THANKYOU TO MINTI

by lexiwComment Published at 03:5703:579 comments9 comments139 Visits139 VisitsReport

First is crystalmoon.

This woman has been there for me through so much since we found each other through Minti. She is my BEST friend in the whole world. She and I have a connection that I have not had with any other friend ever. I used to think all these people who met and made friends or started realtionships online were just being completely silly. I didn't believe that you could find true friendship on the internet with a complete stranger.

Well I have been prooved WRONG very wrong. I have found some very true friends through Minti and I find I am still making new frinds and getting to know some wonderful people like Hermy. If you go see this beautiful womans Blog you will see the three amigos which made me cry tears of joy to know that I have friends as special as her and Crystal.

Then there is my dear sweet friend Janice who has helped me to see that finding true friends can be hard and it is hard to find out that someone is not the friend you thought they were but that it is ok because as long as you have true friends then all is as it should be, and I know I have true friends.

I even found a sister in beautiful mummycristlyn so I have more neices and a nephew.

I have met Atacj05 on here and she is a beautiful person with a beautiful family who I get the pleasure of having coffee with every week and her Son is my Daughters boyfriend. LOL

There are so many other people I have met through here who I class as very good friends some I only have the chance of communicating by phone atm. I have alot to be thankful to Minti for and a comment that was just made in my blog by llmunchkin (another special person I have met on here ) made me realise that Minti can be a really great place and a life saver for many.

I think the founders of minti deserve a huge

For creating such a great place for us all to find each other

PARENT - Job Description

This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way,
I don't believe any of us would have done it!!!!
POSITION:
Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop


JOB DESCRIPTION
:

Long term, team players needed, for challenging
permanent work in an,
Often chaotic environment.
Candidates must possess excellent communication
and organizational skills and be willing to work
variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends
and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required, including trips to
primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES
:

The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,
until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina of a
pack mule
and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat
in case, this time, the screams from
the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges,
such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets
and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and
coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings
for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute,
an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a
half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for
the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and
janitorial work throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION:

None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills,
so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
:

None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION
:

Get this!   You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because
of the assumption that college will help them
become financially independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that
you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS
:

While no health or dental insurance, no pension,
no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and
no stock options are offered;
this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth
and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.


Forward this on to all the
PARENTS you know, in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis,
letting them know they are appreciated
for the fabulous job they do...
or forward with love
to anyone thinking of applying for the job.

Bored with childish behaviour.

by lexiwComment Published at 00:4100:418 comments8 comments394 Visits394 VisitsReport

It really is pathetic when people can not get over the fact that they are not liked by someone. If someone does not like me then I feel that is fine I won't waste my energy. I have noticed lately that some people just can not handle not being liked by someone. Grow up and get over it my god what sort of examples are these sorts of people setting for their children.

The behaviour I have seen is like watching high school children being vindictive and silly. Following people all over the place to places that would not be normal places for anyone to go. It makes me so sad that there are petty vindictive people out there who are meant to be adults.  

Life is far to short to worry about wheteher or not you are liked by someone. My family and true friends are what is important to me and petty games are boring to me. Pathetic childish behaviour.

I have recently been a part of something so wonderful that it has really changed my view on many things. I am learning something new everyday about myself and the worls around me. My spiritual self is becomming stronger and I feel empowered and more at peace with everything I experience and everything I learn.  I think spirituality is such a wonderful thing and Friends (true Friends) make it even better.

I hope everybody one day experiences their own spirituality as it truly is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
