What about the leisure part?

Well . . . that part may be partially correct, although the term laziness might be more appropriate.

I do make big, long "to do' lists with good intentions, but then I end up only doing half the things on the list.

I'm making an attempt to be more structured. Set grocery days and what not. I think it may help me eat all the time!!!!

I have several things I do like that. For example, I put any bills that arrive in a holder; once a week (Thursday) I pay all bills whether they are actually due right then or not. It's just a little system that makes the task easier.

I used to have a computerized grocery list that was in the same order as the grocery store I go to. It listed 95% of the things I buy every week or every so often. I would just have to check what I needed that week. It helped to make sure I didn't forget something. It irritating to go to the grocery store, then come back home and find out you've forgotten the one thing you absolutely needed (like, say, pie and tuna!).

I'm attempting the same thing. Putting as many bills on auto pay as possible, going to the bank more often, having set days to clean certain rooms...

it is like a not so new year's resolution. I call it the, try and keep your sanity so you last till June resolution :D

I just throw all my bills away, which is far less stressful than paying them.

And when a room needs cleaning, I set it on fire.

Problem solved!

ROAR :D

I think you've discovered the perfect solution. When things get bad . . . move to another country!

I'm considering North Korea.

hey, guys. Much appreciation from howie 'n meh. You all rock. We were so scared and thankfully the operation is over. :e2grouphu :Cake:s! Many thx.

:hooray: So happy that all went well, Susie. May the recuperation time be short and easy. :D :e2grouphu

Our cupboard is loaded up with dark and milk chocolate to make cakes, brownies, hot chocolate, truffles, and Valentine's Day candies. All are virtually welcome.

*waits until we're completely welcome* :D

Yea. Java = eek!

So anyone trying to get you to update Java IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

Interesting article. It says, "...can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute..."

So now there are authenticated attackers? :scared:

:D

:hi: Good morning, house of indubitable debtors. :D

::stumbles in blearily:: Morning, house of the needs more coffee. :e2coffee: I slept in until 6 this morning! Rare days.

I like Rob's method of dealing with stuff. Rob, how do you suggest we deal with work-type activities that get in the way of real life?

So... when my boss asks me to do something, I should beat my chest? That would be... interesting! :D

File them!

At the bottom of the ocean!

ROAR :D

Sadly, I think heyjude is going to need to get a whole lot more manly before that option is open to her.

Poor girl.

*capers*

You could try beating their chest instead.

By the way, I did get a short message from night-flyer on Facebook. I think she's doing okay under the circumstances.

Good to hear - hopefully she'll find her way back here before too long.

Maybe I should plan another Bible story for heyjude's Sunday School class.

I could retell the story of Samson and Delilah using action figures! The Incredible Hulk and Barbie would make a good Samson and Delilah. Barbie's dreamhouse could be the Temple of Gaza.

I might beat my chest just to see the looks on my pastors' faces. :D

:roll: You could definitely teach these kids a thing or two. They'd be bad things, mind, but I'm not so sure they'd be worse than how I'm doing.

"What did you learn in class today, kiddo?" :eek: Someone fire the teacher!

I have a little stuffed lion. I could use it and a Ken doll to reenact Daniel in the lions den.

Only it might not turn out so well for Daniel this time.
