Waktu pakta Legiun Amerika diselenggarakan, pandemi yang tidak dikenali mengintervensi. Beberapa orang menanggung derita tanda-tanda yang intensif, seperti flu, berdasar laporan dari Washington Post. Tanda-tandanya cukup kronis seperti batuk, kedinginan, dan demam setinggi 107 derajat. Dalam masalah yang kronis, paru-paru pasien disanggupi cairan darah. Sebab oksigen terbatas, orang yang terkena penyakit ini dapat mati lemas.<br /><br />Sebab penyakitnya banyak dialami beberapa Legiuner, orang menyebutnya “penyakit Legiuner.” Menurut Time, penyakit ini tidak dikenali pemicunya pada waktu itu. Mengakibatkan, tampil teori konspirasi. <a href="https://ramuanobattradisional.com/" rel="nofollow">https://ramuanobattradisional.com/</a> Sebagian orang menyangka jika ada orang asing yang menyerbu pakta itu. Seorang wakil dari Veteran Bangsal Luar Negeri ikut juga mendakwa jika terjadi perang “sayap kiri” pada veteran militer. Pada akhirnya kejadian itu dijumpai, yaitu berasal dari mekanisme pendingin udara hotel, sebagai inkubator bakteri Legionella.R1se Hluoluohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853204727468657416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-48109239885961195192010-11-15T11:22:16.361-08:002010-11-15T11:22:16.361-08:00Kangaroobee, that is great to hear, that you'v...Kangaroobee, that is great to hear, that you've had success branching out on your blog! A great example to us all. :-)<br /><br />Skipper, wow, that's quite a dichotomy you've got going there! Your example makes a great case for creating an author persona that is <i>separate</i> from your private self, exactly so you can have the freedom you need to talk about the things you are passionate about.<br /><br />Have you considered that? Creating a split personality for yourself? I am also wondering if you will be comfortable publishing under your real name when you are leery of blogging about similar topics under your real name. Maybe the right thing for you is a psuedonym, one used for both blogging and publishing?R.L.

But I think it is relevant.<br />For many years I published, edited, wrote a small town weekly in an extremely conservative (read “backward”) rural community. I’m a socialist. My readers were my neighbors, friends. But “friends” who didn’t know me. Not even in my editorial column did I reveal myself. Instead I was the town cheerleading captain. And I did the impossible, starting an independent newspaper and succeeding in a period when most independent papers were folding. A few years after I sold the paper and moved, I learned from the then editor that I was “a legend.”<br />My novel, my first, is situated in a fictional community similar in many ways to my old home. It was written at a safe distance and I never once felt constrained. Now, however, as I make FaceBook friends with old friends down there and contemplate a blog, I find myself shying away from revealing myself, searching for ways to be authentic and yet acceptable. Ideas for blog posts seem always in the nature of cheerleading again, this time for the area’s wondrous landscape, its ecotourist destinations, rather than talking about how private property relations lead inevitably to devastation of the environment—rather than talking about slavery in agricultural labor, the danger of world domination by Monsanto as it comes to control food production internationally, the poisoning of the soil and air by agricultural chemicals, the dangerous loss of genetic diversity due to production for mass distribution of food, etc. I find myself being cute and trite.

LOL! <br /><br />I don’t really have any fears to list, but I feel pretty strongly about being cautious online. Also, I’ve come to the sad conclusion that I’m not the most exciting person in the world. It seems I only cut loose when I’m another character—and the idea of sharing information about unpublished work does not appeal to me at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-65096353939160964532010-11-04T07:58:03.247-07:002010-11-04T07:58:03.247-07:00My prize book came today -- thank you so much.

Then clicked to watch Paul Potts's video and cried some more. And then Libba... I love her speech. But you know, for all the times I've watched someone like Susan or Paul or Libba and been caught up in the emotional power of it all, I haven't really thought about RISK. (I'm a bit slow at times, lol.) So thank you for adding this perspective. Great food for thought....

And I want to respect other people's privacy, and never write out of impulsive anger.<br /><br />But beyond that, I try to be accessible. I have a personality, I'm imperfect, I have likes and dislikes. Sometimes I put up a post (or write a story) that I think some may quarrel with, but when it's important enough to me, I post it anyway. I'm willing to stand behind what I've said.<br /><br />I can never tell which of my posts will get the biggest response. Sometimes I wrote things that I thought were just off-the-cuff throwaway amusement, and got more comments than usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-88726893971452822122010-11-01T09:33:43.160-07:002010-11-01T09:33:43.160-07:00Fabulous post -- and definitely something to think...Fabulous post -- and definitely something to think about.

And I should have mentioned just how simply brilliant Libba's speech is, aside from a terrific example of authenticity.<br /><br />And not only do I get goosebumps when I watch the Susan Boyle video, I often tear up. Yeah, I'm hopeless. :-)<br /><br />So glad you like the post, Stephanie! And nice to see you here.<br /><br />Tiffany, it has absolutely been my pleasure.
