Daffodils are some of the first flowers we see in springtime and are a great indicator that winter is over. Because of this, they are seen to represent rebirth and new beginnings. Cheers!

Once you've harnessed that feeling, turn your thoughts to someone that you detest or that brings you great displeasure. I'm working on feeling more compassionate towards people who are intolerant of others. It is quite a challenge.

So I took a new tablecloth out of the linen drawer and placed it on a kitchen chair. Then I took everything off the table and wiped it down. Then I put the old tablecloth back on the table and put all the stuff back on it. The silliest part was after my wife got up my feelings were a little hurt because she didn't thank me for putting on a new tablecloth. Took me a day to realise the reason she didn't thank me was because I didn't put the new one on the table. Cheers and happy weekend! less

I was surprised because I feel the opposite way. My question assumes cost and convenience are the same.

It is a lot of hard work and not very good for the environment so this will probably be the last year I heat with wood. I am going to go with electricity so I started buying energy efficient space heaters. Electricity is pretty cheap in BC plus in BC it is all produced from renewable resources. Heating with wood has helped keep me in good shape so I will have to find some kind of exercise. Cheers and happy weekend! less

But I taught him how to do the What's Up head nod and how to look cool while doing it. Before I taught him the trick he spent most of his day looking out the window and resting his chin on the window sill. So I started giving him a what's up head nod ever time I went out on the deck and after 6 months or so he started giving me one back. But it wasn't a very cool looking what's up head nod so I spent another year teaching him how to do the what's up head nod in a cool looking way. I bet I could also teach a 120 year old person how to look cool while doing a what's up head nod. Cheers! less

And 37 years of not wanting to know my sons because (in her mind) their mother was a whore (pardon my French) my evil half sister from Windsor wants to do a kiss and make up sort of thing. So I am torn between doing the harsh thing when she calls or doing the gangster thing when she calls. The harsh way would be to give her a piece of my mind and then telling her to F off. The gangster way would be to tell her that if she ever bothers me again or she try's to get a hold of me by bothering my sons she will be sleeping with the mud puppies in the Detroit river. Then I would remind her that I still have some pretty long arms and that I was always Grandma's favorite. Cheers! less
