On Line Earning.. …. a path way.
http://Paid2Refer.com/ref.php… Please have a look. U will be gainer
What it has taken me 33 years to learn
-You can be funny and kind or funny and cruel. The second one is easier, but the first one is worth it.
-Dip the french fry in the Frosty. Go on, try it.
-Habit is a powerful force we forget about until it’s turned against us. Be careful which ones you create.
-You will remember the most embarrassing crap you do in your life forever and in perfect clarity. Everyone else will remember the kindest things you do. It all comes out in the wash.
-If you’re doing a remote podcast, it’s worth it to record audio locally and mix it together. Trust me on this one.
-You’re the only one who can let go of your grudges. It’s worth it, I promise. They’re not doing you any good.
-Doing the good, brave, kind things can feel silly if you let your internal critic get in the way. Reminder: No…

“You’ll Make a Great Wife Someday”
I was at my cousin Emily’s wedding reception, and someone spilled their drink on the dance floor. I wanted to make sure the dance floor was safe and nobody slipped on the puddle of liquor, so I asked the bartender for a rag to clean it. As I placed the cloth on the floor and quickly tried to dab the liquid up using my foot, a male voice from behind me said “You’ll make a great wife someday.”
I was taken aback to say the least. What does a woman say to that kind of statement? Thank you? Fully aware of the cultural differences involved, I simply shrugged the comment off, smiled and finished cleaning up the mess before someone got hurt.
My placid reaction needs a bit more context in order to make sense. The wedding reception took place in my cousin’s hometown in Central Minnesota. The ceremony was beautiful…

No One Goes to Kindergarten in a Diaper
We started potty training our oldest son the month he turned two. Never mind the fact that he had only come into our lives four months prior, or the fact that there were very evident – if undiagnosed – developmental delays. As I said to the concerned social workers, therapists, doctors and family members, Everyone knows that potty training starts at two. He’ll get it. No one wants to sit in their own poo. They all expressed their beliefs that he wasn’t ready to train. Boys start later, they said. You have to watch for cues. He’ll let you know when he’s ready, they all said. But, don’t worry – no one goes into Kindergarten in a diaper.
You’re damn right they don’t, I thought. Especially not this kid. And so began my obsession with my son’s bowel habits. I charted times, texture, and fiber content. I…

An Open Letter to Chip Wilson of Lululemon
Dear Chip,
Hi. I am your target demographic. Yesterday, I was your best customer. Today, I am pissed.
You see, Chip, it’s my big ol’ thighs. They rub together. Not because I’m obese. Not because I can’t stay away from fast food, but because I was a competitive figure skater for 20 years, and I’ve got what they call a skater booty. As long as I can remember, Lululemon has been my life uniform. On the ice, at the gym, heck, at bars with a cute top. I’d jump at every opportunity to display and promote your brand as a proud Canadian. Now, I come to find that my body is the reason your pants have started to suck. As of today, I will no longer be purchasing your products because, fact is, for a thousand reasons, most women’s thighs touch, and we’re still smokin’ hot.
When I first heard…

School Suspends Teen Boy for Carrying Purse. Why?
For several weeks, an eighth-grade boy outside of Kansas City has been expressing his individuality by carrying a floral-print Vera Bradley purse. But yesterday, his assistant principal demanded he remove it. The boy refused, and he was immediately suspended from school.
This raises a question: Why is it a problem for a boy to carry a purse instead of a backpack if he wants to? By breaking gender stereotypes, he’s not hurting anyone. Instead, he’s showing the world that he has good self-esteem and self-confidence—that he is secure his identity.
Unfortunately, his school administrators’ actions show that they want to force a 13-year-old kid into stereotypical masculinity. Apparently, they value gender conformity over creativity and individuality.

Hanging on the Telephone
Yesterday, I spent 20 minutes clicking my way deeper and deeper into a company’s website, looking for someone’s email address. Unless you’re looking for an incredibly specific, possibly illegal item that’s only sold by a tiny curio shop in the Ukraine, that’s a stupid amount of time to spend looking for anything online. I was determined to find the address or die trying, though, because my only other option was calling her.
Yep. I had her phone number the whole time. When it comes down to it, I would rather fly a rickety, snake-infested plane to the Ukraine to hunt down an incredibly specific, possibly illegal item that’s only sold by a tiny curio shop there than pick up the phone and call someone.
