I just had to share these! Another emailer... 1. Dear God, please put another holiday between Christmas and Easter. There is nothing good in there now. Amanda 2. Dear God, Thank you for the baby brother but what I asked for was a puppy. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up. Joyce 3. Dear Mr. God, I wish you would not make it so easy for people to come apart I had to have 3 stitches and a shot. Janet 4. God, I read the bible. What does beget me...

Some people are just so rude and have no telephone manners. Cell phones are very useful for emergency purposes, keeping in touch with home and other stuff like that. At least that’s what I use mine for. I have nothing against cell phones because I do own one. However too many times people come into my offices for meetings and they absolutely have no manners! I have to wonder to myself if they don’t realize that they are being rude! Here’s this jerk, er, man who came to my office to m...

I received this email today and found it an apt reminder to myself because sometimes I forget. It’s a beautiful piece. I have no idea who the writer is. Hopefully someone will get something out of reading it as I did. Enjoy! "Effective immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, b...

Has anyone seen last night’s episode? No one here in my office watches this show and I’ve not seen it on the forums and I have no one to talk about it. So anyone out there who watches this show? Last night’s episode was unbelievable! Nate is dead! Dead! I can’t believe they killed his character. I never heard anything about that. But then I haven’t read the TV Gal’s webpage in a while so I’m out of the loop. Who would have guessed that they would make a switch like that? I sa...

My other enlightening conversation was with my kids. My son had this Pokemon toy in that whatcha-may-call it container that was very hip and very popular about two years ago. If you watch the cartoon you might know what I’m talking about, that Pokemon ball and the Pokemon comes inside the ball – I forgot what the correct name is? Anyway, he had this little bird that was actually a chicken, very tiny. He showed it to me and asked mom do you remember this? Do you know what it is? I said “Oh...

You know if you really think about it, that snack machine at the office (or wherever it happens to be) is evil. Think about it really. Sometimes it takes your money and doesn’t give you what you wanted or it won’t even give your money back to you! Then it sits there with all the things that are supposed to not be good for you, chips, and chocolate (although now I hear this IS good for you), candy. All the things you want to eat at 3pm in the afternoon when you really need that sugar fix. ...

Pain is one of the things in life that I would never wish on anyone. Of course people experience it on a regular basis for one reason or another. Having experienced excruciating pain, I empathize. I used to think that having a toothache was one of the most awful pains to experience; until I went through childbirth - three times! Then there's been migraine, the blinding-aching-can't-open-my-eyes-close-the-curtain-turn-off-the-lights kind that makes you feel so ill all you want to do is...

Wow, what a week it's been! JU not functioning properly, me logging on constantly and not getting anything. Except for a quick time to add 3 new articles and then whammy, cut off! Well, I'm glad it's alright again. I miss you guys! I haven't got the time to peruse at leisure but will catch up soon. Geech another bombing incident in London! What a world! More people missing while on their vacation trips....I dunno, this world is going insane! Life... And of course my life goes on...

Sometimes it’s hard not to resist them too. However, I’m getting good at saying no or eating only a small portion, enough to satisfy that craving to taste that sweet, delectable, sometimes sinful treat! Hmmm, yummy! I’ve learned to still have my cake and eat it too, har, har! Here’s what I do: I read my labels, and I know that’s boring and tiresome, but you would be surprise at how helpful this is. If the dessert in question (and this goes for anything) is more than 200 calories I won...

I love to snack. Ok, there I said it. I love to snack! I don’t indulge in a lot of fatty foods anymore but if I do, I do it in moderation. I still haven’t had any chocolate (or beer) yet. I’m planning to have some at the end of the week….I promise to have only one chocolate bar and two beers (fingers crossed)! Seriously though, I have to snack sometimes. It’s quite a filler in between meals. I do try to be good and snack healthy but what do you do when you can’t? The thing is if you...

Well another weekend has come and gone. I can’t believe it will soon be the end of July! Gosh time is passing quickly. Sometimes it seems like there are just not enough hours in the day and you can’t get everything done. Another time the day just drags on endlessly! So instead of cleaning house this weekend like I normally do, I decided to just not get all stressed and flustered and worry about how clean my surroundings are. Instead I took my two younger ones to the pool to have some f...

I’m so drained, and I’m not referring to lack of sleep or anything like that today (I also went to bed a lot earlier last night!) but, no, make that however, I’m emotionally and mentally tired. I just came from the dentist with my 3 year old. This was her second follow up visit since her surgery. She’s been doing well since it happened except one of her crowns fell out but it was ok, her dentist replace it at the first visit. He said she was healing nicely but we’ve got to make sure ...

1. I use the word but a lot (LOL, read Trudy’s blog, link]https://forums.joeuser.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=17&AID=81008#619447">Link ) Now I use the word however instead 2. I sometimes try to please people too much Now I just do what I can without driving myself crazy 3. I was letting other people’s opinion and impressions about me intimidate me Now I don’t give a damn so much (hey I’m only human, it would be lying if I said I didn’t care somewhat) 4. I haven’t been feeling ...
