ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ...To Stop Gun Violence...

Repeal 2nd Amendment....
Enact Nation Wide Gun Laws. ( Like owning a gun & using it must e a certain age, and have certain training)
State Constitutions could prohibit the sale of guns, (If 2nd Amendment is repealed)
etc. etc. etc. etc. (Whatever it takes!!)

Possible Solution to shootings:"National Law that requires special training to own any kind of gun."

...And all gun owners must sign a pledge that they will "NOT KILL ANYONE WITH THE GUN UNLESS IT IS IN ..................... ............."a case of. "Self Defense.".....................................................

This won't happen, and that is why it is in ....."Creative Speculation."................................but this law could
reduce gun deaths significantly. (maybe)

Overeaters Anonymous Saved My Life..It is that simple

I started the program at about 215 pounds. Now I am about 150 to 145 pounds. I threw away the scale in the mid 80s.
(a few years into the program) The only time I get on the scale is at the doctor's office. I have lost over 60 pounds and
kept it off for over 40 years. I figure my weight out by my belt size and pant's size. Now, I am using the size pants I have not
used in forty years. Lowest wight I was a few years into the program. (those pants size) 32"inch waist, I once used 42" inch
size waist

...Why is this important? Don't ever give up. Keep going back, read more literature, go to another or different meeting.
Meet new people if it doesn't work out.


...Repeat: Don't Ever Give Up. If it takes a while, it takes a while.
...Repeat: Don't Ever Give UP. I AM ALIVE TODAY, BECAUSE OF 12 STEP PROGRAMS AND OA.

What if a jury decides Trump should..."be jailed." Will he have to go to jail??

OR, can the judge override the jury?...(I don't know).....

The "Trump Show" in a nutshell: Will they get him? Yes, Why? Did he break some laws? Yes!

When? Up to someone else, not me. All defendants have "Constitutional Rights."

That ain't up to me either. Takes time to prosecute someone.................
............ (and that is obvious to everyone watching this show!!!!)

Why is this .."Creative Speculation."?

............ ...It is the future, that's why.

Pete Santilli is much too stupid to know that he is very stupid.

Pete Santilli ,the right winger who broadcast that Obama should be executed, is much too stupid to know that he is...
......Very Stupid...

....Santilli is absolutely sure that there will be no consequences to what he said. Will there be? Will Santilli lose his job?
be arrested, be tried for his actions, go to prison?..He is sure that he can say what he wants to say.......

....There is a rule that I heard about a long time ago......"You cannot yell .."..Fire.." in a crowded movie theater.
That one restricts the Amendment to the Constitution that guarantees..."Freedom of Speech."..

...The courts have ruled that over and over. Santilli is so sure that he can get away with it, that he said this over
the air and there is a copy of him saying it. Evidence for the charges that Santilli was sure that would never come.
What do you think? Maybe I am wrong, and maybe I am right on this....Again, What do you think?

it is my opinion (speculation) that those who support Donald Trump....

...will in time, lose their political positions. All of them.
....... Why? Trump will ultimately be found "Guilty."
Trump will become a pariah The very worst. Supporting Donald Trump will be a losing position for all time.
(my opinion only, no proof at all)... And we will all see what happens in time.

How to Love Yourself ...(Maybe you know someone who needs to know these 11 ideas & Yes I do!)



HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF..
____________________________________________________________________________________________

1. STOP ALL CRITICISM.. Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize

yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes..When you

criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself your

changes are positive


2. DON'T SCARE YOURSELF.. Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts.

That is a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure, and

immediately switch your scare thoughts to a pleasure thought.

3 BE GENTLE AND KIND AND PATIENT. Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to

yourself Be patient with yourself as you learn the new way of thinking. Treat

as you would someone you really loved.

4. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND. Self hatred is only hating your own thoughts.

Don't hate yourself for having thoughts. Gently change your thought.


5. PRAISE YOURSELF...Criticism breaks down the inner sperit. Praise builds it

it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing

with every little thing


6 SUPPORT YOURSELF ...Find ways to support yourself Reach out to friends

and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.


7. BE LOVING TO YOUR NEGATIVES. Acknowledge that you created them to

to fulfill a need. Now that you are finding new positive ways to fulfill these

needs. So lovingly release the old negative patterns.


8. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY. Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel

does the body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise.

What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and revere the temple you live in.

9. BE VERY KIND TO YOURSELF. Yes, be kind to others, but be kind to

to yourself too.


10. MIRROR WORK. Look into your eyes often. Express this growing sense of

of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself looking into the mirror. Talk to

your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive them too. At least once a day

say, “I love you. I really love you.

11. LOVE YOURSELF. DO IT NOW. Don't wait until you get well, & lose the

weight, or get a new job or new relationship. Begin now, & "Do the best you can."

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know...... ..... And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
