It has been a while since I had even remembered the website of PostSecrets.com. It is a website that you can mail in any postcard, home made or not, with your secret on it that gets posted for all to see. You see some pretty interesting, entertaining, disturbing and heartfelt secrets posted here folks, check it out sometime.

Domestic Violence

Gail — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:36:38 +0000

I got up way early this morning, my hips were hurting me and I just couldn’t get comfortable. Since Comcast took all but 8 channels away from us unless we buy one of their new digital boxes there isn’t much on in the morning except for news programs. I can’t stand watching this news any more, especially in the morning. There is way too much depressing news on, not a good way to start the day.

The only thing that I could find one other than news was Jerry Springer, which I never, ever watch. My nephew was on the Jerry Springer show a few years back and informed us on just how much it is all just a bunch on nonsense so I really don’t see the point of watching it knowing it is all fake. Besides being fake, it is all about people fighting with each other which really jerks my chain. How can they promote all of this physical violence and not expect the general public to act the same way and think that they will get away with it. In the real world when you assault someone you go to jail!

Putting Them Down Once and For All

New Year’s Resolutions have never really been my cup of tea. But this year I am diving in, head first, with the promise of putting down the smoking of cigarettes that I have been participating in for way too long. The price of tobacco products has just gotten crazy and I’m tired of paying the high prices for something that is totally unhealthy for me. Wish me luck!

Christmas Cheer

Gail — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 17:33:18 +0000

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Our plans include a short visit with family Christmas morning and then an afternoon at home cooking a nice Christmas dinner and baking some cookies. I have been baking cookies every few days for the past couple of weeks and they never last more than one night! So my vision of having a big plates of assorted cookies on Christmas is just not going to happen. But I will have some kind of cookies on a plate tonight – and then I will have to stop baking for a couple of months while we all go on diets to lose these extra 10 pounds we have gained since Thanksgiving!

A Body Wrap For Me

Gail — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 03:12:31 +0000

Something that I have always wanted to try was a body wrap. I think I’ll have to start hinting to my husband that for one of the up and coming holidays, such as my birthday, mother’s day and our anniversary, that I would really like to give these cool body wraps that you can use at home a shot and see if they can help me with the few added pounds that I have put on these past few years.

I know that a woman of my age is expected to put a few extra pounds on around the mid section, but I don’t like it one bit and would really appreciate getting back to my original weight this year and preferably before summer when I will be going out in public in my bathing suit.

List of Good Reasons to Be A Guy Today

TV

Gail — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 03:11:06 +0000

One of my favorite channels that we subscribe to with DirecTV is the Discovery Channel. I have had it on for most of the day here in the living room as I spend some time on the computer and have seen a lot of good nature shows today.

The History Channel and Animal Planet are high on my list also. I’m finding myself watching these channels more and more these days, a sign of aging I assume, sigh……

My Life

Gail — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:22:24 +0000

I told you I was self employed, I just didn’t tell you want I do. I own a small family style restaurant in the little town I live in. We serve things like Chicken and Dumplins and the dumplins are home made too. I make a mean peach cobbler too. There are no pre-made anything served in ‘Hattie’s Place’. When you sit down at one of my tables, it’s like sitting down at my table at home and that’s the way I like it. Fresh hot out of the oven biscuits are served all day long. So if you ever come across ‘Hattie’s Place’, stop in a sit a spell. You won’t leave hungry or disappointed. I guarantee that.

My Faith

Gail — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 21:20:04 +0000

I’m not a religious fanatic but I have a very strong faith in God. I know that without Him, I would have been dead and gone a long time ago. Without God, I would be in the gutter somewhere with no one to blame but myself. Without God, I wouldn’t be able to laugh or even smile today. So here’s to the big guy that I have learned to lean on and walk with my head held high knowing He’s right beside me. He gives me strength and the courage to face each and every day, good or bad.

Broken Mirror

Gail — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 16:42:47 +0000

Last night I was in the living room watching TV and I heard a loud crash from the bathroom. As there was no one in the house but me, it definitely freaked me out to hear a loud noise from the other room. I mean, images of horror movies and all.

Turns out that the mirror over the bathroom sink fell. On its own. For no reason.

It took me almost half an hour to clean up all that broken glass. I hate the idea of getting a sliver of glass in your foot. So I cleaned and then cleaned again and cleaned a third time. And each time I found more slivers of glass. Unbelievable how much glass can be generated from one mirror falling off the wall.
