You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop and to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself: “I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Hi All,
As a mother of 4, army veteran, full time employee, civic volunteer, part time college attendee, indoor and outdoor repair person and the chief cook and bottle washer for my family, I have decided to embark on a new diversion besides Dora and Spongebob. We'll see if my poor brain still has enough voltage left to actually write and think in complete sentences. Enjoy!
Some have been asking me what a J.O.A.T. is - I'm making everyone guess!!! If you think you know - send me an e-mail and I'll tell you if you are right - no posting it publicly -why spoil the fun of guessing LOL!!!
People in the know include:
Agvulpes Paper Moon Feline Prophet
Shadesbreath Trish1048 Hawkesdream
The Old Firm TheMindlessBrute Nellie Hoxie
Cindyvine Sunny Robinson Mighty Mom
***No one tells Ralwus - he has to guess it on his own!!
J.O.A.T. is NOT:
Jumped On A Toad - Sunny
Joy Of A Toy- Mindless Brute
Jelly On A Toast - Sunny
Journal Of Applied Treknology- Ralwus **Keep trying dear!**
Jill Of Angel Tread - Ralwus- Nope!
Jill Of Anger Thread- Ralwus - Getting closer
Jumped On A Train - Ralwus - Nope - Hint: "Of" is correct
Jane of Artistic Talents - Warmer Ralwus Warmer!!
Mighty Mom gave me a whole list:
Janey Once And Totally; Jiminy Ominy and Toto; Jill Out Against Trolls, Jello, Oatmeal, Apples, Toast; Joan Of Arc Triumphs
But they did give me a laugh!
Fish Killer Update- BWAHAHA! We have another goldfish courtesy of the local county fair and my youngest daughter. She has duly named him or her "Meemo" Meemo has adapted to the tank after being shaken stirred and stared at on the way home.
I'm doomed to having goldfish forever!!!!

I wrote this originally as a class paper in early 2008 to explore whether or not and how much globalization has affected the unions and whether or not this has had an impact upon our standard of living. I let the paper stand on it's own merits...
