So Long, Farewell....turn your Brains back on!


Hand me a tissue...

Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye. It has been fun writing. And thank you Julie Readers for staying tuned in and putting up with me.

I don't know how so many of you do it every day and so well. I have visited several different blogs during my 'sitting'. And I am humbled by the honest, graceful and relevant writing I found.

I also, now, have felt (am feeling) the pains of writer's block. But, I guess that's okay, since I was billed as having less to say. :)

Hopefully, you all will tell Julie I did a good job and she will have me back (If not, there's always the rogue route).

Since my brain is frozen, like my computer has been lately. I'm going to leave a clip of one of my most favorite movie scenes of all time. It pretty much sums up my personality. You'll see, it's not hard to tickle my funny bone.

Enjoy! (Please don't laugh but, you'll have to link to my blog because I cannot figure out how to download it here.)

xo, Flavia

ps. Today's wine: Riesling and for our treat-Belgian chocolates, of course. a whole box of them.

Writer's block or no, I hope you got enough of a blggity taste in your mouth that you will now have less to say more often (a.k.a. use your blog dagnabbit!).

It has been a joy to get to know you.

I especially loved the treats! However, next time, perhaps you should have a daily yoga pose or tummy crunch so as to diffuse the added poundage I've acquired. :)

Thanks, Flavia.

Hey! Thanks guys. It has been a joy to here. Like I said I was lucky to get to jump right into a group of readers (a smart and fun one.)

Maybe I will try to write some on my blog. (eeks, that gives me tummy flutterflies..)

And Emily for you- 4 full sun salutes and 3 sets of 100's. for all of our sakes, we'll make sure we only have virtual treats from now on. :)

xoxo, Lesley

Flavia, I just wanted to let you know that I have read and really enjoyed all of your posts. I haven't been able to comment because of a slow computer connection and some personal issues that had to be dealt with. I completely related to your post on May May, I'm amazed at your work with the CASA, and movies,well let's just say that it shows how stressed out I am that I couldn't come up with any movie quotes. We love movies and movie quotes serve as dialogue in our house.

I'm looking forward to your blog.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Quorum

After being confronted with written evidence, Julie admits that she is a total attention whore. In some things, in some ways, sometimes I look outward for validation of my worth and existence. I admit it. It's my weak spot, my vanity spot . If you say I am clever, comment on a post, offer me an award, mention me on your blog, reply to a comment I left on your blog, or in any way flatter me as a writer...I am hopelessly, slavishly devoted to you. I will probably even add you to my blogroll just so everyone can see the list of all the cool kids who actually like me . The girl, she knows she is vain in this regard , but after much vanity discussion and navel-gazing , she has decided to love herself anyway, as she is (ironically) and will keep searching for (1) internal validation and (2) her first person . Until I reach a better point of self-actualization, though, may I just say that this week you people have been better than prozac and chocolate (together, with a side of white choc...

NEW and UNDISCOVERED BLOGGERS: I'll link you!

** Hey please come vote for this at SK*RT to get the word out! ** You know what? There are new bloggers out there. I know! NEWBIES. What's more...there are undiscovered bloggers, untapped wells of talent. But we don't know about you. I know, some people are shy, not really joiner types, don't prefer blog blasts or carnivals and so forth. So tell you what: I'll try to create a link list with some regularity. All you have to do is comment and let me know how to find you (aka paste in your link). Write a brief description of your blog, you know a couple of sentences a la "Hi I'm a mommyblogger from Detroit and I have two preschoolers who are very loud and creative, all funny stories on my blog!" or "I'm so deep I make Julie look shallow. If you wish you could have hung with Plato, come by my blog." or "I'm a guy who likes to talk about motorcycles." or "My blog is all about space exploration." And I'll link you. I...

Does the abstinence message for drug use work?

This past week I've made time to read up about social aspect awareness and education programs for young children in our public schools. My interest, of course, began with the red ribbon program , which I became alarmingly familiar with due to my daughter's negative experience . I read the Brain, Child article ( Scared Straight? Or Just Scared? Do elementary school anti-drug campaigns work? by Juliette Guilbert), which was excellent, as well as the research study that found the Boomerang effect of drug education and awareness programs that article cited (see a fact sheet that provides source citing for the University of Illinois article and also read the original Brain, Child article for more information). In short, our techniques are not working: "Levels of drug use did not differ as a function of whether students participated in D.A.R.E. Every additional 36 hours of cumulative drug education…were associated with significantly more negative attitudes towards police…m...
