bad habbits to get rid of...
"Wearing New Clothes Without Washing Them First
When Philip Tierno, director of microbiology at New York University, took cultures from new clothing, he discovered a shocking level of filth -- from feces and vaginal secretions to diarrhea-causing viruses. Protect yourself by wearing a T-shirt and undergarments when you try on clothes and scrubbing down your hands after shopping. Then once you get that new outfit home, definitely wash it before you wear it.
Doing Crunches Every Day
While crunches and sit-ups may work wonders on your abs, they can also put pressure on your lower back. Repeatedly bending over in an attempt to flatten your abs slowly breaks down spinal disks. You don't have to ditch crunches entirely but do use proper form or consider some other ab flatteners, like the bicycle, which is considered more effective.
Nursing a Grudge
A University of Tennessee-Knoxville study, found that when you're willing to let bygones be bygones, you improve the condition of your heart. The research demonstrates that forgivers have lower blood pressure than those filled to the brim with resentment.
Procrastinating
Research at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland found that procrastinators suffer 20 percent more colds and flus than the just-do-it crowd. The same study shows that putting things off can bring on headaches, sleep problems and tummy trouble. Never put off for today what could cause heartache tomorrow.
Carrying an Oversize Purse
While your cute handbag may draw stares from admiring oglers, it may also be jeopardizing your health. Shazia Khan, M.D., co-medical director at Loyola Primary Care Center at Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., says that bags weighing 10 or more pounds put a strain on the neck and shoulders and cause pain and injury. Khan suggests that women use small purses made with light material or backpacks that distribute weight evenly. Can't bear to part with your mega tote? Alternate the shoulder on which you carry the bag or try some strength-training exercises for your neck, back and shoulder.
Forgetting to Floss
Daily flossing and brushing may do far more than just protect your pearly whites -- they may save your heart. The American Academy of Periodontology reports a link between poor gum health (namely, periodontal disease like gingivitis) and an increased risk for heart disease -- the No. 1 killer of Americans. That's because bacteria from the mouth can enter the blood stream through the gums.
Sleeping With an Old Pillow
Pillows, one of many household health hazards, are a breeding ground for dust mites and fungi, which can give you major allergies. Researchers at University of Manchester, England, found 16 types of fungi in the pillows they analyzed (feather pillows had fewer fungi than synthetic ones). Washing a pillow will rid it of some of the fungi, but the average pillow lasts just 18 months before it should be replaced.
Racing Through Meals
Too harried and hurried to sit and savor your food? The grab 'n' go lifestyle not only increases your risk for acid reflux and indigestion, but those who inhale their food often consume too many calories. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that women who ate slowly consumed 70 fewer calories than those who stuffed down their meals -- in part because when you eat rapidly, you don't give your brain a chance to signal your stomach that it is full.

Positive Attitude
" A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.
We don't understand entirely why positive thoughts impact our bodies in positive ways; we just know that they do. Research has shown that people who are sick improve more quickly when they have a positive attitude rather than a negative attitude. And we all know the power of the placebo effect.
A positive attitude by itself may not cure an illness,but at the very least it helps us cope better. If a positive attitude can help us when we're sick, how might it benefit us when we're not sick?"

~Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
~The miracle is not to fly in the air, or walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.
~Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
~Firelight will not let you read fine stories, but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor.
~Three things in human life are important.
The first is to be kind.
The second is to be kind.
The third is to be kind.
~Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.

Keeping Friends
People, even more then things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
Even a baby responds happily to the sound of laughter. "I can't just make myself laugh," we say when someone chides us for being grumpy. But we can. Every day is full of amusing moments- if we take time to notice and appreciate them. We can even laugh at ourselves.
I will laugh whole heartedly today.
I will laugh whole heartedly today.

i bought a book
for the days that have already passed in the daily book of positive quotations...
"One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things."
"Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in the winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it."
"People don't just get upset. They contribute to their upsetness."
"When i hear somebody sigh that life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'"
"Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself."
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."
"You got to be careful if you dont know where your going, because you might not get there."
"I ask not for a lighter burden but for broader shoulders."
"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
"Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly; devils fall because of their gravity."
"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the years course. Even a happy life cannot be without the measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
"Start by doing what is necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
"They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
"The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas."
"Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."
"Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow."

Rescue
Relax - Take 10 deep breaths. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly.
Exercise - Learn some basic yoga techniques or just take a 10 minute walk.
Smile - Think of a happy time. It is near impossible to keep frowning while smiling and laughter stimulates the production of mood enhancing endorphins.
Calm - Let your imagination take you to a calm and tranquil place that exudes peace, serenity and beauty.
Use Your Lunchbreak - Take time out for yourself. A walk in the park, especially if it is sunny, can do wonders for your mood. It will help you work more efficiently in the afternoon too.
Escape - If you are able to, walk away. Removing yourself from a stressful situation can give you time to restore some perspective.

Gotta Pee
Two women friends had gone for a girl's night out.
Both were very faithful and loving wives, however they had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi Breezers.
Incredibly drunk and walking home they needed to pee,
so they stopped in the cemetery.
One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought she would take off her panties and use them. Her friend however was wearing a rather expensive pair of panties and did not want to ruin them.
She was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave that had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she proceeded to wipe with that.
After the girls did their business they proceeded to go home.
The next day one of the woman's husband was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said:
'These girl nights out have got to stop! I'm starting to suspect
the worst. .. my wife came home with no panties!!'
'That's nothing' said the other husband,
'Mine came back with a card stuck to her ass that said.....
'From all of us at the Fire Station.
We'll never forget you.''

Ollie and Sven
Ollie and Sven were fishing when Sven pulled out a cigar.
Finding he had no matches, he asked Ollie for a light.
'Ya, shure, I tink I haff a lighter,' he replied, and then reaching into his tackle box, he pulled out a Bic lighter 10 inches long.
'Yiminy Cricket!' exclaimed Sven, taking the huge Bic Lighter in his hands.
'Vere dit yew git dat monster??'
'Vell,' replied Ollie, 'I got it from my Genie.'
'You haff a Genie?' Sven asked.
'Ya, shure. It's right here in my tackle box,' says Ollie.'
Could I see him?'
Ollie opens his tackle box & sure enough, out pops the Genie.
Addressing the genie, Sven says, 'Hey dere! I'm a good friend of your master. Vill you grant me vun vish?'
'Yes, I will,' says the Genie.
So Sven asks the Genie for a million bucks.
The Genie disappears back into the tackle box leaving Sven sitting there waiting for his million bucks.Shortly, the sky darkens and is filled with the sound of a million ducks....flying directly overhead.Over the roar of the million ducks Sven yells at Ollie,
'Yumpin' Yimminy, I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!
'Ollie answers, 'Ya, I forgot to tell yew dat da Genie is hart of hearing. Do yew really tink I asked for a 10-inch Bic?"

Talking Clock!!!
CLOCK
A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night. He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.
A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night. He led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong and a mallet.
'What's that big brass gong?' one of the guests asked.
'It's not a gong. It's a talking clock,' the drunk replied.
'A talking clock? Seriously?' asked his astonished friend.
'Yup,' replied the drunk.
'How's it work?' the friend asked, squinting at it.
'Watch,' the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave the gong an ear-shattering pound, and stepped back.
The three stood looking at one another for a moment.......
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, 'You ass-hole! It's three-fifteen in the morning!'
'It's not a gong. It's a talking clock,' the drunk replied.

Church wars (war of words)
This is literally a 'church signs' debate, being played out in a Southern town, between the Catholic church and a (fundamentalist) Presbyterian church. From top to bottom shows you the response and counter-response over time
The Catholics are displaying a much better sense of humor! You get the impression that the Presbyterians are actually taking this seriously!
~what they say...cc=catholic church and pc=presbyterian church
*cc-"all dogs go to heaven"
*pc-"only humans go to heaven read the bible"
*cc-"god loves all his creations dogs included
*pc-dogs dont have souls this is not open for debate
*cc-catholic dogs go to heaven presbyterian dogs can talk to their pastor
*pc-converting to catholocism does not magically grant your dog a soul
*cc-free dog souls with conversion
*pc-dogs are animals there aren't any rocks in heaven either
*cc-all rocks go to heaven

"Because i pissed in its ear and it didnt move," answered the child innocently. "You did WHAT?!!" the teacher exclaimed in surprise. "You know," explained the boy, "i leaned over and went 'Pssst!' and it didnt move.""
lol that amused me =P
