The blaze burned slowly, its flames seemed to be dying only a moment ago it was a roaring fire stoked and tendered with loving hands taking turns, adding a log, a bush, a kindling, here and there, as it crackled with excitement you could feel the warmth as it blazed with love and cheerfulness the flames glowed invitingly Everyone gathered around feeling the cheerfulness, and the warmth as it glowed feircely with pride, it felt good to see the bright flames beckoning to each oth...
I was clueless to the fact that there are myths (and possibly legends) where the Super Bowl is concerned. I guess the sport being such a popular and loved past time there would somehow be stories making the rounds! Bill Briggs an MSNBC contributor wrote an article entitled � Super Bull !� on msnbc.msn.com[/ . He wrote: " fishy blitz of football fibs and big-bucks blarney that gets recited and rehashed like corny campfire fables. You've heard them. You've believe...
As a follow up to a blog I posted, Link , I checked the referral to that article and found some more advice that I would be remiss in not posting. An analysis was done by Scambusters.org who said: " We've gotten a lot of questions from subscribers asking if a popular email that is making the rounds with credit card fraud prevention advice is true. We'll walk you through the email step-by-step, so you can distinguish the good from the bad advice. We're doing this because although ...
I would have made a lot of different choices in my life for sure! Some of the things I have done in the past. Some choices that, now when I look back at them, I wondered what the heck was I thinking?! Has that ever happened to you? If so, what would you reconsider doing differently? One thing I would have reconsidered was leaving a previous job as early as I did, having worked there already for three years, prior to the one I took before my now current position! Whew, that’s...
While we’re on the topic of confrontation and such; I listened to a discussion this morning on Good Morning America. One of the hosts was questioning a Psychologist, or someone of that field, about why people would behave in a manner as that astronaut did and do something that was so out of character to her friends and family. Is that type of behavior normal or to be expected? (I’m paraphrasing here) The Psychologist mentioned Bipolar disorders, depression, and other condition like t...
Why blame the other woman, why not confront the man first? That’s what I would do; find out from my hubby if I was caught in a situation like that! Would I be curious about the ‘other woman’? Heck yes! I would want to know who she was, what she looked like and what she had that I didn’t! Would I confront her? I’m still thinking about that! I’m being honest here folks! However, would I get myself in such a tizzy that I would commit a crime that would land me in jail and my...
Recently I wrote an article about Kevin Bacon's Six Degree's of Separation and the Charity that it involves. Link I finally went back to set up my own badge and linked it to my favorite charity, The American Red Cross! I didn't realise that there wasn't a chapter in my city but there is one close to me in Tampa. I usually donate on a private basis annual and this is a wonderful way to get other people involved, if they so desire. Take a moment to look at the site, and if you feel...
My daughter is really interested in becoming an entertainer, namely a singer, music producer. She hasn't had any formal training, but I think she has some good talents which will get even better with practice and as the years go by! She's been on her school choir and has appeared in several school productions! This month she's going to perform in her school's Black History show. They did a great job last year and I'm looking forward to seeing the students performance again! ...
I received this in an email and thought it would be good advice to share! ____________________________ A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company. 1. The next time you order checks have only your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them. If someone takes your checkbook, they will not know if you sign your checks with just your initials or your first name, but your bank will know how you sign your checks. 2. Do not sign the back...
The other day we were dragged by our son into his favourite gaming store, Rhino. He gets like this every other month. When there's a new game that he wants he's all excited and there's nothing else that he talks about. He doesn't stop raving and coaxing and begging about it until we give up in defeat and take him to Rhino to get it. Of course the coaxing and begging part is each time we have bought him a new game we make him promise not to bother us until his birthday. Yes, sure he won'...
I'm having a difficult time logging into JU through my home page! Is anyone else having that problem? Anway, I have some new photos! Alas, I haven't gotten a new digital camera yet, so forgive the clarity. Me, a relaxing self portrait moment! The three people who rule my life! My oldest, in the middle, my youngest, the shorty in front, and my oldest two best friends. I love this photo!

It dawned on me that I do quite a lot of my reading of news and what’s going on in the world online. It’s more convenient and a lot less messy than newsprint! It got me thinking though, which is better? Reading an actual newspaper, or getting in front of the computer? You have to understand that I consider the act of reading itself as an art. It’s something that I really love to do, when I do get the chance to do it. If I didn’t have other obligations in my life I tell you I wou...
She stood alone facing the world wondering what's to become of her now? drowning in the quagmire of life fighting to stay afloat turning every which way trying to survive fighting for some sense of normalcy to prevail She stood, nondescript unworried about what others may think "I must look a sight" she thought to herself No makeup, hair pulled back, no fancy clothes a worried look on her face she caught the furtive glances of passersby some didn't register, blank expressi...
