When I visited my friend in Michigan we always went to the garage sale every Friday. One reasons I like going to a garage sale is that I can buy the stuff for a very low price, I can also make a deal to the owner to make the prices more lesser. I knew some of their stuff are old which they don't need anymore that's why they sale them. See! how cheap I am... so much for that I found a mask for Halloween and still looks new and it was only two bucks. I though it was cute so my friend took a picture of me wearing the mask. If I could bring the mask with me I wouldn't hesitate to buy it unfortunately my baggage was full loaded. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0gAYLHaiMMc/StVA8u_GEYI/AAAAAAAABug/ddMwSfCickw/s1600-h/me+for+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0gAYLHaiMMc/StVA8u_GEYI/AAAAAAAABug/ddMwSfCickw/s320/me+for+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392287540995035522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/735082250339936548-3602589058042942244?l=www.cherrylerick.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~4/mbBHaBJQzVE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-13T23:31:54.125-04:00</app:edited><media:thumbnail url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0gAYLHaiMMc/StVA8u_GEYI/AAAAAAAABug/ddMwSfCickw/s72-c/me+for+2.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.cherrylerick.com/2009/10/garage-sale.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Fastest way to get ahead in the Sales industry</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~3/tJbD5Tw3758/fastest-way-to-get-ahead-in-sales.html</link><author>smith.cherryl34@yahoo.com (Cherryl)</author><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:18:51 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735082250339936548.post-627222627747302559</guid><description>Looking for a job on these days it’s kind of a daunting task especially the economy is not doing well. But it depends on the job you are looking for as well as the location. Today, I did a research online and look for a best &lt;a href="http://www.SalesHeads.com/"&gt;Sales Jobs&lt;/a&gt; site where you can post your resume and even finding jobs that suits you.  As I was browsing various sites today, I ran across the site called SalesHeads.com which is known as the fastest way to get ahead in the Sales industry. The best part I really like about on their site is that they also offer a career community for the country’s leading Sales professionals to connect with employers, set up job alerts, and they never miss an opportunity to advance your career.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/735082250339936548-627222627747302559?l=www.cherrylerick.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~4/tJbD5Tw3758" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-13T22:18:51.892-04:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.cherrylerick.com/2009/10/fastest-way-to-get-ahead-in-sales.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Sunday School Lesson</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~3/Q_DgPFhm2zs/sunday-school-lesson.html</link><author>smith.cherryl34@yahoo.com (Cherryl)</author><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:11:55 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735082250339936548.post-8327160490837983679</guid><description>Little Janice was not the best student in Sunday school. Usually she slept through class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, “Tell me Janice, who created the universe?” When Janice didn’t stir, little Johnny, a boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear.&lt;br /&gt;“God Almighty!” shouted Janice and the teacher said, “Very good” and Janice fell back asleep.&lt;br /&gt;A while later the teacher asked Janice, “Who is our Lord and Saviour.” But, Janice didn’t even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again.&lt;br /&gt;“Jesus Christ!” shouted Janice and the teacher said, “Very good,” and Janice fell back asleep.&lt;br /&gt;Then the teacher asked Janice a third question. “What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?” and again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin.&lt;br /&gt;This time Janice jumped up and shouted, “If you stick me with that thing one more time, I’ll break it in half and stick it up your ass!”&lt;br /&gt;… the teacher fainted!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/735082250339936548-8327160490837983679?l=www.cherrylerick.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~4/Q_DgPFhm2zs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-10-13T22:11:55.158-04:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.cherrylerick.com/2009/10/sunday-school-lesson.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>It's been for a while...</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~3/X9Z8sWLBZFo/its-been-for-while.html</link><author>smith.cherryl34@yahoo.com (Cherryl)</author><pubDate>Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:55:38 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735082250339936548.post-8586145325733633355</guid><description>Woahhh!

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.&lt;br /&gt;The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. &lt;br /&gt;Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of the Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably wasn't the same elephant. This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/735082250339936548-4778424510004735107?l=www.cherrylerick.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~4/VN-GOsNaz5Q" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-19T18:20:38.126-04:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.cherrylerick.com/2009/06/quite-story-my-kind-of-story-enjoy.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Wilmington NC real estate</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~3/OLSN2DuBSws/wilmington-nc-real-estate.html</link><author>smith.cherryl34@yahoo.com (Cherryl)</author><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:59:44 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735082250339936548.post-5119820487188480274</guid><description>Are you moving out of the state and looking for a seacoast property?

Cool drinks, good friends, and a warm summer breeze off the Atlantic are all you need to be completely content. You may not realize your full potential until you are a bit older, but you know for sure that if you put your mind to it, you can do absolutely anything. When obstacles stand in your way, you tactfully, creatively, and successfully overcome them. You are extremely adventurous and daring, but grounded all the same. Your family means the world to you, and when you are done exploring all the opportunities the world has to offer, you know that home is where the heart is.

His present work right now is in a bigger city away from our property and renting an apartment close by his work is an ideal thing to do. On this city there were plenty of apartments to choose from but most of them are old buildings which was construction way back then and was infested with asbestos. The problem with &lt;a href="http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/"&gt;mesothelioma&lt;/a&gt; can be triggered if an asbestos insulated building's ceiling will began to crumble and release asbestos particles into the air which has a cancer causing material.  We're glad after looking for apartment we found a nice one which is almost brand new and free of asbestos. Now we are enjoying to live there but once in a while we go to our other house to visit and check on things.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/735082250339936548-7118338648100004989?l=www.cherrylerick.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~4/qSnikJDa7ps" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-11T21:01:03.877-04:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.cherrylerick.com/2009/06/mesothelioma.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>My hot pudge</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~3/pshQl7gsV78/my-hot-pudge.html</link><author>smith.cherryl34@yahoo.com (Cherryl)</author><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:53:28 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735082250339936548.post-9135374052283480653</guid><description>On our way back to Virginia hubby and I dropped by at his favorites ice cream shop somewhere around in Somerset PA.

About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids,&lt;br /&gt;Yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. As I had  been instructed, I said pleasantly, 'Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?' The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, 'Hell no, they ain't  twins. The oldest one's 9, and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?'So I replied, 'I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am, I just couldn't believe someone slept with you twice.

If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.&lt;br /&gt;Seriously..&lt;br /&gt;Please read:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;STROKE IDENTIFICATION:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RECOGNIZING A STROKE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S *Ask the individual to SMILE.&lt;br /&gt;T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)&lt;br /&gt;(i.e. It is sunny out today.)&lt;br /&gt;R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediatelyand describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/735082250339936548-7428646141891364993?l=www.cherrylerick.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ExcitingStuff/~4/DtmF-RgWvmY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-05-05T22:48:04.806-04:00</app:edited><media:thumbnail url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0gAYLHaiMMc/SgD6FmTscwI/AAAAAAAABtQ/Y4Hv7Fw5ZI0/s72-c/cb.htm" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.cherrylerick.com/2009/05/information-everyone-should-know.html</feedburner:origLink></item><media:credit role="author">Cherryl</media:credit><media:rating>nonadult</media:rating><media:description type="plain">Exciting stuff</media:description></channel></rss>
