AAADD

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.

Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway,

I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,

I notice mail on the porch table that

I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,

put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,

And notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back

on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,

since I'm going to be near the mailbox

when I take out the garbage anyway,

I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,

and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study,

so I go inside the house to my desk where

I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks,

but first I need to push the Pepsi aside

so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm,

and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,

a vase of flowers on the counter

catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and

discover my reading glasses that

I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk,

but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,

fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,

I'll be looking for the remote,

but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,

so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,

but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,

but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,

get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to

remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

the car isn't washed

the bills aren't paid

there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter

the flowers don't have enough water,

there is still only 1 check in my check book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,

I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day,

and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,

and I'll try to get some help for it,

but first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favor.

Forward this message to everyone you know,

because I don't remember who I've sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

What IS a Post Turtle....?

Post Turtle

While suturing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand had been caught in the gate while working his cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama, and his being our president.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is just a Post Turtle."

Now not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked,

What's a "Post Turtle?"

The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he sure as heck ain't goin' anywhere, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there in the first place."

What is Marriage Coming to?

2011-02-17T13:52:00.000-08:00

Prenuptial contract. To me, that was a farce from the beginning. When we marry, our contract is a vow before God. The contract is a partnership between two people, the contract is the license of marriage when it is performed.

Ah, let's see.... prenuptial is indicative that there will be a divorce at some point, a dissolving of the marriage, and one or both of the parties wish to retain what they have before the marriage or there is a contracted agreement of what each will receive should the marriage 'fail'. In business, that would be ideal. But, in marriage, that is the beginning of it not being a true marriage. When we vow to marry, we make a promise to be with a partner, the other part of our soul, for eternity. While it is true that some do break down horribly, it is not what marriage is intended for. We should instead be rethinking about taking that step if we must enter into it with a second contract, dishonoring the first. It would benefit us more to back off the commitment than to be incomplete in our commitment. If the marriage is made like a business deal, it is not made faithfully and in good will.... the foundation then becomes financial rather than what the meaning is meant for. Marriage is for a foundation of family; not wealth, happiness, health, or sexual gratification... solely. If you are not marrying to be 'ONE' ... then don't marry. It would be best to wait or not marry at all. This would eliminate the need for a prenuptial, which should not even be a pre-requisite for the marriage in the first place.

Now, I have just heard a new twist... DIVORCE INSURANCE! Come on! Will man of this world ever stop thinking of ways to milk our fellow men and women? I think not.

If we are splitting the marriage apart before we even enter into it, is it not surely bound to fail? Is it not just another lie we are living in?

How do you feel about this...? I know I am certainly appalled at the shallowness of such an important part of ones life.

Is it possible to have more than one best friend?

2010-10-19T08:13:00.000-07:00

I believe . . .

It is absolutely possible to have more than one best friend!

When growing up, we usually form our first friendships. Many, not all, find a friend they can hold on to and talk about anything. Usually, that friendship moves on to others as we age, mature and move away.

I have a group of friends that I used to hang out with. There were four of us, which we could easily call each other best friends. *this was high school* There were around 2,000 students. Most all students in the same grade knew each other or of each other... we consider them acquaintances. Some we would get to know a little and call them friends. But the group of four, we could talk for hours and yes, we would have probably killed for each other (in a sense). We were very close, but only at school.

As I left school, a new concept of friendships developed, and in those, I usually found one or two who became close enough to call a "best friend". I moved a lot and found that I would 'acquire' close friends in many places. In doing so, you learn to pick and choose how you select a friend to be a close friend. However, there comes a time when someone may be set in your path when you were not looking. So, now, we find best friends for different situations.

Now, being wiser (haha) and more mature, I find that even tho I have best friends scattered around the states, anytime I need an ear or a shoulder, any one of them make themselves available. And I, as friends go, would do the same. We all go through different eras of life when we need different things. In that, we tend to determine who we can count on, who we can trust, or who we can just lean on for the sake of leaning. Those, we call best friends. I have one for every stage of my life.

I have one friend who I have been close to (but rarely speak with because of distance) since high school. The other two have gone in separate directions, but she and I have remained close. She was my maid of honor the first time I married, then my matron of honor the last. Even tho I do not want to burden her, I know I can still count on her after nearly 40 years.

Then, there are the beautiful friends you meet here...online. You find you have common ground with so many more than you would have ever believed. When you find that, there is a connection that brings you close, close enough to consider one a best friend. When you think about it, by ratio, we really do not (at least the majority of people) have many real friends. But yet, when you have one, you want to keep them close to your heart.

I have met or talked to many people, some who become friends or good friends. But I have learned, best friends are the ones who take the biggest chunks of your heart and hold on for life. I feel blessed and so grateful that I am able to consider so many a best friend. Best friends hold a connection that is real and deep. Just friends will party with ya, but they will go their separate way... a best friend will make sure you are home safe and sound.

New Venture

2010-10-08T05:33:00.000-07:00

I am truly the skeptic when it comes to learning and working on new things... especially when having to deal with money! I was introduced recently to this new venuture - Paybox.me. You start out (currently as a beta tester) with a quick fifty dollars in your account! How GREAT is that!!!! No vested finances, at least not now, to get in on the ground level. Well, my account has really been adding up... you see, you gain funds daily thru them just by being active and helping them to test out their technology. And for every referral you get another five in the wallet... great deal huh?

Try it out for yourself... I wasn't sure of it myself at first, and still not sure completely. But, I must say, of all the things I have tried til now, it is the most promising! I could really use those referrals... and I bet you could, too! Here is the spot to be...Paybox.me!

Change... Progressive or Depressive?

2010-10-07T22:04:00.000-07:00

Geeeeeeeesh!
It seems just as I get the hang of one new 'progress' in technology there are three more waiting for me to hit the "try the new blah blah blah"! I would just like to enjoy the old while it is still new! LOL

Why is everyone always in such a hurry? It just seems for many the progress is really beginning to depress more and more people. I mean, it is bad enough when we are having difficulties just keeping up with the money increases now, how are we supposed to add to that without being depressed!?

Phooey! Progress is just a word. We all need to move on at our own speed. Those who are trying to reach the finish line first are simply passing everyone up just to wind up sitting around to wait on everyone else to catch up -- and they are taking their time to enjoy the view!

Much to Learn, But Family First

2010-10-07T20:52:00.000-07:00

(original post a Dabbling Roze, August 2010)
Well... I am still finding that there is more and more to learn in the blogging... if you just now received a reply from your own comment it is because I did not realize until now I needed to approve them and did not see them until now.

I have been away mostly for the last few weeks. WHY? Well, for starters, I had about seven of my own sites to relocate (and let me tell you...it was a chore!) and a couple dozen I helped move and help with. Also, we found out my hubby had another problem with his heart. In 2001, due to heart attack and some blockages found, he had a double by-pass. Now, two more blockages were located and there was a second by-pass surgery that took place July 29, 2010 - yes, a week ago. With oh so many things like this -- you can only imagine my interest in my site, United Caregivers. He was out of the hospital in three days after the surgery... amazing what they can do these days.

Also, we are celebrating our grandsons first year! What a blessing he is. He was two months early, yet that was expected; just over 4lbs.
From To
We are having a party for him tomorrow! How quickly they grow.

Idol Hands are the Devil's Work... None Here!

2010-10-07T19:56:00.000-07:00

Could a person be any busier!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you notice to the right side here, I have a lot of irons in the fire... well, that is not all of them! Building graphics, attending and working on church activities, staying involved with family and care issues, and my own health is a total 48/14 job! How do you get two days into one? YOU DON'T...LOL So, you can figure I am out there, wayyyyyy out there even. Please do take a moment to check out some of the links and maybe even join in on some. If you are business, please take into account and remember that not all of the network sites are for business and adding yours to theirs may not be tolerated. However, there are a few listed that are for marketing purposes, business promoting, health care/all care, church and ministry, causes, and my graphics building sites.

Johan Beetge and I have recently set up a site called Stop! which is for lobbying causes -- against rape, violence, dangers, etc. You are welcome to see if you fit into any of those by going to www.stopabuse.spruz.com. Maybe you have some definite views that you would like to talk about.

Also, I have Biblical Living, a site for learning, reading, and talking about living a Christian lifestyle. There is a place for questions and answers and my partner, Johan C. Beetge, is about as knowledgeable as they come in knowing about the Christian way of life. He resides in South Africa and has the site Workers for Jesus.

Check out my United Caregivers site. There are groups for all sorts of issue including child care, elder care, animal/pet care, general and specific health care and issues. We have recently added Rev. Dale Ward as clergy and help for the Addictions group. Please just take a moment to check it out. I don't think you will be disappointed. We are always looking for others to add their dilemmas, their stories and experiences, and their expertise.

This is just a few of the projects I have going. I will try to add more soon.

Til then, visit me at Graphics By Roze.

I welcome your comments and views... please.
