    Can I help it if you don't pay attention when making the bet? I don't make you assume you heard what you think I said. I said what I said and meant what I said, that doesn't mean that you heard what I said. It only means that you heard what you thought I said.

     

    Now, that said what did I just say?

     

    lol

    huh?!@??# :) I'm not sure what you said there, but it's just a prime example of how you like to turn things around and around until neither of us know what you mean!!! LOL

    You already lost the last 2 bets, why go in for more punishment?

    Because this bet would be different. For one, the terms of the bet would be spelled out IN DETAIL so there's no chance of you charming your way around it or twisting the end result to suit your side, which you have been known to do. And because it's fun to bet against you...even if you cheat. :)

    I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me ...

    and as we start summer's long days we all could use a little calmness

    in our lives. By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally

    found inner peace.

     

    The article read: "The way to achieve inner peace is to stop,

    take a moment and glance around your home. Look for all the small

    things you've started but haven't finished. Then simply take the time to

    finish them. By finishing the small things you'll find tranquility."

     

    The next morning before leaving the house to begin a hectic day at work

    and a crowded schedule of family responsibilities, I remembered those words

    of wisdom. So, I stopped, took a look around, then sat down and finished off a

    bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, the Bailey's, the Kahlua ,

    A FEW BLOODY MARY'S, and the WildTurkey, then the Prozac, some

    valium, some cheesecake and a box of chocolates.

    You have no idea how freakin' good I feel.

    This reminds me of an outhouse story about my older brother. Hopefully, he'll never see this. A long time ago my family was camping in the northwoods. I was just a few months old at the time and my brothers were 3 and 4. The 3 year old had only been potty trained a few months at this point. At the campground, there was no plumbing so of course they had outhouses. Never having seen on before, my brother wasn't exactly eager to use it. He waited as long as he could and then finally walked over and went in. After several long minutes, my Mother became worried, thinking maybe he had fallen in the hole. She made my Father go check on him, and a minute later my Father exits the outhouse laughing pretty hard. My Mother, of course, asks him what's so funny. My Father reports that Bill is crouching next to the "hole", frustrated to the point of tears, because he can't find the handle to "flush"! This story still haunts my brother at most family get togethers.

    I haven't tried this diet myself but my supervisor and her husband were both doing it. They cut carbs completely from their diet for about 2 months, then one night her husband had some wine with dinner (very high in carbs, they didn't know it though) and the next day he had a doughnut at work. He ended up in the ER with breathing problems and chest pains because of the sudden change. I'm sure this isn't a common problem, but his doctor strongly encouraged him to stop the low carb thing because people tend to go to the extreme with it. Then when they lose the weight they want to lose and go back to normal eating habits, they often develop health issues. Carbs are a very necessary part of a balanced diet and cutting them is a bad idea. As was stated above, the best way is to eat in moderation and exercise on a regular basis.

    The class was supposed to write a short story in as few words as

    possible for a college class and the instructions were that it had to

    discuss Religion, Sexuality and Mystery. The only one who

    received an A+ wrote the following:

     

     

     

    Good God, I'm pregnant, I wonder who did it.

    It took me a while to decide what I was willing to share....

     

     

    1. I hate my name. First, middle, and last.

    2. I love the east coast and hope to move there some day.

    3. I wish I could go back to high school and do it over. Not for the social aspect, but for the education. If given the chance, I'd do better.

    4. I wish I were smart.

    5. Despite the fact that he often drives me to wanting to bang my head against a brick wall, VBG is my closest friend, and I will always be grateful to him for what he's given me.

    Forcing a woman to watch "The Dirty Dozen"? Sounds like you want to watch "Bridges of Madison County"!  :bow:

    I'm actually looking forward to the Dirty Dozen. I've seen bits and pieces of it over the years, but never the entire movie. And this idea was completely mine to make up for something I did a while back. There is no list for Kevin to watch. And I would never ask anyone to watch Bridges of Madison County. I couldn't stand that movie!

    1984 Blue Ford Tempo.....I think it was possessed. I can't count the times this car's engine would continue to run even after I had switched off the ignition and removed the key. And I don't mean that knocking that some cars do, this engine was still running as though I was sitting at a light or something. It also liked to accelerate by itself and I often had to ride the brakes to prevent speeding tickets. A friend and I drove to Madison one time and decided to let it loose on the highway...the car accelerated to over 90MPH before I stepped on the brakes. Very scary car. I don't miss it at all.

    Look at those evening shadows

    Casting a peaceful light

    The sun is disappearing

    ‘It’s a beautiful sight

    Moments caught forever

    By the Master’s touch

    A lasting reminder to us

     

    You only paint the picture once

    You only get one chance

    Take the time to do your best

    While the brush is in your hand

    Make sure it’s just right

    Before the colors dry

    You can’t change it once it’s done

    You only paint the picture once

     

    Love is the canvas

    That’s where it all starts

    A lifetime together

    Becomes a work of art

    Just look what’s been created

    Between your heart and mine

    Oh I believe that we’re one of a kind

     

    You only paint the picture once

    You only get one chance

    Take the time to do your best

    While the brush is in your hand

    Make sure it’s just right

    Before the colors dry

    You can’t change it once it’s done

    You only paint the picture once

     

    It’s a portrait of life

    You can’t live it twice

    You only paint the picture once

     

     

     

    Mod Note: Just added the spoiler around the song lyrics.
