The ripple effect or Karma
Posted By: mt on 2008-06-10
In Reply to: I have often thought the same thing. SM - Agree
I feel for the people who come to get advice or even vent and they get such negative comments when the person giving the negative comments does not know the entire situation. I once posted wanting to know if anyone knew of any self-help books for people who are in difficult marriages and how to feel good about yourself and all I received were posts saying divorce, take the kids and leave, etc, etc. I was not in a situation that would warrant leaving. But I too have read the posts below and there really are some terrible posts from people. I often think about a news story I heard awhile back about some lady who posted something on the internet about some girl and how she wasn't a nice person and didn't deserve to live (or something like that - don't know the exact wording right now), but this girl ended up killing herself because of that. When I see a post from someone who is down on themselves I try to post a positive message letting them know how important they are to the people who love them. I just don't understand why people get so much enjoyment out of posting "nasty-grams" and hurting others. I do believe in Karma and the Ripple effect and one day this will come back and bite them in the you know what.

I believe in Karma too
karma
I love this kind of stuff. One of those PITA doctors who either mumbles or speed talks and just irritates me to no end was dictating from home. The whole time he was dictating all I could hear in the background was his whiny spoiled kid screaming and crying about something not being fair. Ha! Back at you, doc. You deserve that bratty kid.
Not so much Karma
as him having the issues he has and continuing bad behavior.
Ever notice that most of the scamming crooks do that too? ... They often get wealthy and could get away with it, but they keep on going until they finally get caught.
It is called karma.

I wish you well -- because with that kind of karma
you're going to need it.
I'd pay it, otherwise I'd feel as though I were stealing which just isn't right. Karma wil

Not particularly superstitious but beileve in karma!
I hate flying too so might try that M-n-M trick! LOL!
One superstitious thing I do is "knock on wood" to counteract some kind of jinx. My mom (Irish) has a bunch of them, especially the ladder one and umbrella one...
I guess some never heard of the word karma

karma doesn't have to be tit for tat...it can come in non monentary ways!

cause and effect
I used to give people the shirt off my own back, and I learned the hard way to cut it out! It's good you can't help them--you'd be throwing away your own hard-earned resources if you did. Let them earn where they want to be. If these people truly did nothing to create their plight, why didn't they check out social services or Catholic charities months ago? 90% of the time a hard-luck story was created by the person telling it. Speaking for myself, my best life lessons were because I had to dig myself out of a world of I created my own self. Others deserve the dignity of doing that--and as someone already posted, it can be done. Just takes patience and self-discipline.
well vin has that effect on me too LOL

nor can you be certain that there is any effect at all.
I know that my HUSBAND is the one who wanted our son circumcised and I am sure that it was not to psychologically damage him.
That should have been effect, not affect. Sorry.
A common effect...sm
According to the Ohio State University Extension, it is because there was excessive preheating--longer than 5 mins. I assume they mean while the tomatoes were being heated prior to being placed in the jar. From experience, it does not affect the taste. As long as the seal is tight, they should be fine. Just shake the jar before opening. Welcome to the wonderful world of canning! Did you get tomato bits on the ceiling like I do every year? 
The new tax went into effect this week
Cigarette companies told the store I buy mine that they decided to put it in before its mandatory. Really nice of them. They just want to make that extra $$. Took the cost up $10 a carton and mine are generic.
PA wants to tax extra too, which would be another $5-$10. I would quit but I've tried to quit 6 times and now smoking MORE. Nothing worked. In reality, though, I don't smoke that much. They burn away. I light up, start doing something, and next thing I know, it's down to the filter. That's worse than smoking IMHO.
I'm afraid to try Chantix. My son had horrible nightmares on it and I already have bad nightmares at times, so don't need to add to them.
I absolutely envy anyone that can quit. I will try again some day, but right now. I don't think I want to go through the withdrawal I go through. BTW, I've been a smoker for almost 50 years.
I think this may be the "Daughtry Effect." sm
The theory is that Chris Daughtry went home because his fans became complacent, believing him to be bullet-proof. This may be what happened with Adam.
At the same time, this week, a news story went out that there has been a major feud between Adam and Kris, who were former roommates in the mansion but had to be separated because of fighting. The feud purportedly stems from Adam being loud, pushy,gay,and big-city and Kris being a quiet, unassuming, conservative Christian from a small town. I don't know the validity of this but the story has been everywhere.
This would lead some fans who would vote against Adam for being either gay or pushy...I suppose to punish him.
Frankly, I could not care less what either of their sexuality is or what their personalities are behind the scenes, and I'm speaking as a conservative Catholic. I am rooting for Adam because he is who I would most like to hear on the radio and whose CD I would most likely buy, although to be honest, I've never bought a single Idol CD.
I really wasn't all that surprised last night.
I have not heard of that as a side effect
of the surgery. LASIK is surgery on the outer surface of the eye, and the lens that clouds in a cataract is deeper in the eye, inside a little capsule. I think the eye doctor is going to say it's unrelated.
How old are you, by the way?
how about the *sponge* effect with a mixture of--sm
a light sage green and light brown? Leave the ceiling white or off white. Or just do one wall with the sponge and the rest a light green or beige.
You know, that was about the only side effect I did have was vaginal dryness, but that (sm)
seemed to have fixed itself over about a year afterwards and I have not had any problems since. Luckily, that is one of the easiest side effects because they make stuff like that even for women that are not post hysterectomy. :)
It had the opposite effect on me, I couldn't even get through 1 week. I might be a fluke, though.

Mix in some spinach, kale, or broccoli to cut the effect of carrots on your blood

I agree. Facing reality 24/7 is the only side effect of quitting pot
Must be something more. Get him to a physician so he doesn't cave in. Then, I'd reevaluate your relationship as you may not be as in love with him as you think.
A baked yam or sweet potato is supposed to have the same effect, providing you don't
