Hi guys,<BR>Just wanted to say have a good weekend enjoying your own company, regardless of your situation. I know weekends can be tough and I think of you guys a lot since I don't usually post a lot on weekends. You're still in my heart and in my prayers, please know this. I never stop thinking of you, I'm addicted to you guys!<P>SO, *I* thought that now is a good time to think about and list (as many as you can) what all your good points, talents and qualities are? <P>One minister I was watching one time said that we should all be able to list at least THREE HUNDRED GOOD THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES! You know, things we are good at and/or our own good qualities! Can you even think of 10 really great qualities about yourself, let alone 300!?!? What an awesome challenge?!! If you can think of 300, go for it! I'm really interested. I'll start:<BR><OL TYPE=1><BR><LI>I can type as fast as I think.<BR><LI>I'm loyal to my friends.<BR><LI>I'm sincere.<BR><LI>I LOVE Fridays since I'm off work so I gotta go now! BYE!<BR></OL><p>[This message has been edited by BINthereDUNthat (edited September 21, 2001).]

Great...just what I'm in the mood for.<P>You know in "Relationship Rescue" this one of the things that Dr. Phil says will help you to reconnect with your WS or rather with you H since this book is aimed at the merely "bent" marriage not the broken one.<P><B>Ok, for me:</B><P>I'm am----<P>Creative, hardworking, well-loved, musical, intelligent, faithful, helpful, good mother, organized, willing to take on whatever comes, resourceful, respectful and kind....all in all I like me...but got room to improve.<P><B>As for WH</B><P>He is----<P>intelligent, genial, likeable, reasonably patient with me and my sulks, inept at romance but wants to learn, giving, talkative, fun to be around, like a big panda bear you want to put your arms around, generally truthful (to a fault), a sports nut, good teacher, a good provider...geez, that wasn't so hard. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>All in all a good exercise for me...helps me concentrate on the "good things" about him and about me.

HEY! You guys all made me smile! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>I thought your answers were all very interesting and entertaining and inspiring! <P>WAT--everybody gets better looking with every beer! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] <P>venizio--I think it's good to laugh at our own jokes!<P>Rose Red--Ooooo! Gold polish on your toes! I LIKE IT! <P>GodlyMan--you iron your own shirts! WOW! A RRREEAL MAN! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Mikkey--I admire your faith--accepting God's will without understanding why and when and how...<P>snobird--I need you to come over and help me trim my guinea pig's claws! I do a few at a time and then when/if I make him yelp, I get too nervous and have to take a break. Good thing he only has 3 toes on his back feet, AND, only 3 of his front toes are white so it's very difficult to see the vein on all the other toes... My husband and my oldest both refuse to help me!!!!! Plus the fat little fur ball bites! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] One time he bit me really hard and my oldest asked me what it sounded like? I said, "AAAAAAAAUUUUUGH!" <P>jdmac1--YOU are going to make your wife such a happy girl. I just hope she realizes it before it's too late and you change directions...<P>Cali--mmmmm! What's your favorite thing to bake, I wonder??? My favorite thing to bake is lemon pound cake because it's delicious and easy. BUT, my favorite homebaked thing to EAT are oatmeal raisin cookies!!<P>buffy--interesting thoughts, I wish I could be more NEAT AND TIDY, but like you, I AM organized. My H is very neat and tidy, but he never can FIND anything! He always has to ask ME where stuff is--HIS stuff?! There IS a method to my messiness!!! Hey! At least I can find the stuff I'm looking for!!! I know where my stuff is AND his stuff! LOL! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]
