Well, you've read the notes, the notes discussed karma, and now it is time for you to post until the karmic cows come home.

Regarding the TOD:  I think bad things hit well-intentioned people just as much as they hit evil-intentioned people.  Sometimes, luck has an evil-intentioned person get some bad luck.  Is that karma?

Or - in order for it to be karma, does the bad thing that happens to the evil-intentioned person have to relate in some way to the evil things the person did?  (like what George described earlier - a human resources person losing his own job)

Good morning, all! Because I stayed in bed so long yesterday, I slept very poorly last night.  The fact that the temperature was up in the 40s last night didn't help either.  i do recall dreaming that DR Ginny and Richard amd I went to an underground film at the Colonial Theatre, now the Sorg Opera House, in my home town.  In another dream, I was renting an apartment in a very strange building, and Rebecca Luker was a neighbor.

Around 11:00, I will go down to City Center and visit with Joshie.  He orchestrated Judy Kuhn's concert last night, and I want to hear how it went.

Good morning, all.

Well, I wasn't able to completely avoid this becoming a cold, but I do believe it will remain a light one.  That said, however, I'm sick of this already.  My third cold since October?  It must be karmic retribution for something!

It's early.  Too early.
It is supposed to be a very pretty day later-- perfect for playing hooky.
But I'll be at work.

And I am overdrawn $100 this morning.  The only thing currently keeping me from diving off the roof is that I need to change my will. I will not leave my estate in the hands of that ass Ron Raines.

Much as I'd like to believe in karma, I think it's another urban legend.
As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods,
They kill us for their sport.

Thursday morning greetings!  Back from my medical test with no reason to suspect the result will be anything but normal.  After last night's snow, the driving was OK, but walking was pretty tricky.

I think all actions good or bad have consequences....so bad actions should certainly draw bad consequences.

I am trying to think of an example of it that I have seen or heard.......

Time will tell.

Spoke with the thyroid this AM and no correlation with what is happening with the knee. So as soon as WC approves it's new knee time.

TOD:

I think you all are taking the word "Karma" a little too literally. I think Bruce really just wants examples of "poetic justice".
Unfortunately, I don't have any examples of poetic justice from my own life. The only thing I can come up with that's remotely close is that some vile person I used to work with once made fun of me for saying I'd really like to work in a cubicle near a window so I could look up now and then and see some blue sky. I found it really made a difference to my psyche. Later, she was babbling with a co-worker in Spanish and I hear her say in a very snotty sarcastic tone: "cielo azul". I came to realize after that, that she often talked smack about me in Spanish because I'd taken years of it in school and could understand just enough to make out a few words. Anyway, management moved my team around to various floors and areas several times over the next several years, and our cubes kept getting smaller and smaller and never near a window. Meanwhile, the vile person filed two anonymous complaints against me, and I finally started applying for new jobs within the company. It took a year and a half, but I was finally hired into a completely separate department. The new job is a lateral move, but the people are wonderful. Funny this question came up today because on Monday they moved me into a HUGE cubicle right up against a freakin' window!! It's all I've ever wanted for the past ten years and I finally have it. I open the blinds every day around lunch time and I can actually put my feet up on the window sill and gaze out if I wanted. So, nothing bad has happened to the vile person, but she's still stuck in a tiny cubicle not near any windows. :-)

I do find there seem to be coincidences here on Haines His Way, if not actual karma - like Bruce saying "I don't know nothin' about birthin' babies" the same week I used the same phrase in an e-mail to some friends. Also, he asked us to report on our favorites cars the same week that mine was totaled in an accident. And now he's asking about Karma the same week I finally get my cubicle near a window. Coincidence or karma?? Hmmmm....
