Cracked Pot Friends
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a
pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and
always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked
pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home
only one and a half pots of water.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and
miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to
the woman one day by the stream.
'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to
leak out all the way back to your house.'
The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your
side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'
That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower
seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you
water them.'
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to
decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty
to grace the house.'
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we
each have that make our lives together so very interesting and
rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the
good in them.
SO, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to
smell the flowers on your side of the path!

An older man, not in the best physical condition, asked the trainer in the gym, "I want to impress that beautiful girl. Which machine should I use?"
The trainer replied, "Try the ATM machine outside the gym!"

What Turns You On?
What turns you on and what turns you off...a book.
So what did you think I was talking about? grin.
For me I like a story that pulls me right into the world the author has created. I like suspense, the paranormal and romance that is strong but doesn't smother the story line.
I was reading a romantic suspense by a successful author yesterday. It had a good plot, but when the hero asked the heroine in casual conversation, "Do you know how f...able you are? I want to f you," it pretty much took me out of the scene. This is supposed to make the heroine's heart go pitter-patter? Oh please. Don't misunderstand me, there is a time and place for the f word in stories. Today its pretty much a language staple. This just wasn't one of them. Its definitely a necessity in erotica. JD Robb's Eve Dallas character uses it with regularity and it works because its exactly what this tough-edged woman would say. I have no problem with using it when it's a natural delivery. This wasn't one of those times for me. It felt like 'okay its time to throw out something titillating in the conversation. Hmm, lets tell the heroine she's f--able. It just didn't work for me.
Well, I've vented long enough about two little sentences. What about you? What pulls you in? What turns you off?

Manic Monday
Every day is a gift....Mondays just happen to be of the gag variety.
~*~
I took a vacation day Friday. Being the good buds you are, you're probably hoping it was for something fun and exciting. Unfortunately, no. I took the day off to clean my floors. I shampooed the carpets and waxed the hardwoods. Yup, you guessed it. We are getting ready to go back on the market. I got to tell you, I'm not Ms. Susie Homemaker. I can't believe lugging around a shampooer and all the boring stuff that shampooing carpets entails wore me out, but it did.
What about you? Do anything exciting this weekend?
