Re: Sleeping too much
Cranky with myself, can't find all the patches for the quilt to take to 'Crafty Quilters' gp tomorrow. Everything's such a mess here. So over it. Maybe I'll harness that energy to get ruthless & chuck chuck chuck stuff tomorrow.
Oh, that reminds me of a joke I heard, maybe here,
"The ladies of the church
have cast off clothing of every kind,
they may be seen
in the church basement this Friday."
I have enough clothes to cover a small village
Gotta do some serious casting off 🙂

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member Hi. Bummer you can't find quilt pieces. I can't find lots since I've moved in here too. I just posted (responded) to you in night shift before as well. 💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
Pray to find @Former-Member ..... then relax .... if you're visual, anger and panic shuts down short-term memory retrieval ....

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member my former husband had a psych major too ... hmmm.
I finally went to a psychologist rather than a psychiatrist at end of marriage and after i left him.
That clinician made the distinction of using the 'psychology' knowledge base for the self against others .. or being in the role of using the knowledge base for the BENEFIT of others.
That insight helped me recover from some aspects of my marriage.

Tried to get mpving but my muscles wont power & they hurt & I puff (so out of shape for my age). Didn't get to Crafty Quilters Gp, can't find all my stuff re so disorganised here (the depression etc). This is not my life, lol Best keep trying.
Back later.

inding this on the news this morning made me laugh. Reminds me of some discussions I had with my brother before he was diagnosed with schizophrenia & treated. Sometimes it really is hard to know what to believe. Love the bit at the end :). Anyway, just want to share it here:
Q&A: Professor Brian Cox takes on senator-elect Malcolm Roberts in climate change stoush
TUE AUG 16, 2016
Sourced from ABC news online
Brian Cox and Malcolm Roberts spar over climate change
There was a climate change showdown on Q&A last night when Professor Brian Cox and One Nation senator-elect Malcolm Roberts were guests on the panel.
INTRODUCING COX & ROBERTS:
Professor Brian Cox is a particle physicist and science communicator, best known for his BBC shows including Wonders of the Universe and Wonders of Life. (He's also a former pop musician but that's by the by.)
One Nation's Malcolm Roberts will represent Queensland in the Senate. He's worked in coal mining and has an honours degree in engineering and a masters degree in business administration.
BEST BITS FROM Q&A Y'DAY:
The night began with an audience question to the British physicist, asking him to address Mr Roberts' request for proof of a human element in climate change.
Here's how Professor Cox responded:
>
> "This is now a clear global problem. The absolute, absolute consensus is that human action is leading to an increase in average temperatures. I know you (Roberts) may try to argue with that, but you can't."
Round 1: A pause in global warming
Here's how Mr Roberts began his response:
>
> "We've had a pause in this so-called warming for now 21 years, depends how you measure it, 21 years.
>
> "Now I'm absolutely stunned that someone who inspired by Richard Feynman, a fantastic scientist who believes in empirical evidence, is quoting consensus."
Professor Cox:
>
> "I brought the graph.
> "Let me tell you where the pause is. The pause that's often quoted, if you take this point here, which is about 1997, I think, and you ignore 2015-2016. You can choose that point and you can draw a slightly straighter trend line on there. But that's a misunderstanding."
Round 2: A NASA conspiracy?
After some back and forth between the two, Q&A host Tony Jones stepped in:
>
> "Malcolm, you are hearing the interpretation of a highly qualified scientist and you're saying, "I don't believe that" — is that right?"
Malcolm Roberts:
> "I'm saying two things. First of all, that the data has been corrupted and we know..."
Professor Cox:
> "What do you mean by corrupted? What do you mean?"
Malcolm Roberts:
> "Been manipulated..."
Professor Brian Cox:
> "By who?"
Malcolm Roberts:
> "By NASA..."
Professor Cox:
> "NASA?!"
The audience began to laugh.
Tony Jones:
> "We have to hear what is being said here. It is all very well to laugh but we have to hear what is being said."
Malcolm Roberts:
> "Steve Goddard has shown the NASA figures and the graph was originally showing the 1930s were warmer than recent decades and that is correct. People have recognised that for many years. In the recent years they've been reversed so that the 1930s were reduced in temperature and the later periods were inflated in temperature. The Bureau of Meteorology is exactly the same. Greg Hunt squashed an investigation of the Bureau of Metrology earlier this year."
Professor Cox asked Roberts if he believed in the moon landing before delivering his point:
>
> "The idea that NASA — I should say to people, by the way, the Australian Academy of Science have done a brilliant — you can never get any sense on programs like this (Q&A), they're adversarial, but the Australian Academy of Science report is superb. I've brought it because I'm going to come and give it to you in a minute for you to have a read. The accusation that NASA, the Australian, the Met Office in the UK, everybody is collaborating to manipulate global temperature data..."
Malcolm Roberts:
> "Are you accusing me of saying they're collaborating?"
Professor Cox:
> "What, they've all manipulated it in the same way and accidently got to the same answer? Is that what you're saying?"
Round 3: The models
Professor Cox says we need to know what will the world be like in 2050, 2075, 2100:
>
> "If you don't model it. How can you go about trying to answer the question?"
Malcolm Roberts:
> "You answer the question by making projections based on models providing the models are validated and proven to be accurate. And the models have already been proven to be inaccurate and the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has recognised that and admitted it."
> "Now what we need to do is look at the empirical data. And the empirical data says quite categorically that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a result of temperature changes, not caused."
Professor Cox:
> "That's flat out wrong. That's a deception. It is flat out incorrect.
> "I took a snapshot of the different bits of evidence for 2015. Global upper ocean heat content highest on record in 2015. Global sea level, highest on record in 2015, 70mm higher than that observed in 1993. Global surface temperature highest on record, El Nino something like a 10-40 per cent contribution to that. Tropical cyclones well above average overall.
> "The key point is if you don't accept that the only way to try to formulate policy on what we do with emissions is to build models, that's the only way you can predict the future otherwise you have tarot cards and tea leaves."
