Some things to ponder

Did you ever wonder why there are two spellings of one (one and won), three spellings of two (to, too, and two) and only one spelling of three?

Why does cargo go by ship and shipment go by car?

Can there be such a thing as a "jumbo shrimp"? Is it jumbo or is it a shrimp?

If you are "head over heels in love" does that really mean anything? My head is always over my heels!

Why is it called fasting? It seems to go by so slow when I do that!

If there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day, how come I have no time for anything?

If I walk a mile in your shoes, do they become my shoes and would you really want them back?

If a hole has nothing in it, why are they called donut holes?

Why is a cow called beef, a pig called pork and lamb called mutton? I guess it doesn't sound good saying "give me some roast cow"

What kind of jokes do they say in Poland? What kind of jokes do blonds tell?

Do Welsh people ever pay up on bets?

If there are over 6 billion people in the world, why do we even bother with the few that bother us?

If the headline on an advertisement reads "Sale! Last Week!" does that mean you missed it?

If i can buy a bag of 300 napkins for $1.50 why do women have to spend $7.00 on just 24 napkins?

When two planes have a "near miss" does that mean they actually collided?

Being a Wise Ass

Did you ever do something just to piss someone off. Not really to instigate something but just to retaliate. I like to do this. I like to play practical jokes on people that just don't know when to stop. I think it is really funny sometimes.

Some people take me too seriously. They know me better and know how I am almost always joking or setting up a joke. It may not be funny, but it is still a joke.

Oh well, I guess that makes the joke even funnier.

strange dream

Sometimes I have dreams that tell me about something that will be happening in the very near future. I can tell when I have one of these dreams because of the feeling I have when I wake up. I also remember certain things about the dream that make me believe it is telling me something. All of my dreams are not like this, just some of them.

Today I had one of those dreams.

In the dream I was with my grandfather. My grandfather died over 10 years ago. In the dream he was looking for me. He said that he didn't really die, he just had to clear up some family business and had to go into hiding for a while. My grandfather is 100% Italian. His parents came to America from Italy. Because of this background I knew that the "family business" had to do with both our family and a Mafia connection. Now all my life I had believed that there was no connection between my family and the mafia but in this dream there was. Of the 5 grandsons my grandfather had, I was the closest to him. I was the most "Italian acting" of the grandsons and I think he liked that. My grandfather was also very short. He always reminded me of a lawn gnome. hahaha. It was good seeing him again, even if only in a dream.

He then took me to meet someone. The scenery was very futuristic. We went into a building that was actually underground and in the desert. He introduced me to a man. At first he told me he was my future son-in-law. This man was tall and was wearing an Air Force uniform. He said he was a commander in the U.S. Air Force. I only have one daughter so I assume it was her husband. Later he told me this man was my son that I didn't know about. If this was my son, he would be about 10 years older than my oldest son. It would mean that I was about 12 when he was born. I know my life and either that is impossible or I did something when I was 12 that I never knew about (think about that one! hahaha). I told him I was very pleased to meet him then I turned to my grandfather and said "If this is my son, I love him but I want to go back to my other kids in the present."

I forgot to mention that the last time I had a dream of this grandfather was 3 days before he died. In that dream I knew it meant that he was going to die.

What I gathered from this dream is that something will happen in the next 3 days that will affect my future. It will have a great impact on me and my family. By the feeling I had when I woke up it should be positive.

There was another part to the dream but I have to keep that between me and the one that was in it. I am sure when she reads this she will ask me about it. hahaha

fruits

I was sitting on the couch one day and I was thinking about different kinds of fruits. I have always loved certain fruits and hated others. Oranges, pineapple, mangoes, pomegranates and apples are some of my favorites.
One time I bought some oranges, a pomegranate, a mango and an apple and cut them up. I mixed it with some cool-whip and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours. It was really good. I should try making that again.
I like to put cinnamon on some fruits too.
I don't know why I wrote this, I just haven't added anything in a while. hahaha

I want to say hello to my newest reader too! I don't know if there are 2 new readers or just one but hello anyway!

As to my long time reader, well, hope you laughed at this one! hahaha. Thanks for mentioning me again in yuor latest blog! AM I really very nice? hahaha. Well, you are too! Hope to see you soon.

Stalking

Well, I was told that someone in the Philippines is snooping on me so this is for you.

Congrats! You found this! You must be so proud of yourself. What I wonder is if you have a life? Don't you have anything better to do? Do you think you are helping anything? Well, you're not and the one you are making it worse for is not me but the one you are snooping for.

If you have any guts, email me. Show your face. Otherwise, you are just a gossip that has no life.

Problems

As we go through life we all have problems that come up from time to time. When we are in a relationship the problems can be with one person, the other or both. How we deal with these problems shows a lot about how we really are.

Some people want to solve all the problems. They take it upon themselves to solve everything. Weather this is because they want to help, they think they wont get help, they think that only they can solve the problem or all three are reasons they are like this. Usually they can come up with a solution or answer and everything is well. The bad part about this is when they can't solve it. Things just get worse for these people. Also, eventually they get exhausted trying to solve every problem that they finally give up.

Some people leave it to their mate to solve. They think they are trying but really don't. Weather it is fear of being wrong or just not capable of doing it, they rely on another person always. They show their appreciation when the problem is solved and they think all is well. The problem with these people is that, like above, the solver may just become too exhausted and finally give up on everything.

Then there are the people that say "Come on, give me your hand, let's do this together." These people realize it is much easier for two to solve a problem than just one. They want to be there for the other person and they want that person there for them. This kind of person will never worry when something arises because they know that together, they can solve anything. They may not have all the answers but they will never stop trying.

I have found that person. Thanks for taking my hand. Thanks for pulling me up. Knowing you are there for me I can get through this. You are amazing.
