Imponderable Watercooler: Teach us all by FlyVote

firsties?

edit: Squee! Firsty dance!

Teach something? Uh. Ok. Something from each of my lifetime's professions.

Books:
1. If the author's name begins with Mc or Mac, it is properly filed at the beginning of the "M" section.
2. Never shelve the Koran below waist height. It is disrespectful.

Spa Management:
1. Never apply retinoids (vitamin A creams) during the day. Sunlight robs them of their usefulness.

Furniture:
1. "Italian leather furniture" is false advertising. Almost all of the worlds' leather furniture is made in Brazil or China, where leather prices are ridiculously low and labor cheap.

There's something I like about Mav getting firsties. But I just can't put my finger on it.

Whoa. Good filing system.

I almost forgot with all the brain searching and all. RIGHT ON MAVS! It'll be a while 'til the edgyness goes away (think I'm having a fit right now), but its so worth it. I highly suggest replacing the smoking minutes for active minutes. I found myself doing laps during the week inside Wal Mart due to the crappy weather. Seeing the progress time after time really builds the self esteem. Helped I got into PB when I did. Aside from being sick the last time every set of games gets easier and more fun happens all the time.

Hugs for ya Mavs.

Thanks, NV. I've had two big reinforcements on my "I no longer smoke" quest.
1. Support from my friends online
2. The smell of my coworker when she returned from her smoke break. She walked in the office today and I nearly gagged. I thought "Sh*t, is that what I smelled like?"

*I'm going to treat myself to some new perfume!

JQ, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that woman and her filing cabinets...

GO MAVS! (Okay so I'm a Pistons fan. Our Mavs is better than Dallas' Mavs any day!)

As of the end of last month I'm nine years free of the smoke. You'll be happy about it, as you said, but never ecstatic. It just becomes a way of life not to smoke after a while. Then at some point way down the road you look back and "Damn! I did it!...I should celebrate with a smoke..." After 20 years of no cocaine, I can still taste it and miss it. Whatcha gonna do? It's kind of like staring at a gold brick from Fort Knox that in arms' reach and you could steal if you wanted to. You want it real bad, but you just don't do it. And you're okay with that.

Teach you something ...hmmmm

Ok in honor of Magda...

The first recorded European contact with Australia was in March 1606, when Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon (c.1570 - 1630) charted the west coast of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland.

Britain decided to use its new outpost as a penal colony; the First Fleet of 11 ships carried about 1500 people—half of them convicts. The fleet arrived in Sydney Harbour on 26 January 1788, and it is on this day every year that Australia Day is celebrated.

In all, about 160 000 men and women were brought to Australia as convicts from 1788 until penal transportation ended in 1868. The convicts were joined by free immigrants from the early 1790s. The wool industry and the gold rushes of the 1850s provided an impetus for free settlers to come to Australia.

Not to take away honoring Magda, but teach us something YOU learned. Convey wisdom.

It isn't easy, really. And I'll take the pressure off by saying that I'm not insisting.

And transference of wisdom is something that depends on the situation. But I'm always open to learning something.

Yep, sadly, it is. I can tell when one of the smokers have been in a room before me even after they are long gone.

I have learned that the trick to controlling student behavior is simple. All you need is to believe and act on these things

2- If you misbehave I will kick your butt from here to New Jersey.

3- If you need me I will be there

4- If you are trying, I will help you

I can't really say that knowledge would help Jonny except maybe for its deterent value. I just thought that it was interesting that the two thoughts came up almost at the same time from completely different trains of thread. (My theory in action again?)
