Man in the Box: Facebook Abuse

2009-11-06T16:18:00.003-05:00

Man in the Box is a crass, obnoxious guy that tells everyone at his office...exactly how he feels ALL the TIME!

This is hilarious because I'm sure he tells his coworkers some stuff that YOU WISH YOU HAD THE GUTS TO TELL YOURS!

Number One Reason Everyone Should Use Caution When Posting Pictures on the Internet

2009-10-15T09:13:00.003-04:00

What is the number reason everyone should use caution when posting pictures on the internet?

There are some people that have too much time on their hands! They may see something you don't and decide to make a video like this one.

Ok. I'll admit, it's hilarious...

This week, my car broke down, my son broke my platform bed, my fridge stopped working and I had to throw all the food out. At 2am this morning, I was STILL doing laundry when the water stopped flowing. I went down to the basement to find 3 inches of water. My water heater broke. Even though it has been a trying week, I made a decision to not be upset. As a matter of fact, I shared this on Twitter and said, I will be happy. Why? I still have it better than so many of my fellow human beings. I have my health, my family, a home and most importantly my faith.

Having a bad day, week, month or year?
Here's someone that can really be throwing a pity party because of his lot in life. Instead, he is an inspiration.

Will YOU Choose to be HAPPY even when things are going horribly wrong?
Choose to inspire and edify someone today...

Ever been in a rush and ended up having to wait on an ATM line behind someone that is tech challenged? Better yet, ever been behind someone that decides to be ad-venturous by attempting to use the ATM without their much needed reading glasses?

Here's a laugh for your Monday morning.

Hope it's a cheerful start to a great day!

Ever Had a Bon Qui Qui Moment?

2009-02-20T17:31:00.002-05:00

The other day. I had to take my son to Inspire in Goshen to get an audiological evaluation. He's autistic and his teachers and speech therapist felt his tone of voice was a little too loud. We didn't know if it's because of the constant noise in the home...ya think with 5 other siblings...or a hearing problem.

When I got to the office, there was a girl at the counter. Instead of letting me know she was busy and/or that the girl that was supposed to attend to me was somewhere else, she left me standing there. During that time, I watched her engage in conversation with coworkers that passed by,as well as clients.

After waiting for a little while, a woman that was angry at life came over and plopped a stack of files on her desk. She looked over at me as if I was bothering her. Miss Sunshine slid a clipboard full of papers and told me "Fill This Out!"

This maven of customer service, would abruptly turn around and start conversations with others, answer the phone and act as if I was invisible. Even after she asked me for info! I'm a hot blooded Latina. It took all my strength to not lose my temper. Let's just say, "I didn't want sakurity" to be called on me. She reminded me of why I don't miss the NYC DMV!

My son showed me this video and it brought it all back.

And the Lesson Learned? Don't Stand on a Table!

2008-12-11T12:00:00.001-05:00

My kids found this on youtube. What was this girl thinking? I felt really bad for the girl, but at the same time...I couldn't stop laughing. I know, BAD MOMMMY!

Anyway, they sent it to my sister who really had a laugh. Our aunt was living with her. One of the lights went out in the kitchen and guess what she did. Yup, instead of getting a ladder...she stood on the table, which broke in pieces under her weight. Ya think????

Proof that some people lack common sense. Unfortunately, they give the rest of us a youtube video to email and a ton of laughs...

This morning, I was telling my son about a hunter that got hunted a few years back. LOL! Anyone remember the video of a deer attacking a hunter? Well, I found it and had to post it for those of you that missed it.

Incredible, the hunter says some people do stupid things, what he did was stupid. However, he says he would do it again...

This is What Happens When You Never Give Up!

2008-11-21T17:26:00.002-05:00

One of the most important things I've taught my children is to never give up. I'm very persistent and tenacious. My children are very much like me. They enjoy beating the odds. They are very competitive and always get up when they fall down. They believe, you'll never know if you don't try. So when my daughter The Diva said, "I want to meet The Jonas Brothers". Guess what I said? I said "OK!" The hyperlink will take you to her adventures with The Jonas Brothers.

SpiritQuest on Twitter sent me this inspirational video by accident. Thank you soo much. It is very inspiring. Of course, I want to share it with all of you.

Just remember, no matter what you are going through...NEVER GIVE UP!

As a parent and aunt of kids diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, bi-polar and autism, I can see the humor in this parody. I've had conversations with family members and close friends that are teachers and they admitted they can immediately detect when a student has skipped their meds. Fred Figglehorn is the story of a 6year old little boy that has anger issues, lives with an alcoholic mom and is often left home unattended. When his mom leaves him unattended, he makes videos and puts them on youtube.com Don't worry, he's not really 6. :)

Five Things You Should Consider Before Wearing a Sexy Halloween Costume

2008-06-07T10:54:00.010-04:00

Many people search relentlessly for just the right Halloween costume. Childrens Costumes are always challenging especially when you have a child that wants to be a character that's hard to find. There is an online store called HalloweenAdventure that offers Adult Halloween Costumes, pet costumes and infamous Sexy Costumes. (They also have over 10,000 items in stock that will definitely make your party a hit.) Before purchasing a sexy costume, there are a few rules that should be considered. You don't want to be remembered for "the year you wore THAT inappropriate sexy costume on Halloween".

Five Things You Should Consider Before Wearing a Sexy Halloween Costume
1. Are you old enough? Why would that be an issue?
(This is a true story about a couple of girls in my kids' school). They are between the ages of 13-16. They purchased Halloween costumes with their parents. Then they purchased costumes on their own. Guess which one they wore to school? Yup, and to make matters worse...they came out smack in the middle of the yearbook. In a sexy adult costume! I'm sure a few girls are going to be grounded soon..
2. Are you too old?
Wear a costume that is age appropriate. No one wants to see a 70 year old genie.
3. Be sure that it is appropriate for your body shape!
Does everyone really need to see the woman that is 100 lbs overweight in a sexy french maid costume. Keep it in your bedroom!
4. Where are you going?
Do you really want to take your kids trick or treating while you're wearing a sexy Gothic Vampire costume? Don't embarass yourself or your kids.
5. Consider the temperature of your environment.
Do you really want to wear an outfit in a place that may be too cold? Consider the consequences.

For those of you that are wondering about the costumes pictured, they can be found at HalloweenAdventure.com . Pretty cool, huh? Visit the site for one stop shopping. You'll find a large variety of unique party supplies. :)

Live in the Moment

2008-03-28T11:34:00.002-04:00

This is easier said than done. How many times are you walking, driving, at a meeting, in the company of your kids or loved one all the time thinking of something else? You may be physically there, but you're not mentally or emotionally present. Worries of your finances, work or health can be robbing you of your life.

Live in the moment.

Laugh as much as you can. Enjoy the song of rustling leaves, linger in the warm rays of the sun and record in your mind the laughter of your child(ren). Seize the moment to let them know who much they mean, how much you love them.

Tomorrow is promised to no one.

How to Send Flowers to Your Loved Ones in the Philippines

2008-03-26T22:40:00.002-04:00

Last Mother's Day, I learned a hard lesson. I made an assumption that ruined my plans. I had planned to send my mother flowers. Since I decided I was going to send her flowers I didn't make alternate plans. There was a big problem. She lives in Puerto Rico and none of the florists online delivered there. I assumed that because most companies deliver there, they would to. For those of you that are not aware, Puerto Rico is a commonwealth.

I'm sure people in the US have enocuntered the same problem when they've wanted to send flowers to philippines. Fortunately, there is an online florist that can help you send gifts to the philippines. Island Rose offers bouquets, wreaths, gifts and much more! They are currently offering a 50% discount on Belgian chocolates with a minimum purchase of a dozen roses!

Don't want to send flowers? Perhaps the recipient is allergic to flowers! Now what? Island Rose offers philippine gifts like spa products, Belgian chocolates, personal journal products and more. Bookmark the site for easy access in the future. They accept all major credit cards as well as alternative payment methods.

Good luck!

A One Stop Insurance Agency in the UK

2008-03-06T20:46:00.004-05:00

Insurance is an important financial tool. The truth is no one should be under insured. Why? Not being properly insured can be a leak in your finances. Let me share a few of my experiences. Several years ago, my driveway wasn't paved. It is very long and was covered with gravel. One day, a pebble bounced off the driveway and chipped the windshield. After making a few calls, I found out that my insurance didn't cover it. I was never informed of the extra glass coverage available. The windshiled cost me $250.00.

On another ocassion, I was driving a Ford Windstar. I stopped at a stop sign and my front wheels disconnected from the rest of the car. That was a devastating blow to my finances. First I had to pay for a tow truck. Second, I had to pay for a car rental. My insurance had the option of getting car rental for emergency purposes for an extra $20.00 more. I had never been informed of this, so the extra expense came out of my pocket. A total of $900.00 for the rental of a minivan for a total of 3 weeks.

Shopping for insurance is something I usually dread. Several years ago, I found an insurance agency I was really happy with. Unfortunately, I was told that a person can't have insurance with one particular company after a certain amount of years. My insurance agent changed my insurance to a new carrier. I was not happy with their service either. Last July, I changed my insurance again. I used a popular site site that gives you a free quote in minutes. I finally found the perfect match. If you live in the UK, you don't have to go through all of the drama I experienced.

AutoNetInurance has a site that fulfills all your insurance needs. What do I mean? This company has a site that offers insurance for your home, car, bike, pet and even travel! Best of all, you can visit their site for a quick online quote. No surprises! Just remember, plan for the unexpected. Towing fees, Car rental fees and unexpected repairs (cracked windshields) can drain your funds very quickly.

Remember, if you're in the UK and you're looking for Cheap Car Insurance visit AutoNetInurance.

Is this a Parody of One of Zoolander's Characters?

2008-03-04T20:20:00.005-05:00

YouTube is a great place to find videos to share with your friends and family. Smiles and laughter are contagious. I came across this video and I can't figure out if this a real magician or a parody. Watch the video and then tell me what you think about it. Here's my question. Does anyone else think the "hippie" guy in the car is the same character Owen Wilson played in Zoolander. He's just too dramatic. I really can't believe this is real.

This has to be a parody...right?

Pay Attention to the Red Flags!

2007-12-30T19:34:00.000-05:00

The other day, I was at the bank. There was a girl standing on line, talking on her cell. This girl was loud and irate (and rightfully so). Isn't that the worst type of cellphone caller. To make matters worse, she made a fool out of herself. Here's how it went down.

She was telling someone how her boyfriend disappeared before Christmas. He just disappeared. Now this phone call took place on the Friday after Christmas which is December 28, 2007. She was irrationally explaining how he called her at 2am on Friday...as if nothing happened.* When she started asking him where he was and why he hadn't returned her calls, he got angry. He told her he was fine and he was calling her at that moment. He didn't want all the drama and didn't want her to carry on.** When she asked him if he was cheating on her, he said SHE was his girlfriend.*** Then she asked him when she would see him and her told her he had made plans with his friends.**** She asked why he couldn't break his plans to attend a football game and he said he wasn't going to diss his friends.***** She told him, "Oh, but you can diss me and break plans with me." This angered him, and he told her he wasn't going to argue with her and that was it.******

Red Flag #1
1. The guy disappeared before the holidays.
Red Flag #2
2. He didn't take accountability for his actions.
Red Flag #3
3. He didn't say he was cheating, he affirmed that she was his girlfriend. That doesn't confirm that she is the only one!
Red Flag#4
4. He called her to keep her on standby, but he's still keeping the relationship on his TERMS. Which is this: he will see her when he feels like it.
Red Flag#5
5. His "friends" were more important.
Red Flag#6
6. He never admits or denies anything and turns the tables on her. Classic move of a playa!

I'm sure you're wondering what she did. Let me give you a hint. She told her friend on the phone: "My mother is mad at me for staying with him." Now this girl was an older 20 something year old, "Italian Princess" type.

What was she thinking?

Obviously, she isn't. I was too embaraseed for her, to even look at her. When she went to the teller window, I couldn't even look in her direction. I only saw her as I walked away.

Here's my Advice
Girl, next time you need to vent....do it in private. Everyone was appalled and you weren't amusing. It was like watching a train wreck. Well, in this case...hearing one. Oh and dump HIM!

I hope someone talks some sense into this girl. I guess eventually she'll dump him...

GPS: Never Get Lost Again!

2007-10-25T14:32:00.000-04:00

Traveling to unknown places has become the norm in my household. The specialists that my autistic son has to see are never anywhere near my home. Fortunately, I don't mind driving or getting lost. Getting lost is a given. Before I leave to go anywhere, I print up directions from randncally.com and mapquest.com. Am I successful in getting there? Yes. Do I get lost? Yes, often. Both sites are great, but often new developments are constructed and they don't even come up on those maps. There is something that can help in this type of situation.

What could prevent you from getting lost?
A GPS device. Unfortunately, I can't afford one at the moment. There are many types of GPS devices in many different price ranges. Visit Buy.com for more details...
