Hi Betsy! Ok..my turn.. My name is Monique..and well, I'm a gel pen addict. I don't want to share mine.. and everytime.. I go to the store I want some! My ex husband always asks for my GOOD pens..and that means my gel ones. I just usually try to give him a ballpoint pen ;) heh If I loved him enough to give him a gel pen..we would still be married!

:Excited:

Click on this: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/im...nsertimage.gif

When you click onit another Blue box will appear in upper left corner. Delete what is in there already, http://, then paste the url in there.

Or just type in the image brackets youself.

Then put the url of the picture between the brackets. http://www.imtorrents.com/images/smi...y%20Tongue.gif

My insert image button doesn't work :( When I click on other things it'll put up brackets like for quoting I get the [Quote] brackets.. but touching the image button doesn't do anything.. :mad: Darnit..

My top 3 impractical things:

1. Candy Apple Red Corvette (convertible). Yummy!
2. A welder and plasma cutter of my own. I have to use DBF's now.
3. A closet full of pretty shoes that I can actually wear and not kill myself doing it. lol.

Practical things:

1. Nivea Nighttime Renewal lotion. Awesome for intensely dry skin. I ran out and need to order more.
2. AAA and AA batteries. You can never have enough with kids around.
3. A daily inspirational story, concept, motivator to keep my aspirations going.

An inspirational story
 

Those are great ideas.. I should probably go out and buy an inspirational book to get me through the hard times. I don't know if you ever heard of Randy Pausch. He is a professor at Carnegie Mellon that is dying of pancreatic cancer.

This is his speech on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

He gave a lecture called "the last lecture" about what you would say if it was your last lecture and you were dying. It's a hypothetical thing but in his case it's true. I want to go out and buy his book..

http://www.amazon.com/Last-Lecture-R.../dp/1401323251

In Sept. they gave him 2-3 months or so and he's been going on this long. The last thing I read was the cancer has spread as of May of this year to his lungs, lymph nodes and other areas which is very sad. But he is very inspirational so I still want to buy and read his book :)

I have never heard of him before. What an amazing man he is. Thanks.

Several years ago I read a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer. It was pretty good. Then I saw him on a PBS special and was really impressed. I bought one of his books and have never opened it. LOL. So much for being inspired to be inspired. lol.

A few months ago I read a book written by Piero Ferrucci called "The Power of Kindness." It was awesome! It really hit home for me as I was able to see things that I am doing well and no so well. I am going to read it again as a reminder as it was so uplifting.

And make sure you put the / in the second one, that closes the tab. http://www.imtorrents.com/images/smi...y%20Tongue.gif

I have heard and seen him a few times. I don't know WHERE he gets his energy. :eek: He isn't going down without a fight, that's for Damn sure.
