Let's start with ... Happy birthday mummm!
I stare a blank screen and cursor flashing at me while I try to remember what it was I wanted to write about. Usually I've had an idea in mind and when I finally get around to sitting down, I forget half of it and stare somewhat goofy faced wondering what I was doing! Scary innit, but that's what getting older and letting your mind go lax can do!
Here's one of the things on my mind today. Does anyone on my FL crochet? Sew? Do needlepoint or cross-stitch? I know there are communities out there to discuss that kind of thing, but this is my LJ and I'm asking! Anyone do other arts and craft work? So, discuss!
Every time I go to a hobby/craft store, my husband's worst nightmare, I think, is don't let her find a NEW hobby! This is list of what I dabble in:
Cross-stitch
plastic canvas needlepoint
embroidery
jewelry making and other bead work
fabric painting
Dollhouse miniatures
Making doll clothes, accessories, and furniture
floral arrangements
Candle making
soap making (melt and pour, I'm not ambitious enough to try cold processing nor do I want to work with lye)
There are probably piles of things out in the cabinets needing homes and screaming... MAKE SOMETHING WITH ME!!!
I never really picked up on crochet or knitting, but evidenced by the mention of doll things, I prefer working in small scale. That remind me, I need to ask Mom if she still has that loom set and if she does and wants to get rid of it to send it out.
Something to think on for today:
Your dreams are more than just random firings of the brain, CATHY. They can indicate unresolved issues, stresses, deep desires, and lost memories. Further, they can prove instrumental to understanding yourself, and even in solving problems. Many advocate keeping a dream journal, given the power within your subconscious and all that can be learned from it. Consider examining your dreams of late. Analyze them to see if there is something you need to recognize.
I had this dream the other night... and I think I need to write it up. Sunday might be a good time.
Things that have been hiding in my e-mail:
Mood Ring
My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods. We've discovered that when I'm in a good mood, it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a big red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he'll buy me the diamond I asked for.
Oral Sex
5,000 men were asked to complete a survey on what they liked best about 'Oral Sex':
3% liked the warmth.
4% enjoyed the sensation.
93% appreciated the silence.
Dear Employees
Dear Employees,
Due to the current financial situation, caused by the economic slowdown, your Senior Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
Persons, who have been RAPED, can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).. Obviously, persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.
Persons, who are not RAPED and are staying on, will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of SHIT it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor. They have been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle..!
Enjoy the new term!
Sincerely,
The Management

As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think. If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting. Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it. Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her. Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?', here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!
I realized that there are several notifications in my mailbox for the random facts meme, so I need to get my finger out of my ear and get that done! Also have some comments to answer for LJ that have been sitting there a while.
