got me suitcases
@ 14/10/2008 – 23:03:03
Well got me suitcases today only 2 months and i will be jettingover the atlantic to Chicago...it really seems so far away at the moment. I will really be missing DH bless him (well sometimes) He has been great these last few days. We also got some Christmas presents oh boy i hate saying that in October. I usually like to leave it as late as possible so as not to bend to the advertisers and shops forcing it on me but with having to send some abroad and also take some with me and of course leave some behind it was out of necessity really.
Oh btw Dh said if i go to America I am not going with those pink cases, I told him we would get him blue ones! They are really rather pink but at least I will see them coming on the belt even if it is foggy and the lights are out I will still see them, oh well if you are gonna make a statement may as well do it in a big way hey!

another heaven sent joke
@ 14/10/2008 – 09:00:57
The best-ever blonde joke!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
? A Blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon arrival, a concerned St Peter met her at the Pearly Gates.
>
> 'I'm sorry,' St Peter said; 'But Heaven is suffering from an overload of goodly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden of Heavenly Arrivals.'
>
> 'That's cool' said the blonde, 'What does the Entrance Exam consist of?'
>
> 'Just three questions' said St Peter.
>
> 'Which are?' asked the blonde.
>
> 'The first,' said St Peter, 'is, which two days of the week start with the letter 'T' '?
>
> The second is 'How many seconds are there in a year?'
>
> The third is 'What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'
>
> 'Now,' said St Peter, 'Go away and think about those questions and when I call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me.'
>
> So the blonde went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought (I expect you to do the same).
>
> The following morning, St Peter called upon the blonde and asked if she had considered the questions, to which she replied, 'I have.'
>
> 'Well then,' said St Peter, 'Which two days of the week start with the letter T?'
>
> The blonde said, 'Today and Tomorrow.'
>
> St Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided that indeed the answer can be applied to the question.
>
> 'Well then, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions?' St Peter went on, 'how many seconds in a year?'
>
> The Blonde replied, 'Twelve!'
>
> 'Only twelve?' exclaimed St Peter, 'How did you arrive at that figure?'
>
> 'Easy,' said the blonde, 'there's the second of January, the second of February, right through to the second of December, giving a total of twelve seconds.'
>
> St Peter looked at the blonde and said, 'I need some time to consider your answer before I can give you a decision.' And he walked away shaking his head.
>
> A short time later, St Peter returned to the Blonde. 'I'll allow the answer to stand, but you need to get the third and final question absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'
>
> The blonde replied: 'Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to answer.'
>
> 'Really!' exclaimed St Peter, 'And what is the answer?'
>
> 'It's Andy.'
>
> 'Andy??'
>
> 'Yes, Andy,' said the blonde.
>
> This totally floored St Peter, and he paced this way and that, deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any longer, and turning to the blonde, asked 'How in God's name did you arrive at THAT answer?'
>
> 'Easy' said the blonde, 'Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited till his billy boiled.'
>
> And the blonde entered Heaven... -
heaven and hell
@ 14/10/2008 – 08:58:16
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at
the entrance.'Welcome to heaven,' says St. Peter. 'Before you
settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom
see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.''No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up.
What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven.
Then you can choose where to spend eternity.''Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in
heaven,' says the senator.'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'
And with that, St. Pet er escorts him to the elevator , and
he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open , and he finds
himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance
is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and
other politicians who had worked with him.Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run
to greet him, shake his hand and reminisce about the good times
they had whi le getting rich at the expense of the people.They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on
lobster, caviar and champagne.Also present is the devil, who really is a very
friendly guy who has a good time dancing and tel ling jokes. They are
having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while
the elevator rises...The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reo pens on
heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit heaven.'So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of
contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing
the harp and singing. They have a good time and,
before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and
St. Peter returns.'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another
in heaven. Now choose your eternity.'The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean
heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be
better off in hell.'So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator , and he goes
down, down, down to hell.Now the doors of the elevator open , and he's in the
middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up
the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around
his shoulder. 'I don't understand,' stammers the senator. 'Yesterday
I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate
lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great
time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.
What happened?'The devil looks at him, smiles and says, 'Yesterday we
were campaigning ... Today you voted .¢ -
I am trying
@ 10/10/2008 – 21:45:01
I am trying to make things easier for DH he is very low at the moment. He is main witness to a horrific traffic accident, the motorbike rider died. He has given his statement today to the DC from police crash investigation. I also witnessed it but as he was driving they are taking his statement they say we both saw the same which we did but if I could take away his pain I would.
He was just on the rise too! So through no fault of his own he has the inquest to go to but that will be a good few months. I wish it were over he is not in a good place right now.
Other than that we are fine! -

melancholy
@ 03/10/2008 – 08:48:23
I just feel melancholy why? dont know.
I have a lot more going right than going wrong in my life well I think so so why do I feel sad today. Why is it you only need one bad thing and it pushes 99 good things away. Does everyone get this feeling from time to time. Living with a negative person doesnt help. I read an article that if you are in the company of negative people (yeah 24 hours a day!) you should say 'I will listen to you for 5 minutes then i dont want to hear any more negativity' I will try that one I bet I get into trouble for it! there I am negative again so I will do it and be positive, I think. I will certainly let you know how it works if I am not back within the week send out the search party!
