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!

*lol* I haven't figured out how to put pictures/images in the messages or I would show you what a gel pen is! It's the ink ones that write/glide smoothly *drool* .. I have red ones..black.. *spittle flying* err.. blue ones *dabs mouth* I love them!!

Click on this:

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.

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.. 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.

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.

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..

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

Monique

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.

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