Do you remember how you felt (you feel) when someone told you (tells you)  an untruth?

'Untruth' is a nice way of saying   'LIEing'.

What are the feelings that  you experience?

Is it anger?

Is it hurt?

Is it betrayal?

Is there a desire to get revenge?

Do your kids lie to you?  Does your spouse or friend lie to you?

What do think their motivation is?

Does 'the lie fit better than the truth'? (sometimes)

All of us have lied. Think about what lies you have told--and who you told them to--and what your motivation was.

What IS the motivation?

Is it:   fear of repercussions of telling the truth?  Or, to 'gain' something?  Or to get something?  Or to avoid something?  Or is it because you do not respect and/or detest the person you lie to? 

Pick the one that you think causes people to lie.

The big question is:  What should we do ...what should we say...when we find we have been lied to? 

We see that most people will counter, and try to explain away something someone has said about them....but if the lie is not the truth...why should we do that?

Somebody once said that if people are friends you don't have to bother to explain ....and if they are enemies then they will not believe you not matter what you explain.

What say you?

. I see that some retired federal drug agents are suing NBC Universal  for the "American Gangster" movie.

They say the movie makes them look like villians and convicted criminals. 

Will be interesting to see who wins what.

Did you see the movie?

Did you get that impression?

(N.Y.Times)

When do you say the honeymoon is over?

When she tells you  she will 'let' you get your own breakfast?

When she tells you her hands are dry and chapped, and she can not longer milk the cows?

When he tells you to get your gloves on and help cut the wood?

When tells you to get out and push, and you will do the shifting thing?

My wife tells me  not to be a "Barbo"  ...(that's my daddy's side of the family)

...anyone else have any good ones?

Hello. This is my first time here in Wausau. I read a little about your town, and your state.  It blows me away that the total state of Wisconsin has only  5.5million people.  I remember from a boy  the name "Wausau" though.  I think it must have been connected to the Insurance Company.  One thing I note that your town has about 38K people.  A sizable place.  I am from the deep South so I do not know if I could handle your winter weather.  I note that Wisconsin has 90 percent white, 6 percent black, 86 percent white with no Latino blood, and about  5 percent Hispanic.   That is a real far cry from what you will find in Dallas-Ft. Worth, I'm telling you. 

I suppose you all up there do not have much of an Illegal Immigration problem?  I don't think they have gotten up that far, except through Detroit  and on into Canada.

Well, we are having hell down here.  I am trying real hard to get them sent back, but it may be a losing battle.  I believe in Law and Order, and I pay for what I get, and I don't like handing out freebies to people coming in here Illegally.  So, a lots of crapola is going on here.

I surmise a lot of your population must be German?  That is what I read in some of the stuff on the Net.

I read something that says Wausau is full of 'hotties'.   Is that right?

Yeah, I can envision your farm-fed, hard-working  German girls. That makes my little heart pitter-patter.   LOL  Don't take this as any disrespect....far from it.   My grand-dad on my mother's side was German.  But then I got twisted up with some American Indian and English blood, that I know of.  Probably there is a lot more blood in there  somewhere too.  I don't know.

Aren't we all just a bundle of mixed up bits and pieces though?

I hope my wife does not read this.  LOL  (she does read some of my posts---and ribs me...we have fun)

Anyway, I think your blog must be new. So, some of you tell me what is going on with you.

And how you feel about the 'World Situation'.
