In parts of the Pacific islands they call it a "lungi". <BR/><BR/>NB: plural of "bus" is "buses". "Busses" with a double ess speaks of "buss", as in "to kiss".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35012109.post-21456200636123167112007-08-29T10:11:00.000-07:002007-08-29T10:11:00.000-07:00I hear the questions, and the suffering in asking ...I hear the questions, and the suffering in asking those questions.<BR/><BR/>"Who do I want to be? How do I want to give?"<BR/><BR/>Alison, you are a writer. You teach writing, right? Do you know that writing is one of the most cathartic, therapeutic forms of healing? You teach that. I'm not sure if you specifically set that as a goal for your students, but it's almost impossible to write solely for entertainment purposes.<BR/><BR/>As a paid family physician, I often question my selfishness in choosing not to volunteer or offer my time elsewhere.

Let us know what you find.mermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895749686844178804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35012109.post-37033682163372598492007-08-28T21:23:00.000-07:002007-08-28T21:23:00.000-07:00Hey Ali!

How about in addition to making a "bucket list" - what you do before "kicking the bucket" - make a list of things you have done!? <BR/><BR/>I am wondering about what it means to be in privilege ... a person of privilege. My co-worker from Peru talks to me about 4 classes of people in Peru. Wealthy, Middle Class, Poor and the Miserable. We don't know Misery here like in other countries. It is so far away from our experience that when we see it, it hits us smack in our amygdala - then it vibrates like a bowl of jello for days ... weeks ... bet yours is still shaking!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406205217865286501noreply@blogger.com
