    Find your birthday and then find your tree.
    This is really cool and somewhat accurate. Then send it to your friends,
    including the one that sent it to you, so they can find out what tree they
    fell from, but don't forget to change the subject line to your tree.

    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

    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.

    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."

    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!"

    Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

    3. How about never? Is never good for you?
    4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in
    public.
    5. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my
    way.
    6. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
    7. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message.
    8. I don't work here. I'm a consultant.
    9. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
    10. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again.
    11. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.
    12. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
    13. I have plenty of talent and vision; I just don't give a darn.
    14. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
    15. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.
    16. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of
    view.
    17. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
    18. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
    19. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?
    20. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.
    21. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.
    22. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
    23. And your cry baby whiney-arsed opinion would be...?
    24. Do I look like a people person?
    25. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.
    26. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left.
    28. If I throw a stick, will you leave?
    29. Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.
    30. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.
    31. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
    32. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.
    33. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1?
    34. Too many freaks, not enough circuses.
    35. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?
    36. Chaos, panic, & disorder...my work here is done.
    37. How do I set a laser printer to stun?
    38. I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted a salary.
    39. Oh, I get it....like humor... but different

    * I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it's good for removing
    toilet stains.

    * I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with a
    disease.

    * I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause
    cancer.

    * I don't leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes I
    even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a
    perfume sample and try to rob me.

    * I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a
    stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell with calls to Uganda,
    Singapore and Tokyo.

    * I also stopped eating chicken and hamburgers because they are nothing other
    than horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers that are bred in a lab so
    that places like McDonalds can sell their Big Macs and chicken nuggets.

    >* I also stopped drinking anything out of a can for fear that I will get sick
    from the rat feces and urine.

    * When I go to parties, I don't look at any guy no matter how hot he is, for
    fear that he will take me to a hotel, drug me then take my kidneys and leave me
    taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.

    * I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that was
    about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. (Funny that girl,she's been 7
    since 1993...)

    * I went bankrupt from bounced checks that I made expecting the $15,000 that
    Microsoft and AOL were supposed to send me when I participated in heir special
    e-mail program would arrive soon.

    * My free Nokia phone never arrived and neither did the free passes for a paid
    vacation to Disneyland.

    * But I am positive that all this is the cause of a stinking chain that I
    broke or forgot to follow and I got a curse from hell.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:

    If you do not send this e-mail to at least 1200 people
    in the next 10 seconds, a bird will crap on your car.

    Maxine's Way Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!

    Martha's Way To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
    Maxine's Way Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

    Martha's Way When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake
    Maxine's Way Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you.

    Martha's Way If you accidentally oversalt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up."
    Maxine's Way If you oversalt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!"

    Martha's Way Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
    Maxine's Way Celery? Never heard of it!

    Martha's Way Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
    Maxine's Way The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.

    Martha's Way Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
    Maxine's Way Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!

    Martha's Way If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
    Maxine's Way Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

    Martha's Way Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
    Maxine's Way Leftover wine???????? HEL-LO !!!!!
