They say that attractive people have it easier in life... or that they have more opportunity or whatever. I mean, there have been hundreds of studies done on this and, even from a very early age, we notice and prefer beauty. I guess I've always had issue with this, mostly because my idea of anattractive person could be vastly different from other ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder what I would have done/been/pursued had I not walked down the path I am currently on... not like in a regretful, longing way though. I'm not talking about that missed opportunity or if that relationship in college would have worked out and not something I can do now (for whatever reason). I'm talking about what I would have been ( Read more... )

So, I really don't have a resolution for this year per se. But I do have goals that I'd like to accomplish. Some are little and might take less than a day, others are larger. Some might seem foolish and some might sound really anal. So, here we go (in no particular order, and I added detail as I saw necessary both for me to remember and for you ( Read more... )

 I've been forgetting to post... I've been mentally tallying a list of what I'm thankful for but now I've forgotten ( Read more... )

Recently, on the Vegetarian/Vegan SparkTeam, someone asked about how to reserve certain dishes for veg*ns (common term used to mean both vegetarian and vegan - since they both start with veg and end with an n) so that the typical, meat-eaters, don't use the dishes as their side dishes. It brought up a lot of people talking about what they do at ( Read more... )

Today I am thankful for heating pads. I often sleep with my king sized heating pad. It's not the best one in the world (it has a flakey auto-off feature) but it's big and it is perfect to warm my feet on cold nights, soothe girls cramps and warm sore muscles. My cold seems to be turning into some sort of upper respiratory infection so I am in bed ( Read more... )

Ugh. I really hate politics but still today I am thankful for my right to vote. Even more so, I am thankful for my right to share my views. But yes, I do hate politics. Politics and religion are too intertwined and I personally would be a lot happier if neither were a focal point in life ( Read more... )
