Comments for The Sun Daughter Press http://sundaughterpress.com books from feminine realities Sun, 17 Jul 2011 03:42:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on Young Adults and the Muse by Nana "Elphie" Mingxia http://sundaughterpress.com/2011/07/626/#comment-107 Nana "Elphie" Mingxia Sun, 17 Jul 2011 03:42:33 +0000 http://sundaughterpress.com/?p=626#comment-107 What an interesting topic, Miss Matichei. Elphie doesn't really write too much, but when she does, it usually comes from "imaginary" visions that play themselves out in her head. Even when playing pretend when she was a small child -- her favorite game -- she never felt that she <i>made</i> the stories up: she just <i>told</i> them. In this way, we seem to operate along the same lines as your honoured self, so to speak. What an interesting topic, Miss Matichei.

]]> Comment on Alien Thoughts on Gay Marriage by Mary http://sundaughterpress.com/2011/06/alien-thoughts-on-gay-marriage/#comment-78 Mary Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:21:54 +0000 http://sundaughterpress.com/?p=599#comment-78 I was so pleased to read this. Only yesterday I was thinking about this -- and had very similar thoughts. Well, that's not quite true. I had intuitively the same reaction of thinking that Tellurian marriage is already messed up. The clear reasoning here clarifies my intuition. Thank you, Annalinde. I was so pleased to read this. Only yesterday I was thinking about this — and had very similar thoughts.

]]> Comment on Is it possible to be amazed alone? by Rolling Duck http://sundaughterpress.com/2011/06/574/#comment-69 Rolling Duck Fri, 24 Jun 2011 18:15:29 +0000 http://sundaughterpress.com/?p=574#comment-69 Your "talking front door" scenario is fascinating (also enchanting). I recently heard of a study in which a speaker was placed inside a plush toy and young children alone in a room heard the plushy "speak" to them. Most looked around to see if someone else was speaking, but once satisfied that it was the plushy speaking, simply entered into conversation with it with no sign of great surprise. It would have been interesting to know whether their reaction would have differed if they had been in groups rather than alone. Your “talking front door” scenario is fascinating (also enchanting).

It makes me wonder about the expression "cheer up". Was the "cheer" originally a verb, as in "drink up", or a noun as in "chin up"? I wonder. How interesting about the origin of “cheer”.
