Finding Purpose Beyond Our Pain by Paul Meier,MD and David L. Henderson.MD

January 25th, 2010 by admin

Very interesting. I had read about Joseph, one of the stories written in the Bible. This was a very interesting item. I saw that he did not give in to his sense of injustice. But, rather , he had used his dreams to save Egypt from a seven year famine. So, instead of giving up, like most of us would, he had struggled through, AND , the Lord was with him, to help him out.

I read something that does make sense about people who are abused. Abused people are afraid to move on to a nonabusive life, for all they know is an abusive one. They become complacent in an abusive life as they are afraid to move on. Abuse is all that they know, and they do not yet know of a nonabused life.

Very interesting as it helps us deal with failure, loneliness, loss and other pain that commonly happens in life in a Biblical way.

I just updated my blog style.

The other style I had was getting old. So I thought I would use a pretty one that reminded me of my dear homeland, Florida, and especially it,s jewel city, Miami.

This scene here looks like a pool area in a nice hotel. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT WAS MIAMI!

Women’s Turquoise Watch

I have worn this watch once so far after I had gotten it and yes, I intend to wear it again soon. The few days that I didn’t wear the watch, I thought it was those wind-up type watches, where you had to wind it everyday? Well, I don’t think it is those. It is a battery-operated watch and ,even not worn those few days, it kept great timing. I am happy with it. I was a bit surprised that the turquoise deco didn’t go all around, but, it is a stretch band watch, so if you have a large wrist, this is good. It isn’t one of those set sizes, like a bangle watch would be. Those just bug me as I have a small wrist and i am TERRIFIED that it would fall off. I know I can fit those Asian Jade bangles , though.

I really love the turquoise on this watch though. It IS beautiful. Chee, I love turquoise, just like my big sister. Her and I have been very close throughout the years. I am sure she will “fall apart” when she sees this watch.

I got GiantMicrobes for review.I really do like these. I got the H.I.V. and the Louse.

They look, so close to the little microscope image of what they really do look like under the microscope.That is so cool. Well, at least you’ll catch their love, not the illness!LOL! Get the C.Diff one if someone you know is in the hospital with a C.Diff attack. So they can SEE what is “bug”ging them! That would be cool!

GiantMicrobes.ca

They have the information tag on them to tell you about them and the damage they do to you or your pet, if a pet related organism. But, they ARE cute, if you ask me!
You just don’t want to BE a VICTIM of them! Or, in the case of pet microbes, the beloved pet/s of yours the victim/s.

I have really slowed down with complaining-Actually making the world a better place.

November 20th, 2009 by admin

I had a MAJOR problem with complaining months ago. Man, I would complain about money, the way that I lived in a small apt., when my sister, for example owned a house. And, really, just whatever there was to complain about. I remember feeling horrible about life at the time.

One day, though….

I turned over a WHOLE new leaf and stopped complaining for a day, to try it out.I reminded myself all that day, every time a complaining thought came into my thoughts, to try and stop that thought as fast as I could and really try to think of something to be thankful, happy, or anything positive about. Since that day, rarely had I had a complaining day.

Know what I have learned, doing this? I found that I feel so much better and more things are going right for me. I found that the positive “energy” attracts a lot more things than the old “negative” energy did. I have learned, that no matter how “poor” you seem physically, you really still can be happy inside.

Also:

I have learned to be thankful for what I H-A-V-E! I may not have a million material things, but, I do have a warm apartment, food, water and heat. As well as clean clothes. And a few nice things, which really are a bonus. I may WANT things, but, I reason, that even if I don’t have them now, I can still live nicely with things I do have with me at the moment. It isn’t like I am so jealous that I would do unethical things to get them, no. IF i get these wanted objects, well…bonus! If not, O WELL!

As long as there is a nice warm house to go home to and a good set of clothes to wear, good shoes and a warm bath before bed, good.And food on the table, ok. Those are what I am so thankful for. I have heard some really horrible horror stories of how people would go without these important things because of something, like medical bills. If you have read all that I have read of these cases, your hair WOULD TURN WHITE!

Cannot forget to be thankful about family. I find that I have taken them for granted when I was younger. Now that they live all over the place, I must be thankful at each time I see them.I think, better to live a thankful life than to die with regrets.

I have seen that since my attitude took a 360 degree turn, that I have felt so much happier and more thankful. I feel, now that I have little right to complain anymore.
Now that my basic needs and healthcare is met, I don’t need to complain. I have stopped most of the complaining. Rarely do I complain any more.

A cool Mario game and Editor review

November 19th, 2009 by admin

I went to SoftMedia.com and found a really good Mario game, Mario Forever. I downloaded it, and I do like it. It doesn’t seem too hard as of the part that I am at right now. But, I expect it to get harder as the game progresses. I really do like this game. There is an odd powerup that has the Mario throwing VEGGIE bombs at enemies when you push a button to throw a benefit from that powerup. I laughed at that one. Didn’t seem normal to have bouncing, exploding veggies. O WELL!

That.Was.Just.Weird. SoftMedia.com

That powerup has a strange green “vine” kind of growing out of the Mario,s hat.Instead of fireballs ,like the Fire Power Mario, it is bouncing, bomb vegetables. LOL! I was really laughing at those crazy veggies! When I tried this Veggie Power Mario, I just had to throw a veggie to see what would happen. The veggie rolled all over AND bounced around a few times, then went BANG! I don’t know WHO thought of this weird power for Mario. GOOD GOING,GUYS! :)

WAIT! You do NOT have to pay for this game! Is that ever a huge bonus. There is a small catch, though. But the catch means nothing if you look out for it and when it comes, just UNCHECK the Would You Like To Install “a” Toolbar? Catch. Just make sure you uncheck it out. Just be on the lookout for this and you should have no problems. I saw it and caught it and unchecked. Checked over my browser and no toolbar in FF.

AND!

Great news for the game customisers! There is another download for you! It is called Mario Worker. Make your own levels here. I tried it and loved it. Mario ALL YOU WANT and SHARE your Mario games with everybody! I just love this. Wish more people were sharing Mario games with this.

Review of Family Talk and Family Talk 2 from AroundTheTableGames.com

November 16th, 2009 by admin

Review of Family Talk: I really liked this one, it has some very interesting questions that I cannot wait to “hit” my parents with. Questions like,”If you could do any job for one day, what would you choose, and why?” This would be an interesting one to see if my family, any of them would have liked to be a doctor, like I did when I was growing up. I would be chatty all night long and would likely never quit, if I were to ask ALL of the questions in the 2 card sets that I had gotten for review. There are a lot of questions on EACH cardset, so you will have a lot to talk about for each time you do go and buy a set. These sort of games are what I am starved for. I honestly wish that they would come out with a LOT more of these. Truly, I would like to see sets of these into infinity. I know my brother would finally clamp down on me and say “When are you ever going to stop running at the mouth??”

AroundTheTableGames

Review of Family Talk 2: I saw a good one I would like to ask everyone.”Did you get an allowance as a child? If so, how much?” I heard that my parents only got 5 CENTS as an allowance,I believe. This will demonstrate to kids about how times have changed since parents were kids, not to mention even grandparents, too.

AroundTheTableGames

What is more, you can edit the game easily by taking out cards which do not agree with you, such as faith related cards, if they are “hot potatoes” around your house. All you have to do is press the side of the carabiner, which the cards come on and take them off and take out any “hot potatoes” if you so wish.

another shatterproof Christmas Ornament Review

November 15th, 2009 by admin

Bronners Christmas. has another shatterproof Christmas ornament for your tree ,say you have young kids, or are in a situation where glass and other such ornaments are unwise to have around the house.

DCFN0001

These are very sturdy golden pine cone ornaments, as you can see from this picture. I quite like them, really. Oye! Do you know what I am considering? My sister is going to have a baby in December. So, now that she has a very young kid for the next few years, and she did say she wants more, I was thinking that these could be a gift to her. I am an adult in my own house, so these ornaments and glass-related worries wouldn’t be an issue for me, as it will now be for her.

Here is another view of the pine cone ornaments.

DCFN0002

These would really be fantastic for kids who tend to squeeze things on trees. These pine cone ornaments seem to be quite sturdy. I can’t believe technology these days. In the olden days, anything plastic-y REALLY LOOKED VERY FAKE, that is how I remember it. I don’t know about you, but that is how I do remember it. I don’t know how things now look so realistic, nowadays. I very much shudder when I think of the old plastic holly berries and things like that.OYE, did they very much look plastic-y. huge ridges on the fake holly berries that trailed all the way around the sides of them and the “wrong-ish” colored leaves on the ornaments. Ohhh. I just shudder remembering this. Maybe they didn’t have very good Pantone colors, or coloring was never very much thought out on plastic ornaments for Christmas? Anytime I see plastic ornaments now, especially in the better shops, I don’t quite go “YUK” as much. Sometimes, the ornaments I see today make me want to believe they may really even be glass, untill I take a touch of the item in question and find it was plastic.

Want to actually PERSONALIZE your shoes? @ Converse Clothing Designer Site

November 13th, 2009 by admin

Go to Converse and choose Make in the black(ish) bar at the top. I tried making a shoe there, but didn’t buy it, yet. Just wanted to give this a whirl to see what I could come up with. Real small feet, like me? I was worried sick that this would be size 6 or so and up. Luckily, not too much of a problem, really. I “just” fit size 5 womens. I usually fit a Youth 3, but can go up to a woman,s 5. To secure this size firmly, I would just add thick socks. I thought that Converse was mighty cool to offer something like this. If I could get a Visa gift card of abt. 100 dollars, which I can, AND AM earning somewhere, I MAY JUST GET THESE! This will weigh heavily on my thoughts of what to treat myself to. I think personalizing shirts is starting to “thin” out. Now, shoes, that IS a hit! Soon, I would LOVE to wear personalized shoes.

Sorry, forgot to mention, you can even put your NAME on the shoes! Now, how awesome is that!?!? Oye, this was so awesome, KEWL! I would get these , soon as my earned Visa Gift Card came to me. I just GOTZ to remember this and not spend this gift card on some riduculous computer games. Years ago, in the 70’s and before, I don’t think you were able to design your own shoes, unless you used sequins and rhinestones and so forth. Then you had to “put up with” whatever the shoe factory decided for you for the patterns and colors and so forth. Ugh. Aren’t you glad for modern technology? I sure am! I am enjoying the 2000’s and beyond. Who knows what “they” are going to dream up next!
