Work

Okay....I'm officially pissed off.  I got canceled for work 2x in a row.  Last night and tonight. 

I am very lucky to be married to someone who makes enough money where I don't have to work.  But I like to work.  It gives me purpose and gets me out of the house.  I love what I do.  Also, my money is our mad money.  Vacations, buying furniture, going to movies, etc.  I like to have my extra money.

Plus, I've done some things around the house over the last several days where I spent extra.  I wouldn't have spent so much over the last week had I known I was only going to work  17 hours. Pooh!  I still have money, but...

Thank you God and Jesus above that my husband has a well paying job and that I can work, too.  Amen.

End of rant.

 

What will you be reincarnated as?

What will you be reincarnated as?

You will be reincarnated as a Tree: You were meant to be here longer than your time as a human. Stubborn, wise and strong, you are The Ancient One.


Hmmmm.....not that I believe in this, but it is fun and interesting.  Let me know your results.

Saturday Six (On Saturday this time!)

Saturday Six

2. Who is your worst enemy at the moment?  (First names only, please.)  Why is that person your enemy?  My ex-neighbor Roxanne.  Cause she thinks she is soooo much better than anyone else, especially me. 

3. Which one of the following annoys you most when you encounter a new blog?
    a. Constant grammatical errors.
    b. Constant spelling errors.
    c. Contrived "street" language.
    d. Too many "nothing happening today" entries.  Don't really have an opinion on this one yet as I am pretty new to the blogs.

5. What is the last thing yousaid to a person face to face?  Who was that person?  My husband.  "I love you!"

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #59 from Debi:  When you shower, do you ever think of the Alfred Hitchcock movie, "Psycho?"  Are you kidding?  I'm not that paranoid!

What's Your Policitical Persuasion?

What's Your Political Persuasion?
You Are a Capitalist Republican
Money makes your world go round - and it's no surprise that you always vote your wallet.

You're financially successful (or plan to be), and your agenda is low tax and pro business.

You don't get fired up about abortion... but mention capital gains tax, and you go crazy.

You want government to be as small as possible - and to stay out of the way of business.



I've always considered myself to be so.  What about you? 

What Is Your Stand?

I can't remember whose blog this came off of, but I stole and and sorry I can't give credit.  But at least I'm not claiming it as mine.  Love to read your comments...and be honest!

 

Abortion? Nobody's business but you & God.

Death Penalty? Do the crime, pay the time.

Prostitution? Come on guys, are you that desperate?

Alcohol? Absolutely.

Marijuana? Might as well be legal.

Other drugs? Just don't come in my ER overdosing.

Gay marriage? Are you crazy?

Illegal immigrants? Nuff already!  But if you are here, at least learn the damn language.

Smoking? Not very pretty, as a matter of fact it makes you look pretty ugly.

Drunk driving? Driving to die.

Cloning? YES! I want spare parts.

Racism? For the simple minded.

Premarital sex? Don't ask, don't tell!

Religion? Freedom of...not freedom from.

The war in Iraq? Needed to happen for a long time... 

Bush? ...wasn't afraid to take it on.

Downloading music? Don't feel the need as I can't understand half of the crap out there these days.

The legal drinking age? 18...why not, they are drinking anyways.

Porn? For adults only! 

Suicide? Just make sure you do it right if you really mean it...and PLEASE don't feel like you have to take someone with you.  You picked that lonely journey, deal with it.

Saturday Six (okay...I know it's Thursday)

This is a little fun thing I have discovered.  You might want to give it a try and I'll try to remember to post new ones on Saturdays. 

Subject: Saturday Six

* * * * *

1. Who was your first best friend? How old were you when you two met? Are you still in regular contact with each other?  My first best friend that I can really remember was Anne C.  We met in the summer between my 5th and 6th grade year when she moved across the street from me.  We were friends for 20years until my ex got her in the divorce.  She has hurt me more than any person in my life ever has before and since.

2. Other than the "Saturday Six," what weekly or daily memes do you play most often? (Please give a link to that journal.)  I'm new to this blog thing so maybe I'll have an answer for you next time.

3. Which of the following likely has the bigger mess underneath it: your stove, your refrigerator, your couch or your bed? Hmmm.  I can't see under the stove, fridge or couch.  Maybe the bed?

4. Take this quiz: How long does MSN think you'll live? 105? Then take this one: How long does Blogthings think you'll live? 85.  Sounds more reasonable, but I'll take the answer behind door #1.

5. Do either or both of these motivate you to make any changes in your lifestyle? I think 85 is a pretty respectable age as long as I can still wipe my own butt.   According to the genius that is Internet Quiz, it looks like I'm doing everything right!

6. Name five things you would like to do by December 31, 2005.

Lose weight!

Pay off a lot of debts

Start going to church on a regular basis again

Convience my daughter she needs to live here full time

Get a new car :)

Junk Mail

U ever get frustrated about the amount of junk mail you get?  I do!  It has actually surpassed the amount of bills I get, and thought nothing could do that!  When I woke up today and went downstairs there was this huuuuge pile of junk mail sitting on the kitchen table.  I get really annoyed about it especially since I found out yesterday that the post"woman" was sending back Stephanie & Hannah's mail because their names were not in the box.  Now why would she pick their mail and send me every tom, dick, harry, and "current resident" mail in the world?  Made me mad!  Stephanie told her so too!  How does she decide which mail we should get?  Well...made me think about an Andy Rooney commontary I read.  I like Andy Rooney.  He gets to say what he really thinks and gets paid really well for it.  Here are his thoughts, what are yours?

(CBS) The following is a weekly 60 Minutes commentary by CBS News Correspondent Andy Rooney. It was first broadcast March 13, 2005. When I spoke about mail a few weeks ago, I said I often throw away a letter without opening it.

Tonight, I thought I’d tell you how I decide what to throw away.

First, if the word "important" is on the envelope, you can be pretty sure there's nothing important inside. Toss that! If it happens to be a bill, don't worry. They'll send another.

The word "important" has been used so much that it has lost its importance, so they now often substitute "urgent." Another variation on "important" is "do not discard." Discard any envelope with do not discard on it.

If the envelope says "open immediately," you know you can wait a few weeks. The variation on that is "time-sensitive material enclosed."

If you own a house, real estate operators are always waiting for you to sell it. Throw out any letter from a real estate business. That's especially true if the letter comes with a picture of the agent on it.

People who send commercial mail often use tape stickers for your address. If the sticker is stuck on at an angle, you know it’s a mass mailing and you can throw it out.

Letters with a code number above your name can go. You're not a person to them; you’re a number.

No day goes by that some credit-card company doesn't offer me a deal too good to resist. I resist by not reading any sales pitch from any credit-card company.

Both the school and the college I went to always want money. They pretend the letter is about something else but it's always about money. I give them some, but it only encourages them to ask for more. They could save money by not sending me letters I don't open.

I get mail every day with a lot of writing on the outside of the envelope. What do they have left to say inside?

Near the top of my list of mail I throw away without opening is anything that comes to my house addressed "Current occupant." I've been in the house for 53 years. I am not a "Current occupant." I'm at home.

Mail addressed "To our neighbors" is in the same category.

This is a letter I opened by mistake. It begins, "Dear Property Owner."

Well, how dear do you think I am to anyone who addresses me that way?

"Dear wastebasket. Here's a letter."

On another Sunday, maybe I'll talk about how to identify a voice on the telephone that’s trying to sell you something, so you can hang up without listening.

A History Lesson from the 1500s

Just sitting here at the puter doing my usual thang.  Just got through chatting with KatChav7.  Keep her in your prayers and thoughts.  She just went on a job interview and it sounded promising.  The school is just 5min from her house.  Would be 2 cool.

Gotta go to work 2night.  Last night I only worked 6hrs because we were soooo slow and waaaay overstaffed.  Not bad for a few quick buxx.  The only interesting thing that happened was after work.  I drove across the street to get everyone some cappacino, which should be no big deal right?  Well it was kinda like risking your life because the hospital where I am working is in little mexico.  Lots of immigrants, legal and otherwise, live round the hospital.  So you can imagine the collection at the Circle K.  The funnist thing was that this herion addict that we had just discharged was standing around there with some other buddies.  I swear.  The only reason he was in the ER was cause he was passed out on the side of the street and EMS brought him in.  So we just sobbered him up (a common practice in our ER) and sent him out.  I assume he was just gonna score again.  Sometimes I get sooo frustrated at the addicts, and there seem to be more everyday!  But about the coffee, let's just say next time I am driving 4miles to the QT in the white bred part of town!  Crazy!

Well, to the point of this entry.  I ran across this little bit of history and found it interesting so I thought I would pass it along.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  TTFN!

  Back in the 1500s

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

These are interesting...

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children Last of all
the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway.
Hence the saying a "thresh hold."

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added thing s to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much
meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.
Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoni ng death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." 

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury p eople. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through
the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the
bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

And that's the truth... Now, whoever said that History was boring ! ! !

Things About Iraq That Make You Go "Hmmm"

8/15/05 - Got a comment from someone regarding my references to this entry.  I do not have any references exept that it has been forwarded to me numerous times since 9/11.  I do not know the original author.   I posted this because it is informative and educational.  It is not my intention to offend anyone of a different faith, but I will not justify or be made to defend my own beliefs.  This is my blog and if you do not like what I write or post....tough!  This is America, Land of the Free...and the home of the !st Amendment.

But, in all fairness, I have done some research and found that everything in this text is true except the "Koran 9:11".  The whole verse is completely made up, and it actually isn't in the Koran at all.

The Koran is broken down into chapters called Surahs, and  Surah 9 AL-TAWBA (REPENTANCE, DISPENSATION) reads as follows:

009.011

YUSUFALI: But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practice regular charity they are your brethern in Faith: (thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand.

PICKTHAL: But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethern in reglion.  We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.

SHAKIR: But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethern in faith and We make the communicatiosn clear for a people who know.

So...my apologies for offending any one of the Islam faith.

*******************************************************

Got this in my email from my Mom today.  I think I've read it before, but I really read it this time.  Know what I mean?  Thought you might be interested too...

1.  The Garden of Eden was in Iraq.

2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!

3.  Noah built the ark in Iraq. 
<FONTCOLOR=BLACK>
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq!

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.

8.  Jona preached in Nineveh- which is in Iraq.

9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.

10. Amos cried out in Iraq!

11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.

12.  Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!

13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!)

14.  Belshazzar, the King of Babylon, saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

17. The wise men were from Iraq.

18. Peter preached in Iraq .

19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!

And you have probably seen this one.  Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq!  However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon Land, Shinar, and  Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name, Iraq, means country with deep roots.  Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.

 

And also...This is something to think about since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) 

Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

Note the verse number!Hmmmmmmm?!

 God Bless you all Amen!

Just Sitting Around

Kinda new at this thing.  I'm just sitting around right now doing my fav thing...nothing.  My 12 year old is at her dad's until end of Aug (hate it!), my 5 year old is in his room playing, and my 21 year old stepdaughter is out at a friend's house doing "school".  Husband is at work.  So I'm doing nothing and liking it.  Gotta work tomorrow so may as well chill for now.

Filled out Caleb's (5yr old) kindergarten registration.  I had to pick a hospital and doc but didn't know what to put down as we have only been living here 6months.  I could put the hospital where I work, but they don't have pediatrics, so what is the point really.  I could put his dad down for doc, but why?  Parents are notified of emergencies anyway.  Is this really as big of a deal as I make it?  No, of course not.  Just put something down and send it in...okay I did.  R U happy now?  David (husband) thinks I am crazy for even giving it one minute of consideration "more than it deserves", but I am the worry wort in the family.  Always gotta be prepared for the emergency.  He just kinda goes with it.  Knows he can handle any situation (he's an ER doc).  I'm pretty sure I can too, except it's your kids, you know. 

Hannah (12yr old) thinks I am way over-protective.  But hey, my kids are alive I say.  Course she is getting into the teen scene of sighing and rolling her eyes and just about getting popped on the head for doing so stage.  Her dad (my ex) is just a little to loose when it comes to security issues, but waaaay too strict when it comes to everyday life.  Poor kid, she can hardly breathe at either house sometimes.  Doesn't help we now live 1200 miles from each other instead of 1.  Something she doesn't let me forget but you gotta break those ties eventually, and I NEVER planned on living that close forever.  U just gotta adjust and move on.

Well, Stephanie (21yr old) just called and is asking questions for her extra-credit report due tomorrow.  Man am I glad I am through with school.  Well, I guess you are never through because things keep changing and you have "continuing eduction".  But the papers I used to have to write...yuk!  She is going to phlebotomy school then onto respiratory therapy.  That reminds me of one of my fav jokes: 

    How did God determine who were going to be respiratory therapists and who were going to be nurses?  He spit a loogey and all the nurses ducked! LOL! 

Well, better split.  Caleb is saying "what is taking Stephanie so long" and it is getting late.  Gotta get him to bed and me too since I gotta work 2morrow.
