Girlie Wisdom! 
  • A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills.... she has 14 kids but she doesn't really care.
  • One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.
  • My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
  • The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
  • The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.
  • The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.
  • Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today...
  • Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
  • I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my panties.
  • Amazing! You hang something in your closet, for a while, and it shrinks 2 sizes!
  • Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like....'You know sometimes I forget to eat!'.....Now, I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys, but I have never, ever forgotten to eat.
  • The troublewith some women is that they get all excited about nothing -- and then they marry him.
  • I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!
  • I don't want to brag or make anyone jealous, but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable.  I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others.  I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.  I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.

2010 ~  Tillie, Queen Mum
JUST FOR TODAY: Just for today: I will improve my mind.  I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.  I will not be a mental loafer

2010 ~ Judith, Queen of Vice
JUST FOR TODAY: Just for today: I will accept what is.  I will face reality.  I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot

2010 ~ Tillie, Queen Mum
JUST FOR TODAY:
I will be happy.  I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me.  If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

2010 ~ Tillie, Queen Mum
JUST FOR TODAY:
I will live through this day only.  I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow.  I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once.

If I could catch a rainbow, I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty, On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain you could call your very own;
A place to find serenity, A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding, Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain, Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best, A friend who's always there.

"A Lady is Passing By"

 

A Lady is Passing by

We are all standing along her path

As this great Lady takes her last journey

Sisters all dressed in purple and red

As a Red Hat Sister passes by.

She will be passing my way soon

I can feel her spirit in the morning breeze

I am blessed that I came to know her

Before this Red Hat Sister passed by me.

The words of an old hymn comfort me

Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home

In grace a Red Hat Sister is passing by.

As she passes we tip our red hats in respect

And our hearts crying shed tears of love

We stand in awe - she is one of our own.

                Our Red Hat sister is passing by.

  • For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.   For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. 
  • For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.  
  • For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
  • For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
  • Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.  As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

CHOCOLATE IS A VEGETABLE
Chocolate is derived from cocoa beams.
Beans = vegetable.
Sugar is derived from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS.
Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category.
Thus, Chocolate is a vegetable.
To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy.
So candy bars are a health food.
Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all 
count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. 
If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, your are eating it too slowly.
