No one will hand you a million dollars just because you are nice
Why do producers assume it’s only men who are fed up in marriages? Guess it’s because most producers are men. They need a “How to murder your husband” equivalent of this film. Maybe they have one already.
This film stars Jack Lemmon as Stanley Ford and Virna Lisi as Mrs. Ford. Ever notice how the Mrs. never needs a name? When you’re a Mrs that’s all you are eh? Mrs. Ford didn’t do too badly landing a man of means did she?
You may have noticed most of the posts over the last several days have been excerpts from the novel “Valentine’s Heart”. Well taking a break from that for the moment. Money still tight. Sanity at risk. Here are some pretty purple lavender pink flowers for your enjoyment.

They say the best things in life are free. These photos make a good argument for this being true.
Can a pair of Louboutins make you gasp with awe and wonder or nourish your body and soul or fill your senses?

What does it really mean to be a rich woman? How important is money if it cannot buy life? The most precious gems the earth produces are it’s people. All of its people, and all have equal value and equal worth.
These are images of China’s gems captured by a photographer who goes by the name babasteve on flickr
There are millions of people all over the world who have nothing and yet are thriving.
Remind yourself of this truth whenever you start to feel like you have nothing and therefore are worthless. Nothing is worth more than life and you have life therefore you have everything.

It is 4:46PM. The hubby is on his way home from work. I’ve just spoken to my mother on the phone. That’s a rare occurrence. I’m disturbed by news of a planned visit next month. Honestly I’m not in any place mentally to deal with a visit from my parents. I’m struggling to get through to tomorrow every day; but what am I supposed to do, tell them I don’t want to see them? Sigh.
Let me take a dose of tanakawho in pink.
I enjoy the work of the photographer who goes by the name tanakawho on flickr. Did I have his artistic vision and talent I might be making more than $0.34 cents per day and then I wouldn’t have to dread seeing my parents because I would be accomplished and well-established and have no reason to hang my head in shame over being a complete failure.
It is 4:41PM Thursday October 9th 2008. I am fighting against the urge to fly into a panic. I’m worried about my money situation. I’ve made $0.20 cents today. I still have past due bills and bills coming up due. I have yet to figure out how to turn my business around. Some people suggest that after a year of being unable to turn things around it’s time to call my business the failure that it is; but I can’t do that. I have to keep going even though it’s pitch black and I can’t see a thing and have no clue if I’m even on planet earth.
Here are some pictures of Michael Paul prints I’ve just viewed on art.com to try to distract myself from my urge to panic over the state of my finances.

Today I came across a story about a college student who was looking to auction off her virginity for 1 million dollars back in September. I wonder how that turned out.
Everyone was so shocked and appalled. How could a woman give away her precious virginity to any old Joe willing to pay a million dollars? People were of the opinion that a woman’s virginity is a precious thing to be given as a gift to someone special.
Most women give away their virginity for nothing to someone who eventually ends up on the list of men they wish they’d never met.
I wonder how many women who gave their virginity to some boy/man who turned out to be a jerk and a loser would look back with regret if they’d at least gotten a million dollars out of the experience.
For something so precious and valuable, we sure do forget about our virginity pretty fast after we lose it.
I’m inclined to doubt Ms. Dylan received a million dollars for her virginity though. Most people with that kind of money won’t spend it on pleasure that lasts a few seconds.
I’ve been trying to find information about how it all turned out but can’t find anything, so if you know please feel free to tell us. Was Howard Stern able to help Natalie Dylan find someone to pay her a million dollars for her virginity? Or was it all just a big hoax? It reads more like a marketing ploy. Just not sure who was the beneficiary.
Hey Geo out there in Illinois, thanks for writing me to let me know that you think I suck. It’s always interesting to discover the conclusions people draw about you from reading your personal writings. I do wish you had been a little more detailed though.

Subject: You suck!
Details: I think you are an ego trippin fool!
Had you explained in what way I am an “ego trippin” fool I might have gained some insight from your remark; but I suspect your goal wasn’t to help me gain insight am I right? You wanted to insult me, maybe even hurt my feelings? You picked an easy target. Congratulations. Here are some gifts for you.

I am having a personal financial crisis, but since I can’t go to the government for a bailout, I’m taking a yellow crisis management moment instead.
I have brought my checking account down to a balance of -$9.63 cents from -$271.63 and my savings down to a balance of -$35.72 from -$60.72. I have $0.92 cents in one PayPal business account, $1.02 in another PayPal Business account and $45.28 in my Adsense account.
