Salutations.

It is now 8:03PM EST for me.

I am going to explain idea ‘Appreciation’ in this list, an idea that I said I was going to explain last week, but because of the extra epiphany I sensed after explaining idea ‘Understanding’ from Wishlist #1465, I chose to not explain it. Next Monday, I will explain ideas ‘Guilty’ and ‘Oops’, unless I change my mind.

I looked over the Amazon.com purchases that I made, and I recommend this:

Foam Pump Bottle 2 Pack 3.4 oz/100ml Travel Size Foaming Soap Dispenser Lash Shampoo Bottles for Cleanser Empty Pump Bottle Refillable Containers (Clear)

—

It’s less than $9 with Prime shipping available. It’s smaller than the foam pump that I used last time, but it’s a lot easier to hold, and the pump easily turns diluted dishwashing liquid into foam. It’s a pack of 2, so 1 can be used in the kitchen, and the other in the bathroom. Here’s a quick quote from the Amazon.com link:

‘ High Quality Foaming Soap Dispenser: Foam bottle is TSA approved, which are made of sturdy plastic materials that can withstand regular use and travel and a sturdy construction ensures that the bottles won’t break or leak easily, providing long-term usability. ‘

The Amazon.com has photo illustrations and customer comments.

Appreciation:

It is now 8:32PM EST for me.

Before I start explaining idea ‘Appreciation’, I want to give you a ‘primer'(any book of elementary principles) idea. I imagined a story where girls and younger teenage girls are given things to try out, legitimately of course, for services, products, and/or money. Let me begin with a refurbished illustration quote from the movie ‘Big(1988)’ starring Tom Hanks as Josh. The movie is available for purchase streaming for about $5 from Amazon.com, and according to Amazon Video, that scene starts about 41 minutes and 32 seconds into the movie:

Billy(Jared Rushton): ‘So, what do they make you do for all this?’

Josh: ‘Well, I play with all of this stuff, and then I go in and tell ’em what I think.’

Billy: ‘That’s it?’

Josh: ‘Yeah.’

Billy: ‘And they pay you for all that?’

Josh: ‘Yeah.’

I imagined the man managing the program for the girls and teenagers to participate in to be represented by celebrity actor Robert Picardo(Stargate: Atlantis). I don’t know if such a thing is actually happening. I just imagined it. The purpose of this story is to just give the kids/teenagers an added beginning sense of appreciation to help them learn idea ‘Appreciation’.

So, here’s the idea: Speaking to the girls and younger teenage girls reading this blog, imagine that a girl is offered a list of items to participate in involving products, clothing brands, food. You can’t commit to all of them, but you are given a choice to commit to a variety of them. The one’s that you commit to offer you as compensation their services. For example, if you choose a brand of clothing, you can select from a wide variety of clothing products that will be sent to you, and all you have to do is what Josh did in the movie ‘Big’. You try it, give them a report by computer, and the product is yours. Some other services offer money, depending upon what is offered. Calling the person managing it by the celebrity’s name, Robert Picardo manages how much the girls and younger teenage girls can commit to.

To participate in the program, it is encouraged for the girls and teenage girls to interact with each other in groups, which is why most of the participants are from the same schools, making it easier for them to communicate to each other in groups. Let’s say a girl chooses a certain food provided from the list. The food is offered by the local supermarket, and is intentionally not a brand name food, it’s not the popular variation in it’s category, but if the girl chooses to eat that food, she would have to send a report about it using her computer/laptop, and she will be able to get a lot of it regularly. Of course, she doesn’t have to eat all of it, and she can give it away if she chooses to. For example, from her conversations with her friends, they all agreed to distribute that type of food amongst each other. She makes the commitment from the list, she sends the report regularly, and she gets to go to the supermarket or have delivered that food, even have it shipped to another address, since the supermarket delivers. Such things are encouraged by the program, completely acceptable to do.

When the girls participate in such a program, you may imagine them easily committing to a sense of appreciation to use such products and services. Since they make a report of the products and services that they use, the report identifies their appreciations for using such products and services.

Years ago, I watched the tv show ‘The Sopranos(1999-2007)’ starring James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano, and I used the character Tony Soprano, but as one of the business participants of that program. In this imagined situation, he wants one of the legitimate(for clarification) products offered in the program to be used by as many of the participants available, so he tells the manager Robert Picardo that he is authorized to offer the participants 10 times the amount of money to use that service. The information from the girls is needed quickly, and for a quick commitment, they are offered 10 times the highest amount paid in the program. (It’s just a program for kids to participate in, so I don’t think that 10 times the highest amount will automatically make them rich. However, it still is an obvious incentive.) Robert Picardo approved of the incentive, and submitted the offer to the girls. After the girls talked about it, almost all of them agreed to use that service, and their sincere appreciations changed accordingly.

It’s just a story that I imagined, like I said. The story may allow you to imagine girls using a certain clothing brand name, for example, making a report about it, and you can see how easily it is for those girls to develop an appreciation to use that clothing brand name. Of course, for everyone else, you can just extrapolate from that story.

It is now 9:30PM EST for me.

I am going to look for that music video and trailer now to recommend for this advice. That should take about an hour and a half for me to do. So, if you are there in an hour and a half, I’ll see you then.

It is now 11:28PM EST for me.

I took a nap, and that’s why I started late. I didn’t think it was an issue to take a nap and look for a music video and trailer.

The music video that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Rare’ by Selena Gomez. According to publisher ‘MUSIC CHARTS’, it’s currently #7 out of 20, even though the music video was released 4 years ago. I found it by selecting publisher ‘MUSIC CHARTS’ from www.youtube.com, select ‘Videos’, then select ‘Top 20 Songs: September 2024 (09/14/2024) I Best Billboard Music Chart Hits’, which was published 4 days ago. A video clip of music video ‘Rare’ starts 3 minutes and 37 seconds into the video collection.

Here’s a quote from link ew.com about the music video:

‘ The glittery video for “Rare,” directed by BRTHR, features Gomez in a rainbow-colored, fairytale woods as she sings the confident, empowering anthem about recognizing how special she is — even if the person she was with didn’t get that message. She literally bursts out of a bubble at one point, which is less symbolic and more on-the-nose of her new attitude of self-acceptance and happiness that each new song touts. Imagery of butterflies taking flight and colorful light shining down on her elevates that message to new heights. ‘

And here is a quote from the lyrics:

It feels like you don’t care
Oh, why don’t you recognize I’m so rare?
Always there
You don’t do the same for me
That’s not fair

To watch the music video, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘selena gomez rare’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 111M views. It was published 4 years ago by publisher ‘Selena Gomez’.

The movie trailer that I watched for the 1st time earlier today and recommend for this advice is called ‘Your Monster’. Here is a quote from link variety.com about the movie:

‘ In what amounts to a heavy-handed empowerment tale, the monster in question (Tommy Dewey, made up to suggest a cross between a goat-bearded New York hipster and the leonine lothario Ron Perlman played in CBS’ late-’80s series “Beauty and the Beast”) is at first a surly roommate, later a potential love interest and ultimately a manifestation of Laura’s long-suppressed sense of rage. The symbolism isn’t exactly subtle as Laura learns to break free of her polite good-girl upbringing and embrace those roiling emotions. ‘

To watch the trailer, search in www.youtube.com for phrase ‘your monster trailer’, and it should be one of the 1st selections offered, with 33K views. It was published 4 days ago by publisher ‘Rotten Tomatoes Trailers’.

It is now 11:45PM EST for me.

I am going to take another nap. I’ll start typing again soon, maybe in 30 minutes. If you are there, I’ll see you then.

It is now 1:07AM EST for me.

I took another nap.

I am going to see how much I can type in for the next 2 hours.

Involvement:

Idea ‘Involvement’ is part of idea ‘Appreciation’, and it’s the 1st idea for ‘Appreciation’ that I am explaining. Refurbished with inapproprieities removed, it’s based on the movie ‘The Business of Strangers’ starring Stockard Channing as Julie Styron. Unfortunately, I can’t find the movie streaming. You can purchase the DVD from Amazon.com for about $12 new, and less used, with Prime shipping available. Here’s a quote from wikipedia.org about the movie:

‘ Julie Styron (Channing) is a middle-aged business woman flying out of town to attend an important meeting. When her CEO contacts her and asks her to meet him for dinner afterward, she worries that her job may be in danger and engages the help of a headhunter named Nick Harris (Fred Weller) to look for a new position. Her mood worsens when her new assistant Paula Murphy (Stiles) is 45 minutes late to the meeting, which as a result goes badly. After its end, Julie fires Paula and they part ways.

Later that evening Julie is unexpectedly promoted to CEO of the company. ‘

Here’s the instigation that I suspect may exist, and it’s treatment/advice: An experienced instigation may cause you to experience a misleading ‘money shot’ causality, a false sense of results that you may choose to pursue. The solution/treatment that I created, instead of committing to those false sense of results, instead commit to involvement that allows you to have ‘money shots’, but you don’t know what those ‘money shots’ are specifically. For example, certain instigations may encourage you to pursue ‘money shots’ that have specific, yet misleading results, whereas you can instead pursue involvements without knowing specifically what those ‘money shots’ are. The person that I used for idea ‘involvement’ that pursued involvements without needing to know more specifically what those ‘money shots’ are is from character Julie Styron in the movie ‘The Business of Strangers’. Based on my interpretation of the movie, one of the main reasons Julie Styron was promoted to CEO was because of her very pursued use of ability to get involved. In the movie, she told Paula Murphy(Julia Stiles) that, for one proposed contract, she had the meeting during a football game. Even though she did not know anything about football, during the game, she expressed enthusiasm with the men she was with during the game by saying ‘Hold the line!’. The next day, she was informed by the company that they acquired the project.

While she was in the unisex bathroom, she was talking to herself while applying makeup, causing an employee from that company to react to her complaining. I believe that was another example of allowing herself to be involved with their employees.

Here’s a quote again from wikipedia:

‘ Later that evening Julie is unexpectedly promoted to CEO of the company. ‘

—

In the context of it being a movie, I believe that, after Julie Styron was made CEO, her use of involvement became more obvious, causing her to participate with Paula Murphy in such an extreme way. Again, this is just a belief, and it’s based on the events of a movie. Near the end of the movie, you learn that Nick Harris(Frederick Weller) was innocent, and because of his profound respect of the newly minted CEO Julie Styron, he expressed without saying it directly that he has ‘no hard feelings’ towards her before he left the airport. And, of course, it was revealed that Paula Murphy has issues.

Anyway, to clarify, the character Julie Styron is a convenient example, in my opinion, of a woman that is pursuing involvements without needing to know certain specific ‘money shots’ associated with certain involvements.

Not using it:

I imagined that, if a person is studying other appreciations from people who have a different culture, who practice different beliefs, one of the things that they notice are the things that they do, but without using what they use. They’re doing certain compared tasks/projects, but without using what they use.

Here’s how I conceptualize it: think of certain experienced instigation using a tennis court, but when you experience the instigation, the side of the tennis court that you are on is much longer than the side of the tennis court that the instigator is on. That longer side that you are on represents how the experienced instigation has affected your objectivity. For example, your sense of justification, to blame an instigator for what he/she has done to you. It could be very difficult contemplationally to get to the other side of that court. The other side of that court also represents a certain preferred use of objectivity, even though the instigator is also using it.

The solution/treatment that I created for that effect is to learn to participate with expectations that do not use what is vexing you, that do not use what is affecting your sense of objective use of justification. For example, imagine that you are actively participating in a project that has such an expectation. A woman who is already participating in such a project says to you ‘We haven’t used that in years!’ So, there is something that you are using in your expectation for years, but that something is being adversely affected in it’s use of justification, but that project does not use such an expectation. The expectation that vexes/bothers you because of experienced instigation is not used in that project, and the woman even verifies it to you by saying ‘We haven’t used that in years!’

It is my belief that many instigators, especially instigators that are in instigation groups that work with management, that many of them are actively participating in projects that do not have certain expectations that are adversely affected by certain experienced instigations, and that it would benefit you a great deal if you learn to participate with such projects. I just imagined the idea myself, but I think it’s a good idea.

Here’s a ‘sci-fi’ example that I thought of for idea ‘Not using it’, but it’s not in a preferred form. Maybe you can find it useful. It’s from ‘Angel’ season 4 available streaming from Amazon.com. I don’t remember the specific episode’s name, just the scene, and the scene may not be there anymore. It involves a conversation between Connor(Vincent Kartheiser) and Charles Gunn(J. August Richards). Gunn was complaining to Connor as to how unattractive Jasmine(Gina Torres) was to him, and Gunn was wondering why Connor was unaffected by her appearance. Connor said to Gunn it’s because he was raised on another planet, that he had to learn to ‘live off the land’ on that planet. And in that planet, even time moved differently, which explained why Connor came back to earth as a teenager. So, Connor was able to do many things without being dependant upon the many things that Americans, for example, would need to use in order to do such things. Connor, in a manner of speaking, had some sort of experience ‘short cut’ that allows him to do many things without needing certain things that Americans would need in order to also do such things.

As a warning, if you haven’t seen that episode where Jasmine looks unattractive, in my opinion, she really does look supernaturally unattractive, and yet when Connor talked to her in a similar scene, he was unaffected by her unattractive appearance. I’m not recommending that you watch that scene just for this advice. You can just use the words I provided to use the advice.
