How about that Brexit??

Come on, it IS kinda funny... My husband is European so he's all into soccer..... and super interested in the Brexit. I have to be as well, because it affects my workday now.
Markets are plunging, people are freaking out. Britainia is leaving the European Union...
WTF DOES THAT MEAN??
In my line of work people are concerned because There will be a period of uncertainty over what will happen when Britain leaves the EU because it has to make new trade agreements with the rest of the world.  Also, the worry that worry that foreign companies will be less likely to invest in Britain and could relocate their headquarters if Britain loses access to the EU's single market. 

 An interesting side note: Now Britain has voted to leave the EU, it will no longer have to contribute billions of pounds a year towards the European Union's budget. 

 I like this outlook on it:Eurosceptics say Brexit will allow Britain to take back control of its borders in order to curb immigration and increase security. Britain will no longer have to accept ‘free movement of people’ from Europe, which Brexiteers say puts pressure on public services such as the NHS and schools.
Brexit campaigners have said Britain will be free to impose an ‘Australian-style points system’ to better manage immigration and fill skill shortages here. **Let me tell you- I wanted to go work in Australia. they have strict requirements and background checks they do before you can get a work VISA. They have to almost guarantee you plan on working hard and being a viable member of society before they allow you to set foot on their soil. WHY ISN'T EVERY COUNTRY LIKE THIS??

What do you think?

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea...

sensory overload

We soothe ourselves and distract ourselves and, if we can’t even face the demons inside our own brain, how can we be expected to stick something out, to love someone even when it’s not easy to love them? We bail. We leave. We see a limitless world in a way that no generation before us has seen. We can open up a new tab, look at pictures of Portugal, pull out a Visa, and book a plane ticket. We don’t do this, but we CAN. The point is  that we know we can, even if we don’t have the resources to do so. There are always other tantalizing options. Open up Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat and see the lives of others, the life we could have. The life that just looks so much more glamorous, vibrant (thanks, filters), and exciting than ours. See the places we’re not traveling to. See the lives we’re not living. See the people we’re not dating. We bombard ourselves with stimuli, input, input, input, and we wonder why we’re miserable. We wonder why we’re dissatisfied. ...

The new normal: Fat acceptance

A new study published in the 'International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education' reveals that the average size of an American woman is now between a 16 to 18, which is an increase from 10-year-old data that indicated most women in the U.S. were a size 14. "I am hoping this will help nudge the fashion industry to seriously consider expanding their sizes," said study author Deborah Christel, Ph.D. LOL...  But you don't make the connection between larger sizes of humans overall and obesity? You don't hope that the results of the 'study' you did encourage people to start eating better and exercising more and you know, stop being obese? You just hope the multi billion dollar fashion industry changes its ways... er, um, sizes. Because... feelings? I mean, anyone who says they can't find clothing in their size is forgetting to tell you the whole story, leaving out key factors like: can't find clothing in their price range, can...
