the funny part is we have this book and a cat tried to destroy it.

1. That it sometimes makes people sad to hear that I don't plan on marrying, especially if I say that there are times that I would like a husband. I think I'll re-phrase it as follows: "I don't specifically plan on marrying, but I'm quite certain that if the right guy comes along, we'd both know that it was the Lord's will, and we'd both feel totally peaceful about getting married". Kinda long, but more accurate, and I've felt that peace when something was the right thing to do despite being unexpected, so I have every reason to believe that's the way it'll be for something important like marriage. With the Lord, expect the unexpected, though you may still be surprised a lot

2. I most likely am gluten-intolerant, having gone a week with little gluten, and a few days with none. Stomach feels a lot better. Glad I started trying the diet after only a few months of increasing stomach discomfort instead of waiting years like the apparent average is. Also, I tried a couple other things first.
3. I'm again reminded of the benefits of trying out a new diet to see if it works, rather than waiting for a doctor's appointment, then for test results to come back, and still hoping I'm not in the small percent of people who get a false reading. Also, I saved an awful lot of money this way.
4. Pipp has an extra crunchy friend; an underground health-nut (I guess that goes on her next list =D).
5. I'm capable of giving a stern word if needed. I'd done such before, but it's good to be tested every so often. Love is sometimes saying "cut that out". Loudly if necessary.

^ Agreed, as long as the person truly IS in the wrong . I've met a few people who would just immediately apologize to their children if they made the kid angry for a legitimate reason. NOT a good way to parent; just teaches the youngster that he or she is always right if he/she gets mad. Same if one makes an adult angry because he/she said something the person needed to hear; only apologize if you were in the wrong. The other person may still need a lot of hugs or something, though; I'm not saying not to comfort him or her if you upset him/her for valid reasons .
This wasn't meant as a rebuke to ChandlerFan, BTW; just some things I believe it prudent to type.

1.) How to enable the bookmarks bar in my Opera browser after 4 months of having Opera and not even knowing there WAS a bookmarks bar!! LOL!!
2.) Mallard ducks really will stay outside in ANY type of weather (rain, hail, lightning, winter).
3.) My cat can and WILL try to eat absolutely ANYTHING she can get her fat little jaws on, whether it's a twisty-tie, plastic grocery bag, a toilet paper roll, a straw, even dirt and lint!!
4.) My cat is an excellent fly catcher/killer, but sucks when it comes to killing creepy-crawlies like ants, spiders, flying termites, and pincers.
5.) That if I laugh too hard or too long at a funny cat video, eventually I will end up coughing and breathless and hawking up a lung. Pretty much like I did last night. :/
6.) Mallard ducks also can and will try to eat ANYTHING you give them. Chicken fingers, pizza crust, even dead flower blooms. LOL. They ate the chicken and pizza crust, and only nibbled at the flower blooms, which I will add, my neighbors threw down to the river, and of course the ducks being used to eating whatever is thrown down, tried to eat them.
7.) Roh_Cris is right--cats ARE selfish and sinister little creatures. Mine gets great joy out of watching me clean up HER messes!!
Things I learned TODAY:
1.) How to post pics in here.
2.) How to post links to my thread titles in here.
3.) That with enough trial and error, I will eventually learn how to post youtube videos in here!!
4.) Female mallards are just as mean as the males are!!
5.) That my cat has officially gone bonkers (she talks to herself alot)
