbiased interpretation. Humans are confounding sometimes, but I love the humans with whom I have forged friendships on here, so I love them as they are. ( I'm even getting better at loving those that just bug the daylights outta me; though in here there is the escape of just passing over posts made by those that irritate me, not so much with statements made in the tangible world.. errgh). But it hurts my heart, when they hurt.. even when it is over something that was never an attack, or intended for harm; well explained, and stressed upon that no one was in fault for the decision. Incidentally, this situation is occurring in both my tangible world, AND here.. Humans.. we mystify me!
Ps, my friend's don't irritate me.. just had to clarify.. entities outside of these friendships are the offenders there.. I didn't articulate my thoughts too well up there! ^^
There's a full moon out tonight. I'll blame that for everyone going a bit haywire today. I dread when the kids get home. They really go nuts. In the meantime, I will retreat to my happy place and try to stay out of the line of fire of all the craziness. I refuse to ruin another excellent mood. May you all survive this latest bout of WTF?
A field mouse in my apartment. Eek! Each time I see it I shriek and the mouse goes back to its hidding place. So, I'm singing to scare it. I called the complex and someone should be here in 45 minutes. This sucks. I've lived in the same space for 13 years.

Eek is right. At least now it would be. When I was 15 and in my very first apartment, there was a mouse that would come in and stand there looking at me every day at the same time. I named him Fred. It's funny how different we get as we get older. Now I would scream and stand on a chair for however long it took to get him out.

Stuff his hole with steel wool. Any mouse holes you find.. stuff them full, with steel wool. Mice, rats, raccoons, gophers, and moles HATE steel wool, and will stay clear of it. That will at least keep him out of your space until management can get someone out there. Also, spiders HATE peppermint oil, and cockroaches hate cinnamon.. some extras here for ya'll.

On another note..."The father is believed to be P-38." Where is Maury Povich when you need him? (You are the father!)

At least it's better to know sooner rather than later that their friendship is only offered on their terms.
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
