Know Which Ice Cream reveals your personality

August 21st, 2008 by joygrace

Vanilla. What comes to mind when you think about vanilla? sweet, maybe romantic, maybe people who like Vanilla are not as boring as you may think. maybe they are intuitive and extremely loyal.

Chocolate chip. When I think of chocolate chip I think of someone off beat a bit, fun and creative. They may have a tendency to be a bit possessive.

 

Strawberry. Those who love this flavor should be sweet and generous. Maybe a bit shy but once comfortable, watch out!

Chocolate. Chocolate lovers match well with those who are seductive and sensual. They are usually lucky in life and outgoing.

 

Coffee. When I think of coffee I think, dramatic and adventurous. I also think passion!

Overcome Shyness

August 19th, 2008 by joygrace

Everyone feels shy sometimes, but being too shy can hamper many aspects of your life.

1. Determine why you’re shy in the first place. For example, are you scared of what someone might say about your physical appearance? Remember, there’s an underlying reason for how you react in situations.

2. Act as if you’re not shy. In private, behave as if you’re oozing confidence. Hold your chin up, stick your chest out, add a swagger to your walk and speak firmly. It may seem ridiculous, but you will see results when you’re out in public.

3. Practice making eye contact and smiling in your interactions with others. Strike up casual conversations with strangers about weather or current events.

4. Look your best. One way to improve self-consciousness is to always look good and limit ways you can be self-critical.

5. Lower your fear of rejection by imagining the worst possible outcome. If you approach someone, they may say “no” or they may just walk away. Absolutely everybody has been rejected at some point, but no one has to dwell on it.

6. Look and learn. Watching friends or even strangers who aren’t shy is a good way to learn some tips first-hand.

7. Feel positive about yourself, don’t get frustrated and have fun. Remember, the real goal is to find someone who will like you for who you are.

How to Give Your Pet a Monthly Home Exam

August 18th, 2008 by joygrace

me and my turtle pet Twinkle…

Preventative maintenance and keeping your pet healthy starts with you. Knowing how to perform a simple monthly home exam and the red flags to look for can help minimize vet visits—as well as let you know if one is necessary. Here are some things to look for.

Step 1

Check your pet’s weight; it should remain stable (within a few pounds) from month to month. If the feeding schedule stays consistent and you notice that your pet “looks too skinny” or “looks too fat” it is probably a good idea to schedule a vet exam.

Step 2

Brush your pet’s fur (or part with your fingers) in the opposite direction of growth to check the skin for redness or irritation. A black, crusty residue could be a sign of fleas.

Step 3

Check your pet’s coat, ears, eyes and paws for burrs, ticks and any other foreign objects that might be trapped. If your pet spends a lot of time outdoors, it’s a good idea to do it more often.

Step 4

Run your hands all over your pet’s skin to feel for lumps, bumps or growths. If you come across a lump or growth, check for more. Notice whether it is hard or soft and if it causes the pet pain when you touch it. It could be a number of things: bug bite, fatty tissue, wart, cyst, skin sore, callous, foreign object stuck under the skin or a malignant or benign tumor. Report any lumps, bumps or growths to your vet.

Step 5

Use gentle pressure to feel around the base of your pet’s jaw, in front of the shoulder blades, behind the “elbows” of the front and back legs, and where the thighs meet the abdomen. Note if there is anything prominent or if there appears to be lymph node pain.

Step 6

Observe your pet’s nose to check for roughness, peeling, pigmentation changes or unusual discharge.

Step 7

Check the ears for redness and inflammation. Look for hair loss around the ears, odor, abnormal discharge, crusting and dark brown or black debris. Also observe if your dog winces when the ear is touched. These are all common signs of ear infection or ear mites.

Step 8

Pull your pet’s top eyelid back. If the white of the eye appears yellow or orange, or if it looks pink and irritated (a sign of conjunctivitis), consult your vet.

Step 9

Examine your pet’s teeth for tartar and the gum line for growths. Tartar is normally a yellow-brown layer on the teeth near the gum line.

happy birthday to me

August 9th, 2008 by joygrace

Happy Birthday
A love poem
I’m not sure you want me
to give you a poem like this
for your birthday –
a poem which says I need
to bury myself in the center of your heart
and swim there like a mermaid.

I pretend to do ordinary things like
birthday cards
but all the cells in my body are
throwing a tantrum because
you’re not here with me
even when I open the dishwasher
or the blind
my body is aching because I’m not bending for you
and my skin shouts angrily to the angels
because your hands are not touching me

I am completely crazy
crazy for you
and because it’s your birthday
I try to fold my love
in half to go in an envelope
like an ordinary ‘love from’
but I may as well fold the sky
which for me
is held aloft
only by your kisses.
