      I was just thinking- children in most families are indoctrinated, if not brainwashed by their parents to believe in certain paradigms such as religion, politics, & career/occupation.   Most parents do not or refuse to expose their children to other religious, political, or sociocultural viewpoints.  The average family environment can be quite stultifying to say the least.  Only a few enlightened, advanced parents encourage their children to explore all options.

         gmwilliams,  I agree that I was indoctrinated and discouraged from conflicting information.  Then when I grew up, I learned that there are many ways of thinking, and all sorts of nice people think differently.  I felt betrayed in a way.

      Yep, that is just one of the reasons I so much want to clear out of this town; unfortunately, financially trapped. However, due to my chaotic existence at the moment, my life timeline could shoot off in so many different directions that I've lost count. Not a complaint, some of those directions could be quite good.

   Well, my chaotic week has ended as of around 9:00 am (local time of course). Re-chaos resumes next week. As for the next three days, all mine. Will I make it without being forum banned? I will sincerely try. This place provides an amazing reality release for me; particularly as to whatever whacked out, fun experiment that may come to mind. I am reasonably certain those are enjoyed or at least not minded by most. Leastwise, I hope so. Stay tuned.

    Well, traffic less than stellar at HP and WWNN today. However, straight AdSense and FB Ads partially salvaged things. Curiosity killed the paradigmsearch, but I'm going to let it all ride again tomorrow. If traffic desertion still in place, I will run back to HP Ads; I figure the EBDA whatever will have been sorted out by then.  I'll also probably suspend the FB Ads until next week.

    Just got word yesterday that I'm most likely going to get a job that I've been waiting on for awhile. Just have to jump through a couple more hoops. It pays more than my current job and I'll be working a regular day shift, as opposed to the horrid night shift I have to work now.

    Sunday. Sunday. Another random day in another random world. The flowers are chirping and the birds are blooming. Who will entropy pounce on today? Whose timelines will intersect with whom? Life altering events will abound as usual. Mundane events will abound as usual. For those who haven't noticed, Thanksgiving is next week. Time can sure be a pest. Space and the laws of physics are equally unrelenting. The dice are thrown and the roulette wheel is spun; another day begins.

    Real-world obstruction and sabotage everywhere I turn today, blatant and overwhelming. Previous experience has taught me to just give it up and shut it down for the day; a sudden trend is a trend is a trend is a trend. Weird, actually. Not a complaint, November 1-14 were excellent; I guess I was just statistically due. Rest of day will be just diddling around online and doing routine chores around the house. In other words, just got to wait until the karma cloud moves on.
    
    What I just described happens to virtually everyone. The secret is to recognize it as soon as possible and do what I do, i.e., don't fight it and just wait it out. Will attempt to resume normal, proactive activities again tomorrow. As for today; well, those chores had to eventually be done anyway. And who knows? Maybe I'll even come up with a decent meme or two.

    You triggered my looking at my old bubblews posts archive. Found a treasure trove of FB and even website posts I can use. Most of them are even so darn good I am not going to waste them on the zero-earning forums.
    
    Speaking of Facebook, freaking hopeless as to generating earnings; but others have. Guess I'll just keep pecking away at it.
    
    Meanwhile, here's one I've already given up on as to earnings and posted on FB.
    
    ----------
    
    Home Depot has ATM’s. I did not know that.
    
    I decided I needed $40. I put in my card and made the request.
    
    The ATM informed me in effect, “Sorry, dude. Am offline.”
    
    I really needed that $40.
    
    Home Depot has sledgehammers. That I did know. I went and got one.
    
    I once again properly addressed the ATM. Once again, no joy.
    
    10 minutes later I had my $40. Home Depot could no longer sell the sledgehammer as new. Sorry about that.
    
    As for the ATM and money scattered all over the floor, I really did feel bad. But I really needed that $40. I even left a note on what was left of the ATM so they could deduct it from my account.
    
    I went about my business...
    
    While standing in the checkout line 15 minutes later, two nice police officers showed up.
    
    “Hi,” said I.
    
    “You’re under arrest,” said they.
    
    The cot was quite comfy. But alas, they took my $40.

    Well, while the rest of the country is in chaos mode (day before Thanksgiving), I am home for the day. Got some rather unpleasant dealings that must be done and today looks like the day to do so; will hopefully have that part of the day wrapped up by noon.
    
    Meanwhile, am becoming frustrated with Google. Am tired of trying to contribute worthwhile information to society and having Google refuse to tell anyone about it for the first year of publication. Writing has been a major part of my life for the last several years, but I think those days are done. Time to find a new passion.
