Thought I like to share this. If it's that easy, why isn't it?

I  think you have to copy and paste this link, it does not work otherwise.

Chelms, it seems to be referring to a file on your computer, and doesn't seem to work for me.

Is this the article?

If so, I agree - if only it were that easy to navigate relationships.

Hmpf!    Another article written by a DIL who hasn't been there yet.   I'd like to hear from her when her kids are grown and married to see if the perspective has changed!

That's the one, elsiehaye. Going for a gentle walk with DIL to sort out problems, yeah right!

Doe, what we should keep in mind is that our kids have not been able to feel and experience what we have and therefore, their judgement and deeds are not always kind and considered. They are nevertheless painful to us.
Much of what we feel and do comes from the experience we share, our love, our happy times, our various and manifold disappointments and all the other stuff life has thrown at us so far with a vengeance.

Absolutely - my point entirely.  Sometimes reading articles like this..it's like hearing unmarried childless couples correcting parents on their child raising. 

No disrespect meant toward our local WWU DILs.

You can pretty much find an article to support (or not) your point of view on just about anything nowadays.  Written by who knows, what experience they have or education lol.  Way of the internet I suppose

Amen.  I heard an old Alan Watts lecture the other day and he described how the next cultural evolutionary step is that our brains will be outside our bodies in the form of all the information available out there.   What an image!

I do not want to walk around with the Kardashians visible in my exposed brain  Time to get picky about the info we take in?

Good old Alan Watts - I used to listen to him often.

anybody see the Nova episode about "space?"  Your comments remind me of it.  One of the current theories is that our reality is much like a hologram, and that the "real" is out there beyond "what is written" in the hologram.  The hologram is an extension of the real....hmm....this is over my head I think but very interesting.  Ok, let me say it the way they explained it.  If a wallet falls into a black hole, the image of the wallet or everything about the wallet and everything about the wallet is projected onto the 'outside' of the black hole (like the bits in a computer) and the actual wallet falls into the hole G... knows where.  The theory, originating with Einstein long time ago but continuing to be worked on, is that this is the way all of *our* reality is.  We and our experiences are the hologram...  This isn't getting any better is it.  hee hee      I highly recommend the program.

Lol Sesamejane, your description entertained me so much that I have to watch it.  But I know what you mean   It is a very interesting concept.
