Rock Bottom

Signs you may be drinking too much:

You lose arguments with inanimate objects.

Job interfering with your drinking.

Sincerely believe alcohol to be the elusive 5th food group.

24 hours in a day. 24 beers in a case - coincidence?

You can focus better with one eye closed.

The parking lot seems to have moved while you were in the bar.

Mosquitoes catch a buzz after attacking you.

At AA meetings you begin: "Hi, my name is... uh..."

Your idea of cutting back is less salt.

The whole bar says 'Hi' when you walk in.

You think the Four Basic Food Groups are Caffeine, Nicotine, Alcohol, and Women.

Lessons

My kids taught me...

• Picking your nose when no one else is looking is still picking your nose.


• Just keep banging until someone opens the door.


• Making your bed is a waste of time.


• There is no good reason why clothes have to match.


• Even Popeye didn't eat his spinach until he absolutely had to.


• If your dog doesn't like someone, you probably shouldn't either.


• Toads aren't ugly, they're just toads.


• Don't pop someone else's bubble.


• You work so hard peddling up the hill that you hate to brake on the way down.


• If you stand on tiptoe to be measured this year, you'll have to stand on tiptoe for the rest of your life.


• You can't ask to start over just because you're losing the game.


• Chasing the cat is more fun than catching it.

Saturday Musings

There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

You mean the world to someone.

You are special and unique.

Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.

Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

I believe�
that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I believe�
that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

A Question

Recently I was ask the question below and it gave me pause. Wow what day would I want to relive again and why. At first I thought about a really fun day that I would like to relive again. Then I thought about making a wrong right. Then I thought about a day that perhaps I could change an outcome for the better. I thought long and hard. It finally boiled down to what was most precious to me. I would want to spend any day with my mother again. Just one whole day to enjoy her company. She was near and dear to me and after almost 20 years I still miss her terribly.

So will you answer this question. I would love to know how you feel.

If you could re-live a day of your life again, which day would it be and why?

Words of Wisdom

If you can�t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Never buy a car you can�t push.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don�t have a leg to stand on.

Nobody cares if you can�t dance well. Just get up and dance.

The early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.

The second mouse gets the cheese.

When everything�s coming your way, you�re in the wrong lane.

Birthdays are good for you, the more you have, the longer you live.

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Don�t cry because it�s over, smile because it happened.

We could learn a lot from crayons, some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have to learn to live in the same box.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Happiness comes through doors you didn�t even know you left open.
