Off-Topic / Greeting cards ... halmark ?

« on: June 29, 2012, 09:49:00 am »Message ID: 562424

When you buy a greeting card do you look for a certain brand like halmark?  American Greetings etc?   My favorite is Dayspring so I really try hard to buy those but if not I go with the old standby Halmark.

Off-Topic / What is your favorite hair product?

« on: June 29, 2012, 09:47:41 am »Message ID: 562423

I need a GOOD texturizer that doesn't make your hair feel sticky.  I was using the retro hair blowdry lotion but can no longer find it..... I guess I may have to order online but the shipping charges are crazy!

I am going tomorrow to visit my niece's husband that had a stroke while they were out of the country on vacation.  He is in a rehab hospital and still paralyzed in his left arm.  He is making some progress but I'm just not sure what to expect

Off-Topic / What kind of Mattress do you prefer?

« on: May 23, 2012, 05:25:14 am »Message ID: 541711

Some like the memory foam, firm, soft, etc.   When I was younger I use to even have a waterbed!!!   Wow I can't imagine sleeping on that now!   I like the Pillow Top that is a little on the softer side but hubby likes a firmer mattress.  I have a memory foam pillow and I love it but don't think I would want a mattress like that!!

It is a gloomy, dark, rainy morning.  However I love these days ... once in a while  .   It was beautiful and sunny yesterday so this is a nice day to get things done inside without feeling bad about staying inside.  I wish I could stay home today and enjoy the peace of the rain but I have a hair appointment !!!!! YEAH !!!!!  and then going to Mom's for the day.

Off-Topic / Smart phone or Dumb phone?

« on: May 18, 2012, 04:24:11 am »Message ID: 539389

Do you have  smart phone?  If so what kind?  I opted for the smartest dumb phone I could find so I could get unlimited everything without the extra price tag.... not so sure i  made the right choice.  Surfing is impossible and there are just so many things you can't do .... maybe the extra $$$ is worth it   If I can find a good job I may spring for the better phone/service.

I haven't worked at a "REAL" job for almost 3 years.  Unfortunately I am now in a position that I must return to work.... really not looking forward to it but you do what you have to do.  Hope I can find something that is enjoyable or at least not so stressful!!!

While struggling through the day waiting on test results ... this is the verse I found to lean on. 



Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation. (Psalm 91:14-16)

I am getting ready to go to the doctor for some tests and I am feeling anxious.   This is a verse that I find gives me comfort.



Psalm 103:2-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

I read this recently  .... and it really stuck with me.  A quote from Bette Middler of all people ...

"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
 It is the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.”
