back in 1970, my cousin and her husband were looking for a house. One house in particular really stood out....it was HUGE and had a ravine lot in the back that stretched endlessly.and the house was at a ridiculously low price (at that time, I think it was about $11,900.00) ..she totally fell in love with the ravine lot and the SIZE of the house that her and her hubby purchased it on the spot....all appliances and drapery were included in the price! she thought PEEEERFECT!
they moved in with their sons and because the basement was finished, they used that as a playroom for the boys....
every time the boys went downstairs, the basement door would slam shut...and my cousin Rose (we're named after the same gradmother..she's much older than I ) would yell out, CAREFUL WITH THE DOOR BOYS!!!.....this went on for months...and every time the boys came upstairs, they would complain that they were FREEZING and that their hands and feet were icebergs...and so they were....Rose checked the furnace and everything seemed fine and really didn't make much out of it.....then the boys kept saying that Mr. Crane keeps yelling at them that they are making too much noice...again, she just thought "huh, imaginary friend I guess" (I'm trying to make this short guys!)
Then one day, Rose was in the kitchen that FACED the backyard and noticed footsteps in the snow going OUT of the house...she didn't think anything of it....this happened every single time the snow would fall...
finally, one day, the kids were in the kitchen with her and said HEY MOM, THERE IS MR. CRANE...HE'S COMING OUT FROM THE BASEMENT....SEE HIM!!! SEE HIM!!!!
Rose looked over and again, fresh steps were happening RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER EYES...with nobody there...
anywho, she freaked out and called her husband whom came over...they figured some ghost...
well, the neighbour had come by and asked to speak to her....she invited the old lady in....
The said house? well, the original owners were an older couple...and the woman was in and out of the mental institution for some time...and she would come home on the weekends...well, one deadly weekend, she decided to kilil her husband in his sleep..she did so and stuffed him in the freezer that was conveniently located in the basement...she ended up killing herself and nobosy knew better till about 6 months later when the mailbox was filling and filling up....the found the woman in the kitchen and didn't find the old man till MANY MANY months later...
needless to say, the house was cleaned up and on the market right away...making sense to the cheap price...
end of story??? my cousin sold the house at HALF of what she paid and got the F out within days.....
I don't think that being alone for the rest of your life is a good thing...there IS someone for everyone...
I have been single for some time now, almost seven years to be exact...I have dated but that connection wasn't there and I wasn't looking for perfection cause I'm not....
however, I did meet someone whom, just as myself, is NOT perfect...but perfect for me....
for the longest time, my motto was this:
I would rather be alone and be lonely than to be with someone, and be alone............
a while back I had posted something regarding eating sensibly and more healthy.....
That was probably some time in the spring....
well, I just wanted to SHARE my good news.....
since April/may of 2007 to NOW.......I HAVE HIT THE 50 POUND MARK!
yep, I am 50 pounds lighter....and boy, do I feel great....
Maybe I sound selfish telling all of you but truly guys, it was VERY hard and a lot getting used to....
just wanted to let any of you know that if you REALLY REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLY put your heart and head into some sort of change in your life, it really does work!
after I lose the balance of the weight ......I am gonna quit smoking!
oh yeah, I didn't go to organic foods but moreso, cut out carbs, sugars, processed foods and added more green veggies, lean meats and loads of water......
as for exercising, I walked and I wore ankle weights...and still do today...(I have dress pants on and they are stragetically HIDDEN under my pants...lol)
I know, I know, everyone is thinking it's a chick flick and they are probably correct BUT in this movie, I had every single emotion go thru me....laughter, seriousness, tears, sadness, euphoric feelings...it's a huge mix of different feelings....my sister in law and I went and we both had different emotions thru the whole movie
it makes you appreciate what it is that you have and also, lets you know that life is short sometimes and unfortunately we don't live it as we should....which is "to the fullest"
It's also a great date movie (or so the critics say)
this is a must movie....guys or girls...and trust me, you will be on a roller coaster ride.....but truly a great flick
happy new year to all...........and all the best in the new year
I DID have plans but as freaking usual, there is always some sort of screw up.....and pretty much everything has been axed!
now, nobody knows what they want to do?????!!!!!!!!!!!!
soooooooooooo, with that, I am going to my sisters house....good food, good cheer, loads of people and hey, it's only 15 minutes away and my sister in law and bro are going too.....so I dont even have to drive....
however, wish I DID Have someone to kiss passionately tonight...oh well, hopefully NEXT YEAR
how about your funny hat, and your birthday suit??? I am sure everyone would remember you no doubt! lol
If you were Santa for one MINUTE, (money is no object ) who would you give a gift to and what would it be? (where the heck is RUDOLPH on this thing! lol)
I'd get a calling card and whip out my 35mm camera coupled with film.............and quick!
I have many friends and family that do NOT reside near me and so, the pc is useful in keeping in touch with them....
I think that would be the only REAL downfall................
really don't give a rat's behind about the computer...usually on it at work only......the one at home? it collects dust....until I do my housecleaning on Saturdays!

Almost every day is a NEW DAY'S RESOLUTION for me!
I learn about things almost every day and with that information, I want to correct errors, forgive myself and others for failing at what I expected or wanted, want to get HEALTHIER, want to quit smoking (that is happening soon)
every day is a resolution........it's just a matter of pulling thru on it........
but if there IS one thing I would love to change next year....it would be to END my single status......and be with someone to take on the world ..T-O-G-E-T-H-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Christmas to all........and may the next year be fruitful for all of us.........
GOod music to me is something that can capture my soul..........
may it be the lyrics, the sound or the emotions it can bring......
I love an upbeat song when I am driving home, soft rock when I am at home, lounging, sad songs when I just feel like being sad and need to release.........and then I love any type of freestyle when I am in the need to dance....which I do almost every day....may it be at work OR at home.........
I believe that MUSIC is here to help us release emotions.......and endorphins............
IN closing, I think that MUSIC IS FOOD FOR THE SOUL.............
I must admit that a nice cup of joe from Timmy's is always sweet
I have to agree with many of us that the line ups are ridiculous.............
I have to agree with Foxy about the coffee not tasting the same at home as it does at Tim's
Someone once told me that the reason for the coffee tasting 'different" is cause the makers aren't cleaned as often and thus the reason for the different tasting coffee
anywho, I think that Country Style Donuts ROCKS........I am not sure if there are any outside of Ontario but for those of you that do live in ONtario....try their coffee........
Less line ups (actually rarely any at all), the service is the same, the coffee is HOT and deeeeeeeeeeeeee-licious!
I was undecided about whether I should quit smoing or lose weight...the latter won!
so far, I have lost 43 pounds and got another 50 to go.............
however, I have tried to kick the habit.....the patch, the gum and even some fake plasitc cigarettes (you insert the nicorette in it) that at least give you the "thought" that you are smoking but the outcome was NADA
after the weight loss, I have opted for laser therapy........apparantly, they lazer your ears, your hands and maybe some other part of your anatomy that can trigger smoking habits...
It is a bit costly, about $500.00 BUT on the flip side, it's 500 bucks well spent !!!
better that than another 50 packs of smokes.............
Good luck to you....I know it's hard cause I have tried ............. chew gum, take up eating sunflower seeds, not only does it keep your mouth busy but also, your hands.........
Jen is one of the most kindest, caring, compassionate and loving friends one can ever hope for...and I am glad that sh is mine.........She deserves everything wonderful that life offers (along with her daughter)...
to put it simply...............SUPERKALAFRAGALISTIC-ESPIEALIDOCIOUS!
I think that with internet dating, there are too many opportunities for some and they just want to multi-date....
(BTW, I'm not throwing EVERYONE into that catergory)
And I have to agree with Jen....on line chatting is fun but when they are face to face, it seems like they become someone "different' from whom they were on line....
plus, it's only A date........how serious could it have been?
regardless that she may have got one already, they are always useful, can be used anytime of the year and it's a pampering thought....just letting her know that you gave her a pampering day....
My neices are 16, 19 and 26.......for christmas, I now get them just that....a day at the 'spa"..........and add in some bath stuff in a basket.....
they LOVE it and I am sure your daugther will too!
I have twin nephews, amungst the 10 in total that I DO have, and at christmas, I either get them something having to do with skateboarding...(hoodie, runners, etc) OR I get them something having to do with the Toronto Maple Losers...lol, er I mean LEAFS.........It can be gloves, hat, scarf, memorbilia, little statues, figurines, whatever applys to the leafs.....
I usually find out what they are really into and then, take it from there....and if all else fails, I get them gift certificates to HMV, a clothing store (cr@p, cannot think of that skateboarding place right now...something 44 or 34...lol) OR I get them a few dvd's.....
It;s happened to me and sometimes, I AM the one that just sends a few jokes but no personal emails.......
It can be various reasons...
one, I haven't got the time to sit down and write to that person at that time 2) sending a joke just means that I thought it was funny and thought I would share the fun or 3) I have written, no response from the other person and so, I just keep it as an email friend
besides the few personal reasons I just gave, I know no other reason
