Happiness

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock
strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am
important.
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or … I can be
thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or … I can be
glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and
guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or … I can rejoice that I am
alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I
was growing up or … I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be
born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or …I can celebrate that

How to lie to the scale & lawyer & cat poem

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

HOW TO LIE TO THE BATHROOM SCALE
1. Weigh yourself with clothes on, after dinner… as well as in
the morning, without clothes, before breakfast, because it’s nice
to see how much weight you’ve lost overnight.
2. Never weigh yourself with wet hair.
3. When weighing, remove everything, including glasses. In this
case, blurred vision is an asset. Don’t forget the earrings,
these things can weigh at least a pound.
4. Use cheap scales only, never the medical kind, because they
are always five pounds off… to your advantage.
5. Always go to the bathroom first.
6. Stand with arms raised, making pressure on the scale lighter.
7. Don’t eat or drink in the morning until AFTER you’ve weighed
in, completely naked, of course.
8. Weigh yourself after a haircut, this is good for at least half

my addy

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Gang @ OneList,
I just got done yelling at my ISP because they had me goofed up for one of
my other lists. I could get into members only, I got the digests, but I
couldn’t send anything to the list nor the list owner. I sent to one of the
other administrators and he linked me up with the owner. After 2-3 days,
they figured out what was going on.
ANYWAY, this was my 10th call since Thursday to my ISP. I was told for the
4th time that eventually my addy WILL change and to get used to it now. One
guy said, No, No, No, No! Won’t happen. FOUR have told me YES it will.
Therefore, please keep my present addy, but add jhughey@… to your
*book.*
Thanks,
Jan

VALID COMPARISONS
A successful man is one who makes more money that his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.
When women are depressed, they either eat or go shopping.
When men are depressed, they invade another country.
A man will pay two dollars for a one-dollar item he wants.
A woman will pay one dollar for a two-dollar item she doesn’t need.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
Dogs are a man’s best friend.
Men want to be a woman’s first love.
Women want to be a man’s last.
To women romance is an occupation.
To men, it is a preoccupation.

subject line

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Gang @ One List,
I looked through our archives earlier for a topic I remembered, of a
previous post. I found it under a subject COMPLETELY UNRELATED to what I was
looking for and completely unrelated to the subject heading. I found it only
because a replier had left it on the tail of their post. I had to look under
all those (dual) posts. PLEASE (only intelligent members need to do this):
change the subject of a post as the subject changes.
The digest receivers AND I thank you!!!
