(www.Gratitude-experiment.com) He is also the producer of the film The Opus. This will be an interesting film as it will tackle many of the questions left behind by the law of attraction presentations that have come thus far. Many of them have hinted at science, but scientific people have dismissed these claims as bogus. I think this will be a really interesting film to finally answer the question once and for all.trudynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-81301387032484273812008-07-11T16:27:00.000-07:002008-07-11T16:27:00.000-07:00What is interesting (or not..) is that the game of...What is interesting (or not..) is that the game of telephone (in France we call it "téléphone arabe" probably in a subtly racist way) is typically a proof that a message repeated through enough ears and mouths will get distorted beyond recognition.<BR/><BR/>So did your friend really help you by reguessing what was the original word ? Or was he just cheating at the "game".<BR/><BR/>But anyway it sounds better that way and you were probably terrified :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-39444754106197493772008-05-23T08:12:00.000-07:002008-05-23T08:12:00.000-07:00Keep on blogging Niniane!Keep on blogging Niniane!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-84602723776724502412008-05-22T11:20:00.000-07:002008-05-22T11:20:00.000-07:00while it wouldn't compare to your story, which was...while it wouldn't compare to your story, which was wonderful -- I too am blown away by the crystal-clear memories of kind things that classmates did for me during elementary school; I should mention also that one reason I love your blog is that it's so diverse & unpredictable -- but always so well written!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-86763449834187345252008-05-22T11:08:00.000-07:002008-05-22T11:08:00.000-07:00You're lucky.

To the first asian student that I sat across from in class (I thought she spoke my language) I said hi in mandarin, and in disgust and shock, she looked me like I was an alien. Her name was Josephine. I was so traumatized.<BR/><BR/>Throughout that awful 6th grade, the person who showed me the most grace and kindness was a red-haired American girl with frackles called Jennifer. She was so cool, popular and cute. She helped me feel special and welcomed. So in her honor, 26 years later, here I just want to say a sincere thanks to Jennifer from Queens NY in Mr. Black's 6th grade class!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230750.post-87528700002121583802008-05-21T16:56:00.000-07:002008-05-21T16:56:00.000-07:00That was lovely.I teared up a little.
