Jerkoholic

Back in the early 80’s, I had neighbors, S and K….Sandy was not only a beautiful woman, but she also was absolutely one of the best cooks I’d ever had the pleasure to eat her food. I never once saw even a mix at her house….everything was from scratch. K left S for another woman citing the reason was because S had wrinkles on the bottom of her biscuits! TRUE STORY! What a bum!

Such is the life of a woman...

Husband and wife in bed together. She feels his hand rubbing her shoulder.
She: "Oh, that feels good."

His hand moves to her breast.
She: "Gee, honey, that feels wonderful."

His hand moves to her leg.
She: "Oh, honey, don't stop."

But he stops.
She: "Why did you stop?"
He: "I found the remote.

More Important Quotes I Want My Girls To Know...

Profound is Profound. Some quotes speak to us profoundly. Some profound quotes apply for the particular stage in life we are in. I've been saving quotes since about the age of 15. Some, when I go back and read them, I wonder what idiot stage was I in at the time. Some, however, become more profound to me with the passage of time.

Fake it till you make it...

I know others are doing the best they can under the circumstances...however....there is ALWAYS room to be better...reach out and become the hero to someone who needs it....become the hero that we can only wish we were...till we turn around and find out that it's so damned easy to reach out with love where it's natural to hold back and hide. Love begets love. Compassion inspires compassion. Understanding leads to better understanding of all things/people/situations. Forgiveness is actually a very selfish deed. Oren always tells me that 'hate' binds you to that person. Sure, it might be easy to 'hate' someone...or so we think we hate them....but the actuality of it is that we hate the actions because it brings up a shortcoming we feel in ourselves. When we forgive, we are really letting ourselves off the hook. We are told to love our neighbor as we love ourselves but seldom do we ever understand loving ourselves. Truly loving ourselves. Only in the freedom of loving ourselves can we love others. How I wish that others could see what I see in the mirror when I see their reflections in it. I feel like one of the luckiest women in the world to have had all the wonderful people in it. Again, however, I can understand as even I have difficulties in loving myself or feeling worthy of someone loving me. It's just human nature I guess. It's not going to stop me trying tho! Fake it till you make it, eh?

Plan ahead

Megan called me last night telling me that she found a place for me for when I get old. Of course she thinks I should move soon. It’s the nursing home a block from Ben. She said she and Mandy and her mom would come visit me twice a week and bring me presents. She said she knows that place is good for old people because they mop the floors at night while the people are asleep so that they don’t slip and fall. Rodina asked her why they couldn’t simply let me move in with them and Megan said that the home would take care of me better. Rodina then asked why John couldn’t take care of me since he was younger. Megan agreed that John could take care of me till I got old since he is taller than I am.
