I was once told by a woman that she deserved to be on welfare and that the government should be paying her bills because her husband paid taxes back when he had a job.The others of these at the bottom are more that I liked.This post is for anyone that is using welfare to live on, instead of as a step up to improve their lives. So, for the person that reads this and is offended by it? I'm not

I recently found out about this amazing organization. I didn't believe it was true when I first read about it, it seemed too simple and too good to be true. But I signed up, and it's amazing.I am now able to save lives, simply by being part of Be The Match.

Give God what's right - not what's left. "Pray" is a four-letter word you can say anywhere. Man's way leads to a hopeless end - God's way leads to an endless hope.. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma - but never let him be the period. Don't put a question mark where God puts a period

Selo and I went to this free seminar a few weeks ago. It was put on by Rich Dad Academy, and gave some tips for financial education. They pushed super hard for people to sign up for this more advanced 3 day seminar a few weeks later that cost $1000 a person. Well, Selo and I found some good information from the free seminar and figured we could learn a lot more from the more advanced one. We got

Holy goodness, it's been a long week, already. Work is long and hard this week, and next week will be the same. We've been dealing with some stuff from Selo's work, and are having to consider a permanent move to another state. lol Feels like we just got back to Utah! Aunt Anita was finally found, and she is safe. We are relieved and so very grateful. Beka had a Lia Sophia party, and it was a

I put our Jetta up online today to see what kind of interest there would be.It's been online on only two sites for barely over an hour. I've already had an email, and had a call. Selo is meeting a gentleman this afternoon who is serious about buying it.I'm impressed! We love that little Jetta. I just didn't realize other people would love it as much as us!

Selo and I have picked out a couple of movies we want, and I found them on Amazon. I haven't purchased from Amazon but once or twice (I'm more of an eBay chick), but I'm always hearing people talk about getting great Amazon discounts on their purchased.So where do I get an Amazon discount?I browsed the web for about thirty minutes looking for one, but all I found were offers to sign up for or

It's three in the morning. I really should be sleeping. But I guess my sleeping is all topsy turvey, because of sleeping all day. I'm feeling better, though, so hopefully I can make it through a full work day tomorrow.In the meantime, I found this cool blog. It's called Modern Molly Mormon. I subscribed to have their posts sent to my email, and I'm enjoying what I'm reading so far.Right now, they

I feel like I woke up from the dead. I am sick, with a capital S-I-C-K. Head cold, stuffy nose, headache, body aches, sore throat, watery eyes, sneezing, I've got it all.Thankfully, I also have a wonderful husband. He was feeling better yesterday, so he made food for us both when I got home. He put me on the couch to wind down from work, and then put me to bed full of NyQuil. I slept from 5 pm

I am sick. And I hate being sick.I had the sniffles all weekend, but I figured it was allergies and thought nothing of it. This morning, Selo woke up with a stomach ache. He took some NyQuil and crawled back in bed to sleep it off. Because of his stomach problems, we both didn't think anything of it.But now that's it's noon, and I've been awake for several hours, I'm exhausted. My head is stuffy,

I already hate talking on the phone. But I'm learning that I need to quit answering it altogether. Every time I do, it's more bad news.Yesterday was my step-mom's surgery. She had a lesion in her mouth, and had to have part of her tongue removed. The surgery itself went well, and she was sent home to recover and heal.A few hours later, she was taken to the ER and was admitted into the hospital.

I got this email from a friend, and I love the idea. Thought I'd share it with you in hopes of putting a smile on your face. Dear Mr. President, Patriotic retirement: There's about 40 million people over 50 years old....... in the work force - pay them $1 million apiece severance with the following stipulations. 1) They leave their jobs.

Today, I paid our state taxes. Yay, it is over.We still have our fed taxes to pay. That will be the one that really hurts. But we are saving up, and making progress.I'm glad to have at least the state paid. One less thing to worry about.Grandpa went home from the hospital, and is doing well in his recovery.My BIL is hanging in there. There will be a small, private service held for his father this

Yesterday was a bad day for my family. All sides of my family. Every time I called another family member, I found out more bad news.First, my step-mother is having a surgery to remove part of her tongue. The doctors are not sure what the mass inside her tongue is, but are concerned enough that they want it gone right away. It will be biopsy-ed once it is removed to determine what it is and the

Today at work, the we had a flicker of power and all the power went out. It came back on right away, thankfully, but I had an enlightening moment. (haha) I was in the ladies' room when it happened. And I got stuck in the dark.Luckily for me, I had my phone in my pocket, so I had a bit of light to lead me around in the darkness. (Although, it's not very easy to finish washing my hands in the dark,

Friday night, we hung out at home and just relaxed. I read an excellent book called Against Medical Advice by James Patterson and Hal Friedman. That book hit home for me. It's about a boy that suffers with OCD, anxiety, and Tourett's Syndrom. I don't have tourett's, obviously, but I deal with OCD and anxiety. It was an eye opening experience to read about how he lived with and eventually overcame

I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read Perhaps I will get a short nap,' I thought.Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation. 'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated

How sweet is that?! I've been posting a lot lately about Locks of Love, since I was planning to and did donate me hair to them. Well, I got a thank you card from them! What a great company, that they take the time to thank the people that send in donations. It's a personalized card with my name on it, and it's laminated so I can keep it. I scanned it so I could post pics. (Although I did edit my
