YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when…

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when…

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven’t played Solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
: )

12 You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t#9 on this list

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Have a great day!

Someone sent this to me and I thought I’d share it with you.

Me: A Procrastinator’s Introduction

Our Pet Camelion

Here is a true procratinator’s introduction, actually I usually get right on things but if I let them slide I never get to them but here I am. I joined on november 13 so you can see how this is taking me a while. I am Canadian and have two Canadian parents who moved to Jordan in 1978. I was born in 1981 in the UAE where they had moved since. which makes me 26. here is at least the story of my travels. Sorry my grammer and spelling is going to be bad.

Well I was born in the UAE then went back to Canada for a few months then went to Jordan for a year then moved to Yemen till I was almost 6 then moved to Saskachwan where I broke my arm and we had a house fire and lost nearly everything a little while after Chrsitmas then We lived in Hamilton till i was 12 then we moved back to Jordan and I was there till I was 17 then I went back to Saskachwan to like with relatives to finnish school then did a year at Bible School then went abck to Jordan with my family for 2 more years then moved back to Saskachwan for 2 more year Bible School then moved to BC and have been here 3 years.

Food Favorites

I was wondering what people’s favorite foods are?  I really like cooking and trying different recipes…I can usually find recipes online but I never know what to make.  So I want your favorites from all over the world so I can try to make them.

Proverbs from Around the World

So I was reading a book on Arab proverbs we have here and thought it would be cool to have a post about proverbs from other languages. So here are a few Arab proverbs to get it started. Law du a’al-kalb yastajab, kan bitishti al-dunya izan.

If the dog’s prayers were answered, the skies would rain bones.

English equivalent- If wished were horses, beggars would ride.

Illi yakul ‘ala dirsu yinfa’ nafsu

He who chews with his own teeth benefits himself

english equivalent- God helps those who help themselves.

kull bayt wa fishi balu’a

Every house has its sewers

Equivalent- There is a black sheep in every flock

‘Abu ‘l-ward, qulu khaddu ahmar

They criticised the rose, tehy said its cheek was red

equivalent- you find fault with a fat goose

I’ll post some more latter maybe.

Kaleidoscope

 

My life is a Kaleidoscope of colours swirling; people, places, cultures, mixing together mingling with the pain the wretches at my soul as life changes, sending me into a spinning vat of emotions. I am ripped apart leaving pieces behind and clinging to the hope that tomorrow will be better than today. The colours and shapes combine to make a picture that bends and shapes the world around me. I am caught up in the display of a million particles changing my perspective bringing joy , hope and laughter to my ever-changing world, amidst the ruins of lives left behind. I am caught up in the dance, moving here and there pausing for a moment only to move on again in a direction unforeseen. The colours of my world change with every movement bringing together the aspects of my past with the reality of the present and just as I begin to enjoy the picture, change: my enemy, my rival, my companion, and friend. The colors are moving again, dancing across the screen of my life bringing hope, joy, laughter and pain. My life is a kaleidoscope of colours; people, places, cultures, swirling together, and I wouldn’t change it for anything

Julie Gibson ( Nov. 13, 2007)

This is not really a story, but it is in a way the story of my life.  The story of change.
