Today I learned, the Japanese method of decluttering the stuff that brings you joy, if it doesn't anymore then get rid of it, take a guess who cleared his dresser drawers of stuff today!

I've noticed a few posts about de-cluttering the Japanese style and I've even watched her TV show but do have a comment or two regarding it. I wouldn't say I love or that my stapler brings me joy nor my tape dispenser, but regardless I do need them! I could go on and on with other examples but she's speaking more to personal effects I guess! |

IMHO I also suspect there is a life lesson about "sparking joy". What I got from Marie Kondo is that we have many choices to make in life about belongings and life paths. She is teaching people to identify what brings them joy and encouraging them to do that. It's about creating happiness. Actually choosing happiness. I also think that there are cultural differences at play. Japanese are traditionally minimalists. Anyway that was my take. |

Baryshnikov
Forty-five years ago today, July 27, 1974, Mikhail Nikolayevich "Misha" Baryshnikov made his American Ballet Theatre debut, dancing opposite fellow expatriate Natalia Makarova just weeks after his defection from the Soviet Union. He was a sensation. He has never returned to Russia.
In my opinion he is one of the finest male ballet dancers I have ever seen. He dances like a male stag leaping and frolicking through the woods. Bruce Lee wanted to train him as a martial artist. They were on the same level skill wise. Ballet dancers are incredible athletes. |

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY!
Fem-pocalypse Fem-pocaplyspe: - is the END of the naturally functioning modern global society due to hyper-masculinization of woman and hyper-feminization of men, and the END of traditional gender roles, which is also characterized by the preferential treatment of women combined with shameless bashing of men and bashing of all things male by both men and women |

That a French Connection can be something other than a cocktail, or an elaborate drug trafficking scheme.

I learned there was a piece of space junk in 2017 they thought was a comet, but it wasn't, and scientists think it might actually be a piece of alien technology! It's very thin, and flat and big, and moves like a sail through space (browsing science channels on TV today)

it is very telling when someone who claims to "not want to talk to you" emails you out of the blue...... hmmm
things are not always as them seem...and people only tell their story... typically never the truth
