I LOVE the way we make each other think.

I have my favorite bloggers, as most of you do. And I Love the way they make me think. But most of the time my response/comment gets so long I delete it and say to myself "I'll blog instead". Then I don't take the time.
Michiannared, a dear Friend, and one of my favorite bloggers inspired me today with her blog on past relationships.
I'm a people watcher, and the way I see it there are a lot of people that had a wonderful relationship and now are widowed. They want someone just like the one they lost. Not gonna happen folks, sorry. There are divorced people who are looking for the same/same one, because they were the cause of the divorce and now they are sorry and can't get over loosing the one they hurt. As I see it, if they got back together with that person there would be so many changes they probably wouldn't make it the second time around either. People grow and change. If you realize that and put the past in the past where it belongs, the future would look a lot better. Everyone has the capacity to be Cheaters, Abusers, Drug addicts, Alcoholics, Bad money handler, Overly critical, Socially retarded, Lazy, Politically incorrect, and many other things to numerous to mention, that cause break-ups. We don't say "Can't wait to find me another one like that". No, we say "Never again", but studies have shown that most of the time we gravitate to the same kind of people. Even when we think we have gone as far the other way as we possibly can, eventually we fine some of the same traits in the 'new' person if we are looking for them. That's because we are all human. Some human frailties we can forgive and move on , some we can't. I feel it's a conscious choice we make.
Having rambled on with my personal opinion, let me tell you about Me.
In my marriage I was made to feel inferior, dumb, inadequate, and pretty close to being a slave. I was accused of being unfaithful and under suspicion constantly. I had to account for every minute of my day. It wasn't till after my divorce that people (Friends???) told me of his affairs. I was told if I left him he would take my children away. The only way I coped was to spend my time raising my children, and in a way that they wouldn't be like him, if possible. I'm so glad to be away from that. I Love my life now.
Since my divorce I've had two serious relationships. Both of them started out with them offering me the world, and I got sucked in. Both turned out to be Needy, Clinging, Users, with no character, moral or otherwise. I'm glad to be out of both. If I feel myself being attracted to someone, that's the first thing I look for. So far I haven't met one that doesn't have those traits.
Most of the men I meet want to 'Teach me', 'show me the world', 'expose me to the finer thing in life'. LOL....I guess it's because of my life style. I'm just a Country Girl, and that's all I want to be.

Seems a lot of us are asking for Prayers.
This is not the first time I've asked you all to ban together in Pray for some one. Today it's my 43 yr. old Daughter, she has lung cancer.

............To leave the Nash-Bash when everyone was having so much fun. My Daughter lives in Tupelo MS, so I left Nashville Sunday around noon, to visit her. The gang was in the Hospitality room having a great time when I left. It sure was hard to leave, but I wanted to spend time with my Daughter. I left Tupelo around 4 p.m. Monday, and arrived home 5 a.m. today (Tuesday). I missed the Pajama party, so someone needs to call me and give me the details.
When I get more time, and caught-up on my sleep, I will write more. Till then, don't believe anything they say about me........

Recently,I went to Albuquerque to meet my Friend thatbillguy for a Pow-Wow. I had worked till 2 a.m., came home, took a shower, dressed, got my bags and went straight to Tampa. I was a little early, but didn't dare sit down, or I would have went to sleep. I parked my car in 'Economy Parking', took the shuttle to the terminal. While I was going through the baggage check, another woman right beside me said "Is this where they undress us?" and laughed. I said "Must be, but if I take off more than my shoes, somebodies' got to buy me dinner, or at least breakfast". She laughed, and when we finished, we sat down together. Turns out she has a crazy sense of humor, like mine. She was on her way to Alaska to marry a man she met online. She had only saw him on WebCam, but she was ready to go even against her families warnings. We traded e-mail addresses, and phone numbers. We were on the same flight to Dallas Fort Worth, but we didn't sit close enough to talk. We got separated on arrival, and I never saw her again.
Last Night she called me. I had called her twice with no answer. She said she had been to busy to call back, but things are wonderful, shes happy he's great and all is well.

A follow-up of yesterdays blog about my 'PROBLEM'

For those of you who read my blog, you will know what I'm writing about.
I told my story about the hair removal incident to my co-workers. Two Mexican ladies in their mid forties. They laughed like some of you said you did. I'm laughing now even though at the time I saw no humor at all.
Anyway, around 11 P.M. we were on the second floor balcony when someone from below called out "Excuse me". We looked over the railing and saw a young man, mid twenties maybe. I said "Yes, can I help you"? He said, "I go to college here, and I'm trying to call a friend that lives around here, and my phone died. Is there somewhere I can plug-in for a couple of minutes so I can call him"? Without hesitation, I said, "Just a minute, I'll come down". I didn't realize, until I turned around and saw their faces, how frightened the girls were. I wasn't afraid, but in the elevator I called the Security guard, and asked him to drive by the student center. He said "I'd be glad to, but I'm already home". O-K, so who is here? No one, only four women, the three of us in this building, and one in another. He told me I shouldn't let him in, but use my own judgment. I talked to him for a minute or two while I let the young man in and showed him a plug. He made his call, and then started asking me if he could help me stack chairs, or help us clean to pay Me back for helping him out. He made a comment about this being the last cleaning for awhile, because classes are over. I said "NO, we still work every night". I refused his offer of help, and ushered him out the door. When I got upstairs, I found the girls had locked themselves in. But before they did that, they had went down the outside stairs and watched us through the windows. They were very frightened, and said what if there were more, and maybe he was distracting us so they could break into our cars? So we checked, and looked around, all the usual things. I called the other girl to see if she was alright, and warn her that there was someone on campus. Seeing they were still frightened, I said "What could he have done? I he was here to steal something, I wouldn't have fought him for it. Heck, I would have helped him tote it out, if that's what he wanted". O-K, now they're smiling. "And if he tried to RAPE me, all I would have to do is drop my pants, and say Come on Baby I've been waiting for you a LOOOng time. When he got a look at my 'RED MANGE' he would've ran like a scalded dog". Now they're laughing, and the tension is gone.
I could say, "Just another work day/night", but after-wards the girl that had been pouting for two day because I had to have a talk with her about her attitude, suddenly became Friendly again. Ain't Life Grand ?????

First a little background info to let you know how this happened.
Awhile back my Friend Shay wrote a blog about buying things from Television adds. You know those 'Miracle' products that never work at home like they did in the add. She said she had found one that really did what if said it would. It's called 'SMOOTH AWAY',and it removes hair from your body painlessly.
I saw them in the Drug store a couple of days ago and bought me one. I read the directions which said, "make 3 circles clockwise, and 3 circles counter clockwise". Everything worked just like it said, and my legs were de-haired, and ex-foliated, even though it took quite a while. Then I tried the small one on my upper lip, and that worked too. Amazing, I kinda like this thing. Then I tried my underarms, and was disappointed. It didn't work so well there. Now, how about that other area, do I dare? If you know me, you already know the answer to that.
Soooooo, I proceeded to do the 3 clockwise, and 3 counter clockwise, even though I couldn't see. Some of you know how that is, you pull the tummy back to see, and the Boobs are in the way, you pull the boobs back, and now the Tummy blocks your view. O-K, so I work as best I can round and round. After awhile, I stop and feel to see how it's going, or not going LOL. OMG, what is that? I grabbed a mirror, and looked. I hadn't removed any hair at all, just matted it together in these huge hairball looking things. Some of them looked like DREADLOCKS. I grabbed some duct tape out of the kitchen drawer, taped my Boobs to my sides,so I could see. I got the scissors and proceeded to clip them off, over the toilet bowl. One was so tight, I nipped my skin. I don't give up easily, so I trimmed the rest of the hair, and started over. I looked a couple of times, and it seemed to work in some places, and not in others. BUT, the whole area was looking kinda GROSS, and I really needed to finish the job. So I kept going. Till I felt this slight irritation, that quickly turned into a burn, then excruciating pain.
I took another look.
Have you ever saw a Dog with "Red Mange"? That's what it looked/looks like. Bright red skin, with patches of hair scattered around.
I grabbed the best lotion I have (a gift from Shay), and rubbed some in to stop the burn. Then I called my Best GF, and told her what had happened.
Me, "Hey, did you ever try your 'smooth away' on your Pubic area".
Shay, "No, why did you"?
Me, "Yes".
Shay, (Laughing) "How did it work for you"?
Me, "Well, I'm sitting here on the couch, with a fan blowing on it. It's covered in lotion, and THROBBING like it hasn't THROBBED in YEARS. It looks like a Dog with Red Mange, but the good news is, it smells like PINEAPPLE".
We talked some more, or I talked and she laughed, and it finally stopped burning so bad.
Then I went to work, and it started itching.
Shay said I should blog about this in the third person.
I decided not to, because I think if you can't laugh at yourself, you have no right to laugh at others. And I want the right to laugh at all of you when you do something dumb. 
That's my story, "laugh if you've got one".
P.S. "I'm glad I don't have a man that would see this, OMG  "

TRULY BEAUTIFUL
An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, were spending Easter Sunday at the zoo.
Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.
"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a girl in the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head.
His grandmother knelt down next to him "I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful!"
The boy looked up, "Really?" "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles."
The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."

My Guardian Angel

Do you have one? Mine has been working overtime lately.
Thursday I started to the Library to get some forms and information pamphlets so I could do my Taxes. Seems in '07 I had some Income that was out of the norm for me, and I wasn't sure how to handle it.
Anyway, I was barely on the road when I had this 'slam bang' noise that made me think I had a flat tire. I pulled off the road and checked but no flat. I looked all around the car and everything seemed O-K. I started out again, and about 1/4 mile and it did it again. I sounded like I ran over something, like a board, or piece of tire, something!!! I pulled into the closest place (Jim's Tires) and got someone to check all my tires, nothing. I asked where was the closest place with a lift and a mechanic that could check the underside, and he told me they had one.
The mechanic picked it up and checked everything on the underside, and all the tires, brakes, etc, and he found nothing. I told him since I was there could he check all my fluids. Turns out I was 3 qt's low on oil, and 1 qt low on Transmission fluid. That had nothing to do with my slam bang noise, but I was glad I went in. That's why I say I have a 'Guardian Angel', things like that happen to me all the time. I have something weird happen, I get it checked out and find a problem that could have been disastrous.
So I went on to the Library, after paying $9.63, thinking how lucky can I get. On the way home "OOOP'S" there it goes again. So I'm thinking "Darn" guess this wasn't one of those miracles after all. I called a Friend and offered to make him dinner if he would ride with me and see if he could figure out where the noise was coming from, but he couldn't do it till Sunday. I asked him to call me when he got home on Sunday, then I called another mechanic Friend, and his shop was closed. Next morning, Friday, I called him again and he was busy until around one. I called at one and he was on Lunch break. I called again at four and he was closed. I called my son at seven, and he was busy, but he said he would call me back, but he didn't. This morning I took off to his house, about 20 miles away, but he was out shopping with his 90 yr old Mother-in-Law (he takes her out every Saturday). I visited with my Daughter-in-Law till he came home.
Now after talking to everyone I thought might be of some help, I had been told it sounded like
1.A bad tire
2.Brake pads
3.Catalytic converter
4.or the U-Joint.
When he got home we took off, and drove about 2 miles before it happened again, and my Son almost jumped out of his skin. He said "Holy Chit, what was that"? "That was my noise"!!!!!! "Pull over" he said.
After poking and pulling all the way around the car, he got back in and we took off again. My idea was to get on a less traveled road and let him open the door slightly and see if he could better pin point where it was coming from. No sooner had I told him that, when he said "Pull over", again. He got out and reached up on the top of my car and pushed the rubber trim for my windshield off the roof. He laughed and said "There's your noise". "When did you go through the car wash last"? (Tuesday was a week ago, just before I went to Tampa airport).
I still say I have a Guardian Angel, because the first mechanic found my fluid problem, avoiding a disaster, I don't have to cook dinner for anyone unless I just want to, I kept missing the other mechanic, avoiding a service charge, AND there was no rushing today, and I had a nice Family visit.
The new mechanic pulled it off, and will put a new one on next Wednesday.
Beware those automatic car washes....
