, dated November 6. 2009. I've wondered before why this doesn't happen more often. One of the comments at the bottom of the article may give an explanation why it doesn't, yet - why doesn't the water just follow the outside of the casing right up out of the ground? I don't understand what "plugs" the water (or oil or gas, as the case may be in drilling) and keeps it in the ground - but I'm not an expert in any of this, in any way, shape or form. :-) :-) I do find the article interesting and wonder what Wiesbaden is going to do.
I do not like to argue. I have a different way of looking at many things, this I know. In fact, while in counseling for my depression I was told that the counselor liked talking to me because I DO look at many things from very different angles than other people. I don't know why this is, but I'm glad. However, it does put me in the postion of having to defend myself (views, opinions, attitudes) sometimes. Often I don't give a rip what the other person thinks or what their opinion is and consider that it isn't worth my time to argue about it. Other times, it is worth it. I like thinking 'outside the box' and I don't like having to do or be or think a specific way because that's the way it's been done for x number of years by y people, or because a group of people (church leaders, government, etc) have decided that's the way it needs to be. It's not that I want to be obstreperous, it's just that some people can't see beyond their own nose or beyond what has always been. I just really don't like arguing about it - and it stresses me a LOT when I get into arguments, or even heated disagreements.
I am, at heart, a peace loving person.
ha ha ha ha
I am often so quiet (yes, it is true - mostly because I have a quiet voice and people don't even hear me when I DO speak up - it's amazing to me how many times that happens...) that people don't realize this about me until they've known me for awhile. And some people are just offended by it. It's interesting to watch and see who does get offended by my different way of thinking about things. I also watch people closely and have become pretty good at reading facial and body expressions, as well as tone of voice and even specific words used. I'm not a "Lie To Me" person - but that show is really interesting (have seen 3 whole episodes!). I also like to dig deeper and find out what makes people tick - we are who we are because of what has happened to us, how we were raised, who we know, what we read, and so forth. I know too many people who don't bother to dig deeper and look for reasons. It's sad, really. Do we care about the person - the REAL person with all their hurts and bumps and joys and griefs - or do we just want to deal with the surface person, the person they show us, the person we assume they are, the person WE want them to be - not the person they really are?? (Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.)
Funny thing is, it's people who look at problems from different angles who are the ones who often find the solution to the problem. This happens in science (and they are haled as amazing scientists), it happens in general life.
So, often I won't argue because I do not like to argue (I'm an introvert, after all) - but that doesn't mean I agree with you. I'll just think about it for awhile, gather the info I need to prove my case, then when you are least expecting it because you have totally forgotten all about it - I'll dump it on you.
Nothing in particular in mind right now -
I'm just saying.
Looked up that word, obstreperous, just to make sure I was using it correctly:
Adj. 1. obstreperous - noisily and stubbornly defiant; " 2. obstreperous - boisterously and noisily aggressive; "kept up an obstreperous clamor"
obstreperous
adjective: (synonyms)unruly, disorderly, wild, rough, loud, noisy, out of control, turbulent, rampaging, out of hand, wayward, rowdy, raucous, uncontrollable, uncontrolled, boisterous, wilful, lawless, vociferous, fractious, riotous, tempestuous, unmanageable, undisciplined, stroppy (Brit. slang), rip-roaring (informal), mutinous, ungovernable, uproarious, clamorous, rambunctious (informal), rackety, insubordinate, roistering, roisterous an awkward and obstreperous customer
(antonyms) controlled, quiet, calm, disciplined, gentle, peaceful, orderly, placid, docile
Oh my. ROTFL! I do not define myself as 'controlled, disciplined, orderly, placid or docile' - can I just be quiet, calm, gentle (?) and peaceful???
Ok, the laundry is ready to hang out on the balcony now, and then I'm headed for a shower while we still have water. So, I'll write more later!
