September 2021 Back at school

Now that everyone should have returned to full time education what will happen?

What I have found myself is that everything seams to be going backwards, yet if we stepped into a time machine all I can see is one of two things happening.


This is why I think that films about the future and infection became so popular over the last year.


Yet the one thing that I always think about is "The Time Machine "By H.G. Wells" and the words "it's all clear."

https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/timemachine/summary/


Although I have never read the book I did see both movies.

The Time Machine is a 2002 American science fiction film loosely adapted from the 1895 novel of the same name by H. G. Wells and the screenplay of the 1960 film of the same name by David Duncan.

This book talks about the end of the world due to man reaching to far to touch the stars.  Then in the future only two species of man left 


Eloi 

One that lives above in the sun and eats, drinks, plays all day.


Morlocks

One below that works, designs, plans and cares for those above.  Hides in the shadow and then when they need to feed on those above to survive.

They do this by using a noise that makes the Eloi to the onw basic thing that every thing thig will do, Flight or Fight.

So what the noises triggers is the flight instinct that makes the Elio hide under ground like that would have been taught to do centuries before in times of danger.

For centuries we have been taught this in may ways shapes and forms the Flight or Fight way of life and in some case we have been forced into doing one or another even if we do not wish to do so.


Flight or Flight.

The fight or flight response is a physiological response to a stimulus which our bodies consider dangerous or life-threatening. This response—also called the acute stress response—is familiar to most people as the intense feeling of anxiety, shaking, and fear that can occur when our bodies prepare for a possible emergency.


Although both genetical come from the same species homer apian they are nothing a like to to centuries of evolution and time.

So in many ways have become to separate species all together and bother dependant on each other and living a symbiotic relationship.

Symbiotic relationship 

Symbiosis is a function of nature that encourages the flourishing of all life on Earth, enabling each party to sustain its own life and continue the legacy of their species through a special form of interaction. Some symbiotic relationships are only really beneficial to one party, but generally symbiosis will be mutually beneficial.

In the movies

In both films the interpretation of the movie is different yet the story line is the same.  With a traveller from a different time coming teaching the Eloi that to live a different way of life that they must fight for it and want to learn to change from in way being children into adults and learning to take care of themselves.

"Not to be afraid of the dark, to change and adapted."

Yet in the more modern movie (2002)  the Elio appear to be more independent and know what it is going on and except their way of life and that none are likely to live very long.  They even appear to know basic literature, how to gown food, how to keep warm and stay safe at night.

He also never goes back in time. and resets up the ability to tech again with what is left of modern technology; called the Vox System.

In the 1960, they have talking rings, books that have turned to dust, food and clothing, no knowledge of fire and know that at night they must stay indoors and not go outside.

In the end he goes back in time and picks up three book to take with him to help build and change the future.

One should be asking themselves do we not already live this way?

Thinking Time for Change VHS TAPES “NEST EGGS” FOR THE FUTURE.

VHS TAPES “NEST EGGS” FOR THE FUTURE.


I am currently going thought my old VHS TAPES that I have found and will be looking at putting them on line to sell and to convert into DVD for my own person use. Any information on them that may be useful like old News Stories or Advents I will look at posting on line.

At the moment I have come across a film Called Apt Pupil on VHS by the Cinima Club.

Origonaly it was a book by Stephen King


StephenKing.com - Apt Pupil

Apt Pupil Formats: DVD / VHS Released (US):October 23rd, 1998. High school student, Todd Bowden (played by Brad Renfro), is fascinated by Nazi Germany. He discovers that a former SS war criminal, Kurt Dussander (played by Ian McKellen) is secretly living in his home town. Todd confronts Dussander and in exchange for his silence, blackmails ...


Currently on eBay this VHS Tape is retailed at around £1.99 + Postage so at the moment I will keep it. I aim to do this with some of my belongings for my children so that they can use them as a “Nest Egg.” In the FUTURE.


At rhe moment a lot of items have lost their value due to everyone knowing how to buy and sell online and globally.

For this reason a lot of the profit it items is lost and prices of items have be turned into pennies and on longer pounds.

So why to have a look though you own items and see what is worth , keeping, selling, recycling, upcycling, donating to charity.

Thinking Time for Change Confessions of a Shopaholic 2020

Confessions of a Shopaholic 2020

in 2009 the film “Confessions of a shopaholic” came out which is a film adaptation of the Shopaholic Book Series by Sophie Kinsella https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/shopaholic/

But how many people watched the film or read the book and took a leaf from the story line and STOPPED using store cards, taking out loans, buying on HP instead of living with in your financial means?

So maybe this year is the year that you look at doing so.

Many people at this time of year always buy or get brought the same things that can help you to live more frugally and to achieve that one thing that you would like to buy or pay for in the near future.

Some people would have been given a diary, (if not you could get one in the January sales or have an online one.) you have probably even been given a self help book too.

So why not spend a few minuets thinking about.

What is it really want?

What is it that you really need?

What is it that you really desire?

On my blog you can down load a budget c=sheet to help you plan your first or several months budget to help reach that goal.



Set a time frame and pin it on the wall or fridge somewhere that you can see it every day to motivate you.







If it is something like a holiday then think about like rewards that you can buy to motivate yourself too like a new swimming outfit.

If it is to buy a new outfit, car or save for a house then again put up a picture.

Every month take a few minuets to check where you are with your goal and where you are going to keep your money too.

Are you going to keep it in a tin in the house or open a new saving account with your bank? The best way to not spend the money that you are looking at saving I find is to out it some where else and keep it separate your every day, weekly and monthly spending.

So cut up those store cards, try to lower your over draft or get an account without one. Try to set up any payment plans to settle any old or out standing debts.

(use epically certified sites to support you like debt line, CAB or GovUK website.)

Start small and dream big.
