What Scent Soap Are You?

Oh, amen to the no-drama life!  I would say it’s true that I’m slow to warm up, to just about anything. 
And I do make an awesome milk and honey soap!  😀

You Are Milk and Honey Soap

You are very calming and soothing to those around you. Just your presence makes everything better.
You are centered and grounded. You would rather life a simple life than one with too much drama.

You are slow to act and slow to warm up once you do act. You don’t like to rush into anything.
You are an ethical person, and you are always looking for ways to be better. You consider as many factors as you can.

A man was telling his neighbor, “I just bought a new hearing aid. It cost me four thousand dollars, but it’s state of the art. It’s perfect.”

“Really,” answered the neighbor, “what kind is it?”

“Twelve thirty.”

Sounds like pretty typical “state of the art” now days!  lol

What Kind of Garden Are You?

Oh I love English gardens! 
I do like to change things up – I think of it as “tweaking.”  🙂

You Are an English Garden

You are creative and vibrant. You are inspired by everything around you, and you don’t have any one style.
You like a mix of old and new. And you always have something unique to add to the equation as well.

You are informal, open-minded, and flexible. You love to play around with art and design.
You tend to change things up a lot. Whether it’s your own clothes or your home, you can’t stay with one look for long!

Tradition

 

During a service at an old synagogue in Eastern Europe, when the Shema prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting.

The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, and the ones standing yelled at the ones sitting to stand up…

The rabbi, learned as he was in the Law and commentaries, didn’t know what to do. His congregation suggested that he consult a house-bound 98 year old man, who was one of the founders of their temple. Perhaps the elderly man would be able to tell him what the actual temple tradition was. So he went to the nursing home with a representative of each faction of the congregation.

The one whose followers stood during Shema said to the old man, “Is the tradition to stand during this prayer?”

The old man answered, “No, that is not the tradition.”

The one whose followers sat asked, “Is the tradition to sit during Shema?”

The old man answered, “No, that is not the tradition.”

Then the rabbi said to the old man, “The congregants fight all the time, yelling at each other about whether they should sit or stand…”

The old man interrupted, exclaiming, “Yes! THAT is the tradition!”

The Soap Bubble Test

Details!  Yes, details are important!  I suppose sometimes I can get a bit … annoying about some details.  I’ve worked in banking, and if the balance isn’t to the penny, there can be problems, so exactness has it’s place! 
But, I would have to say that I AM a bit of a dreamer.  Big time, actually.  🙂  Isn’t’ that were ideas are born, in dreams?  😉

All rights reserved by Vanessence

You Are Somewhat Exacting

You are a well rounded person who can see both small details and the whole picture. You are very balanced.

You are slow to act. You like to weigh your options carefully before deciding what to do.

You are extremely down to earth. You aren’t much of a dreamer – you’re a doer.

You are a bit mysterious and withdrawn. You have deep spirituality that others can’t grasp.

Church Whisper

 

A mother took her little boy to church. While in church the little boy said, Mommy, I have to pee.”
The mother said to the little boy, “It’s not appropriate to say the word ‘pee’ in church. So, from now on whenever you have to ‘pee’ just tell me that you have to ‘whisper.'”
The following Sunday, the little boy went to church with his father and during the service said to his father, “Daddy, I have to whisper.
The father looked at him and said, “Okay, just whisper in my ear.”

*****

You see now why it’s so important for parents to communicate?!  lol

Joke of the Day

A man asked his wife what she’d like for her birthday.

“I’d love to be eight again.” she replied.

On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her off to the local theme park.

What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.

Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald’s where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.

Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, and her favorite M&M’s.

What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, “Well, Dear, what was it like being eight again?”

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. “I meant my dress size!!!!!!!”

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he’s gonna get it wrong.

*****

LOLOL  Well, even if they get it wrong sometimes (and don’t we all?!) you have to give them an A+ for trying so hard to please us!  😀

Have an awesome weekend, and May the Fourth be with you!  😉
