Readers Disagree on How Quiet to Be While Watching ‘Game of Thrones’
Some say any peep from a companion watching the hit HBO show would ruin everything. Others are more accommodating. And some just have to talk.There is an extensive fan culture and literature for Game of Thrones and its source, The Song of Ice and Fire novels.
I want to concentrate for a first experience of the drama.
Later I will read the recaps and the commentaries and continuities.
Then I will join an audience and treat it like The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I don't know how to share the experience of immersion in real time.
Critical examination is a different pleasure and better when shared. It is further improved when the sources are immediately available for review and examination as with a book or DVD.
I want the salad with the intended dressing.
I can try the components later or another day.
The art is the composed dish.
Silent, no, quiet companionship for the first viewing.
It is a drama and art.

I Was Abused as a Child. How Do I Deal With This as a Parent?
The lesson to unlearn: a family refusal to talk about all the most important stuff. Please discuss, though it will feel uncomfortable at first.
"CS:
That’s the lesson to unlearn here: the one in which your family refused
to talk to you about all the most important stuff. Please, Mom, discuss
this with your daughter! It’ll probably feel uncomfortable at first,
but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you don’t repeat a
negative pattern of silence and denial. Teach your daughter instead that
we have the capacity to talk about the hardest things. You’re right
that she’s thinking about this, and you’re also right that it’s time for
her to know the truth. With you as her guide, she’s strong enough to
handle it.
SA:
What Cheryl’s getting at here is crucial. Trust yourself to be able to
talk with your daughter about these experiences. But also trust her. You
have to trust that underneath her emotional riot is a kid willing, and
probably eager, to listen, one who needs to know that you understand her
most dire feelings and can handle them. When parents offer true
emotional honesty, kids show up.
CS:
Even though my kids were younger than your daughter is now, Mom, when I
told them about my experiences with my father, they listened. They
understood. And they also understood when I told them a few years later
that I’d been sexually abused as a kid. These conversations haven’t
ended. They’ve evolved over time, as my children grow up and have a
deeper capacity to comprehend more complex facts of our human existence.
They’re essential conversations for all of us to have, at any age. Have
them with your daughter.
Now.
I know you can."
I was not abused so much as misunderstood.
Children shape themselves.
We can help them.
We cannot force them successfully.
The arts are full of children trying to grow around early training.
Perhaps the world is full of intentionally crippled children.

Chuck Schumer: A Better Deal for American Workers
Our party has failed to articulate a strong, bold economic program for the middle class. No longer.Now, gather an audience.

Economy Needs Workers, but Drug Tests Take a Toll
Employers say they are having trouble filling jobs because too many applicants can’t pass screening, a factor depressing the labor participation rate.Retest the failing applicants in three weeks.
Hope will allow some of them to get clean and stay clean.
Some will be able to do the job and keep their habits.
Being unfit for duty is the problem.
