Respect

It is sad to say there are plenty of people who have a lack of respect for others. Weather it's an adult, co-worker, friend, authority, or for themselves. If people could have some respect this world would be a different place. So I figured I would REMIND everyone what this word means!

The definition of RESPECT:

1. a particular, detail, or point.
2. relation of reference: inquiries with respect of a route.
3. esteem for or esteem of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability: I have great respect for her judgement.
4. deference to a right, privilege, privileged position, or someone or something considered to have certain rights or privileges: show respect for the flag, respect the elderly.

QUOTES:

Treat others the way you want to be treated, because what goes around comes around. --Unknown
Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners. --Laurence Sterne
Respect yourself if you would have others respect you! --Baltasar Gracian

4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some of THE RULES.

All out of Ideas so I googled some more

I just want to start off by saying I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Now that I am older (22 is still young but its a long ways from being 8) holidays aren't as exciting as they use to be and it sucks!!! Every since I was about thirteen up until I moved out, my mom would wake me up early on Thanksgiving to get me to help her cook.....or should I say, make deviled eggs and clean up after her while she does the major cooking. Now she calls me real early to make sure I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. This year, I was way ahead of her. She called me around 10 am and I was sleeping, and she was surprised to hear I was already finished the deviled eggs.
Surprisingly enough, I ran out of things to talk about. I could sit here and talk junk on people, but that wouldn't be very nice, and I am too afraid they would read it...I am a CHICKEN! So, I googled "things to blog about" I ran across a few ideas, then I came across this one website that gave me AWESOME ideas. I hope I can keep you entertained and be prepared, there is no telling what you will read. I may add a few of my own ideas.
TOPIC #1
HOW I USE FACEBOOK- I use facebook to stay in touch with people, be nosy and play that corny farmville game. Most of the people on facebook, I don't talk to on a daily basis. I just want to know what they are up too. So, basically what I am trying to say is, I don't have a life, and if you don't want others to know your business don't put it on the internet. I don't even know why I started to play that farmville game, I am defiantly not the farming type. It is addictive, and its not like I am doing the actual thing...I just hit a few buttons and its done....It keeps me busy, out of trouble, and also keeps me quite. You probably have noticed I am on the internet a lot, but most of the time, I am just logged in but I am doing something else. I'll just come check in ever few minuets.
TOPIC #2
SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY IT- (I would like to pre-apologize for anything I say on this topic, but someone has to say it) I know I have blogged on this before, but what is up will all of these "dumb" people in this world, and I don't mean all of the ditzy people. I just don't understand how people don't think about their future, they are just all caught up with right now. Like, I don't mean someone being my age worrying about things that will happen when they are 70. I mean you should think about the consequences to all of your actions. I mean just sit back and think....Hmmmm.....If I have several alcoholic beverages I may get drunk, and I will probably have a hang over tomorrow, which means, I will feel sick. If I use heroine once, I may get addicted and spend all of my money on it and loose everything I have. Oh, well, if I have unprotected sex, I may get pregnant, and I can barely cover my bills now, What am I going to do? What you SHOULD HAVE DONE is think before you act. Another topic that goes hand and hand with this, I think, is people you use other people for money or a free ride for something....I am not trying to pin point one person, but your seriously people, take care of yourself! Get a job and think of the reasons why you are using someone. Is it because your lazy? Is it because you have gotten yourself in so much crap, you need someone to bail you out? You should have thought about it. You've made your bed, now lay in it.


Hope you enjoyed my blog!!

Self Improvement

When I think of myself, I like to think of myself as a nice person, and I try not to be mean to people. If I have hurt your feelings, I am truly sorry, and if this apology isn't good enough for you, let me know and I will apologize to your face. I do realize I am not perfect and I never will be. I do not think I am better than anyone else, but I will say I have made better choices than some people. I will admit that some of the choices I have made have been the wrong choice, but I can't blame anyone but myself. No one made me make the choices I made. All I could do was simply learn from my mistakes. I do have a problem with people who don't own up to their mistakes. I know I have been guilty of it a few times. If you did something wrong admit to it, don't try to lie about it or blame someone else. That just makes yourself look bad. I am sure everyone is guilty of doing it. Some just do it more than others. Every once in a while I have to just sit back and analyze my own life and think about my life and what I need to change and what I need to improve on, and if you have any advice, bring it on baby!! I am ready!!! I want to hear what you have to say. There is always room for improvement. Another thing that makes you very "uncool" is lying. If you ask for someone's opinion, please tell the truth, the whole truth, and noting but the truth!!!! (I've never been in court) No one can help you if you can't help yourself. It will also make you look real bad if the person you lied to finds out that you lied. Another thing that is annoying is people USING OTHER PEOPLE. If someone is trying to help you, you better thank them and your lucky stars that they want to help. Don't take someones kindness for granted. Also, if someone is trying to help you and they "correct" you on something you did wrong don't get mad at them for saying something. You probably shouldn't lie to them either. Everyone has faults, no one is perfect, and there is always room for improvement is your life. I guess all I am trying to say is have try to keep a positive attitude about your life and thank God for every day that you have, because tomorrow isn't guaranteed. We all know someone who died too young and that is proof that tomorrow is not promised to us. Be thankful for what you have, even if it is not much, be thankful you have your life, health, family and friends.

RESURRECTION MARY

(THIS PICTURE IS FAKE BUT GOES WITH THE STORY)

Although stories of "vanishing hitchhikers" in Chicago date back to the horse and buggy days, Mary’s tale begins in the 1930’s. It was around this time that drivers along Archer Avenue started reporting strange encounters with a young woman in a white dress. She always appeared to be real, until she would inexplicably vanish. The reports of this girl began in the middle 1930’s and started when motorists passing by Resurrection Cemetery began claiming that a young woman was attempting to jump onto the running boards of their automobiles. Not long after, the woman became more mysterious, and much more alluring. The strange encounters began to move further away from the graveyard and closer to the O Henry Ballroom, which is now known as the Willowbrook. She was now reported on the nearby roadway and sometimes, inside of the ballroom itself. On many occasions, young men would meet a girl at the ballroom, dance with her and then offer her a ride home at the end of the evening. She would always accept and offer vague directions that would lead north on Archer Avenue. When the car would reach the gates of Resurrection Cemetery, the young woman would always vanish.More common were the claims of motorists who would see the girl walking along the road. They would offer her a ride and then witness her vanishing from their car. These drivers could describe the girl in detail and nearly every single description precisely matched the previous accounts. The girl was said to have light blond hair, blue eyes and was wearing a white party dress. Some more attentive drivers would sometimes add that she wore a thin shawl, or dancing shoes, and that she had a small clutch purse. Others had even more harrowing experiences. Rather than having the girl vanish for their car, they claimed to actually run her down in the street. They claimed to see a woman in a white dress bolt in front of their car near the cemetery and would actually describe the sickening thud as she was struck by the front of the car. When they stopped to go to her aid, she would be gone. Some even said that the automobile passed directly through the girl. At that point, she would turn and disappear through the cemetery gates. Bewildered and shaken drivers began to appear almost routinely in nearby businesses and even at the nearby Justice, Illinois police station. They told strange and frightening stories and sometimes they were believed and sometimes they weren’t. Regardless, they created an even greater legend of the vanishing girl, who would go on to become Resurrection Mary.

But who is this young woman, or at least who was she when she was alive? Most researchers agree that the most accurate version of the story concerns a young girl who was killed while hitchhiking down Archer Avenue in the early 1930’s. Apparently, she had spent the evening dancing with a boyfriend at the O Henry Ballroom. At some point, they got into an argument and Mary (as she has come to be called) stormed out of the place. Even though it was a cold winter’s night, she thought, she would rather face a cold walk home than another minute with her boorish lover. She left the ballroom and started walking up Archer Avenue. She had not gotten very far when she was struck and killed by a passing automobile. The driver fled the scene and Mary was left there to die. Her grieving parents buried her in Resurrection Cemetery, wearing a white dress and her dancing shoes. Since that time, her spirit has been seen along Archer Avenue, perhaps trying to return to her grave after one last night among the living. It has never been known just who the earthly counterpart of Mary might have been. Over the years, there have been many sightings and encounters with the ghost alleged to be “Resurrection Mary”. Dozens of young men have told of picking up the same girl, or meeting her at the ballroom, only to have her disappear from their car. Perhaps the most believableencounter with Mary took place in 1939 and involved a young man named Jerry Palus. The majority of the reports seem to come from the cold winter months, like the account passed on by a cab driver. He picked up a girl who was walking along Archer Avenue one night in 1941. It was very cold outside, but she was not wearing a coat. She jumped into the cab and told him that she needed toget home very quickly. She directed him along Archer Avenue and a few minutes later, he looked back and she was gone. He realized that he was passing in front of the cemetery when she disappeared. The stories continued but perhaps the strangest account of Mary was the one that occurred on the night of August 10, 1976. This event has remained so bizarre after all this time because on this occasion, Mary did not just appear as a passing spirit. It was on this night that she left evidence behind!


A driver was passing by the cemetery around 10:30 that night when he happened to see a girl standing on the other side of the gates. He said that when he saw her, she was wearing a white dress and grasping the iron bars of the gate. The driver was considerate enough to stop down the street at the Justice police station and alert them to the fact that someone had been accidentally locked in the cemetery at closing time. An officer responded to the call but when he arrived there was no one there. The graveyard was dark and deserted and there was no sign of any girl.

But his inspection of the gates, where the girl had been seen standing, did reveal something. The revelation chilled him to the bone! He found that two of the bars in the gate had been pulled apart and bent at sharp angles. To make things worse, at the points on the green-colored bronze where they had been pried apart were blackened scorch marks. Within these marks was what looked to be skin texture and handprints that had been seared into the metal with incredible heat.

The marks of the small hands made big news and curiosity-seekers came from all over the area to see them. In an effort to discourage the crowds, cemetery officials attempted to remove the marks with a blowtorch, making them look even worse. Finally, they cut the bars off and installed a wire fence until the two bars could be straightened or replaced.

Salon Etiquette


Hey guys!! How is everyone doing?? Hope everyone is doing great! Today I figured I would write on salon etiquette . You would be suprised at how some people act (or let their kids act) in a salon.

  • Most salons have a 24 hour cancellation policy, so if you can't make it to your appointment let your stylist know as soon as possible, because they have that spot reserved for YOU and if you can't make it then they can put someone in your spot. I know at the salon I work at if you repeatedly cancel your appointment, and not give enough notice they will make you pay before you come in.
  • Be at least 15 min. early so you and your stylist can be ready at the time of your appointment. Sometimes if you are late then your stylist wont take you. I don't mean like 5 min. late I mean like 15 min. or more. Plus if you are early the you wont be messing up someone elses appointment!
  • Explain in detail what kind of look you want! Pictures are a plus!! You and your stylist should talk about your personality, lifestyle and diffrent styling techniques! If you dont have the time to fix that shor hair style in the picture you probably shouldn't get it.
  • If your salon offers or sales products, it's most often because they are the products that are used to get your style at the salon, and it will recreate the same look at home.
  • If you are unhappy with your hair please stay calm! Sometimes it takes time to get use to your new look. After a few days you are still unhappy you should go speak to the manager/owner and they can fix it for free or at a discounted price. Every salon is diffrent.
  • Research the salon's rates before your visit. Also ask what form of payment they take. Not every salon takes debit/credit cards. Also ask your stylist when you sit down in his/her chair how much the service will be for YOUR hair, just because Suzie Q sittin next to you is getting the same service your hair could be more expensive because your hair could be longer or thicker. Some salons also let some of their stylist raise there prices because they have been there for a while, (I don't do that).
  • It is a insult to tell your stylist exactally what to do. It's one thing to tell your stylist how you want to hair cut but don't sit there and say, "you forgot this piece!" Would you want someone how to do your job?
  • It is always nice to tip your stylist considering they do not get to keep 100% of what they make. They have to go buy products and color to do your hair. A good tip is between 15%-20%.
  • Please, please, please don't use your cell phone or laptop while I am doing your hair, weather you are texting or making a phone call. That just makes my job harder!
  • Please leave your children elsewhere! I don't care how good your 8 year old is. Kids do get impaitent. They also bother other stylist when they are moving and running around. Plus if they break a chair or something else in the salon, guess who gets to pay for it.....YOU! A lot of stylist don't like it when children play with their chairs!
  • We are hairstylist, not magichians. If your hair is a hot mess we can fix it, it may take more than one visit, but we can do it.

Hope you enjoyed the blog and I hope to see you this weekend! I work Friday Saturday and Sunday!!!

Wednesdays are our military appreation day were we give you 20% off your service if you bring in your military id. (I don't work Wednesdays but there will be someone there that will take good care of you). At this point I am still doing $10 eyebrow waxes and $5 lip waxes.

Shot of Chemistry


Would you like a shot? No I don't mean a shot of liquor or jager, unfourtanetly, I mean a Redken shot from the Redken Chemistry System. This is a in salon service that is wonderful! This is a conditioning treatment that can be customized to fit your hair hair needs. A normal conditioning treatment normally last about a week or so and this treatment last 6-8 weeks! This works good for distressed hair. There are two key types of distressed hair:
  • Chemical Distress: caused by overuse of chemical services such as coloring, perming, straightening or lightening.
  • Mecinical Distressed: caused by normal wear and tare from blow-drying , curling, flat iorning, everyday brushing and wearing pony tails a lot.
There are six diffrent "shots" that can be blended for truly personalized results:

  • Extreme Shot for distressed hair, and also for when your hair is breaking.
  • Color Extend Shot Phase for color treated hair. It helps portect your hair color.
  • Clear Moisture is for normal to dry hair. This will also work well with the Clear Moisture leave in treatment.
  • All Soft is for dry and brittle hair.
  • Smooth Down is for very dry unruly hair.
  • Real Control is for dense/dry/sensitized hair.
The Redken Chemistry System cost $25 but is well worth it, especially if you really need it. I have seen people spend more than twice that much in one month getting conditioning treatments. Why should you spend $50 or more a month when you can spend $25 every 6-8 weeks. You may not even have to do it every time you get a hair cut. If you are interested in getting this done please feel free to contact me at the salon at 910-864-1111. I would love to hear from you. I would love to be your personal hair stylist. I am still offering the 50% off any service. If you are interested in getting 50% off please e-mail me at illfixyourhair05@hotmail.com, You can even use it on a chemestry shot!!! I hope to hear from you soon!!!!

XoXo,
Lindsey

Redken Hair Care Tips

Hello Everyone! Since I have told everyone about Redken and Sebastian hair products, now I will help you take care of your hair.

HAIRCOLORING TIPS-

  • Let your color reflect your personality. You choose your clothes to fit your personality, so why not do the same with your hair?
  • Choose a haircolor that enhaces your haircut.
  • Pick a color that best compliments your skin tone.
  • Create texture. Good color placement can help your hair look thicker.
  • Follow seasonal haircolor trends.
  • Use color to help you look younger by using new coloring techniques.
  • For subtle change use the color Redken Shades EQ. Even if you don't want to change your color but want shine ask your stylist to use Shades EQ clear glaze.
  • Make sure your haircolor regimen is convient for you. Talk to your stylist about how often you are comfortable with comming back to the salon to get your color done then he/she will be able to give you the best option.
  • Haircolor can bring a big or a small change, so choose the option that is right for you.
STYLING TIPS

  • Pick the right brush to style your hair. One size does not fit all!! Choose a big round brush to straighten long coarse or curly hair. A medium sized for meidum length hair and a small round brush for short hair.
  • Use a nossle or diffuser with your blow dryer. These attachments can make a world of diffrence with your hair style. A nossle directs air flow to give you a smoother blow dry. A diffuse helps curl your hair without leaving frizz.
  • Section off your hair so you can work in a neat and controlled manner.
  • Make sure your hair is 100% dry before using a flat iorn or a curling iorn otherwise it could cause damage.
  • Tuck those ends under!! When using your curling iorn make sure your hair is tucked into your curling iorn before you roll it up, otherwise you will get "fish hooks".
  • Keep your flat iorn moving. Starting and stopping and then pressing too hard can leave dents in your hair.
Hope you enjoyed my blog!! If there is something that you want me to post on or you have a question feel free to let me know!!

XoXo,
Lindsey

Sebastian Professional "Foundation"

The past two blogs had to do with Redken hair care, and I realize that everyone likes diffrent hair prodcuts weather its Redken, Sebastian, Paul Mitchell, or Biolage, so today I am going to blog about Sebastian shampoos and conditioners.

LIGHT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

This shampoo and conditioner is not very heavy. Some people with thin, fine hair have trouble with shampoo's, conditioners and styling products that will weigh you hair down, and with the light shampoo and conditioner it will simply just clense your hair.

DRECH SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

This quenches dry and frizzy hair while puting moisture back in. I know from experience this product works well, it also work well on color treated hair.

PENETRAITT SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER AND MASQUE

This product is also safe for color treated hair. It helps repair your hair by removing any stress from it. It helps strengthen any look. When you use the Penetraitt hair masque remove any excess water from your hair and saturate evenly focusing on your most damaged areas and leave on for 2-3 min. and rinse out. This is best for stressed, dull and chemically damaged hair.

FLOW PRODUCTS

Potion 9 lite- is a leave in conditioner that nourishes undernourished hair.
Potion 9- is active-oil botanicals restore hair's natrual condition, leaving hair with renued shine.

Hopefully soon, I will be able to have a blog on Sebastian styling products.....like everybody's favorite, Shaper and Shaper +!!!!!!! Hope you enjoy my blogs and if you have any questions or concerns you can contact me on Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter, or you can e-mail me at Illfixyourhair05@hotmail.com

Need a new style?

Do you need a new hair style? Would you like to get your hair done in a fun enviornment? Would you like to get your hair done for 50% off? If so then I am the person you need to see! I would love to do your hair!!! I won't be offering this for to much longer. I am not doing it to be greedy and take your money. If I was trying to be money hungry, why would I be offering 50% off? I am doing this because I want to be your personal hair stylist! I absoutely love my job and I would you be part of the reason why I love my job.
I also want to give you a little insight on my career. I started cosmetology school at Mitchells Hairstyling Academy in June of 2005 only 3 weeks after I graduated high school because I was eager to start my career. I graduated May of 2006. Shortly after I started, It got renamed to Montogmerys Hairstyling Academy and now is a Paul Mitchell School. I have worked at Scissors on Marlboro, Shear Deminsions, Smart Style and now Belk Salon and Spa. I have wanted to do hair since I was around 14 or 15 years old, with a dream of one day owning my own salon and spa!
Every one has a passion, and people are mine! I love being able to interacting with my clients to see what kind of style best fits them and their personality. People ask me all the time, "Lindsey, what is your favorite thing to do as a stylist?" It is hard for me to pick just one thing that I like, but if I had to choose one thing it would be doing "funky stuff". I really enjoy, giving someone a "funky color" and then giving them a fun haircut to go along with it. It seems to spice my job up. I do also enjoy doing the simple things to, like showing someone how to style their hair diffrently, or showing them how to hair healthy! If anyone has any questions to ask me over the internet, I would love to help you!!
If you are interested in getting your hair done half off, or have any questions, comments, or concers please e-mail me at illfixyourhair05@hotmail.com. I hope to hear from you soon!!

XoXo,
Lindsey

SOME MORE QUOTES!!

LIFE DOESN'T HURT UNTIL YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HOW MUCH THINGS HAVE CHANGED, WHO YOU'VE YOU LOST ALONG THE WAY, AND HOW MUCH OF IT WAS YOUR FAULT.

JUST WHEN YOU THINK THINGS CAN'T GET ANY WORSE, THEY DO. I'VE LEARNED THAT LIFE IS LIKE A HOUR GLASS, AND WHEN THINGS HIT ROCK BOTTEM, YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO GET TURNED AROUND AGIN.

SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO HIT THAT LOWEST POINT OF BEING SAD, THE POINT WHEN OU CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE AND YOU LOSE YOURSELF, TO FINALLY GET BACK UP ON YOUR FEET AGIN. WITHOUT FEAR, THERE WOULD BE NO ACCOMPLISHMENT, NO TESTING OF OUR LIMITATIONS.

NEVER STOP DREAMING, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING MORE!

JOKES!

FARTING ON THE BUS

You are on a crowded bus when you suddenly realize you need to pass gas. The music is really loud, so you time your "gas releases" with the beat. You let go about 5 strong and loud ones back to back. After a couple of songs, you start to feel better as you approach your stop. As you are leaving the bus, people are really staring you down, and that's when you remember: you've been listening to your iPod.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM NORTH CAROLINA IF......

1. You give directions using KFC and Waffle House as landmarks.
2. You can't imagine life without sweet tea.
3. Your 'heavy winter clothing' consists of a sweater and a London Fog with lining.
4. You get your carbs from biscuits, rolls, pancakes, and grits.
5. You own at least one t-shirt from Burt’s Surf Shop and The Sanitary Fishmarket.
6. In summer you have home-grown tomatoes with every meal.
7. You can recognize a copperhead and your heart drops when you see one.
8. You have an opinion about UNC. You either went there and loved it or you hate everyone who did. And when you think of Duke, it’s mayonnaise.
9. You sold Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a school or church fundraiser before those glazed doughnuts went global.
10. You remember watching the ACC Tournament on television at school.
11. You know it's pronounced APPALACHIAN and not "App-a-lay-shun.”
12. You can spell words such as Ocracoke, Fuquay-Varina and Chocowinity.
13. You know that barbecue is a food and not an occasion and it applies to pork, not hotdogs or hamburgers.
14. You carry jumper cables in your car.
15. You have been skinny dipping.
16. One inch of snow closes school and shuts down the city.


HOPE YOU ENJOYED!!

SOME QUOTES!!

THE MIND IS SO MULTI DIMENTIONAL AND I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL EVER COMPREHEND IT'S WORKINGS, I AM NOT SEARCHING FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE, I AM SEARCHING FOR WHAT MY LIFE MEANS TO ME; SO FAR I HAVE FOUND THAT FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE A BIG PART OF MY ANSWER, BUT BY NO MEANS AM I DONE WITH MY ANALYS.

LIFE SHOULD NOT BE A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFTELY IN A ATTRACTIVE, WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER SKID IN SIDEWAYS, CHOCLATE IN ONE HAND AND WINE IN THE OTHER BODY THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT SCREAMING, "WOOOOOHOOO WHAT A RIDE!"

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU A HUNDRED REASONS TO CRY, SHOW LIFE YOU HAVE A THOUSAND REASONS TO SMILE.


THE TRUTH IS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW. LIFE IS A CRAZY RIDE AND NOTHING IS GUARANTEED.

LIFE MOVES PRETTY FAST. IF YOU DON'T STOP AND LOOK AROUND ONCE IN A WHILE YOU COULD MISS IT. --FERRIS BULER.

THERE ARE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE YOU DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN, BUT YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT, THERE ARE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW BUT YOU HAVE TO LEARN, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT, BUT YOU HAVE TO LET GO.

WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, REMEMBER WHY YOU HELD ON FOR SO LONG IN THE FIRST PLACE.

NEVER REGRET SOMETHING THAT ONCE MADE YOU SMILE.

XOXO,
LINDSEY

SO, A BLONDE, BRUNETTE AND A RED HEAD

THIS TIME I FIGURED I WOULD POST A JOKE!!! I AM STEALING THIS JOKE FROM A GUY I WORK WITH, COREY!! THANKS FOR THE FUNNY JOKE, (AT LEAST I THINK IT'S FUNNY).

SO A BLONDE, BRUNETTE AND A RED HEAD WERE RUNNING FROM THE COPS SO THEY RAN TRHOUGH A FEILD AND RAN INTO THIS BARN. WELL, THEY HERD THE COPS WALK UP TO THE BARN SO THEY RAN INTO THE LOFT AND EACH CRAWLED INTO A SACK. THEN THE COPS CRAWLED UP THE LATTER INTO THE LOFT. THE COPS DECIDED TO KICK EACH BAG TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THEM. SO THE COP KICKED THE FIRST BAG AND THE RED HEAD SAID "MEOW, MEOW" SO HE SAID, "OH WELL IT'S JUST A CAT." THEN THE COP KICKED THE NEXT BAG AND THE BRUNETTE SAID, "WOOF, WOOF". SO THE COP SAID, "OH, WELL, IT'S JUST A DOG". SO THE COP WENT TO THE THIRD BAG AND KICKED IT AND THE BLONDE YELLED OUT, "POTATOES, POTATOES".

HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY JOKE. IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANY GOOD ONES LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL POST IT.

LEFTIES

LEFT HANDEDNESS IS THE PREFRENCE FOR THE LEFT HAND OVER THE RIGHT HAND FOR EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS WRITING. 90 TO 93 PERCENT OF THE WORLD IS LEFT HANDED. HAND ORIENTATION IS DEVELOPED IN UNBORN CHILDREN, MOST COMMONLY BY OBSERVING WHICH HAND IS PERDOMINITLY LICKED OR HELD CLOSER TO THE MOUTH. HERE ARE A FEW FACTS ABOUT LEFTIES.
  • MOST LEFTIES DRAW FIGURES FACING THE RIGHT.
  • THERE IS A HIGH TENDENCY IN TWINS FOR ONE TO BE LEFT HANDED.
  • STUDDERING AND DYSLEXIA OCCURS MORE IN TWINS.
  • LEFTIES ADJUST MORE READILY TO SEEING UNDER WATER.
  • LEFTIES EXCEL PARTICULARLY IN TENNIS, BASEBALL, SWIMMING IN FENCING.

SETTING GOALS


HERE ARE SOME TIPS THAT CAN HELP YOU SET GOALS AND ACHIEVE THEM.
  1. PICK ONE GOAL- YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS IF YOU FOCUS ON THEM ONE AT A TIME. ONCE YOUR GOAL IS ACCOMPLISHED, START ON YOUR NEXT GOAL.
  2. START SMALL AND EASY- THE BEST WAY TO SUCCEED WITH YOUR FIRST GOAL IS TO PICK SOMETHING YOU ALREADY DO. THIS WILL BUILD YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE AND HELP PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR FUTURE GOALS.
  3. SIMPLIFY- CHOOSE A SMALL SPECIFIC GOAL, OR BREAK UP A LARGE GOAL INTO SMALLER GOALS. BIG SUCCESS STARTS WITH LITTLE ONES.
  4. WRITE IT DOWN- WIRTE YOU GOAL DOWN ON BIG LETTERS AND PLACE IT WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT EVERY DAY.
  5. YOU HAVE TO WANT IT- IF YOU DON'T REALLY WANT IT YOU WON'T SUCCEED. PICK GOALS YOU WANT TO ACHEVE OR CHANGE YOU ATTITUDE SO YOU REALLY WANT IT.
  6. SCHEDULE TIME- PRIORITIZE= MAKE TIME BUT NOT DOING THINGS THAT HAVE NO VALUE. SAY NO= LEARN TO SAY NO TO PEOPLE WHO ASK YOU FOR YOUR TIME WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY. MAKE THE TIME= YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE TIME TO MAKE THE GOAL. PICK A TIME YOU WILL WORK ON YOUR GOAL.
  7. KEEP TRACK EVERY DAY- IF YOU DON'T KEEP TRACK OF YOUR DAILY PROGRESS YOU WON'T MAKE PROGRESS.
  8. BE FIRM YET FLEXABLE- TO ACHEIVE YOUR GOALS YOU HAVE TO BE FIRM WITH YOURSELF. TO BE FLEXABLE MAKE A BACK UP PLAN FOR WHEN YOU RUN ACROSS A DIFFICULT DAY.
  9. BE POSITIVE- DOUBTING YOUR THOUGHTS WILL CRUSH YOUR GOALS.
  10. PRAY ABOUT IT- CHOSING RIGHTEOUS GOALS IS WHAT THE LORD WANTS US TO DO, SO ASK FOR HELP.

TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS, WE MUST NOT ONLY ACT, BUT ALSO DREAM; NOT ONLY PLAN BUT ALSO BELEIVE.

MOTIVATION

MOTIVATION- IS THE INTERNAL CONDITION THAT ACTIVATES BEHAVIOR AND GIVES DIRECTION; ENERGIZES AND DIRECTS GOAL ORIENTED BEHAVIOR. (WWW.WIKIPEDIA.COM)
WHEN YOU WANT THINGS TO HAPPEN THE ABILITY TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF IS A CURCIAL SKILL. MOTIVATION REQUIRES A BALANCE OF COMMUNICATION, STRUCTURE AND INCENTIVES. HERE ARE TWENTY WAYS TO HELP MOTIVATE YOURSELF AND OTHERS EITHER IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE OR IN THE WORK PLACE.
  1. CONSEQUENCES- IF YOU USE THREATS IT WILL TURN PEOPLE AGINST YOU. MAKING PEOPLE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES WILL MAKE AN IMPACT. THERE IS A WAY YOU CAN TELL SOMEONE SOMETHING NICELY. IF YOU CAN'T GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER HOW WILL YOU EVER GET WHAT YOU WANT?
  2. PLEASURE- PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH PLEASURABLE REWARDS CREATES EAGER AND PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE.
  3. PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES- APPEAL TO PEOPLE'S SELFISH NATURE. GIVE THEM A OPPRATUNITY TO EARN MORE FOR THEMSELVES BY EARNING MORE FOR YOU.
  4. DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS- IF YOU WANT SPECIFIC RESULTS, GIVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS. PEOPLE TEND TO WORK BETTER WHEN THEY KNOW WHAT IS EXPECTED.
  5. SHORT AND LONG TERM GOALS- USE BOTH TO GUIDE THE ACTION PROCESS AND CREATE A OVERALL PHILOSOPHY.
  6. KINDNESS- GET PEOPLE ON YOUR SIDE AND THEY WILL WANT TO HELP YOU. TICK THEM OFF AND THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO SCREW YOU OVER!
  7. DEADLINES- MANY PEOPLE ARE MOST PRODUCTIVE BEFORE A BIG DEADLINE. THEY ALSO HAVE A HARD TIME FOCUSING WHEN A DEADLINE IS LOOMING OVERHEAD.
  8. TEAM SPIRIT- CREATE A ENVIORMENT OF CAMARADEIRE. PEOPLE WORK HARDER WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE PART OF A TEAM. THEY DON'T WANT TO LET OTHERS DOWN.
  9. RECOGNIZE ACHEVEMENTS- TRY TO MAKE A POINT TO RECOGNIZE ACHEVEMENTS ONE ON ONE AND IN GROUPS, PEOPLE WANT TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE DOING A GOOD JOB.
  10. PERSONAL STEAK- THINK ABOUT THE PERSONAL STEAK OF OTHERS. WHAT DO THEY NEED?? BY DOING THIS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM PREDOCTIVE AND HAPPY.
  11. CONCENTRATE ON OUTCOMES- NO ONE LIKES TO WORK WITHOUT SOMEONE STANDING OVER THEIR SHOULDER. MAKE WHAT YOU WANT VERY CLEAR.
  12. TRUST AND RESPECT- GIVE PEOPLE THE TRUST AND RESPECT THEY DESERVE AND THEY WILL RESPOND TO REQUEST MUCH MORE FAVORABLY.
  13. CREATE CHALLENGES- PEOPLE LIKE WHEN THEY ARE PROGRESSING TOWARDS A GOAL. GIVE THEM THE OPPRITUNITY TO FACE MORE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS AND THEY WILL BE MORE ENTHUSIASTIC.
  14. LET PEOPLE BE CREATIVE- DON'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO DO THINGS YOUR WAY. ALLOWING PEOPLE TO CREATE NEW IDEAS CREATES A MORE OPTIMISTIC ENVIORNMENT.
  15. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM- OFTEN PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT THEY ARE DOING WRONG UNTIL YOU TELL THEM. MOST PEOPLE WANT TO IMPROVE.
  16. DEMAND IMPROVEMENT- DON'T LET PEOPLE STAGNATE. EACH TIME SOMEONE ADVANCES RAISE THE BAR.
  17. MAKE IT FUN- WORK IS MORE ENJOYABLE WHEN IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE WORK. LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN IN A POSITIVE ENVIORNMENT.
  18. CREATE OPPRITUNITIES- GIVE PEOPLE THE OPPRITUNITY TO ADVANCE. LET THEM KNOW HARD WORK WILL PAY OFF.
  19. COMMUNICATION- KEEP THE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS OPEN. BY BEING AWARE OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS YOU CAN FIX THEM BEFORE THE PROBLEM GETS BIGGER.
  20. MAKE IT STIMULATING- MIX IT UP. DON'T ASK PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME TASK OVER AND OVER.

SLANG FROM THE 90'S
  • WHEN SAYING "THAT'S DA BOMB" YOU ARE SAYING SOMETHING IS GREAT. HIP HOP ARTIST KRIS KROSS RELEASED A CD IN 1993 USING THE PHRASE "DA BOMB" AS A TITLE.
  • IF YOU ARE SAYING "THAT GUY HAS A LOT OF DEAD PRESIDENTS" YOU ARE SAYING THAT GUY HAS A LOT OF MONEY.
  • WHEN YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAYING "THEY ARE GOING TO BOUNCE" THEY ARE GOING TO LEAVE. BON JOVI RELEASED A CD CALLED BOUNCE.
  • IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "THEY GANGED THOSE SNEAKERS AT THE MALL" THEN THEY ARE SAYING THEY STOLE THEM.
  • IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE ASK "WHO'S YOUR DADDY" THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE BETTER THAN YOU
  • IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "THAT MOVIE WAS FLY" THEY ARE SAYING THE MOVIE WAS GOOD.
  • IF YOU SAY, "YOU HAVE NICE BLING BLING", THEN THAT PERSON HAS SHOWY JEWELRY.
  • IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "WHATEVER" THEN THEY DON'T CARE!!!
  • IF YOU SAY, "THAT GUYS WENT POSTAL" HE ACTS PHYSCO.
  • IF YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "PHAT" THAT MEANS THAT WAS COOL!
