There are two words that have disappeared from the English language. They are “You’re welcome.” These two words have been replaced with “No problem” or “Not a problem.”

    I myself have a “problem” with this phrase. What happened to just a plain old “You’re Welcome?”

    When I do something for someone, I am not looking to the other person to tell me that it was not a problem. If it WAS a problem, I'm sure you would not have done it in the first place.

    A simple “You’re welcome” would suffice.

    Thank you for reading!

    I have learned a valuable lesson the past couple of days. There are a lot of mean spirited people in this world. Mainly in my little world. What I don’t understand is why? Why be mean to another person? What do you gain from that? Do people get some kind of sick pleasure hurting others?


    I myself try to be as kind as possible. I like to be nice to people and help out as much as I possibly can. I guess it’s just my nature. Everyone gets angry at some point in their life, but I try not to anymore. I try to look at the brighter side of things when something goes wrong. This makes me a stronger person and more able to get through the tough times.

    But……….if you cross me, you may want to watch your back. I can forgive you, but I will always remember what you did and you will pay for it eventually. Not directly from me of course, but there is this thing called “Karma.”

    I am a very firm believer in Karma. Hey, what comes around, goes around. If you want to be ignorant and mean to people, you just better be prepared for what happens next!

     It is time to change my “world.”

I believe----Or maybe I don’t

    That is the question of the day. How do you know when to believe someone? Do you believe and trust first until the person proves you wrong, or do you NOT trust or believe until they prove you should?

    Neither is right or wrong. You can get hurt either way. I believe that it depends on the situation and the person and people involved. Here is an example.

    Let’s say you have been dating someone for a while. You think everything is going fine. You go to movies, share dinners and feelings. You spend nights together on very special occasions, and he is there for you and your kids. He tells you that you are the only one and there is no one else. But, he cancels at the last minute, and has a hard time making concrete plans. It is always “Let’s play it by ear.” To me, that phrase means, “Sure, we can go out, but only if nothing better comes up.” You are feeling like you are on the back burner, but why? He says he is not seeing anyone and YOU BELIEVED HIM.

    Now you find out he has been lying all along to you. He has played you for a fool. You have fallen for some man’s stupid crap--------- AGAIN.

    So, now I am changing my ways. I will NOT trust until that man PROVES he is trustworthy. I have always put my full trust into a man at first and each and every time I have been burned. Not anymore. I am done walking around with blinders on when it comes to men. I think I deserve better! In fact, I KNOW I deserve better and I am glad that the bad rubbish is finally gone in my life.

Nesting

    Nesting is a term that women use when they are close to giving birth. It means creating a warm and loving home and environment to welcome their baby home.

    I am having that same feeling. No, I am not ready to give birth. I did not realize that this feeling could apply to me at this time in my life. My “baby” is six years old. He has been nested. So have the other for quite some time now. I think my feelings stem from what I am going through right now in my life. For many years I never felt as though I had a home. Sure, I had a house to live in, but a home is different.

    I am a few months to finally having that “home” I have been dreaming about for so long. I have never decorated a house to make it a home, because I always felt like I had to flee at a moments notice. Now I have no where to go except to my new “home” and I cannot wait to get there and get settled. I have so many plans to decorate, and make it my place.

   On June 5th I will open the door to my new life and my new “HOME.”

      Welcome home Bev!

I-Pad

I am not one to get into the latest gadgets that are around. I am a “pencil & paper” kind of person. I feel that when I write things down, I remember them better. I have seen my daughter with just about every new gadget there is. When one comes out, she has to have it. Except the I-Pad. I think this is the adult version of the I-Pod Touch. It is bigger for us older folks, and has a wonderful feature that really caught my eye---- a place to download books. I think it is a lot better than the Kindle because there are so many more things you can do besides read on it. See the features below. All in all, I do not care if it has a funny name

I absolutely love this song!

There is only one person I think of when I hear this.

Sabotage

The above word is a very interesting word. Here is the official definition:

sab•o•tage (s b -täzh )
n.
1. Destruction of property or obstruction of normal operations, as by civilians or enemy agents in time of war.


2. Treacherous action to defeat or hinder a cause or an endeavor; deliberate subversion.
tr.v. sab•o•taged, sab•o•tag•ing, sab•o•tag•es
To commit sabotage against.

I think they forgot to include number three. Okay, I will add it myself.

3. To knowingly ruin or attempt to ruin a relationship between two people you may or may not know, to benefit your own self.

In other words, say you are in a relationship. It is going well, and there is another person on the outside that wants you out of that relationship because they want the relationship. Are you with me so far? People who do this are immature, jealous, and have very low self-esteem. They cannot accept the fact that they are not wanted by this person. They are so blinded, they go as far as creating lies and fabrications to break these two up so they themselves could have a chance at romance and or love with this person. I feel sorry for people like that.
