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.
