Let's Talk Fridays

Today I would like to talk about manners. When did people begin to lose their manners and when did society start to be okay with it?
Take this example: You are at work and a majority of the co-workers are talking about a party that was thrown by the other co-worker. You over hear about all of this, but you weren't invited to the party.
Where is the etiquette there?
Or this example: You are driving and trying to find a parking spot- you have your blinker on, but some other rude person sweeps in and takes it from you.
Or lastly this: You are carrying a bunch of shopping bags and struggling with the door, just as some other people walk by empty handed and don't help you.

So my question is what ever happened to Manners? Today, boys and girls do not say please, or thank you- instead I notice they tend to demand things. "I want that now" or "Get me that" are common words heard at your local Walmart.  People don't hold doors open, or ask if someone wants help. Mainly, the world seems obsessed with their technology- whether it be the latest iphone or tablet. Where does this manner-less world lead us to?
For that, I really would love some one to answer.

The heat

Raise your hand if it is super duper hot out side............
Yup that's what I thought. It is very hot outside. Today with the heat index it is 105- at 2pm. Ugh. In fact, it is so hot outside, that even Winston, my lovable pup, doesn't want to go out side. And there is no relief for us in the future. The next week, my state and many others are in a heat wave until Friday. Yeah right- this entire summer- every week there has been a heat wave. I feel like there is no end in sight. :(

Let's talk Fridays

Today I want to talk about.... Classifications. Mainly how and why we classify some women and girls as...female dogs. Now I know that all women have a female dog inside of us, but there are some, who live by their female dog. To save typing space, we will call the female dog by B. so, why is it that some women live by their inner B and tend to treat others bad. 
 I can only guess, so here are some:

1.  They are jealous of other women
2.  They dislike  of women
3.  They like to think of them selves as queens and what they want, they should get
4.  They don't know how to be happy
5. They  were raised that way by other B's.

To break don how to spot a B by my guesses- we will start with number 1- She is jealous of you

 - If a B is jealous of you, there are some sure fire signs I have now leaned. She will treat you like crap, and get really annoyed  when it has to be just you and her. She will not talk to you, and she will now want to learn about the thing she is the most jealous of. Whether it is the fact that you are married, and she isn't- you have a better job than she does, or you have a pet and she doesn't. The point is, there is something that you have that she doesn't and she wants. So, because you have that one thing, she will treat you like crap.

2- They dislike other women- this is very simple: they just hate other women and much prefer to be around men. 

3- They think of themselves as queens and what they want, they should get- basically- they want to be the alpha female at all times. They want all the attention on them and they will not share it. They will do what it takes and treat you however bad they have to, to make sure all eyes are on them. 

4-They don't know how to be happy- They are angry all the time because they cannot feel happiness. They do not know that emotion. They are angry and judgmental all the time because they cannot physically feel happiness. 

5- Being raised that way- Sometimes women who are B's find a man who is willing to put up with the B'ness and lo and behold, they have a daughter. The Mom then raises the daughter to be a B and the cycle will continue. 

That is what my thoughts are on this Friday. What are your thoughts about this?

My thoughts

I was late posting my pinteresting Sunday (sorry). I have been busy, and tired.  I have been working about 8 if not more hour days, and by the time I come home, I'm so tired from my job that I fall asleep. I then wake up- get everything set for the next day, and fall back asleep. Leaving no time for anything else, including exercising (which is very important and I know I need to do more), reading (look at my last post for how much I love to read), Knitting (I may post about this one soon) and finding a job(This is a must and is number one of my list).
 So my thought- why is it that I'm so tired? I know I work with kids, and my job, although it is not very physical, is still physically active. In fact, I don't get a chance to really sit down to eat most day- I'm up and about eating t on the move, helping a child do one thing or another. Is it the fact that I'm on my feet that makes it tiring? Or is it the stress- the emotional stress ranging from the kids and what they are doing/behaving like for the day to the staff- from how we decided to handle things- to the parents, how they act when we talk to them and whether or not they are helpful to us.  I feel that is is a combo of both- the psychical, the emotional and of course the mental strain of a job. 
But what can I do, so I'm not so tired? I would love ideas to help me out. please, please share any you have. 
                                                 

Pinteresting Sundays (way late)

So I'm way late with this, but my Pinteresting Sundays (Wednesday this week). 
I would like to talk about books. One of my many hobbies is to read- but I don't read I gobble books up. I have a very fast words per minute reading rate. Trust me...I'm fast. So for books that I have already read:
(there are no links just pictures)

This one is a very good book for classic reading.

I heard it was a good honeymoon book- i read it before that- It is a very interesting book. 

I really liked this book. I did not see the movie- I'm afraid the movie will ruin the book. Like Dear John-Great book- not so great movie. 

This one was a good read- it was a fast read for me, but was very interesting. 

Now for books I want to read: (I don't have many on my Pinterest since I have read a lot of them so far)

 

I was told all those books were great books to read- a bit sad, but great. 

I still need to read these ones from him- I really like Nicholas Sparks as an author his books are great.

Today I want to talk about perceptions. How do people perceive you?
 Is it right to judge someone based on their physical appearance. In today's world, we have a few people that are over weight. People judge those that are over weight- they may think that the over weight person doesn't work out- or eat healthy. Some times that may be true, but other times it could be genetics and that they cannot control it.
So why are we so judgmental of people's weight?
What about how they look and dress? Are we judgmental about that? I feel some people are. Think about this- You are walking down the street and you see someone in a trench coat. What is your first thought? Is it fair to judge someone based on how they are dressed?
Now what about accents and dialects? Most people think that the way you talk describes the type of education that you had. Is it fair to think that way?
What do you think on all of this?

Jam!

Tuesday night...
So my upstairs neighbor had extra strawberries from strawberry picking. Yum yum yum! So I decided to make strawberry jam. I washed the berries, mushed them up, boiled them with sugar and lemon juice.  After that I put it in the fridge to become...for lack of a better word Jammy. Well, my patient was running low and I moved it to the freezer. I know if I had put Pectin in my jam, it would be jammy. but I don't relly like how jelly like pectin makes my jam. 
 Right now, my jam looks more like sauce.   :(


Wednesday.
I checked on my Jam after moving it back to the fridge before bed last night and ...It looks like jam! Yay! It tastes really yummy. So for those of you who want to try to make the Jam I did here is my recipe:

• Take straw berries- wash them, cut off the green part, mush up the strawberries, set aside. 
• In a sauce pan, put in about 2 cups of sugar for every pound of strawberries you have, and the Juice from one lemon for every pound of strawberries. 
• I then added the strawberries and boiled it all together.

That's about it.
