Pssh, I'M fairly centrally located, and nobody comes to myyy house.
Probably cuz I can't cook.
​LOL. That was funny!

Look at it on the bright side: you can burn food and still have a heart to sing pre-school song for hours on end. Now, that's entertainment extraordinaire!

Why does xerox sell contracts saying customers MUST troubleshoot when the customers never do and it has no consequences for them? and why do they base our bonus on whether we are able to troubleshoot with the people who know they dont have to because the meaner they are, the more likely they are to have someone fix it for them, AND for us to get in trouble?

I feel so sorry for the baristas at Starbucks, some of them have to get up by 5am or earlier to be at work for 6am.

I had a job in college that I had to be there a little before 6 AM. I was very close to it (I could walk) so I didn't have to get up until 5:15am, but man...that was hard. It didn't matter if I went to bed at 9pm or midnight the night before, 5am is too early any way you look at it. :p

On a completely unrelated note, I just realized how...strange it will feel, when my feelings for someone are one day returned. I don't think I'll know what to do with myself. I think my first reaction would be, "That's okay, I'm used to...wait WHAT??"

I am going to ask for a prayer for my Cousin Patty, her brother passed away Saturday. She is the last member of her immediate family that is still living,her brother has been ill for many years and she helped take care of him. Patty has been disabled her entire life. She's 60 now. She has the most positive attitude of anyone I know. But his death has been very hard on her. His funeral is Wednesday. Please pray for her a prayer of comfort. She really needs prayers right now. Thank you!
Done and thank you for making us aware of this, praying she is comforted in spite of this and sees him as not suffering anymore, and possibly seeing to welcome him to his new location, it is not easy and took years for me to see this the welcoming them part as I only have one sister and brother left in my immediate family
I know the feeling, but I also know I can and do trust God that God has got them safe and got then secure in God's faithful way
Seeing it from God's perspective is not easy to see. praying she and all see it this way from god's vantage point who does work all things to the good of us all, if we will just believe we receive and see, at least this is what I have discovered in the faithfulness from God through Son
Thanks

I remembered a story my dad told me a year or so ago. He had been to the store that day and he saw a young lady standing there with her grandmother. The little girl was 5 years old or so. She had been burned horribly; her face was terribly disfigured from the scars. The thing is, she looked very peaceful and happy and didn't seem to be caring about what others thought. "My goodness" said my dad. "That is one cute little girl!". I believe he also mentioned what a great smile she had. She kept amusing herself with what she was doing and ignored him. "Now, that man said something nice to you" said the little girl's grandmother. "Say thank you". The young lady looked up at my dad. "Thanks, pardner!" she said cheerfully. She then went back to what she had been doing before. :')
Now that is knowing and living above ones circumstances for he came to give life and give it more abundantly, and she the little girl a perfect example of being content in all things.
Thanks for this post sister

My friend and I banter back and forth on Facebook, nothing rude or inappropriate, but we both have dry senses of humor. Sometimes other's don't understand us and think we are really dumb or rude.

There was this thing going around when you commeted on someone's odd status, you had to put one up yourself. You had a choice of a few, mine was, "I wish Obama could run for a third term." Most people that know me, know that's not true. Including my friend, she and I have a lot of the same political opinons. She responded, "Oh I wish he could run forever!" Then of course someone who doesn't understand our humor or relationship says, "Why, he's awful?" Then I have to explain, she's joking calm down, and she also has a right to her opinon.

One day she put a status up about watching football. If you've ever seen the movie The Water boy the water boy's Mom says everything is of the devil. The Waterboy wants to play football and she would say, "You not playing Foosball it's the DEVIL!" She called football Foosball.

So she put's this status up about the game and I respond, "You shouldn't be watching that Foosball it's of the DEVIL!" Someone doesn't get it of course and again an explanation is needed, she's joking.

I know not everyone get's sarcasm, but it's not like she's putting up a picture of her kid and I'm saying, oh that kid's ugly. I would never do that, that wouldn't be funny. But do some people just not have a sense of humor or am I just odd?
Been 30 years now together with my wife, my best friend and people do not get us, they think we are fighting and I just say welcome to the Howard and Paula show. We are not like the typical couple that has to appear oh so well as if we are not real. We both always say it like it is, forsaking any emotional trauma that most people are used to getting in their way
I understand and carry on in your banters back and forth and you do not have to give explanation to anyone for you know your own heart and god does as well. Stand fast, and continue to your loving fun self

Being all responsible and paying all my bills, and making extra payments to my credit card and student loan. I have the new App called Bill Tracker and I think it will help me remember and encourage me to pay on a timely manor. Nothing like an App criticizing you for not paying things on time. Just needs a window to pop up calling me an irresponsible deadbeat if I go past due.
Maybe just remember to act your wage not your IQ. and I bet you stay out of credit card debt troubles. But is act your IQ troubles will climb aboard. Been there myself. praying to never be there again

Money makes me nervous. Paying bills use to always make me. I guess I figure once it's gone, it gone, and if something happens, the money is gone and I'll be screwed. Cus I'm on my own. No one to help me out. So I clutch money to myself just in case, because it will help me protect myself. It's not that I'm irresponsible, it's that I feel alone and unprotected.
Maybe stand still and be silent and hear you are covered I am God I will never leave you nor forsake you. Now hear this hold onto, and be aware of. So you do not fall into the pit of the traps of this world through too much credit offered. Spend wisely and ask this can I do without this or that
Again learn to act ones wage not one's IQ that this world builds one up on and then it is too late The debt overwhelming
You decide what can you do without?

I remember back in the day... Must have been in grade 6 or so and my girlfriends would swoon over Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I wonder what he's been up to since Tool Time. I never really thought he was that cute, but you know, I wanted to belong so I went along with it.
That is just one of the major traps in and from this world Sister to face reality is not easy as many times we all have to go through it ourselves as well in order to see truth over error

Praying hard for my friend today. Things in her marriage are much, much worse- and dangerous- than I ever knew. I'm thankful and humbled that she chose to finally open up to me this morning...but my heart is seriously breaking for her right now and I hate that I'm so stuck where I am and can't be with her and help her right now. It's so painfully difficult to just trust God through things like this...having faith that he will take care of her and her three little boys...when all I really want to do is cry and yell at God for allowing this to happen to such a wonderful person who has been there for me/with me through everything for more than half my life.

And at the same time, I feel horrible because I have all these things going on in my own life and I can't just ignore them to take care of her...my own struggles that don't even compare to what she's going through, and yet seem so incredibly hard to handle. I know you can't make comparisons between these things; just because somebody else is going through something worse, doesn't negate anyone else's suffering. Hard is hard. I can only thank the Lord that my own situation isn't worse, and hope He'll take care of my friend.

I'm having a rough time wrapping my mind around my life right now. So much bad, so much good, so much confusing and overwhelming, so much right and natural and easy, so much difficult and scary. I honestly have no idea how to cope with most of it. I feel like every day there's something new and different that pops up and adds to it all, like this morning hearing what my friend told me...or when I find out there are more things I have to get in order when I thought I was done, or events that I'd forgotten about that will throw a wrench into everything.

I feel a strange sense of peace, a lot of the time...and yet there are so many moments where I panic, freeze, feel like I'm never going to get where I'm going. When I doubt that I'm even going the right direction- again, all I can do is pray and have faith that I'm choosing the right path, that if it's the wrong path, maybe I won't do too much damage.

All I know with 100% certainty is that no matter what, God's got this under control. No matter how much I may or may not screw up in this life, He's still there, He's still got me and my babies, and He's not leaving us.
