The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.
Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:
1.God Uses Problems To DIRECT U
Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways."
2. God Uses Problems To INSPECT U
People are like tea bags...if you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot ever water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you? "When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience."
3. God Uses Problems To CORRECT U
Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It's likely that as a child our parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something... health, money, a relationship...by losing it. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws."
4. God Uses Problems To PROTECT U
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management's actions were eventually discovered. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good...
5. God Uses Problems To PERFECT U
Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things you're going to take with you into eternity.
"We can rejoice when we run into problems...they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady."
Here's the point Ad:
God is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it or understand it.
But it's much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him.
"Success can be measured not only in achievements, but in lessons learned,
lives touched and moments shared along the way"

Hotel Breakfast Tag
Ladies, u must read this for safety precautions when staying in a hotel.
Please keep in mind when you are travelling alone and forward to female
friends and colleagues who may travel alone. To the guys, share this
with your sisters and all those women you know. I've always used the
menu which hang outside your doorknob to order breakfast when on
business trips.
I was recently staying at a well-known hotel and I ordered room service
for the next day on the flyer-like thing that you stick outside your door.
On this order form, one writes her name, how many persons will be
eating, your room number, time of delivery and etc. I hung it on the
outside of my door for collection - it was a mistake! I had given
someone all the ammunition that he would need.
That someone went to my door-tag got my name and room number. And then
told the front desk that he was my husband (remember my tag showed 1
female name) and that he needed a new key. The clerk WITHOUT ASKING FOR ID OR CALLING MY ROOM GAVE HIM MY ROOM KEY!
At 2 a.m . I was awakened by my door opening (luckily I had put the
security bar across) with a man's hand trying to figure out how to get
the bar undone. I started yelling at him and told him that I was on the
phone with the police. He shut the door and left. I called down to the
lobby and spoke with the Front Desk - I wanted to alert Security about
the incident.
The hotel staff person said and I quote, "Oops, sorry about that" then
hung up. Well, let's just say that I was both terrified and angry the
rest of the night. Next morning, I spoke with a Hotel Manager whose eyes
almost popped out of his head when he learned that his clerk had given
an unidentified stranger a key to my room. Am I glad that I am typing
this to all of you with my 2 year old kid on my lap. I don't want to
think of what might have happened if the safety chain/bar had not been
secured.
Please forward this to your female family members & friends. Better be
safe than sorry.

almost popped out of his head when he learned that his clerk had given
an unidentified stranger a key to my room. Am I glad that I am typing
this to all of you with my 2 year old kid on my lap. I don't want to
think of what might have happened if the safety chain/bar had not been
secured.
Please forward this to your female family members & friends. Better be
safe than sorry.

Poetry or sword? What do you want to create?
"What do you call a person who writes rows and rows of words, Mummy?" Hmmm, who could my little boy be referring to? "Are you talking about a poet?", I wondered.
My son ran off happily with my answer and left me thinking of a question that I would like to know the answer myself; that is, what do I call a person who writes or uses angry words. Here is my reflection.
While poets writes beautiful words to inspire
In moments of anger people instigate
Fights can erupt
Crimes are committed
While a string of beautiful words are poetry
A string of angry words is a S W O R D
Like a thrusting piece of metal
The words can cut and hurt as deeply
Cuts from a glistening sword
Can heal with care
A scar stays to remind
the depth...the pain -
Can an expression of remorse
heal wounds that fester in the heart?
You will soon know
In the next moment of anger
I am not going to guess and get my answers wrong where emotions are concerned. With the help of my children, we have thought up of a way to cool us down in our moments of anger. I hope the recipe works for you too.
Anger Coolant
Ingredient A
Tone: Most TV inspired robotic sound you can create
Chant: "Please remain calm", repeatedly, like a spoiled record
Ingredient B (Optional)
Hand and knee movement: Slow up and down motion like in a Tai Chi exercise
Method
Face instigator and apply ingredient A and watch reaction. Keep adding ingredient A still instigator burst into laughter. Failing which, add ingredient B.
Check out the prop I created to remind my children to be mindful of their speech.
Also, note that it has been scientifically discovered that you cannot hold negative thoughts, stay angry or worry while you are smiling. When you smile, the brain releases a flood of endorphin-like chemicals along with a series of signals that make holding on to such emotions impossible.
So, instigate a smile and have a great day.

Free e-mail service accounts. Be wary.
I have been using my "mail2world" and "mail2malaysia" free e-mail service accounts for a while now. Today I discovered that someone has hacked into my "mail2malaysia" account to spam!
So, I did a search on it and discovered this link that provides a list of free e-mail service accounts that spammers and cheats often make use of.
Internet Love Scam
So, if you receive any unsolicited offers from these addresses be wary. Also, change your password as often as you can if you are using free e-mail service accounts to write to your friends.
Also take a look at their Resources & Guides.

Seeking shade with the eldlerly
While seeking shade under a hugh old tree, my husband stumbled upon some elderly folks. They were all waiting for children at a school nearby, to be released, to fetch them home. While eating some deep fried snacks from a stall nearby, they started chatting.
They talked about oil used for deep frying from restaurants being sold to small stall holders instead of being discarded. I have heard of that before. While I advocate recycling, I think this is a bad business practice as the over used oil can become carcinogenic.
If this is the first time you have heard of this and think that is scary, wait till you hear what the elderly have to say. Be ready to give up eating deep fried food.
In Thailand, some shops deep fried plastic bags in their oil as the chemicals leached from them makes the deep fried food crispier. Nah, that can't be true, right? The old man added that in his younger days, he has seen a shop owner, deep fried plastic drinking straws in his kuali of oil first before he deep fried what he sold.
So, the next time you seek shade, go to where the elderly are seated to see if you can have their thoughts recycled and committed to memory. Pass the stories down for them before they are lost and forgotten.

The Wooden Bowl
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.
But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about father," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor."
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!
When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?"
Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
Moral of the story: Respect for one's parents is paramount. Anything less is frowned upon. This message has been passed down to us from our fathers before us and from their fathers before them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life.."
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is to all of you who mean something to me,
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Mommys, start your ground work today
If you are a stay at home mom and pondering on starting a business when the children are older, start your ground work today. Young children are the best ice breakers. Just bring them out for a walk at the park and they will attract other mommys for you to network with.
I hate it when I have to tell my friends that I have forgotten to use a software programme or some tricks I have picked up just because I have not been working on them for a while. Don't loose the skills you have developed while working. Start making use of them in whatever way you can. Writing a blog is a good way to start as you can keep a record of tips and tricks you know and write about the new ones that you have developed an interest for.
If you enjoy cooking, start a potluck gathering with your friends and neighbours to pick up new cooking skills. Be more ambitious. Create a community group in your neighbourhood and offer to conduct talks or lessons on subjects you are good at. This is the best way for you to test drive what you intend to deal with in your business. Take objections and criticism to your business ideas with thanks. They are the best feedback for you to work on improving your product or services.
Following are Mommys who don't wait till their kids grow up:
What can a six months pregnant woman with 3 kids do? She has become an expert in selecting maternity wear. I love the selections she is selling on her website, Pretty Mommie eShop.
What can a mother with a young daughter do? She started a playgroup at the Bandar Sungai Long Buddhist Society. Take a look at her blog to see what she has been up to:

Playing With Numbers for a Living!
Today I am going to talk about numbers and should you skim through what I have written and came across the words, "lucky" and "prospers" please read me through before you rush off to punt with my numbers.
A Memory Aid Technique
Do you know that there is a memory technique that will help you remember numbers better? The idea is to build up pictures in your mind through association of things that rhyme with the numbers you want to recall. Example, 3 sounds like "tree", 7 sounds like "heaven", 10 sounds like "hen", etc.
This kind of association is commonly practiced by the Cantonese speaking community in Asian countries. In fact, they are drawn to and are willing to pay extra money for ownership of things that are linked with numbers that are perceived lucky through association of such rhyming.
Choosing the Right Numbers
The most highly favoured number is 8, as spoken in Cantonese, "bat" sounds like "prospers" followed by 3 as "sam" sounds like "life" or "longevity". You can make such lucky numbers more auspicious by saying "10" before it, as "sap" sounds like "must" or "surely" in Cantonese.
Businessmen in Singapore also appreciate the number 5, as in English, "five" sounds like fast (fi) in Cantonese. So, when said with the number 6 in Cantonese, which is "luk", they like to mispronounce them to sound like "fi loh" which means "fast moving or prospering quickly".
If you are in Malaysia, Singapore or Hong Kong, just take a look at the commercial or residential addresses and car number plates the affluent Asians associate with and you will get the picture.
So, doesn't it make good business sense to associate your product with lucky numbers if you are interested in selling them in Asia? What product can you create based on this concept? Swirlinwhirl is what I have created.
Good luck in your new venture.

Cancer Update from John Hopkins
This report is not from John Hopkins as claimed in this email I received. I did a search on "Cancer Update from John Hopkins" and discovered that it is an urban legend and Snopes has a link to John Hopkins confirming that they do not endorse its contents and their advice is, "...read the information on our web site or visit the National Cancer Institute's web site at www.cancer.gov."
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
(PLEASE FORWARD IT TO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT) CANCER UPDATE FROM
JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness
Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He
talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains,seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
(PLEASE FORWARD IT TO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT) CANCER UPDATE FROM
JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL , U S - PLEASE READ
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness
Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He
talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

The kids are good. You are naugthy.
Every time you scold the kids for misbehaving, reflect on how they became this way.
Is one always threatening the other to get things done? Recollect how many times you have done that to them.
Do they roll their eyes in disdain and use profanities whenever they have the opportunity to? Reflect on who in your family or circle of friends do that. Remove these influences.
You hear compliments about your children from their friends and teachers but when they are with the family they are rude to one another. Is that how you are treating your spouse? What are you like when you are with your friends?
If your children are always shouting in the house, you have to stop shouting at them. Admit that it is your mistake to shout or continue living in the state of self destruction.
The Bull
A middle aged couple is visiting a cattle show, where one of the farmers is
displaying his prize bull.
This bull, he proclaims proudly, is mating 200 times per year.
The wife is nudging her husband with her elbow. "You heard that?", she asks. "200
times per year".
"Yeah", replies the man. "Ask the fellow if that is with the same cow".

Sins and Sinners
We are the temptations that we pray we will be delivered from. On reflection we are also the sinners who lead others to do wrong. And I am talking about our experiences shopping for greens.
We know that vegetable farmers use pesticides and yet we are always looking for un-hole-ly greens. Shouldn't that be a tinker bell that even the insects are rejecting them?
What can the farmers do but spray more pesticides on their crops? It's that or loose out in sales to other pesticides trigger happy farmers. I have heard that farmers grow a separate patch of greens for their own consumption.
Wait! Before you start buying hole-ly greens, ponder if the farmers would consider spraying more pesticides over the obviously pest infested vegetables to ensure that they arrive at the market with some recognisable greens attached.
It's either to grow your own or go organic.

"God will save me!"
A flood takes over the valley and a man is forced to climb up his house, onto the roof. As the waters rise, a neighbour in a rowing boat appears and tells him to get in.
"No," replies the man on the roof. "God will save me!"
Then a firefighter stops by in a speedboat. "Climb in!" shouts the firefighter.
"No," replies the man on the roof. "God will save me!"
A helicopter flies by next, and the pilot shouts that he's about to lower a rope for the man to be rescued.
"No," replied the man on the roof. "God will save me!"
Eventually the man drowns and goes to Heaven, where he asks God why He hadn't helped him.
"I sent a neighbour, a firefighter, and helicopter," replies God. "What more do you want?"
"No," replies the man on the roof. "God will save me!"
Then a firefighter stops by in a speedboat. "Climb in!" shouts the firefighter.
"No," replies the man on the roof. "God will save me!"

The three wishes
A woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.
The frog told her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes."
The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get it ten times!"
The woman said, "That's okay." For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to". The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me."
So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!
For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.
The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you. " The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."
So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!
The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack!"
Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them!
Attention female readers : This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good!
Male readers: Please scroll down.
The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!
Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really smart!
Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show!
PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!
Forward this to all the guys for a good laugh, and to all the ladies who have a good sense of humour!

Of FrontPage 2000 and Publisher
I have upgraded my computer recently to Windows XP Professional and have decided to upgrade my publishing software to "MS Publisher" thinking that it is an upgraded version of "FrontPage 2000".
It is not! As I did not save my "Front Page 2000" software, I am not able to edit the files I have already created using my new publishing software. As the programme is different, I have some learning to do before I can reload new files. Here are some free tutorial websites I have discovered:
Publisher 2003 Help and How-to
Microsoft Publisher 2000
So, am I upset over this? Not when it comes with these new discoveries!
1) That is how I started blogging.
2) Blogs read better when the articles are short with lots of pictures.
3) Will this work?
Let's see when my blog is 90 days old.
4) When I need help with coding for my websites I can always go to SmartGirl for HTML Tutorial
Life's a swirl and my whirls are lucky twirls.

Getting what you give
RELATIVES
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."
W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men..."
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. " The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that
the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM ."
He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight.
Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for this kind of contest.
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

Put The Glass Down
A professor was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.
He began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students: “How much do you think this glass weighs?”
"50gms!" .... "100gms!" ....."125gms" ..the students answered.
“I really don't know unless I weigh it,” said the professor, “but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”
"Nothing" …..the students said.
"Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?", the professor asked.
"Your arm would begin to ache", said one of the student.
“You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”
“Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis and have to go to hospital for sure!”, ventured another student and all the students laughed.
“Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?”, asked the professor.
"No" was the answer.
“Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle stress?”
The students were puzzled.
“What should I do now to come out of pain?”, asked professor again.
“Put the glass down!”, said one of the students.
“Exactly!”, said the professor.
Life's problems are something like this:
Hold it for a few minutes in your head and they seem okay. Think of them for a long time, and they begin to ache. Hold it even longer, and they begin to paralyze you.
It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to "PUT THEM DOWN" at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh and strong, and can handle any issue, any new challenges that comes your way!

Recycled Philosophy
What do you do with all the jokes and useful articles your friends have emailed you? What do you do with all the smart solutions you have discovered in solving your problems?
WASTE THEM NOT as you will never know when you do need to make use of them again. I am sharing my solutions, and as with RECYCLING, I hope you can RE-USE them to help you REDUCE the clutters in your life
If you are the author of any of the articles posted on "Recycled Philosophy", please write to let me know and I will have you credited for the contribution and thank you personally for sharing.
The word "philosophy" comes from a combination of 2 Greek words, "philo", which means "love" and "sophia" which means "wisdom". So, philosophy means the love of wisdom. According to Wikipedia, philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of how one should live. I live with this love and ancient wisdom in mind:
Live not in fear of the future because all problems that you may encounter in life have been experienced by others before you and resolved.
When someone shares with you something of value and you derive benefit from it, you have the obligation to share it with others.

The word "philosophy" comes from a combination of 2 Greek words, "philo", which means "love" and "sophia" which means "wisdom". So, philosophy means the love of wisdom. According to Wikipedia, philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of how one should live. I live with this love and ancient wisdom in mind:
Live not in fear of the future because all problems that you may encounter in life have been experienced by others before you and resolved.
When someone shares with you something of value and you derive benefit from it, you have the obligation to share it with others.
