For instance, traumatic stress can cause you to lose concentration, forget things, or have trouble sleeping. It may be difficult to determine on your own whether these symptoms are because you do not feel well physically or because you are still upset. <A HREF="http://www.xanax-effects.com/" REL="nofollow"> http://www.xanax-effects.com/ </A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633172162044104844.post-62989774872615872712008-08-17T11:25:00.000+01:002008-08-17T11:25:00.000+01:00I think the attraction to soaps is to a great exte...I think the attraction to soaps is to a great extent indicative of, and indeed caused by, the atomised, fragmented conditions of modern life in The Wasteland.<BR/><BR/>In these series people can live out, perhaps, some kind of fantasy of being apart of a community where vivid things happen and you get to know people in your community -how life used to be more of the time.<BR/><BR/>I myself have phased in and out of attendance. I adored Dallas of course. Who couldn't as an 8 year old! Re Eastenders specifically I liked Dirty Den and Angie's dramas in the early years and carried on watching until Arthur went mad. Then I paused, becoming as I did rather other-worldly for a few years, and I watched it again for about 2 years in the mid 90s when I went through a 'getting in touch with popular culture' episode.<BR/><BR/>I see soaps as harmless, and at best potentially instructive, bread and circuses, and wonder how much it is mere snobbery/intellectual snobbery to deride them.<BR/><BR/>As I have long felt, there is more to life than, and more important things in life than, being an intellectual or high art connoseur (not to deride the value of that, however,). <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, there certainly should be more high cultural content than there is in our media, especially on the BBC.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467412541030183747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633172162044104844.post-46335919566641318012008-08-17T11:20:00.000+01:002008-08-17T11:20:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467412541030183747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-633172162044104844.post-61135325497260252102008-08-14T21:22:00.000+01:002008-08-14T21:22:00.000+01:00I rather like Eastenders...!
