A while ago, I was reading “The Lean Years” in New York Times. I agree that a lot of men are putting less effort in acquiring education and skills. It is as if they have been complacent with their position and content about just making enough to cover the basic needs their families need.

There was this article that I read stating that women nowadays have more skills, get higher educational attainment and therefore earn more than men. Getting a degree and/or studying further is not that difficult these days since one can get accredited online degrees to suit one’s needs and position.

It has even came to a point that for some one-income families, it is the woman who is in the workplace and the man who stays at home.

I know of two three households doing that though it doesn’t bother me: the gender reversal of pre-conceived roles that women stay at home while the men go to work to earn for the family.

I say whatever is more practical and beneficial then families should go for it.

I was looking for movies being shown the other day when I saw a title which intrigued me: “The Lovely Bones”

I looked for a synopsis and a trailer and I watched this in YouTube: The Lovely Bones

“My name is Salmon, like the fish. First name, Susie. i was fourteen years old when I was murdered on December 16th, 1973. I wasn’t gone. I was alive in my own perfect world. But in my heart, I knew it wasn’t perfect. My murderer still haunted me. My father had the pieces but he couldn’t make them fit. I waited for justice but justice did not come.”

Now I gotta read the book!

This is probably my kind of reading material which I would read than nose-bleeding on www.wholesaleinsurance.net with all its financial terminologies

The book I’m sure is a tearjerker since the movie moved to me to tears  several times. Yes, I watched it last night with my hubby.

Yesterday when I was watching a CNN Video of John King as he toured 50 states and had interaction with a lot of people, he said something that hit home hard: “Economic anxiety is not a theory, it is a way of life for a whole lot of people.”

Yes, I agree and living in a country where a lot of people are living below poverty line, economic anxiety seems to be something one lives with or one that can’t live without.

Someone I know has been dropping hints to me about life insurance quotes when I know this is the last person I know who will venture into something like this.

If we can’t adapt, then we may never learn how to deal with these anxiety and uncertain future.

I posted jiggly photos of a water droplet here and a glass with ice cubes here.

If I have been “brave” enough, I would have posted a photo of jiggly behind that needs some quick trim burn & cleanse treatment

Nah, I wouldn’t, I mean, couldn’t do that since I find that mean, even if it was ME in the photo (or better be another person in this matter)

Food photos are partly to blame here. Yea right.

Someone I know recently underwent a colon cleansing treatment from a spa/therapy/treatment health and wellness center. I am not sure if she is taking colon cleansing pills but what I know of was she went through an oral cleansing regimen by ingesting food with lots of dietary fiber.

In our household we try to do some things differently by doing some changes in our food intake to make sure we have fiber rich food to help and digestion and fecal movement. Ewww? No, its not.

We have brown rice which is said to be rich in fiber. We have coffee that has green beans. We steer clear of food rich in animal fat. We have fish and white meat as part of the diet more than we have red meat. Processed food has no place in our meals and we try to avoid these as much as possible. Fruits and vegetables are regularly consumed.

These are just a few of the little steps to be done to ensure that health is given priority without denting the budget. It is doable.

Looking at the New Year family photos was a lot of fun but I have to say I was disappointed with how I looked because I got this big zit on the middle part of my chin. It is obvious in the photos and it even looked like a big red mole,

I had to read about these things again in an acnezine review just like back when I was in high school not too long ago (tee-hee).

Looking back, I can say I never really had problems with pimples except on those days when the monthly period shows up and I get these really big ones. Ugh. I still do get them and I don’t know if I prefer one on my chin or inside my ear. Argh!
