I can tell from personal experience, that the opposite, turning an ex-superstar down is to challenge evil. To what extent someone, who are used to get their ego stroked and worshipped of mostly everyone through a lifetime, can go when you show strong boundaries are unimaginable.Turned you down did she?
But I must say that it have made me aware of how people like Adolf Hitler for instance even can rise to such power and manipulate people to that extent. The tools are the same that are used for ego in just different ways. A far from pleasant experience, but a great expansion for consciousness.
Well said. I had to get a restraining order against Shakira!
After WWI Germany was well primed for the likes of Hitler. People seem to look back and underestimate him and his charisma.

Life's Little Mysteries --
#1 -- Who is Lindsay Lohan, and why should I be concerned about her?
#2 -- Why is the Omicron Variant called Omicron, when it is the 13th variant, and Omicron is the 15th Greek letter?*
The 13th letter is Nu and the 14th is Xi.
Apparently because people would get confused between "Nu" and "New" and China would get upset if it was called after the Chinese President "Xi".
* And no, I didn't know this. I had to look up the Greek alphabet and count. I went to a good Catholic school, we learnt godly Latin, not that pagan language Greek.

The WHO addressed this.. Nu would be confused with new and Xi was skipped for obvious reasons. No mystery there to me.
Well, I took it as a spiritual and meditative practice. Cleansed out reactions and deleting the reason why I ever gave the person any attention in the first place. Younger selves do stupid things, and trade bad for worse.Well said. I had to get a restraining order against Shakira!
Karma has to be the restraining order given here, as any physical evidence is gone.
I have freed myself at this point from why I attracted the person into my life in the first place. That younger naïve self-part is buried and dead in the process ?
I was only joking about Shakira… unfortunately. However, I did have dinner with Winona Ryder once…at a Petaluma McDonalds. ??
I’ve had many professional interactions with celebrities and all have gone very nicely. I’m pretty indifferent about celebrity anyway. However, my (non romantic) experience with successful and wealthy people strongly matches yours more than not.
As for trading for worse…it seems we often trade one vice for another. I’m glad to read that you‘ve adjusted well and wiser for it. Cheers.
Do you expect anyone to believe anything you say now after admitting you were lying/joking in an earlier post? Immediately after that you name another celebrity that you had dinner with at McDonalds? Sounds more than unlikely.
Sorry, You haven’t made a creditable or good start on MR. But thank for responding on my concern.

My sun doesn’t rise or set on whether you believe me. But we met at McD’s because it was walking distance however I gave her ride home on my motorcycle.
No need to apologize. I may not be the hero you wanted but I am the one you deserved. ?
I had a pizza with Prince Andrew once. I remember it was really hot and I was sweating profusely. Funny thing he wasn’t at all……
Magdalena Andersson are re-elected as the 1st Swedish female prime minister today.We have a new female Prime Minister in Sweden today, 1st one actually ???⭐️
Congratulations to the amazing Magdalena Andersson.
She seems to be incredible regarding communication, this fast and smooth I can’t recall a new government rebuilding have been anywhere close to before.
But she was talking through agreements with all other involved party leaders, so smoothly in no time. I already like her.
I am not that interested as such in politics in itself though. Usually just a bunch of old boring men.
But once in a while...something inspiring happens ?

The government building seems to have been more peaceful and thought through this time.
Greatness is a continuous process built on the integrity of thoughts and good and peaceful collaborations. Wish her and the team behind her great work peace in their leadership ⭐
This is good news, New Zealand for example has done very well under the leadership of PM Jacinda Ardern.
So they were able to resolve whatever the issues were that caused her to resign the first time? That is good news!
Different Government building. It's not a collaboration Government this time. The government is made of only The Social Democrats now. They will of course need to do more collaboration with the other parties to get through decisions in the parliament, but the government will be more in agreement and have more focus in their direction.

Another winter annoyance:
It's already pitch black by the time get out of work and go biking. It's weirdly demoralizing biking in the dark, plus it's below freezing. Eugh…

It’s not properly light when I head to work, pitch black when I get home. With no street lighting in my village or area, it’s VERY dark. Frosty as well the last few days. No doubt I’ll be scraping the car in the morning.
Weird question, do you have a car or access to public transport? I bike myself unless we get major snowfall or icy conditions. Even a it of rain doesn't bug me. I don't have a car but we have excellent public transport.
As to the lack of daylight well - one of the reasons I dislike this season. I go to work a bit later so that is fine but coming home late is ugh for me too.
Oh, gosh, yes agreed.
Passionately agreed.
Ugh.
I can handle finishing the day's work in the dark an awful lot easier than having to set out in the dark on what is referred to as a December morning.

Only another 3 months. Then it’s Springtime again!
I am counting the days until then, believe me.
I know that I say, think, and write this every year, but, dear divinities, I just loathe winter.

Yeah, it's just after work for exercise. But still, it's only 5pm and already pitch black and 17ºF/-8ºC.
I feel like I'm dying for the first 10 minutes and then start to acclimate. ?
