When I saw you and your kiddos in the school office last week, it was the highlight of my day--laughing until I cried over Ms. Kim's coupons. You got me with the big earrings, though. I do not, however, wear them around little people who cannot control their urge to yank! I have to wear them to assert my femininity with this short hair.TeacherFromTNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915549865434643334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-88936562576423669372011-03-02T20:22:52.600-05:002011-03-02T20:22:52.600-05:00Yo!

I could make a little comment on almost all of these, but I will refrain and comment on number 4(body image) only because the phrase "...is it gonna matter that much when we go to meet our maker..." and I say yes it going to matter. Don't you think that our maker is going to be pissed as hell when he sees what we have don't with his beautiful creation? sure any kind of obsession is not good, but neither is the fact that we are disrespecting our "temples" the way we are. <br /><br />We all need to take care of our bodies, and we all know what that means individually, not through the eyes of the world, but through understanding our physical potential and putting an effort to be the best we can be<br /><br />"cialis" I love it!<br />keep writing!Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868741246246250998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-14504182196883875052011-03-02T16:10:04.944-05:002011-03-02T16:10:04.944-05:00Ok, since you want the pot to be stirred, I'll...Ok, since you want the pot to be stirred, I'll comply and leave a comment:) I'll preface this with the fact that I think you really are so funny and a very likeable person and I comment with the best of intentions. I disagree with so much of what you say (minus brussel sprouts, boogers, and sleeping bag material), though it's difficult to tell what's sarcasm and what you actually believe. You're stating that you detest everyone else who behaves exactly the same way you do--people who act fake, self righteous, have eating disorders, are mean, bullies, and needy. Cut yourself and other some slack and realize that we're pretty much all good people (minus some sociopaths) doing the best we can with what we have. And we all sometimes express our anxieties and insecurities by hiding some things, not taking good care of our bodies, by tearing people down in order to make ourselves feel less crappy about ourselves, and by seeking pacification through food, drugs, or needy blog posts. You know how people always post quotes on FB? The only one I've ever written down is this one, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." --SocratesKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883172555626408715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-68330540648940072902011-03-02T14:37:33.423-05:002011-03-02T14:37:33.423-05:00I finally got the finish this post... in between t...I finally got the finish this post... in between the requests from my hubby... the dishes... phone calls from my doctors office... and I totally agree with just about everything you say... except I love brussel sprouts they do smell gross so does broccoli and cauliflower during the whole cooking process and they all produce gas... for me anyway.

I totally admit to having these same issues, therefore I am not a hypocrite...but aren't we all really??? <br /><br />2 - I really do love people with these issues. I really do. This post is gonna piss off most my friends, but the cool things about my friends is that they know me well enough to know my love for them can see through their issues.
