AnonymousGuest* Dear who:
I am a Green Eggs and Ham fan, this is where my rhyme comes from. Regarding delivery of my jokes, best way for me at this point is to announce: A joke is about to be delivered, brace yourselves!
I didn’t bother to watch the video. I like you writing that maybe a narcissist is another word for a bully. This is it. So if you tell a bully: you are a bully! He or she will in turn point a finger at the accuser and say: You are pathetic!
And when the bully lives inside the person, as the “toxic internal critic” or the Internal Bully as I call it, a person will tell himself: you are pathetic! It is the bully inside.

jockParticipantOk another hot one here today. a max of 39 degrees centrigrade. I’ve already been to the beach because it is too hot to go there in the middle of the day.
Christmas approaches. It means less every year. I think it means most for families with young children. I can remember as a child Christmas just hooked me. I was fantasising about what present I would get. it really was a special time of year. For me growing up in a huge household of 7 boys and 3 or 4 boarders that my mother took on as well. It was like living in a hotel’motel. I can remember my mother saying to one of my brothers and I “if you wash all the walls of the house this Christmas holidays, I’ll give you 2 dollars. Wow! 2 dollars. ( a lot of money in the sixtees) My brother and I did the job in a week and used the 2 dollars to buy about 10 presents! amazing! Miss that chrsitmas spirit that only a large family can provide.
Guess you guys in the States are freezing or snowed this christmas?December 21, 2015 at 6:21 pm #90194AnonymousGuestDear Jack:
I can imagine little boy Jack with open hand and two dollars in it, his eyes twinkle, and at the stores, little Jack buying presents. Oh, this puts me in a Christmas spirit!
I never got this: is it summer in Australia now? 39 degrees is HOT. Here in WA, not too far from the Canadian border, it is not too cold, just checked online, converting, it is 35 degrees F which is 1.666 degrees centigrade. 1.666 vs, 39. No snow around here but I can see it from here on the mountains around. It has been two winters that have been mild.
Back to little boy Jack anticipating what present he will get on Christmas day.
Reminds me of a piece of news from Fresno, California a few weeks ago. A 19 year old young man went down a chimney of a house with the aim of burglarizing the house, stealing. He got stuck in the chimney and then to make things worse for him (and it couldn’t get worse than what is to come), the owner of the house light the fire in the fireplace and the young man died of burns. People were joking about it but I thought it was very sad. The reason I just thought about it is that children expect Santa to come down the chimney. Really, it is very sad. If I lived in that house I wouldn’t be able to enjoy that fireplace ever again. And the owners have to report to the buyer of what happened in the chimney, it is law, so that house is cursed.
But I digress. Soon will be time to Merry Christmas everyone!

Question: where do you live, on the sun? And you guys just named it Australia..Wow that’s hot!
Good old XMAS!
2 dollars 10 gifts, nice!
For that price I would of had mow the lawn, washed the car, brush my teeth, and gave real hugs to everyone in the family. For an extra 2 dollars!!!Yeah” Xmas then seems more traditional, than it does now! Even though I wasn’t born in the baby boomer era, I do understand about missing some things from my past.
I didn’t have many XMas memories, do the account that my family is poor and because of religious backgrounds.Most of the time I spent XMAS playing with my cousins toys or games growing up.
But I did have 3 and I remember getting a really cool realistic looking fire truck, that my mom got me. And a toy space shuttle. When I was young, I always wanted to be a astronaut. Or (Night RIDER) lol….no joke!Dam! you grew up in a giant family. Sounds kinda like that movie with Ashton Kutcher (Cheaper by the Dozen).
I was only child till 18 years old. I have 2 step brothers, and 1 step sister.
Never grew up with any of them.
So we really don’t know each other.Well Nice! verbals, but I have to catch some zzzzzz” Job hunting tomorrow ehh!
peace!December 21, 2015 at 7:12 pm #90208whoParticipantTo: Anita THANKS FOR AGREEING TO AGREE! LOL
But yeah overcast weather here, and bits or rain here and now.Sorry I will continue tomorrow, gotta catch some zzzzz” good night to all, or good morning to some, and good evening to many!
peace!December 21, 2015 at 7:15 pm #90209jockParticipantWhen we were kids, board games were popular.
I remember receiving as gifts for Christmas games such as :
Monopoly
Park and Shop
Totopoly
Trivial Pursuit
Celebrity Squares
and several others I can’t remember now.
But I remember being so grateful for the presents. Thrilled! Enthralled! Then spending the next 48 hours playing the games non-stop.
Now these games would be dull for the current hi tech generation.December 21, 2015 at 7:16 pm #90210AnonymousGuestDear who:
Always wanted to be an astronaut. That fire truck, do you still have it? What color was it?
Wish you success job hunting. Thumbs up!!! Write about it tomorrow?

I can relate to some of those games growing up, they wur fun!
I think that today memory span for people are very short, meaning now now now, no patience, but it’s okay I get like that sometimes too!
At times just wish more people could slow down and appreciate the little things! such as board games.December 21, 2015 at 7:50 pm #90225AnonymousGuestDear who:
I thought it was bed time for who? Only 10:35 pm, I suppose you can still get your beauty sleep. Candy red fire truck. You really liked that fire truck. Anyway, monopoly. Buy a hotel or go to prison, or what was it…
