Medical Care
Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement. The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The second sees his family doctor after waiting 7 weeks for an appointment, then waits 25 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another 4 weeks and finally has his surgery scheduled for 10 months from
then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first lives in America.
The second lives in Canada where the government is in charge of the healthcare.
Now, think about it. Which one would you really choose? Remember to choose well this November or you won't get a choice to choose.

Ghetto
I went to the ghetto today. MAN! I felt like a fish out of water!!! I had to get my drivers license renewed so I went to the local BMV near my work. The license expired on Monday and I forgot to go...high ho high ho it is off to the ghetto I go!
Does anyone know when this particular license become so expensive? I did have to pay a $5 late fee but even with that added charge I thought the cost was excessive! I paid $24.50! What happened to this cost? I know the last time I only paid $5-7 bucks!
My day was made!
Someone just made my day! The lady who owns the spa and salon, the one which I plan on purchasing next year, just called me and said, “I just wanted to say that you are a very special person and I wanted to wish you a good day.” That really cheered me up! Her saying this also reminded me that I want to be more of a positive influence. I can get caught up with the day to day and I forget to say or do the little things, which causes so much happiness with others. I am going to try to do something nice for someone everyday. It could be just a smile, however I know my actions will have positive reactions.

Sniff, Sniff
What does this all mean?
This morning I was speaking with my friend and we both spoke about not knowing what our future holds or where we should be headed. Sometimes it is best to just let go and see what happens and other times you must speak and actively do something to make things happen. This is what is so hard for me.
When I came into work, I looked at my emails. I have subscribed to receive an uplifting email and this is what it said this morning:
I never just know where these things will go.
Hard to say.
I simply hold the intention to get under your skin and aim my poetic bow straight for your heart.
Like now... have not a clue as to what will come next.
But I don't worry about that. I know if I do what I can, with what I've got, the illumination and insights I need to achieve my intention have to flow. And so I pull back the quiver as best I can, and start writing.
Next thing we know, computers are humming like bees, hearts are beating like metronomes, eyes start darting like fireflies, and gifts are exchanged. For you, I trust the gift is received in that moment. For me, that you "are," that you even breathe, and that just maybe, your load may be lightened, are mine.
Yeah, quite the deal -
The Universe

Too much
Thursday, July 12, 2007
I swear I am going to use number 28 on boss 2
21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.
22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
23. And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...?
24. Do I look like a people person?
25. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.
26. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.
27. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.
28. If I throw a stick, will you leave?
29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
30. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed
Last night I went crafting. We made 4 cards. I did a bad, hum, really bad, job on one of them. I heard my friend Judy, who sat next to me, say she gives her not so good looking cards to people she doesn't like. I wonder if she actually signs her name when she send those ugly cards? My problem is I would be embarrassed to send ugly cards out...even to those who deserve it.

Men Jokes
Some of these are cute.
1)Men who have pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
2) Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible. In a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
3) Men are very confident people. My husband is so confident that when he watches sports on television, he thinks that if he concentrates he can help his team. If the team is in trouble, he coaches the players from our living room, and if they're really in trouble, I have to get off the phone in case they call him.
4) All men are afraid of eyelash curlers. I sleep with one under my pillow, instead of a gun.
5) A good place to meet a man is at the dry cleaner. These men usually have jobs and bathe.
6) Men are sensitive in strange ways. If a man has built a fire and the last log does not burn, he will take it personally.
7) Men have higher body temperatures than women. If your heating goes out in winter, I recommend sleeping next to a man. Men are like portable heaters that snore.
8) Women take clothing much more seriously than men. I've never seen a man walk into a party and say, "Oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed; get me out of here. There's another man wearing a black tuxedo."
9) Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.
10) No man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.
11) Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie THE WAY WE WERE twice, voluntarily.
12) Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him, "Are we going to have sex again?" He said, "Yes, but not with each other."
13) Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you..... I want to marry you..... I want to have your children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.
14) Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with super heroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.
15) Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause -- you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause -- you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.
16) Men forget everything; women remember everything. That's why men need instant replays in sports. They've already forgotten what happened.

Amen
Are you sure I can't say these outloud?
11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.
12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a damn.
14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
19. What am I? Fly paper for fools?
20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

Omega 3
Many months ago, my massage therapist told me that she had an uncle who started taking Omega 3. It wasn’t long after taking these he found his blood pressure to drop significantly. In fact, he was taken off blood pressure medication altogether.
A couple weeks ago, my brother went to his doctor for a check up. One of his cholesterol levels was high and he was told to start taking Omega 3. When he told me this, I told him I had some in the fridge and he was welcome to take them. I hadn’t only taken a couple and there were plenty. I then decided I should start taking them too. (I soon remembered why I had stopped taking them.) When you take Omega 3, you must also eat something or you will not like the taste, which appears in your mouth. So, I got over that and have been eating ¼ of a pop tart (healthy!) with an Omega 3 vitamin. It has been approximately 3 weeks or so, give or take.
This morning I went to see my doctor for a follow up. My blood pressure was the lowest it has ever been in my life! 112/82 was what it read and that is even having it taken at the doctor’s office. Normally, my pressure runs higher at the office. I have to contribute the numbers to the Omega 3 and will continue to take the gross tasting pill every morning.

Gifts for the grads
I heard on the radio today that the most requested gift for a graduate in Europe is plastic surgery. One of the girls said it was the best gift because you can pick out what you want (or size) and it will last a life time. The number one gift in America is money. I guess American’s don’t want to seem as vein so they ask for money and then spend it on plastic surgery. When I graduated, money was just becoming a popular thing to give. If I had a do over, I don’t know what I would ask for. The money was a good thing but it spent so quickly. I always loose jewelry so that wouldn’t have been too good. I wouldn’t have chosen plastic surgery, even if it were an option back then. That have would be too scary for me. I do have some things missing from my life but other than God, I suppose no one could have given those gifts to me.
What would you want for your graduation gift if you got to choose?

Shocker at Mickey D's
I haven't been to McDonald's in a long while and was shocked to see this. You can now rent DVD's at McDonald's for $1 a night. Has anyone else seen this at any other locations?
TGIF
I am pretty tired today. I just took a vitamin, which will help me perk back up. Until then I will do my best not to crawl under my desk and take a little nap.
Things are tense here at work. Very tense and I am afraid boss 1 is going to explode. I believe he is hiding what his true feelings are in regards to the partnership. Boss 2 doesn’t know how to sell. He continues to sit at his desk and UPS’s literature. He is doing what an inside salesperson does. I can’t believe boss 1 doesn’t go postal on him.
I broke down and purchased coffee this morning. I just love drinking gourmet coffee. The only issue is the calories consumed. Since I drank the coffee, even using skim milk, I have had my quota of calories for an entire lunch. So right now I am having water with a cup of fruit. This afternoon should be real fun once I get good and hungry. Hunger brings out the beast in me.

Surfing
Yesterday while surfing through our tv channels, I found a very fun and interesting craft show on PBS. While most of the crafts are for children, I thought I would definately have fun doing some of them too. It is fun for the entire family!
Here is the lady's website: http://www.donnasday.com/
Take a look at her video to show what her show is all about. I think she is fantastic!
Let me know if you try out any of her crafts!

Is this Monday?
Well both bosses are in today so it is such a treat for me. On Tuesday, boss 2 came in (like every day) and said, "Well, the gang is all here!" I, had to open my big, fat mouth and said, "The gang is ALWAYS here!" Why is this bad? Because boss 1 and boss 2 are actually the OUTSIDE salemen of this company!! Neither of them can do much sales when they are sitting at their desk! I don't have a problem with boss 1....normally, he is out trying. Boss 2, I am keeping track of the days he is in. I believe it is going to be quite interesting. I will keep you informed!!!
Hope everyone had a safe 4th! I was up until midnight because we had 4 set of neighbors all around us setting off fireworks until then. Some of our other neighbors were very upset...not only could they not sleep, they said they were afraid to even try to go to sleep because they were afraid their houses would catch fire. I don't understand why people think they can let off those big fireworks in a neighborhood. Especially since last week, right down the road, there was a fire from fireworks and the family lost EVERYTHING! The neighbors to right turned their sprinklers on just in case a flame fell into their yard or got on their fence. I watched for a minute or 2 outside but my heart started fluttering when the flames were right over my head. I had to go back inside. SCAREY!!

WWJD?
Whenever I see things like this, it makes me automatically thing..."I didn't realize he was lost." I do realize what it is they are referring too, I just don't understand why they have to put it in your face this way.
So Bad Their Good
1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent
2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.
4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
5. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
6. A man goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home'." "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" "Well, 'It's Not Unusual'."
7. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially seminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.
8. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.
9. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.
10. I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
11. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't - I've cut off your arms!"
12. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel.
13. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.
14. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says "Dam!".
15. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of his office and asked them to disperse. "But why," they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
16. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain - they name him "Juan".

Her husband responds, "They're twins! you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
17. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him.... (Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good)......A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Quote Found
The quote I was missing, well Boss 1 had it the entire time!!! Here I was sweating where it could have gone...I am just so darn HAPPY that it was found.
Pretty Good Day for a Monday
I have gotten so much done today! There is one thing still sitting on my shoulders, but I can't find what it is, which I should be quoting!! (Not good!)
Stomach was upset this morning but it seems to be doing better right now.
I asked Boss 1 out for lunch. It was a very nice lunch. I feel like we are back on track at least for the moment. Give me just a few hours or ... worse, have him ask me about that quote and it will all turn sour again!
I am SO looking forward to having Wednesday OFF!!! Come on Wednesday!! WHOOT!!!
