What every woman should........

It’s the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it’s the little differences that make them interesting.

I had my Iron infusion yesterday and boy do I feel great today. Either I am doing great or the difference from where I was is so big that I don’t know the difference. I am of course happy that I have made so much progress but I am also pleased that there is no reason to believe that I can’t fulfill all my obligations in the days ahead.

I was not sure what to write about in the Daily today so I was roaming through my file of saved articles looking for inspiration when I stumbled across this piece that a Daily reader sent me a few years back. I don't know who sent it, but I think it is worth considering so I thought I would share it with you. By the way substituting “he” for “she” in most cases also works. I did decide though that my buying a Black Lace Bra for myself would have a negative impact on my domestic tranquility so I am not going to get one, nor am I going to put my life at risk by opting for one or two of the other suggestions.
I send it on to you in the same spirit that the original sender sent it to me, see her last sentance.

Every Woman Should Have...
One old love she can imagine going back to, and one who reminds her how far she has come.
Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to and needs to.
Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour.
A youth she's content to leave behind.
A past so juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.
The realization that she is actually going to have an old age and some money set aside to fund it.
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra.
One friend who always makes her laugh, and one who lets her cry.
A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family.
Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored.
A resume that is not even slightest bit padded.
Every Woman Should Know...
How to fall in love without losing herself.
How to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
When to try harder, and when to walk away.
How to have a good time at a party she'd never choose to attend.
How to ask for what she wants in a way that makes it most likely she'll get it.
That she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.
That her childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over.
What she would and wouldn't do for love or more.
How to live alone, even if she doesn't like it.
Whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally.
Where to go, be it to her best friend's kitchen table, or a charming inn in the woods, when her soul needs soothing.
What she can and can't accomplish in a day, a month, and a year.
If nothing else, know that you are truly loved and thought of by the friend who sent this to you and that she only wishes the best for you and your life because you are the one that counts.

These four rabbis had a series of theological arguments, and three were always in accord against the fourth. One day, the odd rabbi out, after the usual "3 to 1, majority rules" statement that signified that he had lost again, decided to appeal to a higher authority.
"Oh, God!" he cried. "I know in my heart that I am right and they are wrong! Please give me a sign to prove it to them!"
It was a beautiful, sunny day. As soon as the rabbi finished his prayer, a storm cloud moved across the sky above the four. It rumbled once and dissolved. "A sign from God! See, I'm right, I knew it!" But the other three disagreed, pointing out that storm clouds form on hot days.
So the rabbi prayed again: "Oh, God, I need a bigger sign to show that I am right and they are wrong. So please, God, a bigger sign!" This time four storm clouds appeared, rushed toward each other to form one big cloud, and a bolt of lightning slammed into a tree on a nearby hill.
"I told you I was right!" cried the rabbi, but his friends insisted that nothing had happened that could not be explained by natural causes.
The rabbi was getting ready to ask for a VERY big sign, but just as he said, "Oh God...," the sky turned pitch black, the earth shook, and a deep, booming voice intoned, "HEEEEEEEE'S RIIIIIIIGHT!"
The rabbi put his hands on his hips, turned to the other three, and said, "Well?"
"So," shrugged one of the other rabbis, "now it's 3 to 2."

A psychology student was to help a professor in conducting a personality test. The room was set up with various props in order to move through the assessment quickly. The first person to enter the room started through the test.
"How does this glass of water look to you?"
Person 1: It is half empty.
Student writes 'pessimist' in his report.
Person 2 enters the room. "How does this glass of water look to you?"
Person 2: It is half full.
Student writes 'optimist' in his report.
Person 3 enters the room. "How does this glass of water look to you?"
Person 3: Looks like you have twice as much glass as you need there.
The student looks totally blank and goes to consult with the professor.
"Oh them!” the professor says, "I forgot to warn you about the engineers! They have no personality."

She said: After directory assistance gave me my boyfriend's new telephone number, I dialed him -- and got a woman.
"Is Mike there?" I asked.
"He's in the shower," she responded.
"Please tell him his girlfriend called," I said and hung up.
When he didn't return the call, I dialed again. This time a man answered. "This is Mike," he said.
"You're not my boyfriend!" I exclaimed.
"I know," he replied. "That's what I've been trying to tell my wife for the past half-hour."
