Originally Posted By FaMulan The Most Irritating Cliché of All We hear them 24/7. But at the end of the day, which cliché makes you want to scream? With all due respect, figuring this out is not rocket science. At least, that's what a group called the Plain English Campaign thought. Led by John Lister, it surveyed more than 5,000 English-speaking people in 70 countries to determine the most annoying clichés of all time. And the No. 1 most annoying cliché is: "at the end of the day." And that is so right! There is nothing more annoying than a serious business executive standing before a room of bored employees droning on about "at the end of the day....blah blah blah." Folks just stop listening when those words are uttered. Which is exactly Lister's point about clichés. "When readers or listeners come across these tired expressions, they start tuning out and completely miss the message--assuming there is one," he told The Associated Press. "Using these terms in daily business is about as professional as wearing a novelty tie or having a wacky ringtone on your phone." Since he surveyed people in 70 countries, Lister expected geographical variations. He was surprised. The same tired old phrases are universally annoying around the world. The Most Irritating Clichés: 1. At the end of the day 2. At this moment in time 3. The constant use of "like," as if it were a form of punctuation 4. With all due respect Irritating Cliché Runners-Up: --24/7 --absolutely --address the issue --awesome --ballpark figure --bear with me --between a rock and a hard place --blue-sky thinking --bottom line --crack troops --glass half full (or half empty) --I hear what you're saying --in terms of --it's not rocket science --literally --move the goal posts --on a weekly basis --ongoing --singing from the same hymn sheet --the fact of the matter is --thinking outside the box --to be honest with you --touch base
Originally Posted By FaMulan Not a joke, but I hope it will help those who aren't mourning a close loss understand those of us who are... Hoping it will be of some comfort.....The death of a loved one can be very painful. Grief can be so overwhelming, it frightens us. Many people worry about grieving the "right" way and wonder if their feelings are normal. Most people who suffer a loss may find themselves experiencing one or more of the following: Tightness in the throat Heaviness in the chest An empty feeling in the stomache Loss of appetite Difficulty concentrating Difficulty completing tasks Difficulty sleeping Recurrent dreams about the loved one Restlessness Aimlessness A sense of loneliness and isolation Mood changes over the slightest things Inability to picture the loved one before the illness Crying at unexpected times Neglecting one's own health Experiencing some of the same physical symptoms as the loved one Preoccupation with the life of the loved one Anger at having been abandoned by the loved one A need to tell and retell the experience of the loved one's death Assuming a need to take care of others who seem comfortable by avoiding discussing one's loss Visualization of the deceased loved one A need to remember and retell things about the loved one It's okay to cry. We respond with a numbness, shock, denial, intense sorrow, pain, anger,confusion, loneliness, emptiness, depression, guilt, fear, abandonment, isolation, physical symptoms, irritability, fantasy, restlessness, disorganization and hopelessness. Grieving comes and goes in intensity. Some days you are doing well, and other days are just hard to get through. At times, you will be surprised at how the most insignificant thing can bring on an outpouring of grief. At other times, you will be amazed at your strength.

A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..." Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about....... Are you ready for this?............. Are you sure?........ ......... " It's just Mozart decomposing."
Originally Posted By FaMulan Timmy was a five-year-old boy whose Mom loved him very much, and being a worrier, she was concerned about his walking to school when he started kindergarten. She walked him to school the first couple of days and at the end of the week he came home he told her that he didn't want her walking him to school every day. He wanted to be like the "big boys". His mom had an idea about how to handle the situation. She asked a neighbor, Mrs. Goodnest, if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. Mrs. Goodnest said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed. The next school day, Mrs. Goodnest and her little girl, Marcy, set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor boy he knew. She did this for the entire week. As the boys walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's friend noticed the same lady was following them as she had done every day of the week. Finally he said to Timmy, "Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?" Timmy replied, "Yes, I know who she is." The friend said, "Well, who is she?" Timmy said, "That's just Shirley Goodnest and her daughter Marcy." "Shirley Goodnest? Who is she and why is she following us?" "Well", Timmy explained, "every night my Mom makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much and in the Psalm it says, "Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life, so I guess I'll just have to get used to it!"
