Note to Self.....

Sorry kim - not so much a query as an ironic observation.

Today is yesterday's tomorrow. Just saying, no special significance.

Kim, you could PM the person and ask if they were happy to PM you back with their address. Someone kindly did this for me and sent DGS a lovely book. I was happy to give my address as the person was a regular poster.

Thank you for the help and guidance here. Really appreciated. Obviously missed out on your irony MB. Sorry!"

Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground

But hold on to something do you'll begger over backwards.

Tup, someone has definitely got one of those calendars ... or discovered an 'inspiration for the day' website. As for me ... Well, if l could just start the day right with porridge instead of a chocolate biscuit, that would be a good beginning ... (Whoops! Failed again!)

Like this imperfect?

Or this Website re "Inspirations of the day"

"Pseudo-profound you know what"

Always remember....... drat!..... what was it...?

Quote from longish article:_
"These results support the idea that some people are more receptive to this type of bullshit and that detecting it is not merely a matter of indiscriminate skepticism but rather a discernment of deceptive vagueness in otherwise impressive sounding claims. Our results also suggest that a bias toward accepting statements as true may be an important component of pseudo-profound bullshit receptivity."
and
"Those more receptive to bullshit are less reflective, lower in cognitive ability (i.e., verbal and fluid intelligence, numeracy), are more prone to ontological confusions and conspiratorial ideation, are more likely to hold religious and paranormal beliefs, and are more likely to endorse complementary and alternative medicine."

That is so true, Elegran.

MawBroon And may we all be blessed with discernment of deceptive vagueness ... as long as l still get a choccy biscuit at the end of the process ???

" a discernment of deceptive vagueness in otherwise impressive sounding claims." does sound similar to the detection of "mere corroborative detail, to add verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative" - that filler embroidery verbiage beloved of some writers.

And added to further posts occasionally by someone who had aired some unlikely problem of their imagination, and received sensible advice which they had no intention of following.

She is a self made woman and worships her creator.

Those more receptive to bullshit are less reflective, lower in cognitive ability (i.e., verbal and fluid intelligence, numeracy), are more prone to ontological confusions and conspiratorial ideation

That's an interesting concept Elegran,

Maybe this one would be suitable for the sort of person who seeks daily enlightenment.

We really do need a like button.

Maw Alexa is where I got the awful marvellous jokes I was telling in the kitchen!

Galen I now have an Alexa and I do not wish to hear any of her ghastly jokes.

I need an Alexa - DGS1 and I are in a phase of sending each other hopeless jokes and it's hard work hunting for them.

Ah, all is now clear -Galen - thank goodness it wasn't you practising your stand-up routine for the cruise cabaret

Dear self,

I know you struggle sometimes but in case I don't tell you enough, you're beautiful. Thank you for being so strong and transparent, the world sees you even when you feel invisible. I appreciate your heart and stubbornness. Your willingness to love even after being discarded and forgotten is admirable. I'm so proud to know that you've grown to acknowledge you're worth.

With Love
Self.
