Is your computer killing you.

What surprises me is that people don't often respond to emails, so I wonder why that part of the computing social media should be promoted? 
 
I was going to ask what others do when emails aren't answered, but then one piece of advice was to just use the phone.  Then again, people have voicemail, which is another technology designed to put distance in between people.
 
When we have a blackout in the city, it seems like such a gift of quiet and simplicity.

Hello Davit,

Interesting topic of conversation. I guess everything has it's place and balance is always the key. Finding the right balance seems to always be the tricky part.

News new procedures at 2 of corporate clinics that I go to..This will be my last post of this type here..
 
One clinic I go to takes palm prints of patients now to identify us..When you go check in you put your hand on this plastic reader and it identifies you..The new clinic takes a palm print and a picture of you..The palm print is optional, the picture is not..I was not comfortable with the palm printing but gave into it after they became agitated with me even though the person taking it said earlier she had not agree to the palm print herself. When I resisted because I said the palm reader might spread germs amongst patients, she became agitated and stated she did have disinfectant on her desk but ran out.
She then said it would be easier for me when I come to the clinic if I did the palm print..You will not need to show ID and you will not have to come to the desk to sign in anymore..They have a freestanding upright palm/hand reader in the lobby so there is no need to talk to a person anymore..It is automated just like some of the grocery stores..Assembly line style.
 
Anyway I reluctantly agreed and that is only because they seem to be pushing new ways of not communicating in person to the patients anymore..No hello or anything...Is the machine  becoming your new best friend or not, like I believe it's just  part of the grand scheme of things and the new world orders way of controlling the masses..If you are non-compliant and do not take your meds as told or believe in your God Given right to Free Will your palm will be able to be scanned by anyone in authority, doctor, nurses, police, government officials, military and such..If you are not acting or doing as your told, in other words you are being non compliant according to the rules of the new world order..The will be able to take you off somewhere and give you a attitude adjustment..In the country I am from they have taken a our right to Habeas corpus Corpus away so this is a very real possibility..
 
You will not longer have to agree to give your name rank and serial number because they have your palm print and picture on file in the new world orders computer system. I wish I had read the info earlier here on this site on how they recommended getting the general population more to more compliant. If  I know this I would never have agree to give my my palm print to anyone..

I'm frustrated today since I'm hitting dead ends.  I can't get a renovator for a home project, since people aren't answering me though telephone calls or emails. 
 
I can't find proper fitting shoes.
 
Neighbours are renovating causing noise which sounds through the walls.
 
Usually I'd go to the gym to de-stress, but my shoes are so beat up, that the shoes are an embarrassment.  Fortunately I have an indoor treadmill, but I'm going to take a walk, and run some errands, instead. 
 
I'm missing an ingredient for cooking cod(cornmeal) so I'll add something else I need, and map out something I can walk in my boots(which I'll die in sometime - and they fit!).

Good to see your reading my friend..It looks like snail mail my be the only way left to safely communicate in the near future. I saw a interview months ago about the post office and how they take pictures of all envelopes that go through the mail for security reasons supposedly. I wonder if there are other reasons for this too..
 
Well got to go. I could talk about this stuff all day and this is probably not the safest way or place to do it..I hope I have not said to much already?!!! They may say I am  delusional and paranoid since my views don't comply with the so called plans, of some others..They may me reading here today..So it's for me button my lip for now and because is it always "better to be save than sorry"..even though I find it had to be silent now.

Money and pleasure control everything without either it can't exist. Some times the money isn't obvious. Sometimes the money is in an unrecognized form.

The computer is a good tool for typing letters and such. The world wide web may just be another way of controlling the masses..Keeping us in turmoil and confused with propaganda, while the One World Order takes over...
 
I was reading the info for evolution health here on the site about medication non-compliance by the citizens on this planet and how to deal with non-compliance by the masses..Pretty scary stuff my friends. Of course if this part of my post gets deleted you will know why.."Non-compliance on my part I guess"..I happen to believe in freedom of choice and free speech still and know that this may not be the view of other reading here.. 
 
Did you know that when I call the clinic they have a recording the states they are recordings all calls..someone emailed a message telling the doctor that I didn't feel that I needed to come in 30 minutes early and the doctor called asking me to make sure I come in early to prevent him from running behind. He said it upsets the other patients. So I am going in early. I never get upset when a doctor is running behind. I understand this happens and it is to be expected. I used to work in health care so I know some things take more time than others..

Davit,
 
I'm trying to do that around other stuff, but maybe today I was just tired.  Mom wasn't well since I put too much oil on the oven-cooked rapini.  And they were too crisp for her.  I think I'll buy a spray oil, since there's no point coating a container and then "tossing" the rapini around!
 
I wonder who these guys are who recommend it on "youtube"?   Then again, I have seen "chefs" do the same wasteful thing on tv.
 
My choice of oil wasn't good for the oven either, since I used extra virgin oil, which has a high boiling point.  Rapini can be cooked in the microwave, I understand, though, and this should leave them supple and moist, and easy to chew for a senior.
 
Maybe I should experiment first, with a bit, rather than getting a boycott of the entire vegetable. 
 
By the way, is that anxiety at work, since I've done the same thing in the past?  "It happened to me once so I'm not going to repeat the experience for....".
 
This is the social dynamic I grew up in and continue the pattern, but I'm getting better.

Mr Hugs.

The internet never sleeps, can you space it out between other things, that is what I'm doing. I never shut  it off so although it says I'm on line actually only the computer is. And I'm only here when I stop for tea or after dark if there is nothing to do in the house.

Davit.
