Animal Quotes

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.

Charles Darwin 

A dog wags its tail with its heart

Martin Buxbaum

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated

The difference between friends and pets is that friends we allow into our company, pets we allow into our solitude.

Robert Brault

Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul: chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!

Anne Tyler

Animals are such agreeable friends, they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

George Eliot

It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being. 

Henry David Thoreau

Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet. 

Colette

If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man.  All things are connected.  Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. 

Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Tribe, letter to President Franklin Pierce

Determining which pet is right for you

If you get a pet that is difficult to take care of it will be more stress then therapy. If you live in an apartment or are elderly maybe an older cat or small dog. Hint get a dog who's activity level is closer to yours. Big dogs need to be walked or have a big backyard to run around in. And big dogs also make bigger messes so make sure you are ready and willing to clean up after them. Also keep this in mind when buying a pet as a gift for someone. If they are not able to care for the animal it may end up in a shelter or worse. Also make sure your pet gets the immunizations that it needs as well as regular checkups. If you do not want puppies or kittens or whatever offspring your animal has make sure you get them spayed or neutered.

Rumi Quotes

Rumi was born in 1207 and died in 1273

I love them with my soul.
Soul never stops or forgets.

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

Rumi

You have wings. 
Learn to use them and fly.

Rumi

Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life.

Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?

Very little grows on jagged rock. Be ground. Be crumbled, so wildflowers will come up where you are.

Goooo Seahawks!

The Seattle Seahawks are my favorite football team and they have made it to the Superbowl this year. I have rounded up a list of must have items for every fan. New fans are welcome here as well. The Seahawks are a young team and hopefully this is the first of many Superbowl appearences.

The last time we were in the Superbowl was Super Bowl XL which decided the NFL champion of the 2005 year.  The game was played in Detroit, Michigan. The Seahawks lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a final score of 21-10. Watching sports is excellent for mental health because it gives something to look forward to and really brings people together. Seahawks fever is at an all time high. Don't be left out get your gear now.

A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.

William Shakespeare

We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet. Even longer,' Pooh answered.

A. A. Milne

It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

 John Leonard quotes

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

Douglas Pagels

The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend.

Aristotle

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

A good friend is cheaper than therapy.

Author Unknown

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Henri Nouwen

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

William Blake

But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one’s deepest as well as one’s most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Oh, the comfort — the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person — having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

Dinah Craik

Halloween Quotes

For your enjoyment ghouls and boys.

Hark! Hark to the wind! 'Tis the night, they say,
When all souls come back from the far away- 
The dead, forgotten this many a day! 

Virna Sheard

It's that beautiful time of year when leaves are falling and there is a chill in the air.

When witches go riding,

And black cats are seen,

The moon laughs and whispers,
'Tis near Halloween.

Vintage postcard greeting

When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam,

May luck be yours on Halloween.

Nothing on Earth so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night. 

Steve Almond

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

Scottish Saying

Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen,
Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween!"

Dexter Kozen

If a man harbors any sort of fear, it makes him landlord to a ghost.

Lloyd Douglas

Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with.  C.B. is such a loser.  He wasn't even the star of his own Halloween special. 

Chris Rock

Once in a young lifetime one should be allowed to have as much sweetness as one can possibly want and hold. 

Judith Olney

Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on.

May Jack-o-lanterns burning bright
Of soft and golden hue

What fate now holds for you.

Wedding Quotes

From the time I was a little girl I have always dreamed of being a Disney movie type princess and having a fairytale wedding. Here you will find quotes about all things wedding.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.

Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Socrates

I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it.

A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife.

I Hate Spam

I hate spam. I would never spam anyone on purpose. People who engage in spam are mucking up the internet for us legitimate people who want a connection to their audience yet like myself would be devastated to ever be accused of spamming anyone.

Some people do not know the difference between actual spam and something they obviously not paying much attention signed up for (There is a big difference). So that is why I do not ask for email addresses to access my content. There will be times when I would love to correspond with you I just won't do it in an automated fashion.

For myself individual attention is best. May take longer yet I have always preferred quality over quantity any day and I won't knowingly represent any company who I feel does not honor this code of ethics.

                                                             I hate spam quotes

The difference between a stranger sending you a message that you might be interested in at a very low volume level, no repetition, just sending it to very few people, and that being done as spam - those things get close enough that you want to be careful never to filter out something that's legitimate.

Bill Gates

SPAM is taking e-mail, which is a wonderful tool, and exploiting the idea that it's very inexpensive to send mail.

Bill Gates

Every major communication tool on the Internet has spam and abuse problems. All email services, blogging services and social networks have to dedicate a significant amount of resources and time to fighting abuse and protecting their users.

Evan Williams

Review of Cafe Cup

This Review of Cafe Cup comes to you as I was lucky enough to get a Keurig for Christmas. I had used one before at a friends house and was thinking about purchasing one yet I was concerned about the cost of K-cups. I had been researching the As seen on TV Cafe Cups and planned to try them when I bought a Keurig.

Well I was even lucky enough to get some for Christmas (from the same person that bought the maker)

I couldn't wait for the weekend to come so I could try out my new appliance. I used the K Cup sample pack of 5 to test my machine and wasted a Vanilla flavor K Cup. Hind site being 20/20 I should of used the decaf for the tester.

I got out my other gift a big thing of Yuban. I opened it up and used the handy scoop that came in the Cafe Cup package. First I washed the cup then filled it up (loosely not quite to the top) and closed the lid and lined up and placed where I had been placing the K Cups. I pressed brew and next thing I knew I had a delicious cup of coffee that tasted like silk to me. After several cups I tried brewing a second cup from the same K Cup and it tasted okay it was just more watered down then I would like. So for me it will be a new cup each time. I highly recommend the Cafe Cup.

I usually use the same cup each time but the package comes with 4! 2 Red and 2 black and the handy scoop. Well worth the 9.99 or what ever cost they may be. You will definitely save money as far as buying the K Cups versus buying bulk and just think you can try as many flavors as you like. Complete freedom just how I like it. 

I give these an A+. I hope my review of Cafe Cup and pictures help in your decision to buy these or not.

I don't know about you but I am ready for a cup now. It's so fun trying out new creamers as well. The possibilities are endless.

Fake People

Fake people. Can we ration with each other? Most people are somewhat intelligent (especially if you are reading this) and we can see right through your fakeness. We see you being all sweet to people above you and treating those you feel are beneath you like dirt. Oh your nice to us sometimes like when the people that are higher up then you think you are nice to us. And everyone. But fake people only worry about their appearance and how much money they are making for themselves and the company. None of them care about you because your just there to do their work.

And guess who gets all the glory? Oh but mess up. Actually do something wrong so that they look bad then your in for it. They know there's a ton of other people that need a job so your dispensable to them. And that is not right but think about what it took to train you. That takes time. And sadly they end up losing great employees over it. And it does bug them they will have to retrain a new person their immature brain is happy that they won. Won what? Whatever you believe in there is a higher power I believe and score IS being taken. Not by man so punishment will be severe and the best part JUST so why fake it. Being positive will work out so much better for you in the long run because you also have to worry about karma. What goes around truly does come around. It may take an hour it may take 5 years or more but trust and believe you will get yours. It would be nice if people who have the fake gene not be allowed to breed so that the mature responsible adults of the world could thrive.

There would most likely be world wide peace. Imagine that. I think fakeness is an evil trait. I have seen it hurt to many people and I am frustrated that it is still so rampant and that people have no backbone to stand up for others. Albert Einstein was so brilliant he saw the trait way back when. But people are people. Be wary about who you trust and who you let in your circle. Some may not be fake people simply if they have a mean girl or other type friend that is popular they may want to imitate them in hopes of being popular themselves. So it may just be a phase. I have talked to tens of thousands of people throughout my many years working in different industries of customer service. I have talked to super rich people at my days with American Express down to super poor. I grew up in a melting pot environment where from a young age my friends were of all races and I was taught about all races. I did have southern relatives who did not have this same experience as me and so there opinions were different but luckily for me growing up like that I never knew prejudice to me we are all human beings. I felt at home being with all people of a different race. That was my normal and I grew up open minded and a free spirit. I also have extremely high morals and ethics. I don't believe in lying cheating or stealing. I am a dream employee. Fake people can't stand me. I do my work work with little no supervision and whatever I am doing I try my best to do it exactly as you tell me. And I have done this for years.

I am naturally happy and it seems that some people can't stand people that are naturally happy and they try and try and try to squash it and that's okay because I have found God and he led me to my dream job. Working for myself! And soon I will be able to hire others to help me and I will be able to afford it thereby helping them help me. Good karma. From now on I want to live the rest of my life helping people. That is what I am good at. I can't do it for free because I to have to survive but I am fair. If you are interested in a life coach let me know. I feel I am ready for that part of my life to flourish. I am a discrete private person and if you would like to meet with me or one of my team send an email please. We can communicate through email and then I will talk further about pricing for our life coach services. We have many writers on this site.

My goal is for good to persevere over evil. If your mostly good and have just a touch of evil for funniness you are alright by us. Fake people will no longer be tolerated. Give yourself permission for positive and your life will start improving. And if you are currently dealing with a member of the fake committee please try your best to ignore them. You can overcome this. Smile. We have to many problems in the world to have to worry about miner differences with each other fake people. We should never be each other and by each other I mean mankind's enemy.
