Crossroads

Grow or die!!

…the only 2 options I have.

In God We Trust

… I dont think that it should be changed but if it has to be changed I think it should  be changed to “In God I Trust” because we truly can’t speak on the behalf of anyone but ourselves. I don’t believe that you have to “Trust In God” (thanks to our wonderful country everyone can believe in what ever they want to..(as long as it’s not God..and if it is you can’t express it with out grief))but if you want to spend American money I think you can just get over ” In God We Trust.”… OR MOVE.

 

Just weird

Have you ever been somewhere wearing shorts, like on a bus, out to eat or maybe even a Dr’s office or something and have to sit in a chair that someone just got up from? Have you ever noticed the feeling of their body heat left from where their bum was planted? Sometimes when its really warm I cant help but wonder if they just let one of those warm gassy silent  farts…especially on the bus because it reeks of  body odor and  sweaty vinyl any way… (eeww that’s gross). It’s just a strange feeling all together feeling someone else’s body heat through the fabric on your bum.

Today’s thoughts…

 Incase you didn’t know:

what the term “bed and breakfast” in the context of darts and bingo means …

In darts and bingo, “bed and breakfast” means a score of 26. Dart enthusiasts have some arcane and specialized vocabulary to describe parts of the game. “Oche” or “throw line” is the line behind which dart players must stand. “Cork” is the bull’s-eye and the center is divided into “bull” and the “double bull” or “black dog.” “Hat trick,” also used in a number of other sports, refers to having all three of a player’s darts being bull’s-eyes during a round. To get to a score of 26 in darts, you would need to hit a 1, 5, and 20. This is fairly common and is also called “the classic,” “a Murphy,” or “two and six,” besides “bed and breakfast.” The term “bed and breakfast” derives from the cost of a typical night in a hotel and breakfast in early England, which may have cost 2 shillings and 6 pence. Bingo terminology includes “Valentine’s Day” (a score of 14) and “Heinz varieties” (a score of 57).

What I don’t get is how you freakin score in bingo!!! I have played bingo They call out numbers, you dot your card, get 5 in a row, and yell BINGO!!!! Hopefully before anyone else has. That’s probably ALABAMA bingo. 

quote of the day

- You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.  Denis Mahoney

Stay positive!

Inhaling death

There is defeat in her eyes

While she desperately struggles for every breath

And it’s hard to come to terms with

But she will probably starve to death

Eating makes it worse

It makes it harder for her to breathe

She’s going to waste away

While she’s slowly suffocating

“Getting old, sucks!!” she says

And it brings tears to my eyes

Because I don’t know what to say

When she says she wants to die

I tell her not to talk that way  

And that hurts me even more

Because I know she’s suffering

Says she can’t take it anymore

I wish toGod there was a way

To take it all away

To make her breathe a little better

To help her through the day

She says that she can feel it

That her time has nearly come

To leave this place she describes as hell

And be with the Lord above

And although I know its best for her

It makes me really sad

To think of life without her

I know I’ll miss her bad

And I know that it is selfish

To wish that she could stay

But from the bottom of my tattered heart

I wish that she could stay

I wish that she could breathe

I wish that she could eat

I wish that she was happy

But I wish this in defeat

With every breath she’s inhaling death

And exhaling whats left of life

Trying hard to steer away

From thoughts of suicide

Dear God if you are listening

Please take away her pain

Deliver her to happiness

Before she goes insane

Please dear God just one more thing

I need to pray for me

Somehow help me help her

Please be with us in this time of need.

Please pray for peace on behalf my Grandmother.

Do you know the answer?

 

 

Paul Harvey RIDDLE:

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you’ll die?

The answer came to me immediately; Do you know what it is?
 

 

Bitchology

I got this email today that says….

When I stand up for my self and what I Believe in they call me a bitch

When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts, or do things my own way, they call me a bitch

Being a bitch means I won’t compromise what’s in my heart

It means I love my life MY way

It means I will not allow any one to step on me

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch

The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone’s maid, or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won’t become anyone else’s idea of what they think I should be.

I am outspoken opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.

You WILL NOT succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I will embrace the title and be proud of it!!! 

 

B – Babe 
I – In 
T – Total 
C – Control of 
H – Herself 

B = Beautiful 
I = Intelligent 
T = Talented 
C = Charming 
H = Hell of a Woman 

B = Beautiful 
I = Individual 
T = That 
C = Can 
H = Handle ‘anything’    

So lets all be a BITCH

Be the kind of woman
that when your feet
hit the floor each
morning the devil says
“Oh Crap, She’s up!”

Are you growing up or growing old?

It’s growing up when you finally turn the radio down,

It’s growing old when you need to turn the TV up!

It’s growing up when you realize that less revealing is actually more attractive,

It’s growing old when you find yourself appalled by what others are revealing.

It’s growing up when you try new things to eat,

It’s growing old when you have to eat new things that are actually healthy.

It’s growing up when you choose clothes for class,

It’s growing old when you choose clothes for comfort.

It’s growing up when the bump in the night no longer frightens you,

It’s growing old when all eyes are on you to investigate the bump in the night.

It’s growing up when you actually want to wear plaid because you finally like it,

It’s growing old when you wear plaid because it’s warm

It’s growing up when you can finally party all night long

It’s growing old when it bothers you that the neighbors are doing it.

It’s growing up when you realize that there is so much left to learn,

It’s growing old when you realize that there are so many more to teach.

It’s growing up when you realize that life is hard and things always change,

It’s growing old when you realize that you have been hardened by the way things    have changed.

It’s growing up when you realize that appearances really do matter,

It’s growing old when appearances do not matter to you.

It’s growing up when you finally realize that marriage is work,

It’s growing old when you retire from your job and you are still working on your marriage.

It’s growing up when you move out of your parent’s house,

It’s growing old when you have to move in with your kids.

 

I realized yesterday that I am really growing up, I did a couple of things that I would normally never do and the thing about it is that I did them because I wanted to. PLAID. I actually bought plaid shorts because I thought they were cute. The last time I wore plaid was literally the 3^rd grade when those one-piece body suites were popular that snapped between the legs. Who ever came up with that non-sense? It’s no wonder it didn’t last that stuff is for babies; it was the most uncomfortable thing I think I ever had to wear. Imagine at 8 years old in the bathroom having to bend over and button these little bitty buttons between your crotch. I guess looking back I can be somewhat thankful for that ugly bowl hair cut that made me look like a boy because after all, my hair could have ended up in the toilet or on that nasty bathroom floor while I had my head bent over trying to snap them tiny buttons. Any ways the point to the story was that my one piece body suite was plaid and I hated it and I thought I would never wear plaid again. That is until yesterday when I was fathers day shopping and these cute little pink one caught my eye. Ok I guess I’m not growing up too much because they are pink. I can’t help it though I’m girly.

Then I did something else that I have never done. It was a tremendous accomplishment in my book considering how resistant I am to change and trying new things. I bought salmon; real salmon, and I cooked it. Not only did I cook it; but I ate it too. Why is this such a big deal? I haven’t eaten one single piece of fish since I was 4 and my mother lied to me and told me it was chicken; which I probably would have believed if it didn’t taste all lemony. That aside the smell is just disgusting and something I would rather not have in my mouth if given the option. But I decided that I would roll the dice and see what happens. I got online and picked out a recipe and I have to say that it was decent. I don’t have anything to compare it to since I was a “seafood virgin” but my husband and stepson loved it and said it was great. I think they feel like they have to say that though so I’m leery of believing them.

Sequentially I caught myself trying to root a plant branch. I don’t know if it will be a success but the fact that the thought even crossed my mind has to mean something. Maybe I just want to accomplish making it grow, who knows. But I feel myself growing up a little more every day.

Live reality, don’t watch it!!

I personally, am not a huge fan of television! I usually turn it on for company; to kill the monotony of the day and I would normally say that I am almost always not listening to what ever it is, but today I surprised myself with the amount of thoughts that I suddenly found myself processing regarding pieces of things I didn’t even realize that I had heard.

 Our society is disgusting. What’s up with reality TV? How long are we going to sit around and watch other people live their lives? Instead of taking our kids out on a picnic, we gather around the demoralization of our society and watch other people take their kids out on a picnic. Instead of getting up and joining a gym, we sit around and watch other people’s triumphs and discouragements on their journey toward a healthier lifestyle; while we eat our fast food dinners.  We are enthralled with watching people who are scared facing fears, in pain, exhausted, and we laugh at the ones that wimp out and just can’t take it so that the “best” can move onto the next round. What about the Bachelor? What does that say about the guy, and especially the girls? You have an egotistical macho nacho big headed freak that actually believes all of America wants to see him sort through all of these pathetic little girls that actually exploit themselves in the “race” for his heart, simply because they do not realize their true value/ worth.  NO WONDER the divorce rate is so high here in America. Why in the world do we sit around and fill up on this kind of stuff? If we weren’t so interested in this sort of crap they would pull it off the air waves; instead they keep coming up with more and more ideas that are dumber, crazier and shallower than the previous ones because that’s what we thrive on.

 I saw this commercial for the “ I’m a celebrity, get me outta here”  where that stupid girl says “I want the bees for Sanjaya”  then it shows his screaming and running away swatting at all of these stinging creatures. It’s repulsive, and I literally can not believe that people find this type of show in any way entertaining, or conducive to becoming a better person. I don’t know how the show works and I will not watch it to find out but whoever votes on what happens to those people deserve nothing less than that in which they wish on them.

 Come on people. JOIN LIFE!!!. Quit watching reality  TV  and get up and do all of the things you never thought you could. Face your own fears, lose some weight, spend quality time with your own family instead of spending it with your television. If you can’t travel around the world, just travel around to a new side of town, visit a new park climb a mountain and find your echo; SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS “I AM ALIVE AND I AM GOING TO LIVE” Ride a bike, make a friend, try something new different and daring. There may not be a huge cash prize to entice you; but what if I told you that you will never get voted out, and the only pain inflicted upon you will be growing pains from the happier more fulfilled person you will become. That may not actually be enough to do the trick  it seems as if people now days are happier watching others fail than self improvement. let’s change that!  LIVE REALITY, DON’T WATCH IT!!!!
