It’s right there, right in front of my face, this whole time. It’s my epiphany, my knight in shining armor, the intelligent, attractive man who loves me with every fiber in his being and who knows me more intimately than anyone else is this world. He knows me. Knows my fetishes, knows my sexual issues, knows my emotional issues. Knows me better than I know me. <B

Wow, your list sounds frighteningly similar to mine! Mine too!! Today I felt like I was pretty productive. I put up a couple of shelves, cleaned out the linen/toiletry closet (tell me why do I think I need to keep the little last bit left in the shampoo bottles?? I had must have been 12 bottles

it's going to be difficult for the schools to make much of an impact. Not that they shouldn't try... It is MORE difficult, I will agree. But schools do have a large impact on teaching kids how to behave in society. Rules and consequences. It seems that taking the toy away for a day isn't having

at some point they WILL be held accountable for their apathy Wouldn't it be nice though if maybe we could teach our kids responsibility BEFORE they flunk out of college? I can see how a "June Drawer" as Ziggy calls it could be a valuable teaching tool.

Something out of the blue, another one of my torrettes-like thoughts. WYSIWYG Editors...it's an program for making webpages (at least that's all I know of, I bet there are WYSIWYG Editors for other mediums as well.) To have a webpage, you need lots of complicated text-based type commands. OK, for some out there HTML isn't all that difficult, but for some

Yell? See, in my life I believe that if I see or hear something that bothers me on a personal moral level I have an obligation to speak up. Believing this and being able to do it are two very different things. Mostly I am successful, but there are just a few people out there that if one DOES speak up, they are pleased. Pleased to have your attetion, albeit negative. Pleased that they have been able to affect a reaction of any sort. Even that woul

Off Topic Warning!!!! all them damn links are gonna be what finally brings the internet to a screeching halt. I just got a chuckle out of this statement. Ahhhh, the irony of it all. The internet is what it is because of the ability to link. Every history on the internet I've ever re

I don’t mean to be irreverent, I really don’t, but sometimes these thoughts just happen. Watching a news show tonight an item aired regarding the recent terrorist breakouts and my brain mused, “Hmmm, this is like an old comic-book plot. Evil group escapes prison to form coalition. Will our superheroes be able to vanquish THIS enemy? Stay tuned…” This

I never would've known except from reading your Funeral posts. I do know that every time I go to any sort of military ceremony, if it includes Taps in any way, I'm reduced to a puddle. Kind of embarrassing.

Wow, I cannot imagine. I don't WANT to imagine. A pain like that would break me. I know it may sound trite because I say it so often, but I keep coming back to this saying over and over again: 10,000 Joys and 10,000 Sorrows. Cling to that for hope. Your joy will come. **hugs**

I just had the one of the most incredible moments with my three year old son. I’m browsing the internet here all curled up on the couch and he’s playing quietly on the floor in front of me. I’m intent on reading the latest advice from the Sage Abby when I hear a whimper from below. “Mommy…..is stuck….helicopper is stuck…” Something in his voi

I wish to learn better how to automatically see and understand the good instead of right away assuming the worst. Sure, the worst may still be the truth but at least for a few seconds until I reach that conclusion, I will have believed the best about a situation. *** The best part about this evening has been sitting back on the couch, clos

I complained recently about the lack of routine in my life. Now that I’m paying attention, I notice how negatively it is affecting me. Just now I’m hungry, so I decide to snack on carrots. I pull them out the fridge along with the Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (the best there is ya know). Then I open the cupboard to discover all the plates and bowls are d

Sometimes I feel like I live in parallel universes simultaneously. Of course, if you stretch quantum physics enough, it is not that far out there to believe that this could be true. There could be a thousand thousand me’s living an exponential amount of lives. Is it so inconceivable (that word, you keep using it…) From this basis, one could go in so man

One of my co-workers brings his lunch everyday. Two sandwiches. Every day I see those sandwiches neatly tucked into their plastic bags in the company refrigerator and I wonder how he manages to do it. He must get up in the morning and do the same thing, the same routine. I think to myself about how I could never do that. The idea of routine scares

Damn am I having fun!!! This is the first time I've had a chance to sit down and get online and boy, my feet hurt SOOO bad. I'm completely having a blast. The people in my organization are very cool.

Cool! I'll do a Hoover Dam tour for sure then! I'll be staying at Treasure Island and have Fri, Sat, and Sun (all day Sunday since I depart on Monday) free for fun. I forgot I have to work Thursday too but probably have Thursday evening free. I'm kind of bummed because a co-worker was going to stay with me and we were going to have a blast, but now she's coming back early so I'll be on my own. Scary, but I'm sure I'll be fine.

Hi Marcie! Thanks for stopping by, I had forgotten that you had lived out there. Can you give me some suggestions as to what to pack, clothes-wise? What should I expect for weather? I don't think I want to rent a car, #1 money, #2 Scary to drive in a new town!!! I had been thinking about taking an $80 bus tour out to the the Grand Canyon though. Is the Hoover Dam closer? I would LOVE to see that, watched a week long mini-series on the bu
