are a form of lying to oneself. In the example

has shifted from the person to Wal-Mart.
Dear Eric,
Ah...thanks for clearing most of that up!
But...you forgot my question about whether or not "Wal-mart" is draining the
lifeblood of the creative painter (who was and still is "great" at least in
the eyes of his family and close friends <g>) so that he can no longer paint
the murals on their walls as he used to do! (because of losing his job as a
computer programmer and finally deciding that he couldn't uproot his two
kids, one of whom is in special classes at school and is therefore thriving
and
his wife, at the least, is setting forth each day to feed the homeless and so,
by working at Walmart, they are taking care of their poor yet cheerful daught
er who is gradually getting the physical, occupational and speech therapy
that she needs and for the first time in her life has friends--and all because
of his job at Walmart--where they have that machine set up in the back (I've
been in their back rooms--Dept. 38, I think it is, that handles this category
of nefarious work) which is sucking the creative life out of each employee as
well as those who shop there...(note that mostly when Andy/Irene has posted
such posts as have annoyed Phil that she has often mentioned shopping at
Walmart--was it *really* Irene posting or the person drained of creative
energy
BECAUSE of Walmart...(please take this in the spirit that it's intended
Andy/Irene! <g> It's just for fun...and not to be taken personally! ie don't
go
to Walmart today! And, maybe Phil better not, either!)
Best,
Marlena
still pondering how fast the day has been moving...
