Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!!

PONDERISMS

1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

11.) Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

12.) All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

13.) In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

14.) Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

15.) How is it that one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

16.) Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

17.) If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

18.) If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

19.) If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby
oil made from?

20.) Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

21.) Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

22.) Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

Types of Friends

The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in
