Free Useful Information

ATM Information for Police to find robber:

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in REVERSE. For example if your pin# is 1234 then you would put 4321. The ATM recognized that your pin number is backward form the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

Did you know that there are more germs on phones than on a toilet handle?

British researchers found that cell phone users harbor 18 more bacteria than a flushed toilet handled.

Do you have a stack of college textbooks in your house? Go to http://www.bigwords.com. Enter in the ISBN and then they will tell you if any store is buying your books.

FYI: If you have used bibles that you do not need or use, mail them here:

http://www.web-ministry.com/freebibles/donte.php

http://www.bf.org/bibledrive/cc.htm

http://www.childtel.org/donate.htm

 

If you have one cat you need two cat litter boxes, if you add another cat you need another box. This will prevent them from spraying.

Clothes: Mark all your clothes with a clothespin, a safety pin, or some type of mark. After six months to a year, donate whichever clothes you have not worn or used.

Helpful sites: http://www.flylady.com and http://www.paytrust.com

To give away items visit http://www.FreeCycle.com

Over the years I have learned that keeping storage items in clear plastic bins so you can see through to see the items is better than colored storage bins.

Random Rambling Sunday

Historians that have already been here and gone have left behind valuable lessons in life we all can learn from. It is important to know that in order to be admired that standing out from the crowd is what makes the difference between being valuable, remembered and different.
For example Socrates, Mother Teresa,Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr., and Gandhi; all have left their mark on the world today and for years to come.Interesting enough each individual has lived their life on their own terms.
They did not fit the “norm of society” as we all know in the cultures of today.
I have a saying and it is, knowledge is power.
Life is a journey and I intend to use my knowledge to share empowering perspectives that I have learned from the generations of historians of our past centuries.
Perhaps some of you may have felt like you didn’t “fit in”, even as a young child.
This feeling often stretches into adulthood too. I know this is true for me. I like to think outside the box.
It just seems that if I always do things the same waylife become boring.
Some people like the daily grind of a routine.
They like to have a sense of control of their time and their day.
In reality they are not in control it is an illusion.
For example, I can take a different way to and from work,or to and from the store and my day seems more exciting.
I love to try new restaurants and new foods.
So, by doing the same things, we cannot expect to get different results, agreed?
So in order to get new results or better result weneed to try different approaches, different perspectives, and new beliefs about what is possible. Its like the more I think differently the better I feel and the better the results. Of course in the positive aspects of the thoughts we have notthe negative thoughts.
I wrote this on http://www.scribd.com/
and place to put your writing into and then possibly publish.

Hi Jackie,

You wanted to know how to make a signature like I have on Leeswammes
Well, in Word, I chose a font I liked, then I wrote the word leeswammes with it. Then, if I remember well, I used a little program called “Snipping Tool” that I got free with my laptop (maybe everyone with a Windows operating system has it?) and “cut out” the string of words from the page on the screen. I saved this and so it’s a picture that I use under every post (if I don’t forget as I have to add it manually).
Hope that works for you!
Enjoy your Sunday!

When Did Tv Producers First Allow Actors To Sleep In The Same Bed On Air?

''I Love Lucy

Image via Wikipedia

I Herd Back In 1934 When They First Started Airing TV Shows, That They Didn’t Allow Opposite Sex’s Sleep In The Same Bed. If That’s True When Did They First Start Allowing That?

It was true through the 50s as well. If you look at the classic sitcom, I Love Lucy, you’ll notice Lucy and Ricci sleep in separate beds. Actually that was one of the earliest examples of even showing a bedroom of any sort in a TV show.

I don’t think they started showing couples in a single bed until the late 60s. I know the Brady Bunch was able to do this, but even that was considered somewhat racy as they were actually in the center of the bed, as opposed to staying on the edges.

What TV shows do you remember Couples Sleeping in “separate beds?”

1. Dick Van Dyke Show

2. I love Lucy

3. Monsters

In 1955: What did people say about new cars?

Here is a wonderful link if you want to get your resume noticed!

Innovate your Resume!

Comments made in the year 1955!

‘I’ll tell you one thing, if things

keep going the way they are,

it’s going to be impossible to

buy a week’s groceries for $10.00. ‘

‘Have you seen the new cars

coming out next year? It won’t

be long before $1, 000.00 will

only buy a used one.

‘If cigarettes keep going up in

price, I’m going to quit; 20 cents

a pack is ridiculous. ’

‘Did you hear the post office is

thinking about charging 7 cents

just to mail a letter.’

If they raise the minimum wage

to $1.00, nobody will be able to

hire outside help at the store.’

‘When I first started driving, who

would have thought gas would

someday cost 25 cents a gallon.

Guess we’d be better off leaving

the car in the garage.’

‘I’m afraid to send my kids to the

movies any more. Ever since they

let Clark Gable get by with saying

DAMN in ‘GONE WITH THE WIND‘,

it seems every new movie has

either HELL or DAMN in it.

‘I read the other day where some

scientist thinks it’s possible to put

a man on the moon by the end of

the century. They even have some

fellows they call astronauts

preparing for it down in Texas .’

‘Did you see where some baseball

player just signed a contract for

$50,000 a year just to play ball?

It wouldn’t surprise me if someday

they’ll be making more than the

President. ’

‘I never thought I’d see the day

all our kitchen appliances would

be electric. They are even making

electric typewriters now. ’

‘It’s too bad things are so tough

nowadays. I see where a few

married women are having to

work to make ends meet. ’

‘It won’t be long before young

couples are going to have to hire

someone to watch their kids so

they can both work.’

‘I’m afraid the Volkswagen car

is going to open the door to a

whole lot of foreign business.’

Thank goodness I won’t live to

see the day when the Government

takes half our income in taxes. I

sometimes wonder if we are

electing the best people to

government.’

‘The drive-in restaurant is

convenient in nice weather,

but I seriously doubt they

will ever catch on.’

‘There is no sense going on short

trips anymore for a weekend. It

costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay

in a hotel.’

‘No one can afford to be sick

anymore. At $15.00 a day in

the hospital, it’s too rich for

my blood.’

‘If they think I’ll pay 30 cents

for a hair cut, forget it.’

NOTE FROM JACKIE*(When I started in the business in 1985- haircuts were 6.00). Today is 2011 and they are at least 10.00 and up.

You have what it takes to Survive

You Have What it Takes

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, He will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you”
(2 Corinthians 9:10, NLT)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

When Jesus sent His disciples out to heal the sick, meet their needs, and share the Gospel, He told them, “Give as freely as you have received” (Matthew 10:8). In other’s words, God has given you everything you need to do what He’s called you to do in this life. He has equipped you to be successful and has empowered you to overcome in this life. He’s given you seed to sow in order to have an abundant harvest in your future. You have what it takes!

God has placed seed in your hand today, but in order for that seed to produce, it has to be planted. It has to be watered. It has to be fertilized. Today, ask God to show you where to plant your seed. Make sure you are sowing in the right ground and tending to the seed He has given you. Remember, God has a good plan for your future. He has plans to bless you and increase you. Today, you have what it takes to move forward and receive the blessing He has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, thank You for equipping me for every good work. Thank You for giving me good seed to sow! I invite You to guide my every step by Your precious Holy Spirit. Thank You for choosing me to be a part of Your plan. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen - Passing along my favorite Email today above.

Okay, I had to post this today as I am standing strong in our Lord. If you do read this post…I am starting a new blog at

http://addicatedtopaxil.blogspot.com/ Jackie‘s new blog Paxil

The reason I am doing this is to vent my mad mind as I am on day 15 OFF Cold Turkey from PAXIL.

I am not and I mean NOT happy. I am in a detox stage. All the prayers you have will be so nice.

“If it were not for BAD LUCK, I’d Have NO LUCK at all….” This is how I FEEL TODAY.

Nothing is going right and I mean NOTHING.

Bless all of YOU.
