Furry Fandom a therapy? Well yes it is a good point and tool to replace
a bad behavior with a better one and still be on the same plane in their
universe. And not of a lesser universe from where they felt they where!
Also it is a way to express yourself from the Deprivation Tank of a town
many might live in. So Furry Fandom is as I see it a way to express and
to be who you really are. And a needed thing!
What Furry will I be??? A Rabbit with a white fluffy tail only if my
love will be a bigger Rabbit also with a fluffy white tail as we all might
be chasing each others tails anyway. Compatible Rabbits! Healing!
And is ok to do so as the point about healing! Coming back better Humans!
Being in the Furry Fandom is not just a bunch of sex. It's about freeing the
innermost self, not staying in your confinement. It is about healing!

~~~~~Twin centers
What distinguishes Jungian psychology is the idea that there are two centers
of the personality. The ego
is the center of consciousness, whereas the
Self is the center of the
total personality, which includes consciousness,
the unconscious, and
the ego. The Self is both the whole and the center.
While the ego is a
self-contained little center of the circle contained within
the whole,
the Self can be understood as the greater circle.
Perils of the Self
Von Franz considered that "the dark side of the Self is the most
dangerous
thing of all, precisely because the Self is the greatest power
in the psyche.
It can cause people to 'spin' megalomanic
or other delusionary fantasies that
catch them up", so that the victim "thinks with mounting excitement that he has
grasped the great cosmic
riddles; he therefore loses all touch with human reality.
In everyday life, the Self may be projected onto such powerful figures as the
state, God, the universe or fate. When such projections are withdrawn,
there can be a destructive
inflation of the personality one potential
counterbalance to this
being however the social or collective aspects of the Self.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_in_Jungian_psychology
And so the social or collective aspects of the Self as Furry Fandom!
~~~~~The Furry community
The furry community, referred to by many as furry fandom, or just the
fandom,
is the virtual universe inhabited by all those who refer to
themselves as "Furries."
It is a separate entity from what many fans of furry
entertainment mean when they
use the term furry fandom. To a traditional
furry fan, furry fandom means fans
of furry characters, period. But the
community encompasses a great deal more
than just the fandom for furry
characters. It includes elements of religion, lifestyle
and philosophy.
"Furriness" is the action of doing anything related to the furry character of a person.

Albert Einstein, That Powerful, Universal, Governing Force is Love
As you might of guessed the powerful, universal, governing force is love!
World wide that will not go away!
Einstein had a open marriage along with friend Bertrand Russell.
So knowing about Polyamory you would know it's about love.
Being love has no borders so is why it's pointed to the universal, governing force!
Also to point at a "Quantum entanglement: is a physical phenomenon that
occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways
such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently
instead, a quantum state may be given for the system as a whole."
Relating to souls being entwined. Or in term the ring of life where many people
are connected through space and time. Like a soul mate, or the red string of fate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_string_of_fate
Connected in some past time or event in the future.
Being that a soul is more non linear than anything when you think about it.
Looking into the Quantum theory light.
So relating to being connected in a Quantum theory light love is connected and
as a force of many is one and the same in everyone as the same... LOVE!
Like in view say about time travel as in going back in time to kill Hitler.
So you kill Hitler and went back to your time only to find there was another Hitler
that took his place and did the same. The universal, governing force fixed it.
Being as it is we all are connected a Hitler was needed for us to have the good.
You can't have the good without the bad. And being connected through space and time
there was a correction go get us back in track. Deep?
We are talking about universal as in all, like the Galaxy!
So I need to note with no law or love the universal, governing force there is nothing
for all and nothing is nothing. Nothing is nothing so what are you to do if there is nothing?
Because being all connected time and space would not matter so there would be none!
~~~~~Albert Einstein to His Daughter: That Powerful, Universal, Governing
Force is Love
In the letter that follows, Albert Einstein poured out his true
feelings to his daughter. And what did he show? He showed that he knows
love the way this generation does, something he was reluctant to
acknowledge to his own generation. This letter, in my view, comes from
an enlightened man. I feel I understand Albert Einstein better for
having read it. Thank you, Mardell.
John Vibes, “Read A Letter Einstein Wrote To His Daughter About The Universal Force of Love,” True Activist, Feb. 29, 2016
When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and
what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with
the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.
I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades,
until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.
There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not
found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs
all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe
and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they
forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens
those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some
people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies
the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their
blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die.
Love is God and God is Love.
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the
variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid
of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not
learned to drive at will.
To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most
famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to
heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of
light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most
powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other
forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we
nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…
If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life,
if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it,
love is the one and only answer.
Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device
powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that
devastate the planet.
However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear
Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to
transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of
life.
I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart,
which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to
apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you
and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.
Your father,
Albert Einstein
Many have been seeing a flash of light in their room!
Strange as it is many have been seeing a flash
of light in their rooms,
or other places. What is it? I don't know if it has anything to do with
the Large Hadron Collider, Fermilab or Project Pegasus . Time travel etc,
it's just unknown. But there are some strange things going on at the LHC!
This kind of stuff when relating on the power of the LHC and noted
by what some are saying. Looking at it relating it does sort of has a light!
"He even said the LHC was developed using alien technology from another planet
by evil Illuminate scientists to 'interfere with time, open portals to other dimensions
and severe the link between good humans and the spiritual plane and divine
consciousness.'"
http://www.express.co.uk/news/science/613994/EXCLUSIVE-I-stopped-Large-Hadron-Collider-destroying-human-race-claims-ex-politican
"Some of the conspiracy theories about CERN have included that it is being used as a
portal to allow Satan to return to Earth."
http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/684219/What-is-CERN-doing-Bizarre-clouds-over-Large-Hadron-Collider-prove-portals-are-opening
Funny and mostly looked as BS! Yes but there are other issues of people saying
they seen a dark mass going after them or ran from them. I am leaning toward the view
of this kind of stuff. I would not say it's Satan but something unknown!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDukyTVrQWE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_person
Also the "evil Illuminate scientists" Could be a gray Alien group so the same of the sorts
so it's unknown who but it relates. Illuminate is just a name who are they?
All of this I see as a dog casing it's tail! There is a universal, governing force!

There is no severing the link between good humans and the spiritual plane
and divine consciousness. If they did they go also! It is or it's not at ALL!

There is no severing the link between good humans and the spiritual plane

Or unknown that I don't think it is but... It could be related to "Project Pegasus?"
Note the DARPA PROJECT PEGASUS as in Darpa that has come up with
the US Radar that Works Through Smoke, Clouds? More questions to ask!
http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/darpa-radar-sensors-defense-department/2017/10/02/id/817226
I also note that I think that Fermilab needs to be looked at!
Relating or not there are markers pointing it!
Noted is other strange effects that point to more of the same!
Strange lights / testing going in Utah. Could be related!
Other points / facts from the past just now coming to the light.
Sort of freaks me out when I look at it with mental rotation etc.
There are also other strange lights showing up also.
"On June 12 2015, I was out cycling and this strange light caught my attention.
So I stopped and got off my bike, pulled out my phone and started
recording this
strange light for over 2 minutes. After it was gone I rushed home to show my Family
and Friends what I just witnessed.
This was the strangest thing I have ever seen in my life."

*I am sure it's a St. Elmo's Fire but really its the humanistic movements that say it's not.
Not talked about much is the point that electricity has intelligence.
Noted by it finding the point of least resistance and is why the plasma moved under
control and jumped around.
http://www.onenewspage.com/video/20150622/3006318/Strange-Light-Beam-Appears-Above-the-Clouds.htm
Also strange is noted clearly to me as a light but up in the air.
Date of sighting: August 5, 2015 In Tulsa Oklahoma and also
over the Baltic Sea, Russia. And on August 20th in Sapulpa Oklahoma.

Glowing Cluster Of UFOs During Sunset Over Baltic Sea, Russia August 2015 UFO Sightings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x36W_ErhFU*But I need to note the light in Tulsa would relate to the flash of light seen by many.
Any for me would implicate the flash of light as a portal as it would have a point and
source to the flash of light. Noted with the UFO with the light in Sapulpa.
So I would say if you see a flash of light you may not want to go into it being you
will not know where the other end goes. It could be way up in the sky where you will
dropout. Is this something like a new way to abduct people?
But then why the offset flash / doorway noted up in the sky?

http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/people-vanishing-in-clusters-unexplained-whats-happening-video
Also strange "Extremely short, sharp flash of radio waves from unknown source in
the universe, caught as it was happening."
A strange phenomenon has been observed by astronomers right as it was
happening
a 'fast radio burst'. The eruption is described as an
extremely short, sharp flash of
radio waves from an unknown source in
the universe.
Something to think about "A new survey of downward terrestrial gamma ray flashes
suggests the rare electromagnetic phenomena is linked with cloud-to-ground lightning."
https://www.upi.com/Science_News/2018/05/17/Study-confirms-link-between-gamma-rays-lightning-strikes/8261526583038
*Noted because the short flash, like the flash of light people are seeing.
And being the flash of light might be a door / portal it goes both ways
and in that the fast radio burst came to us! Something is here! Freaky LOL!
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/01/150119083254.htm
Also noted is those light flashes / beam of light that have been hitting the earth.
That should be noted from the video there is a reflection of it off the car ahead.
A phone glitch rendered by the lightning possible but I don't see it at the same time
reflected off the car. In the norm with glitches would be one or the other.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPi5JlS_XFk
And noted video pointing to more of the strange flash of lights.
This brings up to me a good point of why the lights are centered.
Picking a place in time for the flash of light.

I don't know if this is the beyond the Government with their reverse UFO

Have no fear in it see it as "About time they turn the light on!" Or... They are hiding from
us because we are stronger then they are. They only have smoke and mirrors!
Points to the small abductions being many humans in one group would be stronger than
the few Aliens. And could be why they abduct so few in history.

I have to also note about a cursed car I had. When I finally traded in the car to a
dealership where my dad got the car from they where not happy to see it.
A car sales man yelled to the others "It's back!" and I saw people peeping through
the blinds. I don't know who it was but I think it was a sales man there told me a
story about the car, that the original owners of it said they where sitting on
their porch and said a portal opened like a garage door with a bright light inside it,
in their backyard and the car rolled out of it then the portal closed.
*That brings up a good point of things being like the movie:
Puts things into a new light! Well, listen to others stories it fits!

~~~~~Many people have been saying they seen strange flashes of light in a room:
About three days ago, I was lying on my back in bed on top of my covers
at
around 11 at night. I had been reading and writing things down in my
various journals
and was taking a short break. My bed is pushed against
a wall on its right side and as
I was looking up at the ceiling, I
suddenly saw a light turn on and then off about 6 inches
from the top
of the wall to my right and only a little but out of my center vision.
It was weird because it wasn't a flash. The timing that it had from
going on,
and then back to off was exactly the same as I remember
fireflies on the east coast
being, also with the same gradualness of
being on and off.
Didn't know what to make of this since there was no explanation for
that light being there.
Anyone heard of something similar?
http://www.alien-ufos.com/paranormal-consciousness-dreams-hypnosis/40138-strangle-light-my-room.html
About a week ago I went to bed the night of the light. Was about to
close my eyes when
on the wall a white light suddenly appeared, square
in dimension about a foot by a foot.
I blinked, moved my eyes around to
be sure it was not me seeing things and the light was
still planted in
the same spot. Then as fast as it came, it disappeared.
There is no way light can filter into my room from the outside if that
be the case.
I thought I would mention this if anyone else has had that
happen to them.
Hi.
We have spirits in our house that occasionally get active. Sometimes
when they do, very
tiny sparks or flashes of light can be seen if it's
a dark room. It's only lit for a micro fraction
of a second and because of that it's usually seen in the peripheral vision but sometimes
I'm
lucky and it sparks right where I happen to be looking.
The flash happens so quickly it is difficult to tell if it is
stationary or moving.
I might see a flash in one area, then another a
few feet away a couple seconds
later at random but I can't tell if it's
the same "Thing".
The light seems to be localized to what ever it is causing it. I mean
to say the light
does not illuminate anything around it, just itself.
It makes no noise
they're completely silent.
They don't flash against a surface (They're not projections on a wall)
but in mid air.
Other people see the odd event as well and sometimes they are more noticeable than
other times. They happen in the height of other
unexplainable events then disappear as
the events end so I believe the
two to be linked.
Have anybody experienced something like that?
Any ideas what it may be?
My wife and I are currently staying in a holiday apartment in France
and a couple
of days ago we think we started seeing the same white
flashes in our baby's room
at night. We know there's no possibility of
external light sources as our baby's room is
completely blacked out at
night with shutters closed outside the window, blackout covers
inside
the window and curtains drawn. The first time my wife told me about it
I just
dismissed it saying the door must have been open while she was
in there and I must have
been going to the bathroom at the same time
but she swore it was a white light like a
camera flash that lit up the
entire baby's room from the inside rather than a sweeping
yellowish light like that from another room. She was wide awake at the time and
said
she saw everything in the room. Then I remembered I had been in
the room with the
baby a few nights before and although my eyes had been shut I saw a bright flash
through my eyelids but when I opened my
eyes it was dark. At the time I was
convinced my wife had walked in and
flicked the lights on but since there was no-one
there and it was dark when I opened my eyes I just put it down to being tired and
didn't
think much more of it until my wife saw the flash. We got a bit freaked
out as
my wife is a little superstitious and started putting ideas into
my head about paranormal
stuff so we swapped rooms with our baby and
tried to stay awake so we could catch
it happening again but it hasn't
happened again so far.

Eyes of a Stranger
There is that saying you can't have the good without the bad!
If crap happens then it's just crap... For now! Really does it matter?
To who? The question is are you willing to be in your own personal hell
or grab that rope next to you to get to greener grass!
Looking in the mirror to the eyes of the stranger. Is noted to the point
everything changes. And the point is to know what to take serious
about it. The bad happens grab hold of the good. In the bad know where
it is taking you!
Love is a better foundation so knowing the eyes of the stranger makes
no stranger as you find the support, love and openness seeing what
not knowing takes you! Ask where is that cliff really taking you...
Get over it, your fears to say "Cliff? Whatever, I got a rope for that!"
~~~~~Who are you and Where are you Going?
Have you ever stared at the person you see in the mirror and wondered how you got to where you are?
There’s all the sacrifice, all the hard work to achieve the good life
and then all of a sudden you wonder why. We all go through periods of
reflection to confront bits of us we had previously ignored.A busy life can hinder us from reacquainting ourselves with who we really are. We live in an ever changing world. New technologies and inventions constantly assault our senses and challenge the very notion of who we are.
Transition and self-worth
Transitions in life often force us to slow down and take a step back to reassess our lives. Entering another phase of life can be rather unsettling and stressful whether you are clocking 30 years of age or 50 and beyond. Because of our society’s obsession with youth and beauty, growing old is not usually welcome. There is no escape. As long as we live, we will eventually age.
For a woman with many family responsibilities and a demanding job outside the home, it can be rather tough. When the children grow up and start school or leave home, parents, especially mothers, can find themselves thrown into a crisis simply because they built their sense of self-worth on the wrong foundation.
Take stock
After years of ignoring who you really are, it is important to give yourself time to take stock. Is your life uneventful and dull? It needn’t be. Discovering your feelings, what you want and the possibilities that lie ahead of you will rejuvenate you.
Set goals
Self-depreciating thoughts do us no good. Build a sense of self-worth by setting out goals for yourself. As you move forward to greater things, allow yourself to enjoy the sophistication and confidence that maturity brings.
Inject excitement into your life
Create opportunities for social interaction and learn something new. As you expand your social circle, you’ll find that you inject excitement into your life which can be carried on to those around you.
Working within your circumstances will give you a jump-start and a sense of direction for the next phase in your life. You can then be thankful for your experiences because it is our experiences that mold us. Years later, you can look back on your transition in life and know that you have passed through another of life’s tests.

Trump Flippity Floppity Floop Pee in your Closet
Trump did tell car makers he's an environmentalist but flop he changes again!
This is something many noticed with Trump about his flip flops!
It's like he forgot where his home is sort of piss ass coming in your house
pissing in your closet! WTF! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tyct9l-fD8
And so it's again with the oil pipelines! So can we trust Trump well...
Looking in to his past flip's it is clear that we can't.
To me I don't trust what he says as to me he is catering to stupid people
and life does not revolve around stupid as it makes others lives lower.
Like quicksand expecting everyone to lower themselves to some heap of crap.
Just because they cut off their leg to save their toe does not mean you have to also!
~~~~~Resurrection of Keystone and DAPL cements America's climate antagonism
If there were any lingering doubts over Donald Trump’s enthusiasm for
shoving the US back into the smoggy embrace of fossil fuels, his
decision to revive the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines banishes them utterly.Trump has thrown down the most provocative gauntlet possible to the environmental movement, which now sees its worst fears crystalizing within a few days of the inauguration. Those Trump Tower chats with Al Gore about climate change – and Ivanka Trump’s apparent concern over the issue – now vanish over the horizon. This will be an aggressively pro-oil and gas administration, even if that means boiling the planet.
“Simply put, Donald Trump is who we thought he is: a person who will sell off Americans’ property and tribal rights, clean air and safe water to corporate polluters.”
The resurrection of the Keystone XL pipeline will cause particular anguish among climate activists. Protests over the plan to run the 1,200-mile pipeline from the Canadian tar sands to Texas dogged Barack Obama throughout his presidency. Finally, in 2015, Obama announced that the pipeline would not go ahead, stating that the refusal showed the US is “now a global leader when it comes to taking serious action to fight climate change”.
That climate leadership is now in danger of being eroded, at a time when the world’s major polluters must drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions if the world is to avoid dangerous global warming. The tribes and other groups that fought for years against Keystone will now to have to wearily re-enter the fray against TransCanada, the company behind the project. Following Obama’s refusal, TransCanada sued the US for $15bn under the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Trump has invested in Energy Transfer Partners, the company behind Dakota Access, but his spokesman has claimed, without providing evidence, that the president has now removed this conflict of interest.
During the 2016 election campaign Trump promised to revive large energy projects and promised a “a big piece of the profits” for the American people. Republicans staunchly opposed Obama’s restrictions on oil and gas development, claiming they held back the US economy. Now, more extraction looks likely to get the green light, such as drilling the Arctic Ocean, which Obama banned in his final days in office.
Activists are still trying their best to sound defiant. “It’s a dark day for reason, but we will continue the fight,” said Bill McKibben, co-founder of climate activist group 350.org.
“This is not a done deal. The last time around, TransCanada was so confident they literally mowed the strip where they planned to build the pipeline, before people power stopped them. People will mobilize again.”

Walmart changing attendance policy productivity vs pay
Due to Trump deregulating businesses I am sure Walmarts attendance
will change for the better of the corporation and stock holders not the workers.
It's like having the boss that never gives raises in power in DC!
This is something to be aware of!
http://theslot.jezebel.com/your-guide-to-trumps-very-white-very-rich-very-fright-1791420340
***Walmart is changing its paid time off policies for its employees, and will start paying bonuses to workers who limit their absences.
The goal is to give incentives to workers who show up every day, while building in protections for people who have no choice but to miss work.
Currently, hourly workers can miss up to 9 days every six months for unexpected absences. Walmart is cutting that to 5 under the new policy, which will take effect this weekend. The policy around vacation days is not changing.
On top of the 5 days every six months, workers will start receiving up to 6 days a year of "protected PTO." Those days can be used to cover illnesses and emergencies, such as a flat tire or taking care of sick kids or family members.
The difference is the protected PTO won't count against workers' attendance records. Even workers who take all 6 days can be eligible for the new attendance bonus. They won't get the bonus, however, if they dip into the pool of 5 additional days every six months.
For example, an entry-level Walmart sales associate making the company's $11-an-hour minimum wage could mean an additional $550 at the end of a quarter. Hourly store supervisors could make up to $900.
Doubling down on benefits
Walmart, the country's largest private employer, says 300,000 part- and full-time hourly workers already have attendance records that would qualify them for the new bonuses.
"We have core associates that we want to reward for going above and beyond," Drew Holler, vice president of associate experience for Walmart US, told CNN Business.
Walmart is doubling down on benefits to attract and keep its top talent. At the same time, it believes the new program won't add a lot to its costs.
The company faces intense pressure from investors to keep down costs. Last year, Walmart raised the minimum wage for all of its 1.1 million hourly workers.
"Walmart is trying to be creative. Workers are already showing up, and this is not a big cost," said Stephanie Luce, professor of labor studies at the City University of New York. "It's a way to make a positive gesture without really breaking the bank."
Walmart believes the bonuses will boost attendance. The reduction in days off was designed to "drive accountability and raise expectations for that small set of associates that do have an attendance problem," Holler said.
Unplanned absences disrupt Walmart because workers have to change their routines and pick up the extra slack. That often can trickle down to poor customer service on the sales floor, which frustrates shoppers.
But Eddie Iny, campaigns director for workers' advocacy group Organization United for Respect, worries about a possible risk with the new attendance incentives: Workers showing up sick to the job.
Walmart has faced criticism and lawsuits for punishing workers for medical- and pregnancy-related absences. OUR Walmart, a campaign run by United for Respect, had circulated a petition online calling on the company to provide at least six days of paid PTO for unplanned sicknesses.
Advocacy group A Better Balance filed a class action lawsuit in New York last year alleging that Walmart's absence policy discriminated against pregnant workers. Walmart has denied the allegations. The lawsuit is pending.
The company's new policy seems to be a big improvement, said Dina Bakst, co-founder of A Better Balance. She said A Better Balance would follow the changes closely.
Wage hike and paid leave
The new policies follow Walmart's recent efforts to improve pay and benefits for workers.
Last year, in addition to raising the minimum wage to $11 an hour, Walmart expanded paid maternity and paternity leave for full-time hourly workers.
Separately, Walmart revamped its scheduling system to give workers more consistent hours and allow them to swap shifts with coworkers.
Those efforts have helped Walmart bring turnover to a five-year low, Holler said. The company has struggled with high turnover in the past, which is expensive for Walmart because it has to pay to train new workers.
Unemployment in the United States has fallen to its lowest level in decades. As the retail job openings rate remains above the national average, Walmart wants to attract top-tier associates to work for the company.
At the same time, Walmart (WMT) faces pressure from rivals like Target (TGT), which raised its minimum wage to $12 an hour last year and plans to move to $15 an hour by the end of 2020. Amazon (AMZN) announced in October that it would raise its minimum wage to $15 for all US employees.
"It's a tight labor market and they want to be able to compete for the best workers," said Laura Kennedy, retail analyst at Kantar Consulting.
Walmart, a frequent target of labor activists, also seems to be trying to get ahead of legislative trends and boost its image.
More cities and states are passing minimum wage legislation and mandating paid leave. In 2017, Oregon became the first state in the country to require that employers give workers their schedules at least a week in advance.
"They would rather have their own policies, rather than be legislated and told what to do," Luce said.

Walmart changes a lot so this info on attendance should be not taken as stone!
When I worked at Walmart 2006 ish their attendance policy was
you could not miss more than seven 8 hour days out of 6 months,
7 working days out of 182.5 days you will get fired, no
matter what, numbers are numbers, you missed 7 days!
I quit because I was sick with something that came from
outside the US. It was a trail mix that got me.
But I ended up missing too many days even that I was really
sick with something the Doctors didn't know what it was.
Walmart at the time did not accept Doctor work releases.
So I was out and I quit because of them not being fair,
with me being fair from not working sick with something
unknown with all the people that shop and co-workers and
my Doctor not wanting me to work without knowing
what I had. But for me... oh well!
Walmart has a new attendance policy coming.
I agree with the 10 min being late vs the past of 15 min late
being the teamwork and other co-workers that would work
with you. Unless you walk without a car in that 15+ min
would be needed as the walk to work would not be standard
sometimes. Like bad weather etc.
I am concerned about the sick time Walmart needs to accept
work releases being a sick worker is really bad being how
public Walmarts are. If you are sick you should not be
working sick touching everything etc.
There is too many people coming and going in a Walmart.
Added to the risk of unknowns that might be packaged in the
boxes the workers are opening that came from or has other
ingredients outside of the US. Would you like to get a cold from
Walmart making you miss days from work yourself?
For those that don't want to get sick from a sick worker that is forced
to work sick or get fired let Walmart know!

PTO
Walmart and Sam’s Club are launching a new, simplified PTO policy, effective March 5, 2016 that will streamline paid vacation, sick time, personal time and holiday time into one category. And the one-day wait to use sick time will be eliminated, as promised. When the plan rolls out in March, both full- and part-time associates will earn PTO based on tenure and hours worked.
The plan includes:
No waiting. PTO is available to use as soon as it’s earned and can be used for almost any reason. Full-time hourly associates can carry over up to 80 hours (48 hours for part time) of PTO from year to year.
Any unused hours at the end of the year above the 80 hour and 48 hour limits will automatically be paid to hourly associates in the first paycheck every February.
Associates will also keep any existing and accrued sick and personal time. These balances will be kept separate, to be used for certain circumstances once all available PTO is used.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
In addition to PTO, Walmart is providing a new, Short Term Disability Basic plan at no cost to full-time hourly associates. Effective Jan. 1, 2016, the plan offers more financial protection to workers who need to be away from work for an extended period of time due to their own medical needs such as an illness, injury or having a baby. The basic plan will pay 50 percent of a worker’s average weekly wage, up to $200, for up to 26 weeks. Walmart is also offering a Short Term Disability Enhanced plan, which costs less than the company’s prior voluntary plan and provides more coverage. Associates would receive up to 60 percent of their average weekly wage with no weekly maximum for up to 26 weeks.
Walmart’s associate investment is about more than wages and benefits: it is designed to provide associates the tools they need to grow with the company and provide great customer service. The company is also creating new training programs, which will create clear career paths from entry-level positions to jobs with more responsibility and higher pay.
http://news.walmart.com/news-archive/2016/01/20/more-than-one-million-walmart-associates-receive-pay-increase-in-2016
***Note to any Walmart workers if you have to vent / have a issue let me know
from E-mail or outside of work. I will listen to you just let me know.
And know you have rights over Walmart you don't have to be a wage slave
with them. Or also you can call Walmart let them know what does not work,
they do want to know! Keep in mind they have the best interest relating to the
stocks / sales they don't care about you! But there are power in numbers showing
by the workers going in strike and the changes coming from such.
http://www.workplacefairness.org/reports/good-bad-wal-mart/supreme.php
I hope Walmart will settle down and let the workers work so they
can "deliver the juice!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7-L7CG8_hY
There is no time or the days of "The Crunch" should end!
Being called in the office for whatever stupid it might be!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RqWkZvjzLA
Deliver the juice as in the "Revenue Per Employee."
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/revenueperemployee.asp
For Walmart that is around $209,000 + - And that is respected
for the workers to put out so much! And needs to be recognized
by the managers up!!!!!!!
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/wmt
Doing what they do they should be making over $18 to $20 an hour!
If the wages would of been inline with the productivity the pay would
of been better.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/13/minimum-wage-productivity_n_2680639.html
http://www.epi.org/publication/charting-wage-stagnation
In fact you can make a $10,000 wage increase! "Most Walmart workers can only dream
of making $25,000 in a year. Meanwhile, the Waltons get $25,000 per minute from their Walmart dividends alone."
"The Waltons, using their their investment income alone, could fund a permanent $10,000 wage increase for the 1 million hourly store associates whose work generates Walmart’s profits."
http://walmart1percent.org/how-rich-are-the-waltons
I believe the workers need to be paid fair noted from that.
Walmart makes money shown by the stocks and growth so
better pay is nothing to Walmart being the about $500 billion made!
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/05/12/the-largest-retailer-in-history-how-walmart-sales.aspx
If you been in any food place you might of noticed the workers are
hitting the wall. As in getting the order wrong, slow, etc.
Half-ass? Well half-ass is better than no ass at all!
Workers all over are seeing the fact they are working far more
than they are paid. Points to "In Praise of Idleness."
http://www.zpub.com/notes/idle.html
But I also have to note the pay will and has to go up as the lack of sales
is pulling down many towns! The growth is stopped by the lack of sales,
broke people doing without. http://newsok.com/article/5505468
***Note those days like what I did at Walmart when we where harassed
by the harassed support managers to get it done, I kicked over a 7ft
juice pallet in the aisle because of the productivity harassment they where giving.
Delivering the juice! Please don't do that, those days are passed!
will change for the better of the corporation and stock holders not the workers.
It's like having the boss that never gives raises in power in DC!

Associates will also keep any existing and accrued sick and personal time. These balances will be kept separate, to be used for certain circumstances once all available PTO is used.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
In addition to PTO, Walmart is providing a new, Short Term Disability Basic plan at no cost to full-time hourly associates. Effective Jan. 1, 2016, the plan offers more financial protection to workers who need to be away from work for an extended period of time due to their own medical needs such as an illness, injury or having a baby. The basic plan will pay 50 percent of a worker’s average weekly wage, up to $200, for up to 26 weeks. Walmart is also offering a Short Term Disability Enhanced plan, which costs less than the company’s prior voluntary plan and provides more coverage. Associates would receive up to 60 percent of their average weekly wage with no weekly maximum for up to 26 weeks.
Walmart’s associate investment is about more than wages and benefits: it is designed to provide associates the tools they need to grow with the company and provide great customer service. The company is also creating new training programs, which will create clear career paths from entry-level positions to jobs with more responsibility and higher pay.

***Note to any Walmart workers if you have to vent / have a issue let me know
from E-mail or outside of work. I will listen to you just let me know.
And know you have rights over Walmart you don't have to be a wage slave
with them. Or also you can call Walmart let them know what does not work,
they do want to know! Keep in mind they have the best interest relating to the
stocks / sales they don't care about you! But there are power in numbers showing
by the workers going in strike and the changes coming from such.

I hope Walmart will settle down and let the workers work so they
can "deliver the juice!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7-L7CG8_hY
There is no time or the days of "The Crunch" should end!
Being called in the office for whatever stupid it might be!

Deliver the juice as in the "Revenue Per Employee."
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/revenueperemployee.asp
For Walmart that is around $209,000 + - And that is respected
for the workers to put out so much! And needs to be recognized
by the managers up!!!!!!!
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/wmt
Doing what they do they should be making over $18 to $20 an hour!
If the wages would of been inline with the productivity the pay would
of been better.

http://www.epi.org/publication/charting-wage-stagnation
In fact you can make a $10,000 wage increase! "Most Walmart workers can only dream
of making $25,000 in a year. Meanwhile, the Waltons get $25,000 per minute from their Walmart dividends alone."
"The Waltons, using their their investment income alone, could fund a permanent $10,000 wage increase for the 1 million hourly store associates whose work generates Walmart’s profits."
http://walmart1percent.org/how-rich-are-the-waltons
I believe the workers need to be paid fair noted from that.
Walmart makes money shown by the stocks and growth so
better pay is nothing to Walmart being the about $500 billion made!
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/05/12/the-largest-retailer-in-history-how-walmart-sales.aspx
If you been in any food place you might of noticed the workers are
hitting the wall. As in getting the order wrong, slow, etc.
Half-ass? Well half-ass is better than no ass at all!
Workers all over are seeing the fact they are working far more
than they are paid. Points to "In Praise of Idleness."
http://www.zpub.com/notes/idle.html
But I also have to note the pay will and has to go up as the lack of sales
is pulling down many towns! The growth is stopped by the lack of sales,
broke people doing without. http://newsok.com/article/5505468
***Note those days like what I did at Walmart when we where harassed
by the harassed support managers to get it done, I kicked over a 7ft
juice pallet in the aisle because of the productivity harassment they where giving.
Delivering the juice! Please don't do that, those days are passed!

Hundreds of Thousands Attend Women's Marches Across U.S., World
The people are speaking to let it be known to not take it away from them!
Why are these people all over the world protesting? Must be some reason?
Healthcare: Dr. Trinka Coster, a retired Army colonel, said
she was marching because she wants all Americans to get the same "socialized medicine"
that soldiers and veterans get. "I'm just glad I retired in July," she said of Trump's
elevation to commander in chief.
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/inauguration-2017/women-s-march-washington-echoed-cities-around-world-n710156
Getting rid of the mandate for insurance will unleash as I see 60 million people
dropping their insurance for a bigger paycheck. "What about the people that
will die without it? = They don't put food on my table!" That is how it is and why
they should leave ObamaCare alone it's better than nothing!
Give it the question "why have insurance if you can't afford to use it."
But then the reply to that is why do those people that get hurt with it make
children wages? Why can't people make money and just pay for it not adults
at $7 after taxes pay! Why Kill healthcare over that?
What if they killed NASA just because of a fire on Apollo 1?
We would be backward thinkers! Now backward thinkers with healthcare?
"Oh, no there was some astronauts that died in a fire, lets abolish NASA!"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1
The many people around the world are out there for no reason at all!
NO! People are looking at Trump messing up even their country.
"No man is an island. No one is self-sufficient; everyone relies on others."
Going into a isolationist management not knowing about actions, reactions,
cause and effect is the same as going blindfolded walking across the highway
too stupid to know there are cars driving there also!
Building a wall in Mexico when we all live in different times these days
is stupid! There is something called a airport where like say I would go to
and buy a ticket to fly into Mexico... Well I do not want to walk or drive across
Texas to get to Mexico so I fly in a plane. It's the same for Mexico coming here!
What is the cost of the wall who will guard it repair it etc?
I guess you could make it out of cardboard to save money!
Also stupid is Trump's attacks and comments of women. Putting them down
not lifting them up! Where is the vibrancy Trump gives?
Also for me I ask why support a President that's campaign catered to
stupid people? "Cater Done!" Pass the "hamburger meat!" Do you want those
people running the Government? I don't and is why I did not want to see
Trump's inauguration. I turned it off as soon as I saw people with cowboy
hats on. I was expecting to see people with confederate flags there!

Why are these people all over the world protesting again? No reason all over the world!
DUR!!! It's like the Trump types can't have a evolution the bottleneck is holding them
back it's too small... Can't get there!

What if Hillary talked like Trump
I don't know but with me I thought a lot about what if Hillary or women talked
like Trump or somewhat like? I am a sick man, but the point is about
Trump running the government being the way he is... He is unfit to run!
This is what we have in office now so you see why many are boycotting
Trump's inauguration. And also for me I don't want to see banjos being
played at the capital! I do expect to see some people with confederate flags there!
Anyway... This is something to think about really!

Building Trust in Open Relationships
Being in love with a married lady might be seen as bad being as norm.
But having a other with the best interest of the wife is a good thing.
Love is of a higher value than just horny, heated going to forgotten
and a regret of why did I do it! There is also a why didn't I do it, kind
of regret... hurt, hurt!
But the point is it's about her best interest in mind, and to not hurt but to have that
what is needed for the wife. The wife being supported and loved and the change and
outlook from that is way worth it!
Being who you are is worth it, not locked
up with a husband spending the rest of
his life trying to control the wife.
And in her spending her life trying to
control her life and her needs.
It's a mental unbalance of
their personal hell! People in hell
wants ice and how long is the wait?
The wife is not the husbands personal
slave. Really try saying to your
wife "I love you so much I want you to
be my personal slave being a slave
with no one but me!" True and a point
of her being a prisoner.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS_PEAr7FD0
The better option for all is to be open and that is open talk with each other!
It's knowing it will be good for her and seeing the good in her.
This is the trust part! And I do need to say if you can't trust the wife
then you will have to join her as the point is not to abandon her.
Let her get what she needs in a open relationship.
The wife having her needs met makes all better than not being met making
everything worse for all! Support is better than not having any!
Trust is a beautiful thing, following the agreements seeing the change
in the wife walking down the road of life learning also and it's good for all.
The same as her other giving love and support is also like being her
rubber ducky and being ok with that! Her duckling and her knowing it is hers
in a hard time in need! Healing!
~~~~Building Trust in Open Relationships
Trust is the cornerstone of every good relationship. It is the foundation of a strong bond.
To trust another person is to feel a sense of security that someone has your back, the confidence that they’ll be there for you when you need them, and the comfort of knowing that whatever you face in life, you’re not alone. Trust is a bedrock of emotional support, a catalyst for open and honest communication, and one of the most important aspects of an open relationship.
How Do You Build Trust In Open Relationships?
Act With Integrity
In monogamous relationships, trust and integrity are bound to emotional and physical monogamy with a partner. To break this monogamy would severely compromise the trust in the relationship. The prerequisite of monogamy doesn’t hold in open relationships, however conducting yourself with integrity is even more important in building trust, simply because negative feelings like jealousy, fear of abandonment, and not measuring up are far more likely to crop up in non-traditional relationships.Many of the negative emotions we experience in our relationships manifest because of our fear of the unknown. Uncertainty surfaces when we can’t predict with reasonable accuracy how our partners will act in a given situation. This uncertainty breeds fear and distress as our minds automatically jump to the worst case scenario. This is especially true when trust is low, communication is poor, or the relationship is new and you’re still getting to know one another. Over time, we construct mental schemas of our partners based on experience. Assuming that the relationship is a healthy one, uncertainty diminishes as we get to know our partners more intimately and refine our predictions accordingly. Until that stage however, our predictions are cobbled together from our previous relationship experiences, social and cultural norms, and projection of our own values and fears onto our partners. Whenever our partners conform to our positive predictions, trust grows. When they fall short, our trust and confidence in them and in the relationship is shaken. When our expectations are seriously violated, trust is shattered.
One way to reduce uncertainty and dissolve emotional negativity is to act with integrity. By acting in a way that is consistent with the boundaries of your particular relationship and your partner’s emotional wellbeing, you build a track record of trust. With a strong bond of trust, your partner can be confident in the knowledge that you will act in their best interests and not hurt them.
Although you may consistently operate within your relationship boundaries, there will always be times in a relationship – especially an open relationship – where uncertainty is unavoidable. It’s impossible to define every single relationship boundary upfront, but situations with no pre-established boundaries are no excuse for breaking your partner’s trust. If an explicit boundary does not exist, common sense should prevail. Whenever you find yourself in uncharted relationship territory, consider the following questions:
- Would I say or do this if my partner were here, sitting right next to me?
- How would I feel if my partner did to me what I’m considering?
If the answers are “no” and “hurt”, then it’s immediately apparent where the ethical choice and the right choice for maintaining a healthy, trusting relationship lies.
Communicate Your Intentions Clearly
In Western society, the typical relationship prototype is a heterosexual monogamous relationship with a view to life partnership, marriage, and having children. Whether or not you personally identify or agree with this particular relationship style is irrelevant; this is the default assumption that will be bestowed upon you by partners unless you explicitly declare otherwise. If your ideal relationship falls outside of these parameters and you cannot or choose not to conform to the default, then make sure that you are damn clear about that upfront. There’s no faster way to destroy trust than to violate someone’s deeply held expectations of their relationship with you.Your choice to deviate from a vanilla relationship style will sometimes mean that the people who you want to connect with will choose not to connect with you. Not everyone wants the same things out of their relationships, and other people have the absolute right to connect or disconnect from you based on whether your desires match their own. Be prepared for this, and do not fall into the trap of sugar-coating your intentions based on your hormones. Never lie to people just to get what you want. Pay them the respect of being honest with them about your desires and expectations. Your personal integrity and another person’s emotional wellbeing are worth far more than an inauthentic connection.
Be Your Authentic Self
When you’re just starting out in a relationship, it’s standard practise to be on your best behaviour. Putting your best foot forward is just good marketing. Taking an interest in things which you haven’t previously been exposed to is open-minded and pro-growth. These things are a far cry from pretending to be someone you’re not. Lying about yourself, your past, circumstances, intentions, desires, interests or anything else with a view to coerce or manipulate another person for your own gain is underhanded, deceitful, and the height of disrespect to your partner.If you need to lie about or hide anything from your partner for fear that they’ll leave you if they knew, then they don’t love YOU. They may love the mask that you’re showing them, but you know deep down that it’s just a mask. You’ll never have that security or peace of mind that comes from someone knowing and loving the REAL you.
Wouldn’t you rather be with someone who loves and accepts the real you, as opposed to someone whose feelings for you are built upon a foundation of lies?
Listen to Understand
It’s a fact of life that you and your partner will have the occasional misunderstanding. They’ll take something you say or do the wrong way. They’ll have an unwavering point of view on a subject that is bewilderingly uninformed. They’ll react to a benign situation with jealousy, anger, or distress. They’ll be upset because you’ve neglected to do something that is of negligible importance to you, but vitally important to them. At some stage during your relationship, you’ll experience all of the above and more. Regardless of how off-base or irrational you deem your partner’s feelings to be, to your partner those feelings are both real and intense. Hear them out and work through them together if you want to keep the lines of honest communication open, your trust strong, and your relationship healthy. It doesn’t matter if you disagree with your partner’s opinion. Agreement is not a prerequisite to attentive listening, compassion, and desire to understand a point of view that differs from your own. When we feel threatened emotionally or physically, we default to a flight-or-fight mentality which is counter-productive to healthy communication. Instead of running or attacking, try to realise that your partner just wants to be heard and understood. Sweeping misunderstandings under the carpet doesn’t make them go away. Nor does angrily backing your partner into the “you’re-wrong-and-an-asshole” corner and giving it to them both barrels loaded. So give your partner a safe forum to discuss their concerns without judgment or anger and to have their feelings validated and respected. Treat them with the same love and respect as what you would want them to show you if the roles were reversed.Go for Win-Win
Relationships are not competitive. When you fall prey to the I’m right/you’re wrong dichotomy, you’re left with a corrosive power imbalance that will eat away at the relationship. Generally, the most stubborn, aggressive, or dominant personality will get their way in a relationship, while the easygoing, passive or submissive personality will concede in order to keep the peace. If you are the stronger personality in the relationship, these interactions may feel like a temporary win. You get “one-up” and “your way”, but there are hidden costs to these win-lose interactions that slink by unnoticed. A consistent win-lose approach will drive cracks of resentment deep into your relationship’s foundation and chip away at your bond of trust. Power dynamics within a relationship are difficult to shift once established, and without due care that both parties are equally represented in conflict resolution, the relationship is in for one hell of a rude shock once the under-represented party blows their stack. Instead of trying to be top-dog and win arguments to your partner’s detriment, try guiding your disagreements towards a more constructive win-win approach. With win-win thinking, both partners feel heard and respected rather than resentful and downtrodden. Often, it is possible to reach a compromise in which both parties come away happy and have their needs met.Trust takes persistence and cumulative, sustained effort to build, but only an instant to break. Don’t let the hard work you put into building a great relationship be ripped apart at the seams by a moment of thoughtlessness.
